People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Gerald looked a little embarrassed, he drew a cross in front of the red cross on his lapel: "Praise Heavenly Father, your words are as precious as gold and precious stones, I am looking forward to it, and I am honored to have someone who will fight side by side with you." Chance."

The curative effect of the Lazarus potion has long been spread in Jerusalem. Although it is only effective for trauma, isn't trauma the most likely to occur on the battlefield?

Sprinkling a bottle of Lazarus potion on the wound can stop the bleeding quickly, scabs can form within a day, and can heal within a week. It is no different from a second life for the military life where the sanitation is worrying. .

Uldin can donate this precious medicine and even claims to participate in the war. In comparison, the monks in the monastery, including the people behind them, are even more despicable.

Gerrard actually could not understand this behavior.

However, the Knights Templar, as an armored order directly under the Pope, although it has grown up now, in the final analysis, it is still subject to the Pope's control.

A piece of excommunication would not kill a feudal lord.

People in later generations only remember Emperor Henry IV, who was shut out by Pope Gregory during his trip to Carnossin, where he repented barefoot for three days and suffered all kinds of humiliation.

But they didn't know that only three years later, after Henry IV quelled the rebellion, he changed hands and gave Gregory a prisoner, deposed, and re-established the Pope's package.

But a piece of excommunication can definitely kill the Knights Templar.

Behind several monasteries stood the spokesperson of His Majesty the Pope, Cardinal Sebastian, who was the spokesperson of the new Pope.

Pope Celestine III has just succeeded the deceased Clement III as pope. This is a skilled, capable, and ambitious pope. The letter of appeal sent by Baldwin IV not long ago was given to this person.

The straight-hearted nobleman half sighed, half mockingly said: "Bishop Ulding is the truly virtuous clergyman. In comparison, those idiots who only accept indulgences and can't even explain the doctrinal scriptures are simply Disgusting as a fly."

"Oh, there are many 'brilliant deeds' in Ascalon Abbey. I heard that Archbishop Keir likes young and handsome boys the most."

A nobleman sneered and said, "I don't know what kind of sins are bred in that small monastery. If those ugly deeds are not really impossible to announce in this hall, I will definitely tell everyone about them."

Gerald was sweating profusely.

There are a group of monks living in the monastery, and they are not allowed to leave the monastery without permission. A group of men are in a closed environment all day long, and it is conceivable what kind of crime is most likely to be brewed.

"Everyone has misunderstood, but the sacred tree is indeed a miracle created by the mighty power of the heavenly father. Presumably, you cannot deny this. It is only natural that some priests want to follow the convention and bring the sacred tree under the control of the church. It should not be harsh."

Gerald coughed lightly: "However, I don't think this matter is appropriate. Let's discuss it after the Marquis of Lothar returns. I will persuade them to donate as much money as possible to serve as military pay."

All the nobles dismissed this.

They don't know the power behind these monasteries, but they can guess roughly. They are very dissatisfied with the pope's behavior of not only not immediately calling for the support of the Crusaders at this critical moment, but also wanting to grab benefits for himself.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Gerrard sighed softly.

Neither can the Pope.

The former Pope called for the Crusade, and several kings chanted loudly, even if they didn't move their buttocks, and Emperor Henry didn't show any face at all, and he wanted to kill this group of tax-resistant Lombard city-states under the pressure of the Pope.

The prestige of the former Pope Clement III was discredited, and he was almost killed in anger.

If the holy land is about to fall, that's all.

He can also take this opportunity to reprimand the kings in exchange for enough benefits, and gain a lot of prestige for himself in the subsequent war to recover the Holy Land.

As a result, the Holy Land was kept.

The ink stains of the kings became nothing to worry about Saladin, they had the foresight.

This was also the last straw that broke the camel's back. It was only a few days after the news came—even the reason why the Pope was pissed off to cover up the Holy Land was most likely to happen. Clement III died directly in the past few days. up.

Uldin said with a serious expression: "New Habsburg, where the sacred tree is located, belongs to the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Alandre, so don't worry about others, I will help the Marquis of Lothar to manage the people in this land, and persuade more Many pagans converted to orthodoxy."

"Everyone, please forgive me, if the Holy Land falls, what will be left of your wealth, status, and fame?"

"At that time, what's the point of worrying about these so-called gains and losses? The fertile land brought by the Shenmu will become a pasture for the heathen to graze camels, cattle and sheep, and they will even be burned to ashes by them. It's not out of the question to give them that pagan god."

Uldin glanced across the crowd.

In fact, it's not that these nobles or priests are stupid, but the Saracens, who have lost to the Crusaders too many times. In Europe, many nobles and priests never thought that the Holy Land would fall one day.

They firmly believe that the light of the "Father" shines on them.

This kind of self-righteousness that no matter how powerful the enemy is on the surface, he will eventually be defeated by himself is both stupid and somewhat reasonable-just like the first Crusade, this process has a kind of legend Novel-like epic.

"Greed is the original sin."

Uldin's direct gaze made Gerald a little afraid to face him.

He is an upright and pious man, even though the wealth piled up in the treasure house of the Knights Templar, his personal life is still extremely simple.

But in a high position, it is always inevitable to do some unavoidable things. For example, he has a good personal relationship with Roger, the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, but after he succeeds as the Grand Master, he still has to keep away from Roger.

He made a sign of the cross in front of him, and silently retreated into the team without saying a word.

Raymond got up, came to Uldin in full view, bowed his head and kissed the bishop's ring on his finger: "Praise Heavenly Father, praise your piety and generosity, praise your righteous deeds and good deeds, your virtues, As bright as the stars in the sky."

"You are overrated, Lord Tiberias."

Uldin looked at Raymond calmly: "My lord, the safety of the Holy Land is the top priority. Those who lose the Holy Land will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, which is enough to wipe out all past reputations." disaster."

"Relax, Bishop Urdin, I promise you in the name of a Christian, that Jerusalem will eventually defeat all foreign enemies."

"May Heavenly Father bless you."

Uldin made the sign of the cross facing everyone, then turned and left.

He is a jealous person, and he can't understand these fast-paced dogs, but it's not that he doesn't understand the twists and turns inside, otherwise, in the world of giant ships yesterday, he would not be able to achieve the high position of archbishop.

It's just that human patience is always limited.

When Urdin became the bishop of the diocese, he found that he still had no choice but to deal with the unscrupulous wolves and the Holy Church of France, and he was unwilling to take the risk of an all-out war to punish rape and eliminate evil, so his mentality collapsed.

This is why Uldin admires Jeanne so much.

You must know that the dark creature can easily manage a power in the world by virtue of its extraordinary strength. Even though many people later found out that his identity was problematic, but due to the transfer of benefits, many dignitaries not only will not clear the darkness, Instead, it is likely to become its umbrella.

In the process of eliminating these dark creatures, Jeanna offended many people.

If it wasn't for her strong strength, she might have disappeared without a trace like those demon hunters who just debuted and didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Everyone watched him go.

Raymond's expression became serious again: "Bishop Urdin is an example worthy of every Christian to learn from, who is willing to donate extra money to protect the Holy Land, please note that this is the place closest to the Father , the Father is watching you and me."

As soon as the voice fell, people stood up one after another.
