Azeroth’s Death Track

Chapter 796 48. The Change of the Storm. The Reformation of Faith

If it is said that the bishop of Chaldea admitted that he presided over the beheading of a great nobleman, which surprised and frightened the other priests in the church, then at this time, Chaldea admitted that he allowed another faith to enter the Holy Light This directly aroused the anger and contempt in the hearts of other priests.

The moment Chaldea's voice fell, an elderly monk raised his finger and cursed angrily:

Traitor! Heretic! Your heart is no longer pure! Chaldea, you have betrayed the great Holy Light!

The old priest's anger immediately triggered other priests' accusations against Chaldea. Several paladins even raised their weapons. Obviously, this behavior of the Chaldean bishop has touched the last foundation of a faith organization. bottom line.

The belief in the Holy Light of human civilization appeared 2,800 years ago, at the same time as the first human city-state established by Emperor Thoradin. It originated from the time when humans united with high elves to fight against forest trolls. The priests felt a kind of gentle energy in their dreams, which appeared in the minds of the priests in the form of mysterious geometric patterns and the posture of winged angels in myths and legends.

After several generations of inheritance, the first batch of Holy Light priests appeared.

According to Velen, the great prophet of the Draenei people, it should be that group of ancestors who accidentally came into contact with the thoughts of the naaru extending among the stars during meditation, and then opened the holy light cleansing of human civilization. In short, although in 2800 Over the years of inheritance, human civilization has also appeared other short-lived beliefs, but the Holy Light has always firmly occupied the posture of righteous faith in human civilization.

In recent decades of historical changes, dwarves and high elves have converted to the Holy Light, but human beings and human civilization have always been the mainstream of the Holy Light belief. With the westward migration of the empire, this sincere belief in the hearts of humans has also been brought to the fore. into Kalimdor.

But there has never been a precedent in the history of mankind who took the initiative to distribute the land of holy light to other faiths like the Archbishop of Chaldea! Although the druid belief is also one of the orthodox beliefs in several major belief systems in Azeroth, belief always blinds people, especially for those who live by faith, Chaldea His behavior can undoubtedly be described as leading wolves into the house.

This kind of accusation caused Chaldea's expression to change, his lips moved, as if he wanted to refute something, but in the end, instead of arguing with those angry compatriots, he stood quietly with his hands tied. In front of the Pope, let the angry scolding and contemptuous ridicule fall on him, like a sculpture, turning a deaf ear to everything outside.

This attitude of disdain to argue with him made the other priests even more angry. Of course, it was not just out of anger at Chaldea's betrayal.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and once there are rivers and lakes, there will naturally be disputes. Although the priests claim to dedicate everything to the great holy light, belief itself is also a system that is free from the country. And once this system is formed, there will naturally be a division of power. The Holy See of the Holy Light has its own church organization in each of the countries of the human empire, and each country has an archbishop.

Therefore, even in the peak morale of the human empire, apart from the pope and the cardinal bishops in the entire human civilization, there are only 6 cardinal bishops at the top of the Holy See. This is a position above millions of believers. In a sense, the status of a cardinal is more noble than most of the nobles in the kingdom.

And Chaldea... a mere 30-year-old junior, unexpectedly occupied the position of a cardinal archbishop. How can this make those seniors who have worked so hard to stay in the Holy See all their lives, but are only junior bishops? Are you convinced?

In fact, when humans were still occupying the Eastern Continent, discussions on Chaldea Morgan within the church had never ceased. Many people believed that Chaldea Morgan's position as Archbishop originated from the origin of martyrdom. It was stolen from Archbishop Niditas, so the status of Archbishop Chaldea in the Church of the Holy Light is actually very embarrassing.

The number of colleagues who want to pull him down from the position of archbishop is almost countless, and any of his stains will be magnified without limit, but fortunately, the archbishop of Chaldea is very gentle and abides by the various principles of the church. According to this regulation, his private reputation is almost impeccable, but this time, Chaldea took the initiative to expose one of his own secrets to everyone, and now... the archbishop of Chaldea will be in trouble.

Okay! Be quiet!

However, the other priests in the church had no effect on Chaldea's scolding and accountability. On the contrary, it made the old Pope very dissatisfied. When people are old, they always like to be quiet. No one can avoid this. The slightly angry pope tapped the stick in his hand on the ground, and the low voice echoed in the church, dissipating those vicious curses at this moment.

Priests below the Privy Bishop, get out!

The Privy Bishop in red standing beside the Pope, a sincere priest who has participated in countless wars, and an excellent Paladin Pure Dejek stepped forward and said in a majestic voice:

Apologists, close the church! No one is allowed to approach this place until His Majesty's interrogation is over!

Seeing the pope's anger overflowing, the priests who were extremely angry just now left the church hall obediently, leaving only a few high-ranking archbishops and privy bishops who were qualified to observe, and several recorders.

After the whole hall was finally quiet, His Majesty Faol sighed. He looked at the silent Chaldea in front of him, and said softly:

The world says that you and your status are not worthy of your name, Chaldea Morgan, but only we know how much you have silently paid for the Stormwind Kingdom. The tragedy of Benedictus really makes people feel painful. Whenever I am in After the night falls, I will always recall the years I spent with that poor disciple, I think... the reason why you made this decision is probably related to him, right?

Yes, Your Majesty the Pope.

Chaldea lowered her head and said in a low voice:

Although Benedictus has already left the Kingdom of Stormwind, the poison he left in the Kingdom has passed for so many years, but it has not been completely eliminated. Those heretics who believe in the Old Gods are spreading all over the border areas of the Kingdom of Stormwind. Flooding, on the land where the holy light cannot shine, they are dragging our people into hell bit by bit.

While talking, the Archbishop of Chaldea turned his head to look at a silent female archbishop beside him, and asked softly:

Ms. Partress, is the situation in the Kingdom of Stormgard stable? Have the cultists hiding in Dustwallow Marsh been cleaned up?

And Archbishop Johannes, are the followers of Gilneas as pure as before?

Private Constantine, I heard that a cultist rebellion broke out in Stormsong Valley in Kul Tiras a few months ago?

The several bishops who were asked by Chaldea were silent. Obviously, Chaldea was right. The Church of the Holy Light seemed to be prosperous, but as an ancient organization that had existed for 2,800 years, its internal system had already Serious corruption has occurred, and the entire bloated Church of the Holy Light has been extremely slow in responding to the sudden disturbances of the heretics over the years.

With the discovery of more dark secrets of the Old Gods, everyone.

The Archbishop of Chaldea subconsciously stroked the purple ritual dagger at his waist, and he whispered:

Not only our soldiers and kings, but we ourselves are facing a challenge. Faith from the dark is trying to divide and tear us apart. In this case, relying on ourselves alone, it is not from the clamor at all. Evil opponents, after all...the world is big besides the world of the Holy Light...

The Druid beliefs of the elves and the moon god beliefs, the shaman beliefs of the orcs and dwarves, and even the technological beliefs of the gnomes, these are the righteous beliefs that we have identified after a long discussion. Since they are both righteous beliefs, then in the face of Why can't we stand together when the dark forces are sweeping everything? Can just relying on stupid sectarianism help us win this war?

Chaldea's voice became sharper, he looked at the Pope, and he took a deep breath:

Of course, Your Majesty, there is another reason why I allow the Druids of the Blightcaller to enter the four southern counties of the Kingdom of Stormwind... The land of Kalimdor, the human empire, is too barren. Our people It takes several times of effort to harvest less food than before, and this barren land has seriously affected the recovery of the human empire.

And the Druids of the Blightcaller hold the secret art of the fertile land in their hands. I have seen with my own eyes that they used some roots in the barren Silithus Desert to give birth to a delightful oasis. The abilities they have mastered are Our people desperately need it, but is it important what we believe in, or is it more important that our believers can live better lives because of our actions?

Chaldea spread his hands, and he sincerely said to the other bishops:

I can assure you! The activities of the Blightcaller Sect in the Stormwind Kingdom will be closely monitored by the church, and another problem is that we have always wanted to spread the great belief in the Holy Light to the civilizations of other races. But we have repeatedly failed, which proves that there is something wrong with our missionary methods, and now, the successful missionary work of the Blightcaller Sect among the wild boar and tauren groups has given us new revelation.

We should not mechanically apply the teachings of the Holy Light that are suitable for humans to other races...

A confident smile flashed across the face of the Archbishop of Chaldea. He bent down to the Pope and said in a deep voice:

As far as I know, His Majesty the Pope, in the ancient traditional culture of the tauren, they had a clan that believed in the sun god Anshe, called the Sunwalkers, and they claimed that the sacred power they used came from the sun god Gift, but based on my on-the-spot investigation, I can tell you with certainty that the power used by those Tauren is exactly the divine power that comes from the same source as the Holy Light!

And the Blightcaller Sect is trying to preach to this powerful Sunwalker tauren through the special sun-fire demigod Rukhmar, and I have reached an agreement with the High Patriarch of the Blightcaller...we can also Participate in it and recruit those tauren who use the holy light into our church!

My companions, there are high elf paladins in our Church of the Holy Light, so why can't there be Tauren Sunwalkers? Why can't there be orc Holy Light Warriors? Why can't there be wild boar paladins? Why can't there be night elf saints? Where is the walker?

Under the surprised gazes of all the archbishops, Chaldea spread his hands again, and he shouted in a generous voice:

Everyone! Look at us, we are walkers born out of ancient beliefs, but we are facing a new world form, and we must also make changes to adapt to it... Yes! In your eyes, I may Abnormal indeed, I did do something wrong, but I beg you!

Brothers! Give me some time! Give the Stormwind Kingdom Church some time!

Chaldea clenched her fists and said in a pleading tone:

I will finally prove to you...the belief in the Holy Light will not stop at our land, and I will finally prove to you that the great life will also shine in the dark hearts of those alien races!

Please give us some time! The orthodoxy we uphold will not fail in the face of other beliefs, please give our faith some time! Give the Holy Light some confidence! We will do it!

There was silence in the entire church hall, and it was the archbishop of Stormgard, Ms. Partress, who finally broke the silence. She turned the rosary in her hand and whispered:

This is really a crazy idea... But His Majesty Garin has asked me several times to open several small parishes in Dustwallow Marsh to the druids of the Blightcaller, and my king also wants to use the druids' understanding of nature Reformation, to make his country stronger... So, I will support you, Chaldea, if your reformation is successful, then this experience can be extended to other parishes... I don't need it either Don’t bear such a heavy pressure anymore.”

The second speaker was from Kul Tiras Privy Priest Constantine. The balding middle-aged man said softly:

The Drustvar Mountains in Kul Tiras have long been the parish of the Blightcaller, and other areas are also facing the possibility of being eroded by the Druid faith. In fact, His Majesty Drake has suggested several times that we and the Blightcaller Start a conversation to resolve the issue of the twin faith in Kul Tiras...

Archbishop Johannes of Gilneas didn't say anything, but his silence itself was an expression of opinion. After a few minutes of thinking, the old pope sighed. voice said:

Lothar discussed this issue with me many times before he was alive... He also wanted to reform the Church of the Holy Light and make the Holy Light a reliable defense force for the people, but I thought too much at the time, so that I failed Lothar, I failed to do what I promised him...

Now... let me make up for this regret.

Archbishop Chaldea Morgan, in the name of the Pope of the Holy Light, I give you 3 years... Before I am called by the Holy Light, I hope to see the new order you promised... If you succeed Now, it means that the reform of the Holy Light Church will be fully launched, no matter who my successor is, this reform must be completed!

Holy Light protects human civilization...Holy Light will also protect the entire world!

So be it...
