Chapter 282 [The Legacy of History]

The other party was defeated and lost. A magician, in front of Queen Medusa, didn't even persist in a face-to-face meeting, and was instantly killed. The rest of these people were killed or injured, the most important thing is that the leading seventh-level knight Ge Peide was also seriously injured, and the rest of the boats retreated one after another.

Du Wei didn't order the pursuit, and Maximus didn't seem to ask Du Wei to order the pursuit, so he let the other side escape, and they fled away in embarrassment.

And Maximos even put forward a strange request to Du Wei: put back the two captured victims.

The archdeacon of Ramsay seemed a little dissatisfied. After returning to the cabin, he couldn't help complaining to Maximus: My bishop...why are you still so kind? Didn't you see that they have decided to Put you to death! Sigh... Even if, even if you don’t want to cause too many killings, don’t want to kill more.   But at least a few people were caught just now, we can take them to the imperial capital, and then confront His Majesty the Pope.   At that time, Those guys who are doing something wrong feel that they can’t pay their bills. ”

Maximus listened, just smiled slightly, and then patted Ramsay on the shoulder: My old friend, things are not that simple. 

Then he didn't explain much, but looked at Du Wei: Grand Duke Tulip, I really made you laugh today, and let you see some ugliness in the temple. But please believe that these are just a few bad people. Most of the clergy are still bathed in the light of the gods and are pure. ”

Du Wei smiled nonchalantly: I don't really care about these things.   It's just that I am more inclined to the position of Vicar Rams. Why should those few survivors be let go?

Maximus' expression darkened, and then he looked at Lao Yan and others behind Du Wei.  Du Wei understood immediately. Let Lao Yan wait for the guards to retreat, and ask someone to rearrange some tea.

outside on the deck. Naturally there were sailors and guards cleaning the battlefield, and that Rhine showed a strength that surprised Du Wei. Du Wei liked this fierce general more and more, and ordered to find a new set of knight armor from the cabin as a reward. Give it to this guy, and smiled at Rhine: Rhenish Knight, I admire your bravery very much.   In order to express my friendship, I want to give you a gift.   Well, I see the weapon you use, that big ax , although it is sharp, it was broken just now, and to be honest, I personally think that your martial skills are not suitable for using this kind of thing.  I want to give you a weapon, so that it will be more convenient for you to fight in the future.  

Rhine was also very happy when he heard that, but then he scratched his hair in distress: My lord, but... I have tried many weapons, and they are all too light.   This ax... Sigh. It’s barely used, if the weight can be doubled, it will be almost enough. ”

Du Wei smiled: You may not know, I have a shop in the imperial capital, specializing in the manufacture of some special weapons, if you want, after returning to the imperial capital, where you can go to see, I promise to give you Prepare one thing you like. ”

Afterwards, Rhine also left. Only Du Wei and the two bishops were left in the room.

Master Maximus.   Now, I think we need to have a good talk.   Du Wei's expression turned serious. I sat down calmly: Personally, I don't want to participate in the internal disputes of the temple, but even if I want to hide now, it's too late, right? So, since I have already entered the game, I think I Those who have the right to know. ”

Maximus had no expression on his face. After pondering for a while, he glanced at Ramsay. Ramsay understood, nodded, and said, My lord, how much do you know about the history of the Temple of Light?

History? Du Wei frowned and thought for a while: I think I still know a little bit, but what I know is mostly from history books—but, I think, it might as well be honest, I always think that history books It is not very reliable. People who write history books will inevitably tell some lies in the book in order to beautify history.  After a pause, he and the two bishops met each other's eyes, and the three of them smiled knowingly at the same time. Du Weicai Continued: Well, the history of the temple, I know it should be a long time, but there are official records, it should be from the founding of the Roland Empire 961 years ago. When mentioning Aragorn, Du Wei said 'great' in his mouth, but couldn't help scolding 'bastard' in his heart) In the process of unifying the continent and establishing the Roland Empire, he received a lot of help from the Church of Light, and as In return, after the founding of the country, His Majesty the Founding Emperor recognized the Illumination Religion as the only state religion of the empire, and also the only legal religion.   It was also at that time that the Illuminati Church gained legal orthodoxy.   That was the same year that the Roland Empire was established , the organization of the Temple of Light was formally established, and its headquarters was established in the imperial capital.  Before that, although the Church of Light had always existed...But with all due respect, before the reunification of the mainland, the Church of Light did not have an orthodox position on the mainland. At that time, There are many small countries on the mainland, and there are still many pagan religions, right?

Ramsay nodded: Your Excellency is very knowledgeable about history, you are right, it is indeed written in the book... It can be said that the Church of Light assisted His Majesty Aragorn in unifying the continent, and Aragorn His Majesty also helped the Church of Light to obtain the only orthodox position on the mainland. ”

This is a win-win result. Du Wei smiled.

For outsiders, it is not easy to know these things. After all, there are many things that are not recorded in the books circulated outside. Ramsay sighed: However, my lord, things are not that simple , if you are interested... I may be able to tell you a few historical stories.  ”

Du Wei laughed: Stories? Very good, my favorite thing is to listen to stories. 

Ramsay coughed. Slowly began to tell:

It is true that the history of the Temple of Light is nine hundred and sixty-one years.   But the church has existed for far longer than this number.   When the specific Church of Light was established is now unavailable.   But Before the Roland Empire unified the mainland, the Church of Light was indeed not the only religion on the mainland. The gods worshiped by many religions are not the Goddess of Light...Oh, may the great gods forgive them. Those poor heretics. Okay , Closer to home. Well...Actually, the Illuminati Church has a long history. When it comes to assisting His Majesty Aragon to unify the mainland, one person has to be mentioned. This person is the first Pope in the history of our Illuminati Church, Misius ※#8226;Lemuya※#8226;His Majesty Badoros. Oh, this name is a bit of a mouthful. However, when future generations mention this great majesty, they will have an intimate title for him, and we all call him 'smart' Mythus' or Mithus the Prophet.

Before the Roland Empire unified the mainland, there were many religions on the mainland, but the largest one was still our Church of Light. Unfortunately... Our Guangming Church is the one with the most believers, but it is not the most powerful one. because. The Church of Light at that time was not united internally, and there were even dangerous signs of division. In the final analysis, it was because everyone believed in the great Goddess of Light. But there are some differences in the understanding of the teachings, and there are also great ambiguities on how to spread the teachings of the Goddess of Light...

Speaking of this, Du Wei secretly laughed: Any differences in understanding of doctrine are all high-sounding words, nothing more than the uneven distribution of interests and power.

At that time, there were three sects within the Illuminati Church, namely the Yeni sect, the Mosa sect, and the Montenegrin sect.  Among them, the Yeni sect advocated cruel methods against heretics.  At the same time, the Yeni sect believed that the power of the church It should be above the king and secular power.   Theocracy is above all else, and the theocracy should be the only ruler in the world.   It advocates the use of force to eliminate all existences that dare to challenge the authority of the church... Well, we think these claims are too cruel.  Mo The Sapai advocates the method of enlightenment and persuasion to spread beliefs. By the way, Maximus and I are both Moshapai. We advocate improving self-cultivation and using the greatness of the goddess’ teachings to influence people, and we advocate The church should remain pure and should not have any intersection with secular power. ”

Hearing this, Du Wei thought to himself: The Yeni faction and the Mossa faction are nothing more than the so-called hawks and doves.

Thinking of this, he asked again: So, what about the Montenegrin School?

The Montenegrin faction was a sect with a relatively small number of people at that time, but his strength was the strongest, because the Montenegro faction was a typical ascetic sect, advocating self-cultivation, not interfering with anything outside, and striving to improve their understanding of the goddess' teachings. I fully understand that I don’t care about outsiders at all.   Therefore, they are also called Ascetics or Hermits. Although these people are small in number, they practice the hardest Magicians are the most powerful.   They generally have nothing to do with the world, as long as they don’t interfere with their own practice, they are unwilling to participate in anything outside—but if someone is against the Church of Light, then It is the only weakness of the Black Mountain faction. If someone dares to threaten the safety of the church, the Black Mountain faction will use its powerful strength to destroy all enemies who dare to challenge the church. So, the Black Mountain faction can also be regarded as the greatest guardian force of the church , but their proposition is not active aggression, but passive defense.  .

Three factions have contended for hundreds of years, but mainly the dispute between the Yenites and the Mosasites, while the Montenegrin faction was mainly in a neutral state.   But about a thousand years ago, the situation changed.   'Wise Mihuus ’ appeared, and his presence changed everything. ”

Du Wei nodded: I probably understand, this Michus, the first Pope His Majesty, his appearance unified the disputes within the church? Then His Majesty Aragon formed an alliance?

It's probably like this. His Majesty Michael is extremely smart. He is powerful in magic and is a natural excellent leader. It is said that he is knowledgeable, friendly, good at persuading others, and has a strong charisma. In his Thanks to his efforts, the three factions within the Church of Light were finally united by him... Of course, or in other words, 'temporarily' united together. With the help of the believers of the Church of Light from all over the mainland, the army of the Roland Empire was invincible. Everywhere they went, they could get great assistance from the Church of Light. Soon, the Roland Empire unified the mainland, and His Majesty Aragorn formally established the empire. Jiamian was the first emperor of the empire, and declared that the Church of Light was the only legal religion on the continent of Roland, and all other religions were evil pagans. ”

Du Wei couldn't help but asked, Then... His Majesty Michus, which sect does he belong to? Is it the Mosas sect, or the Yeni sect? Or the Montenegrin sect?

As soon as this question was raised, Ramsay and Maximus looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.

No one knows.   Maximus, who had been silent all this time, sighed: This is the problem that has caused the internal quarrel in the Temple of Light for more than nine hundred years!

Du Wei was a little surprised: Why?

Because until now, no one has been able to confirm which faction His Majesty Mitheus belongs to. Ramsay also sighed: According to the records, His Majesty Mitheus himself never publicly admitted that he belonged to any faction. People, he keeps silent, and no one else can press him. ”

If the faction of His Majesty Michus can be determined, then I am afraid that there will be no internal disputes in the temple for more than 900 years. In the past 900 years, I don't know how much blood has been shed during the internal fighting... I don't know how many so-called 'heretics' were burnt to death on the stake... oh... Maximus sighed, his expression darkened.

(Today’s update is late, sorry.  Only a few readers who have chatted with me know that, in fact, I have been in poor health recently. I had an inexplicable nosebleed when I was typing a few days ago, and scared my wife to tears... ...I have been suffering from a severe headache this afternoon, and it got better in the evening. I turned on the computer to type...

This is the first chapter, and there is another chapter tonight. I am writing it. I have neglected the judges today, so please forgive me.

Finally, it is still customary to ask for a monthly ticket.
