It's such a trick that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, I really want to meet this player, what number will it be?
Chapter 323 The Church Showdown
Boom!
There was a loud noise in the French capital in the early morning, even Ai Hayasaka, who was struggling to approve official documents in the Palace of Versailles, could hear it from afar. When she looked up, she saw a black mushroom cloud reflected on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows!
"It's okay! Who made trouble!"
Ai Hayasaka was shocked. From her position as the first ruler of France, this is quite important news.
To put it bluntly, the lethality of terrorist attacks is really limited. If you remove the level of 911 and the like, most of them are actually small troubles.But why is the official "overreacting" to this, because it involves the concept of "legality of responsibility".That is to say, the official is obliged to protect order and provide security. Security is the lowest point of Maslov's hierarchy of needs and the root of legitimacy.
You can’t protect Causeway Bay anymore, why are you still the boss, if there are too many such things, someone might take the opportunity to pull you down, so there must be no compromise.
"Treating scumbags will never be tolerated. Even if you meet a terrorist in the toilet, you will drown him in the toilet!"
Joan of Arc quickly put on her military uniform, leaned on her sword at her waist, and kicked open the window on the fifth floor!
She didn't want to release the "Red Lotus Saintess" treasure immediately, and the majestic flames turned into propulsion to form wings like wings, leading the girl straight to the sky.Joan of Arc gained the ability to fly by relying on the power of a short burst of flames, and looked down at the entire city of Paris from a high position in the air.
Inherent Skill · Spotting the Enemy!
With a thought, all the turmoil in the city of Paris turned into the most primitive information and flowed into Ai Hayasaka's mind.If intuition is a passive intuition, then finding the enemy is to actively spread out a huge range of perception, just like building a sky eye system.
Joan could clearly sense that two powerful targets, a white-haired man and a black-haired little girl, were leaving quickly, and they immediately used magic power to block the perception.
Don't chase after the poor, let's talk about it later.
Another location, the Bastille!
The crimson phoenix flapped its wings and rolled up a storm, drawing a fiery red flight path in the blue sky, bursting out with a rumbling sonic boom and heading straight for the target. Even a modern fighter jet could not catch up with this speed!
Cardinal Martin watched Joan of Arc's grand approach, like a meteorite landing on the ruins of Bastille!
There was a bang, the ground trembled a few times, and the top masonry melted under the high temperature evaporation.The figure of the blond girl stepped out of the flames, showing her imposing manner and sharp edge.Not only that, a sense of oppression descended from the sky, as if a big hand grabbed the lungs and made people unable to breathe. This aura might not even be suppressed by Pope Pius VII.There were several church members present who couldn't help shaking!
The first ruler of the French Republic, Jeanne Darcé, was not a civil servant who played with words. She was a military genius who raised troops in Orleans to repel Britain's elite, and was honed from the battlefield.Although the time to reach the peak of power is still very short, Joan of Arc must be among the best leaders in French history.
The mountains are right in front of you, how can an ordinary person not be shaken!
As the breeze blew, the flame dissipated within a short distance, and the pressure disappeared like a dream, but it was always engraved in the depths of the soul.
Joan laughed and said, "Isn't this Bishop Martin! Why come to the Bastille when you have time?"
Martin's throat tightened. He knew that Hayasaka had a tendency to hide a knife in his smile. If he couldn't handle it well, the Church's position would be very embarrassing.Although backed by the Christian faith, Martin does not want to compete with the prestigious Joan of Arc.
"Gui'an, Your Excellency the Consul." Martin bowed and saluted. "It's the Assassin's Creed organization that is active nearby, and the church has the responsibility to maintain order, so it's here to encircle the enemy..."
"Where is the enemy?"
"I'm very sorry, they ran away!"
The blond girl looked embarrassed and shook her head, "Your side has seriously disturbed the people, but you haven't given an explanation. This makes it very difficult for me."
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Martin knew he was in the wrong, and had no choice but to sacrifice his interests to appease a beast.
Hayasaka Ai didn't believe the lies of the branch church that seemed to be at odds with France in terms of standpoint. She would investigate what happened in the Bastille by herself.
Importantly, it's time to rip off.
"You also know what the code is actively promoting. I hope the church can complete the property transfer as soon as possible. Otherwise, things like today will happen again. It is the uncoordinated cooperation between France and the church departments that allows Assassin's Creed to take advantage of it." Zhen De said quietly.
"We'll do it as soon as possible."
After the dry sentence, the two stopped talking.
Martin ponders with anxiety the loss of the Holy Grail, and the possible actions of the Vatican against the French Diocese...
Hayasaka Ai was inspecting the scene, and she caught the trace of the Holy Grail and had a faint guess in her heart.On the other hand, Ai Hayasaka also knows that many stubborn opposition forces have already connected with the church, and how to uproot them will be a topic...
Hurala!
While the two were silent, a large group of knights surrounded the ruins of the Bastille.
The leader gave a solemn military salute, "Your Excellency the Consul, we will come as soon as we notice any movement!"
"Very good, your response was very timely." Jeanne nodded. "Well, the people in the church know about this matter. You go to the church with them, and you must work together to investigate this matter."
"As ordered!"
Cooperate in the investigation, and don't know who is being investigated!Martin secretly thought that Joan of Arc was really treacherous.
"Having said that, there are recent rumors that the Pope is considering withdrawing from religious affairs in France. What should you do then? Bishop Martin."
The blond girl suddenly asked in a low voice.
"what do you think?"
"You are a Gaul, France will always be your home, and your motherland will always welcome you."
Martin smiled, the wrinkles on his face showing signs of age.
"Your Excellency the Consul, you are a leader with great talents in governing the country. From the defense of Paris to the counterattack, and now to fully restore the order in France. People in this era are fortunate to live in peace and prosperity, which is enviable..."
"When I was young, during the time of Louis XV, conscription and war, extortionate taxes, and plundering of the people's anointing. The business owners oppressed, and the big nobles collected rents. Does this country have a place for an orphan? He has no chance to be educated and is not worthy to go As an apprentice, he will starve to death..."
"Until the church helps orphans, as long as you believe in God, you will have bread to eat, a house to live in, and delicious food in the singing of prayers before meals. The king does not regard me as a human being, but in the church I am still a human being."
The words are clear, the simplest truth, even a generation of heroes cannot change the damage done by the predecessors.
Hayasaka Ai nodded.
"I have also been poor, and I have experienced the feeling of being too hungry to walk, and I can understand."
"There is nothing I can do about the tragedies that have already happened, and my duty is to prevent such tragedies from happening again, so that any obstacles that dare to stand in the way will no longer exist."
The talkers in the French military and political circles, and the talkers in the religious circles had a showdown with each other at this moment.
Chapter 324 The Spear of Longinus
Ai Hayasaka said lightly, "In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, I would rather let the people who have suffered the tragedy disappear completely, so as to make way for a bright future."
The traverser thinks this sentence sucks, because the pathfinder will definitely not include the person who spoke.
However, the big thing to say is that there must be no less.
Not even daring to say it out yet still harboring lofty ambitions, that's called the second disease of middle school.But if you say it boldly, you are the second disease in the eyes of others, and you are an idealist in your own eyes.Many realities used to originate from a seemingly impossible ideal.
The cardinal took a deep breath, he could feel the strong will conveyed in Joan's words, sweeping all directions.
He smiled with relief, "I'm not a person who forgets my origins. An orphan named Martin has been living in France since he became a priest. He never went to Jerusalem or the Vatican. He spent 50 years giving back to this land, hoping to persuade others to Good. Of course, I also admit that it would be better if I could climb up by the way."
"That's it, it's been 50 years. I have waited for a person named Jeanne Darc. I am very relieved to have you in France."
"So, I will try my best to apply to the Pope for the autonomous status of the French Diocese."
The big deal is sacrificing the promotion path, anyway, he is old.
Jeanne smiled, "Thank you then."
Although Ai Hayasaka didn't think that the Pope would recognize Joan of Arc who had the "miracle of Jesus", but it would be great if it could end peacefully.Among them, Martin, a cardinal's statement is also very important.
Although he sits on the side of the Holy See, he still has a patriotic heart. Joan needs Martin to temporarily exist as a vacillating fence-sitter.
Otherwise, once the time to test him comes, he will definitely stand by the Holy See and become an enemy without hesitation.
"Your Excellency the Consul, leave this to me."
"Well, I'll go back."
Joan waved her hand, and activated her Noble Phantasm ability to return to the Palace of Versailles.
After placating everyone and covering up the world of the Bastille, Joan returned to the office alone, and sat lazily on a chair.
When her mind was empty, Hayasaka Ai began to concentrate, and she carefully deduced the possible actions of the Holy See...
Even after experiencing the religious reform and a series of baptisms of ideological emancipation in the 18th century, the prestige of the Holy See is still immeasurable.The so-called church is a very useful stick of public opinion, and even the status of the capital of Europa Continent is the commanding height of influence.
The secularization of religion is the only way for France, Joan of Arc will not give in, and she also needs to continue to use the banner of "Jesus" for convenience.The problem is that the Holy See is not happy, they can't afford to lose the financial revenue of the French diocese, and they don't want to admit that a village girl has the title of "saint".
Come on, no more deduction.
The conflict between France and the Holy See is irreconcilable, and there must be a war.
If there are forces trying to stifle the country's right to development, the only way to do it is to kill it!
Joan of Arc's blue pupils showed a cold light as if hiding a sharp sword, which only made the cabinet secretary's young lady shudder.
Every time the consul has this serious expression, it means that someone is going to be unlucky.
"Send Gildera to meet me."
"Here's the message."
After a while, a black-haired young man in silver armor entered the office aggressively. As the Marshal of France, Guildrey always travels in military uniform, and his character is meticulous.
As soon as he saw the blond girl, Gildrey saluted respectfully, "Lord Jeanne, my subordinates are on standby at any time."
"Gill, Cardinal Martin intends to apply to the Pope for the autonomous status of the French Diocese, so the Vatican must make a statement anyway. If they release a negative signal, you will directly lead troops to occupy the Paris Cathedral and forcibly confiscate their property."
"What if you encounter resistance?"
"You will not accept the fate of the king, and everything is up to you to decide on the spot." Halfway through the speech, Hayasaka Ai's tone suddenly became dark, "And, I will never admit in public that the subsequent things have been authorized by me."
"clear."
Gildrey's voice didn't waver in the slightest, it was as powerful as ever.
He is Joan's most important subordinate, even if he is asked to slaughter the monastery, he will not blink.The identity of a soldier is an objective standpoint of Gildre.The admiration for Joan is his unwavering loyalty, so Gildre is the most suitable person for this matter.
Ai Hayasaka judged that the Holy See is likely to take measures to reduce dimensionality at the level of public opinion, such as "expelling all citizens of France" and "initiating a crusade".
With one order, Guildray's army will enter the Paris Cathedral to wipe out the rebels, leaving no one behind.
"By the way, I heard that the cardinal is still a bit strong, and Martin has Longinus, the gun that slaughtered the saints, which is a big threat."
"Yes." The marshal nodded, "Even the gun of Longinus has just arrived, and it has been stored in the Vatican before."
"How powerful is it?"
"According to legend, this treasure is a myth that has been passed down for 2000 years. It has the power to suppress the entire history of mankind. Once it is activated, it can spread divine punishment across timelines. I don't know if this statement is true or not, but the Holy Spear is worthy of the name. He can launch an instant-death attack on the premise of knowing the target's real name, and it is a must. Once the Noble Phantasm is activated, it will bring death. Martin is the only person in the contemporary era who can drive the spear of Longinus except the Pope. suitable."
