Knight's Guide to Anti-Wolf [Western Fantasy]

On the second day, Ansu had already seen the methods of the church.

As Mireia's temporary attendant, he was able to enter the temple that he had only been able to enter when he was promoted to a paladin.

This temple is located on the top of a high mountain outside the imperial capital, and the straight steps connecting it to the bottom of the mountain are aligned with the central axis of the rising sun. .

Legend has it that this is the blessed land of the gods. Every handful of his soil can keep people away from diseases, and every piece of his gauntlet can heal pain, but Mireya said in private that in order to achieve this effect, he usually There are more than ten third-level priests on duty around, ensuring that everyone who does this can achieve the desired effect.

Of course, the civilians who came here were selected and selected to ensure that every fanatic would vigorously promote the magic of the temple and lead others to be more devout.

Walking up thousands of steps, Ansu gradually approached the huge temple.

At the end of the square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, there are hundreds of steps of white as bright stairs, and a huge and magnificent church stands silently on it. Spires, pilasters, flower window lattices, flying buttresses, every detail is exquisite. It is completely intoxicating. Inside each pointed arch, there are lifelike statues, each of which is different, but extremely harmonious, serious, holy, noble... All beautiful words seem to be placed on it.

Ansu compared the skyscrapers of the later generations together. They may not be as tall as those buildings, but when it comes to grandeur and majesty, they are left far away.

"Milea, I heard that you have been actively running for the next pope?" Ansu asked curiously as he walked.

The Church of Light is headed by the Pope, and has seven red-clothed archbishops in charge of the six dioceses. There are also five knight orders with different combat attributes, the seven archbishops and the five chiefs. In addition, the Pope himself is the prestigious Council of Radiance, 13 people Each person has one vote to elect the next pope in the election every 30 years.

Miriam is one of the 13 head of the Knights Templar who is second only to the Pope.

"Yes." Miriah replied casually. He really wanted to know what would happen if he really became Pope in his capacity.

"Why do I always have the feeling that you are playing a big game of chess?"

"It's not wrong. Don't talk when you go in later." Miriah walked into the church with him, whispering.

"Okay, but I still don't understand why you brought me here."

"There is nothing wrong with seeing more things and gaining knowledge."

Then Miriah sat in one of the thirteen seats in the hall with a cold and sacred appearance and a formal attire.

In a few minutes, more or less, all kinds of characters came.

There was only a cloud of shadow floating on the seat.

"That's the Shadow Priest of the Tribunal." Miriam told him.

There are large cans with the whole body in the iron sheet.

"That's the head of the Holy Shield Knights."

There is a slovenly old man who looks like a beggar on the street.

"That's the leader of the Penance Knights."

There is a soft and lovely blond loli with twin ponytails.

"The leader of the Holy Order, don't underestimate her, she is the woman who is most likely to break through the holy order."

There are spherical humans of roughly the same width and height.

"That's the archbishop of the central diocese, but he's a little fat."

……

When twelve seats were filled, a noble elder wearing a crown walked in gracefully with a cloak tail several meters long carried by two angelic girls.

Ansu looked around again, and felt that Miriam was the most normal-looking man among them.

Then the Pope began to pray, and the others finally got down to business after finishing their daily routine together.

First, let one person ask euphemistically why they were recruited from all over the world. Do you know that I have millions of dollars per minute, and time is money?

Only then did the Pope ask the attendants to take out several beautiful silver boxes and distribute them one by one: "This is a sacred object obtained by the Knight Commander Surien."

"Holy thing?" The blond loli blinked her eyes, and took out a finger-sized yellow-white thing from the box, "I don't read much, so don't lie to me."

Ansu frowned, this was obviously the soap he showed Miriah that day.

"What if this thing suppressed the plague in the southwest province?" the pope asked.

"Holy object!" The remaining dozen or so people said firmly, and instantly agreed unanimously.

"Very good, champion knight Ansu, Heragalan was guided by the holy light in his dream, and the gods gave him a way to save the world. This holy gift will be our salvation." The pope's expression was serious and holy, " I decided to name him 'Holy'!"

"Then how much is the holy raw material, how to make it, how long does it take, and what is the effect?" Tin Can asked.

"It's up to Your Excellency Surien to explain it to us." The pope looked at Miriam.

Miriam looked at Ansu.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on him.

"Ten parts of plant ash, three parts of water, three parts of mixed oil, heat and cook for one hour. Let it stand for one night and it will take shape." An Su said calmly, "Using it regularly can reduce the infection rate by half."

In fact, it was reduced by more than 80%. However, Ansu felt that the current hygiene situation of the people should be compromised, so the export was reduced by half.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw satisfied expressions in the eyes of others. If they didn't lie, then this is an excellent thing.

Thinking of this, all kinds of eyes lingered between him and Miriam, and then turned away one after another.

"How much do you think the price is appropriate?" The round ball whose hands, feet and facial features were crowded with fat was the first to speak.

"How about 100 gold?" Big Lolita asked.

"This is a very important bargaining chip. Don't sell it lightly. We can have higher requirements."

"A new atonement material?"

Ansu frowned, and asked in a low voice to Mireya, who had been silent all this time: "If I expand on a large scale, what are they going to do, open a chain store?"

"Don't worry, there will be large-scale imitations soon. The nobles will not easily put their lives in the hands of others." Miriam whispered, "They just want to exchange for the greatest benefit."

……

On the way back, Ansu was very silent.

"At present, the mountain people and grassland people have been besieged by the two major armies of the empire. Their behavior of spreading the plague has aroused public anger. The plague that has begun to spread in the interior is far beyond the control of the Holy See. Take this as the last straw, the crowded flow of people surrounded them impenetrably, and the maintenance of law and order alone has already exhausted most of the manpower of the Holy See." As he walked, Miriam told him the latest military situation.

Ansu nodded, but he was not very interested, just listening lazily.

"What you just saw is what the light won't tell you." Miriam took his hand, "The brighter the light, the thicker the shadow."

"Will you become like this too?" Ansu looked up at him.

Miriah chuckled: "I am like this. Also, don't think they are cruel, this is the fastest way."

"why?"

"Do you think the church is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? No, there are only superficial believers or even hypocrites in many places. Ordinary people are ignorant and cunning, and they only believe what they want to believe. Giving them directly will make them think it is fake. No You will believe that a piece of ointment can ward off diseases," Miriam said with a smile, "but if you hide and create the illusion that only a few nobles can use it, you will soon feel the power."

"You seem to be very skilled..."

"Back then, I was the sales king of those students who bought the atonement talisman. How could I get zero points in this practice class like you." Mireya said proudly.

"Enough of the voyeurs, don't think everyone is as crazy as you." An Su angrily felt that there was no privacy in this world.

"I am your guardian. Of course, I will check your studies until you reach adulthood."

"You are such a person, I actually believe that you will uphold justice and represent justice..."

"Evil is despicable, cruel, weird and cunning. Since justice can't be cruel, it has to be smarter. For example, someone accidentally fell for it last night..."

An Su fell silent suddenly, and walked away silently alone.

Miriam looked at his back, for some reason, suddenly wanted to hug him.

The author has something to say:

Thank you for the small theater written by Herbal Tea:

"Soap is a small thing in itself, but it causes much more than that"

——Ansu blinked her planetary eyes, "Honey~This is the soap I invented~Catch it~"

——Paji, the soap fell to the ground in a swirling motion

——Ansu blinked her starry eyes: "Honey~ I'll pick up soap for you~~~~~~"

——Milea: "..."

Ansu said with a serious face, "It's just an examination that should be done. You can't resist Miriam. If you have any physical problems, you should find out and solve them in time, especially problems in this area. They are related to your happiness." XX, with a more serious expression, "It's more related to my happiness."

Miriam: "..."
