Law of the Dragon

However, this look also revealed a problem, because he realized that there was something wrong with his ring.The ring was still so quaint, heavy and valuable, it didn't seem to be a little different, but as a kind of evil creature, he still saw the clues.

"Xilu?" He tentatively called the ring's name.

The latter did not respond to him as quickly and enthusiastically as usual, but remained lifeless and silent, as if it was really just a ring.

"You were... sealed?" Eros groaned, "When? Why didn't I find out?"

×××

Norman sealed an evil ring. This type of dark creature cannot be purified, because they are not attached, so they have to be sealed.When the young man stretched out his hand, he found that this ring had been strongly sealed, but as time went by, cracks would appear in even the most powerful seal.

He was familiar with that kind of seal, and he simply made up for it, making the ring harmless, not to mention, that child seemed to like that ring quite a bit.

"Lord Norman," a trainee pastor in white came over and said cautiously, "The cardinals are all here, please go over."

Norman nodded, stood up, and asked the attendant to put on a large white shawl for himself. The long hanging hood hung down from his back, reaching his ankles, and the hem of the shawl covered the ground.The white, large shawl without a trace of variegation made his face look a little pale, and his blue eyes looked lighter. He stood up and walked towards the highest conference hall.

Completely different from before, he seemed to have a coldness and composure beyond his age.

The five cardinals in the imperial capital are now in the highest conference hall. They will go back to the first district every year to strengthen their beliefs, and the church in the first district is different from the imperial capital. It is more...serious.There is probably no one who will not leave a deep impression on it. The solemn white, quiet and peaceful, far from the hustle and bustle here, can make people feel as calm as water, and can also make people feel their own insignificance.

In the first district, all the priests and pastors of the church, even the cardinal, knew that there were two people who could not be offended. One was of course the pope, and the other was the "Norman".

Norman seldom leaves his palace. This is the first time he has come to a place other than the first district, and he has come here secretly. Except for the senior officials of the church, no one in the imperial capital—even the first district knows. .

Only two of the five cardinals had met Norman, but even if they had, they couldn't help being a little surprised when Norman walked in.

He... is too young, at the age of eighteen or nineteen years old, he looks not much older than the current king.

In this world, many positions of power can be hereditary regardless of age. For example, the position of a king is inherited by blood, so every king is like a gamble, good or bad; for example, a noble is also inherited by blood Closeness determines the successor, and the church has a position equal to the pope's blood.

Of course, this bloodline is too old and too difficult to find. It has been interrupted several times, and finally revived. For the church, this is so rare!

And the only heir of this bloodline is such a child.A cardinal could not help recalling that the child was only about three or four years old when he first came to the church in the first district. He was dirty and looked like a child in a poor area, just with that kind of eyes—now thinking Still feeling a little shuddering.With that calm and insightful look, it seemed that all the secrets were unfolding before his eyes.

His name... his former name had been forgotten for many years, and in the church he was called "Norman."In the ancient language of the ancient Guangming Church, he means "Son of God".

"Hi everyone," Norman walked in and calmly glanced at the faces of these elders, then sat down in the chief of the conference hall, and said lightly: "I came to the Pope to discuss with the Pope, this time there is one thing To make it official, before I speak, I would like to know about the current king."

One of the cardinals stood up respectfully and made a salute before sitting down and said: "The current king - he is still a child, and he has just succeeded to the throne for more than a year. To be honest, I don't think he is sitting securely enough. His father ——The former king, His Majesty, was a philandering man, and left his own blood in almost every district, so the Duke of Sacre and General Yarrow were busy protecting these blood and choosing a suitable king among them—after all Their inheritance is the same."

It seems that the situation in the palace is not as simple as that in the church, Norman thought, and then asked, "Did the former empress leave no heirs?"

The cardinal answered him with some amusement: "You think, if the king always hangs around in the other five districts, how can he have offspring with the queen in the palace?"

Norman flipped through the documents at hand, raised his head and said, "But the queen doesn't leave no heirs behind, does she?"

"There is a princess." Another cardinal saluted and began to answer Norman's words, "However, she was exiled to the fifth district during her father's reign."

"There is no reason mentioned in the report." Norman put down the document in his hand and said.

"Actually, there is nothing you can't say..." The cardinal replied, "Because the princess... tried to assassinate his father, she was exiled to the Tower of Nothingness in the fifth district. In this way, seven or eight years have passed gone."

"That's it..." Norman nodded, "Then how to decide the right of succession?"

"Blood..." the bishop suddenly remembered something, "There is another item - the king's seal, it is said that their father gave the seal to his favorite son, of course, it is the former king, but the former king After his death, the seal will be in the hands of the current king."

"Yinxi..." Norman nodded, and then a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, everyone, I think you should know that I will not leave the first district for no reason, I must be here for a It came from a... important event. So let me tell you about my situation.

"I got an oracle half a year ago," Norman said leisurely, "It was inconvenient for the oracle to be published for everyone to know, but I hope to get your help, so I must also show my sincerity..."

Having said that, he paused.The oracle has always been known only to him and the Pope, which is one of the reasons why his ancient blood has such a high and stable position in the church.

"The oracle...?" The faces of the bishops present all changed. Only Norman and the Pope knew about the oracle. They didn't expect that they could hear the content of the oracle.Of course, apart from being surprised, there was also a little worry. When the content of the oracle was known to them, Norman would definitely tell what he was going to do in the imperial capital.No matter what it is, it must be a first-class event for them.

I still remember that a few months ago, when the Pope wrote to say that when Norman would come, they had gathered to discuss what would happen, but they couldn't discuss it.Now it seems that if it is something related to the oracle, it is not surprising that Norman will come.

"The oracle said that the current king is a fake." Norman said softly, "He is not the real king."

After his words were uttered, the meeting hall was quiet for a while, and then discussions immediately arose.

Some people said, "Yeah, look at his golden eyes, how do you look at them? How do you look?" Some people said, "When the Duke brought it back, I had doubts. It always felt weird. Could it be that the blood is fake? Some people said, "Although the oracle said so, after all, he showed everyone the seal, and that is absolutely true!"

There are various theories, but no one doubts the authenticity of the oracle, because Norman has the blood of the "Son of God", noble and ancient, and an irreplaceable wealth of the church.

Norman bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly with his knuckles: "Please be quiet, I hope you will listen carefully to what I'm going to say next."

The meeting room quickly fell silent. Although I was shocked by the content of the oracle, the next step was the main event.

"300 years ago, in the battle of the demon gods, people rebuilt their homes from a piece of coke, and the God of Light guided us to control the entire land. The demon gods, the dragon clan, and the dark family, they were once so powerful, but now they have disappeared. Or death, without the support of magic elements, they can only hide, and human beings, we rely on the belief of the God of Light, unite and survive, and continue the civilization.

"But now, both the pope and I have a concern, that is, human beings are afraid of imperial power rather than the god of light. They may make choices that are not conducive to their beliefs, just to get closer to the so-called 'upper class'. They are born because of money and power. Confused, but no longer seek help from the God of Light... Once the power of faith is lost, it will inevitably pay a heavy price."

Norman paused, and found that the faces of these cardinals were more or less guilty, he couldn't help but sighed, and continued: "So, the Pope and I have decided that to bring people's faith back, we must Declare war on the imperial power."

As soon as his words fell, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.

Yes, religion and imperial power have been fighting non-stop since 300 years ago. They are so contradictory, but no one can do without the other. This is the truth that both sides know, and they jointly manage the country.Religion gives people faith and hope, while imperial power gives people fear and guidelines, which are all essential.

"Declaration of war?" A cardinal looked at Norman uncertainly.

There was no discomfort from being questioned on that young face, but a gentle smile: "The god of light must be above the imperial power, and the king must also have faith, isn't it?"

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Norman continued: "Of course, I didn't say openly declare war. Once the secret that the king is a fake king is revealed, the royal family will inevitably fall into chaos again, and the Church of Light..." He suddenly After a pause, he said softly, "It will definitely guide people, including the king."

300 years ago, the Church of Light guided people to fight bloody battles. The God of Light gave him blessings, and miracles came to drive out the darkness and let mankind rule the land.But now, the Guangming Church is in one district, while the imperial power is in charge of five districts including one district, which is unfair.The king obviously did nothing. Their blood is neither strong nor ancient. Over the long years, it has been washed away to nothing. Who knows how noble this blood can be?

"Please help me." Norman stood up and said softly. He walked to the door and gently pushed open the door of the meeting room. "Now, bishops who do not want to participate, please leave."

Leaving means being expelled from the Church of Light. For a believer, what this means is very simple.

So Norman closed the door as a matter of course, and said softly: "Okay, since everyone is willing to stay, let's see what we can do."
