Chapter 107: Flower of Blood and Bone·Past History(1/2)
"The Inner Temple Awakens..., the products of the aristocratic new sarkic succession have all come here. It seems that they have great momentum now. They can take root in the Edici Federation and drag you into the abyss of this human body trade."
.”
Xia Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time couldn't help but murmured in his heart:
"I just don't know if the mind of the warlock in charge of the awakening of the inner palace is normal or abnormal. According to the historical records of the two houses during the Heavenly War and the Thirty Years War, the awakening of the inner palace was the one that was most thoroughly affected.
New Sarkic Faction.”
Most of the known neo-Sarkic sects seem to have originated from some Sarkic nobles (the great Sarkic patriarchs and their heirs during the Sarkic Empire) who were influenced by the original Sarkic Solomonites.
In this land, there are always some people who take the initiative to find them because of various reasons such as worshiping devils and being fond of witchcraft. Most of these people are the noble nobles of the old era.
The Sarkites, who were in need of change, did not refuse contact with these people, and they served as advisors to the lords on alchemy, medicine, astronomy, and supernatural matters.
This situation gradually evolved over time into the "big clan" of Sarkicism.
Wealthy families practiced their own version of Sarkicism, putting the individual before the collective and adapting it to their needs to serve themselves, and they began to intermarry.
The interesting thing is that in the Middle Ages of Terra, this new Sarkic religion spread through marriages in Youyang.
Once a foothold is established, the big clan will begin to incest.
This is especially true for the royal family in the central feudal period. The royal family and the nobility attach great importance to the purity of blood and believe that incest marriage can maintain the noble blood and legitimacy of the family and enhance the legitimacy of rule.
The new sarkic faction of the big family has a creedal understanding of the sarkic motto - "Desire is the measure of all things, do not be bound by the reins of morality; do what you want, do to the people you want."
Original taste.
Moreover, in order to maintain and consolidate power and property, the royal family and nobles often choose to marry close relatives.
In this way, the outflow of royal assets and power can be prevented, ensuring centralized control of wealth and territory.
For most of the new Sarkans who have become large clans, marriage is a political tool. Through consanguineous marriage, they can consolidate and strengthen the relationship between different royal and aristocratic families, and promote political and military cooperation.
The Awakening of the Inner Temple is the product of the emergence of a large clan. In addition to the religious hierarchy, these new Sarkic clans have another extremely complex class system.
Neo-Sarkic cults place great emphasis on bloodline as a form of genealogy, and the marriages of these secret nobles form the basis of pacts and powerful Sarkic families.
An individual basically joins Sarkicism from birth, and new blood is introduced through careful selection.
In the early days, when the Sarkic Empire collapsed, the Sarkic Cult only took a different form to rule Youyang. They ruled various parts of Youyang based on the original feudal clan established by Ion.
Through the name of Ion, they claimed to be born nobles, and they were the central and orthodox rulers.
At that time, the Kingdom of Heaven also began to show its fangs. In 312, [Emperor Constantine] formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven after winning the Battle of Milvian Bridge with the support of the Heavenly Resolution Assembly, and the Treaty of Union of Milan in 313 was established.
, the Oletin Empire formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven and began a vigorous war to expel aliens.
After many rounds of optimization, the lineage method and the think tank method began to spread rapidly, and began to impact Terra's original extraordinary system.
Then, the first secularization of the Kingdom of Heaven began.
The Templar Church began to stand on the land of Terra and spread rapidly.
Among them, monasteries played an important role in the spread of secularization and cultural education.
They are not only centers of faith, but also centers of preservation and dissemination of knowledge and culture - the main body and authority of the man-made church think tank [Azazel] and the human arsenal [Mastima] are in the monasteries.
Through Azazel, monks can connect with the heavenly lineage and share senses and feelings.
Through [Mostema], monks can mobilize the resources of heaven and eliminate all filth and evil.
Moreover, at that time, the kingdom of heaven handed over the think tank and arsenal to the church, which gave it full autonomy.
The church began to gradually expand extremely. At that time, there was a saying to describe the church like this - "The church is like the sun, and the king is like the moon. The majesty is shown by the light of the church!"
The pope and bishops played an important role in the political affairs of various countries, and the church's wealth and land further consolidated its position.
After being baptized, many barbarian leaders and kings implemented the Holy Church as a national religion.
Moreover, the religion itself and the central nobles controlled by the new Sarkic are at odds with each other. Some of these feudal noble families are also controlled by the Holy Church's Tribunal (a human armed group established in imitation of the core institutions of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Tribunal only listens to the think tank [A
Caesar] and the Pope's command) clean up.
The rule of the new Sarkic clans continued until the end of the Middle Ages when they began to be affected by this impact. At that time, with the rise of centralization, as the country gradually transformed from feudalism to centralization, monarchs weakened the central government by establishing a stronger central government.
The power of local feudal lords.
Then came the loss of control of the Holy Church and the corrective movement in the Kingdom of Heaven.
No one expected that the church would decay so quickly.
They "traded the priesthood" and abused the think tank [Azazel] and the arsenal [Mastema].
The clergy is extremely secularized. Many clergy, including bishops and abbots, live a luxurious life and pursue worldly pleasures, neglecting their religious duties and the program of the kingdom of heaven.
They accumulated wealth, owned large amounts of land and property, and sometimes even participated in political struggles.
Some church personnel hold multiple church positions at the same time (stealing think tank resources) to obtain more income.
Because of holding multiple offices or pursuing secular interests, some church officials often do not serve in the parish or monastery where they were appointed.
This kind of absenteeism makes church management loose, and believers do not receive due pastoral care.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Popes and high-ranking church officials sometimes maintain and expand their power through political manipulation, bribery, and military means.
Some corrupt church members have even begun to try to rub against the bottom line of the kingdom of heaven. They have low moral standards, live dissolute lives, and violate the church's rules of abstinence and celibacy.
For example, some church members openly keep multiple mistresses and even have children out of wedlock. Some have been captured by the "Prince of Joy" and have begun to blatantly violate human supremacy and fund alien restoration movements.
They even got involved with neo-Sarkic people.
At that time, the Kingdom of Heaven was embarking on the Crusade, beginning the mission of purging the heirs of the Sea of Chaos, and fighting against the remaining living gods.
In [The Unknown Land], Eden had discovered that something was wrong with the secular church, so he ordered the Cluny Abbey to launch a reform movement in an attempt to correct the corruption within the church and restore the purity of religious life.
However, the effect of the reform was minimal, and the church with [Azazel] and [Mastima] openly disobeyed Eden's reform instructions.
The church even regards these actions as the localization of the "Utopian Program" in this world. They call this a great revision of the program's main thrust.
The Heavenly Kingdom Resolution Assembly was forced to take time off from the Eastern Expedition to issue corrective demands to the secular church, and stopped revising the so-called keynote of the "Utopia Programme".
It was thought that the church would obey the demands of the resolution meeting, but they only replied with one sentence - "We refuse to obey all unreasonable demands from unknown places."
The furious resolution meeting immediately passed Eden and issued three highest order orders, demanding that the Pope be abolished and that the Church hand over the autonomy of [Azazel] and [Mastima].
The pope defied the supreme decree, and the reforms initiated by the Abbey of Cluny failed.
And due to the negligence of the Templar Church, the Father came to this world, and the gift of the Father called "Black Death" began to spread across Terra, causing everyone to mourn.
Holy Church...
Disrespect Eden!
Disrespecting the utopian program!!
Do not believe in human supremacy!!!
Disobeying the instructions of the resolution meeting!!!!
These four things lead to [the unknown place]...
The angels are furious!!!!
Subsequently,
The first sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven represents the Kingdom of Heaven and comes to Youyang in person.
The Kingdom of Heaven will take back all worldly authority and purge all rebellious people.
The [Spear of Adun] originally used to fight against the gods began to be aimed at the monastery base camp of [Mostema], and the continuous bombardment began to tilt down.
The Holy Church did not sit still and began to rebel against the authority of heaven.
The failure of the religious reform led to the outbreak of the "war in heaven".
Subsequently, the "Thirty Years' War" broke out in Youyang due to the "War in Heaven". It was one of the most destructive and complex wars in Youyang, involving multiple major powers and religious conflicts.
The trigger of the war was Bohemia, and then it spread to Youyang, and also to the royal family that was originally controlled by the new Sarkans. Uprisings occurred one after another in various places.
The Awakening of the Inner Temple was the poor creature affected by the [War in Heaven] and the [Thirty Years' War] at that time.
While Xia Xiu was recalling the relevant information about the awakening of the inner temple, Lisa took over what he had just said.
"Yes, they are powerful and cruel. We were forced to have no choice at first, but then... we couldn't escape."
Xia Xiu stared at her tightly, as if he wanted to see through her soul.
"So, now can you tell me how the Inner Temple Awakening operates this trade line? What is their operating model?"
Lisa took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and began to describe everything she knew in detail.
"The Awakening of the Inner Temple has established multiple secret strongholds in the Edici Federation. They obtain human organs through various means, including kidnapping, trading and deception. There is a dedicated person in charge of every link to ensure that every transaction can be completed smoothly.
"
Xia Xiu's eyes were cold and his tone was unquestionable, "Continue, what are the details of their operating mode?"
Lisa's voice was trembling, but she knew she had no way out.
"They have agents in various cities. These agents are responsible for finding suitable targets, and then using various means to bring these targets to secret strongholds for processing. The processed organs will be traded through underground networks and eventually flow into the black market."
Xia Xiu frowned, pointed to somewhere in the factory and said, "It's like that."
