Chapter 176 [Avengers] (4) Completed today
Panin's tone was very confident.
"The civil strife in the Roland Empire was finally put down. The war in the empire was more than ten years, and the national strength was exhausted, internal and external troubles, and the national strength was almost reduced to the lowest point in history. One of the consequences after the revival of the empire was that since then, the imperial family of the empire has maintained a tradition passed down from generation to generation, that is... hatred of the Church of the Temple of Light!
His Majesty Ferdo is naturally the culprit. However, the church of the Temple of Light year after year is also a major crime. Especially during the war, the empire was in crisis. His Majesty Ferdo, a devout believer, ran to the church for help. He begged the Pope, hoping that the Pope could send the Holy Knights to help the Empire quell the rebellion.
But this emperor, who has been giving preferential treatment to the church on weekdays, never expected that the Pope would refuse the emperor's request without hesitation!
During the entire war, the Holy Knights in the Temple of Light remained motionless, and even some local churches had a secret non-aggression agreement with the rebels! It is recorded that rebels in a certain place invaded and fought with the imperial army. The front of the troops was less than fifty miles away from the local Holy Knights' garrison. The Holy Knights remained motionless and turned a blind eye!
Faced with this situation, the Majesty of Emperor Ferdo, who was originally a fanatical person, was extremely angry and finally died of illness.
During the entire war, the church armed forces with more than 100,000 troops: the Holy Knights, remained silent.
The Church of Light even sat and watched with a happy attitude, even looking forward to someone overturning the royal family of the Roland Empire.
And later, the empire was finally revived, and when His Majesty the Emperor of Zhongxing was suppressed with the support of the patriarch of the Luolin family, the church suddenly came to the door again.
It is said that the Pope at that time almost threatened the emperor to sign a decree: to recognize the legitimacy of all the preferential decrees given to the church during the reign of Emperor Ferdo!
That is to say, the church threatens the emperor and must continue the absurd decrees that condoned the church in His Majesty Ferdo's time.
Moreover, if the royal family does not agree, the church will threaten with war.
Because the war had just ended at that time, the empire had already been exhausted, both military, national and financial resources.
Under helplessness, the emperor had to humiliately agree to many conditions of the church.
Although these humiliating conditions were later abolished little by little with the increasing rejuvenation of the royal family, they affected the empire for hundreds of years. It was not until a hundred years ago when His Highness Duke Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip, was in power, that all the remaining unequal religious decrees were completely abolished."
"Where is that holy crown?" Chen Daolin frowned: "What you said is the holy crown..."
"That holy crown has been kept in the church and is closely monitored and collected." Panning said slowly: "In fact, the greatest wish of the emperor Zhongxing and the patriarch of the Luolin family during their lifetime was to contemplate this absurdity and humiliation of the Roland Empire from the church in their lifetime! The great patriarch of Luolin even once said that his greatest hope was to regain the holy crown and then completely smash it in front of tens of thousands of people on the Triumph Square in the imperial capital.
Unfortunately, the church is very clear about the royal family's hatred for them. As long as the holy crown exists for one day, it symbolizes the royal family's compromise and surrender to the church, so the church has always strictly protected the holy crown.
As far as I know, the royal family once secretly sent masters and magicians to the church to try to steal the holy crown. This happened at least a dozen times, and the royal family lost many people, but they have never been able to achieve their goal.
Among the more than ten failures, among the masters who lost, there were people from the Luolin family.
The Temple of Light has very strict protection for the Holy Crown. They specially built a sacred temple to preserve the sacred crown. The task of guarding the sacred temple was handed over to several great knights of the Holy Knights in turn.
Several great knight commanders of the Holy Knights have always been the top masters in the Temple of Light. Many great knight commanders of all generations have emerged, including many powerful holy-level masters!
And just over three hundred years ago, the holy crown was finally stolen!"
Chen Daolin's heart moved.
He knew: This was Semer's move!
No matter how powerful the guardians in the church’s church are, the masters of the Holy Knights or the powerful saints.
In front of Semer, that's a scumbag!
Who is Semer? That is the clone of the goddess of light! It is a fake version of the goddess!
Thinking of this, Chen Daolin suddenly understood something!
Why did Semer steal the holy crown from the Church of Light!!
Because at that time, Semer had shaken his belief in the goddess, and Semer was already the wife of the patriarch of the Rollin family at that time and had become a member of the Rollin family.
As the wife of the head of the Rowling family, Semer must know that a legacy of the Rowling family that has been passed down from generation to generation is to one day regain the holy crown from the church and the holy crown that symbolizes a humiliation of the Rowling Empire!
As the wife of the head of the Rollin family, since her husband couldn't do it, Semer of course took action on his behalf.
"The church's scriptures only record the stolen crowns, just a few words. But in fact, the stolen crowns were stolen at that time, which caused an uproar in the church." Panning said this, his tone began to become a little bitter:
"There were two people in charge of guarding the Holy Church at that time, one was the duty officer of the Temple of Light, and the other was the head of the Holy Knights at that time.
The Holy Crown was stolen, the Pope was furious, the person who was deprived of his post and then committed suicide. The Holy Knight was even deprived of his clergy and his identity as a Holy Knight, and was expelled from the temple.
The knight once begged the pope not to deprive him of his clergy and holy knighthood, and he was willing to commit suicide and apologize. His only request was to retain the identity of a holy knight when he died.
However, the church ruthlessly rejected him.
The Holy Knight was deprived of all his honors, and even destroyed his sacred fighting spirit and the power of the attributes of divine light, and turned into a useless man and was driven out of the church.
He returned to his hometown, but still refused to give up his faith.
This Holy Knight had a wife, children, and land. He could have lived a good life.
But the knight was unwilling to give up his faith, and he still believed in the teachings of the goddess of light. He felt guilty for his dereliction of duty. In order to atone for his sins, he atoneed sins according to the ancient records in the church books. He turned himself into an ascetic. He dedicated his property and land to the local church, and then atoneed sins according to ancient legends. The clergy in the church told him that as long as he did a thousand good deeds, he could atone for sins and return to God's arms.
The knight left his hometown and traveled around to do good deeds. He spent ten years doing a thousand good deeds and then returned to the church in his hometown. His only request was to be able to re-enter the church, even if he was the lowest-level clergyman.
But the people of the church refused him without hesitation. They told him that his sins were too great, and even a thousand good deeds in ancient times could not redeem his sins.
The knight returned home sadly. Later, a plague hit his hometown. The knight still believed in the doctrine and took out his few remaining property to distribute it to the victims or to purchase medicine to rescue emergency patients.
Unfortunately, however, the knight's wife and son were also infected with the plague in that disaster.
The knight ran to the church and begged the clergy in the church to ask the church pastor to use the light spell to heal his wife and children. He was once a holy knight, and he knew very well that as long as the priest was willing to take action, the light spell healing technique could save his wife and children's lives.
Then, the church once again rejected him.
The church people told him: the church's magic power is given by God, and divine power will not shelter those with great sins."
When he said this, Panin's tone had become loud.
Chen Daolin sighed in his heart and said slowly: "The knight's wife and son..."
"The knight watched his wife and son become seriously ill day by day. After a few days, his wife died in his arms. He was about to go crazy. He ran to the church, knelt outside the church for a day and night, and knocked his head out of the blood, asking the priest to be kind and be able to save his son. As a result, he was knocked out by the church people.
However, when he went back, he found that his son was dead."
"...What happened later?" Chen Daolin swallowed and spitted.
"Later... the knight was completely lost. He buried his wife and son with his own hands, then burned his house with fire, burned all the doctrines and classics in his house, burned the badges of the Holy Knight he treasured... burned his previous life's faith!
He left a foreign land and soon married his wife again, then gave birth to a son and had offspring.
He changed his name and then worked hard to cultivate his children and teach him to practice martial arts. Although his sacred fighting spirit was abolished, he was once one of the knights of the Sacred Knights and was one of the masters on the mainland. Although he was abolished, he could still train his son."
"What's the matter?"
"And then, he trained his son to adulthood, let the child practice martial arts, devoted himself to the military, became an officer of the Roland Empire, and then promoted all the way, finally earned an official position and re-created a family.
And the surname of this family is called Garonin. In the old Roland word, Garonin means: Avengers!"
In fact, after hearing this, Chen Daolin had probably guessed the end of the story, but at the end, he still sighed.
