Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Six The Chaotic Church
A murderous crime occurred just over ten miles away from Borelli. A large group of clergymen were killed in public. Then the attackers actually set fire to the bodies of the slain clergymen and then escaped without a trace.
.
The case was quickly reported to the Gallic Empire by the fleeing businessmen, and then both the Gallic Empire and the Church heard the news and quickly sent a large team of people to investigate. This time the emperor did not refuse the people of the Church and directly used the teleportation circle to come to Borelli.
Because the emperor vaguely felt that this was a huge trouble!
Because someone was holding an official document from the Imperial Ministry of Justice to set up a checkpoint there to arrest criminals. If this checkpoint had not blocked the way of the church brigade, the six distinguished Archbishops of the Holy Church would not have gone to the roadside inn to rest. If they had not gone to the inn to rest,
They would not be plotted and assassinated.
Six high-ranking Archbishops of the Holy Temple, three of whom were senior Holy Land magnates, were actually killed outside the city of Bereli! If this matter is really related to the Gallic Empire, the religious war is
Inevitable! And other countries on the continent will definitely not help the Gallic Empire this time, because they have already received enough benefits, and this time it is the Gallic Empire that actively provokes the Church. Those countries will definitely not help the Gallic Empire.
Empire versus Church.
Even the emperor can imagine the faces of those empires when they add insult to injury! These guys will never give up any opportunity to take advantage. The church is indeed rich, and it is refreshing to take advantage of the church, but from the top power of the mainland,
It would be a great and pleasing thing to do something good for Lu Empire!
So half an hour after the emperor received the information, the second group of envoys from the church arrived at Burai Likou. It was not until the emperor gathered the second group of personnel sent by the church that he came to the scene of the case with a huge group of people.
Location. At this time, the dragoons and bronze hats of the Gallic Empire had scattered the scout cavalry for two to three hundred miles, but they did not get any useful information and they did not encounter any suspicious people at all.
Standing in front of that simple checkpoint, the emperor's expression was extremely strange.
He pointed at the arrow tower that had basically no defense, and looked at the Archbishop of the Holy Church, Seattle, who was standing next to him with a strange look: "Dear Archbishop Seattle, sent by the three popes to jointly investigate the murder of the Holy Glory Cathedral.
The clergy stopped because of such a crude barrier?"
The archbishop of Seattle, who had pale hair and beard and looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old, looked as ugly as if he had just eaten several kilograms of dog shit. He glanced at the emperor with drooped eyelids and suddenly sneered: "We respect the laws of the Gallic Empire.
,So, I think the six distinguished Archbishops of the Holy Church did not use the privileges of the church to force their way through! You know, this is a sensitive period!"
The emperor nodded with deep understanding.
Isn't it? Isn't this a sensitive period? The countries in the mainland have just chopped off a piece of flesh from the church. The church is holding back its anger, and the Gallic Empire is also wary of the church. If the church's envoys are in the Gallic Empire,
If you act arrogantly and domineeringly, there may be some disputes. At least until this crisis is completely calmed down, the empire and the church do not want any more big troubles.
Therefore, the six Holy Temple Archbishops stopped because of this simple checkpoint. It has to be said that Blackbeard or some people around him have extremely accurate calculations about people's hearts. The three hundred church envoys,
So I fell headlong into a trap.
Seattle glanced at the emperor and then gently tapped the official document from the Ministry of Justice hanging on the checkpoint: "I don't think this matter has anything to do with the Loud Voice Empire, but your Majesty, please explain the origin of this official document!
"
The emperor glanced at the official document and then came closer to examine it carefully for a while. Then he shook his head vigorously.
"The official document is forged. The blank official document used is a special document for the Ministry of Justice with watermarks and secret marks specially printed by the Empire. The handwriting is indeed the handwriting of the Minister of Justice of the Empire. However, the handwriting can be forged but the writing habits of the Minister of Justice cannot be forged!"
The emperor sneered with a gloomy face: "I will give the church an explanation. There are indeed internal personnel from the Ministry of Justice involved in this matter. They have desecrated the majesty of the empire's laws! They..."
Looking helplessly at Seattle, the emperor smiled bitterly and said: "Arujan, my Minister of Justice, when he issues an order, all the vowels and his notes will be converted from cursive to printed, and
He will leave a small tail hook on every period. And on this official document, all the cursive characters are in cursive characters!"
Seattle looked at the emperor: "An official in the Gallic Empire's Ministry of Justice forged the personal order of the Minister of Justice!"
The emperor looked at Seattle: "I will capture him and let the church send him to the stake!"
Seattle nodded. He knew that the emperor would not lie, because the Gallic Empire had already received the greatest benefits. There was no need for him to risk the anger of the church again and assassinate the six distinguished archbishops of the Holy Temple. The three popes in the Papal Hall
If they don’t believe this, and no one in the entire church believes that the emperor would be so stupid, the only possibility, and what everyone on the Holy Mountain is most worried about, is...
Civil unrest!
The murder in the Holy Glory Cathedral may have been caused by certain forces within the church expressing dissatisfaction with the insistent actions of the Temple of Punishment, so they put a huge black pot on the head of Archbishop Alpha. Therefore, the Apostolic Office sent six saints directly under the Pope.
It is up to them to investigate the truth of the matter. They secretly massacred clergy members who were fellow believers. This is something that the church's senior leaders cannot tolerate.
But the six Archbishops of the Holy Cathedral turned into dead people before they reached the Holy Glory Cathedral. Who did this?
If someone within the church did it, then who? Who has such courage? Who has such strength? Who benefits from this? What do they want to do? Are they plotting something against the Pope? Three of them
The pope represents the interests of the three major factions within the church, but in addition to these three major factions, the major temples of the church all have extremely powerful potential forces. If they planned this assassination, what exactly did they want to do?
That's why Seattle was so easy to talk to. He believed the emperor's explanation.
Several clergymen rushed over. They were the ones who went to the fire scene to inspect the remains of the burned corpses.
A cardinal handed a leg bone to Seattle with a serious face, and Seattle's expression suddenly changed after receiving the leg bone. He brought the blackened and deformed leg bone in front of him.
He sniffed it carefully, then bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on his leg bone.
A faint golden glow floated on the black bones. It was very light, very light and full of sacred and inviolable majesty.
"Sir!" The cardinal lowered his voice: "All the corpses were burned, and only some bones were saved by luck. It is impossible to tell what weapons they were killed by, but the remaining divine power on these bones...is better than what I have cultivated.
The divine power is much purer."
Naturally, only people in the church can cultivate divine power. The purer and more condensed the divine power is, the more powerful it is.
The cardinal is already a high-level being in the church. The only people whose divine power is purer than that of the Holy Church are the Archbishop of the Holy Church and the Cardinal Red Crowned Archbishop whose status is comparable to that of the Great Holy Church!
But when Seattle looked at this leg bone, his expression became extremely tangled.
The cardinal only knew that the remaining divine power on this leg bone was purer than his own. But only Seattle knew that the divine power he had cultivated and purified for hundreds of years was not as pure as the divine power in front of him. This divine power
It was even filled with a touch of vitality and a breath of wisdom, a breath Seattle had only occasionally felt from the three popes.
A chill rushed from his tailbone to his forehead, and Seattle almost cried.
It is certainly impossible for the three popes to come here to kill people, so they can easily kill six archbishops of the Holy Church here, only a dozen miles away from Bo Laili, and three of them are powerful in the Holy Realm.
There are terrible beings within the church, and there are quite a few of them, but... none of them can be offended by Seattle!
Stuffing the leg bones into the spacious sleeves of the robe, Seattle looked at the emperor with a shit-eating expression, and laughed with great difficulty: "Your Majesty, I...I have found enough evidence, I am going to go now
Go back and report to the three popes what happened here. No matter what you saw, I hope you can keep it secret, because you understand!"
The emperor looked at Seattle thoughtfully. The golden light on the leg bone just now was so dazzling that it was impossible for the emperor to ignore it.
In fact, the emperor was also speculating on a question just now. There are three holy realms among the six holy church archbishops. According to common sense, it takes more than thirty holy realms to surround and kill three holy realms, so that they have no chance to escape. But
Obviously, no large-scale fights occurred here, and the fleeing businessmen did not say that there had been any fights here.
The six Archbishops of the Holy Temple were killed silently and in a very short time of a few breaths!
Who can do this? The emperor thought for a while, maybe with the national power of the Gallic Empire, he could also do this, but obviously he did not do it. Then, the person who did it is very doubtful! Think again
After the murder in the Holy Glory Cathedral, the emperor suddenly had the urge to sing loudly!
Teaching dog to bite dog is so damn fun. The emperor thought he should hook up with a few girls tonight and enjoy it!
Just when the emperor was about to slander Seattle, a group of light cavalry rushed over crazily.
"Your Majesty, the personal secretary of Lord Arujan, the Minister of Justice, was found hanged in the back alley of the Ministry of Justice!"
The emperor immediately looked at Seattle: "It looks like someone has cut off the clue!"
Seattle's face looked even uglier, as if he had just eaten three kilograms of dog shit, and then the enthusiastic owner gave him another ten kilograms. (To be continued)
