In the early morning at Dunerqi, the port and docks were abuzz, but the city was peaceful and peaceful.《》
The shop has just opened its door, and the guys are setting up ladders to wipe the shop sign. The convoy delivering firewood and food to the wealthy families in the city slowly drove into the city, and dispersed in small groups to various streets and alleys.
Groups of soldiers holding long guns and wearing long swords were walking neatly towards the military camp in a corner of the city. They had just finished their night patrol and were preparing to return to rest.
People of all kinds and professions got up, and some luxurious carriages and horses also appeared on the road. Nobles and wealthy businessmen were always busy with things. The carriages were either going out for business or had just left a certain place.
In a private salon or other party, yawning young men and women are returning home with tiredness after a night of madness.
Amidst the sweet tinkling bells, an old priest wearing a black robe, carrying a censer wrapped in wire in his left hand and a small copper bell in his right hand, was leading a group of choirs in a swaying manner.
Children walked through the streets of Dunerq. Whenever they met pedestrians on the road, the kind-hearted old priest would stop and extend his most sincere blessings to the other person.
The incense burner the old priest was carrying was only as big as a fist, but high-quality ambergris was burning inside. The aroma gradually spread in the morning air, and the fragrant fragrance filled the entire street. A dozen fair-skinned and lovely choir orphans
Praying along with his blessings, praising all the beautiful gods with a clear and mellow voice.
Pedestrians who have been blessed will stop respectfully, piously take out a dozen copper coins or a few gold and silver coins, and buy beautifully printed atonement charms with clear numbers and anti-counterfeiting watermarks from the old priest.
Since the Bereli Trial five years ago, the church has finally begun to pay attention to the problem of counterfeit atonement charms being sold in large quantities. Through the efforts of some financial experts at the top of the church, the new atonement charms were finally put into use three years ago. All the atonement charms are
The printing, engraving, ink, watermark and security numbering using special paper for printing gold tickets are all handled by a bank designated by the church. (《》)
As a result, although the cost of each atonement talisman has increased a lot, the fake and inferior atonement talismans have completely disappeared. Even if the church headquarters receives a portion of the atonement talisman's annual income from each country, it is still less than five
Revenues from the previous year have approximately doubled.
Especially in New Dunerker, because of the existence of Father Du Wen, the profits of the Atonement Talisman are the largest in the mainland. Every year, in the city of Dunerker alone, the church can get tens of millions of gold coins in revenue.
Father Du Wen is the old priest who leaves Dunker Church early every morning, walks the streets of Dunker with the children in the choir, and enthusiastically prays for all the passers-by he meets. He is a
A kind and peaceful old man with a spirit of cultivation, he came here during the early stages of the construction of the new Dunerker Port. With his love and compassion, he gained the trust and respect of all Dunerker.
Over the past few years, Father Du Wen has used his powerful divine power and superb medical skills to heal countless injured and sick citizens and sailors of Dunerque. His reputation has even surpassed all other big figures in the cathedral, even the one who has lived in seclusion all year round.
None of the cardinals, archbishops and cardinals were as welcomed as Father Duwen by everyone in the entire port of Dunker.
In the past few years, Father Du Wen has turned a stingy miser into a generous and charitable person; he has made the gangsters who blocked roads, robbed money and killed people return to their lost ways, and turned them into the bravest militia in the Port of Duner.
Warriors; those dandies who lived a dissolute life, under his diligent persuasion, turned into hard-working young heroes. He not only cured the citizens of Dunerq physically, he also became a spiritual leader.
A mentor to nearly a million citizens of Duner and countless merchants, sailors, and workers on voyages.
"Is little Anne's health okay? God will bless her!" Father Du Wen smiled and shook the small bell on his hand, emitting a crisp ringtone. He smiled kindly and expressed condolences to an old man with gray hair and beard. The old man was respectful.
He bowed to Father Du Wen, then took out five gold coins and handed them to Father Du Wen. ""
He took out dozens of atonement charms from his sleeves and handed them to the old man. Father Du Wen smiled gently and said: "God will protect you. You and your family will be protected by God. Don't worry, Sarah is in the church school."
She is very diligent, and I often explain various scriptures to her, and she will become a competent clergyman. Next year, I will recommend her to study in the Holy Mountain, and everything will be fine."
Nodding slightly, Father Du Wen continued to move forward with a smile.
The children in the choir looked at Father Du Wen's back with great respect. They followed him neatly, singing softly songs praising the gods. Father Du Wen smiled kindly, and sang the same pious and sacred hymns.
Singing sounds kept coming out of his mouth.
Although he looks extremely old, Father Du Wen has a good voice, a loud and magnetic voice, let alone being a priest, even if he goes to the Royal Theater of Bureilly to sing opera, he will be a first-class famous actor. It is precisely because of this.
His good voice made him so efficient in spreading teachings in Dunerq. After all, people in the world tend to judge people by their appearance.
When passing by a street that was perpendicular to the main avenue of Dun Erqi, Father Du Wen happened to see a middle-aged man pulling an ownerless little donkey and quickly slipped into the gate of a house. Father Du Wen was stunned.
Then a kind and gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The original sin of greed, Mr. Chauvins still can't change his old habits. He is already so rich."
"It's just that Miss Shavins is really a sweet little cutie, especially her charming breasts, um, it's so memorable. Well, for the sake of Miss Shavins' virginity, it's enough to make her father go to bed
Let’s forget about the original sin of greed at the stake.”
A ferocious and obscene smile flashed across the corner of Father Du Wen's mouth like an illusion. He was still the holy, solemn, kind, and beloved old priest by everyone. He gently clamped his legs and let himself
The part of the body that had suddenly become extremely hard because of the thought of Miss Chauvins's beautiful breasts slowly relaxed, and then she continued to move forward with some difficulty.
Du Wen, the kind, radiant Father Du Wen, the presiding priest of the Divine Grace Church of Dunerque Cathedral, has another code name in the church's top-secret files - Bloody Du Wen, the Chief Archbishop of the Religious Inquisition.
, possessing the unlimited power of judgment granted by the Pope.
Limited to the power of the Religious Inquisition, the bloody Archbishop Du Wen has no right to judge clergy, but he has the right to mobilize all the power of the church to judge and execute punishments on all secular people. Even if he is the emperor of an empire, when Du Wen
When the archbishop felt that he should be punished, he was attacked by the religious inquisitors in an almost frenzied manner.
After the disaster of the Dunker Meteor and the annihilation of an elite group of Church Punishment Knights who secretly invaded the northern part of the Gallic Empire, Archbishop Duwen was transferred here under the joint order of three popes. He single-handedly presided over Dunker
The construction of the cathedral has single-handedly established the personnel structure of the Dunker Cathedral. In addition to the 10,000 guardian knights of the Guardian Knights, the entire Dunker Cathedral has more than 20,000 high-level, mid-level, and low-level knights.
The clergy are all warriors and mages with considerable combat effectiveness.
This is a nail for the church to embed itself into the northern part of the Gallic Empire. It is not only aimed at the aliens of Wudalian Island, but also against the Gallic Empire and even other countries on the mainland itself. With the Dunerqi Cathedral, the huge force of the church will be
Appearing in the north of the continent at any time, it forms a strategic advantage for all countries on the continent to attack from the north and the south.
In particular, the northern coastline of the mainland is an important economic lifeline for several major powers in the mainland. The appearance of Dunerq Cathedral here undoubtedly means that the church has hung a sharp sword over this lifeline and can cut it off at any time.
.
With a faint smile, Father Du Wen completed his daily routine of patrolling the city selling atonement charms every morning, and led the choir children onto the spacious road leading to Dunker Cathedral.
Tall and majestic, covering an area of nearly a thousand acres, the Dunerker Cathedral was built entirely according to the specifications of an armed battle fortress. It stands on a high hill outside the city of Dunerker. In front of this high hill is the vast Dunerker Bay.
Behind it is the dense black pine forest that stretches along the northern borders of several countries. The terrain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Seine River channel connecting the imperial capital of Bureilly and several major transportation lines to the interior all happen to start from Dunker.
Passing near the church.
An absolute strategic point, a strategic point that completely blocks the communication channels inside and outside Dunker.
Dunker Cathedral is like an evil dragon entrenched on the hill, looking down fiercely at the port city of Dunker, overlooking the Gallic Imperial Capital, which is two days away by water, and overlooking the entire northern part of the continent.
Returning to Dunker Cathedral, Du Wen walked into a secret room, took off the uniform of a low-ranking priest, and put on a set of loose bishop's robes made of pure white cotton. He followed the special secret passage
When he returned to his dormitory, a pretty female priest wearing a tight-fitting dress was already waiting in his dormitory, and respectfully handed him a red official document.
Slowly unfolding the official document and scanning it, Du Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Praise the gods, traces of heresy? Oh, so cute, so funny."
Du Wen suddenly became inexplicably excited, and his limbs that were as hard as steel swelled uncontrollably.
He gently stretched out his hand to hold the female priest's head, and asked her to slowly kneel down in front of him, letting her crawl into his loose robe. His body was sucked by the wet and hot mouth, and he
An extremely sacred golden divine light gushed out from his body.
"O God, your will guides me, and all heresy will be reduced to ashes in your light."
"You dominate everything, you decide the fate of all living beings, whether heretics, your servants, these cute little priests, and even me, they all struggle to survive in this world according to your will."
"Dear child, all this is God's will!"
Du Wen groaned lowly. He pushed the red-faced female priest to the ground, and then pressed her up impatiently.
