The holy city of Frankfurt has lost its former glory.
As people could not wait for the news of Jupiter IV's return day by day, people in the city gradually began to become confused. But there were still people who prayed to Tire every day to bless their pope for his safe return.
However, all this was ruined two days ago.
It was the Holy Spirit whom they worshiped. Nine hundred years ago, he lit up Mount Mokas with his life and blood. He killed 4,800 and 32 pagans by himself, the unknown saint St. Mokas. He named Tire
The identity of the spokesman suddenly appeared and announced that Jupiter IV was dead, and in the holy name of the Holy Spirit who lived in the country of Tyre, he took back all the rights of the cardinals, and he would take over as the new pope of Tyre and establish himself.
For Musa III.
Before people could react to the impact of the continuous bombardment of news, St. Mochas immediately issued the first oracle.
He ordered that all believers of more than three generations without Bantha blood and all women in the city be expelled from the city. If they disobey, they will be killed without mercy.
"Only by sacrificing the blood of Tyr can we gain the glory certified by the Holy City -" he said enthusiastically, while he casually killed a pregnant woman with a big belly and built a simple altar.
The Bantha woman with Tyr blood flowing in her body was killed by him together with her unborn child before she could react. And a huge element full of holy light hatched from her body.
The altar, which was based on the concepts of "young Tire", "gestation", and "the sun that has not yet risen", produced the effect of a bishop-level magic without spending any divine grace. But it was affected by the warm
The holy light shines, but people can only feel cold from inside.
At this time, people just remembered that, apart from the issue of stance, the unknown saint named after the mountain range where he died was once a murderous executioner. And the era he lived in was exactly what Tire believed in
Reaching the most fanatical age.
At that time, the undead had just announced their surrender, and Elkart had abandoned its weapons and fell into a long-term internal struggle. The war between the gods and the undead had just passed. To the west of Elkart, which was burned into a desert, the gods would not be frozen.
The covered land was divided up.
It was a time when the power of the clergy was the highest. A priest could judge the crimes of viscounts and even counts at will, and they could choose any civilians to sacrifice. And they killed people at will without any sin. Those thirty years before and after were the most intense in the history of the gods.
dark times.
Many people unite, believe in fabricated false gods that do not exist, and try to fight against the gods. But in front of the gods with the backing of the true god, their resistance is ridiculously weak. Although because of the Wall of Orm
Due to the barrier, Tyr actually did not receive any sacrifices, but the fervent and extremely excited spirit of the believers when they performed the ritual gave Tyr more pure power. Therefore, he also acquiesced to this behavior.
In order to appease the increasingly frequent riots, in the 119th year of the gods, the gods announced a ban on any form of human sacrifice, defining it as the key difference between evil gods and righteous gods.
At that time, women were considered unclean by foolish people, and only pregnant women were sacred. Children, the elderly, and women were not allowed to kneel down and worship Tire in public, otherwise they would be executed immediately for desecrating the icon. They only
After the sun goes down, you can secretly pray to your own idols for protection, and wash the idols before the sun rises as atonement.
It was not until the year 691 of the Calendar of the Gods, under the call of the goddess of life Keni, that the women of Bansa achieved a relatively equal status in a religious sense. It took a full twenty years for people to get used to this change.
.
And when people finally saw clearly the true character of St. Mochas, who they had worshiped as a hero for nine hundred years and became the embodiment of courage and piety in various legends and myths, fear, regret and disgust came like a tide.
, the faith of some not-so-devout people in Tire began to collapse.
What made people find it even more absurd was that the person who stood up at this time was actually their cardinal - the person who presided over the ceremony of evoking the saint.
What does this mean? They are actually attacking the saint they summoned with their own hands - do they regret that they performed this ritual? Even the cardinals don't know what kind of cruel and foolish murderer they are worshiping? Even
Have they also denied their faith?
So, what is the meaning of your own faith? Is Tell really as loving and wise as the book says?
Before, believers never had doubts.
At this time, they began to doubt Tire and the gods for the first time.
After an avalanche occurs, it is difficult to stop it.
After learning the news of the death of Jupiter IV, he was splashed with blood on the street by the saint who was completely out of touch with the times hundreds of years ago. Then he watched helplessly as the saint who had just been summoned less than ten minutes was killed by the Cardinal.
They join forces to kill - all this is more absurd than any absurd drama.
Starting yesterday, the order in the city of St. Frankfurt began to slowly collapse.
Some villains who had never been able to enter the city before also sneaked in. This place closest to the sun began to be smelled by the sweat of homeless people, beggars carrying sharp knives, and murderers who had never had faith sneaked in. They were novel.
As they walked on the streets of this holy city that they had never been allowed to enter, they felt a sense of joy similar to that of a pure girl being defiled.
Accompanied by the most chaotic and evil group, after Roland broke the wrist of the third man who tried to tear Roland's clothes with a knife, they obtained it in exchange for showing a short knife stained with fresh human blood.
A warm gift from the hotel owner.
"This is Frankfurt?"
Lilia asked for the third time: "This place that is more sinful and chaotic than the city of wealth is the holy city of Frankfurt?"
"Sin and chaos are not synonymous, Miss Lilia."
Gaharad responded nonchalantly.
Roland also nodded: "For this period of time, just bear with it. After the cardinals send people to start cleaning up these scum, the remaining people will not go crazy."
"So, brother Roland, when will we go to the temple? We have been waiting all day."
"There is no way, the time has not come yet. Even if I have to wait another week and a half, I have to wait." Roland replied softly.
"Well, the time has not come yet...the chaos here is indeed a bit too much."
Lilia sighed helplessly. Gahalad shrugged his shoulders. Geno's eyes were full of faint sadness, and his face was forced to smile easily.
However, no one, including Gahalad, knew that Roland's so-called "time has not come yet" did not mean waiting until the chaos was over.
Instead, wait for his ring to randomly come out with a high enough level, a unique magic in the sun field——
