In the past, Ringer had always regarded the Witches' Association and the United Order as two different organizations. It was just that the former had infiltrated its power into the latter and used the power of the latter to help him achieve his so-called "great cause".
The direct reason that prompted him to have this idea is that the Witches' Society is a secret organization with a long history. It first appeared in the early AD and has been looming behind the scenes of human civilization for the past eighteen centuries. They interfere and guide history.
direction, pushing the world to another path, and at the same time, for some unknown purpose, always hiding his true identity. Until now, there are still only a few people - such as Ringer and others, and such as the Thirteen Hermits -
—Know that they exist.
In order to avoid being exposed, the way they interfere and guide history is usually indirect rather than direct. Sometimes, members of the association are allowed to publish various major scientific research results or literary works in their own names to promote the development of modern science and ideological civilization.
For example, Galileo's celestial calendar, Martin Luther's Lutheran theology, Darwin and Marco Polo's geographical environment inspections of the Eastern and Western continents, etc.
Sometimes, members of the association are allowed to infiltrate the forces or countries that can best lead the trend of the times in each historical period, usually in order to use their power to achieve political and social system innovation. For example, during the Hundred Years War, Marshal Napoleon and the Red-bearded King
Barbarossa and Joan of Arc respectively completed the conquest and unification of the three largest countries in the Western Continent, promoting the transformation of the social and political system from a backward feudal monarchy to a more enlightened modern constitutional system; or Clausewitz
, Helmut and Durenni, the three famous generals, single-handedly led the war against the extraordinary ones, replacing the barbaric and primitive extraordinary system with a gentler magic system... These are all very clear examples.
Based on this, Ringer originally believed that Ronning Lavelle, Dickens, Christian, and even Saint Feir... were all representatives of the Witches' Association that infiltrated the United Order, but the degree of infiltration was deeper. But that may not be the case.
, perhaps there is a possibility that the United Order itself is a force established by the Witches' Association? It's just that ordinary believers don't know it. Only members of a specific level - such as the apostles or philosophers of the association know the truth.
Once the conclusion is determined, all the contradictory but related details that have been thought about before are perfectly explained: there have never been seven righteous gods, there are only seven witches named after the saints; precisely because the seven righteous gods are
Fictional, their teachings are so vague, and no deeds have been spread; at the same time, the alliance of religious orders pays more attention to social practice rather than the spread of faith, and it is also to prevent believers from overly fanatical belief power to incarnate the fictional Seven Great Gods.
The true conception of gods led to another tragedy of the Steam Holy War; the Seven Churches of the Righteous Gods are actually different organizations under the Witch Association, but they are still essentially the same organization, so the division of labor is clear, and Langning, a believer in the Garden of Plants and Trees,
·The reason why Lavelle appeared in the team to judge the Holy See was not because he had abandoned his faith, but because of his job transfer...
Although there is no evidence so far that this speculation is correct, Ringer feels that it is the closest to the truth. Otherwise, the weird name "United Realism Order" cannot be explained: Faith is of course an illusory thing, and there is only a witch association.
Those crazy people who think they can change the world are the realists.
But once one question is solved, another one pops up: What does this mean?
Does it mean that the Witches' Association is finally tired of hiding behind the scenes and secretly manipulating as before, and decides to step on the stage openly and use the whole world as its own chessboard to make moves? Or does it mean that their "Eden Project" has come to an end?
The last step, so you don’t need to be as cautious as in the past and can you justifiably welcome your victory?
Whatever the answer is, it's unlikely to be good news, at least for Ringer and others.
The Witch Society is a mysterious organization that has interfered in human history since ancient times. The United Order is the most influential religious organization in the human world since modern times. From the past to the present, from the mysterious world to the superficial world, from extraordinary power to
All aspects of society, politics and the economy...confronting both at the same time will only lead to deep despair.
Thinking of this, Ling Ge sighed silently.
"Why are you sighing?" A voice came from the side: "Are you disappointed that the ceremony building in such a magnificent church is so shabby, Ringer?"
"Not really."
The young man replied subconsciously, and then he realized that it was Alice's voice, and listening to her words, it seemed that he had arrived at his destination?
He looked up and realized that he was in front of a three-story building. It was a mixed structure of red brick and wood, with whitewashed exterior walls, a triangular-structured porch, old convex glass windows, and a sloping roof.
A piece of vermilion brick. A large piece of green ivy hangs from the roof, covering an entire wall. There are small white or yellow flowers blooming in it, which looks green and very comfortable. Just from the appearance.
To put it bluntly, it does not look like a traditional religious-style building, but rather like the private houses that can be seen everywhere in the city of Rosting.
Old Pancras stroked his red beard with a smile: "Please forgive me if I have disappointed Mr. Ringer. Compared with the Great Cathedral, Jianxianyuan, Jianzhiyuan and other buildings, the Ceremony Building is indeed
It’s much shabbier.”
"There is no such thing, Lord Pancras." Ringer said: "It feels... very comfortable."
This is not a polite statement. Compared with the various palaces, squares and bell towers they saw along the way, the ceremony building is not grand enough, but it is more unique in temperament. The main reason is that this is probably the most unique place in the entire St. Anville Cross Church.
It’s a popular place. Monks in black clothes in a hurry, nuns holding various documents, maids or attendants responsible for cleaning, and people like them who are obviously not believers but have other purposes are all under the open main door of the ceremony building.
People were coming and going, even if everyone deliberately lowered their voices, the sound of conversations and footsteps still made the place very lively.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Since the church closed, various church affairs that originally needed to be handled in the academic building, such as the daily management of believers, relief activities of welfare institutions, and the most important financial
Income, etc., are all transferred to the Ceremony Building." Pancras introduced to everyone: "The Cardinal of the Ceremony Department, Brother Mufasa, should be handling academic affairs in the office on the third floor. I will take you to see him."
No one objected, so everyone followed Pancras into the ceremony building. It can be seen that the old man has a high reputation here. Everyone who passes by, whether they are black monks or nuns, will pay him respect.
, and the nun who is responsible for receiving visitors on the first floor also said that if it is Lord Pancras, there is no need to make an appointment, and you can go directly to the cardinal's office on the third floor. This is what Brother Mufasa has ordered in advance.
Linge and his party took advantage of the old man's favor and acted as a privileged class for a time. They arrived at the cardinal's office on the third floor without any hindrance and met the monk Mufasa. Different from the traditional impression of the world, this red monk
The monk in clothing is an exceptionally tall and strong man, with a sinewy face and strong muscles. A red coat symbolizing the majesty of the cardinal is covered on his body, as if it might burst open at any time. Plus, his appearance... say something.
Without being too polite, if Old Pancras was ugly, he was probably vicious, the kind that would make a child stop crying.
Of course, it is wrong to judge people by their appearance. Although Brother Mufasa looks fierce, he is an extremely devout believer, otherwise he would not be able to become a cardinal. And he also has a soft side in his heart. According to the old man Pancras,
Since I was a child, I have loved going to the streets to help the old lady cross the road, and once escorted a lost little girl home - although the result was that the little girl cried even louder.
By the way, Brother Mufasa is also a member of the True Spirit Sect. In other words, the animist believers who are still staying at St. Anville Cross Church can only be members of the True Spirit Sect. And they are all under the influence of the True Spirit Sect.
Because of the influence of the old man Pancras, some people simply grew up under the watch and guidance of the old man like Brother Mufasa. Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why Pancras left the church for a long time and still remained.
It has a high reputation here.
The old man briefly mentioned the origin and purpose of Linge and others to Brother Mufasa, hoping that he could provide some help within his ability.
After listening, the cardinal behind the desk fell into deep thought. He slowly turned his gaze to Ringer, and when he spoke, his voice was like an ancient bell, deep and deep: "I generally know about Rochelle, what I think
In agreement with Lord Pancras, he has gone down the wrong path for his own obsession. You were able to stop him in time and prevent a greater disaster. Rochelle must be grateful to you in her heart. Please don't do it.
I blame myself, Mr. Linge. As for help, to be honest, the current position of the Spiritual Prayer Society in Lunweiting is very subtle, and the position of our True Spirit Sect is even more subtle. If we provide help blatantly, it will not only easily lead to the union of religious groups
I am afraid that even some church members who regard us as traitors will hate you. Therefore, the only thing I can do is to find a believer to act as a guide for you. During this period, if you need anything, please
You can communicate it through her, and we will give you a reply after careful consideration."
He did not speak fully, but this attitude was quite convincing. Ringer nodded and said: "That's enough. Thank you very much for your help, Your Excellency Mufasa."
Mufasa nodded lightly, then picked up the copper bell on the table, shook it slightly, and made a tinkling sound. He said to the void: "Sister Livia, please come to my office.
