If Archbishop Yaconelga was asked to describe his life in recent times in one sentence, it would be as if he was in heaven. The Dark Temple was burned in the fire, the hidden dangers on the Prime Minister's side were also resolved, and the Braden Kingdom
The citizens of the country regard him as a hero and savior. Every time they come to the church, they will look at him with admiration and awe, and obey all his instructions unconditionally.
As long as someone shows the slightest disrespect to him, those fanatical believers will solve these incongruous episodes on his behalf without the Archbishop taking action himself.
This made Archbishop Nelga feel a surge of heartfelt pleasure involuntarily.
Although the remaining believers in the Black Temple are missing, although John who went to assassinate the Prime Minister is still missing, and although the magic cannons have been recovered by the Kingdom of Braden, Archbishop Nerga believes that everything is in order now.
Develop in a good direction.
The destruction of the last dark temple was enough to make up for his previous mistakes in front of the Pope.
Of course, the most critical point is that Alan York is still staying in Hagia Sophia and has no chance to do anything outside.
Although this boy is young, he has a very strong background. He has an extremely wealthy earl father, and a legendary mage and alchemist master as his teacher. In order to stabilize his position in the Braden Diocese, Archbishop Nerga temporarily dare not
What to do to him.
Putting him under house arrest in the church and cutting off contact with the outside world is the best method Archbishop Nerga can think of.
The archbishop spends half of his time in Allen's room every day, and the other half of the time sends his most trusted priests to guard there. Coupled with the effect of the "magic enchantment", the archbishop is very
I'm sure Allen can't escape.
Today, Archbishop Nerga placed a copy of the "Bible of Light" in front of Allen and said to him:
"Alan, as a believer of the Goddess of Light, you have to read the "Light Canon" several times when you have time to better understand the teachings in it.
"Alan, you have to understand that if there are differences between believers, they must forgive each other and tolerate each other. All hatred, anger, conspiracy, and slander are forbidden. You must forgive others' sins with compassion, and then the goddess will
Forgive us our sins.”
When the archbishop came in, Allen was lowering his head and staring attentively at a piece of paper in his hand.
Hearing the Archbishop's words, he raised his head and asked, "Forgive us our sins?"
"Yes," the Archbishop replied, "If you have carefully read the Canon of Light, you should know that just as light is born in darkness, every believer is born into the world with stains; and living in this world also
You will be tempted by various temptations and inadvertently commit new crimes.
"Only by devoutly believing in the goddess and following the teachings in the "Lighting Canon" can one wash away all his sins after death and ascend to the goddess' kingdom."
Allen was silent for a moment and asked: "What are these charges...?"
"Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust." The archbishop smiled faintly. He had long been familiar with these dogmas, and could naturally recite them fluently.
Seeing that Allen was silent for a while, Archbishop Nerga continued: "Alan, I know that maybe you are dissatisfied with some of the recent measures taken by the Light Church, but you have to understand that indulging in desires, indulging in pleasure, and hating others will end in dissatisfaction."
Party calculations...these are not respected. The world...especially you, and the new party that your father and brother belong to are currently on the wrong edge. They will be severely punished after death."
"Severe punishment?" Allen frowned slightly. Nelga was very satisfied to see a look of worry in his eyes.
Then he spoke energetically:
“Arrogance is a warning, and arrogance must be punished heavily.
"Jealousy, guard against jealousy, punish it by slitting your eyes.
"Rage, avoid it in anger, punish it with black smoke.
“Laziness is to be punished by laziness, and running is the punishment.
"Greed, stop it by being greedy, lie down and punish it.
“Gluttony is a warning, and hunger is a punishment.
"Lust, the warning lies in the color, the flame punishes it. (1)
"This is the punishment for committing a crime.
"Ellen, you have to understand that I am helping you make up for your previous mistakes.
"As long as you can temporarily give up those unreasonable requests and submit obediently to the idol of the goddess of light, you will still have a chance to obtain salvation.
"Otherwise, after your death, the goddess will judge you one by one for the crimes you have committed."
Since the last dark temple was burned down, Archbishop Nerga feels that he has another heavy achievement on his hands, and he has a little more confidence to speak.
A few days ago, his attitude towards Allen was a little bit bearable, and he wanted to pay some price and settle the matter as soon as possible;
But now, he feels that even if he only burned a temple symbolically, there are few bishops in the entire Church of Light who can match his achievements. In this way, as long as His Majesty the Pope will correct the mistakes he made in the past
By forgetting the past, his status in the Kingdom of Braden will be as stable as ever.
As for Allen... although I can't deal with it at will, I can at least re-negotiate the terms with him in a slightly more proactive manner.
However, at this time, a meaningful smile appeared on Allen's face: "Mr. Bishop, thank you for your concern. But have you ever thought about whether you will be subject to the same trial in the future?"
"Of course, but this"
The archbishop wanted to say, "This is not your concern now," but before he could finish his words, the priest Peter burst in and said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, the people from the police station are staying outside now, holding a document with the cross-star seals of the Supreme Court, Her Majesty the Queen and the Church of Light, asking you to leave immediately to attend the trial that will be held in the Supreme Court today."
"Today?" The Archbishop's face suddenly darkened, "Didn't I discuss with Her Majesty the Queen that the trial against the Prime Minister will be transferred to the Church of Light?"
"But, Your Majesty Bishop... today's trial is not against the Sistine Prime Minister, but against"
"Aimed at whom?"
"It's... aimed at you," Peter said with a trembling voice, "My Lord Bishop, please forgive me, I didn't mean to say that, I was just conveying what they said... They said that someone sued you, so..."
"Who sues me?".
Peter lowered his head, and after a long while, he slowly said: "Yes...it's Alan York."
Upon hearing this, Archbishop Nerga turned around suddenly, looked at Alan York sitting on the sofa, and said with a horrified expression: "You? Have you ever been out?"
According to the laws of the Kingdom of Braden, if you want to submit an indictment in court, you must be present in person unless the plaintiff loses the ability to express his will.
But during the recent period, Allen has been locked up in the church and restrained by a magical barrier. Archbishop Nerga really can't figure out how he can go to court to sue.
Hearing this, Allen smiled, took out a white rose flower from his pocket, played with it in his hand, and asked something strange: "Mr. Bishop, you must have played chess, right?"
"Although casting the king's car cannot solve all problems, it can at least give us a head start."
