Then he looked toward the sky following the dazzling light and saw the equally bright Chang Geng star.
Standing high in the sky, shining like daylight.
For a time, neither the azure crescent moon that had just climbed up the treetops nor the setting sun hanging low on the western horizon could compete with it.
"Go to the Mage Tower for me and find out who has been promoted to an official magician today." Seeing this scene, Archbishop Nerga waved to call a priest and gave him instructions.
"Yes, Your Majesty Bishop." The priest saluted him respectfully, then turned and left.
After the priest left, Bishop Nerga still stood where he was.
He glanced at the shining Chang Geng Star again, then picked up the "Bible of Light" beside him, turned back a few pages, and read carefully word for word.
To be honest, as a devout believer in the Goddess of Light, Archbishop Nerga was already familiar with the contents of the "Light Canon" many years ago.
But he read the "Lighting Canon" today not to find any content, but just to calm down his mood.
"Morning Star", "Chang Geng Star", "Bright Star", "Son of Dawn"...these names passed down from word to mouth in the world actually refer to the same star.
It is the most dazzling star in the night sky. It rises early at dusk and sets late at sunrise. No star can take away its brilliance.
The "Bible of Light" says that every star is the brilliance of the goddess of light scattered in the sky, representing the goddess's fraternity for the world.
The Morning Star, or Chang Geng Star, represents the purest and most sincere blessing.
But Bishop Nerga knew that this was just a lie to deceive the world.
After all, the "Lighting Canon" that is now circulating is actually no longer the original "Lighting Canon", but a version that has been modified countless times by successive popes.
He had heard by chance that the original version of the "Light Canon" even contained content written by the goddess of light, which recorded the "secrets of the gods".
But now, almost all the original unmodified "Light Canon" has been burned, and only one copy has been preserved. But this only one is also collected in the papal territory, and is inseparable from the pope. Only with the permission of the pope,
Only then can we have a chance to see its true face.
Nerga once had a chance to catch a glimpse of it.
Then he memorized the sentence on it
"The bright star, the son of the morning, is the lost divinity of the goddess."
Because of this, Bishop Nerga was extremely surprised when he saw someone choose the morning star as the main star of destiny.
Howard's promotion is no secret.
Soon, the priest who was sent out to inquire about the news came back.
"It's Howard who is being promoted," the Priest's Club reported. "He is one of the latest batch of students recruited by Wizard Tower. He previously studied at Cambridge University. He is from a civilian background. Apart from his good relationship with Alan York, there is nothing special about him.
background."
"So it's him..." Bishop Nerga murmured to himself.
Bishop Nerga was naturally deeply impressed by Howard.
That day, Howard and Allen came to visit Hagia Sophia together.
As the son of the wealthy Earl William York, Alan behaved politely and generously, quite like the gentlemanly demeanor that the upper class of Braden Kingdom always respected.
In contrast, Howard's performance is much more low-key. Perhaps because of his background and personality, he has always been half a step behind Allen, and his expression reveals a bit of indifference and alienation.
But Bishop Nerga paid special attention to Howard, and even lowered his status and personally invited him to join the Church of Light.
The reason is very simple: the moment Howard entered Hagia Sophia that day, the divine aura on the Statue of the Goddess of Light fluctuated strongly!
That is something that has never happened to the Light Church in the past hundred years!
At that time, Bishop Nerga speculated that perhaps because the young man had a pure soul and a special physique, he was more suitable for the goddess. If he joined the Church of Light, he might have the power of a bishop at the level of divine power within a few years.
But today, seeing the bright star Chang Geng, it was obvious that Howard once again gave him a huge surprise.
"Write a letter for me and tell His Majesty the Pope about this matter," Bishop Nerga once again ordered the priests around him. "This matter is more important than I thought. I need to get some instructions from him.
"At the same time, he thought to himself: Maybe I can take this opportunity to make a difference.
"As commanded," replied the priest.

at the same time.
On the way to the restaurant with Selena, Allen was reading the "Braden Morning News" that Philip had just handed him.
On its first page, there is a paragraph written in bold font:
"After a fierce and desperate battle, the heroic Guardian Knights of the Church of Light won the final victory, successfully trapping the followers of the evil god in the far north ice field and preventing their plan to go south. But at the same time, because the enemy was too cruel and cunning,
, the Guardian Knights also suffered many casualties.
"Every knight who died was a hero who fought for the goddess and for justice. May their souls rest in peace in the goddess' kingdom."
Seeing this passage, Allen remained calm on the surface, but sneered on the inside. He felt that he still underestimated the Light Church's ability to distort facts and avoid the important. A ridiculous fiasco could be made up like a heroic and tragic epic. The Light Church
The civil service staff really worked very hard.
Then, Allen turned back a few pages of the newspaper and saw a few more news about current affairs in the Braden Kingdom:
"...
"New Party MP Vincent Till submitted a bill to the House of Commons hoping to repeal the Corn Economic Protection Act, but it was not passed in Parliament. Afterwards, MP Till shouted emotionally outside the parliament building, 'You guys
Sooner or later you will agree with my point of view'."
"Due to long-term harassment by the followers of the evil god of the Dark Temple, the Church of Light has recently suffered serious losses in financial and material resources. In order to make up for its military strength as soon as possible, Archbishop Yaconelga of Braden Diocese has made a request to the kingdom authorities to collect more church taxes. It is expected that
In the coming months, church tax will increase from 9% to 15% of personal income. The bill has already passed the House of Commons and is only awaiting approval from the House of Lords and Her Majesty the Queen."
"Recently, the southwest of the Kingdom has been hit by floods. Local farms and pastures have been flooded, resulting in a sharp drop in tax revenue. Members of the old party in the House of Commons proposed that they hope to reduce the daily expenses of the Mage Tower for flood relief. The bill has been passed by the House of Commons.
, subject to the approval of the House of Lords and Her Majesty the Queen.”
"Today, the coordinates of the 'Alan York plane' discovered by Alan York, a new student in the Mage Tower, have been officially registered. Her Majesty the Queen has also proposed a motion to grant Alan York a lifelong knighthood and the title of 'Pioneer'."
"..."
"Hey! Alan! Watch the road!"
Just as Allen was concentrating on reading the newspaper, Selina suddenly patted him on the shoulder, interrupting his chaotic thoughts.
Allen raised his head and realized that he had been focusing on reading the newspaper and almost hit the wall.
