After sailing in the cold wind for several days, the group finally got off at the northernmost port of Scandinavia.
Wadeser is just a small port town. Except for fishing boats and a few merchant ships, few ships will come to this small town surrounded by ice and snow, not far from the far north.
After Steve saw John's powerful illusion ability in Copenhagen, he asked him to add illusion to the team before he got off the ship, which made people unaware of it and sneaked into the town.
Because this time the goal is in the only church in the town.
Looking up at the quaint church in front of you, there is an exotic style different from the usual Gothic churches.
Steve ordered people to separate their hands and block the front and back exits, and then led people to open the heavy wooden door of the church and asked President John, the president, to come in.
As soon as you enter the church, the fireplace burns and heat with smoke comes to the face.
John looked around the church, which was quite large, and found that the lights inside were dim and the spacious space made it look even more profound. Except for rows of candle pulpits, only a few places lit the lights.
Then he saw that the church was obviously not the style of a Christian church, and there were murals depicting pagan myths on the walls.
"This is?"
Just as John looked closely, the people in the church there had already discovered their uninvited guests.
"Who are you?"
This is an old pastor wearing a teacher's uniform. The Norwegian state religion is the Lutheran in Protestantism, so it is a pastor rather than a priest.
After entering the church, John did not continue to maintain the illusion, so the old pastor immediately discovered that the problem was wrong.
At this time, there were no villagers who came to worship, so there was only the old pastor in the church, which was convenient for Steve and the others to ask.
"As the church of Christ, but he preserved the legend of the Asada tribe in absolute way, is it that you are arrogant or stupid?"
The old pastor changed his face and shouted:
"Are you the executioners of the Inquisition?"
Inquisition, in John's world, it is called the Faith Theory Department. People may not understand the Faith Theory Department, but when you mention the "Inquisition", then all Europeans will subconsciously think of a terrible institution immediately.
It is the Inquisition that created religious horrors in Europe since the Middle Ages, such as witch hunting incidents, faith persecution, etc., which are all institutions.
The Inquisition is also called the Inquisition. Since the Catholic Pope Gregory IX decided to establish this religious court by the Dominican Church in 1231, the Western calendar, this name has become synonymous with horror and is notorious in the European world.
After the emergence of Protestantism, the authority of the Holy See declined year by year and changed several times. In 1904, under secular pressure, the Inquisition in Rome was changed to the Supreme Holy Tribe, and was renamed in 1965.
It was the Department of Sacred Belief, and since 1985, the term sacred was also abolished and became the Department of Faith Theory.
It is now 1939, and in theory, this institution should be called the Supreme Holy Holy Tribe, but civil society still calls it the Inquisition.
Because this institution has a deep impression of the fear brought by the European people, it cannot be forgotten by changing the name.
Steve is still very suitable to play the role of a bad guy, looking at the old pastor with a three-point grin and saying:
"Although we are not from the Inquisition, if you don't cooperate, then we don't mind pretending to be the Inquisition once. I still know a little about their methods."
Steve did not tell lies. As wizards, they naturally follow the church from the side of hostile forces. There is a saying that makes sense, "The person who knows you best is often not your friends, but
Your enemy”.
When the old pastor heard this, his body obviously trembled, but he still pretended to be strong and very stubborn.
"This is a sacred temple. You are not allowed to be blasphemed. Please go out..."
John, who was looking at the murals over there and listening to the conversation in the church, couldn't help but laugh:
"I wonder which god we have blasphemed, which god we have blasphemed, is your holy temple of Christ or Odin?"
"This..." The old pastor was speechless when he heard this. Because he had problems himself, the murals could not be considered at all.
On the surface, as a Protestant pastor, he was actually in a remote town in the far north of the sky high and the emperor was far away. The Lutheran church was unwilling to worry about him, and the Catholic Church, which was far away, had no reason to come and find trouble.
.
So for hundreds of years or more, the pastors have told the town residents in private about Odin and Asgar, the kings of the gods, in addition to open worship sermons.
The story of the myth of destiny.
In fact, they are the legacy of the beliefs of the Nordic gods, but since the Middle Ages, Europe has been under Christ's world, so they have to pretend to hide inside the enemy.
Now that someone is called out, I will inevitably feel guilty.
Fortunately, John was not from either side. He was only interested in something and came to participate in this operation.
"I don't care what you believe in. What I want to know is the origin of this ancient church and what kind of treasures are hidden in it?"
Facing John's eyes that seemed to have magical power, the old priest who was just an extraordinary apprentice of warrior, suddenly his eyes fell into confusion, and then said a little dull:
"This is a palace-renovated church left by the descendants of the Viking kings. It used to be Odin's temple. It was disguised as a Catholic church hundreds of years ago, and later it was changed to a Protestant church. It is said that it is hidden in the church.
The secret treasure of Odin, the king of gods, is said that whoever gets it will rule the world. This is the core secret of our sect…”
A mere extraordinary apprentice naturally cannot resist the hypnosis performed by John with his spiritual power, although John is not a master in hypnosis.
Steve clapped his hands after hearing these words.
"That's right, it's here that we get this secret because an immigrant descendant of his father from Norway reported to his superiors. Our head of state seems to want to obtain treasures that can affect the situation of the war and even rule the world.
, When President Smith sent to find the holy object of Longines' gun, he paid great attention to it. Odin's name had no less impact on Europe, especially in the north than in Christ, so this time it was said to be hidden.
Only the Odin secret treasure operation is worthy of the military's dispatch.”
John didn't agree after hearing this.
"Do you rely on external things to rule the world? I'm afraid the result will not be as good as the head of state..."
What is the saying of dominating the world? John read a lot in his previous life in his novels. The earliest one was the sentence "The Supreme Martial Arts World, the sword slays the dragon. He commands the world, no one dares to follow. The Heaven Sword does not come out.
, who is competing with me?
Anyone who has read this should know that no matter in the world or the court, no one can easily play it after mastering any magical secrets or peerless magical weapons.
Is Zhang Wuji not strong? Originally, as the leader of the Ming Cult, almost no one can defeat the Nine Yang Divine Power or the Great Movement of the Universe. Besides, Zhang is the legitimate communist leader of the rebel army. In addition, Zhang Wuji also knows the secret of the Dragon Slaying Sword of the Heavenly Sword. Finally,
Isn’t it still because Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally a miserable middle class of the Ming Cult in the novel, used a trick to force him away?
This can prove that if you want to achieve great things, personality, wisdom and power struggle are the key factors, and you also need a trace of illusory luck.
