If small countries like Lundborg are not protected by the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, they are most likely to be swallowed up by the surrounding big countries, or become a buffer zone between big countries, and become battlefields where conflicts break out every once in a while, leaving fertile soil
The land turned into a deserted wilderness.
Therefore, the people living here have a heartfelt worship for the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the Church of Knowledge. It is their blessing that allows people to pick up books and obtain knowledge.
Before heading to Bernas, the capital of Lemberg, Rolster deliberately stopped in other places in Lemberg for a while to verify the news sent back by the Tamara tribe, and his expression became increasingly serious.
If he were just an ordinary person, such a country would naturally be attractive to him, but he is the heir and crown prince of the Maxi Kingdom. Any ruler would definitely be extremely wary of a huge church that controls religious beliefs.
, power can only be held in the hands of one person.
It seems that Loen is the best choice for me... Rawls held a book in his hand and saw a group of believers holding books coming out of a church of knowledge similar to the top of a tower with a smile on their faces,
After chatting with each other for a few words, they left or joined the discussion in another street corner or cafe...
This life has already been planned by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Goddess of Night, Adam and the "Uncertain Fog".
Rawls has always had a question, that is, since his identity includes Crown Prince Ma Xi, why does he appear in Backlund?
Before he had the idea of replacing Augustus and becoming King of Loen, he thought it was to allow him to better participate in the original plot, join the Tarot Society, etc., but none of these could explain one problem, that is, this
It added a lot of difficulties for him to become the king of Ma Xi.
This is not in his own interests, unless when he was still in the "Uncertain Mist", what he wanted to be was not a small King of Ma Xi, but King of Loen, which was his ultimate goal.
With the help of the identity of Crown Prince Ma Xi, he established a blood bond with Augustus; used his understanding of the original plot to understand and influence Loen's politics step by step; and even the power of the "Uncertain Mist" in him and Edward Laito
The changes... These are all preparations made in advance to replace Augustus and become King of Loen.
call
Closing the book in his hand, Rawls stepped out and entered the spiritual world.
This time when he visited Albert Mendoza, he did not ask Alicia to follow him. On the one hand, he could already travel through the spirit world, and on the other hand, he wanted to prevent any accidents.
After all, the Tamara family is still being hunted by the Church of the Seven Gods.
As for security issues, even if the Rolls, Alicia and Tamara families unite, they can't do anything at the headquarters of the Church of Knowledge. After all, there is more than one angel there.
…
Lemberg, the capital of Bernas, the headquarters of the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" is located in the center of the city. It is a white tower nearly 100 meters high.
Compared with the surrounding buildings that are only about ten meters tall, this white tower seems to reach straight into the sky, making viewers feel awe and worry, worrying about the devastating disaster that will happen if the tower collapses.
Twenty meters below, every brick and stone that makes up the white tower is clearly visible, similar to the ridge of a thick book, with brass inscriptions with different words and symbols on it. They rely on each other and support each other, and the higher the bricks go up
The smaller the stone, the thinner the ridge, and the inscription will be unclear.
It is difficult to see the top of the tower clearly, and the dome spire can only be seen a few hundred meters or even a thousand meters away.
There are streams of silver light flowing between the bricks and stones, which seems to symbolize the brain that is always thinking. The windows decorated with brass metal are different from the Loen style. They are somewhat flat and long, like eyes, observing everything indifferently.
The huge white tower stands in a wide square. Under the flying white doves, many scholars and people dressed as students gather together to talk loudly and express their opinions on a certain issue. In or near each group, there are
Several clergy from the Church of Knowledge either participated in the discussion or listened quietly.
Most of the people who enter and exit this holy tower are clergy members of the Church of Knowledge. They uniformly wear plain white robes and use brass threads to outline different symbols on them, including the "omniscient eye", books, and various languages.
There are various constellation symbols... It seems that the higher the status, the more symbols on it, the more wisdom contained in the eyes, and the richer the scholar's temperament.
Most of the few non-clergymen entered the Holy Tower under the leadership of clergy. If you observe carefully, you can find that these people often raise difficult questions that require bishops and archbishops to answer.
At the entrance of the Holy Tower, an old man with completely white hair but very neatly combed his hair came out. He was wearing a plain white robe inlaid with brass-colored silk threads. There were not many symbols on it, but his pair of gray-green eyes were deep and penetrating.
Before reaching the bottom, the clergy and believers coming in and out greeted him respectfully.
He is Luca Brewster, the Archbishop of the Church of Knowledge and the "Prophet" of Sequence 4.
His gray-green eyes swept across the wide square, and he walked south according to his hunch. Two or three minutes later, he saw a figure on the edge of the square.
The figure had black hair, brown eyes, and handsome features that did not match the characteristics of the locals. His clothes were also very conspicuous, wearing a formal black tuxedo and a royal blue tie, as if he was attending a grand banquet.
But this is the headquarters of the Church of Knowledge, the symbol of knowledge and wisdom - the Tower of Omniscience.
But this appearance and attire did not attract the attention of the people around him, as if there was no difference between him and the surrounding believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Luca's arrival undoubtedly attracted the attention of many believers. Although there were not many symbols on his plain white robe, his completely white hair, intelligent eyes, and scholarly temperament made these believers believe that this
At least a bishop.
Some believers have recognized his identity, Archbishop Luca Brewster.
The believers followed his gaze and discovered the figure standing among them that they had ignored for a long time.
I don't know why, but they seemed to have lost their voices all of a sudden and did not start the discussion according to their usual habits.
The crowd naturally separated into a small lane, and Rawls walked out of it, bowed slightly to Luca and said:
"Good afternoon, sir."
"Good afternoon, sir from Backlund, I am Luca Brewster." Luca pointed out the book on his chest with a smile on his lips.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
"I would like to see His Majesty Albert Mendoza."
Rawls was not surprised. He did not hide his appearance and accent. When facing a demigod detective, his identity was inferred to be normal, but he did not introduce himself to the other party.
"Your Majesty has informed me, please come with me."
Luka didn't take it seriously and stretched out his arm to follow him.
Rawls also relaxed slightly and followed him towards the white tower.
The believer behind him only showed a surprised look even when he mentioned Albert Mendoza. They waited until the two left to discuss it in a low voice, but returned to normal after a few seconds, seeming to have forgotten what had just happened.
.
"Lord Luca, is there any connection between the Holy Tower and the 'Tower' card in the Tarot?"
On the way, Rawls looked up at the majestic tower in front of him, and a sense of awe and worry arose in his heart, which was not in line with his strength.
If this was just an ordinary tower, he wouldn't need to expend much force to destroy it, and it would even be easier than destroying the farm when he was promoted. After all, this is a whole, and a single loophole is enough to destroy it.
"I'm afraid I have to ask Emperor Russell about this, but I think it should be related." Luca nodded slightly, stopped, covered his eyebrows with his right hand and looked up, "Among the twenty-two Tarot cards,'
The Tower is the only tarot card that has no good meaning, both positive and negative.
Although this aroused resentment and disgust among many believers when the Tarot cards were invented, as clergymen serving the God of knowledge and wisdom, we naturally know the truth contained in them. The more we learn knowledge, the more we will feel that our
Small and pitiable, and giving up knowledge will also bring terrible disasters."
"I thought you would think about it from an extraordinary perspective..." Rawls followed in his footsteps.
"There are still mostly ordinary people in the world. As an extraordinary person or a demigod, if you blindly think about problems from an extraordinary perspective, it will also lead to terrible consequences."
Luca warned in a teaching tone.
Although he was not sure whether Rawls was also a demigod.
Divinity and humanity?
Facing the teaching, Rawls nodded. He had a hunch that letting humanity occupy him would be a beneficial thing for him. This did not mean that he gave up divinity, but that in the later stages, divinity would only
will become more abundant.
After entering the White Holy Tower, Rawls originally thought that he would have to go to the top of the tower to see Albert Mendoza, but he only got to more than thirty meters before he saw this angel on earth.
As the Pope of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Albert Mendoza has a wise appearance that is generally recognized by the world. He has a long white beard hanging on his chest, white eyebrows hanging down to his cheeks, and all-white hair.
Only part of it was bound by a blue hairband with silver and brass patterns, and the rest was hanging down.
Among the thick beard and hair, except for a pair of ice blue eyes, the rest was ignored.
But when those ice-blue eyes, which seemed to be filled only with wisdom and rationality, stared at Rawls, he could feel the genial warmth, which was no different from the kind and loving eyes of an elder close to him.
She was wearing a plain white robe without any patterns, and a soft hat with the "Omniscient Eye" pattern on her head. She was sitting surrounded by a circular bookshelf, with immeasurable books behind her.
"Your Majesty." Luca Brewster bowed respectfully, drew the book on his chest, and said in a slightly fanatical tone, "Knowledge is noble!"
"Knowledge is sublime!"
Albert withdrew his gaze and returned the same greeting.
After Luca left, her slightly aged voice sounded again:
"We meet again, Mr. Rawls Adrian."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Can you tell me your purpose of coming?"
Rawls' brows jumped, and he said with some disbelief:
"As a 'cherubi', can't you deduce my intention?"
"No, kid..." Albert shook his head and took out a dark green book from the bookshelf, "That is just my inference. Even if it is exactly the same as your inner thoughts, there is still a big gap."
"The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world. One second you may feel grateful, and the next second you may feel resentful. Just like Russell, I always thought he would become an angel of the God of Steam and Machinery, but...
…”
She touched the book cover and sighed:
"Since then, I am no longer willing to speculate on people's true inner thoughts. If they are willing to tell me, then I will listen with the attitude of serving the gods. If they are unwilling, then I will not provide help."
So you just want to listen to the truth... Rawls complained in his heart, showing respect:
"Then I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."
"No, just like I don't care about your inner complaints just now..." Albert blinked his smiling eyes and regained his rational indifference.
The expression on Rawls's face froze. This is different from what you just said! Don't you know how to judge people's hearts?
"Ahem, before that, I want to ask Mian the next question."
"sure."
Albert made no intention of opening the book in his hand, and his fingers slid across the pages.
"When Dorothy told me that Madeleine had a son living in Loon, I was also surprised. When she disappeared, I even prayed to our Lord for the truth, but I didn't get a clear answer. I only came to one conclusion. , 'Time will give me the answer'.
I think the time has come now.
I have no doubt about your identity and bloodline, but before I see you I can’t give you what you want, I can only give you what you deserve.”
"Now that you see me, can you give me what I want?"
Although they only exchanged a few words, Rawls also relaxed and became less reserved.
"Okay, but you have to tell me what you want."
Albert looked at Rawls's doubtful expression, his beard trembled, and he said with a smile:
"Although I am a devout believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, I believe that even my God is not omniscient. Not to mention a little believer like me?"
"I can't see your heart clearly, nor can I see your destiny clearly. Before, it was just based on observation and experience."
She pointed to the ground and said in a deep voice:
"Before you arrived, I received a revelation from fate, asking me to leave the top of the tower and come here to prevent the sealed object from being in danger. If that thing really gets out of control, it will trigger a divine descent."
"Is it '0-01'?" Rawls' eyelids twitched.
"Yes, that is a terrible thing. Even I don't know her specific information. Such a dangerous existence can only be preserved by the kingdom of gods, but God gave her to us, and we cannot refuse."
