Chapter 282 [Legacy of History]

The other party lost a great deal, a magician, in front of Queen Medusa, didn't even hold on to a face and was instantly killed. The remaining casualties and injuries, most importantly, were also seriously injured by the leading Knight Gpeid of the Seventh Class, and the rest of the small boats were defeated.

Dewey didn't order the pursuit, and Maximus didn't seem to have asked Dewey to order the pursuit, so he let them escape with a wolf.

Maximus, on the other hand, made a strange request to Dewey to put back the two survivors he had captured.

The deputy bishop of Ramses seemed somewhat dissatisfied, and when he returned to his cabin, he could not help complaining to Maximus: “My bishop… why are you still so kind? Don't you see, they've decided to put you to death! Alas... even if you don't want to kill too much, you don't want to kill too much. But at least a few live animals were caught, and we could take them to the Emperor and confront him in front of His Holiness. By then, those who do nothing will feel like they can't do anything wrong. ”

Maximus listened, just smiled slightly, and patted Vice Bishop Rams on the shoulder: "My old friend, it's not that simple. ”

And then he didn't explain much, but he looked at Dewey: “Grand Duke Tulip, today you've seen some ugliness in the temple. But believe me, these are just a handful of evil people, and most of the clergy are still bathed in the glory of God and pure. ”

Dewey smiled indifferently: "Well, I don't really care. It's just that I prefer the position of Deputy Bishop Ramses, why let go of the live ones? ”

Maximus was gloomy and then looked at the old cigarettes behind Dewey and others. Dewey immediately asked the old cigarette guard to step back and have some tea rearranged.

Above the deck outside, naturally there were sailors and guards cleaning the battlefield, and that Rhine, who showed great power to surprise Dewey. Dewey became more and more fond of this fierce general, and ordered that a new set of knight armor be found from the cabin to be given to this guy, and smiled at Rhine: “Knight Rhine, I admire your courage very much. In order to express my friendship, I would like to give you a gift. Well, I see the weapon you're using, that big axe, though sharp, but it just broke, and to be honest, I personally don't think your martial arts are suitable for this kind of thing, I want to give you a weapon, so that in the future when you fight, it will be more convenient. ”

Rhine was happy to hear it, but then grabbed her hair in agony: "Duke, but... I've tried a lot of weapons, and they weigh too little. This is the axe... Alas, it's just barely used, if the weight can be doubled again, it's almost there. ”

Dewey smiled: "You may not know that I have a shop in Didu that specializes in making special weapons, and if you like, when you get back to Didu, you can look where you want to go, and I promise I'll get you something you like. ”

Later, Rhine also resigned, leaving two bishops in the room, Duwey and I.

“Lord Maximus, now I think we need to talk.” Dewey sat down with a smile on his face: "Personally, I don't want to be involved in the inner dispute of the temple, but today, even if I want to hide now, it's too late, right? So now that I'm in the Bureau, I think I have the right to know. ”

Maximus had no expression on his face, and he looked at Rams for a moment, and Rams would nodded, and said, “Duke, what do you know about the history of the Temple of Light? ”

“History?” Dewey frowned and thought, "I think I still know a little bit, just that I know that most of it comes from history books —— but, I think, let's be honest, history books are something that I've always felt unreliable to, and people who often write history books inevitably lie in order to beautify history.” After a pause, he and the two bishops looked at each other with a smile on their minds, and Dewey continued: “Well, the history of the Temple, I know it should have been a long time, but it was officially written that it should have started before 961, when the Empire of Roland was founded. In the process of unifying the continent and establishing the Roland Empire, His Majesty the Great Aragon (referring to Aragon, who said ‘great’ in his mouth, but could not help but curse ‘bastards’ in his heart) received much help from the Church of Light, and in return His Majesty the Founding Emperor, after the founding of the State, recognized the Divine Spirit of Light as the only State religion and the only legitimate religion of the Empire. It was also from that time onwards that the Church of Light acquired its statutory orthodox status. That is, the same year that the Roland Empire was founded, the Temple of Light was officially established, with its headquarters in Imperial Capital. Until then, though the Church of Light had always existed... but with all due respect, before the reunification of the mainland, the Church of Light had no orthodox status on the mainland. At that time, there was a lot of paganism on the mainland, right? ”

Rams nodded: “The Duke knows a lot about history, and you're right, the book... does say that. It is arguably the Church of Light that assisted His Majesty the Aragon in unifying the continent, and His Majesty the Aragon helped the Church of Light to attain its only orthodox status on the continent. ”

“This is a win-win result.” Dewey smiled.

“It's hard for outsiders to know that these are things that, after all, are not recorded in books that circulate outside.” Rams sighed: "But, Duke, it's not that simple, if you're interested… I might tell you a few historical stories. ”

Dwihaha laughed: "Story? Good. My favorite part is listening to stories. ”

Rams coughed and slowly began to say:

“Nine hundred and sixty-first years of the history of the Temple of Light is right. But the church has existed for far more than that. Since when was the specific Church of Light established, it is now untested. It is true, however, that before the reunification of the Roland Empire, there was not only one Church of Light on the continent. Many religious worshippers are not goddesses of light... Oh, may the great gods forgive them, those poor heathens. Well, to be honest, um... in fact, the history of the Church of Light is a long story, and speaking of assisting His Majesty Aragon in reunifying the continent in that year, we have to mention one person, His Majesty the First Pope in the history of our Church of Light, His Majesty Micheus Lemuja Badolos. Oh, the name is a bit of a cliche, but when the descendants mention this great sire, they will all have a kind name for him, and we will all call him 'the wise Mayhews’ or ‘the prophet Mayhews’.

Prior to the reunification of the Roland Empire, there were many religions on the continent, but one of the largest was still our Church of Light. Unfortunately... our Church of Light is one of the most believers, but not the most powerful. Because, at that time, the Church of Light, there was no unity within, even signs of division, after all, because, although everyone believed in the great Goddess of Light, there were some differences in the understanding of the doctrine, as well as a great deal of ambiguity about how to spread the Goddess of Light doctrine... "

Speaking of which, Dewey laughed in the heart: any difference in understanding the doctrine is a crowned word, nothing more than an uneven distribution of interests and powers.

“At that time, there were three factions within the Church of Light: the Yeni, the Mossad and the Montenegrin. Among them, the Yenis advocate a cruel approach to paganism, while the Yenis believe that the power of the Church should prevail over kings and secular power, that divine power should prevail over all, that divine power should be the only dominion in the world and that all those who dare to challenge the authority of the Church should be eliminated by force… Well, these claims are too brutal for us. Mossadism advocates the dissemination of faith in an indoctrinated and persuasive way, and Maximus and I, by the way, are both Mossadians. We advocate for the upbringing of ourselves, for the greatness of the Goddess doctrine, to serve people, and we advocate that the Church should remain pure and should not have any intersection with secular power. ”

When Dewey heard about it, he said to himself, "What Yenni and Mosa are just so-called hawks and pigeons?"

And thinking about it, he asked, “So, what about the Montenegrin pie? ”

“The Montenegrin faction was a relatively small school at the time, but his strength was the most powerful, because the Montenegrin faction was a typical cult, advocating painstaking, not interfering in anything outside, trying to improve its understanding of the Goddess doctrine, and not caring about the outside world at all. So they are also known as the ‘cultivators’ or ‘hermits’, who are small in number, but because of the hardest cultivation, the magicians among the Montenegrins are the most powerful. They generally have no quarrel with the world, as long as they do not interfere in their own practice, and they are not willing to participate in anything outside - but if there are enemies of the Church of Light, that is the only weakness of the Montenegrin faction, and if there are those who dare to threaten the security of the Church, the Montenegrin faction will destroy all enemies who dare to challenge the Church with great strength. So the Montenegrins can also be regarded as the Church's greatest guardian, although their proposition is not active aggression, but passive defense. ”

“The three factions fought for hundreds of years, but mostly the dispute between the Yeni and Mossad factions, while the Montenegrins were largely neutral. But about a thousand years ago, things changed. ‘Smart Matthews' showed up, he showed up, changed everything. ”

Dewey nodded, “I presume I understand, this Messiah, the first Pope, whose emergence united intra-Church strife? And then His Majesty the Aragon formed an alliance? ”

“Probably so, His Majesty Matthews was extremely intelligent, powerful in his divinity, and a brilliant leader by nature, legend that he was versatile, friendly, persuasive, and possessed a strong personality charm. Under his efforts, the three genres within the Church of Light were finally united by him… of course, or, 'temporarily’, united. After forming a united force, the army of the Roland Empire, with the help of the followers of the Church of Light scattered throughout the continent, was overwhelmed, with the help of the Church of Light everywhere. Soon, the Roland Empire unified the continent, while His Majesty formally established the Empire, while Kebaru was the first emperor of the Empire, and declared the Church of Light the only legitimate religion on the continent of Roland all other religions were evil heathens. ”

Dewey couldn't help but ask: "So... which genre is this Messiah, Your Majesty? Mossad or Yenni? Or the Montenegrin pie? ”

When asked, Rams and Maximus looked at each other and were bitter at the same time.

“No one knows.” Maximus, who has been silent, sighed: “That is the problem, which has led to more than 900 years of internal quarrel in the Temple of Light! ”

Dewey was somewhat surprised: "Why? ”

“Because until now, no one can be sure which school His Majesty is from.” Rams sighed, too: "and it was documented that His Majesty, the Messiah himself, had never publicly admitted himself to being a member of any genre, that he had kept his mouth shut and that no one else could compel him to ask. ”

“If we can be sure of His Majesty's school, then I'm afraid the Temple will not have had internal strife for more than 900 years, not knowing how much blood has been shed over the past 900 years... nor how many so-called ‘heretics’ have been burned on the pillars of fire outside the Temple of Emperor Du... Alas..." Maximus sighed long and gloomy.
