- The Holy City¡ªRabona, was once the largest and most prosperous city in this land.
It is the center of economy, culture, and religion. It is known as the safest place in the world and the pride of all mankind.
But now, it has declined to the point where it is difficult to even maintain law and order.
Due to the exodus of the population, large areas of the city have been completely reduced to ruins and ghosts, and only a small section near the central cathedral remains of the originally bustling market.
In order to better protect its own safety, the church even ordered the construction of a second city wall in the city.
As for the outermost layer, it has long been completely abandoned.
Even during the day, merchants and travelers only dared to approach the dilapidated gate under the escort of patrols.
¡°Otherwise, whether it¡¯s the monsters hiding in the ruins or the bandits entrenched in the old houses, they can easily kill them.
In addition, the church also abolished the original rule prohibiting the entry of large swords.
Because if there were no big swords to regularly clean out the demons hiding around, it is estimated that with the small population left in the city, all of them would have died long ago.
Therefore, the current church has already chosen to lie down and accept the cruel fact that it is declining and will eventually die.
Its top executives are also corrupting at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. With the wealth they have accumulated by playing with their beliefs, they live a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day.
The most typical example is the extra street near the church dedicated to special service industries, and the scantily clad young women standing at the street door.
You must know that ten years ago, this kind of service industry was explicitly prohibited in the Holy City.
Once caught, at best, you will be expelled, at worst, you may be burned on the rack and tortured.
but now¡¡
This has become the favorite place for church leaders and military officers to visit.
After all, smart people know that they will eventually die, so why not enjoy themselves in time?
Especially the huge wealth accumulated by the church, instead of ultimately taking advantage of others, it is better to spend it all now and enjoy food, wine and women.
In fact, people go from standing on the moral high ground to falling into the abyss of desire much faster than they think.
Although some bishops have tried to promote some laws to improve the situation, they have had little success, and in serious cases they have been assassinated by their subordinates.
The final result is that no one is willing to stand up and turn the tide, and everyone lies flat together.
Looking at the depressing streets and the "sisters" with heavy makeup and large white chests and thighs around them, Lackey was in shock, his face flushed and he stared down at his shoes.
How could he, who came from a small place, withstand such stimulation?
Allen was keenly aware of this, and immediately walked closer and joked: "Oh, there is a reaction. Do you want me to take you for a walk inside, and by the way, find two big sisters to help you transform from a boy to a man?"
"No no need!"
Lackey subconsciously clamped his legs and shook his head desperately, not even daring to look at Claire's face.
This time 75 zworg.com Zhang Si. "Relax, don't be so nervous. This is a normal physiological reaction. There is no need to be so shy. As I said, what's wrong with men being more lustful and perverted? If there is something wrong, it should be those who claim to have created human beings. Gods. They designed men to be like this."
Allen took the opportunity to start instilling fallacies into the poor boy again.
no way!
Who makes this little guy¡¯s reactions always so interesting?
And he has always wanted to know what Lackey's feelings for Claire are.
Do you regard her as your relative or sister?
Or are you simply grateful to the other party for taking you in, so that you won't end up dead on the streets?
Or is it an adolescent boy¡¯s ignorant impression of the opposite sex?
But it¡¯s a pity that even Lackey himself probably didn¡¯t understand this issue.
Just when Allen was teasing the boy in front of him unscrupulously, Claire finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped with a cold voice: "That's enough! What do you want to do? Why have you been following us?"
"There is no special purpose, just to kill the boring time. What's more, I didn't disturb your mission." Allen shrugged innocently.
"Asshole! What did Alina say? You kidnapped her!" Claire asked, suppressing the anger in her heart.
? ?sp; In addition, most clergymen also seriously lack the most basic reverence for the gods they believe in.
??????????????? Or, they simply regard God as a cover for deception, whose essence is just to make money and enjoy themselves.
Bishop Myers undoubtedly noticed the flash of contempt and disdain in the other party's eyes, and hurriedly explained with a wry smile: "Saint Rabona was not like this before. Our church used to have many devout clergy, including several Millions of believers. But since experiencing the horrific killings and turmoil ten years ago, everything has slipped towards the bottomless abyss."
"You mean the tragedy caused by the demon invasion?" Arturia asked in an uncertain tone.
"That's right! It was that horrific massacre that made almost all believers doubt the existence of God. Some radical people even believe that God does not exist and is a fictitious thing. Otherwise, why did he not perform miracles? Come and save the Holy City. Since then, large numbers of citizens have begun to flee with their families, feeling that this place has been cursed."
When he said these words, Bishop Myers' tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.
As a witness to the decline of the church, he was filled with despair and even wanted to commit suicide several times to find relief.
But when he thought that after his death, the entire Holy City would most likely fall apart in an instant, he had to give up such an idea and continue to hold on.
"Then why did you choose us? If I remember correctly, you should be our mortal enemy." Arturia raised a question that bothered her.
You must know that her visit this time was not requested by her, but an invitation from the Holy City Church.
"Because of faith! Although we believe in different gods and have very different doctrines, you at least have faith. In contrast, the West may be rich, but the lords and people there have no faith, and instead pursue greedily Money, power and material comfort." Bishop Myers gave his reasons without thinking.
From the perspective of someone like him who has lived in a religious atmosphere all his life, the ignorant people must have a god to unify the spiritual world, otherwise the entire society will inevitably fall into evil and be full of disputes and turmoil.
Since the God of the church is no longer good, let another God try.
"What are the conditions? Don't tell me, you are willing to give up the Holy City unconditionally." Arturia touched her chin with an interested expression.
Without saying a word, Bishop Myers took out the list he had prepared from his pocket and handed it over: "Here! This is all our conditions. If you agree, then from now on, all our clergy here will All were merged into the Holy Light Church, and the teachings of the Holy Light will be spread from now on."
Arturia took it, glanced at it twice, and returned it calmly: "Sorry, these terms are too complicated, I need a few days to think about it."
"No problem! I have arranged accommodation and delicious food for you and your entourage. You can eat something first, and then wash away the fatigue of the journey and have a good night's rest." With that, Bishop Myers gave a message behind him. The attendant made a gesture.
The latter understood the situation and immediately took Artoria and her group to the most gorgeous house not far from the cathedral.
That was the place where bishops met in the past to discuss the development direction of the church.
But with the crazy massacre ten years ago, bishops have almost become rare animals, so naturally there is no need to reserve such a large conference room.
So Bishop Myers simply ordered it to be transformed into a place specially used to entertain high-level visitors.
And the first person to live here was naturally the Great Sword who came to defeat the Awakened Ones.
The church, which had witnessed the terrifying power of the awakened ones, correctly realized for the first time the astonishing strength possessed by the organization. Since then, it has canceled the rule prohibiting the entry of great swords. At this time yu nx*u ange.o rg Zhang Si
Watching the Holy Light Church group disappear at the end of the corridor, Bishop Myers finally relaxed a little and asked without looking back: "What do you think of this saint and the young church knights behind her?"
"Very strong! Very, very strong! I can guarantee that if this saint takes action, there will never be a single living person in the entire cathedral." A woman whose whole body was covered under a hood replied softly.
"Oh? How about compared with you?" Bishop Myers was obviously a little surprised.
"If she wants, she can crush me to death at any time like an ant. Bishop, please don't test me anymore. The power of the Holy Light Church is beyond what you and I can guess. So give up your unrealistic ideas. , and proceed honestly as planned. In addition, I have to perform a mission in the next few days and cannot stay in the Holy City. You'd better be careful. You must know that there are many demons and monsters in the ruins outside the city. Awakener." The woman warned solemnly.
"Damn it! Can't you just clean them all up?"
"No! That will arouse the suspicion of the organization." Zhida org.com Zhixiao
With the last word blurted out, the woman disappeared directly from the place. Even Bishop Myers didn't know what method the other party used
