. In this way, after dealing with a bad priest who didn¡¯t know what to do. I held Index's hand and walked out of Academy City. There are no more obstacles along the way. Finally, he successfully connected with the responding Dark Knight.
After that, we flew to Tokyo International Airport in the latest military helicopter. Transferred to a special plane and flew all the way back to Jerusalem.
I have said before that if my cheap dad can¡¯t control me, then no one in Jerusalem will care about me. Recently, I have obtained some rights to the Dark Knights and the Royal Knights. I feel more comfortable doing things, and I also have an intuitive idea of ??how strong the state church in Jerusalem is.
How strong is the State Church in Jerusalem? Before this, I only knew that the state church was very strong. But how strong is strong?
????????? Almost, well, just very strong.
It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t know the situation now, but I don¡¯t know how to explain it. So I am making an inappropriate analogy here: using half of the power of the church, you can easily destroy the entire earth. And it is possible to use all the power of the church to instigate a rebellion against heaven - of course, the end will probably be bleak.
Although there is no explanation, in my eyes, the state church has some sense of separation of powers. King and Pope and Master of the Royal Order of Knights. Naturally, he is the unwavering spiritual + practical leader of the state religion. Under the king, the state church was divided into three factions:
Ranked first, as a representative of the ultimate force. It is also the most familiar force to the outside world. It is the Royal Knights. It has many members and many experts. And every move was made in plain sight - the king also served as the leader of the knights.
Its members are collectively called the Royal Knights. The knight captain sat down and divided into two deputy captains, sixteen district captains, and thirty-two deputy captains. Not to mention the remaining brigades, squadrons and detachments. An English Puritan gold medal thug like Steele, with a double red stick, was at the level of a vice-captain.
The behavior of the Royal Knights has even given people the illusion that the Jerusalem State Church is the Royal Knights themselves. Two sets of brands and one team of people. This is actually not true.
Because, in addition to the Royal Knights, the state church also controls another armed force that is not inferior to it. That is, the Dark Knights.
Wherever there is light, there is the Royal Knights. Where the light doesn't shine, the Dark Knight takes over. The Dark Knights are not as ostentatious as the Royal Knights. Instead, he hides his every move in darkness. Engage in various shady activities.
Laura¡¯s guess before was not wrong. The Dark Knights are indeed conducting research on heretical magic. But what she guessed was not complete - the Dark Knights did not simply conduct research on heretical magic, but all its members were heretical magicians!
After all, the work the Dark Knights do is shady (in every sense of the word). Assassination, kidnapping, threats, blackmail, theft. Although everything is done in the name of heaven on earth. The sins of the Dark Knights will also be dissipated because of their achievements, and in the end their souls will also go to heaven. but¡¡
You can¡¯t use the Holy Light to carry out assassinations, right? No matter how enlightened Mr. Jehovah is. Such a sin is also unforgivable.
Therefore, from the beginning of its formation, all members of the Dark Knights have received heretical magic training. At best it sounds like fighting fire with fire, but at worst it means collaborating with others. However, among the real high-level magicians in various countries, they are probably more afraid of them than the Royal Knights.
Except for the two major knights of light and darkness. The state church in Jerusalem also included a large corps of clergy. This number is quite large and not easy to determine. Because the number of clerics is growing every day - it is almost equal to the entire population of Jerusalem!
??????????????????????????? As my cheap ancestor said in that life: From top to bottom in Jerusalem, from old to young, there are devout believers and wise priests. This is no joke - don't forget that state priests can get married and have children.
The total base is so huge (Jerusalem is the largest in the world in terms of territory and the second in total population, second only to a certain dynasty), and natural talents are emerging in an endless stream. Various new inventions - whether scientific or magical, have made achievements. If the people of Jerusalem hadn't refused the Nobel Prizehehe.
In addition to the huge grassroots, the strength of the top priests is also quite impressive. It¡¯s just that the vast majority of them are masters in theory and have little practical experience. However, it is perfect to serve as a mentor to teach the new knights.
However, this does not include the two cardinals (papal assistants) and the archbishops of the sixteen dioceses. However, they are all appointed by retired Royal Knights or Dark Knights who are over the age.
Although the physical strength of the bishops is not what it used to be. But with strong practical experience, people like Gerrard or LeonardThis thing is really no match for them.
Here is a brief introduction to the forces of the state religion. You almost understand why I am not afraid of the threat of Steele, right?
I really don¡¯t need to be afraid. There are a lot of guys with the strength of Steele in the state religion. Nothing.
And Lola's strength is indeed very good, but whether she can defeat those two cardinals is still a question - even if Lola is really defiant. He can beat two cardinals one by one. But what about the other Puritan clergy? We, the Knights of Light and Darkness, together with the high-ranking priests of the Anglican Church, can kill you in a group fight.
So I concluded that Laura would have to knock out her front teeth and blood swallow this time. I robbed Index, so she would probably just accept it. Of course, there will definitely be some revenge in the future. But that's for the future - besides, even if she takes revenge, can she go on to murder her husband? !
However, after returning to Jerusalem, I began to worry again. Naturally, the things that the little nun remembers are not numerous. But the collar around his neck is the real thing that kills him. According to my speculation, this is Laura's final method to control Index.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Unexpectedly, the English Puritan actually owns this kind of thing - no, it is not so much an item of the English Puritan, it is better to say it belongs to Laura herself. According to Cheap Daddy, her strength is too inconsistent with the English Puritanism. He was even worried that she would be dissatisfied and start a war.
What are you doing? If you are such an idiot, you can solve it in one go. Maybe if the crown prince touches his head, Laura will behave like a cat.
"It's just that the curse cast by this little kitten (tentatively) doesn't seem to be easy to solve What I specialize in is various spells used in combat. There are attack defense, auxiliary attack, and auxiliary defense. But for the purely auxiliary aspect Haha, I'm really sorry.
Speaking of which, within the state church, the two cardinals Urban and Clement are probably the best at this. If the two of them take action, they can solve this collar in about a minute - of course, Index will also be solved easily.
¡°After all, it¡¯s the last century¡well, no, it¡¯s an antique left over from the last century. Normally, it would be fine to let them turn a blind eye to the Dark Knight. But after seeing Index, the mobile heretic library, I could imagine what would happen with my toes.
Therefore, I chose the second option, Dark Knights. After all, I am from the Royal Knights. The royal knights there probably don't understand auxiliary magic as well as I do.
So, after I got off the plane, I took Index non-stop to the National Security Bureau (which is where the Dark Knights Headquarters is located, there are really two sets of brands and one team).
After spending a few days with Index, I finally understood how to raise this loli. Lots of feed, whatever it is. As long as she can eat it, she will eat it in one bite. Once your stomach is full, it won't mess with you. In a sense, it is quite easy to live on (provided there is enough money).
In this way, staff meals for one hundred people were prepared according to my instructions. I took the deputy leader Roger and went aside to whisper - the leader Raymond went to the palace for a meeting. It is said to be allocating the fiscal budget for the next year. He will probably fight with Gerrard again.
When I explained my purpose, I saw Roger¡¯s eyes light up. How else can we say that money fascinates the eyes, and wealth moves people's hearts. Roger is usually a very steady person (with such a neurotic boss, it is impossible not to be steady). When I heard about this, it was no different from a bullfight in heat.
"In other words, one hundred and three thousand forbidden magical books are in this girl's head?!" At this moment, Bullfight was looking at Index who was eating with red eyes and breathing heavily. That look in his eyes made it look like he was going to eat Index alive.
"Hey, let me state this in advance. I want to keep this girl as an orphan. Don't even think about touching her." I rolled my eyes.
"Ah hahaha, I understand, I understand Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have reached this age Ah, it's great to be young." Roger smiled with "I understand" on his face, and patted my shoulder vigorously while smiling.
"You are making this kind of laughter. I will send you to Siberia to preach to polar bears." I snorted lightly. Roger stopped laughing immediately. He put on a sad face.
"How about it? Can the conditions mentioned by Gu Shu be met?" I then asked.
"It's a bit difficult." Roger said with a frown.
¡°What¡¯s the problem?!¡± I asked.
"If you want us to take out the library safely, of course there is no problem (rapid freezing + super knife skills + precise surgery to give you a living brain"?. But if you want to protect that girl from harm at the same timethis is a bit"
"Don't show off! If you can, just say you can. If not, I'll leave immediately and take her to the Royal Knights!" I rolled my eyes and said the most effective threat directly.
"Yes! Of course I can! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his destiny, and I, Lao Luo, will go up to the mountain of swords and into the sea of ??fire, that is without hesitation. What does a mere automatic secretary mean?!
¡ª¡ªYou must never go to the Royal Knights. It's not like you don't know who are there. Big chest (muscles) and no brains. The girl was put in their hands and returned with probably only her brain left. "
¡That was your original idea. I looked at him with contempt.
