- Chapter 280: Chief Referee
The huge, melodious and long bells filled the air from the center of Duanlong City, like water patterns breaking the silent water surface, spreading to the surroundings of Duanlong City, and countless bells rang.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the entire Broken Dragon City, telling the residents in the city that the Lord of Light will sleep, all things in the world will rest, and the earth will enter the dominion of night.
The working people put down their work and went home, the soldiers who were practicing also stopped training, and the hurried pedestrians stopped and closed their eyes to pray, praising the Lord of Light for giving them a happy and fulfilling life for a day. When the prayer was over, they all Embarking on the road home, like a bird returning to its nest.
Over thousands of years, this city has become accustomed to the life of getting up and returning after hearing the bell.
The prayer bell and the church are the most obvious symbols of the Holy See.
As long as the power of the Holy See exists, these two things must exist. The former represents the teachings of the Lord of Light, like a warning bell that rings continuously, while the latter is the place of repentance for the world, and it is also the last refuge of devout believers. .
When the Falcano Empire was founded, it received strong support from the Holy See.
After the establishment of the Facano Empire, the Vacano Empire needed to rely on the spirit of the Holy See to stabilize the domestic turmoil, and the Vatican needed to rely on the behemoth of the Vacano Empire to develop followers. The two hit it off, and the founding emperor of the Vacano Empire, Vacano I, Established the Holy See as the state religion and claimed it to be the only legitimate religion in the Falcano Empire.
For thousands of years, the Vacano Empire has been able to double its territory under the watchful eyes of the two overlords, the Germanic Empire and the Hussars Empire, and the Holy See plays a vital role in it.
As the number of believers increases, the power of the Holy See expands faster than that of the Phalcano Empire, because the Phalcano Empire is limited to one country and one place, but the Holy See does not care about the land, they only care about faith and believers. After those people accepted the Holy See's ideas and became devout believers, they would naturally obediently donate their property and even their lives.
The missionaries of the Holy See have spread to every corner of the continent of Dalaran. It has been rumored that even the most stubborn dwarves, the most maverick elves, and the most exclusive barbarians in the world have converted to the throne of the Lord of Light. It can be seen that the Holy See How powerful are missionaries?
The power of the whole world and the power of the whole country are naturally not the same concepts.
In the Falcano Empire, the divine power and the imperial power can almost be said to go hand in hand, with faint signs of even being superior. The contradiction between the two is constantly intensifying, and there are signs of replacing the contradiction between the poor class and the aristocratic class. .
But these are all things of the past. On the day when the Kassan volcano suddenly erupted, everything changed.
It was like a meteorite falling from the sky, hitting the seemingly clear, but actually rotten, rotten pond in the Vacano Empire, stirring up a stream of stinking muddy water, let alone a mortal's. Wisdom, even if the Lord of Light comes in person, he cannot clearly see how much murderous intention is contained in it.
The army of demons has never appeared in large numbers in ten thousand years, the princes and grandsons are sharpening their swords and preparing to fight for power, the Germanic Empire and the Hussars Empire are gathering together with soldiers, and the Holy See secretly controls most of the lifeblood of the Vacano Empire.
Even the Holy See itself is in turmoil.
The Kasan volcano drowned not only millions of subjects of the Phalcano Empire, but also countless believers of the Lord of Light. In the face of the power of heaven and earth that seemed to destroy the world, the Lord of Light not only did not appear, but even gave no hint. He was stingy and did not give his most devout believers. This was the biggest doubt of those devout believers who escaped from death. Without exception, these devout believers who escaped from death became the apostates of the Lord of Light. As the saying goes, ¡°What¡¯s the use of believing in a god who can¡¯t protect his followers?¡±
Under the guidance of a caring person, it is like a sharp invisible sword, stabbing the Holy See's usual teachings to pieces. The Holy See is facing the greatest crisis in history - a crisis of faith. This crisis has caused half of the foot to have been The Pope, who was separated from the vassal of life and death, also felt cold in his heart.
Faith is the foundation of the Holy See. If this matter cannot be solved alone, the entire Holy See will fall apart. Just thinking about it makes people feel numb all over.
However, only the big shots at the top of the Holy See can feel this crisis. More believers in the Holy See are still living their lives step by step, especially all the churches in Broken Dragon City are in a rare state of busyness. Day and night, countless believers and non-believers flock to the church to pray.
With the continuous increase of troops in the Iron-blooded Fort of the German Empire, even a fool can smell the smell of war, not to mention these border residents in Broken Dragon City. Now, regardless of whether they are just cramming or not, these border residents enter the church to pray.Just for peace of mind.
As a large military city, Duanlong City cannot only have one church. The largest one is called St. Paul's Church. It was the first one to ring the bell. It is located in the center of the entire Duanlong City, and its geographical location is It fully illustrates its nobility.
The prayer bell of St. Paul's Church is also a unique and beautiful sight in Dragon Broken City. It is more than ten meters high and seven meters in diameter. It is the largest bell in the world. Its sound can be heard for hundreds of miles. It must be operated by a warrior at the peak of the golden rank. Only those who are qualified to ring it, because ordinary people who do not have fighting spirit to protect their bodies or even people with slightly inferior fighting spirit cultivation will be shocked to death by the terrible sound it makes if they stand too close to the bell.
Eighty percent of the materials used to make it are gold, and the entire bell is gleaming with golden light. Especially when bathed in the morning light, it is a beautiful scenery. There are rumors that when this giant golden bell was cast, all the materials All came from donations from devout believers. Not only did it not cost the Holy See a penny, it also allowed the Holy See to earn several more bells of gold.
St. Paul's Church is built of pure white jade. This kind of stone is rare and valuable in granite and marble. It has a strong compatibility with the holy light. As long as a magician with a little practice is using it, This kind of magic can be used in a stone church to make the entire church radiate bright golden light, which can have unimaginable effects when used to educate those ignorant people.
However, it is absolutely rare for St. Paul's Cathedral to have its floor made of white jade. It can only be compared to the Pesaro Cathedral where the Pope is seated. Its level of luxury is definitely among the best in the Holy See. .
Ellen is the most honorable archbishop of St. Paul's Cathedral and the supreme leader of the Holy See in Dragon City. Everyone who knows him praises him as a loving and kind old man who is worthy of the title of servant of God.
However, he also has an identity in the Holy See that few outsiders know - the Grand Magistrate of the Inquisition.
That¡¯s right, just like the Inquisition, which is known for its blood, violence, darkness, and cruelty, and whose lifelong mission is to investigate traitors to the Holy See and eliminate heretics.
Martialism prevailed in the German Empire, and imperial power was above all else. It was very difficult for the Holy See to preach in the country. In the Inquisition, these barbarians who refused to submit to the religion were naturally heretics. The Inquisition established its headquarters in Dragon Dragon City. The intention was to use the German Empire as its long-term combat goal.
What's more, if these executioners are placed in Pesaro, most people in the Holy See will have trouble sleeping and eating!
When the bells ended, Ellen also ended the day's evening classes. Under the service of two young and beautiful female priests who were as timid as little turtle doves, she soaked in the bathtub that was still bubbling with bubbles. He let out a sigh of contentment, waved his hands gently and said, "You all go down!"
"Yes!" The two female priests hurriedly retreated as if they had been granted amnesty. The strong smell of blood on his body was like a viscous liquid, giving them the illusion that they would suffocate to death over time.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, before they had time to completely relax, they burst like two blown balloons. Strangely, the blood did not disperse, as if there was an invisible pipe guiding it, and it was injected into Ellen's body. In the bathtub, the clear bath water suddenly turned blood red, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood that could not be eliminated.
The blood stirred like a whirlpool, swirling around Ellen. Within a few breaths, the blood in the bath water disappeared, and it was even clearer than before. There were only a few strands of blood on Ellen's skin like blood worms. It drilled downwards and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The two female priests who were alive a minute ago have now turned into two rickety mummies that seemed to have lost water for thousands of years. With the breeze blowing outside the door, they instantly turned into a pile of dust and disappeared between heaven and earth.
This is a method only possessed by demons.
In Ellen's half-opened eyes, the light of blood flashed away, and he said in a cold voice: "If you can't bear even a little bit of blood evil energy, what's the use of such a waste? Don't recruit such a waste in the future, the tribunal wants These are elite warriors, not a waste concentration camp."
"Yes, sir!" For some reason, a tall man in black armor was already kneeling on one knee in front of Ellen. There was a looming blood on his body, which was exactly the same as Ellen's.
"Punishment?" Ellen Jiejie said with a weird smile, "You are my favorite subordinate, how can I be willing to punish you?"
The three words "favorite" were bitten very hard, filled with a sweetness that cannot be described in words. It was like a girl acting coquettishly to her relatives, which made the immobile black-armored man tremble slightly involuntarily. What a thought. What unpleasant horrible memories came up.
Seeing the man in black armorIn response, the smile on Ellen's face became even bigger, like a child who saw a lost toy, or like a cat catching a mouse, "Lilin, my favorite subordinate, my favorite Outstanding student, what brought you back? If I remember correctly, you should be in the German Empire now? As a teacher, it is a very happy thing to see your favorite student come back. , but as a boss, I think you should give me a small explanation! Oh, a slightly smoother explanation is enough, how can I be willing to punish you? My most beloved student!"
"This subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish me!" Li Lin's head lowered even lower, almost touching the ground.
"So, what I told you to do failed?"
"Yes, sir, my subordinates were a step late. By the time I arrived, the Black Skeletons and the remaining elite members of the Black Skeleton Horse Thieves had been slaughtered. Just an hour ago, their heads were also sent to the mercenaries. Military station!"
"They are just a group of little horse thieves. They originally wanted to make use of the waste! If they are killed, just kill them! Which mercenary group did it? Although he is a waste, that guy Black Skeleton is still a waste with some strength. , the brilliant level peak knight is not something that ordinary people can kill! When did a group of decent guys appear near Broken Dragon City? Are those bastards below slacking off recently? Although there are indeed a lot of outsiders in Broken Dragon City recently, but We can¡¯t lose control to this extent.¡±
"Replying to your lord, it's not the Black Skeleton Horse Thief Group that was annihilated by a certain mercenary group, but a certain person!" A strange look flashed across Lilin's face, "That guy's fighting spirit is not particularly strong, at most he is. He was of gold rank, but his physical power and intensity were incredibly powerful, like a dragon in human skin. The elites of the black skeleton horse thieves were completely slaughtered in front of him, even the black ones. The skeleton also failed to seriously injure the opponent."
"A dragon in human skin?" Ellen's eyes suddenly lit up, and an unnatural blush appeared on his cheeks. He breathed a little more quickly, and inadvertently let out that sweet moan like a cat meowing in spring. If This kind of moaning sound comes from a beautiful girl, and it may still make people upset, but when it comes from the mouth of a bearded man, it is a bit creepy, "Such an interesting little guy , just listening to it already makes me excited, I can¡¯t wait to meet him, where is he now?¡±
"The black hand slave market of the black market!"
"Where is that damn fat pig who refuses to listen to the teachings of the gods and dares to ask for payment from the servants of the gods?" A hint of coldness flashed across Ellen's face, "That guy couldn't have taken a fancy to the group of hammer dwarves. Right? Then our tribunal has already ordered the goods!"
As the underground king of Broken Dragon City, Ellen naturally knows everything about the shipment of a group of Hammer Dwarf slaves from the black market, and he also knows their value clearly. Nearly a thousand Hammer Dwarf craftsmen, even if they bring the entire The number of craftsmen gathered by the Holy See is only this number, but the quality between the two is completely incomparable. If he takes it into his own hands, the strength of the Inquisition will definitely increase several times, even if he can create a transcendent Paladin. It's not difficult to get armor equipment.
Ellen once expressed his intention to Jon in the Black Hand Slave Market through a secret channel. What made him extremely angry was that the fat guy like a pig actually replied that without half a million gold coins, these hammer dwarves He will never take action.
Damn it!
In his imagination, as long as he reveals a little bit of his meaning to the other party as the chief judge of the Inquisition, the other party should send those hammer dwarves to his door crying and begging him to take them back, but this damn thing The guy actually asked him for money!
This is an absolutely unforgivable act of blasphemy.
"If it weren't for his identity that needed to be kept secret, or if it wasn't for the fact that the other party is currently in Broken Dragon City. If it weren't for the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke in Broken Dragon City who was not very interested in the Holy See, he would definitely send the other party to the stake with his own hands and turn him into a roasted pig with human flesh.
It is absolutely impossible for Ellen to pay for the Hammer Dwarf on his own, and Jon is a typical master who respects money but not people. Let alone the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, even if the Lord of Light comes in person, it will not be possible. Don't even think about taking a penny away from his hand.
Therefore, Allen said that the group of hammer dwarves are the goods favored by the director of the Inquisition. Jon is not afraid of the power of the Inquisition for gold coins, but it does not mean that others are not afraid. Therefore, the hammer dwarves definitely count. The most sought-after slaves were forcefully suppressed in his hands. For more than ten days, not even one of them could be sold. If Lei Dong had not jumped out and bought them, this situation would have continued to be a stalemate. In the end, I'm afraid it's most likely that Jon's obedient hands will send the Hammer Dwarf up.
How could Ellen not be angry that someone dared to know what he had in his pocket?
But soon Ellen himself laughed slyly: "That's good! If he really gets these hammer dwarves out of the hands of that fat pig, maybe it will save us a lot of accidents. Change! Hehe As long as he leaves Broken Dragon City, everything is out of his control! Oh, this is really a genius idea, why didn¡¯t I think of it earlier? If I had known better, I shouldn¡¯t have let the word out, but let those who are unwilling to listen to the Lord The heretics who taught here paid to buy those Hammer Dwarves, and then we eliminated the heretics. What a bargain. Fortunately, we are not playing with it now! Hehe"
Ellen's eyes wandered around, glanced at Li Lin who was still kneeling on the ground, and sneered: "Get up, I have no intention of training you to be a kowtowing bug."
"Thank you, Your Excellency, the Chief Judge!" Lilin responded meticulously, with the utmost respect in his words and expression, because he clearly knew how crazy and fickle the man in front of him was, even if it was a June day. Describing him as less than one-tenth, he turned into dust because of a small disrespect or caused the other party's dissatisfaction. The previous two female priests were not the first or the last. At least he didn't want to become the next one. A person, so caution, prudence, and respect are a must in his presence.
Ellen¡¯s next words made Lilin¡¯s knees that he had just carefully raised kneel down firmly again, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard all the way, come over and take a dip together!¡±
Lilin felt as if ten thousand caterpillars had crawled in through the gaps in the armor on his neck. Every inch of his skin was stinging like needles, which made his hair stand on end. Ellen's slightly "sexy" smile was enough to match the devil's. The smile was comparable to Lin Hui's, and Lin Hui's intestines turned blue. Can't he choose when to report to work? If you insist on choosing a time when the other person is taking a bath, isn't this just sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
"Alas, my little Lilin has become bolder after going out for a trip?" Ellen's face showed no trace of annoyance, only a cold look of amusement. He looked down at Lilin condescendingly and said lightly, " The manpower loss in the imperial capital is too great, and even the person in charge has turned into charcoal under the magma. I need someone who can be trusted and obedient to serve as the person in charge there"
The rest is speechless.
Lilin, who had not raised his head to look at Ellen since entering, finally raised his head and looked directly at him. After a while, he slowly lowered his head, then stood up, expressionlessly taking off his armor, like a statue. A machine golem that has lost its soul.
Soon there was a moan like a cat meowing in spring from inside the house. It was almost late autumn outside the house, the air was freezing and there was no hint of spring.
