Chapter 1952 "Hall Strait Agreement", The End of the Glorious Holy See (Monthly Ticket Plus 4 Updates)

Really?

Has total war really begun?

Gretel stood in the teacher's half-plane, trying to open his eyes wide, hoping to see what was going on outside through the wall of lightning. Fight now? No more waiting, no more development for a while?

The number of legends in the Council has just reached the same level as that of the Glorious Holy See. In terms of combat power, accumulation, and inventory at the bottom of the box, it may not be able to catch up with others!

Even if we catch up, are equal, or slightly surpass, this is not a reason to start a war now!

The power of the Parliament must far exceed that of the Holy See, to the extent of two or three times, and then it can unite its allies and push it forward in one go!

If he fights now, how much damage will be caused to the Council... Teachers, senior brothers and sisters, the legendary mages he knows, he doesn't know how many people will be injured, how many people will die...

do not!

Wait a minute! Another delay!

He hasn't advanced to Legend yet. He has no idea how to treat a Legend when it's injured or how to bring him back from the brink of death!

Grete tried his best to observe and listen, but half the plane was sealed tightly by lightning. He could neither see nor hear anything no matter what was going on outside.

The less he could see and hear, the more nervous and worried he became. His breathing became faster and faster every minute, and his palms were wet with cold sweat——

"Now do you know what to worry about?"

Suddenly, a clear, gentle voice with a hint of ridicule floated down leisurely. The voice was very familiar, and the tone and tone were those of the teacher. It hit him unceremoniously like a whip:

"Why weren't you worried when you spoke just now? Why weren't you worried when you pushed the Glory Holy See into a corner and were about to start a war? Why weren't you worried when the last heavy weight was thrown?"

Grete looked up sharply. However, the teacher is not in the demiplane, nor does he appear in the demiplane by any means such as spirit body, soul, thunder spirit, etc.

He tried his best to look over, but he could only see the clear sky ahead, the wall of thunder and light disappeared without a trace, and the ocean, island, venue, and people standing around the venue appeared again...

The Heavenly Mountain, hanging high in the sky, is still majestic and sacred and cannot be desecrated. However, the endless downward pouring of holy light has quietly stopped.

No, not stopping, but being held up in the air by one hand, unable to land. The owner of that hand had a white beard and white hair, and a skinny face. He looked like he could fall down at any time.

For nine cold days, he only wore a linen robe with wispy edges. He stepped on the ground with his bare feet, ignoring the cracks and sharp stones on the lava floor.

The left hand holds a long wooden staff, and the right hand is turned toward the sky. The holy light on the Heavenly Mountain was originally pouring down vertically, but now it was condensed like a big funnel, and was held in his hand without moving.

"John Calvin!" [Destined One] Paul was frightened, angry and anxious, and shouted:

"What are you doing! Are you going to betray the Lord of Radiance?"

This ascetic monk has the same power level as him, and his reputation and status in the Glorious Holy See are also equal to his - or in other words, his status is equal to his, but his reputation is even greater.

After all, for someone like him who has shepherded countless lambs of the Lord, unified churches, and canonized kings, it is inevitable that he has done some not-so-honest things in the process——

Of course, this was all to glorify the holy name of the Lord, and the Lord also gave him enough grace to promote him from an ordinary priest to the third level of legend.

However, people like John Calvin who rely purely on penance and moral inspiration to spread the glory of God are synonymous with "innocence" and "pure faith"...

This is why, when such legendary ascetic monks left the Holy See and turned to the "Justification by Faith" sect, the Glorious Holy See did not dare to issue an explicit arrest order, nor did they dare to list them directly on the list of heretics.

However, how can you stand up and stand on the side of the enemies of the Holy See when you leave and return to the heretics and return to the heretics? ! !

"Betraying the Lord of Glory?... No, I didn't." The white-haired old man concentrated on holding the holy light on the Heavenly Mountain, restraining it, and combing it. Through the guidance of his power, the holy light on the Heavenly Mountain became pure and warm again:

"I just use my own way to worship and glorify the Lord. Paul, Clemont, you guys...it's time to stop..."

"stop?!"

[Destined One] Beads of sweat broke out on Paul's forehead.

From the time John Calvin showed up to now, he, Clemont, [Pale Sword] Abby Lucio, and several legends who came together this time, are all praying and fighting for control of Heavenly Mountain. right:

However, you can’t grab it! No matter what, you can't steal it! It makes no sense. Several of their legends got authorization from the Pope when they set out...

That is Paradise Mountain! It is not the small Heaven Mountain that is summoned as a temporary spell to enhance their power during normal battles, but the Heaven Mountain that the Glorious Holy See uses as its trump card!

It is the demi-plane that was opened up separately, storing all the power of faith of the Glorious Holy See throughout the ages, and even the Heavenly Mountain that accommodates the souls of a large number of devout believers!

But the white-haired old man stood there quietly, holding a stick in one hand and holding Heaven Mountain with the other. There is not even a single sacred object in the whole body as an aid...

When he left the Holy See, John Calvin left behind all the holy relics, including all the clothing and daily necessities that had been infiltrated by the Holy Light and gradually sanctified during his hundreds of years of praying day and night.

Except for wearing a burlap robe and breaking a wooden staff, he took nothing with him. So, why, why can he do it?

"Paul, Clemont, your faith has gone bad."

John Calvin sighed softly and shook his hand hard. The holy light at the bottom of Heavenly Mountain quietly converged. Even the figure holding the lightning in his hand turned into white light and returned to Heavenly Mountain silently:

"Think about what our responsibilities are? Think about it, why did we establish the Holy See of Glory?

——It is to shepherd His lambs for the Lord, to lead His lambs to the right path, to avoid their suffering and sorrow, and to return them to the Lord’s sheepfold. But what have you been doing all these years? What has the Glorious Holy See been doing all this time? "

He looked at his former comrades and colleagues, his deep and penetrating eyes passing over them one by one. [Pale Sword] Abby Lucio sighed and lowered his gaze helplessly;

[Destined One] Paul snorted coldly, raised his chin, and looked at him without hesitation;

[Protector] Clemont sneered slightly, glared at the ascetic monk, and turned his head without saying a word.

What do you want to say?

You just want to say that the Glorious Holy See uses the name of the Lord to occupy territory, buy and sell priesthoods, interfere with the inheritance of lords, and plunder wealth in the New World;

He even used the name of the Lord of Glory to do business everywhere, indulged in extravagance, extorted money, and persecuted devout believers...

However, can some things be done without anyone? Without occupying territory or plundering wealth, what do the paladins and priests of the Glorious Holy See use for training, what do they use for cultivating new people, and what do they use for advancement?

Arrogant and extravagant, there are some things that you can't do when dealing with those lords. Although some bishops and some clergymen have shortcomings in personal ethics, they are still very capable at work...

Moreover, the great Lord of Glory has not withdrawn the divine favor given to them, has he?

John Calvin saw their expressions and sighed secretly. It's not like he doesn't understand these principles. Some dirty work does need people to do it...

However, if a pure white robe is stained a little today, it may be clean; if it is a little dirty tomorrow, it may still be clean.

Every time it gets dirty, every time it turns from white to gray, and finally, it will inevitably turn from gray to black. All this time, he watched and suffered, and in the end, he could only avoid it from a distance and be alone from a distance...

It was not until the doctrine of "justification by faith" appeared that John Calvin suddenly realized:

Yes, there is still this way!

There is no need to go through the Holy See or the Pope's edict, he himself can gain access to the Lord!

"Paul, Clement, stop it. Our duty is to bring the grace of the Lord to believers and take care of their bodies and souls. We cannot heal believers ourselves, and we do not allow others to relieve their pain. This is going too far. Got it!"

The old man spoke word by word, and his voice spread to all directions. The waves on the edge of the lava island were rolled up by him, roaring, roaring, lifted high, and rushed to the shore of the island.

However, after a few waves, the waves calmed down quietly. Among the white waves, a dozen figures dressed in sackcloth, barefoot, and dressed as ascetics filed in and stood next to John Calvin.

The support is self-explanatory. Soon, the white light on them merged into one. John Calvin put down his hand and no longer held the Holy Light. However, the light on Heavenly Mountain remained quiet and showed no signs of continuing to attack.

Huh?

When did these people come?

Gretel couldn't help but look up at the sky, hoping to see some hints from the teacher's face.

The Lord of Thunder was still standing outside the demiplane and had no intention of releasing them. However, the words of instruction still reached his ears one by one:

"When we agreed to let you go, the council had already made the most complete preparations for possible situations. We have already contacted these ascetic monks and asked them to observe the situation from a distance."

I don’t know if those nobles will break away from the Glory Holy See. I don’t know if the Glorious Holy See will take action directly. If we take action, we don’t know how strong or weak both sides are...

However, if there is a fight, and the parliament has the advantage, but cannot cleanly suppress the Glory Holy See, then it will be the turn of the ascetic monks to appear!

Divine magic?

What is magic?

The Holy See can use divine magic, and devout believers like him can still use divine magic. I don't believe that these guys with distorted beliefs can be better than him in magical arts!

The square gradually became quiet. Thunder, lightning, ice, flames, all kinds of magical powers quietly disappeared;

After one wave of dragon breath was sprayed, there was finally no second wave. Only the space around Elder Batista was as solid as a rock, without any fluctuations. As for Time Dragon Sainz, the surroundings are calmer, as if nothing happened;

The silver light on the cedar tree above Princess Norrell's head also silently converged, leaving only a faint silvery moonlight covering a small space under the shade of the tree.

"Let's negotiate."

"Let's talk about it."

"It's time to sit down and negotiate! The era of the entire continent bowing to the orders of the Glorious Holy See has finally passed!"

The nobles under his rule rebelled. The loyal followers of the Lord of Radiance, the famous ascetics, clearly expressed their opposition. The balance of power between the two sides has tilted to a shocking level for the first time.

In this case, the Magic Council once again proposed negotiations, and the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan seconded the proposal. The Glorious Holy See had almost no room for opposition...

For thousands of years, the Glorious Holy See has dominated the Old Continent, declaring magicians as heretics and all other sects as heretics. For the first time in thousands of years, these forces have opened negotiations with the Glorious Holy See on an equal footing. .

After three days and three nights of negotiations, all parties erected stone pillars on the lava island and engraved the terms of the agreement, which was known in history as the "Hall Strait Agreement."

1. The Glorious Holy See cancels the wanted list of all heretics and recognizes that heretics have the freedom to walk safely under its rule. As long as these believers abide by the laws of the country where they are located, the Holy See cannot search, arrest, or punish them solely on the basis of their faith.

2. The Kingdom of Kent allows believers under the rule of the Glorious Holy See to travel, do business, work, and seek medical treatment within the kingdom. As long as these believers abide by the laws of the kingdom, the Kingdom of Kent is not allowed to search, arrest, or punish them solely on the grounds of belief.

3. Let the secular be returned to the secular, and the spiritual be returned to the divine. The Glorious Holy See shall not interfere with the inheritance of secular lords, and shall not send force to assassinate or arrest secular lords and their heirs.

4. Allow secular lords to establish hospitals in their territories. The hospital is open to study and further training for any healer who is interested in dedicating himself to medical care, regardless of nationality, creed and race; it provides treatment to all patients equally.

The hospital is a permanently neutral zone and is not subject to attack by any force. It also does not allow anyone to attack each other within the hospital's territory due to reasons such as nationality, belief, race, etc.

5. Allow the Magic Council to establish mage towers in their territories and recruit disciples at the invitation of secular lords; allow various sects, including the Glorious Holy See, to preach in their territories at the invitation of secular lords everywhere...

The "Hall Strait Agreement" canceled a large number of privileges of the Glorious Vatican, which was an important step for the Glorious Vatican to return to religion from secularization.

From this day on, the power of the Magic Council developed rapidly, and the exchanges between the mainland and the Kingdom of Kent were greatly enhanced.

Humanity has also begun a new era of rapid development and concentrated efforts on developing new continents.

Finished spreading flowers!
