After the "bacterial fuel" was successfully developed, Todd immediately found the monk Joe and the old Aiden. Ignore the experimental part of the ability research, and only briefly explained the principle of combustion, hoping that they can design a "biothermal kiln" that can be used for metallurgy and calcination.

　　 Todd drew a very simple design sketch, the principle is a bit similar to the "biogas digester" of the previous life, and finally he emphasized the flammable and explosive characteristics of this gas, and asked them to pay attention to safety.

　　 While Todd was busy climbing the microbial science and technology tree, several major events occurred in the distant capital of the Papal State "Taylor".

　　The first thing is the Ecumenical Council of the Heavenly Father Church.

　　 The Ecumenical Council (also known as the Synod, the Universal Council, or the General Assembly) is a universally representative conference of bishops in the diocese of the Father’s Church, which mainly consults and deliberates on important academic and religious disputes.

　　 The most famous Ecumenical Council in history was undoubtedly the year 1054, when the Eastern and Western churches were divided. Since then, the Orthodox Church (ie, the East Terro Church) has not recognized the "Ecumenical Council" unilaterally convened by the Heavenly Father Church.

Judging from the rules of the meeting: the ecumenical meeting must be convened by the pope; he also has the ability to preside over the meeting (personally preside or appoint a representative), decide the matters discussed in the meeting, the procedures to be followed during the meeting, the location of the meeting, announcing adjournment and dissolution The right to meetings. The decision of the Ecumenical Council must also be approved and announced by the Pope. Cardinals, archbishops, bishops, and deans of seminaries all have the right to attend and vote, and theologians or doctrinaires invited to the conference can vote for advisory votes.

　　 The Ecumenical Council was presided over by the reigning Pope Alexander III. In addition to discussions on academic affairs and catechism, three major resolutions were negotiated and announced.

　　 1. Regarding the military dispute between Holy Acropolis and Silver Ring in the diocese, the church will send a mission to mediate, hoping that the two sides will immediately stop the war and return to the negotiating table.

　　 2. The growing power of the heathen in the south directly threatened the safety of the diocese and the holy city. The church reminded the kingdom in the diocese to guard against possible attacks.

3. Considering that the pirates of the northern islands and the northern barbarian tribes are getting closer and closer, the church plans to establish a fourth knight order based on the existing three holy knight orders, the full name is "Musi Seaport Blessed by Heavenly Father The Knights of the Monks” is mainly responsible for garrisoning the western coast of the parish.

　　 Regarding the third resolution, Pope Alexander III deliberately spent five minutes introducing Todd Fischer, the commander of the Knights.

　　 In the introduction, he described Todd as a knowledgeable and holy monk who joined the church under the invitation of Heavenly Father. He was able to conquer good warfare, and his soldiers were like clouds. He once personally led the church army and defeated pirates several times. He also discovered the sacred craftsmanship of the ancient Tyrolean Empire in the northern archipelago and gave it to the church free of charge.

　　 Finally, Alexander III publicly read the sacred edict established by the Knights of Muxi and announced that it would be distributed to the branches of the diocese.

　　 As for the printing ceremony of the Knights of Muxi, due to the uncertain situation in the north and the escalation of the border conflict, the pope finally decided to appoint an envoy to go to Muxi Town to do it on his behalf.

　　 As for the second major event in the capital of the Papal State, I have to talk about it from the morning of the third day after the Ecumenical Council.

　　Taylor Royal College, October 22, 1170, 9:30 in the morning.

　　 "Mr. Terrence! The people from the First Heretic Inquisition are here!"

　　 A sweaty, brown-haired young man rushed into the college classroom, and in front of the house full of students, he shouted to the old man with gray beard hanging down to his chest on the podium.

　　 The old man stood there for a moment, slowly put down the book in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are they?"

　　 "They just arrested Mr. Adriano and his students in the planetarium! Now those people are coming here!"

Terrence said to the brown-haired youth: "Ulysses, you immediately rushed to my room with the students. There are all my manuscripts under the bed. By the way! And the microscope! Take them all! Find the person I mentioned to you, he knows what to do!"

　　 The young man said anxiously: "Teacher, come with us!"

　　 The old man shook his head: "I can't go. You should understand that the person they are looking for is actually me. Only if I am here can you have a chance to escape."

　　 Listening to the dense footsteps coming downstairs, Terrence widened his eyes and blew his beard: "Ulysses, what are you still waiting for?! Let's go!"

　　 There was a low crying voice from the crowd. The students gave the teacher one last look and left the classroom one after another.

Half a minute later, looking at the red cross on the clothes of the intruder at the door, Terrence straightened his clothes and said in a mocking tone: "What is it that makes your steps so hurried? Is it the fear of truth?! "

　　October 22, 1170, an event called "The Disaster of Truth" by later generations occurred on that day. The Church’s First Heretic Inquisition suddenly broke into the Royal College of Tyrol and arrested well-known scholars on the mainland including Terrence, the master of physics, the master of Astronomy, Adriano, the master of mathematics, Morego, and their 259 students .

　　 Regarding this incident, in the next half a year, the Taylor family protested several times to the church. Dozens of secular aristocrats, headed by the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Hand and Seal, began to actively mediate.

　　 As for the last thing, compared with the first two, it seems a little trivial.

A week after the occurrence of "The Disaster of Truth", the Secular Court of the Pope State ushered in a seemingly common case-two young nobles were jealous because of their quarrels. One was broken and the other was beaten and swollen. jaw.

　　 The only thing that makes people feel incredible in this case is that the object of the two nobles is a man, to be precise, it may be a man.

Dion de Beaumont, the third child of the Beaumont family of judges, is different from the elder brother who chose to become a lawyer. Has a superb swordsmanship. Under the recommendation of the family, he entered the Secular Affairs Office at the age of 17 and became a trainee secretary under the hands of the Minister of Finance. With his outstanding achievements, he was awarded the title of "Royal Knights" by the royal family.

　　 But for such a good young man, what people talk about the most is not his knowledge or his swordsmanship, but it is a strange problem-gender.

　　 The second child of the Beaumont family was a girl who died at the age of 5. After that, Mrs. Beaumont was often awake and fuzzy. She used her sister’s clothes on Dieng, who was only 3 years old, on many occasions, and asked her son to continue the life of this kind of women’s clothing until he was 8 years old. .

　　 After that, things got a little out of control. As a teenager, Dion, with beautiful capital, fair skin, short height, coupled with the influence of long-term women's clothing, and met a group of noble ladies and young ladies, and gradually went further and further on the road of women's clothing. Usually, when in college or when going out, he usually wears casual clothes; when attending court **** and parties, he prefers to wear gorgeous costumes and enter and leave the social world as a woman.

　　 And all of this has changed after the occurrence of the "Terror of Truth".

Many of Dion’s former teachers and classmates were arrested in the heretical court and arrested secretly on ridiculous charges.

　　 Burning in anger, Dion used his own interpersonal resources in the circle of noble women's family members and united with other secular forces to collectively pressure the church, demanding that they release the detained teachers and students immediately.

　　 The First Heretic Inquisition also had a headache for this 17-year-old troublemaker, and arrested him several times in the name of crashing into the sanctuary. But every time a bunch of young male nobles broke their heads and rushed to rescue Dion.

Therefore, on the large square in front of the church headquarters, you can always see this scene recently: a "girl" with red lips and white teeth and picturesque eyebrows walks in front, and there are always a few silly beatings behind him. noble.

　　 The headquarters of the Heavenly Father Church, the Cardinal Interpretation Hall.

　　 Tristan lifted the curtains, looked at the elegant figure in the square, sighed, and then turned his attention to the old man at the table.

　　 Cardinal Abel wore a crystal lens and read the paper in his hand carefully. After a while, he took off the lens, pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "All the people on it are arranged?"

　　 Tristan nodded: "There is a hidden residence outside the city. I hid the students there."

　　 "Where are those manuscripts?"

"There is a student named Ulysses who is a disciple of Terrence. He has all the notes and drawings of the master." Tristan said this, and asked with some worry: "This time the heretical court Before this, no news was revealed..."

Aberle stretched out his hand to stop the other person's words: "I know what you want to say, but things are not as bad as you think, but it is a balancing technique commonly used by the Pope... I would like to know more than this, you How do you plan to pass through the levels and send these students to Muxi Town?"

Tristan touched the top of his head~lightnovelpub.net~ and said in a somewhat inquiring tone: "Isn’t the Ecumenical Conference saying that we will send a mission to Muxi Town? I intend to pretend to be students from these colleges. Cheng supports the church troops of the Musi Knights."

　　 When the old man heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Only you can come up with such an idea."

After a while, his expression began to be serious, and there was no smile on his face: "You have arrived in Muxi Town this time, tell the kid Todd, don't make any more troubles! The lie that should be round, the hole that should be filled, I will I have done it for him, but after all, the less such things, the better."

　　 Tristan nodded and said yes, he asked again: "So, what should we do about Master Terrence and them...?"

　　 Abel sighed and leaned his back to the back: "I will find a way for them to keep in touch with the secular royal family. You must give the referee enough pressure."

　　 Having said this, the old man suddenly remembered something: "By the way, these students have arrived in Muxi Town. Who do you plan to find as a contact person?"

　　 Tristan, who was standing by the window sill, turned his body sideways, and regained his gaze to the distance of the large square. He slowly said, "I have a personal choice, and it depends on whether he will agree..."

　　——————————————

　　 Fifteen days later, a mission from the Papal Kingdom arrived in Muxi Town.

Todd saw Tristan again and looked at the "woman" behind him in a simple women's dress with long light blonde hair tied into twists and hung on her chest. He whispered: "This knight is a woman?"

　　 Tristan coughed unnaturally: "No, he is a male."

　　 After saying this, he turned his head and glanced at Dion, then turned to Todd and said uncertainly: "It should be a male..."
