The last time Loren came to the church, it was when he went to the capital of Golovin.

At that time, the Bayern Cathedral still did not come out of the shadow of the "Red Blood Fort Evil Beast" incident a few years ago-because of the Centaur War, the Civil War of the Dwarf Kingdom plus the new army, the Wizards ’Guild and the" Wings of the Sky Legion " For construction, Byrne does not have much capital and materials at all, and can really invest in the restoration of the church.

In addition, a large number of middle and high-level churches have peddled various metal utensils in the church, even the statues of the Holy Cross. As a result, three years later, many ruins destroyed by explosions and fires could still be seen. Only the cathedral itself was barely repaired. .

On the one hand, it is really helpless, on the one hand, it is also to avoid being influenced by too many church voices when developing the wizarding guild-for a long time, the Bain Cathedral is more like a carefully decorated tomb, where every living person Can't wait to leave.

And when Weber took over the Bayern Church, the whole church had been completely renovated in just one year.

Although after abandoning a large number of parish administrators, fields and real estate, the Bayern Church lost a lot of wealth and stable income, but it also reduced expenditures and won the upper-level friendship of the Principality.

Even if Loren was in conflict with the church, he had to admit their influence in the empire and even the Principality. The traditional worship of the Holy Cross and the Valkyrie accounted for almost half and half, not inferior.

After reaching an agreement with the Countess of the Red Blood Castle and having a small steady income, Weber used fundraising from all over the Principality to repair the cathedral and planned and designed according to his inner thoughts.

Born in the imperial capital, but the little priest who spent a long time in Rotel was very disgusted with the mysterious majesty of Golovin or the extravagant style of Byrne. Instead, he praised Rotel ’s “simple style” ——The preaching place of the church, only the preaching station, the icon, the bench and the holy pool are enough.

As for organs, incense pots, crystal chandeliers, and marble statues ... After meeting the corrupt deacons before the Byern Church, Weber became extremely disgusted with these things.

More than once, he denounced these as "goods" that "corrupted the mind", and told Charlotte that frugality should be advocated, and the money should be used in the cultivation of morality, so that the city's workshops can produce cheaper tools, drugs, and daily necessities. , Rather than expensive luxury goods, should reduce the number of monthly banquets and drinking.

Of course, the proud Countess of the Red Blood Castle could not even hear it.

The banquet was still open. The duke seats in the round table hall were changed from wooden chairs to marble high-back chairs, and crystal chandeliers were replaced by better fluorite lamps. The luxury goods produced by the alchemy workshop and the fine wine of Byrne are still sold throughout the empire.

For Charlotte as a "pure Bayern", if there is no banquet, no food and wine, music painting sculpture art, incense and beautiful clothing ...

Life is so boring, what's the point?

Webber even doubted that for Charlotte, in her eyes, was the faith of the church and the Holy Cross the same as fine wine, food, or beautiful clothes, but "luxury goods" used to enrich life and spirit?

After several failed attempts to "rescue", Weber was helpless and could only focus on the purity of the church itself-he has been trying to restore the ancient church model from beginning to end, and has always hoped that the Holy Cross Church Set a moral model and can lead the benchmark of believers.

"I already know about Ayin ... ah, sorry."

Outside the hallway of the cathedral, seeing the obviously unhappy expression of the dark-haired wizard, Weber quickly apologized: "I was outside when you and Isaac were arguing. I didn't mean to ..."

"It doesn't matter, I know what's going on." Waving his hands helplessly, Loren interrupted him: "You're not here to persuade me, right?"

"Of course not, I am your friend, but not your family, and have no right to interfere in your marriage." The young priest Webb nodded, his expression taken for granted:

"The Holy Cross belongs to the Holy Cross, and the rights belong to those in power-what I want to do is to marry you and bless you in front of the Holy Cross, not to interfere with your rights."

"As for Charlotte and Ain, they are both good girls, although ... neither are devout believers of Holy Cross." Speaking of which, Weber sighed involuntarily.

Every time my mission fails or is not understood, there will be a strong sense of frustration.

"Really, just not pious enough?" Loren glanced at the young priest Webber: "I thought you would use the power of the bishop to force me to judge them."

Weber first stunned, and then laughed aloud.

This kind of "joke" can only be opened between the two of them.

"The Holy Scripture's old scripture says, origin, knowledge ... These are never sins. The real sins come from our own inner expanding desire, which is the power that can destroy everything."

Said lightly, Weber stared at Loren with a sincere look: "Ai Yin is also my friend, and I also know her as a person; as a humble servant of the Holy Cross, her kindness and bravery still make me feel ashamed."

"As for ungodliness ... that is the sin of us; it is like the sin of a shepherd dog to make an innocent lamb disappear in a pasture."

"If someone used the excuse of" witch "to send her to the torture rack, then the cause is not because of ungodliness-this kind of ulterior motives, good fortune, and bad faith are the poor people who are truly destroyed by the expansion of desire. "

Nodded silently, Loren was relieved at the bottom of his heart.

Of course, he is not just kidding, but also to confirm Weber's attitude.

Weber is impossible to whistle, or to dismantle the true identity of the small wizard, otherwise he does not have to wait until now, but his views on this matter are still very important.

For witches ... even wizards, the church ’s attitude has always been very tough; Weber, a priest born in the imperial capital, has a better understanding of the church ’s attitude towards witches and pagans than Loren. What kind of crime.

In a sense, this is equivalent to Webber, and the church behind him completely separated from the Holy Cross Church.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about me, Loren." The little priest's usual peaceful words sounded: "This kind of thing is almost inevitable for me from the day he became Bishop Bien."

"At first, I had fantasies, and fantasies can change the atmosphere of the church little by little, but the little Yode thing quickly taught me a lesson and let me see a ... terrible fact."

"That is to say, the current church is more like a semi-independent Principality than a church-it's just that the Principality is too fragmented, the" territory "is distributed throughout the empire, and the system is more dispersed."

"This 'Principality' has an independent army, finances, and lords; bishops and church pastors everywhere are more like governors and tax collectors who are appointed to be responsible for exploiting wealth or contending for power with local lords ..." Like sighing, like decisively:

"If you don't destroy this monster, if you don't fundamentally deny it, the church I want ... will always exist in hope-because if they really understand what I'm going to do, they will kill me."

Closed his eyes, the little priest with a painful expression shivered slightly.

This expression, Loren had seen it once; that was when the young priest Weber finally saw the poor in the imperial trial.

He knew that his approach was cruel. He knew that he would hurt many people, and even make his former friends, church members, relatives, and even mentors the enemies he had to overthrow ... Don't say it. Just thinking about it made him desperate.

But he will definitely do it, because this is Weber.

No matter how painful, no longer able to bear, his heart is like a knife ... As long as he thinks that he is right, he will not stop-weeping to the point of crying, trembling all over, and waving the butcher knife in his hand without hesitation.

"They won't kill you." Loren's voice was smooth and serious:

"They have to kill me first, and I will never give them this opportunity."

The slightly stunned little priest opened his eyes, and a urge to laugh and cry came up.

But in the end he also squeezed his mouth tightly, just nodded slightly.

"I won't interfere too much about the wedding. Wait until you think about it, or tell me when I need my help." The little priest said softly:

"The problem we are dealing with is the Church of the Holy Cross and the dragon-as far as I know, the leaders and nobles of the Red Blood Fort have very great opinions on the red dragon ..."

Although Weber had considered the vocabulary as carefully as possible, Loren couldn't help but twitched his mouth.

In just two or three days, the people of the Red Blood Castle have quickly changed from fear, curiosity and excitement to the extreme chaos of the existence of the dragon.

Little Yoder complained to Loren that the request made by the scarlet dragon was almost unbelievable, and the demand for live cattle and live sheep was “enough to eat Bayern within a year”;

Is unconstrained, and even a dragon that moves freely in the territory of the Red Blood Castle often harasses the woods and farms. Although there are very few deaths and injuries, the damage caused is very bad.

The emergence of the dragon is more like a fuse to Byrne-or to question the loyalty of the Turin family, or hope to improve the position of Byrne in the Principality; a variety of voices are emerging, noisy On the dust.

"I have always believed that Loren is loyal enough to the empire, or at least to His Highness Brandon, and did not become the emperor's ambition." The priest reminded: "Just like I absolutely believe those brave knights, to you The same loyalty. "

"If this chaotic situation is allowed to continue, coupled with the deliberate guidance from the sky dome and the church, things will soon become unmanageable and develop towards the worst."

"And the worst result is that before confronting the Azores invasion, civil war will erupt between Baine and the Empire first-this kind of situation in the same room, we must do our best to avoid it!"

The voice fell, and Weber's expression was extremely serious.

"So what are your plans?" Loren asked simply.

Since Weber raised this matter, he must have had an idea.

"I just made a suggestion to you." After a slight pause, there was a smile on the face of the young priest Weber-this feeling was like returning to the ancient wooden town of Lotel:

"The current chaos is not so much because of the dragon, but rather because of you-Loren Turin, it is because of the reputation you won in the battle of Ebden, the respect that you received in Bayern and even the empire. Will lead to this situation right now. "

"The nobles of Byrne hope you can go further, the knights of Byrne have unrealistic ideas; and the attitude of the Sky Vault is more subtle, and the church is full of hostility." The little priests listed the problems one by one. :

"Under such circumstances, any idea you put forward cannot satisfy everyone, let alone obtain the approval of the majority; if you seek perfection, you can only offend everyone."

"So my suggestion is, don't make a statement immediately and let this chaos continue-Holy Cross teaches us that only in **** can we weigh the faith; faith that hasn't been tested is worthless. "

"Only after the test of chaos can you know who are your true enemies and which are the friends you can unite with; faith is the same, so is loyalty ..."

Touched the heart of the priest Webb sighed, seeing that Loren did not interrupt him, but continued to move forward.

"Don't say this, let's talk about the next wedding." Strongly cheering up, Weber smiled reluctantly:

"There are only less than ten days left. Although it is a little abrupt to say this, I still want to know ... have you decided?"

"what?!"

Lorren was frightened: "There are less than ten days left ?!"

"Yes ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Everything is going step by step." Weber frowned: "Charlotte didn't tell you?"

What did she tell me? !

Almost blurted out, but Loren hurriedly stopped himself—he suddenly remembered that he had hardly seen Charlotte again since that day.

"To be honest, when I first heard about this, I was also surprised." Webber, who didn't notice Loren's expression, continued: "I originally thought that a guy like you who pays attention to practical interests will not care at all. What tradition or something-I thought you would marry both Charlotte and Duke Salika at the same time. "

"After all, you are the leader of the Turin family. Even if you do n’t have this idea, the Turin family must be hoping to strengthen themselves, and they can even stand in court with the De Salion family-how proud the ancient knightly queen is, I I understand. "

"How dare I?" Loren thought he was joking: "Not to mention marrying two at the same time ... the Holy Cross Church and the Imperial Law, it is impossible to agree to this kind of thing?"

The voice just fell, and Webber, who was still laughing, turned his head suddenly and looked at Loren with a puzzled look:

"The Holy Cross Church and the Imperial Law have restrictions in this regard? How can I not know?"

Ok? ! ...
