Warlord of Chaos Chapter 446: Hidden danger
Adolf actually turned the entire Holy Crown City into a parish when Han Jin led the army to attack the Beit League, but he did not develop into other satellite cities. After all, Adolf is an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes. It may be difficult for the human world to pick out someone older than him. He cannot be as unscrupulous as a young man. If the diocese were to be fully expanded, it would be tantamount to pushing Han Jin to the brink of a dead end, or to fight with his back, or to surrender completely, and there is no other way to go.
Moreover, the system of the so-called Diocese of Holy Crown City is very unsound. Usually, the diocese has a lot of power, which is parallel to the secular authority. As for who is above and who is below, there has never been a definite number. The level of intrigue, attitude, strength, etc. of the ruler, for example, in the former diocese of Jedis, Jedis had the chief voice, whether it is the lord who was entrusted by Nicholas himself, or the general with thousands of troops in his hands. Kneel before Jadis. As for the iron-handed city where Nicholas sits in person, Zachary, another archbishop of the Holy See, is the bishop of the diocese. He would not challenge Nicholas' authority. In the end, Zachary was so angry that he resigned as the bishop of the diocese, and proposed to merge the diocese of Iron Fist City with Jeddis's diocese, and Jeddis still served as the bishop of the diocese, so a The largest, most significant, and most prosperous parish was born, which also kicked off the complete turnaround between Jedis and Nicholas.
There can be no contradiction between the two systems, it is just a question of who will give more and who will give less, and Jedis has the Pope on top, so he cannot maintain his own opinion, he must safeguard the authority of the Pope and the interests of the Holy See , the so-called people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves!
In Holy Crown City, Jadis can maintain friendship with Han Jin. The most important point is that Jadis has completely abandoned his previous ideas. He has never competed with Han Jin and is about to reopen the Holy See. Go to Hanjin, and then Hanjin will set aside an area for him. If the funds are not enough, go to Hanjin, and then Hanjin will propose a sum of money to him. For any ambitious person, this is unbearable. Territory and funds are the two lifeblood of realizing ambitions, how can you tolerate being held in the palm of your hand by others? But Jedis is content, he will not fight for anything, as long as he accepts the existence of the Holy See and allows him to freely spread the glory of God, he has nothing else to ask for. Han Jin said that the people's hearts are initially determined, and there are powerful enemies posing threats outside. It is not the time to quickly expand the diocese, which is likely to cause chaos. Okay, he will wait patiently. Han Jin said that theocracy and world power are two different things. The territory of Holy Crown City can recognize the God of Light as the only **** and the real god, but the Holy See cannot use this to interfere with world power, especially not to levy believers in the name of reducing taxes. Spread the teachings and nothing else.
In the eyes of some radical priests, Jedis is undoubtedly a shameful capitulator. What's interesting is that among the paladins and cardinals, Jadis has won the majority of support, even the veteran Aldonis. On the side of Jedis, they all know that the recent Holy See can no longer withstand twists and turns. And more priests, under the influence of rigid doctrines, education, and various historical factors, have become accustomed to problems. They believe that human beings must believe in the God of Light, and they are the spreaders of divine grace, and they should be respected by all human beings, including lords. , Emperors look up, and should also accept people's dedication to the Holy See. Han Jin conquered the Holy Crown City, and then handed over the Holy Crown City to the Holy See. This is completely the obligation of believers. Shin becomes a blasphemer who must be eliminated.
However, the Holy Crown City is different from the Southwest District. The power of the Holy See has not visited for a long time, which is equivalent to a desert of faith, and Han Jin is famous. Many people speculate that Han Jin's real strength has reached the demigod level, not to mention the Holy Crown City It was he who captured it all by himself. Although the priests treated the entire city as a parish without authorization, and did not recruit many believers, it was not until the priests shouted the slogan of tax reduction that the civilians responded. Half of the civilians kept a wait-and-see attitude. Even if the priests praised Adolf and belittled Hanjin, those civilians did not dare to make a decision lightly.
The Holy See is so awesome, why was it driven to Holy Crown City? Han Jin is so bad, how could he defeat the elders of Dragon City? That's a real demigod-level powerhouse!
There are crowds of people in front of the newly built lord's mansion, and there is no gap on the road where more than a dozen knights can drive side by side. The Knights of the Shield of Liberty in Nice didn't get involved, and the cardinal didn't even see a single one. This also means that all the priests and believers who came here to make trouble here belonged to the lower-level priests and believers of the Holy See, and it was not easy to establish a unified command.
Han Jin was standing in front of the window, looking at the flow of people from a distance, his face was always calm.
"My lord, so... Adolf already knows our actions?" Schumann frowned and asked softly, "Then why didn't he come out and stop it?"
"It's impossible for him to understand our specific plan, he just noticed it." Han Jin smiled: "After all, our reaction is too contrived, it's just..."
"My lord, what do you want to say?"
"Have you ever seen a circus?"
"Saw it."
"In the circus, there are always some monsters that look dangerous on the outside. In fact, the wildness of those monsters has long since faded away with the passage of time. Otherwise, how could they be whipped and teased? If Put them back into the World of Warcraft forest, it is estimated...it will be difficult for them to survive in the forest." Han Jin said slowly: "Not only monsters, but also people will degenerate! Adolf is an ascetic monk, and he knows what ascetic monks need most. What is it?"
"What is it?"
"Lonely." Han Jin smiled: "Only being alone for a long time can make their hearts more pure and pure, make their beliefs stronger, and make their strength stronger. The magical beast that has been alone for decades suddenly returned to the population... I guess, he will be somewhat uncomfortable, because this is not the life he wants."
Schumann was silent, thinking about Han Jin's words secretly.
"Perhaps, that Adolf is really a wise man, but his wisdom only lies in how to temper himself and how to improve himself, which has nothing to do with human nature, and Jedis is busy with teaching affairs all day long, and all kinds of In this regard, he should far surpass Adolf, and Jadis knows me very well, hehe..." Han Jin smiled: "After Jadis realized that we might be involved, he could vaguely guess My intention, but Adolf can't do it, so he has nothing to do now."
"Jedis guessed our intention? Then he should come out... Huh? Look over there, my lord!" Schuman called.
While Schumann was astonished, Han Jin had already seen the figure in the distance. Jedis came, bringing Amijie, Yadonis, Odd and dozens of light knights with him.
"You really have a crow's mouth." Han Jin shook his head helplessly, and took a few steps back: "Close the window, it's not good for them to find us."
Schumann looked a little embarrassed, walked over hurriedly, closed the window carefully, and then asked, "My lord, what is Jedis doing here now? Destroy our plan?"
"As the Pope, it is impossible for him to remain silent." Han Jin took a deep breath and sighed: "Try to do what you should do, and wait for the choice of fate for the rest, hehe...Jedi Si made a tragic decision."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the room, and Han Jin said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Kifank and a man in his thirties, wearing priestly robes, walked in.
Han Jin's eyes turned around on the priest's robe, he couldn't help frowning, and then he winked at Schumann, who asked, "No one noticed? Why didn't you change your clothes?"
"No, I've been very careful." Kifank said hastily.
"My lord, I want to change my clothes too, but it's too late." The priest said, "Brothers are still waiting for me."
"Are you ready?" Schuman said.
"It's sure to be safe, my lord." The priest looked very respectful in front of Schumann, and he still didn't dare to look up.
Schumann took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the priest: "Read it quickly, and burn it after reading it."
The priest took the letter, opened the envelope in a hurry, read it quickly, then took out the flint from his body, lit the candlestick beside him, and then put the letter on the flame, and it really burned.
"Okay, you can go." Schumann waved his hand.
"Yes, my lord." The priest bent down and bowed. Although he felt that there was a fourth person sitting on it, he still didn't dare to look up, and then he quickly exited the room.
"This kid is very honest in front of you." Qi Fanke said.
"Hehe... That's because he doesn't know you. If he knew who you were, he would probably be too scared to walk." Schumann smiled and said, "I am the Chief Sheriff personally appointed by the Lord. He is the kind of person, of course you have to be honest with me."
"He's very clever." Han Jin said softly. The other party still didn't dare to look up, and it was very likely that he had already guessed that the status of the mysterious person in the field far surpassed Schumann, and he might even have guessed his identity.
"My lord, do you mean...to keep them?" Schumann showed a look of astonishment: "But this way... there are too many traces of us!"
"No, you don't need to take care of him deliberately, it depends on his own ability." Han Jin said slowly: "If he can survive this turmoil... this person will belong to you in the future, I know, It's not just that Qifanke lacks people, you are also lacking."
"Tsk tsk..." Schumann sighed, "He's just a little ruffian. God knows what kind of luck he has had to be appreciated by you?!"
"Birth is not important." Han Jin said.
"Yes!" Qi Fanke nodded emphatically: "My lord's previous title was lower than yours, so what does that mean?!"
"Yes." Schumann laughed and said, "You don't have a title yet, a commoner, don't I have to listen to you too?" , start remediation immediately.
"Hehe..." Schumann's words made Qi Fanke feel very comfortable, so he couldn't continue talking, so he laughed it off.
The atmosphere fell into silence. Schumann rolled his eyes and changed the subject again: "It's a pity that a good lord's mansion has just been built. You haven't lived in it yet, my lord, have you? After this trouble, it shouldn't happen." What's left."
"Can it be so big? Destroy the Lord's Mansion??" Qi Fanke asked in surprise. He and Schumann were only responsible for their respective links, and at the same time reported to Han Jin that he didn't know much about Schumann's actions.
"Of course, do you know how many of them there are? Seven or eight hundred." Schumann smiled.
"So much?"
"It's not too small. Some of the vicious and cruel guys have long been thrown into prison by me." Schumann said: "I used to deal with them a lot. You see, my lord trusts me. I became a sheriff, so I can't embarrass the adults, right? I can't afford to provoke those powerful professionals, but I can still deal with the idle hooligans."
"Those guys listen to you?" Han Jin asked.
"Listen, but they don't know that I am secretly operating this matter." Schumann said: "Everyone in the city knows about my relationship with you. If I vent the truth, you can't explain it." Cleared."
"I'm very strange, the guys you mentioned...have all become priests?" Kifank shook his head.
"They also want to live." Schumann said: "They used to live scattered in the corners of the Holy Crown City, relying on cheating and abduction all day long. , They don’t dare to do things that violate the law and order, and the family has no ancestral property, and they don’t want to work, what can they do?”
"The question is, how can the Holy See accept them?!"
"After Adolf came to the Holy See, he recruited believers everywhere. The Holy See is eager to expand its power, so how can it pick the quality of believers?" Schumann laughed: "For those hooligans, if you join the Church, you can at least get along with them." Eat, right?"
Han Jin was in a daze. This kind of thing seemed to have happened in the history of another world.
"The Holy See is so messed up, something will happen sooner or later." Qi Fanke sneered: "Even without us, they will suffer."
At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Qi Fanke hurriedly said: "Lord Winston is here."
Han Jin nodded, motioning for Ki Fanke to go and open the door.
Winston was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, walked a few steps in a hurry, bowed to Han Jin and said, "My lord, I'm ready, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Pay attention to your own safety, don't act recklessly." Han Jin said, "You know, I need you to lose the battle this time!"
"I understand! My lord!"
"How many people did you bring?" Han Jin asked.
"Almost a hundred of them." Winston replied, "They are all soldiers selected from the First and Second Swordsman Regiment. Their strength is very ordinary. There is almost no chance to go to the battlefield."
"Well..." Han Jin nodded for a moment, "You go."
"Yes, my lord." Winston bent down again, then raised his head to smile at Kiphak and Schumann, and walked out quickly.
Just as Winston left, there was a sudden noise outside. Qi Fanke walked to the window curiously, looked out, and then said, "My lord, I'll go out and see what happened."
"Okay." Han Jin said.
"My lord, it seems that Jedis and those priests are having a fight." Schuman turned back.
"Jedis?" Han Jin was taken aback, then walked to the window and looked into the distance.
After a while, Qi Fanke hurried back, and sure enough, Jedis had a dispute with the priests!
Han Jin went out to conquer the Baite League and took away almost all the troops, leaving a vacuum in the Holy Crown City. For the Holy See, which was waiting to be rebuilt, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to expand its power. If Jedis is in charge, he has to consider Han Jin's feelings, and there will only be two results in the end, one is to proceed step by step, based on not stimulating Han Jin, and the other is to simply do nothing and wait for Han Jin to return to his teacher , but changing to Adolf is different. For a believer who has been immersed in faith for nearly a hundred years, the prosperous Holy See suddenly came to the brink of life and death. This is an unbearable pain. He wants to restore the Holy See desperately. Prestige ~IndoMTL.com~ And he is very old, time is limited, he can't wait for the Holy See to gradually recover, so he adopted an extremely drastic method, first arresting Celeste, showing his toughness, and then rapidly expanding The diocese is an established fact. If it weren't for Hanjin's reputation, if it wasn't for the firm opposition of Jedis, Yadonis and others, he would have expanded the diocese to various satellite cities of the Holy Crown City.
No one knows whether Adolf realizes that the unscrupulous recruitment of believers has left hidden dangers for the future of the Holy See. Perhaps, he has no choice.
However, today, hidden dangers suddenly broke out. In the past, Jedis had a very high binding force on the Holy See. The three holy knights of the Knights of Light, the cardinal, and all bishops and priests would unconditionally It is a pity that most of the priests and believers gathered in front of the lord's mansion at this moment are newcomers, plus hundreds of priests with ulterior motives are constantly bewitching and instigating inside, and the influence of Jadis has been reduced. At the lowest point, he stood in front of the Lord's Mansion and shouted for a long time, but he still couldn't disperse the crowd.
What's more, there is a secret information that is being circulated among the priests. Lord Raphael led the army to wipe out the orcs. The army suffered heavy losses, and I was also seriously injured. If you want to do something, you must take advantage of it now! If you wait for Raphael to recover from his injuries, and if you wait for the Holy Crown City's army to recover, it will be too late! In fact, many priests don't know what good it is for them to come here to make trouble. Anyway, everyone comes, so they come, and because they have been in the church for a short time, they don't know the prestige of Jedis and ability, anyway, everyone is making trouble, and they will follow suit.
