Book of Gods and Demons

Inside the Golden Anchor Club, the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies were driven out by the **** soldiers.

In this process, it is forbidden for someone to be rougher, and for gentlemen and ladies to complain and scold in a low voice, so the buttstock made of fine teak wood prevents intimate contact with the distinguished gentlemen and ladies.

Hundreds of people with faces and faces in Tulum Harbor stood in the street with no face, shivering like frightened rabbits, carefully watching the confrontation Duke Ross and Archbishop Laurent.

Joe took the short cloak that Teeth handed over, covering his bare upper body.

He didn't add any oil and jealousy, he just recounted the conflict between himself and Longinus.

"That's it, Honorable Duke, I was ordered to carry out the task of arresting suspects of treason, and Lord Longinus relied on his strong personal strength to forcibly prevent my law enforcement actions."

Joe's eyes widened and he looked up and down Archbishop Laurent: "There is no doubt that this is a gross offense to the laws of the empire."

The Duke of Rose shook the small folding fan quickly with his right hand, and the fan flew quickly, just like the wings of a bee, and even made a clear and audible hum.

She laughed a few times and took a sudden step forward: "Your Excellency, the behavior of Longinus, is the church's order?"

Archbishop Laurent frowned. He looked at the people standing in front of the Golden Anchor Club, and sighed heavily in his heart-they were all the fascinating figures in Tulum Port, and they were all the gold masters of the church... oh , No, it is the great Mu's devout believer.

"Of course we can't listen to the one-sided words of a little guy." Archbishop Laurent smiled, holding a small string of rosewood rosary in his left hand, flicking the rosary lightly with his fingers, and said to Duke Rose unhurriedly: " At least, we want to hear what Ronginus says?"

Duke Rose sneered, and she waved her hand.

The four major generals slowly let go of their hands, letting go of Longinus who had been suppressed by them.

Longinus took a violent breath. Just now, his neck was severely strangled by two arms. He couldn't breathe, and his Adam's apple was almost strangled.

Now that he was free again, Longinus panted violently and swayed to his feet.

‘Huh, Huh’, like a beast that has escaped from a cage, Longinus’ pale golden eyes swept one by one over the five major generals standing in a row: "You are using heretical power!"

Duke Rose gave a light cough and gave Longinus a fierce look.

Archbishop Laurent also squinted sharply, and sternly shouted: "Langinus, come to me. What happened just now? Tell me!"

Longinus shivered, walked up to Archbishop Laurent in a hurry, bowed deeply to him: "Your Excellency, just..."

Like Joe, Longinus didn't add any oil and vinegar, and spoke out what happened before.

"Your Excellency, I dare to swear that Miss Roland and her sisters are devout followers of my lord... I cannot tolerate someone in front of me and harm my lord’s believers. Therefore, I have taken action. I want to protect my lord’s followers. Believers, this is exactly the responsibility my priesthood has granted me!"

Longinus is very honest, perhaps this is also one of the specific manifestations of low IQ, he is very straightforward to name Miss Roland.

"Ohhhhh, Miss Roland and her sisters!" Duke Rose covered half of his face with a small folding fan, and smiled unscrupulously with a sharp voice: "Ohhhhh, Miss Roland and her sisters are pious Believers..."

No matter who can hear the sneer in the laughter of Duke Ross.

Archbishop Laurent took a step closer to the Duke of Rose, and he whispered: "Then, Ronginus is right."

Duke Rose said coldly: "Is it wrong for these brave and loyal soldiers?"

There was obvious anger in her voice: "Even the believers of the church, they can't be above the law... One hundred and seventy years ago, the "Secret Covenant of Faith" signed by the church and other countries, did your Excellency forget? "

Archbishop Laurent closed his mouth, and his greasy old face couldn't help but twitch.

"The Secret Covenant of Faith", the biggest scar in the hearts of all the clergy of the Golden Oak Church is one that can't be touched.

In the mainland of Medland, the original divine power was above everything. The emperors and kings of various countries ascended to the throne and had to invite the pope of the Golden Oak Church to crown them. Only these emperors and kings can inherit the throne reasonably and legally.

One hundred and ninety years ago, the countries of the mainland of Medland joined forces. Two decades of religious wars swept the mainland. The secular imperial power opposed the divine power with an unprecedented resolute attitude. The coalition forces even surrounded the holy place of the Golden Oak Church at one time. tree, hey).

After signing the "Secret Covenant of Belief", theocratic power has since been restrained in the church, and the imperial power has expanded day by day.

"Langinus relied on his personal strength to attack and kill imperial policemen and interfere with the law enforcement actions of the imperial first-level lieutenant Joe." Duke Ross said coldly: "This responsibility must be borne by Langinus and the church. ."

“All the death and wounded soldiers’ pensions and all subsequent expenses must be paid by the church.” Duke Ross said irrefutably: “I will also make an official written report to the Queen about the conflict tonight, and the Empire will come forward and ask the church. Be fair."

Archbishop Laurent gave a light cough.

He and Duke Ross got together, their heads almost touched together, and they argued in a low voice very quickly.

Joe was next to Duke Ross, and he heard all the conversation between them.

Many of them are very exciting.

Such as:

"The church's profit this year..."

"Comprehensive cost calculation..."

‘The guilt of showing extraordinary power in front of mortals...’

‘Repair costs for broken houses, broken streets and other public facilities...’

‘The people of Tulum Harbor are frightened and the follow-up treatment of psychological shadows...’

Duke Ross and Archbishop Laurent are like two shrewd vendors. They argued fiercely for a full ten minutes over whether three or five cabbage leaves counted as a starting point!

In the end, the two almost reached the final tacit understanding.

St. Hilde’s Cathedral bears the compensation for all the economic losses tonight. Anyway, the fleece is on the sheep. The church thief has money. Roland and others who caused the trouble, they are embarrassed not to donate a sum of incense money to the church, Duke Ross and Laurent The archbishop will not let them go.

The casualties of imperial soldiers and church knights, of course, cannot be said to be a conflict between the two sides.

The'truth' tonight is-a group of shameless and brutal highland thugs, they attacked Tulum port again; Tulum port garrison and the church knights fought side by side to repel these **** highland thugs.

The Duke of Ross and Archbishop Laurent will jointly sign a statement in the "Port of Tulum Post" in the morning of tomorrow morning, severely condemning the various atrocities of the Highlanders, and at the same time, they will deal with the brothers of the soldiers and knights fighting side by side on both sides. Friendship is appreciated.

The Duke of Ross will sign an order to award the Imperial Medal of Honor to the high-ranking knights who have been able to fight tonight and made meritorious deeds, but unfortunately sacrificed; and Archbishop Laurent, he will also issue an order to present a golden oak leaf badge to tonight’s hero Joe. And the title of'sage'.

With the golden oak leaf badge, especially the title of ‘sage’ endorsed by Archbishop Laurent, Joe will automatically become a ‘friend of the Golden Oak Church’ and automatically enjoy the privileges equivalent to a provincial bishop.

When Duke Ross bargained with Archbishop Laurent, her attitude was very clear-"Poor Joe was bitten by a mad dog, and the owner of the mad dog must compensate for something"!

In this regard, Joe said it was very useful.

His favorability for Duke Ross soared to its full value in an instant.

Subsequently, the Duke of Ross pointed out unceremoniously that Longinus brazenly intervened in the law enforcement actions of the empire's civil servants. This was a crude intervention in the internal affairs of the empire and severely damaged the traditional friendship between the empire and the church.

Therefore, Archbishop Laurent promised that Longinus would be dealt with internally.

The priesthood of the first deacon of the Holy Inquisition’s Cathedral in St. Hild’s Cathedral in Tulum Port, Longinus will be taken away. He will become an ordinary little knight of the Holy Inquisition. In the next three years, he will not regain authority, nor Will get any promotion and rewards.

Joe smiled openly and was full of joy.

Standing behind Archbishop Laurent, Longinus's face turned black. When he heard that his priesthood would be deprived and he would not be able to recover in the next three years, he suddenly thought of the Holy Inquisition. The confessional he used alone!

In that confession room, how many lovely ladies and ladies have sincerely confessed to him?

So many good memories!

So many wonderful stories!

He can't lose his authority, he can't lose his confession room, he must find an excuse to redeem it all!

Longinus's heart burned with anger, and at the same time he must glared at Joe aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, he insulted me. He said that my mother is a **** Portusse woman playing a crystal ball!"

Longinus’ eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "This **** fat man, said my mother is a heresy... Great Mu, sir, I came out to catch heretics on your order. !"

Archbishop Laurent gave Longinus angrily.

Damn idiot, Archbishop Laurent did ask him to come out and arrest the heretics, but you just need to catch the heretics properly. Are you okay to intervene in Joe's arrest of the suspect, what do you do?

Longinus glared at Joe fiercely, and then his eyes quickly fell on the five major generals who had just beaten him.

He roared in a low voice: "The power they used just now comes from heresy, without a doubt, from heresy!"

Longinus took out the gray golden oak leaf that Archbishop Laurent gave him. Duke Ross and Archbishop Laurent were too late to stop him. A white streamer spouted from his finger and quickly swarmed into the golden oak leaf. .

The golden oak leaf burst out with a bright golden light, and then flew to the group of people at the gate of the Golden Anchor Club with a sigh, and hovered right above the head of a pale-faced girl.

The golden rain of light spilled from the golden oak leaves, a trace of gray decay emerged on the girl's body, and a phantom of broken wings flashed away.

"Here!" Longinus laughed loudly: "I found the heresy!"

"Wow...oh!" Joe looked at Longinus with an idiot's eyes: "But honorable Sir Longinus, this is what you just insisted on protecting, you announced in the name of the great Mu... what!"
