Chapter 141 The shaking of the temple
What happened at the Northland New Year Ceremony soon shook the entire temple.
"This is a disgrace to the temple!"
Standing in the center of the Hall of Glory, the supreme bishop wearing a crimson robe looked ashen, even the hand holding the scepter looked a little pale due to excessive exertion.
In front of him, the bishops headed by Bishop Karl lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.
It’s no wonder that the Supreme Bishop is so angry. A scandal at the New Year’s Ceremony of the Temple would have been enough to make people blush, but the problem is that this is not just an ordinary private fight. One of the parties is a well-known person within the Temple. The favored person of God, but the other party is a Holy Spirit Knight! And this private fight eventually even involved the direct intervention of the Angel Legion and the Goddess!!
"what on earth is it!!"
The supreme bishop glared at the bishops in front of him, his old face even trembling with anger.
"Who can tell me why the blessed ones in our temple fought with a Holy Spirit Knight? Why did an angel army appear? Why did it end up requiring the goddess to intervene in person? Huh? What are you doing? Gone? What are you doing?!"
At this moment, the supreme bishop became more and more angry as he spoke. Originally, whether it was heaven, angels or goddesses appearing, it would be a good thing for the temple. But just this time, the temple was pushed to the forefront. Well, now outside The rumors have become increasingly outrageous, and there are even cultists with ulterior motives spreading rumors in private, claiming that it is because the Temple of Order betrayed the will of the goddess that the goddess sent her messengers to punish the temple.
In the past, such remarks would have been laughed at. But now, many people are even shaken!
This is normal. After all, when Fang Zheng summoned the Angel Legion, many nobles and mages were present. They all heard Brand, the most powerful knight commander in the temple, personally identify Fang Zheng as a cultist. Then the other party summoned an angel to come out and slap him in the face. Everything that happened here has to make people think deeply.
Brand is the most advanced combat force of the Temple. To a certain extent, he does represent the will of the Temple.
And now, a spokesman for the temple pointed at the person guarded by the angel and said that the other person was a cultist? In the end, he ended up fighting to the death?
In addition, in the end, the goddess took away Brand's blade of justice... Oh, you can't help but make people think more.
All of this happened in full view of the public. Even if the nobles and the temple who attended the banquet did not speak out to spread rumors, there were still so many attendants and maids. The temple still understands that it is better to guard against the people than against the river. , how can this matter be covered up?
And once all this spreads, and gets mixed up by those damn cultists... maybe people really think that the temple has violated the will of the goddess, and even plan to find an opportunity to kill Fang Zheng, the spokesperson of the goddess. So the goddess couldn't stand it anymore, so she directly sent an army of angels to protect him, and finally took away Brand's artifact herself.
"Please don't be too angry, Supreme Bishop."
At this moment, a soft voice sounded. Upon hearing this voice, the supreme bishop, who was extremely angry, immediately turned around respectfully and bent down to the other side of the veil.
"But...His Majesty the Pope..."
"Let's talk about what happened first... At least, we need to know what happened so that we can make a judgment, right? Mr. Karl, you were in charge of this matter at the scene. I think you should have a complete
Report it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Karl, who was standing below, also took a step forward, and then began to describe in detail what happened.
Although Karl did not see what happened with his own eyes at that time, fortunately, in addition to Nimfu and Connie, there were guards on guard and attendants passing by in the backyard of the temple at that time. From these people, again
Coupled with Brand's interrogation, Karl successfully figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
After listening to Bishop Karl's narration, everyone present felt that they didn't know what to say at all.
"...In other words, Knight Connie thought that the angel was bound by some kind of magic or means by Knight Fangzheng, so he tried to help her unbind? She is really powerful...!!"
The Supreme Bishop didn't even have the energy to be angry at this moment, he just felt how could he have such a stupid Templar under his command.
"Sir Carl, in your opinion, is that angel bound?"
"No, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing the inquiry, Bishop Karl answered sternly again.
"To be honest, in the previous battle in the Dark Swamp, I had the honor to fight side by side with the Founder Knight and the angel. From what I observed, the angel trusted the Founder Knight very much, and there was no gap between the two sides.
Moreover, that angel took the lead in the battle to destroy the Gate of Hell. If it weren't for her, then we would not have been able to defeat Bella, the six-armed snake demon, and destroy the magic circle of the Gate of Hell so easily...
"
"………………"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They finally understood why the young man directly hurt someone after a disagreement. Well, I have worked so hard to help you eliminate such a big threat, so I can't thank you enough.
He actually hurt someone...and for a completely unfounded reason. Anyone would be angry.
“…………Now Connie Knight’s funeral……”
"...We are considering..."
Speaking of this, Bishop Karl also looked helpless.
"To be honest, we have also examined Connie Knight's body and found that her soul and life have completely disappeared..."
"Is it the hand of the angel of death..."
After hearing Bishop Karl's answer, the supreme bishop also frowned.
Perhaps the lower-level believers will have doubts about the power of death, but in fact, as the top leaders of the Temple of Order, they are not really disgusted with the power of darkness and death. Because both darkness and death are actually part of order. Therefore, the Holy Order
What the temple opposes is not darkness and death, but the disaster and pain caused by these forces - after all, compared to the Holy Light, the harm caused by the former is naturally greater.
"...Where's Brand?"
"He has been resting at home. It seems that losing the Blade of Justice has hit him hard."
"Why……………"
Hearing Bishop Karl's answer, the Supreme Bishop sighed helplessly. Brand really brought it upon himself this time. Not only did he lose the Blade of Justice, he even had his power deprived of him by the goddess. Now he has completely turned into a decrepit man.
Mortals no longer possess the legendary power. In fact, the Temple has decided to deprive Brand of the title of Knight Commander. Everything he did was too much. Even the goddess took action in the end. This required the Temple
If you don't respond quickly, it will be the end of the world.
"The Founder Knight...have you found him?"
"I'm sorry, we still haven't found the whereabouts of Knight Founder."
After the battle, Fang Zheng took Nimfu directly to escape. Since he was protected by the angel army headed by Malthael, others did not dare to stop him and could only watch him leave. After that, Karl
The bishop also took Stone and the others to look for Fang Zheng everywhere, and even went to Rex to inquire, but unfortunately, there were no clues.
"Isn't there any way to find his whereabouts through star patterns?"
Hearing this answer, the Supreme Bishop became even more anxious. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie it. The best way right now is to find Fang Zheng and announce in a high-profile way that there is no problem between him and the temple. This way, the rumors will not be spread.
It was self-destructive, but the problem is that now Fangzheng is hiding and can't find anyone, and they can't find anyone, which is very troublesome.
Under the current circumstances, what if someone impersonates the temple and launches an attack on Fang Zheng, and then draws hatred for himself? One Antonio is enough to give people a headache, but if there is another one, how can the temple tolerate it?
The first thing the Temple has to do now is to find Fang Zheng and eliminate the misunderstanding with him. At least let him know that the Temple has no hatred or resentment towards him. Before, it was all between Brand and Connie.
Their actions do not represent the thoughts of the temple itself. But...Fangzheng just doesn't show up, it's useless no matter how sincere they are!
"I'm sorry, I asked Mr. Oscar, but he said that the Founder Knight's astrology was deceived and he couldn't find the true location at all..."
"Why………"
Hearing this, the supreme bishop could only sigh helplessly.
"But it's okay, we can't find it, and those with ulterior motives can't even hope to find it... Maybe this is also the will of the goddess."
