Words:1570Update:22/06/27 10:04:41
Unfortunately, "Beauty and the Devil" was a fairytale and not a cruel reality.
In the memory of the bishop from the Sacred Army, the sinful demons were far more dangerous than the chaos demons on the battlefield.
These monsters with the face of a lion and the body of a lizard had the ability to travel through time. Wherever their spears burned with green flames, they would ravage the battlefield …
The bishop had once led 12 Sacred Army soldiers in a head-on clash with a sinful demon. He had risked the lives of two experienced Paladins to be burnt to ashes by the demon's green flames before he finally killed it.
In the movie "Beauty and the Devil", the violent and ferocious sinful demons on the battlefield suddenly put on formal suits, and the terrifying green flames on their bodies disappeared.
Even the frightening scales on their bodies were covered by the formal suits, and they used their cutlery politely during meals …
Are these still the damn sinful demons that the Sacred Army soldiers encountered on the battlefield? Obviously not! It was an extremely docile feline creature.
"No … The contents of these recordings are fake. This isn't how the sinful demons originally look like."
The bishop from the Sacred Army watched Belle and the demon prince dance elegantly in the hall of "Beauty and the Devil". He could no longer hold back his true thoughts, or his desire to 'complain'.
"Those sharp claws could easily tear that little girl's waist apart. It's not like she's dancing with him."
"Calm down, Bishop Kobler … We all know how dangerous the sinful demons are. These recordings are obviously meant to deceive others."
Bishop Meyerg of the Court of Heresy tried to calm the agitated bishop beside him. He was also a general of the Sacred Army.
"Let's stop. This far is enough."
The scene where Belle and Zenas danced in the hall of the castle was enough for outsiders to see the main idea of the movie.
That was to beautify the demon. In fact, many women only fell in love with the big cat Zenas after watching this scene.
However, they fell in love with the demon prince in the movie.
The bishops present had personally experienced the horrors of the sinful demons, and they could not feel any dreamy or romantic emotions from the dancing scene. All they felt was a sense of incongruity that sent chills down their spines.
It was only natural that Kobler, who came from the Sacred Army, would be furious.
Therefore, Bishop Meyerg didn't dare to imagine what would happen if a movie like this were to spread in the human world …
Humanity's image of the demons would be rewritten, and it wouldn't be the older generation of humans who were influenced by the teachings of the church, but the younger ones who grew up later.
The 'toxicity' of this thing was far more effective than the Gospel of the Church and the endless narration of the missionary's scriptures!
"Bishops, the content of the recording is not over yet. Don't you think that we can still get some useful clues later on?"
The poison had begun to spread quietly. Heroria, the saintess, hoped that "Beauty and the Devil" could continue to be shown.
Heroria didn't hate the demons as much as the four bishops, so she could look at "Beauty and the Devil" from a more objective point of view. Her curiosity made her eager to know the content later on.
"As the saintess said, let's watch the end of this fake recording."
Under the saintess' request, the four bishops had no choice but to watch this infuriating movie until the end.
"Beauty and the Devil" reached the end, where Zenas was killed by the villagers and fell into Belle's arms. The four bishops should have applauded for the death of the demon.
However, the ending did not make them happy. It wasn't because the ending was touching.
From the perspective of the audience, the ignorant villagers were obviously the bad guys, and the demon prince was the good guy.
After watching this movie, the audience would not think that the demon prince deserved to die. Instead, they would feel sad and sympathetic for his death.
Humans sympathizing with the demon … This was the last thing the Church wanted to see.
"Everyone, do you have any thoughts?"
About ten seconds after the movie ended, Bishop Meyerg of the Court of Heresy broke the silence in the conference hall.
"We can't let this fake thing continue to spread …"
The bishop from the Holy Army realized the severity of the situation.
"Otherwise, these demonic creations will distort humanity's understanding."
"I agree with Bishop Koebler."
"…"
"Before we discuss how to deal with this demon, thank you for providing us with the clue, young cleric … God will remember your contribution."
Bishop Meyerg looked at his adjutant who was sitting at the back of the audience.
What they were about to discuss was confidential, not something a cleric like the adjutant could hear.
"Bishop …"
The adjutant stared at the crystal that recorded "Beauty and the Devil" on the center stone platform. He wanted to take it back.
"Your reward will be given to you later. You can leave now."
Bishop Meyerg ordered them to leave the hall. Just like that, the adjutant was brought out by the priest who came with him.
The moment the door to the hall closed, the adjutant's heart turned cold.
"Good job, Bona! With the bishop's appreciation, Noland's chapel will be expanded. You and I will have the chance to become clerics of a higher rank. "
When they reached a deserted corridor, the priest patted the adjutant's shoulder excitedly. However, the adjutant was not in the mood to care about promotions. All he wanted now was the crystal that recorded the video of "Beauty and the Devil".
"Saint … Saintess."
"You can leave first. I need to talk to this young cleric alone."
The adjutant looked up when he heard the familiar voice. Heroria, the Saintess who was sitting with him, was standing in front of him.
He stared into Heroria's pale gold eyes and calmed his heart. The frustration of losing "Beauty and the Devil" seemed to have disappeared instantly.
"I want to know more about what Nolan has seen."
Heroria admitted that "Beauty and the Devil" was interesting, but a romantic movie like this would not attract a senior judge.
Cheryl must have been bewitched by something else to betray the church, which could only be described as crazy.
"If I'm satisfied with what you've told me, I'll consider handing this demon's creation to you."
Heroria took out the crystal and showed it to the young cleric. Heroria could see the desire in his eyes.
