…
Philibell, who was wearing a crimson robe and a soft hat, suddenly stood up and took the letter from the pastor. Was it because Nicolay and Valente successfully assassinated Felipe that the Congress of Magic was infuriated, so the Highest Council was going to attack all the major churches in the parish of Holm to wash away the shame with blood?
This was the only way to explain why the sorcerers who were bribed would send the message so urgently. If the Congress of Magic broke into the Radiance Church of Holm, it would be very easy for the sorcerers to find out that they were bribed. Also, for the sorcerers, if they wanted to profit from this, it was the best choice to maintain the standoff between the Holm parish and the Congress of Magic.
Philibell glanced at the letter in his hand. He had been in charge of the parish of Holm for many years, and he was used to dealing with sorcerers both openly and secretly. He knew very well about the sorcerers' sinister and mysterious means, such as curses, unknown toxins, and mediums that could trigger spells that could invade one's mind. Therefore, even though he was very concerned about this issue, he still did not stop checking the letter in the letter.
After making sure that there were no hidden magic traps, Philibell tore open the letter and took out a thin piece of paper.
"The leaders of the Will of Elements designed a simple experiment by simulating the natural environment … Under the observation of many arcanists and two night watchers, without any interference from magic or the gods, after a week of cycles, the first life forms were born in the experiment device, including the Asparagus Life Substance … and so on. The cognitive world of two night watchers and an old sorcerer who believed in the God of Truth collapsed, and they were destroyed by their own holy light or spiritual power on the spot. "
"Seven days to create the world. Are you referring to Cardinal Philibell in seven days?"
The paper was filled with words. The content was not complicated, and it mainly described the device, materials, and results of the experiment. It seemed that Philibell was not worried about other people's verification.
"Life substance? Primitive natural environment? "Philibell, the shrewd old man, mumbled to himself as if he was in a dream. He was no stranger to the handwriting of the letter. In the Kingdom of Holm, he often had the chance to see this handwriting. It was the handwriting of Douglas, the president of the Congress of Magic, a grand arcanist who never cared to lie and was obsessed with the pursuit of truth.
Since he dared to write this and even attached a complete experiment design, there was no doubt about the authenticity of this experiment.
Philibell's hand trembled as if he was having a stroke. The age spots on the back of his hand spoke of his old age and weakness. "Lord, are you testing our faith? Lord, why did you let nature give birth to miracles that only belong to God? Lord, why do you want mortals to enter the realm of God? "
His crystal-clear "Saint Soul" appeared in his body. Rays of light illuminated the study, making it quiet and gentle. The letter in his hand seemed to be floating down slowly.
"What is the matter with you, Philibell? How can my faith in the Lord be shaken? " Vaharall roared as he noticed that something was wrong with Philibell. Black ripples appeared around him and devoured Philibell's burning holy light.
Philibell calmed down and shook his head, "Vaharall, Varantine, my faith in the Lord has never wavered. You don't have to worry about my cognitive world collapsing. As early as the successful experiment of synthesizing carbamide and fatty acids, I had already expected such a day to come. However, I didn't expect such an impactful result. It almost hurt my soul. Mortals are dreaming of the power of God! "
"What the hell is in this letter?" Varantine guessed that it was related to the follow-up experiment of the Life Force Theory from Philibell's words. He thought that he had "corrected" his understanding of the Life Force Theory, and he was mentally prepared. Therefore, he bravely picked up the letter from Philibell's hand.
Philibell did not stop Varantine. Instead, he quietly observed Varantine's reaction. His eyes became cloudy and deep.
"Bastards! These evil sorcerers should go to hell ten thousand times! How dare they enter the forbidden zone of God! They … They really let life force be born in the natural environment?! "
Varantine did not expect such a horrifying experiment. Not only did it overturn the Life Force Theory, but it also shook the core idea of the Life Force Theory that only God could give life. This was something that he could not accept. He felt that his understanding of the True God, the world, life, faith, and the principles that made up the core of the world that he prayed to.
Golden blood spurted out of Varantine's mouth, and his body began to glow in the holy light. Although his soul was hurt, he gritted his teeth and said, "War! War! War! War! Only by purifying the entire Congress of Magic can we restore the glory of God! "
Fortunately, Varantine had already experienced the impact of the two experiments, and there was no evidence of the experiment. Therefore, even with Douglas' promise, Varantine was not seriously injured, let alone being devoured by the holy light. However, this was the first time Varantine had suffered such an injury since he became a saint cardinal for 169 years.
On the other hand, the hot-tempered Vaharall did not have much of a reaction after receiving the letter. Instead, his expression was extremely ugly as he gritted his teeth. "I think it's time for us to shift our focus from the northern heretics to these blasphemous evil sorcerers. They are trying to enter the realm of God! "
Vaharall was a legendary Knight. His power came from his own will and the Blood Power bestowed by God. Although his faith and prayers were the main support of his will, he did not have the ability to perceive the world. Even if his belief was shaken, it would only weaken his faith and his will, but he would not lose control of his Blood Power. At most, he would not be able to control his Blood Power perfectly in a battle.
"Now, the most important thing is to block the news and calm down the people, and then slowly change the pastors and cardinals' belief in the God of Life." Philibell emphasized the main problem at hand.
The pastor who delivered the letter was trembling slightly when he saw the reaction of the three grand cardinals in the study. He did not dare to look at the letter on the desk.
At this time, there came some hurried footsteps from outside the study. A cardinal wearing a red robe, a cape, and a square hat of the same color rushed into the study. As a powerful man, there was a hint of fear and anxiety on his face, "Lord Philibell, a pastor from the Radiance Church has been devoured by the holy light. Also, from all the churches in the diocese, most of their pastors and cardinals are not in a good mood! Although only two of them were devoured by the holy light, and less than thirty of them did not dare to pray, they are all very confused. They are eager to ask you to prove that the experiment of the birth of the life substance in the natural environment is fake! "
"What?!" Philibell was even more shocked than when he saw the letter. How did the Congress of Magic do it?
…
In the early morning, many newspaper boys were walking on the street with cloth bags over their shoulders, which were filled with newly printed newspapers. They shouted loudly, "Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Holm Weekly is printed in advance!"
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Big news! Big news! Holm Weekly will be published in advance! "
On the street, the citizens who were wearing round hats and hurrying to work all stopped and handed five copper coins to the newspaper boys. Holm Weekly was published in advance, which meant that there must be something important in it!
Because of the influence of the magic school model and the influence of the sorcerers' research results on ordinary people's lives, the Kingdom of Holm and several other countries were more educated and literate than the mainland countries on the other side of the Storm Strait. Therefore, the circulation of newspapers in the Kingdom of Holm was relatively large. Also, this was Renstadt, the capital of the Kingdom of Holm.
The other nobles who were not in a hurry were enjoying their breakfast while reading Holm Weekly, which they had been subscribing to for a long time. Among them were the pastors and bishops who were always paying attention to social trends.
A young pastor walked out of his room and walked to the dining hall of the church. When he finished his prayer, there were bread, butter, sausages and other food on the table, and there was a newspaper on the right side of the knife and fork.
"Holm Weekly? Isn't it published in two days? "The young pastor asked the trainee beside him.
The trainee answered respectfully, "My lord, the newspaper boy who brought the newspaper here was not very clear about it either. It's said that something big happened in Renstadt."
The pastor was a bit surprised. He unfolded the napkin and picked up the newspaper to read it carefully. On the first page, the old king was hunting in the royal hunting ground as usual. Many nobles followed him, but Prince Patrick did not show up.
"Something big?" The confused pastor turned to the second page, and a striking black title appeared in his sight. "An Experiment Simulating a Primitive Natural Environment".
"An experiment? Since when can sorcerers' work be published in the newspaper? "The pastor continued reading in surprise. As he read, he shouted angrily, "Lies! Shameless lies! Blasphemers! Damn blasphemers! "
The pastor's fury scared the trainee pastors and they all stepped back. They watched the pastor stand up and throw the plates on the ground, making a crisp sound.
After a long time, the pastor murmured to himself in confusion, "Lies! It must be a lie! I'm going to report this to the Grand Cardinal and ask him to prove that it's a lie! "
The same scene happened in most of the churches in the parish of Holm, and almost at the same time in the churches in the Kingdom of Colette.
The Congress of Magic had shown great control!
…
"That's what happened." The red robe slowly calmed down.
Philibell asked seriously, "Why did Holm Weekly publish this experiment?"
"The headquarter and the branches of this newspaper were all controlled by sorcerers, and the newspaper was printed simultaneously in every city." The red robe explained, "But they left after the newspaper was published."
Philibell was a bit confused, "How did they manage to communicate with each other in most cities in real time? The sound transmission circle is also very expensive. Do they have the time to prepare and set it up? "
"Lord Philibell, we haven't found out the reason yet."
Seeing this, Vaharall said seriously, "Philibell, you take control of the situation. I'll ask the pope for instructions."
After the emergency plan was arranged, Philibell was the only one left in the study. He sighed slowly, "Did we misunderstand the Lord's revelation?"
…
In Lance, the Holy City.
Pope Benedict II looked calmly at the Grand Cardinals who had different expressions but were equally angry. He raised his scepter and said sternly,
"Have you forgotten the Lord's teaching? It's the soul that ascends to Mountain Paradise, not the body! " If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation. "
