Chapter 266 Questioning
Temple Square was quiet for a moment.
The wheat-skinned man was sturdy, with flaxen curly hair half tied back. His cheeks were rough from years of hard work, but his eyes were bright, making him glow with a unique brilliance.
"Your Holiness, I have learned a lot from your teachings, but I also have many doubts. I pray that you can solve them—"
The man's voice was filled with strange magic. Even though the Holy Temple was protected by a magic circle, his voice still penetrated the restrictions and fell clearly into everyone's ears.
Is it a high-level wizard? But the amplitude of the magic fluctuations does not seem like that, and the Templar Knights immediately became alert.
The knights who were close to the man started to move, but their progress was slow and difficult because of the deliberately confused crowd.
Under the high platform, the knights of the Pope's Guard looked at Callisto. With just a look and an order, they would cross the sea of people and kill this disturbing and evil person in front of the palace.
Callisto did not move, ignoring the guards' eagerness to move, and looked up at the man who was grabbed by the ankles and lifted above the crowd by several people.
The magic power on him is very special, and Callisto takes it more seriously.
If we use force to control him, the consequences will be unpleasant, and the effectiveness of today's sermon will be greatly reduced, or even have a counterproductive effect.
There is no doubt that this is a little trouble that Lu Yi brought as an extra.
Callisto said calmly, "Now is the time for classic preaching. It is not yet time for the Holy Spirit to communicate."
It was clearly just a simple answer, but Harley felt as if invisible hands were gripping his internal organs.
Halley forced down the blood foam in his throat, and the pair of azure eyes in his mind once again gave him endless strength.
He forced out a fearless smile that was full of blood and blood. "Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. If I were not to resort to this desperate measure, how could I, an ignorant and dull person like me, get your attention? How could I get the doubts in my heart answered?"
"My path is unclear, I was in a state of confusion in the past. If I am lucky enough to understand it today, I will sacrifice my life and death to my God."
Harley never thought of leaving Kadivan alive, and when he happily accepted this mission, he had already accepted his own death.
Not a meaningless death in a stable, but a death in the hope of a new day that is yet to dawn. It is meaningful and a worthy death.
It was also one of the few things he could do for him.
Halle's eyes were bright, his tone was sincere and humble, but his words left no room for retreat.
The crowd's attention was aroused, and Halley pressed forward.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Callisto did not refuse immediately, but silently glanced at the cardinal next to the royal guards on the stage.
The cardinal remained calm, but a deadly magical attack was quietly launched from his sleeves.
This attack filled with the power of light was fast and accurate. It hit Halley like a target in an instant, but suddenly dissipated the moment it touched him in the next second, leaving no trace.
Callisto's eyes moved slightly. Immune to magic? Is this the weird thing about him?
After failing to hit the target, Callisto turned his attention to the guards.
If magic attack fails, what about mana attack?
The knight understood instantly, leaped into the air without hesitation, and attacked Harley's side.
The heavy sword slashed through the air towards Halle, the extremely sharp blade gleaming with a cold silver light, and under the swing of the sword, human bones and crisp vegetable leaves were indistinguishable. In less than half a second, the head would fall to the ground neatly.
The knights were all experienced practitioners, and Harley remained unmoved despite the extremely oppressive double-sided attack.
The heavy sword chopped straight at his arms, and an extremely harsh sound of metal collision and friction was heard.
Harley's arms were as strong as steel and remained unscathed by the knight's sword. He even had enough strength to tighten his muscles, and in front of everyone's incredulous gazes, he pushed the two knights back.
No matter how severe the pain in his internal organs was, Halle still maintained his composure on the surface.
The crowd fell into panic. Those around Halley were all trying to squeeze out. An inexplicable panic spread quickly. The entire Light Square was in chaos. The bishop and the knights had to work hard to maintain order on the scene.
Harley took advantage of the chaos to continue speaking, "If Your Majesty wants to silence me with death, then I'm afraid you are doomed to be disappointed. From the first moment I set foot on the holy city of Kadifan, I was determined to pursue the truth I longed for with death! Once Your Majesty answers my doubts, I will immediately die to apologize.
"The Holy See, or rather, Your Majesty, I pray that you can respond to me positively today regarding the three issues that you and the Holy See have avoided.
"The first question is, who is greedy for money and power? Isn't the Holy See of Light actually a sacred place of faith that saves the world? Among the common people, the wealthy people should donate everything, and the poor people should also donate everything, even the little bit of food that is left should be taken away.
"There are a hundred lists and topics for a hundred people to devote themselves to. They cultivate their minds and cultivate their souls in poverty, but the Church is becoming more and more extravagant and corrupt, giving us one ten-thousandth of the donations. Who is secretly greedy for money and power, polluting the holy place into a sinful and extravagant money and power exchange?
"The second question is, who determined the necessity of war? After the breach, it should have been a time for the human race to catch their breath and recuperate, but who was inciting the war? Who disregarded the teachings of the Church of Light and instigated the various empires to start a war, treating the lives of countless people and thousands of believers as nothing!
“For whom is this unjust blood shed? Whose brothers and sisters are we killing? The high and mighty popes, bishops, kings, nobles, and landowners have seized all the power and land, but what they have left for us are silent corpses!
"The third question is, who is deceiving the believers and misleading the world? The God of Light has fallen into a long sleep since who knows when. The light is gone, and villains are stealing the world. And you - Callisto, you stole the power of God, what exactly do you want to do!!"
Halle's voice was getting louder and louder, his passionate anger and generosity were like boiling magma, every word was soaked in hot blood and bitter tears splashing out from the gushing magma.
His anger was so real, veins bulged as if they would burst through his rough skin in the next second, his eyes were wide open, eyeballs were filled with scary red bloodshot, and he glared at Callisto's corpse as if he was dying with his eyes open.
"Have you seen our bodies? Have you seen our bodies!" Halle roared.
"Please, answer my question—"
After he finished speaking, Harley could no longer hold back and suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red hot blood, his vision going black from time to time.
His blood spilled on the believers in front of him, like a switch, instantly ending the dead silence. Screams and cries were loud and continuous.
The panicked crowd could no longer be suppressed. They were already confused by the rumors of the past few days, but the sermon before them not only did not calm them down, but the three questions from the unknown man made them panic again.
Is their faith leading them to destruction?
"Please be quiet for a moment."
Callisto's voice sounded gently in everyone's ears.
"Sir, I don't know what lies you have believed, but the glory and holiness of the Holy See will never allow you to slander like this."
Even in the face of such fierce accusations, Callisto's tone remained calm, as if Harley in front of him was just a clown.
Callisto was not thrown off by him, but said directly:
"Everything you said is untrue. I will only say one thing. On the day when Lu Yi, the favored one of Japan, was baptized, the God of Light sent down the gospel. This is enough to prove that the lie you fabricated is untrue."
"Really?" Halle smiled even more happily when he heard that.
"What if I say that the source of this last piece of information is the one you mentioned, His Majesty Victor, the God-favored One?
"It is precisely because he was inspired by the remaining power of the God of Light that he knew that the God was asleep. You thief are hiding your true colors and deceiving the world!
"You have been planning to besiege the New Victory Empire because His Majesty the King of New Victory has discovered the truth! You are afraid that he will shatter your false god dream and that countless believers will escape your control!"
"You can't answer my three questions because everything I said is true. It is the blood and tears of countless believers who were manipulated by you and died just wanting to live a good life!
"Callisto, just wait and see, one day you will be punished by God!
"Light is eternal! Humanity is immortal—"
"We will be free!!!"
Halle sang the final song of his life.
In a trance, it seemed as if a hand gently brushed across his head. This hand picked him out of the stable and also created memorable meaning for his life.
A huge scarlet blood mist exploded, and blood dripped like raindrops onto every believer in the Bright Square.
The noisy Guangming Square was now filled with deathly silence, and pairs of lifeless eyes were dull.
Callisto's gentle expression could no longer be maintained, and he ordered the knight to clean up the mess with an expressionless face.
This extremely grand death completely revealed the confrontation between the Holy See and the New Victory Empire, and also tore a rift in the perfect veil of the Holy See of Light and Pope Callisto.
…
…
New Victory Empire.
Lu Yi stood on the rooftop of the highest tower in the royal palace castle, and Ares squeezed one of his hands stickily.
Lu Yi indulged his clinginess, holding a small, dim magic crystal in his other hand.
He looked in the direction of Katifan, even though he knew he couldn't see anything because of the distance.
"Are you worried about him? He's definitely not going to survive." Ares raised an eyebrow.
He still remembered the slave who was rescued from the manor by Lu Yi, the slave who had met him once and had special magical fluctuations.
Lu Yi shook his head. "I can't explain how I feel. I didn't save him to let him die for me. He would be a very powerful wizard, a great slave leader, and maybe he would change the world."
Absolute defense, special magic power, plus his slave background, Lu Yi thought this was a standard revolutionary male protagonist script.
As a beneficiary of the current Western aristocratic system, it is unrealistic for Lu Yi to directly overturn the system, but this does not prevent him from sowing some seeds to change the world.
Lu Yi quietly clenched the magic stone in his hand, and his fingertips silently stroked the rough surface of the magic stone.
He could feel the heat of the magic stone in his palm getting lower and lower, and the already extremely dim light was extinguished bit by bit, until finally nothing was left.
A gray stone completed his final destiny.
I have to bury it in a beautiful place, Lu Yi thought.
