Chapter 442: 440: Deep Talk (Subscribe)
The Church of the Sun God is almost the only source of faith in the Old World, and its power is unquestionable.
The source of its strength is not only because there is a powerful god behind it, but also because it has a complete training mechanism, sufficient resources, and a profound foundation accumulated over time.
In the Old World, it was common for countries to rise and fall, and to break up and reunite.
Only the church has been passed down from generation to generation.
Among these, many institutions even originated in ancient times.
For example, the Knights Templar was the most powerful knightly order specially formed when the Sun God launched the war of faith unification.
They followed the Lord of Light, fought battles in the south and the north, expelled foreign races, and faced countless powerful enemies before they established this vast land of faith.
Even later, as time passed and the church evolved, the Knights Templar have become history.
But the Knights Templar is still the highest knight title in the church, without a doubt.
Each of them represents enormous power and noble status.
It can be said that with this badge and this certificate in hand, no matter where you go, the local nobles will treat you like a king.
Otherwise, it would be a disrespect to the Church of the Sun God and a great disrespect to the Lord!
But because it was so noble, when the badge was pushed in front of Luo Yi, he was stunned.
His Majesty Saint John Stuart seemed to understand Roy's hesitation and said, "The Church also needs to maintain its reputation. Since they are willing to teach you sacred combat skills, they must have a reason to silence the outsiders!"
Luo Yi added: "But isn't this Templar Knight going too far?"
“So, we actually prepared three sets.
If you don't even dare to fight, then I can only give you the title of Sworn Knight;
If you can survive a few moves in my hands, I can give you the title of Paladin.
Now, you have fought me back and forth, and the Paladin is not worthy of you, so I can only use the title of Knight Templar.
I'm lucky, because if I hadn't brought this, things would have been much more difficult."
Even though the impression wasn't very good, Luo Yi had to say something praiseworthy: "The church is really generous!"
His Majesty Saint John Stuart chuckled, "The Church does have many problems. Over time, it has become old-fashioned and rigid, and is filled with worms. Some people are truly incompetent..."
"Your Majesty!!!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cardinal in black. Some things should be said in private.
But what if I say it in front of so many people and it gets out?!
When the black cardinal spoke, the other bishops all looked at him eagerly, as if they were afraid that he would say something outrageous again.
His Majesty Saint John Stuart knew the expressions of his men without even turning around. He paused, feeling quite helpless.
He continued, "However, once you reach a certain level, you will find that many of the things the church does are actually for the benefit of this world and the entire human race."
Luo Yi asked in return: "Including this war, and also including the restrictions on magic energy machinery?"
"right!"
"hehe!"
Luo Yi grinned, but it was just a smile, and he did not hide his disdain.
His Majesty Saint John Stuart tilted his head slightly, waved his hand abruptly, and said, "You guys go out first!"
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules!"
"I said, get out of here!"
He suddenly became angry. His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, shaking the whole room.
Several cardinals fled away, not daring to say anything.
Then, His Majesty Saint John Stuart looked at Roy again. Roy just thought for a moment and waved his hand.
Then, the people from Luo Yi's side left the room one after another.
Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil, and Old Hoover were the last to leave. He closed the door considerately, took two steps forward, and stood at the door, completely isolating himself from the possibility of others approaching.
Inside the room, seeing that everyone had left, Luo Yi also picked up a cup of black tea, took a sip, and then asked: "Your Majesty, everyone has left, do you have anything to say?"
His Majesty Saint John Stuart said, "Earl Roy, you seem to have a lot of opinions about me?"
"I have no problem with you, and I certainly don't have any problem with the church."
"You're not even sure what you're saying, are you?"
"Then what do you want me to say? You seem to have forgotten that the place where we just fought was the former ancestral land of the Raymond family?"
"I'm sorry about what you said, but you should understand that the church is too big and there are too many voices within it."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Luo Yi took a deep breath, his expression softened, and he said, "Your Majesty, I can feel your kindness.
So, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly."
His Majesty Saint John Stuart no longer hesitated. He said directly, "I just want to ask you about your opinion on magical machinery."
"My opinion is just my opinion. It has nothing to do with your church. Do you care?"
"I care, at least I care, and I want to hear your opinion."
After a pause, His Majesty Saint John Stuart said, "I'm not lying to you. There are many contradictions within the church, and there are even more voices.
But in one war, the Habsburg Empire really gave us several hard slaps. In the Battle of the Marne, we barely managed to maintain the situation because of our fouls.
But this kind of thing can’t last forever.”
"Therefore, almost all the upper echelons of the country know that reform is imminent, and magical machinery is unstoppable!
The church has also been hit hard, and we are also looking for more reliable methods.
So, I want to hear your opinion.”
"After all, when it comes to machinery, yours is the most successful case outside of the Habsburg Empire."
Luo Yi raised his head slightly and said, "Do you really want to hear it?"
"I really want to hear it!"
"Then you can just treat what I said as nonsense, okay?"
"you say!"
"The promotion of machinery has become a foregone conclusion, and the rapid development of the magic energy industry is also the trend of the times.
You took all kinds of precautions, but this war destroyed everything.
So, instead of wasting time, why not find a way to join in? "
"How do I join?"
"Faith is faith, and machinery is machinery. I don't know why you seem to have to tie the Seven Gods and machinery together?
But in my opinion, the two are completely different and unrelated!"
At this point, Roy really wanted to speak freely, and he explained: "Your expedition team this time, that mechanical calamity Gendar Herik.
As far as I know, he was born into the church, his family has believed in the Lord of Light for generations, and both his parents work in the church.
His path to becoming a mechanical mage was entirely accidental; even when the war began, he returned to the church without hesitation.
"Until now, he is also a devout believer in the Lord of Light, but does this have anything to do with his career path?"
“No!”
"Let's talk about my place. The Seven Gods faith is still a very small group of people, and most of the people are still devout believers of the Sun God.
But does this conflict with their work related to machinery?"
"So, I'm confused. Why do you insist on involving the struggle of faith in magical machinery?"
"Actually, you're wrong about one thing!" His Majesty Saint John Stuart suddenly said:
"What's wrong?"
"The Seven Gods are related to the magical machinery!"
"What's the connection?"
"They come from the same source, and this is something the church must be wary of."
Luo Yi said directly: "Then tell me, what is the source of the Seven Gods? What is the source of the magic energy machinery? Why must we be vigilant? Why do we need to suppress it?"
"this……"
His Majesty Saint John Stuart was stuck. He paused for a moment before saying, "I can't tell you. Please believe me, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that you're not strong enough!"
Luo Yi was speechless. He paused and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore, even if what you said is true."
"The Seven Gods and the magical machinery come from the same source, but now, you have to separate them.
The seven gods belong to the seven gods, you can fight for your faith, but the machines belong to the machines, what should be promoted should be promoted, and what should be developed should be developed.
Otherwise, if you guys are so restrained, the coalition forces may not be able to hold out for much longer."
“You have the upper hand in high-end combat power, but the Habsburg Empire still exists, which means you cannot completely exterminate it.
If we continue to allow magical weapons to develop, you can imagine the consequences."
His Majesty Saint John Stuart stared at Roy with bright eyes: "These don't seem to be something that can be thought of at the last minute, right?
You seem to be on the side of the coalition forces, and you've given it a lot of thought?"
“Thinking from different perspectives is my habit.
So, I have said everything I need to say, and that’s it. I don’t want to discuss the topic of magic machinery anymore.”
"That's enough you've said. Well, that's it. Let's talk about other things now."
"Of course it's the sacred fighting skills. I've done so much just for these sacred fighting skills.
I just wonder when the great Saint John Stuart will be free to teach you."
"Then tomorrow, I will organize what you said and pass it on to His Holiness the Pope.
As for the lectures, they are still in the Lion Castle ruins, is that okay?"
"certainly!"
Third update!
