Chapter 524: Church spokesperson (1/2)
Because the magic around the earth has periodic fluctuations, on sunny winter nights, you can often see more stars than summer nights.
In the night without wind, the blue sky is full of stars, and the starry sky carrying thousands of years of human fantasy is like a layer of colored glass in the world. It is beautiful and unreachable. The lights flashed in this new city, as if the stars were on a human projection, Veronica quietly stood in this city that was strange to her, with a faint light around her. Isolation of the cold air in the winter.
A steady and unobtrusive footstep came from behind, followed by the voice of the founding father who died and resurrected: "Don't like the environment at the party?"
"His Duke," Veronica turned around, and she showed a hint of quiet smile, marking the emblem of the Holy Light on her chest. "May the Holy Light bless you, this is a great dinner. But I prefer a quieter environment."
"God of the Light..." Gao Wen whispered, then looked at Veronica's eyes. "Does He also bless those who don't believe in Him?"
The “Vrind of the Virgin” is an elusive figure for Gao Wen. She is a gifted child of the royal family and a devout believer. She is the youngest living saint of the Church of Light, and is also a believer in the Holy Light. The most perfect princess in my heart, there are too many halo enveloped in this woman who is not much bigger than Rebecca, but under the brilliant eye-catching aura... What Gao Wen can see is nothing but nothing.
He couldn't see Veronica's true intentions and actions. Although all the words and deeds of the other party perfectly fit the "female design" of the "Vrind of the Virgin", all the words and deeds are like elaborate gemstones, perfect and flawless. Blood is meatless. In a close conversation, he never hears any true mood swings and personal likes and dislikes of the princess. He can always feel the "happiness and warmth" without change, but this is the kind The eternal warmth of forever makes Gao Wen feel that there is only one cold in the soul of this princess.
Is it really because Veronica’s beliefs are so religious that it has become heterogeneous like a Holy Spirit?
Gao Wen didn't think so, so he decided to test her attitude in a more direct way when communicating with Veronica, but what disappointed him was that Veronica's face was still quiet and tone. There is almost no change: "The Holy Light will treat all creatures equally, whether believe or not, He is there, measuring everything in righteousness."
“Do you include the poor who can't pay the redemption?” Gao Wen asked faintly.
"The **** of light does not need human money, but the church needs a good starting point, but it does not necessarily bring good results. Those sacred officials whose beliefs are not strong enough will be corrupted by money, and the redemption of money in some areas becomes a means of collecting money. We did notice this and are already working on it."
This is the perfect answer between the defense and the non-defense, and promises a righteous and no deadline. Obviously, the princess who believes in the **** of the Holy Light is also skilled in the aristocratic circle.
Gao Wen did not continue to entangle on this topic, but directly asked: "What do you think of what happened in Lu'an City?"
Even with such a straightforward topic, Veronica's indifferent attitude has hardly changed: "His Majesty is very concerned about the situation in the South. In the past period of time, we completely lost the news of the Southern Diocese, and then the information came. It is very disturbing. Lord Duke, we have no intention of interfering with your rule, but we must be responsible for hundreds of thousands of believers in the South."
"The hundreds of thousands of believers in the South are doing very well now, and they still believe in the Light. Most of the Church of the Light on this land is still in normal operation. The sermons and ceremonies are on schedule," Gao Wen said. “The only difference is that people have redefined the rules with their own choices.”
Veronica looked at Gao Wen’s eyes quietly: “The way they set the rules include breaking the church in Lu’an City and screaming the priests there?”
"The priests of Lu'an City refused to obey the new rules and refused to die. This is really embarrassing, but I still feel sorry for what happened in Lu'an City," Gao Wen spreads his hand to make Amber and Pitman. The calm attitude of the city will be amazed. "The priests in the cathedral used a lot of **** and brutal means to maintain authority and gather wealth. I believe that they are the kind of sages that you just mentioned are not strong enough." Their mistakes should be corrected as early as possible to prevent them from going further and further on the road of turning their backs on the gods. However, it is regrettable that the anger of the people first reached a high point."
Gao Wen sighed and continued: "When the chaos in Luan City, my army strictly adhered to the command of 'no attack on the church' and was stationed far away from the city. This is because the priests of Luan Cathedral have been from the beginning. It was forbidden to get close to the situation and the control was lost. My knights and soldiers did their best to rescue, but unfortunately, because of the high road, they could not save one."
To be honest, there was such a very short moment that Gao Wen was sure that he finally saw a horror in the eyes of Veronica.
However, this horror almost subsided immediately, and the voice of the Princess of the Virgin is still not urgent: "Your statement... has a very novel perspective."
"This is a fact, and the evidence is everywhere, and more importantly, the people of Cecil prefer this situation," Gao Wen did not expect Veronica to be so indifferent in this case, but It does not prevent him from continuing. "In my opinion, it is not important for the order of Lu’an City to be appointed. The survival and interests of the people are always better than the so-called 'orthodox'. I have no prejudice and hostility towards any church in the church. I am happy to accept that any church will survive on my land, but they must abide by the rules here."
Gao Wen is willing to communicate slowly with Victoria and negotiate slowly, because in his view, Wang Guojun is the big customer who will ensure that Cecil can develop rapidly, and the big client needs to be carefully maintained, but he and Veronica When you communicate, you will directly throw your own attitude because he is really impatient with the huge church that is difficult to extract benefits.
"The survival of the people is better than the 'orthodox'..." Veronica repeated the words of Gao Wen, and then raised her eyebrows. "So where did this 'rules' come from?"
"Seven hundred years ago, I decided with Charlie."
"So it seems that this is your attitude," Veronica said calmly after a moment of silence. "Impressive, and quite daring in this era... I don't express my opinion on this, but I think the Cathedral of Light will probably not be very happy after knowing your attitude."
"That depends on how you think about the situation in the South and the whole Ansu," Gao Wen said. "But I have a suggestion. If you can't change the status quo, you should be optimistic. After all, the South is still the church with the Light." Did not expel any of the priests and pastors, they still live on this land to teach, at least no one announced that they are heretics."
Veronica looked at Gao Wen: "...you want the independence of the Southern Church by the Holy Light Cathedral."
"You have the right to verbally announce that you do not recognize this, I don't mind."
