Chapter 130 (1/2)

Aware of someone entering, the black dragon turned his head and stared at the people coming in with its ferocious eyes. The wings of the Dragon flapped, and the stench of the wind was blowing. In the wind, the flesh and bones of cattle, sheep and animals were smashed at the white robed friar.

White robed friars holding the chest of the cross, a light layer of light released, the stolen goods will be blocked. Holding a torch, he walked along the edge of the huge underground cave, admiring the captive dragon. Originally, it was just a stone like egg, which was brought back from the far north by the holy court with special means after the glacier, and hatched in secret in nearly 300 years.

Unfortunately, on the one hand, because the age of legend has come to an end, on the other hand, it is only a hybrid descendant of the real dragon, and the black dragon is far less than the legendary dragon.

A replica.

A replica that's shrunk countless times.

”The back of the legendary dragon crawls like an ancient mountain range.” The white robed friar sighed to himself, ”I really want to see what an amazing creation it is.”

The black dragon had calmed down gradually. The white robed friar approached the iron rope and put his hand on the mechanism.

”As a dragon killer, why not kill a dragon again?”

He said, with a strange smile in his voice.

………………

Legrand, Rose Palace.

The witch leader's suggestion to take the lead in attacking the ”Papal house” was similar to the last warning before the devil left. The king did not express any attitude towards it at that time, but after the hunting, the housekeeper immediately summoned Dean Anil at the king's order.

Or ”Archbishop Anil.”.

Not long ago, he was appointed Archbishop of St. Louis by the king.

When the king summoned Archbishop Anil, the witch leader temporarily hid. Although the king sheltered them, as a witch, she was always reluctant to meet the clergy. In particular, for the dark world, father Anil's name is much louder than the bishop of the twelve holy places.

”The house of the Pope.”

Hearing the king's inquiry, Archbishop Anil pondered for a moment, and then told the king in detail.

The so-called ”Papal house” means that the Pope enjoys absolute authority on all religious issues. The Pope is the head of the family, and all believers must obey it. [1]

”the Pope is the monarch of the spiritual world.” The king said thoughtfully that he had probably guessed something.

Instead of continuing the subject, he asked Archbishop Anil about the miracles of the holy Empire and the progress of the reformation in Legrand.

After the famous Legrand dispute, a group of theologians and scholars gathered at the gray hawk tavern in METZL City, where they held the first discussion on Legrand church reform. Later, when the Holy See launched the ”Hall of truth” on the other side of the abyss channel, General John almost tit for tat presided over the Legrand religious conference which the king had previously ordered.

In the ”Legrand jurisprudential dispute”, the Legrand church lost its judicial power. In the first religious reform conference, this point was further fixed in the form of ”Prohibition of appeal” on the basis of the book of obedience to the teaching law. On the surface, the ”Prohibition of appeal order” refers to the prohibition of bypassing the royal court and directly filing a lawsuit to the Holy See.

In fact, however, it is a more complete fragmentation.

It completely separated the Church of Legrand from the church that had become a holy empire. It not only completely cut off the judicial contact between Legrand and the Holy See, but also cancelled Legrand's tribute to the Holy See.

”It's hard to imagine that the implementation of the prohibition of appeal order is so smooth.”

Archbishop Anil said in a low voice that although he was not good at politics, he still had some basic knowledge. When the injunction was voted on, it was passed at an astonishing speed. Even some representatives of the high lords remained neutral in front of it for the time being, and the support rate of the lower class members was even astonishingly high.

”I thought you knew why, Monsieur bishop.” The king laughed in a low voice. He leaned back in his chair and reminded Archbishop Anil, ”you should be very clear about the court case.”

Archbishop Anil was silent for a moment, looking sad.

The king's fingertips were tapping on the armrest. On his desk, there were a lot of files he had already read. If he wanted to target the enemy, he had to know more about himself. The understanding of the Holy See was the king's assurance of implying that the reformation conference put forward the ”Prohibition of appeal order”.

He knew it would be supported.

Because the Procrastination of the papal court is notorious.

In name, the holy see is the Supreme Court of the whole church, but in fact, the Holy See has taken many cases that could be solved in the Bishop's and county Bishop's courts into its own hands. Even the local lords who did not support the king were extremely dissatisfied with this. To some extent, it also divided the economic income of a large part of the local Lord's court. On the other hand, each case submitted directly from various countries to the papal academy needs to go through countless hands. For each hand, there is a corresponding ”unwritten fee”, and in addition to these usual fees, there are more additional bribes. [2]Even the aristocrats with considerable income could not bear such exploitation.

Some people have made statistics, and the remuneration for a single part of the case summary is as high as dozens of times of the official fee [3].
