Chapter 2074: Holy Glory Hall

"Our human race has been developing for thousands of years, and there have been constant internal disputes. Many great powers have disappeared in the long river of history. For example, many years ago, the most promising kingdom after the Kingdom of Angudlo was the famous Tis Empire. It is located in the west of the current Shengyao Empire. It once had a wise monarch, Westoan.

He advocated a peaceful foreign policy, greatly reduced the cost of war, and allowed the people to live and work in peace. Because of the economic advantages, the national strength of the Tis Empire gradually became stronger.

Unfortunately, as the center of the vortex of political struggle, the radical ambitious people are always coveting Tis. The throne of the empire, all of this was seen by his younger brother Edward. He secretly instigated and helped the war-loving nobles, and at the same time won over a large number of wealthy businessmen from other countries. When the nobles' dissatisfaction reached its peak, he launched a coup.

Now the Sauron Continent is ruled by the Holy Glory Empire. The Holy Glory Empire can achieve the final victory because we have noble beliefs and the blessing of the goddess Lina. The devil has begun to revive. For the light of Holy Glory and for the goddess Lina, I hope you can wield the sickle to slaughter heretics and bring down divine punishment on the enemy. "

In Hathor, the capital of the Holy Glory Empire, the largest building is not the palace, but the Holy Glory Hall. In the magnificent hall, an old man spoke passionately and inspiring words.

The old man's face is like a work of art carefully carved by time, and every wrinkle hides the stories and wisdom of the past. His hair is as white as snow, sparsely covering the top of his head, and occasionally a few strands of silver silk flutter in the wind, adding a bit of unruly and free and easy. His eyes were gentle and deep, as if he could see into the secrets of people's hearts. They were like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm but not dazzling, but with a cunning look when he spoke.

When the old man spoke, there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to contain tolerance and understanding of the world. His straight nose added a bit of heroism to his face. Although the years had left marks on his face, his calmness and composure made him more attractive.

Compared with his friendly appearance, the old man was dressed much more solemnly, wearing a gorgeous and solemn robe. The robe was mainly in deep purple, symbolizing authority and holiness. The robe was embroidered with delicate and complex golden patterns, which was a cross star.

The collar of the robe was inlaid with a circle of delicate white silk edges, which formed a sharp contrast with the dark purple robe. A heavy golden cross star necklace hangs around his neck, and every detail reveals the meticulous workmanship. The cross star sways gently on his chest, as if silently telling the power of faith.

He wears a towering bishop's crown, which is inlaid with multiple layers of gold wire and gems, and a bright gem is inlaid in the center, as dazzling as a star. On his hands, he wears white gloves, which are embroidered with golden patterns that echo the robes.

"It's really sacred. I heard that the leading wealthy businessman who colluded with Edward came from Shengyao..." The woman in a black dress not far from the old man didn't care that the old man in front of him was the Archbishop Pavalia of the Shengyao Hall, whose reputation in the entire Shengyao Empire even surpassed that of the king. There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, tearing off the shell of morality.

Pavalia just smiled indifferently at the woman's ridicule, and didn't take it to heart: "Haha... That's what the young people think, it has nothing to do with me, an old man. What do you think? Young man, you are born to kill monsters, do you want to join the Inquisition of the Holy Glory Hall?"

"The benefits are in place, even gods can be killed." The black-dressed girl spit out cold words, with wisps of black smoke coming out of her body, which is completely incompatible with the Holy Glory Hall shrouded in holy light.

"Ahem... Forget about the gods, just target the demons." Pavalia coughed twice. After all, he was also a nominal archbishop, at least he should be more respectful to the gods on the surface. In fact, the only gods he could worship were the goddess of life Lina and the god of judgment.

The goddess of life Lina is the main god of the Holy Glory Hall, and the goddess of judgment Klino is the deputy god, controlling justice and judgment, and is the god of faith of the Inquisition.

"..."Tyled said nothing, neither left nor agreed. It is true that she has learned a lot from someone else's style of not releasing the eagle until she sees the rabbit. She is no longer the demon sickle who can only kill. It is outdated to just plunder benefits from the enemy. Even if it is in one's own camp, she will plunder as much as possible.

The "evolved" Talid at least spent a lot of money to win over the Archbishop of Shengyao, Pavalia, to the Inquisition.

The reason why the Shengyao Temple has such a high status in the Shengyao Empire is that the Shengyao Empire did not come first, and then the Shengyao Temple. The history of the Shengyao Temple is much longer than that of the Empire. It was the Empire that named it after the Shengyao Temple.

Legend has it that the Shengyao Temple already existed in the ancient times when the gods were active. The temple preached that Lina was a belief in miracles and life, and with Lina's divine power, the current large temple was built for clergy to study holy light, and it also became a place for people to pray. Later, Hathor, the capital of the Shengyao Empire, was also built around this temple.

When the gods disappeared and the first elemental catastrophe broke out, in order to maintain faith, the Holy Glory Temple established a violent organization called the Inquisition inside, where they secretly trained blade nuns and oracle priests.

When the outside world mentions the Holy Glory Temple, people often associate it with solemnity and holiness. However, the Holy Glory Temple also has an unknown side, and the Inquisition is the embodiment of its harsh and ruthless side.

The Inquisition is a special spy agency set up by the Holy Glory Temple, but the Holy Glory Temple does not recognize the existence of this agency, so all the actions of the Inquisition are carried out in secret. The purpose of the Inquisition is to eliminate those evil heretics who run counter to the Holy Glory Temple's beliefs and all targets that threaten the Holy Glory Temple.

The Blade Sisters are a group of clergy responsible for carrying out these secret operations. Those heretics who are tainted with dark power, cultists who give their souls to the devil, and necromancers who preach the doctrine of death are all their targets for hunting and killing.

In fact, the current Grand Cathedral is not the original Grand Cathedral. The core of the original Grand Cathedral was mainly the power of the goddess Lina. After the disappearance of the goddess Lina, people's beliefs were broken, the Grand Cathedral was destroyed, and the Holy Glory Temple fell into crisis.

The reason why Archbishop Pavalia's reputation in the Holy Glory Temple is completely at the top is that he is committed to spreading faith, supporting the development of the current Holy Glory Empire, and rebuilding the current Grand Cathedral with the power of faith as the core.

The core of the previous cathedral was the power of Lina, so after Lina's death, the cathedral became unstable, and even the Holy Glory Hall fell into crisis. Now that it has been transformed into the power of faith, the foundation of the Holy Glory Hall is no longer the goddess Lina, but the many believers. It doesn't matter whether the goddess Lina survives or not. As long as the Holy Glory Hall saves lives in her name and dispels disasters with holy light, faith will always exist.
