Chapter 2068: Holy Glory Hall
“During the thousands of years of development of our human race, there have been constant internal disputes, and many great nations have disappeared in the long river of history. For example, many years ago, the most promising kingdom to unify the kingdom after the Angudlo Kingdom was the famous Tis Empire, which was located in the west of the current Shengyao Empire. It once had a wise monarch, Westoan.

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

Unfortunately, as the center of the vortex of political struggle, the radical ambitious people have always coveted the throne of the Tis Empire. All this was seen by his younger brother Edward. He secretly instigated and helped the pro-war nobles. At the same time, he won over a large number of wealthy businessmen from other countries. When the dissatisfaction of the nobles reached its peak, he launched a coup.

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

In the capital of the Holy Glory Empire, Hathor, the largest building is not the royal palace, but the Holy Glory Palace. In the grand palace hall, an old man spoke passionately and encouragingly.

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

When the old man speaks, there is always a faint smile on his lips, which seems to contain tolerance and understanding of the world. His straight nose adds a bit of heroism to his face. Although the years have left marks on his face, his calmness and composure make him more charming.

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

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

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

"It's really sacred. I heard that the leading wealthy businessman who colluded with Edward came from Shengyao..." The woman in black dress not far from the old man didn't care at all that the old man in front of her was Pavlia, the Archbishop of Shengyao Hall, whose reputation in the entire Shengyao Empire even surpassed that of the king. With a hint of sarcasm on the corners of her mouth, she tore 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 an old man like me. What do you think? Young man, you are born to be a seedling suitable for slaughtering monsters. Do you want to join the Inquisition of the Holy Glory Hall?"

"If the benefits are in place, even gods can be killed." The girl in the black dress spat out cold words, with wisps of black smoke coming out of her body, which was completely out of tune 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 the archbishop in name only, so he should at least be respectful to the gods on the surface. In reality, the only gods he could respect were the goddess of life, Lina, and the god of judgment.

The goddess of life, Lina, is the main deity of the Holy Glory Temple, while the goddess of judgment, Klino, is the deputy deity. She controls justice and judgment and is the god of faith of the Inquisition.

"..." Talid said nothing, neither left nor agreed. She had indeed learned a lot from someone else's style of not releasing the eagle until she saw the rabbit. She was no longer the demon sickle who only knew how to kill. It was outdated to just plunder the enemy. Even if it was in her own camp, she would plunder as much as she could.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." The "evolved" Talide at least cost a lot to win over the Holy Glory Archbishop Pavlia into the Inquisition.

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

Legend has it that the Holy Glory 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 the holy light, and it also became a place for people to pray. Later, the capital of the Holy Glory Empire, Hathor, was also built around this temple.

When the gods disappeared and the first elemental catastrophe broke out, in order to maintain faith, the Holy Temple established a violent organization called the Inquisition within it. They secretly trained blade-wielding nuns and oracle priests.

When outsiders mention the Holy Glory Hall, people often associate it with solemnity and sacredness. However, the Holy Glory Hall also has an unknown side, and the Tribunal 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 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 Temple's beliefs and all targets that threaten the Holy Temple.

The Sisters of the Blade are a group of clergy who are responsible for carrying out these secret operations. They hunt and kill heretics who are infected with dark forces, cultists who have sacrificed their souls to the devil, and necromancers who preach the doctrine of death.

In fact, the current cathedral is not the original one. The core of the original cathedral was the power of the goddess Lina. After the disappearance of the goddess Lina, people's faith was shattered, the cathedral was destroyed, and the Holy Glory Hall fell into crisis.

The reason why Archbishop Pavalia's reputation in the Holy Glory Temple is at its peak is that he is committed to spreading faith, supporting the development of the current Holy Glory Empire, and rebuilding the current 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.
