Mystery: The Stars Returner

After experiencing many things that happened some time ago, they more or less noticed that there was something wrong with the gods they believed in.

This is also the reason why His Majesty the Pope chose to leave the church. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that He secretly received the oracle's instructions and acted.

In the days without the Pope, the interior of the church did not look much different from usual, but it felt a little strange.

At that time, they simply thought that this phenomenon would occur because there were too many recent events, people's hearts were wandering, and there was no backbone of the Pope to calm down the situation.

Unexpectedly, the entire Eternal Sun Church was almost hollowed out.

The evil god who dared to compete with the eternal blazing sun has secretly extended his tentacles here.

More importantly, God did not give them the revelation they deserved!

Does this mean that their gods are no longer able to care about what is happening here?

The four bishops who were still alive had complicated expressions and different thoughts, and there were screams in their ears.

The fire rack under the pope's crown is different from the ordinary fire rack. It will not burn the sinner easily, but will burn and roast him bit by bit from the outside to the inside, from the body to the soul.

Cleansing souls and cleansing sins are not empty words for His Holiness the Pope.

The two bishops who had reneged on their faith did not withstand the torture of the fire for too long. Only five minutes later, their shrill screams came out of their throats, which gradually became inaudible. Their bodies were completely burned, and their spiritual bodies were completely burned. The golden fireworks turned into a wisp of smoke and dispersed.

When everything was over, Ross Hurley did not put away the burning, but looked at the other four bishops, "The firmer your faith in God, the less likely you will be deceived. Only people with unclean minds will They are a lesson to you for being seduced into corruption, and I hope I won’t have to personally send you to the stake in the future.”

"Praise the sun!" The four bishops bent down in front of the statue and shouted loudly.

"The unclean seeds have begun to spread. To find them and then send them to the stake one by one is the best loyalty to the gods."

Ross Hurley then taught them how to identify heretics within the church who had polluted their faith.

What they believe in is the reborn sun, not the eternal blazing sun.

All they need to do is bring them to the statue of God, drink the holy water contaminated by baptism, and then recite classic church psalms and praise the sun.

Any believer with impure beliefs will appear before God one by one.

After the four bishops left, Ross Hurley put away the rack and sighed heavily.

In the end, it is just a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.

Pollution is permanent. No matter how pure your faith is, it will be completely swallowed up sooner or later.

Moreover, doing this on a large scale will also disturb the minds of the believers, which will instead give the evil god an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But you can't leave it alone, otherwise the rot will erode the heart. It's better to cut the flesh than the bones.

It is God's business to solve this problem from the root. What he can do is to ease the process as much as possible.

At least before the god falls, his temple will still shine brightly.

Rose Hurley stayed alone in the temple in silence for a long time, until he felt something in his heart, and then left the temple.

On the outskirts of the capital Trier, Bernadette, who was sitting on a carriage before entering the gate of Trier, glanced at Cattleya, who was sitting quietly next to her, "You need to find a place to stay first. Sora I will come find you again.”

"where are you going……"

Before Cattleya finished speaking, Bernadette's figure had disappeared.

Looking at the empty seats, Cattleya sighed silently and opened the curtains. The capital Trier was already in front of her.

The carriage drove into Trier without any obstruction. Cattleya got off the car and walked along the street, feeling the unfamiliar scenery of her hometown while looking for a suitable residence on the street.

According to her original idea, she wanted to buy a suitable villa as the queen's residence, but now that she was alone, it was more suitable to stay in a hotel temporarily.

In the end, she found a hotel with the best decoration style and looked particularly grand to live in. She deliberately booked only one room so as not to miss the opportunity to meet the queen.

When she followed the service staff outside her room, the door of the opposite room opened, and a young couple walked out of it?

The man's dazzling blond hair, clothes and temperament clearly indicate that he comes from a noble family, but he doesn't look like someone from Intis.

The girl was wearing a long black palace dress that was incompatible with the Intis style and a small black soft hat. She looked delicate and beautiful.

A very well-matched young couple.

Cattleya only looked at it briefly, then withdrew her gaze, walked into her room, and closed the door.

I vaguely heard a few words of conversation coming from the young couple outside.

"really interesting."

"What do you mean?"

"It's very interesting."

Cattleya frowned slightly. What kind of conversation was this? People who heard it looked confused.

This kind of person who is good at riddles is annoying. He always likes to make things up and cannot speak complete sentences.

Without thinking too much, she came to the window sill, opened the window, leaned forward slightly, and stared at this city with a different style.

The customs and customs of Intis are different from those of other countries, and the buildings here are also particularly unique. I heard that when Emperor Russell was still alive, he used one fell swoop to promote nationwide reforms.

But with his sudden fall from the White Maple Palace, the Sauron family who came to power later tried their best to revise various laws and traces of existence left by Emperor Russell.

This back and forth has caused the architectural style of Intis to become polarized. In addition, the people of Intis have free customs and strong individuality, so they do not have a unified style like other countries.

Cattleya looked at the distance for a while, then lowered her head and looked down at the street.

The young couple who passed by him just now were wandering on the street. The girl was walking into a clothing store to choose clothes, while the man stayed in a cafe outside the clothing store, ordering a cup of coffee and waiting.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but the man seemed to be looking at her, but when she looked away, the man was slowly sipping fragrant coffee.

She glanced a few more times to confirm that she was wrong before looking away and looking at a Judgment Square in the distance.

Intis has always had a tradition of executing criminals in front of ordinary people.

But today's execution scene was a bit strange. The eight prisoners were all believers of the Eternal Sun Church, and they were still wearing white robes issued by the Eternal Sun Church.

And they were tried and executed for blasphemy.

The pile of firewood began to ignite, and the raging flames quickly swallowed up those Eternal Sun Church believers who had committed sins.

……

At night, before Cattleya could wait for Bernadette to come to her room, she heard new movement on the other side of the door.

She is not a person who likes to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, but the movements and voices on the other side are loud.

After listening for a while, Cattleya understood what was happening.

Tonight, she happened to encounter a patrol coming to this hotel to investigate suspicious persons. According to the description of the two soldiers, they were looking for a priest who had escaped from the church.

dong dong.

There was also a knock on Cattleya's door, so she had no choice but to open the door and go out to cooperate with the investigation and questioning.

"If you encounter a suspicious person, remember to report the information. If the information is true, you will receive a considerable reward."

The two patrol soldiers continued to knock on other rooms, looking for people one by one based on the portrait they had.

"It seems that there is a serious problem within the Eternal Sun Church. What a coincidence." The man suddenly spoke.

"You've always had good luck." The girl with delicate appearance said calmly.

"I will take your words as a compliment to me." The man said, then turned to look at Cattleya, "Madam, are you a new traveler to Intis?"

"Ah."

Cattleya nodded lightly and closed the door without any desire to communicate.

After a brief interlude, everything returned to calm.

She thought that the night would end like this, but late at night, Cattleya, who was lying in bed unable to sleep, suddenly sensed the queen's aura and got up from the bed.

But what made her feel strange was that the queen's aura came from the house opposite.

Could it be that the Queen went to the wrong room?

After only a slight hesitation, she pushed open the door and walked outside the door of the opposite room.

Looking up, the room was brightly lit, and three figures were faintly reflected.

The most familiar figure among them is the queen she has been waiting for, and the other two figures should be the young lovers.

Does the Queen know them?

They were discussing something, shouldn't I interrupt them at this time?

So as not to make the queen feel that she is ignorant, too clingy, and has not grown up yet.

When Cattleya was full of emotions, the queen's voice came from the room, "Do you want to stay outside the door until dawn?"

Cattleya didn't hesitate anymore, pushed open the unlocked door and walked in. Then she walked silently and stood behind Bernadette. She didn't say anything, but glanced at the young couple with curiosity in her eyes.

"You must have met today, right?" Bernadette said to Cattleya again: "Hasta and Sharon, they are from Backlund in Loen and they are my friends."

"Cattleya, the queen's follower." Cattleya gave a brief introduction.

Hasta naturally recognizes this Cattleya, the Star Admiral across the sea, Huang Jiajia, also known as Xingjiang.
