[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

From the power of the dragon, how fascinating, but unfortunately there is another sentence, the cunning rabbit dies, and the good gong hides.However, Samuel pays attention to the first sentence. As for the latter sentence, he is not afraid. The Holy Son is a life-long career, and he does not have to worry about his own safety until the next blond appears. The right to speak has gone up, and the Holy Son himself cannot control the power.

In the past history, the Son of God would never get involved in the Pope's dispute.Generally, the Holy Son travels around the world and rarely returns to Fern, and no matter who becomes the Pope, it has nothing to do with the Holy Son. Even so, all parties competing for the Pope will try to win them over, just to make a good impression , Or count on the Holy Son to say a good word, whoever let the Holy Son walk on behalf of God is very popular among ordinary believers.Although ordinary believers do not have the right to vote, the attitude of the Holy Son can easily affect the cardinal priests and cardinal deacons. These two levels of clergy are very close to ordinary believers. Therefore, the main requirements for being elected to the Cardinal Council are faith piety and Virtue, and those who have contributed more or less to the Holy See, who can rise here, are, broadly speaking, good people.

Samuel has already met three of the four parties competing for the pope. After the ceremony that day, a monk took Samuel to meet his important colleagues one by one, so as not to meet but not know each other.Another one didn't come back until a few days ago because he was out of town and couldn't make it back.

Samuel didn’t have any outstanding impressions of the other three. Anyway, they are all 50-[-]-year-old old men. At first glance, they seem to be relatively conservative and stubborn, and they are not easy to persuade. Moreover, Samuel knows that they are The traditional one, who pays attention to the unforgivability of those who are abandoned by God, especially hates the blasphemy area, and wishes to burn it all clean.

If such a character becomes the pope, there will be no room for Samuel to play. Maybe he will be arrested as an undercover agent who promotes kindness.And the one he has never met, it is said that he is just over thirty, young, and his thinking should not be so old-fashioned. If he is also so ingrained, Samuel can only start to increase his prestige now, and then become a splitter up.

Samuel stood in front of Elijah Hobbs' door, thinking about him in his mind.This cardinal who became one of the twelve members of the Council of Cardinals at a rare young age did not come from a common pious and moral family, and he took over the priesthood step by step from his ancestors, and most of the cardinals , are all of such origin.In the Holy See, it is very common for a son to inherit the father's position. Organizations other than the Cardinal Council operate in this way. After taking over the priesthood handed down to them after the deathbed of the previous generation, it is easier for those with a foundation to rise up. They think Such believers receive deeper edification and are better able to serve God.

On the contrary, He Bosi was born in a poor family of ordinary believers. Although the faith of such a family is unquestionable, worrying about livelihood often affects the purity of faith. Rich people believe in God because of their spiritual needs. Children from such families rarely have the qualifications to become priests, not to mention that Ho Bosi’s family has been counted down for several generations, and there was even a child who was excommunicated. heresy.

Excommunication is the most severe punishment of the Holy See. In comparison, the death penalty and the burning punishment are nothing in their eyes.In Samuel's view, this excommunication is similar to the modern deprivation of all personal rights, which refers to depriving a person who has made mistakes of his status as a believer, prohibiting him from participating in any rituals of the Holy See and God, and prohibiting anyone, including his His wife and relatives kept in touch with him, and declared that even after his death, he could not return to the embrace of God.In a gregarious society, this is quite a severe lifelong punishment, especially the one that prohibits returning after death. For a believer, it is tantamount to declaring that he has been abandoned by God.

Although it sounds not as good as depriving the body of criminal laws such as death penalty and burning, the condition for the implementation of excommunication is that the person is a heretic or a schismatic person. It is wrong, and he is right, in fact, it is the difference of party, but this kind of people also believe in God, so this kind of punishment is the cruelest for them, and the death penalty is for conversion and witchcraft For them, excommunication will not make them feel painful, it is better to die directly.

Although excommunication does not implicate future generations-this is what Samuel admired the Holy See. As long as the offspring of the wrongdoer do not know, they will not be implicated. Indispensably, it will be difficult to walk in the neighborhood, and people will use this to attack if you are not careful in your words and deeds. Generally, if a surname makes such a mistake, it will gradually disappear in history, but He Bosi is abrupt. He has risen, and even climbed to the position of cardinal archbishop, which has to be called a legend.

It is said that this person has great virtues and mighty holy power. He started to do good deeds in the name of atonement for his ancestors. He is also a well-known bishop who came from a commoner background. After Samuel knew his experience, he felt that such a person should be For a big career, what a standard protagonist experience.As long as he is not paranoid, the discrimination he suffered when he was a teenager should not support the policy of universal punishment.Samuel finally knocked on Hobos' door after thinking about Hobos' experience.

"Please come in."

A jade-like voice came, and Samuel had hallucinations in an instant, as if this person was as gentle as Samuel's definition of a gentleman, even though he spoke the language here, he still had a European appearance.Samuel pushed open the door, and saw a figure sitting on a desk next to a row of bookshelves with various theological classics. Just as he put down his pen, he was taken aback when he saw Samuel's appearance, and then he said with a smile:

"Holy Son, I don't know if you came to my place?"

Almost instantly, Samuel fell in love with this man.This feeling is very strange, he has been vigilant all the time, how can he feel that a person is very good and worth relying on just because of a meeting?But he also knew that He Bosi did not use any tricks to please people, but his natural charisma and affinity, which made him fall in love with him instantly. There was no falsehood, as if a voice was saying that this person was worthy of liking.

Samuel felt that there was no need for him to restrain this feeling, as long as he liked it, he liked it.

He Bosi said that he was in his 30s, but his face was very young, not handsome, but he was easy to be liked, and at the same time mixed with the stability and maturity of a middle-aged person. His eyes when looking at people make people feel that He loves God, the world, and you in his eyes.For a moment, Samuel didn't know how to answer. He felt that he was blaspheming him by trying to push him to the Pope for mutually beneficial cooperation. Can the first impression someone likes be defeated?

In short, Samuel couldn't say anything about politics or power, he just smiled, and subconsciously developed his acting skills, took out his holy and noble template of the Son of God, and silently changed the purpose of coming to him today became a theological discussion.

They discussed for a long time, and Samuel is already very good at fooling people. He has a good memory now, and he has memorized a lot of theological books. Coupled with some innovative and not deviant views, he successfully made He Bosi praise again and again. , praised him as worthy of being the Holy Son who made Shenyinshu shine brightly, and said that it was no wonder that he hadn't become blond and blue-eyed for many years, so it turned out that the essence was concentrated on him.

Samuel couldn't help blushing from the praise, a kind of shame rose from his heart, and he almost wanted to confess to Ho Boss how dishonest his heart was.This feeling was very strange. In an instant, Samuel realized that there was a power similar to Hobosi's in him. He exaggerated the appeal of himself and his words, so that people couldn't help but be convinced by him and dedicate everything to him. .

But even if Samuel realized this, he found that he couldn't hate Hobbs. He was like a brainwashing artifact. All Samuel could do was to hold himself back from revealing his secrets, and the rest was Give it to He Bosi and let him take him away.Waiting for the two of them to talk until it was dark, Samuel reluctantly said goodbye.

He felt that he had found his "idol".Samuel is now at an age where he still worships people, and he has never met a few reliable people when he came here. Now that he sees He Bosi, who makes people feel particularly safe, he can't help feeling dependent.This has nothing to do with strength, it has to do with character. In particular, Bosi Ho is really charismatic and capable of leadership. Even if they have been discussing theology, it is not difficult to know Bosi Ho's political and civil wisdom.

As soon as he went back and told Edwin, Edwin became sour:

"Be careful that you are sold by him, and you have to praise him for selling well!"

"He's a really nice guy."

Samuel still nodded appreciatively.

"I talked to him all afternoon. At least I can be sure that he is not the kind of old-fashioned person. What he believes in is God, and what he believes is the earliest oracle recorded in the book of Shenyin, not the Holy See after thousands of years. This is a system and law that has evolved and slowly changed over the years. This is a pure believer, how rare. I think many believers now have changed their beliefs long ago. Some people always feel that this is for the good of God, and even that it was ordered by God, they have long been confused, it is not God that they believe in, but the God that later generations think."

"I will look for him again in a few days, and I will tell him that I am on his side."
