Chapter 178 You Xiang's White Robe and Red Robe
Youxiang, the heart of Fein, is located in the mirror sea in the center of the mainland. Just one city occupies a small half of the mirror sea.

In the last era, Youxiang was also known as "City of Thousand Islands".In this era, all the original islands have been turned into cornerstones, under the majestic buildings, and the name has gradually been forgotten, replaced by "City of Paradise".

Even a magician from the Storm Islands, looking up at this city that is piled up with gold, silver and jewels, and still can't see the edge as far as the eye can see, can't help feeling shocked and inferior.For outsiders from other countries, Youxiang is the paradise mountain of the main plane.

Local residents are not proud of this metaphor, and they think that Tiantangshan is not as good as Youxiang.

According to ancient legends, the angels of Tiantangshan still have to go out early and return late, collect morning dew, harvest god wheat, weave clouds of light, and bring drinking water, food and light to Tiantangshan.

But in Youxiang, the magnificent magical barrier not only protects the whole city, but also turns night into day, and the joy and joy are endless all night long.Various materials such as fine wine, food, spices, and fabrics from the whole continent are continuously supplied to the needs of the city, and there is never a shortage.Even their servants only have to go between the temple and the residence to carry the needed supplies.

Millions of residents living in Erxiang have prayed and worshiped every day in accordance with the scriptures formulated by the Cardinal Council of the Holy Court Kaim Church since they were young, rain or shine.By reciting the name of Kem and following the rituals of Kem, the soul will be connected with Kem.

People with mediocre aptitude or lack of piety, although they live at the bottom of Erxiang, do not have to worry about hardship.They lived in the outer layer of the fragrance, earning gold bushes that even the country nobles envied from the tourists and students from the whole continent, and at the same time reaping the admiration that the country nobles could never enjoy in their lifetime.As a woman, she would rather marry an ordinary person who is fragrant than become a princess in a remote country, this is the consensus of most Finn people.

The few lucky ones who were noticed by Kaim bid farewell to their parents at a very young age, entered the inner seminary to learn various skills, and understood the way to further respect Kaim's beliefs.They will obtain the profession of priest or paladin in the college, and then enter the church, and grow from priest to deacon and priest step by step.After a long climb, very few people became Kaim's patrons and finally stepped into Purple Mountain.

Purple Mountain, the top of the fragrance, stands the heart of the loyal court, the crown of the Kaim Church: the Holy Church of Loyalty.

The bishops in white robes walked along the swing corridor bridge and entered the top floor of the Faithful Church.Seeing this scene, the paladin on duty was so surprised that he forgot to salute for a moment.

Except for the birthday of God Kem every year, when did you see almost all the white-robed bishops gather together?
The bishops all looked solemn, and did not speak out to reprimand the guards for their rudeness.

They passed through a gate of light with spells such as detect evil, and entered a magnificent palace.

It seems that this is a part of the main hall of the Loyalty Sanctuary. The [-]-meter-tall Kaim statue just exposes its entire head in the hollowed out center, but the bishops all know that this place is isolated from the main hall.

The white-clothed bishops first prayed to the Kaim statue, and then stood in a semicircle, bowing their heads respectfully and waiting.

After a while, lights and shadows flickered, and people in red robes appeared one by one.

White robes are bishops, red robes are cardinals.As the world knows, there is no pope in the Church of Loyalty Divine Court Kaim, and cardinals are also reserved for demigod-level existences.

Cardinals are dressed in red robes and form the Council of Cardinals, who are in charge of the authority of the entire church and even the entire court.All cardinals are legendary, which is a prerequisite for them to wear the red robe.

There are a total of eleven red-robed people. Except for the two cardinals who preside over the war in the east and handle secret affairs in the north, the entire cardinals are here.

But the white-robed bishops all know that, except for the old man in the middle, most of the other cardinals are projections.Since it is a legend, most of the time will be spent on practice, spying on the path to the demigod.Only at important moments, such as now, will the spirit be separated and the affairs of the church will be agreed.

"You are here..."

An old man in a red robe in the middle said: "We all know the matter, I hope you have already formed a countermeasure."

"Your Excellency Cardinal Benoit..."

Myriel, the oldest in the white robe, spoke on behalf of everyone. Although he was older than the other party, his extremely mellow tone showed his respect.

The lower-level clerics and believers were equally respectful when facing their white robes, but Myriel knew that it was just awe of authority.And their white robes against the red robes, in addition to the awe of authority, there is also fear of God's will.Kaim's divine favor, divine favor, divine punishment, and oracle are passed down by the red robes, and the red robes are the extension of Kaim's will in the mortal world.

Millier said: "What happened in Alanis has shaken the faith of many grassroots and middle-level clergy, and even the bishop of Valentine, Brintto, has been shaken a little."

The red robes of the Cardinal Council seldom show up in public, and Myriel is the oldest white robe bishop. In the eyes of Youxiang people, he is equivalent to Youxiang's big housekeeper.

Benoit said indifferently: "Brinto? His beliefs have deviated before, and it should be Ruen's death that stimulated him. We will notify Cardinal Baudouin and let him pay attention to Brinto. As for the middle-level and Grassroots, it is your job to strengthen their faith, this is not something that cardinals need to talk about."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I just, just emphasized the seriousness of the situation." There was a thin layer of sweat on Mirière's forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it off.

He looked back at his colleagues, gained strength from their approving glances, and summoned up the courage to speak: "We believe that after Teresia obtained the Sword of Loyalty, her distortion of Kaim's will became more and more serious. If she obtains the shield of protection, the consequences will be unimaginable, and she must be stopped from the source!"

"Are you trying to transport the Guardian Shield back to Youxiang?"

Benoit's tone was very firm: "This is absolutely impossible! In the last era, Kem killed the god of tyranny in Tangus, and the sword of loyalty was corrupted, so it can only be sealed there. The shield of protection remains in Valentine, It is used to seal the Benuin gods in the east. If it is transported back to Youxiang, it will cause a catastrophe enough to destroy the world."

Myriel felt that his wisdom was not enough to think about the predicament in front of him: "But Theresia..."

"She is just a thread used by Kaim to clean up false beliefs. Kaim's faith has been overgrown. She and the nobles of the kingdom behind her are eroding the foundation of Kaim's belief. Kaim hopes to use her to see who is still alive. Those who have orthodox beliefs have fallen to the point of leaving the church, using their vulgar and ignorant souls to arbitrarily amend their beliefs and defile the holy light of Kaim!"

"As for the Guardian Shield, it is impossible for her to obtain the approval of the Guardian Shield. Instead, she will accept Kaim's final judgment!"

Speaking of this, Benoit's tone became cold and stern: "But this is not the reason for you to give up on Valentine! Kaim doesn't want her to go that far! You must do your best to defend Valentine! Stealing and playing tricks Those who commit suicide will receive the most severe punishment from Kaim!"

Millie and the others were letting out a sigh of relief. It turned out that Kaim had already arranged everything.Theresa is following the path set by Cam, towards the end of her ignominious fate.

Hearing Benoit's warning, they hurriedly swore and swore that they would go all out to win the war.

"In Alanis, in order to complete the plan, Kaim opened the prelude to the war of gods in advance, which is the price he had to pay. You have to let the ignorant mortals know that this is not Kaim's will, but Teresia's will. will."

A female red robe made a voice: "Even with the wisdom of mortals, you should know that using Alanis's affairs will weaken Theresia's strength and expand our strength. This is no longer a civil war among Kaim believers, you guys Still don't understand?"

Millie and the others pondered for a moment, all showing expressions of enlightenment.

"Let the whole of Finn know that it is not Kem who is slaughtering the living beings, but Teresia is the executioner." Another man in the red robe said more directly: "Let the Valentines treat her as a slayer and firmly resist her Let the churches and believers of other gods fear her and stay away from her. Let the paladins of the God of Justice regard her as an enemy, and set off a wave of opposition to her in her hinterland and on her flanks..."

The cardinals were all wise people, and they finalized the measures to deal with the situation in a few words. Mirière and other white robes left happily with renewed confidence.

In the hall, the figure in the red robe still remained.

After a long silence, Benoit said: "The situation is indeed serious, and we must ask the archbishops to take action."

"The arrangements we made on the Guardian Shield may not be foolproof, and Kaim's response to Theresia is indeed shaking the church's faith. What I just said to Mirière was just to appease them, and I still need to come up with Practical measures to boost the confidence of the middle and grassroots."

"Last month, the divine power collected has dropped again. The production of witches has not increased significantly, and the operation to obtain Rose's corpse has also been hindered. Before the archbishops hold us accountable, we must submit a formed countermeasure to them."

A red robe with a neutral voice who couldn't tell the difference between male and female said: "I feel that there is a force behind Teresia, a force that seems to transcend fate to support her. Many changes are also the same in the entire era, even the first two Era has never seen before."

"I noticed it too!"

The female red robe said in a firm tone: "From the rise of phantom dramas, to the changes in the Storm Islands, and the emergence of magic guns, behind all of these, there are magicians. It’s a sign of the empire’s reappearance. I think that the lowly people in the Storm Islands who overthrew the Golden Family want to use Theresia’s hand to regain the dominance of the main plane.”

Benoit shook his head: "Don't compare the current magician with the magician 3 years ago. The essence of these lowly people is no different from the previous golden family. They are too closely related to the goddess of commerce. They are more willing to extract gold bushes from mortals than to rule mortals, and use them in exchange for magical resources with the Outer Races."

"As for the conspiracy, a certain emerging god dormant in Hadron is more noteworthy than the magician. Not long ago, it was her priests who disrupted our actions in the Molten Field. Behind Teresia, there is also that The figure of a Pope."

"The revived Eros is just a small character who wants to fish in troubled waters," the neutral red robe said, "Compared with her, I think we need to be more vigilant against Ms. Ye. As I said earlier, Teresia seems to have gained another Blessed by a powerful god, her soul is pure and flawless, and she has been extremely powerful since she was a child! Contacting the movements of the former King Hadran and the changes in the corpse of Rose in the Misty Swamp, that god is likely to be Lady Ye!"

"I think this is Ms. Ye's arrangement. She sent Theresia to Kaim 19 years ago, confusing Kaim's will. Otherwise, it can't explain Theresia's specialness. She was studying in Youxiang time, our faith-impregnation has no effect."

Benoit sighed: "Actually, we have a chance. When Teresia became the only saint in Kaim, we should have kept her in Youxiang. We felt bad last year and wanted to make up for it, but we ended up making things worse. This step."

"Don't blame yourself, that's our collective decision," said the female red robe, "and when we applied to the archbishops for an oracle, they didn't object."

"Benoit is right, the situation is grim, and the archbishops need to take action at a higher level." A voice older than Benoit said: "Complaining, pursuing responsibility, and speculating on the trajectory beyond fate are meaningless. We Make specific comments to the archbishops."

The hall was silent again, and after a while, Benoit said: "No matter what the specific countermeasures are, it is no longer suitable for a decisive battle in Alanis, but we must prevent Theresia from moving forward."

"Clement's actions on the ice field have already paid off. In three or four months, we will have a large army and turn the attention of the entire world in another direction."

"I think it is a countermeasure to delay the time and submit a proposal to the archbishops."

The other red robes all nodded, and the female red robe said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that the trajectory of fate is too messy in the Misty Swamp. Otherwise, we should devote all our efforts to Rose's corpse, and we should be able to solve the current problem."

"Since the archbishops also think it is a dangerous place, let's not think too much about it," Benoit said, "What we have to do now is to order the white robes to prepare the sacrifices. Summoning the will of the archbishops requires a lot of divine power." .”
