Chapter 139 Kingship and Theocracy

the next day.

Qi Yuanming walked out of the knight's loft with not much luggage.

There is not much luggage, and no extra clothes and weapons are needed.

Because at the gold level, it has long belonged to the category of "inhuman". Under the nourishment of magic power, the body is unbelievably strong, and it can split mountains and ground with just a single blow with the great sword of salvation.

Both divine arts and magic are involved, although they can't be said to be very strong, but they are useful under normal circumstances.

Not to mention the fact that the cutting blessing exists.

The current Qi Yuanming also belongs to the strongest group among the gold-level knights.

There are always knights patrolling the streets of the imperial capital, but at this time, there are extraordinarily many.

In the past, the imperial knights who were rarely seen a few times a day can now see a team every hour.

In addition to these, there are also guys dressed as civilians, hiding in the crowd and monitoring the passing pedestrians, trying to find abnormalities.

The usually bustling streets are also extremely deserted at this moment, with many fewer people than before.

All of this is in Qi Yuanming's eyes.

But what did it matter to him?

No matter what happened later, he had left anyway.

"Ok?"

The knight guarding the city looked at Qi Yuanming's knight certificate, and suddenly asked a question.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuanming asked.

"You are Lord Theo?" the knight at the city gate asked tentatively.

"Ah."

"Your Majesty has ordered you to inspect the murderer who kidnapped Princess Freya in the imperial capital." The knight at the city gate whispered.

what?
Did you hear me wrong?

"Is this what His Majesty meant?" Qi Yuanming asked.

"Yes, maybe His Majesty wants you to catch the murderer before leaving the imperial capital. After all, you are powerful, so you must..."

Qi Yuanming will automatically ignore the flattering later on.

But at this moment, he suddenly understood why Harlem VII had to accept this commission himself.

Not only an excuse, but also a move to test the Holy See.

Freya is just a fuse, a lead.

It doesn't matter even if she can't be found at all, Harlem VII will not care about the life and death of a daughter who has no inheritance rights.

He doesn't even care about the life and death of all the princes and daughters who have no inheritance rights.

And as a gold-level knight, he was highly valued by Louise, and he had also met the Pope many times.

It is considered a very important role in the Holy See of Redemption, and it is very likely to be trained as a high-level knight order in the future, so...

Perhaps the next step is to let myself search the Holy See.

Let the Holy See's own people check the Holy See, and alienate the relationship with the Holy See, and even use some means to provoke the relationship between the Knights and the archbishops...

As expected of Harlem VII, the talented and bold emperor of the empire.

This is a plan that is bound to bring down the Holy See, so that the royal power will completely overwhelm the divine power and become the only voice in the human world.

"This is Lord Louise's knightly order. There is a serious problem in Yolian province. His Majesty the Holy See and Lord Louise asked me to solve it."

Qi Yuanming took out the knight order he had just obtained yesterday, and showed it to the guarding knights.

After Freya was taken away, the city guards were no longer those lazy iron-level and bronze-level guards.

Instead, they were replaced by elite imperial knights and the guards directly led by General Budd, each of whom was a silver-ranked knight.

They naturally knew the gold content of the order of the apologists, and they naturally understood the greatness of the Pope and the status of Louise the Knight.

"This……"

The defending knights looked at each other in dismay.

After weighing again and again, they let Qi Yuanming go.

Just because the power of faith on this token is too strong, even unbelieving knights are shaken one after another under this kind of inspiration.

For some reason, all of them lost their heads, disregarding Harlem VII's order, and obeying the instructions of His Majesty the Holy See and Louise.

"Ha ha……"

Leaving the gate of the city, Qi Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief.

Run on horseback at the fastest speed, and leave the imperial capital at high speed.

Even with his strength, he can forcibly break into the city gate and leave the imperial capital by force.

But... escaping from the imperial capital and walking out of the imperial capital openly, the meanings of the two are quite different.

The former means that Qi Yuanming betrayed the empire, is the enemy of the empire, and the enemy of mankind.

It will be difficult to have a place in the empire in the future.

The latter is only a problem with the guarding knights, Qi Yuanming is reasonable and legal, there is no problem.

The teleportation array must not be used, because even the teleportation array in the church is jointly controlled by the Holy See and the royal palace.

I don't know what kind of conflict will break out between the royal court and the Holy See after leaving...

Qi Yuanming was not happy.

Before coming to the imperial capital, he thought the human world was peaceful.

There is no demonic invasion, or even anti-invasion demonic.

Although demons, undead, and some other messy monsters pop up from time to time, under the triple pressure of the Adventurers Association, the Imperial Knights, and the Guardian Knights, these problems will soon be resolved.

The empire is peaceful, and even the people at the bottom can live in peace and prosperity.

However, Qi Yuanming went farther and farther, higher and higher.

He gradually saw that under this peaceful and peaceful situation, hidden was the empire and the church, and the sharp conflict between the royal court and the Holy See.

Until now, as a gold-level trial knight, and serving as the queen's swordsmanship teacher in the empire, this contradiction has become more and more intense, and it is almost impossible to hide it.

Harlem VII will never allow anyone to stand on his head.

It is also impossible for Arman to agree to the decline of the Church of Redemption.

The contradiction between kingship and theocracy is a struggle of life and death.

But what does that have to do with him?

What does the church, the empire, and the two major powers of the human world have to do with him?

From a personal point of view, if Qi Yuanming has the strength, he will support the church, which is not surprising.

But without that strength, there is no need to get involved.

He didn't want to use his identity of [-] simulation points in it.

……

After getting away from the imperial capital, Qi Yuanming slowly slowed down.

But even if it is normal, according to his speed, it will take less than ten days to arrive.

It was Lawrence and Holo who brought him to the imperial capital before, but after becoming a trial knight, he found a place that might be Holo's hometown in the church books.

So I sent letters to the two of them, but there has been no reply, and I don't know how they are.

But now, he has become a gold-level knight and no longer needs the help of others.

But he still misses those few months of traveling, Lawrence's experience as a businessman, and his bickering with Holo, it was a good experience.

The hometown he wanted to return to was Yolian Province, which was a remote place in the southwestern part of the empire.

No fame, no special products, no special characters, not even disasters.

This time, it was the first time in hundreds of years that the church was asked for support.

And the village where Theo grew up, the village where Sylvia lives, is called Sige Village, and it is a remote place in Yolian Province.

Qi Yuanming planned to go back to the village first to meet Sylvia, and then go to the local Redemption Church to deal with that matter.

Wait until the weather in the imperial capital is calm before returning.

If possible, bring Sylvia back to the imperial capital.

I kept thinking in my heart, but the speed didn't slow down.
