Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

Sant'Arno is currently thriving.

Not only did he successfully become a bishop, but he was also canonized while still alive.

It's clear how much the Vatican values ​​Angel Town.

Angel Town's prestige once rose to an unbelievable level.

It has become the second holy site in the Western world after Jerusalem.

Arno went to the dilapidated little church.

He reported everything that had happened recently to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen cultivated in the dilapidated little church for more than half a year.

As time goes by.

The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth also began to thin out.

The dark energy leaking from the broken barrier between heaven and earth began to dissipate.

However, Ye Zhen has almost fully recovered.

Right after Arnold finished his report.

Arno did not leave the dilapidated chapel as usual.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Zhen's eyes were slightly closed, and just sitting there, he exuded an invisible pressure.

Arno bowed and said, "My lord, I heard from outside that the Albi Crusade and the Order of Our Lady are..."

"It was the angel who secretly supported it."

"I don't know if this is true."

Although rumors are circulating widely outside that the Albi Crusades and the Order of Our Lady are related.

It was the angels in Angel Town who were behind it all.

That is precisely why the Vatican is helpless against this faction.

It is now known in some Western aristocratic circles.

The Pope himself intervened, accompanied by the chief inquisitor of the Inquisition.

But none of them managed to break down the heresy of the Church of Our Lady.

When these Western European nobles learned of this news...

They were utterly shocked.

Because during this period of time, regardless of the previous timeline.

It's still on this same world line.

The power of the Roman Catholic Church was at its zenith.

There is a so-called Papal State.

In the eyes of these people, the Papacy is an absolutely invincible entity.

The previous eight Crusades have already proven this point.

Therefore, virtually no nobles would do anything reckless.

They deliberately went against the Vatican.

It will only lead to a dead end.

But now, an anomaly has emerged.

The Albi Crusade under the leadership of the Order of Our Lady.

They are still safe and sound.

This really makes people imagine a lot.

The Pope bowed down? He couldn't even defeat the Order of Our Lady?
This must have shocked the royalty and nobility of the Western world.

Another point is, if that's the case...

Are they about to start currying favor with the Albi Crusade?

After all, some people are quite adept at changing their stance depending on the situation.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a high position now.

However, for the current French royal family...

This is torture.

The King of France, who is now Philip II.

The strongest person in the country of France, a level nine mage.

The title "Dharma King" is actually a dual one.

On one hand, he was the King of France; on the other hand, he was the powerful King of Mages.

Philip II was considered the most likely candidate to become the next Holy Magician.

Whether it was talent or hard work, Philip II belonged to the top tier of people.

In addition, the entire Capetian royal family supported Philip II.

Philip II may very well break through and become a holy magician in the future.

However, the whole of France is about to undergo a change of regime.

Because the Albi Crusaders were almost at the city gates.

Ever since the Pope personally intervened but failed to completely eliminate the Albi Crusade.

Although the Albi Crusade was reduced to only one-third of its original strength.

The rest of them were annihilated by the light of purification, leaving not even a corpse.

If it were a normal army...

Two-thirds of the soldiers were dead, and the morale of the entire army had long since collapsed. It was simply impossible for them to continue.

But now the Albi Crusade is not only not in disarray.

Instead, they headed directly north, breaking through the entire northern part of France.

They marched directly to the city gates, arriving at Paris, the capital of France.

Philip II also felt a sense of powerlessness.

Because although Raymond VI and his men suffered many losses.

Even most of the supplies were destroyed.

However, Raymond VI then directly recounted what happened that day.

All of it was publicized.

Especially the fact that the Pope and the Chief Justice personally came here.

This news was deliberately spread by Raymond VI.

The Vatican would never do such a thing.

Because this would only damage the reputation of the Vatican.

Now the news is basically known throughout the Western world.

Even the presence of the Pope and the Inquisitors could not resolve the Albi Crusade.

Instead, they were repelled by the Holy Mother Society.

Do you think there's any truth to this?
That must be true.

Are there any exaggerated descriptions? Of course, there are.

However, telling the truth and telling the whole truth are not the same thing.

Even selectively stating only a portion of the facts is still a fact.

So, under Raymond VI's propaganda...

To outsiders, the Virgin Mary would have believed that she single-handedly defeated the Pope and the Inquisitor.

To ordinary people, the Pope is a being no less than a god.

They were actually repelled by the Holy Mother Society.

Even the presiding judge couldn't get it off the hook.

"Has the Church of Our Lady become so powerful now?"

"Even the Pope himself couldn't solve it."

"It seems the Holy Mother Society is making a strong start."

"We'd better not mess with this Church of Our Lady."

So this is the effect of information warfare and cognitive warfare.

The Papacy has indeed withdrawn.

Meanwhile, the issue of the Church of Our Lady remains unresolved.

The Pope did not personally eliminate the Order of Our Lady and the Albirex Crusade completely.

This incident is destined to be a disgrace to the Vatican.

The Albi Crusaders, after surviving the catastrophe.

They were also considered to be people destined by fate.

It's amazing that he was able to survive under the Pope's rule.

On the one hand, Raymond VI promised to grant them titles.

He received both land and rewards.

On the other hand, they received a promise from the Virgin Mary in the Society of Our Lady.

"All my brothers and sisters who died in that war."

“Souls will ascend to heaven; you are fighting for your faith.”

In addition, there's the information circulating widely outside.

The Albi Crusades are supported by the angels in Angel Town.

Soldiers in the Albi Crusade.

Those who survived were promoted and given higher ranks.

Even death is enough to speed up your journey to heaven.

Either way, it's a profit.

The Order of Our Lady is now capable of directly repelling the Pope.

Who would still say that their saintly figures lack real power?
Joining such a Protestant group means a very promising future.

The journey of the Albi Crusades northward.

That was unimpeded.

Some cities had already opened their gates to welcome the royal army well in advance.

This is much simpler and easier than when I was in the south.

Even Raymond VI's ambitions were growing.

At first, he only wanted to become king.

It would be quite an achievement to be able to conquer southern France and become king.

Taking over the whole of France is now a foregone conclusion.

Raymond VI's gaze had already turned beyond France. (End of Chapter)
