When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 1031 Crown and Imperial Crown

Rocroissants took a half step back, clutching his chest with his right hand, large beads of sweat constantly streaming from his forehead, neck, and armpits.

This is not a matter of typography, but a huge issue of etiquette.

Unlike the previous issue with the Holy Throne City, it's not impossible that later monks, while copying the text, subconsciously copied the Palace of the Snake as the Holy Throne City.

It's one thing to miscopy one or two words, but to confuse the materials used for the imperial crown, or even to confuse the imperial crown with a crown...

Holy Father, could the "Biography of St. Lannister" really be a forgery?
"Cough cough cough—" Rocrova coughed, clutching his chest.

As for the monks watching, many of them knelt down and began to pray and weep.

The monks of the Holy Path Sect, while not quite in that state, were just as bewildered.

Not to mention the three months of preparation, even the scriptures studied for half a lifetime are all fake?
Even the theoretical basis for the church's existence is false?
"From this, we can even tell the year the forger lived in, which was probably the Dark Ages or the Second Great Frontier."

At that time, the roads were impassable, the castle and church were isolated, and the books were scattered and buried.

The local bishops were not highly educated, so they did not know the difference between the crown and the golden crown.

Just as a farmer might think that a king uses a golden hoe to till the land, and since lords of the time wore iron crowns, the emperor would naturally wear a golden crown.

In fact, wearing metal crowns is a Norn custom.

Elves, or rather the Elven people, have always worn silk crowns such as olive crowns, thorn crowns, and royal tiaras.

They wore the metal crown only on one occasion: during the worship of the sacred tree, when they wore a seven-tiered crown.

At this point, Rocroissants no longer cared about any grand gestures.

The moment he turned to face the other monks, he jogged off to find the other eight debaters for advice.

But the nine learned bishops and monks, after much deliberation, found themselves increasingly convinced that letting Broe was right.

Yes, if the "Biography of Saint Lannister" was written before the 33rd year of the Imperial Calendar, then why does the "Holy Throne City" appear in the text?
If the "Biography of Saint Lannister" is true, why did it make such a grave mistake in its rituals? The crown customs even followed Norn customs instead of El?

During the exchange, the nine debaters not only failed to find any errors in Jean-Baptiste's work, but also inadvertently discovered another error in the biography of St. Lannister.

That is, the Goths in the Windmill Country at that time were a tribe, and their tribal leader, King Lateran, was a posthumously honored king.

However, in the biography of Saint Lannister, not only are people calling him king, but he himself even uses the self-reference that only a king would use, "we" (implying that God is by his side).

"Good heavens, His Majesty has entrusted us with such an important task. Are we just going to stand by and watch that little priest on the frontier slander the great scriptures?"

Rocrova roared angrily at the other debaters, who frowned and gritted their teeth.

Some debaters even couldn't help but drift off into thought: if the Acts of St. Ran is fake, then what about the other parts of the Gospels?
At this moment, the turmoil inside the stadium began to stir up waves outside.

"The imperial crown is a crown, but how can the imperial crown be a crown?"

"Using gold and jewels... Damn it, the Holy Lord isn't a newly nobleman who turned from a merchant, why would he use gold and jewels?"

"The Holy Throne City, the Conch Palace City..."

"I'm reminded of that famous 'I am Alexandrus the Great' joke."

The noise outside did not affect Brock's continued output in the slightest.

He walked around the oval-shaped venue, his face slightly flushed with excitement, but his voice was even louder than before.

"For example, the term 'governor' doesn't exist in the El Empire; there are only generals or elders. It originated from the 'governor' of the royal court in the 5th century..."

"The text uses 'our Papa' to refer to the Pope, but until 235 AD, Papa was the exclusive title for the Bishops of the Holy See..."

"The El Senate only began to malfunction after the Gothic Rebellion. Before that, senators were present in all aspects of society, but there's none mentioned in the text..."

“According to tradition, all major events are reflected in coins and commemorative objects, and other biographical accounts have corresponding examples, but none of them can be found in the biography of St. Lannister.”

"The Bear Fortress mentioned in the document was established in the 4th century of the Imperial Calendar, while the concept of the area east of the Dragon Sleep Mountains was established in the 3rd century..."

"Not to mention the traces of classical Alphonse that its writing style imitates, and even the use of words that were taboo at the time..."

Previously, some debaters could still stand up and refute his arguments, but as Brock's evidence accumulated and corroborated each other, there was no longer any excuse left.

The only sounds in the entire palace were Brock's incessant ramblings on "The Life and Deeds of Saint Lannister" and the rustling of pen and paper as he wrote.

After Brock finished presenting his main evidence, no one in the room could raise any objections.

If it were just one example, the monks and priests who majored in the "Life of St. Ran" could still put on a brave face for a while.

There are dozens of examples here, and the examples even corroborate each other!

This border priest from the Juano sect has completely exposed the true nature of "The Good Deeds of St. Ran."

Even the forger's era was pinpointed to around the 5th century of the Imperial Calendar.

"Holy Father, Holy Father..." Some of the monks were already incoherent, and some even fainted from heatstroke.

Seeing that things were going badly, even two of the debaters on stage pretended to faint to avoid taking responsibility.

Grandiva's complexion cycled from white to red to cyan to black and back to white within an hour.

He kept giving Rocrova meaningful glances, but Rocrova could only lower his head and pretend not to see them.

"Horn of the Code! Rocrova of the Code! Grand Council of the Code!" Grandiva roared silently from within his chest and abdomen, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Not far away, Horn noticed Grandiva's angry glare, and even smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Grandiva worked tirelessly for three whole months—three whole months—without even meeting his lover. They gathered scholars from the entire Kingdom of Fran and worked day and night to build a theoretical fortress.

As it turned out, the Holy Alliance didn't even bring any siege equipment; they just dug up the foundation with a single shovel.

Saint-Lanlian's castle was in ruins before it was even completed.

The monks of the Shengdao Sect shared a similar feeling, and they conducted attack and defense simulations around "The Tale of Saint Lan Liangxing" for more than two months.

When I arrived at the venue today, not only were there no seats, but I even got a free seat.

Even more desperate are the scholars who have spent their entire lives studying "The Life and Deeds of Saint Ran."

The debate between the Holy Path Sect and the Divine Origin Sect lasted only two or three months, but they had been immersed in it for a lifetime.

After the falsification, all their papers, articles, and footnotes published in that order must be invalidated.

Upon hearing this, several gray-haired monks suddenly cried out, clutched their chests, and collapsed, sobbing.

"Doctor, doctor!"

"coming!"

"...Why did you arrive so quickly?"

"His Majesty Horn arranged for us to come here yesterday. There's a medical room in the small garden next door, and all the medicine is available."

"..."

Looking at the chaos and the monks and priests who were even trying to cross the long table to beat up Jean-Baptiste, Lemington sighed softly.

"The Holy Grandson is indeed no ordinary person; he can do things that ordinary people cannot."

Lemington looked at Jean-Baptiste in the arena with a complicated expression. He had actually made Juanozo famous.

This should have been his honor.

As for Svensson, he fell into deep thought.

These corroborating pieces of evidence are clearly written in the book, and they have read many of these documents several times.

Why didn't they realize it?
Not only Svensson, but also the other scholars on the stage were all pondering this question.

Although the examples given by Blow are scattered across many books, bronze plates, and stone tablets, they have been there for thousands of years.

Although the scholars present did not have photographic memories, they had reviewed the document many times, yet they still hadn't discovered it.

What exactly is the key point?
Some elderly monks, who were engrossed in theological studies, even picked up their pens on the spot and began to review Jean-Bullo's argumentation process.

At the same time, an even more terrifying issue rose to everyone's mind—

If so many errors and omissions have been found in just the "Acts of St. Ran," what about the entire Gospels?

Some scholars specializing in the Gospels trembled; this casual stroke of the knife threatened to erase most of their academic achievements over a lifetime.

"Ahem!"

After the initial shock, a deliberate, light cough broke the silence of the church. Everyone turned to see Horn standing up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this book, 'A Critical Study of the Biography of Saint Lan,' is actually a book that Saint Lian is about to print and publish."

The results were the result of a long period of research by our scholars in the Holy Alliance, under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste.

Once it's published, you can buy it at any of our bookstores across the country. It'll only cost 80 dinars a copy, and there's a 20% discount for opening sales..."

“Lord Horn,” Quivalin interrupted Horn slowly, “this is actually the question that everyone here wants to ask. I’m old and shameless, so I’ll ask it for them—how did you find so much evidence in just a few months?”

"Then may I first ask whether the French side has any objections regarding the right to personal freedom?"

Cuevalin and everyone else in the room turned to look at the seven French debaters, who were sweating profusely but dared not answer.

Finally, Campbell sighed and spoke calmly and gently: "There are no objections for now, but we reserve the right to reconsider before the end of the meeting."

In fact, in this aspect, or rather on this topic, the Holy Alliance is already in a dominant position, and we must avoid their sharp edge.

All their attacks relied on the "Acts of St. Lannister," but now it has been largely proven that the "Acts of St. Lannister" are unreliable, and they have lost their ammunition depot.

As for Horn, they definitely came prepared, and they need to go back and prepare again.

Grandiva spoke after a moment, his voice squeezed out through clenched teeth: "I agree with Archbishop Campbell's opinion."

As Grandiva, who embodied the hopes of all the disbelieving priests, bowed his head, nearly thirty priests and monks immediately collapsed to the ground.

The continuous "thump" sounds were like the school bell for Horn's little classroom.

He calmly began, “What Blow discusses in his analysis is actually a questioning of the scriptures.”

However, past skepticism often had its merits at times and its absurdities at others, because it was a summary of experience rather than a rational guide.

Perfectly, the next topic of our Grand Council will answer your questions—

Is the Father both the creator and ruler, or merely the creator?

　P.S. These research findings aren't made up; they actually exist in history, namely the story of "The Gift of Constantine." The 15th-century Italian scholar Lorenzo Valla wrote "A Study of the Gift of Constantine" to refute it, and the evidence in his work is largely adapted from his own attempts to disprove "The Gift of Constantine."
