“Rules must be followed!!”

The door to the heavy conference room had just been opened when everyone heard a thunderous voice coming from it. The voice was so loud that everyone felt their eardrums buzzing. However, no archbishop was surprised by this.

They just lowered their heads and walked slowly into the hall in two rows. The archbishop's meeting did not start until all the archbishops arrived. Instead, the central bishops first explained their opinions and views, and then started the formal meeting.

. To put it bluntly, the central bishops first resolve their differences internally and then discuss with the outside world. But now it seems that this process does not seem to be so smooth.

There are nine people in the central bishopric, and these nine people are the supreme rulers of the nine temples. They are called supreme bishops internally, and the person speaking now is Julian, the supreme bishop of the Temple of Mona, the God of Harvest.

The gods he believes in give people different feelings. The supreme bishop has a bad temper and a loud voice. To be honest, it is not unreasonable for uninformed people to mistake him for a servant of the god of war. After all, look at him

He looks like a believer in a god who prays for a good harvest and ensures a good harvest.

"The practices of the Temple of the True Eye have deviated from the rules of the Templar Order. They not only interfered in the secular affairs of the world, but even got deeper and deeper into it. This is not correct! We must let them stop this behavior immediately

, and withdraw immediately!!"

Supreme Bishop Julian's voice shook the entire hall as if it was trembling slightly, and dust fell from time to time. When hearing his words, the other archbishops held their breath and said nothing. The supreme bishop's

He is notoriously bad-tempered, and whoever falls into his hands will be in trouble.

The entire parliament hall is in the shape of a semicircle. It looks like a planetarium. The lower ring seats belong to the archbishops. The supreme bishops stand at the top of the center of the ring. At this moment, they are sitting on the top ring.

On the nine chairs, Julian stood up even more excitedly. Seeing how his whole body was shaking with anger, it really made people wonder if he would accidentally fall down and die.

"We did not violate the rules."

Murray, the supreme bishop of the Temple of the True Eye, obviously would not be convinced that the other party would give him a big hat.

"The fact is that the current Kalkaran region is indeed in a vacuum, and someone must be responsible for guarding order. The Soros family cannot be trusted, and since the 'Freedom of National Salvation Army' is willing to come to the door, they hope that the temple will assist them in maintaining order.

Order, then this is our unshirkable responsibility. No matter what you say, those people are rebels after all. I think Bishop Julian also knows very well that even if they have the intention, I am afraid it will be difficult to manage a territory. Let alone

There has just been a series of sufferings there. At this time, if the Holy Church does not stand up, then where is our prestige?"

"What you have done has shaken the prestige of the Holy Church!"

Julian obviously didn't agree with this. He snorted coldly and shouted. It looked as if his beard was about to explode.

"During this period, we have received continuous inquiries from many nobles. They are worried that the Holy Church will change the current situation and pose a threat to them! If we continue like this, those nobles are likely to unite to boycott

The Order of the Holy Temple!”

"Not only that......"

At this time, Helena, the Supreme Bishop of Chati, who was sitting on the other side of the Great Mother, also spoke worriedly. As the spokesperson of the Great Mother, she looked different from Julian and gave people a kind look.

She looks like a fat middle-aged woman with beautiful eyes. A khaki robe is wrapped around her "broad-hearted and fat" body. It makes the supreme bishop a little more rich. Her voice is not as loud as Julian

, but also full of helplessness and sigh.

"Some nobles have begun to reduce their donations to the temple. If this continues, the expenses of the entire temple will become more and more difficult. And I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold the Spring Festival next spring..."

Yes, the Holy Temple is a huge organization. However, it is a pity that they are not immortals who do not eat the fireworks of the world. These priests cannot learn the Taoist's method of fasting. The same goes for the Paladins. They need to maintain their weapons and raise their mounts.

, we still need to buy equipment, where does this money come from? Falling from the sky? Digging it out of the ground? That is naturally impossible, alms? Begging? A priest is not a monk, and a paladin is not a beggar. Who has ever seen a sword in one hand?

Paladins begging for food on the street with a bowl in one hand? Where does the money come from? From the donations of the common people? Although those devout people are indeed willing to donate and are willing to donate, the cruel fact is that their donations in a year cannot keep up with the donations given by the nobles in a day.

If the Holy Church had only relied on those civilians, they would have starved to death long ago.

Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.

Even the Holy Church cannot escape this iron law.

"It doesn't matter!"

On the other side, a supreme bishop snorted coldly and reprimanded.

"The Holy Church fights for the gods, and we must obey the will of the gods! The Paladins once swore in front of the statue of the Nine Saints to protect the weak, promote justice, and protect the good. What the Eye of True Church does is

Correct! Without them, Kirkland is very likely to fall into continuous wars and disasters! All of this is for justice, and I think there is nothing wrong with the approach of the Eye of Truth Church!"

The person who refuted Helena was none other than Celt, the supreme bishop of the Temple of the God of War. He was also the only one among all the supreme bishops who wore armor and looked more like a paladin than a bishop. He was exposed to the wind and sun all year round.

This makes his skin dark, and as a believer of a god who lives and dies for war, he is obviously dissatisfied with the worries of the other two. This is not surprising, the temple of the God of War has been in depression for a long time, and they are almost

They have relied on self-sufficiency all the way to the present, and naturally they don’t need to look at anyone’s face. As for the nobles, they are not within the scope of their concern. Not to mention the relationship between the Temple of the God of War and the Principality of Valkyrie.

It's also quite bad. They don't itch even if there are too many lice, and they don't care about offending more nobles.

"However, I think this approach is inappropriate..."

The old man sitting on another chair and wearing a dark blue robe shook his head slightly.

"Now is not the time to discuss legitimacy. We must find a way to dispel the concerns of the nobles to ensure that the Holy Church will still adhere to its creed of not intervening in power struggles under any circumstances without any change..."

"But I don't think it's a good idea."

The half-elf woman sitting opposite the old man obviously disagreed with this. She was wearing an emerald green robe and holding a silver cup in her hand, which was filled with clear spring water. If you look closely, you will see that the spring water seems to be flowing towards him.

It bubbles out, but miraculously it doesn't overflow from the cup at all.

"Power struggles always involve civilians, and how can we just allow evil to spread like this? What happened in Tagus City is too heartbreaking, and this is not the result of the intervention of the Holy Church. It is precisely the Holy Church.

The result of the religious group not intervening. If we could have intervened early, those nobles would not have been so outrageous and blatantly collaborated with undead creatures to do such evil things..."

Hearing this, the archbishops below did not speak, but exchanged glances with each other. No one who could sit in this position was a fool. They quickly heard from the arguments above that the current situation within the central bishops' conference was

The opinions are very sharp.

Among them, headed by the Eye of Truth, the God of War and the Emerald Goddess obviously support the intervention. This is not surprising, this matter was promised by the Eye of Truth Temple in the first place. Naturally, they cannot beat themselves up. The Temple of the God of War has declined before.

After so many years, they no longer rely on the nobles for their livelihood, and the God of War is also the temple that produces the most Paladins. Naturally, they are disgusted with that kind of evil behavior. They can't wait to destroy the evil with their own hands.

As for the Emerald Goddess, as a natural temple of elves and half-elves, she has no interest in the twists and turns among humans, so to express support is to stand up and speak without pain. Anyway, for the Emerald Goddess, those who believe in her are basically in the forest.

Here, those nobles will not come to the door. Therefore, the Green Goddess naturally does not need to look at the nobles' faces to act. Naturally, she will say what she wants, and the nature god himself loves life. She has a natural aversion to undead creatures. When such a situation appears,

Of course, they cannot stand on the opposite side of the Eye of Truth.

In turn, the opposition of the God of Harvest, the Great Mother and the Silver Saint is precisely because of this. The temples of these three are closely related to human activities, and because of the attributes of these temples, they have thousands of connections with rulers everywhere

Inextricably linked. So there are more worries about the nobles.

To put it bluntly, this is all because of profit.

Right now it's three versus three, but that's not the point.

Thinking of this, almost everyone looked at the owners of the three chairs at the highest point.

Supreme Patriarch of the Sun God, Forest Goddess and Water Goddess.

Only they can bring an end to this controversy.

As if they were aware of everyone's attention, the three supreme bishops exchanged glances with each other. Then, the old man sitting in the middle, wearing white clothes with a sun badge sewn on it, stood up. He first looked around.

The crowd then spoke.

"I already understand what you are thinking. In fact, what you all said makes sense. However, this is just our guess after all. I think it is more valuable to let people who have experienced it tell it."

As he spoke, the old man raised his hand. Soon, he heard the sound of opening the door, and then in front of everyone, the thick and tall wooden door slowly opened, and then, a girl wearing a paladin armor walked out. She quickly

He walked to the temple altar, bowed his head respectfully, and saluted everyone in front of him.

"Now, all the servants of the Nine Saints are here, my children."

Seeing the paladin in front of him, the smile on the old man's face became much gentler.

"Can you tell us your name?"

"Of course, Your Majesty the Supreme Bishop."

Hearing what the old man said, the paladin girl raised her head, looked forward, and then spoke.
