Chapter 288： Daguangming Hall

The Cathedral of Light, the Great Hall of Light.

Pope St. Ivan III sat in his large, magnificent seat, and the radiance of holiness emerged from the air in the air, shining a few meters above the old man’s radius, and the bishops of the Church of Light In the arc in front of St. Ivan III, there is no more cleric below the bishop in the Great Hall of Light. This is obviously a high-profile gathering.

Veronica opened the door at this time, and in the gaze of the bishops, went to his own position on the right hand side of the pope, the extremely respectable position.

The bishops nodded to Veronica, no one showed any dissatisfaction because of her "late", at least on the surface. Veronica smiled at everyone, and she exuded a warm and awkward atmosphere, just like every day in the past.

"Gentlemen, ladies are all there," St. Ivan III spoke up. His voice was old and hoarse, but he could spread throughout the hall. "Let's get started."

Veronica looked at the pope and saw that the old man was a bit older than before. At the end of the last starry day, the aging speed of St. Ivan III was greatly accelerated, and almost every day was older than the previous day. Now he is already an old man who is squatting in the seat. From the outside, he seems to die at any time. Only the eyes that still flash from the wise light from time to time, and the sacred atmosphere that keeps emitting can make people Realize that the old man is still powerful and the dignity of the Holy Light.

The light appears out of thin air and shines on the pope. Veronica knows that this is actually a sign that life is about to come to an end. The light is the radiance of the gods, the bridge to the kingdom of God, when the pope is completely When the light shrouded, it was the day when the old man returned to the Lord's arms forever.

However, no one will feel sad for this, including the Pope himself: this is a symbol of supreme glory. It can be seen as a "holy trace" of the light when it is alive. It can be said that it is the most glorious and fortunate in the hearts of every believer. Things, this not only requires a very pious heart, but also a rather rare spiritual talent that can resonate with the source of the Light, so Pope Saint Ivan III smiles in the light of the light, always with a feeling of peace and joy, He smiled and looked at Veronica, and said with a volume that was not very high but could be heard by everyone: "First, let us congratulate a new living saint, Veronica has passed the Lord's The test, witnessing the glory of the Kingdom of God and returning to the world, she is the embodiment of the Holy Light, the most intimate child of the Lord."

The matter was passed to the ears of the bishops a few days ago, but today the Pope personally confirmed this, so the pre-prepared bishops applauded and paid tribute and congratulations to Veronica. Ronika smiled back and said in a light voice: "The Light is with everyone."

“The official celebration will be held tonight. Then it’s about the recent cults raging everywhere,” the Pope quickly changed to the next topic. “The evil people are invading the Lord’s followers, their Behavior is the greatest embarrassment to the Holy Light."

One of the bishops stood up. He wore a high golden crown, and his face was old and majestic. But in the eyes of Veronica, he was just the torch of the same light as everyone else: "Your Majesty, the cultist The activities are getting more and more awkward. At present, apart from the borders of the four borders, there are also clues in the vicinity of the Holy Spirit Plain and even the Wangdu. Especially the people who are sleeping, the dreamers are sinless, they have made several times in the western plains of the Holy Spirit. A sensational horror, and every time until the victim appears in large numbers, it is discovered."

"The eternal sleepers use illusions and lies to confuse people, but the infidelity of the pagans can only make the soldiers of the Light more firm," another bishop stepped forward. "Your Majesty, we have hanged and burned in the West and the North." Thousands of cultists and more stupids who have been tempted by heretics have been put into the Inquisition. Our actions are inspiring. More and more unbelievers are realizing the greatness of the Holy Light, even different. The believers came to seek shelter from the Church of the Light, especially in the West, and this is increasing."

"The believer can also be the Lord's people," the pope opened his eyes slightly, with a smile on his face. "We welcome anyone's conversion."

"Our strength is a good thing, but the Lord's warriors also need worldly money support to have good equipment to fight evil," the third bishop stood up and said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, New The increase in the cost of the Holy Father is huge, and the Paladin’s weapons and combat priest’s possession of weapons are insufficient. We need to find ways to increase the source of income.”

The bishops whispered, and then one person stood in the queue: "Your Majesty, I propose to increase the amount of churches collected from various places, and urge local lords and rich peasants to donate more of their homes to receive the sanctuary of the Holy Light, which should be paid more. ""

"This year's Holy Spirit Plain and the West have a bumper harvest. There are extra money in the hands of the civilians. Before they are eroded by these sudden wealth, we can persuade them to dedicate these extra money to the church in exchange for the peace of mind. They need the church. Holy water and blessings to heal the disease and expel the nightmare will not dare to reject the church."

The bishops put forward their own opinions one by one, and these opinions have sufficient reasons and reasons. St. Ivan III did not interrupt, but listened carefully, until everyone’s speech was almost over, he only looked at the station next to him. Veronica at a glance: "What do we think of our new living saints?"

“Increased enshrinment is not a long-term solution, nor is it a stable way.” Veronica nodded and looked at the bishops. Her voice was soft but very penetrating, as if she could directly echo in everyone’s mind. "The secular people will inevitably indulge in money and suddenly let them increase their offerings. They will not be grateful for the sanctuary of the Holy Light. They will only first hate people taking their belongings."

Some of the bishops echoed Veronica's view: "It is not appropriate to collect additional property from those who have converted to the Lord. It is true. You should think of something else..."

"We can allow those who have been attacked by cultists, abandoned by the gods, and sheltered by the Holy Light to pay a redemption." The third bishop just spoke again. "They made a mistake because of the letter." The gods who have been threatened by the cultists have no resistance, and when they need the light, they think of their fear of the Holy Light, so 'atonement' is justified."

Veronica couldn't help but frown. "Will the redemption be a threshold, and let those who would have wanted to convert to me be rejected?"

"We can make a redemption amount according to the property of the convertor, such as one-third or one-half of the property," the bishop said with a serious face. "This is also a test that everyone can afford the redemption. If they are still obsessed with this situation, then they can only show that they are too embarrassing and stupid, or that they are not strong enough to rely on my heart. Such a convert is a good thing.

The bishops expressed their approval for this brilliant plan, and Veronica just looked at it quietly and gently said to himself: "Redemption of sin"..."

After a while, the discussion of the bishops ended, and the pope concluded: "Then this is the case. The specific amount and execution method of the redemption money is handed over to the Bishop of Tarendis. Next, we are What is the situation of missions everywhere?"

"We have not changed much in missions outside of Ansu. The beliefs of the gods of the gods are deep. The various ethnic groups in the Ogure tribe believe in their original gods. The Gaoling Kingdom has the highest acceptance of the Holy Light, but Influenced by the culture of the elves, most of them are shallow believers. As for the Angos, due to the recent activities of the cultists, our missionary work is progressing smoothly. At present, the believers in the South, West and Central regions are increasing rapidly..."

“What about the North and the East?”

“The missionary activities in the northern region have also been much smoother than before. Although the Wilde family has always refused to openly allow family members to convert, the Victorian Ville Duke has relaxed the activities of the Holy Light God Officer in the territory, given the situation of the cultists. The limit. As for the east... the situation is still not good."

The eyes of St. Ivan III closed slightly and whispered to himself: "The land of the Duke of Silas..."

"The Duke of Silas Loren is a staunch king, and is quite a rejection of the missionary work on his land. Not only the preachers of the Light, but even the missionaries of other denominations are restricted in his land. We are looking for ways to find a breakthrough from his family members...but with little success."

"The Duke of Silas Loren has a strong control over the family. As long as his attitude does not change, the entire Loren family will not waver," the Pope shook his head. "No need to be impatient, let it be natural, they will eventually I will understand that the Holy Light is the only redemption of mankind."

The bishops looked down and looked at each other subconsciously, but there was no commotion.

"The Holy Light is the only redemption of mankind." In public, this is a very sensitive statement. It directly challenges the "sacred covenant" jointly established by various sects seven hundred years ago. However, it is the interior of the Church of Light. It is a big Guangming Hall without outsiders, so why not talk about it?

What's more, everyone here thinks so.

After most of the issues were discussed, Veronica looked at a bishop: "Bishop Melyev, about the most southern development leader, what's new news recently?"

The named bishop replied: "The church has little energy to bet on there, but recently a missionary has built a church there, and the progress seems to be going well."

"Is the ancient duke let the missionaries set up the church?" Veronica's eyebrows rose slightly. "This is really good news. The light once again illuminates the world."

"May the Light of the Light illuminate all corners of the world."
