Ride and Cut

"Well, I know." Li Cha nodded pretendingly, and began to talk nonsense, "I also know that the Holy Light God took seven days to create the world, and I also know that there is a kingdom of God in the sky, and believers will go there after death."

"You think I'm joking?" Bishop Paul said,

"It's not that I thought, you were joking." Seeing that he was out of wine, the lord didn't want to stay in this old mossy monastery, so he opened the door and walked to the street.

The street lamps on both sides have been lit, and the dim lights shrouded in the branches and leaves of the sycamore trees cast very beautiful mottled shadows on the ground.

"The church did have offensive divine spells, but they were all abandoned later, and the church voluntarily abandoned them. Only the auxiliary blessing divine spells remained." Bishop Paul followed up, "Do you know why?"

"Because you are all mentally handicapped." Li Cha stretched his waist.

Of course he didn't believe it at all. The probability that the Holy Light Church can reach today's status in the entire human world is basically negligible.

Even if there is a hole in the brain, it is not possible to do such a stupid thing as actively abandoning offensive magic. In his hometown, there are special words used to describe this kind of action, which is called self-defeating martial arts.

Unfortunately, that is not a compliment.

"On the contrary, it is a milestone for the Church of the Holy Light." The soft light from the street lamp above his head made the handsome bishop look very serious. "In the beginning, the Church of the Holy Light was just an ordinary member of the sects, and it was difficult to develop. It was not until the painstaking determination to abandon all offensive divine arts that it started smoothly."

"Oh?" The lord finally became interested, he really wanted to know what this guy was going to say.

"At that time, the confrontation between kingship and theocracy was very fierce, and the various sects with a large number of magicians were unwilling to be alone, and they all started to compete for power."

"The Ice and Snow Goddess Church is like this. It has been relying on the ice and snow priests to actively interfere in the secular world." Richard shrugged, "There are certainly various reasons why Pompeii expelled them, but part of the reason must be that the kingship naturally cannot tolerate threats."

"We are different. Priests who can only assist in divine arts cannot fight alone, even at the level of the Holy See." Bishop Paul smiled slightly, "Depending on rather than leading, churches that lack independent ability can easily become friends of the king instead of enemies. This has won us many supporters."

"Damn." Li Cha instantly understood what the other party meant.

To be honest, it was a bit shocking, it was something he had never thought of.

"Look at him." Paul pointed to an old churchman sweeping fallen leaves by the side of the road.

St. Vatican occasionally opened the door to some devout believers who could not afford to support themselves, and let them do some chores to make ends meet. This one is an example. Although I am too old to straighten my waist, I have to stop and rest for a while after sweeping, but I am still very attentive.

"The hard teeth have long since fallen out, but the soft tongue is still intact. This is the survival philosophy of our Church of the Holy Light."

"interesting."

"It was a pleasure chatting with you." Paul was about to leave, "It's getting late, next time we...

"Wait, I have something to ask." Li Cha grabbed him.

"The Church of the Holy Light has been operating in Stuart for so many years, so you must have collected a lot of information?" The lord saw that he was about to open his mouth, and immediately added, "Don't say no, I'm not a fool and I'm not so easy to fool."

"Well, there are indeed some." Paul nodded slightly, "But even if Stuart has deviated from the Holy Light, it's still too shameful to reveal other people's secrets."

"I just want to read the information about those blood knights in the past, it shouldn't matter." Li Cha still remembered Dracula in his heart.

Since using the blood magic stone, this guy has become more and more handsome and hypocritical. Every day, I feel "why the beautiful colorful clouds are so easy to drift away", or "the exquisite colored glaze is broken and my heart is broken".

It makes people hear that from the tip of the hair to the bone of the tail, there is no need for lemon to eat barbecue.

If he hadn't been out at night every day, and his work and rest could still be staggered with everyone else, he would have been hammered to death long ago.

"Licha, let me just say that the Blood Knight is definitely a very evil, very bloody, and very twisted creation." Paul's expression was obviously a little displeased, "You are already strong enough, and that kind of thing can't give you any extra help."

"I didn't say I would use it myself." The lord couldn't laugh or cry, "One of my subordinates used the blood magic stone, but the aftereffects were very serious, so I wanted to see if I could find someone with a similar situation."

"Okay, those with a low level of confidentiality, I can make the decision and show you."

"Okay." Li Cha agreed happily.

He thought to himself, let's see if the level is not high first, then it will be good enough, if it is not enough...then find another way. Anyway, how could a living person be suffocated by urine.

What's more, he is such a big living person full of ghosts.

…………

Time flies and soon it is time for mediation to begin.

Li Cha sat with other members of the diplomatic mission in the huge meeting room that could accommodate hundreds of people, with his legs crossed leisurely.

He didn't participate too much in the private negotiations in the past few days, but just looking at Prince Schmidt's gloomy face day by day, he knew that the situation was probably not optimistic.

So he hung a communication magic stone in the Alpine Fort every now and then, telling Buckland to supervise the production of ordnance, purchase military supplies, and strengthen the training of soldiers, in short, to make extra preparations for the war.

In Fulis, Grand Master Du Pont told him to strive for the initiative, but the current situation made Li Cha feel that he could only resign himself to fate.

It's really complicated to a certain extent--

The simplest appeal of Pompeii is peace.

Stuart's appeal... It's impossible to guess, it's hard to say what Belluni is going to do, but at least he should want to get rid of the cauldron of the undead outbreak.

San Jose's appeal must be to let Pompeii continue the war with Stuart, so that bloodletting can last.

The appeal of the Holy Light Church is to mediate successfully, solve the undead, and show its influence and benevolent image.

The Ice and Snow Goddess Church can also be regarded as a faction. Judging from the results of the negotiations in the past few days, they seem to want to take revenge on Pompeii who betrayed Ice and Snow, and perhaps hide the dark blue magic well that does not know whether it exists or not.

Purely from the perspective of appeal, Pompeii and the Church of the Holy Light can be regarded as a group, while the Church of the Goddess of Ice and Snow is on the side with San Jose.

And none of the five parties involved in this mediation can maintain friendly relations with the other four parties at the same time. And Stuart's attitude, which has not been clear so far, made the situation that was difficult to see clearly even more unpredictable.

Thinking of this, he felt that it would be better to fight a battle.

Calvin, I can't code the second chapter, sorry
