Chapter 2219 Religious Conflict
Not long after, the people attending the banquet gradually gathered, and two dwarf chamberlains were waiting in front of the palace, waiting for the arrival of the queen. After a while, I saw on the side of the high curtain, a woman wearing a seven-color feather dress and a gorgeous gold bone bird crown, stepping into her small bed-like chair and lying down lazily. Sitting on the chair covered with thick animal skins, his eyes scanned all the guests in the hall.
Needless to say, this is Ansel Mi, the Queen of the Eagle Demon Tribe. Her skin is slightly tanned, and she holds indigo jasper wings behind her arms. Her knees are extremely clean and beautiful. The eagle's feet are made of golden leather and are painted with dazzling eagle toes inlaid with various colored gems.
The colorful ornaments on the Queen's body changed the color of the not too big but still gorgeous palace. Her slender jade fingers picked up the food brought by the waiter as if they were boneless. A silver cup studded with precious stones and a jug of fine wine were placed on the small round table on her left hand.
"Queen, now is not the time to drink. We agreed to talk about business tonight." A Sura said dissatisfied.
Queen Ansel Mi responded unceremoniously: "In my case, business matters can only be discussed at the banquet."
This Sulla wanted to have a fit, but was held down by the companion next to him.
The Three Holy Lands, or the Three Holy Cities, and the Three Holy Sects have given birth to three sects successively, namely the oldest Sona Sect, the most popular True Sect now, and the Allied Holy Sect that has gone far away. The Sona Sect has long since declined, and the Alliance Holy Sect has very few believers in this original birthplace. Now only the Zhen Sect is the only one left. The True Sect is divided into several sects, but no matter which sect, there is a strict prohibition on alcohol, and believers are not allowed to drink alcohol on serious and formal occasions. Women, in particular, are not allowed to drink alcohol without their husband's permission, and unmarried women are not allowed to drink at all.
On today's occasion, Sulas who want to talk about business obviously shouldn't drink, and Queen Anselmi is both a woman and unmarried, so she shouldn't. Even if the queen is not currently a member of the congregation, anyone should not drink alcohol when talking to the suras, otherwise it will be regarded as extremely impolite behavior, and in serious cases may be regarded as blasphemy.
Anser Mi poured himself a drink and said: "Today's banquet is to commemorate my dead bodyguard, and nothing else is serious."
Shakhan found his lover Dan quietly appearing in the corner of the banquet, sitting behind the curtain next to the piano player. The two of them nodded to each other. At the same time, Bing Zhixie and Gao Feng also noticed that Dan was also a beautiful girl. Wearing a silver-white translucent silk robe, she has silver hip-length hair, and a gorgeous gold pearl chain on her forehead. From the bottom of her neck to her navel, there are five emerald green gems dotted like stars. Her complexion is also tanned. There is some redness, which is completely different from the beauty of honey, but still charming.
She and Shakhan seemed to be a match made in heaven, Bing Zhixie and Gale felt this way just from the first sight.
A turbaned red bearded Sulla said loudly: "Queen... Your Majesty, the Eagle Demon Tribe has survived for so long under the protection of our Three Holy Cities and the True Religion. Now it is time for us to convert to our Religion. Right? The Holy City has sent messengers several times to explain the scriptures to you. Not only are you disobedient, but you are also starting a semi-forbidden religion in the city. What does this mean? Do you think the great true religion is not good?”
Mi didn’t want to talk about it today, but she also knew it. This is a topic that cannot be avoided, so he said: "Our Eagle Demon Clan There are beliefs and customs of the Eagle Demon Clan. As for the Semi-Forbidden Cult coming to preach in my Eagle City, I didn’t prohibit it, just like you True Cult coming here to receive believers, I didn’t stop it.”
The other face is covered with a dust mask. Sulla immediately became angry: "Ansel Mi, what are you doing? To compare my great True Religion with an unknown semi-forbidden heretic! This is an insult to the True Religion. Believe it or not, I can let the followers eat you and your heresy alive with just one sentence. Make a drum out of your skin and make a magic weapon out of your skull!”
Gale was angry as he listened, and said to himself: "Obviously you mentioned the semi-forbidden religion first, but now you blame her for comparing the two religions." Mi's eyes were also filled with anger, but she soon softened and said: " Sorry, I made a mistake. Regarding the True Crescent Sect and the Three Holy Cities, Anser... Mi is not disrespectful at all, but I still have to think about converting to the True Religion..."
"Do you still want to think about it? This shows that you don't take the True Religion seriously at all. ." Sura, who was wearing a dust mask, saw her showing weakness and immediately became stronger.
The central official next to him immediately said: "Sura, calm down, Queen Anser is indeed in trouble. She must be a woman. After conversion, how to rule the people and how to lead the ethnic group needs to be carefully arranged." What he said On the surface, he was speaking for Queen Honey, but in fact, he was still on the side of Saint Sura.
Yisula said: "Queen Anser, a tribe of hawk monsters, has been wandering around for a long time. It was nearly a thousand years before she finally settled here. It has been several years since she took the throne. Is it possible that such a long time has passed? Don’t you understand? We have to settle things today no matter what, otherwise we will have to convert the queen in another way.”
The atmosphere in the palace became a little tense, and the queen also fell into a long thought. Some officials from Eagle City wanted to say something to rebut, but they couldn't open their mouths. There are also a small number of true believers among the subjects of Eagle City present. Those who are not true believers are also worried that speaking too much will cause them great trouble in the future. In fact, some people have no opinion on which religion to believe in. Famas of Poetry also belongs to the True Religion country. Although it is relatively remote, it is regarded as a slave by another sect of the True Religion, the Angel Sect. Of course, the saints in the Holy Land also regard all outsiders as slaves. Make the people slaves.
The Queen had no choice but to say: "Because Sura of the Angel Faction also sent people to Eagle City, hoping that the Eagle Demon Tribe will join the Angel Faction."
Crescent Moon Sura at the scene knew that the Queen was just An excuse, the fundamental reason is that he does not want to lead the clan People converted to the true religion, but he couldn't expose it directly, so he had to say: "Your Majesty the Queen, don't forget that your Eagle City is in Famas of Poetry, where the Crescent Sect is the majority."
"But Angel The faction's power is not small," the queen said again.
Both the Angelic Sect and the Crescent Sect are true sects. The difference lies in their different interpretations of doctrines. Religious people regard the interpretation of doctrines as the most sacred. Wrong interpretation means misunderstanding and disrespect for gods. . They both believed that the other party's interpretation was wrong, which resulted in extremely fierce conflicts. The two sides were incompatible with each other. In some areas, the two groups had multiple conflicts and even wars.
The subsequent conversations between the two parties centered on the topics of religious conversion and the elimination of heretics. These topics were long and smelly. The entire banquet was completely dominated by Sulla and turned into a serious meeting. Some unrelated people were bored. Drinking boringly. Bing Zhixie could see that Queen Anser Mi was at an absolute disadvantage both in terms of momentum and actual situation. Sometimes, if she didn’t have the strength, she didn’t have the confidence to speak. In front of a huge religious group, even the lord of a city The little king can only act like a student in training. Even if his bodyguard is innocently killed, he can only make a silent protest by rearranging the banquet scene.
However, Hayate asked him to help stand up. In his opinion, the situation in front of him was not likely to be fightable. Apparently, the queen's stance became less tough after considering the consequences for the entire clan. Of course, during this banquet, he also learned a lot about the local situation, some insider information that ordinary tourists could not know. He started to feel a little sympathetic to the Harpy Queen's situation, but he didn't intend to do anything, and it wasn't his turn to interrupt here.
