Chapter 92 The Secret of Holy Light·The Protection of Holy Light [5,000 words]
Late at night, Adrian's mission hospital.
Mission Hospital is the largest place in Adrian with the highest medical level.
Not only are high-level church pastors stationed here all year round.
It is also equipped with a five-person Church Paladin team.
It can be regarded as the only other important missionary place of Holy Light Church in Adrian besides the church.
At night, in the room of Silver-level Priest Billick.
"Please come in."
Listening to the knock on the door outside, Billick put down the case about Lilissa in his hand.
Not long after, the door to the room he was in opened.
When he saw the person entering the room, Billik was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled and said: "Good evening, Mr. Rhine. I wonder if you came to me so late. Do you have something important to tell me?"
Rhine closed the door and responded politely: "Good evening, Mr. Billik. Didn't I disturb your rest?"
Billick smiled and shook his head, then stood up and made a 'please' gesture.
He signaled to Rhine that he didn't need to stand, just sit and chat with him.
At the invitation of the other party, Rhine did not hesitate and sat directly at the reception table in Billick's office.
"What can I drink? Can I have ordinary scented tea?"
"Anything is fine, I have no taboos."
"Okay."
Billik skillfully boiled water and put some jasmine petals into the cup in front of Rhine.
While waiting for the water to boil, Billik asked: "Mr. Rhine, Her Royal Highness Lilissa is still unconscious at the moment, and Mr. Jet is interrogating the eight-eyed believer who was caught by you."
"If you don't have anything particularly important in this situation, you probably won't find us, right?"
Rhine nodded and directly stated his purpose without any mincing words.
"Pastor Billick, the reason why I took the liberty of visiting tonight is because I have obtained important information."
"After some discussion with Lord Jeter, I think it is necessary for us to share this information with you and your Holy Light Church."
"Because only you have the ability and qualifications to resolve this matter in Adrian."
Seeing Rhine's expression so serious, Billik immediately understood the importance of what he said.
Soon, Bilik put away the relief on his face and asked seriously: "Please tell me, Mr. Rhine, I want to know what is important enough for you to visit late at night."
Soon, Rhine learned about the human trafficking done by the Rust Mercenary Group and their cooperation with the Holy Communion Society.
Even Master Remy was aware of the whole process and participated in it, and told Billick.
Of course, Rhine did not elaborate on how he knew this in this process.
Just say that he has the key evidence.
After listening to this information, Billik understood on the spot why Rhine said that only he and the Holy Light Church behind him were qualified to resolve this matter.
Because the things involved are very complex.
There is not only Remy, the eldest son of Count Jade, in it.
It also includes many nobles in the Emerald Territory today.
Although Rhine himself is also from the Principality of Morton.
But his status as Lilissa's Guardian Knight now means that most of the time he will not be regarded as a member of the Principality of Morton, but as Akkad.
Therefore, although Rhine already has evidence that Remy and the Rusty Mercenary Group colluded with the Holy Communion Society.
But it was not easy for him to intervene.
It's very simple, there is no status.
In contrast, it is difficult for the Holy Light Church to directly intervene in the affairs of the Principality of Morton.
But there is one exception.
That is, once traces of the Holy Communion Meeting were discovered, they always claimed to be 'righteous'.
There are very good reasons to take action.
But even though Billik had already made a decision in his heart.
But he didn't rush to say it.
Instead, he asked: "Since Mr. Rhine said that you already have conclusive evidence in your hands, why didn't you inform Adrian's night watchers in advance?"
"You must know that the Night Watch belongs to the Morton royal family and is not restricted by other nobles."
"The Holy Communion, an absolutely evil and extraordinary association, is an existence that is deeply hated by any country."
"So as long as you inform them of these situations, I believe they will definitely take action."
Rhine naturally knew what Billik said.
But he also knows the consequences of doing so...
"Pastor Billick, I believe in the church's attitude of upholding justice, but I don't believe in the position of the night watchman."
One is attitude and the other is stance.
Billik immediately understood what Rhine meant.
"You mean, you're worried that the Night Watchman will tell Count Randy about this and let him decide whether to punish Remy?"
Rhine nodded.
Indicating that's what he meant.
After all, Rhine knew that people would have their own personal relationships, and this personal relationship would often have an impact on justice.
The duty of the Night Watch is of course to protect the safety of Adrian mortals.
But the Night's Watch is also a sword in the royal hands of Morton.
If the night watchman knew about Remy and the Holy Communion.
There is a high probability that they will secretly inform the Morton royal family about this matter.
The Morton royal family will use this to exchange interests with Earl Randy.
In the end, Randy paid a price.
But Remy will also escape the trial he deserves.
Therefore, if Rhine wants to put an end to this, it must put everything on the table and make it known to everyone.
There is no doubt that Holy Light Church not only has such qualifications, but also has such ability.
The most important thing is that the church does not care about the pressure from the Morton royal family.
"It seems that Mr. Rhine had already thought carefully about the consequences of doing this before he came to me."
"Yeah."
Billick looked at Rhine sitting opposite him and fell into thinking for a long time.
Then he tapped his knees with his fingers for a long time, and finally made a decision.
"Okay, Mr. Rhine, tell me your plan."
"Although I know that you are willing to tell the whole story, it must have other purposes."
"But just like we never hide our purpose of practicing the Holy Light, it is to spread the Lord's faith to the world."
"I myself don't mind being used as a spearman by you. After all, there is too much darkness in this world, and there are many places that cannot be illuminated by the holy light."
"Therefore, anything that can spread our Lord's great faith, I and the Holy Light Church behind me are willing to practice."
Hearing this, Rhine looked at Billik with respect and said sincerely: "Thank you for your trust and dedication, Pastor Billik."
Billick waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I'm just doing what I should do."
In the following time, Rhine talked in detail about the auction that would be held in a manor outside Adrian in seven days.
And who might be at the auction.
After hearing this, Billik quickly made a decision.
"Mr. Rhine, no wonder you want to ask the church for help. Even if Her Royal Highness Lilissa does not pretend to be ill, she must not be able to intervene at will."
Hearing this, Rhine was immediately stunned.
Because he didn't expect Billik to guess that Lilissa was pretending to be sick. This made him curious: "Pastor Billick, when did you find out?"
Billik smiled and pointed to the bookcase next to him.
Rhine looked in the direction Billik pointed, and soon saw a pile of densely packed medical books placed on the bookshelf.
"Mr. Rhine, Her Royal Highness Lilissa's extraordinary achievements are indeed outstanding, but she underestimates a church doctor who walks between life and death all year round."
"It is true that I cannot use extraordinary means to determine the true condition of Her Royal Highness Lilissa, but the pathology, appearance, and even other details have allowed me to draw a very important conclusion."
"That means His Highness is in good health, very healthy."
Did science defeat the extraordinary?
After hearing these words, Rhine immediately understood the reason why Billik guessed that Lilissa was pretending to be ill.
Fortunately, Billik seemed to have vaguely guessed Rhine and Lilissa's plan.
So he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Rhine, except for me, I have not told anyone else about this, not even the church knights who guard me."
"Because as far as I am concerned, neither Young Master Remy nor Young Master Ian is worthy of being supported."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Especially the second young master Ian, he is so scheming that sometimes even I can't see through what he is thinking."
"And such people are destined to do unexpected things easily, and are not the church's first choice for cooperation."
"Because I and the people behind me prefer stability to taking risks."
Regarding Billick's evaluation of Ian, Rhine had no way of knowing whether it was true or false.
After all, he and Ian didn't have much contact.
The limited contact was limited to the dinner party used to welcome Lilissa.
"Okay, Mr. Rhine, these complex power struggles cannot be explained in a few words."
"After all, even in the eyes of outsiders, the belief in the Holy Light is extremely pure, but the church is actually divided into several factions, and each of them thinks that the other's belief has deviated."
"I even suspect that if the Pope suddenly disappears one day, the existing archbishops of the church will fight on the spot."
"This is true for a relatively pure faith, let alone a human heart that is more complicated than faith."
Having said this, Billik changed the topic and looked at Rhine curiously.
"Mr. Rhine, if I remember correctly, you seem to be a Destiny Extraordinary who controls destiny, right?"
Rhine nodded and asked strangely: "Pastor Billick, why do you suddenly want to talk about this."
Billick gave an explanation for this.
"Mr. Rhine, as someone who is on the road to destiny, you should have noticed the particularity of the road to destiny, right?"
"Well, this is the only extraordinary profession among all the extraordinary paths that I know of so far that is difficult to judge based on the fluctuation of source material. After all, fate is inherently changeable. It can be fate, but it can also be other things..." < br>
"Yes, Mr. Rhine, fate is fickle."
With that said, Billik stood up and walked to the pile of bookshelves and took out a church Bible from it.
Put it in front of Rhine.
"Your Excellency Rhine, I think you should have learned something about the special nature of the Destiny Side and the church's attitude towards the Destiny Side through Her Highness Lilissa."
"But what Her Royal Highness Lilissa doesn't know is that not all church leaders have the idea of being either friends or enemies towards the Extraordinary people on the side of destiny."
“It can even be said that those who have bad intentions towards their destiny are actually believers in the ‘Unitarian’ church.”
"They believe that the Holy Light is the only one, and that only all living beings under the Holy Light are equal beings. Therefore, anyone who can shake the Holy Light is a well-deserved heresy."
"For these people, the source of destiny that can be transformed into the source of holy light is an existence that must be conquered or eradicated."
"It's just that I personally don't agree with this belief in the Holy Light."
With that said, Billik pushed the Bible on the table in front of Rhine.
With some curiosity, Rhine immediately looked at the Bible in front of him.
"Bible Commentary·Redemption·Seventeenth Edition"
"This is?"
Rhine looked at the book in front of him, which was obviously some kind of interpretation of the Bible, and asked with some confusion.
Because he didn't understand why Billik handed this book to him.
"Mr. Rhine, although I don't have much contact with you, I can feel that your nature is not bad."
"Although our Redemption Sect has no ill intentions towards you extraordinary people on the destiny side, I cannot guarantee that you will not encounter church members of the 'Unique Sect' and the 'Balance Sect' in the future."
"The Holy Light believers of the Balance sect are not bad, because they advocate "harmony with light and dust", so their attitude towards the extraordinary people on the destiny side is good or bad."
"But even so, in many cases they will not give too much good looks to the extraordinary people who are not on the destiny side of the church, and they belong to the neutral faction in the church."
"And the 'Unique Sect' will be even more troublesome, because if the 'Unique Sect' knows your identity as an Extraordinary on the side of destiny."
"Then unless you can always stay with Her Royal Highness Lilissa, they will only give you two choices, surrender, or purification."
"It just so happens that the most powerful people in the church right now are the Unitarian believers."
"Mr. Rhine, if you want to avoid this unnecessary trouble, you'd better master some pure holy light secrets."
"This seventeenth edition of the Redemptorist Bible Commentary contains the secrets of the Holy Light you need."
"As long as you, Mr. Rhine, can master the secret technique of Holy Light, even if you meet members of the Unique Church in the future, they will not make things difficult for you."
After hearing this, Rhine immediately understood the importance of this book to him.
But why would Billick suddenly help him?
Looking at the confused Rhine, Billik smiled and explained: "Mr. Rhine, as I just said, there are many subdivisions of beliefs within the church, and you think that as the only sect with the most beliefs and the most power in the church, Where are most of their personnel in the Morton Principality concentrated? ”
Hearing this, a flash of thunder flashed in Rhine's mind.
And said without hesitation: "The cathedral in the imperial capital of Morton."
"Yes."
Billick said with emotion: "The Sole faction that occupies the Royal Capital Cathedral has the ability to influence the decision-making of the Morton royal family to a certain extent."
"And once the prince they support sits on the throne of the Principality of Morton, a huge purge of heretics will inevitably start in the Principality of Morton."
"This is not the result we as Redemptionists want to see."
"But we can't send people to the imperial capital, because this will arouse the hostility of the Only Sect."
"But Mr. Rhine and Her Royal Highness Lilissa are different."
"Because if I remember correctly, Her Royal Highness Lilissa will enroll in the Royal Knights Academy in the Imperial Capital in September this year, right?"
"With the help of Mr. Rhine and His Highness Lilissa, we, the Redemptionists, can also indirectly participate in the upcoming great changes in Morton."
"But Mr. Rhine does not need to have too much psychological burden, because all this is still too far away, and I am just expressing goodwill to you and Her Royal Highness Lilissa in advance."
After hearing this, Rhine basically understood Billick's intention.
So after thinking for a moment, Rhine picked up the "Bible Commentary·Redemption·Seventeenth Edition" on the table.
"I will convey the Redemptorists' goodwill to His Highness."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Rhine."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two ended their conversation tonight.
After Rhine left Bilik's room, he took the Bible annotations and went to see Lilissa.
On the hospital bed, after reading this Bible commentary, Lilissa commented: "It's a very good book, but many of the views in it are too simple and one-sided."
"You can have a little understanding of the understanding of 'Holy Light·Salvation' here, but don't believe in it too much."
"In addition, the Holy Light Secret Technique recorded here is indeed a very good secret technique for you."
"Because now you really need some powerful defense methods."
After that, Lilissa returned the book to Rhine.
After hearing Lilissa's evaluation of the book, Rhine almost understood how he wanted to read the book.
With some curiosity, Rhine briefly read the first half of the book to understand the "Holy Light·Salvation".
Then focus on the second half, the explanation of the secret method.
And the name of this secret technique is... Holy Light Protection.
PS: It's a bit stuck, and Fat Tiger needs to think about how to speed up the pace a bit.
Because the pace at this stage does feel a bit slow.
That’s all I’ll write today. I’ll leave an update and see if I can make it up tomorrow.
