Chapter 354 Killing Everyone
“Gentlemen, these are the photos of the scene, please review them.”
In the conference hall of the Burning Sun Church, at a long table, Lynch and Wa Miss Lunt was sitting side by side at one end, while Harlan, the district bishop of the Burning Sun Church, was sitting at the other end with a group of bishops. The two sides were far away from each other, the boundaries were clear, and the air seemed to be full of pressure.
Miss Valente is here today to question her about the attack on her library. You may give me an explanation or an explanation. Although the matter is not serious, it is of a bad nature. The authority of the great nobles cannot be offended. If you can’t even give an explanation, let’s just see who has more energy.
This world is not a monotheistic religion. Sometimes even nobles can judge. There are many churches here to check each other, but the divine power still has to compromise with the imperial power in secular matters.
But Lynch was still worried.
Among the four major churches in the Kingdom of Rand, the Church of Night is the most close to the people and has the most believers. The Church of Misery is filled with the Holy Mother's heart. It is not a false Virgin bitch, but a real Virgin. If something goes wrong, they will risk their lives. The Church of Wealth is sought after by the emerging industrial, commercial and financial industries, but it has always maintained neutrality among all parties in the world, while the Church of the Sun...
They are a group of lunatics who uphold what they believe to be justice, and what Lynch saw in his previous life The kind of paladin who said, "Holy light, this evil is worth fighting" is not much different. He has offended many people. If it weren't for the Lord God sitting in charge, he would have been taught a lesson by all parties, so Miss Valente came to ask questions. No need to worry about the impact at all.
Lynch can only say that people like this are admirable for their courage and persistence, but their behavior and thinking are a piece of shit. He doesn’t want Miss Valente to suffer, and he also has something to discuss with Harlan. I wanted to talk to the district bishop, so I took the initiative to follow him.
Because Miss Valente sent a formal note to the Burning Sun Church yesterday, not only in the name of the Earl family, but also as a soul-changer of the Suffering Church. This forced the church's district bishop Harlan to formally receive the two visiting people.
As Lynch expected, the atmosphere was tense from the beginning.
District Bishop Harlan was calm, but the bishops denied this and said they had no involvement and refused to admit it.
The two looked at each other and smiled, not admitting that it was too normal. So since they are soul-shifters and they are both religious people, let's use religious people's methods to solve the problem. Let's just talk about the gods.
Miss Valente opened the briefcase, took out a thick stack of black and white photos and distributed them.
These are photos of the scene of the incident.
"The problem can be seen from the situation at the crime scene." Lynch appeared on the scene at this time, flipping the photos one by one in front of everyone, "please see, the walls and roof are not blackened, which means that the scene was not affected by The open flames indicate that this incident was not caused by any power such as flames. Do you agree? "
"Look at these damaged furniture. Pay attention to these pictures. Did you notice that these furniture were not caused by something like fire? They were destroyed from the outside in, not from the inside out. They were roasted evenly into char from the inside and outside by the high temperature, and it was done instantly, so fast that their own weight did not even have time to crush them, and they had already turned into char. This excludes not only the powers of fire, but also the powers of light and heat, because the effects of these powers are either from the outside in or from the inside out, and can never be affected by the inside or outside. The degree of roasting is exactly the same."
Lynch pointed out the doubts one by one, and the faces of the bishops present became increasingly ugly. Several people exchanged glances quickly from time to time, with some expressions on their faces. weird.
"Oh, actually you already have your guesses, but you just don't want us to know." Lynch narrowed his eyes and showed a standard villain smile, "But I'm sorry, Miss Valente has also consulted professionals. She is proficient in flames and burning power. The Master of Craftsmen, the Soul-Changer, and the Lord of Sky and Thunder, Simon, who are proficient in the power of lightning and light, have the same conclusion as you. There is only one power that can be thought of that can cause the results in the photo. "
Miss Valente on the side continued calmly: "Scorching Sun, the main divine authority of Sur, Lord of the Scorching Sun."
Lin Qi said slowly: "So, you guys want to force Do you deny that this is the effect of the scorching sun? ”
Miss Valente took over the conversation: "What you are doing is tantamount to the clergy publicly preaching content that is contrary to the doctrine and forcibly blurring the divine authority controlled by the Lord of the Burning Sun. I shouldn't need to remind you that obscuring the divine authority means something to the gods. What, once it expands, even the faith of the Lord of the Burning Sun will become impure. What if the Lord’s divine authority is cut off and divided..."
The two of them spoke in a tacit understanding, and the venue fell into a state of confusion. In silence, several bishops pursed their lips tightly and stared at the photo with gloomy eyes, but no one spoke to argue.
Because both of them told the truth, straight to the core.
Obscuring divine authority is a taboo for any church.
The reason why the main god can become the main god is because they have a main divine authority. The main divine authority is exclusive to the main god and will never be shared with any other gods. Once the divine authority is blurred, the main divine authority may be divided. If part of it is taken away by other gods, the god who has lost its divine power will fall on the spot and never have a chance to recover. Therefore, divine authority cannot be obscured at all, otherwise it would be blasphemy. You can talk nonsense about other things, but once it involves divine authority, especially the Lord’s divine authority, you cannot shirk it.
Finally, Lynch looked around at the silent bishops: "So, gentlemen, if you deny it, are you preparing to obscure the divine power, or are there other people besides the Burning Sun Church who have mastered the power of the Burning Sun?"
The silence continues. , but this time it didn’t take long, and the Bishop of Harlem, who didn’t have a hair, finally spoke: “Indeed.”
“Huh?” This answer was beyond the two people’s knowledge.
Harlan waved his hand, and several bishops quietly withdrew, leaving only three people sitting across from each other in the conference room: "Servants of suffering, patrons of the red moon, you should understand that it is impossible for the church to secretly attack noble houses. Even we cannot do such stupid things, otherwise it will break the tacit understanding between the sacred and the secular."
Lin Qi lit his pipe and allowed himself to think more focused.
“Actually, this is a situation that exists in every church, and we are also very embarrassed.”
"A traitor?" asked Miss Valente.
"Yes, after betraying the church, the gods will no longer protect him and support him in the future, and it is impossible to take back the power he already has." Harlan sighed and explained, "There are also apostates in the Burning Sun Church. , and it is the betrayal of believers who have understood the power of the Lord. This is the greatest shame of the church, so we have always kept it secret. If you hadn't told me this time... I wouldn't have revealed it."
Lynch immediately. He asked: "So you already know who did it?"
"Yes, there is only one person who has understood the power of the blazing sun and can do such a thing, Raymond Kane, power level 5." Harlan explained, "Strictly speaking, he is not apostate, he is just His behavior was too radical and he was expelled from the church."
Lynch and Miss Valente looked at each other again, both of them helpless. If what the other party said was not an excuse, then the responsibility would be much smaller, at least not entirely to blame. In the Burning Sun Church, it seems that Raymond will be blamed for blowing up the house.
“Do you know where he is now?” Lynch asked, “Also, do you know the purpose of what he did?”
"Before he left the church, he once mentioned to several friends that he needed to stop a huge plan. No matter how many people died, he would not give up."
A huge plan? Lynch felt the hairs on his back stand up, and immediately thought of the League of Shadows. He asked calmly: "What plan? How to stop it?"
"I don't know the plan, but he has been trying to stop it. Nothing has changed." Harlan said with a wry smile, "As long as everyone who is related to the plan is killed, the plan will not be realized."
Hiss, Lin Qi's face turned gloomy instantly.
He realized that the method of blowing up those photos that day was so violent. If he had gone in earlier, he might have been killed. Maybe that was the other party's purpose. It was not the room that was going to be blown up, but Lynch himself. .
Then why didn't he continue? Is it because the first part has been completed and there is no point in trying to kill me anymore? But there is a second step in the plan. The first key figure in the second step is Howard, who should be dead. So who is the second key figure, and who is going to die?
Lynch immediately realized that there was a person who should have died like Howard in the past two days, but was saved by him before he could die.
Princess Sofia.
“Let’s go to the Governor’s Mansion early.” Lynch stood up suddenly and said solemnly, “If Her Highness Sophia is the second target, then the murderer controlled by the Shadow Alliance may not be that easy. We must tell Baron Bolvar about this as soon as possible and go to the Duke's Palace."
