Chapter 585 The Rights of Spellcasters
Nathan sat on the second floor of the tavern, looking at the crowd gathered below. With him was Sita, who was wrapped in huge chains.
The crowd outside the tavern seemed to have filled the entire street, and the bustling scene seemed to be holding some kind of celebration. In the distance, a palace official from the Kingdom of Eton climbed onto a high platform, unfolded a roll of parchment, opened his mouth and read out the contents.
Nathan and Sita were far away from the official and could not hear clearly what he was saying, but judging from the exaggerated body movements of the other party, the official was shouting at the top of his lungs.
The people surrounding the official showed surprised expressions, and then began to discuss among themselves in whispers. As they discussed, the news began to spread around, and their movements formed a ripple. It spread from far to near to the tavern where Nathan was.
The buzzing chatter finally reached the ears of Nathan and Sita.
"Wizards? Wizards?" "Did the Grand Duke recognize the legal status of wizards?"
"Do wizards really exist?" "Nonsense, if wizards don't exist, what will happen to these few people in the church?" Is Nian dealing with the air?”
“I heard rumors in the tavern a few days ago...”
Of course Nathan and Sita didn’t wait until the official read it to the people. What. The Grand Duke's edict first denounced the Church's oppression of the countries in the Corner Bay, which caused countless losses of life and property, and finally forced the coastal countries to resist with force, and the Church army's unethical and despicable attacks through the passage. Putting Eaton into a dangerous situation, in order to protect the lives and property of the people of Eaton, he had to accept the help of the spellcasters, and then praised the spellcasters passionately for their decisive role in fighting the church army, thanks to them With their hard work, the lives and property of the people of Eton were saved, and all the people of Eton should be grateful to the spellcasters for their help. In order to thank the spellcasters for their great contribution to Eaton, the Grand Duke announced that he would abandon previous misunderstandings and prejudices, and grant all law-abiding spellcasters in Eaton the status of normal people, and enjoy all the rights protected by Eaton's laws like everyone else. .
Naturally, as soon as the contents of the edict were announced, it immediately caused an uproar, and the people discussed it one after another, with all kinds of voices. However, after only half a day, the crowds on the street dispersed in twos and threes.
“It seems to be much smoother than we expected.” Sita, who had been silent all the time, said: “I thought it would cause a large-scale riot or something.” This guy in chains, just Then he stood by the window and stared at the movement on the street with an expressionless face.
Nathan picked up the wine glass, took a few swigs of beer, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Isn't this great? Although mortals are ignorant, they also know the basic good things, right? Who is it? After attacking them, who protected them? Isn't it clear what to do?"
"And...the Grand Duke used some tricks to recognize the legality of the spellcaster a week ago? The matter of status has quietly spread among the people. It has been quietly discussed in the streets and alleys, in pubs and hotels for a long time, but there is no official statement after so many days of planning, and the people suddenly made an official announcement. In fact, we have already been mentally prepared."
"Now that the first country has stepped forward, let's see how much impact it can have on the world. Uh... By the way, Nathan. Suddenly asked: "Where is Ms. Mariana? Why didn't I see him today."
"Ah, I was just here to drink." Nathan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I received a message from Gabeira yesterday, and I left urgently at night to go back. I should have told you as soon as we met."
< br>"News from Gabera?" Sita was startled, and the chains on her body clattered, "Did something big happen to His Highness?"
"I didn't even tell you, Maybe." Nathan spread his hands, "Do you think there will be a showdown between the two princes?" "If that's the case," a trace of regret appeared on Sita's face. Feelings, "It is really frustrating not being able to personally contribute to His Highness and witness that great moment."
"Hahaha!" Nathan laughed. , he looked out the window at the no longer crowded street, "I don't care, it's the same everywhere. Isn't our power to pin the Holy See here also a huge contribution?"
Sita's face returned to its previous expression, and she nodded and said, "You are right, I am too narrow-minded."
——
In the Golden-domed Temple of the Holy Capital of Light, A dull and irritating atmosphere filled the place.
Pope Harrington II and the senior officials of the Holy See were sitting around a conference table, discussing the latest situation in Corner Bay.
“That idiot Elvis made a mess in Corner Bay. It’s just a mess, but he can wipe his own ass clean. Now he has the shame to come to us for help. .”
Turs, the director of the Inquisition, was cursing Bishop Elvis of the Corner Bay Church. He slapped the letter written by him on the table and slapped it on the table. The dirty words in his mouth made people wonder whether he was a high-ranking official. priest.
Harrington 20 frowned tightly. From the beginning, the Holy See did not support or even faintly opposed the witch hunting movement launched by the Corner Bay Church, and now it was finally kidnapped. There is no doubt that in the eyes of the Holy See, the so-called "new sect" created by the coastal countries of the Horn Bay is an out-and-out heresy, but who gave birth to this heresy?
After Tours' venting came to an end, he said slowly: "Now accusations and abuses can no longer solve the problem. The Church of Corner Bay has suffered a huge failure on both fronts. Heresy The troops are advancing towards the church's headquarters, Collins. We should sit back and let them suffer the consequences, or rescue them."
"Send the troops to help them now!" "Let them fend for themselves before we destroy them. Heretic!”
Two voices sounded almost at the same time. There is nothing good to say about the heretics of the new sect. Of course they should be eliminated, but the timing of taking action caused differences among the senior leaders of the Holy See present.
The dispute between the two sides gave Pope Harrington II a headache. He asked a young priest sitting next to him in a low voice.
"What do you think, Anthony?" Maybe this young man can give him a different feeling.
"Your Majesty, all I can say is..." the young priest replied: "If there is a fire in my home, I will try my best to put out the flames before they spread to the entire house."
