Chapter 273 Obtained missionary rights and was discovered?
Priesthood.
Ron walked into this residence located in the core area of the Emperor's Ascension Church.
As soon as he entered, he noticed the difference.
The sun shines from the glazed dome onto the lush green flowers and plants, and the birds chirp softly.
The air is full of the smell of the forest.
He could feel that the air had almost no trace of filtration and was most likely transported intact from some distant natural planet.
Compared to the dazzling and extremely luxurious decorations I saw along the way.
This place looks simple and natural.
"That Cardinal knows how to maintain health..." Ron thought silently, because he also liked this idea.
After walking dozens of steps along the path, he finally saw the target of his trip—the acting Cardinal Laurent Tiss.
In view, is a set of simple gray stone tables without any trace of carving.
There are some papers on the table.
An old man wearing a gray robe, with white eyebrows and hair, was squinting at a letter.
Next to it is Dhoni's token ring.
Suddenly, the old bishop's old voice rang out: "Please sit down, Mr. Ron..."
At the same time, Ron felt a hawk-like gaze coming towards him, as if seeing through everything about him.
He felt suddenly.
Good guy!
This old bishop looks too much like Donny, even his eyes are exactly the same.
Ron didn't have too much worry about his identity being exposed. It was most likely because of what Donnie wrote in the letter.
Since Donnie chose to tell his mentor this matter frankly, it proved that the other person was trustworthy.
Ron walked over generously and sat next to the old bishop, and saw the other person's appearance more closely.
He was surprised to find that there were no traces of machinery on the old bishop.
This is very rare in the empire.
Moreover, one can feel the power hidden under this old body.
It seems that this old bishop is on the same path as Donnie, but his mind is much calmer than Donnie.
According to the records that can be found.
This old bishop started as a small priest on a marginal planet and climbed all the way to his current position, influencing trillions of believers in the empire.
He is at least four hundred years old.
For mortals without mechanical modification, this is an extremely long lifespan.
Such a being must not be a simple person, at least better than those ghosts and snake gods who are not clear-headed.
Ron thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency Mr. Tis, Donny misses you very much..."
The old bishop waved his hand and gently put down the letter:
< br>“I know what that kid is thinking in his heart. He is angry and wants to make some achievements and convince me, this old guy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to a place where I couldn't be found without saying a word. "
He shook his head and sighed slightly: "With his character, he will never write a letter to me.
The fact that you can make him willing to write a letter proves that your relationship is deeper than I thought. "
The old bishop's eyes softened as he looked over:
"So, if you can gain a certain degree of my trust, just say what you want. ”
Seeing this, Ron didn't talk too much and went straight to the topic:
"Well, Donnie did want to make some achievements and developed the local state religion based on his own doctrinal concepts, but..."
He directly described the current difficulties encountered by the Holy Land of Erth and stated the purpose of his trip.
“It turns out that the Eth Church is the doctrine created by that boy, no wonder it looks so familiar.”
The old bishop nodded and pulled out a document from the stone table:
"A few days ago, a pilgrim was spreading the teachings of the Eth Church and a new saint in the holy city, and was arrested by the Skitarii.
After investigation, it was found that it was a new religious sect, among which The concept is somewhat radical, and it is a doctrine that has not been approved by the state church.
Such behavior is not allowed, so after discussion, the bishops' council decided to ban it.
You are lucky. , came here before the banning order was issued.”
The banning of a certain doctrine requires the consent of the acting cardinal.
Even if it is a regional religious outlaw.
After all, this is a great power, the right to interpret the Emperor's divine will.
When the Emperor is unable to speak, the senior officials of the State Church are equivalent to the Emperor's mouthpiece.
What is right and what is wrong, they have the final say.
Of course, with the mutual constraints of the Inquisition and other institutions, the state religion will also be restrained.
But this cannot completely prevent some individuals from using their beliefs to gain more power.
Once upon a time, there was a supreme lord of the state religion who used various dirty methods to seize the highest power of the empire, establish a bloody rule, and decide everything with a single word.
The High Lord of the Ecclesiarchy claimed that he had the patronage of the Emperor himself, and assigned the Sisters to his name to become his personal bodyguards.
He even changed the concept of the Battle Sisters from the Emperor's daughters to the Emperor's brides.
More dirty things were done.
He even dissolved the Council of High Lords in order to oppose censorship.
Fortunately, this mistake was corrected by the Mechanicus, several war groups, and the Imperial Guard.
Those past histories have made the state religion more deeply aware of the interpretation and control of faith.
What a powerful force.
Therefore, the state religion has extremely strict control over the right to interpret doctrines, and only a few people have that power.
Ron looked at the old bishop. The old man in front of him was one of them.
"Your Excellency Mr. Tisi, we need your help..." He was sincere and believed that the other party could solve this problem.
The old bishop smiled slightly and said:
“Back then, I failed to keep that kid Donny, but now I won’t let the same thing happen again.
You I will resolve your demands, and the Eth State Church and that saint will be included in the faith order of the Governor of the State Church and receive legal rights to preach.”
As the vicar cardinal, he is qualified to grant such regional missionary rights.
"But that's all. Doni said in the letter that he only wants a legal right to preach, and he will not accept any other help."
The old bishop sighed: "It's still the same temper, it hasn't changed at all."
The right to preach is only the most basic.
Without the help of the state church headquarters, some propaganda help is provided, and most of the regional state church doctrines are provided.
There is no way to get out of the star zone.
You must know that there are hundreds of thousands or more star sectors in the empire's territory.
Those teachings that cannot leave the star area are of little importance to the National Religion Headquarters.
"Praise the Emperor and get the right to preach, that's enough!"
Ron was quite excited.
This is the best outcome. If the State Education Headquarters intervenes, it will be really troublesome.
He hopes that the State Religion Headquarters will ignore everything and allow the Eth State Church to operate without violating the teachings of the State Religion.
Savage growth.
“You have a lot of secrets.”
The old bishop suddenly looked over, his hawk-like eyes sharp, as if he wanted to see through everything.
"We do have some unique advantages in developing the Eth Church, if you want to know..."
In this regard, Ron was not panic at all.
This old bishop can be considered half one of his own, so the worst he can do is reveal some superficial things to him.
The old bishop shook his head:
“I have no intention of exploring these, and I don’t need to know. Secrets are too dangerous.
Knowing too many secrets will affect my lifespan. "
After that, the old bishop took out a piece of paper, leaned over and began to write carefully.
Ron waited quietly, drinking the tea served by the acolyte.
He could feel that the acolyte was powerful and not weaker than the Space Marines.
"Please pass this letter to Duny. ”
Soon, the old bishop finished writing the letter, put it into a sealed container, and handed it over.
"Thank you for your generosity, I will deliver this letter."
Ron took the utensils and stood up to leave.
However, he thought of something and sat down again: "I have another news here that you may need."
"Tell me."
The old bishop seemed to be interested. "After the original body returns, it may affect the state religion..."
Ron was thinking about words, saying that he had received a piece of news in some way, and roughly told some of the original body. The impact of the return.
He secretly said that if the Pope really resisted the original body with other supreme lords, it might affect the status of the supreme lord of the state religion.
It has dealt a certain blow to the Pope and the state religion.
The old bishop frowned as he listened.
He sighed slightly: "I don't know where you got the news from, but it is more serious than I predicted.
But this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't pay attention to it."< br>
Ron was a little surprised: "You have expected all this, why don't you plan a response in advance and fight for that position?"
"I don't know anything and I don't do anything. , is the best way to deal with it.”
The old bishop's eyes were bright:
"Boy, do you know why I can go from a little pastor in the border to where I am now?"
Ron shook his head.
“Because I try my best to avoid a life-and-death struggle, and I can endure it and live long enough.
I never argue with others about doctrines, nor do I do controversial things, I only do them silently For some matters within your scope, follow the trend
Even decades ago, another vicar, the Cardinal, framed me, leading to Donny's departure.
I did not start a fight to retaliate against him. "
The old bishop took a sip of tea and said: "Now, the old guy is dead and died of exhaustion of life.
For hundreds of years, since I became a pastor, I have endured the death of other pastors, elders, and church leaders at the same time.
And all my opponents.
Some died because their life span was exhausted, and some were executed after failing in the struggle.
More often, I don’t have to do anything and just wait for those opponents to make mistakes because of their stupidity.
Currently, I am the most senior acting cardinal at the National Church Headquarters, second only to the Pope.
I originally wanted to take good care of my body and survive that old guy, but now it seems I don’t need it anymore.
He will soon pay for his stupidity..."
"Your Excellency Sir Tis, I offer my sincere respect to you. Your wisdom is unparalleled!"
Ron was shocked.
Good guy, this old bishop is a thousand-year-old turtle.
I am simply worse than him, I have learned a lot!
Sure enough, he is still too young.
If this trend continues, the old bishop will be able to ascend to the position of pope.
Since the old bishop has his own way of doing this, he doesn't have to worry too much.
After Ron exchanged a few words, he turned and left.
After leaving the Emperor's Ascension Church, he finally showed an uncontrollable excited smile.
Stable!
Half of the purpose of this trip to Terra has been achieved.
Under the protection of the acting cardinal, the Holy Land of Erth and the Savior were included in the order of state religious beliefs.
Obtain legal rights to preach.
After he returns, he will be able to expand greatly.
As for whether the influence of the Eth State Church will conflict with the State Church headquarters after it becomes huge.
That's something to consider later.
What he needs now is time.
And by that time, the State Religion Headquarters may not be able to restrain him.
He wants to spread the belief in the golden sun and the savior wherever humans can reach!
……
Wall of eternity.
The Ministry of the Interior has set aside an ancient tarmac specifically for the Primarch's vehicle.
This time-honored marble platform is surrounded by statues and glows under the light of braziers filled with incense.
Today, the Primarch will reach the surface and go to the palace to meet the great Emperor.
After receiving the news, the upper classes of Holy Terra gathered here, wanting to have a glimpse of the Primarch.
The choir sang hymns dedicated to the emperor, and the record attendant, who was bound in the iron coffin, used a quill to record the grand occasion in front of him.
The dignitaries of the Thai Council and the Ministry of the Interior rushed forward, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Primarch.
The state priests and nobles, with their extremely gorgeous clothes, are particularly conspicuous even in the crowded crowd.
The airship falls.
The moment Guilliman stepped out of the airship, everyone present rushed to bow and salute.
Countless hands made the Eagle Salute on their chests, and people roared out the oath of allegiance.
Ron didn’t want to miss such a big scene, so he came to join in the fun.
However, the great savior is not among the people saluting, but in the team receiving the courtesy.
A few days ago.
Ron received the news that the original body had arrived at the airport, and went to the airport to meet Shahim.
Emperor Shahim's identity as a blood trader is almost equivalent to that of the Empire's Chapter Master, and he actively participated in the battle on the moon to save Holy Terra.
Therefore, he earned the honor of following the Primarch and enjoying the high courtesy.
This qualification will be very helpful for Shahim to travel within the empire's territory in the future.
If it wasn't inappropriate, Ron would even want Shahim to take a photo with the original body, the living saint, etc.
When the time comes, the group photo will be taken on the trading ship in the territory, and it will be convenient to go anywhere.
It's a pity that I couldn't take a group photo.
But he was ready to go back and have someone draw a photo of Shahim with the original body, the living saint and other beings.
As the head of the Govindi family, Ron also took advantage of this opportunity. He mixed in with the team and followed the original body.
Buzz——
As soon as Ron stepped out of the airship, he was drowned by the deafening roar. He followed the team forward, enjoying the etiquette of everyone.
"Oh, it's quite lively..."
Looking at the dense crowd, Ron thought to himself: "Most of the important figures in the empire are gathered here, right?
Hiss ~So many important people are crowded into such a small space. If I were Chaos, I would not have to use all my strength to build a big one here.
The empire would not have to suffer heavy losses, and the center would be destroyed and stop functioning in a short time. , with the empire’s efficiency, I don’t know how long it will take to recover.
At this time, there shouldn’t really be a chaotic Lao Liu attack, right?”
Ron was distracted, thinking erratically.
Suddenly, he found many nobles and old men secretly glancing at the living saint, the silver-haired angel Saint Celestine, not far ahead.
Bang!
A group of guys who are lustful but not bold, just watch it freely if you want to, it is not a blasphemy.
Speaking of which, it seems that he really hasn’t taken a close look at what Celestine looks like.
Thinking of this, Ron quickened his pace slightly, made a small circle to the side, and then took a few glances at Saint Celestine.
Being in public, you still have to be restrained.
I have to say, the silver-haired angel is really good-looking.
Silver hair, angelic face, white wings, especially that heroic and holy posture.
Enough to make those high-ranking nobles crazy.
However, they just dare to think about it.
After all, that silver-haired angel not only held a lofty status in the empire, but also had incredible combat prowess.
Such a noble existence is enough to extinguish the charm of those high-ranking aristocratic young people.
Ron was thinking when his eyes suddenly shifted.
He just met his eyes.
It was Saint Celestine, with that pure gaze fixed on herself.
Holy shit!
Discovered?
Although Ron was a little embarrassed, he still maintained his posture.
He nodded and smiled politely.
Saint Celestine watched for a few seconds. She also smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
I don’t know why.
Looking at the other party's smile and inexplicable eyes, Ron suddenly felt panicked.
How do you feel like she knows me?
Can’t?
