Chapter 601 The Flower of Blood and Bone·Past History
“The Inner Temple Awakened..., the products of the aristocratic new sarkic succession have all come here. It seems that they have a lot of momentum now. Take root in the Edici Federation and pull you into the abyss of human body trade."
Xia Xiu nodded thoughtfully, while muttering in his heart:
" I just don’t know if the mind of the warlock in charge of the Inner Temple Awakening is normal or abnormal. According to the history records of the two houses during the Heavenly War and the Thirty Years War, the Inner Temple Awakening was the most thoroughly affected new force. Sarkic Factions ”
Most of the known Neo-Sarkic sects seem to have originated from some Sarkic Empire nobles (the Grand Patriarchs of the Sarkic Empire and their families) who were influenced by the original Sarkic Solomonites. heirs).
In this land, there are always some people who take the initiative to find them for various reasons such as worshiping devils and being fond of witchcraft. Most of these people are noble nobles from the old era.
The Sarkic people, who were in need of change, did not refuse to contact these people. They served as advisors to the lords on alchemy, medicine, astronomy and supernatural matters.
This situation gradually evolved over time into the "big family" of Sarkicism.
Wealthy families practiced their own understanding of Sarkicism, putting the individual before the collective and adapting it to their needs to serve themselves, and they began to intermarry.
The interesting thing is that in the Middle Ages of Terra, this new Sarkic religion spread through marriage in Youyang.
Once a foothold is established, the great clan will begin to incest.
This is especially true for the royal family in the Youyang feudal period. The royal family and the nobility attach great importance to the purity of blood and believe that incest marriage can maintain the noble blood and legitimacy of the family and enhance the legitimacy of rule.
The new Sarkic faction of the big family is concerned about - "Desire is the measure of all things, do not be bound by the reins of morality; do what you want, do to the people you want" - the creed of the Sarkic motto There is an original flavor in the understanding.
Moreover, in order to maintain and consolidate power and property, the royal family and nobles often choose to marry close relatives.
In this way, the outflow of royal assets and power can be prevented, ensuring centralized control of wealth and territory.
For most of the new Sarkans who have become large clans, marriage is a political tool. They can consolidate and strengthen the relationship between different royal and aristocratic families through consanguineous marriage, and promote political and military cooperation.
The Awakening of the Inner Temple is the product of the emergence of a large family. In addition to the religious hierarchy, these new sarkic people have another extremely complex class system.
As a form of genealogy, Neo-Sarkic cults attach great importance to bloodline, and the marriages of these secretive nobles form the basis of pacts and powerful Sarkic families.
Individuals basically join Sarkicism from birth, and new blood is introduced through careful selection.
In the early days, when the Sarkic Empire collapsed, the Sarkic Cult was just a different form of ruling Youyang. They ruled all the various parts of Youyang based on the original feudal clan established by Ion. plate.
Through the name of Ion, they boasted that they were born noble and had a central and orthodox ruler.
At that time, the Kingdom of Heaven also began to show its fangs. In 312, [Emperor Constantine] formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven after winning the Battle of Milvian Bridge with the support of the Heavenly Resolution Assembly, 313 The Treaty of Milan Union was established in 2001, and the Oletin Empire formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven and began a vigorous war to expel aliens.
After many rounds of optimization, the lineage method and the think tank method began to spread rapidly, and began to impact Terra's original extraordinary system.
Then the first secularization of the Kingdom of Heaven began.
The Church of the Holy Temple began to stand on the land of Terra and spread rapidly.
Among them, monasteries played an important role in the spread of secularization and cultural education.
They are not only centers of belief, but also centers of preservation and dissemination of knowledge and culture - the main body and authority of the man-made church think tank [Azazel] and the human arsenal [Mostema] are in the monastery.
Through [Azazel], monks can connect with the heavenly lineage and can share senses and feelings.
Through [Mostima], monks can mobilize the resources of heaven and eliminate all filth and evil.
Moreover, at that time, the kingdom of heaven handed over the think tank and arsenal to the church, with full autonomy.
The church began to gradually expand extremely. At that time, there was a saying to describe the church like this - "The church is like the sun, and the king is like the moon. The majesty is shown through the light of the church!" 』
The pope and bishops play an important role in the political affairs of various countries, and the church's wealth and land further consolidate its position.
After being baptized, many barbarian leaders and kings implemented the Holy Church as a national religion.
Moreover, the religion itself and the central nobles controlled by the New Sarkic are at odds with each other. Some of these enfeoffed noble families are also controlled by the Inquisition of the Holy Church (a human armed group established in imitation of the core organization of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Inquisition The court only obeys the orders of the think tank [Azazel] and the Pope) to clean up.
The rule of the new Sarkic clans continued until the end of the Middle Ages and began to be affected by this impact. At that time, with the rise of centralization, as the country gradually transformed from feudalism to centralization, the monarchs established more A strong central government was used to weaken the power of local feudal lords.
Then came the loss of control of the Holy Church and the corrective movement in the Kingdom of Heaven.
No one expected that the church would decay so quickly.
They "buy and sell the priesthood" and abuse the think tank [Azazel] and the arsenal [Mastima].
The extreme secularization of the clergy, many clergy, including bishops and abbots, live a luxurious life, pursue worldly pleasures, and neglect their religious duties and the program of the kingdom of heaven.
They accumulated wealth, owned large amounts of land and property, and sometimes even participated in political struggles.
Some church personnel hold multiple church positions at the same time (appropriating think tank resources) in order to obtain more income.
Because of holding multiple offices or pursuing secular interests, some church officials often do not perform their duties in the parish or monastery where they were appointed.
This kind of absenteeism makes church management loose and believers do not receive due pastoral care.
Pope and high church officials sometimes maintained and expanded their power through political manipulation, bribery, and military means.
Some corrupt church members have even begun to try to rub against the bottom line of the kingdom of heaven. They have low moral standards, live a dissolute life, and violate the church's abstinence and celibacy regulations.
For example, some church members openly keep multiple mistresses and even have children out of wedlock. Some have been captured by the "Prince of Joy" and have begun to blatantly violate human supremacy and fund alien restoration movements.
They even got involved with the new Sarkites.
At that time, the Kingdom of Heaven was beginning the Crusade, beginning the mission of purging the heirs of the Sea of Chaos, and fighting against the remaining living gods.
In [Unknown Land], Eden has discovered that something is wrong with the current church, so he ordered the Cluny Abbey to launch a reform movement in an attempt to correct the corruption within the church and restore the purity of religious life.
However, the reform effect was minimal, and the church with [Azazel] and [Mastima] openly disobeyed Eden's reform instructions.
The church even regards these actions as the localization of the "Utopian Program" in this world. They call this a great revision of the program's main thrust.
The Heavenly Kingdom Resolution Assembly was forced to take time out from the Eastern Expedition to issue correction requirements to the current church, and stopped the so-called keynote revision of the [Utopia Programme].
I thought the church would obey the demands of the resolution meeting, but they only replied with one sentence - "We refuse to obey all unreasonable demands from an unknown place."
The furious resolution meeting immediately passed Eden and issued three highest order orders, demanding the abolition of the Pope and the church handing over the autonomy of [Azazel] and [Mastima]. The pope defied the supreme decree, and the reforms initiated by the Abbey of Cluny failed.
And due to the negligence of the Holy Church, the Father came to this world, and the gift of the Father called "Black Death" began to spread across Terra, and everyone wailed.
Temple Church...
Disrespect Eden!
No respect for the utopian program! !
Do not believe in human supremacy! ! !
Disobey the instructions of the resolution meeting! ! ! !
These four mistakes lead to the [Unknown Land]...
The angels were furious! ! ! !
Subsequently,
the first sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven represented the Kingdom of Heaven and visited Youyang in person.
The Kingdom of Heaven will take back all worldly authority and purge all rebellious people.
The [Spear of Adun] originally used to fight against the gods began to aim at the monastery base camp of [Mostima], and the continuous bombardment began to tilt down.
The Holy Church did not sit still, they also began to rebel against the authority of heaven.
The failure of the religious reform led to the outbreak of the "War in Heaven".
Subsequently, the "Thirty Years' War" broke out in Youyang due to the "War in Heaven". It was one of the most destructive and complex wars in Youyang, involving multiple major powers and religious conflicts. .
The trigger of the war was Bohemia, and then it spread to Youyang, and also to the royal family that was originally controlled by the new Sarkic. Uprisings occurred one after another in various places.
The awakening of the inner temple was the poor thing affected by the [War in Heaven] and the [Thirty Years' War] at that time.
While Xia Xiu was recalling the relevant information about the awakening of the inner temple, Lisa took over what he had just said.
"Yes, they have huge power and cruel methods. We were forced to have no choice at first, but then...then we couldn't escape."
Xia Xiu's eyes were fixed on She seemed to see through her soul.
"So, now can you tell me how the Inner Temple Awakening operates this trade line? What is their operating mode?"
Lisa took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and began to detail Telling everything she knew.
“The Awakening of the Inner Temple has established multiple secret strongholds in the Edici Federation. They obtain human organs through various means, including kidnapping, trading and deception. There is a dedicated person in charge of every link to ensure that every transaction The transaction can be completed smoothly."
Xia Xiu's eyes were cold and his tone was unquestionable, "Go on, what are the details of their operating model?"
Lisa's voice was filled with emotion. A little trembling, but she knew she had no way out,
"They have agents in various cities. These agents are responsible for finding suitable targets, and then using various means to bring these targets to secret strongholds for processing. The processed organs will be traded through underground networks and eventually flow into the black market."
Xia Xiu frowned, pointed to somewhere in the factory and said, "Just like that."
In the direction Xia Xiu pointed, there was a gloomy hall.
This hall is spacious and empty, with mottled crumbling walls and a faint smell of disinfectant filling the air.
In the center of the hall, some skulls are placed naked on the ground covered with white linen.
The skulls are arranged neatly, and each one is delicately processed.
The white bones look particularly dazzling in the dim light, as if they are quietly telling the dark story behind them.
The light shines on the skull, casting long shadows and creating a chilling atmosphere.
Each skull has been cleaned cleanly, without a trace of residual tissue or blood.
Small cracks are clearly visible between the bone seams, as delicate as sculptures. White linen sets off the skulls, making them look purer and colder.
The surface of the bone shimmers with a faint luster, showing the texture after special chemical treatment.
On the surface of the skull, careful observers can see tiny chemical traces left behind during factory processing.
In order to ensure the cleanliness and durability of the bones, the factory uses a variety of chemical methods for processing.
The ultrasonic cleaner removes the fine dirt on the bone surface, while the chemical disinfection tank uses powerful disinfectants to completely kill all bacteria and pathogens.
Finally, the skull is soaked in a special solution that not only makes the bone stronger but also gives it a subtle sheen.
The display of the skulls on white linen is like a piece of exquisite art, and every detail demonstrates the professionalism and rigor of the factory's processing.
These chemical treatments not only make the skull look flawless, but also ensure its safety and durability during trade and use.
All of this silently reveals the cold and efficient production line behind the factory.
Xia Xiu's eyes swept over these skulls, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
His expression was still calm and composed, and then he turned to look at Lisa, his tone still calm, "These skulls look like they have been processed extremely complexly and delicately. The same is true for your brotherhood, a branch of the White Insect Secret Cult. Processed? ”
Lisa shook her head, her voice low and trembling, "No, this processing method is the expertise of the Inner Temple Awakening Order. They have a very high level of professionalism in this field, and we are just following their instructions. Operation."
Xia Xiu nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised by the answer, "It seems that Inner Palace Awakening has indeed invested a lot of resources and technology in this human body trade line."
< br>After Lisa heard this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and her slightly trembling fingers clenched together unconsciously, as if trying to grab something that could reassure her.
She swallowed and her voice became deeper, "They have technology and resources that we cannot match. Every step of the operation is extremely precise, and every detail has been tested and adjusted repeatedly."
"Yeah..."
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven swept his eyes across the row of skulls, and suddenly said something that caught the female forensic doctor off guard.
"It seems that they also like to build Jingguan, just like building blocks."
