Chapter 484: The Holy See Envoy 2
"Dear Ambassador, I disagree with your words!"
Seeing that the envoy from the Holy See was still going to negotiate, King Collins was very excited. He stood up with his chest puffed out and his eyes rounded.
Then he said in a loud voice: "We have waited with the greatest patience for the coastal countries to change their minds, but our patience and concessions have been exchanged for humiliation. Now is the last moment, and it is also the time for us to retreat to the cliff. At the edge of the moment, if we take another step back, we will inevitably fall to the bottom of the cliff, and the glory of the Lord of Light will also fall from the glorious supreme sky to the bottomless abyss of darkness."
After hearing what King Collins said, the emissary of the Holy See, Leadbetter, almost lost control of his emotions and wanted to spit it out on the spot - screw your damn patience and concessions.
He really wanted to ask Segovia II.
you! And your Archbishop Elvis, can what you do be called patience and concession?
The main purpose of the witch-hunting movement should be to keep people alert to witchcraft at all times, and should focus on education and warning - not endless burning of people.
This kind of thing is all about a degree, just enough is enough, why should it be expanded again and again.
A good corner bay, a former trade transfer station and a prosperous place that everyone knows, is now in a shambles. Both foreign and local merchants are in danger and remain silent.
Which coastal country does not rely on trade to make a living? Now that you have ruined other people's jobs, can they not fight with you?
Just expand the scope a little. Who told you to touch the nobles in power? Good guys, you even dare to arrest the wife and sister of the Grand Duke of Eaton. Don’t you know that even the Holy See has been carefully handling the relationship with the powerful nobles?
Your so-called patience and concessions are nothing more than issuing ultimatums again and again, which are clearly serious provocations in the eyes of others.
He often uses a arrogant tone and condescending attitude, which makes anyone uncomfortable.
In fact, the current Pope does not want to engage in any witch hunting movement at all. After thousands of years of continuous suppression, magic and witchcraft have long become rural legends. Occasionally sporadic reports, most of which are often surprising in their authenticity. Suspect.
Of course, as the people who hold the most secrets in the Holy See, His Majesty the Pope and other senior officials are very clear about the fact that witchcraft does exist, and they also know that there is a lot of witchcraft hidden in the corners of the world. Manipulator.
However, as long as those practitioners of witchcraft stay in the corner and wear masks all their lives, His Majesty the Pope will not bother to find them out and clean them out. If you talk about it in detail, they will be like rats and locusts. The total damage caused by human beings is much greater than that of witchcraft. Human beings cannot eradicate rats and locusts.
If any blind wizard dares to jump out and cause trouble, let the nearby Inquisition handle it quietly to control the scope of the situation.
The fewer people who know about it, the easier it will be for the church to deal with it; the more people who know about it, the more troublesome it will be for the church to deal with it.
How good is it to maintain a tacit understanding like this?
But what does it mean to do it in a big way like Elvis, for fear that others won't know?
In the past, those practitioners of witchcraft fought alone, and it was easy to deal with lone wolves. Now under such high pressure, they will inevitably form an organization and join forces to deal with the threat of the church. It will be very troublesome to deal with the wolves. .
However, the Pope cannot openly oppose the actions of the Jiaowan Church, because the denial of witchcraft is one of the founding principles of the Holy See. He rashly ordered the Jiaowan Church to stop its spontaneous witch hunt, causing ideological confusion in churches across the mainland, and even It would shake the authority of the Holy See.
After Elvis launched the movement in Corner Bay, the Pope could only send several groups of people in succession to "instruct" the Corner Bay Church on how to distinguish the differences between wizards and ordinary people, and did everything possible to avoid affecting ordinary innocent people.
However, as if there is some behind-the-scenes force behind the scenes, the situation always escalates rapidly again after calming down. Of course, the religious fanaticism of the local church headed by Elvis that almost abandons all reason provides the repeated basis for the situation. A hotbed.
Now what worries the Holy See the most has happened. The expansion of witch hunting has aroused resentment from the secular government and the people. People will doubt the motives of the church in doing so, thus shaking the dominance of the Church of the Lord of Light in the field of human thought.
well!
Leadbetter sighed inwardly.
Although he wanted to express his dissatisfaction, as an envoy of the Holy See, he still had to maintain the necessary restraint, and of course he could not make a fuss on such an occasion.
He said: "His Majesty Segovia II!"
However, before he could continue, he was interrupted by Elvis, who was sitting in the front seat.
"Okay! Stop arguing."
His beard trembled slightly, as if he was using great strength to control his emotions.
"I agree with Mr. Leadbetter's opinion and let him make an effort for peace in the Horn Bay. But..."
His eyes became sinister, which was very inconsistent with his status as an archbishop.
"This is really the last time. If the coastal countries cannot return to the glory of the Lord of Light immediately, then they can only wait for the wrath of the Lord of Light!"
After speaking, the archbishop left everyone behind and walked away.
Segovia II glanced at Leadbetter dissatisfied, stood up and left.
No mistakes in the content of the first post, read it in the 6-9 book bar!
Lebetter said goodbye to everyone and left his seat to go to his residence.
The important people in the meeting left, and the remaining people also left in twos and threes.
Antony, the cardinal priest who served as the special envoy of the Holy See with Leadbetter, stood up hurriedly and chased after Leadbetter.
Antony caught up with Leadbetter and walked side by side with him.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sir Libet, is it really necessary to go on this trip? I feel it will not help."
Libet also lowered his voice and answered, "To be honest, I don't have much hope for this trip. But I still have to go."
Anthony asked doubtfully, "Why?"
"The most important thing is to make our attitude clear, draw a line between the Holy See and the Horn Bay Church, and let others know that we are us and they are them. Even if the Holy See is finally dragged into the war by the Horn Bay Church, we must reserve a channel for subsequent negotiations."
"Negotiations? If the Holy See... we go out in person, can't we guarantee victory over those businessmen?"
Libet shook his head, "If I were a general, with the strength of the Holy See, I believe I would have the confidence to win, but now I am also a diplomat, and I must be prepared for all possibilities, even if the possibility is infinitely close to zero."
