Chapter 585 The Rights of the Caster
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 expressions of surprise, and then began to discuss among themselves in whispers. As they discussed, the news began to spread around, and their movements formed a ripple, moving from far to near. The tavern where Nathan was located spread over.
The buzzing chatter finally reached the ears of Nathan and Sita.
"Wizard? Wizard?" "The Grand Duke recognized the legal status of wizards?"
"Do wizards really exist?" "Nonsense, if wizards don't exist, has the church been dealing with the air in recent years?"
"I heard rumors in the tavern a few days ago..."
Of course, Nathan and Sita didn't know what the official had just read to the people. 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 people of Eaton life and property, 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 their fighting, the lives and property of the people of Eton were preserved, 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 going 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." The guy in chains just stood by the window. , watching the movement on the street expressionlessly.
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 basics of good things. Who attacked them? Isn’t it clear who protects them and what choices to make?”
"Furthermore... the Grand Duke used some tricks to quietly spread the matter of recognizing the legal status of spellcasters a week ago. In the streets and alleys, in taverns and hotels, they have been quietly discussing it for a long time. But there was no official statement before the official announcement was made after so many days of planning, and the people were actually mentally prepared for it.”
"Now that the first country has stood up, let's see how big an impact it can have on the world. Uh... By the way, Nathan." Sita suddenly asked: "Where is Ms. Mariana? Why didn't I see you today? to him."
"Ah, I was just here to drink." Nathan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I received a message from Gabeira yesterday, and I urgently set off back at night. I should have told you as soon as we met."
"News from Gabeira?" Sita was startled, and the chains on her body clattered. "Did something big happen to His Highness?"
"You didn't even tell me, maybe." Nathan spread his hands, "Do you think the two princes are going to have a showdown? Then there will be great excitement."
"If that's the case." A trace of regret appeared on Sita's face, "It's really frustrating not being able to personally contribute to His Highness and witness that great moment."
"Hahaha!" Nathan laughed, looking out the window at the no longer crowded street, "I don't care, it's the same everywhere. Isn't our ability to pin down the Holy See here also a huge contribution?"
Sita's face returned to its usual expression, 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 the Corner Bay.
"That idiot Elvis made a mess in Corner Bay. It's just a mess. He can wipe his own butt 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 frowned tightly. From the beginning, the Holy See did not support or even faintly opposed the witch-hunting movement carried out 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 finished venting, he slowly said: "Now accusations and abuses can no longer solve the problem. The Horn Bay Church has suffered a huge defeat on two fronts. The heretic army is advancing towards the church's headquarters in Collins. Should we sit back and watch them bear the consequences themselves, or save them?"
"Send troops to help them now!" "Let them fend for themselves and then we will eliminate the heretics!"
The two voices sounded almost at the same time. There is nothing to say about the new sect heretics. Of course, they should be eliminated, but there is a disagreement among the high-ranking officials of the Holy See on the timing of the action.
No mistake, one sentence, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!
The dispute between the two sides gave Pope Harrington II a headache. He whispered to a young priest sitting next to him.
"What do you think, Anthony?" Perhaps this young man can give him a different feeling.
"Your Majesty, I can only say..." The young priest replied: "If there is a fire in my house, I will try my best to put it out before the flames spread to the whole house."
