Betil sat in the carriage, and the carriage followed the people of the Church of War into the Royal City of Soros. She looked through the curtains of the carriage at the surrounding buildings. This was her first time leaving the Rhodes Empire. She is the seventh princess of the Rhodes Empire. Leante is her brother and they have the same mother. Emperor Rhodes had many women, so he had many children. And Bertil is the least powerful of them all, because she is naturally not compatible with the Golden Rule. In the Rhodes Empire, which believes in the Golden Law, Betil cannot believe in gold, which makes her isolated. In the entire palace, only Leant will talk to her. Not long ago, Emperor Rhodes announced that he would negotiate with the Blood Cult and announced the oracle issued by the Golden Goddess. ——A war will be fought with the Blood Cult in one year. This war is just a bet and does not mean that the Rhodes Empire will be hostile to the Blood Cult. Emperor Rhodes stated his demands and planned to send a minister, but no one took the initiative to step forward.
The two major legal forces are going to war, but they are not hostile? How ridiculous? Everyone thought this was impossible. They had all seen the image in the image stone, and the power of the Blood King was deeply rooted in people's hearts. I'm afraid that when the messenger arrives at the Blood Temple and sees the Blood King and says these ridiculous words, he will be torn to pieces by the Blood King! No one was willing to go for the negotiations, even though Emperor Rhodes told them that the bet was an agreement between the gods of both sides, and that the Blood King already knew everything, and this trip was just to make the matter public. In the silence, Bertil stood up. "I am willing to go to Soros to negotiate with the Blood Cult on behalf of my father," she said. Everyone looked at her, an unpopular princess, but she was still a princess. As a negotiating partner, the identity is sufficient. Then everything went smoothly, and Emperor Rhodes smiled after a brief daze. Her request was gladly accepted, and as Bertil's brother, Leant also chose to go along. Everyone thinks that it is very dangerous to go to the Blood Sect this time. The other party dares to confront the incarnation of the Golden Goddess head-on. Will they give face to Emperor Rhodes? Leante didn't want his sister to be in danger. Finally, the person who would go to the Blood Sect was decided. Bertil just listened to the arrangements quietly, looking at her father's empty care. This was the most she had spoken to her father since she was born. In the end, the father didn't care about his daughter at all and just treated her as a tool. Bertil's eyes gradually became indifferent, and the past scene emerged in her mind: her mother was lying on the bed, and even at the last moment of her life, she did not wait for that man. She lowered her head and reached out to touch the pendant on her chest. It seemed as if lightning was roaring in the golden gem. "Betil!" A concerned voice sounded. Bertil looked up and saw his brother's gentle smile.
"elder brother." "We're here." Leante smiled, stood up and opened the carriage door. He got out of the carriage and lowered the steps for Bertil. Bertil also smiled and walked down holding Leante's hand. When she got off the carriage and looked in the direction of Duval and others, the golden gem on her chest suddenly lit up slightly. "That man is very dangerous." An old voice sounded in her ears. "Are you talking about the War Pope?" Bertil asked in his heart. "It's not that person, it's the young man next to him." The old voice sounded again. "Young man..." Betil looked towards Dival, and finally his eyes fell on a figure that looked slightly familiar. She thought carefully for a while, then her eyes slowly widened. She remembered where she had seen this man. In the picture on the photo stone, this person was the one who fought with the Golden Goddess at the beginning! What is it called? …… The Pope's Chamber, the meeting hall. Bertil and Leante sat in their chairs, both of them a little reserved. In the Rhodes Empire, they were all princesses and princes who were not very respected. It was impossible for them to come to the War Church to meet the War Pope. Dival had them taken to the meeting hall and left temporarily, with only a few guard knights watching them. On the other side of the papal chamber, Lear and Duval stood together. "Are you just going to leave those two royal families of the Rhodes Empire there?" Lear asked. "I haven't received any visit request from the Rhodes Empire. Let Rafar handle this matter. What's more important now is the war trial." Dival waved his hand. "Is the war trial about to begin?" "I remember I told you this a week ago." Duval glanced at Li'er. Lear shrugged. While the two were talking, Rafar came over from a distance. "Brother, I have issued orders to the war bishops in all major cities, and the news of the start of the war trial will be announced nationwide soon." "Thank you for your hard work." Duval nodded. "Since the order has been issued, let's start announcing the news on Soros tomorrow. Well, besides this, I have another thing to give you." "Anything else?" Rafar showed a helpless expression, "Brother, I'm already very busy with the war trial. Can't you handle some things yourself?" "Ahem, Rafael, this matter is about the Rhodes Empire. They sent a prince and princess to visit. You know, I always hate such uninvited visits." "The Rhodes Empire?" Rafar was stunned when he heard Dival's words.
"Yes, the Rhodes Empire." Dival nodded. …… After waiting for half an hour, the door of the meeting hall was finally opened. Duval, Lier and Rafar all walked in. Rafar already knew the purpose of Bertil and Leante's visit, and he eased relations with the Blood Cult? When he heard this, he almost thought he had heard it wrong. The three of them sat down opposite Betil and his companion. Rafar looked at the man and woman in front of him. There was little information about the royal family of the Rhodes Empire. The affairs of the Rhodes Empire were generally handled by the Golden Church, and the exchanges between the three major orthodox religions were generally handled by the Golden Pope. Li Er also looked at the man and woman in front of him. Compared with Rafar, he knew a little more. The royal family of the Rhodes Empire was a more terrifying force than the Golden Church. In fact, the power of the Golden Law is far stronger than that of the Arcane Council and the Church of War, but the royal family of the Rhodes Empire has been forbearing, which has led to the separation of powers among the Golden Church, the Arcane Council and the Church of War. "I heard from His Holiness the Pope that you came to Soros to ease relations with the Blood Cult?" Rafar broke the silence and asked. "Yes, your Excellency." Bertil nodded. Rafar raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him. It turned out that this girl was the leader? "My name is Rafael Cardenas, the War Archon of the Church of War. You can call me Rafael." Rafael introduced himself, then pointed to Lear standing beside him, "This is the church's special executive, Lear Stuart." Hearing Lear's name, Leant was startled. He failed to recognize Lear's identity. As for Bertil, she smiled at Lear. After introducing himself and Li Er, Rafar continued, "The Church of War has not received any visit requests from the Rhodes Empire. According to the charter, we need to confirm your identity. Before that, we can only ask you to stay in the Pope's Hall temporarily and are prohibited from going anywhere else." "Or do you have something that can prove your identity?" Hearing Rafar's words, Betil and Leante were stunned. When they came, the empire's diplomats did not tell them these things! Leante's expression suddenly became a little angry. As princes and princesses who grew up in the palace, they had no idea what procedures were required for a visit between two countries. Did the group of diplomats deliberately trick them? To make them look bad in front of Soros? "It seems that you don't have anything to prove your identity." Rafar saw the embarrassment of the two at a glance. As a seasoned veteran, he had roughly guessed their status in the royal family of the Rhodes Empire. Sometimes being born into an imperial family may not be a good thing. Without ability and talent, status alone is nothing. He and Dival both hated such situations, so there was no such royal dregs in the Kingdom of Knox. Although Knox is a kingdom, it has no king. Although it has a Pope, it does not have the idea of the supremacy of imperial power. As believers in the laws of war, the people here are simple and honest. There are not even any nobles, everything is based on strength! Bertil and Leante were both silent. Lear watched the scene quietly. Everything was the same as in his previous life. Both Bertil and Leante are victims of politics. "In that case, I will arrange for the two of you to stay in the Pope's Hall. After we contact the Rhodes Empire and confirm your identities, you can leave on your own." "Well, before that, we will treat you as visitors and give you the treatment you deserve." "Also, regarding your desire to ease relations with the Blood Cult, the War Church can also assist you after your identities are confirmed." Rafar said a lot in a row, and he didn't want to say anything more to the two young men.
Anyway, it is an internal matter of the Rhodes Empire. This visit is also to the Blood Sect, and the War Church is just a side visit. "Thank you, Governor Rafar." Betil gave a forced smile. "I'll ask the knights of the church to arrange accommodation for you." Rafar also nodded, then turned his head and looked at his brother with some resentment. Dival coughed lightly. He really didn't know anything about diplomacy, so he asked Rafar to come. "Well, let's talk about this later. Now I want to hear the teachings of the Golden Rule that you mentioned earlier." Dival looked at Leante. Hearing this, Leante nodded. He still had to respect the War Pope. "That's right, Your Holiness..." About ten minutes later, Leante told everything. "You mean to say that the doctrine of the Golden Rule never mentions the trial of heretics?" Duval's eyes widened. Even Lear beside him had never heard of such a thing. In the previous life, the Golden Rule always mentioned the judgment of heretics, not only in the initial map, but also after the barrier of the Decision Mountains was opened, the Golden Rule also remained the same in more advanced maps. In an area controlled by the Golden Rule, any heretical laws are despised. But now Leante says that such doctrine is the result of tampering by the Golden Pope, but the Golden Pope has been deprived of power? Could it be that the doctrine of judging heretics was added after the Goddess of the Golden Law in the previous life? The Golden Goddess's changing doctrine? Recalling the end of version in the previous life, the Golden Church's purge won a complete victory, and in the end only the Morning Star Law protected by the Arcane Council remained. At that time, the Golden Pope was in the limelight and even received the blessing of the Golden Goddess. Did the Golden Goddess change her doctrine because she saw the faith benefits brought by the Golden Church's trial of heretics? And now all this has changed, is it because of me? Lear fell into deep thought. This was the only reason he could think of. "Yes, the Golden Rule is all-inclusive. This is what my father taught me since I was a child. Before, it was the Golden Pope who changed the doctrine in order to promote the Golden Rule." Leante did not hide anything. "This matter will be announced soon, and the punishment for the Golden Pope will be announced at that time. The measures taken against the heretical sects will also change. Of course, this change will only apply to friendly heretical sects. For the evil heretical sects, the Empire will still take measures of trial." As Leante continued to speak, Dival and the others fell completely silent. This is so unbelievable. It's like a crazy gambler telling you, I will never gamble again. There was a brief silence in the hall. After a long while, Duval spoke: "I can't be sure whether what you said is true or not. We will verify it with the Rhodes Empire. If that guy Ulysses is really punished, I will believe you." "I promise, everything I said is true." Leante replied seriously. Duval smiled and said nothing. "In that case, please stay in the Pope's Hall for a while. You can walk around in the Pope's Hall, but you cannot leave it." Leante and Bertil nodded. They had no other choice. "Let me take you to your residence." Lear said at this time. Both Dival and Rafar looked at Li'er.
The former's eyes were filled with a hint of doubt. He glanced at the delicate-looking Bertil, as if he understood something. "Ahem, Special Executive Lear, the war trial is about to begin, and we need you to oversee it." Dival said dimly. "It's just supervision, anytime is fine, or do you think the believers of the kingdom are unable to complete the trial?" Lear smiled slightly. He then looked at Bertil and Leante, "I am just taking them to their residence. I have no other intentions. Your Holiness, please do not think too much." (End of this chapter)
