Chapter 56 History (Part 2)(2/2)
"Sir, I want to remind you that the Church of Radiance is also made up of humans and cannot be confused with the Lord of Radiance."
"We have already concluded that the Lord of Glory cannot directly intervene in this world. He and the church are more like collaborators."
"Tell me your conclusion." Victor said impatiently.
"What the Lord of Radiance really cares about is cutting off the connection between the devil and this world. On the one hand, he requires the elimination of awakened people, and on the other hand, he wants to prevent large-scale blood sacrifices in humans."
"Sir, you see that wars cause a large number of civilian deaths, which have the same characteristics as blood sacrifices. These human beings will have strong negative emotions such as hatred, fear, and pain when they die. I think this may be beneficial to the devil."
"And all the church's unreasonable behaviors point to one key point, which is the Radiant Code. All their actions are to comply with the Radiant Code. And it has never changed for thousands of years."
"Sir, have you noticed that knights cannot awaken, but they can obtain the power of magic and become a paladin. After a golden knight becomes a paladin, he immediately has the power of the legendary realm. Therefore, magic is the foundation of the church."
"I guess that if the clergy violates the Code of Glory, they will lose the power to perform magic. The Lord of Glory does not need the power of faith, and the church may really need to harvest faith, but they must not violate the Code of Glory, otherwise no matter how much faith they have
It doesn’t make sense either.”
"Wait a minute, the Code of Glory was formulated by the first pope, why did he restrict his successors?" Victor asked quickly.
"Sir, you seem to be deeply hostile to the Radiant Church. Can you tell me why?" the king asked.
"I don't like having an extraordinary creature on top of me. I always feel that the Church of Radiance has a conspiracy." Victor replied simply, and he didn't need to hide it from the king.
"Sir, this kind of prejudice will make you make mistakes in your judgment. Judging from what the first pope did, he is indeed a great and wise man."
Victor was speechless, yes, why couldn't Enoch be a noble man? Judging from the things he did, that was it.
"I guess the thing is like this. After Enoch cooperated with the Lord of Radiance and eliminated the Awakened Group, they entered into a contract. The church was responsible for eliminating wizards and preventing a large number of human beings from being massacred, and the Lord of Radiance gave the church the gift of harvesting faith.
And the ability to use divine magic. In order to prevent the church or the knight class from degenerating into rulers like wizards, Enoch compiled the Code of Radiance and was witnessed by the Lord of Radiance."
"As for the Lord of Radiance, I think he behaves more like a law creature, or like a program. He will not distinguish between a person's good and evil. Therefore, Enoch needs to use the Radiant Code to restrain those who come after him."
"If the knight class degenerates, the church will attack the knights. If the clergy violates the code, they will be deprived of their power. It can be said that I have misunderstood the church. They are indeed noble." Victor sighed.
said in a tone.
"Sir, the nobility of the church is meaningless. The Brilliant Code has restricted the development of the human world. The church is on the opposite side of the aristocracy. This contradiction will lead to changes within the church."
"Indeed, Edwin's subsequent narrative confirms this, but why do you think there won't be a war between the nobility and the church?" Victor asked in surprise.
