Chapter 102 Rest Time (XIV)

Chapter 102 Break Time (Thursday)

In a small room in the central church, the hooded priest pushed the door open and looked at the male priest standing in front of the table, facing the entire wide map of Teran.

Carefully walked to him, not wanting to disturb his thinking.

The leader of the Holy Advent Sect.

The male priest's eyes were focused on this wide structural blueprint, and he saw the hooded priest who pushed the door open.

The hooded priest saluted the male priest, and the male priest also saluted him.

After a round of greetings, they began their real communication.

"Do you have any information about the attitude of the Patriarch and the bishops towards us?"

"The Patriarch and the bishops of the Discipline Sect are extremely opposed to our actions."

The hooded priest shook his head and apologized for it.

"This is the Holy City, this is normal."

The male priest sighed, and his finger fell on the symbol of the Holy Advent Sect in front of him. The medal was made of gold-plated iron, cold and hard.

He felt a rare sense of peace in his heart.

Even if God does not exist, they will continue to live according to the commandments. This is the attitude of most priests in this city.

God may not be a part of their lives, but the commandments are integrated into every chapter of their lives.

"Your Majesty did not oppose our actions, nor did he show any support."

The hooded priest recalled the scene at that time. It was ridiculous that the leaflet was not even handed to the Pope by him, but the Pope took the leaflet from him.

When the old pope in his casual clothes saw them, they immediately felt guilty like a child who had done something wrong facing his teacher. They wanted to leave the sight of the man who was closest to God. Their legs were shaking with fear. The other party came over and comforted them softly, taking the flyer from their hands.

Then, then they left.

From beginning to end, the pope did not say any extra words to them.

"It's okay, your majesty will need to look us in the face."

The male priest nodded and looked at the wall of books behind him.

All new technologies and knowledge are not allowed in this city. Their magic and rune research can only be developed within a very limited range. No, that is not development, it can only be called use.

Thousands of new inventions are born in this city every year.

But the male priest knows what those so-called new inventions are. They put the templates made by their predecessors together like children assembling jigsaw puzzles, and put them together into different shapes.

Combination, patchwork.

Just like a jigsaw puzzle, no matter how they piece it together, they only have so many modules to use.

All they can do is learn the knowledge that has been developed in the library.

Curiosity and thirst for knowledge are poison. If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening. The Holy Adventists seek to move forward, explore unknown technologies, and understand the essence of the world. Tran only has one level five city... This is the level division told to them by those outsiders, and their current city is level five.

The male priests don't know why there is such a classification. These are all information brought to them by outsiders. They slowly piece together a completely correct picture from it, just like piecing together the knowledge in ancient books.

Each different stage of technology is divided into levels.

But when they want to understand from these outsiders why they have a level five city, these people's answers are all kinds of confusion, and the information is so messy that even their smartest priests can't summarize more effective information.

This is not a bad thing. The priests suddenly found themselves special and were happy for a while.

But what to move up? What should a level 6 city look like?

They can make this holy city, which has been stable for thousands of years in the commandments, shine with the glory of the new century. They can make everyone enjoy the same life as the upper-class citizens. They only need new technology... the clarification of the essence of divine arts... This is enough to erode the commandments.

For those priests who want to develop new technologies and want to understand this world deeply.

The church will expel them, expel them from the holy city, and forever prohibit them from setting foot in the holy city.

But the holy city is their hometown, and they have no malice.

Until the appearance of those outsiders, the outsiders accidentally revealed it, or perhaps they intentionally revealed it.

There is no goddess of light, no goddess of life... and no gods in this world.

This is nothing. As far as the male priest knows, even several patriarchs of the Holy City believe that gods do not exist. Not involving progress, Tran is particularly open-minded about everything.

But life does not know whether the gods described by these outsiders exist. They are already very experienced in this issue. And these outsiders actually show them the possibility of the future. The priests got a clearly drawn blueprint of the future from their mouths.

That is a beautiful future that they have never seen.

The divine art shows that they are not lying.

The priests would rather admit that they are lying.

The crusaders have no opinion on their behavior. They are nominally directly under the Pope and accept the dispatch of the Privy Bishop.

As the hooded priest said, the Pope did not comment on them.

The various patriarchs had different reactions to their actions, some opposed them, some supported them, and some didn't care. They were not united, and those who were outside the precepts were not interested.

No one stopped the expansion of the Holy Adventists.

They grew stronger, expanding exponentially within a few months, gathering a number of people he dared not even think about.

The male priest sighed.

The attitude of the top leaders towards them was so unclear that he gradually became confused about his own plan. If they could show some of their attitudes, even if they were opposed, he would feel more at ease than now.

He knew that he did not want to leave the Holy City. He wanted the Holy City to become more advanced and prosperous, and then the spread of these technologies would help other city-states and free them from famine and hardship.

Even if it was just a little bit, it would be good to make the Holy City progress slowly, and build this city bit by bit.

Everyone can live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Can the Holy City have a place for those who want to do research?

Pursuing ideals means being expelled from their hometowns, and staying in their hometowns to enjoy a stable life means not being able to conduct their own research. He did not understand why the laws interpreted by the Pope would have so many technical restrictions.

They did not ask for too much.

"Mr. Antonio, I'm leaving first. They are still waiting for me."

In this silence, the hooded priest also sighed and said goodbye to the male priest.

The male priest, or Antonio, put his hand on the commandments and laws, and softly swore his ideals to the god in his heart, praying that the goddess of light would give him enlightenment, find the true path from the fog, and pray that he could have a happy ending.

Antonio still remembers the day when his scholar father led him to the cathedral 20 years ago. It was sunny and there was a holy celebration. They walked through the corridor to the hall. The ceiling of the hall was covered with colorful glazed tiles, reflecting the brightest color under the sun.

In the center of the glazed roof, a stream of light descended, covering every child who came forward to take the oath.

That day, under the Pope's gaze, he swore an oath to the Goddess of Light according to the Code of Discipline, saying that he would become a priest in the future. The Pope looked at him kindly, touched his head, and gave him a copy of the Code of Discipline.
