Chapter 760: Archbishop

Latest URL: Originally, Veserys flew to Novos to find this mysterious monk who mastered prophecy, but unfortunately, when Veserys set off, he had already passed away.

However, the corpse in the opponent's coffin was missing, and the old monk did have the ability to predict, so it was unclear whether he was really dead or in feign death and didn't want to see Viselis.

Even if it was the latter, Veserys did not force the opponent to come out and meet him, so he boarded the dragon and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Veserys sensed the existence of the black mist, and then followed the inner call to find Novos, who was hailed by the "Long Legs" Lomas as "one of the seven miracles made by the gods". Sinkhole.

Viselis discovered that this place had the same origin as the bottomless hole under the body of the old **** outside the Great Wall and the black hole left by the collapse of the Fourteen Fire Peaks in the ruins of Valyria.

This tiankeng is also a bridge to the underground world.

There is even an inexplicable impulse in Veselis that has been urging him to plunge into the embrace of the abyss, and even intensified, but he was held firmly by him at the last juncture.

"go!"

In the end, the young man with silver and blond hair no longer hesitated.

He didn't give himself any chance to waver, and then suddenly turned his head and strode onto Bellerion's back, and then ordered it to fly away with him.

Bellerion's scarlet eyes also looked at his partner's back. Although it didn't know what happened, it could feel Viselis's inner struggle through telepathy.

It was very pleased to see that the opponent had defeated its own will, and then the black dragon let out a low roar.

"Roar…"

The strong hind legs suddenly exerted force, swept the wind and knocked down the trees, and took Visiris straight to the sky, and soon disappeared into the sky.

...

At this time, King's Landing.

Visiris didn't leave King's Landing for a long time, not even as long as he had called ‘vacation’ in Gaoting, but something happened after he left.

One thing cannot be regarded as a major event, but it cannot be regarded as a trivial matter either.

That is the Fat Archbishop, because the monks of the church have to give up their family names, and the former archbishop has to give up his secular names.

This is because people believe that the person who holds the position of the archbishop is no longer a person, but a spokesperson for the gods in the sky. However, this custom makes it difficult to distinguish between successive archbishops, so people can only use some characteristic descriptions to refer to an archbishop.

Today, the archbishop of St. Belle’s Basilica in King’s Landing is known as the ‘Fatty Archbishop’.

The trouble he got in was actually not too big, he was just sleeping in a bed with a few women who traded in skin and flesh, and he happened to be caught out and paraded out.

The people who did this were a few fanatical followers of the Seven Gods, which can even remind the people of King's Landing of the days when the sparrows occupied the bottom of King's Landing many years ago.

They use violence to oppose everything that does not conform to the doctrine of the Seven Gods. They believe that people are born sinful, they besieged brothels, smashed taverns, poured drinks all over the floor, and so on.

These fanatical followers of the Seven Gods claimed to be uncomfortable with the greed and corruption of the archbishop, so they came forward to expose the truth.

However, no matter what punishment they will receive after being arrested, the archbishop’s reputation is discredited, and it is certain that he cannot continue to do it, otherwise the last fig leaf of the Church of the Seven Gods cannot be retained.

Therefore, the archbishops from all over the world jointly decided through the cardinals to dismiss the archbishop.

The archbishops are each responsible for the beliefs of one party, and are equivalent to the council in the church, called the cardinal group, and those who are too far away are passed on by ravens.

Under normal circumstances, the archbishop is elected by the archbishop, and the archbishops can also unite to remove the archbishop when necessary.

However, the church will not always have no archbishop. Then who should be the next archbishop will be put on the table. Several highly qualified archbishops are even ready to move.

Although there are precedents in history where the king directly appoints the archbishop, most of the time the Iron Throne will not interfere with the appointment of the archbishop, but is elected by the monks themselves.

And now, His Majesty the Emperor happened to be not in King’s Landing, so under the circumstances that could not wait, the archbishops chose not to wait for Viselis to return, but to directly hold a conference election.

But at this time, one name was directly mentioned, and that was Brother Aegon.

Although Aegon gave up his surname, no one in the church will forget his original identity, especially since he still has that iconic silver hair.

Aegon was born in the imperial family and volunteered to join the Seven Gods Church.

Although archbishops are often born from among archbishops, this is not absolute. There are many other examples in history. There was an archbishop who was a stonemason in the time of Baylor I, and there was also an eight-year-old in the time of Baylor I. Archbishop.

Then there was a fierce game about the choice of the next archbishop of the church.

Although with the continuous expansion of the empire's territories and the more diverse cultures it has absorbed, the influence of the Church of the Seven Gods is declining, and there is no ability to influence and threaten the kingship at its peak.

However, although the Church of the Seven Gods has declined, after all, the lean camel is bigger than the horse.

They are still the main body of the empire, Westeros, and the main people of Andals, the religion with the widest number of people and influence, so it is natural that they should be valued. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Brother Aegon’s name was constantly mentioned and discussed publicly, including some ‘good people and good things’ he had done.

For example, he would donate the food and clothing allowance in the imperial family to the poor. For example, his life style is frugal, for example, he is willing to have fun with the people in the poorest flea den in King's Landing, and so on.

And there seemed to be people behind Aegon who supported him. Although they didn't show up in public, they all seemed to be of high authority and came from the top of the empire.

They just stomped their feet to make King's Landing tremble. Although the archbishops of the church are considered to be personal things in front of the common people, they are naturally unattractive to face such people.

Therefore, in just a few days, from the prostitution of the archbishop to the dismissal, the entire process of the election of the new archbishop was quickly completed.

And Visiris flew back to King's Landing at this time.

However, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be coming back so quickly that some people in King's Landing were not prepared.
