Chapter 30: Empty the Holy See At the moment when the angel descended, every living citizen in Avignon opened the window in surprise, walked out of the door, and then fell to his knees on the ground with tears of joy, enjoying the sudden moment with infinite gratitude.
The brilliant light falling from the sky, giving people a slight sting It is sacred, bright, dazzling, pure and comfortable, a wonderful light that can drive away all haze and evil, and heal all fatigue and illness.
Bathed in this brilliant holy white light, the tired nuns who had been taking care of the sick for days suddenly felt energetic and their bodies were filled with inexhaustible vitality; the dying patients, who were covered in abscesses, rotten and smelly, were pleasantly surprised.
I suddenly discovered that all the large and small dark spots, abscesses and tumors all over my body, as well as various hidden wounds and old problems over the years, were all healing at a speed that could be clearly seen with the naked eye.
Even some wounds that did not need to be healed were indiscriminately healed by this white light.
Under the shroud of the holy light, many women suddenly felt a heat in their earlobes, followed by a "ding" sound, and the effect of earrings falling to the ground was much better.
The head treatment technique actually healed their ear holes.
Then, just like the situation in Marseille, in front of these holy angels who eliminated the disaster, the dying citizens of Avignon all cheered and worshiped, and their hearts were filled with infinite joy and relief.
Qiaolick, who had just been cured of a serious illness by a miraculous magic, was so excited that he burst into tears of gratitude.
He almost danced to welcome the "angels" into the luxurious Papal Palace, thinking that this was a great honor.
Then, it took these "angels" less than an hour to completely destroy the bright image of heaven in Qiaolick's mind.
"I don't care whether this is a relief panel from the ancient Roman era or not.
Let's dig it out from the wall first."
"Oh, there is actually a secret room behind the relief board, and there is a large box of gold coins at least three thousand ducats.
This pope's private money is really rich.
Moreover, this treasure was only left behind when he fled in a hurry and had no time to collect it.
After all, can it be said that there is more money around him?
Well, since we have solved such a big trouble for him, we must ask for another filial piety when we meet."
"Arab-style scimitar.
How could there be such a thing in the house of a European pope?
Could it be a trophy of the Crusaders?
However, the gems inlaid on it are quite big.
Use props to identify them and try to see.
The genuine Damascus knife belongs to the Caliph of the Arab Empire.
It’s a royal thing.
This sword can be pawned for 10 million yen.
It’s a pity there aren’t more.”
"Pearl bracelets, this thing is not very valuable in modern times.
After all, pearls can be cultivated artificially.
The inkstand in the Pope's study is actually made of gold.
It is really luxurious.
It must be confiscated quickly.
There is also this mahogany one.
The desk seems to be quite valuable, let's pawn it together.
Someone please pack up the documents you wrote, I want to move the desk away."
"These handmade woolen coats embroidered with gold thread seem to be worth a lot of money, and the mink and bear skins over there seem to be good too.
Unfortunately, they are too old and some have faded and fallen off.
I don't care, so I will pay whatever I can sell for it."
"Damn, why are the stables in this palace empty?
By the way, the Pope probably took all the horses away when he was fleeing.
When the old man comes back, he must let him take the horses and carriage Donate them all” "I've almost got all the valuable things.
Now let's calculate the profits.
Well, we raised 220 million yen in the Papal Palace alone.
There are also seven churches, seven monasteries and seven nunneries in the city. , I don’t know how many things can be found there.”
In the dusty and sparsely populated Papal Palace, a certain robber cat named Doraemon was jumping up and down excitedly, throwing every valuable thing he saw into the automatic pawn machine.

Whether it was Persian carpets, ivory furnishings, gold and silver vessels, statues and paintings, exquisite antiques, luxurious clothing, or furniture made of high-end wood, they were all swept away by him, not even the heavy bronze lamps on the niches were spared.
As a "little fresh" pope who likes luxury and enjoyment, and also pursues literature and elegance, Clement VI obviously has no interest in asceticism and purification, and he has no intention of treating himself badly in life.
Therefore, various people in the Papal Palace All kinds of furnishings and utensils are very luxurious and elegant, and everything is of high quality.
Yes, except for a few worthless rags, the entire splendid, luxurious and magnificent Papal Palace was quickly plundered by Doraemon with extremely high efficiency as if it had never been renovated.
In order to take away some fixed items Statues and decorations, he even did not hesitate to break holes in the walls to destroy them.
But we have to admit that the European Catholic Church in this era has indeed amassed an astonishing amount of wealth through cleverly creating names and plundering all Christians.
Even if the wealth paid to the "weak center" of the Avignon Holy See only accounts for a tiny fraction of the church's total income, and the wealth that can ultimately be transferred to the Pope himself is even smaller, it is still enough to make Doraemon the robber The cat was overjoyed.
"Well, it seems that we can leave the fundraising to Doraemon.
Let's go to the square outside now and treat the citizens of Avignon.
We can't just collect money and not do anything."
Looking at the machine The cat was so excited that it almost meowed.
Wang Qiu sighed, turned around and said to the two royal sisters Marikawa Shizuka and Nan Lixiang, only to find that Marikawa Shizuka was clasping her hands and lowering her head, as if she was remembering something.
So Wang Qiu couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Hey, teacher Ju Chuan, what are you doing?"
"To honor the lost integrity of my childhood idol, Doraemon."
Teacher Shizuka Marikawa replied with a sad look on her face.
Alas, there is no other way.
As the saying goes, "Once you owe a loan shark in this life, your moral integrity will be useless from now on."
Here, please observe three minutes of silence for Doraemon-kun’s integrity.
"Oh God, what are you doing?
What kind of angels did you send to save the world?"
Although as a person who had just saved his life from death, the Pope's physician Jolick did not care much about these extraneous things.
They were not his things anyway.
However, seeing these angels who were supposed to be noble and holy and did not eat the fireworks of the world, in the bright light, Treat the plague and save all sentient beings Yu, behind the scenes, he was actually like those ferocious bandits, looting and scraping the ground in the solemn Papal Palace, not even sparing the sacred magic weapons.
Next, it seems that he will fight against all the various factions in the city.
Dr.
Cholic, who was in the monastery, still couldn't help but feel that his soul was broken.
"Hey, man, please be more open-minded.
We also have our own difficulties.
It's not easy to get a good job in heaven.
In order to seek promotion and get this mission to save the world, our leader But if we can’t get our money back after giving a huge tribute to the archangels in charge and a lot of promises in the mortal world, why are we still working so hard and we can’t explain it to our superiors or our subordinates?”
Senior Sister Ma Tong, who happened to be slacking off next to him, casually made nonsense to the confused medieval Christian, "Don't show such a surprised expression.
In your mortal church, don't you buy and sell priesthood every day?
Don't talk about you."
After staying in Avignon for so many years, I didn’t know that every priest, bishop, and archbishop would have to spend a lot of money to take office.
Money, if you want to get a good job instead of sitting on the bench, you have to spend more money.
As for the cost of running for the pope, it will only be more.
Obviously, all these expenses for seeking positions and jobs must be paid by the buyer.
After receiving the position and mission, try to get more out of the job, otherwise no one will be willing to work for the church, and the situation is the same in heaven.”
"I have to admit that the mortal church in Avignon is indeed somewhat corrupt and degenerate.
In addition, there are many debaucheries.
Many people are criticizing that the papal court has almost become a "Whorehouses and trading shops."
After taking a deep breath, Dr.
Qiaolik finally nodded with difficulty, but still had a very hurt expression on his face, "But your place is paradise."
"Well, what happened to heaven?
Which angel was not a mortal before ascending to heaven?"

Ma Tong "angel" raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Besides, we are only getting some benefits while saving the world.
Compared with those who only receive The guy who doesn’t care about money is already much better.”
"Well, it seems that I, a foolish mortal, have imagined heaven too beautifully."
Dr.
Qiaolik rubbed his temples with throbbing veins, "I wonder if you can satisfy the curiosity of this humble mortal like me, Your Excellencies.
How much money did you spend to get this job?"
"If converted in terms of mortal currency, it is approximately equivalent to 1.5 million ducats in gold coins.
Of course, this is only the most basic amount.
If the time drags on for too long, interest will be calculated every month, because we are I was able to take office only after borrowing a loan shark," Ma Tong replied.
"One and a half million ducats.
God, I don't know if there are such many gold coins in the entire Kingdom of France.
The total income the church receives from all countries in Europe every year is only 300,000 to 400,000 ducats.
It should be said that this Is it worthy of the price of heaven?”
Before Columbus discovered the Americas and caused a large amount of American gold and silver to flow into the European market, due to the long-term outflow of gold and silver caused by the continuous import of oriental spices, silk and other luxury goods from the ancient Roman era, the amount of gold and silver in Europe in the Middle Ages was very scarce, even if It was also difficult for the king to come up with thousands of gold coins.
And the same gold ducats and florins could buy as many things as before and after the Age of Discovery.
Qiaolik was first frightened by the horrifying amount of money and took a breath, but then he discovered an even more incredible fact, "Wait a minute, loan sharks collect interest every month.
I remember that according to canon, loan sharking is against ethics.
Christians who do this should not be able to go to heaven unless they receive atonement and forgiveness.
Are there seats for Jews in the Lord's heaven?"
"You should have imagined this.
You can buy a place in heaven with money.
Of course, the same goes for a place in hell.
Do you have any dead enemies you want to torture?
As long as you give enough money, you will be a saint among saints.
You can also throw them into the lowest level of hell.
On the other hand, it is also very easy to let a sinner go to heaven.
As long as gold and silver are thrown into the box and the sound of the clang is heard, the soul will immediately jump out of purgatory."
Ma Tong, who always lacked moral integrity, kept his face open and mouthed nonsense without changing his expression, but poor imperial doctor Qiao Liq believed it.
"Oh, I'm desperate, I'm desperate.
God, I'm desperate for this paradise, which is just like the church and everything is about money."
"Please be realistic, this uncle who looks like a bear, the world has always revolved around wealth and power, whether in heaven, hell or on earth.
What kind of morality and ethics are the priests of Avignon?
Character, we also learn from it in heaven.
In short, just like the situation in the church, there is nothing in heaven that cannot be traded with money, but the price is much more expensive than in the mortal world."
Facing this medieval uncle who was forcefully forced to become a complainer, Senior Sister Ma Tong reached out and patted Dr.
Qiaolik's broad shoulder as if to comfort him, and then continued to brag without drafting, "As long as you can raise enough money."
Money, even the seat of God or Jesus can be bought and sold, just like the prohibition in the ancient Roman Empire.
The guards often auction the throne, hey, don't faint, uncle, hey, he really fainted.
This guy looks quite strong, but his mental quality is really bad.
He can't even bear such a little stimulation.
Laamon, Doraemon, where are you?
Come and help, this guy is too heavy, I can’t pull it after he faints."
"I'm busy.
Just put it on the floor and let me pry open this wall to see if there is a secret room hiding treasure behind."
From the far end of the corridor, there came the vague and absent-minded reply of a certain twenty-second century bandit cat comrade.

Well, in a sense, Ma Tong really didn’t lie: as long as you have enough money, Doraemon can indeed make you addicted to being a god.
Of course, the charging standards for this "Promote to God Project", It will definitely be very, very, very, very expensive oshow7:
