At the beginning, the power of the new school was not strong, and it was frantically suppressed by the old school.In order to protect themselves, the new faction had to hide their identities and turn to underground activities.With the development of the Church, the old school gradually changed its flavor, and the germ of human supremacy appeared.They look down on the barbaric and backward subhuman race, and feel that these subhumans are just like vampires, and they are all filth in the world.The human nations sent troops to destroy most of the subhuman nations, and drove many subhuman races to the wild lands or unexplored lands.All this is the result of the old school secretly fueling the flames.While the New School advocated racial equality, the clergy at the top were small enough to prevent these wars.Until fifty years ago, the new Pope Raev XXII succeeded to the throne.He was a staunch Protestant, promoted a large number of Newcomers, and was ready to bring about a revolution within the church.Unfortunately, Raev XXII was too merciful to execute only a few high-ranking officials of the old school who were stubborn and fiercely resistant.For the remaining upper echelons of the old school, the pope simply dismissed them from office and then imparted the ideas of the new school, intending to assimilate them gradually.As a result, Raev XXII was assassinated by old-fashioned figures after only three years of reign, and many of the new-school high-ranking officials who were promoted were also assassinated.The revolt of the old faction was so swift that the new faction, which came to power for the first time, was hit hard.To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.This is the result of believing too much in the goodness of human nature and ignoring the evil of human nature.Having said that, the approach of Raev XII was not completely useless.The old faction, which had regained power, elected a young rising star of the old school and succeeded him as Raev XXIII.But what I never expected was that the new pope had already accepted the ideas of the new school under the teachings of the twenty-second generation.It's just that he hid it so deep that it wasn't discovered by the old-school people.In view of the fate of the twenty-second, the twenty-third knew very well that if he wanted to completely eradicate the old school in the church, he had to be ruthless enough.He secretly contacted the new faction, developed a military force loyal to him, and secretly prepared a major operation.Two years later, when everything was ready, a great change quickly swept through the church, and the clergy, who had been confirmed to be of the old school, were arrested and beheaded.For a time, the ruling class of the entire Caleb Holy Sect was in a bloody storm.The old school was devastated, the new school quickly turned over, and the largest number of centrists fell to the new school.In the end, the new faction took control of the Holy Church of Caleb with an absolute majority.Even so, it is not to be taken lightly, there are some old-school people who hide deeply, waiting for the opportunity to turn over at any time.After this great change, the ruling class of the Holy Church of Caleb has almost changed its blood.Since many outstanding talents in the old school were executed, the national strength also weakened to a certain extent.There are also some hidden dangers that need to be dealt with, and many of the clergy who are stationed abroad are old-fashioned.They will certainly not be willing to let the old faction lose power, and will inevitably develop local forces behind the scenes and find opportunities to rebel against the central government.It would be a headache to deal with the old schools at that point, and there would be a civil war, or even the Lumichalian religion would be forced to split into two new religions.As a result, Raev XXIII had to make a strategic retrenchment, recalling all the Templars stationed in various countries, retaining only a basic number of clergy in each church, and vigorously promoting the ideas of the new school to the faithful.In other words, the external influence of the Holy Church of Caleb has long since deteriorated.Even now, the Holy Church of Caleb is still led by the New Sect, but it is no longer able to stop the acts of war in other countries.For example, the fall of the Gurman kingdom, the birth of a powerful empire in the West, etc., were all major events that occurred during this period.However, thanks to the new faction's rise to power, the treatment of vampires was changed to the Inquisition first, and harmless vampires were managed in a safe shelter.As for the subhuman race that has lost their land, there is really no good way.It is impossible to expect the nations to return the land that originally belonged to the subhuman race, and the nobles value the land more than their own lives.I can only hope that the new school ideas can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and human beings will no longer continue to oppress the subhuman race.This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult road.It's no wonder that Bishop Flynn is open to the lizardmen, and he is probably a newcomer too."
I see, the conflict between the old and the new schools of the church."
After listening to Teresa's story, Owen finally figured it out.Nine times out of ten, Yuchina's companions were killed by the old school of the church.When it was discovered that the vampires did not report to the higher authorities and acted in flagrant violation of the rules of the church, they were the only ones who dared to do so.
[Hmph, human supremacism, like white supremacy on our side, is the ideology of racial elements, and it is a wrong idea to always feel that one's own race is superior to other races. 】Winster said in his head.
[I agree with this, for example, lizardmen are generally stronger than humans in terms of physical ability, and each race has its own characteristics, and there is no superiority or inferiority. 】After replying to Winster, Owen looked at Teresa curiously."
You just went to the Holy Church of Caleb to study, how can you know these things?
No matter how good you are, you're just a high-ranking priest after all. ”"During the three years of my studies, I had a cardinal who took good care of me.""
Oh?
Took good care of you?
”Owen suddenly became alert, and he always felt a little blocked in his heart."
Oops!
What are you thinking, Lord Owen?
”Teresa hurriedly explained, "The cardinal is Lord Ludis, who bears the name of a saint in the Holy Church of Caleb, and is about my age, so he has a good relationship with me.I also learned about these things from her. ”"It turned out to be a saint."
After a pause, Owen added, "Teresa, I hope you can hide from Bishop Flynn about Yuchina, just say that this time we have encountered strong resistance from the vampires, and you have been eliminated by the Holy Light. ”Since Yuchina was reluctant to go to the Holy Church of Caleb, Owen had to find a way to keep her in the Frontier Town, and had to hide it from Bishop Flynn first."
I said I would help you."
Teresa agreed, "I need something to prove it, though." ”"Proof?
What is needed?
”"As for the animal skin on Yuchina, it's something to be thrown away anyway, so let me take it and deliver the mission.""
No problem."
When the conversation was over, the two stood up from their seats.Teresa was going to pick up the hide.Owen plans to call Clive over and ask him to announce in the square that the vampires have been eliminated to stabilize the hearts of the people of Frontier.At this moment, there was a trumpet sound from the north, the second wave of the undead monster's attack!
It came a little unexpectedly early.Outside, Marpel slammed open the door and shouted inside, "Lord Owen!
”Teresa also had a serious expression on her face, it seemed that she would have to go to get Yuchina's animal skin again later, and she would have to go to the medical center first to make all kinds of preparations.Nodding heavily, Owen said solemnly: "Go!"
Go to the north side of the city wall. ”
