Chapter 625 Taksis's Proposal
There was silence in the hall for a while.
All the spectators stopped even whispering - faced with such shocking remarks, the first thing they doubted was their own ears.
Can the church that has betrayed Hera still be called the Church of the Sun God?
"Taksis!" Zedaro shouted loudly from behind, "What are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up and take orders from your Majesty!"
The voice of the head of the trial team broke the silence of the ceremony.
The crowd recovered from the shock, and suddenly the Sun Hall seemed to explode!
"Silence, silence!" Mayne couldn't help but stood up from the chair. She walked to the railing of the stage and looked down at the girl, "What ridiculous remarks. Could it be that your soul has been polluted by the evil spirit and you can no longer see it?" The glory of Hera?"
"I am willing to accept the soul-searching secret technique to prove that these words come from my own thoughts and are not the temptation of the devil or the control of others." Taxis opened her hands calmly, "My lords, please Think about the past of the church! A hundred years ago, gods were just descriptions on the pages of books, and magic did not appear in people's hearts - wasn't the Church of the Sun God still standing on the Kingdom of the Islands at that time?
"It's unreasonable!" Mayne shook his head repeatedly. "For hundreds of years, gods have come to the world from rumors and given believers the power to crush enemies. Doesn't this represent the progress of the church? We can do things now that were impossible in the past; in the past We can now solve insurmountable difficulties; from crossing rivers to crossing oceans, from lighting bonfires to summoning the sun, aren’t all these changes worthy of praise?”
As soon as the words fell, a deafening response echoed in the temple!
Obviously, Ms. Mayne's words are more touching - it is precisely because the church has improved itself bit by bit and protected the world that it finally resulted in the coming of gods. If this is not considered progress, what else can prove the church's achievements over the past hundred years?
Everyone is God’s favorite.
No one wants to go back to an era without Hera's light.
"I have never doubted the glory of the church, nor have I lost my faith in following the Sun God. What I said is all based on the fact that the unprecedented evil of the Son of God has indeed corroded the gods and caused the magic to be lost instantly. It works!" Faced with the crowd's uproar, Taxis refused to retreat, "Even if the Mystery Lock is used to make the gods reappear, who can guarantee that what happened in Azure Castle will not happen again? With all due respect, I'm afraid the church can't stand it again and again. Once the blow has reached that point, it will be difficult to turn back!”
"Alarmist!"
"Since the enemy is a mage, wouldn't it be enough to eliminate them before they plan the next round of conspiracy?"
"Taksis, are you afraid of this battle?"
"You are not worthy of being a presiding judge!"
The sound of scolding behind him was endless.
"I have a question." Alek pushed up the unilateral gold-rimmed glasses on his face, "Taksis, I taught you when I was teaching that there is no point in just criticizing a phenomenon unless you can propose something. Practical solutions. In this case, denying God means losing divine magic, which is the church's most powerful "weapon" in facing various threats. Let’s not talk about the Mage Tower and the forces that are secretly at work. How should you deal with just a Natatine? One party has the blessing of the Moon Goddess, while the other party has lost all divine power. If there is a conflict, the consequences can be imagined. You should also know that Silisti did not target the countries of the Sea of Tranquility, but took the lead in attacking the World Island, because the elves did not have a god to protect them. "
"Returning to the teacher's question, we can rely on ordinary people and demon possessors to make up for the loss of divine magic." Taxis said to Alec, caressing her chest, "During the investigation in Azure Castle, I heard some... very interesting things. A profound theory. To put it simply, as long as the church controls the hearts and minds of the people, it is impossible for the enemies within the Holy Wing Islands to truly defeat us. Whether it is the mages or the nobles and wealthy merchants, their food and clothing needs to be produced by the general public. A deep connection between the church and the people has been established, and any enemy who tries to oppose the church will become a target of attack across the country! "
"Isn't that what the Church of Hera has been doing?" The Archbishop couldn't help but interjected.
"Indeed, the church has expanded to what it is today by bringing sunshine and warmth to the world." Taxis nodded in agreement, "But this connection gradually weakened after the appearance of the gods. In Azure Castle, I saw employees being enslaved in factories, and many people crowded into shacks with sewage flowing across them. They were clearly under the sun, but they didn't get any protection. I found that there are many people like this...if the church can. Come forward to seek their interests, and we will still be able to survive without Hera."
"What about the vampires on the other side of the Sea of Tranquility?"
"If the Sun God will be eroded, then the Moon God will also be the same, and I think that day will not be too far away. When all the countries in the Sea of Tranquility lose their gods, the sooner the church can make changes, the better The greater the advantage," Taksis said without hesitation, "If the archipelago is invaded by a powerful enemy, the church can also take the initiative to use this technique to pull all the gods into the abyss. From this point of view, the impact of the Mage Tower is huge. Investigation is still necessary, as it will give us a deeper understanding of the entire process of evil."
Everyone was in an uproar!
Destroying evil spirits is the bounden duty of the Church of the Sun God. Now there is a presiding judge who promotes the power of evil spirits and tries to control it for his own use. Such blasphemous words are simply more unbearable than pagans!
Alec didn't say anything else. He sighed and closed his eyes.
"Look at the disciples you taught!" Mayne's tone was obviously angry. "A priest who was highly expected, a young judge, would actually say such absurd words. If it spreads to the people, how will others view the Hera Church?"
"But she proposed a solution." Alec shook his head. "Of course, this does not mean that her solution is correct, and the cost of doing so is still unknown, but for this matter alone, I recognize her doubts and efforts."
However, the opinion of a red priest is obviously unable to reverse the overall situation.
Most believers pointed their spearheads at Taksis Yongyi.
"I implore the trial to purge the internal members. She is clearly corrupted by the evil spirit!"
"Expel Taksis from the church!"
"She is not qualified to serve the goddess Hera anymore!"
"She is a traitor to Hera!"
Even if there were a few different opinions, they were drowned in the boiling condemnation.
Some even rushed to the center of the hall and spit at the girl, but these actions were blocked by Sedaro's cloak.
Pera IV stood up with a look of disappointment, no longer looking at Taksis, and turned to walk into the shadow of the platform.
The archbishop knew what Your Majesty was thinking. He walked to the center of the platform and announced loudly, "From now on, Taksis Yongyi will be relieved of all her duties and handed over to the Canon Law Department for soul search and interrogation. After reaching a definite conclusion, we will make a final judgment on Taksis! Dismissed!"
