Chapter 629 Punishment Resolution
"Don't be so excited. I didn't say to rob the cathedral immediately." Xia Fan handed him a cup of tea. "Only when you know yourself and your enemy in everything can you make the next plan... Sit down and talk slowly?"
Felayton took the tea and drank it in one gulp. No, be calm... Once you lose your sense of normalcy, you will be led by the other party. Xia Fan is indeed important, but he is not irreplaceable. The only thing he cannot lose is the girl named Qian Yan. It's just that the relationship between the two is very close, and he can't smell anything that can drive a wedge between them for the time being, so it's best to keep Xia Fan under control until absolutely necessary.
"Mr. Ambassador, I advise you not to get involved in the internal struggles of the church at any time." He said in a solemn tone, "Taksis may have other ideas, and the church will not easily sentence high-level dragonborn to worship the gods. Punishment, but if you go, then her behavior will be suspected of apostasy. The most important thing is that this is not Azure Castle. The red high priest has legendary strength, and there are many adult lizards and ancient lizards. Once they are attacked. Get up, your manpower will definitely not be able to handle it."
"I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't stop me from learning more about the situation in case I need it." Xia Fan said slowly, "So... where is the confinement room?"
Feleyton sighed secretly, "It is in the north of the Holy See area, not far from the Ambergris River. It is surrounded by high walls, and the entire church area is equipped with many protective spells, or a kind of giant mystery lock, which collects warnings and defenses. Integrating it with counterattack, don’t even think about recreating the Holy Palace’s rescue method.”
"I remember that this kind of magic will set a switch password, right?"
"This is the case for small mystery locks, but you can also see that this kind of password is easy to crack, so the mystery lock at the Sun God's Base Camp will be much more complicated - for example, consciousness is used as the key, and only the Pope can control the magic switch. "Feleton spread his hands, "Of course, this is all my guess. After all, the Hera Cathedral has not encountered a real crisis, and no one knows how it works."
"Well..." Xia Fan fell into deep thought. From this point of view, it is indeed a bit tricky to recruit people by brute force, and he also knows that the other party's concerns are reasonable. Normally, he wouldn't be worried about Taksis' condition, but the current situation is different. Essentially, this is not a battle between Hera and evil spirits, but a struggle between the Church and the Mage Tower. Everyone knows that taking advantage of your illness can kill you, and the enemies behind the scenes will probably not miss this opportunity to shake the faith of the church.
"It's better than this," Feleyton saw Xia Fan fell silent, and quickly guided him, "I will continue to help you inquire about the church's affairs, and at the same time use this time to rescue Princess Muye, what do you think? After all, if you insist on planning If you intervene in Miss Yongyi's matter, the church will definitely not be able to provide you with any help. It is an understatement to say that you will become enemies. And my master's strength is also extraordinary. In the event of a head-on conflict with the church, she can also increase the chance of escape. ”
"How do I know that you won't sneak away after the vampire is rescued?" Xia Fan was quite suspicious of his words, "Besides, if the vampire princess can escape from prison, the city of Shila will be boiling. When the time comes, if the church uses some weird magic to find me, I won’t have time to take care of Taksis.”
"My master has a noble character and will repay kindness. Your suspicion is groundless!" Feleyton defended the princess, "And you don't need to worry about causing trouble in the city. If you handle it properly, you can remove her from the place of confinement. Being rescued won’t even attract anyone’s attention!”
This sentence finally aroused Xia Fan's interest, "You have repeatedly emphasized that rescuing Princess Muye is not a difficult task, but you also said that the princess's blood is quite noble. Don't these two contradict each other? Is she being imprisoned? Where can the church be so lax and not afraid of her running away? "
You finally asked this question, Feleyton couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Her Royal Highness is now imprisoned in the original palace."
…
On the top floor of the cathedral, Archbishop Burton was considering the final verdict on Taxis.
"You must have read the report of the Department of Canon Law. If you have any ideas, you can put forward your thoughts now." He glanced at the red priests present and said slowly.
His Majesty the Pope did not come forward, which shows how disappointed he is with Yongyi's attitude.
If this trouble hadn't occurred, Taksis would have been the new red-coated member of the temple council.
To be honest, Bolton also had a headache.
He is old and is gradually entering his twilight years - although the blood of dragons gives them power that will not decay over time, that does not mean that the lifespan of dragonborn is unlimited. After reaching the end, they will die in a very short period of time and return all their power to the world. This process is so fast that sometimes there is no time to react.
Because of this, he attaches great importance to those younger generations who shine with the brilliance of the newborn sun. Although the ancient dragon is powerful, it only represents the present. Those young dragonborn who have just fledged are the future of the church.
Taxis is one of the best.
Sometimes he even thought that if the person whose faith was confused was the red priest here, it might be better than if Taksis had a problem.
But ideas are ideas.
As a bishop, his most important mission is to defend the majesty of the church for His Majesty.
"Since the Department of Discipline has not found any problems, my suggestion is the same as before, just deal with it coldly." Alec put down the report and the Blue Castle investigation book in his hand, "The most urgent task now is to let Hera return to the world. When Taksis's magic is restored, perhaps her thoughts can return to normal."
"As her boss, I don't think this matter can be let go lightly." The head of the jury said with a stern face, "Punishment is necessary, such as letting her start again as an ordinary member of the jury, or letting her serve as the new head, but the bonus and treatment are calculated according to the lowest level."
"Is this also considered a punishment?" Mayne said dissatisfiedly, "Don't forget that many believers witnessed this at the time. Your so-called punishment is no different from a child's play! Since you can't speak fairly, you might as well shut up!"
Sedaro was immediately speechless.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Bolton looked at Ms. Mayne.
"The abbot of the monastery, Deacon, suggested to me that she should be punished by wing chopping--"
"Wait, this sentence is too harsh!" Saidaro couldn't help interrupting, "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, there is no reason to cut off your own hands. Takhisis has such an idea for the church!"
The punishment of wing chopping means that the victim cuts off one wing in public after turning into a dragon. Although the broken flesh wing can be regenerated after a few years under the treatment of spells and the strong recovery ability of the dragonborn, the pain and psychological humiliation caused by the broken wing are indelible. He couldn't imagine whether Takhisis could recover after experiencing such a punishment.
"Yes, I also think it's a bit too much, but this also shows the attitude of other believers." Mayne said with a serious face, "So my opinion is to ban Takhisis's ability and let her take the road to dragonhood again."
