816 What I'm Actually Looking For Is My Long-Lost Sister
After the conversation with Merlin ended, Lin Luo and the others returned the same way, and the holy mountain that people wandered in because of Merlin's magic was also restored to its original state, and they returned to the royal city not long after.
Lin Luo first let Li Huazuo and Qi Lunuo go back to his home, while he and Artoria came to the palace. My king’s attire is still the same as when he left, covering his true face. It is difficult for ordinary people to see. Such a person of unknown origin is easily questioned, but Lin Luo has the right to enter and leave the palace freely. The guards and knights know that he is a popular person around King Arthur. Naturally, they dare not question or even stop him.
Then, led by Arturia, the two came to a small house in the backyard.
boom!
As soon as he entered this hut, Arturia took off the disguise on his body, and then closed the door tightly... It is naturally imaginative for a man and a widow to live together in a room, but Lin Luo didn't have such thoughts even if he wanted to, because he knew that Artoria brought him here not because he wanted to have sex.
This is a very small room, at least in Lin Luo's opinion, it is about the same size as the bathroom at home, and of course it is not as luxurious as the bathroom.
Medieval Europe was still an era where the church led the trend. Although this trend continued until the 21st century, there is no doubt that in this era, the church is extremely powerful, and it can even be said to be the only organization with a huge authority. Even an empire is far from being able to resist the church.
If you want to be king, you not only need to conquer the country, you also need to be recognized by the church. If the church doesn't think you are a king, then even if you have a lot of territory, you are at most a king of the mountain. As long as the church gives an order, people can surround you at any time.
For example, Artoria's ascension to the throne was also recognized by the church. She merged with France, destroyed the powerful Roman Empire, and accepted the Pope's coronation in the Cathedral of Rome. It was also at that time that she was recognized by the world as King Arthur who truly ruled the Britons.
Arturia is a believer. She was a believer very early on. First, she was influenced by the times. Second, only believers of the church are qualified to become a king, otherwise it is heresy!
In this era, no one dares to refute what the church says. If the church says you are a heretic, then sorry, you will be hunted down by all believers and the whole world. Even if you are a law-abiding citizen, or a king who rules an empire, as long as you are caught by the church, you will have to be burned at the stake... The river crab in the 21st century is very powerful, but the church in this era is obviously better than the river crab.
Let’s talk about magicians. In the 21st century, although the relationship between the Magic Association and the church is not good and they exist as opposites, the church doesn’t dare to attack magicians casually, because magicians are no worse than them. But in this era, magicians are heretics, and they will be hunted down by the church all the time.
When Lin Luo became the palace minister a month ago, the reason why the knights strongly blocked him was that the church also made a lot of contributions here, because Lin Luo has the identity of a magician.
Morgan learned of Lin Luo's identity, so he notified the church, intending to kick Lin Luo out with the church's strongest knife, but the church did not disappoint her, and indeed took action against Lin Luo. Of course, the people of the church did not face Lin Luo directly, but only stirred up the Knights of the Round Table to interfere.
But it didn't work in the end, because Lin Luo was not a magician, but a magician!
These two kinds of existence seem to be similar, they both play magic, but in fact they are very different. The church dares to deal with a first-class magician casually, but it absolutely does not dare to attack a magician.
For example, Merlin, the existence of this character is undoubtedly a thorn in the flesh for the church, it is too annoying, but the church not only dare not do anything to him, even if the bishop sees him, he must respectfully call Master Merlin.
So, after learning that Lin Luo was a magician of the same level as Merlin, the church could only open its eyes and go blind. They have no pressure to deal with a magician, but they want to deal with a magician... Hehe.
Don't say that ordinary believers can't beat them, even if the pope comes in person, they will have to fight against magicians.
Of course, Lin Luo didn't know about this at the beginning, but later, during the conversation with Bedivere, she heard her unintentionally reveal it... Lin Luo was not interested in the church at first, but after learning about this, his impression in his heart was naturally worse. If it wasn't for his lack of strength, he would have wanted to kill the Pope in the Cathedral.
Therefore, at this moment, seeing Artoria praying devoutly to the cross, Lin Luo turned his nostrils to the sky and looked up at the sky, like a proud rooster, and did not take it seriously at all.
In his view, the church is the kind of character that bullies the weak and fears the hard. It only dares to take action against the weak, and pretends to be stupid when facing the strong. There are two modern remarks that fully interpret the essence of the church. Number one, I say I'm right, and that's right. Second, if you think I'm wrong, please refer to the first one.
"You don't seem to like the church?" Artoria prayed every day, but today it ended a little faster than usual because of something on her mind. As soon as she stood up, she saw Lin Luo's disdainful expression and couldn't help asking.
"..." Lin Luo continued acting like a rooster without answering.
Artoria sighed. She naturally knew why Lin Luo disliked the church, and advised, "Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. Although the church's actions... are indeed a bit sharp, they are not as bad as you think. At least the church will not embarrass you anymore."
"Come on, that's because they found that I'm not something they can move, so they didn't dare to make a move." Although Lin Luo usually objected to Artoria's views, he could still control his tone very well, but at this moment, he expressed his disgust without reservation, "You said that the church is not as bad as I imagined, so what about the church openly allowing wives to cheat emotionally? And saying that you can't be jealous when you have a mental affair...Damn it! Isn't this encouraging women to get out of the wall? What kind of wolf ambitions are they having?"
Regarding this point, Lin Luo was very unhappy, he was too anti-worldly, he was simply a public enemy of men!
Arturia was speechless for a moment. She knew that she could oppose Lin Luo's views, but she could not deprive the other party of the right to express their own opinions. She could only say, "In short, the church is not our enemy. I still hope that you will not go against them...the church is very powerful."
She said this not only for the church, but more for Lin Luo's safety. After all, in terms of the strength of both parties, if Lin Luo confronted the church, he would probably die a miserable death. She said this out of warning and reminder.
Lin Luo was not an idiot, so he could hear the meaning of Artoria's words, so he waved his hand and let go, saying, "Well, I won't provoke them anyway."
"Ah That's good."
Arturia nodded in satisfaction, but although she was smart, she didn't understand what Lin Luo was saying.
Lin Luo only said that he would not take the initiative to provoke the church, but he did not say that he would not take action if the church came to him. Anyway, Lin Luo has decided that if the church really dares to trouble him again, let them taste the wrath of Gaia and Alaya!
Don't you, the Pope, consider yourself the number one person in the world, so I wonder if you can escape the one-hit kill of the superficial sister? Doesn’t your church have a large number of people, so I don’t know which one is more compared to the unlimited creation of the leader? Isn't your church what the people want? I wonder if it can continue to be strong under the temptation of Asami Iwasawa's music? !
As for whether the church will take action against him? In Lin Luo's view, if there is a first time, there will be a second time.
"What do you think about the holy lake?" Knowing that Lin Luo would not cause trouble, Artoria was relieved and went directly to the topic of this conversation.
"Of course I'm going!" Lin Luo said without hesitation, "Merlin is acting so solemnly, it's obviously impossible not to go."
"But I don't know how long this trip will take..." Arturia was a little embarrassed, after all, she was not an idler, but a king. She didn't know where the holy lake was, and God only knew when she would find it.
According to legend, after the male version of King Arthur unified Britain, he often went on adventures around the world with some of his friends from the round table group, doing nothing. But this world is not real history, let alone legendary history. Strictly speaking, it should be classified as a fantasy world, and the Artoria version of King Arthur is born to work hard... slaves, of course, it is impossible to wander around and take risks.
"Even if we don't know how long it will take, we still have to go. Have you forgotten that Merlin said that this operation is very important to us." Artoria could not go, but Lin Luo knew that he would go anyway, and he didn't want my king to continue to work hard and end up betraying his relatives, so he tried his best to persuade, "Actually, if you are worried that someone will object, we can use the excuse of finding the Holy Grail."
"Holy Grail?" Artoria had naturally heard the legend of the Holy Grail, but she didn't understand why the Holy Grail was involved, and Lin Luo actively encouraged her to go, which was a little different from before...Suddenly recalling the conversation between him and Merlin, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"ah!"
Lin Luo was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that the fire would burn on him. He scratched his head and acted shyly like a teenager, "Well... probably I want to find my long-lost sister."
"ha?!"
Arturia was embarrassed.
