Chapter 141 140. With the Church of Light, the Heresy Trial Bureau Must Be Indispensable
Mo Cheng followed someone closely among the crowd, and he felt an aura on that person's body that shouldn't belong here. This aura aroused his curiosity and also caused some concern.
In order to find out the identity of this person, Mo Cheng put aside the matter of accompanying Lilia to school and followed the person who gave him a strange aura.
Walking among the crowd, he followed the nobleman in front of him who was dressed in gorgeous clothes but had only one servant following him.
They were young aristocrats who came to Fairhaven to attend school. Their family background was not very good and they did not have a private carriage. However, for the sake of the so-called noble dignity, they would often bring one or two attendants with them.
Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy occupies a huge area, but the two people in front consciously went to a remote place with few people. Judging from their journey, they obviously had a clear destination.
Mo Cheng naturally had to provide enough cover if he wanted to follow him. Under the influence of [Seventy-two Changes], the two people in front hardly felt that they were being followed.
A plainly dressed scholar first appeared among the crowd. Ten steps later, his eyes were dazzled, and the scholar disappeared. He was replaced by a wealthy businessman wearing a gem ring, and then a student from Winterhold holding a book, who even looked like a minor noble. When the two walked into a secluded forest, following them was already a lazy black cat that could be seen everywhere in Winterhold College.
Mo Cheng followed the two of them all the way to the hut in the woods, which seemed to be a place where lumberjacks or hunters rested when they entered the forest. The black cat made a few light passes without alerting anyone to the direction facing the window of the hunter's hut. , turned into a tree mixed among many trees.
Looking through the window, in addition to the two people he was following, there was also a man with a gloomy expression.
"David, Burton, just you two?"
The Yin Zhi man's status was obviously higher than those two people. David and Burton bowed and saluted when they saw him, "Captain Hardy, we are the only ones in Fairhaven who can come at this time."
Hardy frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the small number of people coming, but still said nothing.
"Come this time..."
Just when he was about to say something, Hardy looked around cautiously, then took out a scroll and opened it. Suddenly, with the hunter's cabin as the center, a nearly transparent light shield spread out to the surrounding fifty meters.
When he saw the scroll in Hadi's hand, Mo Cheng was shocked and covered his body surface with holy light. When the light mask swept over, there was no reaction when it came into contact with the holy light on his body surface.
Mo Cheng recognized what it was. The [Vigilance Barrier] of the Radiant Church was very common in the hands of the Radiant Priests. It was used to set up an alarm device in the wild. Once there is an intrusion from a foreign object, it would wake up the person who installed it.
But few people know that the [Vigilance Barrier] of the Church of Radiance is an inferior version of the unpopular spell [Luminous Asylum]. In addition to forming a vigilant area with a diameter of fifty meters, [Luminous Asylum] can form a vigilant area with a diameter of fifty meters, and all non-Holy Light lives in the area Individuals will be marked.
Among the Church of Radiance, there is only one force that would modify the spell [Luminous Shelter] so that the mask becomes transparent and also has the effect of disguise, deception, and surveillance.
"Tsk, the Inquisition has hit the jackpot."
Even Mo Cheng didn't know how to evaluate his luck. He was able to encounter the Inquisition Bureau, which was notorious even among the Glory Church, in the Principality of Aundair, a place where the church's power was extremely weak.
The Heretic Tribunal was once a subordinate order within the Radiant Church. Its philosophy was to use force to eliminate the [unclean people] who had sneaked into the Radiant Church. In Mo Cheng's opinion, they belong to the most evil group of people in the church system.
If compared with the organizations that Mo Cheng is aware of, then the Inquisition Bureau is a combination of [Kerberg] [MI6] [CIA] and [Mossad], and may even be more powerful than these organizations.
Because the Inquisition does not only collect information from various organizations in various countries, but also determines whether it will harm the glorious faith.
It is also responsible for internally investigating the intelligence of the powerful nobles and kings of various countries within the sphere of influence of the Glory Church, to ensure that the secular regime will not be tempted to deviate from the teachings of Glory because of some interests.
Even within the Glorious Church, it has very huge ruling power. For members below the bishop, it can require the other party to unconditionally cooperate with interrogations about faith.
As far as Mo Cheng knew, the power of the Heretic Bureau within the Radiant Church was so powerful that at its peak, it could even interfere with the Pope's will and launch an external [holy war].
But that is all in the past, because the power of the Inquisition Bureau was too great, and it could even interfere with the Pope at one time, and every director of the Inquisition Bureau had plans to run for the Pope, but every time he failed to win the Pope's throne. .
The Church of Radiance has gone through five hundred years, and three popes have continued to work hard to weaken the power of the Inquisition. Finally, twenty years ago, the Pope and the cardinals joined forces to exile Archbishop Alfonso, the director of the Inquisition, away from the Glory. The center of church power.
Archbishop Alfonso was dissatisfied and intended to mobilize the power of the Inquisition to force the emperor to oust him, thus triggering a civil war within the Glorious Church.
After the war, Archbishop Alfonso disappeared, and the Inquisition was disbanded. At the same time, the captain list of the Inquisition was missing for unknown reasons. Subsequently, members of the Inquisition lurking in various countries died mysteriously due to various reasons.
After that, the Pope reorganized the Inquisition Bureau, but it was only used for internal supervision of the internal faith issues of the Glorious Church, and the name was also changed to the [Inquisition Bureau].
But Mo Cheng knew that the former director of the Inquisition Bureau and the former Archbishop Alfonso was not dead. He even saw the advantages of the players in [Foreign Land] and extended an olive branch to the players before they had grown up.
After that, he tried to lead a large army to counterattack the Glory Church and wash away the past grudges with the Pope, of course with the blood of the other party.
The final result of the war was that the Pope used his glorious power to kill Alfonso, but he was also severely injured and could barely hold on until he died a year later.
At that time, the rewards of the civil war of the Radiant Church were very generous. Even Mo Cheng participated in it. Unfortunately, he was the only one who did not contribute enough on the battlefield and could not get the generous prizes given by the Radiant Church.
Mo Cheng couldn't remember many things related to that war, but he still remembered clearly the evaluation of Alfonso by the players of the Inquisition.
"Fanatical religious ideas, racial and ethnic theories, and radical methods are even more hawkish than hawkish. He is only short of publishing a book "Mein Kampf". Wait, fuck! There is really a rumor circulating within the Inquisition about Alfonso The book he wrote, this guy really has a copy of "My Faith"!"
Then why do players think that he is a hawk among hawks, a subordinate of Alfonso, the former director of the Inquisition Bureau, at the Winterhold Comprehensive Magic Academy?
