MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 693 : Are you sure this is the will of the gods?

"Untouchables, it's an honor for you to collect donations, how dare you refuse to pay!"

A priest of the Temple of the Gods cursed with a gloomy expression, while several tall and well-armed church knights broke into the door and forcibly plundered property from the houses of the people.

"Master Priest, Lord Knight, if we take away all our money, how will we live!"

The looted people clinging to their valuables and crying, were kicked several meters away by the cold-faced church knight.

Facing the looting of the temples of the gods, most of the people did not dare to resist at all. At most, they just hugged the thighs of the church knights and cried. Even if someone resisted, they would be beaten by the church knights immediately.

The scene was a mess, at least dozens of people had been ransacked, and there were huge crowds of people around, all of whom were resentful but did not dare to stop them.

The magistrates and city guards of the capital had also arrived at the scene, witnessing everything blankly.

This is a world with the supremacy of theocracy. In the face of the overlord church power of the Temple of the Gods, even the native churches of the Silver Moon Kingdom are a little weak, let alone ordinary soldiers and sheriffs like them. The priests, maybe even they will be suppressed on the spot.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The imperial guards came in a hurry and pushed the crowd away roughly. The beautifully decorated royal carriage caught everyone's eyes and filled their eyes with anticipation.

Although these aristocratic lords are usually not considered good people, at least they can do superficial skills, and they can still survive with a little effort.

And the current looting of the temples of the gods, oh no, it is to contribute the gospel to the gods of mankind, and it really does not leave them a chance to survive!

In the face of the tyrannical Temple of the Gods, these ordinary people dare not resist, but the king should be able to stop the atrocities of the Temple of the Gods, right?

Noticing the arrival of King Yinyue, the priests and knights of the temples who were forcibly expropriating property also restrained a lot at this moment, staying where they were and watching the carriage quietly.

In the anticipation of everyone, Simon got off the carriage expressionlessly and walked towards the head priest: "I don't know what to call this lord?"

The priest at the head was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the Silver Moon King was quite interesting, and smiled: "I am the Cardinal of the Church of Power, Benigno Suazo, the Great Priest of the Temple of God."

The temple of the gods is a union of many churches of the human gods, and everyone in the temple of the gods is also a member of the major churches of mankind.

Simon pretended to be enlightened, and cupped his hands and said, "So it's the priests of the Temple of the Gods. Looking at your behavior just now, I thought it was a robber from somewhere. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Benigno's face suddenly turned cold. Fortunately, he thought just now that the Silver Moon King was quite interesting, but he didn't expect that it was just to ridicule them. To build a temple and bless the people of the Silver Moon Kingdom, Your Majesty is not going to disobey the will of the gods!"

As a member of the Temple of the Gods, whenever there is trouble, it is right to blame the human gods.

As a human, whoever does not obey the will of the human gods is a heretic and will be judged, even the king is no exception!

Simon, who is familiar with the history of Blue Star, of course knows what kind of trick this is, so he sneered: "I am also a human being, and of course I dare not disobey the will of the human gods, but what is the will of the human gods? Make it clear!"

Benigno raised his head and chest high and proudly, "Of course we want us to build a temple in the Silver Moon Kingdom to bless the people of the Silver Moon Kingdom."

Simon asked: "You are sure of the will of the gods, and this is the only sentence?"

Benigno didn't understand why, and frowned: "That's natural, the status of the gods is respected, and it is a great honor to the Silver Moon Kingdom to be able to issue a decree."

"That is to say!" Seeing that he was playing tricks, Simon immediately answered: "The human gods only expressed their goals, but they didn't say what means to use to achieve this goal!"

Benigno faintly felt something was wrong, and threatened with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, don't make trouble here, or are you really going to defy the will of the gods for these lowly people!"

Simon sneered: "Really? Guards, take these people down!"

"Yes!" Although a little confused, the Imperial Guard faithfully followed the king's order. The knight drew out his long sword, and the guard aimed his spear at Benigno and his party.

The public widened their eyes and prepared to watch the show. The sheriff and the city guard felt a little tingling in their hearts. Many of them were also from common people. Although the king really made them feel good for the common people, but The heresy trial in the temple, that's no joke!

Facing the swords of the imperial guards, the expressions of more than a dozen church knights in the temples of the gods changed suddenly, and they also drew their long swords one after another, guarding the priest.

Benigno looked at Simon with a frosty face: "It seems that His Majesty is really going to disobey the will of the gods."

"No no no!"

Simon stretched out his index finger and waved it back and forth, and said with a half-smile:

"You also said just now that the will of the gods is for you to build a temple in the Silver Moon Kingdom, instead of forcibly looting the people's property.

In other words, the will of the gods is for you to forcibly expropriate the property of the people.

If so, please speak out loudly so that the people of Silvermoon Kingdom can hear that the human gods have sent people to plunder their property! "

At this time, the crowd watching also understood the king's plan, and shouted with rosy faces: "Yes, if this is the will of the gods, then say it loudly so that we can all hear it!"

Looking at the excited crowd, Benigno's heart suddenly sank. He was actually tricked by the Silver Moon King with his words...

The human gods wanted him to build a temple in the Silver Moon Kingdom, just to compete with the Moonlight Goddess for faith.

If it is admitted that the forcible expropriation of the people's property is the will of the human gods, then you are still fighting for the faith of the fart, just go back home and farm the land.

After all, it is impossible for the people to believe in a group of robbers.

But if he admits that the forced expropriation of people's property is not the will of the human gods... then he has to bear the responsibility himself!

Benigno looked at Simon with an embarrassed expression. Before he came, the Archbishop of the Temple of the Gods told him that King Silver Moon was difficult to deal with. He didn't think so at the time, but now it seems that it is true.

"This is not the will of the gods."

After a long silence, Benigno still decided to take this responsibility himself. He believed that, as the great priest of the pantheon, Simon would not dare to do anything to him even if he bore some guilt.

But once the blame is placed on the human gods and the layout of the human gods is destroyed, then his end will definitely be worse than death!

Simon smiled sarcastically: "According to the kingdom's law, those who loot the people are considered robbers. Come and arrest these robbers!"

The imperial guards looked at the sheriffs present in unison. Even if those sheriffs were reluctant, they could only step forward and prepare to arrest them.

How could the domineering and domineering knights of the Temple of God stand this kind of humiliation? The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, ready to kill him directly.

But Benigno stopped them with a look. If they really did it, the Silver Moon King would at least charge them with another crime of assassinating the king.

Of course, the most important thing is that the glory of knights is nothing, and the lives of these priests are more precious than this **** of knight glory!

Amidst the cheers of the people, the magistrate stepped forward to arrest Benigno and his party, and the Praetorian Guards formed a human wall to stop the people who wanted to see the king.

Simon smiled and greeted the people who rushed over, but the smile on his face disappeared immediately after getting into the carriage.

He knew very well that this was just the first wave of temptation for the Temple of the Gods to invade the Silver Moon Kingdom, and he was able to solve this matter only because the Temple of the Gods hadn't done it yet.

For Silvermoon Kingdom and Moonlight Church, the situation is still not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the priests and knights of these temples?"

The chief of security in charge of this area came to Simon's carriage with a sad face, feeling that he was simply unlucky. How could this kind of **** happen in the area under his management~www.novelbuddy.com~Fighting gods, they little guys No matter what, the days to come will not be easy.

Simon replied with a gloomy expression: "Detain it at the public security station first, and let the Temple of the Gods take money to redeem it."

Just as Benigno guessed, it was impossible for him to severely punish the priests and knights of these temples, because the rules of this world are like this. Nobles and clergymen can use gold coins to atone for crimes.

Breaking the rules hastily will only give the temples a reason to attack.

"Yes." The Chief of Security still looked sad and nodded.

When Simon saw the sheriff with a sad face, he felt even more upset, and he scolded: "Look at your virtue, if you don't want to be the sheriff, you don't have to. Since I ordered this matter, if the temples retaliate, why don't I still do it?" Will you sit idly by?"

He knew very well that if this kind of little person who was affected by the fight of the gods was retaliated by the temples of the gods, but he, the king, sat back and watched, the people's hearts would be dissipated immediately.

The sheriff was overjoyed immediately: "Really?"

Simon was so angry that he ordered his attendants with a bad face: "Take care of these sheriffs and their families. If you are retaliated by the Temple of the Gods, tell me immediately."

After finishing speaking, Simon closed the car window without listening to the sheriff's thanks. He has had enough troubles recently, and now he just wants to be quiet for a while.

At this moment, the attendant driving the carriage asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?"

Simon opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, and replied after a moment of silence: "No, go to the Moonlight Cathedral!"

In matters of faith, he had to seek help from professionals. He had to discuss with the Moonlight Church on how to deal with the invasion of faith from the temples and...the malice from the empire.
