Chapter 599: Faith struggle

"I came from the oracle of the true god, believer, are you going to disobey the order?" St. George raised his head and looked at the two Holy See knights.
I saw that his left face was covered with pits and scars, and even his lips were missing a piece, exposing the roots of the teeth inside. It was particularly shocking when set against the normal right face.
But compared to his gaze, this half-angel and half-devil face was nothing.
Saint George's eyes radiated holy rays, and the two holy knights shrouded in them felt countless holy music ringing in their ears, and a magnificent figure that could not be described in words appeared behind each other.
The two papal knights knelt down in front of Saint George involuntarily.
"Very well, my children, you are all the most pious believers." St. George was not happy or sad, and praised lightly, and passed the two Holy See knights and stood in front of the gate of the oracle hall.
The door full of mysterious basic runes, felt the arrival of St. George, released a soft light, and photographed his body without hiding, as if to reflect his true inner thoughts.
"Eye of the true god?!" A trace of expression finally appeared on St. George's face, but it was absolutely nothing to do with respect, and even with a little disdain and coldness. "It's just a gimmick, the use of low-end energy can't be called. It's supernatural power, open it!"
Saint George gave a low voice, and a more holy light surged around his body, rushing to the large gate of the oracle hall.
boom!
The huge door of the oracle hall seemed to be bombarded by a tangible force, and it opened with a loud noise.
Pope Delt, who was dealing with academic affairs in front of the book case, was obviously taken aback.
However, the old man, who had been in a high position for many years, responded by holding the scepter beside him and sitting upright.
Compared to the last time we met, Pope Delt appears to be older, with thinner hair and thicker age spots on his face. Because of the loose skin, his cheeks are beginning to droop, making him look a little puffy.
In the past two years only, twenty years have been revealed to him.
This is the inherent characteristics of the champion knights and master warlocks after they have entered the aging period. The time stagnant on them can be retrieved in a very short time.
"St. George, what do you want to do?" Pope Delt's eyebrows flashed unpleasantly. No matter how good-tempered people are, they will get angry if they are rushed in, let alone the pope who has been in a high position for many years. In my impression, such a bad thing has never happened.
"Naturally to meet you, my dear Pope, if I don’t come to see you, I’m afraid you won’t call me again until you die." Although St. George used respectful words from beginning to end, he said In the words, there is no sense of respect at all.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Bishop Saint George, what do you want to do? You dare to trespass into the oracle hall."
"Come here, take this madman who dared to break into your Majesty's room for me."
Before Pope Delt could reply, a team of Vatican knights arrived, one by one frightened and angry.
Even if Pope Delt was not harmed in any way, it was still a negligence for them.
"Go down, I believe that Bishop St. George will not do anything unusual." Pope Delter waved his hand and drove out the knights of the Holy See.
"Your Majesty..." The Holy See knight headed by him couldn't help but yelled.
"Get out!" Pope Delt's voice was raised several decibels, and the anger inside became more obvious.
"Obviously!" The Vatican knights waved their hands reluctantly and took their subordinates to retreat, but they didn't go far. They all guarded the outside of the oracle hall. Once there is any abnormality inside, they will be the first time. Rush in and take St. George on the spot.
boom!
The gate of the oracle hall closed again under the impetus of an invisible force.
Pope Delt was silent for a few seconds, and took the initiative to speak: "I know that I owe you to the decision I made recently, but all my decisions have no selfish desires at all. They are for the future of the Holy See. The Pope is not just the Holy See. The person in power is also the face of the Holy See..."
"What a face of the Holy See." St. George interrupted Pope Delt's defense with a laugh, and suddenly tore off his ascetic monk's uniform, revealing a more terrifying burning scar on his body, "You want to take care of everything. The face of the Holy See, before this, did not want to think about how my injury came from? You promised me personally that after the black powder was researched out, you would support me to take over as the pope. Now I have made the black powder for you. Just because of the so-called face, you want to obliterate all my achievements, the pain of burning flames is far less painful than the knife you pierced in my heart."
The research on explosives such as black powder has always been a high-risk industry.
Obviously, the Holy See of Saint Ether paid a heavy price for this kind of research. I believe this is not the end, but just the beginning.
"No one can deny the efforts the bishop has made for the Holy See. You are just not suitable to come to the front. So I suggest that you add a seat to the Archbishop. You will be in charge of the Sword of Holy Ether and part of the Knights of the Holy See..."
"Enough! Enough! I've had enough of your hypocrisy." St. George interrupted Pope Delt again impatiently, and said with a sneer, "You think I'm here today, like a downfall. Are you begging for a bone to eat like a wild dog? I now have a better choice. I don’t regret what I have done or experienced before, because death gives me the opportunity to listen to the oracle of the true God, the true God Encyclical."
"The real oracle?" Not only did Pope Delt show no excitement and joy, but frowned even more. "I'm afraid what you are hearing is not an oracle, but a personal imagination! Don't impose your subjective consciousness on the true god. This is a kind of blasphemy. If you dare to make similar remarks, I will put you in the penance room forever and reflect on your sins."
"Haha, as the Pope of the Holy See, the person who once issued the oracle of Liangdao suspected the existence of the real oracle?" Saint George laughed louder and louder. "You said the oracle I heard was a personal guess. How can you prove that the oracle you issued is not using the name of the true to exercise the power that belongs to the true god?"
"You are so courageous, do you know what you are doing?" Pope Delt, who was still able to control his emotions even after being forced into his residence by St. George, could no longer restrain his anger and stood up suddenly. He got up, weighed the scepter in his hand, and yelled angrily, "His Excellency St. George, is your faith shaken? Are you beginning to question the true existence of the God of Truth? Or are you questioning my authority? Ready to shake the Holy See The ruling foundation?"
The moment Pope Delt stood up, a deep breath surged over him.
Especially the scepter in his hand, exuding a milky white holy light, enveloped his entire body.
Time flows back in him at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a dozen seconds, Pope Delt changed from an old man about to become a middle-aged man in his forties and fifty years old. Just staring at St. George, he has an aura of no anger. .
If Pope Delt showed this hand in front of ordinary Vatican believers, I'm afraid everyone would kneel on the ground, shouting miracles.
Can make a person rejuvenate, except for the true god, who has this ability.
But this hand is obviously not useful in front of St. George.
To be more precise, St. George seemed to have known that Pope Delter had this hand, and did not show much surprise. Only when his gaze swept over the scepter in Pope Delter’s hand, there was a trace that could not be concealed. Greed.
Oracle scepter.
The God of Truth gave him the gift of the most devout and faithful in the world.
It is said that this scepter has been blessed by the God of Truth. It possesses the precious power of the True God. It can do a lot of magical things. It is only a trivial thing to make a person rejuvenate.
This kind of rejuvenation is probably temporary. Otherwise, Pope Delter would have used him to rule the Holy See forever. Why plan for the change of the Holy See.
Is it possible that he has really lived enough, and is ready to return to the embrace of the true god?
Saint George didn't believe it anyway, especially after he almost died once.
He would rather struggle, crawling out of the explosion and the sea of ​​fire, enduring the pain of extensive burns and festering of the skin, living a life of languishing, unwilling to be called by the true God, besides his unwillingness and attachment, but also because he had a momentary Faith is shaken, and I wonder if after death, I can really be blessed by the God of Truth, be led by the messenger of the True God, lead the kingdom of God, witness the face of the True God, and listen to the teachings of the True God.
After all, this kind of thing only exists in word of mouth, and no one has really confirmed it.
This vacillation only lasted until he really heard the voice of the true and felt the power of the true god.
At that moment, in addition to the ecstasy, there was endless self-blame, self-blaming that I had shaken everything I believed.
It's a pity that that kind of communication was too short-lived. After that, St. George tried all the methods but couldn't hear the voice of the true again, even if he put himself on the edge of death again.
Had it not been for the power bestowed by the true to roll in his body, he might have questioned himself on the brink of death and had auditory hallucinations, as Pope Delter said.
With the passage of time, feeling the uniqueness of the power bestowed by the true God, St. George not only no longer questioned this point, but became firmer in everything he heard and felt, and looked forward to another exchange with the true God.
If you can hold the oracle scepter, you will be able to obtain a complete oracle of the God of Truth.
Because the oracle scepter has another function, that is, the person who holds it can more easily hear the teachings of the of truth, and even actively communicate with the of truth.
"Answer my question." Pope Delt paused again for the oracle scepter, and the anger in his expression became stronger.
St. George's various abnormal performances made him feel a little uneasy.
As the core of the ruling cardinal, once there is a wave of faith, it is definitely a major event for the Holy See, and it can even have a severe impact and shock on their rule and pattern.
Pope Delter, who has ruled the Holy See of Saint Ether for a whole century, is very clear that the greatest enemy of faith does not come from outside.
External pressure and enemies will only make them more united and stronger.
The greatest enemy of faith is always self, from within them.
Once the belief is shaken, they will deny everything they believed in in the past, and many people even go to the other extreme.
Such people are not uncommon for Pope Delt. These people are another main target of the Sword of Holy Ether.
It’s just that in the past, this situation mainly occurred among low-level believers, and the impact and impact it could cause was quite limited.
The most serious situation that Pope Delt has ever experienced was the wave of faith that appeared by Darnell, the former regiment of the Sword of Holy Ether.
Because his belief was shaken, the group of Saint Ether Sword members he brought out with his own hands could not be trusted, but they were the backbone of the Saint Ether Sword.
In recent decades, the witch secret society has become extremely active, even in some places opposing the sword of the holy ether, this is the reason.
However, Darnell's belief was shaken, only for the justice of the secret war with the witch secret society, and then questioned the current behavior of the Holy See, the Holy See itself, and has nothing to do with the belief in the of truth.
The wavering of faith shown by St. George is a sign of directly denying the God of Truth and thus denying the necessity of the existence of the Holy See.
The harm caused by this wave of faith can be far greater than that of Darnell, especially during this critical period of power change.
Saint George's influence in the Holy See is not low, otherwise he can't become a strong contender for the next pope, isn't he?
If this is the case for the other party, for the long-term stability of the Holy See, even if it is owed to St. George in the heart, harsh methods must be used.
"Doubt the God of Truth?" St. George sneered and shook his head. "No, I don't doubt the God of Truth. I doubt you, my honorable Majesty. I doubt if you really hear the voice of the true God. Believe in the existence of the true God. In your body, I only saw a person who exercised human rights in the name of a god, and did not really put the needs of the true God first. If it comes to blasphemy, your Majesty is far away from me. Above, because you have desecrated for a whole hundred years."
"Damn!" The anger in Pope Delt's heart is already gushing out, "How dare you have such a rebellious idea? Successive popes are the closest people to the true god, and all the oracles are derived from the true god, every The edicts are all for the long-term stability of the Holy See and for the development and growth of the Holy See. This is a fact that cannot be denied and cannot be questioned by anyone."
"For the long-term stability of the Holy See? For the development and growth of the Holy See? This is the will of the true God in your understanding?" The mockery on St. George's face has become more intense~EbookFREE.me~ In the final analysis, you are just a layman, unable to To understand the true thoughts of the great existence of the true God, it is no wonder that you cannot get the true blessings of the true God. It is time to set things right. Honorable Majesty, since you have served the true God for so many years, I will give you another chance to choose. , As long as you hand over the oracle scepter to my hand in accordance with our initial agreement, I will allow you to die..."
"Why? Are you still thinking about forcibly snatching from my hand?" Pope Delter's face was about to drip, and his rejuvenation gave him not only a strong body, but also a strong, incomparably cold voice." Saint George, I haven't seen you in a few days. You are really good at it. Just relying on what you just said, you don't want to sit on the pope in your life. I'm not dead yet!"
"Whether I can sit on the seat of the Pope or not is not your final say. It has never been, but depends on the will of the true God." St. George is also winning the game.
"Come here, arrest this desecrator for me." Pope Delt ordered loudly.
Having said that, he has no need to continue to save face for Saint George.
The knights of the Holy See who were waiting outside the door, and only needed Pope Delt's order, would swarm in, but did not show up.
