Chapter 435: Holy City of Light

Remember in a second【】

Kevin leaned his head out of the car window, and saw the towering bell tower of the holy capital at first glance, which was breathtaking.

He originally thought that the clock tower of the Gabela Imperial Capital was the tallest in the world, but only now did he realize that he was wrong.

After traveling for more than half a month, Bachelor Aldrich, Mond, and Kevin, who were the envoys of Gabela, finally arrived at the residence of the Holy See—the Holy City of Light.

In Kevin's view, this is a big city no less than the capital of Gabela. It has not yet entered the formal urban area. The pilgrims who came all the way, many of them are pious, even kowtow towards the direction of the holy capital every few steps, even if their foreheads are already bleeding, they can't stop them from doing this.

He even saw alien faces among the pilgrims who were obviously not human. The influence of the belief in the Lord of Light is really strong enough.

"It's really hard to understand those fanatics."

He shook his head, turned back to the car and sat down.

"Hmph, there are still many strange scenes you will see in the holy capital, but there is one thing to pay attention to."

Mond reminded Kevin with a smile.

"Don't try to debate theological issues with natives."

"What?" Kevin became nervous, "Will he be burned as a heretic?"

"Haha, that's not the case. The Holy See is not that overbearing. What I mean is that everyone living in this city is a theological teacher, and debating theological issues with them will only bring shame on oneself."

"Even if it's a beggar on the side of the road." Mentor Aldridge, who had been silent all this time, suddenly muttered, looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that he recalled some bad memories.

Kevin asked in surprise: "In such a bustling city, are there still beggars?"

Mond shrugged, "The bigger the city, the bigger the dark side, and in order to attract believers, the Holy See often conducts charity activities. Many beggars live well because of this, which also attracts more beggars."

The three teachers and students chatted all the way into the holy capital, and went straight to the post house specially for foreign envoys to settle down.

When he entered the door, Kevin found a large group of people gathered in a small square not far away. There was a lot of voices, and they seemed to be arguing about something.

"What are they doing?" he asked the receptionist at the posthouse.

The receptionist glanced at the small square, and said with no surprise, "Probably a reasonable person is dating someone else again."

"About... a date?" Kevin was a little confused.

"Yes, sensible people like to fight with others because of some weird issues, such as whether the heavenly father created man or woman first, and whether the earth is round or flat."

Understanding, Kevin knew about it when he was studying in the Scholar's Tower. This is a very special faction in the Church of the Lord of Light. Their purpose is to continuously study the nature of nature to get closer to the gods. The old impression of the Church of the Lord of Light being closed and conservative has weakened a little, of course only a little.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do now, let's go take a look?"

Mond pats Kevin.

"OK!"

The two walked side by side to the small square.

As they approached, the sound of debate became clearer.

"As we all know, the ship on a long voyage first exposes the top of the mast, then slowly reveals the hull, and finally the entire ship can be seen. This phenomenon can only be explained by the fact that the earth is round. Also, whenever a lunar eclipse, the moon on the moon shadow…"

"Absurd, it's simply absurd. If the earth is round, why don't the objects on it slide around and fall into the void?"

"I admit that our current knowledge is not enough to explain your doubts, but we cannot deny the facts we have observed based on this."

"Your so-called 'facts' are pure conjectures, unreasonable conjectures."

"You... how dare you slander our great discovery."

"I'm clearly explaining the facts, don't talk nonsense in a sacred place like the holy capital, it's a blasphemy."

"You are blasphemy, and your whole family is blaspheming."

"Heretic! Heretic!"

"You are the heretic!"

As the debate progressed, the words of the two sides became more and more out of line, and eventually the verbal refusal turned into a physical conflict.

I don't know who made the first move, and a grand martial arts parade was staged.

Kevin and Mond stood in the distance and watched the fun.

Soon, a group of Holy See knights in armor came, holding big sticks and forcibly separated the two groups of people. Since there were too many people and they couldn't find who took the lead, the captain of the knights had no choice but to reprimand them severely.

Frightened by the big stick in the knight's hand, the two groups lowered their heads and did not speak, leaving only the eyes of each other to continue their confrontation in the air.

The knight captain finished his reprimand, and the scene was silent for a while. He was about to disperse the crowd when a voice suddenly sounded.

"Actually, you don't need to rush to argue now. If it takes three to five years at most, or one or two years at least, this question will be answered."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man walking slowly, followed by a guy with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"What did you say, young man?"

Kevin cleared his throat, and said loudly to everyone: "As far as I know, someone in Aldo Kingdom has already started to verify this problem with practical actions. He sent three fleets, and one of them sailed westward into the endless ocean. , a branch starts sailing east along the coastline of the mainland, if the earth is round

^0^Remember in one second【】

Yes, then these two fleets will circle back to Aldo. If the land is flat, then they will find the legendary ends of the earth, and then this question will be answered. "

"Go around? Go around?"

Even the Conscientious believers who insisted on the theory of a round earth were shocked. Although they believed that the earth was round, they subconsciously believed that the continent under their feet was at the top of the sphere.

Someone asked: "Excuse me, what is the identity of this person you are talking about?"

Kevin replied: "Earl Paul Greiman, he is a lord in the northwest corner of the Kingdom of Aldo."

Hearing Kevin's answer, there was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

"What audacity to do something we've always wanted to do but couldn't."

"Hey... If I was also a super rich lord, I would have started it myself. How could it be his turn?"

"Don't be delusional, what kind of ship can withstand deep-sea navigation? I think this Earl Greyman must have mastered some new navigation technology."

"Is it witchcraft?"

"Hush!"

Taking advantage of the time when the law enforcement knights were also attracted by Kevin's words The discussion returned to the initial quarrel.

"Listen up, people over there. When the results come out in a few years, it will still be in this square. The wrong side will apologize and the right side will apologize obediently. How about it, do you dare to agree?"

"Why don't you dare? Anyone who doesn't come is a heretic."

"Hmph! You wait!"

"You wait."

Driven by the law enforcement knights, the two sides of the debate finally dispersed.

Leaving Kevin and Mond sweating coldly in place.

Are these people really priests under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy See?
