The Holy Spirit Kingdom, commonly referred to as a kingdom, is naturally ruled by a "king" or "royal family." It is actually a type of aristocracy, but at the highest level. Within this country, there is also a special presence, and that is the Church. The Church does not have the power to govern the country, and its power is not absolute. It cannot compete with the royal family. However, compared to ordinary nobles and people, the Church undoubtedly holds special significance.
The Church achieves numerous military achievements each year, with their main opponents being not other countries or invaders, but warlocks. The Church's battles against warlocks range from a vast quantity of small creatures that pose a threat to civilian safety to enormous creatures of Holy Rank strength. In addition to this, the Church also provides medical treatment for many patients, using the faith in the Light and magic of the Church to heal injuries and ailments.
By doing all of this, the Church gains the admiration of the people and a unique status. Even ordinary bishops or priests can possess some powerful backing, and ordinary nobles dare not provoke the Church. However, what puzzled Luo Wei the most was that a Church with such immense power, representing justice and light, would not heal the Saintess who fought for the Church year after year. Alia only needed Holy Water. Even if Holy Water was precious, without it, she would die. What were those beasts within the Church thinking? Today, Luo Wei was determined to find out and even steal the Holy Water if necessary.
The nearest location to Luo Wei was the Church's second branch, which is also known as the second cathedral. It seemed that news of Luo Wei's visit had already spread within the Church, so when Luo Wei arrived with Alia, they were welcomed with open arms. Luo Wei didn't think much about it and was about to walk in, but Alia stopped him. They looked at each other, and Alia bit her lip. She understood that if they stepped inside, Luo Wei would be at odds with the Church, which was definitely not a good thing for someone like Luo Wei, who just wanted to have fun and rejuvenate the Aisin Gioro family.
"Let's go inside," Luo Wei smiled.
"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of idiots. Have you heard of Lü Bu defeating the three heroes? Today, Luo Wei will take on the idiots," Luo Wei reassured Alia, then walked in on his own.
Alia watched Luo Wei's confident appearance and somehow couldn't stop him. Alia's feeling of stepping into the Church was different from before. Previously, she would feel a sense of holiness and righteousness, but now she just felt silly for working for this disguised exploitative capitalist for so long. Plus, the salary was low.
Luo Wei and Alia walked through the corridor, step by step towards the center of the church. The door behind them was already closed, and there were several people in white with gold-trimmed clothes around them.
These people were priests or nuns. They were not just capable of reciting a few spells; they had actual combat skills. In this era of magic, there was no future for pure support roles.
"Viscount Luo Wei, Lady Saintess, we've been waiting for you," said a middle-aged man who was neither fat nor thin, standing there waiting for Luo Wei.
His attire was different from the others, as he wore a red robe. This was clothing normally worn by only the archbishop in the Church. However, Luo Wei really disliked this kind of class-based hierarchy.
"Who are you?" asked Luo Wei.
"I am the archbishop of the second cathedral."
"Archbishop? You don't even have a name. That's really pathetic."Luo Wei couldn't help but pity him.
Is it really because the author is too lazy to come up with names? It must be, right? Definitely!
Not only that, he even self-deprecatingly adds filler words!
"You know my name, which means you did your research beforehand, right?"
"It's all God's will..."
"Screw your god's will. I don't believe in God."
Luo Wei didn't want to hear any brainwashing words from the other party, so he interrupted directly. After all, it was just investigation, wasn't it?
Does God have nothing better to do? Why would he use a telescope to spy on what I want to do?
Luo Wei was clearly here to stir up trouble. You see, it's like saying you don't believe in religion in a missionary place, just like asking God to bless you not to get blown up in a scientist's laboratory experiment.
In Guangdong, you would definitely be sent to the pig trough for this.
"Viscount Luo Wei, this is a holy place. Please behave yourself and don't use foul language."
The Archbishop's mouth twitched as well; he felt incredibly annoyed, but as the Archbishop, he couldn't retort, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Screw behaving myself. Cut the crap and give me the Holy Water."
"..."
Luo Wei's direct and aggressive manner caught the Archbishop off guard.
