Make your face white with moonlight [Quick Transmigration]

When Ludwig carefully prepared various medicinal materials and prepared to help Collins purify his blood and refine his keel, the atmosphere in the secret underground palace of the Phoenix Association was solemn.

"...Recently, in the imperial capital, especially in the area where the Central Holy See is located, the number of people who intend to join has decreased by about [-]% compared to the previous natural month, and the number of junior followers has dropped by nearly [-]%..."

"It's all that damn Son." A man in a black robe with a hood covering his face cursed in a hoarse voice.

Aldea looked at his hooked nose with the tattered hood exposed and reflected on the wall by the dim candlelight, and moved uncomfortably.

The atmosphere of the dark Holy See made him, a prince who grew up in the Grand Duchy, extremely uncomfortable.

The people here are often untidy, lack etiquette, and go out in the market. In order to conceal their identities as members of the Dark Holy See, they have hidden for many years, or even generations, among poor peasants and unscrupulous gangsters, so as to avoid the investigation of the Bright Holy See who is better than a dog's nose. .

If the shabbiness and poverty made him feel some sympathy, then the extremes of these people and their habit of darkness made Aldea even more disgusted.

He sometimes wonders if it is possible to separate Claude from these virtuous people, but the next moment he can't help but blame himself - the reason why he is deeply attracted to Claude is not because the other party is so virtuous. Will kindness pity the filthiest poor?

He listened in silence.

Listening to the people of the Dark Holy See talking, they slowly began to curse the Bright Holy See and Ludwig—it has to be said that the curse of the Bright Holy See is a must-have item in their meetings, often occupying more than one third of the meeting. much time.

Aldia gradually became unbearable.

Those people were not just cursing, but slowly began to diverge, speculating about Ludwig and other clergy in the most vicious and vulgar language—for example, the Holy Son with such an outstanding appearance, the reason why they became the Holy Son , Have you ever been severely "loved" by the white-haired old pope?Is it wrapped under their holy robes a body that has been tossed between the beds of various bishops?

"enough!"

He finally couldn't keep silent and couldn't help interrupting loudly.

"These malicious speculations are meaningless to you, and full of prejudice! Although the Holy See is corrupt, there are always pure and good people! How can Ludwig clean up those villains and unintentionally hinder your development? , and use such vicious words to impose on him?"

The noise in the underground palace stopped.

But Aldea felt malicious and suspicious eyes.

"God of the Darkness." Mackay, the Dark Consul of the Dark Holy See, said lightly, "When will non-Holy See personnel be able to participate in our gatherings and talk nonsense in the meeting?"

"Okay, McKay, I brought him." Claude made a relief, but felt uncomfortable for a while.

Aldia actually spoke for Ludwig?

He thought that the other party was completely on his side now!

"My lord son." McKay smiled at Claude who was sitting at the top, "I shouldn't have any doubts about your resolution, but please don't forget that this person and the Holy See of Light The Holy Son grew up together and tried to join the Holy See of Light. Such a person is a great threat to us pious believers who can only hide our names."

"What do you mean? Do you think I will inform you and expose you?" Aldia couldn't believe it, "I have deceived Ludwig for Claude! I am the heir to the Principality of Bigland, but now I risk The danger of being burned at the stake is sitting among you, and you are still questioning me?!"

He thought he was wronged, but he didn't know the hidden arrogance in his words, which offended these dark believers more thoroughly.

A big bearded man muttered ugly slang and put the wine bottle in his hand heavily on the table.

"'You'." McKay repeated a word, his smile slowly widening, but showing a murderous look, "From the beginning to the end, this heir to the Principality of Bigland did not feel that he and us dark believers were the same. All the way."

He turned to Claude: "Dear Your Royal Highness, you are the last descendant of the Dark God and the future hope of the Holy See. You should be surrounded by the most devout believers and the most sincere friends, not vacillating cowards and A nobleman with a different heart."

Claude grimaced.

He admits that a part of his heart has been shaken.He couldn't help doubting Aldia's feelings for him-this should not have been questioned originally, as Aldia said, he, the son of a grand duke, sacrificed a good life and a bright future for himself. Do you still need to doubt your mind?

But when Aldia said these words himself, he felt uncomfortable.

—Are Aldia regretting it?

Regret for what he gave up, for deceiving Ludwig?That's why I never forget it.

And just like McKay said, he has never been integrated into the Dark Holy See, and has always looked at all this with a scrutinizing and critical eye!

If it was the original world line, because Ludwig seriously injured Claude, Aldia poured all his hatred on the Holy See of Light and Ludwig, and naturally stood with the angry Holy See of Darkness.

However, now, he still has positive feelings for his former best friend, admirer, and the Holy See, which he once yearned for, which has led to the current disagreement.

Claude finally ended the meeting early, and when he returned to the room, he had a big fight with Aldia, asking him if he had nostalgia for Ludwig.

Aldia was very aggrieved, saying that Ludwig and his long-time friends did not do bad things, but that it was a good thing to rectify the greedy clergy and villains, and he had no problem arguing for Ludwig.

"You still like him, don't you?"

Claude pressed unwillingly.

"he is my friend!"

Claude sneered: "I'm not blind! Do you remember how many times you said this name to me? Friend? You also said that when you were young, you wanted to enter the Holy See of Light with him!"

"You also said that you were a child." Aldia felt extremely tired. "I grew up with an orthodox education, so I naturally yearned for the Holy See. Why do you always dwell on the past and never forget it?"

"It's not me that can't be forgotten, it's you." Claude sat down on the bed, "You frequently spoke for Ludwig, mentioned your identity as the son of the Grand Duke, and refused to blend in here..."

"That's because the reason I stay here is you! Not the Holy See!" Aldia finally roared, "I can't stand them always speculating about everything in the world with the most vicious and dark thoughts, I can't stand them Malice against all nobles, priests, and even all happy people! They turned their misfortune into anger and abyss against innocent people. They should—and said—try to save more ordinary people, but in the other side When you don't believe them, you speak the most vicious words!"

He stopped and shook his head painfully.

"I love you, Claude. But I can't love all this with my love for you."

He left the room, leaving Claude sitting there alone in a daze.

There is a faint crack between the protagonist's attack and receiving, but Ludwig, who unintentionally contributed to all this, is not having a good time on his side.

He cleaned up the low-level clergy and gangsters who were bullying others very smoothly. There was a Houlier in the middle, but after solving it, there was no more trouble.

Yet as Cardinal Hayman warned at the time.These people may not look down upon, but the branches and vines have formed an astonishing network of relationships, so when two natural months passed, Ludwig was actually called by the Pope.

This is really unusual.

The Holy Son has a very high status in the Holy See. Normally, the Holy Son will become the seven cardinals when the next pope is in office. Now, the original quasi-pope Felix has died, and one of the seven will be elected to replace him. Felix.

But even so, they are not worth mentioning to the Pope.

——Because the current pope has never paid much attention to the affairs of the church, he is only busy with cultivation and enjoyment.This has never been a secret among the top.

And Ludwig even knew a little better through the system:

This era is called the twilight of the gods because the gods have all disappeared since the war of gods 2000 years ago.The system told Ludwig that in the final encirclement and suppression of the Dark God, the Dark God saw that he was about to be forced to death, so he blew himself up and died with the Light God, while the Dragon God and Elf God fell into a deep sleep with serious injuries.Also because of God's Fall, the mainland consumed most of the magic elements, which made it impossible for anyone to become a Dharma Saint in the past 2000 years.

And these are unknown to others.

In the past few years, the Pope has been doing nothing more and more, focusing on figuring out how to be promoted to a saint of law, or even become a god.But this process requires a lot of money and treasures, so the Holy See is becoming more and more corrupt.

"Holy Son Ludwig."

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope." Ludwig put his right hand on his chest and bowed.

The pope sitting on the gorgeous throne lowered his eyes, looking at him as if tired and impatient: "Do you know why I summoned you?"

"I don't know, please give me your Majesty's instructions."

"You acted recklessly and indiscriminately punished the believers sheltered by the Holy See, so that the believers reduced their piety to the Holy See..."

In a long series of high-profile words, Ludwig captured the essence: his previous behavior of "sweeping-black-eliminating-evil" caused dissatisfaction among many nobles and rich people, and the wealth that the Holy See gained this natural month decreased.

Of course, he didn't have the ability to reduce the tax received by the Holy See to alarm the Pope by himself, but the problem was that one of the scumbag nobles he had dealt with before came from a family that specially provided the Pope with bright cross grass.This rare treasure is said to have the effect of increasing a person's chances of becoming a saint. The pope needs to consume ten plants every month to practice.

And in this natural month, the other party offered only eight plants—the reason is that "the gardener who is best at cultivating bright cross grass fell ill because his innocent and poor son was inexplicably judged by the Holy Son, resulting in a reduction in production."

It's an excuse that's hardly off-putting.

But the pope can ignore everything, but he must not tolerate the slightest damage to his own interests.

So no matter how Ludwig explained it, it was useless.No matter how innocent he is, if he causes the Pope to suffer, there is no reason to justify him.

"...Now, it's almost time for the martial law to be lifted." The Pope finally ordered slowly without raising his eyelids, "Go back to the Principality of Bigan and spread the gospel of God."

This precludes him from being a candidate for the next Pope.

"Yes."

Ludwig saluted respectfully and exited the Pope's complicated and gorgeous room.

"Ah, I'm so mad." Before Ludwig did anything, the system in his mind had already yelled, "Unreasonable! Corrupt! Overwhelm people with power!"

"I've been taught, dimensionality reduction strikes can still be played like this." Ludwig sighed, and laughed at himself, "I'm pretty good too. In the original world line, the Pope didn't appear until the end. Previously, the Phoenix Association— —Later, the Phoenix rebels tossed around and didn't care about it. As soon as I got out, such a great god who didn't care about everything was provoked by me?"

"What do you do now?"

"Go back to Bigland." Ludwig smiled, "I suddenly agree with the protagonist. It's such a corrupt church, you tried so hard to revive it, but it's basically brain dead Now, what can you do with your limbs?"

"...Host, aren't you going to give up the mission?"

"How?" Ludwig snorted softly, "The mission is to stop the Church of Darkness, change the Holy See of Light as much as possible, and spread the light." He paused, smiling a little too brightly: "Who Does the Holy See of Light refer to the Holy See of Light now? Don’t you think so?”

The system shuddered.

Although the host is very talkative, it just doesn't know why it is often scared.
