13. Victims of imperial and religious power

"Thank you for doing so much for me." Sean put on a grateful expression and said to Bishop Benjamin: "But I am just an ordinary lord. Why do you spend so much money to cure me quickly?"

Bishop Benjamin smiled and shook his head, and asked without answering: "Your teacher is the Paladin Rhys Field (Field) of the Royal Capital Palomia Cathedral, right?"

Speaking of Reese Tianye, Sean still had a bit of an impression.

The predecessor learned the "chivalry" thing from him, and then left the royal capital after quarreling with Archduke Ryan.

To put it this way, without this knight Reese (sounds a bit like John Doe), Sean would not have left the royal capital, would not have been attacked by bandits, and would not have had the chance to travel to this world.

"Yes, my teacher is the Paladin of Reese, and I am very 'thank you' to him!" Sean added an accent to the word "thank you".

Bishop Benjamin did not understand the meaning of Sean's words and said with a smile: "The reason why I wanted to cure you quickly actually goes back to a few years ago.

About six or seven years ago, several bishops from the Principality of Lane, including myself, had a discussion in Palomia Cathedral.

According to the prophecy of the God of Light, we believe that you are the incarnation of the God of Light in the Principality of Lane, the ‘holy son’ of the church.

After getting the approval of Archduke Lane, we will let the Paladin of Reese be your teacher to guide you in your practice. This is why I will spare no effort to treat you after you are seriously injured."

"Son?"

Bishop Benjamin's words were really unbelievable, which made Sean not know what to say for a while.

According to his understanding, the Son's status in the Holy Light Church is extraordinary, only below that of the Saint.

However, there is only one saint in the church, but there are more than a dozen saints... emmmm

The Son's status in the church is very high, even to a certain extent, much higher than the Bishop Benjamin in front of him.

However, the Son of God is only an honorary title and has no actual power. Just like the earls in the city of Yohn who have no territory, they still have to be humble when they see the earl of the river.

...

"Yes, you should be the Holy Son." Bishop Benjamin added: "Originally, we wanted to train you with all our strength and let you ascend to the position of Grand Duke, so that the church can better benefit the people of the Principality.

But not long ago, the Paladin of Lys was suddenly arrested by the Grand Duke's personal guards. The reason was that he was having an affair with the wife of a nobleman for adultery. Your Highness, Sean, was also forced to leave the royal capital. Our plan fell short.

"

"Oh, that's it." Sean had a realization in his mind, and a puzzle that had been bothering him for a long time finally had an answer.

In the past two days, Sean has been thinking about a question, that is, why did Archduke Lane send Sean to the Hetan Town on the border to become a lord?

After all, he is his own son. If he disobeys, he can be beaten. If you throw a 16-year-old child into a remote place like this, there is a high chance that he will be played to death by the old lords here.

Now he finally understands that Sean became a victim of the fight between the Holy Light Church and Archduke Ryan, and died young at the age of 16. How pitiful it was!

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

...

Bishop Benjamin saw Sean shaking his head and consoled him: "Although the Grand Duke sent you to Hetan Town to be the lord, our Holy Light Church will not give up our Holy Son easily.

We will send priests and paladins into your territory to provide treatment to the local residents, and also protect the security of your territory."

"Really? Can these priests and paladins set off with me?" Sean's eyes lit up.

Regardless of what the Holy Light Church has in mind by sending out priests (it probably doesn't have any purpose at all, it's just preaching at most), he still has to clear out the jackals in the territory. If there are a group of priests who are good at healing, it can also reduce a lot of the burden on the soldiers.

"Well... because I only recently learned that you arrived in Yoen City, and the personnel turnover is limited, I won't be able to come to your territory in the near future. It may take three months." Bishop Benjamin said a little embarrassed.

"That's it." Sean was very disappointed.

The territory is in need of manpower now and if you don't come, the territory will be almost rebuilt in three months, so what's the use of your coming?

"But don't worry, the God of Light will take care of every believer's territory." Bishop Benjamin waved his hand, and a power of holy light burst out from his fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, driven by the power of the Holy Light of Bishop Benjamin, a book on the bookshelf floated towards them.

"This is the most basic technique for Paladins and Priests to gain the power of faith through prayer." Bishop Benjamin handed the book to Sean, "You can teach this book to the children in the territory for free. If you have children

If you can master the content of the first chapter of this book within seven days, then he is qualified to become a candidate for a priest or a paladin. At that time, you can send them directly to John Cathedral, and I will teach them carefully.

Let them better serve the God of Light."

Sean took the book. The book was made of parchment. The title was very simple, called "Faith and Practice".

Sean forcibly resisted the urge to roll his eyes and replied in a very sincere tone: "Don't worry, Lord Bishop, I will definitely let the fire of the Holy Light burn throughout the entire territory."

.....

Next, Sean and Bishop Benjamin chatted for nearly half an hour.

During this half hour, Sean disguised himself as a devout believer and kept asking Bishop Benjamin various questions.

How great is the God of Light?

Where is the headquarters of Holy Light Church?

How much influence does the Church of Holy Light have on the entire world?

How else can the power of faith be improved besides praying?

Who is more powerful, Paladin or Magician?

...

Seeing Sean's "enthusiastic" eyes, Bishop Benjamin was very satisfied and gave him answers one by one.

The experience value increased very quickly. In this half hour, Sean's experience value increased to level 10 17/100, a full 11 points of experience increase!

If you keep asking questions at this pace, you will be able to reach level 11 within a few hours.

Sean wanted to continue asking, but at this time Pastor Joshua walked in and said there was something urgent. Sean reluctantly said goodbye to the experience package...wrong, to say goodbye to Bishop Benjamin.

"Master Bishop, please rest in peace and recover. I will take my leave first. I will let the light of the God of Light shine into every corner of the territory."

Bishop Benjamin glanced at Sean with satisfaction and said solemnly: "Goodbye, Your Highness Sean, may the Holy Light protect you."

...

After saying goodbye to Bishop Benjamin, Sean left John the Holy Light Church with his bodyguard John.

The harvest from this visit to the church was pretty good. I gained a lot of experience points. Moreover, through chatting with Bishop Benjamin, Sean became more wary of the Holy Light Church.

Although Archduke Lane won this fight between the church and Archduke Lane, and Sean became a victim and was sent to a border town, it does not mean that Archduke Lane won.

According to Bishop Benjamin's description, the Holy Light Church is one of the two largest churches on the continent, and its size is not comparable to that of the small Principality of Lane.

This failure can only be said to be the loss of the Holy Light Church's branch in the Principality of Lane, not the loss of the Holy Light Church.

After receiving the support from the headquarters, the Holy Light Church's next counterattack will be even more intense.

"A victim of the struggle between imperial power and religious power. Oh, my predecessor was really pitiful, but don't worry, since I have used your body, I will try my best to avenge you." Sean looked at the towering spire of the church, silently in his heart
