Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 399 Who is the mole?

Church teachings? Saint's power? How can these things be compared? Liu Yonglu had no idea.

But today, the conversation has come to this point. If he doesn't follow the path that others have drawn, he will be in trouble. The situation that he just reversed with great difficulty will be in vain. Therefore, Liu Yonglu must agree:
"Okay, go back and wait for the news. Isn't it the Saint's teaching not to beat people? We have the tricks. As for the Saint's great power..."

Liu Yonglu raised his hand, but there was no response for a long time.

Liu Yonglu turned his head and glanced at Haverson and Jacob. You two are really blind. If only Kogan was here, it would be better. Liu Yonglu could only reach into his pocket, take out a cigarette and light it up:
"Huh... the Saint's power is beyond doubt."

The bearded man in front of him lowered his head and said nothing, because he couldn't understand what Saint Balan was saying... He just felt that this man was weird.

Is he really a saint? Or... a psychopath?

"So you... agreed."

"Yes, I agree. It's not Candlemas. Let your judge wait."

"Of course, of course. Since Your Excellency has agreed to the request for a doctrinal debate on Candlemas, then..."

The bearded man took out a folded document from his arms. This was also the document that the bishop had given him before. If the second trap worked, he would let the fake saint sign it.

"What the hell... Rice grains, rice grains!"

At that time, all the important religious documents were written in ancient Rashi script, which Liu Yonglu did not recognize at all! But he still pretended to read it from beginning to end.

Millie Tang came over and rolled her eyes at Liu Yonglu. Others didn't understand Liu Yonglu, so she didn't know him either! This guy couldn't understand it at all, but she had to pretend that Liu Yonglu could understand it, and she was just giving advice, and explained to Liu Yonglu in various ways:

“The Sahagunites are quite arrogant. They think they have not misinterpreted the teachings of the Saint and that the reason why there is so much suffering in the world is because of the Holy See.

What they converted to and worshipped was not the true God. The Saint had been assimilated by the corruption and decay of the Holy See. Only by returning to the embrace of the Virgin Mary can the world return to its original appearance. "

"What nonsense! I don't even want to argue with him about this, huh..."

Liu Yonglu blew out all the smoke on the bearded man's face, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his toes.

Seeing Liu Yonglu's behavior, the bearded man was choked. He thought to himself, what kind of behavior is Saint Balan? How can such a person be a saint?
"The leader of the Sahagun sect said that on Candlemas we should debate the Canon of the Virgin with the saints, that is, you. He has thirty-six interpretations of the Canon of the Virgin."

"I know seventy-two!"

Liu Yonglu lit another one.

"The lost fables of the sect are known to the people by their own accord, and they can read seventy copies."

"Seventy books? A tome of fables... I can never finish reading them!"

"Well, I know you can do it..."

Millie Tang fanned away the smoke with her hand in annoyance and handed the document back to the bearded man. She was not going to let Liu Yonglu sign it!

In mysticism, a person's name is very powerful. Even though this guy is probably using a pseudonym, we can't just let him sign casually. What if he's hiding some forbidden magic?

Liu Yonglu and Mili Tang have a tacit understanding that no matter who harms them, Mili'er can't harm them:

"No need to sign. I am a saint. How can I give you my calligraphy so easily? If you really want to challenge me to a duel, let's high-five to swear an oath!"

The bearded man thought about it and realized that the bishop had given him the document so that the fake saint could decide on the debate. Now that so many people were watching, he couldn't go back on his word and just high-five.

He raised his arm with difficulty and touched hands with Liu Yonglu three times.

After clapping his hands, the bearded man was happy. Although he had not completed the task of rescuing Alpia and damaging the reputation of the Holy See today, at least he had accomplished the Candlemas matter.

Before coming, the bishop made it clear that the day of Candlemas was the time for the uprising. Why did he invite the saints to gamble on the teachings of the saint? It was not to determine who was superior or inferior, but mainly to gather the believers in the Holy See.

According to custom, on the day of Candlemas, the clergy in Victoria will be divided into two parts. One part of the believers will give alms to the poor in Piedmont, where the Holy See is located, to demonstrate the compassion of the saint.

The remaining half of the believers would gather in the big chapel in front of the Gate of No Source to pray and hold mass. The Sahagunites and Saint Balaam made a bet in order to bring back the half of the people who went out to give alms so that they could be caught in one fell swoop.

Of course, in the eyes of the bishop, this saint is also a fake. If it comes to a debate on doctrine or a battle of power, he is definitely no match for him.

"Then... I have nothing more to say. Since I have disrupted the Holy Decision Parade today, I am ready to bear the consequences. You can just..."

"Okay, okay, don't play tricks on me. If you want to throw a tantrum, cry and pretend to be poor, go somewhere else.

Didn't you just make a bet with me? Then why don't you go back and deliver the letter quickly? Or are there any of your followers among the people watching the fun?"

Liu Yonglu did not give the bearded man any chance. He pointed his finger behind him, and the crowd quickly retreated like the tide, fearing that this saint would kill a few more people with the half-opened pot lid.

"well……"

Seeing that Liu Yonglu was not fooled, the bearded man could only stammer twice and frowned as he prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

"Didn't you just let me go?"

Hearing Liu Yonglu calling him, the bearded man turned around with a smile on his face, ready to be beaten.

"You are so badly injured, take a few steps and don't get yourself killed.

Good fellow, you're going to blackmail me then, how about this, I'll find someone to treat you and send you back."

Liu Yonglu is such a thief. Since you have come to destroy my place today, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life:
"Hey, Mi Li'er, please take a look."

Liu Yonglu was quite good at making arrangements. He asked Millie Tang to do some things to the bearded man quietly so that he could follow the clues. This was not the first time they had done such an immoral thing. Millie Tang immediately came over to "cure the disease".

The bearded man frowned and thought about it, but couldn't find an excuse to refuse, so Liu Yonglu had to go. This once-in-a-century holy trial ended with the Sahagun faction openly confronting each other, Saint Barlaan publicly parading around, and the person on trial being killed on the spot by the saint's holy relics.

……

The Holy See, in Kosander's study.

Archbishop Kosander has been feeling a little uneasy lately, a feeling he hasn't had for a long time since he took over as archbishop 25 years ago.

Maybe it was because of his old age. He used to be so energetic and quick-witted. He was the leader among the shepherds in the secular world. With just one order from him, the war could be quelled and those high and mighty kings would bow their heads in obedience.

But now...

Sitting at the desk, Kosander felt that he could hardly open his eyelids. He could not fall asleep but could not resist the fatigue that surged like a tide. He often lay in bed with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling until dawn.

"Ring ring ring."

The phone next to him finally rang. The reason why Kosander stayed by the phone today was to wait for Bill's reply.

Bill should have called last night, but for some reason he called a whole day late.

"The mercy of the Saint shines upon the earth, Archbishop Kosander, the Holy Decision Parade has come to an end.

Sorry, the situation in Lombardy is a bit complicated. Jacob and I spent a whole day to deal with it. "

Kosander's wrinkled face relaxed a little, but he frowned again after hearing Bill's next words.

"Tell me quickly, Bill, what's the problem? Is Saint Barlaan dissatisfied with our Holy See? Or is Saint Barlaan... cough cough cough..."

His old illness came back again. In recent years, whenever Kosander became emotionally excited, he could not help coughing violently. He had consulted the doctors in the Holy See many times, but the cause could never be found.

“Sir Kosander, please take care of yourself. Sir Saint Baran is safe and has no complaints. It should be said that Jacob and I almost messed up today.

It was only thanks to His Excellency Saint Barlaan that the Holy See was saved.”

Bill's voice on the other end of the line was filled with shame.

"Speak slowly, child. Speak slowly. What happened to Alpia during the trial?"

"He was killed by Saint Barlan with the half-opened pot lid that the Saint herself had given him..."

Kosander's cloudy old eyes showed an incredible light. What did it mean? Saint Barlan personally took action? Wouldn't his identity be exposed?
A half-opened pot lid bestowed by the saint herself...what kind of holy object is this?
"Tell me everything from the beginning, word for word."

"Yes, Master Kosander."

As Bill spoke, Kosander clenched his fists. Although the parties involved are often confused, the bystanders can see things clearly. Kosander understood the Sahagun faction's conspiracy after just hearing half of the story.

This group of guys... I used to regard them as ordinary heretics who distorted the doctrine, but I didn't expect that these guys would dare to openly declare war on the Holy See!

If it weren't for the fact that Candlemas Day was approaching and it was not the critical moment when the saints were touring the world, he would definitely issue an excommunication order and call on the saints in Victoria... no, in the Western Continent to launch a holy war.

"What happened next...what happened next?"

Archbishop Kosander was calm at first, but after hearing what happened later he could not help himself and urged in a stronger tone.

If the situation in Lombardy gets out of control, he plans to contact the Victorian royal family immediately, and even if he has to use force, he will impose martial law in Lombardy temporarily and not let the situation continue to deteriorate.

"Later, His Excellency Saint Baran took action..."

In fact, Bill had no idea how Saint Barlaan used the holy objects to kill Alpia and catch the Sahagunite traitor, but the saint was the patron saint of the saint and was almost omniscient. Bill just told the whole story in a normal tone:

"Mr. Kosander, that's basically what happened. I'm sorry that our Inquisition has failed to live up to the expectations of the Holy See and failed to protect the identity of Saint Barlan. Now the Saint's Tour has caused a stir in Lombardy, and it won't be long before the whole of Velásquez knows about it.

Moreover... Saint Barlaan also agreed to a debate with the Sahagunites."

"kindness."

Kosander didn't say anything for a long time. With things developing to this point, it was already very difficult for His Excellency Saint Baran to step forward and minimize the impact.

Just disclose your identity in advance. It's just the icing on the cake, no need to be overly concerned about it.

As for the Candlemas debate... that's a bit strange. It's a bit unusual for the Sahagun sect to dare to make such a request when they know that the other party is the patron saint.

On the other end of the phone, Bill lowered his voice and reminded:

“Mr. Kosander, I think the Sahagun faction is so confident in proposing to come to the Holy See for a debate. The whole thing may not be as simple as it seems.

The other party is either sure of victory or has other plans, and the debate is just a cover.

It is also very suspicious to choose the Holy See as the location. It is the promised land of our Saints. If they dare to come, they may be inside the Holy See..."

Bill's words were the conclusion he reached after discussing with Jacob and other judges. Although they were somewhat outrageous, the matter was urgent and he felt that he needed to remind Archbishop Kosander.

There might be a spy inside the Holy See!

How could Kosander, who had been a cardinal for decades, not have thought of this? He had thought of this possibility just now when Bill was recounting the parade.

The leader of Sahagun is probably hiding in the Holy See. Considering the intelligence they have and the request for a debate, the level of this insider is probably not low.

But... who is it...
