Chapter 2377 Benedict III’s calculations, Douglass’ faith was shaken

In the Holy City of Reims, in the Great Hall of Light, Benedict III ascended to the throne of Pope, which calmed the hearts of the people and gave all members of the College of Cardinals confidence and support.

Melmoth then remembered something and asked Benedict III for instructions.

"His Majesty the Pope, Grand Duke Violet and Count Vincent have disappeared. What should we do with the Violet Family and the Vincent Family?"

When Benedict III heard this, his expression was solemn. He recalled in his mind the Ivan Vincent who resisted the divine art alone, and sighed with some inexplicable horror.

"Ivan Vincent, who could have imagined that an epic knight who has been living in Alto would actually be a great arcanist? It's really unbelievable!"

These words made all the cardinals nod their heads. It was indeed true. None of them thought that Ivan Vincent would be the well-hidden great arcanist.

Benedict III sighed, weighed the current situation, and needed to consider the impact of the matter. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still said.

"Ivan Vincent and Natasha's personal actions only involve Count Vincent and Grand Duke Violet. Don't touch their family!"

"Choose one of the collateral members of the family to inherit the title. For the current plan, the most important thing is to appease people's hearts and maintain stability. We can wait for other things to be discussed later!"

Melmoth nodded when he heard this, drew a cross on his chest, and said respectfully.

"I obey your will!"

Melmoth also strongly agrees with this opinion. The Violet family and the Vincent family are known as the shield of truth and the shield of guardianship. If they are dealt with rashly and they are deemed to have abandoned the Church of Truth, this will definitely have a certain range.

It caused panic among the nobles and was not conducive to consolidating the faith of the southern church, so it was most appropriate to retain these two families.

In the following time, Benedict III began to arrange various tasks and adjust the church's defense focus. Orders were issued one after another, and cardinals rushed to various places. Due to the loss of the area across the Storm Strait, the Southern Church lost four legends and three missing people.

The dangerous situation caused by the Holy Spirit and the betrayal of the seven epic knights gradually stabilized. The Dark Council once again missed the opportunity to take a bite out of the church due to internal wrangling.

With the three legends relying on the Northern Fortress and the Alto Defense Formation, although the dragon Danisos of the Dark Council is the pinnacle of legends, he cannot quickly win victory by himself, and there are also contradictions and disagreements within the dragon clan.

, and many of them are in alien spaces or sleeping, and Dracula, the Grand Duke of the Blood Race, discovered traces of a werewolf prince and hunted him down, without having time to care about the church's affairs. No wonder the Dark Council has so many legends.

The powerful ones are still ranked fourth in the mainland. They are too loose, full of internal conflicts, have no cohesion, and are scattered.

It is not surprising that if it were not for the pressure from the Southern Church, they would most likely break out into fierce internal fighting and disband.

After Ines and the other two Holy Spirit priests returned to Reims, and the Angel of Wisdom Terrence defected to the Northern Church, the aftermath of the Magic Council's Great Fireball Plan seemed to have gradually subsided. The Southern Church relied on a godlike god, two legendary pinnacles, and three

The strength of the third-level saints, fifteen legends and thirteen epic knights from various countries still maintains the position of the strongest force, but the gap with the Northern Church and the Magic Council has narrowed a lot.

After finishing the trivial matters, Benedict III returned to the study of the previous popes, waved several cardinals to go out, and sat quietly on the armchair, looking at the newly added portrait with an inexplicable expression.

Words.

"Benedict II, 602-824 Sacred Calendar".

Legendary powerhouses have a lifespan of at least five hundred years, but no church clergy has ever lived that long. At most, they can only live for about three hundred years. That can only be achieved by the pope in the god-like realm.

, other Holy Spirit pastors have shorter life spans, only about two hundred years, which is obviously abnormal.

Magicians are different. They have mysterious and strange methods. They can perform magic rituals and extend their lifespan to five to six thousand years. Coupled with various resurrection methods, they are extremely difficult to kill. This is why the Magic Council is under heavy pressure from the church.

One of the important reasons why it can still maintain vigorous development.

Suddenly, Benedict III's face turned pale again, his left and right hands were shaking uncontrollably, and his breath dropped sharply, from the level of a god to the first level of the Holy Spirit, and then slowly climbed back to the level of a god. After several times,

, his breath gradually stabilized, but his hair seemed to be much grayer again, his eyes were older and turbid, and the expression on his face was unpredictable. He seemed to feel something, sighed, and said in a complicated tone.

“The grace of God is too much to bear!”

Benedict III sat quietly in the study, thinking for a long time, and then his eyes became firm again. He stood up and walked to the important file cabinet protected by the magic circle. He found the column named Douglas, pulled out a lot of files from it, and again

Read on.

"The target didn't seem to object to my speech."

"He often has moments when he is emotionally confused!"

"Perhaps the theory has never been confirmed and he is a little shaken because he can't find the sun."

Benedict III looked at these documents, and then took out the latest progress report on arcane theory from the column of the Magic Council. Looking at the description of the special theory of relativity, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered:

"Although Altiel is no longer by his side to inspire him, it can be seen that his sports system has encountered big problems. Maybe he has been confused for more time than before. Maybe it's time to find an opportunity to talk to him!"

In the demiplane, the real secret realm, Douglas received a report from the tower spirit, saying that Franks, the member of the affairs committee and the nine-ring magician, came to visit.

Franks was an ancient magician who had followed Douglas to establish the Magic Council. He had a good relationship with Douglas, so Douglas asked the tower spirit to check and let him in.

In the small living room, Douglas saw Franks.

Because Franks failed to be promoted to legend, many magic rituals that can extend his life for more than five hundred years cannot be used. He is already quite old, with sparse and pale hair, skin full of wrinkles, and extremely eye-catching age spots, but his blue eyes

His eyes are as deep as the sea, as if they contain wisdom accumulated over countless years.

"Franks, why are you here free? Are you planning to hold a lich transformation ceremony?"

Douglas asked casually, as a member of the Affairs Committee, Franks should indeed be too busy to see anyone when the war has just been decided and everything is waiting to be done.

Franks shook his head and denied it. He had great resistance to transforming into undead creatures such as lich, so he spoke.

"To become a lich, you have to give up many of the enjoyments and feelings of being a human being, and may even be invaded by negative energy and become extreme and crazy. It is really not a good choice. I am still undecided. I plan to wait and see if there is any more.

Opportunity to understand the world is semi-solidified.”

"You have a good idea. The development speed of arcana and magic in the past ten years has been so fast that it scares me. Maybe it won't be long before a new arcane theory or new achievement is proposed for you, so that you can put forward your accumulated experience over the years.

Transformed into a semi-solid foundation for understanding the world.”

Douglas nodded lightly and agreed with Franks's choice. Especially recently, a lot of Ivan Vinson's research theories have been published, which have subverted many previous discoveries. Although it has shocked some conservative magicians' cognitive world and exploded.

He died, but it also allowed many magicians to advance in level and improve their strength a lot. This is one of the reasons why the Magic Council is willing to accept Ivan Vincent, because he can bring more promotion channels to arcane magic and enrich the current society.

The arcane magic field allows magicians to see a more real world and a broader starry sky.

When Franks heard what Douglas said, a wry smile appeared on his face and he said with some fear.

"Your Excellency, Speaker, it is indeed very likely that there will be new arcane theories or new achievements that suit my current bottleneck soon, but they are also more likely to blow my head off, especially Mr. Ivan Vincent, the head-exploding demon.

, every time he publishes a new research paper, I am always frightened and dare not read his paper, but I can't restrain my curiosity. Sooner or later, I will die under his paper!"

Douglas smiled and shook his head. Knowing that Ivan Vincent was already notorious among magicians, he felt a little amused. In fact, he sometimes looked forward to and feared Ivan Vincent's research theories.

Said with a smile.

"The progress brought by His Excellency Ivan Vinson has not yet been fully demonstrated. Maybe in three years, maybe five years, or ten years, you will be able to see the value of each new theory he proposed."

Franks showed a look of disappointment, as if he was disappointed with his arcane talent, and sighed.

"Maybe, like "On the Electrodynamics and Mass-Energy Equations of Moving Objects"?"

Douglas's smile gradually disappeared, and he said with a sense of sadness. He was also a little hard to accept the paper presented by Ivan Vinson, and he finally adjusted his understanding.

"right."

When Franks saw this, a smile appeared deep in his eyes, staring at Douglas's expression, he continued.

"When I saw this paper, I had a feeling that my confidence was completely destroyed, as if the cognitive world would collapse at any time. This was not because I was shocked by the genius of His Excellency Ivan Vinson, but because I doubted my self-understanding.

Doubts about the arcane systems of past centuries."

"Sir Douglas, I have followed you since the late Dawn War, step by step to establish the Parliament from the oppression of the church and the sway of the nobles. Your theory of gravity and your system of motion have guided me to transform my thoughts into Austrian

It was a lighthouse of artistic spirit, but now, one of the two lighthouses was suddenly declared to be a mistake and collapsed. I really don’t know what to believe anymore. I am like a ship in the storm, my eyes have become dark, and I can no longer find it.

direction."

Douglas's voice also became deeper, and there was a trace of disappointment on his wise face, but he still spoke firmly.

"It's not an error, but a low-speed approximation of the relativistic system."

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became very strange. There seemed to be an unspeakable silence and depression, which made the two old men lose their vitality.

Franks looked at Douglas sincerely and said.

"Your Excellency, Speaker of the Parliament, the low-speed approximation actually means that your motion system ignores too many things and has too big errors. It can only be applied in such a macroscopic state. Moreover, time is space, and space is time. Time

It depends on matter and is a function of speed. Don’t you think it completely subverts our understanding?”

"This is indeed different from intuitive understanding. It's hard to imagine. When I first saw it, I felt as if my life of the past thousands of years had been completely denied."

Douglas admitted this fact quite frankly. He has always had this attitude towards arcane research issues, seeking truth from facts, and would never let his personal emotions and feelings affect the Grand Arcanist's calmness and cognition.

Franks looked heavy, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and said feebly.

"Perhaps our past research was still very superficial, still on the surface of the world, and not close to the reality at all. That's why this situation occurred. Maybe we are very far away from the reality of the world. Maybe when we are really close to the reality, we will

To find that it is very different from what we now think and insist on, and maybe even what we are opposed to."

"Indeed, the more I delve deeper into the arcane arts, the more I discover my ignorance, whether it is about time, space, matter, energy, or gravity, which I am best at."

Douglas's deep eyes also showed confusion. He has persisted for too long, and so far some of his research theories have not been confirmed. So far, he has not found the position of the sun. He once wanted to ask Ivan Wen.

Sen asked for the geographical coordinates of the sun, but for some unknown reason, Ivan Vincent did not agree. It seemed that he had some scruples, which gave him a very bad premonition.

Franks let out a breath, relaxed his body slightly, felt a hint of joy in his heart, and continued to speak to Douglas.

"The reality of the world is beginning to exceed our imagination. There are more and more questions that we cannot answer. More and more things are pointing to the same thing. What is the nature of gravity? How did it first appear? If your
