Translator: TransN Editor: TransN
Since there were still soin of the Battle of Divine Will in his story He briefed the old man only on the part of the history of how the witch empire of old had transformed into the church
Despite the fact that Roland had only briefly mentioned bits and pieces of the story that he knew, Jacob was still shocked when he realized just how much Roland already knows about huhly confidential information just slipped out of Roland's ot so large that they looked like a pair of lanterns Every time the old man wanted to refute what Roland had said, his words would end up being caught on his lips A lot of what Roland said was beyond his understanding, yet it all fit perfectly with the rumors that went around within the church
Roland paused as he saw the old priest gasping for breath He didn't stop talking because he had nothing else to say, but out of concern for the old guy who looked like he would pass out any second now Of course, Roland didn't really care if the old man were to pass out; he just wanted to enjoy the face-s soht his breath "It looks like you were never told about the inner workings of the church Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so shaken by these trivial facts You can't beratenonsense even if you want to because you can't help but find what I said just now similar to the clues you have found out yourself in the past I believe that all the knowledge of the deeneration after generation by the popes, to keep the goal or should I say, the faith, unforgotten However, the current fools who call themselves the successor of the church have a fear of witches that runs so deep, that they dare not reveal the truth of the past Not to mention the will of the first Pope You people proclai for humanity, yet how many believers in the entire Holy City of Hermes are even aware of the existence of the des are run in Graycastle Information about the Battle of Divine Will is no secret in Neverwinter Everyand preparation for the upco Battle of Divine Will form one of Neverwinter's fundamental policies Be it far their best in contributing to the inevitable fight against evil That's the largest difference between us I've been preparing Graycastle to withstand the onslaught of our eneht apparent on the old man's face with joy before he continued, "Do you still think that the church is the one and only savior of huhly of yourselves? Even if we set aside the fact of whether or not I will be able to co is still for certain—"
He walked over to the old priest and spelled out his next words slowly, "How can the church hope to save the world when they can't even defeat !"
"We" Roland's words had caused Jacob's face to turn pale as if the last sentence had pierced through his heart Jacob had indeed questioned the church's strength in his mind before, but he had always kept his doubts hidden Now that the truth was brutally shoved in front of his face, he had lost even the last bits of his re determination
The old priest then felt strength leave his legs and he collapsed on to the floor, and the dignified look deserving of a respectful figure that he initially displayed quickly disappeared froeons," Roland ordered, waving one hand "He is too old to work in the mines Keep him alive until the Bloody Moon coainst the demons I hope by then he would still remember how to repent to God"
"Yes, Your Majesty" The soldiers pulled Jacob up and carried him away by his arms
Roland turned to look at Isabella and said, "Well done Without you, ouldn't have restored order in the Holy City in such a short ti unlike her usual self, looked away frohtly shaky voice, "Is this really okay? Do you really want ive the orders as the Pope's representative and gather those ere abandoned?"
He had received reports frole Face, and Isabella herself, and understood their proposal to rewrite history to split up the church once and for all The Pearl of the Northern Region had praised thisthat it would help Graycastle conquer both the old and the new Holy City and take over all the influence that the church had accumulated over the centuries Even if the scattered believers soanization, they would look like illegitiues in comparison to Roland who had actual control over Hermes
Roland, on the other hand, looked at this move in a more practical way Located in thebreach, this piece of plateau would be a major choke point for them to defend in the Battle of Divine Will Roland had intended to take over the place since the day he planned to ar on Hermes Now that they could utilize the local workforce and resources to their advantage and cut down expenditures for Neverwinter, Roland didn't see why they shouldn't go ahead with the plan
"What would I have to mind if what you did turns out to be effective?" Roland said, s "However, your sentence still stands"
"I never had that kind of intention" Isabella said hurriedly
"But of course, I can't leave you unrewarded for your help either" Roland waved his hands and said, "If there's ever a day when you're required to intervene as a representative, then in that day you shall be treated properly, in a way that is befitting of a representative What do you think?"
