One thousand two hundred and ninety-five: royal power, imperial power, divine power...
At that time, in order to maintain the dignity of the divine power, the Holy See will naturally not sit still and wait for death. There must be priorities between imperial power and divine power.
The war of faith is always cruel.
Mission: Subversion of theocracy (1)
Divine power and royal power must always be prioritized.
Since there is no royal power, then establish a royal power!
Perhaps, this is the beginning of the fall of divine power...

"Pfft"
Yan Wang blew out a smoke ring: "Perhaps you will conduct political exchanges when the time comes? But with me here... I'm afraid this possibility will not happen."
Thor, who escaped from the City of Hope, slowly unfolded the parchment in a certain room under the dim light. It was a map.
It is very messy with various symbols and small notes written on it.
He frowned, opened the letter, and read word by word.
"Imperial power (royal power) versus divine authority?" Thor realized something, his eyes flashing: "Yan Wang is right, royal authority is the only way to fight against divine authority."
Inexplicably, some hope arose in his heart.
…
Bang!
The sound of the door opening.
Yan Wan raised his head when he heard the sound, only to see Reina walking in angrily. He then saw her raising the muzzle of her gun and pressing it against Yan Wan's forehead.
"Is something wrong?" He straightened up and ignored the cold feeling between his eyebrows. His expression was very calm, as if he had anticipated her arrival.
Rena rubbed her silver teeth and said coldly: "What do you think?"
"Coffee or tea?" Yan Wan held a cigarette in his mouth, turned away the gun, and wanted to go to the cupboard to get something.
"Why?" Lena asked.
Yan Wan's expression did not change at all, and he raised his eyebrows helplessly: "Your father should have explained this problem to you. Do you think I am the reason?"
"...I..." Reina's shining eyes darkened a bit.
Who is to blame?
Linda? Or another warlock?
Yan Wan squeezed out a sarcastic smile: "Actually, you look a little impatient, but you are not stupid at all. You actually know that... warlocks have abilities that make it impossible to live in harmony with ordinary people."
Reina put down the gun and sat silently on the sofa. My eyes are red, and I feel a little sad...
The bottom line of human beings is like the mythical Pandora's box.
Once opened, endless desires will burst out.
Just like the real world where Yan Wan lives, there are only zero and countless times of women's clothing.
After hunting down a large number of warlocks and receiving countless rich rewards, these ordinary exorcists finally unleashed the demons in their hearts.
Using various excuses and reasons, in the name of hunting down the warlock, they began to turn their attention to people who had been involved with the warlock.
They selectively forgot that many warlocks actually had nothing to do with demons in terms of their abilities. Thor, for example, has used the Holy See's magical scrolls more than once.
All because of greed.
As we all know, warlocks have always been rich. Not only are they rich, but they also have various alchemical tools made with special abilities. These things are all good treasures that cannot be bought.
Just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion that broke out in ancient times in the East.
Fortunately, this increasingly crazy trend was finally suppressed temporarily by Stephen using his powerful strength as a deterrent.
But this time, Stephen is undoubtedly on the opposite side of all exorcists again.
As the saying goes, the situation forces me to wear the yellow robe. At this point, some things are no longer within Stephen's control.
The exorcist temporarily stopped, but it didn't last long.
A battle breaks out between Yan Wan and a certain exorcist.
The reason...is ridiculous.
The reason was that the exorcist felt that because Yan Wan was so young and so powerful in combat, he might also have demon blood in his body.
There is no doubt about the result.
The exorcist died, not only him, but also his accomplices, his family, and even the hound he raised did not survive the next day.
Executed all over the house.
Before Stephen issued the approval the next day, Yan Wan threw away the exorcism badge, accepted Matthew's invitation, joined the Holy See and became the leader of the Knights Templar.
After this major change, the Exorcist Guild's strength has been greatly weakened.
The Holy See is not as equal as before, and its methods of action have gradually become more radical. Yan Wan, who was recruited from the Exorcist Guild, was naturally regarded as a benchmark and role model.
Not only did his salary rise directly to the same level as that of a bishop, his power was even more terrifying.
What the Knights Templar have to do is to clear all obstacles for the Holy See. As the leader of this force, Yan Wang's power can be imagined.
On this day, in front of the headquarters of the Holy See in the City of Hope.
Under the watchful eyes of countless believers and hundreds of knights and nuns.
The pope raised his scepter, tapped Yan Wan's shoulder, picked up the armor from the saint's hand, put it on Yan Wan's body, and said loudly: "Welcome to join, knight of God."
"It's an honor, Your Majesty the Pope." Yan Wan leaned over slightly and lowered his head to show respect.
Not far away, at the entrance of the Exorcist Guild, Rena and other senior exorcists looked at this scene with complicated expressions, feeling a little uncomfortable.
They understand that by doing this, the Holy See is demonstrating against the exorcist unions and sending a signal to certain exorcists: Come join the Holy See, you will get five social insurances and one housing fund, food and accommodation are included, distribution is included, there is a year-end bonus, and a house is provided. Start.
That's probably what happened.
Someone lowered his head, covering up the fleeting jealousy in the corner of his eyes, and cursed angrily: "Damn it, this guy is cheating."
"Exorcists are very free. Yan Wan just found a better job this time." Reina closed her eyes and was silent for a few seconds before turning and returning to the headquarters.
Perhaps, the friendship between her and Yan Wan will be completely severed from today on.
…
A few months later.
Matthew waited for the bishop and sat at the round table with the pope. Find the book garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com Listening quietly to Yan Wan's words...
Yan Wan said in a deep voice: "Everything seems to be going well now, but what I'm worried about is where are the two missing keys to the gate of hell.
If it is still in the hands of the demon warlock, disaster may happen sooner or later. Because their plan was exposed and they are now hostile to everyone, they may be desperate and go to a dead end with us. "
Matthew glanced at him: "For example?"
"Open...the gates of hell."
Yan Wan opened a book in his hand and pointed to the lines marked on it. “I always thought that the door to hell can only be opened by gathering three keys together.
But what is written above is a bit beyond my expectation. Maybe there is someone among the demon sorcerers who has this kind of power. Although the possibility is low, we cannot bear the consequences. "
The Pope picked up the book, paused at the marked words and sentences, and asked slowly: "So, what are you going to do?"
