Chapter 391 The Lord of Justice and Glory
The traditional knightly beliefs of Donnar are different from the Pantheon beliefs of Sinnar.

The traditional belief in knights originated from the Donnar people's personal worship of legendary knights. It is a religious tool used by the Central Kingdom to strengthen its rule and unite mankind.

Humility, Honor, Sacrifice, Valor, Mercy
Every virtue in the traditional knightly faith originated from a real or fictional knight legend. Through these legends, the traditional knightly faith admonishes and restrains the knights of Donnar and reconciles the contradictions between the extraordinary and ordinary people.

Although ordinary people are still at a disadvantage, it is better than nothing.

As the first human belief developed in the barbaric era of Donnar, the traditional knight belief had a strong feudal feature from the beginning. It was a primitive polytheistic belief. Each knight kingdom developed independently and enjoyed a high degree of independence and autonomy.

In this case, the traditional chivalric beliefs of Donnar do not even have an agreed-upon official name, so people call it whatever they want.

Under this high degree of autonomy, the knightly beliefs of Donnar also vary due to regional divisions.

Although both believe in chivalry and advocate virtue, and both belong to polytheism and idolatry, there are different opinions about this idol.

The chivalrous virtues all originate from real or fictional knight legends, so there is debate about how many virtues there are, which knights they come from, and how the virtues should be ranked.

Amid constant quarrels, various schools of chivalrous beliefs were formed in different parts of Donnar, and their interpretations of virtue were also different.

However, despite the quarrels, there are a few virtues that are recognized by all the countries in Donnar, namely, the legendary knight virtues that are derived from real existence. In addition, since most of Donnar's legendary knights are active in the capital of the Central Kingdom, the capital of the Central Kingdom is also the most important and sacred holy place in the traditional knight's belief.

In the past, a large number of knights from Donnar would make pilgrimages to the capital every year.

In addition, unlike the Pantheon's zero-tolerance attitude towards heresy, although Donnar is noisy, it will not kill the other side. The main reason is that the knight's belief is still based on the advocacy of virtue. As for which knight is the source of virtue, most Donnar people don't care much.

This debate has never ended since the founding of the chivalric faith.

Until the current war council, along with the management regulations of the council's management department, the traditional knight faith of Donnar was split into two factions and six independent churches of knight faith.

The two factions are the idolatry faction, which is inclined towards idol worship, and the virtue faction, which is inclined towards virtue worship.

The former believes in one virtue and one idol, while the latter believes that virtue is more important and as for idols, believers can believe in whichever one they want.

To put it simply, the idol group believes that virtue comes from the chivalric legends they have identified and does not recognize other chivalric legends, while the virtue group believes that as long as virtue is advocated, they will absorb and utilize chivalric legends as long as they have value.

The Glorious Church before Julius belongs to the Virtue Church. Just like the name of the church, the Glorious Church mainly advocates the virtue of glory.

Originally, the glory promoted by the Church of Glory was the dueling culture of Donnar. However, in the face of the collective reflection of the people of Donnar on the dueling culture, the Church of Glory quickly weakened the part of the virtue of glory that was related to the dueling culture, and cleverly integrated the killing and revenge of the green-skinned orcs into the virtue.

It was precisely because of the immediate adjustment of direction that the Glory Church was able to maintain its size and become one of the independent churches of the War Council.

However, like the Glory Church, the War Council left some room for religious beliefs and allowed them to exist within the council.

However, since Roland was not very interested in religious beliefs, under Roland's influence, the management department also imposed very strict restrictions and controls on independent churches.

First of all, all members of the church need to register. All religious personnel need to register and record their movements. At the same time, the movement of religious personnel must be reported to the management department in advance.

Independent churches are prohibited from engaging in business, and church funds can only come from official grants.

In addition, any missionary activities are limited to church areas. Any missionary activities in non-church areas are prohibited, and all forced and brainwashing missionary activities are prohibited.

In addition, any religious activities involving more than three people in independent churches must be reported to the management department in advance, including but not limited to daily prayers, religious festivals, religious celebrations, etc.

After a series of moves by the management department, although the independent church of the War Committee is an independent church, it is basically firmly controlled by the committee.

In the War Council, the power of the Church has been shrinking continuously, and it has already completely lost the possibility of confronting the regime, let alone having a transcendent status like the Pantheon in the Silver Empire.

Therefore, although Julius was the Archon of the Administrative Department and the Management Department was under her jurisdiction, Julius did not care about the weak power of the Church.

Even if she would inspect Apocalypse in the past, she would not come to the church area. This was her first time here.

After entering the church of the Church of Glory, Julius also saw a bright and beautiful church. White stone pillars supported the church, and on the stone pillars, exquisite carvings covered the entire body of the stone pillars.

On the walls of the church, detailed statues of knights with blurred faces are placed on both sides, and carvings tell one knight legend after another. Under the carvings, there are simplified texts carved to describe the knight legends.

These carvings, statues, paintings, etc. were basically carved by the religious personnel of the church themselves.

After all, the funds allocated to them by the management department are limited. If they hire people to do the work, even if they spend all the money, it will not be enough, not to mention that they also want to save money for the development of the church.

Therefore, in order to save money, several independent churches basically choose to participate in the construction themselves to save labor costs.

Julius walked to a carving and looked up at the carving in front of him.

This is a story about a knight who, in order to fulfill a promise he made to others, traveled across most of Donnar, slew giant beasts, eliminated evil, experienced all kinds of difficulties along the way, and finally fulfilled his promise.

Looking at the carvings in front of her, Julius' childhood memories slowly emerged. She had heard this story from the monks in the monastery.

The monks said that this knight legend did have a prototype, but she didn't fall asleep before she finished listening to the whole story, so she didn't know who the prototype was now.

"Julius?"

Just as Julius was reminiscing about the past, a voice sounded from the side.

Hearing this familiar voice, Julius turned his head and saw a monk wearing the robes of the Church of Glory.

Julius blinked and spoke as he looked at the familiar yet strange person in front of him.

"Ms. Daphne, why are you here?"

Daphne, the monk who once led Julius and his party to escape to Old Kai, was a transcendent who had mastered the incomplete breathing technique. Before she fell ill, the group, including Julius, relied on her protection to escape safely to Old Kai.

After Roland cured her, she, as a first-level extraordinary person, did not join the army because she had to take care of her children, but chose to stay in Jiuqi.

As a first-class extraordinary being, her efficiency in dust collection was naturally not low. Therefore, she quickly stood out from countless dust collectors and became a high-level dust collector in the Old Qi period, supporting all of them by herself.

Even when Julius joined the administrative system, it was Daphne who fully supported her.

However, after becoming the consul of Jiuqi, Julius and Daphne met much less frequently. After all, after becoming the consul, Julius lifted weights every day and really couldn't spare the time. Besides, both Julius and Daphne had their own things to do.

Of course, although they meet less often, it does not affect their relationship.

In addition, Julius, as the governor of the administrative department, still has a certain reputation, so Daphne is very clear about Julius's job position, but Julius doesn't know what Daphne is doing. In fact, before meeting Daphne this time, Julius thought she was still working as a clerk. From this point of view, it seems that she has picked up her old job?

Julius looked Daphne up and down, a little surprised to see her wearing the robes of the Glory Church, and said in a surprised tone.

"What are you doing?"

"Hehe, that's right. I am now a registration officer in the Committee Management Department and a senior priest of the Glory Church."

After hearing Julius' question, Daphne, who looked much more mature than in the Old Age, raised her head slightly and spoke carelessly.

Julius was silent for a while after hearing Daphne's answer.

Julius was not particularly surprised that Daphne returned to her old profession. After all, Daphne was a priest of the traditional knight faith.

While Julius was silent, Daphne came up to her and measured her height.

Unlike Julius, whose height has hardly changed, Daphne has grown again in the past few years and has grown a lot taller. She is now almost 1.8 meters tall.

After gesturing for a while, Daphne showed a sympathetic expression and said.

“Julius, did you eat and sleep on time?”

Julius's face suddenly stiffened when he heard Daphne's words.

As a Donnar, although Julius decisively gave up the breathing method and chose a meditation method that was more suitable for her, her aesthetic was still in the traditional Donnar style.

As for the Donnar people, since they are all knights, and the breathing method can promote the growth and development of the body, therefore, generally speaking, the powerful knights are relatively tall.

Therefore, all Donnar people like taller ones, and so does Julius. In fact, Julius has always been troubled by his height.

She thought of many ways to increase her height, but even if she used magic to adjust her body shape, her height only increased a little bit in the end.

You can mock Julius for her lack of strength, her poor brain, or even her A. Julius won't care about these, but if you mock her height, Julius will really get a little anxious.

However, as time went by, Julius didn't really care about his height. After all, if he couldn't grow taller, he wouldn't grow taller. He was used to it. But Julius still felt a little unhappy when Daphne looked at him with sympathy.

Julius took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Yes, they just don't grow tall."

"Is that so? How about learning some breathing techniques? Breathing techniques are very effective. I learned them by practicing breathing techniques."

Daphne said with a smile.

Julius responded with a blank expression.

"I've tried that and it doesn't work."

As a fourth-level spellcaster, Julius's sea of ​​soul has recorded her body shape. Under the condition that the sea of ​​soul affects the body in reverse, unless Julius becomes a four-ring knight, it is impossible to increase his height through breathing.

Looking at Daphne who seemed to be about to say something, Julius saw something in her hand out of the corner of his eye, so he decisively chose to change the subject.

Julius pointed at what she was holding and asked.

"what is this?"

“Hey, this is it.”

Just as Daphne was speaking subconsciously, she suddenly got stuck. After glancing at Julius with her peripheral vision, she quickly put the things in her hand behind her back and smiled.

"nothing."

"Ok?"

As a Holy Light spellcaster who was very sensitive to the mind, Julius could tell at a glance that Daphne in front of him was a little nervous and worried.

Although Julius was a little curious, if it was Daphne's private matter and she didn't want to tell her, Julius would not force her, so Julius just asked casually.

"Isn't that against the law?"

Julius had only asked casually, but as soon as she finished her words, she keenly noticed that Daphne in front of her became even more nervous.

After realizing this, Julius immediately became serious.

As the governor of the administrative department, Julius would show no mercy to Daphne as long as she violated the law.

This is not only her duty, but also because she is aware of the power of the committee. If Daphne breaks the law, she cannot cover it up even if she wants to.

"Daphne, take it out. Don't try to trick me. You know what I'm capable of."

Julius looked at Daphne seriously and said in a serious tone.

Daphne looked embarrassed, hesitated, and took out the things in her hand slowly, and said in a low voice.

"Just take it."

Julius snatched the item from Daphne's hand and looked over quickly.

What caught Julius’s eye were a few large characters.

Lord of Justice and Glory
Isn't this one of the divine names that was previously rejected by the Chairman?
Looking at the pile of leaflets in his hand that promoted the chairman's personality cult, Julius looked up at Daphne in silence.

Daphne turned her head and said.

"It is illegal to promote faith in a religious place. The penalty is a fine of 300 yuan and confinement for three days. Once I have distributed the leaflets, I will turn myself in."

"How many times have you violated the rules? Why are you so skilled!!!"
