years ago, I once had come here one time, I remembered that time, here belief was very sufficient, at least is present over one time, why here does holy light, decline now such rapidness?” 他缓缓道:“十几年前,我曾来过这里一次,我记得那个时候,这里的信仰很充足,至少是现在的一倍以上,为何现在这里的圣光,衰落得如此之快？” cough cough cough cough cough. 咳咳咳咳咳。 He coughed fiercely several, pants for breath slightly, weary as tired as the extreme appearance. 他剧烈咳了几声,微微喘息,一副疲倦困乏到极点的样子。 „Forgives these years, because of the invasion of curtain of night heresy, I regarding here negligence, is here believer, was converted to Goddess of Wisdom?”

actually thought, because of the Dark World the invasion of accident as well as Land of Night Veil, caused this time consecutively more than ten years exterminates the heresy evil god war. 原本按照计划,新任教皇登基后,乃是开启全新一轮的十字军远征夜幕之地,却没有想到,因为黑暗世界变故以及夜幕之地的入侵,导致了这次连续十余年的剿灭异端邪神战争。 Also because of these years the continual war, the Holy See financial resource are void, therefore needs to agitate the believer self- offer time and time again, even sells the clergyman quota. 也因为这些年来的连续战争,教廷财力空虚,因此需要一次又一次鼓动信徒自我奉献,甚至出售神职人员的名额。 This also intensifies some contradictions that once hid. 这也加剧了曾经隐藏的一些矛盾。 However is good because , the invasion of curtain of night heresy, was hit finally, Land of Star Curtain restores again tranquilly. 不过好在,夜幕异端的入侵,总算是被打了回去,星幕之地又再次恢复宁静。 „Said accurately, your previous time arrives Saint Grandburg, presided over the burning down heresy thought books ceremony in Grand Academy of Natural Science, over the past 17 years nine months 21 days, as for the decline of strength of here holy light, are not because of Goddess of Wisdom.” “准确的说,您上次驾临圣格兰堡,在格兰自然科学院主持了焚烧异端思想书籍仪式,已经过去17年九个月零二十一天,至于这里圣光之力的衰落,并非因为智慧女神。” The bishop said slowly. 主教缓缓道。 In the gaze of Claire, he continues saying: „Goddess of Wisdom, because participates in the struggle of new king throne being defeated, has withdrawn from the Grand Duchy range, shifted to several small duchy, and in once subordinate god influence with that several small duchy, had the war, although now has stabilized, but massive outflows that because also believes that her divine spark has dropped to preliminarily.” 在克莱尔的注视中,他继续道:“智慧女神因为参与新任国王王位之争失败,已经退出格兰公国范围,转向了几个小公国境内,并与那几个小公国境内曾经的属神势力,发生了战争,现在虽然已经稳定,但也因为信仰的大量流失,她的神格已经跌落至低级。” Un? 嗯？ Claire is surprised the different way: „That why here does holy light so weaken?” 克莱尔诧异道:“那为何这里的圣光削弱如此之多？” „Is three years of compulsory education that because the new king promotes! This is a good deed, but this king seems discontented with a Holy See impartial imperial prince, therefore in the compulsory education, not «Magnificent Radiance Cannon» will introduce, instead joined «laws of nature», «Evolution Profound Truth», «Alchemy» some scholar work and wait/etc., this will also cause many children, regarding Radiant Creator already not their parents was so reverent.” “是因为新任国王推出的三年义务教育！这原本是件好事,但这位国王似乎对于教廷支持平皇子十分不满,因此在义务教育当中,并没有将《光明盛典》引入,反而加入了《自然规律》、《进化奥义》、《炼金术》等等的一些的学者著作,这也导致很多孩子,对于光明造物主已经没有他们父母的那么虔诚了。” The complexion of bishop is somewhat stiff. 主教的脸色有些僵硬。 He said slowly: „I feared that this way, in less than many years, grand will become another Sealand, when the time comes here holy light, will perhaps drop to the valley.” 他缓缓道:“我怕再这样下去,用不了多少年,格兰将成为另一个西兰,到时候这里的圣光,恐怕将跌落至谷底。” „Becoming another Sealand? Cannot.” “成为另一个西兰？不会的。” Claire shakes the head, the denial said. 克莱尔摇了摇头,否定道。 Sealand Duchy secret that this bishop does not know, but he clearly knows that golden swordfish, in Land of Star Curtain, may not have second. 这位主教不知道的西兰公国秘密,可是他清楚知道,那个黄金剑座,在星幕之地,可没有第二个了。 „Said that to me this new king, these years did anything.” “给我说说这位新任国王,这些年都干了些什么。” In the eye of Aurora Radiant Great Empire, the place of duchy is far away from the wilderness barren remote place of Central Plain, the subordinate god place of belief. 在欧洛拉光明大帝国的眼中,公国之地乃是远离中原的荒野贫瘠偏僻之地,属神们的信仰之地。 Because scholar is born in the black death plague popular age, that is the Holy See weakest time, and defeated Dark World with Holy See together, therefore Holy See regarding the scholar attitude, throughout with death these heresy subordinate god in swamp, thorn deep forest and Hengduan Mountains, although is not intimate, can actually be to use the tool. 学者因为乃是在黑死病瘟疫流行的年代诞生,那是教廷最虚弱的时代,并与教廷一同击败了黑暗世界,因此教廷对于学者的态度,始终与死亡沼泽、荆棘深林、横断山脉中的那些异端属神一样,虽然不亲近,却可以作为利用工具。 As for atheism that scholars advocates. 至于学者们宣扬的无神论。 It looks like in Holy See, this is not even the heresy theory, but is...... benighted! 在教廷看来,这甚至算不上异端学说,而是……愚昧无知！ Enough the less than half hour glass time, this bishop, at the duchy higher angle of view, to Claire mainly elaborated grand Chen king these years the achievements. 足足小半个沙漏时间,这位主教,以公国高等视角,向克莱尔主要阐述了格兰辰王这些年来的政绩。 Claire knits the brows slightly the ponder. 克莱尔微微皱眉思考。 In the room is shortly silent, after the bishop starts to speak but hesitates several times, he could not bear finally, said slowly: „Moreover...... also matter, these years, because has not been clear about the evidence, I cannot to Aurora prompt reporting, but also asked great religion leader secret agent.” 房间内短暂沉默下来,主教几次欲言又止后,他终于忍不住了,缓缓道:“另外……还有一件事,这些年来因为没有明确证据,我没能向欧洛拉及时上报,还请大教主暗查。” „What?” “什么？” Claire asked. 克莱尔问道。 Bishop Saint Grandburg said slowly: „Initially this Chen king when the struggle of imperial prince, flees Saint Grandburg, chases down facing even the imperial prince, as if elite Holy See influence, once helped him get through the difficult time in secret!” 圣格兰堡主教缓缓道:“当初这位辰王陛下在皇子之争时,逃离圣格兰堡,面对平皇子追杀,似乎有一支精锐的教廷势力,曾暗中帮助过他渡过难关！” He deeply inspires. 他深吸了口气。 „But before then, the Holy See will is very clear, is an impartial imperial prince.” “但在此之前,教廷意志很明确,乃是支持平皇子。”
