Chapter 1571 The Three Great Knights

If you want to get the Holy Grail back from Bao Zixuan, money is of no use at all. Although the Vatican is very wealthy and there is absolutely no shortage of funds. But the financial resources of Bao Zixuan are not weaker than theirs, and they are definitely stronger now; and he has made it clear that he must use them.

Exchange of other cultural relics. In addition, the other party is not a believer at all, and there is no reason for them to donate it.

Now we can only think of ways to get the Holy Grail back. But for Christian holy objects, the stock price is really not good. If the valuation is too low, Bao Shaofu will definitely not be satisfied; it also shows that the Vatican has no sincerity. But the valuation is too high and the price will be too high.

The cost is inevitably a bit high. In short, this is a very contradictory thing, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Seeing the Pope in deep thought, another important figure, Angelo Mohana di Corona, thought that he could not let the Knights Templar take away the credit alone; after all, they also had an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of the Holy Grail.

.As long as you are a man, you must take responsibility.

Corona is not a junior, but the current Grand Master of another famous Knights Hospitaller; it can be said that he has a high status in the Holy See.

The full name of the Knights Hospitaller is the "Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem", also known as the Knights of St. John the Baptist. It was founded in 1099. It was originally founded by nobles of the Duchy of Burgundy and several companions in the Church of St. John the Baptist in Jerusalem.

A nearby hospital was established, its main purpose being to care for the wounded and pilgrims.

The Order of Hospitallers developed rapidly due to their selfless dedication to pilgrims, and the medical work of the Knights Hospitallers was also widely praised by Christians. From 1110 onwards, the order agreed to hand over the property scattered in the territory of Jerusalem to the Knights Hospitallers.

In 1113, the Holy See recognized them as an independent order and granted them a series of economic and political privileges, such as not having to pay tithes, not having to accept the leadership of any political power, and only being subject to the control of the Pope.

In the early days of its establishment, the Knights Hospitaller was just a charity organization. It was not until 1120 that the Knights Hospitaller began to operate as a military order, using force to protect pilgrims from pagan attacks, and developed into an important military force in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

They also had great influence on the political situation in Jerusalem. Baldwin III praised them for their "excellent medical skills, well-equipped equipment, and pious faith."

The rules of the Knights Hospitaller are based on the rules of the Augustinian Order. The members of the Knights are divided into priests, knights and non-commissioned officers, as well as members or recipients. The Knights are ruled by a grand master and have priests.

The meeting was assisted by eight judges. Its organization was very similar to the Knights Templar, but its performance in charity was more significant.

Unlike the Knights Templar, who were disbanded and developed underground, the Knights Hospitaller has always existed from the time it was founded to the present. Therefore, it has retained a very good heritage and has continued for thousands of years, which is really not easy.

The Knights Hospitaller also had a certain responsibility for the loss of the Holy Grail; now they must show sincerity, at least let the believers see their responsibility.

Corona, the current Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, thought for a moment and said: "The Knights Templar announced their dissolution hundreds of years ago, and it is somewhat inappropriate to reappear now. The Knights Hospitaller are also responsible for the loss of the Holy Grail, so I am still rich in the past.

Chaila. After so many years, the Knights Hospitallers have some savings. If Bao Zixuan needs it, it doesn’t matter if you give it to him."

The words must be said beautifully, at least the attitude must be expressed in front of John Paul II.

At present, the Knights Hospitaller is a sovereign "quasi-state" and it can be said that it does not completely rely on the Vatican. In fact, the Knights Hospitaller is somewhat similar to the East India Company; but in terms of the elements that constitute a country, the Knights Hospitaller is far more advanced than the East India Company.

The company is more complete. The latter only has the right to form an army, issue currency, and rule colonies; but in terms of completeness and political status, the East India Company is obviously not as good as the Knights Hospitallers.

Because the Knights Hospitallers have their own national anthem, official language, constitution, currency, passports, stamps, and independent judiciary; they have a foreign minister, a finance minister, legislation, and a parliament. The most important thing is that it is established with 104 countries in the world

has diplomatic relations, and it still exists as an observer entity to the United Nations.

Its only flaw is that it has no territory. Therefore, this also causes the Knights Hospitallers to exist as a political entity, but it does not have the nature of a country. Although it has many constituent elements of a country, it has no territory; therefore

It is not a country in the true sense, but it still exists as a political sovereign entity recognized by international law.

Although it does not need to be completely obedient to John Paul II, if it wants to develop or seek other resources, it must be consistent with the Vatican.

You must know that the Knights Hospitallers have no territory, so they may be slightly behind in terms of funds. The two office buildings are still leased from the Italian government. Even if there are some channels to obtain funds, they are only through charity, or relying on

The influence of the Holy See.

If we break up with the Vatican, the final result will definitely not be good.

John Paul II was very moved when he heard that the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller wanted to leave. Although this would increase the influence of the Knights Hospitaller, it was still a good idea.

The Knights Templar had been declared disbanded by Pope Clement V in 1312. If it appeared at this time, it would be unclear. Wouldn’t it be a slap in the face? You must know that the authority of the Pope is absolutely unquestionable and must never be

Let the world see the Vatican joke.

At the same time, he also understood in his heart that the Knights Hospitaller wanted to use this time to welcome the return of the Holy Grail and increase their influence. But is there any other better way at the moment?

At this time, I saw Ildefus Paula not far away; I immediately had an idea in my mind. Such a great contribution cannot be taken away by the Knights Hospitaller. The Teutonic Knights can also participate.

The Teutonic Knights, also known as the German Knights, officially known as the German Knights of Jerusalem, were a Catholic military organization in the medieval period of the Holy Roman Empire and one of the three famous knights. The early members were all Germans.

After surrendering to Poland, it was forced to accept the Poles.

On March 5, 1198, the Teutonic Knights were founded in Acre, now in Israel, and thereafter used Acre as their headquarters until 1291. In 1224, the Teutonic Knights established the Teutonic Order after conquering the Prussian region and the ancient Prussians.

Kingdom of the Knights.

In 1512, Albrecht, who came from the Hohenzollern family of Brandenburg, was elected as the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights. He was a close relative of the Elector of Brandenburg. Under the influence of Martin Luther, in 1525

In 1998 he announced his conversion to Lutheranism.

The connection with the Holy See, the titular patriarch of the Knights, was severed, the country of the Teutonic Knights was declared secular, and the territory of the Knights was changed to the Principality of Prussia. Albrecht appointed himself Duke of Prussia, but the Teutonic Knights still existed as an organization.

In 1809, Napoleon disbanded the Teutonic Knights as a military organization.

In 1929, Pope Pius XI decreed that the Teutonic Knights became a purely religious monastic order, which exists to this day with assistance and public welfare.

Although the Teutonic Knights have experienced many twists and turns, compared to the invisible Knights Templar and the relatively independent Knights Hospitaller, the Teutonic Knights definitely belong to their own people. In the past, they added two red men

Archbishop Yi is not only sincere, but even believers will believe that everything is coordinated by the Vatican; legitimacy must be established.

Ildefus Paula is such a smart person. He has been with the Pope for so long. His ability to observe words and emotions is not bad at all. Of course he understood what John Paul II meant. So he said directly: "This matter is related to

The honor of all knights, although it is difficult for the Templar Knights to come forward; but the Teutonic Knights must participate and contribute to the return of the Holy Grail."

Hearing this boy's statement, John Paul II was very satisfied. It seems that his own people understand things and know what they want to express. If the Knights Hospitallers are really allowed to bring back the Holy Grail, then their influence will inevitably increase significantly.

Elevation. This is not in the long-term interests of the Vatican and religion.

But if the artifacts of the Holy Grail were exchanged, all the relics would be borne by the Vatican; John Paul II felt a little distressed. After all, with Bao Zixuan's appetite, the price would definitely not be small.

They do not produce labor themselves and rely on other sources of income. Although it is easier to make money than ordinary people, they value wealth more than anyone else.

Now if the Knights Hospitallers provide money and people, the Holy Grail will still be placed in the Vatican in the end. This is the result he wants to get, it depends on how Corona chooses!
