Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 48 The Powers of the Holy See

"The Pope is the head of the Holy See's will, the Saint is the goddess' support in the world, and the Grand Inquisitor is the sharpest sword of the Holy See. With the support of any two of the three of them, sitting in the position of Archbishop will

It has become a very simple thing. In fact, a long time ago, titles such as Saints and Saints were just a kind of pure glory, and they did not have any substantive rights in their hands. The same is true for the Pope, who more often just represents

It represents a symbol, but the real power actually lies in the hands of the Grand Inquisitor."

"The Grand Inquisitor controls more than 90% of the armed forces of the Holy See, and many God-loved ones are at his disposal. However, as the last witch disaster was put down, the witch's influence on the world weakened, and the power of the Grand Inquisitor

and status have also been affected. The Holy See no longer has to fight all year round to expand its influence and spread the belief of the goddess.

, winning over more believers has become a more important matter. As a result, seven archbishops were born, power became dispersed, and internal struggles became fierce. Now the position of the Grand Inquisitor has been vacant for almost a hundred years, and the Pope has actually always wanted

A new candidate was selected to take this position, but it’s a pity that the right candidate has never been found.”

Moqil spoke, and Li Xun understood the meaning of the other person's words almost instantly.

"In this case, even if I become the archbishop, it will be meaningless. After all, those three are the real ones."

"After all, times have changed. Back then, we acted arbitrarily because we often encountered major disasters. We couldn't survive without concerted efforts. Now, with the world being peaceful and stable, many things naturally require more detailed discussion and consideration."

"Is it peaceful and stable? Do you really think so?"

Li Xun shook his head, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Pollution has always existed and has never disappeared. Cultists are rampant in places like the City of Stars. It is unknown how many people are shrouded in the shadow of the evil god.

"That's not something we need to consider. The Holy See, which holds the power, thinks so. What can we mortals do?"

"But speaking of it, I'm very curious. In all these years, there really isn't a single noble disciple among the God's Favored Ones? It should be a very simple matter to place people in the Holy See and slowly gain the initiative, right?"

Li Xun asked knowingly, but the expression on Moqier's face became serious.

Li Xun was slightly stunned. He never thought that this would be the case. After thinking for a moment, he spoke with a sigh.

After getting the answer he wanted, Moqier couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

She might have been a little worried at first, but now that she knows the relationship between Li Xun and Rosalind, Moqier is completely relieved.

"The goddess hasn't killed you yet, she is really kind."

"However, the Holy See has actually taken it seriously. Otherwise, the Pope would not have thought of re-appointing a Grand Inquisitor. You must know that this will weaken the power in his hands."

Moqier shrugged his shoulders in a bachelor manner, expressing that he was really powerless.

Investing in yourself is equivalent to investing in Rosalind, with guaranteed profits but no losses.

Today, eighteen years later, this has indeed been verified.

If Rosalind returns to the Star City now, she will naturally be promoted to the sky and take up the seat of the Grand Inquisitor. This is obviously a natural thing.

"So, who exactly has the best chance of becoming the future Grand Inquisitor?"

Li Xun had to admit that Moqier's words made sense. No wonder the other party would invest in him like this.

"Then I really made a mistake in blaming my uncle. My uncle's ideological awareness is unusually high."

"How many favored ones do you think there are in the Starry Kingdom today?"

"Stop, stop, stop, uncle, are you trying to make me feel guilty, and then try every means to help the teacher take the position of the Grand Inquisitor? She, you, and everyone here are not the same person, regarding the position of the Grand Inquisitor.

, I will only respect the teacher’s own opinion.”

Li Xun was a little confused. Eighty percent of it had penetrated into the sieve. The nobles couldn't completely control the Holy See. They were too incompetent, right?

"Of the two hundred and fifteen God-favored ones, I'm afraid less than thirty are genuine, and the rest are all fake."

"Then how..."

"No, on the contrary, among the two hundred and fifteen people, at least 80% are descendants of nobles."

Not the right choice, but her choice was the right one.

"Two hundred and fifteen people, this is the number of God's Favored Persons currently disclosed."

"Don't say too much, maybe one or two hundred, right?"

Li Xun asked the question in his heart, while Moqier showed a wry smile.

"In order to protect the face of the Holy See, this is a last resort. The goddess is good at everything, but she treats the believers' requests too lightly."

"I also respect and admire Miss Rosalind, and I also believe that the choice she makes is always the right one."

Because even if it was for Li Xun, that woman would return to the Holy See and take the position of the Grand Inquisitor.

Li Xun's tone seemed a little sinister, while Moqier laughed, thinking that the other person was praising him.

"You should know that Rosalind, your adoptive mother, was just a hair away from becoming the Grand Inquisitor, if it weren't for you."

"Teacher, that's it. Is she your guide to the extraordinary world?"

"Mortals have no choice but to have a certain say in the Holy See. Isn't it just to pay more attention to these things?"

Just like eighteen years ago, she made that choice without hesitation.

"Yes, those favored by God will definitely enter the core and decision-making circle of the Holy See. It can't be that none of the two hundred and fifteen people are descendants of nobles, right?"

"Fake...fake?"

Otherwise, is it possible to respond to requests?

Do you worship her, or does she worship you?

Li Xun couldn't help but roll his eyes, inexplicably feeling that the religions in this world were somewhat deformed.

People under religion have turned into giant babies who can only stretch out their hands. If one day, the gods really abandon their believers, I am afraid these believers will really have to wait for death.

"What about extraordinary people? Even if they don't become God's Favored Ones, if they gain power by becoming extraordinary people, they can still have a certain say in the Holy See, right?"

"Becoming a transcendent is not easy. Not everyone has the qualifications, and not everyone has the courage to take that step. The weak supernatural beings are meaningless, while the strong ones will gradually distort their character. Most of them are

The Tribunal is on standby and will not interfere in some major decisions of the Holy See, which is why the position of Grand Inquisitor is so important."
