St. Basil's Cathedral is located on the Red Square in the center of Mosk, with the Mosk River to the south and close to the Kremlin where Katerina is located. It belongs to the top ranks of the Romanov Kingdom in terms of political significance and cultural connotation.
After walking through the stone brick streets, Ma Wei and others came under this huge church and looked at the majestic and towering spire, as if they were admiring a work of art.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor blew up everything that could be blown up and looted all the property that could be taken away, but they only spared the churches in each city.
The Kremlin next door was completely destroyed, but St. Basil's Cathedral was still intact...except for a shell that fell on the street next to it, it had not experienced the baptism of war at all.
In this regard, Ma Wei doesn't think that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor let these churches go because there is no valuable property in the churches that can be taken away. He thinks it is because of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny.
These churches are all relics of the Apocalypse Theology. As a member of the Apocalypse Theology, it is understandable that the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny does not want to destroy them. After all, the church is the most direct and intuitive embodiment of a church. If a house is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. A church Once damaged...
The murals and buildings rich in history have disappeared forever.
but....
Ma Wei remembered that the God of Truth, Budge, had said to him that when using the divine white candle, the effect would be better if it was inside the church.
Does this mean that churches have a unique role?
There was no complete evidence, so Ma Wei couldn't be sure, but since Buggy said so, she must have a point.
The fact that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor did not destroy these churches may have something to do with the churches themselves.
I'll have to find a chance to ask next time...
"Boss, Katerina left such an important position to us..." Lai Wen looked at the Kremlin next door and smacked his lips: "If we treat this as our headquarters, shouldn't we be right next to her? That's good. ?"
The Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral are only separated by a street, which is tens of meters away. It only takes 2 minutes to walk. With such a close distance, it can be said that there are no secrets between the two parties. Every move is under the gaze of the other party. .
The advantage is that communication between the two parties is more convenient and faster, and they can arrive as soon as possible in case of danger. The disadvantages are the same...
If one day Katerina wants to overthrow the Church of Truth, or if the Church of Truth wants to drag her off the throne, just launch a direct attack.
In the era of the advent of gods, it is simply unrealistic for Katerina to overthrow the Church of Truth, but it is possible for the Church of Truth to drag her down from the throne. This alone...
This is enough to prove Katerina's trust in the Church of Truth... No, it should be said that her ambitions are huge.
Handing St. Basil's Cathedral next to the Kremlin to the Church of Truth is by no means a simple act of trust. In Mavey's view, Katerina is showing friendship to the Church of Truth, proving that she is not because of Mavey's lack of support for her. Carrying a grudge against an armed coup.
At the same time, Katerina also hopes that the Church of Truth can fully support her and achieve political and religious cooperation, so that she can realize her ambitions.
"She is showing us..." Ma Wei took a deep breath.
"Indicate? What does it mean?" the source asked.
"Under the current situation, how many people dare to place the church directly next to their own palace?" Ma Wei said softly: "There is a tiger lying on the side of the bed. Can you sleep peacefully?"
The letter is somewhat clear: "That's right. If you look at William V and others, they don't dare to let the church live in the Palace of Forgetfulness. They have to keep some distance to feel at ease. Although this is just self-comfort, at least there is a buffer distance. ....”
Daniel: "......"
He wanted to say something, but couldn't find a point to refute.
What the communication says is true.
Katerina returned to Moscow more than a month ago. After a month of restoration of the war-torn Kremlin, the red walls have been rebuilt. It looks decent, but if it wants to be completely repaired, it still needs to be restored. It takes a long time.
Ma Wei and others don't have such worries, they can just pack their bags and move in.
Compared with Znamensky Cathedral, St. Basil's Cathedral has more rooms and corridors. It is not a problem to accommodate one or two hundred people. When Mawe and others walked into the church, they saw at a glance that they were busy carrying long bags in the hall. The monks in the chair.
These monks who followed Katerina in the war have returned to the church. Compared with a few months ago, they are much thinner and their skin is tanned. The wind and frost have left traces on their faces, but everyone looks like He seemed to have been completely transformed, exuding an aura unique to a warrior.
"Father."
The monks held their chests and nodded to Ma Wei and others.
"Pavlenko, thank you for your hard work. How are the casualties?"
"Only Chechulin was killed. He was accidentally hit by a cannonball while charging with the army..." Pavlenko replied in a deep voice.
The monks who are surrounded by the army and responsible for support and long-range strike work are the safest. Even so, many accidents still happen on the battlefield, which is inevitable.
It is also at this time that the power of the health goddess Wilder can be reflected.
The realm of immortality....
At least it reduced casualties by more than 90% in the Kingdom of Windsor.
This is simply magic made for war.
"Place his ashes in the Martyrs' Pavilion. We must remember his bravery and achievements."
"Yes, Father."
The luggage was unloaded from the carriage one by one and sent into the church. During this period, Ma Wei boiled several pots of hot water, washed off the dirt from the past few days, put on a clean priest's robe, and then came to the hall, doing nothing. Edward said: "Come with me."
Mavie and Edward came to the lounge upstairs one after another. After closing the door, Mavie pointed to the sofa and motioned for Edward to sit down.
"What's wrong?" Edward felt a little strange about Ma Wei's unexpected behavior.
On the way to the lounge, it thought about all the bad things it had done in its life, but still had no clue.
After throwing two pieces of firewood into the fireplace, Mavey sat down opposite Edward, stared at its golden eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Can members of the vampire family get pregnant like humans?"
Edward's cheek twitched uncontrollably: "What did you do to my wife?"
"I didn't do anything. You answer my questions first."
"Strigions can't get pregnant, I mean...can't get pregnant like humans can."
After hesitating, Edward said: "The vampire can reproduce, but that requires a member of the vampire to devote all his strength, and its life will give birth to a new life."
Ma Wei wondered: "Does this method of reproduction have any significance?"
"Yes, the newly born vampire will inherit all the power of the father's body and part of the mother's power, thus becoming more powerful." Edward said: "It is precisely because of this unique reproduction method that the number of vampires has not been able to increase. Although Members of the Vampire Clan can assimilate humans and become their own kind, but due to the diminishing power of blood transmission, the power of fourth- and fifth-generation Clan members is already extremely weak, and they are more like humans than Vampire Clan members."
Afraid that Ma Wei wouldn't understand, Edward explained a little more: "To put it simply, I am the only vampire who can reproduce powerful second-generation species. The second-generation species can create third-generation species, but the third-generation species are very weak and can be killed. dead."
"What you said about being weak is probably a conclusion drawn from comparison with you."
"Of course." Edward nodded: "Why do you ask these questions? Do you have a crush on one of my vassals?"
"No, I asked these questions because I was commissioned by a vampire member who wanted his unborn child to become a human being."
Edward's face instantly turned cold. The pregnant vampire...of course it knew who it was, Louise.
"What did it say to you?"
"Tell me how you turned it into a vampire, Edward. Why did you hide it from me?"
"I'm not hiding anything from you. This matter is between me and it and has nothing to do with you."
"It told me the same thing, but its request is reasonable. Can you fulfill its wish?"
"No." Edward said simply.
"Why?"
"Because the child in its belly has been affected by the blood of the vampire. I can't turn a vampire back into a human. This is beyond my ability."
Ma Wei nodded slightly: "So, you don't actually mind letting his child become a human?"
"I mind, but I didn't expect it to talk to you about this." Edward lowered his eyes, looked at his palm, and said with a sad tone: "I regard it as a friend, but it doesn't trust me..."
"Friends?" Ma Wei sneered: "Can you stop wishful thinking? Think about it from its perspective. If you were to have your heart ripped out and forcibly turned into a vampire, would you regard the other person as a friend?"
Edward said nothing.
"Perhaps, it really wanted to be friends with you before, but unfortunately..." Ma Wei shook his head and said to the point: "It was not it that betrayed, but you, Edward."
"I...betrayed it?" Edward didn't understand very much.
"It used to be human, so you can't use the vampire's way of thinking to define its thoughts." Ma Wei sighed: "Many things in this world are caused by misunderstandings. If you want the vampire to integrate into human society, you must accept human beings." The way of thinking, many times, vampires and humans have different views on one thing."
"...."
Edward was silent for a long time, as if he understood something.
It stood up and walked towards the door of the lounge. Before going out, it suddenly stopped and said without looking back: "Father, your ability to deflect conflicts is really amazing. You used this method to deceive you back in Ross Lair Port." My, I’m going to do my old trick again today..."
"Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"This is your strongest point..."
Edward said quietly: "Your theory is completely tenable, so even if people know that you are deflecting conflicts, they still choose to believe you, and I am the same... Don't worry, I won't do anything to it, I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with it, even though it has no heart for a long time.”
"This joke is so cold and not funny at all."
"Really? I think it's quite interesting. It's a vampire joke."
After Edward left, Mavey sat in the lounge for a while, looking at the fireplace in a daze. It wasn't until 7 o'clock in the evening that he stood up, put on his black wool coat, put on his hat, and shouted downstairs:
"Come on, Daniel! You two are going to the dinner party with me and Nia!"
