Chapter 486: Chapter 291 The Tsar’s Law and the Eastern Orthodox Church_1

Ivita furrowed her brows. "What’s your name?"

"My name is Duva Gureggrevsky. I come from the Tevryl Duchy," said Duva Gureggrevsky. "Thirty years ago, because I, in the Tevryl Duchy, confessed to a priest of the Eastern Orthodox Church and inadvertently expressed my dissatisfaction with the contemporary Grand Duke of Tevryl, I was pursued by those priests of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Special Action Army of Tevryl Duchy."

"During my escape, I killed several people, hence I became a notorious serial killer in the Tevryl Duchy."

"Fortunately, there are some places in this world that can accommodate a grave sinner like me. I came to the world of pirates and became a quartermaster here."

To gain Ivita’s trust, Duva Gureggrevsky introduced himself to those present.

Ivita looked curiously at the Hearthstone Witch, "What is the Eastern Orthodox Church and Special Action Army?"

The Hearthstone Witch bowed slightly to Ivita and said, "The church’s history is too long and there have been many divergences over time. A thousand years ago these divergences caused them to split into several factions."

"The mainstream church is the Western Church of the God of All Things. The faith of the Western Magic Black Forest countries is led by the Western Church. The Pope is the head of the Western Church, and together they form a sacred international system."

"But there are also some churches that believe that the Pope is just an ordinary Archbishop. Only the Emperor of the ancient civilization is the highest-ranking representative of the God of All Things in this world. This part of the church has gone to the far east north, where it has taken root and believes they are the only true church, calling themselves the Eastern Orthodox Church."

"The third part of the church split for more complex reasons, and they survive on a continent where the faith of the God of All Creatures is mainstream. They believe there is only one God in this world - the God of All Things. Both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western Papal Church worship the God of All Things and his son, which essentially means they believe there are two creator gods in this world."

"Therefore, this church proclaims itself the Coptic Church."

The Hearthstone Witch shook her head. "Hence, the Church of the God of All Things split into three. But usually, when we talk about the church, we’re referring to the Western Papal Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church is almost only recognized as a state religion by the Kingdoms in Tevryl Duchy. The Coptic Church can only struggle to survive on the other side of the ocean, in the corners of the continent, with its sanctuaries and holy city becoming the land of others."

"The nominal leader of the Coptic Church is still on the land of Mamuruk kingdom. The original pastoral head of the Eastern Orthodox Church is also in the hands of the Selzhu—Rome Empire."

Ivita seemed thoughtful.

If the original Universal Church split into three, it’s no wonder that the Western Church, led by the Pope, no longer has a consensus on its universal law. Therefore, the Universal Church has already split into three parts, and perhaps there are other factions still splitting the Universal Church.

The Hearthstone Witch said, "The system of confession is originally where people confess to the God of All Things through the priests in the church. In principle, priests cannot tell anyone about the content of people’s confessions, not even the superiors of the church."

"I heard that the ruler of Tevryl Duchy had the priests regularly inform him of his subjects’ confessions to the God of All Things, picking out those who were dissatisfied with the Tevryl Duchy regime. I didn’t expect it to be true."

"Compared to the Western Papal Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church is like a dog raised by a monarch."

Duva Gureggrevsky also scoffed, nodding continuously. "When I saw the hypocrisy of the Eastern Orthodox Church, when I knew that the priests had betrayed the believers of God of All Things to their king, I knew that the doctrines about God, morality, and the judgement in the afterlife were all false—people just need to live in this world and manage their own lives."

The Hearthstone Witch exclaimed, "The monarch of Tevryl is really smart, even using the confidential confession system of the church, turning it into the king’s intelligence agency."

Duva Gureggrevsky looked up and down at the Hearthstone Witch, who sincerely admired this endeavor, filled with confusion. It was as if he was pondering why the woman in front of him couldn’t sympathize with him. Because the priests told a third party the content of a believer’s secret confession, anyone who knew this would hate it, right? Why did the witch in front of him seem to think it was a great thing?

Duva Gureggrevsky coughed once. He couldn’t be angry with his big client, so when he realized that the Hearthstone Witch sincerely couldn’t empathize with him, he had to change the topic, saying to Ivita, "As for the Special Action Army, it is a special military force under the Tsar’s Law, a subsidiary law. As we all know, the Tsar’s Law is only a kingdom-level law, but it is actually an independent law separated directly from the Universal Law of the ancient civilization."

"Before the Tevryl Duchy received this law, it was a small tax collector under the Golden Horde. But the Romanov royal family of Tevryl Duchy, by marrying a princess with ancient civilization bloodline, received the Tsar’s Law, implementing the transfer of law."
