Vol 7 Chapter 73: Meeting of the Cardinals

Holy city Reims.

The entire Great Hall of Light fell into an unspeakable silence and silence, and the quiet atmosphere seemed to freeze. Regardless of whether or not they were involved in the capture of the artificial planet, all members of the Cardinals ’lowered noble heads were ready to welcome the papal crown. anger.

This operation was too unsuccessful. It was doomed from the beginning, making the adventure under the Pope's crown meaningless, and someone must be held responsible for it!

Compared with the legendary magician of the magic council, the church ’s holy spirit priest and holy knight appear less detached. Their own status and authority limit the extent of their strength growth. The higher the status, the greater the power they have, The closer you are to the Lord, the faster your strength rises, which is essentially a dependency, so punishment is not a sign of insignificance.

Moreover, before they did not grasp the mystery of faith, the previous popes still had a "god-giving" method of "extermination". The used pastor of the Holy Spirit would cut off the connection with the mountain of heaven and could only use his own "heart of faith" And it cannot be added, it will soon be reduced to a legend with no layers and no power.

The status of legendary magicians comes entirely from their own strengths. Even if they lose their status as members of the highest jury, they will not affect anything. Their reliance on the magic council lies in the integration of resources, the environment of arcane and magic research, so It must be aloof, and punishment will not hurt your muscles.

This is one of the reasons why there are many factions in the parliament and internal conflicts cannot be eliminated. The transcendence of the legends has its advantages and disadvantages.

The most embarrassing member of the Cardinals was Philip. This time the plan was completed by him. Benedict III gave him the biggest, and even he became a part of his plan, but he messed things up!

The violent sound of the artificial planet when it exploded was like the magic council full of taunts and malicious giggles, always echoing in Philip's heart, making him unable to let go for a long time.

Even as a new pastor of the Holy Spirit, he has the potential and hope to be a "young man" who wants to become a saint. The hard-core papal sect has to consider how to bear the anger under the pope's crown and how to avoid the "loss" to the greatest extent.

Although Pope Viken used the believer's emotional and physical state and how to use the power of faith to consolidate and stabilize the "people's heart" in the church, they have gained initial gains. They can steal the power of faith by themselves, and their strength has increased significantly. , No longer afraid of "absolute punishment", but this also means that their reliance on the church as an organization has increased!

Compared with those who need to work secretly to collect the power of emotions and spread the faith, those who have the organization of truth theology are happier and do n’t know how many times they can steal the power of faith from the parish under their control every day. There is no need to do more. If punished and transferred to a remote small parish, it will be an extremely serious loss!

Pope Benedict III wears a sacred crown on his gray head, holds a platinum scepter in his hand, and stares indifferently at the members of the Cardinals without saying a word for five minutes.

His divine coercion did not circulate, but the invisible pressure made the entire hall feel stagnant, making every member of the Cardinals afraid to speak.

Suddenly, he sighed softly: "This time it has nothing to do with you, it is not your fault, the plan is actually close to perfection, and the Arcanist has been successfully tuned out and held back. The magicians who blame them are too cunning. , This weird self-detonation device was actually arranged on the artificial planet. "

His calm tone and the determination of the event let the solidified atmosphere melt away, and Philip breathed a long sigh of relief, filled with sincere gratitude. The Pope's crown was broad-minded, far-sighted, and understandable.

"Under the Pope, what are we going to do now? Plan a similar action again?" Philip deliberately asked himself a question he knew the answer to, so as to shift the focus of the discussion and no longer dwell on past failures.

As if Benedict III did not know his careful thoughts, his voice was not high or low: "Until we understand the weirdness of the self-explosive device, no similar plan is possible."

"The Pope is right, the magic effect will explode, but it will explode. It is still such a powerful explosion that it cannot be taken lightly. If you don't figure out the reason, maybe someone will fall for it next time." "Angel of the Wind" Estella was a little afraid of being authentic. If the power of self-detonation was close to the "eternal fiery sun" at that time, I am afraid that I and others have already finished. Since the artificial planet that is not a legendary item can emit an "atomic fission" explosion, "Yang" is not without that tiny possibility.

Melmos also nodded: "Unless the 'God's Eye' is brought down and controlled by divine magic such as 'God's Hourglass', I can't think of other methods than forced capture, which takes too long. Will turn things into a full-fledged melee. "

Alvin, the "Eye of the Gods", one of the six Seraphs, is the only two strongmen in the Deities of Truth who can use the time-stopping divine magic-the other is naturally Pope Viken.

His ability to control "time and space" seems to come from the gift of the "God of Truth", so even the knight who inherited his bloodline and Estella who has the power of the "Angel of the Wind" cannot create a real time stop effect. At most, it can slow down and speed up "time."

"We can use a more roundabout and hidden way." Philip looked at Benedict III. "Under the pope, the god-like method you secretly announced should have shaken the minds of some high-level magicians, can we pass them ... ... "

He didn't finish talking, but every member of the cardinal group present knew what it meant, no different from stealing secrets and executing assassinations through spies.

At the original emergency meeting, Benedict III "told" them before and after the theology of truth, describing the "sun king" Tanos as the **** of truth, the Son of Supreme Being, who came to the ground, and the **** of truth and the pope. The Trinity Son, who tried to destroy the magic empire and redeem the Son of the World, described his research process of exploring the mysteries of the gods as inspired by the "God of truth", awakened the experience of memory, failed his final experiment, and merged with Heaven Mountain The description of losing all the sense of autonomy became saving the world, opening the immortal chamber, and awakening the human soul, thereby sacrificing itself and returning to the "God of truth."

Such a "story" can only make the members of the Cardinals doubtful, but the focus of Viken is not to make up the story, but to let them understand that the "God of truth" is indeed the true God who has the highest power, but just fell asleep, This can be confirmed from the majestic strength of the paradise mountains, and in addition to Viken's proactive announcement of the mysteries of gods and beliefs, they naturally "believe."

And Viken did not conceal them by secretly spreading god-like methods. They did not resist this. Anyway, they and others have a large area of ​​faith control. There is no need to compete with others. You can watch them compete with each other and pass on different forces. The help of this makes this struggle even more violent is more beneficial to themselves-if they are united, here is a pope who can perform magical magic!

Pope Benedict III shook his head: "When I gave them a god-like method, they did not ask for anything, and they would not do anything against our interests for them. In fact, I am more willing to do so when they are close to success. At that time, when the fragrant flowers are in full bloom, things will become very interesting, and we will have greater gains, so I don't want to let their 'efforts' be detected for the artificial planet. "

"Don't you just give up?" Philip was a little disappointed.

Benedict III smiled: "If they take the initiative to disclose and seek an exchange, that is another matter. I know that the" revenge bird "is eager to get a certain amount of faith, and he hides himself very well, even if Exposed, there are also ghosts for the dead. In addition, I need to see a person who may get the secret of the artificial planet directly from him ... "

Having said that, he stopped speaking, and declared the meeting of the Cardinals meeting closed.

Although Melmos, Maria, Katy, Estella and others were full of doubts and wondering who the last person to see under the "report of the dead bird" and the pope was, they had to suppress all ideas , Quietly and quietly left the large bright hall. (To be continued.)
