Noble Emblem

"So, how are you sure that other priests and priests will support you as the first female pope in history?"

This is indeed a very real issue. After all, a female pope is considered the first 'special case'. Whether it will cause large-scale dissatisfaction among grassroots personnel is indeed worthy of consideration and vigilance.

Although the superiors in this world do not pay much attention to the life and death of the people at the bottom, they at least understand that if a large number of people at the bottom of a sect disperse, they will definitely bring a large number of believers to other sects, and then the gods will gain the power of faith. It will decrease. When the strength of the gods becomes weaker, more low-level priests will leave, and more believers will leave, forming a vicious cycle.

"Don't worry, I got the oracle from the goddess. As long as I pass the test, the goddess will allow me to sit on the papal throne."

To other archbishops, these words were no less than an earthquake. All the archbishops had horrified expressions on their faces, and the calmness they had pretended to have completely disappeared.

There was even an archbishop who jumped up: "You actually listened to the oracle?"

Although they all have some problems with their character, their faith is not bad, otherwise they would not be able to sit in the position of archbishop. Hearing the voice of the Goddess is the dream of every true believer.

Monica smiled, feeling somewhat pleased with herself.

There are not many people in this world who can listen to the teachings of gods. Everyone who speaks out can arouse the envy of others.

As for Beta, who is easily recruited into the Kingdom of God to chat, he can't be counted.

An archbishop calmed down quickly and asked, "How do you prove it?"

"First of all, I am the one favored by the gods." Monica waved her hand and dropped a few translucent little spiders crawling around on the scene: "You should also know that the goddess now is different from before."

When the four archbishops saw this scene, their eyes froze, and then they looked at each other without making a sound.

They have long discovered that the current goddess is very different from before, and the aura of divine power has changed greatly.

Moreover, they had dreamed several times of a huge human-headed spider that exuded divine power of life, and they vaguely understood what was going on.

The original goddess of life is gone, and here comes a new god.

It's just that they don't want to tell the truth, and they don't dare to say it.

The little spiders were crawling around on the ground, and the aura attached to them was somewhat similar to what they felt in their dreams.

The favored ones of the New God...so that's it.

The archbishop understood why Celia had been 'rising' so fast during this period of time. With the goddess behind her, it was strange that she was unhappy.

In fact, these are all Monica's own efforts, but human beings like to beautify the ability of gods. In their view, the fate of the world, the past and the future, are all under the control of gods.

It’s no wonder that Celia can become an archbishop as a woman, and at such a young age, she even dares to stand up to these veteran archbishops.

These archbishops gave themselves a suitable reason to agree that Monica could achieve such an achievement.

As a woman, the other party is actually not more capable than them, but she has a god standing behind her.

With this thought, they feel better.

These archbishops were actually very smart, and they vaguely guessed who the person who killed other archbishops was, but they were not sure.

But now, 'Celia' revealed her identity, which only made them more sure of their thoughts.

"So, how do we bring out the mastermind behind the teaching?" one of the archbishops asked.

Monica smiled: "We are the best bait. Two of us have died in the past few days. The rest of us must also be targeted for assassination."

"Can we just wait?" asked an archbishop.

Monica shook her head: "This is the only way at the moment. The Pope still holds great power. Whether it is the Heretic Inquisition or the Temple Guards, they are all his forces. Unless we at least instigate rebellion against one of them, we will never be able to take the initiative. "

All the archbishops showed a look of embarrassment. They knew very well that since ancient times, the Pope has had direct command of these two departments. It is very difficult to instigate rebellion.

Another archbishop asked: "Where are the nobles?"

"It's okay if you let them bully those who are weaker than themselves, but if you let them fight a tough battle to deal with the Pope, they will definitely not be willing to take the lead." Monica shook her head: "They are born to know how to speculate. If we have no chance of winning, they will Stand with the Pope without hesitation.”

All the bishops fell silent.

They feel that they have a noble status, so it feels awkward to let them be used as bait.

"If you don't want to, you can quit now."

"Aren't you afraid that we will all quit?"

"Don't be afraid." Monica said calmly: "Anyway, even if I fail, I have a way to protect myself. But you are different... The goddess is different now. You must either change your faith and start over from the beginning, or... you have to accept the current pope. revenge."

Monica's words made these archbishops look quite ugly.

But I have to admit, what she said makes sense.

After a while, one of the archbishops said: "Anyway, both sides are dead ends, so it's not a fight. Tell me, what's the bait?"

Monica smiled, knowing that she finally had the ability to challenge the Pope.

Next, it was Monica's one-man show, and then she returned to the North County monastery room. She rolled onto Beta's bed in one go, lying in a big shape, her curves seductive, and she thought: "I'm exhausted, scheming with these old things. It’s really troublesome, even in the midst of a disaster, you’re still thinking about your own interests.”

Beta sat on the chair and suddenly said: "I don't think it's appropriate about the enfeoffment system."

"What an inappropriate method." Monica sat up: "After much thought, this is the only way to win over them."

"It is easy to cause separatism among the princes." Beta said: "Over time, the localities will no longer listen to the central government's orders."

Monica frowned: "Then let's look at it step by step in the future, after all, the present is important."

"In fact, you can consider the cabinet deliberative system, which can also be called a centralized democracy." Beta said: "You can decentralize power, and you can also make power at least act under your own eyes."

When Monica heard this, she suddenly became interested: "Tell me and listen."

"I plan to wait in a few years for the God of Wealth to fully get on the right track and implement this power distribution method." Beta's words told her that this idea was not a temporary idea, but something that had been considered for a long time. : "It actually means one sentence: Leave the matter to others, and the Pope only has the power to supervise and enforce discipline."

Monica was a little puzzled: "It seems to be the case now. The Pope doesn't have to do anything most of the time."

"No, it's different." Beta said with a smile: "The current situation is that what a sect does is decided by the pope, and other people are just puppets. In a centralized democracy, how a sect does and develops is decided by everyone. After all, the Pope only needs to ensure the loyalty of the senators under him to the religion."
