Noble Emblem

1100 The Duties of the Pope

Getting angry at others is a good way to relieve stress. Of course, it is also one of the criteria for judging whether a person has inner qualities.

A slap sent the guard flying to the wall, and after the latter rolled to the ground, he immediately stood up again, not even bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and knelt down on the spot, extremely frightened.

He knew that his life was in the hands of the Pope in front of him.

This is the little person, this is the sadness of having no power. If a bishop is standing in front of the Pope, even if the Pope is angry again, he will not do so categorically.

Most of the pope's anger disappeared with this slap. He looked at the guard and waved his hand in disgust. The latter immediately turned and left as if he had been granted amnesty.

The room became quiet again. The Pope sat at the table and looked at the delicious breakfast, but he had no intention of eating it.

Gus could probably guess a little bit about what Beta wanted to do. He felt that nothing good had happened since he became pope. When he took office, the temple was in turmoil, and it was he who single-handedly reversed the decline. As for the fact that Emma had a higher reputation and greater contribution at that time, he selectively forgot.

It was also him who made a wonderful move to sell the Saint to the Temple of Wealth... Not only did he consolidate his position and avoid the "double-headed" political situation in the temple, but also enabled the divine religion to receive a large amount of funding. The Zoroastrian Cult had a slight upper hand in the battle.

I just didn't expect that the cunning Wealth God Cult was obviously an ally with them, but while they were at war with the Zoroastrian Cult, they continued to erode their 'sphere of influence'. If the Temple of Storms originally had about 20% of the population's belief ratio in Hollevin, then it is only about 10% now.

This is a faith rate that has fallen into the dangerous line. If this continues, the Storm Goddess's kingdom will be in danger of being weakened.

So he could only form an alliance with Zoroastrianism.

The Zoroastrian Cult has no intention of entering Holevin, but the Wealth Cult has a tendency to 'unify' Holevin in terms of belief.

Distance and close attack... At a critical moment of life and death, the enemy is no longer an enemy, but an ally.

Because of this philosophy and thinking, he formed an alliance with Zoroastrianism.

Is this wrong? Not at all, not at all.

But the problem is that the other party knows.

How do you know?

Who revealed the news to them?

Is there a traitor?

impossible! I have tested it myself and found that the people who know about the alliance are all true believers who are very loyal to the goddess. Some of them are fanatical believers. It is impossible for them to betray.

So what's going on?

Gus was puzzled. In his opinion, he was doing it very covertly.

After specially putting on makeup, they went to meet the Pope of Zoroastrianism alone and signed a contract in private. In order not to let the world find out, they even put on a show together.

It shouldn't be.

If Beta could hear his inner thoughts, he would definitely smile with big teeth.

There are traces of any conspiracy. Although Gus is also from a small noble family, when it comes to conspiracy, how can he be the opponent of the great nobles? In order to ensure their own status, these large noble families have conspiracies regarding the political situation. Those who are cunning have a perfect sense of smell. Gus has been the Pope for less than three years, and his overall view and ability are still not up to standard. Therefore, although his actions are very secretive, they still have subtle traces.

As the master of the country, the king has a wide intelligence network.

Moreover, the young king of Hollevan had an unforgettable hatred for Zoroastrianism.

The king noticed something was wrong from some slightly strange actions of the Zoroastrian Cult.

After further investigation, a lot of things were discovered.

As a king, he knows very well that a powerful Wealth God Cult does not meet the requirements of a ruler, but the Wealth God Cult that is independent of the world is at least much stronger than the Zoroastrian Cult and the wall-weed Storm God Cult.

If the other two sects had the prestige and capabilities of the Wealth God Sect now, maybe even the royal family would be wiped out.

However, the Wealth Cult still does not interfere in national politics, and has even written this provision into its doctrine.

There is a saying that "it all depends on peers", which is roughly the same thing.

Although the Wealth Cult's intelligence capabilities are not as good as the royal family's, that is because they focus on construction, but this does not mean that the Woking Cult will never discover the union of the two religions. Instead of waiting for the Wealth Cult to discover it themselves, It's better to tell them in advance to show off a favor.

This is what King Hollevan is thinking now.

Gus thought about it and couldn't determine who had leaked the secret, but now Beta has arrived, bringing the golden dragon, the pterodactyl knight, and the three armies surrounding him.

The Temple of Storms must make a decision.

The emergency meeting was held again, and Gus said the news he had just heard in the conference room with an almost black face.

After hearing this, all the archbishops were filled with indignation, and some even shouted directly: "Let's just fight Beta. It's too deceiving and goes too far."

But someone immediately threw cold water: "I still said what I said yesterday. No matter how you spell it, the opponent is a legendary level, still a dragon knight, and there are more than 60 pterosaurs stationed on the hill outside the city. Once we take action, the entire city will be full of people , can’t stop each other.”

"Then what should we do? Just let the other party play tricks on us?"

"Weakness is a sin. The other party dares to play with us like this, and we still have to have a meeting and quarrel here."

"You are very strong, so go ahead."

"When did I say I was powerful? We are all weak..."

"It doesn't matter if we fight now or if we don't fight. What do you think we should do?"

"I'm not the Pope, the Pope has the final say!"

More than a dozen archbishops were noisy, and the conference room was noisy like a vegetable market, accompanied by the sound of heavy slamming on the table.

Gus grew more and more annoyed as he listened. He was here to hear opinions, not to hear these people argue.

With magic attached to his hand, he smashed the table in front of him with a slap.

Pieces of wood and smoke flew everywhere, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"Now, everyone must discuss a suitable plan, otherwise our religion will be in danger." Gus looked at the others with red eyes: "No one can escape. If no result is obtained, no one can get out of this situation." Room."

Archbishops, you look at me, I look at you, no one says anything.

Gus continued to yell: "When the temple is in crisis, it's not for you to argue, but for you to come up with a solution. Don't you usually pride yourself on being smart? No one can come up with a plan now?"

Silence continued in the conference room.

Gus looked disappointed.

At this time, an old bishop suddenly spoke: "The more important the moment, the more the Pope's decision-making ability is tested. Our opinions are only trivial, your decision is the most important."

Gus looked at the old bishop. His name was Philip, and he was once a powerful contender for the Pope. The most critical vote was in the hands of Emma. At that time, Emma felt that Philip was too cruel and unsuitable to be a pope, so she voted for Gus.

Now that Phillip has jumped out, Gus has a feeling that something is not right.

"In other words, everything in the religion is now decided by me?"

Philip nodded: "Of course, your decision determines the future of our divine religion, so please consider it carefully!"

"In other words, you have no intention of taking responsibility?"

"Pope, you have misunderstood us." Philip said calmly: "Pope, if you decide to go to war, we will be prepared to die. If you decide to surrender, we will be prepared to donate gold coins to buy a way out."

Gus stared hard at Philip.

If the other party says it, he will be roasted on the fire.

The Pope makes a decision, so whether he wins or loses, the responsibility lies with the Pope, and they do not have to bear any cause and effect.

If you lose, throw the Pope towards the enemy and they will have a high chance of surviving.

If he wins... so what, the Pope is already at the highest position, can he still ascend to the sky?

"What if I want a war and let the Philip family take the lead?" Gus asked sinisterly.

"As you wish." Philip replied calmly, closing his eyes at the same time.

Gus took a deep breath and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the other archbishops present.

In a small manor about five hundred meters away from the Holy City of Storms, Beta was having breakfast with Emma and others.

Although the Storm God Cult is now forced to be nervous, there is still no shortage of etiquette.

The breakfast was delicious, and even with Beta's extremely picky taste buds, the pastries were delicious.

Most women like to eat sweets. Emma showed a happy expression after taking one bite, and Judy and Solilana were also similar.

After breakfast, Emma asked: "How do you think the Church of the Storm God should respond?"

After completely letting go of her obsession, Emma no longer considered the problem from the perspective of the Temple of Storms.

"They should be quarreling now." Beta thought for a while and said, "In two or three hours, someone will find a way to contact us secretly. Find a way to surrender to us."

Emma thought for a while and then asked: "What kind of decision do you think Pope Gus will make?"

"It's very likely that he won't do anything!" Beta smiled: "I think that person is the type who doesn't have much responsibility. I feel that he is a bit afraid of taking responsibility."

"I think he is quite responsible. He dared to criticize my policies in the past."

Emma frowned. She was not speaking for the Temple of Storms, but because Gus was chosen by her. When Beta said this about Gus, wasn't it a disguised way of saying that she didn't have a good eye for people?

Beta smiled and said: "Because you are easy to bully. You can tell by looking at it."

Emma pouted.

At this time, there was a noisy sound outside. After a while, a beautiful girl broke in. She was wearing a white short skirt with a full X, and her face was full of anger.

"Emma Watson, you are still not a human being. You actually brought foreign teachers to bully our Storm God Cult." The girl pointed at Emma with an angry look on her face: "Do you still have a conscience?"
