Quadruple split

Game time AM11:18

City of Light, in the center of the inner city, on the top floor of the Holy Union Cathedral, [Grand Prayer Room]

"That's all I have to say."

The nearly 200-year-old man breathed a sigh of relief, slowly raised his head and looked around, showing a gentle smile, indicating that he had nothing to add.

If you ignore the crown on his head that is so huge that it always feels like it can crush his thin neck, and the platinum scepter that is more than two meters high in his hand, this old lizard man with an unattractive appearance can be said to be inconspicuous. To the extreme, the kind that can't be found on the street within a minute. It's so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary.

But being able to sit in this place, this lizard man is obviously not an ordinary old man passing by. In fact, even if he searched the entire City of Light, it would be difficult to find an old man with such a respected status as him.

No matter how inconspicuous he looks, no matter how resembling his temperament is that of a retired farmer who is idle at home, it cannot change the fact that this old man is a former crowned sage and the spokesperson for the goddess of dawn.

St. Ambrose Achille, the current Pope of Dawn, sipped the fragrant tea, and his slightly cloudy eyes swept over the colleagues at the long table one by one. There was a smile in his eyes, but he smiled without saying a word.

Of course, although they are said to be 'colleagues', none of the four people around them believe in the goddess of dawn.

The Pope of the Sun Sect—Saint Anastas Silverspun.

The Pope of the Just Church - St. Tychus Folsom.

The Pope of the Wealth Sect - St. Rivigaz Goldmine.

The female pope of the Plenty Sect—Saint Alexta Redwing.

In addition to Pope Shuguang who had just finished his speech, five of the nine highest-ranking people in the entire Holy Church have gathered here.

"So, why didn't those four guys come?"

Silver Elf Anastas, who is at least two hundred years older than Saint Ambrose but looks much younger than the former, frowned: "Didn't you inform them, Ambrose?"

Pope Dawn looked calmly at the crown prince who had already sat on the throne of Pope Sun when he was young, and said lightly: "Of course I informed you, but according to the personalities of the four of them, it is normal for them to come, but you …Your Majesty Anastas, please don’t change the subject.”

"You are too serious, Your Majesty Ambroise."

Pope Sun sighed and said helplessly: "I remember the last time we got together, you still had a different attitude."

"Because this is a formal occasion."

Saint Ambrose shook his head and chuckled: "If you are willing to find a place to buy me a drink after leaving the big prayer room, you will find that I have no intention of becoming estranged from you unilaterally."

Saint Anastas nodded slightly and smiled on his face: "Well, in that case, I don't agree."

"You must agree, Your Majesty Anastas."

St. Ambrose leaned back in his chair and said in a calm tone: "We have all been young, and we should understand that what young people need most is space to develop. Only in this way will their potential not be wasted."

Anastas shook his head: "When I was as old as Pastor Black Van of your sect, I was still a trainee priest sweeping the floor at the door of the church every day."

"Then you're really miserable."

The Just Pope Saint Tychus smacked his lips and said something unexpectedly from the side.

"I mean, young people need to settle down."

Saint Anastas directly ignored the just Pope sitting opposite him, and said solemnly: "He still needs more experience, and rashly letting him shoulder too much responsibility will only..."

"In terms of experience, I believe you are all familiar with the disaster that occurred in Misha County a few months ago, and you should also know that the creator of that miracle was Pastor Hei Fan."

Saint Ambrose calmly interrupted Anastas, and said leisurely: "As for responsibilities and burdens...As a member of our Holy Religion United Northern Expedition, I helped Sumir, and even took advantage of the entire operation plan. The crusade achieved its strategic goal and eliminated 90% of the 'Whispering Sect' in the north at a very low cost. Do you think there is any responsibility that a person who can do such a thing cannot shoulder?"

Saint Anastas shook his head and retorted: "Even so, we can't..."

"OK OK."

As a human being, the Just Pope, who was as big as an orc, suddenly slapped the table and terminated the conversation between the two of them forcefully. He stroked his gray beard and hummed: "Let's stop talking about the scene. Since we want to talk, Let’s just talk about some real things, look at Alexta, she’s so bored that she fell asleep.”

As soon as the words fell, the red-haired half-dragon female pope who was lying on the table immediately straightened up and chuckled dignifiedly and elegantly: "I'm not asleep, Your Majesty Tychus, I just closed my eyes for a while to rest." Just a moment."

"Just say so..."

The Just Pope laughed dryly and rolled his eyes.

"But Tychus is right, your majesties."

The Pope of Wealth, who had not spoken much since just now, gestured with the large class finger on his thumb, held his chin and said in his slightly high-pitched voice: "We are all old friends, you can definitely speak more directly." Be fair, I, the Pope with hundreds of thousands of gold coins per second, didn’t come here just to listen to nonsense.”

The pope of the Wealth Sect looks much more noble than the Just Pope. Although he also wears a crown and a papal robe, every thread of his body is woven with the lost silk, and every magic pattern is Clothes drawn by Demon-gathering Stardust can have an astronomical cost. Even if you add up all the attire of the surrounding popes, you may not be able to afford a fraction of this papal attire called [Libra].

If you look at it from a player's perspective, aside from the dozens of powerful special effects, the basic attributes alone are almost ready to be used on a fully equipped T1 level player panel.

"In the name of my Lord Vanna, I don't miss every consultation not because I like meetings, but because there are probably benefits to be gained from them."

The Goblin Pope of the Wealth Sect lazily straightened up, crossed his legs and shrugged, "Please, your Majesty, please say something more substantive and nutritious."

Ambro and Anastas fell silent at the same time, and then...

"Okay, let's put it another way."

The Sun Pope was the first to break the silence and said in a deep voice: "As for what happened to Pastor Hei Fan before, although it was the personal behavior of Mr. Warrens Kalleni, and it was never authorized by me, the Pope, but considering that His motives, the Sun Sect will never shirk responsibility."

Pope Dawn nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Very good, in that case, the compensation we Dawn Sect hopes to get is that Sun Sect gives up the position of the leader of any joint directly affiliated legion, giving Pastor Hei Fan a chance to display his talents, and in We are fully cooperating in this process.”

"Kaleni Warrens has been excommunicated and will be dealt with by the Dawn Sect."

The Sun Pope narrowed his eyes and refused to give in: "But the influence of the person in charge of the direct legion is too great. After all, that Black Brahma is just an ordinary priest, and since he himself does not want to make the real situation on Sumir public, it is difficult to convince the public. .”

Pope Dawn nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "That's why we hope that the Sun Sect, which will never shirk its responsibilities, will try its best to coordinate and reduce the resistance to this matter as much as possible."

"Problems that coordination cannot solve."

The Sun Pope gently rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes: "This is not an opportunity that the young man can handle. We can give up the position of the person directly in charge of the legion, but the person who sits on it must at least be someone who can convince the crowd. Someone with sufficient qualifications and influence.”

Pope Dawn shook his head: "You know what we want."

"The Forgotten Saint is already influential enough, isn't she?"

The Sun Pope raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "And didn't we give the Dawn Sect a place before and gave the Black Van priest the opportunity to go to Academy City? Everyone knows the influence of that meeting. If he He does have enough talent, and maybe he will become famous soon.”

Saint Ambrose shook his head and smiled kindly: "Since hundreds of years ago, the focus of that event has not only been to 'discover talented young people', but also the character of Pastor Heifan is good-natured and uncompromising. Rob, who is even more low-key, how could he become famous? What's more, even if he does become famous, he will only be famous among the top leaders of major forces. That will only bring all kinds of unnecessary risks. It’s not what we want to see.”

The implication is very simple, that is, this matter is not good for spreading the gospel of the Goddess of Dawn, and it is difficult to increase the sect's popular influence and potential believers.

The Sun Pope, who looked to be in his fifties, smiled slyly: "Since you have said that the Black Vatican priest has a good-natured character, does not fight for anything, and is low-key, why do you still..."

"Because he can do it without fighting or grabbing it, but the Dawn Sect can't."

St. Ambrose told the plain truth.

Again, increasing one's own influence and never-ending efforts to develop followers are the core purpose of every religion, and the core purpose cannot be compromised. This is a truth that everyone here understands.

Is it utilitarian? It is very utilitarian, but everyone has similar ideas, so it is not utilitarian. After all, this is the foundation of each sect. In other words, we can't say that a person who is hungry and wants to eat is utilitarian, right?

The Sun Pope changed the topic and said softly: "But that despicable conspiracy was against the Black Van Priest, not..."

"It's even targeting the Dawn Sect."

The Dawn Sect shook his head, all the turbidity in his eyes faded, and said in a deep voice: "Pastor Hei Fan himself has no ability to investigate, but the Dawn Sect is different, so in other words, the person you want to negotiate with is not Hei Fan, but Hei Fan. It’s me as the Pope of Dawn, so…”

"So there is no need to consider what Pastor Hei Fan thinks."

Just Pope Tychus smacked his lips and said sadly: "It's really too bad."

Saint Ambrose and Saint Anastas tacitly ignored this old Gonghuo man who was full of bad intentions, and no one paid any attention to him.

"I'm in trouble."

The Sun Pope sighed softly, looking tired.

Although not many people know about it, the current Pope, who is the leader of the 'moderate faction', can indeed be said to be wiping someone else's butt at the moment. However, given that the 'other person' is also a member of the Sun Sect, he has to Go and wipe.

"If you all have difficulties, then as the pope of the Dawn Sect, which has been declining in the past few decades, I will only have more difficulties than you."

Pope Dawn said he also had difficulties.

"Considering the impact... well, don't look at me like that. I mean, considering the impact, the Sun Sect can't help Pastor Black Van complete too much additional handover work."

After a long silence, Saint Anastas straightened up and said seriously: "And the only thing we can give to that young man is [that place]."

"It would have been better if it had been this way."

The Pope of Wealth yawned and said with satisfaction: "Neither of them are good negotiators. If you are facing difficulties while others are facing difficulties, it is better to just show each other the bottom line."

"oh?"

Saint Ambrose raised his heavy eyelids and asked curiously: "What is [that place] you are talking about..."

"Stop asking questions knowingly."

The Sun Pope sighed and said bluntly: "Dumbuya City, the leader of the coalition forces there is Archbishop Jost of the Sun Sect. I can transfer him back to the Capital of Light and agree with the Dawn Sect to recommend Pastor Hei Fan. Go there and take over as commander in chief, that’s the bottom line.”

After saying this, Saint Anastas thought that the other party would be entangled, but unexpectedly Saint Ambrose nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then let's wait until Pastor Black Van comes from Academy City. Arrange for him to come over when he comes back."

The Sun Pope suffocated slightly and said in surprise: "Ambro, are you serious?"

The latter nodded calmly and replied: "Yes, I am serious."

"You should know where that is."

Pope Sun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't be carried away by the bargain we just made. Think about whether Pastor Heifan would have come back alive if he had gone there. He is a young man that the Dawn Sect wants to cultivate. , he is the companion of your Forgotten Saint, are you sure you want to send him there?"

Pope Shuguang laughed dumbly, spread his hands and said: "There is no other way, you are not willing to give me another place."

"I am the pope and I have to do what the pope should do. I can stress again that Doumbouya is the bottom line."

Saint Anastas patted the table lightly and said: "But I also don't want a talented young man to take risks there because of the interests on the negotiation table. He is indeed likely to increase the influence of Dawn Sect in the future. The young man whose strength makes us wax and wane is also a member of the Holy Religion Union. I am not Warrens Kalleni, and I don’t want him to die in the hands of those evil and depraved blood barbarians!”

“But your bottom line is the city of Doumbouya.”

"right."

"Then Hei Fan will go to Doumbuya City."
