To Four Thousand Years Later

When they heard that the pope wanted to hold a banquet, the archbishops were still talking about it, and couldn't help laughing at the pope's stupidity and lack of enlightenment. At this time, if he waited quietly to die, maybe he could give A decent ending. At least his son will not suffer for nothing, and he can retain his position as archbishop. Then there is still a 1/10000 possibility for him to come back from Ambrose Monastery in the future.

But almost no one still thinks that their Pope still has the possibility of a comeback.

Not even the slightest bit. The cardinals thought so too.

A thirteen-mounted giant white ball charges and rides on the face, how can it lose? People can almost be sure that Pope Hector will be judged guilty by everyone during Tiberius' conclave! Because he must be guilty. After all, the political situation in the Theocracy of Solomon. It has become so intense that the cardinals collectively attack the pope, and the final result has nothing to do with the nearly boiling public opinion.

Just two days ago, in order to prevent the Pope from suddenly drawing any cards that could turn the tables, the cardinals locked him up in advance and sent him a confession.

As long as he signs it, it is tantamount to acknowledging that he is from the Rose Order. And all the identification of Pope Borgia is slander. Of course Hector III would not sign it, because he knew he was innocent. He himself knew this, and so did the cardinals... even quite a few archbishops knew that the pope was innocent.

But so what?

Innocent or not, the pope cannot satisfy the archbishops. Can't get the cardinal satisfied... that's enough. If you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuse?

It was not because the Pope planned to establish the true Rosicrucian sect that they attacked him violently. At that time the cardinals almost beat their brains to run for Pope. They each have forces behind them, so they all hope to become the new Pope—even Pope Borgia came from the Zuorank Republic, and the Pope of the previous generation was a shareholder of the First Medici Bank. Hector III became Pope not because of his excellence...precisely because of his incompetence.

It seems that he can be controlled by the cardinals, and he is placed in front as a puppet. Anyway, government affairs should be discussed by the cardinals and be influenced by them.

But at this time, Hector III showed strong resistance.

At first, when he gave Leonardo the cardinal ring, the other cardinals thought that Hector III was the spokesperson of the Leonardo consortium. Therefore, they are also a lot more cautious... They and the people behind them are also trying to analyze what Leonardo wants to do from Hector III's policy ratio. Until last year, when Hector III was resisted and fought back for amending the law. Leonardo didn't say anything; and when he tried to re-elect grassroots officials, he was regarded as right by other cardinals. Leonardo at that time. The cardinals finally confirmed that Leonardo had nothing to do with Hector III. Many aggressive administrations of Hector III. Just because it's a pure fool. It's not for gaining the right to speak at all, nor is it for gaining prestige or attacking political opponents... He really says what he thinks and does what he says.

This almost made the Cardinals laugh angrily.

We regard you as an enemy, if you are really just lucky? Accepting Leonardo's gift, and then granting him a cardinal ring, isn't it because you have been in touch for a long time, but because you simply want to give him a ring?

But after that, they suddenly reacted.

From... If you take the opportunity to become the pope to escape the control of the forces behind you, is there a trick? In the past ten years, if they hadn't become Pope, basically there would be no good ending. This generation of popes is coming to an end, but the election of the next pope is another **** fight... Those who are on the wrong team, those who are sacrificed, and those who are liquidated afterwards. How many of these thirteen people will we see next year on Holy Day? two? three?

They have been pushed to the limit by the people behind them, so can four of them survive until next year? As for the Pope, can he really get rid of the control of the great power behind him and be freed from the state of a puppet? I don't know who was the first to figure it out: let's just forget about being Pope. From now on, the highest authority in this country is the cardinal. In this way, no one will die because of the wrong line.

But in this way, another problem is ushered in. At that time, how can we be sure that no one will try to sit on the Pope?

If there is no preparation in advance, there will be almost no resistance in the election of the Pope in the face of premeditated political opponents.

So someone put forward a bold opinion: we might as well link our thoughts together.

Use the holy things to provide energy to build an unprecedented grand ceremony. Blending the psychic energy of everyone together, making everyone the only one at the level of consciousness, can guarantee that everyone will not die, and will not be used as a way to silence Ni Puppet. As long as oml continues to maintain the apparent balance, the hands behind the winner will not dare to move; and the loser will not die. It looks like everyone is locked in the same cage, but in fact they have unshackled each other.

Which is more important, freedom or life? At the final voting stage of the secret meeting, when everyone lifted the sign in front of them, it said "freedom"

Once you make up your mind, the rest is much easier. Each of these cardinals is an awakened one. Each of them is a smart person...so lucky to be a puppet. When many smart people put their heart and soul into research, they quickly got the results.

- They opened up the heart. At that moment, they seemed to have become gods.

Their thinking breaks away from the constraints of their own bodies, and they stand on a higher place; their thinking speed is many times faster, and any topic will be answered in a very short discussion. The minority obeys the majority. They act in such a wise way.

As long as they don't go too far, the Mind Council can control the bodies of thirteen people at the same time. Any of their opinions are the "wisest" results of their votes.

Including imprisoning the Pope. Including allowing the Pope to send a letter to Leonardo

They will accurately calculate the delivery time of the letter to ensure that when Leonardo's convoy arrives in Theocracy, everything will be settled. But it won't be too long. They must give Leonard this face, even if the pope is not his person, but he is the main investment of the Theocracy after all... It is necessary to tell him about such a big matter as changing the pope. And now that the district machine has already torn face with the Pope, they will no longer allow the Pope to have any possibility of a comeback.

In order to prevent the Pope from suing Leonardo afterwards, Leonardo discovered that the delivery time of the letter was deliberately staggered by half a day—after all, Leonardo was an inventor and the owner of a multinational consortium. A rich man, an artist... how would he know that it would take more time for a letter to travel from Vienna to Florence? It's normal to be delayed for a day or two on the road.

But although it is unlikely that Leonardo could calculate this. The cardinals still intend to overestimate Leonardo's wisdom as much as possible. They planned to publicly assassinate Pope Hector in the Holy Council, as long as Pope Hector III was assassinated when he was at a disadvantage in the voting stage. People don't care who assassinated him at all.

But the problem now is that

The Pope is not dead.

Cardinals are dead. On the second day of the pope's banquet, that is, the day before Tiberius' Synod, all the cardinals were found poisoned to death in their own homes.

…How is this possible?

People just can't believe it.

It's not because they believe that the pope's character won't be poisoned... but because these cardinals are simply impossible to be killed. Even a mortal monarch would not be poisoned long ago! Since Roman times, there has been magic that can detect poison. Even if it is impolite to use magic spells at some banquets, do these cardinals still talk to the pope who is imprisoned by themselves? Every one of them can detect poisonous magic spells, and everyone can detect malicious gods. The pope was detained in their place and guarded by their people. The people who cooked and provided the food were all cardinals. How did they die?

Was it not the Pope who poisoned them? There is one more day to the Holy Synod.

But who will preside over the ceremony?

The **** referee is dead?

All of a sudden, the entire Theocracy fell into chaos.

At this time, His Excellency Leonardo happened to be inspecting his property in a town on the way, and happened to meet a messenger who was going to live in Florence to deliver a letter to him, and he happened to be with his wife Yastalo rise.

So the respected His Excellency Leonardo intercepted this letter, and gently said that you can go back and forth, and that he will go to the Theocracy soon, you can arrange these two things first and press this If the time is estimated, Leonardo's arrival in the Theocracy will be one day earlier than the cardinals originally planned.

In other words, Leonardo will come to the Theocracy tonight... the day before Tiberius' Synod Day.

The courier's plan was also completely disrupted. The young lad was frightened by the unexpected. He must return to the Holy Kingdom as soon as possible, and discuss with the cardinals, "Although the letter was delivered a day late, Leonardo arrived a day earlier, how should we deal with this situation?"

Although he was flustered, he wasn't too uneasy. Because he knew that the cardinals were watching him from behind him.
