Chapter 387
Some people also disagreed with him. A bishop stood up and said strangely, "Tyres, when did your Inquisition pay attention to evidence?" Tyrs said, "Send me, do you also want to abolish the saint?" The man hummed and said, "Of course not." Tyrs continued, "We know very well that Her Royal Highness is that her faith in the God of Light is absolutely firm, and it is impossible to do the thing of betraying God in the name of the oracle." McCas said, "I know you don't want to believe it, but the truth is that our saint has lost the power to communicate with the gods." Everyone was shocked, and a bishop stood up and said, "Your Excellency, are you serious?" McCas said, "How can I make fun of such a thing? For three days in a row, she couldn't give even one oracle. Charin, Duke of Alda, can testify. If you don't believe it, you can ask her yourself. Well, do you know what the excuse is that she can't get the oracle? It turned out that the God of Light was too busy to deal with it! Will you believe this absurd reason?
When the priests heard what he said solemnly, they had to believe it and talked about it for a while: "Your Excellency, how could Your Highness suddenly lose your ability?" McCas looked at Tyres and said, "Parch Tyres, you know the history of the temple like the back of your hand. Let me tell you what causes this." Tyrs's face turned pale and said, "There is only one possibility that she is no longer pure, and the God of Light doesn't want to see her." Everyone was shocked and began to talk again. McCas said, "Salm. Everyone, now you should know that the rumors are not false. Alas, this is also my unfavorable supervision. I believe too much in her belief in God. Now that it is like this, there is no choice but to abolish her status and wash her sins with the sacred flame. Tyrs's expression was gloomy. He clenched his fist and shouted, "Damn it, this witch who turned her back on the gods, I'm going to burn her to death." Seeing that he gritted his teeth and looked more gloomy than usual, the priests couldn't help but be frightened and left a little farther away. Gulanad knew how horrible Tyrs was, and his heart became more and more anxious.
A cardinal stood up and said, "But what a major event is the abolition of the saint? It is inevitable to announce the whole continent, and there is not enough reason to explain it at all. Although our reasons are sufficient, once it is announced, it will be a big blow to the reputation of our temple. Believers will say that the saints of the temple are not pure, so how can they ask us to obey the rules of the temple? Everyone nodded, and McCas sighed, "Of course I know the consequences. But now we have no other way. At that time, I will personally apologize to the believers of the whole continent. I believe that part of the loss can still be recovered. I swear to you that in my lifetime, I will definitely save the reputation I lost today. Everyone was silent, and Gulanad sighed secretly in his heart and thought, "The overall situation has been decided, and the two of them are going to suffer."
After a while, someone asked, "But as soon as Emil is gone, we can't communicate with the God of Light. How can this problem be solved?" McCas said, "That's a good question. I already have a candidate, that is, Princess Lindis of Arda. She was the real candidate for this saint. Because of Emperor Arda's request, we chose another person. Now it's time to let her come back. A priest said, "Now that Emperor Arda is about to Die, Lindis is the only heir to the throne. How can she promise to come to the temple as a saint? When she comes, won't Arda be ruled by anyone?" McCas said, "Don't worry, I have arranged that the Duke of Charlin was left by me, and I'm going to let his family inherit the status of the royal family. The Yarda royal family was originally supported by our temple, and it's not a big deal to change another family now. What's more, the Charin family is also a branch of the royal family, which is not an outsider. If you don't have different opinions, we will do it tomorrow. At that time, I will summon you in advance and go to the Holy Lady's Hall to ask about the oracle. If she can't give it, she will be abolished immediately. The priests talked for a while and agreed. McCas stood up and walked to Gulanad and said, "Go back and control the Knights. Don't let Rick use his power to make trouble, understand?" Gulanad was worried when he came. He was relieved and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I won't give him any chance." McCas smiled and said, "I'm relieved that you said that. Remember, when Rick leaves, you will be the new leader." As he spoke, he turned around and left the conference room. The priests continued to shout, but had no intention of leaving. Gulanad struggled for a long time in his heart and finally made a decision. He couldn't sit down anymore. He stood up and quickly walked out. As soon as he left, the Pope immediately came out of the back door and stopped the crowd.
......
Rick woke up from his sleep, looked out, and saw Gulanad standing out of the window. He quickly got up and laughed, "Gulanad, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Could it be..." "Fuck you, I'm not interested in that." Gulanad interrupted him angrily and said, "I'm here to save your life. Do you know that the Pope is ready to take action against you? Rick restrained his smile and said, "What are you talking about?" Gulanad snorted and told what he had seen and heard in the conference room just now. Rick frowned, said silently, and then suddenly sneered. Gulanad said angrily, "I took a great risk to inform you that you can still laugh. Don't waste time here. Hurry up and pick up Emil. Run away overnight. It's too late tomorrow. Rick smiled and said, "This is exactly what the Pope asked me to do." Gulanad was puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"
Rick smiled and said, "Don't you think it's strange? They know that you are my good friend and will inform me. Why do they let you attend the meeting? Gulanad suddenly said, "Yes, I was so anxious that I didn't notice this." Rick sneered and said, "They are too self-righteous. If I can't even see through this scheme and was captured and killed by Stoke that morning, how can they live until now?" Gulanad said, "So what are you going to do now to adapt to the changes?" Rick thought for a moment and smiled, "No, I got their mind. I have guessed a few points about their means, but unfortunately they made a mistake, which made the plan doomed to failure. Gulanad was very clear about Rick's ability. He must be sure that he said so. He exhaled and said, "Since you have arranged something, I'll go back first." Rick nodded, went out the door, and rushed in the direction of the Holy Lady's Hall. Shortly after Gulanad returned to his residence, several cardinals came and urged him to gather all the knights. Gulanad did not refuse, and immediately woke up the sleeping knights. Several bishops picked some people from the Knights and took them out, leaving a bishop to monitor the remaining thousands of team members.
Rick strode to the Holy Lady's Hall. Two bodyguards stepped forward to stop him. He was knocked unconscious by one by one of them and went straight into the inner house. Several priests were awakened. Seeing him rushing in, they were shocked and hurried forward to stop him, but it was not Rick's enemy. He easily knocked unconscious by him and fell to the ground. Finally, he shocked Emile. Emil came out of the apse and saw that it was Rick. He was shocked and said, "Brother, what are you doing?" Rick walked over and said, "Emile, it's time for us to leave the Holy Mountain." Emil was shocked again and said, "What are you talking about?" Rick said, "Go and change your clothes first, and I'll tell you more about it." He grabbed Emil's hand and walked back, and quickly returned to Emile's bedroom. Emile changed his clothes and asked, "Brother, what's going on?" Rick said, "The Pope is ready to take action against us, and the top of the temple has agreed to his decision." Emile was stunned and said, "Why? We have the oracle of the Light God. Rick said, "What's the use if they don't believe it? Anyway, we will leave sooner or later, and now it's just a little earlier. As he spoke, he looked at Emil's stomach. Emil blushed and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Soon after changing his clothes, Rekra took Emil's hand, went out of the Holy Lady's Hall, went all the way down the mountain, and soon came to the order training ground. Hundreds of knights were neatly arranged in front of them. They did not ride a war horse but carried the knight's sword. The sword had been pulled out and flashed in the light of the moon. In the middle are Pope McCas and all the cardinals, as well as several old knights and old mages living in seclusion on the Holy Mountain, all of whom are not weak. When Emil saw such a big scene, she couldn't help feeling a little timid. Rick grabbed her hand and comforted her, "It's okay. I knew it would be like this. They couldn't help us." Seeing that he was so calm, Emile was also reassure and was taken forward by Rick to stand in front of the crowd. McCas said loudly, "Cam Rick, where are you going so late?" Rick laughed and said, "I heard that someone is playing monkeys here. I came here to watch it, but I didn't expect that the Pope was here. It's really disrespectful." Everyone showed some anger. McCas snorted and said, "Bring the saint here in the middle of the night, Rick, what on earth do you want to do?" Rick smiled and said, "It's strange enough for you to line up here in the middle of the night. To be honest, I'm going to take Emile down the mountain. I don't know what you think? McCas said, "Are you going to betray the temple?" Rick sneered, "I have never been loyal to the temple at all, and I can't talk about betraying. I'm going down the mountain, and those who stop me will die!" After saying that, he slowly pulled out his sword and pulled Emile to the crowd.
The Pope and the priests retreated to the knights and shouted loudly: "The Knights of the Temple, Rick, betrayed the temple, kidnapped the saint, and killed them." Emile said loudly, "I was not kidnapped. I volunteered." Everyone was just looking for an excuse, but they would not listen to her. The priests immediately sent blessings and greatly improved the strength of the knights in front of them. Under the leadership of several old men, the knights bravely went up and killed their immediate superiors. These knights were cronies that the Pope had already solicited in advance. They were separated from Rick and never show mercy. Dozens of mages around him held their wands, drew cold ones to attack, and hit Rick. McCas held the pope's scepter and issued several spells in a row, which also attacked Rick with incomparably accurate. For a while, there were many crises, and the two of them had fallen to death.
Rick pushed Emil away and drew his sword with a sneer. After a dragon chant, the elemental fighting air spewed out. With a wave of the sword, it was extremely fierce, and blood flowers bloomed everywhere he went. Rick sneered and just rushed forward. It was not that everyone couldn't hit him, but his defense ability and self-healing ability were too strong to take it seriously at all. After a moment of fighting, he lay on the ground, and Rick couldn't breathe, and his face didn't change. McCas turned pale with anger, waved the Pope's scepter to bring out divine light, and hit Rick crazily. Rick's face became solemn, and dozens of fighting spirits were blown out one after another. Emil lost no time to release the magic cooperation and forcibly dispersed the divine light. The scepter kept covering Rick with the divine light and entangling him. Suddenly, a cold arrow quickly shot out and went straight to Emil. The arrow was like thunder and lightning, which could not be avoided. But at the moment when he was about to shoot, Emil suddenly reached out and grabbed the long arrow in his hand. McCas and several cardinals couldn't believe their eyes and stopped attacking for a moment. They wanted to kill Emil in the chaos, claiming that Rick had taken away the saint and was killed by mistake in the process of blocking, which was better than the saint's loss of virginity. How could I know that Emile's Wang Tian performed the strongest Dharma ceremony so far. Her strength was really great. Although the arrow was fast, how could she escape her perception? Take a step back and say that even if it is really shot, it is rare to hurt her.
Although Rick knew that they could not hurt Emil, he couldn't help but be furious when he saw this with his own eyes. He sneered, "Good means, Pope McCas. Unfortunately, you don't have enough information. We have been blessed by the God of Light. Can't you stop it? Get out of the way and let us go down the mountain, or I will kill you all over the field. McCas was shocked and angry, and didn't care about any tricks. He raised his scepter and shouted loudly, "They have been possessed by the devil and killed them with all their strength--" The crowd shouted one after another and rushed up again. Rick smiled, pulled Emile, and went away. He swished his three swords and killed the elders of several knights into serious injuries. The rest of them lost their courage and avoided them one after another. Rick came to the Pope in just three steps, stabbed him with a sword, put it against his throat, and sneered, "Your Excellency, it's useless to talk on paper after all. You don't know my real strength at all, which is your failure.
McCas stared at him, and his hand holding the scepter trembled, not knowing whether it was anger or fear. After all, Emil was kind. Seeing the bloody look on his chest, he couldn't help but feel compassion and said, "Let him go, Rick, he can't stop us anymore. Anyway, he is always the leader of the temple. We shouldn't kill him. Rick's long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, and his hatred for McCas was not so deep. He said, "Well, I'll listen to you. But..." He suddenly stabbed a heavy sword, smashed the Pope's scepter, put away his sword, and smiled, "This thing is too threatening. It's better to destroy it." When McCas saw that the identity symbol that accompanied him for hundreds of years was broken into pieces, he was really heartbroken and became more and more angry. Rick ignored him and pulled Emil down the mountain.
Somewhere in the residential area, the temporary residence of Duke Charin, he finally barely fell asleep in the middle of the night, but as soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by several attendants and told him that the Pope was summoned. As he cursed in his heart, he asked his entourage to change his clothes and followed the two knights sent by the temple to the papal palace. McCas sat in the living room waiting for him, his face was a little pale, and there were several cardinals next to him, all of whom looked very tired. Duke Charlem saluted and said, "Your Excellency, what's the matter with inviting me so late?" McCas said, "The traitor Rick kidnapped the saint and escaped from the Holy Mountain. Now that the saint is vacant, we need Princess Lindis to take office immediately. Let's talk about your opinion. The Duke of Charin had been informed of the decision of the temple. He knew that he might become the emperor of Arda. What would he have any opinion? At this moment, he was refreshed and drowsed. He said, "I can go back to Dabson immediately. As long as the Pope acts according to the previous arrangement, I think Her Royal Highness Princess Lindis can go to the Holy Mountain within a week. It's done." McCas was satisfied and said, "Very good. I will send two more bishops for you to act. You must make sure that you are foolproof. As for the whereabouts of Stoke and Cantel, we can naturally reply to you as soon as Lindis arrives.
Charin encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and his behavior became vigorous. After saying goodbye to the Pope, he magically summoned the family of Dabson, and the whole family immediately began to move with the support of the church. On the second day of Charlin's return, the old emperor died in time. With the support of the temple, he moved all night, either forced, perhaps willing, or killed, and pulled all the living magnates to his side. By dawn, he became the de facto Charin I. Two days later, Princess Lindis's car drove to the Holy Mountain under the protection of the Royal Knights. In addition, Lindis's father, Gustin, disappeared and disappeared from then on.
......
Lindis was previously the best candidate for the saint, with excellent qualifications. Although she did not want to delay deliberately, she quickly mastered the magic and the prayer of light. That day, when McCas learned the news, he took the cardinals to the temporary residence of Lindis. As soon as Lindis saw their lineup, she knew that the time to become a saint had finally arrived. Sure enough, McCas said, "Your Highness Princess Lindis, we are here to welcome you to the Holy Lady's Hall. Please come with us." Lindis was robbed of the country by him. How could she have a good look? She said coldly, "Your Excellency, your methods are really skillful." McCas knew that she was being sarcastic and didn't care. He said, "It's not smart. We have no choice but to. I hope the princess can understand. There are two things you may not know. One is that you are the saint of my temple, but because of your grandfather's plea, we chose Emil in consideration of the inheritance of your royal family. Another thing is that the last time the Arda royal family took refuge in the Holy Mountain, I had signed a contract with your grandfather before I went to Heidix to help you mediate. Now that the traitor in my temple has unfortunately taken away the saint, I have to ask you to fulfill the contract. Lindis listened to him solemnly and believed it in her heart, but said, "My grandfather is dead. Naturally, you can say whatever you want."
