Chapter 126 ascending the throne

Behind the Corse Palace, in the dark pope's bedroom, Arnold came to greet his grandfather. He also stepped back and left, and came forward alone to hold the old pope's hand. This scene is almost exactly the same as when Chris came.

"Grandpa, have you been feeling better recently?" Arnold asked with a caring face, and anyone could see his filial piety.

"Arnold, how's your father?" The old pope smiled and asked his grandson. He, who was seriously ill, now seemed to care about his son.

"Father is fine, but he is busy with official business and can't come to visit you." Arnold bowed his head and said that he did not tell the old pope the news of Chris's death.

"Did your father tell you about the secrets of the Holy Empire, my grandson?" Seeing the ring symbolizing the pope on Arnold's hand, a trace of alert flashed in the eyes of the old pope.

"Secret? Grandpa, what's the secret? Can you tell me?" Arnold seemed to ask casually that his father really didn't reveal anything.

"Hahahaha, child, your father, Chris, is he no longer alive?" The old pope seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength and asked.

"Grandpa, Sun'er really dares not lie to you. His father was indeed assassinated. The assassin deceived his father with the news of your death. The father approached the assassin careless, so he fell into the sword and died in Sun's arms." Arnold said very calmly, as if nothing had anything to do with him.

"Did your father tell you anything before he died?" The old pope continued to ask.

"I said a lot. He said that he would give me the Holy Empire and let me take good care of you. There are also some small things, such as telling me to eat on time, take good care of myself and so on." Arnold was very involved, and he had to find a reasonable excuse for his legal take over of the empire.

"So, is it my turn now?" The Pope asked calmly, "Arnold, you killed your father. Do you want to kill me now?"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Arnold asked strangely, pretending not to know why.

"Hahaha, good grandson, when your father died, he thought I was dead, and he was the only one who knew the secrets of the Holy Empire. How could he tell you to eat well without telling you the secrets of the empire?" The Pope looked at his grandson and said with a smile.

"Since Grandpa already knows, please tell him the secret of our empire, which is about to ascend the throne as a winner." Arnold no longer disguised himself and looked at his grandfather coldly.

Unfortunately, when he found something was wrong and came forward, he found that the old pope had stopped breathing in laughter, and his wrinkled face was still full of smiles.

"The bodyguard, doctor, the Pope is a little bad!" Arnold hurriedly called people in. He didn't want the old man to come into the coffin with a secret.

A few minutes later, a group of subordinates knelt in front of Arnold, proving that the 27th of Dovilia was indeed hopeless. The ruler of the once largest empire in the continent of Asia, the shrewd old pope of the Holy Empire, stopped breathing forever when he was 70 years old.

In his twilight years, he looked at the rivers and rivers of his empire. The Adams chaos made the Pope anxious, and the competition for power also made him physically and mentally exhausted. But what he never expected was that at the last moment of his life, he still could not enjoy a moment of peace, and the white-haired man sent him away. The black-haired man, in the end, actually saw through his grandson's lies and was killed by the cruel killing of his relatives.

A few days later, the two highest figures of the Holy Empire died one after another. The gods were created in 36180. On November 14, 1575, the Lord of the Yavia continent, the Pope of the Holy Empire, His Majesty the 27th Kaf Lanci Dovilla, died.

If Chris's death brings infinite grief to the whole Holy Empire, then the death of the old pope is an infinite loss to the whole Holy Empire. The secret of the god ring was brought into the tomb by the poor old man, and at the same time took away the prestige and deterrence accumulated for decades. These things could not be done by a young new pope. Arnold's intention was not to kill the old pope at this time, but he still had to accept such a Cruel facts.

In the wailing of honoring the old pope, the twenty-eighth pope in the history of the Holy Empire ascended his throne, and Arnold Rancy Dovilla formally became the ruler of the whole Holy Empire. His first edict after taking power was to make his father, Chris, who died young, the 28th generation of the Holy Empire, and he became the 29th generation of Dovilia.

In front of a mountain shouting His Majesty Arnold's long-year-old officials, Arnold felt that his throne was so hot that the blue veins on his hands grasping the high chair armrests were exposed, and the burning feeling came from his palms. He feels very bad, very bad.

When the following bishops handed over a full year's report to His Majesty the new Pope, Arnold knew how critical the empire he inherited was facing. Food production fell by 50% and the population fell by more than 30%. It was a bleak financial figure, which could be described as a four-sided critical situation militarily. He hardly Feeling the joy of the upper position, I threw myself into the endless movement to make up for the mistakes of tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall.

However, Arnold had a good helper. Sloc, the archbishop in charge of the empire's economy, was loyal to Arnold. For this reason, his grandson, John, the patriarch of the future family, won the position of legion commander of the newly formed 79th Legion of the Holy Empire. Subsequently, the muce also announced that the divine punishment would fully support Arnold. In addition, Archbishop Krust, who was personally supported, stood firmly behind Arnold. The statement of the three archbishops made the new pope Arnold sit on the throne. For a moment, he was a little proud and selectively forgot many unpleasant problems, such as Military service and war.

Arnold then accepted Archbishop Slock's suggestion and took stricter care of the Count Lin Feng's family. As a last resort, he used it as a bargaining chip to seek peace with the Eternal Night Empire. This news was sent back to Rome Island by Violet Anne, who was fully loyal to Arcado, and when Arcado knew the news, it was another scene.

After hearing the news of the death of the old pope, many southern provinces, which were still stable, had organized riots, and a large number of soldiers who had just been conscripted to fight against the invasion of the Eternal Night Empire were forced to suppress the local riots on the spot. The adverse consequences of this change directly led to Leon Barton's struggle on the southern front. Now he has to turn to defensive operations to preserve his strength and wait for reinforcements.
