quicksilver blood

Chapter 485 Trap
When Kasaka returned to the dome cathedral, he unexpectedly found that he had not come back too early.

To be precise, except for him and that guy Xila, the other cardinals have already returned.

After he pushed open the door, he happened to see that guy Guderian walking in with his back turned to him.

"Master Guderian!"

Without thinking, Kasaka called out to the Supreme Bishop whom he had hardly seen very often.

As the first bishop in the Church of Tire after Jupiter IV, Cardinal Guderian did not communicate with them very often.

But few people know that this seemingly ordinary and slightly stern old man in front of him is actually one of the behind-the-scenes masters of all the powerful people in Bansa.

It was also after Kasaka was punished by Jupiter IV that time, when Guderian came to talk to him, he vaguely touched some shadows of this supreme bishop with a rather weak sense of existence.

Since then, he has been wary of Guderian and paid special attention to his movements.

Kasaka noticed that even before Jupiter IV disappeared, Guderian had been secretly trying to contact some bishops.When the other cardinals learned about this matter one by one through their own channels, Guderian had won the support of the vast majority of bishops and the loyalty of the three cardinals.

It was his abnormal behavior that made Kasaka realize that Jupiter IV might be in danger.

However, not only him at that time, but even now, he still couldn't understand what kind of existence could pose a threat to Jupiter IV, so much so that he killed him and even made Tire lose got in touch.

The only thing he knows is that their Supreme Bishop must know something.Otherwise, he couldn't have pulled the team to get ready to go when Jupiter IV had just left.

The reason why Kasaka lost his composure at the end of the first round of voting was because he knew that only in the chaotic first round of voting could he have the possibility of taking the Pope directly with a quick break. In the protracted war, Kasaka is at a disadvantage compared to Guderian, no matter the handle he has and the benefits he can give.

If it is still a normal voting session, then Kasaka and Guderian are naturally competitors, mortal enemies who cannot tolerate each other.

But things are different now.

The country pastor named "Roland" who didn't know where he came from, used the means of building momentum as soon as he came to Frankfurt to directly take down the Pope.

In the past two days, the more Kasaka thought about it, the more wrong he became, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

——No, Roland, as the pope, does not have any rights in the process of the circumambulation ceremony. How can it be said that the circumambulation ceremony can be held normally only with his gift?
Moreover, how can there be any claim that the Pope himself presided over the ceremony of deposing himself?
In other words, when the Pope personally intervened in the ring ceremony and received acquiescence, the ring ceremony had lost its meaning of existence.This is equivalent to saying that even if the Pope has nothing special, his charisma is still enough to lead the College of Cardinals.

Now, Kasaka knew very well that his only chance to come back was to, together with all the cardinals, decide on the candidate for the next Pope before the second voting began.

In his opinion, whether he or Guderian became the Pope, it was better than letting that unknown guy seize the entire Church of Tyre.

Kasaka is very clear-if he wants to come back, the first thing he will fight for is Guderian.

All the cardinals know that the promotion of three cardinals is closely related to Guderian, and those three can be said to belong to Guderian's faction and obey Guderian's orders.

If he can get the support of Guderian, then he will have at least four votes, plus his own votes, it can basically be said to be stable.

However, he first wanted to win the support of Guderian——

Hearing Kasaka's call, Guderian turned his head and asked with a gentle smile: "What's wrong, Cardinal Kasaka?"

His response immediately stunned Kasaka, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.

The Supreme Bishop in his impression was a man with gloomy thoughts and a serious expression, squinting his eyes almost all the time, with high and protruding cheekbones like an eagle.But the moment he turned around, Kasaka almost thought he saw another Roland.

...Could it be that Roland had some kind of control over Guderian's spirit?
Thinking of the ability of Jupiter IV, Kasaka suddenly retreated.He began to question his choice just now.

But facing Guderian who was looking at him with a smile, Kasaka realized that if he didn't say anything at this moment, he would look abnormal instead.

He quickly thought about it, and then asked a question without changing his face: "We all know that you are the one with the longest seniority among us, and you are also the believer second only to the former Pope. In the name of Tyr, I want to Let me ask you...what do you think of our new pope?"

"What do you think? To Your Majesty Roland?"

Guderian thought for a while, and then said Kasaka's unexpected words: "I don't think he is a good person."

"Oh?"

Kasaka's voice subconsciously rose two beats, and then he immediately realized that his reaction was too obvious, coughed twice, and then asked again with a suppressed voice: "Why did you say that?"

"He is indeed not a good person. Greedy, ruthless, crazy, vicious - if he is not the Pope, but an ordinary priest, I would probably have excommunicated him long ago."

Guderian replied seriously.

His words made Kasaka's mood jump a little bit.

Although he still doesn't quite understand the reason for Guderian's sudden change in temperament, this does not prevent him from winning Guderian's support for his plan.

Kasaka took another two steps and asked: "So, do you think His Majesty Roland has the qualifications to become Pope?"

"Then I want to ask you, do you think His Majesty Roland has the qualifications to become Pope?"

Guderian asked back.

There was a slight warning in Kasaka's heart, but he quickly dispelled his thoughts.

Ever since he entered the cathedral, he had felt a languid sense of ease, which calmed his mind but dulled his mind.

"I'm the opposite of what you think. His Majesty Roland is wise, decisive, powerful and courageous. If it were someone else, maybe I would really support him to become Pope."

"Oh? Then what qualifications do you think he has that he is not satisfied with?"

"Crazy and ostentatious."

Kasaka replied without thinking: "He is too unsteady in what he does. He has to do a lot of things extravagantly...but in fact it is not necessary at all, but he always does it for everyone to know."

As he said this, he suddenly felt a silvery white light flashing in Guderian's eyes, but when he looked closely, he found that there was no such light.

Probably an illusion.

He comforted himself who was suddenly a little uneasy.
