I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 176 Death of the Princess

When the last ray of dusk fell into the night, the reactions of the major churches to the purge order had become clear. What made the Dawn Cult relieved was that except for the Church of the Dead and the Church of War which clearly supported the faith of the subordinate gods under their main god and resolutely protected those evil sects, the rest of the churches were willing to join the Dawn's action.

In this way, their crackdown will surely be much smoother, at least in most of the parishes in the Weir world there will be no place for those plague makers.

But when Phil Gray heard Vincent say with a smile that most churches' response was to support the crackdown, he had a moment of doubt in his heart. Did the Dream Cult also support Dawn's actions?

In his past experience, this church that was good at creating illusions had done many bad things with those who created the plague, the Bloody Plague. How could it stand against them?

Thinking of this, he also asked.

Vincent's expression became serious and he nodded. "It is indeed very suspicious, but in the afternoon, the Dream Cult sent a message that it would join Dawn's clearing operation. Although we have some doubts about its intentions, we can't disagree, right? We just need to be more vigilant from now on."

"Ah."

While the new Holy Son was still thinking, Vincent quickly touched the little black cat on his shoulder, but was rewarded with a fierce hiss. Thinking that this cute little guy could transform into a big beast, he withdrew his hand embarrassedly, fearing that he would be bitten.

"What about the major kingdoms?" Phil Gray comforted Heiye and continued to ask. Although it was a fight between sects, the support of political forces was also very important, especially when it came to wiping out several sects across the continent. If a kingdom hid them, it would also cause some obstacles to Chenxi and his men's actions.

However, considering the power of the First Church of Dawn and the participation of so many sects, even if some countries have some ulterior motives, they should not oppose it openly.

"Well...there's no news from the countries in the western continent yet, but as long as they don't cause trouble, it's fine. They can't control the war between churches, so not many of them have made clear statements. However, Princess Villonka of the Paki Empire in our Dawn Diocese issued a statement of support for us as soon as possible, and also made it clear that their party will provide some financial and material support for our operation." Vincent thought for a moment and said.

"Princess Veronka?" Phil Gray searched his memory and remembered that when he first arrived in Dawn, he received small cookies distributed by this party.

"Yes, I have met her once in the palace before. This princess has a great chance of becoming the first queen of the Paki Empire. She is much better than her brothers in every aspect." Vincent exclaimed.

Phil Gray nodded, and they talked for a few more moments until the butler reminded them that dinner was ready, and Vincent took his leave.

After seeing off Saint Vincent, he walked to the courtyard. The bright lights made the moonlight seem dim. The servants' faint conversations could be heard, all of which involved this war that had not happened in nearly a hundred years. No matter what the outcome was, it would change the situation on the entire continent.

What role will his Cult of Destiny play in this war?

Perhaps this is his chance to reorganize the church?

There was a gleam in Phil Gray's eyes.

……

After a simple dinner, he and Eli practiced fighting under Ernest's guidance.

Being used to the Blazing Sun Sword that was condensed by divine power, he was now somewhat uncomfortable with the weight of this physical Blazing Sun Sword.

But its power cannot be compared with that of a virtual sword.

He had always only known some simple chopping movements, but this time Ernest taught him some sword skills. Although they could not be compared with the knights who had been trained since childhood, he had some methods and was more adept at using them.

"Boss, I'm here!" Eli jumped lightly and landed behind Phil Gray. Then a huge skeleton crawled up from the ground and pounced towards the person in front of him.

Turning around, the Sun Sword drew a golden arc from top to bottom. With a click, the skull split in two. Phil Gray felt the numbness in his palm. This time he used 90% of his strength.

After practicing for a few hours, the skeletons Eli summoned became stronger and stronger.

"take a break?"

"Okay." Phil Gray had just finished speaking when he heard the butler's hurried footsteps. Even while running anxiously late at night, this descendant of a fallen noble family was still very decent.

Only when he came before His Highness did he utter a few words in the most standard Welsh language: "Your Highness, His Holiness the Pope invites you to the cathedral."

Find him at the cathedral late at night?

After climbing over thousands of steps in a few steps, he arrived in front of Pope Dawn.

The lights were as bright as day, all because of the dazzling light emitted by the giant eyes of the god statues.

But he didn't pay attention to it, because Vincent, who was standing under the statue, looked indignant and was muttering something.

Instead, Pope Dawn sat upright on a chair inlaid with gems, seemingly in deep thought.

Phil Gray stepped forward quickly and bowed slightly. "Is there something important that His Holiness the Pope summoned me for late at night?"

Before the Pope could reply, Vincent said angrily: "The Princess Villonka we just talked about today is dead! She was the first one to stand up and support us, but she was poisoned to death by the plague maker. This is a provocation to us!"

Phil Gray was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that the person who would most likely become the first queen of the Paki Empire in the future would die like this.

"It may not be the person who created the epidemic. It could also be her prince brother. The old king's health has been declining in the past few days, and he won't live for many days. The princess died of poisoning at this time, and he is the biggest beneficiary." Aubrey at the side spoke up, and Phil Gray realized that this elder who was at odds with him was also present.

"But this is too much of a coincidence! Why did it happen today? The princess had just stated her position and wanted to provide us with supplies, but she died?" Vincent curled his lips and retorted.

"Both are possible. No matter what the reason for her death from poisoning, in the eyes of the outside world, this is a slap in the face of Chenxi." The Pope said slowly. If a princess of an empire died under normal circumstances, they would at most send a few priests to express their condolences, but at this critical juncture, it must be dealt with seriously.

Otherwise, which kingdom would dare to respond to them openly?

After thinking for a while, the Pope relaxed his brows and looked at Vincent and Phil Gray below, then turned his gaze to the young man with an angry face.

"Vincent, you should go to the palace of the Paki Empire to investigate this matter now. Make sure you find out the cause of Princess Velonka's death."

"Okay!" Vincent clenched his fists, looking determined.

The Pope and Aubrey looked at them with admiration, especially Aubrey, who felt a wave of contempt in his heart when he looked at Phil Gray next to Vincent.

How can a wild saint child who came from nowhere be as good as a child raised at home?

Is he worthy of being a competitor to Vincent? The next Pope?

“By the way, I may not be able to investigate it clearly so quickly. What about the Dawn Alliance that will start in three days?” Vincent scratched his head until he saw Phil Gray beside him, his eyes lit up. Yes, he is not the only Son of God now, so can he hand it over to the new Son of God?

Sensing Vincent's thoughts, the Pope smiled and continued, "In three days, people from other sects will come to form an alliance. At that time, the reception work will be handed over to the New Son. Vincent, you should focus on the investigation over there."

"Good good!"

"No!"
