Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

The pope's voice fell, but the six council priests present did not make a sound.

The two frowned and said nothing, both lowered their heads in thought, and one looked at the youngest cardinal present——Atwood with an ambiguous expression.

Priest Atwood is only 140 years old... Among the twelve cardinals of the Gold Coin Church, he is indeed very young.

No matter how despised by pagans, the foundation of the Gold Coin Church is there. There will not be a situation like the Prosperity Church with only one top fighter... Among the priests of the Twelve Council, five cardinals have exceeded the age of [-] The lifespan can be called the extraordinary among the extraordinary; the Pope, who is more than four hundred years old, has already passed the third "gate".

But no matter how "young", Priest Atwood's strength is still there, not much worse than other council priests; In this matter, other cardinals always have to take into account the face of Priest Atwood before expressing their views.

Priest Atwood, who has thick flaxen curly hair common to Middle-earths and looks like a young man, sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty, since my descendants are involved, please allow me to withdraw from this meeting." Priest Atwood stood up and bowed slightly towards the Pope.

The Pope seemed to have expected Priest Atwood to make such a choice, and nodded in agreement.

Priest Atwood was about to leave the main hall when the Pope suddenly said, "Although he is a descendant of an unseemly illegitimate child, he is a member of the church with your surname after all. Atwood, why don't you go to the Rhine capital?" .”

Priest Atwood was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that the Pope had expressed his opinion. He quickly put his hands on his chest, bowed solemnly to the Pope, and strode away.

The five cardinals who sat still in their seats, no matter what their reactions were before, all looked at the Pope in astonishment.

The pope's expression remained unchanged, and he repeated the previous question again: "Everyone, what do you think of this matter?"

Among the five council priests, at least three were slandering in their hearts—you have already made such a gesture, so why bother!

That's right, Sam Atwood did commit the crime of betraying the church and betraying his own people, but it was indeed the Rhine nobles who tempted him to fall... There is no problem in holding the Rhine nobles accountable while holding his own people accountable .

Although the Church of Gold Coins is often ridiculed by outsiders as a sect with a low limit of "being rich and easy to do", it is not so easy to talk to the point where it is indifferent to murdering the night watchman and dragging church members down.

But with the precarious situation of the Rhine Kingdom right now... Sending someone to investigate responsibility at this time, and they are still blood relatives of the "Bitter Master", what is the difference between this and helping the Nightmare Butcher!

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of the Rhine is, after all, the parish of the church." A senate priest with deep experience and qualifications to question the Pope's decision gently reminded.

The Pope stretched out his hand and pointed to the thick, non-negligible "Summary" in the middle of the long table. He said calmly, but with hidden anger: "The Kingdom of the Rhine is the parish of the church. I used to think so. After I saw Before this investigation report.”

I hope to persuade the pope's priest to be taken aback.

People who can get into the center are unlikely to have flaws in IQ. The priest quickly realized why the Pope was so angry...

"Let the heretics proliferate without control, and even contribute to the flames—" His Majesty raised his chin slightly, veins slowly appeared on his forehead, and no longer concealed his anger, "The church does not need such hypocrites, gold coins Neither do ladies."

The priest who spoke out closed his mouth.

It turns out that the upper floors of Lars City really wiped their butts very clean. There are no traces of cults within dozens of miles around the city, and the cultists operating in the city are all innocent people who usually only do miscellaneous tasks such as delivering news. the lower class believers.

If another organization or institution airborne Lars City to investigate the disappearance of the Night Watchman, nothing would be found—even if the only night watchman officer who knew the "online" was arrested, the original Lars The city lord also has a lot of means to get rid of the relationship.

Not to mention that Sam Atwood was already in a state of mental instability. When he was interrogated, he lost control of his emotions, and the possibility of killing the investigator on the spot was very high... This guy is not only a member of the church, but also a blood relative of the church's high-level, Gold Coin Church You can only knock out your teeth and swallow your blood, and you can't blame others.

This gang of fly camp dogs and dogs have calculated thousands of things, but they didn't count the evil black magician who ate the Innad collar and the Adler collar successively in the south, and directly took more than a thousand people on board to kick the gate of their house ...

The upper level ran cleanly, and the middle level was scattered, and no one could help to cover up and down; the old mayor of Baboba Town, who had been shrewd and cautious all his life, dared to come forward to inform, and the bottom line of the Taqiya nobles It's only natural for the pants to be pulled clean.

After reading the "Summary", the priest who had been frowning all the time shook his head, and said angrily: "Yes, if the captain of the night watchman in Dutata City, Metz, hadn't unveiled this fig leaf, those damned cultists wouldn't be here. You know how long you have to deceive the church! When the Rhine Kingdom was invaded, the church sent apologists to help, and the Rhine royal family actually repaid the church like this!"

200 years ago, in the war of defending the country of the Rhineland Kingdom, due to lack of precautions at the beginning, the bishop of the diocese of Taqia was caught off guard and had to lead people to evacuate first.

When the King of the Rhine procrastinatedly organized a counter-offensive due to internal strife, corruption, and war profit, it was indeed the two apologist legions sent by the Gold Coin Church that held back the enemy's northern troops before allowing them to march along the Barcelo River. The main force of the enemy army was unable to receive reinforcements, and was stopped under the capital city by a group of militiamen hastily pulled out.

Another council priest who was also irritated by the content of the "Summary" said with a cold face: "The parish that countless people in the church have dedicated their lives to maintain is not for the convenience of those cultists."

It is inevitable for cults to breed. If they are strong like the Church of the Sun and the Church of Storms, there are still cultists in the diocese every year, and the Church of Gold Coins will not be affected by this.

However, a large number of Rhine nobles participated in it, which is different in nature.

"Official" defection to the enemy, is there any difference between this and the betrayal of the diocese? !

What makes the Pope & Cardinals hate even more is that these Rhine nobles voted for the "Whisperer", a cult that all orthodox sects regard as the enemy!

It can prolong people's lifespan, even if they live like a living dead, no one can know better than these central priests how tempting it is for those who have the conditions to engage in live sacrifices-the upper echelons of Lars City have collectively fallen, and even Tach The nobles of Creek City, the capital of Asia, were also involved, which is ironclad evidence.

The Pope thinks further... Although the "Summary" compiled by Captain Mace of the Night Watch and another detective named Stanford did not mention it, whether the Rhine royal family has also been involved? But no one can deny it!

In the final analysis, for ordinary people who are not extraordinary, the temptation to prolong life is too great!The higher the status of a mortal, the more difficult it is to resist!

The Pope, with a very bad complexion, nodded at the two cardinals who made it clear, then looked at the other three, and said in a deep voice: "It's the 'Eternal Sleeper' and the 'Whisperer' again, even our diocesan bishop Neither the Night Watchman nor the Rhine Kingdom is sure how many cults are hidden in the Rhine Kingdom, and how many Rhine nobles these sects are related to——Which side should be supported to rule this parish may need to be further examined.”

The Rhine royal family is the undoubted ruler of the Rhine Kingdom parish, and the pope has directly pulled the Rhine royal family to the same position as the Nightmare Butcher. This tendency is already obvious...

The three council priests who hadn't made a statement exchanged glances, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement one after another.

The so-called "Undead Regime" launched by the black magician Nightmare Butcher ruled the diocese of the Gold Coin Church. It's really ugly to say it... But apart from the bad reputation, it seems that there are no other shortcomings.

Eleven taxes, people have never been in arrears.

The sect of evil gods, which competed with the sect of righteous gods for the resources of believers, was attacked heavily.

The undead of the Nightmare Butcher are also very keen on helping parishes solve difficult and dangerous incidents. The remuneration they demand is not only lower than the normal commission, but also quite efficient.

As for the bad reputation... Anyway, the reputation of the Gold Coin Church has never been good!

So... Priest Atwood set off from the Holy Land and took an airship to the capital of the Rhine King. On the day of the interrogation, a letter signed by several council priests and stamped with the coat of arms of the Church of Gold Coins was also sent from the Holy Land to Laer Sicheng.

This important letter, which was also entrusted to the bounty hunter association by air, was delivered to Yang Qiu in the evening of the same day.

"The priests of the Gold Coin Church are indeed sensible people."

After reading the contents of the letter, Yang Qiu gave those priests a thumbs up from the air, and happily... urged Zhao Zhenzhen (the national team) to hurry up and train grassroots cadres of the aborigines.

The stumbling block of the Gold Coin Church is determined to support "fair competition", so he will not be polite, and must win the Rhine Kingdom within this year!

On the other hand, the old king, who was in the capital, heard that the Gold Coin Church had sent a cardinal to investigate the responsibility of the nobles of the Taqiya and the heretics, and his vision went dark.

It has been so many days since the undead regime extended its hand to Taqia, and the old king knows everything he should know.

The year before last, Inadler, last year Adler, and this year Tachia leader... The Nightmare Butcher was determined to snatch a piece of his territory for a year, and the old king really spewed out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

What made the old king even more anxious was that at this moment, the Otis family actually started to make trouble—Phoenix claimed to be humiliated by the third prince and demanded a public duel with the third prince!

If the third prince did not dare to fight, Phoenix claimed that he would take troops to the capital for an "armed trip"... When the old king thought that he had supported this dead girl last year to resist the coveted royal family of Rose, a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. go.

A prince of the royal family would definitely not be able to fight a duel with a woman from a big noble family.

Winning the royal family will lose face, but it will prove that the third prince has indeed humiliated the daughter of a great nobleman in disregard of the royal family's dignity.

If they lose, the royal family's face can be simply ignored.

It was already too annoying, but the Gold Coin Church did something like this again, the old king really couldn't stand it anymore.

The day after Priest Atwood arrived in the Rhine capital, several court mages who had been worshiped by the Rhine royal family for many years left the palace in secret.

On the same day, two private yachts sailed out of Wangdu Port, one sailed to Lars City, and the other sailed to Dutata City.
