Chapter 284: The Largest Transmigrator Group in the New World (3k)
Although it was impossible for a weapon without its master to actively kill them, she was, after all, a goddess transformed from a weapon, not a pure weapon.
What if something happens?
So they still add a self-deceptive cover-up to it.
Finally, amid the clamor among the cardinals, one cardinal spoke directly to the Pope:
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing someone calling him, the Pope, who had kept his eyes closed, finally opened them.
On his chest was a lion necklace inlaid with seven gemstones of various colors.
That is the source and symbol of the Pope's power.
The power emanating from the necklace made the cardinals feel enlightened and fascinated.
They are already the closest to this position in the church.
As long as this old immortal dies, they will be the ones to go up!
The cardinal who stood up couldn't help but take a look at the necklace, then bowed his head respectfully and said:
"Although I feel that I should not speak at this time, I also feel that as a humble servant of the King of God, I must denounce everything that Patriarch Rodgrens has done!"
The page boys, who nominally served God and the King but in reality served them, immediately stepped forward and distributed the documents that had been prepared long ago to the cardinals.
"Our colleague, Patriarch Rodgrens, he, he has fallen!"
"Not only did he use his power and status to forcibly occupy the largest mine in the Rodgrens area, he also ordered the clergy he promoted to fabricate charges and send our believers, the lambs of the two majesties, to hard labor so that he could mine for free!"
"Not to mention the other sins he committed, in just the two years he was in office, tens of thousands of believers died because of this incident!"
"The devil, the devil is right next to us!"
The cardinal literally burst into tears as he said this.
When he shouted the word "devil", he slammed his fist on the round table that was once surrounded by real knights.
Such a performance left his colleagues speechless, and they all looked at him with raised eyebrows.
This is obviously not a problem, at least for them, after all, everyone does it, but throwing this out there, does that mean he wants to take down Rodgers?
in such a hurry?
So could it be him who did it?
But he wouldn't be that stupid, so what did he want to do?
The cardinal noticed the gazes of his colleagues and knew it was almost time. He wiped the tears from his face and said:
"This matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, it will cause the entire church to lose face. Therefore, I suggest that the two cardinals set off immediately."
"One rushed to retrieve the Patriarch's body to perform a divination ritual to identify the murderer, and the other rushed to investigate and deal with the Patriarch's fall, and also investigate the assassination incident."
The Pope looked at him with interest and said:
"Who do you think would be better? What do you think?"
But what surprised them was that the cardinal who stood up said:
"I was the one who accused the Patriarch of corruption, so I need to avoid suspicion. Your Majesty, I cannot go. If you want to know who the specific candidate is, please make the judgment yourself!"
It was obvious that he was anxious to get Rodgers on the plate, but he himself didn't go?
What on earth is this guy going to do?
This time, even the Pope couldn't understand him.
I could only nod and say:
"I understand, but this matter is of great importance, so you should discuss among yourselves who should go."
The cardinals resumed their quarrel.
The seated cardinal glanced at a cardinal sitting next to the Pope.
Everyone at the round table is equal in theory.
But in reality, it is obvious whoever is closest to the top position has the most power.
The cardinal who had instigated all this was the youngest of them all, so he was the furthest away from that position.
The old bishop who was closest to that position looked at him and said:
"Let me go. I baptized him. I am his godfather and his teacher. Since he has been accused, I should be the one to investigate thoroughly."
"So, what do you think?"
The other cardinals raised their eyebrows slightly. If he went there, he would have to put the piece of meat back into his mouth.
The young cardinal smiled and said:
"You are right. You should go. I support your idea. After all, you must be very sad at the moment."
This made the cardinals even more confused about what this person who had just joined in sharing the meal was going to do.
After a brief discussion, they decided on another person to go to Rodgrens.
And after the meeting.
The young cardinal found the old cardinal.
The old man and the young man walked one after the other in the Cathedral of Camelot.
The old man asked the latecomer who had deliberately lagged behind:
"What on earth do you want to do?"
The young man who came later bowed his head and smiled:
"Isn't it clear to you?"
The old man smiled and said:
"You and I are on the same level."
In the old man's eyes, the young man was actually helping him, because now that the patriarch was dead, others would definitely do what the young man had just done.
Rodgers is a piece of fat meat.
Therefore, whoever shoots first is most likely to get the fat piece of meat.
However, the young man was the first to stand up despite being suspected of planning the assassination, and he also took the initiative to put the opportunity into his hands.
This was obviously a retreat to help him defend Rodgers.
The young man lowered his head and said:
"But you are more suitable to be the new Pope than me!"
The old man reminded:
"Your Majesty is still in very good health."
"But sooner or later, His Majesty will hand everything over to you."
The flattery and recognition from peers or even competitors are obviously countless times better than that from subordinates or even superiors.
"what do you want?"
The young man suddenly walked in front of the old man, and in the old man's confusion, he took off his cardinal robe, which symbolized absolute power, and spread it on the ground. The robe was wet by the clear water, but it also paved the way forward.
"It just rained and there is a puddle here, so please step on my clothes to get across."
Looking at the extremely humble young man, the old man nodded with increasing satisfaction and said:
"This may take a long time, so, are you really willing to do it?"
The young man, who kept his head down, smiled and said:
"If you say so, it won't last long."
The old man just laughed.
He kept patting the young man's shoulder and said:
"I don't leave until tomorrow, so I'll introduce you to my friends tonight."
After saying this, the old man stepped directly over the soaked cardinal's robe.
The old man standing opposite the robe looked at his clean shoes and the robe with a footprint on it with satisfaction.
He said to the young man:
"So, let's go. I promise you, too, that you'll take my place. And then I'll tell all of them about this, too!"
In the face of this great favor, the young man bowed his head with great humility and gratitude.
Even if they didn't break the principles themselves, as long as they started to doubt each other.
Then the already fragile principles will naturally be shattered in an instant.
The wind blown by Moon is now evolving into a hurricane capable of destroying everything.
This has nothing to do with how powerful one is, it only has to do with the simplest human heart.
-
Moon and Lily, who were still in Rodgrens, entered the tavern again.
Regarding the arrival of the two.
The tavern owner just took a look and silently led them into the secret passage.
Because of the previous transaction, the tavern owner was obviously much more active this time:
"So, what are you two here for now?"
Moen smiled and said:
"I'm here to discuss more business."
"That's great, so what kind of business do you want to discuss?"
Moen shook his head and said:
"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the person behind you."
The tavern owner turned around and said puzzledly:
"Don't you know that the city has been under lockdown for a long time? So, how could my boss be here?"
Moen looked at him and said:
"I have what the stranger wants most, so your boss can't be here. Call him over and let me talk to him directly."
The tavern owner looked at Moon helplessly and amusedly, and his meaning was very clear - you really think too much.
But after this state has been maintained for a while.
Seeing that Moon was still like that, he ended his performance awkwardly.
"Well, you guessed it right, our boss did come, and he also said that you would definitely come and know that he was here."
"To be honest, you made me lose a full hundred gold coins."
In response to the tavern owner's nagging, Moon said directly:
"That has nothing to do with us."
To the tavern owner it was just a shrug, but to the girl the addition of the word "they" made the corners of her mouth slightly raise.
Wait until you pass through that wooden door again.
Then the tavern owner threw out a bag of gold coins.
The person who caught the gold coin also took off his human skin mask, revealing a very cold face.
She was an absolute beauty.
Full of the aggressive beauty of the desert people.
The boss of this black market guild is actually a woman!
There were nearly a hundred people here, so that this originally large warehouse was already a bit crowded.
But Mo En raised his eyebrows slightly.
I’m not surprised because nearly a hundred people here are time travelers.
But he thought that the elf traverser who couldn't climb trees and the vampire traverser who had been in prison for life were already very surprising.
I didn't expect this to be so surprising.
This was the first time he encountered a time traveler whose gender did not match his original gender!
He even recognized the person in front of him. He was the mayor of their Zhenli City!
So Moen looked directly at the mayor, not knowing whether to say she or he, and said in human language:
"I thought it was another Heather family member, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Sir, you surprise me."
The obvious meaning of these words stunned even this extremely aggressive beauty.
Doesn't this guy know too much?!
The tavern owner said with a smile:
"What sir? Can't you see that our boss is a woman, is..."
The tavern owner who suddenly reacted looked at his boss in astonishment, while the other turned his head away silently.
The answer is already obvious.
Such a reaction made Moen a little embarrassed and said:
"I'm sorry, I thought you knew this as companions. After all, it looks like you've known each other for a long time at least."
The woman coughed and said calmly that it was okay.
But the tavern owner and many other men were all distraught and said:
"Let's go out for a while, we might all want some quiet time."
It can be seen that these poor guys have suffered a huge mental shock, but I don't know whether they are heartbroken or something worse.
For God's sake, I hope they are just heartbroken.
It was the first time that Morn prayed to the Great Primordial Being for something so speechless yet truly full of sadness.
