"Let's not talk about that, did Benjamin find it?!"

Smith, who was standing not far from Apade, suddenly spoke, a glint flashing in his wise eyes: "As long as we find that thing, Leon will definitely collapse without a fight, and he will not have any ability to compete for power with us at all." ”

They knew exactly how Benjamin evaded pursuit and even captured the treasure, and even knew the hidden story even better than Benjamin himself.

Taken by Benjamin was the Scepter of the Night, which represented the supreme power of the Church of the Eternal Night.

This 'Scepter of the Eternal Night' is made of smelting of the three scepters of the gods given by the great Lord of the Eternal Night, and sent into the world of the eternal night.

This scepter is a symbol of the supreme power of the Church of the Eternal Night on Earth, and only the archbishop is qualified to hold it.

And the user of this scepter will be blessed with super powers, and with the blessing of the scepter, the archbishop's ability within the scope of the Church of Eternal Night is even no less than that of the gods of the other world and the angels of the church!

And this scepter is also very restrictive, it must be in the place where the faith of the Church of Eternal Night is covered to be most effective, and it must be a sincere believer of the Lord of the Eternal Night, otherwise it will not be able to mobilize any power at all.

After the death of Pope Cabalen, the emperor of the eternal night world, George, Smith, Epid and other bishops quickly put pressure on Leon, intending to use sanctions to temporarily remove Leon from power and select a new archbishop.

After all, Lyon has been the archbishop for more than 20 years, but he has not made any outstanding contributions, and it is only natural that he should be deposed.

Leon, who felt a sense of crisis, made a quick decision, took advantage of Benjamin's escape, deliberately let Benjamin go, and handed the scepter to Benjamin, asking him to take the scepter away.

Internally, Leon lied that the scepter had been stolen by Benjamin and that he had to be caught before the next trial could proceed, so he was still an archbishop, and he could still act as an archbishop.

Even though most of the bishops knew everything about it, they just didn't have any evidence to prove it, so they had to catch Benjamin and deal with it together.

"I have to say, our Archbishop of Lyon has done a stupid thing. ”

Apid glanced at Smith, a university professor at the time, and said with a smile: "What is he thinking, for the sake of the archbishop for a period of time, he actually colluded with Benjamin? As long as we catch Benjamin and make his participation public, then let alone the archbishop, he may not even be an ordinary churchman, and it will be a good end for him to be expelled from the church." ”

One thing to say, they couldn't understand what Leon was doing.

Although Leon seems to be mentally inferior in dealing with the church, he is still okay in other ways, at least far beyond the average person.

But this operation makes people feel confused, not knowing what he is doing.

Didn't he know what could go wrong with that?

Doesn't he know that if we find out Benjamin, his own future will be dark and his life will be a complete failure?

"He knows for sure what the consequences are going to be. ”

Smith lifted his glasses and said in a low voice: "There must be some secret in this that we don't know, and this secret is probably unspeakable, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a big risk." ”

"One thing to say, indeed. ”

Epiid nodded, agreeing with him, and said, "Not only do we need to reclaim the Scepter of the Night, but we also need to know the secrets hidden in it!"

They had to know the secret, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing for Leon to make a comeback on the back.

"You know, I'm not in Hawaii very often, you keep an eye on these guys, don't let them run away, I'm going to continue searching for Benjamin. ”

After a moment of silence, Apaid breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth to Smith: "We must inquire about the problems related to the Deep Sea No. 3 world, this is the basis and root of our turnover!"

Smith gave Aped a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I'll save it." ”

Seeing this, Apid nodded reassuringly and walked towards the elevator, preparing to leave the undersea prison in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Smith kept his eyes on Epide until he disappeared from his sight.

Looking at Apex's departing figure, the corners of Smith's mouth rose slightly, fiddling with a mocking look.

It is true that he is now cooperating with Epide, but there is only one position as archbishop, and the fall of Leon is imminent, and he and Epide will have a fight.

When the time comes, he who has the information of the Deep Sea No. 3 World will definitely be able to win the assistance of the Eternal Night World.

"Apid is definitely aware of this, but why is he still tolerating these things from me, and what the hell is he going to do?"

Smith pushed his glasses and thought to himself, "Tsk, what kind of fame is Apid doing, it's too complicated." ”

Whether it was Leon or Epide, Smith couldn't figure out what they were going to do.

Even, George, a simple and rough night watchman, he couldn't understand it.

Smith let out a breath of turbidity, a mottled flash on his cloudy eyeballs, and he muttered to himself in a lonely voice, "This position of archbishop is really difficult." ”

Lyons, Georges, Epiid, and himself, the four main contenders, have the lowest approval rating, and the least promising.

However, Smith doesn't plan to just throw in the towel, and who knows if he'll turn the tables against the wind until the last minute?

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps behind Smith, and then the warden of the undersea prison walked in from inside the gate and said anxiously:

"Bishop Smith, I just received news that Dean Merlin of the Jindal School of Magic and Wizardry has arrived in the waters of Hawaii, and has released a signal in advance, wanting to meet the few otherworldly creatures that were captured today. ”

"Dean Merlin?!"

When Smith heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was a little shocked, and then asked in a low voice again, "Are you sure it's Dean Merlin himself?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

The warden nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then immediately spoke: "Not only that, but Lin Xuan and Lu Yaoyao from Kunlun also mentioned that they will visit at a later date. ”

In this moment, Smith understood why Epide had left this matter to himself.

Fuck, he's completely forgotten that there are other powerful people, and he's just thinking about fighting for power with the insiders of the Church of the Eternal Night.

"Alas. ”

Smith let out a long sigh and instructed the warden, "What else can I do, prepare for the arrival of Dean Merlin." ”

Merlin is second only to the gods, and Smith can't provoke him, and he doesn't dare to provoke anything.

Although the Church of the Eternal Night is strong, it is not able to cover the sky with one hand now.

Even if there is the Eternal Night World as a backup, it will not be of any use, after all, whether it is the Jindal School of Magic or Kunlun, they have reached a cooperation intention with other worlds and become partners.

If you do fight... It was simply a world war in the heavens.

So, no matter what, it will definitely not be able to fight.

Therefore, Smith could only let Dean Merlin interrogate these prisoners.

Give the demigod a face, no loss.

In just half an hour, Dean Merlin rushed to Honolulu, and Smith greeted Merlin, and after some business hype, Merlin did not say anything to the other Hawaiian officials, but went straight to the prison.

Smith didn't know why, but he didn't know much, just asked Dean Merlin to interrogate the creatures from another world.

As a result, before Smith could reach the designated location in the cubicle, Merlin finished his interrogation and had already left.

“？？？”

At that time, Smith's expression was a question mark: "Turn on the surveillance camera and see, what did Merlin ask!"

The warden hurriedly brought the footage and audio recording, but there was no movement, Merlin just sat on the opposite side, glanced at the other worldly creatures, and left, which made Smith feel even more unbelievable.

So, he hurriedly interrogated those creatures from another world and asked about what had just happened.

"That strong man looked at me, and I felt... Frightened, as if he was being targeted by the Fire Demon King..."

Uncle Gula, who had secretly taken refuge in the official mansion of the United States, said to Smith with trepidation: "But... The strong man didn't seem to ask me anything, just looked at us. ”

After receiving this answer, Smith's face became even more gloomy.

Although Merlin did not ask him for the interrogation transcript, Smith knew that Merlin now knew much more than he did.

"In the past twenty years, Merlin has never entered any other world, there should be no problem, he will not make an exception for the Deep Sea Three world. In this regard, Smith could only comfort himself with this.

......

Boston, the United States, the church is brilliantly lit.

More than a thousand large candles burned at the edge of the altar, and the candles were divided into eight rows, separated by flowers.

The rich aroma of the purest cigarettes emanated from the doors of the sanctuary like the whirlpool of the tides, and this newly gilded chapel was small but extravagant.

Leon, richly dressed, had finished his day's prayer by standing in the dark room, looking through the narrow window at the golden temple, his eyes flashing with a strange look.

"Your Majesty the Archbishop!"

"Your Majesty Leon!"

"Captain!"

Night slowly fell, and the next moment, on the originally empty church seats, there were suddenly several more figures, they were at the forefront of the entire church, wearing black cloaks, as if they didn't want people to notice their identity.

Leon was not half surprised, but raised his hand, indicating that he already knew everything: "Eternal night, everyone, please take a seat." ”

After that, Leon moistened his throat and said indifferently, "What is the current situation of the two bishops Smith and Epiid, as well as His Excellency George?"

"Eternal night is above. ”

A figure in a black-robed cloak immediately opened his mouth and said, "Smith and Bishop Epid appeared in Hawaii to deal with the cross-border creatures of the world of Deep Sea Three. ”

Bishop Smith remained in Hawaii, and Bishop Epid left Hawaii around noon. ”

Immediately afterwards, another figure in a black-robed cloak took over the topic and said, "As for His Excellency George... After killing Benjamin, Lord George reappeared on the Goryeo Peninsula and continued to hunt down the Lifestealer. ”

Leon nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "Have you found out the true identity of the Lifestealer?"

"Not really, but..."

The figure sitting on the far left hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Under the crown of the archbishop, it may be Dongying's Great Onmyoji Tuyumen Heishuo." ”

"Tuyumen Heishuo, but I have a little impression. ”

Leon chuckled lightly and opened his mouth to say, "In person, George was blessed by the eternal night and defeated the Tuyumen Heishuo, but I guess he will not die because of this." ”

"Archbishop wise!"

"Archbishop wise!"

The crowd complimented in unison.

Gathered here were all Lyon's cronies.

Although Leon did not run the church very well, he did have a hand in winning people's hearts and playing palace fighting.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to fight against the tripartite forces of Smith, Epiid, and George on his own.

His influence spread throughout the country, especially in the northern part of the country, and most of the church priests in the north were appointed by Lyon.

And the south .... Most of them were Apaid, Smith, and George.

Leon nodded, and then spoke, "Has the scepter been found, where is this kid Benjamin hidden?"

"Didn't find it. ”

A black-robed figure said in shame, "However, we have already locked down several cities, Lordan, Dallas, New York, and... Boston. ”

"Boston?"

When Leon heard this, he was slightly surprised, and immediately said, "Why don't you play with us under the light?"

After that, Leon added: "Focus on Boston, and search step by step." ”

With that, Leon looked around at everyone again, opened his mouth and said, "How was that done?"

The black-robed figure replied, "It's ready, just the scepter." ”

"Very good. ”

Leon nodded, sighed deeply, and said with some emotion: "Once that thing is carried out, I am afraid that it will immediately break with Epiid, Smith and even George and start a battle." ”

With that, Leon continued: "Don't worry, wait until you find the scepter." ”

For the time being, Leon was not ready to break with Smith, Epiid, and George.

Moreover, there are many external contradictions, and it is very likely that the Church of the Eternal Night will fall as a result.

But in any case, things have come to this point, and it is only a matter of time before the Civil War of the Church of the Eternal Night will start sooner or later.

With that, Leon looked around at everyone again and said meaningfully: "Get ready for battle, in two years at most, we will go to war with the South." ”

"That's all for this month's meeting, adjourn!"

"Yes!"
