Chapter 623: The Way of Balance

In the face of this accusation, Pope St. George's face was also gloomy at the moment, "I came to settle the matter with good intentions, not to accept these baseless accusations and accusations, our Holy See is just a faith organization that serves the God of Truth, and I am just simply preaching, so that more people can enjoy the gospel of the God of Truth, but you have been aggressive, first forcibly preventing me from entering the royal capital to preach, when will the royal family even control the faith of the people?" Now that unwarranted guilt has been imposed on me, is it true that our Holy See can let you ravage?"

At the end of the day, Pope St. George paused heavily on the oracle scepter, and a monstrous aura surged through him, and a phantom appeared behind him.

Amelia, Biluo, and Wendy, under the impact of this terrifying aura, involuntarily took a few steps back, but instead flashed out Princess Sophia, who had been guarding behind them.

In this process, she did not retreat half a step, and her body also surged with the aura of sinking like the sea and moving forward bravely.

The aura came from the sword she pressed in her handβ€”the Sword of Courage.

It is a battle artifact for the Lancelot royal family, and it is also a symbol of royal power.

The sword is still in the hands of Princess Regent Sophia, which means that the power of the Lancelot royal family has not been completely transferred.

The sword is named for its courage to manipulate people, which is why Sophia had the courage to face Pope Delt even though she knew that Prince Laurie's mind might be manipulated by the other party.

It was also its warning that made Sophia not have the silent trick that Pope George can affect people's emotions like in the middle, and now it makes her face the coercion of the oracle scepter and the messenger of the true god, which is still not false at all.

"Whether you did it or not, you and I know. Princess Regent Sophilia was very calm, "The royal family and the Holy See have developed together for so many years, and they have already reached a tacit understanding, forming a relatively stable balance, and only under the premise of maintaining this balance can the two sides move forward together, and His Excellency the Pope's recent actions are breaking this balance."

Whether you do it intentionally or unintentionally, your actions are trying to put theocracy above the royal power, which is not only not allowed by our royal family, but also by other grand ducal families, I am not here on my own behalf, nor simply on behalf of the royal family, I am here on behalf of the eight princely families of the Byron Alliance, if His Majesty the Pope insists on going his own way, we will not hesitate to go to war in an all-out way. ”

Pope St. George's hand holding the oracle scepter couldn't help but push harder, and the green tendons on it stood out.

Before this, he knew that Princess Regent Sophia had bad intentions, but he didn't expect her attitude to be so tough.

The most important thing is that the other party is not simply intimidating, but all major families are actively moving closer to her, among which the Kingsley family and the Twin Peninsula under the control of the witch secret society are the most.

The momentum I have made in the recent period is too big, and it scares them.

They have no way to resist this plague that originates from faith, and the only thing they can do is to resort to the most primitive weapon - war.

If the ruling class of the Byron Alliance, led by the royal family of Lancelot, launched an all-out war against the Holy Aether Holy See, the happiest thing is the Witch Secret Society, and they will definitely take the opportunity to uproot the Holy See.

Pope St. George even highly suspects that behind this matter, there are these women who are good at playing with power in tandem and bewitching, they are like rats in the gutter, always like to operate in the dark, unknowingly touching your ears, whispering, instilling in you their thoughts and wills.

The opponent who is often invisible is the most terrifying.

This matter is also too careless, only thinking of using this rare opportunity to expand the influence of himself and the Holy See, completely ignoring the reaction of the original ruling class of the Byron Alliance.

The greater the power of the True God Messenger and the Holy Force, the faster their influence and that of the Holy See expanded, and the more violently they reacted.

Pope St. George's heart was overturned, but his face was not shocked: "Her Royal Highness the princess, what should I do to restore the balance between the royal power and the divine power, and to be conducive to the common development of both sides?"

"To conclude this sermon tour, to return to the Holy Land of St. Ann's Land, the Holy See without exception, to call back the Holy Maiden Enid, not to allow her to approach Prince Laurie for half a step, in exchange we do not prohibit all missionary activities of ordinary missionaries, nor do we prohibit the Holy See faithful from making pilgrimages to St. Ann's Land. "Princess Regent Sophilia made a condition.

Every time she opened one, Pope St. George's face would be embarrassed, and when Princess Sophia finished speaking, she laughed angrily: "That's all?"

"That's all. Princess Sophia didn't seem to hear his sarcasm at all, and nodded earnestly.

"Her Royal Highness the princess's conditions are not overbearing, you directly said that you want to imprison me in the Holy Ann's Land. Pope St. George said angrily, "You were still talking about the balance between divine power and royal power just now, and you are completely using royal power to control divine power, do you want me to promulgate the holy decree and let all the canonization of papal knights and the inauguration of bishops and bishops be handed over to the royal family to supervise?"

"Naturally, I can't ask for it. Princess Sophia unceremoniously agreed, "They are the people first, and then the followers of the Holy See, so why not?"

"Don't deceive people too much. "Pope St. George's perfectly repaired beard is crooked.

"What do you mean by being too deceitful?" Princess Sophia said with a cold expression, "This in itself is a secret agreement between the successive kings of the royal family and the successive popes of the Holy See, didn't Pope Delt tell you this before you became Pope?" Or did Pope Delt not tell you at all?"

The last sentence of the princess regent clearly meant something.

"The secret agreement between the royal family and the Holy See?" asked Pope St. George in disbelief.

"Otherwise, why do you think Pope Delt has stayed in St. Anncida for decades? No papal has ever been a religious from the Holy See to become a queen of the royal family of Lancelot? Even the Grand Duchess of all generations have never had a devout member of the Holy See? This is a tacit understanding that has been developed and formed by the two over the years, and only in this way can the two coexist, and His Excellency the Pope has only been in office for three months, and everything has been broken. ”

Princess Regent's series of rhetorical questions left Pope St. George speechless.

Because what the other party says is likely to be the truth.

Pope Delt is not that kind of incompetent fool, what he can think of St. George, the other party must have thought of after so many years of reign, especially the matter of making the Holy See a devout disciple become Queen Lancelot, he has experienced it several times in the century he has been in office.

In this kind of matter, the Holy See has always been inactive.

It seems that there are profound reasons behind these inadequacies.

"If His Excellency the Pope does not believe it, he can go back to the Holy See and look through the texts, and I believe that he will find a record of this. Sophia took advantage of the victory and pursued, "I'm just asking His Excellency the Pope to follow tradition, isn't that a deception?"

"I'll send someone to verify this. Pope St. George said with a cold face, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I'll leave first, and we'll talk about it in detail another day." ”

"Greetings to His Excellency the Pope. ”

After sending Pope St. George away.

Wendy the Black Rose finally couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed loudly: "Isn't their Holy See paying attention to peace of mind, without desires and desires? Why is this old guy's face deformed? ”

Watching St. George eat deflated made her feel like she was raising her eyebrows.

"They are originally a group of ordinary people, even if he has great power, he is still just an ordinary person, and he will not really become the so-called true god messenger. Amelia has a negative opinion of the Holy See, or more precisely, a deeper preconception, which has to do with her reluctance to mention her past background, which is said to have come from a convent.

"Will Pope St. George agree to our terms?" said White Rose with unconcealed concern, "I don't think he's the kind of person who gives in easily. ”

"Our Excellency Pope St. George is a first-class smart man, the greatest advantage of a smart man, but also the greatest disadvantage, when he has too many calculations in his heart, when there are too many concerns, it is difficult to muster the courage to break everything to pieces, when he is stagnant in the city of Lennon, it means that he has compromised, now we are just looking for him to find a step. Amelia was the head of the Tao analysis.

Biluo nodded again and again, looking like she was suddenly open.

Wendy tilted her little head and asked suspiciously: "According to the meaning of the eldest sister, Her Royal Highness the princess is more stupid than the other party, so she has the courage to break everything!"

Amelia slapped her little head viciously and said, "Don't misinterpret what I mean, we call us having the courage to gamble everything." ”

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Wendy said, clutching her little head, "Even if I misunderstand, my eldest sister doesn't have to beat people indiscriminately." ”

"Even if Pope St. George fully accepts our terms, there is still a problem that cannot be avoided, and we still cannot reverse Prince Laurie's changed thoughts and concepts. Biluo voiced another concern of her own.

"This is indeed a headache, and I can only think of a way to do it slowly in the future, and when the time comes, without that holy woman bewitching His Highness Laurie, time may change his mind. Amelia said in an optimistic tone.

Behind this optimism, there is a deep concern.

Prince Laurie's change in thinking has had a far more serious impact on the Lancelot royal family than imagined.

It became a trigger for a direct conflict between Prince Laurie and Princess Sophia.

There is no such thing as an unwavering transfer of rights, especially one involving two existing interest groups.

Some non-core issues, or issues that involve little interest, have been forcibly suppressed by Princess Sophia's unilateral regression.

However, Princess Sophia's regression only fueled the arrogance of the royalist faction, and they gained an inch and started the idea of Princess Sophia's fiefdom.

Because Princess Sophia was blocked from implementing the New Deal reform in other territories at the beginning, she had no choice but to try it out in her own fiefdom, and under the impetus of a large amount of trade with the Eternal Night Lord, the dividends began to explode.

This fiefdom occupies less than one-sixth of the direct area of the Lancelot royal family, but now earns more than the other five-sixths of the land combined, and this is even after the Eternal Night Warlords have already engaged in large-scale trade with the royal capital Valesta.

A loyal princess like Amelia is naturally unlikely to accept it.

In fact, they have reservations about Princess Sophia's massive regression in the transition process.

As Prince Laurie's power grows, the contradiction itself grows.

Now Prince Laurie is suspected of being brainwashed by the Holy See, his attitude has become tougher, and his methods are more radical.

This negotiation with Pope St. George in the city of Lennon was carried out without Prince Laurie.

Amelia can imagine how those royalists will use the topic after getting this news.

This is what makes Amelia's princess faction the most disgusting, Princess Sophia is sheltering Prince Laurie in front of the wind and rain, fighting for the future of the entire Lancelot royal family, not only do they not support strongly, but they are frantically demolishing and stabbing in the back.

If it is anyone, it will not feel comfortable.

In the past, Prince Laurie at least showed an attitude of understanding Princess Sophia, but this time because the Holy See was involved, no one knew what kind of posture it would be.

Once the attitude is tough and intense, the most injured person will definitely be Princess Sophia.

When she thought of this, Amelia's eyes couldn't help but fall on Princess Sophia's back, and suddenly, she seemed to see the soft and weak girl who tried to carry everything on her shoulders.

Fortunately, this is coming to an end, and in a few months, Prince Laurie will officially ascend the throne, and Sophia will be able to completely hand over the power in her hands, and she can let go and pursue her own happiness.

Let's hope so!

Amelia sighed a little unconfidently.

......

On the other side, Pope St. George, who had avoided everyone, also took off his disguise and said violently: "The deception is too great, the deception is too great, they want to imprison me in the Holy Ann's place, how dare he do this? How dare they do this?"

"I have already said that your ideas are too naΓ―ve, and the efficiency is too low, and they cannot meet the needs of the true god at all, war, war is the fastest way to collect faith, and the Holy Light power I have given you is enough for you to train countless powerful Holy Light Guards, and enough for your army to be invincible.

At that time, do you still need to be afraid of their so-called threat of war?

In less than ten years, you will be able to establish a papal empire, when you will be the first emperor of the papal empire, the spokesman of the true God in the mortal world, this merit is enough for the true God to grant you eternal life, until you are tired of all the mundane, the true God will personally lead you into the kingdom of God, and there will be your seat on the altar. ”

The angel phantom emerged from behind him without summoning it, and compared to three months ago, his appearance was more solid, no longer a simple shadow outline, but more like a huge ball of light, filled with a huge power of holy light, making it impossible to look at it directly.

However, the power of the Holy Light on its body was not ordinary milky white, but golden.

It's the same color as the power of faith he had drawn from the Oracle Scepter and Pope Dert.

Obviously, he was also in a state of explosive growth during this time.

Every major evangelistic meeting in St. George was a great opportunity for him to put the power of his faith to life.

This power, which is more invisible and ignorant than the energy of magic, is real.

"You say it simply, you see, I just held a sermon tour, and the princes of the Byron League were united in horror? This means that they have always been wary and resistant to the Holy See, and if I really show my desire to establish the unity of divine and royal power, believe it or not, their army will reach the Holy Ann the next day. Pope St. George retorted with a sneer, not showing much surprise at the almost rebellious remarks of the angelic phantom.

Obviously, this is not the first time that the other side has discussed this issue with Pope St. George.

"There are many ways to start a war, and the one who is involved in it is the most stupid one, and it is the wisest choice to disturb the whole situation and take the opportunity to get everything you need. The angel phantom replied with a blank face.

"What do you mean?" Pope St. George's expression flickered slightly, as if he understood the meaning of the angelic phantom, but as if he hadn't fully guessed it.

"Odin orcs. The angel phantom spat out a noun.
