Chapter 359: The Pope's Examination
St. George pondered again and again before replying: "In recent years, this force has sprung up and developed quite rapidly, behind the turmoil of the Manyu military leader, there are their figures, and they have a close relationship with the princess regent, originally they signed a four-party agreement to support Viscount Philip to seize the supreme rule of Manyu, but Viscount Philip is very hostile to the alien embankment, and this agreement cannot be resolved." ”
"However, he has also reached a private tripartite agreement with the regent Princess Sophilia and Countess Angie Bena, which is an offensive and defensive alliance, and they now have a great influence in Manyu, and are the source of the chaos that Manyu has been unable to complete the unification for a long time. ”
"It is said that the Jacob River is reflowing, and the real driving force behind it is not the princess regent but this new force, but there is no way to accurately verify this, they are very vigilant, and it is difficult for outsiders to infiltrate it. ”
St. George took the plunge and threw out all the information he could think of about the Eternal Night Commander, whether it was from an accurate source or hearsay.
Pope Dert did not comment directly, but threw a wad of information to St. George and said, "Let's take a look at this first." ”
"What is this?"
St. George respectfully took it, flipped through it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but be surprised.
"The Third Fleet of the Cummins family has been defeated, to a rabble of people who have just emerged for ten years? The 200,000-strong army of the Kingsley family has been blocked on the east bank of the Danube...... Archduke Buck, the current family of the Kingsley family, has personally gone to Vallesta, the royal capital, to negotiate secretly with the princess regent."
St. George read one of them with more disbelief on his face, and he almost didn't ask Pope Delt about the veracity of this information.
With this information in the hands of Pope Dert, the problem no longer seemed to be a problem.
Perhaps someone would dare to fool him with false information, but absolutely no one would dare to do that to Pope Delt.
If the above situation is true, the political pattern of the Byron Alliance and the entire Ashane continent will be turned upside down.
At that time, the Eternal Night Commander, who sits on the Andes Mountains and the Swamp of Despair, will become the ninth army leader.
Not only because the Eternal Night Army has been paving this aspect before taking the lead, but also because when it proves its strength and has the corresponding area, the Byron Alliance will take the initiative to show favor to it and invite it to join, because this is in the interests of the entire alliance.
Alliances exist to pursue the greatest profits, and it is the most foolish thing to keep them out knowing that they are on the rise.
Not to mention, the Kingsley family now has 200,000 troops trapped on the eastern bank of the Swamp of Despair, once it suffers heavy losses.
The entire Kingsley family will be in turmoil, and their name of wealth will become their greatest original sin.
Who doesn't salivate over it?
I don't want to take the opportunity to gnaw a piece of meat off his body.
Under these circumstances, what measures and actions should the Holy See take to maximize its benefits?
St. George couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of it, meditating on the plan for the Holy See.
"What do you see from this?" Pope Delt interrupted St. George's musings.
There seemed to be a bright light in St. George's eyes: "This is our perfect opportunity, the Carthusian military leader has always been the same as the Manyu military leader, it is a desert of faith, their ruler has always used high-pressure means to reject the true divine radiance, if we can use the life and death of the 200,000 army as a stepping stone, Archduke Buck may change the previous policy." ”
"And what?" asked Pope Dert.
"Is Your Majesty going to break with the tradition of the past and preach to those aliens of the Eternal Night?" asked St. George cautiously.
For so many years, the Holy See has always adhered to the Byronic people as the main body of mission, and has disdainful of the Andes and crocodiles as they did the Orcs of Odin, believing them to be unteachable barbarians.
It is not only a matter of courage but also prestige to break with this tradition.
"All beings are equal, and all races on Ashaon are the people of the true God, and as long as they are sincerely converted and praise the name of the true God, what reason do we have to turn them away?" Pope Delt replied to St. George's question with a rhetorical question.
St. George's respect for Pope Dert was unquestionable, but his admiration for the old institutions and codes of the Holy See was also deeply rooted, and he replied dryly: "But these barbarian people are not indoctrin. ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" said Pope Dert, still in a mild, sharp rhetorical question.
"They are all unbelievers. ”
"People of faith, why do we need to preach?"
"But......" St. George was speechless by Pope Delt's series of rhetorical questions.
The process of preaching itself is to transform the unbeliever into a believer.
As for the identity of the person being preached, does it matter?
St. George thought it was important, but now it's a bit uncertain.
"Don't be narrow-minded and cover your eyes. "This is how I have spent most of my life in vain, and by the time I figure this out, I will already be called by the true God, and I will not have so much energy and time to do this, and the glory of the true God will be propagated and the gospel of the true God will be spread further, and this matter will fall on you young people with energy and drive, and I hope you will not repeat my old mistakes." ”
"Follow Your Majesty's teachings. St. George replied with a solemn expression, as if he had accepted an extremely difficult task.
Pope Dert waved his hand and said: "This is just an admonition from an elder to a junior, how to choose is still up to you, after all, this is an extremely difficult road, when the time comes, you will not only have to face the difficulties of the preacher, but also face internal confusion and pressure." ”
"For the glory of the true God, I have nothing to fear. St. George's answer was impassioned and very missionary.
In fact, at this moment, his heart was rolling, and a huge surprise that could not be described in words filled his body and mind.
Pope Delt said that this was a conversation between the elders and the juniors, and nothing else was involved.
But sitting in his current position, how can there be a private matter?
In particular, this is a major event that touches on the core ideas of the Holy See.
This may be a kind of test for Pope Dert, to test his future style, whether he can keep up with the other party's philosophy, and whether he can carry out his unfinished business.
Needless to say, the reason for the trial is the change of power in the Holy See.
Throughout Pope Delt's life, not all of his decisions were correct, but most of them were the right and far-sighted kind.
He is not shy about his life and death, and when his body shows signs of it, he actively prepares for it.
In his eyes, the glory of God and the prosperity of the Holy See were more important than his life.
How could he not care about the future change of power in the Holy See?
The delegation of power in the past few years is only afraid that he deliberately wanted to screen out a suitable successor from it.
If he can become the successor recognized by Pope Delt, and become a new generation of popes, he dare not say that it is a certainty, then it is not far from ten.
After all, the centuries-old rule of Pope Delt over the Holy See of St. Aether lay out there.
Even if he usually does nothing, after a hundred years, his name is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Not to mention that Pope Delt is a qualified pope with great ambition and means.
Under his rule, the Holy See of St. Aether has always been on the path to splendor and splendor.
This is supported by clear data.
During the reign of Pope Dert, the Holy See won a centuries-long secret war with witches, expelling them from the plains of Asia Minor, and in recent decades has maintained an offensive advantage.
The number of believers in the Holy See has increased by five times compared to before he took over.
What is the concept of fivefold?
It's not as simple as a fivefold increase in power and influence.
A different data may give you a more intuitive idea of their impact.
In the plains of Asia Minor, the most densely populated region of Ashan, one out of ten people was a member of the Holy See, and half were pan-believers, the kind that was about to join.
This may not seem like a lot, but don't forget that people are not isolated individuals.
They have family and friends, and these people must know something about the Holy See, and they are all potential believers, and they may be converted into true believers and join in it at some point.
Centered on the plains of Asia Minor, their sphere of influence is radiating.
The north and south islands of the Twin Peninsula, the Huayu Plateau, and even the Karthusian and Manyu military leaders, the desert of faith in the mouth of St. George, they are not at all powerful, and they have no believers.
It's just that they are not in a dominant position like the plains of Asia Minor, and in some places they must compete fiercely with the Witch Society and the Warlock Alliance, and some are passed on as secret organizations to avoid the high-handed policies of the military rulers.
The influence of the Holy See of the Aether, not to mention.
Once they exert their power with all their might, it will be even more terrifying than the joint efforts of several military leaders and grand dukes.
It's just that Pope Dert is mild-mannered and doesn't like this kind of brainless forceful methods.
All this established the supreme prestige of Pope Delt.
Once he has made it clear that he is backing someone to become the next pope, can you imagine what kind of one-sided situation will ensue?
If it weren't for the fact that Pope Delt had no direct heirs, he would even be able to break the tradition and let the succession of the Pope change from an election mechanism to a blood succession.
Although it is a bit unkind to say this, it is estimated that many people have such a blessing in their hearts, and they are glad that Pope Dert does not have such an opportunity, including St. George.
But he wants to be the successor of Pope Dert.
It is not only the needs of the Holy See that need to be met, but also the personal needs of Pope Dert.
No one is selfish, including Pope Delt, who must consider whether his successor will be able to continue his unfinished business after taking power.
If he just closes his eyes on the front foot, and he overturns all his decisions on the back foot, that is the saddest thing.
Especially things like this, which will break the old rules of the Holy See, are more likely to be repeated.
Once this kind of thing is repeated, it will not only involve the personal face of Pope Delt after his death, but also related to the safety of the Holy See.
This is the kind of thing that St. George can associate with just a little attitude on the display of Pope Dert.
How can Pope Delt not know this truth when he has been at the top of the power for so many years?
St. George seems to have discovered a huge secret, and his heart is pleasantly surprised.
Under the temptation of ascending to the top of power, the so-called racial prejudice and the so-called alien people, to hell with it.
Pope Delt said that if they can educate, they can educate, and if they can't educate, they must be able to educate.
For in a way, Pope Dert can be seen as the spokesman for the true God, and what he says is the view of the true God.
Pope Delt did not want to dwell on the subject, and continued: "What you just said is only part of it, continue. ”
"Just a part?" St. George shook slightly.
After the guesswork just now, St. George seems to have undergone a subtle change from the inside out.
Gather your mind and begin to carefully read the information in your hand again.
In the same document, he actually saw something else in it.
Battle Artifact Golden Armor!
Dragonwreck battleship Dragon Roar!
Black powder that can crack rocks and blow up ships in the sea?
Since these things are simply brushed aside, the first time St. George's attention is focused on the overall impact, and he does not even notice their existence.
This means that neither those who collect intelligence nor those who organize intelligence do not attach much importance to these things, or perhaps they themselves do not know their true value.
But St. George was clear.
The Holy Aether Holy See, an international organization with a long history of inheritance, has an internal database that is far more detailed than most grand ducal families, especially about the battle artifact such as the ancient artifact Golden Armor.
In the history books of the Holy See, whether it was the Elven Empire or the peak of the Ancient Andes Empire, their war was composed of two parts.
The army is only one part of it, and the other part is a campaign artifact.
It is difficult to say which is more important than the other.
The most well-documented is that the battle artifact has the magical power to turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.
It can make a weak army exert the combat effectiveness of a strong army, and turn an elite into a truly invincible army.
What's more, St. George has a battle artifact in front of him.
The true source of the vast magical energy that filled the oracle room was the scepter in the hand of the statue of the God of Truth with human proportions.
The vast magical energy emanating from it made it impossible to look at it directly.
This is the famous Oracle Scepter.
This room, this church, is named after it.
Not to mention, the Dragonwreck Battleship has been famous all over the world for so many years, and many people know the origin of its magical power.
That is a variant of the battle artifact, and it also has the ability to change the situation of local naval battles.
Since the Eternal Night Army Leader has forced the Kingsley family and the Cummins family to use these two family treasures at the bottom of the box, how strong is their army?
What's even more incredible is that the Eternal Night Commander still killed the Third Fleet of the Cummins family with an absolute water disadvantage, and captured more than half of it.
And the other party relied on the new weapon with the scientific name black powder, nicknamed the wrath of the mountain god.
In the past, I was only shocked by the final result, and did not think carefully about the process.
The more I think about it now, the more terrifying it becomes.
