Chapter Two Hundred and Three: Occupy
"Father Theo, what's the matter?" a cardinal asked in a faint tone as he looked at Father Theo, who was kneeling below, in the magnificent church.
If it weren't for Father Theo's claim that something big had happened, he probably wouldn't have met with Father Theo at all.
"My lord, I have found the Son!" Father Theo looked at Bishop Roland with great excitement.
"Are you sure? you're going to lie to me!" Roland was shocked when he heard Father Theo's words, and at the same time a little suspicious.
The Goddess of Wisdom did send down an oracle saying that a Son would descend on the Blazing City, but the news had only been spread for two days.
And this time, in the name of searching for the calamity, the church is actually looking for the Holy Son, but this Father Theo went out and found it.
"Don't worry, sir, I don't dare to lie to you about this matter!"
"Alright, take him to the temple, and I'll contact the other bishops and the pope!"
Hearing Father Theo's words, Roland planned to gather people to see for himself the Son who had been found by Father Theo.
"Your Majesty!"
In the temple, Bishop Roland, along with the other bishops, saluted a burly man with a golden mask on his face.
There were only six bishops and one pope in the temple, who also represented the highest authority of the entire church.
Originally, there were twelve bishops, but except for a few bishops stationed in Blazing City, the others would be sent to other cities to promote the faith.
Several bishops and the Pope sat separately around the round table, and after a wave of energy fluctuations on the round table, the remaining six vacant positions were projected one after another, which were bishops stationed in other cities.
"Your Majesty!"
Several people in the video respectfully saluted the Pope headed by them, and then waited quietly, the Pope rarely summoned them, this time in such a hurry, it was obvious that something big had happened.
"Word from Roland, the Son has been found!" the Pope's strong voice echoed throughout the Temple.
As he spoke, everyone's eyes looked at Roland, and he was also clear about the matter of the Holy Son, but he didn't expect to be found so quickly, and most of the eyes looking at Roland were a little suspicious.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have ordered someone to bring it here!" Roland got up and brought Father Theo and Dunley with him.
At this time, all eyes were taken away from Roland, directly ignoring Father Theo, and they all looked at Dunley, wanting to see what difference was made between the rumored Son.
"I want to talk to you alone!" Before everyone could speak, Dunley walked directly to the Pope's side and made such a condition.
"Okay, come with me!"
Unexpectedly, the Pope actually agreed, and immediately took Dunley to a side hall.
"First of all, for the sake of whether you are the Holy Son or not, I am a little curious about what you want to say to me!"
The Pope did it on his own, and looked like an ordinary person, and all the momentum and majesty on his body disappeared.
"How do you know I'm not the Son?" said Dunley, slowly approaching the Pope.
"Do you still want to verify it!"
The Pope didn't pay any attention to Dunli's movements, and he didn't even notice the vein-like lines that faintly appeared on the wall.
"No, it's up to me to decide whether it's the Holy Son or not!"
At this time, Dunley's voice completely changed, his eyes turned black, and he reached out to shake the Pope.
"It's really you!" the Pope seemed to have guessed Dunley's identity.
"What can you guess? Haven't you always believed in me? I'm right in front of your eyes right now!"
"You're not ,,," The Pope was in a very uncomfortable situation right now, and Dunley's void grip seemed to capture his heart, and he could kill himself at any time.
"I'm surprised that you were able to find out the truth, it's scary!"
"You won't succeed, this world, this ,,," Before the Pope could finish speaking, Dunley shook it fiercely in his hand, and the Pope's whole person slowly fell.
"Hmph, idiot, you want to use the energy in this side hall to kill me!"
Dunley looked at the Pope who fell to the ground disdainfully, and then wisps of energy grew on his body and pierced into the Pope's body.
"I am the Son!"
As he spoke, the Pope, who had fallen to the ground, stood up again, the black light in his eyes flashed, and he returned to normal.
In the temple, the twelve bishops and Father Theo were all waiting anxiously, especially Father Theo, who was even more worried, he had been in the temple for so long, if there was really any problem, his position that he had managed to climb up would be gone.
"Your Majesty!"
Just when he was in a hurry, the Pope walked in again with Dunley.
"I declare that Dunli Shikaru, our Holy Son, is only below me!"
After returning to his seat, the Pope directly announced his decision, not giving anyone else a chance to speak at all.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a little out of place,"
Among the twelve bishops, one of them asked under pressure, after all, the status of the Holy Son had already posed a lot of threats to them.
"This is an oracle!" the Pope said straight back what everyone wanted to say.
The twelve bishops looked at each other and could only agree to compromise on the matter.
"Three days later, a ceremony will be held to announce the identity of the entire Blazing City, and at the same time, the affairs of the calamities must be stepped up, from now on, if there are calamities in the cities you are stationing, all of them will be sent here!"
The Pope commanded solemnly to the twelve bishops.
"Yes!"
"It's just that I don't know why, the chances of calamities in other cities are very small, far less than those of Blazing City!"
"Don't worry, in the future, there will be more calamities!"
This series of reactions of the pope made the twelve bishops a little confused, and there seemed to be something wrong with today's pope and in the past, but specifically, they couldn't say, it was just a feeling.
After the order, the entire temple was left with the Pope and Dunley alone, and only Bishop Roland and Father Theo remained.
"How many calamities are there in the church now!"
The Pope asked, looking at Bishop Roland, while Dunley stood obediently behind him.
"This," Roland didn't know how to answer for a moment when he heard the Pope ask, this kind of thing was not done by him.
"There are only a dozen of them, and most of them have been stripped of their energy and executed!"
Father Theo, who was on the side, saw Bishop Roland's embarrassment, and hurriedly spoke.
"Then keep it, I'm still useful!"
"Yes!"
Father Theo excitedly agreed, knowing that he usually did not have the opportunity to meet the Pope.
"Well, Bishop Roland, I order you to collect the Calamers in the Blazing City starting tomorrow, but don't kill them, I'm still useful!"
"Yes!"
Although he didn't know what the Pope's reason was, he had already given orders, and he could only agree.
"And you, go get a holy artifact, help me spy on the Shikaru family, and watch their every move!"
"His Majesty, the Hikaru family is the elder brother of the Holy Son, is this done,"
Father Theo said this deliberately, he had a holiday with Clente, and Dunley naturally knew him, and now that Dunley's status was rising, he had to stammer.
"Krent Hikaru, the patriarch of the Hikaru family, there is a rumor that there is a teacher, I need you to investigate!"
As if he hadn't heard Father Theo's words, the Pope commanded himself, and Father Theo could only receive the order one by one.
"Let's go!"
After thinking about it for a while, and feeling that nothing had been left behind, the Pope motioned for the two to leave.
After the two men left, Dunley found a place to sit down alone, and sat face to face with the Pope.
"How's things going for you?"
Dunley asked the Pope, and at this time, the Pope seemed to be a different person, and a neutral voice came from the Pope's chest.
"I don't have a clue yet, I'm still recovering my strength little by little, and the clue of the Abyssal Bloodline has also been broken!"
"Things can't be delayed, how long will you have to go?"
Hearing this answer, Dunley seemed very dissatisfied, and asked the voice in his chest with some dissatisfaction.
