Almost instantly, the omnipresent white light flooded the entire third floor of the King's Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hell, what's going on!" "Oops, my eyes." The howls of ghosts and wolves resounded throughout the hall.

The white light flashed away, and when these noble lords who were suddenly flashed by the dazzling light came back to their senses, they found that there was something more in Leo's hands at some point.

The scepter is about half a meter long, the body of the scepter is very slender and delicate, and there are many intricate patterns engraved on it, the head of the scepter is in the shape of a cross, and at the top of the cross there is a jewel that constantly shimmers with white light.

This orb is not big, but it is like a dazzling star, firmly grasping the eyes of everyone in the hall, and the white holy power is slowly rotating around this orb like a nebula, which looks very mysterious and powerful.

"Does anyone know the name of this scepter?" Leo asked with a smile as he raised the scepter in his hand.

"Michael's Scepter, that's the artifact Michael's Scepter!" Soon someone recognized the identity of the scepter in Leo's hand, causing the entire hall to stir up again, and everyone's face showed an expression of excitement, even the Imperial Interior Minister Edgar.

That's an artifact!

According to rumors, even a person who is powerless can obtain a power comparable to that of a Sanctuary powerhouse after owning an artifact.

And the number of artifacts is also very rare, now there are nearly a hundred holy domain powerhouses on the continent, but the artifacts that have been discovered by people are only in single digits!

Magical, powerful, and precious, this is the impression that the artifact gives to people.

Ordinary people can't see such a thing even if they spend their entire lives, and everyone in the hall except Leo has seen an artifact for the first time, how can this not make them excited?

Not to mention anything else, just when you go out to drink and brag to other nobles in the future, there is one more bragging capital that others can't match, isn't it?

"That's right, this is Michael's Scepter." The smile on Leo's face grew even stronger, and then he asked, "Do you know that this scepter actually has a more famous nickname, what is it called?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Edgar's body, who was standing opposite Leo, suddenly shook, and his face suddenly changed drastically, because he finally figured out what Leo's purpose was, and what was the confidence of Leo's actions just now.

But Edgar apparently understood a little too late.

"Papal Scepter!" Leon, the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had just gotten up from the ground, answered Leo's question: "Michael's Scepter is more famously called, and it is called the Pope's Scepter!" ”

"That's right!" Leo laughed, gently waved the Michael's scepter in front of him, looked directly at Edgar in front of him and said, "Why is this scepter called the Papal Scepter?" Because since His Majesty the first Pope, Sanny, the Staff of Michael has been passed down from pope to generation to this day. ”

As Leo said this, Edgar's face changed again and again, and the expression on his face gradually became extremely ugly.

Leo's voice became more and more high: "Before I set out, His Majesty the Pope personally handed me this Michael's scepter, so that others might understand that this scepter is as if His Holiness Pope Enshir was there everywhere!" What I say represents the will of His Majesty the Pope and the Holy Church! ”

Leo's voice was filled with indescribable confidence and pride, as if the bell was constantly echoing throughout the three-story hall, buzzing in everyone's ears.

"Now, please tell me, Edgar." Leo looked at Edgar in front of him mockingly: "In front of me, how old are you?" What qualifications do you have for you to take me down? ”

There was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Leo, but all the contempt and disrespect in these eyes had disappeared completely without a trace.

In the ancient and mysterious Eastern Continent, the ministers there would receive a sword from His Majesty the Emperor when they traveled around the country, which means "where the sword is, it is like I am here". And now the scepter of Michael in Leo's hand is like the sword of Shang Fang given by Pope Naenhil!

To be rude to such a Leo is to despise the entire church. And the consequence of contempt for the whole church is, of course, only-

War!

And once the war is triggered, then Edgar is the number one sinner of the Empire!

Edgar's body shook suddenly, and his whole face turned pale.

Edgar, of course, knew that Leo was talking a lot of nonsense, and that this Michaelic scepter was something that Leo didn't know how to wrest control from the Pope.

But can Edgar say that? Of course he couldn't, because that would expose the Empire's secrets in the upper echelons of the Church.

What's more, even if Edgar did say it, no one would believe him at all.

At this moment, the artifact Michael's Scepter is in front of them, will the onlookers believe this artifact, which is also known as the "Pope's Scepter", or will they believe in his Edgar's empty white fangs with no evidence? The answer is obvious.

What's more, even if the Empire stabbed this matter on the side of Pope Enhill, the old but not yet confused Pope would definitely support Leo's statement and personally confirm the truth of Leo's words.

Otherwise, would His Majesty the Pope admit in front of the world that he had lost control of the Michael's Scepter, a very symbolic artifact? In that case, before Leo can have an accident first, Pope Enhill himself will fall first!

In other words, even if he knew that Leo was telling a big lie, Pope Enhill had to help Leo make it true. So this lie can no longer be called a lie, but a true fact!

When Bishop Gavin, the head of the opposition, Cheeto, the lord of the Inquisition, and Pope Enshier, the supreme leader of the church, unanimously sided with Leo because of this matter, the current Leo really represents the entire Church of Light!

What is in front of Edgar is obviously a lie, but it is also a seamless lie, a lie that is enough to become a fact, a lie that makes Edgar completely powerless!

Edgar took a hard breath and laughed dryly, "Lord Leo, this is actually just a misunderstanding..."

"Hmm." Leo cut off Edgar's words and said with a smile: "Of course it's just a misunderstanding, and this misunderstanding is because of your Edgar's stupidity!" Now—"

Leo leaned back in his chair very comfortably, picked up a cyan raisin from the fruit bowl on the table next to him with his right hand, and waved his left hand in the air like a fly: "You can get out of my sight with your people, dear Edgar." ”
