Chapter 2279: The National Demon (II)

Bertrand?!

At this moment, the hall was completely silent, and all the cardinals who were still trembling and did not dare to raise their heads suddenly raised their heads, staring at Bertrand on the throne of St. Peter's with burning eyes, and their hearts were full of thoughts!

What St. Peter's Throne meant, these cardinals, knew all too well. Although in the eyes of the outside world, this throne is only designed by Bernini, a wooden chair with a radiant shrine of glory and ivory ornaments above the throne, and a gilded bronze seat with two cherubs on the back of the chair!

But in the hearts of all the people of the Holy See, they understand that in the teachings of the Holy See, sitting on this seat means that they have the key to the kingdom of heaven and the triple crown of the Pope! And according to legend, that wooden chair is the real throne of St. Peter!

In short, the Pope is the only one who is qualified to sit on this chair in the Holy See, and as long as he sits on this chair, it means that from now on you can be crowned Pope!

But now sitting on this chair is not Pope Francis, who was elected by a cardinal, but Bertran, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and the meaning of this is self-evident!

Could it really be that the Pope was cocooned and gave Bertrand too much power, making him hot-headed and irrational, taking advantage of the current enemy, so he couldn't take the Pope's position?!

But according to the Franciscan Pope's hand, it seems that Bertrand should not have snatched this seat so easily, right?

And if Bertrand really does this, then what is the meaning of the doctrine of the Holy See, and in the future, the position of the Pope will no longer need the recommendation of cardinals, as long as you have enough strength, you can sit on it?!

All this, what the hell is going on, is Bertrand crazy and replacing the Pope, or is there something else hidden?!

"Bertrand, who gave you the qualifications to sit on this throne? What about the Pope, where is he? After seeing the person sitting on the throne clearly, Antonio's face suddenly flashed with anger, and he suddenly got up, looked directly at Bertrand on the throne, and rebuked in a deep voice: "You are disrespectful to my lord, a rebellion against the Holy See, you are a heretic!" ”

"His Holiness the Pope is not here now, and before he left, he entrusted all the affairs of the Holy See to me, and let me deal with it." Bertrand still sat on the throne as if he hadn't heard of Antonio's rebuke, looking down at the cardinals under the throne, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "As for the name of heresy that Bishop Antonio said, I don't dare to agree, now I am in charge of the Inquisition, and what I rule is heresy, I have not ruled it, why is this name?" ”

"What the Great Grandmaster said is right, the Great Grandmaster is in control of the Inquisition, he has no ruling, how can there be heresy?! Antonio, you are so disrespectful to the Grand Master, I think you are a real heretic! Without waiting for Antonio to speak, John on the side answered.

"Hahaha, we, the Holy See, have fallen to such a point! Even the position of the Pope can be taken by someone at will! When Antonio heard this, he burst out laughing, his laughter was full of sadness, he looked around the field, and said indifferently: "There is an ancient saying in China, when a country is about to die, there will be demons." Now that I am surrounded by demons in the Vatican, and national demons are emerging in an endless stream, it really proves the accuracy of this sentence, there are so many national demons, why should my Holy See not be destroyed by heresy! ”

When the words fell, there was silence in the room, except for John, and the rest of the cardinals had a look of concern on their faces. Isn't it as Antonio said, that the kingdom will die, and the demon will appear!

"Bishop Antonio, you have made another mistake, I have not taken the place of the Pope, whether it is past, present, or future, he is the only glory of my Holy See, he is irreplaceable and the only, even I, Bertran, can not take this place that belongs to him, the whip of shepherding for God is still in his hands!"

Hearing this, Bertrand chuckled, shook his head slowly, with a look of pity on his face, and said lightly to Antonio: "As for the national demon you said, I agree with your words, but in my eyes, this national demon is not us, but a person like Bishop Antonio, if there is no person like you, my Holy See will surely achieve unprecedented unity and unity, and around the great Pope, what in this world, can not be covered by the glory of my Holy See!" ”

"Where the hell is the Pope? You let him out, and I'm going to confront him face to face!" Antonio's eyes were almost on fire, staring at Bertrand, and after a few deep reprimands, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Where did the real throne of St. Peter go, and where did you get it?" ”

As the words fell, the cardinal in the hall looked up and looked at the throne beneath Bertrand! As Antonio said, there is no trace of the throne left by St. Peter on the bronze throne, which was not discovered by anyone because of the darkness before!

The reason why St. Peter's Throne has a unique meaning is because it is on this relic of St. Peter! Legend has it that the wooden throne holds the key to the kingdom of heaven, and as long as you have this throne, you can ascend to the kingdom of heaven!

And for the Holy See, this is a very important treasure, it is precisely because of the existence of this St. Peter's relic, so those sects in the world will recognize the legitimacy of the Holy See!

And now that this true throne, the key to heaven, is gone, how can this not surprise them!

"The key to the kingdom of heaven has been taken away by the Pope! If I hadn't been taken away by him, how would I dare to sit in this most divine and holy position, which only he deserves! It seemed that Bertrand was not surprised by everyone's discovery, and after indifferently glancing at the gap, he chuckled: "Do you still think that I am a careerist and an apostate?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the cardinals in the arena who were still hanging by a thread breathed a sigh of relief. This relic of St. Peter is so important that if it were lost, it would be a great deal, and now knowing that it is still in the Pope's custody means that the legitimacy of the Holy See will not be questioned by the world!

"Where is the Pope, let him come out, I want to ask him how we should face the current situation, whether the glory of our Holy See will be destroyed, or it will go straight to the sky, all in his thoughts!" Although his heart was a little calm, Antonio still did not give up his intention to meet the Pope, and asked Bertrand in a deep voice.

"As I said, His Holiness the Pope is not here!" Bertrand opened his mouth lightly and said slowly: "And his trip is also for the glory of my Holy See, for the glory of my lord to spread the earth, he must accomplish one thing!" ”

"What is more crucial than the attack of heresy, more important than the fall of my Holy See?" Antonio's face was gloomy, and he asked word by word, "Tell me, where has the Pope gone, and what is he going to do?" ”

"I'm sorry, Cardinal, you don't deserve to know about these things!" When Bertrand heard this, a mocking smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "I can only tell you that everything the Pope has done has nothing to question, and it is also for the sake of being able to spread the light of my Lord in this world and bathe all the lambs under the shepherd!" ”

"If you don't want to say it, I'll check it slowly! I don't believe that you can do it so seamlessly, I just hope that everything will be as you say, that you have not usurped the position of the Pope, and that you Knights Templar will not be harmed by this turmoil! Hearing this, Antonio's eyes changed, and after a moment of silence, he made a decision in his heart, and after coldly leaving a paragraph, he no longer had any intention of staying here, and turned around to walk out of the door!

"I'm sorry!" But before Antonio could take a step, the smile on the corner of Bertran's mouth became much heavier, and then he said lightly: "From the moment you came in, the church has been blocked, and the entire Vatican has entered a state of martial law!" Cardinal, you have nowhere to go but here! ”
