Acting Pope? Julian?

The name is so familiar...... Yes!

Is it the same Archbishop Julian I once met at Grandma Monica's orphanage?

Following the shouts of the guards, I looked towards the door with everyone.

Dressed in the Pope's pure white gold-trimmed robes, holding a scepter, with short shiny blond hair, and a fair and delicate face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

- It's Julian, that's right.

It was the purple-robed archbishop Julian that Asa and I met at the orphanage—a fanatical Mona powerhouse.

He's the acting pope now?!

That is to say-

"Are you still God's people? Do you remember God's teachings?! Entering the council chamber, without responding to the salutations of King Sarabonte and the others, Julian unceremoniously questioned in his characteristic haughty and cold tone.

"We—" His Majesty Sarabont was about to reply.

"Shut up!" Julian shouted angrily, "God has long been forgotten by you! You outreachers! ”

"We never dare to forget the great God!" His Majesty Sarabont trembled slightly, retorted with a serious expression, and then closed his lips tightly - he must be very angry now after being reprimanded by Julian, right? After all, the young Julian was only acting for the Pope. I remember that the old Pope had great respect for His Majesty at every festival.

"Your Majesty Sarabont!" Keeping his eyes fixed on His Majesty, he was silent for a while, and after exerting enough pressure, Julian asked, "- I heard that you are going to war on Tajek?" ”

"Yes!" His Majesty Sarabont took a deep breath and replied dissatisfied.

"Good!" Julian sneered, "In the land of God, with the status that God has given you, with the rights that God has given you." To satisfy your own selfish desires! Very good that! - Sarabont! Are you worthy to claim to be a citizen of God, and worthy to claim to be the king of Dolanar?! -- Have you forgotten where you are today? Is it a gift from God Almighty?! ”

"I ...... Don't dare to forget! Sarabonte's face flushed, struggling to control her anger that was about to spiral out of control.

Kindness...... Although Julian, who is the spokesman of the church, is right. But that merciless tone, deliberately embarrassing His Majesty Sarabont, must have made His Majesty the King angry, right?

"-You look like you're very dissatisfied with me as the acting pope," Julian raised his eyebrows slightly, and at the same time took a threatening step towards the king, while raising the scepter representing the authority of the church in his hand, "Huh?!" ”

"This king doesn't dare!" His Majesty trembled with rage. But he took a step back with a look of trepidation.

"And you!" After forcing His Majesty Sarabont back, Julian once again swept the people in the council chamber with a grim gaze, "You sinners, who enjoy the authority and wealth that God has given you, do things that you secretly turn your back on! Count of Hertal! - Did you say yes?! ”

"I ...... I...... I didn't! The Earl of Hertal, who was suddenly named, was really flustered for a while, bowed his head and respectfully defended, "I have always followed the teachings of God, I have always followed the teachings of God...... Always obey—" At this point, the Count of Ghartal suddenly raised his head, "I have donated 10,000 gold coins to the church this year!" ”

"Donated 10,000 gold coins?" Julian asked faintly.

"Yes!" Confident Count Getar regained his self-confidence. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Father Brion in my territory—"

"I see," Ignoring Count Hetal, Julian just waved his hand lightly. "Come in!"

In? Who did he call in?

- In response to Julian's call, two teams of priests dressed in the same blood-red cross robes walked through the door, holding identical silver spears in their hands, and their faces that looked no older than sixteen years old showed no expression.

- Blood-red priest's uniform? How come you've never seen one?

――Are these young teenagers all priests?

And...... It seems that the strength of these young priests is very strong.

Although the group of only sixteen people stood neatly behind Julian, I could clearly feel the powerful, unfathomable power emanating from the blood-colored priests who wielded silver spears.

"Ten thousand gold coins...... Count Hertal," Julian now faced him again, "do you think...... A mere 10,000 gold coins can wash away your sins? Can God ignore your sin of trading with demons? ”

"What?!" The Count of Getal was stunned for a moment, and then retorted. "I didn't!"

"Do you want to question God's power?" Julian suddenly glared, "Kill!" ”

The voice did not fall. The blood-colored priest behind him rushed to Getar with unusual speed, followed by a flash of silver light. The spear has pierced Hetar's heart!

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed together.

Say do it?! It's so fast!

"I'm ......," Getar spitted blood at the corner of his mouth and looked at the spear on his chest in disbelief, "I ...... I didn't have ......"

But before the words of defense could be finished, his head fell sharply - and he swallowed unwillingly.

Then, in a puff of green smoke, under the astonished gaze of everyone, Hetal's corpse, which had not yet fallen, quickly turned to ashes!

"It's filthy!" Julian frowned in disgust, "Even his soul has been polluted by demons!" ”

"Your Excellency Julian, this is ...... What's going on?! His Majesty Sarabont didn't care to be angry at this time, and asked in a panic.

"-What's going on?! Don't you know, King of Saranbont? Julian glanced at the king with contempt, "Some of your nobles have already been polluted by demons!" - Viscount Pavman! Suddenly he shouted again, "Are you guilty?!" ”

"I ...... I ......" the pale-faced Viscount Pavman fell to his knees involuntarily, "I ...... I'm guilty! I'm guilty! But I—"

"Pleaded guilty? Very good—" Julian smiled and nodded, then his face sank, "Kill!" ”

In the same way, Viscount Pavman, who had been pierced through the heart by a spear, was quickly reduced to ashes.

"Below—" Julian coldly glanced at the crowd stunned by what they saw, "who else?" Are there any sinners who have come into contact with demons and sold their souls?! Hurry up and confess to me, to God! ”

And also?!

"I repent! I repent! In the crowd, the famous veteran General Baion suddenly fell to his knees and knelt in front of Julian with a look of remorse, "I repent!" He said sadly, "I used to make a deal with the demons, but that's because—"

"Because your only son is seriously ill, right?" Julian asked lightly again in his emotionless tone.

"Huh?!" General Baiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded in a panic, "Yes! At that time, only the Demon Realm Thorn Mushroom could be saved—"

"So you exchanged the family heirloom mercury stone with the demons," Julian's face softened slightly, "yes?" ”

"Yes!" General Baion fell to the ground in fear, "The matter of trading with the demons has always been my heart, and I don't repent to God all the time, and I beg God to see that I am for the sake of my children—"

"Well," Julian interrupted him lightly again, "General Byon, I have heard of your repentance, and I also know that you are not only simply confessing to God, but you are also strict in accordance with God's teachings, and you are kind to the people of God in your territory, and when the church needs it, General Biang is not stingy in helping the church. ”

"Yes......" General Baion breathed a sigh of relief.

"But!" Unexpectedly, Julian's tone became stern again at this time, "But when your only son was seriously ill, when you needed God's help the most, you actually turned to the demons for help - do you dare to say that you believe in God?!" ”

"I ...... I ......," stood for a while, and General Byon finally shuddered in his defense, "I prayed to God at that time...... But it didn't work—"

"Shut up!" Julian exclaimed angrily, "You sinner even dare to question Almighty God?!" God doesn't help you because you don't have enough faith! ――When you heard that the Demon Realm Thorn Mushroom could cure your only son's illness, you turned your back on God! When you choose to trade with demons instead of praying to God, you are already a sinner who deserves to go to hell! ”

"I'm ......" looked at Julian for a moment, and General Byon fell to the ground again in fear, "I'm guilty!" I'm guilty! ”

"It's good to confess!" Julian condescendingly stretched out his right hand and gently stroked General Baiang's silver-haired forehead, "Of course, God Almighty has seen your repentance - God is merciful, God loves His children forever, and God will naturally forgive you - but that doesn't mean you won't be punished by God for your sins!" ”

"Yes......" looked at Julian in fear, and General Baion had a large sweat dripping from his forehead, "I...... Be willing to be punished! ”

"Yes!" Julian waved his slender-looking left hand, and the blood-colored priest behind him willingly handed over a glass bottle full of water, "This is holy water," Julian explained, "I believe you also know that holy water will bring blessings to the people of God, and it will also bring destruction to the demons - General Baiang!" If you truly believe in God in your heart, and God is truly the supreme and all-powerful being in your heart, then drink this bottle of holy water! This is God's punishment for you! ”

"I firmly believe it! I'm convinced! Without hesitation, General Byon took the water and drank it down, "God is indeed supreme in my heart—wow! ”

With a terrible scream, General Baion rolled to the ground in pain, and his hands were desperately tearing at the smoke-smoking throat, tearing desperately, even if he grabbed the smoke-filled flesh, even if he crushed the throat bone, he would not stop.

"Is this what General Beon said?" Looking at General Baiang, who was constantly rolling in front of him and wailing in pain, Julian sneered in disgust, "What filth! (To be continued)
