"Mobbs, I want to have a banquet to celebrate my Kelly baby's recovery, what do you think?" Suddenly, Arroyo spoke.
"Banquet?" Mobbs was stunned for a moment, then his eyes froze, as if he thought of something, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a stern color, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”
"I'm sure!" Arroyo nodded seriously and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for Kelly's breakthrough, this banquet should have been held three years ago, and I don't want to drag it out any longer!" ”
"Good!" Mobbs slammed up and walked up to Arroyo and patted him on the shoulder: "Since you have decided, then I will naturally give my full support!" ”
"Good brother!" Arroyo also punched Mobbs in the chest with a look of relief.
"Father, Uncle Mobbs, what are you talking about?" Seeing the two of them suddenly look so solemn, Kelly's beautiful eyes were full of doubt. Not only her, but Qin Yue on the side was also confused, wasn't it just holding a banquet? How can it be the same as going to the battlefield, is it possible that there is any special meaning for the people of the Western Holy See to hold a banquet? Or is it a special custom on their side?
"Huh!" Seeing Kelly's cute appearance full of doubts, Arroyo smiled slightly, and then glanced at Qin Yue on the side, and did not shy away from it, and said to Kelly: "I want to announce that you will be my successor at the banquet, okay, baby?" ”
"Successor?" Kelly's mouth opened slightly, looking very surprised. At the same time, she also understood why her father and Mobbs were so cautious.
Arroyo's so-called successor is, of course, to take over his position as the "Knight of Judgment", one of the four Knights of Light of the Holy See. According to the practice of the Western Holy See, the successors of the four knights of light are personally appointed by the four knights themselves, as long as the pope of the Holy See does not object, then the identity of the designated person is valid, and other people and even several cardinals whose status is second only to the pope do not interfere.
In other words, if one of the four knights is appointed, as long as he is a member of the Western Holy See, no matter how weak and low his status is, he can become the successor of the four knights. Of course, as the designated successor, you must have a good martial arts talent and a pious belief in the Lord. It doesn't matter if you have a good martial arts talent, even if your strength is almost there, the powerful resources of the Western Holy See are enough to cultivate it into a generation of strong people in a short period of time. Needless to say, the Western Holy See is a religious organization, if you can't even do this, let alone be the successor of the Four Knights, I'm afraid you won't even have the qualifications to officially join the Western Holy See.
The designation of one of the four knights of light, good martial arts talent, and faith in the Lord, all of these conditions are not lacking in Kelly Arroyo. It stands to reason that becoming the successor of the "Knight of Judgment" is a very trivial matter, but Kelly's martial arts talent can only cultivate the ancient martial arts of the East, but cannot practice the traditional fighting spirit of the West.
As mentioned before, the Western Holy See is a relatively exclusive organization, and when Kelly practiced Eastern Ancient Martial Arts, she was strongly opposed by many people, and it was Arroyo and Mobbs who used their power to forcibly suppress it and personally intercede with the Pope to suppress these objections. It is not easy to even cultivate the Oriental Martial Arts, let alone become the successor of one of the Four Great Knights.
The position of the Four Knights of Light in the Western Curia is only under the sacrifice of the Pope, the cardinals, and the patriarchs of the Pontifical Council. Among them, the Pope is in charge of the overall situation, the cardinal as an assistant is also a noble status, and the Pontifical Council only has the right to advise and supervise, mainly responsible for issuing instructions to subordinate churches around the world and overall management, although the status is very high, but in terms of real power, it is far inferior to the four knights of light.
The "Knights of the Inquisition" Wright Arroyo, who was in charge of the "Knights of the Inquisition" (formerly known as the "Inquisition"), was responsible for investigating, adjudicating, and adjudicating the existence of the Western Holy See as "heretical". The term "heretical" refers to all individuals or forces that are hostile to the Western Holy See.
George Mobbs, the "Knight of Discipline", is in charge of the "Arbitration Corps", which is mainly responsible for punishing, detaining, or executing errant members of the Holy See, and maintaining the law of the Western Holy See.
Will Grande, the "Guardian Knight", is in charge of the "Guardian Legion", mainly responsible for guarding the "Holy Land" Van City from the invasion of foreign hostile forces.
The "Holy Knight" Jason Andrigo, who is in charge of the "Holy Guard", directly obeys the Pope and belongs to the Pope's personal guard.
Each Knight of Light controls a powerful army of warriors, which can be said to have gathered the most elite martial arts forces in the entire Western Holy See, and the power is self-evident. In particular, Arroyo, as a "knight of judgment", has the power to directly identify "heretics" and conduct trials and judgments, and except for the Pope, everyone else has only the responsibility of cooperation and support, but has no power to restrain or interfere. In other words, as long as Arroyo decided that someone or a certain force was a "heretic", he could directly mobilize the "Knights of the Trial" to convince him, and even the cardinal had no right to say anything unless the Pope objected.
With such a powerful "knight of judgment", how could many conservative high-ranking members of the Holy See accept an "outsider" who practiced ancient oriental martial arts as their heir? It is conceivable that at that time, Arroyo would definitely cause an uproar in the entire Western Holy See as long as he announced the news at the banquet. Although these people do not have the right to object, the voice of their subordinates will inevitably affect the decision of the Pope, who is the supreme decision-maker of the Western Holy See. This is what Arroyo and Mobbs are most worried about.
Kelly, who was born and raised in the Holy See, was also very aware of this qiē, so since she had studied the ancient martial arts of the East, she had never thought of taking over her father's position, and Arroyo had never revealed this meaning to her before that. Now, Arroyo suddenly said such a sentence to her, which suddenly made her a little overwhelmed. She understands the impact of her father's decision, and how much pressure it will put on her father.
If the situation escalated, Arroyo might be punished for it, which was not what she wanted. After a moment of silence, Kelly slowly shook her head: "I'm sorry, father, I don't want to be your successor!" ”
"Huh?" Arroyo frowned, then stretched out again, stepped forward and patted Kelly's little face gently, and smiled: "Hehe, Kelly baby, I understand your concerns, you don't want me to make it difficult, but don't worry, although this matter is a little difficult, it is not completely impossible, I and your Uncle Mobbs have already thought about it......"
"That's right!" Mobbs said: "The most fierce opposition to you as Arroyo's successor is none other than those old guys in the Pontifical Council, although others will also be dissatisfied, but not so resolute, first His Majesty the Pope, when you practiced the ancient martial arts of the East, Arroyo and I pleaded with His Majesty the Pope, and finally obtained the consent of His Majesty the Pope, since His Majesty agreed at that time, then he will definitely not oppose it now." ”
"The second is the three cardinals, among the three cardinals, Lord Edros has a good relationship with us, so naturally he will not object, Lord Field's energy is focused on martial arts, and even the big and small matters within the Holy See are no longer too concerning, and I don't think I will oppose it, as for the remaining Lord Lorifin, he has always been the most disgusted with the ancient martial arts of the East, and his opposition is certain, but it doesn't matter, I think a 'punishment knight' successor position can probably calm his dissatisfaction."
"As long as His Majesty the Pope and the three cardinals are not opposed, then the two guys Grande and Andrigo and the members of the Holy See below will not rush forward, so the only thing we are worried about is the stubborn old guys in the Pontifical Council, these old guys will only point fingers and rely on the old to sell the old on weekdays, I have long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, this time, if they dare to make too much trouble, I will definitely give them a little color!"
"Don't ......" Hearing Mobbs's last words, Kelly was shocked and hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Mobbs, those elders and elders of the Pontifical Council are all elders who have made a lot of contributions to the Holy See, you must not have conflicts with them for my business, this is not good for everyone......
"Kelly baby, don't worry, your Uncle Mobbs and I are both measured people, in short, you don't care about these things, and prepare to be my successor with peace of mind!" Arroyo pinched Kelly's cheek and said dotingly.
"Father, why do you want me to be your successor? Didn't you just want me to be happy and safe all along? Moreover, you are still in the prime of life, so you don't need to rush the matter of appointing a successor, otherwise, we should delay this matter, right? Kelly pleaded.
"Kelly baby~" Arroyo gently stroked Kelly's show, and shook her head lovingly: "Father can promise you other things, but only this one thing can't, and you will understand the reason later......"
"Little Kelly, neither your father nor I will harm you, and you will know in the future that what we have done is for your good!" Mobbs also said softly.
"Okay!" Despite her deep resistance, Kelly finally nodded her head in agreement. Over the years, whenever she has any wishes, her father will do his best to satisfy her, and he will never be harsh on her, this is the first time that her father has made a request to her since she was born, and she can't refuse and can't bear to refuse.
Seeing this, Qin Yue, who was sitting silently on the side, also roughly sniffed out something, it was nothing more than those things fighting for power and profit in the Western Holy See, he had heard Fang Shaoyu say something similar last time he was in the Dragon Tooth Department, it seems that the struggle for power and factions is really everywhere, and even a religious organization like the Western Holy See that exists for faith is not exempt from vulgarity. But what does this have to do with him? The so-called "nothing to do with himself", he is just a passer-by here.
Of course, if something happened to Kelly, he wouldn't have stood idly by, after all, this was the first time he had met a girl who was very similar to him.
