"I could feel its power in the Revelation, the power that came over my face, and it was even more chilling than the sin of arrogance of the strongest of the apostles of all generations. The Pope said with concern: "The power of the demons has been increasing, but our power has been scattered across the continent in order to balance the major kingdoms. ”

"If we can't unify the continent before the Majin invasion, this battle is likely to end in the defeat of the human race. ”

"I don't want to be at war with the demons, and those human kings will have evil intentions behind them, silently accumulate their strength, watch from the sidelines, and then quietly wait for the power of the Holy See to be slowly exhausted, and then they can steal the land and wealth that once belonged to the Holy See. ”

"The current kings are short-sighted and timid people, and they will not give their strength to help the Holy See defend against a strong enemy, even if they are ostensibly obedient to the Holy See now, but when war breaks out, they will definitely not show their attitude until the situation is clear. The Pope sighed and said, "I even suspect that these kings will lose the courage to resist under the pressure of the Majin army and surrender to the apostles. ”

"Therefore, we must remove all the kings and warlords as soon as possible, and take their power in our hands, only then can we defeat the enemy. ”

"I have never forgotten your teachings and am working this matter. Xilan's expression was serious, and from the Pope's description, he could hear the seriousness of the matter.

In fact, from the second year after His Majesty the Pope's accession to the throne, the clergy scattered across the continent began to infiltrate the kingdoms and use their will to influence or change the direction of the core of the kingdom's power.

The Crusader forces of the Temple of Judgment cooperated with the priests, secretly killing hundreds of opponents, even using the infamy of the infidels to fight the opponents, and then carried out the massacre in the open.

For the sake of lasting peace, certain sacrifices are necessary.

As a person who carried out the task of killing the enemy with his own hands, Xi Lan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this matter, the unification of the mainland was an unstoppable trend, and anyone who tried to stand in front of the wheel of history would be crushed.

"The Void Ancestral City has been completely occupied by the Crusaders, and the royal family of Peno has already existed in name only, and the situation is no different from that of the Tieliu King, I think we can move on to the next step. The Pope spoke: "Buying some nobles, suppressing some nobles, and then killing some nobles, I believe that as long as the guys with a little smarter brains will no longer have the idea of being loyal to the royal family of Penot." ”

"Leave these matters to Rang Ge......" The Pope slowly closed his eyes, he was a little tired, "You are my most valued student, the youngest of the three bishops. ”

"I used to think that if I left one day, you would be the only one who could take my place. ”

"If that's your will, I'm willing to comply. "Xilan is not like those politicians with poor acting skills, who have a strong pursuit of a certain position in their hearts, but on the surface, they are indifferent, and even shirk.

In fact, Xi Lan knew very well that covering up or pretending to shirk couldn't hide the old man in front of him at all.

"Go, I will live a few more years, and I will not die until I have defeated this apostle," the Pope's voice was low, sounding as if he were about to fall asleep, "Before I die, I will do everything in my power to clear the way for you." ”

......

When Silan walked out of the Pope's temple, Jon was standing in the doorway waiting.

The two bright red robes gradually approached, but stopped at a distance of two meters, and Xilan looked at Jon who was smiling at him, but his eyes gradually became cold.

"Lord Xilan, congratulations on your victory in Void Ancestral City, Archbishop Lang is already on his way to Void Ancestor City, if nothing else, in three days, we will be able to take full control of that city, and our army will be expanded again. Jon stroked his beard, "It's all your credit." ”

"I want to congratulate you, Lord Jon. Xi Lan licked her lips, sneered and said, "I heard that the Void Ancestor City is rich in beautiful women, and the * you raised in your own temple can be replenished again." ”

"Or rather, a change of taste?"

The smile on Jon's face froze.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, the holy maidens in the temple of the goddesses are used to serve the gods. Jon stared into Silan's eyes and said word by word.

"I know in our hearts whether those women serve the gods or you and your priests?" I heard that they don't even have underpants to make it easier for you to violate them," Silan lowered her voice and approached Jon's ear, and said in a very contemptuous tone, "Is that a temple, or a brothel?"

"You are also worthy of the position of archbishop?"

When Silan said this, Jon's face turned pale, and his breathing turned from light to heavy, as if he had been annoyed by being exposed.

"His Majesty the Pope is seriously ill, and you think that no one can interfere with you anymore," Xi Lan narrowed his eyes, and his undisguised killing intent was instantly released, "If it weren't for His Majesty's order, I would have wanted to kill you ten years ago!"

As a bishop of a hall, even though his whole body was shrouded in Xilan's terrifying murderous aura, Jon still showed his extraordinary, his demeanor quickly calmed down, and the faint smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, looking polite.

"I don't know why you have such a deep prejudice against me, and you won't believe me even if I try to explain," Jon took a deep breath, "I'm just a servant of the gods, and if you think I'm not fit to continue to be in charge of the Temple of the Goddess, then please tell His Majesty the Pope that I am willing to resign from this position." ”

"Acting is what makes me sick the most," Xilan licked her lips, "You obviously want to tear me apart in anger, but you still have to pretend to be very cultivated. ”

"But I also like to see you like this, obviously extremely angry, but helpless against me, not even daring to scold me. Xilan laughed loudly: "I like your helplessness. ”

"Because I see you're unhappy, I'm happy. ”

"Who made me the most powerful? ”

"Have I offended you?" said Jon.

"You think I'm targeting you for my own personal vendetta?" Xilan frowned and sneered, "Your guilt is not here. ”

"Open your eyes and take a good look at what has become of this castle that once symbolized sacredness?"

"Nurture *, gather people*, abuse women to satisfy your own deformed desires," the coldness in Xilan's tone seemed to turn into substance, "kill civilians, and then pretend to be saviors, and raise the surviving children to serve as their own slaves." ”

"Is this the so-called hadith of the goddess of the temple of the goddess?"

"What qualifications does such a smoky temple have to be called "sacred"?"
