Chapter 441: Making Friends with Cannons!
Outside the city in the clouds, there was a big tent somewhere, brightly lit, and Ji Li's face sank like water, sitting on a chair, without saying a word.
Sigma glanced at her secretly from time to time, sneakily, and didn't speak, and finally it was the yellow sand paladin who broke the silence, glanced at him, and said angrily: "What do you see?" ”
The necromancer let out a long sigh: "I'm worried, if the cognitive world collapses, is swallowed by the holy light, and turns into a big torch without saying a word, then I won't be able to speak clearly." ”
"I'm fine......" Gilly sighed, her eyes full of worry and hesitation, "but if this matter is known to ordinary believers and clergy......"
"They wouldn't believe it if they didn't have strong evidence...... And, if they believe it, things will be worse. Sigma said softly, "Everything that is remembered and touched is all a hoax and a lie, and the Holy See will be in ruin for at least a hundred years, and no one will believe them again." ”
Gilly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and she whispered, "How can this be......"
Not long ago, she had received an urgent order from the Acting Pope to lead a team of elite paladins to the Fire Crystal Flower Hotel, and she felt that something was wrong...... Sure enough, Clement, in his capacity as acting pope, ordered her to take Sigma with him and leave Cloudsdale with him.
It was an upright conspiracy, an order that would be in full view, and the discipline of the clergy and the prestige of Clement made it impossible for Gilly to disobey, and Sigma would not resist...... Because the executor is her.
The two of them left Cloudsdale with the accompanying paladins and went to the barracks of the clergy outside the city. Sigma told her exactly what had happened and what Clement had confessed.
Thinking of this, she glared again. He complained: "At the hotel, I motioned for you to break out of the siege and escape. Why are you disobedient? ”
Sigma shrugged, "Escape? Clement wishes I could escape, and if I show uncooperative resistance, he will be able to take me down legitimately, and if I do it now, the odds of victory are too small...... Once the clergy see me fighting Clement, who do you say they will help? What will you think of me? Clement takes advantage of the tendency of public opinion to easily beat my popularity to the point of indifference. ”
He glanced at Ji Li: "At the same time as taking me, he will also remove your command in the name of dereliction of duty, then the two of us will have no chance to turn the tables at all......"
"Turnaround?" Kiri sighed. "We don't have strong evidence, we don't have enough fighting power to fight against Clement, and even for the sake of the reputation and future of the Holy See, we can't expose him in a dignified manner, how can we turn the tables? Sigma...... There is no longer a chance, and if things are as you say, the moment Clement pushes the Light of Destruction out of Cloudsdale, he will become an eternal hero to the entire Holy See, and his prestige will rival that of even the greatest popes of all time. In this case, no one dares to accuse him of being a liar, not even the Holy See......"
She shook her head and smiled wryly, "Maybe the only news to be thankful about." It's just that Cloudsdale won't fall, right...... After all, in the script that the guy painstakingly planned, he would save the Holy City in the end. ”
Sigma was lost in thought, his eyes twinkle. Knocking lightly on the door of her head, Kiri looked at him. Knowing that he seemed to have encountered something he couldn't understand, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I still don't believe it...... Clement's plan was as simple as that. He must have been hiding something very important. Sigma shook her head, "If that's his plan, why would he admit the truth to me, just to keep me out?" And about the ruins, he doesn't have to tell me so much, just lying to me, it can be explained more perfectly......"
The necromancer pinched his eyebrows and muttered, "Besides, if he has a secret agreement with the Temple, what is the specific content of the transaction?" What bargaining chips could make the Templars agree to accompany Clement in such a play and push their own prestige to the forefront of public opinion on the mainland? Moreover, if it was just a transaction, Clement must have the hole cards that made the Temple scruples, otherwise once the Temple shook off the deal between the two, the Holy See would be finished......"
Jili looked at Sigma who was muttering to herself, her eyes gradually brightened, and she asked eagerly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "What?" Do you really have a solution to all this? ”
"What's the ......," Sigma smiled bitterly, "what's the situation now, haven't you already said it?" We have neither strong evidence nor the fighting power that can match the fighting power of Clement, and we do not even dare to publish the truth, which has long been invincible...... I'm just doing my best, and perhaps with a closer analysis, we can guess his true purpose. ”
Ji Li blinked: "And then?" ”
"And then? At this point, we can't stop Clement from doing this play, but we can think about the future. Sigma said softly, little by little, the murderous intent in his eyes grew, "If Clement is really a conspirator, then after this incident, he must die, let the saints who saved the Holy See die of serious injuries, whatever his purpose is...... I don't want him to live anymore because I don't know what else he can do. ”
The necromancer looked at Ji Li and said softly: "After all, for him, you know too much, I can't base your life on his mercy, and the Holy See can't be in the hands of a mad pope who has no taboos, this kind of shocking deception and dirty means, he did it the first time, there will definitely be a second time." ”
When Ji Li heard this, her eyes flowed, this may be the nature of a girl, it is obviously a very important thing, but her focus is very strange, hearing that Sigma is willing to kill the acting pope for her, she can't help but be greatly moved: "Sigma, you ......"
But before the girl's heart-filled lines could be spoken, Sigma twisted her head to the side: "Hmph, it's not for you to kill Clement, number one." In addition to you, I am also an insider. This old thing is sinister and cunning, and he hides a knife in his smile. I don't feel comfortable if I don't kill him. Second, if he did all this with the aim of taking control of the Holy See, then the Holy See would also be in danger, and Cloudsdale would lead him to a rather dangerous extreme, even plunging the whole of Noren into a crisis, and the third ......"
The girl's heart was shattered, and Ji Li was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Hey! Do you still have a conscience! The big Kaizi that the old lady worked so hard to catch suddenly has a tendency to be the enemy of the world for me, and I haven't had time to enjoy this vanity, and you have made me disillusioned! Isn't it okay to be a little considerate of my girlish heart! ”
Sigma snorted disdainfully. Shaking his finger: "Think about it, Jili, if I hold you in one hand and my heart in the other, and say with affection, ah, dear, for you, I will not hesitate to be the enemy of the world...... What do you think? ”
The yellow duan paladin pondered for a moment. With a tangled expression, he said, "I want to ...... I'll throw up. ”
"So, this style of painting doesn't suit me at all." Sigma shrugged, "Accept your fate, the big Kaizi you worked so hard to catch is not suitable for this kind of thing." Break your unrealistic fantasies with your right hand. ”
Having said that, Jili still muttered, "I always feel like I'm losing......"
Sigma reached out and took Gilly's hand. A faint smile: "The goods have been sold and will not be returned." It's useless to complain, girl, just accept your fate. ”
Jili also took Sigma's hand with her backhand. The palms of the two wanted to be close, and they could feel each other's warmth and heartbeat, and an inexplicable sense of peace of mind lingered between the two, calming the dazed hearts and making the shocked souls feel safe.
The shock of hearing the truth at first, and the hesitation of hearing Sigma's crazy plan to snipe the acting pope, all the unease has been diluted by the mutual complaints just now, and this is how she gets along with Sigma...... There is no fleshy and greasy affectionate vein, only unscrupulous complaining to each other, she is no longer a heroic paladin, just a lively and naughty, ordinary girl with a wide range of interests, only in front of Sigma, she can show the most true self, along the way, the frantic daily frustration between the two has run through the memory, this is how they get along.
More reassuring than all the mountain alliances and sea oaths and sweet words, he will always be on his side.
Gilly closed her eyes, feeling the rare tranquility, and after a moment, she asked softly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"First of all, contact His Majesty the Pope, who is far away on Heavenly Mountain, and explain to him the current situation, I want to know their attitude and determination, and borrow something from them." Sigma said calmly, "As for timing...... On Advent Day, after Clement pushes the light of destruction out of Cloudsdale and withstands the explosion that annihilates everything, his vigilance, combat power and reaction speed will drop to the lowest ever, because he is still a human after all, and if he is a human being, he will have a moment of relaxation, and surviving the explosion is the last step of his plan, landing on the ground and being discovered, he will become one of the greatest heroes in the history of the Holy See, under this mentality and expectation, he will definitely let his guard down. ”
"Moreover, on the day when the black clouds crushed the city, he controlled the core of the shelter to break through the thunderclouds in the sky, and the consumption was so great that it must have left a dark wound, and when the light of destruction exploded, he would definitely be injured deliberately for the sake of truth, so as to bring out the greatness and difficulty of this feat. So on the whole, at that time, it must be the worst moment for him, and my plan is to kill him at the moment when he is about to step on the peak of his life! ”
Gilly looked at Sigma in shock: "You don't wait for the Holy See and Celestius to return?" ”
"It's too late! How could Clement not have imagined! When the two legends return from Paradise Mountain, most of Clement's home advantage will disappear immediately, and if the two crowns know the truth and insist on being his enemy, he will immediately fall into an embarrassing passivity, so he must have prepared in advance! Sigma clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "But he must not have imagined that I would be crazy enough to attack him directly under such a disadvantage, and I would kill him!" ”
"But ......," Ji Li was a little incoherent, "no matter how bad his state is, he is also one of the strongest legends in the world, how can he be killed so easily!" Besides, he still has the will of the people, once the clergy witness you making a move against Clement, the situation will be reversed in an instant, and even the kingdom of death will not be able to protect you! ”
"So, there are two important points in this matter." Sigma cocked her fingers, "First, find the backstabber, I look at the temple is suitable." Second, kill him in a way that Clement would never have expected, and make sure to kill him with one hit! ”
Gilly asked, "In what unexpected way?" ”
The necromancer raised his head and looked in the direction of Cloudsdale through the thick tent, he was silent for a moment and sneered, "Of course it's the main cannon on the Archangel!" This time, I'll let Clement have a good understanding of what it means to make friends with guns! ”
