Chapter 182: The Trap

When Cassaka returned to the Dome Cathedral, he unexpectedly found that he had not returned too soon.

To be precise, except for him and the guy from Cyra, the other cardinals have already returned.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Guderian's fellow walking in with his back to him.

"Master Guderian!"

Without thinking, Kasaka called out to the Supreme Bishop, whom he barely saw very often.

As the first bishop of the Church of Tyre after Jupiter IV, Cardinal Guderian did not have much contact with them.

But few people know that this seemingly ordinary and slightly stern old man in front of him is actually one of the masterminds behind the control of the entire Bansar.

It was only after that time that Cassaka was punished by Jupiter IV that Guderian came to talk to him that he vaguely touched some shadows of this supreme bishop whose presence was quite weak.

Since then, he has been wary of Guderian and has paid close attention to his movements.

Cassaka noted that even before Jupiter IV was missing, Guderian was secretly trying to make contact with some bishops. By the time the other cardinals learned of this through their own channels, Guderian had already enlisted the support of the majority of the bishops and the loyalty of the three cardinals.

It was his unusual behavior that made Cassaka realize that Jupiter IV was in danger.

However, not only then, but even now, he still can't understand what kind of existence could pose a threat to Jupiter IV, so much so that he kills him and even makes Tyre lose contact with him.

The only thing he knew. Even their Supreme Bishop must know something. Otherwise, he would not have been able to pull the team and prepare to go before Jupiter IV had just left.

The reason why Cassaka was so out of shape at the end of the first round of voting was because he knew that only in the first round of voting in the chaos of the situation, he had the possibility of directly grabbing the Pope's position with a fast attack.

If it's still a normal voting session. Then Cassaka and Guderian are naturally rivals, mortal enemies who cannot tolerate each other.

But now the situation is different.

I don't know where the country priest named "Roland" came from, as soon as he came to Frankfurt, he used the means of building momentum to directly seize the position of pope.

In the past two days, the more Kasaka thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

- No, Roland, as the Pope, does not have any rights in the process of the Celeration, so how can I say that it is only by his gift that the Celestial Prayer can be held normally?

And. How can there be any claim that the Pope himself presided over the removal of his own Ring?

In other words, by the time the Pope personally intervened and acquiesced in the Eurah, the Aurah had lost its relevance. This is equivalent to saying that even if the Pope has nothing special, his charisma is still enough to lead the Cardinals.

Now, Cassaka knows that his only chance to turn the tables is with all the cardinals. The choice of the next pope will be decided before the second ballot begins.

In his opinion, either himself or Guderian became the pope. It's better than having that guy who doesn't know the roots take over the entire Church of Tyre.

Cassaka knew very well that if he wanted to turn the tables around, the first thing he would have to fight for was Guderian.

All cardinals knew that there were three cardinals whose promotion was closely related to Guderian, and those three could be said to belong to Guderian's faction and obey Guderian's orders.

If you can get Guderian's support. Then he has at least four votes, plus his own votes, it can basically be said to be stable.

First, however, he wanted to enlist Guderian's support -

Hearing Cassaka's call, Guderian turned his head. With a gentle smile, he asked, "What's wrong, Cardinal Kasaka." ”

His response immediately stunned Cassaka, and a wake-up call sounded in his heart.

The supreme bishop he remembered was a man with a gloomy mind and a serious expression, squinting almost all the time, and his cheekbones bulging high like an eagle. And the moment he looked back before, Cassaka almost thought he saw another Roland.

…… Mo wasn't Roland having some kind of control over Guderian's mind?

Thinking of Jupiter IV's abilities, Casaka immediately retreated. He began to question his choice.

But in the face of Guderian, who was looking at him with a smile, Cassaka realized that if he didn't say anything at the moment, he would look abnormal.

He quickly turned his brain, and then asked a question without changing his face: "We all know that you are the oldest of us, and you are second only to His Majesty the previous Pope. In the name of Tyre, I would like to ask you...... What do you think of our new pope? ”

"Views? To His Majesty Roland? ”

Guderian thought for a moment, then said something that Cassaka did not expect: "I don't think he's probably a good guy. ”

"Oh?"

Cassaka's pitch subconsciously rose two beats, and then he immediately realized that his reaction was too obvious, coughed lightly twice, and then suppressed his voice again and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"He's not a good guy. Greedy, ruthless, mad, vicious - if he had not been a pope, but an ordinary priest, I would have excommunicated him a long time ago. ”

Guderian replied earnestly.

His words made Cassaka's mood a little excited.

Although he still did not quite understand the reason for Guderian's drastic change in temperament, this did not prevent him from enlisting Guderian's support for his plan.

Cassaka took two more steps and asked, "So, do you think His Majesty Roland has the qualifications to become the Pope?" ”

"Then I want to ask you, do you think His Majesty Roland has the qualifications to become the Pope?"

Guderian asked rhetorically.

There was a slight hint of alarm in Kasaka's mind, but he quickly dispelled his thoughts.

Ever since he entered the cathedral, he felt a sense of ease that made him tired, a feeling that calmed his mood but also dulled his mind.

"I'm the opposite of what you think. His Majesty Roland is wise, decisive, powerful and courageous, and if there were a different person, maybe I would really support him as Pope. ”

"Oh? So what qualifications do you think he is not satisfied? ”

"Crazy and flamboyant."

Kasaka replied without hesitation: "He is too unsteady in his work. He had to do a lot of extravagant things...... But in reality it was not necessary at all, but he always did it to everyone. ”

As he said this, he suddenly felt a silvery-white light flash in Guderian's eyes, but he looked at it and saw that there was no such light.

It's probably an illusion.

He comforted himself in this way, who was suddenly a little uneasy. (To be continued.) )
