Chapter 47: After the Mass

Early this morning, Pope Frio I led six cardinals to a Mass, praying for peace, a truce of nations, and the absence of disease and poverty

The paladins and cardinals were once again reunited, and the paladins were even smaller, as Matthew, the captain of the Pillar of Light, and Nuenvi, the captain of the Heavenly Flame, were sent to the Fayeru Empire with their respective armies on a mission, and there were currently only three paladins left in the Holy Papal Island: Jacques de Molay, commander of the Templar Order, Pafila, captain of the Miracle Navy, and Moresmu, commander of the Legion of Light and Dignity

The cardinal's team consisted of six, and since no formal order had been given to gather, the other cardinals did not rush back

His Majesty the Pope, I have an important situation to report to you, speaking from a cardinal

Please say that the Pope looked over and saw that this person was none other than Erinsath, who was in charge of all the church affairs in the Star River Continent

Although each Holy Light Sect country has its own head church, the Central Church still appoints several cardinals to be in charge of the affairs of the head church of one or more countries, among them, there is one person in charge of the Star River Continent, that is, Erin Sath, there is one person in charge of the Morun Continent, because there is only one Holy Light Sect in the Mo Lun Continent, the cardinal's work is the easiest, and there are three people in charge of the Brilliant Continent

According to the report of the General Church of the Rocard Empire and the Kingdom of Madin, some time ago, the tragic cases of men's hearts being dug out and young women dying of instant aging occurred in various parts of the Rocard Empire, and it seems that they have not happened in the territory of the Rocard Empire in recent days, but have been transferred to the territory of the Kingdom of Madin, and in the past ten days, there have been twenty-three strange tragedies of the same kind in the Kingdom of Madin, a total of seven men and sixteen women have been killed, and now the Kingdom of Madin is being invaded by the Kingdom of Sealand, and is in chaos, so the statistics are not entirely convinced, in fact, the number of victims may be more

You say that these strange tragedies are shifting from the Rocard Empire to the Kingdom of Medin, the Pope asked

Yes, in fact, the officials of the Rocard Empire have already conducted an investigation, but they have no clue, and Erin Sass replied

The situation reported by His Majesty Pope Xià Erinsas is not a recent thing, another Cardinal Rubidas said that he is in charge of the affairs of the Church of the Three Kingdoms in the north of the Brilliant Continent, and I remember that I reported to His Majesty a few months ago that in the Kingdom of Silofe, Similar tragedies occurred in both the Kingdom of Loma and the Republic of Monis, but they were not so frequent at the time, and they did not happen again soon, and the last one happened in the city of Vera in the Kingdom of West Lot, and after a few days, a similar incident occurred in the Rocard Empire, which was across the sea from the Kingdom of West Lot

This is not the most important thing, Erinsas took up the topic of Rubidas and said, I have studied this matter with Lord Rubidas, and came to the conclusion that this series of strange tragedies may have been committed by the same person or the same gang of people, and the murderer is very likely to practice some evil arts

Well, I will find a way to investigate this series of tragic cases, and with a wave of his hand, the Pope seems to not want to delve into this issue with the two cardinals

However, Rubidas did not seem to understand what the Pope meant, and he continued: "Your Majesty, we have also discovered a more important situation, in the places where these strange tragedies occurred in the Kingdom of Silofe, the Kingdom of Loma, the Republic of Monis, and the Rocard Empire, a folk goblin troupe called the 'Lebecca Song and Dance Troupe' has been in these places, and the time that this song and dance troupe has stayed there coincides with the time of the tragedy, and we feel that this is a very important clue that must be reported to His Majesty the Pope immediately

Fortunately, the Lepaca Cabaret Troupe was wearing a mask, and the ugly look on the Pope's face was not seen by everyone present

Yes, the so-called Leperka Song and Dance Troupe is a folk song and dance troupe that has risen in recent years, this song and dance troupe has no characteristics, the only famous one is the girl singer who is said to sing very well, her name is Yulimona, Irene Sass explained

Investigate very carefully, what else have you investigated?

His Majesty the Pope replied that we had investigated this Yulimona and found that her information was very suspicious, no one knew what her parents were called, and we did not know her past, and in order to verify it, we even sent people to her self-proclaimed hometown, Mesmaron County in the Kingdom of Shaliland, and with the assistance of the church on the spot, we checked all the local women of the same age and found that there were 116 people named 'Yulimona', but none of them matched the Yulimona of the Lebecca Song and Dance Troupe

So you think this girl is suspicious, maybe she and her song and dance troupe just happened to be passing by

Yes, we also thought so, although there is no evidence that those strange tragedies have any connection with the Lepaca Cabaret and Yulimona, but we have noticed another situation: Lepaca Cabaret and Yulimona were last seen more than a month ago in a small village in the Duchy of Surean in the northeast of the Rokar Empire, Erinsas said that since that time, the Lepaca Cabaret and Yulimona have not been present, and the Rocard Empire's heart-wrenching and strange tragedies have increased suddenly, and then transferred to the Kingdom of Medin, and we have also investigated that Yulimona had said that before leaving that small village, she would go to the war-torn Kingdom of Medin to sing His Majesty the PopeIt's not a coincidence, so we have to be skeptical

Then the Pope simply stopped talking, and let the two of them continue

Eilenesas and Rubidas's earnest attitude seemed to infect the others, and the casual meeting after Mass turned into a formal debriefing meeting, where cardinals and paladins exchanged opinions on the state of the Prune battlefield and its implications, reports on the two major legions of the Templar Order in the Fayye Empire, the capture of the heretics, and the recent battle between the hottest kingdom of Pole and the orcs

What was supposed to be just a short meeting after Mass was extended for four hours

When it was over, the Pope sent everyone back, leaving only Sixtus, the chief inquisitor of the Inquisition

Sixtus about what Erin and Rubidas said I want to hear your opinion The Pope asked.
