I don't understand why you always put the blame on His Majesty Ishta?" Swell asked, puzzled.

Ishtar had the grace of knowing him, and it was Ishtar who personally discovered him and promoted him from a clergyman to a cardinal with the right to succeed him as a cardinal. It can be said that Swell's ontological personality has become a little perverse, which has more or less something to do with the fact that he knows from Celent that Ishta, whom he regarded as his mentor, has fallen.

"Hehe, it seems that you have been closed to news for too long, and you don't even know that you were sold by Istah, and you are still thinking about his goodness!" the clone sneered, sarcastically unceremoniously.

"Do you have any secrets that I don't know?" Swell's face sank, the doppelganger was so unbelievable that he repeatedly slandered Ishta's crown, and if he didn't say the reason for doing so, Swell would definitely not let him go.

"You're still grateful to Ishtar, because you don't know what happened to me when I returned to the Holy See branch from the front line of disaster relief as you!" the doppelganger took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, although it had been fifteen years since this incident, every time he thought about it, a mixture of jealousy, anger, and loss would gnaw at his heart like a poisonous snake.

"What happened to you?" Swell suddenly felt a sense of loss, he already had a premonition that after the doppelganger told what happened back then, he would definitely lose something, most likely the mentor-apprentice relationship with Istah. After all, the clone had just been created, and it was extremely similar to him in every way, and the encounter that the clone couldn't accept must be the same as him.

"I have gone through a lot of hardships and overcome many difficulties to complete the disaster relief mission in your place, and when I returned to the branch of the Holy See, I found that Ishtar had one more person by his side. After the doppelganger glanced at Swell meaningfully, he stabilized his emotions and began to speak unhurriedly.

"One more person, what kind of person?" Swell's curiosity was finally piqued by the clone, he didn't understand how one person could make his clone so hostile.

"Olufi, a new cardinal. The doppelganger said with a smile.

"New cardinal?" Swell exclaimed, as the cardinal's successor to the cardinal, there would normally be only one under each cardinal. According to the doppelganger, Ishtar has a new cardinal by his side, doesn't that mean that he has been stripped of the cardinal's succession?

"You guessed it right, although Ishtar did not revoke our cardinal's position, Olufi undoubtedly has the Sacred Heart of Estah, and his rank is before us, and Ishtar has been confirmed as the new Archbishop Heir!" the doppelganger sneered, like a hammer to make Swell dizzy, he didn't understand why Ista chose to do so.

"You're lying!" shouted Swell, in disbelief.

"You can go and inquire, this matter was spread throughout the imperial capital at that time!" The doppelganger ruthlessly extinguished Swell's last illusion, and poured a basin of cold water on him by the way: "The dignified Cardinal Ishtar actually reversed his word, not only robbed Cardinal Swell, who had been established as the successor of the cardinal archbishop and rushed to the disaster area as soon as possible after the catastrophe to be responsible for the rescue, and made great contributions, but also handed over the succession to a sudden appearance, as if jokingly. A little-known and creditless nobody! At that time, this incident became a laughing stock in the entire imperial capital! To put it bluntly, in hindsight, the fact that the Holy See branch had fallen into such a miserable situation today was the result of Ishta's child's play at that time!"

"This can't be! His Majesty Estace, who is proficient in oracles, would never make such a low-level mistake!" Swil protested in vain.

"Proficient in oracles?hmph, you're right, Esta may have known something through oracles that will rob you of your succession and hand it over to the one who has been hidden under a silver mask all along, and does not dare to show his true face!" Swell didn't notice that the clone had quietly changed his concept, saying that the cardinal's succession was his, in order to unwittingly arouse his resentment towards Ishtar.

"But in the end, the position of Cardinal Archbishop still fell on your head, which means that Olufi is not the person who was prophesied by Ishta!" Swell spoke with the final facts, which were almost his last resistance.

"I earned it myself, and it has nothing to do with Ishta. The clone sneered constantly, as if he was ready to use up all the year's sneer quota today.

"Did you mean you interfered with Estine's oracle technique and skewed his prophecy?" Swell was taken aback, he didn't expect the clone to be able to accomplish this seemingly impossible task.

As we all know, although the accuracy of the oracle technique cannot reach 100%, and there will be countless inflection points of fate in the middle, Estah, who is gifted with oracle magic, has made a prediction that can be infinitely close to this extreme value with the bonus of the Eye of Light pendant. In a sense, Ishtar's predictions are even more reliable than those of his predecessor, Pope Gyllenhaal.

Now the doppelganger actually said that he could seize the turning point of fate in the extremely slim situation and make Ishta's prophecy deviate, which can be described as a miracle.

"Isn't that weird? Don't forget that I have a small stretch of the trunk of the Tree of Life in my body. The clone admired Swell's surprised expression with satisfaction, and smiled and revealed the mystery: "The tree of life that once gave birth to the entire Ariat continent has supreme power, our understanding of her is extremely superficial, in fact, as long as we can guide her a little, we can use her to do many things that we didn't dare to think of before, even if I only have a small piece of it, I can achieve the same effect." Interfering with the prophetic results of the oracle is only a very superficial application. ”

"It turns out that the trunk of the Tree of Life still has such a wonderful use!" said Swell, not without envy, "How did you do it?"

"It's very simple, just let Olufei have a little accident. The corners of the doppelganger's mouth hooked evilly, using the opportunity of the Battle of Frosacken to bring Olufi to the fall, which can be said to be his most proud hand besides that plan.

"You killed Olufei?" Swell was taken aback, he didn't expect the doppelganger to be so bold!

"Of course not, how can you speculate about yourself so maliciously?" the doppelganger pretended to show a hurt expression: "Didn't the Lord say, 'We should not kill each other. 'How can Olufei be considered our own member of the Holy See, how can I wave a butcher's knife at my comrades?'

As soon as Swell heard his tone, he knew that there was a lot of moisture in his words, and said with a distrustful face: "Don't put gold on your face, I guess you used a borrowed knife to kill people, right?"
