Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 44 The Bishop's Conspiracy (II)

The archbishop, who was originally dignified and mild-mannered, showed a terrifying expression under the dim candlelight of the dungeon. For the first time, the deputy head of the Church Order, Lassad, saw the archbishop's expression like this, and he had no choice but to lower his head and listen to the archbishop's instructions.

Satnam cautiously asked, "If you do it so quickly... Won't there be enough time to prepare..."

The archbishop's eyes rolled and he looked down at Satnam, who was kneeling on the ground, "What do you mean, Captain?"

"The subordinates didn't dare, the subordinates just felt that the Pope might have other secrets that we didn't know, such as the man he captured last time, and he confessed to the matter of the Pope's Guard. Satnam was cautious, as if he had said something wrong.

Riley said on the side: "That man has already told the person who instructed him under my torture, it is a knight of the Church Order, I didn't expect such a scum to appear among us," the man he was talking about was the citizen who shouted "Papal Guard" when he was worshipping by the pool that night, "It's just that the church knight has committed suicide by poisoning, probably because he is afraid that he will be arrested!"

The archbishop nodded, if he wanted to replace the pope, he first had to cut off all the forces that supported the pope, whether it was his "arms" or "thighs", and he must not let the other party have a chance to fight back.

Although both Satnam and Rashad thought that the time was not ripe enough, after all, the Pope was strong and cautious, and it was difficult for him to cause any accident to cause him to die. Moreover, how many cronies the Pope has cultivated in the past few years, and how many internal responses there are in the Pope's Knights, these are all variables. Even Captain Satnam was not sure that 100 percent of the Knights of the Church would be on the side of the Archbishop—the Church Knight who committed suicide by poisoning himself was an example.

It seems that Fide did not guess wrong, there is indeed a contradiction between the pope and the archbishop, but what he did not expect is that the archbishop has already begun to eradicate the pope. And this can only be done in secret, after all, the Pope is the Father's spokesman on earth, and no one has the right to deprive him of his status—unless it is the Father, that is, the Divine Hands, as long as the death of the Pope is caused by accident. At the same time, all forces that owe allegiance to the Pope will be eliminated, and even if the archbishop is to blame for his poor protection, he will only need to apologize in two words.

The Pope of the Papal States was originally just an ordinary person, and when the previous Pope died, the baby born in the City of Light at the same time was the new Pope. This is the rule of the Illuminati, and they believe that at this time the Heavenly Father has recalled the previous spokesman to heaven and sent a new body down to earth to continue to preach the doctrine. Because of this, the bishop, who holds the power of the Church, will certainly not obey the orders of an ordinary person. Especially the archbishop, the archbishop who holds the real power is the one who controls the fate of the papal state - only this time it is different, the pope and the archbishop do not get along, but Archbishop Arthur Auerbach finds out that the pope is developing his own power and strengthening his own strength and does not intend to continue to be the puppet of the archbishop.

Because of this situation, the archbishop and the pope have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. The archbishop wanted to change to an obedient pope, and the pope wanted to take power back into his own hands, but the pope's strength was too weak, and many of his supporters were killed. This time, in the name of exterminating the infidels of the East Oguna Empire, the Pope sent people to organize the Papal Guard, in fact, to resist the actions of Archbishop Arthur Auerbach.

In fact, the archbishop has always been in control of the situation, and it was only eight years ago that an incident occurred that began to change the opinion of the pope in the Papal States. At that time, the Pope was just a puppet, and Arthur Auerbach was very comfortable with him. But on the day of the death of the Pope's biological father, when all the civilians of the Papal States came to the square to attend the funeral, the Pope was suddenly enveloped in a blue holy light, and at this time there was an assassin who shot a crossbow arrow at the Pope!

Since that miraculous "Holy Light Incident", all people who believe in the Illuminati have worshipped the Pope as a god and regarded him as a human god connected to the Father! This greatly reduced the supporters of Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, and many church knights were in awe of the Pope's incredible "Holy Light", and many church knights formed the Knights of the Guard, but they were later stopped by Satnam.

"Do you remember that incident? You've been investigating for eight years, but you haven't found anything, that's his real secret. The archbishop turned to Satnam.

Satnam, the head of the Knights of the Church, hurriedly said: "The assassin was not caught, and we once sent people to search the Pope's belongings, and found nothing abnormal," Satnam witnessed that incident with his own eyes, and to this day, he is worried that if the archbishop is unfavorable to the Pope, the blue light that envelops the whole body may become the biggest variable, "The Pope has never mentioned this matter, and his subordinates are incompetent, and he has never found the reason." Although Satnam claimed to the archbishop that he had been secretly monitoring the pope, he did not gain anything at all. And the archbishop was suspicious of him because the head of the regiment had not gained anything, but the people he sent to spy on Satnam did not gain anything.

"That incident is certainly not a coincidence, the assassin may have acted in a play with the Pope, and perhaps some magic was used. ”

"That's right, that's right, wasn't the Holy Lady of the Theoguna Empire recently executed and beheaded, and then appeared elsewhere the next day?" Riley echoed, "It's probably that kind of legendary magic, but the Pope is the archbishop, how can you know what magic is..."

The archbishop didn't really take that incident seriously, he wasn't there that day, so he thought that the Holy Light was just a rumor of the common people. Moreover, the eyeliner he arranged in the Papal States would report to him every day about the big and small affairs of the Holy Light City, and neither the Pope nor the civilians found anything strange and strange. In addition to going out to participate in prayer services with citizens or worship the Father, the Pope is basically monitored by the archbishop and the people sent by Satnam, and he is basically a bird in a cage - but even the bird in this cage can make a civilian call out the "Papal Guard" for him, which is definitely problematic.

Archbishop Arthur Auerbach and the four members of the Knights of the Church had discussed other matters, and then let the others go away and wander alone in the dungeon.

As we passed through a place that was completely dark, a voice came out of the darkness, "I didn't expect them to send Marven, can we still plan properly?"

"Of course, no problem, no matter what the Duke's daughter Christine, or the royal knight mercenary group, they will not stop our plan. ”

"That's the best, you have to know that you can't go wrong with swallowing two apples in one bite. ”

"By the way, do you know anything about the blue light? you should be better than me..."

"It's okay, it's just a small thing. ”
