In the halls of the castle, guardian angels and seductive demons are quietly hidden.

Shelley was sitting on the couch reading a book, and Richie was beside her, holding his cheeks.

Shelley touched his head and whispered, "Your father is a man who upholds the oath and doctrine of knighthood. ”

"But he's a lich. Richie reminded with a grimace.

"Well, it's a lich. A lich who upholds the oath and teachings of knighthood. So, you also have to be a person who adheres to chivalry and teachings. ”

"But I'm not human. ”

"Why do you have to worry about whether you're human or not?"

"Because ......," replied Richie, holding his cheeks, and whispering, "humans do not welcome us, only strength is our reliance." Mom, I really don't think Dad needs to talk to the Holy See about anything. We are lichs, so why should we get involved in human affairs?"

Shelley stroked Richie's little head helplessly.

"Well, one day you'll understand Daddy's thoughts. ”

......

Gray rode his horse, and as soon as he raised his hand, the entire watchtower flew into the sky. It's like a pile of bricks, slowly dismantling in the sky. The soldiers who had been standing on the watchtower were also levitating, screaming desperately.

The Templars on the ground were so frightened that they quickly removed the original flag of the Knights, took off their white pants and tied them to the flagpole, and then raised them as white flags.

At Gray's shout, the Knights of the Silver Moon passed through the outermost line of the Holy See's defenses and approached Mount Azrant.

......

Under the silver moonlight, Irene stood quietly on the balcony and looked at the white city.

"What is Miss Irene thinking?" asked Abby Robles.

"I'm wondering how Gray is doing in the Holy See now. The Pope has died, and he should now be at odds with the entire Holy See. Irene replied softly.

"Probably not, right?" Abby Robles smiled and said, "At least...... The Bishops of the South are all in favor of the Paladin. ”

"Not necessarily. Irene lowered her head and handed the two pieces of letter to Abby Robles.

Looking at the letter, Abby Robles's face changed visibly.

......

The Knights of the Silver Moon took advantage of the night to rush towards Mount Azrant, with Gray as the center, fanning out in all directions.

"Who are you!" someone shouted.

In the blink of an eye, there was already a dwarf with an axe to his neck.

"The Knights of the Silver Moon have taken over Mount Azrant on the orders of the Paladins!

The Silver Moon Knight galloped past with a slogan.

Almost without bloodshed, the Templars patrolling along the route were quickly subdued. The rest fled one by one.

Gray rode his horse and walked along the empty avenue, Carl holding the Silver Moon banner high behind him. Jones, Dora, and Andrew also followed closely on horseback.

......

"Oh no!" a Templar shouted as he rushed into Levi's mansion and knelt on one knee in front of him.

"What's the big deal? Do you want the whole of Mount Azrant to hear you? The Pope has just been buried. Levi stood up with a displeased expression.

"Oh no......" the Templar said in a panic, "Paladin Gray has come up with the Knights of the Silver Moon!"

Levi's face turned white, and the glass of wine in his hand fell to the ground.

......

Gray continued to ride his horse on a swaying horse, little by little, along the avenue lined with braziers. Some of the braziers had been knocked over, the oil was spilled on the ground and burning, and the whole street looked deserted and messy.

Jones, Dora, and Andrew also rode away, leaving Carl with the flag behind Gray.

The dim firelight and moonlight shone on the gray armor all around, as if all of them had been sucked in.

......

The main hall at the top of the hill was empty.

The coffin of Augsg III was gone, and the silver moonlight fell from the sky, shining on the faces of the nineteen gods. And, of course, there is the cross with ornate inscriptions in the center.

......

"Gray, we've found fifteen cardinals. Four of them tried to break through, but we stopped them. "It was ringing in Gray's head, Vivien's voice.

In the silence of the night, the Knights of the Silver Moon communicated with each other through Gray.

"This way! There is a ban on us from entering the Great Hall of Bigfest! There are two cardinals inside!"

"Okay, I'll let the dwarves pass!"

"There's a cardinal on Hallolin Avenue running north in a carriage!

"Okay!"

"I caught a cardinal dressed as a clergyman! You all have to pay attention! Whoever it is, be sure to search carefully!"

"Understood!"

"Cupis Garden! There are a dozen Templars here who look like they want to fight us!

"Grabbed another one!"

All the information converged in Gray's mind, and Gray just listened quietly, riding his horse, little by little, without saying a word.

The originally silent Azrant Mountain quickly became noisy as if it had been overturned.

There weren't many Templars on the mountain, but they were scattered, and most of them were on the periphery. Moreover, who would have thought that someone would be bold enough to directly attack the base camp of the Holy See?

......

Anthony III and the three cardinals who supported Gray stood on their balcony, looking out from afar, and shook their heads helplessly: "He still did it after all, something to be expected." ”

"That's a good thing, isn't it? He's obviously not someone to be caught with his hands tied. If he does not do so, then the Holy See will inevitably split when the new pope takes office. That's the last thing the Pope wants. ”

A knight of the Silver Moon rode to Anthony III's balcony and saluted Anthony III and the other three bishops on the balcony.

"Four Bishops, please stay here for a while, and don't go out. We'll get things in order soon!"

"Okay, you've done a great job. Anthony III smiled and beckoned to the Silver Moon Knight, turned his face sideways, but sighed again, and muttered to himself: "I think that the Pope is favoring Gray by protecting Gray." Actually, I think the Pope is protecting us people. Are we righteous? Of course, but it's justice immersed in the world. This paladin, he is a true fanatic, and he really knows how to draw a sword. If he plays trickery, he won't be able to play us old guys. But if the sword is drawn...... We're all just a piece of his flesh. His justice is serious. ”

As he spoke, Anthony III looked at the back of the departing Silver Moon Knight, but smiled: "I never knew that the character of the lich was actually like this. So seriously...... Humans can take anything as a joke, but the Lich is serious. ”

......

Gray rode his horse up the stone steps to the top of the mountain.

"Gray, what do you want to do!"

Four paladins and a large number of Templars stopped in front of Gray.

Levi drew his sword and rode out, staring at Gray. The corners of his eyes twitched. He kept looking around.

The clouds in the sky fluttered gently, and the silver moon passed through.

It was silent, except for the distant commotion.

Julian hovered behind him, but he didn't show his figure.

"Holy Spirit...... Does the Holy Spirit not speak? Does the Holy Spirit tolerate Gray's use of force to control the Holy See?"

"I haven't received a new order yet. In fact, I've stressed to you time and again that when Gray uses force, the Holy Spirit doesn't necessarily intervene. ”

"Are you kidding? will the Holy Spirit tolerate a lich controlling the Holy See?" said Levi.

The soldiers present were stunned for a moment.

"Lich, what is Lord Levi talking about? Paladin Gray is a lich?"

Before they could recover their senses, Gray had already raised his hand, and suddenly, the sword in Levi's hand was shot down. Even the men and horses fell back heavily. The stone steps behind him were shattered, and the sand and dust rolled.

The horse struggled to his feet and fled. Levi was crushed to the ground by a force, and his face was covered in blood.

The remaining three paladins watched in horror.

Gray rode forward step by step.

The three paladins who were still riding their horses tried to retreat, but found that they, and even their horses, were restrained by some force, and could not move at all. Instead, the Templars they had brought with them all retreated, leaving only the three of them facing Gray.

As they staggered past them, Tenedas stopped, and Gray whispered, "Lay down your weapons, and I'll assume that you've surrendered." Otherwise......"

Gray didn't say anything more, but the other three paladins had honestly discarded their weapons.

"Good. Gray nodded, "Follow me." ”

With that, he continued to ride forward.

"You're a lich! an evil lich! how dare you challenge the Holy Spirit! you're ......"

Levi couldn't continue. Because Gray had dismounted, and grabbed him by the neck. Levi struggled desperately, however, this struggle clearly had no effect on Gray.

Dragging Levi, who was covered in blood, Gray walked on foot, step by step towards the main hall on the top of the mountain. Behind him, the other three paladins and a group of sub-Templars followed honestly.

......

"Wha! See what I found here?"

"Stop! Stop——! it's against the doctrine of you!"

The dwarven incisors opened a large box and dragged out a cardinal.

......

"Help!

An orange flare flew into the night sky with smoke in tow.

In the distance, in the barracks of the Imperial Army of Gustav in San Lorenza, the soldiers were standing in front of the campfire frowning.

"What are you doing?

"It's like a cry for help. ”

"The Holy See for help? Are you kidding? Who will attack the Holy See? They can ask the Holy Spirit for help. ”

"That's right. Maybe I'm mistaken, I'll ask tomorrow. It's already so late. ”

......

Cardinal Darren IV, who had just returned from Gray's side, stood in front of his house, watching in amazement as the commotion quickly spread throughout Mount Azrant.

One Templar after another was knocked down by the Silvermoon Knights and trampled under the horse's hooves.

Jones rode up to him and saluted, saying, "Your Excellency, please come with me." Paladin-sama wants to meet you. ”

"What does he want to do?"

"I heard you made a suggestion to him, maybe...... He's trying to tell you the answer. Jones said with a smile.

......

The cardinals, including the four who have been newly appointed in the past two years, minus the two who have died, are still thirty-four.

Soon, in addition to the four who supported Gray, the others began to be escorted by the Knights of the Silver Moon to the main hall at the top of the hill from all directions, or more accurately, to the main hall at the top of the mountain, and pressed to their respective seats.

One of them was still wearing a dressing gown, and one even changed into women's clothes in order to escape. One by one, all of them were embarrassed.

The Knights of the Silver Moon quickly sealed the entire hall tightly, not allowing anyone to approach.

Ordinary clergy stood on the periphery, staring at it. Of course, there was also the Knights Templar, which was supposed to be the defense force of the Holy See, and they could only watch with a dare.

A building is on fire, the fire is spreading, and a group of clergy are struggling to put it out. The Knights of the Silver Moon, who were not far away from them, stood motionless at their posts as if they hadn't seen them.

......

Gray grabbed Levi by the neck and dragged him on. Levi had given up the struggle completely, and could only look feebly at the clouds drifting in the sky, letting Gray drag him. The blood spilling from the wound left a long blood stain on the steps.

......

Finally, Gray's figure appeared outside the door.

The wind was blowing gently.

The silver-white moon was behind him, shining on the gray armor.

The surroundings were quiet, everyone held their breath, and there was a depressing, eerie atmosphere.

One by one, the cardinals craned their necks and looked at him cautiously.

Under everyone's gaze, he dragged Levi into the main hall and walked down the middle aisle until he stopped in front of the cross.

Releasing Levy's neck, Gray got down on one knee and reverently drew a cross with his hand on his chest. But he didn't pray as usual, just a short word.

"The Holy Spirit, my Lord, you have taught me. Power can decide everything. ”

Silvery moonlight shone through the dome, silently illuminating the faces of the nineteen gods. A pair of eyes without pupils seemed to be watching him at this moment.

With his sword in hand, Gray slowly stood up, turned around, and looked at the cardinals who were sitting in chairs throughout the hall.

Karl walked in, slammed his breastplate, knelt down on one knee in front of Gray and said, "The four paladins have all arrived, and the thirty-four cardinals have reached thirty-two. Two more have not been found, but are looking for them, suspecting that they have absconded. However, according to the rules of the Holy See, in the event of the death of the Pope, this proportion is enough to pass any resolution!"

"Okay, I got it. Gray waved his hand slightly.

Karl stood up with a bow, stepping back and forth until he exited the main hall.

Quietly, everything was quiet, and the thirty-two cardinals present were all silent.

As the clock ticked by, Gray looked around at the group of cardinals present.

After a while, Levi, who was lying on the ground, coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly gasped. Looking at Gray feebly.

"Why...... Why doesn't the Holy Spirit stop you?" said Levi in fits and starts.

Gray did not answer his question, but looked at the group of cardinals and said in a loud voice: "I, Paladin Gray, a saint personally canonized by the former Pope Augsg III, have the authority to supervise the Holy See. Now, I feel that the Holy See has seriously deviated from the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, from the expectations of the Holy Spirit. So, let's talk about it. ”
