Chapter 845: The Pope's Wrath

However, in one morning, various rumors spread within the kingdom of Hori.

"That...... Did you see that notice on the street? I've heard that there were a lot of similar notices posted in the town next door, and it's being talked about everywhere now. ”

"It's horrible......

"Is it true that His Majesty has been placed under house arrest by the Church? No wonder His Majesty has not shown up for so many days...... I don't understand why the church doesn't want to serve God properly and do such a thing."

"It's all fake! What a mess! All mages should go to hell!"

Although no one dared to discuss these things in public, the sound of discussion never stopped when the door was closed and hid in some small place. Regardless of whether they agreed or disagreed, the people of the Kingdom of Horry showed great enthusiasm for this matter, as if the world that used to live in black and white suddenly suddenly burst into color.

- The church has always advocated abstinence, although it is difficult to implement these things to the bottom, but living in this country, the atmosphere is still relatively depressing.

And the outbreak in the depression and calm, coupled with the guidance of people with hearts, the "poster" incident has completely become a big news in the Kingdom of Hori. The influence is so great that even those cities that have not been posted on the poster have been affected, and for a few hours, there have even been copies of posters and comics that have been circulated in private.

After all, they first heard that the king had been kidnapped, and then that the king had actually been rescued, and that it was the Church that had placed the king under house arrest — a news reversal that was all too fascinating in an age when entertainment was scarce.

And the reaction on the church's side made them even more curious.

Unlike usual, this time, they were very slow to react. It was only around 10 a.m. that local governments began to clean up the posters. When the order was issued from the royal capital, I didn't know what was going on in the middle, it came very slowly, and there were even cases where some officials disappeared for no reason.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the same day that the church issued a statement:

"His Majesty the King has been controlled by mages using sorcery and has lost the ability to make rational judgments. Now those mages are beginning to take advantage of His Majesty, to confuse people's minds, and to try to spread the devil's words. Calm the faith, hold fast to the faith, and do not believe their nonsense, for God will always bless the godly people. ”

When this announcement was released, there were still many people who supported it, but the wave of the "poster" incident did not subside. People can't help but ask who has the power to put posters all over the kingdom overnight, and what about those missing government officials.

Unfortunately, the church itself was so confused that it couldn't give them the answers they wanted.

“...... What the hell are your guys doing?"

In St. Peter's Basilica, Grant was silent for a long time with a straight face, then threw the poster in his hand on the ground and asked coldly to everyone in the hall.

Bishops, priests, paladins...... Everyone lowered their heads, motionless, and did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere. The whole hall was as quiet as a graveyard.

"Can anyone explain it to me?" Grant's tone became colder when he saw this, "Benjamin may have fled back to the Academy of Magic with the king...... That's what you're finding? They fled back to the academy, and who posted all this nonsense!"

Below, some priests couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, but still no one answered, and no one even dared to look up into Grant's eyes once.

Fear spread through the halls.

“...... Bishop Harold, you explain. After another silence for I don't know how long, Grant finally spoke, and directly began to call people.

It was a relatively young bishop who was called, and suddenly, his legs trembled slightly. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, plucked up his courage, and looked up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter ......"

Yikes!

With a soft sound, the extreme filament of light flew out of Grant's hand and pierced directly through the bishop's arm. In the next second, in the stunned gaze of everyone, the bishop let out a miserable scream, and his entire right arm was wrapped in holy light, and it disappeared.

He suddenly fainted in pain, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Everyone was shocked.

"As the head of the kingdom's intelligence, you have not heard anything about such a big thing, this is God's punishment for you. Grant looked at him coldly and said in a mechanical tone.

Obviously, the bishop couldn't hear Grant's words clearly at the moment, but the other people around him couldn't help but shiver when they heard it.

Some people have even secretly started praying in their hearts.

In the midst of this oppressive and terrifying atmosphere, in the end, one of the oldest bishops raised his head and said in an old voice: "Your Majesty, if you make a mistake, you should be punished." I was robbed of the king by that demon in the first place, but I didn't plan it well, please ...... Please rebuke me in God's place. ”

Suddenly, Grant's cold gaze moved to him.

"Bishop Grove, you are nearly ninety years old, you have served the gods for many years, and you have always been religious. In the face of this most patriarchal bishop, his tone seemed to finally soften a little, "After three consecutive popes, you are still here, and you have made countless contributions......

When the old bishop heard this, his heart finally relaxed a little.

In this case, he was indeed the only one who could come out of the round, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to ease a little, and the others around him quietly cast grateful glances at him.

So, he lowered his head and continued: "Your Majesty has won the award, and no matter how much credit you have, it will be difficult to offset the mistakes I have made, and I ask His Majesty the Pope to punish me." ”

Yikes!

There was another soft sound, only this time, the extreme filament of light passed directly through the old bishop's heart. The old bishop's eyes widened suddenly, and with a look of disbelief, he fell down with a pop.

“......”

Everyone was stunned and froze in place.

Grant spoke, his voice sounding violent and cold: "Who allowed you to speak......?" You have done a lot of credit and deserve praise, but you decided to ambush Benjamin Reeser without your own initiative, which directly led to the loss of the king. If you have committed such a grave sin, you should go and ask God for your sin!"

Until he finished saying this, everyone present did not recover from that sense of stunnedness. They stared blankly at the old bishop's corpse, unable to believe what had happened.

Pope...... Killed Bishop Grove?

- Bishop Grove, who is arguably the oldest bishop in the whole church, who has been a bishop for the longest time, who has won the trust of every pope, and who has a very high prestige?

O my God......

What happened in the Warcraft Mountain Range?

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" said a young priest, "for the great negligence that has been committed, we cannot justify it, but is it not imperative how to fix it?" Bishop Grove ...... He didn't sin to die! You shouldn't have done that!"

The hall fell silent again.

At that moment, the others around glanced at the young priest as if they were looking at a dead man.

“...... Who made you speak?" Grant narrowed his eyes and looked at the young priest indifferently, "Who are you? Why have I never met you?

The young priest was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "I, I'm Corwin, I was transferred from the church in Hendri Town to the royal capital just last month, and I am responsible for guiding the believers ......"

Airplanes!

Accompanied by the dazzling holy light, a low sound sounded, and everyone was so flashed that they subconsciously closed their eyes. And when they opened their eyes again, the place where the young priest had stood was empty.

It's as if he didn't even exist.

And Grant also walked off the stage, his face was ugly and terrible. Everyone was shaking with their heads down, but he didn't look at the people in the hall again, and left the place through the back door.
