"If your concern is that the Holy Church threatens the rule of the royal family, then I can guarantee it in the name of the Pope. The Holy Church withdrew from the Holy Radiance City and disbanded the Protectors, and the future missions would also be under the administration of the kingdom, and would never threaten the rule of the royal power. The Pope sighed. He could predict what kind of waves his promise would cause in the Holy Sect, and when the time came, his reputation in the Holy Sect would definitely plummet, and his current prestige would no longer exist.

However, such a huge concession from him was only exchanged for the Great Emperor slowly shaking his head and refusing, "No!", he replied succinctly.

The Pope frowned, "Why be so resolute? You must know that the Holy Sect still retains a strong force, do you think that the City Guards will be able to defeat the Protectors? Not to mention that the Holy Sect has many believers throughout the country, and if all of them are mobilized, they must not be underestimated. ”

"Besides, there are still many elements of instability within the kingdom, not to mention that if there is a full-scale war, are you sure that you can suppress the other three great lords? As far as I know, there are still rebellions in the south, and the situation is unstable, if there is a problem within the kingdom, won't the Medici family resurrect?"

"Now the kingdom of St. Teresa has strong enemies outside the country, and there are troubles inside, and if there is anything wrong, it will be a global collapse and out of control. ”

"Why do you want to destroy them all, do you really want to shatter the kingdom of Saint-Teresa to pieces?"

"Are you old enough to clean up this mess?"

"Grievous, you have always been a sane person, and you should not be so unwise. ", said the Pope bitterly.

"You're still as eloquent as you used to, Gregory. The Emperor rose from his seat and walked across from the Pope, "Do you know when I made up my mind to eradicate the Holy Cult?", there was no warmth in his eyes.

The Pope shook his head, "I am also puzzled, when you were a child, you obviously liked His Majesty the previous Pope, and you also studied the Holy Scriptures with me, and you were not even inferior to me in theological studies. ”

The Emperor snorted lightly and pointed to the crown on his head, "Just when I was crowned king." ”

There was a hint of confusion on the Pope's face, he never expected this to be the answer.

"Of course you don't know! How do you know!", the Emperor said with a little excitement as he paced, "How much have I paid for this throne!

"By sacrifice, you killed your father, your brother, and your fiancée?" said the Pope sarcastically.

"Yes, yes, if there were historians who wrote history, I would not be able to escape such infamy in the future. ”

"But so what!", the Emperor said abruptly, and said coldly.

"If I don't do this, then will I still have a way to live? Will so many people in the whole palace still have a way to live? Those nobles who support me, those rich merchants who have put all their wealth on me, can I say to them: I have admitted defeat and am ready to be captured?"

"I can only move forward, not backward!"

"And yet, after I had paid such a great price, I was told that the Pope was going to put that crown on my head, do you know how I felt at that time?", the Emperor roared with a wave of his sleeves.

"I longed to take the crown from you and put it on myself. But I could only endure it silently, and I could only endure this great shame. ”

"It was at that moment that I swore in my heart that I must completely destroy the Holy Sect and eradicate the grass and eradicate it!" the Emperor stared at the Pope and said coldly.

The Pope stared at the Emperor silently and sighed, "You have never been willing to suffer since you were a child, and you must have hated me in your heart, from the moment you were forced to apologize to me by the previous king." ”

"So, you sneaked into the palace secretly just to talk to me?", the Emperor did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

The Pope took a deep breath and held up the scepter that had been in his hand.

This scepter represents the supreme power of the Pope in the Church, and it is also a powerful staff that has no other in the world.

"I remember that your magic scores were always inferior to mine. ", said the Pope.

The Emperor shook his head, "You can't win against me in this palace. ”

It was night, and there was thunder in the palace of Shenghui City, wind and rain, and fire in the sky, and heavy snow. By the end of the night, most of the palace had been destroyed, with many dead and wounded, and only a few survived.

And the contemporary pope of the Holy Church, Gregory, has never been seen again.

In Shenghui City, there is a king and an emperor, the emperor has gone, and the king is alone.

Those two "Majesties", one inside the city and the other outside the city, they are almost the representatives of Shenghui City. In the hearts of the people of Shenghui City, these two seem to be like the walls of this Shenghui City, indestructible, and it seems that they will never change.

It's like the sky, which has been covering the city.

Suddenly, however, half of the sky fell.

Just as there is no impenetrable wall in the world, this Holy Radiance City certainly cannot last forever. In the same way, there is no one in this world who can live forever.

Even if he is called "Your Majesty", even if he once ruled the fate of the world.

However, man is a man, not a god, and even that god has been proven to be false.

Is there anything else in this world that can last forever and not deteriorate?

......

The lights in the court were still dim, Gavin loosened his neckline, and complained: "Old man, if you have anything, tell me quickly, I don't have time to accompany you here." ”

"Why, is the military affairs of the cathar army so busy?", the question was naturally the master of the inquisition, the chief referee.

"Well, since His Majesty the Pope has been missing, the whole Sanctuary has been in a state of panic, and everyone is rumoring that it was those archbishops who had bad intentions and assassinated His Majesty the Pope. Gavin said.

"Hmph, it's nonsense, and the people who spread the rumors are all ill-intentioned. ", the referee snorted coldly.

"Don't say this to me, I can't control it anyway. Gavin spread his hands.

"I'm so busy with the various fortifications of the Sanctuary right now that I'm so busy that I don't have time to care what others think. ”

The chief referee pondered for a moment, until Gavin was really impatient and almost couldn't hold back, and suddenly asked, "Gavin, do you have a good control over the cathars?"

Gavin was stunned for a moment, thinking that the chief referee was worried about the instability of the army, so he patted his chest and promised: "You can rest assured that most of the soldiers in the cathar army have fought with me, and they are lifelong friendships, and they are very convinced of me." ”

"If I were to the east, they would not strike the west. ”

"What if you tell them to abandon the Sanctuary and retreat without a fight?" the chief inquisition asked.
