Chapter Seventy-Three: Each Has His Own Plans
"Is it really going to do such a thing?" Pope Elwood, the trusting Pope of the Church, couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other solution?"
This was the first time he didn't know how many times he had said it today.
And the previous Pope Vannal V was fishing by the pond, and said lightly, "I have already told you the method, but how to choose is your own business, this position is not so easy to sit on." β
Elwood smiled bitterly, "Of course I know that this position is not easy to sit on, isn't there really no way to let me be on top, so I came to you on the first day of my tenure, you can do it, and then show me the way, when this storm passes, isn't this position still yours?"
"I'm not going to be a pope anymore. Vanal V shook his head and said, "The temple does not need a tainted pope, this will affect the credibility of the gods in the world, remember one thing, God is a gift, we are the servants of the gods in the world, so all the decisions we make must start from this basis." β
Elwood nodded like a chicken pecking rice, not reserved as a pope, but like a student, "You're right, you know me, I'm different from Wenger, I'm not like Wenger, I'll do a good job in the future, but now it's imperative to get through this difficult time, you see, ......" Elwood rubbed his hands.
Vannar V put down the fishing rod, "It seems that you still don't realize the seriousness of this matter, four years ago we made a pact with the gods, as long as we don't make a move, then this divine punishment will only be limited to the north and will not expand, but the Magicians Association has broken its promise, and a team of magicians sneaked back to the White Crow City that night and rescued seven survivors, they thought that no one knew, but people, it is impossible to deceive the gods." β
Elwood wiped his sweat, "But have you found out, it was only the personal actions of a few magicians, and they only rescued seven insignificant people. β
"A promise is a promise, and it's a promise with the gods. Vanal V said coldly, "You are also the one who sits in that position, are you still as naΓ―ve as everyone else, you must know that there is not only divine grace in this world, but also divine power, offending divine power is not something that can be exposed with a simple word, only by killing those who violate the agreement can it be possible to calm the anger of the gods." β
"I understand the reason, but the attitude of the Magicians Association is also very tough, Da Vinci was originally very easy to speak, and everyone cooperated very well a few times before, although he came out of the basket later, but he is also reasonable, who knows why he will not give an inch this time?"
"Don't pin your hopes on others anymore, Leonardo da Vinci is the president of the Wizards Association, and he will definitely consider the interests of the Wizards Association first, involving a branch president, if he really hands over people to us this time, it will be a devastating blow to the unity and stability of the Wizards Association. β
It took Elwood a long time to hold back such a sentence, "But ...... But we can't let the North repeat itself. β
Vanal V glanced at the former meaningfully, it seemed that this Elwood did not care about that position at all, as he said, and the reason why he never agreed to this plan was that he was afraid that this matter would eventually turn into another northern incident, and finally let him go from power, and end up with himself.
Vannar V didn't break the other party's careful thoughts, but patiently explained, "This time is different from the time in the north, less than thirty monsters, as long as the route is deviant enough and the action is fast enough, it can ensure secrecy, and there are very few people affected on the way, only two small villages, and then others will think that those people have encountered a disaster." β
"You have a point, or I'll think about it again. β
"There's no time left for you to think about it again, the final trial is on the third of next month, once the trial is over, no matter what her crime is, the Magicians Association is very likely to put her under house arrest protection, and then it will be even more difficult to do it, and it is possible to completely turn the face with the Magicians Association, so now is the best opportunity, that female magician named Dinah, there is an aunt who lives in the southwest of the Lionheart Empire, that is her last relative, and she will definitely go to see her aunt before the final judgment begins. β
Elwood only felt his throat dry and swallowed.
Vannar V sneered, "Actually, you don't have to be so entangled, whether you agree or not, those monsters are already on the way now, so you only have two choices, either when you don't know anything and let this happen, or if you don't want to repeat my mistakes, you can also try to poke things out, so that your reputation will naturally skyrocket, but then you have to think about how to explain to the gods." β
Ellwood left Vannell V's small garden looking a little listless.
The escort team responsible for his safety outside greeted him, and the captain's expression was a little worried, and he stopped talking.
"What's wrong, Mirodic?"
"Your Majesty, you've been running this way lately, and Wenger has a lot of criticism on their side. β
Elwood snorted, "Those guys are so fierce all day long, and there is no solution to the problem, do they think I like to come here?" Speaking of this, Elwood couldn't help but be angry, and no longer had that gentle and frugal look inside, and said angrily, "That old fox of Vanal V is even more hateful, obviously he has stepped down, and he has turned into an oracle again, with the prestige he has accumulated in the church before, plus this identity, is the temple TMD under his control or mine?" What he decided was just a symbolic notice to me, the Pope, do you say this kind of thing?"
Mirodich comforted, "Wenger, aren't they already working to clean up the forces left behind by Vannar V, Saruman died mysteriously, Moteris fled to the elves, and there are not many people left." β
Elwood let out a long sigh, "It's so hard to think about something. He wanted to complain a few more words, but he seemed to think of something, but suddenly he shut up again, he got a lot of useful news from this meeting, to be honest, he didn't care about Dinah's life or death, what really surprised him was that Vannal V seemed to have the ability to mobilize those abyssal monsters, this ability was almost impossible to obtain except for the gods, which also made Elwood's heart more and more heavy, although Vannal V lost his position as pope, but the gods were thick, and the gods seemed to compensate for his loyalty in this way.
Elwood was suddenly a little worried, wondering if Wenger's gang was the opponent of this old fox, his new pope had too shallow foundation, and he was caught in the middle, and it was really not easy to do.
