"The Papal Sacrifice?"

Looking at Firina in front of him, Rod's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some doubts in his mouth,

"Your Highness, the current Pope is Dalbaatar of the Lother Cult, under the deliberate operation of His Majesty Auckland XIII, that is, your father, the Rother Cult should only be an empty shell, and Darbaatar is only hanging the name of a pope, what is the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony?"

"Pope Rhodes, as you know, the Cult of Rother was indeed suppressed by his father, and his strength and influence are declining, but etiquette cannot be abolished, the Cult of Rother is the state religion of our Auckland Empire, and Darbaatar is the person who personally crowned his father. ”

Filina's face did not fluctuate, and she said slowly,

"The purpose of the papal sacrificial basilica was to sacrifice to the gods and to the whole empire. ”

"I see. ”

Rod nodded, but his heart was clear.

Although Filina said it in a high-sounding manner, frankly speaking, although Auckland XIII suppressed the Lother Cult, he would not let the Rother Cult disappear, because in the world of gods in the Ode continent, the divine right of kings is almost everyone's consensus, and it is impossible for Oakland XIII to achieve complete dictatorship, and he needs the existence of the Rothar Cult.

He needed Darbaatar, the pope, and the god behind him, who did not know if there really existed, to justify his throne and strengthen his position.

"The Pope's Sacrifice Ceremony is held once a year, and the Pope in and near the Imperial Capital needs to participate, and the eldest brother and the imperial uncle will also attend. ”

Filina glanced at Rod, paused, and continued.

The Pope with whom they work will also be present. ”

"Your Highness, I understand what you mean. ”

Rod smiled, he naturally knew what Filina meant, didn't he just take a look in advance, try to test the other party's details, after thinking for a while, he continued,

"However, Your Highness, I already know in my heart the sects that His Royal Highness the Great Prince cooperates with, but about Duke Leto, my subordinates have not collected any useful information, I don't know ......"

After arriving in the imperial capital, he sent Edward and Aiolos to investigate in the imperial capital, and Arthurs had nothing to hide about who he was working with, and he was still vigorously promoting it, none other than the Moronian sect, a large sect from the western part of the empire.

However, for Duke Leto, the other party seems to be very hidden, in the imperial capital, in addition to collecting a bunch of news about Duke Leto's guards punishing evil and promoting good, there is not the slightest trace of the cooperative sect, which makes him can't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Regarding Uncle Huang, there is no clue about Lonely. ”

Hearing Rhodes mention Duke Leto, Filina's expression also changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice,

"In fact, after my father was seriously ill and fell into a coma, I had already sent people to lurk in the Imperial Uncle's Mansion, and even sent a lot of spies, but I couldn't get any useful information, and I have to admit that the Imperial Uncle did have a hand. ”

"Doesn't Your Highness know either?"

Rod was slightly stunned, this time he was indeed a little surprised.

When it comes to the throne, there is no need for Duke Leto to hide his cooperation so deeply, after all, everyone knows that the three of them are competing for the throne, and the greater the prestige of the sect, the greater the help for him.

Now that Leto is deliberately concealing the cooperative sect, there must be some unknown plan, is it possible......

"Your Highness, have there been any traces of other imperial sects in the imperial capital?"

Rod seemed to remember something, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked at Philina.

"Pope Rhodes, I know what you are thinking, and I have also guessed this possibility, but according to the close investigation of his subordinates, there are some sects from other empires, but the procedures are all normal, and there is no connection with the imperial uncle. ”

Filina shook her head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then said,

"Uncle Huang is a member of the Auckland royal family, and he will not betray the royal family or even the empire. ”

"I know it below. ”

Hearing this, Rod bowed slightly, and the doubts in his heart were even stronger.

Originally, he guessed that Leto should have contacted other imperial sects or even royal families in order to better seize the throne, which was not uncommon, and he experienced it once in Demacia, but that incident ended in failure.

However, at this time, according to Philina, this situation of Duke Leto should not exist.

So, what is the reason why Leto hides the cooperative sect, and who will he work with?

"If you want to compete for the throne, then the strength of the sect that cooperates with it will not be low, and the prestige will not be low, then ......"

Rod frowned, chewing in his mouth, thinking about who Leto was working with.

Suddenly, his body trembled slightly, his eyes closed tightly, and after a moment he slowly opened them again.

"Pope Rhodes, what's wrong?"

Seeing the change in Rod's expression, Filina asked with some doubts in her heart.

"It's nothing, there was a flash of inspiration, it seems to be a clue about the matter of Duke Leto's cooperative sect, but I can't remember it for a while when I think about it again. ”

Rod shook his head and said helplessly.

"Pope Rhodes, in fact, you don't need to worry too much, as long as you are strong enough, we don't need to be afraid of our opponents. ”

Filina smiled, and then said slowly,

"There are only a few top sects in the empire, and the strength of the Moroni Sect is all in between, since you can kill a warrior like Kalomi with a single sword, you must not be inferior to them in the slightest. ”

As she spoke, Philina's eyes kept on Rhodes, trying to find something on his face.

"Your Highness said it well, I am persistent. ”

Rod was slightly stunned, silent for a moment, and then smiled.

Indeed, with absolute strength, what is there to be afraid of, no matter the opponent, just blow it up.

"Pope Rhodes, we are already in the midst of a whirlpool. ”

At this time, Filina's eyes changed, the momentum on her body also changed, and her mouth said coldly,

"No matter how the eldest brother and the imperial uncle are, I have taken the throne of the empire!"

"In Xia and Taoism, I am willing to help His Highness ascend the throne as the emperor!"

Looking at Firina deeply, Rhodes is the right color path.

"Hmm. ”

Filina bowed slightly, looked at Rod, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and then it was also a positive color.

"The Pope is also for Pope Rhodes!"

............................................................................................................

Time flies quickly, and the day of the Pope's sacrifice ceremony of the Rother God Cult, the state religion of the Oakland Empire, is here!
