"Queen Mother, what do you mean by that?" Bishop Carloslo continued to swallow his displeasure.

Arouse suspicion? Isn't it possible for me to exercise the right of recall as a bishop?

"Isn't it doubtful that the scepter has been circulating for so many years without a problem, but now it has been lost inexplicably?" Gwen channeled them in the other direction.

"Do you want to say that someone within us did this on purpose?" Bishop Carlos did not think so, stealing the scepter was a capital offense, and as a believer in the gods of nature, no one would defile the holy relics of the Holy See.

"Whether that's the case or not still needs your investigation. But if it is deliberately set up by outsiders to create contradictions within the Holy See, this is the greatest shame, isn't it? Gwen leads them to put the blame on the unknown black hand.

In this world, rumors are the most terrifying. A word of doubt can cost innocent people their lives, or it can exonerate real sinners.

As long as everyone's attention is focused on the enemy, the archbishop's guilt will be reduced, or even acquitted.

"There is indeed this possibility, our Grand Sect is already powerful, the last dragon attack damaged us, this time the loss of the scepter is even worse, maybe someone is really secretly playing ghosts. Some people began to echo the Queen Mother's words, guessing all kinds of possibilities.

The status of the Three Divine Pillars Grand Sect on the mainland is very high, and it is inevitable that some people will be jealous, and it is not impossible to do something that will damage the face of the Holy Court.

"It is possible, but it is still a felony for the archbishop to lose his scepter, and I propose to remove him. "Bishop Carloslo's attitude is very resolute, no matter who does it, if you lose it, you lose it.

As for who is behind this, someone will find out in the future.

"I don't agree, it may not be good for our actions to keep this matter down until the scepter is found, and to spread it. Some bishops objected to his proposal, so it was safe to leave it as it was for the time being, and to search in secret.

The two sides are at a stalemate, and they can't convince anyone.

"Lord Colin is here. The priest walked in and announced.

Gwen was finally relieved that as soon as he came, the matter might turn around.

"Lord Colin, why are you here, it can't be for the archbishop's business, right?" Bishop Carloslo felt that things were a little strange, and the Queen Mother could understand that a Minister of the Interior had the right to interfere, and the Holy See was not a place where anyone could set foot in it.

"Sort of. Colin confessed that he had come for the Archbishop.

"What do you mean?" Bishop Carlo was going to ask him out, and no one else was allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Holy See.

"The scepter has been found. "Colin brought good news this time around, and it was enough to turn things around.

"What?" everyone except Gwen was surprised, including the archbishop, who didn't expect to find it.

"How did you know about this when it happened, and how did you find it?" Bishop Carlo was a little suspicious, everyone only found out about the loss of the scepter today, when did he, an outsider, find out?

The crowd looked at him suspiciously.

"The archbishop came to me a few days ago for help, and I have been secretly investigating for the past few days, but fortunately I have found clues and succeeded in retrieving the scepter. "Colin wasn't telling the truth.

He had known that the scepter had been lost, but it was the Queen Mother who had told him. The covert investigation is also true, but the successful recovery is fake.

The people he sent out could hardly find any clues to the scepter, and in order to keep the position of the archbishop, he ordered someone to build a replica on the day he learned the news, and it was finally completed today.

"Where's the scepter?" said Bishop Carlo would not believe until he saw it in front of him.

"It's on the way, it's going to be there right away. Colin explained.

"Who did it?" "Since you found it, there must be a culprit."

"According to my spies, it was a gambler who stole the scepter, and he owed a gambling debt. On that day, taking advantage of the dragon's attack, he stole the scepter and hid it in his home, and it was only when the news had died down recently that he dared to take action, and to show his feet in order to sell it, and my men killed him and recovered the scepter. Colin's statement doesn't seem to be a problem.

"Oh, why don't you stay and interrogate us?" Bishop Carlo was suspicious, it was the things that were stolen from the Grand Curia, and it was up to the people of the Holy See to decide what to do.

"That's what I told me to do. He tried to resist, and cut my man with a dagger, and in his panic he accidentally executed him on the spot. If the bishop is going to punish him, let me bear it. Colin didn't mean anything else, he was willing to take responsibility for his men.

Colin made up the whole lie, and the gambler was the possible breakthrough, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the gambler certainly could not live.

He knew that the Holy See would send someone to investigate in the future, so he ordered someone to find a real gambler and kill him, so that the human and material evidence were all there, and who could have any doubts.

"Lord Colin is a great achievement in recovering the scepter for us, how can he punish you?" said Bishop Carlo with a smile, but he made up his mind to find out for himself. Is Master Colin's spies ordinary people? Isn't it unreasonable that even a gambler can't take it?

"This is all a matter of duty, the Holy See is stable, and our Xueman Kingdom is stable. Besides, if the archbishop is looking for me, I will do my best. "Colin knows very well that this is the time to give credit to the archbishop.

After waiting for a while, Colin's men delivered the scepter to everyone.

Legend has it that it was an artifact used by the god of nature, but where the god is is an unsolved mystery, and everyone has checked it repeatedly, and it is not possible to see that it is a copy.

"The matter has been settled, the archbishop has made amends, and the removal seems impossible. Gwynlith stepped forward.

The Queen Mother is right. Now that the matter has not been exposed, the removal of the archbishop will damage the reputation of the Grand Church. "There is a bishop who agrees with her, and the question of face is about the reputation of the Holy See.

Bishop Carloslo was pressured to abandon his proposal.

"Colin, this is a good thing. On the carriage, Gwen's mood finally improved, and there was really too much bad news during this time.

"Don't dare to live up to the high hopes of the Queen Mother. "Colin was very modest.

"Everything is taken care of?" Gwen believed in his ability, but was more reassuring to ask.

"Rest assured, dead people don't speak. "Colin knows what the Queen Mother means, the blacksmith who made the scepter has been secretly executed, and no one will say it, and no one will know.

"Well, what's the matter?" Gwen didn't want to hear more bad news.

"It's gone. Colin smiled and shook his head.

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say. The people who had been planted around Leon had recently made a new reply, and the town was getting better and better, which was completely different from what they had originally thought.

In order not to spoil Gwen's mood, he planned to hide it for the time being, no matter how capable Leon was, what threat could there be in a place where he had no troops at all.
