The emperor has supreme power, and a word can determine the life and death of a person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if the emperor falls, this power will not disappear, but will be transferred to the successor. It is the duty of every nobleman to uphold the legitimacy of his successor, as well as instinct...... The aristocracy exists to preserve the deeds established by their ancestors, as well as the deeds left by the ancestors of the people to whom they are loyal. Their allegiance is to the emperor. Unless it is a nobleman who has the power to determine the world, he will not be subordinate. Otherwise, the imperial power will be maintained, because the imperial power is actually the representative of all the aristocratic forces.

Even if the emperor died, the general empire would not be able to mess up.

However, theocracy is different, theocracy is not hereditary, and if the pope dies and there is no successor, or if the successor does not have enough skills to control the situation, then the temple will be divided. They themselves will not fight hard, but they will be infighting for a period of time, and the huge organization will be dispersed into many forces, and they will not be able to function at all.

The ghost king is dead, and the hundred ghosts walk at night. As soon as the Pope was gone, the archbishops of the mage system below were ready to move.

Two days of chaotic transfers, in the eyes of the layman, felt that it was because Andorra was killed, so the temple shook. But those who have a heart can understand that this is a lot of little ghosts who want to be ghost kings.

Andorra had not chosen a successor in the first place, and in order to balance the power of all parties, Andorra gave many archbishops half a pound and eight taels of power...... The four cardinals, the four regional-level archbishops in the southeast, north, and west, as well as Philip, who had returned from the Holy Island of Light before, had close power in their hands, and in two days, except for Barrick, Philip, and one regional bishop, the other five people let their subordinates make a small move.

Just like the six dragons in the great river, they just turned over, and they made countless waves, and under the waves, there were even more terrifying, profound, and powerful undercurrents!

The nine dragons all have the strength to fight for this position, and if they fight, they will definitely bring ruin to the temple.

Fortunately, not all of these nine people want to be popes, and what no one wants to get hold of is the Holy See, whose power has shrunk significantly, so their fire is very restrained. Only a very keen-eyed person can sense that these nine dragons have been a little abnormal recently.

This situation must be stopped, and they must not be allowed to really fight. This situation can only be seen clearly by the Seven Holy Horsemen, who are outside the mage system and have a certain amount of resourcefulness and vision. As for the nine strongest people, of course, they can also see it, but they are all involved in disputes, and if they don't move at this time, if they move, even if they don't have the heart to be a pope, if they are misunderstood, they may also attract a group attack.

This chaotic situation made the Seven Holy Horsemen tremble, and in the end, the Seven Holy Horsemen felt that they couldn't hold it anymore, so they let the leader Pachelel take the idea...... Pachelaire is really a layman for this kind of thing. But after thinking about it, she decided to calm everyone down first. Of course, she can't suppress these people, but there is one person who can.

...... "Mistress Philip." Pachelaire had no choice but to go to Philip. Philip lost his bid for the Pope a thousand years ago, and only then did he retire to the Holy Isle of Light. A thousand years is enough to wipe out all a person's ambition and unwillingness, and every time you chant the Bible and come into contact with nature, you can also make a person's heart and surname extremely bright. So Pachelaire approached Philip.

Philip naturally knew what Pachilael had come to for...... Pachelel now represents the Seven Paladins, who, no matter which side they join, will be able to overwhelm three or four dragons. Pachelaire is against civil strife, so Pachelaire came for only one purpose, that is, to get Philip out of the horse and suppress the other eight dragons.

Philip was fiddling with the flowers in the office of the Abbey of Light, and he was a little surprised by Pachelel's arrival, but he continued to fiddle with his flowers and plants, ignoring Pachelaire.

"Master Philip. "Pachelaire's standard jaw is a sign of the knight's respect for the leader of the light.

"I understand your intentions. But, I don't want to sit in that position. I'm old, the world is young, and even if I sit there, how long can I sit? And I'm tired of the struggle for power. If I really depend on you, I won't live long. "Philippe didn't go to see Pachelaire. The reason why he retired was because of the original competition, many brothers and siblings died, and the Pope's competition was like a hidden knife, and it looked calm on the outside, but maybe your friend would disappear unconsciously, and this matter would not even be known to outsiders...... Philip was tired of it. He only needs to return to the arms of God in a few decades, and at this time, it will be too much effort to fight with the other Eight Dragons, and there may be a disaster of death. The danger comes not only from the Eight Dragons, but also, possibly, from Raphael...... In Kowloon, Pachelaire is sure that the reason why Barrick didn't move was because he wanted to be a yellow sparrow, and the reason why Philip didn't move was because he didn't want to participate!

Pachelaire was stunned for a moment, she could see Philip clearly, but she didn't see the situation clearly...... Once Philip is promoted to the throne, he may really die if he can't sit still!

Persuading people to die, Pachelaire really can't do it.

The situation froze for a moment, and Pachilael looked at Philip in a daze, and after Philip was there to play with the flowers, he turned around and looked at Pachilail with a gentle smile on his face.

This smile made Pachelaire feel very familiar, and Ye Luo's smile was also like this...... "At that time, I was cultivating on the Holy Island of Light, and Andorra sent me a letter, saying that there was a big crisis in the temple, and there were too few strong people to control the scene, so I came back with Shaq and Johnson." This time, you came to tell me that there was a big crisis in the temple, and let me come out of town...... In fact, I thought about it last night, if I didn't come out, who else would be able to control this scene? And as long as I control it well and don't sit in that position, you seven holy horsemen will support me, and I think my life safety should still be guaranteed. Philip laughed.

Whether the safety of life is guaranteed or not, only God knows.

Pachelaire looked at Philip, and only felt that the person opposite overlapped with the image of Grandpa Yeluo...... No matter how rotten the temple is, there are still such people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, just for the light in their hearts!

"The Seven Holy Horsemen must be behind you, as long as the seven of us don't die, those little ones won't be able to hurt you!" Pachelaire said.

Philip just laughed and shook his head.

...... That night, Philip invited many powerful people to the Great Council Chamber to continue the last meeting. This time, the number of participants was much lower than last time, and the bishops of small regions who were not very qualified did not show up.

Philip didn't speak, just sat there as if he were usual. Usually, he doesn't take care of things very much, and he does whatever he tells him.

With the exception of Balik and a regional archbishop, who were more restrained, this was the first time Andorra had assembled since his death, and could not help but make some tentative attacks.

"Now the temple dragons are headless, and they are like scattered sand. Sofina is a generation of empresses, if we don't form a group, I'm afraid that when she is properly arranged, we will be broken one by one. I don't think we should elect a new pope, even if it's temporary, and stabilize the interior first?" said one of the regional bishops, who was not very powerful, and who was only firing in the place of one of the archbishops.

"Hmph, Your Majesty Andorra's bones are not cold, and you want to fight for power? Baron, it's chilling for you to do this. Another cardinal's henchman, who was also a regional bishop, began to fire back.

Nabalon's face froze, and then he said: "I'm fighting for power? I'm so much worse in rank, what kind of power is I fighting for! But you are preventing the election of a new pope, do you want us to continue to scatter like this, so as to give others a chance to break through one by one? Diga, you have bad intentions!"

"Don't make any noise! Find out who killed His Majesty Andorra at this time, that's the point! I suggest that the crusaders send men to search everywhere for suspicious traces, I don't know if you have any objections?" As long as the troops are dispatched, they can allocate funds for activities, and this man has a good idea. As soon as the soldiers come out, even if those soldiers are not from his faction, others will think they are. Those soldiers themselves will also have a sense of identification with him, and they will also feel that it is he who makes financial allocations, which can be transferred.

This is a very clever empty glove white wolf technique.

"I don't think that can be ruled out of Randy's suspicions. This is likely to have something to do with the royal family. Sofina is ruthless, and the three Randy were brought by her, even if it wasn't Randy's doing, Sofina can't get rid of suspicion. We should investigate this thoroughly. Finally, a cardinal took a stand. Some time ago, he sent someone to Sofina to inquire, but Sofina didn't say a word and directly beat his people out, which made him very annoyed and lost face. If he doesn't get this game back, his prestige is in jeopardy.

"Kanas, you're giving Sofina a chance to get in! What the hell do you want to provoke Sofina at this juncture?" a regional archbishop sneered.

Kanas had a sacred expression and looked at him solemnly: "In the face of power, you are afraid. ”

These people are all archbishops who are good at preaching and baptism, and the real sword fight may not be outstanding, but when a soft knife stabs people, it is full of tricks and hidden needles! If you are not careful, you may fall into the trap of the other party! But these people are similar in strength, and no one can help anyone! Moreover, they are good at distorting words and concealing their hearts, and they are obviously eager to drive their opponents into a dead end in their words, but they do not have the slightest murderous aura in their expressions! On the contrary, they look sacred!

'Sure enough, has the temple decayed to this point?' Philip looked at his seat with his chin propped up, his heart heavy. Andorra is very good at controlling the heroes with power and money, but his requirements for the faith of the bishops are too low. Once he dies and no one pays these people anymore, these people will be in turmoil. Moreover, these people who are supported by power and money can't help but want to take advantage of the opportunity, even if they can't compete for the position of pope, they want to fight for some other rights......

Philip's heart was cold.

The demons in front of him were dancing wildly, and Philip finally couldn't stand it.

With two snaps, he clapped his palms.

"Everyone, be quiet, can you listen to me?" said Philip suddenly.

Philip has not spoken, and everyone can see that he has no heart to compete for this position. And Philip is the strongest of the nine, and everyone wants to win him over. So he asked everyone to be quiet, and everyone sold his face and quieted down.

After everyone calmed down, Philip suddenly smiled, and this smile made everyone secretly say that it was not good...... They wanted to win over Philip so they could sell him face, but in the eyes of many people, it became Philip who was able to suppress them! In addition, Philip invited them over this time, and they all came...... Everyone was praying that Philip would not suddenly become interested in the position. Then, I heard Philip's faint words: "I think that we must first bury His Majesty Andorra and bury him in the ground, and then we can discuss other matters, what do you think?"

“...... Makes sense. Everyone secretly felt bad in their hearts, but Philip's words were right and irrefutable.

"The cardinal with the highest status now is Master Barrick. I think it is most fitting that he should be responsible for reciting the scriptures for His Majesty the Pope of Andorra, and that he would be the best expression of his respect for His Majesty Andorra. What do you think?" said Philip.

The crowd was already completely shocked! Philip was going to do something to them? Why did he suddenly have the heart to fight? Why did he do it against so many people? Didn't he know that this would cause public anger?

Barrick also looked at Philip with wide eyes!

None of them reacted, and Philip continued, "Pachelaire, come in!" The door opened, and the Seven Horsemen entered together. Philip added, "Sally, send down the information that His Majesty Andorra had left and not sent. ”

Everyone looked at Philip, Shaq, and Johnson in shock, and returned behind Philip! Moreover, Pachelaire and other former holy knights were also standing behind him! Sally followed the order and handed out the information prepared by Andorra!

The 'Seven Holy Horses' among the two strongest sharp knives in the temple already belong to Philip!

Everyone took the things in a daze, and they were not in the mood to check it, Philip smiled faintly, and said, "I have already put the people of the Inquisition in charge of tracking down the murder of His Majesty Andorra." ”

This is another bombshell, the second sharp knife of the temple, the 'Inquisition', has also been enveloped by Philip!

The Inquisition has the power to fight against the Seven Holy Horsemen, and of course these people will not try to win them over, but the Inquisitor and his enforcers are the killers of the Temple...... It's like the Dharma Protector Arhat around the Buddha! Except for the reason of 'Dharma Protector', only the Buddha can command them!

These archbishops wanted to win over the sword of the Temple, and how could this knife obey their will? But Philip was different, Philip was originally in the Abbey of Light, and had a close relationship with the Inquisition, and everyone knew who he was. He went into the afternoon to visit the Inquisition, and after only one word, the inquisitor surrendered.

"I don't want you to be loyal to me, and I don't want to be pope, it's just that Raphael may take revenge on the temple during this time, and the temple must be twisted together, if you believe me, help me de-escalate the situation for the time being. You are covered in blood and cannot serve as pope. I've been in retirement for a thousand years, and you should believe me don't have that ambition either. Help me, only if we join forces can we stabilize the situation. Philip's simple words made the referee surrender.

There are some people in the world who are not for power, not for profit, not for fame.

The Inquisitor is hidden in the darkness and cannot see the light, what is he asking for? It is nothing but the belief in his heart! Kill yourself to become benevolent, sacrifice your life for righteousness, and prove Bodhi under the sword of Shura!

Thousands of words and countless promises from others can't move the referee, but Philip only went in for half an hour before he said that he was moved!

With two sharp knives in hand, Philip could already suppress any five of the other eight people combined.

Everyone looked at it in shock, they were really stunned, this is called not making a sound, a blockbuster!

Philip looked around and looked at the surprised crowd, still with a smile on his face: "I just said that the matter of finding out the cause of His Majesty Andorra's death will be handed over to the Inquisition, so ......" Philip's eyes narrowed, and there was a murderous aura on his body, "Whoever dares to move people and horses indiscriminately and want to take advantage of the opportunity to seek some ulterior interests, don't blame me for the thunderous means." A bland sentence was like a thunderbolt that shook everyone!

"That's it, adjournment. Philip said lightly, got up after speaking, and left the large conference hall with the Seven Holy Horses.

...... "Lord Philip, you behaved so well just now, and the rest of you couldn't even speak!haha!" He had been practicing with Philip for a long time, and the relationship between the two was like that of the Three Holy Horsemen and Andorra, almost as a master and apprentice.

Philip shook his head and smiled bitterly, suppressing internally, no matter how beautiful it is, it is not glorious.

Pachelaire was also in good spirits on the side, she entrusted the matter to Philip, and sure enough, the bet was right, and Philip stopped everyone else as soon as he made a move.

"Then what next, after the burial of His Majesty Andorra, it will be time to consider your succession, Lord Philip. Pachelaire said. If Philip succeeds her, she will definitely support it.

Philip shook his head: "I am already old, my vision, knowledge, and energy are not as good as those archbishops, when the time comes, I will choose an archbishop with high moral prestige, and we will nominate him together...... As for me, I can't sit in that seat, and that's my promise to you, and to the referee. ”

"But we don't mind. Pachelaire busied.

Philip just smiled and shook his head.

He looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "Even if we become monolithic, it is useless, we can't stop Raphael's group of god-level subordinates...... The top priority is to find the right time and use the Divine Descent Technique. ”

The smile on Pachelaire's face suddenly froze.
