Chapter 18: The Strange Pendant
No matter what country you are in, military power is very important. But in comparison www.biquge.info military power is not so important within the Brilliant Holy Sect, and the form of religious rule determines that it is difficult to get support for ascending to power through similar mutiny, and it will also give the four countries of the mainland an excuse to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.
Therefore, even if you control the military power of the Holy See, it is difficult to use the military power in your hands to do anything without the Pope's seal.
So don't look at the military power left by Edward IV all taken over by Allen, but any unauthorized transfer is against the decree of the Holy See, and this time the two major knights escorted Allen back from the Forbidden Mountain Range is actually a taboo.
It's just that this is the only heir to protect the Holy See under special circumstances, and as long as he is not a person who is asking for trouble, he will not use this matter to attack Allen or Saul, Rice and others.
But while Allen, the Son, had safely returned to the Holy Mountain, he had mobilized the army to act as his personal bodyguard, which was not something that could be forgiven by most people.
That's right, the whereabouts of Pope Edward IV are unknown, and Allen, the Holy Son, is the only heir, so there is no difference with the Pope, but no difference means that there are still some differences!
Don't underestimate this, Hailan knows how much some old stubborns in the Holy See attach importance to this kind of thing, and it is a troublesome thing that even Hailan herself sometimes wants to shut up these people, but at this time, Hailan wants to laugh.
Allen, the holy son, did a really good job, leading the army back to the holy city, which can be said to be overwhelming, which made many centrists fall to Allen's side.
Many high-level clerical leaders originally resisted Allen's succession because of age, especially in this complicated situation, whether Allen can handle the next thing is the focus of their worries.
But as long as Eren shows some merits, with the blessing of orthodox advantages, these people will soon change from being forced to support the Holy Son in front of Manto to really supporting.
Hyland's biggest concern is also this problem, fortunately, Edward IV suddenly disappeared, leaving no news, and the prayer to the Nine Holy Spirits did not get any response, which made the old people of the Holy See find a sense of existence, and whether His Highness the Holy Son can succeed to the throne this time, their statement is indispensable.
Not to mention that Hailan was thinking about how to use this incident to make some trouble for Allen, but Allen ignored Hailan after returning to the Holy Mountain, and returned directly to his long-lost room.
Although more than half a year has passed, as the residence of His Royal Highness the Holy Son on the holy mountain, it is naturally impossible to ignore it, and there is a special person responsible for cleaning and tidying up every day, so the whole room still looks very clean and tidy.
It's just that because it is uninhabited, the room is filled with a faint desertion, and if it weren't for the few plants that were specially placed in the room to welcome the return of His Highness the Holy Son, it would really be lifeless at all.
Alan looked at the room in front of him and took a deep breath, from the moment he walked on the holy mountain, there was no way out, and many things could only be faced and solved all the way forward.
There weren't many people following Alan, Hansard and Saul had some things to deal with, Delia didn't know where she had run since she climbed the Holy Mountain, and now only Manto, Lehman, and Elaine were still behind Alan.
Alan looked back at Elaine for a while, then smiled and touched Elaine's hair, and said to her, "Elaine, you just stay here and clean up first, I still have things to deal with." ”
Lehman glanced at Alan in some surprise, but Manto nodded, and said in his heart that Edward IV was not wrong, and the decision not to intervene between Alan and Elaine back then was still correct, and you see that now, Alan can still distinguish the order.
Elaine nodded first, and just as Eren was about to walk past her, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Alan, while also digging something into her chest. Not to mention Manto and Lehman, even Alan himself is quite puzzled.
But obviously, they all thought badly, Elaine was not a little girl who was full of love and love, although her face was a little red when she was seen by the strange eyes of several people, but she quickly calmed down.
"Your Highness, His Majesty the Pope gave me something before leaving, saying that he would give it to you if necessary, and I think now should be the time. ”
Alan was taken aback by Elaine's actions just now, although he was still a little happy in his heart, but he never imagined that she would behave like this, but after listening to Elaine's words, Alan himself couldn't tell whether he was more happy or disappointed in his heart.
Elaine took out an ordinary silver necklace from her neckline, thinking carefully that it was exactly what she had seen Elaine wear after leaving the Holy City, but Alan had always thought that it was a little girl's favorite jewelry, and it was inconvenient to wear it on the Holy Mountain, so she never thought about anything else.
However, the pendant that appeared on the necklace was a little strange, it was a round pendant, the surface was carved with the image of the Nine Holy Spirits, and on the back there were some intricate patterns that could not be seen.
Allen, who was a little unclear, couldn't help but look at Manto, and found that he was also puzzled, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "Doesn't the Grand Priest of Manto know what this thing is?"
"Your Highness, can you give me a closer look?"
Saying that, Manto stretched out the necklace in Alan's hand, but Alan suddenly shook his hand and dodged sideways, which made several people a little strange, didn't Eren trust Manto?
Only Delia vaguely understood something, but she didn't interject at this time, no matter what, Ellen's behavior still made Delia a little moved.
"Ahem, I'll just show it to Grand Priest Manto. ”
Alan also realized that his actions were a little too drastic, and it may have brought a lot of blows and injuries to Manto, but he couldn't explain that this was Delia's personal thing, I just didn't want you to touch it.
Fortunately, Manto was only distracted for a moment, and then he understood Allen's careful thoughts, and he didn't say anything, after understanding the reason, Manto was naturally able to understand Allen's behavior.
"It should be a very important thing. After looking at it for a moment, Manto said with some embarrassment, he also knew that his words were not much different from nonsense, but even he had never seen anything like it with Edward IV.
This makes Alan inevitably a little big, knowing that he has a good thing in his hand, but he can't figure out what he is doing, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.
"Elaine, didn't His Majesty the Pope say anything else?"
Elaine thought carefully for a moment, although the matter was quite important, after all, more than half a year had passed, and nothing had happened during this period that brought back memories, and at this time, thinking back to the scene of that day, it was inevitable that it was a little vague.
Illion only remembered that after Edward IV handed over the things to him for safekeeping, he arranged in detail how to "abduct" Eren from the Holy City, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.
In the end, Elaine could only shake her head helplessly: "Except for explaining the plan, His Majesty didn't say anything about this to me anymore." ”
