The Holy Emperor's actions can be said to be vigorous, and on the second day of our discussion, he issued a notice that the six elders had collectively resigned and were no longer in the position of elders.
For a time, the whole temple was in a stir.
From ancient times to the present, there have been only eight elders at most, and only three at the least, but there has never been such a thing as a collective resignation of elders, and I dare not even think about it.
But today, something like this happened suddenly.
The entire temple boiled to the extreme in an instant, and a chaos that had not been seen for a long time appeared.
All of a sudden, the Holy Emperor was forced to stand on the cusp of the storm, countless archbishops moved, so many elders resigned, and the position of elder was forced to vacate, and it was okay to be empty for a few days, but for ten days and a half months, the temple must not be able to operate normally, whether it was for the sake of the temple or for themselves, many archbishops who were qualified to compete for the elders all wanted to see the Holy Emperor.
As a result, I was all blocked outside.
To be honest, I have nothing to do with this kind of offending people, but the Holy Emperor said that he needs some time to deal with the affairs after the resignation of the elders, as well as the planning after the leakage of top-secret information, and the whereabouts of these elders after their resignations.
It takes a certain amount of time, so no matter who comes to the door, they don't see it.
I asked why you should call a group of Templars to guard the gate and not let anyone in, but the Emperor kindly told me, "That group of people can't do it, they can't control the situation." ”
"What do you mean...... I have to. ”
"There are a few more suitable candidates, but I still want you to do it. ”
"Why?"
"Because you are bold and strong, plus you infiltrated the Light Council and captured the Second Apostle alive, the credit you have made is enough to overshadow everyone, they will not use your identity and status to force you, don't worry. ”
The Holy Emperor patted me on the shoulder and raised three fingers, "Three days, give me three days, I will take care of everything, and then you will be free." ”
So I agreed.
As a result, what happened was not like what the Holy Emperor said, the surging archbishops were more ruthless than one another, and they really didn't dare to suppress me with that identity and status, but those hundreds of mouths, one person and one sentence could make me stunned.
Especially the first archbishop to come to see the Holy Emperor, Archbishop Reinhardt.
The 100-year-old bishop has worked diligently for the temple for more than 80 years, from a small trainee priest to the position he is today, and I don't know how many ups and downs he has experienced, and the years have left countless marks on his body, but they cannot erase the feelings in his heart for the temple.
When he first appeared, I even thought that the Holy Emperor was standing in front of me.
That kind of momentum, those eyes, the gray hair and the wrinkles of the face, noble, majestic, sacred, but kind, not too big, but free and a breathtaking momentum.
"The old man wants to see the Holy Emperor, please let your Excellency report it!"
When he looked at me with those eyes full of wisdom, I felt a kind of spiritual oppression.
However, this kind of oppression does not have much advantage for me, I once faced the demon king Pandora, her existence is not much that humans can resist, and I have endured the impact on my soul, not to mention the old man in front of me who is only more than a hundred years old.
"I'm sorry, Archbishop Reinhardt, the Holy Emperor said that he has some urgent business to deal with, and for three days, no matter who comes, he will not be a guest!"
I said without humility.
A hint of surprise flashed in Reinhardt's eyes, and I didn't hide my observation, and I said slowly: "If Archbishop Reinhardt has any urgent matters that he can handle by himself, and he can't handle it, please come back in three days." ”
"This matter can't be handled by the old man, and he doesn't have the ability to suppress it until three days later!" Reinhardt said with a shake of his head.
"That's a shame. I said with regret.
Reinhardt was slightly choked, thinking that you wouldn't let me in if I said this, it would be too much, and his face couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Your Excellency, I must see the Holy Emperor today, this matter cannot be delayed any longer!"
"I'm sorry, I don't think there's anything more important than the Holy Emperor's matter right now, please come back, Archbishop Reinhardt!" With a wave of my hand, I gave the order to evict the guest.
Reinhardt's face couldn't help but change slightly, but he quickly stopped his anger, closed his eyes and thought for a few minutes, and his frowning brow loosened slightly.
"It's okay, it's come to this, it's useless to talk more, take your leave!"
"Please!"
I let out a long sigh of relief that this old fellow was not only strong enough, but also had a high status, he was originally qualified to become the seventh elder, but then he refused because of some things, so he is still an archbishop, but few people in the temple regard him as an archbishop.
Everyone thought that it was only a matter of time before he became an elder, so few people up and down dared to give him a face.
When I was idle and bored, I talked about it with the flowing fire, and immediately made the other party amazed.
"Does the captain really like to be in the limelight?" said with a wry smile, which made me a little surprised, "How can it be called a showman, I am just on the orders of the Holy Emperor." ”
"But you're too adamant!" said Driftfire, "Captain, you should be more tactful." ”
"It's not my last name. ”
"That's why the captain likes to be in the limelight. ”
Your sister in the limelight, if I didn't know how to politely refuse, you think I really don't want to be polite.
To my surprise, the first day had passed very peacefully since the dismissal of Archbishop Reinhardt, and no one had come to see the Holy Emperor again.
After seeing this situation, Liuhuo's brows also furrowed.
"Probably because after you rejected Archbishop Reinhardt, the others saw this, and they shouldn't be bored anymore until they are absolutely sure. ”
"Isn't that great? What are you frowning? I asked, puzzled.
"In this way, the captain is bound to be isolated. ”
"I'm isolated, what do you mean?"
"I've been wondering what the Holy Emperor wants to do with three days, three days is not a long time, it is not a short time, and it can be said that there are a lot of things that can be done, but it can also be said that there are very few, after all, three days is too ...... time."
"Tell the point!" I interrupted his nonsense by throwing a peanut impatiently.
"Okay, to the point. Liuhuo said calmly: "The collective resignation of the six elders is too serious, not to mention three days, even if the Holy Emperor is given three months, it may not be able to deal with it, so it is imperative to flirt with the new elders, but how to select these people is a difficult problem, so the Holy Emperor has a problem." ”
I frowned slightly, raised my head thoughtfully, and looked in the direction of the Holy Emperor Hall.
"The Holy Emperor has given many people three days, no matter what method they use, as long as they see him within three days, they are qualified to become the new elders, and now, the Holy Emperor is waiting for them in the Holy Emperor Hall, he wants to see who it is, who can be the first to see him. ”
Flowing Fire chuckled lightly and said, "But if you see the Holy Emperor easily, it won't be a test, so the Holy Emperor will have the first and last problem. ”
"I ...... Is it?"
"That's right, the Holy Emperor asked you to block everyone outside, just to see who can cross your threshold and see him, although everyone is a problem, a problem, a threshold, and acts on orders, but if you block their path to promotion, they will isolate you. ”
At the end, Flowing Fire sighed.
"Knowing and receiving are two completely different things. ”
"So he used me like a gun. "When I found out about it, I couldn't stop laughing.
Liuhuo shook his head and said: "This may not be, maybe it is the great favor, the threshold set by the Holy Emperor is you, who can cross it, it is the captain you have the final say, if you handle it well, the new elders owe you a favor, even if you are isolated by other archbishops." ”
I've never been very familiar with intrigue and intrigues.
Especially this time, it seems that the door is simply blocked or something, there are so many curves and curves inside, and there is no analysis of flowing fire, I really can't think of it.
But since Flowing Fire has given me a few words, why don't I understand how to put in a few archbishops and let the Holy Emperor be happy?
"I don't know exactly what you're going to do, Captain, but at least don't put anyone in it, in the end these are just my guesses, right or wrong. In case I guessed wrong......"
Flowing Fire shook his head slightly, obviously embarrassed by the consequences that were not optimistic.
So the next day, I was still standing in front of the Holy Emperor's Hall, like a door god, blocking all the archbishops who tried to see the Holy Emperor, and the number of people who came on this day was dozens of times more than yesterday.
Most of them were blocked by me, until at last there were three of them chirping around me, shouting upsetting things.
In the end, I was helpless, and then a terrifying holy force erupted, blowing away all the people who troubled me.
"Don't see it, don't see it, whoever dares to bother me again, I'll see one and fight another. "The ultimatum was given, and the archbishops who came to visit were suddenly much less.
In the morning, there is an endless stream, but in the afternoon, there are many people.
At dusk the next day, the sun sets and the afterglow falls over the earth, casting a faint layer of magnificent color on the temple.
At this moment, a man in his fifties, dressed in archbishop's robes, appeared.
He walked step by step, stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, like a god.
Every step of the man was as precise as if he had been measured with a ruler, his black hair was meticulously combed, there was no astonishing momentum, the stones on the plain roadside, the fish in the water, there was not a trace of strangeness.
But I clearly felt that the holy power in his body was surging like an endless ocean, almost no worse than the Holy Emperor in his heyday.
