"Hahaha!"

At night, in the central district of Tyumen City, there was an extremely excited laughter from the Academy of Sciences.

In the conference hall, Paul I laughed and hugged the Kolulu in his arms and kissed him, he had learned the news of Katerina's withdrawal from the royal capital Petersburg, which means....

Katerina did not intend to carry out an armed coup.

"I haven't been so happy for a long time as I am today...."After the joy, Paul I sighed to Archbishop Henry, who was sitting on the side: "I thought that Katerina would take this opportunity to rebel, but I didn't expect that she would give up the royal capital.... Your Excellency the Archbishop, does this mean that she has given up the struggle for the throne and recognized the status of our king? ”

Archbishop Henry pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I don't think Katerina will give up fighting for the throne. ”

"Then why did she withdraw from Petersburg?"

"Because they don't have the strength to fight against the Wisdom God Cult right now, I have long been fully prepared, if the Church of Truth dares to make a move, it will definitely be defeated." Archbishop Henry said: "Secondly, the Romanov kingdom has just gone through a war, the cities are in ruins, and it takes a lot of time and manpower to rebuild, and at this time a coup d'état is launched to purge the officials of the kingdom, who will preside over the post-war reconstruction?" ”

"You know, although these officials will fill their pockets, they still have a certain ability, and getting rid of them, the new officials may not be able to do better than them."

It would be too simple to make excuses for Katerina's withdrawal from the royal capital of Petersburg, Archbishop Henry casually said two.

"So, we don't have to worry about Katerina and the Church of Truth suddenly attacking?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry about it for the time being."

"Good, good, good." Paul I breathed a sigh of relief, he was in a good mood, and he was even more energetic: "Then let's leave tomorrow according to the original plan, and return to the Winter Palace, I really have enough to live here...."

"Hmm."

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and Archbishop Henry got up and left the chamber and returned to his room.

Taking off his heavy archbishop's robe, he played with the brown gilded wooden box in his hand, sat on his chair, and stared at the kerosene lamp in front of him in a daze.

When the monk in charge of his daily life saw this, he could not help asking, "Archbishop, why do you look so worried?" Katerina's withdrawal from the army should be a good thing for us! ”

"It's a good thing for Paul I, but not necessarily for us."

Either to explain, or to straighten out his thinking, Archbishop Henry said in a quiet tone: "Katerina's withdrawal from the army means that she does not plan to rely on the army to carry out a coup d'état, so if she wants to sit on the throne, who else can she rely on?" ”

"You mean.... The Church of Truth? The monk couldn't think of any other possibility.

"It seems to be just an unremarkable retreat, but in fact, there are too many thoughts hidden behind it." Archbishop Henry's eyes were deep, and the dim light of a kerosene lamp flickered at the bottom of the child: "If Katerina does not withdraw her troops and launches an armed coup d'état, regardless of victory or defeat, her thoughts are centered on herself, assisted by the Church of Truth." ”

"Her withdrawal now means that in the future, the Church of Truth will be the core of the coup, and she will become an auxiliary."

"Isn't it clear who is the core and who is the periphery, so obvious minds?"

The monk's eyes widened, and he woke up in shock: "Katerina and the Church of Truth are deciding the future dominance?" ”

"yes... It seems that the Church of Truth has won, and a woman as strong as Katerina would bow her head... That's something I didn't expect, but it's understandable, without the help of the Church of Truth, Katerina couldn't have won against us. ”

Archbishop Henry rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "What really gives me a headache is that in the future, if Katerina launches this coup d'état, it will be much easier for us, but unfortunately..."

The monk pondered Archbishop Henry's words, and quickly came to an answer: "If the Church of Truth is the core, it means... In the future, there will be a direct conflict between the Church of Truth and the Cult of Wisdom God, and there will be a doctrinal war between us and the Church of Truth? ”

"That's right, a doctrinal war without gunpowder, and what the two sides are competing for is political means." Archbishop Henry nodded, a little apprehensive in his heart.

Although he was a believer in the Cult of Wisdom, he did not dare to pat his chest and say that the teachings of the Cult of Wisdom would definitely prevail over the Church of Truth.

On the contrary, after a cursory understanding of the doctrines propagated by the Church of Truth, he had unspeakable concerns about the future of the Church of Wisdom.

Everyone knows that the most important component of a country is the ordinary people, and without the support of the people, the country is a flower in the mirror, completely false.

The situation of the Romanov kingdom was not the same as that of other kingdoms, they were serfdom, and although the land belonged to the king, the serfs were the private property of the landlords.

Herein lies the problem.

Serfs are not objects, they are people, even if the landlords and nobles regard them as property, they are still people, living people, this is an unchangeable fact.

The core of the doctrine of the Church of Truth is to build an egalitarian, classless world based on the people.

If Archbishop Henry were to be compared to a serf, he would certainly have chosen the Church of Truth over the Cult of Wisdom.

Who wouldn't want their life to be a little better?

This doctrinal war, precisely the situation that Archbishop Henry did not want to see, because he knew better than anyone ....

Once the doctrine is contested, then tens of millions of serfs in the Romanlov Kingdom will fall to the Church of Truth.

It was terrifying, and the thought of that scene sent chills down his back.

"Mavi Enders.... It's really not easy for a pope to be able to build his own faction..."Archbishop Henry muttered in a low voice, "But you are the biggest weakness of the Church of Truth.... Just get rid of you, and the Church of Truth will collapse. ”

"Isn't Mavi Enders the man of prophecy?" The monk wondered, "If you get rid of him, won't the prophecy be broken?" ”

"The Church of Truth has found a way to become a god, and sooner or later the goddess of truth they believe in will become the true Lord God, and prophecy will not be wrong, and those who disobey the prophecy will be revolted." Archbishop Henry said: "But the first half of the Calamity does not mention that the prophet cannot die, that is, his mission is only to establish the Church of Truth and show the way to the Goddess of Truth, and when he has done all this, his mission is over..."

The monk thought for a moment, "What if he is also mentioned in the second half of the Calamity Tablet?" ”

"That's what worries me the most..."

Archbishop Henry's expression was dark, and he was a little undecided.

The removal of Mavi Enders would be of great benefit to the Cult of Wisdom, and as the founding pope, his status was unattainable by any later person.

As long as he lives, the Church of Truth will obey his commands, and even the Goddess will not disobey him.

He is the Creator of everything, the most central figure of the Church of Truth.

In the past era, every founding pope has done great things, including the creator of the God of the Apocalypse, Arbad Borghe.

Without Arbad Bojie's guidance, it would have been impossible for Nereyinda to bury and exile the powerful Old Gods and create the Age of the Apocalypse.

At the beginning of an era, tracing the roots of the roots, is often tied to one person.

Mavi Enders is the former Arbad Bojie, and the Church of Truth he founded will be prophesied to become a new god lineage, buried in the era of the god of the apocalypse.

With such an important figure alive, how could Archbishop Henry sleep?

He had already moved to kill, but he was even more afraid....

The second half of the Calamity Tablet also mentions the Prophecy, in which case, if he wants to kill Mavi Enders, he will become a disobedient prophecy.

But if we don't get rid of Mavi Enders, how can we curb the momentum of the Church of Truth?

Competing doctrines....

Archbishop Henry really didn't know the bottom of his heart.

The only thing that can give him comfort at the moment is that the Cult of Wisdom God has the support of King Paul I, and they have the upper hand if they can abolish serfdom before the Church of Truth....

It may disrupt the plans of the Church of Truth.

But the proposal to abolish serfdom had already touched the core interests of the aristocracy, and it was impossible for them to agree to it!

Therefore, Archbishop Henry was very irritable, the plan could not be implemented, and no matter how powerful the plan was, it was useless.

Anatole, the god of wisdom, and the Pope have high hopes for themselves, how can he back down at this juncture?

"I'm going to give it a try anyway...."

Archbishop Henry made the decision, and he looked out the window at the brightly lit crowd of people who were constantly celebrating:

"If the aristocratic faction refuses to budge, then it will have to carry out the puppet king plan..."
