There may be many bishops in the Church.

The village has a village bishop, and the district has a district bishop.

But when the word "bishop" comes out of the mouth of a district bishop, it undoubtedly means two notches heavier.

The bishop that Kane is talking about is the bishop of the Kingdom of Altalia, the archbishop.

That is, the Pope.

The person who opposes the oracle of sovereignty is actually the Pope, who represents the will of the Church.

Hearing this news, Dongfang Mu was also shocked.

The real version of the enemy is in Honnoji.

Kane took another sip of his drink. Dongfang Mu asked, "Why?" ”

"Why would the Pope take the lead in refusing to carry out the Sovereign's decree?"

Kane said: "The opinion within the church is that it needs to be verified whether the one who appeared that day was the Lord of the true God. After all, the Lord has not appeared in decades. ”

"What else does this need to prove? It's obvious that it's the Juggernaut himself! "Dongfang Mu is in a hurry.

"How do you prove it?"

Dongfang Mu: "......"

Kane took a sip of his wine, shook his head, and said, "Actually, I think it's more of a pretext. ”

Dongfang Mu was anxious to find out what the deeper real reason was, but Kane still refused to say anything more.

So, he resorted to a skillful drinking table culture, and after a few rounds of drinking, Kane was completely drunk, and his mouth was completely pried open.

According to him, the Pope's attitude may have something to do with the city of Asteria.

The city of Asteria is the largest city in the country outside of the royal capital.

This city is also known as the church city.

If kings are the residence of kings, then Asteria is the residence of the Pope.

Thirty years ago, the first pope began to build the city in Asteria, and after twenty years, it was finally built that this great city is even more magnificent than Altalia.

After more than ten years of development, the city is prosperous day by day, and it is no less than the royal capital.

If it goes through more than ten years of development, it is not a fool's dream to surpass the royal capital.

Kane believes that the fundamental reason why the Church opposes sending troops to conquer the east of the Misty Forest lies in this Asterian city.

If you want to go east out of the Misty Forest, the Church Crusaders must be the main force, and now the Church Crusaders have almost become the private property guards of the Church, more inclined to maintain law and order in Asteria, and are also used for the reclamation and tuning of nearby mines.

Sending the Church troops east would not only not be beneficial to the Church's centennial plan, but would also cost the precious Crusader troops.

In this way, of course, the Pope is unwilling.

For the royal family, the Praetorian Guard was almost the last line of defense to protect the king's personal safety, and it was impossible for them to send the Praetorian Guard to send troops.

All in all, after 50 years of closed development and lax armaments, Altalia is no longer suitable for war.

Dongfang Mu had a little headache.

I thought that I didn't have to do anything, just the simple task of watching Altalia's movements, but now it is involved in so much trouble.

He grabbed Kane's hand:

"Do you want to be pope?"

As soon as he said this, Kane woke up.

"Great Reversal...... Nope! ”

"If you don't want to be, then I didn't say it."

A bishop who doesn't want to be a pope is not a good priest, and as a priest who climbed so high at a young age, Kane certainly has ideals.

It's just that a person who has known him for a short time suddenly said such things, which made him dare not take the stubble for a while.

His brain was dizzy, and when he woke up, he whispered, "What do you mean by asking?" Can you still help me become the Pope? ”

"You can try."

"How do you try this?" Kane felt that his outlook on life was slightly subverted.

"How can I be a pope?" Dongfang Mu asked.

Kane touched his head, originally he only thought that this stranger was strong, but what he didn't expect was that this guy was still a little crazy.

"You don't even know how the pope came about, so you can be sure that you will nominate me as the pope?"

Dongfang Mu didn't answer, and Kane continued: "My sect is highly hierarchical, and there is an order to inherit the Pope. ”

"The entire church is divided into five levels according to seniority and strength, and the lowest is the clergy, which is equivalent to the clerk in the church, who runs errands and organizes activities, and can only be promoted to bishop of the church after a certain number of years."

"The bishop of the parish presides over the affairs of a village church, large and small, and after performing well, he can be promoted to the bishop of the district, and above the bishop of the district, he is the cardinal, and above the cardinal, he is the pope."

Dongfang Mu asked, "How did the Pope come about?" ”

"Born within the cardinal." Kane said, "Now, there are three cardinals in our country, and they have an internal succession line, the pope is for life, once the previous pope returns to heaven, and the one who is in the highest priority of succession will automatically become the next pope." ”

Dongfang Mu nodded: "In this way, you must at least be promoted to cardinal before you are qualified to touch the position of the Pope?" ”

Kane said with a sad face: "How can it be so easy to be promoted to the red coat?" I am the most junior bishop of the district, and although there is still one vacancy in the red coat, it is not something I can touch. ”

Dongfang Mu asked, "Then how can you get qualifications?" Can you only survive for years? ”

"No, if you make a contribution to the church, the top will naturally promote you, and of course there are many other factors to consider." Kane Road.

To sum up, Dongfang Mu understands that the church's clergyman system, to put it bluntly, still requires credit, backstage, and money, and after all the money is in place, your name can appear on the list without hindrance.

Kane's family does have a bit of a background, but it's only a small background, mainly because of his outstanding personal strength, and with these, he can already see the ceiling when he climbs to the position of the district bishop.

There are only 4 cardinals, and many people will never be able to touch the edge of the red coat for the rest of their lives.

"Then I know, the primary purpose now is to find a red coat for the main battle."

Kane frowned: "Even if it's a red coat who is the main battle like me, he may not want to be my backstage?" ”

"You misunderstood," Dongfang Mu said, "My purpose is to get a Pope of the Main Battle Sect, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble if I directly find a Red Cloth of the Main Battle Sect?" ”

Kane: "......"

That means I'm not worthy, am I?

Kane said: "Most of the cardinals have deep interests in the city of Asteria, and the Pope and these cardinals are tied together. ”

Speaking of this, half with the strength of wine, he smashed his fist on the table: "Damn, sooner or later, I will transform this rotten ......"

Dongfang Mu glanced at him.

This guy's loyalty to the Juggernaut seems to be quite high.

It's a usable talent.

……

Soon after the tavern conversation, the day-to-day life began again. Probably because he had drunk too much that day, Kane gradually forgot about it.

Something happened during this period.

The first is that the strongest five-member team in history has been disbanded.

The original purpose was to find the murderer who kidnapped the princess, but the murderer seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared from the world, and the princess had been recovered, so the motive for finding the murderer was also reduced by half.

The group of five was an important player in their respective forces, and it was impossible to put more effort into this matter, so the team was disbanded.

It's just that the five top characters are secretive about how they once formed such a team. Thinking about it, such a strong team didn't do anything, and it was disbanded when it turned around, and I was really embarrassed to say it.
