Eighty-five, the storm surging (9 ends)
After listening to the Pope's account of the purpose of the meeting, the head of the Bright Swordsmen's Legion, Tom Pike St. Olus, first said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to give way, the temple is indispensable to your leadership." The Pope waved his hand lightly and said, "Don't say much about this kind of thing, I just want to ask you if it is the best choice to give way to Mei Hua." After two days of hard work, the Pope finally wanted to give way to his great-granddaughter, which is not much different from having power, anyway, they are all his relatives, besides, he can still preside over the overall situation behind the scenes, and the power in his hands is not much less, so he also thinks that Nicholas's proposal is still acceptable.
The Pope still secretly summoned Nicholas again to inquire about countermeasures, thinking that it was not feasible to let Meihua come to power on the surface, secretly take power by himself, and implement a certain amount of power containment on Kaigula, but Nicholas beat his idea to death with a stick: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, this will only be counterproductive, who is Kaigula?" If he will be willing to be controlled by others, he will not always be independent of the temple, and he has been unwilling to join the temple for decades, of course, there are various reasons he said, but he is not willing to be subordinate to one of the reasons, people like him, if someone above is contained, then he will not be able to let go of his hands and feet to display his talents, now we don't need to control the power in Kaigula's hands, on the contrary, what we need is that Kaigula can grasp the power, work hard to display his talents, and improve the strength of our templeใ "Nicholas, what will happen if I do this?" asked the Pope, also with some concern.
Nicholas said: "Your Majesty, if you really do this, then there will only be two of them, you and Kaigula will fight for power, either you will die or Kegula will die, and the two people will inevitably not be able to coexist." Your Majesty, if it really comes to this point, then there is no point in your abdication, power is very important, but Kaigula is not an outsider, he is your great-grandson-in-law, and also your junior brother, he has always been good to you, no matter what, as long as you let him be the master, he will not do anything to you, otherwise, Mei Hua will not be able to pass that level. Of course, if it were someone else, it would not be an exaggeration for His Majesty to do this, but Kaigula is different from others, he is a very affectionate person, as long as His Majesty shows his sincerity to him, he will definitely repay it with sincerity. โ
The Pope nodded in agreement, although Kaigula refused to join the temple, but over the years, he has not lost his courtesy to the temple, let alone shortened the supply to the temple, it can be said that in the place where he can make concessions, over the years, Kaigula has not had a lot at all, and his name as a saint of light is not called in vain, and the Pope still trusts Kaigula's character. He thought of this and said, "I don't have anything to worry about now, just do what you say." โ
The Minister of Theology, Rolyd St. God, said: "Your Majesty, although what Nicholas said is not very pleasant, I think that if you really want to give way, there is no one more suitable than Mei Hua, or Mei Hua's talents are not suitable for the office of Pope, but she has a good husband." โ
Rolyd * Holy * God has said this, and of course the others understand, indeed, except for Mei Hua, other candidates have such and such problems, the most important thing is that they cannot make the Temple of Light unified. Even if the Pope gives way to Kaigula, then Ovat will definitely pull Kaigula's hind legs, this point does not need to be asked, as for the others, Khan one, can they make people like Kaigula willing to obey orders? Of course it's impossible, even Ovat was defeated by Kaigula's men, let alone anyone else, so only Mei Hua can obey, even if Owat is unwilling, but he can't oppose it, because Mei Hua is the great-granddaughter of the Pope, and no one can say anything about it, so Mei Hua is indeed the best candidate.
The Commander of the First Legion of the Shadow Legion, Lelev Saint Light, said: "Your Majesty, your decision is our decision, but the abdication of the throne is not trivial, we must be cautious, now, the person in our temple who is qualified to take over the position of Pope is not only Kaigula, but also one person, if he also jumps out to compete for the throne of the Pope, then the consequences will be troublesome." "I'll take care of it, and I won't let him get in the way of our business." Of course, the Pope knows who Lelev is talking about, but he also knows how Ovat's reaction is, and if he wants to pass on the throne, of course he must deal with these things.
All the henchmen have no opinion, the Pope wants to give way, although they are a little lost, after all, it is a courtier for a lifetime, and they have changed an emperor, and they don't know what their fate is, of course, for Mei Hua, they also know better, Kaigula's personality They are also more clear, I believe that these two people will not be used to cut them once they gain power, but the power in their hands is weakened It is an indispensable thing, however, these are not unacceptable, although they are also subject to the power in their hands, but they are still believers in the God of Light, if there is no way, the Pope will not give way, this is also very clear to themใ
A little uneasy and a little excited, Ovant walked into the study under His Majesty the Pope, and the Pope smiled and said, "Sit down." "Your Majesty. "You're welcome, sit down, Ovat, you're my disciple, and you've made a lot of contributions to the temple over the years, and you haven't lost my face, that's right." "Thank you for the exaggeration, but Ovatt is still not good enough. Ovat hurriedly humbled himself.
The Pope nodded and said, "Ovat, when did you follow me?" "Remember, Your Majesty, I've been with you since I was five years old, I'm an orphan, Your Majesty adopted me, raised me, and taught me all kinds of magic. "Yes, in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and you are also in your eighties this year, time flies so fast. "Your Majesty, don't you say that I don't recognize that I'm over eighty years old this year, and I'm almost an old man. Ovott also said with a self-deprecating laugh.
The Pope said: "Ovat, you are a disciple I taught single-handedly, I also know your skills, you have made a lot of contributions to the temple over the years, I have seen all these in my eyes, I must also know the Tao, the position of the head of the Dark Temple has changed hands, Lorissa has come to power, what do you think about this?" Lolitsa's coming to power means that the black-clothed Shura has the power of the Dark Temple, which is not a good thing for our temple, the black-clothed Shura is not easy to deal with, give him some time, I am afraid that the strength of the Dark Temple will be greatly improved, and at that time, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them. "Ovatt is not stupid, and of course he sees these things very clearly.
The Pope said: "I am already old, and I no longer have the energy or the ability to increase the strength of our temple several times, Ovat, I want to give up the position of Pope, and let the younger generation lead our temple out of the predicament, who do you think in our temple has this ability?"
Hearing the Pope's words, Ovart was stunned, he didn't know what the Pope meant, but the meaning of the Pope's abdication was still understood, he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, you are not old, you are still very young, our temple cannot do without your leadership." "Ovat, I have decided on this matter, and I have discussed it with many people, but I have not yet decided on the next pope, and you are also one of the candidates, I want to hear your opinion, can you take over this important task?"
Ovalt's heart was really pounding, did the Pope want the Pope to give him the throne? He thought so in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that my talents are limited and I am not able to take on this important responsibility." "Ovat, it's useless to say this, I just want to ask, if you take over the Pope, will you be able to defeat our two great enemies?" the Pope interrupted Ovalt, asking a central question.
Ovant said, "Your Majesty, I have this faith. "It's good to have faith, but do you have the strength, what would you do if you were the Pope?" "I will reform the temple, revitalize the economy, select talented nobles to serve in the temple and the official positions of the empires, and let the nations and temples unite and work together, so that they will definitely be able to defeat the Dark Temple and the orc empire." "Is there a specific way, let's hear it. โ
Owalt was ecstatic in his heart, and he said his plan one by one: "The first step I want to do is to collect the treasures of the temple, collect all the taxes owed by the countries to the temple, and use them to improve the economy, increase investment in the economy, so that the people can get benefits." The second step is to select outstanding people from among the nobility to serve in official positions, improve the governance of our temple and the nations, and enable the people to bask in the glory of God. The third step is to reorganize the army, increase the investment in the research of various magic machines, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. Step 4....... โ
After hearing this, the Pope asked, "Owat, if the Dark Temple and the Orc Empire come to attack at the same time, what can you do?" With the strength of our temple, we will definitely not be defeated by them. This statement is true, and Ovat did not dare to say that he would be able to defeat the combined attack of the Dark Temple and the Orc Empire. "If the Yanhuang clan attacks, what will we do?" "We will fight a scorched earth battle with them, and we will have a decisive battle with them with our superior forces, although the Yanhuang clan is strong, but after all, they are also human beings, and they will also be tired, so I believe that we will be able to evil the Yanhuang clan." "If the Yanhuang Clan, the Dark Temple, and the Orc Empire come together to attack, what will we do?"
Ovate didn't know how to answer, the Pope sighed in his heart, Ovate was still a little hot, it seems that passing the position to Ovate is not a good choice, or passing the position to Meihua is the most in the interests of the temple and himself. This one is the gap in strength, no, it should be said that it is the gap in strategic vision, in contrast, there is an essential difference between Ovat's strategic vision and Kaigula and Nicholas, Nicholas is right, if the throne is passed to Ovat, it will only bring a point of no return to the temple.
