Chapter 1263: Cardinal Archbishop

Jacob's smile was sincere, and even a little relieved, and the Sith patriarch showed a rare smile, a serious and rigid old man one moment ago, but a kind and kind appearance this moment.

"Your Excellency the Pope, you have reigned for three hundred years, the Xuan Realm has developed very well, all this is inseparable from your efforts, and the old decay has thanked the lords for the northern cities!"

"On behalf of the southern cities, I, the Locke family, have also thanked the Pope for his hard work!"

"I, the head of the Nemo family, represent the ...... of the West"

"Hahaha!" Jacob's laughter interrupted Patriarch Nemo's words, and he shook his head, "Affirm my merits first, and then talk about the problem, in the end, I just want me to abdicate, I'm not wrong!"

Patriarch Nemo's polite words were interrupted by the other party, and he was displeased in his heart, and he smiled: "Everything is for the better development of the Xuan Realm!

"Oh, you just said that it was doing well under my leadership, didn't you?"

"Yes! but...... The Xuan Realm could be even better!"

"Patriarch Nemo thinks I can't make the Metaverse better?"

"This ......"

Patriarch Nemo hesitated, he didn't want a head-on confrontation with Jacob, and he wasn't used to having something to say.

"That's right! The Pope's strategy is no longer suitable for the current Xuan Realm!"

The Sith patriarch was outspoken, not saving face for the Pope at all, and the high-ranking members of the three major clans stood behind these bigwigs, and they felt chills down their spines when they heard it.

This is the Pope of the Holy Spirit!

"Is it because of the Evil Venerable and the Void Beast? They are bent on hiding, and no one can find them!"

"No! it's because of the Listening Chamber!"

Jacob's smile froze, his eyes became cold, he had served in the Hearing Pavilion, served as the deputy cabinet master, and he had a deep affection for the Hearing Pavilion, if these old guys dared to slander the Hearing Pavilion, even if they fought for the position of Pope, they had to make them look good.

"Because I'm partial to the Listening Chamber?" Jacob said with a smile: "I was born in the West and grew up in the Listening Pavilion, and that is my home, so even if I have a slight preference, it is reasonable! Won't you be biased towards your own people? Patriarch Locke, if I remember correctly, you did something to bully men and women a hundred years ago before you succeeded to the throne!"

Patriarch Locke smiled and nodded: "Your Excellency the Pope has a good memory! I did fall in love with a woman and broke up the other party and her fiancé, but that woman is now my second aunt, and the other party's fiancé is also doing well, and besides, because of this incident, I have been facing the wall for ten years...... It is only natural that His Holiness the Pope has a preference, and you have taken great care of the Hearing Pavilion since the first day of your appointment, and no one has said anything, has you?"

Jacob's expression became more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the reason for that?"

The Sith patriarch shook his head and said, "Didn't the Pope understand what Patriarch Locke meant?"

"I want to hear about it!"

"The previous patriarch of the Locke family concealed some things because of his preference for his son, but now the Locke patriarch has grown into a rare Optimus Jade Pillar in the Xuan Realm, and he has paid the price for his past actions and made sufficient compensation. As the saying goes, knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great! But ...... It doesn't seem like that's the case in the Listening Chamber!"

"What do you mean?"

"Archbishop in white, please explain!"

"Alas!" the white-clothed archbishop sighed first, bowed to Jacob, and said, "Your Excellency, I am just telling the truth, not against you!"

"Tell me the truth!"

"Alright! Amon's team of thirteen has taken over the task of purifying the spirits in my territory, and the first month has been done well, and as a token of gratitude, I invite them to visit White Star City to comfort the people who have worked hard, but...... Since the second month, they have almost lived in White Star City, occasionally going out to purify ghosts, but compared to the first month, it is too much worse, and ......"

"Just say what you have!"

"And they go around on credit in White Star City, every meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and singing every night! The most surprising thing is a junior named Ethan......"

"Ethan, supposedly a well-qualified little guy, what's wrong with him?"

"He is shy and introverted on the surface, but he is actually a ...... who likes to kill people In the six months in the north, more than 2,000 people were murdered by him!"

"No way! there would be no such person in the Ringing Chamber!"

"Your Excellency, you may not know that Amon's team of thirteen was intercepted and killed by the Kongming Demonic Beast!"

"What!"

"Just a few days ago, they were ambushed after leaving Blue Road City, and we couldn't find out Ethan's secret, but there is evidence in his space bracelet!

The murder of Amon was discovered by the Archbishop in Blue, and the relics were also in his custody, and he was worried that the Archbishop in White would use these things to hold the Hearing Cabinet accountable directly, and he had not handed them over to the other party, just to give them directly to the Pope for ruling.

A spatial bracelet fell on Jacob's hand, and when he looked at it, the items in it were no different from the others, except that there were more jade talismans for sound transmission.

"Your Excellency the Pope!" the blue-clothed archbishop whispered, "It's those jade talismans!"

Jacob probed into the jade talisman with his divine sense, and was stunned, it recorded the scene of Ethan's murder, all kinds of means, the profligate boy in the picture was a completely different creature, he could hardly imagine how a fifteen-year-old child could combine the evil of the world.

He didn't want to believe it, and wanted to find the flaws, but the images were not fake.

The white-clothed archbishop continued: "Ethan's situation is quite special and cannot be generalized, but there is also some evidence of stealing chickens and dogs in other people's space bracelets!"

The blue-clothed archbishop took out all the spatial bracelets, and Jacob examined them one by one, and there was indeed no evidence as appalling as Ethan, but it was also greatly surprising to him.

The chips of the casino, the jade plate of the green building, and the key of the restaurant...... All of this is to evade the account, it can be regarded as a kind of theft, and there are even a few pagan crystals, the use is not mentioned for the time being, holding this kind of thing is already a felony in itself, but who would dare to convict the people of the Hearing Pavilion?

Patriarch Locke added: "Your Holiness the Pope, you may think that Amon and them are just a special case, a momentary drunken fan, but in the southern cities, the Hearing Court has similar behavior. ”

The blue-clothed archbishop was slightly surprised, as if he didn't know it, and the Locke patriarch sighed: "The archbishop advocates that each person perform his own duties and rule by doing nothing, and all cities should follow suit, but the behavior of the Listening Pavilion is already known to everyone, and even it is a matter of convention, and the city lords of all cities feel that there is no need to report it, and it is normal that you don't know!"

"It seems that my idea is still too ideal after all! When Landowe City recovers, I will step down as Archbishop!"

"Alas!"

Patriarch Locke sighed, but did not hold back, and everyone understood the meaning.

The patriarch of the three noble clans and the white-clothed archbishop slowly said what the Hearing Pavilion had done for more than ten years, and every incident was well-founded, and Jacob's face sank like water, and he was silent.

He really didn't expect that the organization he had been sheltering would become the source of corruption, and these people relied on their names to do evil, in other words, he was an accomplice.

If the patriarch of the three noble clans and the two archbishops were to impeach him just because they couldn't see him favoring the Hearing Pavilion, he would never agree, and he was even ready to suppress it by force.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be truthful and reasonable, and the heavy punch he prepared completely failed.

"I am responsible for the affairs of the Listening Pavilion...... Okay! I'll ...... back."

"I'm late!"

A slow voice sounded, everyone looked at the door on the left, and a kind old man walked in, his face was covered with shallow wrinkles, and his eyes were full of wisdom.

The old man was dressed in a red robe and wore a star crown on his head, and walked in slowly, and the six people in front of the round table got up together, turned to the old man, bowed his hand, and said, "I've seen the cardinal archbishop!"

This is the cardinal archbishop, the oldest archbishop in Xixuan, no one can even tell his age, as if the cardinal archbishop in memory has always been this image, and the feeling has not changed after the generation.

In terms of qualifications, this person is already enough to become the pope, but he never succeeds to the throne, but recommends a virtuous person to the throne, for the Holy Spirit Sect, he is not only an archbishop, but also like a supreme elder of a sect, even the pope does not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.

The Sith patriarch can directly contradict the Pope when he sees it, and he is not afraid of anything, but he can't see the cardinal archbishop, he clearly knows that his first faith initiation lesson was taught by this person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the other party has witnessed the growth of everyone present.

Today, if the cardinal Archbishop is to protect Jacob, they will have to give up.

"You're here to impeach Jacob?"

Only the cardinal archbishop dared to call the Pope by his name, but no one felt inappropriate.

"......Archbishop! I really can't continue to let the Listening Pavilion fall like this!" said the Sith Master in a earnest voice.

"Alas!"

I don't know why, but all three archbishops like to sigh and talk first, or it may be that the white and blue archbishops deliberately imitate the habits of the cardinals.

"Jacob! I've worked hard for you all these years! You have a straight temperament, a tendon, and you are not the material to be a pope, but there was really no suitable candidate at that time! Originally, ...... Forget it, don't mention it!"

The people present were all petrified, and what it meant to point out in public that the current pope was not suitable to be the pope, who knew that Jacob Han smiled and said: "Actually, I know that the original opportunity was prepared for the third senior brother, but ...... He didn't make it to the end, and I didn't mean to take the chance!"

"Alright, the past is over!" the cardinal archbishop looked at the Sith patriarch and said, "Sith boy, who are you going to nominate to succeed you?"

"We ......"

"Let's talk about it first, old man, I'm going to be impossible!"

"We are ready to nominate the Archbishop in White to be the next Pope!"

The cardinal archbishop looked at the white-clothed archbishop with a smile, stroked his beard and said: "The little guy is very suitable for being a leader, but his cultivation is still a little short, a necessary condition for becoming a pope is to reach the peak of the cave void, if you have self-confidence, the old man can help you!"

"Thank you, senior!"
