Chapter 562: Prevent

The melodious bell rang three times, marking the end of the morning prayer.

Pope Gregory hurriedly left from the side door of the prayer hall, and walked quickly along the secluded corridor behind the guards.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes looked in the direction of the west wing of the Holy Light Cathedral from time to time, anxious and annoyed.

At the same time, Gregorian is constantly thinking about countermeasures.

The sudden appearance of Cardinal Knopton caught him by surprise, and he had already guessed what the other party wanted to do.

This feeling of being betrayed by his own made Gregorian angry.

But in addition to his anger, he couldn't help but raise a wave of fear.

Since Knopton dared to jump out at this time, it means that the other party is fully prepared.

This also shows that most of the members of the cardinal regiment are already extremely dissatisfied with him.

why?

Don't these people understand the pains and pains of what they did in the north?

Can't they see what the dramatic changes in the East really mean to the church?

Don't you know that at this time, the church should be more consistent with the outside world in order to maintain the authority of the church and not continue to fall?

A group of selfish idiots!



Gregorian, who was immersed in his thoughts, did not notice the strangeness around him, until a voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"Under the crown of the Pope."

Gregorian's heart trembled, and then he came back to his senses.

After learning, Gregorian finally discovered that the guard leading the way was gone, and the corridor was a bit too quiet, even the guards who had been on duty in the past disappeared.

He slowly turned around and saw a graceful female knight standing behind him.

Her beauty is as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at her.

Just standing there, the entire long corridor is shrouded in a solemn and sharp breath, as if a slight struggle will usher in a storm-like blow.

Gregorian suppressed the shock and doubt in his heart, nodded slightly, and smiled:

"Duke Saint-Grian, I didn't expect you to arrive at the Royal Dragon City so soon."

"Oh?" The Duke of St. Grianan raised his eyebrows. "So, you know I will come?"

When Gregorian heard this, he was immediately relieved.

Originally he thought that this was also the arrangement of Knopton, but after thinking about it carefully, because of the contradiction between Knopton and the Duke of Saint-Grian, how could the two of them join forces.

So Gregorian smiled and said, "Yes, I have actually sent Cardinal Knopton to the West. Please come to the Scarlet Flames to mediate this dispute between the church and the North.

However, it seems that you might have come uninvited before Knopton arrived in the west. "

"You send Knopton to the West?" The Duke of St. Grien sneered, his eyes flashed a little sharply, but he quickly receded again, and said, "Well, time is urgent, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. This time I'm here. Scarlet collar, because the army of the orc empire has officially sent troops, so the farce between the church and the north must stop immediately!"

"The orc empire has dispatched troops so soon?" Gregorian was also slightly surprised, and then nodded in response, "In that case, it is indeed time to end this farce."

The Duke of Saint-Grian nodded and said: "I have already met Count Angele, the guardian of the north, in Silver Fox City. He promised that as long as the church promises two conditions, he will not pursue the murder of Duke Saint-Hilde. One thing."

Gregorian shook his head and said firmly: "The two conditions of the Northern Territory are too harsh for the church to agree to."

"Not the first two conditions." The Duke of St. Grien said immediately, "After my efforts to mediate, the Earl of Anglia has promised not to ask you to abdicate, but as long as the northern diocese is independent."

Gregorian's complexion was a little slow, but he still shook his head and said, "It is also impossible for the Northern Diocese to become independent."

"Listen, Gregorian!" The Duke of Saint-Grian's face became solemn, and his tone suddenly became stern, "I have done my best to help you keep the position of the Pope. Do you really think that you can pay no price at all? , Can comfort the northern border?"

Gregorian's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment before he said: "Duke Saint-Grian, are you really willing to keep my pope position?"

"Yes. As long as you promise to let the Northern Diocese be independent, I can swear with the honor of a paladin, no one dares to force you to abdicate!"

Gregorian stared into the eyes of the Duke of Saint-Grian, and said solemnly: "Okay, Duke of Saint-Grian, I believe in your credibility, but I have one last condition."

The Duke of Saint-Grian frowned and was about to scold him, but he heard Gregorian quickly add: "I believe you will be happy to accept this condition."

"Tell me."

"Help me kill Knopton!"

The Duke of St. Grian raised his brows: "Nupton? Didn't he go to the West?"

"No, he did not go, but hid in the Royal Dragon City, secretly uniting the members of the Cardinals, inciting them to impeach me! So, this is not actually a separate condition, because if you want to keep my Pope You must stop Knopton!"

Seeing that the Duke of Saint-Grian still hesitated, Gregorian once again encouraged:

"The Duke of St. Grianan, I know you wanted to kill Knopton a long time ago, and now I just give you such an opportunity! You don't have to worry about any follow-up effects, because I will publicize Knopton's molestation of your brother. Claiming that you are only cleaning up false believers for our Lord who have blasphemed his glory."

Hearing this, the Duke of St. Gerian smiled brightly and said cheerfully: "Okay! A word is for sure!"

"A word is settled!"



In the conference hall, the voting on the impeachment of Gregorian has just ended.

Cardinal Knopton cleared his throat triumphantly and was about to announce the result, but as soon as he spoke, he was stunned to find that he was unable to speak and could only make a strange ho-ho.

In the next second, the severe pain reached the brain, and Knopton hurriedly touched his throat, trying to plug the **** wound.

However, a pair of slender hands grabbed Nopton's hair first and lifted his head.

The members of the cardinals at the meeting looked shocked, as if they could not believe everything in front of them.

Boom!

The Duke of Saint-Griann placed Knopton's head on the table, and smiled slightly:

"Sorry, everyone, I interrupted your meeting.

What were you voting on just now? "

The scene was silent.

After a while, Men Saiyi shivered and shouted:

"Duke St. Grien, you actually killed a cardinal in the Holy Light Cathedral! This is a provocation to our Lord, a provocation to the church, and you will surely become the public enemy of the entire Glory Empire..."

"Okay. UU reading " Duke Saint-Griann waved his hand indifferently, and said, "I killed the blasphemer, Nopton, to help you clean up the dregs in the church. The specific reason is under the title of the Pope. It will be announced soon.

Go ahead. "

After speaking, the Duke of Saint-Griand walked out in a shining manner, as if he had just come here to string a door and say hello.

Mensay's complexion flushed red, but looking at the **** head in front of him, he didn't know what to do.

A member of the Cardinals in the audience asked carefully:

"Master Mensay, the result of the voting just now..."

Mensay sighed with complicated eyes, and said as if finally confessing his fate:

"Just now the voting process was interrupted by... unexpected factors, and the result was invalidated.

Everyone, please vote again. "
