The afterglow of the setting sun sheds a splendid sunset in the western sky.
Colin stood on the top of the holy mountain, and the rays of the sun seemed to give him a sacred halo.
Where he is, it seems to be the center of the world. He is clearly climbing up the steps, but the Cathedral of Holy Light towering on the top of the holy mountain seems to be actively approaching him.
The Templars guarding the church looked at Colin with irresistible awe.
It was not until Colin walked into the door of the church that this vision of time and space disintegrated instantly.
"Mensay, you lied to me!" Ke Lin said coldly, his grand voice seemed to come from above the nine heavens.
Cardinal Mensay stood behind a group of Templars, holding the golden horn tightly in his hands, with a smile on his face, and replied respectfully:
"Count Angele, you misunderstood me. I just helped you achieve your goal ahead of time."
Colin smiled coldly and said:
"Help me? You just help yourself!"
The moment East Spring Town got Prince Harrison to kill Pope Gregory, Colin realized that he had been tricked by Mensay.
The ambitious cardinal also wanted to get rid of Gregory, but he was also wary of Colin.
Of course, Colin did have the idea of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
In the original plan for the Day of Grace, after subduing Gregory, Colin had no intention of returning the golden horn to the church.
He was even prepared to reduce the number of Knights Templar and suppress the power of the Church.
In his conception, even if Mensay succeeded the pope, he would be just a puppet powerless to fight against the nobility. From then on, the church would completely become a tool of faith to assist the nobility in ruling the empire.
But Mensay is clearly aware of it.
Moreover, he is not willing to be only a puppet, a tool.
That's why he would be the first to attack, taking advantage of the information and time differences to catch everyone off guard.
Although Colin was angry, he had to admit that he really underestimated the cardinal.
"Count Angele, I have no intention of becoming an enemy of you." Cardinal Mensay felt the terrifying aura of Colin like a sea, and the golden horn in his hand had been put to his mouth, as if it was about to sound in the next second, " And, trust me, you can't bear the consequences of driving the Church to its knees!"
"Really?" Colin sneered, "Is that the golden horn? Can it really summon angels?"
"You wouldn't want to know." Cardinal Mensay said coldly.
"No, I really want to know." Colin's face was full of jokes, "It's not just me, all the devout followers of the Radiant Empire want to know, whether the omniscient and omnipresent Supreme Lord will respond to His in the world. The call of the spokesperson."
After saying this, Colin took a step forward.
Bang!
The entire Holy Light Cathedral trembled.
The Templars surrounding Mensay drew out their long swords at their waists, and pointed their swords directly at Colin.
But Colin turned a blind eye to it and took another step.
Bang!
This step seems to have stepped on the hearts of everyone in the church.
Bang!
Colin went a step further.
The Knights Templar took a step back.
Bang!
Colin moved forward again.
Mensay's hand holding the golden horn began to tremble, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed like a waterfall.
But even so, he still did not sound the golden horn.
Bang!
Seeing that Ke Lin took a step further, Mensay finally couldn't bear such mental pressure, and said softly:
"Count Angele! What conditions do you have, you can put forward..."
Hearing this sentence, Colin finally stopped moving forward with a smug smile on his face.
He knew he was right.
Either the Golden Horn was a hoax, or the cost of using it was so great that Mensay would rather bow to Colin than use it lightly.
That being the case, Colin had a bottom line in his heart.
"Where's Prince Harrison?"
"His Royal Highness is resting in the side hall. As long as you are willing to cooperate, you can naturally take him away."
"What about the remains of Marquis Garcia?"
"It's been buried."
"Okay." Seeing Mensay's cooperation, Colin's expression softened a little, "I want you to publicly declare Gregory a blasphemer and expose all his past scandals."
Mensay hesitated for a moment, then advised:
"Count Angele, even if I declare Gregory a blasphemer, Prince Harrison can't be forgiven. After all, even the Emperor of the Empire has no right to judge or even kill the spokesperson of the Supreme Lord in the world..."
"You don't have to worry about that. You just announce it as I say."
Mensay looked at Colin's indifferent gaze, and finally nodded with difficulty, saying:
"Okay."
"And the heir to the throne..."
"On this point, I unconditionally support your opinion!" Mensay said decisively, with a surprisingly good attitude, and even reminded him intimately, "However, Count Angele, the situation in Yulong City is complicated now, who should If you come to succeed the throne, I'm afraid it may not be as you wish..."
"You don't have to worry about it." Colin said confidently.
At the same time, he stopped moving forward, and the aura around him also converged.
This time, he had a complete insight into the weakness of the church, and he also found out about Mensay's character.
This person seems to be ruthless and difficult to deal with, but in fact, his heart is weak and he does not have the courage to fight to the death.
That being the case, as long as he doesn't drive him to a dead end, he is a person who is easier to control than Gregory.
Colin actually had no idea whether the golden horn could summon the angels, so when he saw that Mensay was submissive, he stopped persecuting him.
In order to stabilize the situation in the Radiance Empire, he still needs to teach this ally.
But when he frees up his hands, he will still come back to deal with the church, and he will also make Mensay pay the price for his previous deception!
Mensay didn't know what Colin was thinking at this time. He felt the mountain-like aura gradually dissipating, and he was greatly relieved.
Just as Colin needed his help, he also needed Colin's support at this time.
After all, he is only the Pope's first-in-line heir, and he has not really become the Pope.
Mensay has no idea whether the golden horn can summon angels, but he knows that the most terrifying deterrent is always when the weapon is not sheathed. Once the golden horn is used, the church's trump card will be lifted. If you can't subdue the enemy—
That would be a disaster for the church.
What's more, he also knows that the backlash that UU reading needs to bear to use the golden horn will most likely cost him his life...
Therefore, at this time, he only wanted to appease Colin and reach an alliance with him.
"Count Angele, please wait a moment. I will send someone to invite Prince Harrison and Marquis Garcia's body. I will also arrange for someone to send them down the mountain."
"And Gregory's body."
Mensay frowned and hesitated: "Count Angele, as the Pope, Gregory will be buried in the Holy Sepulchre after his death..."
"Is he worthy?" Colin's eyes narrowed and he said disdainfully.
Mensay and Colin looked at each other for a moment, and finally nodded and said:
"Okay, as you wish."
