A flash of lightning tore through the sky, and the thunder bursting in the
mountains, heavy raindrops rushed to fall, hitting the dome, eaves, windows,
tree crowns, and the ground.
Heavy rain pours from the sky, and the thick rain is like a hard city wall.
A bunch of water splashes splashed on the ground, and the dense sound covered
everything. The mud splashed with the rain, and the air smelled of earthy
smell.
Although it is so noisy, it suddenly makes people feel a touch of tranquility.
The headquarters of the Knights of the Holy Spear.
It was raining heavily outside the window, and the raindrops splashed on the
windowsill, and the tiny drops of water were blown into the room like fog,
making people feel a little cool.
Six people are sitting at the table in the Hall of Knights. Among them, Otis
is at the top, and there are three on each side, and Ferreira is among them.
"Is there any news from Ten Sword Palace recently?" Odis asked.
"No, Sibis stayed in it all the time, never went out, and did not respond to
what happened the other day." A Qianqi chief replied.
"It seems that he is going to let this matter dry, wait for the heat to pass,
and then deal with it slowly." A knight analyzed this way.
"But wouldn't this affect its reputation?" said a certain Qianqi chief.
"Maybe people don't care. Sibes has been operating in the church for many
years, relying on the relationship of students, colleagues, and seniors to
weave a luxuriant network of interests. These allies will not change because
of this small incident and damage to their reputation. Standpoint. And it is
not ordinary monks and nuns who really vote in the general election, but those
bishops and senior leaders of the Zodiac who hold authority."
"That would be a little bad for us. I expected him to do something." A certain
Qianqichang sighed.
"Perhaps he himself realized that no matter what he said at this time, his
explanation was wrong."
There are many thousand horses in the Knights of the Holy Spear, but it is
really Odis’s confidant, and there are only a few people in front of him. If
Sybis is the kind of business model that casts a wide net and makes more
layouts, then Otis is just a few ** supporters who focus on few and fine.
These thousands of riders and his subordinates are the kind of people who can
really be born and die for them, and he is particularly relieved.
The pope election will begin at the beginning of next month. Among them are
the bishops of various churches, the senior leaders of the Zodiac, and the
captains of the three thousand-man team of the three knights who have voting
rights.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the adjudication division does not have
the right to vote. This is a restriction and a protection. They will supervise
the general election process and do not have to stand in line for this.
In terms of the number of votes, the bishops of the churches in various places
accounted for about 70% of the votes, while the Zodiac was about 20%, and the
three knights accounted for 10%. Although the bishops occupy a large total,
the factions are scattered and unclear. They are more or less connected to the
twelfth house in the church. They know the current situation, but their
position is not firm.
"However, it is not completely ineffective. At least recently, many bishops
from other places have visited the head of the delegation to reconsider the
future voting."
Several of them talked about the recent situation.
"How is Beines's side?" Otis asked suddenly.
"Archbishop Beines has stayed in Aquarius Palace recently, as usual, without
any special actions. However, something interesting happened the other day."
"Oh, what's the matter." Several other people were also interested.
"It is said that it was a member of the Adjudication Division who had just
joined the job. She wanted to enter the inner palace and was stopped by
guards. Then she took out the Adjudication Division badge."
"Haha, it's really interesting, I guess she is not very old, and I don't know
what it means yet."
"People in the adjudication department generally don't easily display the
badges. Once they are displayed, they must have real evidence and are ready to
kill."
"I guess those guards were also very angry and funny, and later because she
was young, she didn't pursue it specifically."
"What happened after that?"
"After that? It seems that the nun was pulled into the inner palace and gave a
good lecture before releasing it."
"However, thanks to this incident, many people have secretly guessed whether
Beines had something wrong, and that he would be approached by the
adjudication division. This is not a good sign."
"But it's a good sign for us. Originally, Beines has a low qualification.
Although she has the strength of Sequence 9, she is not stable after being
promoted for a few years. This way, it makes me feel at ease to deal with the
West. Bis."
"Compared to pure Beines, the cunning Sibes is much more difficult to deal
with. He will be the biggest obstacle for Otis Lords to run for the pope."
Several knight commanders analyzed the current primary goal.
"However, he has responded negatively recently, so we have no good solutions
for a while."
"Let's do this." A knight commander raised his hand. This person is Farrela,
the Qianqi commander who recommended himself to Otis some time ago.
"If the fire is not big enough, then add another fire. At that time, it will
form a monstrous public opinion, let's see which bishop dares to stand on the
side of Sibes." He said slowly, and then squeezed the palm of the steel hand
armor.
————
A few days later, there were more bad rumors about Sibes in the holy mountain.
Some said he was raising a child, some said he bullied widows, some said he
suppressed the former teacher, and some said he cheated during the assessment
of the pastor. Wait.
The lifelike descriptions of these rumors have aroused all kinds of attention
in the ordinary churches. Even these clergymen who cultivate their hearts
sometimes can't help but discuss in a low voice after a meal, and their scope
is getting more and more spread. Wide, even began to spread from the
headquarters to various branches.
"Hey, have you heard about something about Archbishop Sibes recently." After
finishing their work, two young monks sat on the rock to rest, and one of them
suddenly talked about the latest news.
"Which one are you talking about? I have heard a lot of news recently. I
didn't expect that the big man above would be of this kind."
"Haha, who isn't, but he has been exposed recently. In my opinion, there are
probably quite a few bishops doing this kind of behavior."
Although these rumors describe many details, most of them are past events of
the year. The parties and deeds are hidden in time. Even if Sibes himself
defends, it is very difficult. And the general public don't care whether it is
true or not, they only care about whether it is interesting or not.
————
The Palace of Ten Swords, the Inner Palace of Flowing Water.
Sibis was still sitting on the bench by the water, eating sweet and crisp
berries, listening to the people below to report various recent rumors.
"Hehe, it's really interesting." His fat and white face didn't see an angry
expression, but rather mocked.
"If Odis makes an armed raid and catches me first and then interrogates me,
I'm still a little worried. But now, it's funny that I want to bring me down
based on these."
It is like a knight who is good at using a spear suddenly changes his career.
He wants to use words to make people collapse and yield, abandon his own
strengths, and use his shortcomings to fight against the experienced opponent.
Sibes called in two attendants, told them in their ears and told them to leave
the palace.
A few days later, various rumors and rumors about Sibis became more and more
bizarre. From the beginning, he messed around with men and women, and later he
coerced the queen of a certain family and let his child replace the prince.
Later, it was even reported that even the extraordinary power of Sequence 8
was faked, using some extraordinary creation to impersonate and so on.
There was another incident recently. He said that he deliberately drove the
same pastor and classmates who had entered the Lam Yeh Palace to a remote
church in the mountains. He had struggled for decades to survive. The genius
of the year still stays in Sequence 3, which is embarrassing.
At the same time, more and more people began to chant, demanding that the
adjudication department thoroughly investigate Sibis, suspend him in custody,
and deprive him of all rights.
At this time, more people began to shout and march in the holy mountain, and
their scale was larger than before.
Inside the Aquarius Palace, the bedroom is slanted by the setting sun.
The golden afterglow fell on the white sheets, covering the half of a silver-
haired girl.
Lorrain Hill was sitting on the head of the bed, spread out the clothes that
had just been collected from the outside, and then slowly folded them and
placed them neatly on the head of the bed.

After a while, the door suddenly opened.
"Luo Xier."
Boli rushed in happily. She grabbed the silver-haired girl's hand and said
excitedly: "Don't fold your clothes, let's go out and have a look. There is
something serious about the holy mountain today."
"What's the matter." Although Lorrain Hill replied, he still folded the nun's
dress in his hand before standing up.
"A major event has happened. Many people are walking towards the Palace of Ten
Swords with torches. It is said that they are seeking justice and defeating
the evil archbishop Sibis."
As she talked, she pulled the girl out and walked towards the mountain road.
It's getting late. The sun has set, only the blue-purple sunset is still faint
in the sky.
The mountain path under the Aquarius Palace was crowded with people. They were
noisy and boiling. Many people held torches to light up the surrounding area,
and then slowly moved forward with the flow of people. It seemed that there
were at least a few thousand people.
"Remove Sibis' position!"
"He is not worthy!"
"Little man!"
"The scum of the church!"
Some of them looked resentful and yelled loudly, while others were full of
excitement and curiosity, following behind, ready to see how the matter ended.
"Let's follow along, too." Boli is not afraid of heights in a typical theater.
"Don't get too close, we can just look at it from a distance." Lorrain Hill
shook her head, she felt that things were not easy tonight.
"Well, I will listen to the Chief Master."
"I just remembered that I was the head of the academy at this time." Lorrain
Hill touched Boli's head a little bit irritably. The school girl seemed to be
a lot more lively recently.
After talking to Boli for a few words, she turned her gaze to the distance
again, which was the direction of the Ten Sword Palace, and it was dim at this
time, as usual.
---------
The crowd on the mountain path is like a fire dragon, swimming forward slowly
in the night, and it is getting thicker and longer.
During the time when the pope was not elected, the church seemed like a group
of dragons without a leader, and people from all walks of life were also bold.
With their intentional or unintentional promotion, more and more people
participated in this incident.
Hearing the noise outside, bishops from various places participating in the
election meeting also walked out of their residences, overlooking the long
flame dragon from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
"Would you like to go down and have a look, sir." An accompanying priest asked
the elderly bishop in front of him.
"Let's go, let's take a look, and see how Sibis explains." After speaking, the
bishop, who is nearly 70 years old, also set foot on the path among the
mountains with the support of the pastor on the side.
Outside the chant palace, several priests in white robes also looked at the
lights in the distance.
"It's amazing, this time." said a woman with light red hair like sunset.
"Let everyone laugh." Another blonde woman responded, holding a scepter with
feathers and musical notes in her hand.
“I’m sorry, I’m sure we won’t laugh at you because of this.” The woman with
red hair said so, and then she giggled again.
"Among our sisters together, you now have the highest position and
transcendent level. I am still in Sequence 7."
"Zhu Ya is begging for a fight again, how do you make us these Sequence 6s
live." The women next to her also followed suit.
Although they are not young, these women used to study together in the sacred
mountain. Their relationship has always been very good. They will come here
every two years. This time they are just in time for the Pope’s election, and
Elise is now the hymn The scepter priest of the palace.
"Is Juya still the bishop of Hopeland?" asked a black-haired woman next to
her.
"Yes, life there has been pretty stable, except for the previous few years."
Zhu Ya responded.
"That time it was a lot of trouble. I heard that several large chambers of
commerce in Hopeland were shopping. The fire burned, the ship bombed, and the
golem swept across the entire city. Later, Frost Rose returned An airship was
sent to help out."
"Well, but the right and wrong are also very complicated. Alas, I used to
watch the children grow up, and then there is only one left." Zhu Ya seemed to
think of something, a little sigh.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go and see, maybe the church will
change the sky this time." After Zhu Ya finished speaking, she pulled a few
people behind and jumped off the cliff, and then several golden ones. The ball
of light rose from the night and floated directly in the direction of the
Palace of Ten Swords.
In the Palace of Ten Swords, the Inner Palace of Flowing Water.
At this moment, rows of golden armored guards have gathered and stood in the
courtyard of the palace. They are armed with prismatic shields and dark gold
spears, and long swords are hung around their waists~www.mtlnovel.com~ The
number of people is about 3,000.
"Master Sibis, I have adjusted the guards, please give your order." A guard
captain reported in a loud voice with a solemn expression.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let the 2,000 people divide into teams to
protect the Shijian Palace, and the other 1,000 people will stay in the
courtyard and support at any time."
"Don't hurt those who go up the mountain. I know it's difficult, but you have
to do it well. If you get hurt tonight, I will send someone to treat and take
care of you. You don't have to worry."
"I am optimistic about you." After speaking, he said the names of the
captains, and then patted his shoulder to make him feel at ease.
A few people responded loudly, and then walked out quickly, leading a group of
people in the Ten Sword Palace to deploy, among which more than 300 priests
participated, healed these guards at any time, and even opened the isolation
barrier.
After seeing these people dispersed, Sibes patted the huge seat under him, and
then the four guards lifted it up together in a posture as if the East was
lifting a sedan chair, and sent the archbishop to the high platform inside the
main entrance of the Ten Sword Palace. .
Sibis looked at the few people on the lower side and saw that everything was
arranged. He nodded slightly, then sat in the chair and closed his eyes to
rest, and stopped talking.
He had anticipated what would happen tonight, and now it is the most critical
moment.
Just let me see, I want to see how Odis you are going to defeat me, if you
can’t kill me today, then I will make you regret it for a lifetime and suffer
all the torture.
Under the Palace of Ten Swords, the turbulent crowd moved slowly, and on both
sides of the mountain road were also full of people from all sides who had
been waiting for a long time. They waited quietly, preparing to see how the
farce of tonight will end.
