Chapter 562: Scepter dropped

The galloping cavalry raised the sound of shaking horses hoof on the mountain

road, and it was quickly noticed.

The crowd crowded on the mountain path first became chaotic in the rear. They

were driven by the knights, some rolled down into the weeds beside the

mountain path, and some kept receding and shrinking, and the clamoring scene

suddenly became much quieter.

After all, when facing sharp swords and spear points, people can quickly calm

down.

This group of knights circumscribed from both sides of the mountain road,

constantly driving and opening the way, the team moved forward, and finally

arrived at the main entrance of the Ten Sword Palace, surrounding the crowd

like words.

"Quiet!"

"Quiet!"

As these knights continued to drink, the crowd in the court finally calmed

down.

"Lord Otis?"

"Is he fair to us?"

They whispered, some thought that Otis was the righteous party and would

uphold justice for them, some did not believe in Otis, and more people stood

in place dubiously, following the man in heavy armor. Enter, and slowly

separate.

Otis led a dozen elites behind him and walked slowly to the center of the

crowd.

"Everyone, be quiet."

"I know everyone is angry and uncomfortable."

"But such behavior has disrupted the order of the holy mountain and will not

bring good results."

He calmed the angry crowd, but the effect was not good.

"How can we trust you, can you get justice for us and try Sibis?" an extreme

priest shouted.

Odis looked at the hysterical pastor with his neck and face, and said calmly,

"Everyone believes in me and the church. This matter will definitely give

everyone an explanation."

As the maintainer of the church order, Otis cannot allow the destruction of

order.

He continued to move forward, talking as he walked.

"The Palace of Ten Swords is the law and law enforcement agency in the church.

It should solve everyone's problems. This is an important part of the order in

the church. As the head of the Holy Spear Knights, I have an inescapable role

in maintaining the stability of the church. Responsibility."

Following his words, these people gradually settled down, staring at the

mighty and tall knight with hopeful eyes.

In this way, Odis calmed the crowd all the way, and then came to the front of

the Palace of Ten Swords.

The golden armor guards guarding the Gongmen Mountain Road still did not give

way.

It's not surprising to see this scene of Otis, and all he needs is this

timing.

Become its representative when public opinion is surging, and put pressure on

the Ten Sword Palace. If the Ten Sword Palace still does not respond at this

time, it is tantamount to blatantly violating the order and rules of the

church.

But if Ten Sword Palace responds, whether it is to agree to the wishes of the

people or explain and shirk responsibilities, it will become a stepping stone

for Otis's rise. Its momentum and prestige are naturally lower, and it will

inevitably lose in the subsequent pope election.

After this incident is over, Odis will also become famous in the church and

become a hero in the hearts of many low-level monks.

It would be great if... things really developed as he expected.

The gate of the Ten Swords Palace opened with a creak, and an archbishop

wearing a white robe with gold rims slowly walked out with the support of the

people around.

"Sibis!"

"Is this person Sibis?"

"Is it finally out."

There was a commotion in the crowd, and then under the advancement of the

golden armor guards, he took a step back and made a clearing.

A staff member of the Ten Sword Palace brought a dozen brazier brackets from

the palace, lit the wood and kerosene in the copper basin, and a burst of

burnt smell permeated the cold night, and the reflections were extremely

bright.

"Good evening, fellow followers of angels and gods."

Sibis's voice was not loud, but under the influence of his extraordinary

ability, it spread throughout the mountains and the people below. Thousands of

pairs of eyes stared at the top of the church under the light of fire.

"I'm sorry, I just came out to respond to your requests at this time."

"In the past few years, I have made a lot of mistakes, and many times I have

not taken care of many hard-working colleagues. This is my dereliction of

duty, and I am willing to be punished."

His expression is real and religious, which makes people gradually ignore his

fat body. Then he began to talk about his experience over the years, how he

grew up as a poor boy in the country, and finally grew up as a bishop through

hardships and accepted the scepter to become an archbishop.

His voice is peaceful, but the tone in it is extraordinarily real, and

sometimes he choked slightly when talking about difficult situations, which

made people moved.

"I know this is not good, but I really can't find a better way. If I don't do

this, this position will be taken up by a worse person. I know this is not a

reason to offend myself, as I am The priest of the scepter of the Palace of

Ten Swords should be an example to create a fair and just environment for

everyone."

"So, here I resign from my duty as priest of the Ten Sword Palace and

voluntarily accept the review of the judge."

After finished speaking, his plump body slowly lowered his head, and used his

hands to present the scepter in his hand to others, while the pastor who

followed shed tears.

The scepter was picked up with both hands by the priest of the Ten Sword

Palace, and then placed on the open space in front of the crowd. At this time,

Sibis had nothing in his hands.

Otis looked at Sibis who was acting like this. For some reason, he suddenly

felt cold, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart. How could Sibes admit

defeat so easily, he was not someone who would give up power easily.

When everyone was surprised and the scene was quiet, a woman of about 40 years

old emerged from the crowd.

"No, don't do this, Sir Sibis. You are the savior of our mother and child."

A few more walked out of the crowd, and they wept the respectable archbishop,

saying that he had helped themselves and their family members so that they

could get out of their predicament.

"At that time, I was seriously injured. When I was sent to the church, I

didn’t have much air intake, but Mr. Sibes did not hesitate to do so at any

cost~www.mtlnovel.com~, at great risk, cast a healing spell for me and saved

me. Life. But since then, Master Sibis has also suffered damage and has not

made progress for many years."

"I once owed a gambling debt, and my wife was scattered. It was Master Sibes

who helped me and asked me to re-behave. I can't bear to slander a good person

like this."

"me too......"

These people are not completely unfamiliar outsiders. Some of them are

colleagues or colleagues who are familiar to everyone in the church. They are

not in high positions, and many of them are kind and ordinary people around

them.

When they said this, the noisy crowd was silent and hesitated.

But, this is not over yet.

"Why, why do you slander a good man and an old man so respectable? He

dedicated most of his life to the church and improved the living environment

of so many people. Because of Lord Sibes’s power, the churches everywhere Life

is much richer than before."

"Why can you criticize so righteously!"

"But, what he did before..." some people muttered quietly.

"Which one of your eyes sees, you are listening to others."

"This is just a rumor and slander deliberately spread by others, in order to

force Lord Sibis to step down." An elderly pastor walked out from the side of

the crowd. He didn't say a word in the previous protest. Only then did he come

out to speak.

"Please forgive me for being cowardly, not daring to stand up when Master

Sibes is attacked. At this time, I can no longer remain silent." This gray-

bearded old man is an old pastor who has retired in the church.
