The night was dark, but the Cathedral of Holy Light was as bright as day.
The beam of holy light that fell from the sky made darkness never have a foothold here.
It's just that in such a solemn and sacred place, the atmosphere tonight is not solemn.
"Fight back! We must fight back! Otherwise, what's the face of the church? Where's the prestige?"
"That's right! We must let those **** nobles know that their authority comes from the Supreme Lord!"
"Yes, if we do nothing, doesn't that admit that the emperor of the empire does not need the coronation of the church? Does it not admit that the monarchical authority is above the divine authority?"
…
Pope Mensay stood in front of the statue of the Lord of Glory with a blank face, listening to the stern accusations of the surrounding church executives, but said nothing.
If you look closely, you will find that the Pope's eyes are out of focus, and he probably doesn't know where his mind has wandered.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
After a long while without getting a response from the Pope, Cardinal Kondar finally couldn't help shouting.
Mensay came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said lightly:
"What's up?"
Kondar hated iron and said:
"Your Majesty, are you really going to do nothing? Are you going to let Colin St. Chapman act like this?
Now this person has unprecedented hostility and threats to the church, we must fight back! "
"How to fight back?" Mensay asked blankly. .
"Of course it's by means of thunder!" Kondar gritted his teeth and said, "Just like we dealt with the St. Chapman family three hundred years ago!"
"Three hundred years ago?" Mensay twitched the corners of his mouth and pulled out an ugly smile, "Do you think it is still three hundred years ago? Or do you think the Duke of St. Chapman three hundred years ago is the same as the current St. Duke Chapman is comparable?
The Duke of St. Chapman was not a paladin, nor did he have the prestige to command the battle of the Loire Valley, nor did he control the most elite army of the empire!
Tell me, facing Colin St. Chapman, even if we dispatch the Knights Templar, can we really strangle him? "
Condal did not back down, but said coldly:
"Your Majesty, is there really no way we can deal with Colin St. Chapman? Don't forget the golden horn!"
Mensay's eyes flashed, his face suddenly gloomy:
"The golden horn? Are you sure it's really useful?"
"Your Majesty, do you have no confidence in my lord?" Kondar asked a question that made Mensay speechless.
Mensay stared at Kondar, killing intent in his heart.
"This matter is too involved, so we have to think about it from a long-term perspective! What's more, the orcs are still lingering in the Western Region, so it's really not a good time to provoke infighting."
After speaking, Mensay turned around and walked out, not giving Condal a chance to speak.
It's just that the back of his embarrassed departure fell into the eyes of the church executives, which immediately caused a lot of discussion.
Kandal watched this scene with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
After leaving the prayer hall, Mensay went up the spiral staircase and walked towards the Pope's exclusive room at the top of the tower.
Entering the room and closing the door, Mensay's image that he had been struggling to maintain collapsed, and all kinds of vicious curses poured out of his mouth.
After venting for a while, Mensay calmed down again.
He took off the golden priest's robe and threw his tired body on the soft leather sofa.
"Your Majesty Mensay."
The sudden sound in the room startled Mensay.
Gu Ti </span> He had to bounce off the sofa, and when he turned around, he saw that there was already a person sitting at the round table.
"Who are you? When did you come in?"
Mensay's tone was inevitably trembling. After all, in the heavily guarded Holy Light Cathedral, it is impossible for ordinary people to come and go freely, unless...
It's a sanctuary!
Mensay almost thought it was Colin St. Chapman who came to assassinate him.
But when he saw the face of the person who came, he realized that it was not.
Moreover, he always felt that this person's face was a little familiar, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere...
"Your Majesty Mensay, you really don't remember me?"
"You..." Mensay stared at the man's face, and a name suddenly flashed in his mind, "You are... Kurd? No, impossible!"
"Yeah! It's me, it's rare for you to remember!" The Kurdish mage laughed, got up and came to Mensay, opening his arms as if to hug his old friend.
But Mensay seemed to have seen a ghost, shaking his head and saying, "Impossible, impossible..." and kept stepping back.
The Kurdish mage was somewhat dissatisfied with Mensay's response, shook his head and sighed:
"Mensay, don't you understand? In the hands of a powerful mage, what is impossible? My students can kill and occupy a paladin, why can't I be rejuvenated?"
"Rejuvenation?" Mensay's tone finally changed.
"That's right." The Kurdish mage poured himself a glass of water and said while drinking, "This world is getting more and more boring, and I miss my old friends more and more. Mensay, do you want to join us?"
"to join you guys?"
"Yes. I have mastered the secret method of rejuvenation, and I want to share with some old friends. Many old friends in the Eastern Region have chosen to join. How about it, Mensay, do you want to join?"
"You caused the accident in the Eastern Region?"
"Yes. How can the Duke of the Eastland let a young stinking kid do the job? The world still needs us mature and wise old guys. Besides, I heard that you have encountered a lot of trouble recently..."
Mensay felt his heart pounding, but he forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice:
"Kurd, what's your purpose in doing this?"
"My purpose... Hehe, don't you know?"
Mensay clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:
"It's impossible for me to cooperate with a blasphemer like you..."
"A blasphemer?" Kurd smiled disdainfully, "As the Pope, don't you know what a **** is? Why continue to deceive yourself.
Of course, if you are stubborn and unwilling to accept my help, then I will find someone else.
For example, Cardinal Condal, he must be willing to cooperate with me..."
"How did you achieve rejuvenation? Is it a sacrifice again?" Mensay asked in a deep voice, and there was already something in his words.
"Of course not." Kurd shook his head. "It just needs a strong heart and some simple arcane materials."
"A strong heart?"
"Okay, you won't understand the specific details of the secret method. However, with a living example like me standing in front of you, what else do you have to question?
Cooperate with me, I will not only rejuvenate you, but also help you solve your biggest enemy! "
Mensay bowed his head in silence, and it could be seen that he was experiencing extreme struggle in his heart.
The Kurdish mage waited for a while, seemed to lose patience, and turned around and said:
"Since you still need time to think about it, then I'll go first..."
"etc!"
