Chapter 569 Benedict III's Goal (Second Update Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The members of the Cardinal Order prostrating in the Great Light Hall, in addition to the Holy Spirit Priest, the Holy Knight and other legendary powerhouses, there are also eight or nine clergy who are only level nine, they are also cardinals, they are favored by the Pope and the legendary powerhouses, and are expected to be promoted to the Holy Spirit or the Holy Spirit.
When Anastasia solemnly announced that he was Benedict III, listening to the beautiful hymn and feeling the warm and peaceful light, Cardinal Philip of the ninth degree only felt that his mind was clear, forgetting that there were other things in the world.
A six-winged angelic phantom flew out of it and merged into Philip's heart of faith, causing Philip's soul to show signs of ascension.
In the Great Light Hall, Philip, who was prostrate on the ground, was dyed with a layer of milky white light that flowed slowly and never stopped, and his breath quickly increased, making the surroundings holy and clear.
When Benedict III saw this scene, a sincere smile appeared on his face: "This is the gift of the Lord, we have another brother, and we have another companion who purifies evil!"
Melmos and others understood that Philip, who had accumulated for a long time, finally "saw" the projection of Heaven Mount in his heart when the "voice of the Lord" came just now, and was promoted to the priest of the Holy Spirit.
In the light, Philip's soul gradually became clear inside and out, he raised his head, his eyes were joyful and pure, and he drew a cross on his chest: "Only the truth endures."
"Welcome to fellows, may our efforts make the Lord's word walk on earth as we walk in His kingdom." St. Melmos, head of the Knights Templar, St. Mary, Cardinal, and St. Otin, leader of the ascetics, led the rest of the cardinal order to express their congratulations.
Benedict III himself had only slightly grayed hair, and at this time there were many more silver strands, and he said calmly: "The Lord's favor has never diminished, and no matter what crisis, we can finally get through it."
"Melmos, you previously gave Otin the task of finding Terrance and others, leading a member of the Cardinal Order and some ascetics to Alto to assist Philippe and Beria, Danissos was a little restless; Mary, you lead the two members of the Cardinal Conference to the north to deter and prevent heresy from invading the south; Katie, you bring two members of the Cardinal Order to Stewart to set up the Storm Strait Defense, and you must fully mobilize the help of the Epic Knights from all over the world." Katie is another female saint.
Without the guards of the Four Kingdoms of the Strait and the Northern Land Coastal Corridor, coupled with the assistance of the Epic Knights, the Church's legendary manpower was still able to be arranged, so as not to lose too much Xenoplane space and territory.
Melmos agreed with this, although in this way, the legendary powerhouses of the Church were concentrated in the Duchy of Vauriet, the Northern Province of the Holy Helz Empire, Stewart and several important xenoplane spaces, leaving the holy city of Reims and the central area very empty, but with the Pope's crown, the king of angels, and the newly promoted Philip, it would not be a successful raid.
When the situation calms down, it can return to the past situation, leaving only one or two legendary cardinal members in the Principality of Waorit, the Kingdom of Syracuse, the Northern Provinces, Stewart and other places to guard with the cooperation of local epic knights.
After thinking for a while, Melmos asked: "Your Majesty, Archduke Vaorit, how should we deal with the Violet family?"
Benedict III shook his head: "This is Natasha's personal move, there is no problem involving the Grand Duke of Vaulite, but if this hits the entire Violet family, it will easily cause instability in the hearts of the nobles and be not conducive to the current situation.
"Follow your will." Melmos did not object, and he did not want to see the family with the title of "Shield of Truth" completely abandon the Southern Church like the "Sword of Truth" family, which would cause panic.
As Benedict III issued orders and members of the Cardinal Conference rushed to various places, the Southern Church gradually stabilized due to the loss of the area across the Storm Strait, the fall of four legends, the loss of three Holy Spirits, and the defection of six epic knights.
With the three legends of Philipbel, Milton, and Beria relying on the defense of the Northern Fortress and the Alto Divine Circle, although Danissus is at the peak of the legend, he cannot quickly win on his own dragon - there are also contradictions and differences within the dragon race, and many of them are in xeno space or sleeping, and Dracula found traces of a werewolf prince and went to hunt it down, leaving nothing to worry about the church's affairs.
After Ines and the other two Holy Spirit pastors returned to Reims, and "Angel of Wisdom" Terrance defected to the Northern Church, the aftermath of the Magic Council's "Mushroom Cloud" project seemed to have gradually subsided.
…………
After Benedict III returned to the study of the previous pope, he waved his hand for several cardinals to walk out, and he sat quietly in the back chair, looking at the newly added portrait:
"Benedict II, 602-824 AD".
Suddenly, his face turned pale again, his left and right hands trembled uncontrollably, and his breath dropped sharply, from a god-like to the level of the first level of the Holy Spirit, and then slowly climbed back to the god-like level, and after a few times, his breath gradually stabilized, but his hair seemed to be much grayer again, and his eyes were even more old and cloudy.
"'Divine Grace' is really unbearable......" he sighed softly.
After recovering, Benedict III's eyes looked at the room where the "King of Angels" Mecantron was, and it seemed that he could see him directly through the many magic circles and walls.
Mecantron, who was holy and beautiful like a woman, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her long golden hair much darker.
He was injured a lot by the shattering backlash of the eternal sun and the "heaven on earth", coughing softly from time to time, spitting out golden blood that was as thick as a mass of energy, and his pupils seemed to be a little dilated.
However, such an injury did not hurt the "King of Angels" at all, and he was getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Benedict III withdrew his gaze, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he stood up, walked to the important filing cabinet protected by the Terror Divine Array, found a column named "Douglas", took out a lot of documents from it, and read it again:
"The target person doesn't seem to reject my speech." ...... "He often has times when he is emotionally confused...... "Maybe he is a little shaken." ……
"——Altil"
Benedict III looked at these documents, and took out a report on "Latest Arcane Theory Progress" from the "Magic Council" column, carefully understood the description of special relativity in it, and whispered:
"Although there is no Altil by his side, it can be seen that his sports system has encountered a big problem, maybe he has more time to be confused than before, maybe I should find a chance to talk to him......"
…………
Holy Helz Empire, Antifleur.
In the palace, Rudolf II, who was sitting in the prayer room, suddenly raised his head, and the dreamy wings behind him slowly unfolded, a full eighteen pairs.
Retracting his emotions, Rudolf II closed his eyes, and his whole breath suddenly became ethereal and ethereal.
…………
In the solidified necromancer world without sound and unnecessary color, Rhein's bright red coat was extremely eye-catching.
He walked in the chaotic projection of the city of Rentat, and said to himself solemnly: "Where did the remnants of Sald's body escape......"
…………
After Lucian left the "Thunder Hell", he returned to the Atomic Research Institute and saw Lazar, Annick and others looking frightened and happy.
"Teacher, why did you suddenly go to war with the church?" Under the energy storm of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" just now, Alinge, the city in the sky that had lost most of its power, was blown back and forth, like a spinning ball that kept going up and down in the sky, which made Heidi and the others taste even more terrifying than when they crossed the Storm Strait by boat, vomiting pale and weak in tone.
Lucian smiled and said: "Of course this kind of thing must be kept secret, there are many spies in the council."
Splinter and their family had already received Alinge and had no worries, so after they calmed down, they all smiled and said that they could finally travel to Rentat City, the Four Countries of the Straits, the Northern Land Coastal Corridor and other places - as Lucian's students, they were implicated by the reputation of the teacher being too big and not strong enough to support it, and they did not dare to leave Alinge before the Third Ring.
Then, Heidi, Katrina, and other students and assistants asked about the situation of the legendary battle just now, and Lucian told the truth about some of the things he knew.
"Teacher, have you also killed many eighth or ninth level clergy? Will there be a cardinal?" Katrina had a lot of confidence in her teacher, he was a man who could escape from being chased by a demigod lich, and he only had six rings at that time!
Lucian shook his head: "How could I intervene in the official legendary battle, I just went to Nexer Palace to help Natasha."
Even if the plan was formulated, he didn't have much effort, just notified the Supreme Council of the news that Natasha was able to directly contact the Pope and that he had transformed the Nexer Palace Divine Array, so the group of old foxes quickly formulated Plan 3.
On the contrary, Natasha's speech to persuade the nobles came from herself, and on the premise that she retained the veto power and the right to collect taxes on the nobles, she had the Magic Council as her backer, and she did not make much concessions. The speech just looked shocking, and it was easy to bluff people at that time.
"Teacher, you will soon become a legend." Cherie, who had been helped by Lucian, happily complimented.
Lucian didn't say much, there were still many things to deal with, so he crossed them and entered his office.
"Leilya, did you see that the teacher has an extra iron ring on his left hand? Hey, maybe he's going to get out of singleness." Heidi's eyes were sharp and gossipy.
Only then did Leilia wake up: "The Holm crown ring 'element' on the teacher's right hand is also missing, hey, sure enough, good men are easy to be picked out first, it's really enviable."
The ladies quickly cheered up, exerting the spirit of gossip and chattering non-stop.
…………
In the "True Secret Realm", Douglas received a report from Tower Ling, saying that Franks, a member of the Affairs Committee and the archmage of the Nine Rings, had come to visit.
Franks was an ancient inheritance magician who followed Douglas to establish the Magic Council and had a good relationship with him, so Douglas ordered Tower Ling to check and let him in.
