Chapter 652: Papal Race: Crane Clam Fights

"Now, then, according to the dogma of the Holy Light Cult, we will vote to elect a member who was originally in the core of the Holy Light Cult to become the new Pope, and at the same time, I invite members who want to participate in the papal race to come forward and stand beside me." As the words of the dean of the council fell, all the bishops and high priests present began to stir, and a few of them even moved their bodies forward a few meters.

However, at this moment, a figure passed through the sea of people, moving forward at a speed that seemed slow but was actually very fast, and all the illusion was caused by the fact that after seeing the figure of the person in front of them, both their breathing and thinking began to gradually solidify: compared to the other bishops and high priests who were dressed in snow-white and gold-rimmed clothes, the man in front of him, who actually looked like a young man, was dressed in black and had a huge one in front of him and behind him. The robe of the cross is a miserable white color, and even the shoes on his feet and hands are pure black leather shoes and leather gloves.

It stands to reason that this guy who is completely contrary to the clothes of everyone present should be spurned by everyone present, or even killed directly as a heretic, after all, wearing a set of dark clothes that can be said to be incompatible with the Holy Light in such a sacred Basilica of the Holy Light, and it is also the darkest pure black clothing in the dark, as long as anyone dares to quibble, this can be said to be a blasphemy against the Holy Light.

But even under such circumstances, everyone present did not dare to make a sound. At the same time, the high-ranking of the Holy Light Sect dressed in pure black, whether it was the high priest or those bishops, was very interested in giving him a way to the front of the dean, as for the bishops who were about to move before, they all moved their bodies to the crowd one by one, hoping that the young man in pure black clothes did not see what he had just moved.

"Boom." After swallowing his saliva, the president of the council immediately stepped forward and trotted forward. As soon as the black-robed man had walked up the steps, he came up to him and said, "Director of the Inquisition, are you going to participate in this contest for the papal throne?" ”

Looking at the old man in front of him with a flattering look on his face, a look of disdain flashed on the face of Baidelan standing in front of him, and he said to him in an indifferent tone: "Didn't you say that as long as you are a member of the core class of the Holy Light Sect, you can participate in this competition?" As the head of the Religious Inquisition, I should be considered a member of the core class of the Holy Light Sect, right? How? Are you trying to say that I, who do not belong to the core of the Holy Light Sect Leader's system, do not have the right to compete for the papal position? ”

"How so? You have that power. Padrán's words directly frightened the old man into a cold sweat, and directly stepped out of the aisle where he was standing and said to Padrán: "Then the head of the Inquisition, please stand up for a while and wait for the results of everyone's vote." ”

"Hmm." After Padran nodded and walked behind him, the president of the council stepped forward and said to the people in front of him while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, "......... Doesn't seem like there's anyone who wants to run for the pope again, right? In that case, I think I should be able to announce it now........."

"Wait a minute, I want to try it too." Just as the president of the council wanted to finish his words quickly, a middle-aged man's voice sounded in the main hall, which not only made the old man on the high platform of the main hall and the people around him show a look of surprise. It also made everyone present, including the Dean of the Council who had been interrupted, turn their eyes to the source of the voice, except of course the young director of the Inquisition, who was walking towards the high platform of the Great Hall, for he had only stopped his pace and had not even had time to breathe, and continued to move forward after thinking of who the voice was initiating.

At the same time. Badback, who was dressed in a battle uniform but not wearing a weapon, walked up to the dean of the council under the gaze and gave way to everyone, and said to him with a smile: "As the chief of the Knights of the Cathars, I am a rough man. But my faith in the Light is unwavering. And I'm a member of the core of the Holy Light Cult in terms of rank, so I'm going to try it out this time. ”

"You're sure." The President of the Council pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"I'm sure." Badbuck smiled confidently, and at the same time began to turn up the volume of his voice so that everyone present could hear him and said to the Dean of the Council, "By the way, the Dean of the Council, you know that those Knights Cathar in Dao City are all my people, and before they came to the Cathedral of Light. One of my men had reported to me a piece of information. ”

"Oh? What is the intelligence? The dean's face turned strange, because he didn't know what the guy in front of him was planning.

"That's right, weren't the two Archbishops of the Holy Light killed by the assassins before? As for this matter, as the guardian knight guarding the Holy Light City, of course, he has to find out all the ins and outs, although judging from the previous situation. It seems that the Assassins have all disposed of their tails, and the bodies of the assassins have either been reduced to pieces or turned into a pool of poisonous water, but fortunately, our careful Knights Cathars, with their unremitting efforts, have found some clues, and these clues indicate that the people behind the dispatch of these Assassins are now in the Cathedral of Light. ”

As soon as these words came out, instead of showing a panicked appearance, everyone present put on a strange face, as if they were looking at Badback with the eyes of an idiot: nonsense, although the bishop present is a believer in the Holy Light, this does not mean that these guys are all compassionate saints. In this world of power-seeking, none of these guys who can become high priests or even bishops are not veterans who survived the battlefield of intrigue, these people just need to think about it, and then contact the first person to step forward just now is the director of the Religious Inquisition, as long as they are not fools, they know who the two Holy Light Sect archbishops killed are.

As for what these people are doing, they already know that the mastermind of the matter is the director of the Religious Judgment Institute, but they don't say it, please! Not to mention that there is no conclusive evidence in his hands to prove that Badelan is the mastermind of the assassination of the two archbishops of the Holy Light Sect, and even if they do, they dare not show it: Badran is now pinching the little tails of all the bishops and priests present, and he has sent people to warn them before that if anyone dares to oppose him becoming the Pope, then he will reveal what he has done when he is defeated or exposed in a single day, and then he will die together.

In the eyes of all the high priests and bishops present, if they say that Badelan is the mastermind behind this incident, then even if Badelan falls, he will definitely die, and if he chooses to remain silent, then not only can he save his own life, but also Badelan may reward himself after seeing that he is so loyal and becomes the pope of the Holy Light Sect.

In response to the idiot-like stares cast by the people around him, Badbuck was unmoved and continued to say to the President of the Council: "For the safety of everyone, I have to use some of the rights of the Chief of the Knights of the Guardian Order, and I also ask the President of the Council and everyone to forgive me, after all, I am doing this for everyone's safety." With that, Badback pulled out a small horn from between the armor and blew it, and it was not long before a group of cathar knights armed to the teeth walked into the Basilica of the Holy Light under the surprised gaze of everyone, and at the same time the people in the main hall also found through the open door that the stairs leading to the Basilica of the Holy Light, or rather, the Basilica of the Holy Light, were surrounded by the cathar knights who were fully armed to the teeth.

And just when the expressions on everyone's faces began to change, Badrán, who had finally walked up to the high platform of the main hall, turned around and said condescendingly to Badbuck and everyone present: "Captain Badbuck is right, in fact, my informant has also received news that the mastermind behind the assassination of the two archbishops is now in the Cathedral of the Holy Light, so I have also made some arrangements, and I also thank Captain Badbuck, these people you led plus mine, It should be able to protect the interior of the Cathedral of Light as if it were an impregnable wall. ”

As Birdland spoke, bands of cathars, also armed to the teeth, poured out of the four doors of the Cathedral of Light. The confident smile on Badbuck's face also became gloomy about this, but a sneer appeared on his face, because after Badbuck glanced at these apologists at first, he found that the number of these apologists was less than one-quarter of the number of aphar knights he had brought, and even if there were still some people hidden in the Cathedral of Light, the number of these people was destined to not exceed the number of people he led.

"It turned out that he just didn't give up, I thought this guy was ............ Well? At this moment, Badbuck, who was scanning the surroundings with his eyes, suddenly found that the Guardian Knights located outside the Cathedral of the Holy Light began to stir, and pointed at the top of the Cathedral of the Holy Light, to be exact, which made Badbuck's face with a trace of doubt, and then, his peripheral vision found that outside the Cathedral of the Holy Light, a knight cathar was galloping towards the door of the Cathedral of the Holy Light on a war horse.
