Chapter 1195: Vincent's Plan
"Vincent, have you ever thought about who will lead the Knights of Light if you resign?" Swell didn't expect Vincent to kick the ball to himself, and scolded a little angrily.
"It's entirely up to you. If you don't agree with my resignation, it's entirely okay to cancel the deal. Vincent replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. Vincent has quickly grasped the whole context of the matter, and now the real dilemma is Swell.
For unknown reasons, Swell was reluctant to cancel the deal, but now he was short of manpower and unwilling to let Vincent resign as head of the Knights of Light.
'Can this disregard the face of the Holy See?, for whatever reason, Swell, you cannot forgive this behavior!' Vincent was calm as water on the surface, but he could not suppress his anger inwardly.
"Do you have anyone you can recommend?" Swell pondered for a long time, but the final answer disappointed Vincent, in the end, did Swell choose to sacrifice the face of the Holy See?
"I can only trust to hand over the position of head of the Knights of Light to Serent. Vincent sighed that since Swell had made up his mind to complete the deal with Kemor, he would use Swell's psychology to get the best interest for Selent.
"Celent, Vincent, are you kidding?" Swell glared at Vincent, "He's just a priest, not even a paladin, and you even recommended him to be the head of the Knights of Light?!"
"Swell's crown, Celent definitely has the strength to take on this position!" Vincent said without giving an inch, and there was a big gesture that Swell would not agree with him, "Don't you know better than me that the transfer between priests and paladins is not subject to the laws of the continent's profession?"
Swell felt a little hot in his face, and Vincent was sure that he had to broker this deal before he dared to blackmail him so nakedly. Vincent was right, as compensation for the establishment of the iron laws of the Holy See, professions within the Holy See could be transferred at will without being affected by the laws of the mainland professions.
"Nonsense! It's nonsense!" Swell was so angry that his beard was about to rise, Vincent was now completely overpowering people, and the power he relied on, in addition to that deal, there were several other Bright Councillors.
Since the establishment of the Council of Light, the biggest role of these so-called members of the Light Council, who have been stuffed into the major forces, is to restrain the Holy See branch, as long as anything that can hinder the Holy See branch, they are willing to do.
When Cardinal Ishtar was in charge of the Holy See branch, although the Council of Light was arrogant, it could only play a role in dragging its feet due to Iztar's high prestige within the Holy See, and did not interfere deeply in the internal affairs of the Holy See.
After Swell took office, due to his hasty succession to the throne, and his previous old-fashioned and unlikable people, he had an unstable foundation within the Holy See, so he gave the Council of Light many opportunities to take advantage of.
"Your Majesty, since that Celent has been strongly recommended by the Vincent Knight, there must be something extraordinary, why don't you ask him to come out and see him? Norman said with a smile. The stakes are so high for such an important change of power within the Holy See, and there is no reason for the Imperial War to sit idly by.
"This is an internal matter of the Holy See, and it is not the turn of the Imperial Military Department to intervene!" Swell bluntly refused.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you are confused, I remember that among the duties of the Council of Light, it is responsible for supervising the selection of high-level members of the Holy See. How can the leader of the Knights of Light be within the range?" Durant interjected for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
"Celent is not qualified to succeed as the head of the Knights of Light at all. Swell could not tolerate this in any way when he was in charge of the branch of the Holy See, and if Vincent succeeded, it would be tantamount to tearing off his face and trampling on the ground a few more times.
"Why?" Vincent asked, glaring at Swell, "Doesn't my recommendation count?"
"Of course ......not," Swell had just said halfway before he was unceremoniously interrupted by Erwin.
"Your Majesty, I remember that in the Holy Code, Part II, Chapter 37, Subsection 54, states that the Head of the Knights of Light may designate a successor, and no one can stop him if the successor has not violated the Holy Code. Erwin's words made others look at him with admiration, not that no one had the time to read all the brick-thick sacred codex, and even more rare non-holy cultists who could remember it as clearly as Erwin.
"Did Master Erwin intend to convert to the Holy Cult? Swell sarcastically said, but he undoubtedly acquiesced to Irwin's right.
"I'm sorry, I didn't have that will, but it doesn't conflict with my familiarity with the Holy Codex. Whatever knowledge, it's always good to learn a little more, isn't it?" Erwin's slightly ostentatious tone could have Swell to death, and a magician had nothing to do with the Holy Codex?Swell simply didn't know how to answer the question.
"There is indeed such a provision in the Holy Code, but it is unfortunate that Silent has just violated the Holy Code, so he is not qualified to succeed him as the head of the Knights of Light. Swell shook his head and sighed.
After Vincent heard this, his eyes almost popped out, Is Swell crazy? In order to prevent Celent from ascending to the throne, he even exposed his family scandal in front of the Council of Light! Not to mention whether Celent violated the Holy Law or not, if this matter is really investigated, everything that happened in the Holy See last night will be known to everyone. So what did they bother to cover up the traces for?
What made Vincent even more angry was that, looking at what Swell meant, he was already sure that Silent had used his soul power to attack Nicky yesterday, even if he didn't have any evidence, deep down he had already decided so.
I have to say that Swell made a comatose move at this time, and his doing so not only broke Vincent's heart, but also made his already low reputation within the Holy See drop to the lowest point.
"Oh, Silent just violated the Holy Code, so it was last night's riot?" Elwin keenly grasped the topic and chased after him.
"No, Celent has nothing to do with last night's riot!" Swell, too, realized that he had made a mistake at this time, and quickly denied it.
"So there was a riot in the Holy See last night?" Norman's eyes lit up, did Swell not admit himself?
"This ......" No matter how thick-skinned Swell is, in front of so many people, he can't turn his face and deny what he just said.
Seeing Swell's performance like this, Vincent sighed deeply, and he clearly realized that the Holy See branch was coming to an end.
