Chapter 1197: Tricks Emerge (Page 1/1)

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency, Silent has been brought. The crowd did not wait long, and Vincent came in and replied.

Swell, who was still worried about what Vincent and Celent were doing in private, breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of time, the two of them basically didn't delay much, and the time on the road was not enough for them to come up with any effective countermeasures.

"Oh, so soon, call him in!" Elwin seemed to have a strong curiosity about Serent, and couldn't wait to instruct.

Vincent didn't act immediately, but set his sights on Swell, who was nominally the one who was in charge of the place now.

"Let Celent come in—Vincent, you'll have to make another run, and call Nicky too. Swell's intention to do this was too obvious, that is, to find an excuse to break Vincent away, and even the other people couldn't stand it, they didn't understand how a person like Swell could sit in the position of cardinal, whether it was his mind or means, it was really far from the requirements of the head of the Holy See branch.

Vincent gave Swell a deep look, then turned away without saying a word. He knew what Swell had in mind, but unfortunately, no matter how careful Swell's plan was, it was doomed to be in vain. Vincent had absolute confidence in Serente, and if even he was condemned as a heretic, then the Holy See would really not be far from its destruction.

After Vincent left, there was a polite knock outside the door of the Chamber of Light.

"Come in. Swell took a deep breath, he had never imagined that a young priest who had just arrived in the imperial capital would cause him so much trouble. When Celent came in, Swell was still reflecting on whether he had underestimated Celent too much.

"You're Selent?" Durant asked in shock as he looked at the little pastor who had just entered the door.

It seems that this young man is no more than seventeen years old, and he must be so young that he can be nominated by Vincent to succeed him as the leader of the Knights of Light.

Several other people also put away the mood of watching the joke before, and a feeling of facing a great enemy quietly grew in the hearts of everyone. Could it be that the Holy See has given birth to another young genius? Anyone who has stepped onto the stage of history at such a young age has eventually become a great figure in influencing the course of history.

Seeing that such a young talent is about to collapse and emerge again, is it not proof that the Lord of Light is unwilling to give up the Holy See's foundation on the continent of Eliad?

Don't look at the current empire is strong, but after all, the Arian Continent is the backyard of the Lord of Light, and after the Holy See defeated the missionaries of several other main gods, the entire continent has formed a situation in which the Holy See is dominant. Even at the beginning of the empire, the peerless Otto the Great still wanted to worship the Holy See as the state religion.

On the one hand, after the foundation of the empire was gradually consolidated, there was an inevitable conflict between the imperial power and the divine power, and the powerful Rey III began to move; on the other hand, the various forces had already been really interested in the accumulation of thousands of years of domination of the Holy See by the Holy See, and were ready to take advantage of this opportunity to take a share of the Holy See.

The foundation of all this lies in the fact that after the cataclysm, due to the isolation of the Eastern and Western continents, the branch of the Holy See lost the strong support of the Holy See itself. For fifteen years, no oracle of the Lord of Light has descended on the Holy See branch, creating the illusion that the Lord of Light has abandoned the Holy See, which has given all forces enough courage to challenge the Holy See branch.

But now that a young talent has suddenly emerged in the branch of the Holy See, in the eyes of other forces, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the branch of the Holy See that is decaying and declining. If this is an oracle from the Lord of Light, the other forces will definitely have to carefully weigh whether the previous plan against the branch of the Holy See is really feasible.

But this is only the worst-case scenario, maybe Celent is just a puppet launched by Vincent to deter other forces, and until it is confirmed that Celent really has such strength, everything is in vain. Even if...... Celent is truly the one the Lord of Light wants, and before his identity is confirmed, they have plenty of opportunities to eliminate this threat in their infancy, such as eliminating Serent completely.

As long as Serente's identity is not officially recognized by the Holy See, other forces still have a chance, and even if the Lord of Light really sends a divine descendant to investigate the matter, they can prevaricate and say that they don't know Serente's true identity and make this mistake.

Looking at Swell's meaning, he did not intend to recognize Celent's identity, and he also intended to designate him as a heretic, which undoubtedly created the best opportunity for other forces.

Everyone stared at Celent, each with their own plans in their hearts, and Erwin sighed secretly in his heart, Swell was really carried away by the power, afraid that Celent would threaten his position, so he did not hesitate to make Celent a heretic, and missed the opportunity to re-establish the foundation of the Holy See's branch.

"Your Majesty, did you have anything to do with me?" asked Celant, unconsciously touching his cheek. It had been five minutes since he entered the Bright Council Chamber, but no one had spoken, just kept looking at him, making him think for a moment that he had a flower on his face.

"Serent, I'd like to ask again about the conflict between you and Nicky last night. Swell asked after a pause.

"I met Nicky last night near the church's cemetery, and found him with an undead aura on him, after which you arrived with Knight Vincent. Silent replied calmly.

"Your Majesty Swell, listening to Celant's description, it doesn't seem to have violated the sacred law~" Erwin interjected at the right time.

"Hmph! Can't you hear such an obvious flaw?" Swelle snorted, "According to Nicky's description, that undead breath was attached to him by Silent. ”

"Did I hear me wrong?, Silent is a priest, how can he release the aura of the undead?" Elwin was surprised.

"That's why I suspect that he is in collusion with the God of Souls. Swilson's cold tone didn't look like suspicion at all, but he had already decided on it.

"Your Majesty, I'd love to know why you chose to believe Nicky instead of Selent? After all, the two of them have their own opinions, maybe Nicky has something to do with the god of souls, so he was infected with the breath of the dead, and after being discovered by Selent, he beat up and framed Selent?" Erwin asked rhetorically as if defending Selent.

"Nicky can be said to have grown up watching him, and I know what kind of character he is. Swell's hard words made everyone look sideways, Swell, didn't he even want a face?
