Chapter 1563
But now he has nothing, so don't blame the Duke for not caring about family affection.
Now Gavin North has clearly stood on the side of the old king, and Duke Ted North doesn't want to stand so quickly.
But after tonight, many things will become clear, and he can't continue to stick to it.
The old Duke put down the wine glass, and between his deep eyebrows were turbid but energetic eyes, which seemed to penetrate the wall and look into another lounge.
That lounge was where Gavin North and Earl Stanley Longfellow were.
Gwen, who was supposed to be a guard, was sitting on the main seat at this time, and didn't care about the eyes of the servants entering and leaving the room.
Obviously, she has completely stopped pretending.
However, none of the three people in this lounge are qualified to attend tonight's meeting.
But they gathered here without panic, as if they were waiting for something.
The host, Bishop Sabrina Melville, was sitting together with [Bloody Saint] Hayley Saint Meredith and [Sunsinger] Eva Alsop to discuss.
[Sunsinger] Eva Alsop was the Saint who had always been hiding in the chariot and had never appeared!
In this mission, the Saint sent a total of three top masters, openly and secretly, to obtain the possible inheritance of the gods in [Heaven].
However, no one would have thought that all this would be a trap set by Hermes.
There was no inheritance they wanted in [Heaven]!
Among the three top masters, except Bishop Sabrina Melville who caught up at the last minute, the other two were very regretful that they could not even enter [Heaven].
Even if it weren't for the Valkyrie's maid, the [Twin Paladins] they carefully cultivated would have lost their wings in [Heaven].
But fortunately, the final result was not bad.
The Holy Church team was undoubtedly one of the biggest beneficiaries of this operation.
[Pope] Sis Saint Patricis was also very important to this. As soon as he got the news, he quickly dealt with the affairs of the capital and rushed here day and night.
Originally, this meeting was just a temporary discussion. The biggest purpose was to summarize and review, so that the brain, which had become clearer after a night's rest, could re-process the previous topics.
In addition, the time and place of the next formal meeting were to be planned. Therefore, His Holiness Pope Sis Saint Patricis had no need to come.
But he still came!
And not only did Pope Patricis come, but even the Elf Queen came!
Chapter 1005 Uninvited Guests (4k)>>
Whether it was the aging Pope Patricis or the Moon Elf Queen, who theoretically could not leave the Elf Tribe, they made the decision to go as soon as they confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Now that the decision has been made, the factors that prevent them from executing the decision have become small problems that must be solved.
It was just past six o'clock, and there was only one hour left before the scheduled meeting time. [Pope] Patricis and [Queen of the Elf] Vera Artemis hurried and finally passed through the territory of the North and came to the vicinity of the Mountain of the Gods.
However, they did not enter the camp of the Holy Church, but bumped into another uninvited guest in the dark night sky.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the three of them chose to travel in simple clothes at the same time, and only rode a flying carriage to rush here quickly, and they happened to bump into each other!
The [Pope]'s carriage was a gilded carriage with a sun pattern on the top of the carriage. The carriage was pulled by a [Bird of Light] with a slender neck, and was driven by two golden armored paladins sitting on the carriage board.
The Elf Queen's carriage was an emerald jade carriage, and the one pulling the carriage was not the unicorn that was more common in the elves' land, but a beast-shaped Iron God Weapon with a slender body.
The last person's carriage was a luxurious carriage covered with gold ornaments, and the one pulling the carriage was a golden-backed flying dragon raised by the royal family - a sub-dragon species with a golden back armor like a tortoise shell - the standard equipment for King Austin Clarissa's long journey!
The three carriages met in the air and confronted each other, and no one retreated. In theory, although the Pope Patricis was of noble status, in a kingdom where royal power was greater than divine power, his status was still half a head lower than that of King Austin Clarissa.
Therefore, he should come out first to greet the King.
However, Patricis did not come out.
Of course, it was even more impossible for King Austin Clarissa to come out before him.
On the other hand, the queen of the elves, who had originally had a bad relationship with humans, certainly could not show much friendliness at this time.
Before the meeting started, the appearance of the uninvited guest had already brought the atmosphere between the three forces to a freezing point.
Holy Church Camp.
The members of the various forces who had detected the situation over there rushed into the camp and reported the situation to the leaders of their respective forces.
Bishop Sabrina Melville was the first person to learn of this. Her face changed on the spot, and she quickly called Albert Grantham from the [Twin Paladins] to go and greet him.
Originally, if only the [Pope] arrived, she only needed to wait in the camp.
However, from the description of the scout, if she did not show up as soon as possible, any situation between the three carriages over there could happen.
Of course, deep down in her heart, Bishop Sabrina Melville didn't want to go at all.
She was not a person who could kowtow!
But when she walked outside with Albert, she saw that the door of another lounge suddenly opened, and Earl Stanley Longfellow, who had entered here just in the name of "visiting", actually walked out.
"Good evening, Bishop." Earl Stanley Longfellow bowed very respectfully, with meticulous etiquette, and on the surface, there was no exaggeration in the past.
But perhaps, this formal look is his true face. And walking out from behind him was Gavin North, who looked embarrassed, and Gwen, who was no longer hiding.
Bishop Sabrina Melville raised her head slightly, and her eyes swept directly over Stanley Longfellow and fell on Gwen's face.
Then she pointed out Gwen's identity very naturally: "Sir Gwendolan Ulysses, since we have met, let's go together."
Gwendolan Ulysses nodded slightly and said: "Tonight's meeting still requires the bishop to give a little more face."
Bishop Sabrina Melville said: "Of course I have no objection, but you should also know that I only provided the venue, and I am not the real person in charge of the meeting."
Gwendolan Ulysses smiled and said: "Principal Arte never embarrasses anyone."
Then the two smiled at each other, walked side by side, and walked out.
"Is the Pope... such a character?"
Dak Dimon, who learned the information, asked with a puzzled look.
Principal Arte looked at the hot steam of the black tea and recalled slightly: "Patricis has always been an ambitious person. Have you heard of the divine right of kings?"
Dak nodded slightly.
Principal Arte continued: "Patricis has always wanted to restore the Holy Church to its most prosperous period in history, and the divine right of kings is the symbol of the church's most prosperous period. In the past, he couldn't do it, so he was always inferior to King Austin. But now is different from the past. All needs and possibilities can be met after becoming a god. However, Patricis' time is running out."
Dake thought for a while and said: "Perhaps, it is precisely because there is not much time left that he suddenly became so tough. No force can stop Patricis's way forward."
"Even King Austin?" Aurora asked, with a little confusion on her face.
Dake said with some sigh: "Your Majesty King Austin Clarissa, there is not much time left...originally."
Before the abnormal situation occurred, [King] Austin Clarissa and [Pope] Sis Saint Patricis were both old and weak. The only difference is that King Austin Clarissa's aging is due to the normal passage of time. The injuries he suffered during the war at most made his energy decline faster than that of ordinary old people, so there was a dispute between Eliza and Charles for the succession.
However, Pope St. Patricius was essentially in his prime. The reason why he was old and weak and waiting to die was just because of the side effects of "artificial saint".
But in any case, the relationship between the two old men who could also see the underworld at that time was not bad on the surface.
Since they were all dying, many barriers were naturally put down. However, the harmony brought by being old could not last long.
Once either of them found a way to prolong their lives, the other would immediately become a "thorn in the eye" and "thorn in the ear"!
In the past six months, King Austin Clarissa has taken a lot of restrictive measures against the Holy Church, further tearing the already bad relationship between the two sides.
Under such circumstances, if [Pope] Patricis still can't live long, for the future development of the Holy Church, he may continue to swallow his anger
But now there is a road leading directly to the throne of God in front of him. As long as this method succeeds, he will definitely be able to prolong his life.
And he has considerable confidence in his own strength, believing that as long as he works hard, he will definitely be ahead of everyone and be the first to ascend to the throne of the Magic God!
The almost foreseeable future naturally made him regain some of his spirit. Therefore, he can't bear it anymore!
What's more, on the road leading directly to the throne of God, the two sides may become the most direct competitors!

Chapter 1006 Valkyrie Faction (Five Million Words Commemorative Edition)
Once the struggle between [Pope] Sis Saint Patricis and [King] Austin Clarissa turns from the dark side to the light side, the already turbulent situation in the kingdom will be further divided. www.ykrsoft.com
But the tide of change is bound to come, and the internal disputes in the kingdom caused by the discord between the [Pope] and the [King] are not a big deal.
Unless the Holy Church wants to be independent and establish a holy country!
But as of now, [Pope] Sis Saint Patricius has not shown similar ideas.
Dak doesn't think he will do that either.
It's not that he has any confidence in his "patriotism", but simply because the current situation does not allow it.
Although the war between humans and the demons has ended for more than ten years, the highly cohesive regime that was formed to deal with the war has not been relaxed.
There is only one big country in the human world today, and that is the Kingdom of Unique, which gathers almost all the existing humans!
As for those small countries that were rebuilt piecemeal after the war, they are still far from being established.
That is obviously not a good choice for the Holy Church, which needs a large population base to spread its faith.
As Principal Arte said, if the Holy Church wants to restore its heyday, it is a more reliable choice to work towards the goal of "divine right of kings".
Before, the Holy Church strongly supported the Grand Prince Charles, and it was inevitable that it had the idea of controlling the kingdom through Charles.
But that has become a thing of the past! If the gods are revived, they will definitely establish the Kingdom of God.
The current social structure of the human world is extremely undesirable to the gods.
What they want more is undoubtedly a loose structure of "letting a hundred flowers bloom".
If [Pope] Sis Saint Patricis can really become a god through this, it is not impossible to gather believers and establish a holy country in the future.
But the future is the future after all, and the future of this world has entered a stage that no one can see through.
Therefore, when Dak thought of the [Prophecy Night] that the tower master of [Star Tower] would hold in four months, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's useless to think too much." Principal Arte thought he was still thinking about the situation in the kingdom, so he said casually, "Since Austin is here, we can't turn him away. Try to prepare some to deal with Austin's words.
Professor Sylph said: "I don't think you need to care too much. Austin Clarissa must be the leader of a country. Even if he didn't come today, he should be invited to the formal meeting in the future."
"That's different." Professor Mitia said, "He is the first batch of people to attend the meeting today. Next time he comes to attend the meeting, he can only be the second batch."
"Wait." Professor Steven Harvey seemed to have thought of something, and said slightly dissatisfied, "Shouldn't this meeting only be attended by those who have signed a contract with Hermes? Then the Duke of the North can also be said to be bringing Fred North to participate as a guardian. The participation of the Pope and the Queen of the Fairies was already against the rules. Now there is an old king who has almost nothing to do with this incident. So why can't we participate?"
"That's absolutely right!" Professor Medea Bartholomew immediately raised his hands and agreed.
[Leo] Trina also said slightly dissatisfied: "Since the rules are no longer rules, why should we abide by them?"
[Scorpio] Chris also emerged from the shadows, folded her arms and said: "I want to attend this meeting. "
As the main intelligence officer in the Valkyrie Duke's Palace, Chris has been holding back for a long time, and now she finally exploded.
Among the more than ten people in St. Marian College, only Ophelia Blood had no opinion on this - her mind was all on the [Pope], and she was probably thinking about how to assassinate him.
Principal Arte couldn't help shaking his head.
Isn't it obvious why Austin Clarissa was able to attend this meeting?
Because he is the king!
What? What's so great about the king? That's fine.
In short, since the three heavyweights of [King], [Pope] and [Queen of the Elves] are already present, then the current At that time, the meeting was no longer an ad hoc meeting.
In view of the statements of Chris and others, Principal Arte proposed: "In this case... why don't we split up?"
On the side of St. Marian College, if Nix and Ergani are included, there will be a total of fourteen people.
As a single force to attend the meeting, the number of fourteen is obviously too many.
But if the power of the Valkyrie Duke's Mansion is split from it, it will be relatively suitable.
Now that the two political forces related to the [King] and [Duke of the North] have been made clear, the Valkyrie Duke's Mansion can no longer be combined with St. Marian College.
Dak agreed directly: "Then it's decided."
Splitting a force into two forces, although it seems [1÷2=0.5], the actual situation is [1÷2=1].
Both sides can gain more benefits and voice.
