Chapter 264

This move is Qin Chu's best.

Athena learned it to threaten Ai Li and Ai Lin, Ai Lin learned it to threaten Rossweisse, Sylph and Athena, and now even Rossweisse has learned it from Ai Lin.

I have to say that this move is really good for threatening people.

When these words were spoken, the face of the Archbishop Kain on the opposite side changed instantly, his eyes flickered and erratic, as if he was thinking in his heart what kind of handle Rossweisse had caught.

However, Kain was obviously an old fox, and the shock in his heart only lasted for a short moment, and soon returned to normal, and he even showed a smile on his face: "Your Highness Rossweisse, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."

Rossweisse chuckled, smiling like a flower.

But at this moment, the beautiful smile in Kain's eyes only made Kain shudder.

"Archbishop, do you really want me to explain things so clearly?"

Seeing that Kain still didn't say anything, Rossweisse continued: "Karl, Cronin, Kyle Rich, Albert Pine..."

One name after another came out of Rossweisse's mouth, and each name made Kain's face a little gloomier, and his eyes were narrowed into slits.

"If I remember correctly, these more than 60 boys were adopted by the Holy Church Orphanage, right?"

"What does the Archbishop want to do by keeping these boys around?"

Kain's throat moved slightly, his eyelids drooped, and his expression remained unchanged: "Those children are too pitiful, and I think they are very talented. If they are well trained, they will become rare talents of our Holy Church in the future, so I keep them around and prepare to take care of them personally..."

"I think this is just following the benevolent will of the Goddess of Light, and it does not violate the regulations of the Church."

Rosweisse nodded slightly: "If it is just adopting orphans, it does not violate the regulations, but... Douglas."

Rosweisse's voice had just fallen, and the Cardinal Douglas behind him suddenly stepped forward and appeared in front of Kain, and Kain's body retreated a little.

He could feel a deep depression in Douglas. This man was taciturn, weird and gloomy. Kain didn't even understand how this kind of stuff got into the Holy Church.

However, perhaps it is such a guy who can be in charge of a place full of wailing like the Inquisition.

Douglas had several magic images in his hand. Cain only glanced at them. The magic images showed the unbearable scenes of himself, Carl, Cronin and others. His pupils suddenly expanded, and his body could not help but step back several steps. The expression on his face kept changing, and he was uncertain.

He thought that he had not embezzled the property of the Church, nor had he maintained an improper relationship with the nuns. He was also very careful about things here, and he should not have been caught.

But what about these magic images?

Where did Rossweisse get them from?

She was obviously a beautiful woman, but now in Cain's eyes, Rossweisse was as terrifying as a devil.

A trace of cold sweat had begun to seep out of his forehead. Cain knew better than anyone how much impact these things would have on him once they were exposed.

Although the Holy See is full of filth, and there are few clean priests and bishops, the Holy See is most careful about its reputation and wants to create a kind, good, holy, and bright image in the eyes of the public and believers.

What I did would never be allowed.

That was even more serious than the situation of the deputy leader before.

Generally speaking, after the dirty deeds of the Holy See’s high-level officials are discovered, the most common method used is to silence them. As long as all those who know the truth are eliminated, they will still be clean and can still appear in front of the public with a holy image.

But the person opposite is a saint, a cardinal of the Inquisition, killing to silence?

Who kills whom?

"Lord Kain..." Rossweisse stood up, and with a gust of fragrant wind, her graceful figure appeared in front of Kain, and her little hand fell on Kain's shoulder: "As we all know, magic images cannot be faked."

"You don't want this picture to be known to everyone, right?"

"You can think about it yourself. If thousands of believers in the Holy See knew that the archbishop actually did such dirty things in the church, what would those believers do?"

"What would the nuns and priests in the Holy See think?"

Looking at Kain's erratic eyes, Rossweisse's smile became more and more intense. Although threatening people with this method is shameless, it is effective.

As the cardinal of the Inquisition, Douglas can be said to have the black material of many people in the entire Holy See.

However, Rossweisse and Douglas didn't take these black materials to heart. After all, these black materials are not small, nor are they big. Especially for people with high power like Kain, it is not difficult to settle them.

Ever since she parted with Ekaterina a while ago, Ekaterina's words have been echoing in Rossweisse's ears.

The first female pope of the Holy See.

This title is too tempting for Rossweisse.

As the Pope, she will control one of the most powerful forces in the entire Sky Continent, and can be on par with Santa Monica and Wadsworth. It will also be easier for her to resurrect Lord Jello.

Of course, the premise is that she can pull down that bastard Augustus.

Rossweisse believes that one day she can reach the strength of Augustus, but that is not something that can be done in a short time. However, if she can surround herself with enough masters, she may be able to achieve the same effect.

Therefore, Rossweisse is ready to enrich the power around her and seize power.

The first person she found was a deputy leader, not the one proposed by Ekaterina, but she didn't expect that in the face of her looming threat, the deputy leader directly refused and turned away, and didn't even intend to negotiate with Rossweisse.

As expected, it was too much of a stretch to rely on these black materials to manipulate those powerful people. She knew this, but the attitude of the deputy leader made Rossweisse very unhappy.

So, all the negative information was directly exposed, which immediately caused a huge uproar.

The wave of public opinion was so strong that even Rossweisse was a little creepy. People who the deputy leader had offended on weekdays, people who wanted to squeeze the deputy leader out and replace him, people who couldn't stand the fact that the deputy leader arranged his brother-in-law to be the captain, which made it impossible for them to climb up...

There was no need for Rossweisse to manipulate and guide them personally, as these people had already taken the initiative to mess up the public opinion field.

Although the personal safety of the deputy leader was not threatened, and although most of the believers were just a group of ordinary people who had no power, when these words came together, even the deputy leader couldn't stand it.

All kinds of negative information with evidence, no evidence, and rumors were flying everywhere.

The reputation of the deputy leader dropped to the bottom in a short period of time. He went from being a high-level clergyman respected by everyone to a scumbag who was cursed by everyone.

Is such a scum really suitable to continue to hold a high position in the Holy See?

The Inquisition also arrested the deputy leader under the pretext of calming the unrest within the Church and among believers. There were not many voices of opposition inside. Anyone who opposed was an accomplice of him.

And in a place like the Inquisition, no matter who you are, it is difficult to get out once you enter.

For the first time, Rossweisse truly felt the power of public opinion. Public opinion alone is not scary. What is scary is that there is a strong enough force behind this public opinion to support it.

As long as it is used well, public opinion is a more terrifying killing weapon than swords, magic and martial arts.

And the fate of this deputy leader also served as a warning to others. Once the black material was put in front of them, the senior officials who came into contact with him in the following time immediately chose to obey.

Rossweisse believed that Cain in front of him would not be an exception.

"Archbishop Kain, do you know what happened to Vice Captain Kant?"

"You don't want to end up like that, do you? Your crime is even more serious than Vice Captain Kant's. Do you think you can maintain your current status and position once these magic images are exposed? Can you still be an archbishop?"

"In the Inquisition, some torture instruments have been prepared for you."

Gudong...

Kain's throat moved and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Hearing this, it was clear that Rossweisse must have been behind Vice Captain Kant's incident.

Douglas stayed here, clearly not giving himself a chance to deny it. With the evidence in his hands, even if Douglas caught him here and threw him to the Inquisition, no one in the Holy See could say anything.

This is definitely a smart man.

A smile suddenly appeared on Kain's face: "Saint Rossweiser, you are joking. I have always admired Saint Rossweiser. If Saint Rossweiser has any request, please tell me. Kain will never refuse."

Kain was thinking quickly in his heart. What exactly do Douglas and the Saint want to do?

Dealing with him will not benefit them at all, so the only purpose is to make him their vassal?

But what's the point? Douglas is already a cardinal, and Rossweiser is a saint. Even if there is a vassal like me...wait...the goal of these two people is not the position of Pope, right?

Kain's eyes narrowed into a slit when he suddenly thought of this. Looking at the relationship between Rossweiser and Douglas, Rossweiser is obviously the one who is pushed to the front. Could it be that they want Rossweiser to become the first female pope of the Holy See?

Even though Kain is determined, he can't help but be shocked by the ambition of Rossweiser and the Cardinal at this moment.

However, he had no loyalty to Augustus. Augustus climbed from the Son of God to the Pope, which could be said to be a precedent in the Holy See. After all, the Pope has always been selected from the archbishops. Who would have thought that Augustus would suddenly appear that year?

This smart man did not wait for Rossweisse to respond, and immediately said: "Kain is willing to fight for Her Highness the Saint. No matter what Her Highness wants to do, I will be your most staunch supporter."

"Kain, you are very smart." Rossweisse was quite satisfied with Kain's answer: "Please come to this place for a small party in seven days. There will be many like-minded companions at that time."

After taking a look at the address given by Rossweisse, Kain remembered it in his heart.

Seven days is not only the time that Rossweisse left for herself to prepare, but also a test for Kain and others. During this period, the spies of the Inquisition will closely monitor these people. If there is any abnormal movement, Rossweisse will spread the evidence in her hands.

Seven days is not long, but not short.

Kain has been shutting himself up in the room and has not gone anywhere.

He wanted to ask Augustus for help, but finally gave up. The maid in the house, the nuns walking outside the room, and the priests in the church, who knows how many people are the spies of the Inquisition?

How many True Eyes are left around him?

If the fact that he sought help from Augustus is exposed, then the fate of Deputy Captain Kant will be his future.

Seven days later, Kain left the Holy See and went to the scheduled place, but when he arrived here, he found that the hotel room was empty, with only a note pointing to the next location. After several consecutive turns, he had reached the edge of the imperial city.

This is the old site of the Mother Earth Church. The original church has been razed to the ground, and the Mother Earth Church has not arranged anyone to come and rebuild it.

When Cain came here, he found that there were already quite a few people here. His eyes shrank slightly as he looked around. They were really familiar faces.

There were three archbishops of the Holy Church, including himself, and two of the seven deputy leaders of the Holy Knights.

There were 36 bishops in the imperial city, and 17 of them came.

It seems that these people were threatened by Rossweisse using such despicable means? Who would have thought that the saint who looked innocent and holy would turn so black after being cut open?

Cain's appearance did not cause too much fluctuation. Some people pretended not to see it, and some people looked a little embarrassed.

After a while, accompanied by a sound of footsteps, Douglas and Rossweisse finally appeared.

Some people even couldn't help but want to take action. If so many masters rushed up, even if Douglas and Rossweisse were strong, they would definitely not be opponents.

But, they quickly held back.

Since these two dared to show up here, I wonder how many tricks they have prepared in secret.

I am afraid that the moment I take action, my black material will be spread throughout the imperial city and known to everyone.

Douglas completely ignored the hateful eyes around him, went straight to the center of the crowd, and swept his eyes around everyone: "Everyone..."

"Welcome here, this is our first gathering."

"I'm sorry, I can only choose this desolate place, and I can't entertain you well." Douglas bent down and apologized for the poor hospitality: "But, there is no way, I don't want our gathering to be known by Augustus."

Gulp...

Sure enough, they are going for the position of the Pope.

Although many people have guessed it long ago, they still felt a little nervous.

"Before the formal meeting begins, there is something I need to announce."

Douglas's face suddenly became excited, and his eyes were filled with strong madness: "Everyone, do you think Her Highness Rossweisse is just a saint of the Church?"

Nonsense, what else can it be if not a saint?

"No, you are wrong."

"Lady Rossweisse is not only a saint, she is also a goddess."

Douglas opened his arms, his voice was full of madness:

"She is the daughter of God!"

There is still the fifth chapter today, around nine o'clock. Everyone who has recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, please throw them all over, thank you.

Chapter 315: Erosion of Athena

(Seeking monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)

Douglas's face was full of madness, and his voice was even more indescribable.

Douglas seemed to have hidden this secret for many years. Now he finally had the opportunity to speak it out. His body was even shaking with excitement.

That look made everyone around look at each other in bewilderment.

Although they were all threatened to come here, they definitely recognized Douglas's strength. The level of eighty-eight was second only to Augustus in the entire Holy See.

In addition, Douglas was still very young. He was less than forty this year. It was a foregone conclusion that he would break through the limit of level ninety in the future.

He was in charge of the Inquisition on weekdays. He was taciturn and impartial. Even the high-ranking officials in the Vatican would be subconsciously frightened when they saw Douglas, even if they had not committed any crime.

Who would have thought that this cardinal with a will as hard as steel would actually show such a look, even the fanatics of the Vatican were far inferior to him.

Just with this short sentence, Douglas's face was even twisted into a ball, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
