Chapter 550 Night Fire Like a Dragon

click -

A bolt of lightning ripped apart the sky, and the crackling thunder sounded among the mountains, and the pea-sized raindrops scrambled to fall quickly, hitting the dome, eaves, windows, tree canopy, and the ground.

The torrential rain poured from the sky, and the thick raindrops were like a hard city wall.

The water splashed on the ground, the dense sound covered everything, the soil splashed with the rain, and there was an earthy smell in the air.

Although it was so noisy, it suddenly felt a sense of tranquility.

Headquarters of the Knights of the Holy Lance.

It was raining heavily outside the window, the rain flowers splashed on the windowsill, and the fine water droplets were blown into the room like fog by the wind, making people feel a little cool.

There are six people sitting at the table in the Knights Hall at the moment, of which Odis is at the top, there are three people on both sides, and Farrell is also among them.

"Is there any news from the Ten Swords Palace recently?" Odis asked.

"No, Sibis stayed in it all the time, never went out, and didn't respond to what happened a few days ago." A thousand riders replied.

"It seems that he is going to leave this matter on the air and deal with it slowly after the heat is over." A knight analyzed this.

"But won't this affect its reputation?" said a certain thousand riders.

"Maybe people don't care. Sibis has been operating in the church for many years, relying on students, colleagues, seniors and other relationships to weave a luxuriant network of interests, these allies will not change because of this small incident and reputation damage. Those who actually voted in the general election were not ordinary monks and nuns, but those bishops and senior officials of the zodiac who held authority."

"Then it's not good for us, we were expecting him to do something." A certain thousand cavalry captain sighed.

"Perhaps he himself realized that no matter what he said at this time, the explanation was wrong."

There are many thousands of cavalry leaders in the Holy Lance Knights, but they are really Odis' confidants, just a few people in front of them. If Thebes is the kind of business model that casts a wide net and distributes more, then Odis is a few hardcore supporters who focus on a few.

These thousand cavalry leaders and their subordinates are the kind of people who can really die for their lives, which also makes him particularly relieved.

The papal election will begin early next month, among which the bishops of the churches, the top officials of the Zodiac, the captains of the three thousand knights, etc. have the right to vote.

It is also worth mentioning that the adjudication division does not have the right to vote. This is a constraint and a protection. They will supervise the process of the general election and do not have to stand for it.

Among them, in terms of votes, the bishops of the local churches accounted for about 70% of the votes, while the Zodiac House accounted for about 20%, and the three knights accounted for 10%. Although the total number of bishops is large, the factions among them are very scattered and unclear. They are more or less connected with the twelve houses of the church. They know the current situation, but their positions are not firm.

"But it's not completely ineffective. At least recently, many bishops from other places have visited the head of the group to reconsider the future vote."

Several of them talked about the recent situation.

"What's going on with Benez?" Odis suddenly asked.

"Archbishop Benes has been staying in the Aquarius Palace as usual recently, and there is no special action. But an interesting thing happened a few days ago."

"Oh, what's the matter." Several others were also interested.

"It is said that a new member of the Judgment Division wanted to enter the inner palace, but was stopped by the guards, and she took out the Judgment Division badge."

"Haha, it's really interesting, I guess she's not too old and doesn't know what it means."

"People in the Judgment Department generally don't show their logo badges easily. Once they show it, they must have solid evidence and are ready to kill."

"I guess the guards were also angry and funny. Later, because she was not very old, she didn't specifically pursue it."

"What happened after that?"

"After that? It seems that the nun was pulled into the inner palace and gave a good lecture before being released."

"However, because of this, many people have secretly speculated that there is something wrong with Benes, and she will be called by the Judgment Division. This is not a good signal."

"But it's a good sign for us. Originally, Binesse's qualifications were shallow. Although she has the strength of Sequence 9, she has not been promoted for a few years and is not stable. This way, I can feel at ease and free up my hands to deal with Xi Jinping. Bees."

"Compared to the simple Benes, the cunning and cunning Sibis is much more difficult to deal with. He will be the biggest obstacle for Lord Odis to run for the Pope." Several knight commanders analyzed their current primary goals.

"But he has been reacting negatively recently, and we have no good solution for a while."

"That's it." A knight commander raised his hand. This person was Farrell, the Thousand Knight Commander who had recommended himself to Odis some time ago.

"If the fire isn't big enough, add another fire. When the public opinion becomes overwhelming, let's see which bishop dares to stand on the side of Sibis." He said slowly, then clenched the palm covering the steel gauntlet.

A few days later, there were more bad rumors about Sibis in the holy mountain, some of which were said that he raised **, some that he bullied orphans and widows, some that he suppressed his former teachers, and some that he cheated in the pastor's assessment, etc. Wait.

The vivid description of these rumors has aroused all kinds of attention in the ordinary church. Even these clergymen who cultivate their minds sometimes can't help but discuss in a low voice after tea and dinner, and their scope is getting wider and wider. Widespread, and even began to spread from the headquarters to various branches.

"Hey, did you hear

, something about the recent Archbishop of Thebes. "After the usual work, two young monks were sitting on a rock to rest when one of them suddenly spoke of the latest news.

"Which one are you talking about? I've heard a lot of news recently. I didn't expect the big man above to be such a thing."

"Haha, who is not, but he has been exposed recently. In my opinion, there are probably quite a few bishops who behave like this."

Although these rumors describe a lot of details, most of them are from the past. The parties and deeds are hidden in time. Even if Sibis defends himself, it is very difficult. And the general public don't care if it's true or not, they only care if it's interesting or not.

Ten Swords Palace, Liushui Inner Palace.

Sibis was still sitting on the bench by the pool, eating sweet and crisp berries, and listening to the people below reporting various recent rumors.

"Haha, it's really interesting." There was no angry expression on his fat and white face, but rather mockery.

"I'm still a little worried if Odis attacked and arrested me first and then tried. But now, it's really interesting to try to bring me down just based on these."

It is like a knight who is good at using a spear suddenly changed his career, trying to use language to make people collapse and submit, abandoning his strengths, and using his weaknesses to fight against an experienced opponent.

Sibes summoned two attendants, whispered in their ears, and let them leave the palace.

A few days later, all kinds of rumors and rumors about Sibes became more and more bizarre. From the beginning, he messed with men and women, and later he coerced the queen of a certain family to let his child replace the prince. Later, it was even rumored that he even faked the extraordinary strength of Sequence 8, pretending to be an extraordinary creation, and so on.

There was another incident recently, saying that he deliberately drove the same group of pastors and classmates who entered the Lam Ye Palace to a remote church in the deep mountains, and struggled to survive for decades.

At the same time, more and more people began to chanting, demanding that the verdict be ordered to investigate Sibes, suspend him from office and detain him, and strip him of all his rights.

At this time, more people began to shout and march in the holy mountain, and their scale was even larger than before.

Inside the Aquarius Palace, the bedroom where the sunset slants.

The golden afterglow fell on the white sheets, covering the half body of a silver-haired girl.

Loren Hill was sitting at the head of the bed, spreading out the clothes that he had just collected from outside, then slowly folded them, and placed them neatly at the head of the bed.

After a while, the door suddenly opened.

"Rochelle."

Bo Li ran in excitedly, she grabbed the silver-haired girl's hand, and said excitedly: "Don't fold the clothes, let's go out and have a look, there is a big event going to happen in the holy mountain today."

"What's the matter." Although Roland Hill replied, he still folded the nun's clothes in his hand and stood up.

"A major incident has occurred. Many people walked towards the Ten Swords Palace with torches. It is said that they want to seek justice and defeat the evil Archbishop of Sibis."

As she spoke, she pulled the girl out and walked towards the mountain road.

It's getting late. The sun has set, and only the blue and purple evening twilight is still looming in the sky.

The mountain road under the Aquarius Palace was crowded with people. They were noisy and boiling. Many people held torches to illuminate the surroundings, and then slowly moved forward with the flow of people. It seemed that there were at least a few thousand people.

"Remove Sibes!"

"He doesn't deserve it!"

"Little man!"

"The scum of the church!"

Some of them looked resentful and shouted loudly, while others were full of excitement and curiosity, and followed behind, ready to see how this matter ended.

"Let's follow along too." Bolly is typically not afraid of the height of the stage.

"Don't get too close, we can just watch from a distance." Roland Hill shook her head, she felt that tonight's matter was not easy.

"Okay, I'll listen to the chief."

"It's only now that I remembered that I'm the chief of the academy." Roland Hill patted Bolly's head a little angrily. This junior seems to be a lot more lively recently.

After talking with Bo Li for a while, she turned her eyes to the distance again, which was the direction of the Ten Swords Palace. At this time, it was dark there, as usual.

---------

The crowd on the mountain road is like a fire dragon, swimming forward and slowly in the night, and it is getting thicker and longer.

During the period when the Pope was not elected, the church was like a leaderless group, and people from all walks of life became bold. With their intentional or unintentional promotion, more and more people participated in this event.

Hearing the noise outside, the bishops from all over the country who participated in the election meeting also walked out of their residences, overlooking the long flames from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

"Do you want to go down and have a look, my lord?" an accompanying priest asked the elderly bishop in front of him.

"Let's go, let's go and see how Sibes explains it." After speaking, the nearly 70-year-old bishop also set foot on the path among the mountains with the support of the priest beside him.

Outside the Singing Palace, several priests in white robes also looked at the lights in the distance.

"It's incredible, this time," said a woman with light red hair like sunset.

"Let everyone laugh," another blond woman responded, holding a scepter delineated with feathers and musical notes.

"Ilesi don't have to be embarrassed, we definitely won't laugh at you because of this." The woman with red hair said so, and then gave a giggle.

"Among the few sisters we were together, you now have the highest position and extraordinary level, and I am still a Sequence 7."

"Zhu Ya is begging for a fight again, how can you let us Sequence 6 live." Several women next to him also booed.

Although they are not too young, these women used to study together in the holy mountain, and their relationship has always been very good. They come here every two years to gather here. Palace of the Priest of Wands.

"Is Zhu Ya still a bishop in Hopelander?" asked a black-haired woman next to her.

"Yes, life there has been pretty stable, except for that time a few years ago." Zhu Ya responded.

"It was a lot of trouble that time. I heard that several big business guilds in Hoplander went shopping, the fire burned, the ships bombed, the golem swept across, and the whole city was almost smashed. An airship was sent to help out."

"Well, but the right and wrong are also very complicated. Alas, those children were all grown up by me, and there was only one left." Zhu Ya seemed to remember something and sighed a little.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go over and take a look. Maybe the church will change this time." After Zhu Ya finished speaking, he pulled a few people behind him and jumped off the cliff, and then several golden The ball of light rose from the dark night and floated directly in the direction of the Ten Swords Palace.

Inside the Ten Swords Palace, the Flowing Water Palace.

At this moment, the courtyard in the palace has gathered and stood in rows of golden armored guards. They are holding prism shields, dark golden spears, and long swords hanging from their waists. There are about 3,000 people.

"Lord Sibis, I have arranged the guards, please order." A guard captain reported loudly with a solemn expression.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. First, let 2,000 people divide into several teams to protect the Shijian Palace, and the other 1,000 people will stay in the courtyard and support them at any time."

"Don't hurt those who went up the mountain. I know it's difficult, but you have to do it well. If you get hurt tonight, I will send someone to treat and take care of it, and you don't have to worry."

"I'm optimistic about you." After speaking, he read out the names of the captains, and then patted their shoulders to reassure them.

Several people responded loudly, then walked out quickly, and led a team of people to set up defenses in the Ten Swords Palace. Among them, more than 300 priests participated, treating these guards at any time, and even breaking the isolation barrier.

After seeing these people dispersing, Sibis patted the huge seat under him, and then the four guards lifted it up, like a sedan chair in the east, and sent the archbishop to the high platform at the main gate of the Ten Swords Palace. .

Sibbes looked at the people at the bottom, and seeing that everything was in order, he nodded slightly, then sat on the chair, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

He had already anticipated what would happen tonight, and now it was the most critical moment.

Just let me see, I want to see how Odis are going to beat me, if you can't kill me today, then I will make you regret and suffer for the rest of your life.

Under the Ten Swords Palace, the surging crowd walked slowly, and the two sides of the mountain road were also filled with people from all parties who had been waiting for a long time. They waited quietly, preparing to see how this farce tonight would end.
