Chapter 111 Rest Time (Twenty-Two) (Update Completed)

The rumor that the Pope was going to exile some priests and residents was flying everywhere.

Although the Privy Council came out in time to clarify that this was just a rumor, it was unable to appease the restless people. The nobles who controlled some middle-level political institutions fanned the flames and planted the seeds of panic.

Although it is not guaranteed that everyone in the Holy City will have enough food and clothing, it will not happen that people will starve to death.

In this broken world, this is also a rare paradise.

Ji Lin sat in the coffee shop he came to on the first day, with milk tea in front of him and the most widely sold newspapers in the city in his hands. These newspapers helped him understand the various current events in the Holy City of Teran.

Let him have some entertainment in his spare time.

As the Pope's assistance development plan was announced, this plan seemed to indirectly confirm the exile spread in the previous rumors. The coverage of this plan far exceeded the previous preaching operations of the church sending a small number of people. The resources and personnel mobilization involved were astronomical figures.

There was only one problem to be solved, people.

Where to select people?

Plants growing in the greenhouse trembled when they saw the biting cold wind.

Few people wanted to leave the greenhouse and grow in disaster.

With the instigation of the noble faction, there were more than a few priests who were terrified by the development plan, and they fiercely opposed this plan. On the contrary, the priests from the lower class did not show much opposition to this plan because the road to promotion was bumpy.

With the fierce quarrel, the spearhead was gradually directed at the Privy Council and the Pope himself.

No one dared to question the existence of the commandments, because there really was divine magic in this world, so they directed their target to the person who explained the commandments.

The Pope.

‘We ask the Pope to show the original commandments to everyone. It is the original of our church, and we also have the right to read it. ’

Only the Pope in history can access the original commandments.

“Really...”

Ji Lin shook his head and turned the news to the daily fables at the back.

He had not actually experienced such political turmoil, but the historical experience from Blue Star told him that there must be a reason for abnormal things.

The contradictions intensified too quickly. It had only been less than five days since he arrived here, and the contradictions of the Holy Advent Sect had already intensified to this extent.

He knew with his own ass that there were a group of people behind this who were fanning the flames.

They chose the day before the Holy Day celebration, which was quite disrespectful to the church.

Those who proposed to read the original text of the commandments might not really want to read the original text of the commandments. They took two steps forward and one step back, forcing concessions.

But those who escalated this incident were simply seeking their own death. According to the power structure that Ji Lin knew, the highest political and military power was almost extremely concentrated in the Pope.

Another sense of dictatorship.

If they wanted to target the Pope, they would really... be ignorant of life and death.

Wait, I seem to be on the side of the Pope?

Ji Lin looked at Alicia, who was sitting opposite him. The other party was shaking her calves slightly and tasting the cream strawberry cake on the table.

The light silver hair hung down and swayed in the sunlight of the first day. The soft light reflected on her cheeks, making her skin look even whiter.

Noticing Ji Lin's gaze, he cut a small piece of the cream cake in front of him with a silver knife, poked it with a fork and handed it to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin ate it in one bite.

Moreover, this assistance development plan, in the densely packed clauses, means that 'as long as they are willing to believe in them, they can assist in sending people and resources to help build'.

Inexplicably familiar.

Ji Lin has already purchased all the items he can think of at present, but the procurement plan is a little overspent.

Overspent 100%.

The purchase that was originally planned to be solved with 1,000 gold has now cost 2,000 gold.

In addition to purchasing mechanical clocks, rune lamps were also purchased. These beautiful quartz blocks are engraved with simple rune loops, and then fixed with iron wire rings, which can be called rune lamps.

The brightness is about the same as that of a 15-watt light bulb, barely enough to illuminate a 10-square-meter room.

Solving the lighting problem can ensure the safety and efficiency of night work, and he can also make use of the time after sunset.

Ji Lin saw a well-dressed man led by a male priest to the cake shop. They talked for a while, and the male priest stood outside the door and let the man in.

No one comes to the temple for no reason. This man is obviously not a priest, and he is troublesome no matter how you look at him.

As soon as the other party entered the cake shop, he went straight to Alicia, ignoring Ji Lin who was sitting opposite Alicia, interrupting the communication that Ji Lin wanted to have with her.

Well-dressed and arrogant.

"Miss Alicia, can you please come to my house for a party?"

"No time."

Alicia shook her head without showing any expression.

And the noble priest continued to ask questions relentlessly, as if he could not see the rejection of others at all.

"Cardinal Oren will also come, can you please..."

"My schedule is full."

Alicia declined.

Until then, the noble priest focused his attention on Ji Lin who was slowly stirring the coffee in his hand, with strong jealousy and envy in his eyes.

After confirming that Ji Lin did not have any family crests on him and was not a priest, he did not face Alicia's humility and gave him his orders in a haughty tone.

"If I invite you to go too..."

The recent smooth sailing has gone to his head. The things he has done recently are so successful that his fellow nobles are jealous of him...or maybe he is just so stupid.

He looked so well-dressed that one really wanted to punch him in the face.

"I have a question for you, are you one of them?"

Ji Lin took out the newspaper and pointed at the message above that some people from the Shenglin sect wanted to see the original code of commandments.

This is an extremely strong accusation.

The noble priest, the second-in-command of the Shenglin sect, did not refute, and did not even understand the meaning of Ji Lin's words.

Ji Lin shook his head at Alicia.

After two consecutive rounds of rejection, this sudden episode finally passed.

The noble priest leaves.

The noble priest became very angry when he thought that they didn't care about him. He was now in the limelight and had a tendency to surpass Antonio to become the leader of the Holy Adventist Sect. No matter who came, he would be polite to him.

But it doesn't matter, he will one day become the most powerful person in the city. Even the Pope will commit himself to having dinner with him, and the bishops will bow to him.

The aristocratic priest took a deep breath. He thought that he was a chess player, and a free move in his busy schedule would be successful or not.

If Alicia can be invited to the banquet and the video of the other party is recorded, there will be a lot of room for manipulation, and then there will be means to alienate her. Just as he wanted to do to Cardinal Oren, he had used the same method of alienation against other priests.

He has always been a master of chess and cards, and he is ready to spend his whole life achieving himself. He has easily obtained power and status that others cannot imagine, and he wants to go one step further...go further.

"You said that if I take you to find her, you will take me to the dinner party..."

If Ji Lin were here, he would probably recognize this priest as the male priest he took him to the city hall to talk to before, one of Alicia's many admirers.

The noble priest gave him an unlucky look and asked him to follow him.

He had assumed countless ways the church could respond to his and their group's choices, and every method was already in his mind.

This is going to be a long chess game.

————————

"Sorry...to interrupt your party a little bit."

Oren strode into the meeting place of the nobles. He did not arrive in the way the nobles wanted to see. He was no longer wearing the red robe of the cardinal, but the heavy armor of the Skitarii.

The evidence is complete, so there is no need to keep them from disturbing the holy day celebrations tomorrow.

Skitarii wearing heavy combat armor carefully squeezed in from behind him through the small crack in the door. Their huge bodies made the door that could accommodate normal people seem so small.

Oren took out a piece of letter paper from the gap in the armor and read hundreds of names and their family code names in succession.

"If you intend to harm Teran, please stand still and wait for arrest."

Oren held the heavy gun in his hand and said to the noble priests who were standing there blankly.

"Those who resist and disobey will be killed."

They didn't expect that the other party would just pick up the chessboard and smash it over their faces, smashing everything they had together.
