Chapter 358: Pope Delt

The hierarchy within the Holy See of Saint Ether, although not as strict as the noble nobles, is also different.
With the development and growth of the Holy See of Saint Ether, the internal structure began to move closer to the clear hierarchy of the nobility of the lord, especially the targeted object-the cardinal of Saint George, who was notoriously paying attention to this.
"Abiding by the oath is not in conflict with participating in the celebration for His Majesty the Pope. Your Excellency, Bishop Enoch, hasn't the same to dispel barriers and come here in person?" Cardinal St. George didn't directly counterattack, but said something meaningful. .
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so stop playing Liao Zhai.
Everyone knows why they are here.
His Majesty Delt has been in power for a whole century, which means that he is old enough, even as a double peak, he has passed the most glorious period of his life, and his physical strength has entered a serious decline.
Both the champion knight and the warlock have a longer life than ordinary people, but they are far from being immortal.
According to historical data, the longest-lived sorcerer has only lived to be 172 years old, and this year, His Majesty Delter has reached the ranks of longevity.
There is a common phenomenon in this kind of life extension due to practice.
That is, when the body is at its peak, the body ages very slowly, and many champion knights and master warlocks will maintain an appearance for decades.
Nidia, the elder of the crocodile tribe, is more than 130 years old, but looks younger than an ordinary woman in her 50s or 60s.
But once they enter a period of decline, their internal and external aging rate will be much faster than ordinary people, usually no more than twenty years.
Although Pope Delt created a lot of unprecedented brilliance, it seems that there is no way to continue to cast brilliance on this. His body has begun to show signs of aging, and the time for the true god's call is getting closer.
In the past decade or so, Pope Delter has delegated power and authority, and most of the affairs of the dioceses have been handed over to the cardinals.
What does this mean, I don’t need to say more?
That's right.
It is the change of power.
And very special rights change.
Whether it is the royal family or the ordinary nobles, the change of rights follows the rules of blood inheritance. There are strict and strict laws for the first and second heirs. Anyway, it is the father's inheritance. Sons, descendants and grandchildren, even if there are problems in the intermediate links, most of them are power struggles within the family, and there are very few cases of power loss.
The Holy See of Saint Ether is different. Its rights are not hereditary, but are elected from cardinals.
There are many reasons for this situation.
There are two main points.
The first point is naturally because it is a belief organization, and the God of Truth is its true master. Even the Pope exists to serve God. It is just one of the many servants who will be the true shepherd, at least in name. in this way.
Whether he can sit in this position is naturally not because of the noble blood, but whether the faith is pious.
However, belief is difficult to quantify, so it is generally reflected in how much you have contributed to the true and the Holy See, and how many believers have supported and recognized it.
The second point is that although the Holy See of Saint Ether does not prohibit marriage, many devout believers will take the oath of cleanliness and devote their lives to their gods. This situation is more common at higher levels.
His Majesty Pope Delt did not take the oath of cleansing, but his son did.
What's even more regrettable is that his son has not been able to awaken to become the favored one, nor can he enter the field of champion knight, half a century ago, he has already died.
In this case, the election system is more reliable than the hereditary system, and it is not prone to stalls and chaos.
When Pope Delt had just entered the senile period, the Holy See from the top to the bottom did not seem to realize this.
Because he has been in power for too long, so many people have forgotten that the Pope still has a transposition until he begins to take the initiative to delegate power.
The cardinals suddenly realized this, and the initial panic can be imagined.
As time goes by, Pope Delter's body is getting worse, competition becomes more and more fierce, and the Holy See of Saint Ether is in a state of turbulence.
The regent princess Sophie Liya's land liquidation against the Holy See of Saint Ether was carried out under this political background. Pope Delter acquiesced in this matter at the time, which involved very complicated interest considerations.
Due to the high degree of overlap between the main body of the Holy See of Saint Ether and the royal family of Lancelot, the core is in the plains of Asia Minor. In the past half a century, due to the land, the conflict between the two sides has been fierce. Because of this trouble, it will be a matter of time.
Pope Delt is not only a devout believer, but also a qualified politician. He knows this very well. He can use the power he has built over the past century to forcefully suppress this matter.
But what about after being called by the true God?
At that time, even if the change of power goes smoothly and the Holy See of Saint Ether is in chaos, it is still inevitable.
At that time, the Princess Regent was in her prime of life, and her political skills would become more mature, and her ambitions would become greater. At that time, she would not take back her own part of the problem from the Holy See. She might take the opportunity to tear her flesh.
Instead of this, it is better to solve this problem while you are in power, the young princess will not do too much, even if there is a problem, she can live in shock.
The fact is also true. The liquidation of the land of the Holy See by the Lancelot royal family is mostly a loss of future interests, and it has not had much impact on the Holy See as a whole.
The anger of the believers due to the damage to their interests was all led to the Lancelot royal family by Pope Delt, who was so savage, and portrayed the Holy See as innocent victims just like them.
The success of any political skill will not be a unilateral cause.
The first glorious thing the regent princess did back then was no exception. Just didn't know that she was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers? Or did he look at this, knowing that Pope Delt would compromise because of this concern?
If it is the former, it can only be said that her luck is against the sky, and at the right time, she did the right thing and achieved the ultimate success.
If it is the latter, it would be a bit against the sky.
Since then, the relationship between these cardinals has become very tense, especially those who are recognized as the strongest competitors for the next pope.
Right now these two cardinals, who are full of gunpowder with one mouth, are among the strongest competitors.
Cardinal Enoch’s qualifications are old enough. Although there is no commendable glorious thing in his life, there is no big mistake. He is known for his prudent behavior. The responsible diocese is also the core area of ​​the royal capital Valesta, and the number of supporters is natural. A lot.
Saint George is a famous genius, born in the Holy See, raised in the Holy See, and has many resumes at a young age. His life trajectory is similar to that of Pope Delt in many places, and he is only a child of prophecy.
That's the case. There is still a second Delter statement within the Holy See. This can be seen from the fact that you can put the holy characters in front of your name after just over fifty.
There is no such qualification if there is no corresponding merit and consistent words and deeds for decades.
Compared to Cardinal Enoch, the only thing he lacks is probably his management and qualifications in the diocese.
Therefore, he looked for another shortcut and wanted to solve the consular end of the Manyu Army and allow the Holy See to settle in a large scale as a qualification to help him reach the top.
Where did he think that there were too many forces that looked at the leader of the Man Yu Army, and now it has become a rotten swamp, dragging him down there.
"His Excellency, Bishop George, please, Your Majesty the Pope." A papal attendant trot over.
Originally Cardinal Enoch didn't feel much, but St. George cast a glance at him intentionally or unintentionally, provoking his anger, and couldn't help asking: "I came first. Why did His Majesty the Pope summon him first?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know, Your Excellency, I am only carrying out your majesty's order." The pope's attendant said apologetically, "If the Pope summons you, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Humph!" Cardinal Enoch snorted, turned aside and didn't continue to talk. When he asked, he already regretted it, because it didn't change anything, on the contrary it made him even more embarrassed.
"Your Majesty is waiting for you in the oracle hall. Please also ask the bishop to enter by yourself." The pope's attendant took St. George to a quaint door.
This gate is not big, but the shape is simple and full of history, and it is engraved with various mysterious patterns.
If Grand Duke Buck, the contemporary Patriarch of the Kingsley family, is here, you will find that this gate and the battle artifact storage room of the Kingsley family’s catacombs have the same work but different tunes. The flashes above are all spell energy fluctuations. .
It's just that the energy of the gate magic of the Kingsley family's catacombs is biased towards the earth element, and this one in front of it is a pure light element, standing in front of it, there is an illusion of invisible, as if the secrets of the heart have been illuminated.
This gate in the Holy See is also famous, called the Eye of the True God.
As the name implies, in front of it, everyone has nothing to hide, especially those sinners, many of whom confess their sins directly in front of it.
What made his reputation spread far is that he has unearthed a lot of unpredictable people for the Holy See.
The shadow of the famous tree.
Anything that is spread too much, the fake will give people a strong psychological pressure, not to mention that the pattern engraved on this gate is related to the magical energy, and it is more mysterious.
In addition, there is a ghost in my heart, so I suddenly come here, maybe I really don't confess.
It is not the first time that Saint George has stood in front of the Eye of the True God, but it is the first time that a sense of strangeness has emerged. Although it is fleeting, he is still keenly grasped by him. He can't help but ask himself whether he has selfishness. Up?
What I do is for the Holy See, I am fearless.
Saint George once again strengthened his heart and told himself silently in his heart.
Including the fight for the position of the Pope, it is not for selfishness, but to ensure the prosperity of the Holy See.
It would be a disaster to the Holy See if the power fell to Enoch, who was entangled with the Lancelot royal family and had more politicians than beliefs.
Saint George believes that his belief in the true and his affection for the Holy See are unmatched in his contemporaries.
While others were addicted to vanity, he was learning everything about the Holy See.
When they sink into the ocean of power, he is working hard for the expansion of the Holy See.
Saint George didn't show the strangeness in his heart, and used his clothes as a cover.
In the eyes of the Pope's attendant, this is the emphasis on the Pope's call.
St. George clicked the door gently.
As soon as the knock on the door sounded, there was a response sound from inside, "The door is open, come in." There was an old voice that could not be concealed.
St. George pushed the door in, and a stronger spell energy rushed towards his face. The pure light energy gave people the illusion that they couldn’t open their eyes, but this feeling didn’t last long, and he quickly adapted to it. .
No loss is the closest place to God, the power of God is so strong.
No wonder it’s easier to hear the true God’s voice here compared to other places.
Seeing the surrounding situation clearly, St. George couldn't help being taken aback and lost his voice: "Your Majesty the Pope, you are..."
The last time we met, Pope Delt had already shown his old attitude, but it was not particularly obvious from his prime of his forties to his 70s or 80s.
But at this time, Pope Delter's hair and beard were all white, his skin was loose, and his age spots were densely covered. From the inside to the outside, he exudes a decadent aura. In the memory of Saint George, the straight waist also appeared curved. The peak of the double material is simply unimaginable.
"Don't be sad, my child, you should be happy for me. I am one step closer to the true god. This is something I have dreamed of for many years. I will reunite with my family by the true god. They must be anxious. "The voice of Pope Delt has a kindness that can't be described in words, and it feels like a familiar family.
His voice recognition is quite high, just hearing the voice, the image of the benevolent elderly will jump into his mind.
There is usually a certain difference in voice and appearance.
Most of them look far inferior to the kind of imagination brought by the sound, which creates a feeling of disappointment.
Pope Delt belongs to that small group. From the outline of his appearance, it can be seen that he must be very handsome when he was young.
The current old man not only didn't cut points for him, but added points. It fits well with the kindness in the voice, and there is a feeling that he has come out of imagination.
Pope Delt obviously knew what St. George was surprised, but he was not angry, but calmly returned to comfort him.
"But... but too soon." St. George was still a little unable to accept the Pope who was as kind as his father, and was about to leave him forever.
"Anything needs to pay a price, including listening to the voice of God, I am considered a longevity." Pope Delter did not entangle this issue ~EbookFREE.me~ instead asked an unrelated question, "You are right How much do Lord Yong Ye and Baron Sean know?"
"Leader Yongye and Baron Sean?" St. George was taken aback, and it took a few seconds to react.
Why did Pope Delt suddenly pay attention to that alien barbarian?
Even though Yong Yejun was led by the champion, he still couldn't change his status as a barbarian.
He is still a real joke in the Byron League.
Although the Man Yu Army led the complicated political structure, there were always their presence, but St. George did not take them to heart.
Like most people, St. George's gaze on the leader of the Evernight did not jump out.
In the army of Manyu, he regarded Viscount Philip and Countess Angelbeina as his biggest rivals, and the Lancelot royal family and the witch secret gathering behind them.
However, given that Pope Delter asks questions himself, things must not be easy, and if he answers this way, it would be too stupid.
