Chapter 1885 Major Events
That night, a jaw-dropping news shocked the entire continent. Pope Melde Fisk Ratlic of the Dark Church was assassinated by unknown people in the room of the Dark Church headquarters. More than ten assassins used some methods to sneak into the Dark Church, and then launched a sudden attack on Pope Ratlic, killing three senior officials of the Holy See, including Pope Ratlic and several guards.
It was the next morning when most of the mainland residents received this news. Everyone was shocked by the news. Unexpectedly, the pope of the Dark Church would be assassinated. Didn’t it mean that the Dark Church would have tens of thousands of Dark Knights, what did they do? And of course the believers of the Dark Church all collapsed, which was like the sky collapsed for them.
Of course, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. Most of the dozen assassins who came were surrounded by the knights of the Dark Knights who arrived behind, but they did not catch the living. A few of them escaped while the few they caught chose to commit suicide when they could not escape. They were completely dead soldiers.
Logically speaking, the security measures at the headquarters of the Dark Church should be very complete. How did these assassins come in? Everyone was a little confused. What they knew was that these assassins were all wearing the armor of the Dark Knights. They looked like they were people in the Dark Knights, but no one seemed to be able to recognize what kind of team they were from.
"Someone must have put them in." Everyone thought of this. If there were no introverts, the possibility of getting these people in was too small. Is there an introvert in the Dark Church? Everyone looked at each other.
The inner responder still can't find it for the time being, and everyone will definitely not admit it. Who will take the blame? However, everyone seems to have the same guess as Li Huailin.
Yes, it was really strange that Pope Rutledge died. It happened that Li Huailin proposed supervision, and the two sides had just discussed the powers of the regulatory authorities. Of course, the discussion was very fierce at that time. Then in the evening, Pope Rutledge died directly. It was a coincidence that no matter who said it, it was Li Huailin's first thought.
But I thought so. But there was no evidence, I didn’t catch any survivors, and there was no direct thing to prove that these assassins were sent by Li Huailin. And now the Dark Church is a little confused because the pope suddenly died and the leader was gone, and of course the situation was a little confused.
"No, we must settle the score with the mainland government. This is definitely what they did, in order to completely control our church." A church elder said excitedly at the emergency meeting.
"Do you plan to fight with them directly?" Another elder immediately said sarcastically, "I said before, how can we fight with others based on our current strength?"
"Does the matter of the Pope just forget it? He can assassinate the Pope today and assassinate us tomorrow. Should we just wait for death here or obey him?"
Originally, there were still many people from the Dark Church who tended to lean towards Li Huailin's side, but they didn't dare to say it directly. After all, the popes here are dead. Can they still say that they want to lean towards Li Huailin's side? Indeed, they are afraid of death and are afraid of losing their current status, but they are also shameless, so they are also very confused at the moment.
And just at the forefront of the storm and all the top leaders of the Dark Church were in chaos, Li Huailin did something that they could not accept. That was, Li Huailin actually sent someone to attend the emergency meeting here.
The person sent was naturally Geerte. After receiving Li Huailin's order yesterday, Geerte stayed here, and waited for Geerte to attend the meeting just morning of the next day. Of course, the reasons were very sufficient. Yesterday, both sides had agreed to establish a regulatory agency. Since this is the case, the mainland government naturally has the right to attend the meeting. You can't just tear the contract just because Pope Ratledge died.
Of course, it makes sense, but all the senior officials of the Dark Church were shocked. The mainland government is too shameless. It is obvious that Pope Ratledge was the one who sent someone to assassinate him. Now you are still swaggering to attend the meeting? Can you not be so shameless?
Of course, although I said that, I really couldn't stop Geerte. I said before that everyone thought that this was done by Li Huailin, but there was no evidence. Even if you say that the mainland government is the murderer, they directly denied it and asked "What about the evidence?" and you have nothing to say. The treaty was indeed signed by Pope Ratledge yesterday. They do have the right to attend high-level meetings (the current determination is only the right to attend, and they have no voting rights), so they can't stop them from coming.
In the complex eyes of a group of senior leaders of the Dark Church, Gerte slowly walked into the conference room and looked at the people with different expressions here. Gerte smiled: "First of all, on behalf of the Mainland government, I express my deep condolences for the tragedy that happened to your church. Pope Ratledge is also one of the people I respect. I didn't expect that these assassins would be so hateful to encounter such misfortune."
"You dare..." An excited elder here wanted to stand up and roar at Gerte, but Bishop Selrod next to him immediately grabbed the other party.
"Elder Seloch, calm down." Bishop Selrod said to the excited elder with his head down, "We have no evidence at the moment, and nothing is useful now."
"Damn it!" Of course, Seloci knew that this was the case, so he waved his hand directly, "You must find evidence."
People around him also saw this scene, but many people shook their heads secretly. Even if you can find evidence, you can't beat others. Even if you find evidence, what can you do to others? Besides, the situation in the mainland government, even if you show evidence, Li Huailin found someone to kill Pope Ratledge, and they insisted on refusing, who would the people on the mainland believe?
Yes, many people calmed down here, thinking about the purpose of Geert's visit and what they should do in the future. Mainland government has taken a ruthless move this time, feeling like an ultimatum.
"Then let's continue the meeting." Gert found a chair next to him and sat down quietly, saying to everyone.
The scene was silent, and everyone was watching Gert. Who would still hold a meeting at this time? It would be impossible to continue the meeting at all.
"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Gerte asked strangely, "It's not that our mainland government only has the right to listen now, so let's hear how you expressed your opinion. Don't care about me, you can continue with the previous topic."
Everyone looked around and continued the previous topic. The previous topic was about whether they should directly turn against the mainland government, and also about finding evidence of the murder of Pope Ratledge in the mainland government. Now you are here, how can they continue to discuss it?
"I think about it, you should have discussed the issue of the new pope before. After all, this is the top priority now." Unexpectedly, Gerte suddenly interrupted.
"New Pope!" Everyone was shocked. Yes, they immediately understood what Gerte meant. The other party's target was the new Pope. After all, there was such an example in the Church of Light before. Is this going to make their own people the new Pope?
"Now is not the time to discuss the new pope." Seloci couldn't help but stand up and said to Gerte, "The Pope's body is not cold and the mastermind has not been caught. How can we discuss the new pope now?"
"Oh? Didn't I hear that the assassin is from the Dark Knights? Why is there a mastermind? Who is the mastermind?" asked Gert.
"You!" Selochi pointed at Gerte so angry that he couldn't speak. He really wanted to say "It's you guys." But Selochi next to him pulled Selochi down again, "Elder Selochi, stop talking."
"I think the new pope is more important." Gert ignored Seloci and continued to say to everyone, "Even if you say you want to capture any mastermind, you must first choose a pope to arrange and command the entire church. Otherwise, how can you catch people in such chaos?"
The scene was quiet again. Yes, no one knew what to say. No one dared to express his attitude immediately. Supporting Gert now is apostate, which is a bit miserable, but opposing Gert is that he offended the Mainland Mansion. They may all be incorporated in the future. Offending the Mainland Mansion now may be seeking death. So under the current circumstances, no one dared to express his position immediately.
"What's wrong with you? Am I wrong?" Gert looked around and asked, "According to the information we have received now, the person who is most suitable for the Dark Church to take over the position of the Pope in the dark church should be the black-robed bishop Rogamp, right? I heard a lot of people say that Bishop Rogamp has received the support of most of the congregations, and I think Bishop Rogamp is good."
"Logamp?" Everyone's eyes turned to Bishop Luogamp sitting next to him. Everyone knew that if the next pope really wanted to choose, Bishop Selrod, why did he come to your side? Could it be...
Yes, most people understand that this Luo Gamp must be someone who is in contact with the mainland government, otherwise how can they support you? Could it be that... you are the ones inside? The death of the Pope is also related to you?
