Blood of Mercury

"I have seen your demands and your wishes... I know exactly what you are expecting and what you are waiting for."

With a dignified gesture, Roland gently said words that made the cardinals desperate.

However, under the almost desperate eyes of the cardinals, Roland suddenly changed his words: "Then, I will give you what you want."

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

"No doubt."

Roland sat upright on the Pope's seat with his hands on his knees solemnly, his face solemn: "I said, I am the incarnation of the sun, I am the incarnation of justice, you don't have to be hesitant. Do what you want, do it, Like I'm not here."

"...But, but you've..."

"Don't you understand yet?"

Roland interrupted Guderian's words: "Well, let me be more explicit."

"I, Roland. The first holy commandment that Saint Laurent I issued after I took office was to remove myself from power and reopen the ring ceremony."

Roland casually uttered words that caused everyone to fall into complete consternation.

"Go ahead. There are still nine days left for this ring ceremony, so just follow this ring ceremony and carry it out completely. If you think anyone can replace me, choose him."

Roland pointedly said: "No matter what the final result is, everything is Tyre's choice"

After saying that, he got up and walked outside the house.

Roland's leather boots stepped on the soft red carpet and on the marble floor of the empty front hall, making a hollow and distant sound.

Slow, step-by-step footsteps came crisply. Knock on the hearts of the cardinals, bringing increasing pressure.

However. Roland had clearly passed them and walked to the other side, but all the cardinals still did not dare to look up. It was as if some invisible pressure was holding down their heads, and even their necks became stiff.

"During these nine days, I'll stay on the top floor and pray quietly. If you're all right, don't come to me, and I don't need food." Roland turned his back to them, and suddenly said at the door of the room, "I don't restrict you either. Move around, you can get out of here as much as you can. Go to every corner of Banza and think about words that are enough to convince others."

"You have many themes. Plague, war, death, famine... But you only have three days. In short, after three days, I will meet you at the round table in the main hall and preside over the ring ceremony for you."

"At that time, I hope you can give me a perfect answer... so that I can clearly understand that you have not been studying how to buy and sell the priesthood for the past three years, but you have been thinking seriously about how to become a qualified Cardinal."

After that, Roland pushed the door and left without hesitation.

The moment Roland's voice fell, the air stagnant in the air began to flow again. The cardinals breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the cardinals are still afraid to speak out. A strange pressure pressed against their throats, making their voices hoarse like a whisper.

Half a minute after Roland left, the terrifying pressure completely dissipated in the air.

The cardinals stood up from the ground in disbelief. Several of them even had their fingers trembling.

"Heh... Now, are you still sure you have a chance of winning?"

The corners of Kasaka's mouth were pulled apart with difficulty, revealing a disdainful smile. Cold sweat slowly dripped from his temples.

Guderian, who was staring directly at him, had a stiff expression, and his fingers couldn't even bend.

He was the closest person to Roland just now. Therefore, it is also the person who feels the most clearly.

Behind Roland, there was indeed a vague golden figure floating. Just like the phantom behind Jupiter IV.

Even more pressure than the phantom behind Jupiter IV. From this point of view, Roland I is a much more powerful pope than Jupiter IV. In this chaotic age, he is probably the only one who can bring hope to the believers of Tyre.

So, do you still want to oppose him?

Guderian did hesitate.

From the inner feeling, he is still a little reluctant to spend a lot of time and private property for the Pope. However, he did not dare to go against Roland.

They were wrong from the start. Under the handsome face of the young Pope, hidden under the petite body is undoubtedly a cold and sharp soul.

He is not a docile sheep from the countryside, but a monster with sharp claws and venomous fangs. Just like their Queen. It's the same kind of madness and resoluteness, not to be questioned, not to be fooled, not to be molested.

"Indeed...it was my fault."

Guderian lowered his head and took a deep breath, as if feeling cold, his whole body trembled slightly.

"I suggest... let's obey His Holiness Pope's orders. But I hope you can distinguish one thing," Guderian's slender mouth rose slightly, revealing an eagle smile, "I hope that you will not Stupid enough to expect that His Holiness the Pope will really step down for us and do something about it."

Unexpectedly, after Guderian's voice fell, everyone did not have any special reaction, as if they did not think so.

But Guderian can guarantee that, including him, at least half of the twelve people at the moment have some inappropriate ideas about the position of the Pope. The reason why they didn't expose it was because they wanted to exert their strength at the last moment and win the final victory in one fell swoop.

But just in case, Guderian had to be born to remind them: "I advise you not to be delusional. Do you see our young majesty like the kind of person who will hand over his power to others? Obviously, This is an assessment and a trap."

As soon as he said this, someone's eyes moved slightly.

Obviously, someone already understood what Guderian meant.

Guderian nodded solemnly: "That's right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You think about it, if you are a certain bishop, and you are assigned to a rich diocese as a district bishop, the first thing you do is What is it?"

"...If it were me, I would first find the bishop here who most wants to be the district bishop."

Ossis hesitated for a while, then replied in a low voice.

Guderian nodded with satisfaction: "That's right."

"His Majesty is obviously looking for the most restless person among us. In this case, whoever gets the most votes means that his prestige is the highest among us, and he will be the first person to be dealt with by His Majesty. There's a situation that can keep us where we are now..."

"...sufficiently excellent ability, and not a harmonious internal relationship."

Kasaka took Guderian's words and said softly: "We need to split the votes. As much as possible, but not too obvious."

"Come on guys, we have to get things settled before we leave here" (To be continued.)
