Blood of Mercury

When Kasaka returned to the Dome Cathedral, he unexpectedly found that it was not too early for him to come back.

To be precise, except for him and the fellow Syrah, the other cardinals have already returned.

After he pushed open the door, he happened to see the Guderian guy walking in with his back to him.

"Lord Guderian!"

Without hesitation, Kasaka called out to the supreme bishop who he hardly ever saw.

As the first bishop in the Church of Tyre after Jupiter IV, Cardinal Guderian did not communicate often with them.

But few people know that this seemingly ordinary and slightly stern old man is actually one of the masterminds behind all the powerful people in Bansa.

It was also after being punished by Jupiter IV that when Guderian came to talk to him, he vaguely touched some shadows of this supreme bishop with a rather weak sense of existence.

Since then, he has been wary of Guderian and paid special attention to his movements.

Casaca noticed that even before Jupiter IV disappeared, Guderian was secretly trying to make contact with some bishops. When other cardinals learned about this one by one through their own channels, Guderian had won the support of the vast majority of bishops and the loyalty of the three cardinals.

It was his unusual behavior that made Kasaka realize that Jupiter IV might be in danger.

However, not only at that time, but even now, he still can't understand what kind of existence can pose a threat to Jupiter IV, so that he kills him and even makes Tyre lose it. contact.

The only thing he knows is that their supreme bishop must know something. Otherwise, he couldn't have pulled the team and prepared to start when Jupiter IV had just left.

The reason why Casaca was so rude at the end of the first round of voting was because he knew that only in the first round of voting when the situation was chaotic, he would have the possibility of a quick attack to directly grab the Pope. protracted war. Regardless of the handle and the benefits it can give, Casaca is at a disadvantage compared to Guderian.

If it is still a normal voting session, then Kasaka and Guderian are naturally competitors, and they are mortal enemies who cannot tolerate each other.

But things are different now.

The country priest named "Roland" who came out of nowhere. As soon as he came to Frankfurt, he used the means of building momentum to directly seize the position of the Pope.

In the past two days, the more Kasaka thought about it, the more wrong he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

- No, Roland is the Pope. In the process of the ring ceremony itself, there is no right, how can it be said that the ring ceremony can be held normally only under his gift?

Moreover, how can there be a saying that the Pope himself presided over the ring ceremony for his dismissal?

In other words, when the Pope personally intervened in the ring ceremony and obtained acquiescence, the ring ceremony had lost its existence. This is equivalent to saying that even if there is nothing special about the Pope, his personality is still enough to lead the Cardinals.

Now, Kasaka knows that his only chance to come back is with all the cardinals. The next pope will be decided before the second vote begins.

In his opinion, it is better for him or Guderian to become the Pope than to let that guy who doesn't know his roots take over the entire Church of Tyre.

Kasaka is very clear - if he wants to come back, the first thing he has to fight for is Guderian.

All cardinals know that the promotion of three cardinals is closely related to Guderian. Those three can be said to belong to Guderian's faction and obey Guderian's orders.

If he can get Guderian's support, then he has at least four votes, plus his own votes. Basically it can be said to be stable.

However, he first had to win Guderian's support——

Hearing Kasaka's call, Guderian turned his head and asked with a gentle smile, "What's wrong. Cardinal Kasaka."

His response immediately made Kasaka stunned, and an alarm bell sounded in his heart.

The supreme bishop in his mind was a man with a gloomy mind and a serious expression, squinting his eyes almost all the time, and with high cheekbones like an eagle. And the moment he turned around before him, Casaca almost thought he saw another Roland.

...Could it be that Roland exercised some kind of control over Guderian's mind?

Reminiscent of the abilities of Jupiter IV. Kasaka suddenly retreated. He began to question his choice just now.

But facing Guderian who looked at him with a smile, Kasaka realized that if he didn't say anything at the moment, he would look abnormal.

He turned his head quickly, and then asked a question without changing his face: "We all know that you are the oldest among us, and a believer second only to the previous Pope. In the name of Tyre, I think May I ask you... what do you think of our new Pope?"

"View? To His Majesty Roland?"

Guderian thought for a moment, and then said something unexpected by Kasaka: "I think he's probably not a good person."

"Oh?"

Kasaka's tone subconsciously rose two beats, and then he immediately realized that his reaction was too obvious, coughed twice, and asked again, "Why do you say this?"

"He's really not a good man. Greedy, ruthless, crazy, sinister - if he were not the Pope, but an ordinary priest, I would have excommunicated him long ago."

Guderian answered seriously.

His words made Kasaka's mood a little excited.

Although he still doesn't quite understand the reason for Guderian's change in temperament, this does not prevent him from winning Guderian's support for his plan.

Kasaka took two more steps and asked, "So, do you think His Majesty Roland is qualified to become the Pope?"

"Then I want to ask you, do you think His Majesty Roland is qualified to be the Pope?"

Guderian asked rhetorically.

There was a slight warning sign in Kasaka's heart~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but he quickly dispelled his thoughts.

Since entering the cathedral, he has felt a sense of ease that makes him weary, which calms his mind but also dulls his thinking.

"I think the opposite of what you think. His Majesty Roland is wise, decisive, powerful and courageous. If it were another person, maybe I would really support him to become the Pope."

"Oh? Then what qualities do you think he is unsatisfied with?"

"Crazy and flamboyant."

Kasaka replied without hesitation: "He's too unstable. He does a lot of things very extravagantly...but it's not necessary at all, but he always does what everyone knows."

Having said that, he suddenly felt a silver-white light flashing in Guderian's eyes, but he looked closely and found that there was no such light.

Probably an illusion.

He comforted himself, who was suddenly a little uneasy. (To be continued.)
