A flash of lightning teared the sky, and the sound of bursting thunder sounded among the mountains, and the raindrops as big as beans rushed to fall rapidly, hitting the dome, eaves, windows, tree canopies, and the ground.

Heavy rain poured from the sky, and the thick raindrops were like hard city walls.

Splashes of water splashed on the ground, dense sounds covered everything, the soil splashed with the rain, and a fishy smell of earth appeared in the air.

Although it is so noisy, it suddenly makes people feel a little quiet.

Knights of the Holy Lark Headquarters.

It was raining outside the window, and rain flowers splashed on the windowsill, and the subtle drops of water were blown into the room like fog, making people feel a little cool.

There were six people sitting next to the table in the Knights' Hall, of which Odith was in the upper front, with three people on both sides, and Ferrara was also among them.

"Has any news been heard from the Ten Sword Palace recently?" Odith asked.

"No, Sipis has been staying there, never going out, nor responding to what happened a few days ago." A thousand-riding chief replied.

"It seems that he is planning to leave this matter open and deal with it slowly when the heat is over." A knight analyzed this.

"But won't this affect his reputation?" said a certain Qianqin cavalry captain.

"Maybe people don't care. Sipis has been in the church for many years and has woven a rich network of interests by relying on the relationship between students, colleagues, former and juniors. These allies will not change their positions because of this small incident and reputation damage. And the real votes in the general election are not ordinary monks and nuns, but bishops who hold authority and the top leaders of the twelve palaces."

"Then this will be a little unfavorable to us. We were expecting him to do something." A thousand-rider sighed.

"Maybe he himself realized that no matter what he said at this time, it would be wrong to explain it."

There are quite a few riders in the Knights of the Holy Spear, but the real ones who are Odith are the ones in front of him. If Sipis is the business model of casting a wide net and making multiple layouts, then Odith is a hardcore supporter who focuses on a few but elites.

These Thousand Cavaliers and their subordinates are the kind of people who can really live and die for him, which also makes him feel particularly at ease.

The pope election will begin early next month, including bishops of churches in various places, senior officials of the twelve houses, captains of the three major Knights, and the captains of the Thousand-member teams of the three major Knights.

It is also worth mentioning that the ruling department has no voting rights, which is a kind of constraint and protection. They will supervise the process of the general election and do not have to stand on the sidelines for this.

In terms of votes, the bishops of churches in various places account for about 70% of the votes, while the twelve houses account for about 20%, and the three major knights account for 10%. Although the bishops account for a large number, the factions are very scattered and unclear. They have more or less connections with the twelve houses in the church and know the current situation, but their position is not firm.

"But it's not completely ineffective. At least many bishops from other places have recently visited the delegation leader to reconsider the subsequent vote."

Several of them talked about their recent situation.

"How is Bines going on recently?" Odis asked suddenly.

"Article Bishop Bines has been staying in Aquarius Palace as usual recently and has no special actions. But something interesting happened a few days ago."

"Oh, what's the matter?" The others became interested.

"It is said that a new member of the Judgment Department wanted to enter the inner palace but was stopped by the guards, but she took out the badge of the Judgment Department."

"Haha, it's really interesting. She's probably not old and I don't know what this means."

"People in the Judgment Division generally do not show their logos and badges easily. Once they are shown, they must have real evidence and are ready to kill people."

"I guess those guards were also angry and funny. Later, because she was not old, she didn't specifically pursue it."

"What happened after that?"

"After that? It seemed that the nun was pulled into the inner palace and preached for a while before he was released."

"But it's also up to this matter. Recently, many people secretly speculate whether there is something wrong with Bines and that they will be brought to the door by the ruling department. This is not a good signal."

"But it's a good signal for us. Bines is originally very experienced. Although she has the strength of Sequence 9, she has not been promoted for a few years and is still unstable. In this way, it will give me peace of mind to deal with Sibis."

"Compared with the simple Bines, the cunning Sipis is much harder to deal with. He will be the biggest obstacle for Lord Odith to run for the Pope." Several knight commanders analyzed the current primary goal.

"But he has been dealing negatively recently, which has left us with no good solutions for a while."

"That's it." A knight captain raised his hand. This man was Ferrera, who recommended himself to Odith some time ago.

"If the fire is not big enough, then add another fire. Then a huge public opinion will be formed. Let's see which bishop dares to stand on the side of Sipis." He said slowly, then tightly grasping the palms covering the steel armor.

A few days later, more bad news about Sipis was heard in the Holy Mountain, including those who said he was raising a living **, some said he bullied the widow, some said he suppressed his former teacher, some said he cheated during the pastor's assessment, etc.

The vivid descriptions of these rumors have attracted various attention in the ordinary church in daily life. Even these clergy who cultivate the mind sometimes can't help but discuss in a low voice after dinner, and their scope has spread more and more widespread, and even began to spread from headquarters to branches in various places.

"Hey, have you heard about Archbishop Sipis recently." After the weekdays, two young monks sat on the stone to rest. At this time, one of them suddenly mentioned the recent news.

"Which thing you are talking about? I have heard a lot of news recently. I didn't expect that the big guy above would be such a thing."

"Haha, who isn't it? But he has been exposed recently. In my opinion, there are probably many bishops who act like this."

Although these rumors describe many details, most of them are the past events of the past, and the parties and deeds are hidden in time. Even if Sipis himself defends it, it is very difficult. The widespread public does not care about the truth or the falsehood, they only care about whether it is interesting or not.

———

Ten sword palaces, flowing water inner palace.

Sibis was still sitting on a bench beside the pool water, eating sweet and crispy berries, listening to the people below reporting on various recent rumors.

"Haha, it's really interesting." His fat and white face could not see an angry expression, but instead mocked him.

"If Odis's armed forces raid and arrest me first and then trial, I'm still a little worried. But now, it's really interesting to want to defeat me just because of these."

It’s like a knight who is good at using spears suddenly changes his career, trying to use words to make people collapse and surrender, abandon his strengths, and use his weaknesses to fight an experienced opponent.

Sipis called two attendants, told them to give orders in their ears, and then asked them to leave the palace.

A few days later, there were more and more rumors about Sipis, and it became more and more bizarre. From the beginning, he messed with men and women, to the later he coerced the queen of a certain family to let his children replace the prince. Later, it was even rumored that he even made a fake role in Sequence 8, pretending to be a special creation, etc.

Recently, there was another incident, saying that he deliberately drove the same group of pastors who entered the Lance Palace to a remote church in the mountains, and had been struggling to survive for decades. The genius of that year is still in Sequence 3, which is very sad.

At the same time, more and more people began to shout, demanding that the ruling department thoroughly investigate Sibis, suspend him from his post and detain him, and deprive him of all rights.

At this time, more people began to shout and march in the holy mountain, and their scale was even larger than before.

In the Aquarius Palace, the bedroom with sunset slanting sunset.

The golden afterglow fell on the white sheets, covering half of a silver-haired girl.

Lorran Hill was sitting at the head of the bed, spreading out the clothes that had just been collected from outside, then slowly folded them and placed them neatly at the head of the bed.

After a while, the door suddenly opened.

"Roxier."

Boli ran in excitedly, she grabbed the silver-haired girl's hand and said excitedly: "Don't fold the clothes first, let's go out and have a look. Today, something big will happen in the Holy Mountain."

"What's wrong?" Although Lolan Hill answered, she folded the nun's clothes in her hand before she stood up.

"A big thing happened, and many people walked towards the Ten Sword Palace with torches. It is said that they wanted to seek justice and defeat the evil Archbishop of Sipis."

She said as she pulled the girl outward and walked towards the mountain path.

The sky is getting late. The sun has set, and only the blue and purple sunset is still faintly in the sky.

The mountain road under Aquarius Palace was crowded with people, and they were noisy and boiling. Many people held torches to illuminate the surroundings, and then slowly moved forward with the flow of people. It seemed that there were at least a few thousand people.

“Removing Sipis’ post!”

"He is not worthy!"

"Little man!"

"The scum of the church!"

Some of them looked resentful and shouted loudly, while others were full of excitement and curiosity, following behind, preparing to see how the matter ended.

"Let's follow too." Boli is not afraid of high school when watching the show.

"Don't get too close, just look from a distance." Lorran Hill shook her head, she felt that things were not easy tonight.

"Okay, I'll listen to the Chief Lord."

"It was only then that I remembered that I was the chief of the college." Lolan Hill touched Bolly's head with some anger. This junior girl seemed to have become much more lively recently.

After talking to Boli for a few minutes, she turned her gaze to the distance again, which was the direction of the Ten Sword Palace. At this time, it was dark, as usual.

------------

The crowd on the mountain road was like a fire dragon, swimming slowly in the night, and it became thicker and longer.

During the period when the Pope was not elected, the church was like a leaderless person, and people from all walks of life became bolder. With their intentional or unintentional push, more and more people participated in this incident.

Hearing the noise outside, bishops from all over the country who participated in the election conference also walked out of their residences and overlooked the long dragon of flames from the foot of the mountain to the hillside.

"Do you want to go and see, sir?" a accompanying pastor asked the elderly bishop in front of him.

"Let's go and see how Sipis explains it." After saying that, the bishop, who was nearly 70 years old, also embarked on the path among the mountains with the support of the pastor.

Outside the Palace of Songs, several priests in white robes also looked at the lights in the distance.

"It's amazing, this time." said a woman with a light red hair like sunset.

"It makes everyone laugh." Another blonde woman responded, holding a scepter with feathers and musical notes in her hand.

"Ilace doesn't have to be embarrassed. We will definitely not joke about you because of this." The woman with red hair said this, and then she giggled again.

"Among the sisters we were together, now you are the highest in position and extraordinary level. I am still in Sequence 7."
