"What, you actually want us to agree to the other party's supervision, you are an apostate!" Everyone was shocked. In fact, many people also had a little bit of idea, but no one dared to say anything here. But Lugpu actually said it in such an open and aboveboard manner, his courage was really a bit big. Naturally, no matter what the reason was, everyone immediately began to accuse Lugpu of being a traitor, in order to show their loyalty to the church.
"Everyone, calm down." Lugpu calmly waved his hand, then turned towards Pope Rutledge. He looked at the Pope, sure enough, the Pope's self-restraint was the best. Hearing his words, the Pope didn't say anything, just looked at him with his eyes, asking for an explanation.
"Your Majesty the Pope, although the other party is a bit worried that we will mobilize our believers, but in fact, everyone is aware of the situation. If the believers want to mobilize, it won't be a matter of a day and a night, and if the other party directly sends an army, I reckon that we will be killed by the other party before we can mobilize our people. At that time, even if our believers riot, what's the use? If we, the backbone of the church, are no longer there, can the Dark Church still exist? "Lugpu said. What he said was righteous, but he actually said that the fear of death was for the righteousness of the Dark Church, making everyone present a bit unable to bear it.
Naturally, no one refuted him. Everyone didn't want to die, so naturally, they couldn't say that they were afraid of death, so they could only say that they couldn't die for the church.
"Therefore, we actually have no choice now. If we directly start the war, we will lose without a doubt. At present, we can only agree to the other party's proposal. " Lugpu said, "But, although we agree to this proposal, it doesn't mean that we have officially joined the continent's government. After all, this is only a supervision organization, nothing more."
"But this time, the other party will propose supervision, and then slowly begin to interfere with our internal affairs." Someone on the side immediately said, "Everyone knows that this is their sinister plan to nibble away at us step by step."
"Yes, I know." Lugpu nodded his head, "But, this cicada nibbling away step by step also needs a period of time, can't we take advantage of this period of time to do something?"
"You mean, we should first stabilize them, and then start preparing for the war?" This time, Pope Rutledge took the initiative to speak.
"Your Holiness, do you really think we have a chance to reconcile with them? Now that the continent's government controls almost all the forces on the continent, if we don't want to join them, then we'll have to fight them sooner or later. Of course, we don't have much of a chance at the moment, but not everyone on this continent will obey them. What we need now is time to contact these forces. Of course, we have to take the lead and secretly prepare to mobilize the believers. On the surface, we can give them a false impression if we agree to their proposal … "
"Hmm …" Pope Rutledge understood what Rogump meant and nodded slightly. "But if the mainland government sends someone to supervise, they might find out about our situation here."
"Your Majesty, leave this matter to me." Gump suddenly said, "Didn't the mainland government's proposal say that we should send people from both sides and set up a mechanism? Our Church can ask His Majesty to let me be in charge of this matter. I guarantee that the other party won't discover our intentions."
"Oh?" Pope Rutledge was a little surprised because this wasn't an easy task. He didn't expect that Rogump would actually take the initiative to undertake it. This was really rare.
Yes, according to the usual practice, the next pope would naturally be chosen from the three black-robed bishops, just like the system of the Church of Light. Among the three black-robed bishops, Pope Rutledge favored Xerrod the most. Xerrod also held the greatest power in the church. As for Bishop Mosendra, because he was older than Pope Rutledge, it was basically an honorary position with no real power. It was basically impossible for him to become the next pope. The only one who could compete with Xerrod was Rogump.
However, Rogump himself had never expressed the ambition to become the next pope, at least in Pope Rutledge's opinion. No matter what he did, he didn't stand out, and he rarely took on any important tasks. Of course, he didn't have any eye-catching performance. Everyone thought that Rogump was a very ordinary bishop.
During this meeting, Pope Rutledge already felt that it was strange that Rogump took the initiative to say a bunch of things. Now that he took on such an important task, could it be that … this guy was also going to compete for the next pope?
Pope Rutledge still had more than four years left in his term. However, if Rogump had this desire, he really had to start working now. So did Pope Rutledge object to Rogump competing for the position of pope? In fact, Pope Rutledge was still against it. After all, Xerrod was closer to him. Of course, it would be better for him if Xerrod succeeded the throne. However, Pope Rutledge didn't say anything and just nodded. "Alright, since you have this intention, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope." Gump immediately saluted.
While handing this matter to Rogump, it also indicated Pope Rutledge's final decision. That was to agree to Rogump's plan and temporarily agree to this proposal to establish a supervisory organization. On the other hand, Li Huailin didn't expect to receive a reply so quickly. Originally, he had given 24 hours, so Li Huailin was prepared to deal with other things first. He would deal with this problem tomorrow. As a result, just after sitting in his mansion for a while, Geert immediately came looking for him.
The first to reply was naturally the Radiant Church. Basically, it was within Li Huailin's expectations. After a meeting, the other party decisively agreed to the supervisory plan proposed by Li Huailin. In any case, this group of people were very cooperative and took the initiative to request to immediately start the establishment of the supervisory organization.
What made Li Huailin surprised was the Dark Church. He originally thought that the other party would struggle for a long time, and it was even possible that they would directly rebel. However, he didn't expect that not long after the Radiant Church's reply, the Dark Church's reply also arrived. The other party actually agreed, and just like the Radiant Church, they also immediately sent people to discuss the establishment of the supervisory organization.
"Ah? What's the situation? " Li Huailin looked at the other party's reply and asked Geert. Naturally, this document was also very formal. He basically didn't know what it said, but the general meaning was "agree".
"This subordinate also feels a bit surprised." Geert also gawked, "The other party is actually so cooperative. This is not normal. According to the previous attitude of the Dark Church, this is too big of a contrast. There must be some conspiracy."
"This is really troublesome. But forget it, who cares about their conspiracy. In short, we can go to the other party's side and establish an embassy, right?" Naturally, Li Huailin didn't think that the other party would directly agree. No matter how he looked at it, the other party had some kind of plan. But thinking about it, what did the other party's plan have to do with him? In any case, he was only going to establish an embassy, he wasn't really going to swallow them up. "In this continent, there can't be any forces that oppose me", these kind of beautiful words were said to Geert. If not for the transmission array, Li Huailin would have been too lazy to care about these guys.
Therefore, Li Huailin didn't care about what the other party was planning. In any case, he would first set up the place he wanted and make it part of the embassy area. That way, the embassy area wouldn't be their territory. He could supervise it. Moreover, the other party wouldn't be able to casually investigate it.
"Are we going to establish an embassy now?" Geert was dumbfounded. Wasn't the important thing to supervise the embassy? To put it nicely, the embassy was just a place to live. The most important thing was to supervise the embassy.
"Of course, we are going to establish it now. I can't wait any longer." Li Huailin said.
"…" Geert really didn't know what to say. What was wrong with His Majesty? Why couldn't he wait to establish an embassy?
"Didn't you say that the Dark Church had sent someone?" Li Huailin continued, "Where is that person? Let him come over. We will first determine the location of the embassy. After that, we will immediately send someone to prepare the construction."
"So anxious?" Geert asked.
"The person will go first. What do you know? Hurry up." Li Huailin immediately said.
No matter what, Geert naturally went to call someone. And the person sent by the Dark Church was naturally Lugpu. Just a moment ago, the Pope had handed over everything to him, so there was naturally no problem for him to personally come here.
"I pay respect to Your Majesty Continent's Emperor." Lugpu greeted Li Huailin.
"Eh … Lugpu." Li Huailin raised his head and looked at the other party's name. He seemed to have seen the other party before, "You came here to discuss the matter of supervising the embassy, right? You see, I am a very easy-going person. How about we first determine the location of the embassy area?"
"Your Majesty, let's put this matter aside first." Lugpu suddenly said, "Right now, I have a very important matter that I need to report to Your Majesty alone."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a bit surprised. Does the other party want to have a private talk with me? What's going on? Looking inside the room, only Geert was still there. Li Huailin waved his hand, "If you have something to say, just say it. You know Geert, he is my confidant. Geert, close the door. "
Geert also felt very strange, but he immediately closed the door. After that, he walked to the side of Li Huailin and looked at Lugpu.
"Your Majesty … can I pledge allegiance to you?" Lugpu's first sentence surprised both of them.
