As the saying goes, old people become shrewd. Mossendra's guess was right. Now, Tugam was indeed following behind Li Huailin's carriage. Tugam was a very careful man. Of course, he had noticed something was wrong. He did not see Mihak's gesture, but he still followed Li Huailin carefully to see what Li Huailin was up to.
When he reached the door, he saw Li Huailin getting on the carriage. Naturally, Tugam followed him. Now, he was not far behind the carriage. He didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, but Tuagam was sure that there was someone inside, and they were meeting with Li Huailin. This person was very likely to be someone from the Dark Church, so Tuagam must know this person.
"Is that so?" Li Huailin had an indifferent look on his face as he replied indifferently.
"So, Your Majesty did this on purpose?" Seeing Li Huailin's attitude, Morsendra let out a bitter laugh. "You also know that Tugam will definitely follow, so you forcefully dragged me into this."
"Yes." Li Huailin admitted it right away. When he first met Tugam, Li Huailin knew that Tugam would not return empty-handed. He was just pretending to turn around a few times, and Tugam would definitely catch up. But it didn't matter. No matter who was in the carriage, they were definitely not with Tugam. Of course, Li Huailin had to tell Tugam about his meeting with Li Huailin, which was tantamount to forcing Tugam to join his side.
"Your Majesty, Tugam is just a captain of a knight squad. Why do you care so much about him?" Mosendra didn't say anything else, but asked in a strange tone.
"You have lived for so long. You should know that some secrets in this world are better left as secrets. Otherwise, someone will come and make you keep it a secret forever," Li Huailin said with a smile. "I can tell you, but are you sure you want to hear it?"
"It seems that Your Majesty won't say it," Mosendra smiled bitterly.
"Are you interested in the position of pope?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Mosendra nodded. "However, I don't want the power of the Pope. What I want is my reputation. Look at my age and body. Even if I were to become the Pope, how many years would I last? I don't think you'll even last a term. But as long as you become one, your name will be left in the history books. The 51st Pope, Cairne Mosendra, that's what I want. "
"That's reasonable." Li Huailin nodded. "So, you're going to join me and let me help you become the Pope?"
"No." Mosendra shook his head.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. This was a bit strange. "Then what do you want to do?"
"I … I want Your Majesty to put on a show with me. Of course, the result will definitely be beneficial to Your Majesty, but … I might have to bear a bit of notoriety. I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to hear me out," Mosendra said.
"Sure." Li Huailin nodded. What notoriety? Li Huailin originally didn't care about it. He was very curious about what exactly Mosendra wanted to do.
"At my age, I don't care about money, power and so on. But for my reputation, I still want to fight for it a little. " Mosendra said. "Although I don't know what Your Majesty's current plan is, I reckon that Your Majesty is preparing to deal with the Dark Church like the Radiant Church. That is to support a Pope. Logan and Axelrod are the two candidates. I think Logan is doing it for himself. After all, he is jealous of Axelrod. As for Axelrod, I reckon it is more to protect the Dark Church. As for who to choose, Your Majesty will have his own judgment. I won't participate in it. "Mosendra said.
"Didn't you say that you want your reputation?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, but the Pope that you have pushed, forgive me for being presumptuous, can only be regarded as a puppet, that's all." Mosendra said.
"Yes." Li Huailin directly nodded his head. What was so strange about this? Could it be that the Pope that he had pushed to the throne could still disobey his order?
"My goal is not the first puppet Pope, but the last independent Pope." Mosendra said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin understood the meaning of the other party, "You want to replace Rutledge and then be killed by me?"
"Yes." Mosendra nodded his head, "According to the information I have received, I reckon that Logan's side is preparing to launch a coup. I reckon that he is preparing to cooperate with Your Majesty. According to my judgment, it is absolutely impossible for the current Dark Church to withstand Your Majesty's attack. Since that is the case, it would be better to help me along the way. "
"He really doesn't want his life for his reputation." Li Huailin said. Yes, he understood the meaning of Mosendra. And if he really followed Mosendra's plan, he would definitely not be able to survive. It seemed like this guy was really aware.
"After all, Your Majesty is still young. You can't understand the thoughts of people of my age." Mosendra sighed and said, "If I was still the age of Your Majesty, I would absolutely not do this kind of thing. But now, I am already 112 years old (people in the game live longer). Since a few years ago, my body has been deteriorating day by day. At this time, everyone's thoughts will change. "
"Okay, okay, you are awesome, okay?" Li Huailin said, "You don't even want your life, what else can I say?"
"Many thanks to Your Majesty," Mosendra immediately said because he could hear that Li Huailin had agreed.
"Then … will you pay for the assassination of Rutledge or will I pay?" Li Huailin directly asked. Li Huailin had already guessed Mosendra's plan. Pope Rutledge would definitely be assassinated.
"It doesn't really matter. No matter what, everyone will think that it was you who did it," Mosendra said immediately.
"I know. You mean you will take care of it yourself, right?" Li Huailin said. "That saves me the trouble. When do you plan to do it?"
"There's not much time left. Soon, Tugam will find out that I'm the one you're talking to in the carriage. He'll definitely report this to his superiors. I think … tonight is a good time," Mossendra said.
"Not bad. You are so well-prepared." Li Huailin nodded. "But if you want to do it, I need to see Rutledge and Tugam's bodies."
"Of course, Your Majesty. I don't need you to tell me that." Mosendra understood that Li Huailin did not believe him, but he did not say anything. After all, it would be strange if Li Huailin believed him.
"Sigh, it's a pity that a sensible guy like you died. What's more, you won't have long to live even if you are alive," Li Huailin said.
"If I was a few years younger, I would be willing to work for Your Majesty. Unfortunately, I can't do it now. Thank you again, Your Majesty." Mosendra finally bowed. At this time, the carriage had almost reached the embassy area. Li Huailin directly opened the carriage door and got off. The carriage didn't stop for long and quickly drove away.
"Your Majesty." Before entering the courtyard, Geert immediately caught up and asked, "Who is in the carriage? An elder of the Dark Church? Or someone else? Did he also come to surrender? "
"This is quite strange." Li Huailin said with a smile. "He really came to work for me."
"Oh? Your Majesty, who is it? "Geert asked again.
"This is not important." Li Huailin waved his hand. "Anyway, this matter will be settled tomorrow. By the way, Geert, there is something here. Quickly arrange it, otherwise it will be too late."
"Please instruct me, Your Majesty." Although Geert was very interested in Li Huailin's words, when he heard Li Huailin's words, he immediately became serious and began to work.
Back to Mosendra's side. Mosendra's carriage continued to move forward and directly returned to his house. At this time, Tugam was still following Mosendra's carriage. Because he wanted to know who was in the carriage. As for Li Huailin's side, his subordinates were watching, so he chose to follow Mosendra's carriage. Looking at the carriage directly entering Bishop Mosendra's house, Tugam was a little surprised.
"Bishop Mosendra? He … "Tugam frowned, a little doubtful. After all, Mosendra was usually very low-key." Could it be that someone wants to frame Bishop Mosendra? "
The other party directly returned, which made Tugam a little suspicious. Why didn't they go around a few more times? It felt a little deliberate. Tugam quietly sneaked in and continued to follow the carriage. Then he saw the scene of Mosendra getting off.
"It's really Bishop Mosendra." Although the other party was wearing a cloak, Tugam still recognized him. He didn't expect that the person Li Huailin met was really Bishop Mosendra. This … was definitely not a small matter. Tugam immediately retreated and directly went to Bishop Xerrod's side.
"What? Bishop Xerrod isn't here? " When Tugam arrived at Xerrod's house, he found that Bishop Xerrod wasn't at home. He asked the servants, but they didn't know where Bishop Xerrod went.
Tugam was very anxious. This matter couldn't be delayed. Now that Xerrod wasn't here, Tugam could only go directly to see Pope Rutledge. Of course, as the captain of the Dark Knights, he could directly see the Pope. However, he wanted to give this credit to Xerrod. Unfortunately, the other party wasn't here, so there was nothing he could do.
Tugam hurriedly returned to the headquarters of the Dark Church and immediately applied to see His Majesty the Pope. Seeing Tugam's return, several people on the other side also nodded. "Are you all ready? Let's go. "
