"Do we need to ask Blanche to come here?" Gao Bin said slowly. He could see that Han Jin and the others were facing a big problem, "With Blanche's help, you should be able to know more about Aude."
"It's useless." Guevara whispered, "Jedis, Adonis, and Amijay were all against it, but they still couldn't stop him. Adding Aude would be meaningless."
"But … Blanche came from the Southwest." Gao Bin said, "As far as I know, because of her relationship with Aude, she knows the situation of the Holy See very well, at least more than you."
"Raphael?" Guevara wanted to ask Han Jin's opinion, but Han Jin was staring blankly into the distance, as if he didn't hear him.
"Raphael, let's go back!" Morrisons shouted. He was worried about the situation in the Holy Crown City, and he didn't know how Sylvia's injury was, so he was anxious.
"With the speed of the God of War, we can reach the Holy Crown City in two days. But what can we do when we go back? Turn against the Holy See?! "Guevara said slowly," If we can't make up our minds, we might as well not go back. " Of course, Guevara's vision was more far-sighted than Morrisons'. The Holy See had made such a big move, and it was inevitable that the people in the Holy Crown City were in a panic. Many people were quietly waiting for Han Jin's return. The moment Han Jin appeared in the Holy Crown City, they must clearly express their attitude, otherwise, the people's hearts would be even more chaotic.
"I'll go find Blanche. Let's gather our thoughts and think about what to do." Gao Bin stood up. Because of Sunier and his personal appreciation for Han Jin, the Holy Crown City and the Elves had not signed an ordinary agreement, but a brotherhood agreement. The situation in the Holy Crown City was unstable, which would have a serious impact on the Elves. Therefore, Han Jin's business was the Elves' business.
It didn't take long for Gao Bin to appear on the deck again, followed by several elves. Blanche and Lydia were here, but they were not the focus. The focus was on the last elf, Sunier!
"Sunier, long time no see." Seeing Sunier, Lang Ning hurriedly greeted her.
"Long time no see." Sunier's smile was a bit forced. She didn't want to come, but Gao Bin looked very serious and even made an ominous prediction. The Holy See was going to occupy the Holy Crown City, and Han Jin would definitely be driven out. This made Sunier very nervous. She had to figure out what happened in the Holy Crown City, how Han Jin would deal with it, and whether Han Jin would be in danger. The last question was of course the most important. Different from before, she had activated the Mark of God. No matter how powerful the enemy was, she believed that she would not be as helpless as before.
"Sunier, hello … hello." Yalina was even more nervous than Sunier, so she stuttered when speaking.
Sunier suddenly fell into silence, which made everyone nervous. After a moment, Sunier slowly said, "Hello."
"Long time no see …" Yalina said dryly, she really didn't know what to say.
"Yes." Sunier smiled, and then turned her eyes to Lang Ning, "Lang Ning, what happened?"
The relationship between Sunier and Lang Ning had always been very harmonious, because they both served as commanders and had a lot in common. A long, long time ago, Han Jin faced his feelings for the first time, mainly because he was stimulated by Lang Ning. At that time, Sunier and Lang Ning were very close, and the two often got together to chat happily, which made Han Jin feel very jealous and uncomfortable. He even did some extremely childish things, which was to stop Sunier and Lang Ning from being together. Of course, after their relationship became clear, Han Jin no longer interfered with Sunier. After all, he was a young man in modern society, and he knew how to respect Sunier.
Lang Ning told the whole story again. The situation was very tense, which made Sunier frown, "Didn't you say that Sunier has become the Pope? How could he not restrain himself? Did he deliberately … "
"Jeddes' character is impeccable. He would not lie to me," Lang Ning said.
"Yes." Guevara nodded. When it came to personal strength, Jeddes was definitely not the most outstanding, but when it came to Jeddes' character, everyone in the Holy Crown City Group was convinced, including Guevara and Majordomo Gail.
"But … it doesn't make sense!" Sunier said, "Jeddes holds the highest power in the Holy See. Can't he restrain Adolf?"
"You underestimate Adolf too much." Han Jin suddenly interrupted, then sighed and turned around. When he saw Sunier, he was surprised, "Sunier, why are you here?"
"Am I not welcome?" Sunier said faintly.
"No … of course not, you know what I mean." Han Jin smiled bitterly. As he spoke, he looked at her from the corner of his eye. When he found that her expression was normal, he was relieved.
Sunier knew her limits. She knew that now was definitely not the time to throw a tantrum with Han Jin, so she changed the topic, "You said that we all underestimated Adolf? You know him very well? "
"No, actually … no one dares to say that they know him well. I just know that there is such a person." Han Jin paused and said slowly, "Everyone knows the system of the Holy See. Although the Pope does not interfere with the specific political affairs of the Holy See, he holds the highest power. He can appoint, dismiss, and replace archbishops and diocesan bishops. The only three armed forces of the Holy See, the Supreme Court of Arbitration, the College of Cardinals, and the Knights of Light, are also in the Pope's hands. So, here comes the problem."
"What problem?" Sunier asked.
"Everyone who holds the highest power will swear that he can make everyone's lives better and stronger. Even if he knows that he can't do it, he will still say it." Han Jin said slowly, "If time proves that the person is not suitable to be the Pope, what can be done to remove him? Or rather, how can we maintain the strength of the Holy See and ensure that every Pope has enough talent? A long time ago, the Supreme Court of Arbitration had the power to remove the Pope. When the believers doubted the Pope's ability, the Supreme Court of Arbitration would vote. If more than two-thirds of the archbishops and cardinals thought that the Pope was not qualified, they could remove him. But in reality, this would not work. The Pope's power would inevitably infiltrate the Supreme Court of Arbitration. It would not take long for everyone inside to become the Pope's confidants. No matter how bad the Pope's actions were, no one could remove him. In the end, the Ascetics were born. "
"Ascetics?"
"Yes, Ascetics." Han Jin was silent for a moment. "The Ascetics never live in the Holy See. They are the mysterious protectors of the Holy See. They rarely interfere with the Holy See's politics and have no power to interfere. Their only power is to remove the Pope."
"The Ascetics are so powerful?" Sunier asked in shock.
"Everyone has a lot of questions, right?" Han Jin smiled faintly. "The Ascetics never live in the Holy See. Who would recognize them? The Pope has the highest power and has been planning for many years. How could he be removed so easily? What if the Pope uses the Holy See to fight against the Ascetics? "
"Yes, yes!" Sassoux nodded vigorously. He was a bard, after all. He was very interested in this kind of story.
"It's very simple. Power, overwhelming power." Han Jin sighed softly. "The most powerful person in the Holy See is not the Pope, nor is it the archbishops or the Holy Knight. It is the Ascetics."
"How is that possible?" Several people asked in unison.
"It's possible." At this point, Han Jin felt a headache coming on. "The Ascetics have a unique inheritance. In their lifetime, they will only choose one student. After a long period of observation and confirming that their student is qualified, they will pass their power to their student."
"What did you say?" Morrisons screamed. "Pass their power to their student? Raphael, are you joking?! "
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Han Jin said faintly. "I didn't know how they did it before, but now I know."
"How?" Almost everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Han Jin's answer.
"The Holy Crystal!" Han Jin smiled. "The Holy See has more than one Holy Crystal. There should be a few smaller ones. The Ascetics can use the Holy Crystal to transfer their power."
Everyone on the deck was dumbfounded. This news was too shocking. It overturned the common sense of the continent. If everyone could transfer their power, then what was the point of cultivation? You just have to have an illustrious family background or find a good teacher. You just have to try your best to please your teacher.
"I understand now!" Yalina suddenly screamed, then suddenly realized something and quickly shut her mouth. The magic array set up by Han Jin could absorb the energy of the magic crystal. The two effects were the same. No wonder Han Jin schemed against the Holy See and stole the Holy Crystal! But she couldn't reveal the secret, so she kept silent. However, she guessed wrong. Han Jin only fully understood the Holy Crystal after stealing the magic crystal.
"The Ascetics will consume a lot of their power in the process of transferring their power." Han Jin continued, "Otherwise, the power of the Ascetics should be getting stronger and stronger, but that's not the case."
"Even if there is consumption, it's already … terrifying!" Guevara smiled bitterly. Those who received the inheritance would definitely not be fools. They had to be outstanding in terms of talent, faith, and so on. Only then would they be able to gain the trust of the previous generation of ascetics. With their own tireless cultivation and the inheritance they received, their power would naturally surpass that of the Pope.
"This kind of inheritance is very difficult." Han Jin said softly, "I just said that after they choose a student, they will carefully observe them for a period of time. Do you know how long it will take?"
"How long?" Sunier asked.
"Ten years, or even a few decades."
"Oh my god … this is too torturous …" Lorraine exclaimed.
"If your goal is to obtain the inheritance, waiting for a few decades … of course you will feel pain. But if everything you do is to strengthen your faith, this is nothing. On the contrary, you will enjoy it." Han Jin said slowly, "The Ascetics use this method to ensure the purity of the inheritance. As long as you have distracting thoughts, selfishness, and pain in your heart, you will not be able to escape the Ascetics' eyes."
Everyone looked at each other. Just now, some of them had already thought about whether they should find an Ascetic to be their teacher. But Han Jin's words instantly shattered their fantasies. Enduring for a few decades was too scary. Of course, Han Jin's words made sense. For a true believer, it was indeed nothing.
"If a person with impure motives can really endure for a few decades, he is qualified to obtain the inheritance." Guevara sighed.
"Yes, I guess he will have become a pure believer in the end." Majordomo Gail shook his head.
"There is another problem with this method of inheritance." Han Jin smiled and said, "If an Ascetic has reached the end of his life, but he did not test his student for long enough to determine if the student has a firm faith, will he pass on his power?"
"Difficult, very difficult!" Guevara said, "If you choose to trust, you will be worried that you will pass on the wrong person. If you choose not to trust, you will waste your own inheritance. But this is a bit …"
"Raphael, you just said … Ascetics?" Gao Bin suddenly interrupted, "That means there is more than one Ascetic in the Holy See?"
"Yes." Han Jin nodded and said, "In the beginning, there were a total of three Ascetics in the Holy See. This is to ensure that they can still make decisions in time even if there is internal disunity. Sometimes, the Ascetics will become two or even one. Sometimes, they will return to two or three. I don't know them well, so I can't guess the details. But … I think that the inheritance of the Ascetics will not be wasted. Before they die, they can transfer all their power into the Holy Crystal, and then pass the Holy Crystal to another Ascetic. They can also leave the choice to their companions."
"I see!" Guevara nodded and said, "I knew it … Their inheritance will not be wasted."
"Actually, it is not easy to be an Ascetic." Han Jin said, "They used all kinds of methods to train their willpower and strengthen their beliefs. Haha … that can no longer be considered training, but an extreme form of torture. For example … Adolf, when he received the inheritance, he should have been in his fifties. It has been forty years since then, and in these forty years, he has never laid down."
"Impossible! Then how does he sleep? "Morrisons said.
"He sleeps sitting down or standing up."
"He can sleep standing up?" Morrisons's eyes widened. This was unimaginable for him.
"Is it strange?" Han Jin said softly, "You can't do it, but it doesn't mean that others can't."
"Can you?" Morrisons was not convinced.
"This is not a matter of whether or not I can do it. It is not necessary." Han Jin smiled. "There are too many sufferings in life. If I can't even have the right to sleep comfortably, I'd rather die."
"So you can't become a follower." Guevara laughed.
"Haha … I don't want to become a follower either."
"To you, sleep is the most important thing?" Sunier suddenly asked. Her tone was a little strange.
"Yes, we all have to die!" Yalina replied. She was feeling a little uncomfortable just now, but she didn't want to say it out loud. Now that Sunier had spoken, she had the courage to question. "Sleep is more important than me … than all of us?" After saying that, she realized that they were in public. She couldn't help but blush and add, "More important than all of us!" Yalina's reaction was a little slow. At first, she wanted to say "me," but then she remembered Sunier and quickly corrected herself. Finally, she said "all of us" again and again, which made Guevara and the others smile with interest.
Han Jin was stunned and then showed a helpless expression. A woman's rationality in love was indeed difficult to trust. He had just said it casually, but who would have thought that it would be taken to the forefront?
"So … Adolf's strength should be far above Jeddes', and he also has the power to depose Jeddes!" Majordomo Gail sighed. "This is difficult …"
"Raphael, since you are in the mood to talk so much with us, it means that … you should have a way to deal with Adolf!" Guevara said with a smile.
"Is that really the case?" Majordomo Gail was stunned and hurriedly asked.
"I have an idea." Han Jin said softly, "But to implement it, I need some time."
"So we can go back to the Holy Crown City now?" Morrisons University was happy.
"No." Han Jin shook his head.
"When can we go back?"
"After we defeat Lionel."
"Ah …" Morrisons's face fell.
"Do you miss Sylvia?" Sassoux asked.
"No, why would I miss her?" Morrisons straightened his neck. "It's you who miss her, right?"
"Yes, I admit, I miss her very much." Sassoux said with a smile.
Morrisons couldn't help but be angry, but he was the one who said it, so he couldn't lose his temper. He could only stare at Sassoux.
"Sylvia is a good girl." Léger patted Sassoux's shoulder heavily and said loudly, "Come on! Work hard!! "
This time, Morrisons was even angrier. Sassoux also gritted his teeth and secretly glanced at Loraine. It was obvious that Léger was almost shouting, and Loraine had no reason not to hear him. At this moment, Loraine was whispering something to Lesley. They were probably talking about the strange Sylvia.
"Raphael, what do you want to do? Tell us so that we can cooperate with you in the future. "Gao Bin said. In his opinion, Han Jin wanted to cooperate with the Holy Church, but there were some hardliners in the Holy Church who were aggressive. This was a dead knot that couldn't be untied, so he was very curious.
"It won't work if I tell you." Han Jin smiled.
"Gao Bin, it's useless to ask. This guy … likes to pretend to be mysterious." Guevara pointed at Han Jin with his finger.
"Yes." Majordomo Gail also said in a dissatisfied tone, "When we were dealing with Zagunéd, he always disappeared. None of us knew what he was doing. “
"I'm telling the truth." Han Jin shrugged. "Lang Ning, come with me."
