"We don't want to listen to your preaching!"
"Brothers, it's useless to talk nonsense with them! Let Raphael come out, let Raphael come out … "In fact, the word 'brothers' had fully exposed the identity of the person who was shouting.
"Yes, let Raphael come out!"
"Open the parish, we want to open all the parishes!"
Jeddes quietly scanned the crowd. He had already said a lot, but it didn't have any good effect. The priests were becoming more and more agitated, and he could even hear all kinds of curses. It was impossible to calm down a hot-headed crowd. The best way was to become a fanatic himself and blend into the crowd, secretly influencing others and changing their focus.
With Jeddes's ability, he could totally handle this situation, but he didn't want to change anything, because he had already seen through it!
He had decided to dedicate his life to faith, because of the ideals that he had always firmly held in his heart. People shouldn't always hate, hate, deceive, or even harm each other. No matter how long the night was, there would always be a day when the sun would shine!
This chaotic and cursed era had to end, but could it be achieved by these believers who lacked basic rationality? Absolutely impossible!
Amyjay and Adonis' eyes were more or less hazy. Seeing Jeddes being unscrupulously berated and even insulted, not to mention the cardinals who were angry, even Oder's face was not looking good. Who did they think they were?
The atmosphere gradually worsened. At first, it was still Raphael coming out, but now it was a certain someone coming out. Of course, it was because Han Jin didn't respond, which made the gathered priests more and more confident.
Amyjay even clenched the Knight's Lance in his hand, but he was just venting his anger. Even if Jeddes gave the order to attack, he couldn't stab the Knight's Lance into the priests' bodies. The Holy See had always had supreme influence, and there had never been a case of believers killing each other. Not everyone had the courage to challenge the limits, and it had nothing to do with whether there was a good reason or not.
"I declare …" Jeddes raised his magic staff, and his voice resounded above the Lord's Mansion with the help of magic, "From now on, I am no longer the Pope …"
"My Lord?" Amyjay was stunned.
Adonis' body also trembled, and he stared blankly at Jeddes. The noise of the priests suddenly disappeared. They had gathered here to show their justice and force Raphael to open all the parishes. Who knew that Raphael would never appear, and their Pope would be forced to resign? The consequences were too serious!
After a long time, a scream suddenly cut through the air, "Are you trying to scare us? We just want Raphael to open the parish. Who are you to stop us?! "
"Get out! You're just Raphael's dog! " One of the priests jumped up and started cursing. A few minutes ago, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly beside Schumann. Now, he was actually cursing Pope Jeddes, whose status was far higher than Schumann's. He was truly brave and pious.
"Dog! ''! "
"Dog …"
The priests let out a chaotic roar. Jeddes' resignation not only did not stop the intense emotions of the priests, but it also made the atmosphere completely boil.
Jeddes' expression was as usual. He turned his horse and galloped to the other end of the long street. Amyjay and Adonis ignored the priests and hurriedly followed behind Jeddes. However, no matter how they called out to Jeddes, Jeddes never looked back. In the end, he simply floated up and flew into the air, leaving the few Paladins and Cardinals looking at each other.
The God of War was not affected at all, and everyone's life was still the same as before. Morrisons was walking in circles on the deck. He had made an appointment with Sylvia yesterday, and he was going to visit her today, but he did not want to go now. While he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a figure floating on the deck. Morrisons shouted, "Jeddes, why are you here? I heard that the people of the Vatican are causing trouble in front of the Lord's Mansion, is that right? "
Jeddes did not answer, but asked softly, "Where's Raphael?"
"He went out a long time ago," Yalina said.
"As expected …" Jeddes sighed softly and sat next to Guevara. He reached out his hand, grabbed the wine cup from Guevara's hand, and drank it in one gulp.
"I thought you didn't drink?" Guevara asked in surprise.
"As the Pope … it's a bad influence on you," Majordomo Gail laughed.
"I'm no longer the Pope," Jeddes said faintly. After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine jug, but found that the wine in the jug was almost finished by Guevara and Majordomo Gail. He could not help but look around.
Miriam had always been very clever. Seeing this, she hurried over and took the wine jug from Jeddes' hand, then hurried down to pour wine for Jeddes.
"What's going on?" Guevara asked in a deep voice.
Everyone could see that Jeddis's expression was very abnormal. Below the ship, Jeddis had concealed himself very well. However, on the God of War, he was always relaxed and did not want to hide too much. The unscrupulous insults just now had already pierced his heart. This was because some of the priests had escaped from the Unsetting Sun Mountains.
The reason he could cooperate with Han Jin was not to rely on anyone or to preserve the strength of the Vatican, but because Han Jin had many advantages and was a rare collaborator. He could fulfill his dreams together with Han Jin.
Compared to Nicholas and most of the other lords, Han Jin had an extremely rare advantage. He was open-minded, not domineering, and not greedy for power. He could listen to the opinions of others. It could also be said that the cooperation between the Vatican and Han Jin was the safest and most simple, without too many intricate contradictions. As for the matter of opening up all the parishes, it was absolutely impossible for any other lord to do so. This was simply usurping all the achievements that others had fought for with their lives. No one could accept this.
Being slandered as a lackey made him very uncomfortable. He had already explained it very clearly, but no one listened.
You are a believer, and you can sacrifice everything for God and the Vatican. This is your dream, your choice. But because you have sacrificed, you think that you are standing on the highest point of morality. Then, you ask everyone to sacrifice like you. This in itself is a kind of evil! Violence wasn't scary, because everyone knew that violence wasn't good, no matter what kind of halo was applied to it. Moral harm, on the other hand, was something that people couldn't voice out. They could only go with the flow and use the same methods to harm others.
In front of the Lord's Mansion, just as the emotions of the priests were getting more and more crazy, Winston, who was fully clad in armor, walked out with more than a hundred soldiers. They lined up in several rows and blocked the door of the Lord's Mansion. The Lord's Mansion had not yet been fully built, so there were almost no guards. The few gatekeepers had also escaped after the priests gathered. The priests were used to facing the empty door, so when they suddenly saw a group of soldiers walk out, they could not help but feel afraid. This was especially true for the priests in front of the line, who squeezed into the crowd.
It was the priest who had first insulted Jeddes again. He walked out of the crowd and slowly walked towards the soldiers with a firm pace.
"What are you doing? What do you think you're doing? "The priest roared hysterically, pounding his chest." Come on! Draw your swords! Come here! "
The soldiers shrank back because Winston had issued an order. No matter who or what the situation was, if they dared to hurt any priest, they would be punished severely by the military law. To put it bluntly, even if the priests started to attack them, they could only endure and never resist.
The priest suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed a soldier's chest. Then, he kicked the soldier's lower abdomen. The soldier was only wearing leather armor. His face turned pale from the kick, and his body bent into a ball.
Seeing this scene, the priests were all stunned. Brave warrior! He was really a brave warrior!
The other soldiers just helped their companions up and did not say anything in return. Instead, they shrank back a few steps.
"Brothers, do you see it? They are just a group of … paper tigers! "The priest paused inexplicably and then shouted a new word.
The priests had seen clearly that the soldiers of the Holy Crown City were so cowardly in appearance. What was there to be afraid of? The priests who had been hiding in the crowd felt ashamed and then angry. They struggled to squeeze out of the crowd. But at this time, they were not the only ones who wanted to show off. The crowd rushed forward little by little.
"Brothers, let's drag Raphael out and make him give us an explanation!" The clergyman who had the most momentum raised his arms and shouted. He then rushed forward like a madman.
The soldiers formed a line and tried to stop him, but the clergyman was unstoppable and his methods were unscrupulous. He punched, kicked, even pulled hair and tore off ears. He did everything he could to beat seven or eight soldiers back.
Seeing this, the priests became more and more courageous. Moreover, they knew that the gathering in front of the Lord's Mansion was just a symbol. Now the Lord's Mansion had not been completed, so Lord Raphael was definitely not there. Of course, if Raphael was really there, regardless of whether he was seriously injured like the rumors said, they would not dare to act rashly. Attacking the empty Lord's Mansion and attacking Lord Raphael were two completely different things.
In the next moment, the clergy surged forward like a tidal wave, and the defensive line formed by more than a hundred soldiers collapsed in an instant. The fully-armed and majestic Winston was the first to desert, and the soldiers who were already panicking also scattered. There were a dozen soldiers who couldn't escape in time, and they were either surrounded by the crowd or knocked down by the clergy. Then, one foot after another stepped on them without hesitation. The crowd was too dense, and the clergy couldn't see what was beneath their feet, so there was nothing to be concerned about.
When Han Jin returned to the God of War, he saw a strange scene. Jeddis was sitting in the middle and talking. Morrisons, Sassoux, and the other young people were all around Jeddis, listening to him attentively. Guevara and Majordomo Gail were pushed outside. The two of them smiled bitterly and looked at each other.
"What's going on?" Han Jin heard a few words from Jeddis. It seemed like he was talking about life.
"Jeddis's alcohol tolerance is really …" Guevara said helplessly.
"Too bad!" Majordomo Gail sighed.
"He drank too much?"
"Too much!" This time, Guevara and Majordomo Gail replied in unison.
"Raphael, you're back?" Jeddis also saw Han Jin. He laughed and said, "Did everything go well?"
Han Jin never thought that Jeddis's laughter would become so hearty and excited. He couldn't help but look at Jeddis seriously. In the past, Jeddis was reserved and gentle, but now he was full of energy. It was as if he was a completely different person.
"Go on!" Morrisons shouted, scratching his ears and cheeks. It seemed that Jeddis was talking about something important.
"Light and darkness can coexist. Even if a person stands at noon, when the sun is at its brightest, there will still be an inconspicuous shadow under his feet." Jeddis laughed and said, "In fact, your Lord, Sir Raphael, is an excellent example. Come, Raphael, tell them what you did just now!"
Morrisons, Sassoux, Yalina, Loraine, and the others all turned to look at Han Jin.
Han Jin immediately felt his head swell. He looked at Guevara, who shrugged helplessly.
"There's nothing to hide. Everything you did was for everyone's good, right?" Jeddis laughed.
"Raphael, say it!" Sassoux said anxiously, "Look at you, what did you do? You always don't let us know. If this goes on, we …" He wanted to say that if this went on, they would never mature and could only be taken care of.
"Ahem …" Han Jin laughed dryly, "Jeddis, you drank too much. Should we … find a place to rest?"
"No, no, I'm in a very good mood. It can even be said that I've never been so good." Jeddis shook his head and said, "Moreover, my mind is very clear. The restrictions that used to be everywhere seem to have disappeared all of a sudden. Come, let's talk. Let's talk openly."
"My Lord, it's not good …" At this moment, a cry came from afar. Then, Schumann climbed up the stairs and shouted, "It's not good, it's not good! My Lord, those priests are completely out of control and forced their way into the Lord's Mansion. They are smashing things everywhere and even set fire to the main building that hasn't been built yet. Look … "Schumann pointed at the Holy Crown City behind him.
Everyone gathered around. From here, they could clearly see thick smoke rising from the center of the city and rising into the sky.
"How dare they?!" Morrisons roared.
"They not only burned down the Lord's Mansion, but also scattered Winston's soldiers." Schumann showed a sad expression, "Lord Winston saw that the situation was not good and escaped in time, but … but a dozen soldiers were surrounded by the crazy priests, I think …"
"Hahaha …" Jeddis laughed loudly, "Raphael, it seems that your plan is going well. So what do you want to do next? I'm very curious! Don't worry, don't worry about me, I'm no longer the Pope. No matter what you want to do, it has nothing to do with me. "
Han Jin wanted to rush up and knock Jeddis out, but if he failed, would Jeddis, who was in a state of madness, fight with him? With Jeddis's current excitement, his combat strength should have increased greatly, which would not be easy to deal with.
Morrisons and the others were stunned. What did Jeddis mean? The priests causing trouble … Was this Han Jin's plan? Even Loraine and Lesley stared at Han Jin blankly. After all, they had always regarded Han Jin as a sacred and powerful young hero in their hearts.
The sadness on Schumann's face became stiff. He should have continued, or even complained about the atrocities of the priests in tears. How could he say it now?
"Raphael, what's wrong with you?" Jeddis shook his head, "Why can't I say it? In fact, I think you're doing the right thing. Really, I can swear that I'm telling the truth. "
Han Jin glanced at Guevara and Majordomo Gail from the corner of his eyes. He was asking Guevara and the others if they should find a way to take Jeddis down and then send him to rest. If they let him speak freely here, it would be very bad for them.
"You don't have to be surprised, that's the truth, haha … Under the glamour, there is always too much cruelty, despicableness, and shamelessness. Raphael, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about … our current world!" Seeing that Han Jin remained silent, Jeddis shifted his attention to the others, "Do you understand? If you want to understand this world, you can't just use your ears and eyes. You have to use your heart to feel and your brain to think. "
Everyone was still looking at Han Jin, and Han Jin couldn't defend himself. With Jeddis' current state, if he denied it, Jeddis would definitely throw out something even more serious to refute him.
"Let's go, I'll send you to rest." Han Jin walked to Jeddis' side and held his arm.
"You haven't told me what you're going to do next." Jeddis laughed, "You're not going to completely destroy the Vatican, are you? I believe you're not that short-sighted. "
"I just want to send you to rest." Han Jin smiled bitterly, "Let's go, I'm begging you, okay?"
"You're begging me?" Jeddis couldn't help but be stunned. Although he had lost control, he still had some ability to think.
"Yes, I'm begging you."
"Jeddis, you've really drunk too much." Majordomo Gail quietly leaned over and grabbed Jeddis' other arm, "Let's go, go to sleep first. When you wake up, we'll talk with you."
"Sigh … the truth is always annoying." Jeddis was still as energetic as ever, but he stood up unsteadily. If it weren't for Han Jin and Majordomo Gail supporting him, he wouldn't even have been able to stand up.
Han Jin winked at Majordomo Gail and quickly helped Jeddes up the stairs. He even dragged Jeddes along.
