The Original Vampire - Chapter 671

Seeing the murderous intent in Colin’s eyes becoming more and more intense, Cardinal Mensay hurriedly begged for mercy:

“Count Angelie, don’t, don’t kill me! I’m willing to help you!”

Colin was stunned for a moment before realizing that Mensay had misunderstood him.

The “revenge” he originally envisaged was only against Pope Gregory, and did not mean to spread to others.

However, looking at Cardinal Mensay’s terrified appearance, he suddenly felt that he might be able to take this opportunity to clean up this rotten church.

This should also be what Marquis Garcia wants to see.

“What do you want to help me?”

“To help you with Gregory, of course!”

Colin smiled coldly and said, “Do you think I still need your help in dealing with Gregory now?”

Cardinal Mensay said sternly: “Sir Count, you must not underestimate Gregory, you must know that as the spokesman of the gods, the Pope can suppress several major Paladin families, and he has the trump card.”

“What killer?”

“Golden Horn!”

“Golden Horn?” Colin frowned.

“Yes, it is said that this is an artifact given to the Pope by the Lord of Glory, with great power.”

“How much power?”

“It is said that by blowing the horn, an angel can be summoned.”

Colin looked at Mensay with suspicion: “If the Pope can really summon angels, then the royal family would dare to compete with him for worldly authority? How could Gregory be willing to negotiate with the North last time at Oak Manor?”

Mensay quickly explained:

“Count Angele, to be honest, only the Pope knows about the true power of the golden horn. However, I am sure that the use of the golden horn must be paid for, and it is not a conventional method.

In fact, since the founding of the Radiant Empire, no pope has ever used a golden horn.

Therefore, the Pope will not use the golden horn unless he is cornered. ”

Colin narrowed his eyes and asked again:

“Since it has not been used for thousands of years, is this golden horn no longer effective, or is it simply a scare guise?”

Mensay considered his tone and said:

“Count Angele, you may not know that there is an unwritten rule in the church that candidates for the Pope must strictly abstain from sex. In fact, this is because in order to sound the golden horn, one must be a virgin.

If the golden horn is a lie, doesn’t it mean that the persistence of the ascetic monks who aspired to become the pope has become a joke?

I don’t believe that the church attaches so much importance to the inheritance of the golden horn just for the sake of bluffing.

I think you probably won’t be willing to drive Gregory to a dead end, and try to see if this golden horn can summon angels, right? ”

Colin suddenly thought of Archbishop Adjani’s scarred back. According to her, these abuses were actually a means of venting the Pope’s distorted desires.

So, maybe this golden horn really does matter.

Colin rubbed his chin and asked noncommittally:

“Then as you say, I can’t do anything about Gregory?”

“No.” Mensay shook his head and said, “I just said that the use of the golden horn requires a price, and the price should be very high, otherwise it cannot explain why the Pope has never used it in the thousand-year history of the empire.

So, as long as you don’t take extreme measures and drive Gregory to a dead end, he won’t use the golden horn. ”

“Don’t take extreme measures?” Colin curled his lips and asked patiently, “Then what measures should be used to deal with Gregory?”

Mensay immediately suggested: “I mean, you can’t rush into Yulong City like this and force Gregory to abdicate by force, of course, I understand that you have such strength and power now, but this is absolutely Will trigger Gregory’s desperate resistance.

The better way is to temporarily hide your purpose and wait for a suitable time…”

“What time?”

“When the Pope is temporarily separated from the Golden Horn…”

“Separate?” Colin didn’t hide the suspicion in his eyes. “If the golden horn is so important to the Pope, he will definitely keep it by his side anytime, anywhere?”

Mensay explained with a smile: “Count Angele, do you know the annual grace day?”

“Of course you know, September seventeenth, to commemorate the day when the Lord of Glory gave grace.”

“That’s right. Every year on the Day of Grace, there will be a ceremony to celebrate the baptism of holy light. During the ceremony, the overwhelming holy light will cover the entire Yulong City. Hehe, maybe you don’t know that this ceremony of holy light baptism must be done with the help of The golden horn was activated.

So, in this ceremony, the golden horn will be placed under the altar in the prayer hall of the Cathedral of Light, not in Gregory’s hands…”

Colin nodded thoughtfully, and said, “This is a good opportunity… September 17, which is half a month later, right?”

“That’s right.” Seeing Colin’s move, Mensa Yi immediately cheered, “This is your best chance. During the baptism of the Holy Light on the Day of Grace, control Gregory and prevent him from letting him There is any chance that the fish will die and the net will break!

Also, if you are concerned that such an action will attract criticism, I can also help you. ”

“How to help?”

“Of course, it is to announce Gregory’s evil deeds to the people of the Empire! I can also prevent the members of the Cardinals from jointly impeaching Gregory and depriving him of his papacy! In this way, you don’t have to worry about the risk of public opinion. .”

Colin smiled slightly and said:

“Mensay, so that’s why you’re so keen to help me deal with Gregory? After he abdicates, the pope should be yours, right?”

Mensay nodded calmly and said respectfully:

“Count Angele, I do not deny my desire for the position of Pope, but I can assure you that after my succession, the conflict between the Church and the North will never happen again, and I will cooperate with you to restore this The empire regained stability and prosperity.

Oh yes, don’t you want to start a parish in the half-troll kingdom?

At this point, I won’t put any hindrance on you. The candidate for the archbishop of the semi-troll parish can be decided by you. ”

Colin smiled lightly. He actually didn’t mind Mensay’s own plans~www.mtlnovel.com~ In fact, this actually gave the two of them a more solid foundation for their alliance.

However, Colin didn’t take a fancy to the conditions given by Mensay.

In his vision, the church must undergo a major cleansing and transformation, and become a ruling tool dedicated to serving the aristocracy, rather than a high-level spokesperson for the gods.

Of course, he will not reveal his true thoughts to Mensay at this time, which will only push the ambitious cardinal to the opposite side.

“Okay, happy cooperation!”

“Happy cooperation!”

Mensay excitedly took Colin’s hand with both hands and shook it vigorously.
