The Priestess Of Rodona - Chapter 64 Chapter 64
“Hang on just hang on we are almost there,” Falmir said while looking at Levin’s worsening condition.
What he didn’t see was that Elvire was rapidly healing herself and getting in better shape when every second passed.
Finally, her level-ups stopped and the black ball was once again satisfied and stopped also moving around and just settled down inside Elvire and looking forward to its next dinner and when it could release its next seal to aid its hosts.
^In the same time in the temporary headquarters of the church^
“Brothers and sisters today is a day we mourn our beloved Pope passed away today in the afternoon. But it wasn’t natural death at all it’s was orchestrated by our worst enemy by Rodona herself!
You heard right there is still Rodona’s followers here even we did think we managed to exterminate that’s pest out of the world and make the world a better place once again!
But no we were betrayed by no one else than by our own brother and sister! You heard right today we managed to find out that our ex next possibility to become head paladin Levin and his wife were sheltered a girl that was Rodona’s priestess!
That same girl murdered our dear Pope and many of our brothers and sisters that were sent there to peacefully to take the girl away from Levin and Jaana thinking that they were manipulated by the girl as it wouldn’t be first time to a pest like that to manipulate stronger people just to get shelter and save place!
But no Levin and Jaana attacked our brothers and sisters and cold cold hearty they killed our beloved brothers and sisters and even invited their friends to it!Yes, today we learned that Falmir itself helped those murders escape while killing a few of our men also and then there was unknown identify with him!
But brothers and sisters will we let this pass without doing anything at all! You guessed right we won’t!
We must find our new pope and all of you who think they could pass the divine tests that our God has made for selecting the new pope can round up to us starting from tomorrow afternoon!” Bishop Arnulf ended his long-lasting speech and looked at how the crowd was shouting justice to the church, burn the traitors, catch the murders and how they cursed Rodona and blamed her for their Pope’s murder.
Arnulf saw that he’s speech has delivered up for those things in their minds and it was a successful one for starting the flame on their hearts.
Then he suddenly had a great idea to push their limits even more.
“Brothers and sisters now when I see that the flame for divine justice is burning inside you I can finally tell that it was Rodona who send those orcs and beasts here!
She wanted to draw our church here and she thought she could eliminate and take her revenge against us by making an alliance with a lower God and promising sweet nothings in its ear!
So Rodona manipulated that peaceful God to attack our nation by promising it fame and glory while like a marionette she was playing with the strings of her puppet!
Look around you even we won and repelled the orcs and beasts, for now, we lost half of the city and countless life’s and we don’t know when they will start attacking again!
There is still an army out there wanting to kill every last of us but will we allow it?” Arnulf asked from the crowd.
“No! No! No! No! No, we won’t allow it we will fight back!” The crowd was shouting out and Arnulf continued before the flame in their hearts would be extinguished.
“Yes we won’t allow it at all we will show Rodona and for everyone that our church isn’t just your average church that you cannot offend so easily.
We won’t allow it at all and we will show our strength in these weeks and destroy Rodona’s plan to exterminate us and we will have our revenge!” Arnulf ended his speech and saw that he was successful with it by the crowd’s expressions.
Even when he knew that most of those things weren’t true what he just said but if a lie is repeated many times, in the end, it will become the truth.
Even when he was just a bishop and not a cardinal he held quite a promising position on the church as he’s skilled with words and manipulating the crowd.
He wasn’t zealous with he’s faith like some but enough to climb up close to the pipe and get an official post of being the messenger and speechmaker for the church and he once again delivered successfully those things that the crowd wanted to hear and not those that they didn’t want to hear.
Now they had reason to fight again to get their revenge and not just abandon the church and now all of them had a common target Rodona.
