The Second Coming of the Myth: I have obtained the blood of the Candle Dragon

Chapter 158 The Pope of Evernight, Joan of Arc

There are undercurrents surging within the Evernight Church, and all the major theocratic families now understand that it was Su Lin's existence that intensified the conflict.

Originally, although the Pope suppressed the ancient theocratic families in recent years, he was still measured. However, although the ancient theocratic families had prestige and power, they did not have sufficient military strength.

It was different now. They transformed the wealth they had accumulated over thousands of years into combat power and purchased a legion called Nightmare Mecha from the mysterious heretic.

As its name suggests, this kind of mecha will really bring nightmares to the Eternal Night Church.

Once a powerful armed force is in hand, those in power will inevitably be ready to take action. What's more, now that various intelligence agencies are connected with each other, they have a clear understanding of the situation.

In less than half a year, as many as [-] nightmare mechas have poured into the territory of the Eternal Night Church!
If this power could be gathered together, it would be difficult for the Eternal Night Holy Army to destroy it.

And this power is still growing, because the wealthy theocratic families are still buying nightmare mechas from Su Lin.

Su Lin never increases the price. No matter how many orders come, he will take them. If the factory has no time to process, he will go to work personally. He can be said to be an 'honest businessman'

This situation lasted until before the autumn harvest. On the territory of the Evernight Church, the number of nightmare mechas in reserve reached a terrifying figure.

Thirty thousand nightmare mechas, type one, and three thousand nightmare mechas, type zero!

The largest purchaser was the Camor family who first cooperated with Su Lin. Their family alone owned more than [-] nightmare mechas, making them the largest armed force within the Eternal Night Church.

The plans of the major theocratic families are basically made clear, but the church has not yet been able to raise an issue on this matter, because the Eternal Night Church itself is not a national government, and there is no such thing as rebellion.

The theocratic family just used their wealth to buy some toys. They neither violated the doctrine nor abandoned their faith. The Pope could not find a suitable reason to attack them.

In fact, if you insist on finding a reason, you can still say that they are heretics, because the current Cardinal Archbishop Su Lin Chaos of the Archdiocese of Nancy, or the King of Nim, Subai Silver Si, he is simply a pagan who blatantly promotes light in his own territory.

Yes, Su Lin has expanded his business, and of course he cannot hide many things, but the church is no longer able to deal with him.

Because he is now the favorite of major theocratic families, and his backlog of orders can buy several archdioceses!
No theocratic family would want to touch him before he fully delivers, and they still want more nightmare mechas.

The current situation within the Eternal Night Church is like everyone is engaged in an arms race, hoping to hoard more nightmare mechas before trouble occurs. They don't want to touch the sensitive point of Su Lin.

Everyone knew that, whether it was the Pope or other theocratic families, as long as anyone dared to touch Su Lin, the war would begin immediately.

The scope of interests involved is too large, and it is impossible to control what will happen after the war begins.

People are constantly preparing for war, but no one is ready for war.

After all, many powerful people are still confused at this time. They are not even sure what they want after the war.

Let this pope step down?If this is the case, they may not be able to achieve it through political means.

If a war breaks out, their ambitions will definitely go beyond this, especially those ancient theocratic families. They may no longer be satisfied with someone sharing the cake with them at the power table.

The pope is just a manager elected by them, but the people who share the cake have always been the five theocratic families and other upstarts.

After thousands of years of development, the situation gradually changed in a stable manner. The ancient theocratic families began to realize that their ruling position was no longer so secure. The disobedience of the Pope was a manifestation of this.

Their control over the meetings of cardinals is also decreasing, because many new theocratic families have emerged. They support the pope and can even influence the results in voting.

This generation of popes may not be a threat to the five major theocratic families, but what about the next generation of popes?Will there be a revolution that will gradually kick the five major families out of the core of power?
The newly rising theocratic families feel that the five ancient families are too annoying. They control most of the resources of the Eternal Night Church and eat too much cake.

Now they also want to take a bite, or be the one to cut the cake, so the five theocratic families must become history. They support the Pope to clean up the five major families, but they may not really sacrifice their lives for the Pope.

Because they know that the Pope is just using them. Once the five major theocratic families are weakened, they may not be able to replace the five major families, but will be thrown into the abyss by the Pope.

In this game of thrones, everyone wants to be the winner, no one wants to be kicked out of the card table, and everyone outside wants to sit at the card table.

"Wonderful."

Su Lin drank the red wine from the cup and sat on the rooftop of the palace. The glow of the giant boiler behind him illuminated the place like daylight.

"Wilted."

Lu Zhixue was wearing a bikini and lying on a lounge chair with a sun umbrella above her head, as if she was on vacation.

She took a sip of the iced juice, and when she turned her head, the corners of her mouth curled up, "But I like it."

"I was never prepared to attack the Eternal Night Church head-on from the beginning. That would be too unrealistic."

Su Lin smiled and said that the current situation is what he wants.

"But I think the Nightmare Machine God series developed by Linlin is very strong. If there are a thousand of them, it will be enough to bulldoze the Southern Continent, right?"

Lu Zhixue asked.

What she was talking about was the latest cutting-edge mecha developed by Su Lin, which was not sold to the outside world at all. The nightmare fuel core used a super-powerful aggregation.

Inside the composite core, there are 6561 units of nightmare fuel, divided into 81 units. Each unit is further divided into 9*9 functional nodes, and the overall unit adopts a unit circulation function.

When the Nightmare Machine is running at full power, only one large unit will be activated. The inside of the large unit will run at full power. After reaching the recovery critical point, it will shut down and activate the next large unit. The whole cycle will repeat, and continuous combat can be carried out forever. stop!

As for the Nightmare Machine God's full-power state, based on physical attribute standards, its comprehensive attributes can reach 41 points. The internal core was refined by Su Lin using the Xuantian secret method to prevent direct destruction of the internal core by means similar to soul attacks.

The advanced combat system developed by fighting with Lu Zhixue for more than a hundred days can adapt to various combat scenarios.

If used for close combat alone, the Nightmare Machine God actually cannot use that much Nightmare Fuel, but the Nightmare Machine God Sea is equipped with a thermal weapon device. There are many hidden gun barrels on its Machine God, which can directly consume Nightmare Fuel to fire Nightmare Energy Cannons.

Su Lin asked Lu Zhixue to evaluate that even if the Nightmare Machine God's main gun fired at full power, she wouldn't dare to hit it directly. It was also fatal to high-level transcendent beings.

Its outer armor is all made of Titanium Mira alloy, and its inner core skeleton is made of Hill Mithril, a divine material that Su Lin spent a lot of money to purchase. It is extremely strong.

Even if Lu Zhixue wanted to dismantle this thing, it would still take a lot of effort.

This is the ultimate killing machine, suitable for all battlefields on land, sea and air. If there are a thousand of them, it will not be a problem to bulldoze the southern part of the Evernight Continent.

The only problem is that the cost of this thing is too high. The core of Nightmare Fuel is okay. The manufacturing of Titanium Mira alloy can now be supplied by factories, but the Hill Mithril must be extracted by Su Lin himself.

Only the long-term calcination of the true sun fire can melt this divine material. All processes including its shaping and processing must be performed by Su Lin himself.

In addition, Hill's mithril is expensive and slow to refine, making it currently difficult to produce on a large scale.

As long as the materials are available, it currently takes Su Lin two or three days to build one.

Fortunately, he also found a solution, which is to let the nightmare machine god he created work for him, because its material is strong and can withstand the real fire of the sun for a short period of time.

In other words, he no longer needs to personally watch and operate the giant boiler. The Nightmare Machine God can take over the operation, and the refining of Hill's mithril can also be supervised by it. Su Lin only needs to get the finished product, and then he can do it in one go Make a batch.

Currently, he has only refined three Nightmare Machine Gods to oversee the giant boilers.

Inspired by this, Su Lin simply replaced several core technology factories in the country with robots, using the nightmare mecha Zero to replace the workers. Not only was the work efficiency high, there was no need to eat and rest, and the work was very precise. .

The country of Nimes can no longer be regarded as an era of industrial revolution. The people of the country are in a state of prosperity, and the agricultural industry has been semi-automated, so there are fewer things that the citizens can do.

The miners' jobs have been replaced by nightmare mechas. Each mining area only needs to retain dozens of experienced old miners as guidance and to conduct new mine exploration.

So what are the citizens of Nim doing now?

The answer is...education.

Well, Su Lin opened a national seminary, which not only taught people how to read and write, but also taught the teachings of the Illuminati Cult that he formulated.

This is his basic base. The citizens below are all fanatics. If they are taught well, after they are defeated, every citizen will be a qualified missionary.

At this time, Su Lin listened to Lu Zhixue's complaints and shook his head, "That's impossible."

He was referring to Lu Zhixue’s idea that if he had a thousand Nightmare Machine Gods, he could push it forward. “First of all, the extraction and production of materials is very slow. If I worked behind closed doors for three years, I wouldn’t be able to make so many Nightmare Machine Gods. Secondly, if I hadn’t brought the situation to a halt, If this happens, we will be dead a long time ago."

He tasted the red wine in the glass, "If Nimes wants to develop rapidly, there are several key points. One is national cohesion, the other is light dispelling darkness and improving people's productivity, and the third is diplomacy and trade. The first point is easy, but Once the following steps are implemented, the changes in Nim Country cannot be hidden from the world.”

He continued: "The autonomy of Nim Country is something that the Eternal Night Church does not want to see, let alone the fact that we have also introduced light into the world and openly spread the light of the sun all over the country. In the eyes of the Eternal Night Church, this is Clearly heretical behavior that violates their core teachings will be punished."

"But I heard from Linlin that those ancient theocratic families lived very luxuriously and even lit fires in their palaces."

Lu Zhixue smiled.

"That's different. The old guys are powerful, and they don't want to do what they do in their own palace. Moreover, they also claim to be trying to capture weird things for experiments. It's impossible for them to walk with light in front of people. We The country of Nim has directly established a new religion, preaching bright justice."

Su Lin shook his head and explained, "In the eyes of the Evernight Church, this is something that is absolutely intolerable."

He put down his wine glass and smiled, "So we've reached a dead end. If we want peace, we have to work in isolation, but it's impossible for us to win in a limited time by isolation, so I have no choice."

"So Linlin personally provoked the civil strife in Yongye Church?"

Lu Zhixue asked concludingly.

Su Lin nodded, "This is the best way. Once the anomalies in the Nim Kingdom are exposed, we will definitely not be the direct opponents of the Yongye Church, so I might as well not be the opponent of the Yongye Church, but become the Yongye Church." 'Allies' to those in power"

"From the moment I met the elders of the Camor family, we have already won half of this game. Their greed will not let go of a business like the Nightmare Mecha, and when they want to kill me, they will monopolize this business. technology, but found that their determination was too late.”

Su Lin smiled and said, "I contacted the five major families almost at the same time, as well as many upstart theocratic families. They all got on board. At this time, it is not appropriate for any family to take action. They can only continue to buy."

"Then what if any family is more reckless and attacks Nim Country regardless of the consequences and wants to take the factory here as its own? Then wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?"

Lu Zhixue said doubtfully.

Su Lin stood up, walked to Lu Zhixue, and tapped the other person's forehead, "Don't think those old guys are like you. The fact that their family has come this far means that they have amazing decisiveness. But apart from that, there is one more important thing, and that is stability.”

With a smile on his face, he said, "With the stability of those people, the possibility of attacking me directly when the situation is unclear in the early stage is too small. They will definitely send spies to investigate the situation first and figure out the situation." They will only take action after they can control Men'er's technology."

"But the result is obvious. They can only see the magical factories in Nimes. They may still understand the operation of these factories, but the core processing of the nightmare mecha is all completed by me. There is nothing they can do if they kill me. If they can’t get it, and since everyone is already in the game, they can only find ways to get more nightmare mechas, so they have to continue trading with me.”

Su Lin looked at the steaming factories, "This gives us time. In fact, Nim has become richer and richer in the past six months, and we haven't encountered any trouble."

Lu Zhixue held the straw in her mouth and complained: "You guys have a dirty mind when it comes to tactics."

She put down the juice, "But there is a problem. The Evernight Church is in chaos, and it is true that they have no time to take care of us for the time being. But in the past six months, we have been busy exporting, building more than 3 nightmare mechas, and selling them to The theocratic family of Yongye Church has been defeated, but we ourselves have not become much stronger. If this continues, how can we conquer it?"

Su Lin snapped his fingers, "Good question. Indeed, I focus all my energy on business. All the nightmare mechas currently produced have been sold. Although the nightmare mechas I have available are more advanced, the total number is No more than a hundred units, just a small force, and it is really impossible to fight a war of conquest with this."

His voice changed, "But I never said that we should rely on the military strength of the Nim Kingdom to fight the war, right?"

Lu Zhixue was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression, "Linlin... shouldn't you?"

Su Lin nodded with a smile on his face, "I'm just sitting here. Someone will naturally help me conquer the southern continent. I just need to take over. Who said that all my nightmare mechas have been sold?"

"You still say that you are an honest businessman..."

Lu Zhixue hugged Su Lin from behind, bumped her chin on his shoulder, and pressed her red lips against Su Lin's ear, "It's really bad."

The message revealed by Su Lin's words was very simple. Everything he said when making sales was all a lie. What kind of bloodshed could compare with the bottom-level orders set by him as a refiner at the core?
Those buyers can indeed use the Nightmare Mecha, but after they have done what they need to do, Su Lin can seize the command of the Nightmare Legion with a single command.

Those theocratic families just spent money to buy some mercenaries, and the real master of those mercenaries was always themselves.

In this process, he gained a large amount of assets for development and scientific research, stabilized the situation in Nimu Country, and prevented them from being collectively targeted by the Eternal Night Church. He could plot the entire southern continent without spending a single soldier.

"Who did you learn these dirty tactics from?"

Lu Zhixue thought about it again, and the more she thought about it, the more terrifying the man in front of her became. Fortunately, this was her man.

"Of course, the dirtier the tactics, the better. I think the ancients are right. The so-called strategy is to attack with troops first, then attack friends, then attack troops, and then attack the city."

Su Lin said, "When I play games, I am not a player who likes coloring. I rarely take the initiative to send troops to fight. I can gradually expand my territory through diplomacy and conspiracy. The most difficult way to defeat a great empire is to launch an attack on it. War, because that would unite them.”

With a smile on his lips, he said, "But it's different when it comes to internal disintegration. With the right means, I can even send a team of infantry to capture an empire."

He is still having major factories intensively processing the two products of the Nightmare Mecha, but this is not to fund the enemy or simply do business. He is producing his own army in a safe way and deploying it to Every corner of the southern continent is controlled by the Eternal Night Church.

Taking a look at the game progress panel, their Shanhai Game camp is currently far ahead.

[Technology victory score:]

Shanhai Game: 79318 points

World Tree Game: 11896 points

Shiva Game: 2136 points

[Religious Culture Victory Score:]

Shanhai Game: 12390 points

World Tree Game: 0 points

Shiva Game: 4131 points

【Conquest victory score:】

Shanhai Game: 0 points

World Tree Game: 213 points

Shiva Game: 301 points

Regarding the victory of religious culture, Su Lin studied the detailed rules for calculating this score. It is linked to the total number of cultural and religious beliefs, the number of devout believers, and the number of fanatic believers.

Although there are not many people in Nim Country, almost all of them are fanatical believers now, which is why its religious and cultural victory score is so high.

The conquest victory score will only increase due to the new territory. Su Lin has never obtained new territory and is still the country of Nim at the beginning, so the score is zero.

The aliens in the Yggdrasil game and the Shiva game may not have a basic base at the beginning, so they tried to find a way to get a victory score.

There is currently little development in this area and can be ignored for the time being.But if the opponent thinks that he can compare with himself in terms of conquest and victory, he would be too naive. In less than a year, he will take over the territory of the Eternal Night Church.

What?What should I do if the Yongye Church holds back from fighting?
Su Lin will help, he will let the greedy family and the Pope do it.

…………

In the southern part of Yongye Continent, the Archdiocese of Jingluo is located, which is the headquarters of Yongye Church.

In the Saint Sophia Cathedral, in a dark environment, a woman wearing a black silk robe was sitting in the confessional.

She wears a gorgeous crown on her head, her silky blond hair is rolled up, and there are a few naughty hairs sticking up behind her swan-like neck.

The woman opened her eyes in the darkness, and her eyes were azure. They seemed to be emitting a faint light in the dark night, but they did not attract any weirdness.

She sat there, finishing her daily confession and prayer, and then spoke to the darkness, "How is the situation with the Holy Army?"

Outside the confession room, there was an armored knight kneeling on one knee with an expression of reverence, "Your Majesty, the Holy Army has completed the internal screening, and all positions of the families involved have been replaced. I assure you. , our Eternal Night Holy Army is still the strongest force on the mainland."

"How does it compare to the Nightmare Army?"

The Pope spoke.

"We can fight to annihilate the nightmare army with a size of less than 8000."

replied the knight.

"Renes, you did a good job, go back and rest."

The woman walked out of the confessional and touched Raines' head with her bare hands, like a gift from God.

Reigns seemed flattered, performed a knighthood, and then excused himself.

The woman looked at the tall statue of the Goddess of Eternal Night in the center of the church, and sighed: "Did I push too hard?"

She, Joan of Arc St. Neo Solanla, is the No. 30 seventh pope of the Church of Eternal Night.

On the mainland, the top extraordinary people can live to be 400 years old, and she is only 180 years old this year. She became the pope at the age of 136, which is considered a relatively young pope in history.

Generally speaking, clergymen who can survive to the position of pope must be at least three hundred years old. They can work in this position for six to seventy years and either retire or die of old age and return to the embrace of God.

She was able to rise to power at such a young age, partly due to her outstanding talent. At the age of 40, she achieved the title of the most powerful person in the church and was designated a saint.

On the other hand, she was born in the Neosolanla family, a newly aristocratic theocratic family, and she had become friends with the heirs of various powerful theocratic families when she was young.

In addition, the old pope admired her very much. When he died, she ascended to the pope's throne with a one-vote advantage in the vote of the cardinals.

She has been smart since she was a child and has a clear view of the world. She often thinks about the current situation in the Evernight Continent, so she is very worried about the situation within the church.

After she came to the throne, she was a docile and obedient pope for the first 30 years. She obeyed the advice of the cardinals and respected the ancient theocratic families.

But after she became fully fledged and fully mastered the powerful executioners of the Eternal Night Holy Army and the Inquisition Bureau, she began to reform.

She is deliberately weakening the power of the ancient theocratic family, hoping to end this situation of resources being fixedly controlled by others. This will only make the church more and more corrupt and block the advancement of those below.

The Eternal Night Church has a vast territory. According to a census five years ago, the estimated population exceeded 50 billion.

However, the total number of internal members of the Eternal Night Church, including the servants of God, is only over 600 million.

In other words, less than two thousandths of the population controls 50 billion people, and among these more than 600 million people, more than 90% come from major theocratic families.

To put it simply, in the territory of the Eternal Night Church, if you are a civilian and want to become a priest, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

All positions have been divided among the major families, and the major seminaries under the Evernight Church have almost become decorations.

It is just a formality for children from theocratic families to go to school. Regardless of whether their grades are good or bad, they will be assigned a job in the church in the future.

And those ordinary families, even though they have paid unaffordable high tuition fees and their children have achieved good results in the seminary, they still find it difficult to become a clergy after graduation.

Only those civilian students who rank extremely high will have the opportunity to be assigned by the church after graduation, and the quality of the position depends on the connections they have in the college.

If a civilian student gets to know a few powerful dignitaries during school, his future promotion path will be smoother.

Joan of Arc once visited a seminary and found that the private lives of the students in the seminary were extremely chaotic. Due to some unspoken rules that everyone knew, most of the civilian students who entered the seminary only wanted to cling to the powerful, because they understood that just studying well did not matter. use.

As a result, the male students served the female students of the theocratic nobles, just like the footmen in the old days serving the queen.

The female students tried their best to get into the bed of the male students from the theocratic aristocrats, and the despicable ones were even worse than the slum girls.

They wear underwear on campus and perform pretentious prayers under the statues of gods every day, which makes Joan just want to feel sick. What on earth do they think of a sacred seminary?

But she suddenly felt that she was not qualified to judge those civilian male and female students, because she herself came from a noble theocratic family. She did not understand the sadness of those civilians, and could not stand on the moral high ground to rebuke them in the name of God.

She realized that it was not the unclean civilian students who were wrong, but the ancient theocratic families in the Eternal Night Church.

They have strangled the young people's upward path. Even if they beg for mercy like dogs, they may not be able to get a bone.

Weird fear dominates all living beings, so no one dares to question the teachings and dominance of the Eternal Night Church, but everyone wants to pursue a better life. Even if they sell their souls and moral integrity, they still want to get ahead in the seminary. .

However, the vast majority of people lost everything in the seminary, drained their parents' wealth, and failed to become clergy after graduation.

However, they have seen the world and received higher education, but they are not willing to engage in what they consider to be "lowly" hard work, so they waste their time. As a result, in many developed parishes, you can see drunkards staying up all night on the roadside. .

After the catastrophe more than 800 years ago, the population of the Southern Continent has grown from a few million to 50 billion.

The Eternal Night Church now has a social relief system, so that even unemployed people will not starve to death. They encourage childbirth, and with excellent social security, the population should still be in a period of rapid growth.

But in recent hundreds of years, the population has not grown. Instead, there has been negative growth in the past few decades, which gives Joan of Arc a headache.

She realized that the original sin of everything lay with the ancient theocratic families, who had mastered too much wealth and resources and stifled people's dreams of moving forward. She had to rectify this phenomenon, otherwise the Church of Eternal Night would not last long.

Fortunately, the situation in the neighboring Dark Church and Canopy Church is not much better. Everyone started their business in this way, so naturally they all have this kind of problem, so she doesn't have to worry about attacks from external heretics for the time being.

After making up her mind, Joan of Arc started to do it. The decree she introduced weakened the power of the five theocratic families, but it only scratched the surface.

Some of the cardinals supported him at first, but recently all the cardinals no longer support her. If it were not for the rare situation in history when a pope was deposed, and her strong control over the Eternal Night Holy Army, I am afraid that she He is no longer the Pope.

She understood that the undercurrent had turned into a frenzy, pressing against her, the pope.

The major families control powerful armed forces. For the first time in thousands of years, in addition to political power, they also control military power!

The only cards she can play are the Holy Army of Eternal Night and the power of some executive agents of the Inquisition Bureau. The director of the Inquisition Bureau is her childhood friend and classmate's best friend. If not for him, he would still firmly support her. , I am afraid that I have been dismissed.

But the power of the Heresy Tribunal cannot be counted on. The power of its subordinate extraordinary beings is spread all over the southern continent. More than [-]% of the extraordinary beings in the Eternal Night Church are under the Heretic Tribunal, but it is too scattered and the water is very deep.

She couldn't determine the background of those executioners at all, but it was certain that most of them came from theocratic families and could do bad things at critical moments.

Only the Eternal Night Holy Army is clean, because the Eternal Night Holy Army was selected from orphans. In the past few years, some leaders and managers were installed by the theocratic family, but they were all cleaned up by her.

Now that the storm is about to sweep through the Eternal Night Church, she is not ready yet, but she is mentally aware.

If a war breaks out, those heretics who have abandoned their faith will never be satisfied with pushing themselves down. They will further hollow out the roots of the Evernight Church until the big tree collapses.

At present, she believes that there are roughly three camps on the card table. One is herself, the Pope, the other is the five major theocratic families, and the third is the emerging theocratic aristocracy.

The latter two now want to step down. The emerging theocratic aristocrats helped them in the early years and gave them benefits. However, they can see clearly that their ultimate goal is to weaken the power of all theocratic families, so they will not help. She ends up.

And these people want to share the cake, so the five ancient families are also their enemies. She can find a way to take advantage of this.

As for the five theocratic families, their purpose is very simple, which is to continue to maintain their dominance. It would be better if they could get more cake in the war.

"Headache..."

Joan of Arc pinched her eyebrows and said, "It's all because of that Nim country..."

She knew where the source of the turmoil was. If the young king of the Silvis family hadn't developed something like the Nightmare Mecha, these conflicts would not have broken out so quickly. She could even reform it smoothly. 200 years.

Powerful force always makes people confused, and the situation can no longer be controlled. And every day, the military power of the theocratic family is increasing.

Her emotions made her want to directly lead the Eternal Night Holy Army to destroy the Nim Kingdom, and immerse the heretic who turned out to be a cardinal into black water and execute him.

But reason told her that sending troops now would affect the interests and nerves of those theocratic families, and might directly trigger a war.

War kills people, many people die.

And she always felt that it was too cruel to let the children of the Eternal Night Holy Army die in a battle with dead things like nightmare mechas.

"Who!?"

In the darkness, Joan suddenly became alert and turned her head to look in one direction. A powerful aura instantly filled the entire church, making everything invisible.

Su Lin came out somewhat unexpectedly. He was in the two-dimensional space just now, but he actually felt the pressure and was almost forced out.

The pope in front of him is really powerful, not an ordinary extraordinary person.

He used his detective skills to investigate, and could only see a row of question marks. However, based on his previous experience, compared with the strong men he knew, and judging from the breath, the Pope's comprehensive attributes were probably at 45 points. above.

The nightmare fuel enhancement system is very wonderful. As long as the transcendent can withstand it, it can continue to be enhanced, and the improvements obtained are relatively comprehensive, and there are no obvious shortcomings.

But the core point of this strengthening system lies in the spirit. It must be able to withstand the pollution of nightmare fuel, otherwise it will go crazy and collapse. Therefore, in terms of spirit, the Eternal Night Church should have its own unique practice method.

"The person you are thinking about most at this time, my pontificate."

Su Lin appeared like a magician and saluted like a performer.

"Su Lin? Should I call you Su Bai Silvis?"

Jeanne's pretty face was as cold as frost, "No one would have thought that a mortal in the ancient cultural heritage could be such a powerful benefactor."

Gifter is the name given to extraordinary people by the Eternal Night Church. They call nightmare fuel the gift of the night, and those who gain abilities from it are called gifters. The special ability awakened by the gifter is called a gift from God.

"I didn't expect that the Pope of the Eternal Night Church would be such a beautiful lady."

Su Lin said with a smile, of course he knew whether the Pope was a man or a woman, saying this was just a show of words.

Because some of the characteristics of the Gift of Night are yin in terms of the five elements, and women are easier to absorb and awaken than men, so most of the gifters in the Eternal Night Church are women, and all of the Eternal Night Holy Army are women.

But in the balance of all things, women are more likely to become extraordinary, but few can become top bestowers. 8% of the most powerful bestowers in the Eternal Night Church in the past are men.

Therefore, the popes of the Eternal Night Church are still mostly male, while the bishops are more female.

"You are so courageous. I was worried about the affairs of Nim Country, but now it seems that there is no need. As long as I kill you, the war crisis will naturally be resolved."

Joan of Arc said coldly, stepping forward, looking like she was going to take action.

"Don't scare me, Your Majesty the Pope, you won't kill me."

Su Lin smiled and said, "Indeed, if you kill me now, you won't have to start a war anymore. The major families can't find any reason to start a war, but it still hasn't solved any fundamental problem, right?"

Joan of Arc stopped and stared at the handsome man with a calm smile in front of her, "What do you want?"

She didn't understand that the man in front of her was too mysterious. He was from the Silvis family, an ancient noble family in the country of Nim, but that was a mortal country.

The country of Nim has not had access to extraordinary technology since ancient times, but from her investigation, it seems that the man in front of her has changed since he came to power.

He didn't know where he got the extraordinary power, and he somehow invented and created so many magical machines. In just one year, he turned the country of Nim into a strange place.

She heard that the other party had ignited the flame of light in the Kingdom of Nim and claimed to be the agent of the God of Light. This statement sounded ridiculous to many bishops, but she had thought about it seriously.

With so many miraculous things gathered in one person, she really couldn't completely rule out the possibility that the other person was favored by God.

But...is there really such a thing as the God of Light?

Her biggest doubt now is the question she just asked, what does the other party want?
"What do I want?"

Su Lin smiled and said, "My beloved Your Majesty the Pope, what I want is the same as you, which is change."

Joan of Arc stopped in her tracks and frowned slightly, "Reform?"

Su Lin nodded, "Yes, I saw your change action, but you failed, didn't you?"

Jeanne's voice was filled with anger, "If you hadn't jumped in to disrupt the situation, my generation could have weakened the power of the theocratic families and opened up pathways for the common people!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Su Lin shook his head, "Don't kid yourself. Even without my intervention, you won't be able to succeed. You should know this in your heart."

Joan of Arc was a little silent. She knew that the other party was right. Even if she could manage the church stably for a hundred years, at most it would only weaken the five major families. But if the five major families were weakened, there would be new theocratic families on top. Those families that supported her would always Work only when there is profit.

And after he abdicates in old age, he doesn't know whether the next pope will have the courage to go against the five major families.

No, the next pope will definitely be elected by the five major families, and they will avoid the situation of their own generation.

It won’t be long before the Eternal Night Church will return to its previous appearance.

Perhaps only war, complete changes, and a complete reshuffle can change the current situation of the Eternal Night Church.

"Now you know what I'm here for."

Su Lin smiled and said, saluting, "His Majesty the Pope, I am not your enemy, but your friend."
