Chapter 659 Candidate for the Supreme Pope

The organization of Puritanism in England is like an ancient stringed instrument.

In addition to the "owner", this musical instrument also has a "manager".

Using the violin as an analogy, even if it is a good violin, if it is not used for a while, the strings will relax and the resonance chamber will become old, making the sound no longer beautiful.

And it's Laura Stuart's job to play instead of the owner and keep the violin in perfect condition.

But, as with Canterbury Abbey's relationship with St George's Cathedral, the nominal and de facto positions have now been reversed, and the rightful power rests in her hands.

——That’s right, it’s like a sign of the changing process of the importance of St. George’s Cathedral.

Although named the Cathedral, St George's Cathedral is actually just one of many churches in central London.Although the church building is not small, it can be said to be very different from world-renowned tourist attractions such as Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral.

Of course, compared with the Canterbury Abbey, which was the founding place of Puritanism in England, it is not the same.

It is only because of the cruel history of witch hunting, religious trials, and even the dark sanctuary where the famous French Saint Joan of Arc was burned to death, that it really has some reputation.

But in fact, in London, there are too many buildings named "St. George".In addition to churches, there are also department stores, restaurants, clothing stores, schools, etc. There may be dozens of them in the downtown area alone.

Not as much as Rome, but London has as many churches as parks.

Not only that, there may be more than ten churches with the full name of "St. George's Cathedral". The close relationship between "St. George" and the British can be seen even from the Union Jack.

The so-called St. George's Cathedral was originally the base of the "Church of Necessary Evil", a peripheral organization of the church.

Within the huge organization of the English Puritan Church, the members of the Church of Necessary Evil had a rather low status and played a less honorable role.

But then, things took an unexpected turn.

The peripheral organizations of the church, which have silently contributed countless achievements, gradually accumulated trust and real power, and gradually turned back to the client.Until now, the apparent organizational heart of English Puritanism has remained Canterbury Abbey.

But the decision-making power in the bones has been completely transferred to St. George's Cathedral.

This cathedral, which is a little far from central London, has now become the core institution that governs the huge national religion of Puritanism in England.Besides Laura Stuart, the person who created this situation single-handedly.

—Are there any other suspects?
……

……

"Hehe...you're so narrow-minded, are you planning to find a place for your followers? Meow? As you, why should you stick to such trivial matters?"

Hearing that the boy on the opposite side seems to be talking to himself, he wants to slowly reveal his secrets and his not-so-glorious past.

The expression on the top bishop's exquisite face suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, she interrupted hastily, and seemed to be staring at the opposite person with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

"Well, it's just a feeling. To be honest, although I want to let the little black cat grow up well, but her character and experience are doomed. It is impossible to reach your level."

Mu Xiu looked away, then picked up a scoop of ice cream in front of him, and said calmly.

He looked at the girl opposite with a strange emotion that was not concealed at all, appreciating and admiring, but it was not of the possessive type, but a look of joy at seeing a hunter.

To put it simply, a big director has met the best actors, and a big singer has found the best lyricists... He also feels like a big boss who has just started a business, feeling that he has met the talent he needs most.

After all, people like Laura Stuart, in Mu Xiu's eyes, are basically SSR quality five-star character cards.

But it is a pity that the other party has already joined other companies, and through years of hard work, using his own scheming and skills, he has gradually controlled the entire British Puritan organization step by step.

Of course, Mu Xiu didn't think it was a problem. At most, his side was not so attractive to the other party at the beginning.

So he was not polite, and after blinking his eyes, he asked with a natural expression: "Recently, my missionary career has just started, but I encountered a little obstacle... Is Miss Laura interested in coming to help me?"

"..."

"..."

"I'm really sorry, thank you for your love meow... But I don't have such plans for now—"

Maybe he didn't expect that the other party came here to say such words. The expression on the face of the British Puritan Supreme Bishop was as if someone found that the buttons on his shirt were buttoned wrong. He was stunned for a moment at first, and then stopped completely.

Then her entire face turned red, she looked away and said in a low voice, tactfully rejecting such an inexplicable and whimsical proposal from the other party.

Mu Xiu nodded clearly: "I understand, that is to say, there is no such plan "temporarily"? "

His articulation of a certain word is quite clear, and it seems self-evident as to what kind of subtext he wants to express.

"Wait, wait, that, maybe I don't have such a plan in the future..." Laura's expression was a little stiff, she seemed to be a little panicked, and she added something with a wave of her hands.

Having said that, shouldn't this be a bit of a polite way of saying, can't this person understand the art of human language?

It is precisely because he knows what kind of existence the other party is, perhaps the incarnation of God's touch, that's why the chief bishop of the Puritan Church in England is so polite.

Even if the other party is an alien god, he is not an existence that he can treat rudely, and the god of the Christian faith has issued a new covenant, which is enough to explain everything——

This is a god other than god.

No matter what, the power it possesses can truly rival the power of the Creator.At least being able to make the Lord who should be supreme and unique is also extremely important.

To be honest, Laura is indeed quite curious about such a legendary existence, but after meeting her now...she feels that it seems to be completely different from the image of a master who is superior and indifferent to all living beings in her imagination .

Maybe it's because this is the incarnation of God's touch?
But no matter what, at least Laura felt that it was much easier to face an incarnation of a human god than to face the real god, which was why she didn't show the slightest restraint before.

——Because after realizing the essence of the other party, she immediately adjusted her attitude.

This is why Mu Xiu is so interested in her, because the black cat will never be able to reach the level of Laura.

After all, a person who has the strength to command a huge organization, is ruthless and unscrupulous for the benefit of the organization, and can control various "balances of values" such as human emotions, rationality, interests, and ethics in the palm of his hand.

But at the same time, he has an affinity that can naturally blend into the surroundings, and will not be alienated from others because of his status as the supreme bishop.No matter with anyone, you can quarrel, swear, riot, and sometimes cry...

Undoubtedly, Mu Xiu can say with certainty that this is definitely an excellent candidate to be the Supreme Pope.

Therefore, after hearing the words of refusal, he first narrowed his eyes slightly, but the brows that had just been frowned immediately relaxed again, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Miss Laura, there's no need to refuse so quickly. I'm quite sincere... As the actual leader of the British Puritan Church, although the status in the entire world is supreme, are you satisfied with just this?"

The archbishop who looked like a girl blinked, sighed helplessly, and then said quite concisely and forcefully:

"You're joking meow, I'm just a little bishop, everything I do is purely for the belief in my lord, not..."

For some reason, she watched the other party's clear black eyes staring at her, and couldn't help but whispered more and more, which seemed to be a sign of guilt.

Mu Xiu said leisurely, "Keep talking, I'm very interested."

"..."

"..."

"Anyway... that's it... ah ha ha ha meow..." Laura's voice trembled slightly, sweat dripped from her cheeks, and her eyes wandered around.

"Do you know that I am in charge of all causes and effects, and everything in the world can be explained by direct or indirect causal relationships, whether tangible or abstract..."

Mu Xiu looked at her silently, and then said softly.

"It doesn't mean that there must be such an intuitive phenomenon as "when a person is killed, he will die", for example, "because of" a certain reason, "so" joining a certain religious organization, such a thing also has a complete causal relationship... ..."

Because of the pious belief, I joined the Puritan Church in England, and prepared to dedicate my life to the supreme and unique Lord——

It's a pity that Mu Xiu is in charge of all karma, but he couldn't find such a record from it.In other words, whether Laura really has faith is also very debatable.

"Ugh... don't say it..."

"Well, let's not talk about whether your beliefs are pious, or even whether you have any beliefs." Mu Xiu nodded, and then asked curiously: "Can I ask a question?"

"Why are you so cautious, tell me."

Seeing the hope of getting rid of that embarrassing situation, Laura hurriedly straightened her sitting posture, and replied in a noble and indifferent manner, using the chant-like tone of a lady.

After thinking about a lot of doubts, Mu Xiu finally asked, "Why does your Japanese sound so stupid?"

"Ah...huh...? It's...very weird, meow? Isn't "Japanese" just like that? "

Laura's graceful and dignified figure froze immediately. This seems to be a more serious problem?

"Yes, to be honest, your Japanese is very strange, or you think of us as "little idiots"..." Mu Xiu nodded naturally, "Although this kind of tone is full of uniqueness, as long as you like it. OK, but what exactly is the situation? "

"Ah... woo... My Japanese is the result of my many studies with reference to literature and TV programs, and I even asked a real Japanese to guide me..."

Although the surrounding area was a shopping street in the early morning, the office workers in suits who passed by in a hurry probably couldn't understand what I said, but Laura felt that the hustle and bustle around her turned into snickering laughter directed at her.

"Well, who are your so-called "real Japanese"? "

"Then...the cat named Tsuchimikado Motoharu..."

"I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood something. He is just a dangerous person who would put his godsister into a maid outfit with lust. He is just an ordinary pervert... Asia is not so wonderful."

Mu Xiu deliberately gave her a regretful look, shook his head and sighed.

"It...it happened! Oops...then I should quickly correct my wrong Japanese!"

The archbishop, whose status is extremely high in the whole world, first explained helplessly, but the more he spoke the language, the more confused he became.

"No, I won't be bothered—why should I bother thinking about the inconvenient language of a small country in the Far East meow!?"

In the end, crystal liquid accumulated in the corners of her eyes, and she yelled as if giving up on herself.

The pigeons resting on the road not far away were all frightened and flew up.
