Demon King

In the tower of the gods, Red Archbishop Benedero sighed and said: "Under the crown, why do you want to step down?"

The Pope smiled, "Neither Saint Landau nor I want to sit in this position."

"Oh, it's too sudden." Benedero shook his head. He is a loyal friend of the Pope. The two big brothers resign, and the Church forces will reshuffle the cards. Old people like him will lose the support and protection of the highest level. He didn't want the pope and the patriarch to abdicate whether it was out of feelings or interests.

"We have things we must do, and continuing to serve as the head of the church will only distract us." The patriarch said.

Benedero wondered what could be more important than the position of the head of the church, but he didn't dare to ask. Even if the pope and the head of the church step down, the two are still the two strongest antiquities in the church.

The pope suddenly said, "In the final vote, let your people lobby the vacillating high-level, don't let Del Passani and his nominated patriarchal candidate come to the top."

Benedro's turbid old eyes flashed abruptly, "Understood."

...

Del Passani looked at Canaan lightly, "You got a vote for Ivo?"

Canaan nodded, "I showed his favor a month ago. He is the only friend he is familiar with in the church. His vote should fall on me."

"I don't want words like'should' or possible'," Del Passani said coldly, "If you can't confirm, ③≌long③≌wind③≌wen③≌learn, w★ww.cfw⊕x.ne√ t Then don’t count him! I want absolute certainty!"

Canaan nodded silently.

Del Passani knocked on the table and said indifferently: "You have to get the top five in the assessment, otherwise all previous efforts will be lost. If my plan goes wrong, you know what will end up, and I hope you are not a waste."

Del Passani’s tone was very rude, but Canaan was not unrelenting. Originally, at his age, it was impossible to participate in the Patriarch election. Even if the list of candidates was not confirmed, Canaan knew that he must be the youngest. The least qualified. If you miss this election, you won’t have such an opportunity for at least decades. It was Del Passani who gave him the opportunity to help him compete for the patriarch. The price was to obey Del Passani’s words.

For the great benefit, Canaan is willing to temporarily become Del Passani's subordinate.

"The old forces of the Pope will do their best to obstruct me," Del Passani said: "I will take you to visit all the high-levels who can be wooed. Your qualifications are too low, so your performance must be flawless. If there is a slight mistake, I Your nomination will be cancelled."

Canaan's tone was firm, "I understand, I won't let you down."

After waving Canaan to leave, Del Passani folded his hands on his lower abdomen and smiled faintly: "Saint John, your time is finally over, and it's my turn next."

...

Sacred Tree Learning City has a continuous journey from Eden, the holy place of the church. After half a month of departure, Ivo went smoothly along the way.

The sun was shining on the black cloak coat. At this time, Ivo was riding the white horse of the church and walking slowly on the path on the ridge. This was a shortcut to the Sacred Tree School City and deviated from the road.

The Jiaoting White Horse has a thin unicorn pedigree. It is a horse breed specially bred by the Jiaoting. It has a noble temperament and a superb body. The whole body is pure white and colorless, just like spotless snow.

Luna followed in secret. Although the Pope is no longer watching, Ivo is still careful. Luna is a big heresy no matter what, she is still the murderer who killed the Arbitrator Brandt. There are many eyes in the church, and the two are separated and compared. safe.

It is now the new bud month, and the continuous green fields are like turquoise silk and satin, covering the earthy yellow ground, and new green leaves have grown on the branches, full of vitality.

There were no farmers working on the field. Ivo took out a detailed map to view it. This field belonged to a small town, Luye Town. The town was not far in front. Iwo decided to settle down in Luye Town and buy food and drinks.

After riding for two hours, the town of Luye was in sight, but Ivo's face changed slightly, and he smelled a trace of blood from a long distance away. The gate of Luye Town was closed, and the gate was made of iron core wood and copper and iron. It was full of chisel marks from weapon collisions, and mottled blood was solidified on the low Qingyan town wall. It seemed that a fierce battle had taken place. There were a few light spots on the wall, which were clusters of arrows reflecting sunlight.

Ivo rode closer. At about fifty meters, several men stood up from the wall and shouted at Ivo: "Stop! Otherwise we will shoot arrows!"

After a glance, the men on the wall wore plain clothes and rusty bow gestures. They were just ordinary civilians without combat training. Ivo said, "I want to go into the town to buy something. What happened here?"

Several men were whispering, and not long after, an old man walked up the wall and said: "Master, I am the mayor of Luye Town. A seam broke near our town. A group of underground races attacked the town. I'm sorry that we are very nervous and don't want to sell."

Ivo’s white horse looks very expensive. The mayor thinks he is a nobleman, and commoners generally call the nobleman "Master".

Ivo thought for a while, "I am a church priest, I can help you in exchange for supplies."

The mayor’s eyes lit up, “It turned out to be a priest. That’s great. Our church was destroyed in the battle. Only one priest is left. We are in need of the help of the gods. Please come in.”

The door opened, and Ivo entered the town under the mayor’s greet. The streets of the town were stained with blood. Many houses were damaged and burnt to varying degrees. Many children with dusty faces ran to the side of the road and looked at Yi curiously. Wo this stranger.

"Our town has withstood three invasions by underground monsters. One was breached and many talents were lost to defend the town. There were originally two thousand men in the town, but now there are less than two hundred people who can fight. We can't stop it. Attack next time." The mayor sighed.

Ivo touched his chin. He didn't care about the life and death of Luye Town, but he was short of supplies in this town within a radius of tens of miles. However, Luye Town did not sell supplies. He would not rob a group of victims for food. I had to stay and see the situation first,

At this time, a young pastor who was about twenty years old ran out, saw Ivo, his eyes brightened, and hurriedly asked: "Are you a member of the church?"

Ivo nodded.

The young priest asked hopefully, "Are you a night watchman?"

Ivo shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary priest."

The young priest heard the words and made no secret of the disappointment on his face, "We need people who can fight. Only they can repel the underground monsters. Can you inform the night watchman?"

Ivo shook his head, "No way."

"Oh..." The young priest looked lost, shaking his head and walking away.

"He is the only priest left?" Ivo looked weird, isn't the night watchman so disappointed?

"Bendik, he is the apprentice pastor of the church. He has not been recognized by the godfather. He is just an apprentice." The mayor smiled bitterly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the night watchman is the combat power of the church, and most civilians only have the impression of praying to the gods and worshiping the priests.

Several sturdy men in chain armor and carrying large swords and axes walked over. They were not like ordinary people. Ivo glanced at them and asked, "There are mercenaries in the town?"

"When the town was attacked, dozens of mercenaries were stranded, and we hired them," the mayor said, "and we have already asked the lord for help, and reinforcements will arrive in a few days."

Ivo nodded ~www.wuxiamtl.com~At this moment, a little boy ran over crying.

"Uncle Mayor, my sister is missing!"

The mayor's face changed, and he sighed, "This is the sixth episode."

"What's the matter?" Ivo asked puzzled.

"Since the town was attacked, every few days, there have been people missing in the town. We can't find them at all. Most of the missing are young women."

Seeing the town’s long sigh, Ivo said: "Mr. Mayor, I am willing to provide assistance in exchange for supplies. Is there anything I can help?"

The mayor thought for a while. With Bendik’s preconceived impression, he thought Ivo had little combat effectiveness, and said: “Mr. Priest, please go to the church to take care of our wounded. You should be familiar with this job.”

Ivo looked weird and nodded, "Okay."
