Probably because she knew Icarus was there, Gu Ruojiao wasn't very worried.
The system is starting to look good.
Gu Ruojiao was very strange. It was a rare moment that this system became enlightened. Didn't she usually criticize her for not doing anything and men doing all the work for her?
Probably the voice in her heart was too loud for the system to ignore, so she cleared her throat: Erqiu is just thinking about it. Anyway, as long as the task can be completed in the end, who can do it? Reasonable use of resources is also a way.
Gu Ruojiao: "..."
Gu Ruojiao: Don't throw back what I said before!
The system is not guilty at all: Erqiu is praising the host for your intelligence!
Gu Ruojiao couldn't hear it at all.
Just as he was about to fight back, he heard the bell on the temple tower ringing.
Gu Ruojiao sat upright in excitement: "The show is about to begin!"
I saw Pope Barron slowly walking to the altar of the temple, under which stood a row of clergy and noble lords.
The king stood at the front, holding the royal staff in his hand, and behind him stood the knights.
Barron felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it.
At this time, he was still full of confidence, thinking that the empire was always firmly under his control, so how could he put the king and the mere knights in his eyes.
He raised his chin and was about to speak when he saw Icarus standing up.
Barron frowned slightly: "Priest Icarus, if you have anything else, please talk to me later."
Icarus ignored his words and bowed slightly toward the person below.
His aura is not overbearing, and his movements and attitude are neither hasty nor slow, but it still gives people a sense of oppression that dare not interrupt him.
"I am here to convey God's will." He said.
The clergy below subconsciously looked at the Pope and Gu Ruojiao on the altar.
Their god was sitting on the holy throne without any expression, while Pope Barron was frowning deeply.
Barron: "Priest Icarus! Do you know that pretending to be God's will is a sin that will lead you to hell!"
Icarus smiled slightly: "Pope Barron, you haven't heard what I said, how do you know that what I said is not God's will?"
Barron: "Of course I know! Because I'm the Pope!"
Icarus still laughed: "Is a person who cannot hear God's will worthy of being the pope?"
Barron was slightly stunned.
Because Icarus said it right.
Indeed, he had stopped hearing God's will a long time ago.
At that time, he just thought it was because God had already come to this world, so he didn't care.
But since the god came to the world, his power has become weaker and weaker, and now he can hardly use light magic.
It was then that Balon realized that he had been abandoned by God.
Therefore, he was resentful, jealous, and unwilling, and put all his faults on the gods who came to the world.
What baptism and purification are all fake!
He just wants her not to become a god, but to degenerate into a demon!
Thinking of this, Barron couldn't hide the twisted jealousy in his heart.
When the clergy in the audience heard this, they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
It was also at this time that they recalled that their pope seemed to have not blessed the people for a long time.
"how so?"
"Is what Priest Icarus said true?"
"That can't be true. If Pope Barron can't hear God's will, wouldn't it be a joke?!"
"But I heard before that Pope Barron actually..."
People below were talking a lot, and the situation seemed to be getting out of control.
