There are more and more voices supporting Wood, and the situation is intensifying. Even the "Papist" people want to support Cliff, but they feel a little powerless at this moment.
It would have been fine in the past, but after the civil strife and beast tide, Milis Church's combat strength is now less than 30%, and its reputation has also dropped to the bottom. At this moment, it really does not have much say in front of the masses.
"Forget it, Wood is indeed more suitable to be the Pope of Milis Church than me.
After all, when the citizens of the Holy Kingdom of Milis were in danger, he was the one who stepped forward and was able to resolve the civil unrest and beast tides in the church, mostly because of Wood's contribution.
Compared to me, Wood is not only powerful, but also smart, and even has a very gentle and polite personality. I am indeed far behind him."
Cliff actually didn't have much idea about the position of pope in Milis. In fact, he preferred the academic life at Lanoa Magic Academy to being the pope of Milis Church.
The reason why he agreed to the "Papists" was mostly because Cliff didn't want to live up to his grandfather's expectations, and wanted to at least fulfill his grandfather's last wish and shoulder such a heavy burden.
But if the competitor is Wood, to be honest, Cliff really has no hope of winning.
Although he has not known Wood for a long time, during this time, Cliff has fully felt what a monster Rudy's brother is.
No matter in terms of strength, talent, wisdom or even how to deal with people and personality, in Cliff's view, Wood has almost no shortcomings.
He has always been a person with a somewhat inferior self-esteem, and Wood's existence is as dazzling as the bright moon in the night.
More and more people are supporting Wood, so much so that Wood, who originally came to watch the show, now feels like he is riding a tiger.
Although it is not impossible to refuse the good intentions of these people, it will make the new Pope Cliff lose face, because his position of "Pope" was obtained by withdrawing from the competition, and it may be difficult to convince the public once he takes office.
Moreover, rejecting the kindness of these people will also cause Wood to lose a lot of the favorability and reputation he had worked so hard to build for the Latorrea family, which is not worth the gain.
So after hesitating for a moment, Wood still had a smile on his lips, and slowly walked in front of everyone, taking over the position of "Pope" of Milis Church.
When he heard Wood's decision, Rudy, who had been comforting his friends by saying that Wood would not succeed as pope, was also dumbfounded. Then he turned to Cliff with an apologetic look and said, "Really.
I'm sorry, Cliff, I don't know what that guy Wood is thinking.
Based on my usual understanding of him, he would not do such a thing, and he has always hated such troublesome things..."
With his brother on one side and his best friend on the other, Rudy, caught in the middle, could only apologize to his friend Cliff frantically at this moment.
At the same time, Rudy was really puzzled. Based on his understanding of Wood, he really couldn't figure out why Wood would take over the position of Pope.
"It's okay, Rudy, if it's Wood, he is indeed more suitable for this position than me."
Cliff looked at Rudy in front of him and forced a smile on his face, but as a good friend, Rudy could see that Cliff was a little lonely at this moment.
And just when Rudy looked angry and planned to go on stage to grab Wood and ask him what the hell he was doing, Wood, who had just succeeded the ninth pope on the stage, directly took off the crown he had just received from the priest.
He spoke to the scepter: "The ninth pope of Umiles, Wood Greyrat, has now announced his official abdication.
And I handed over the papal position to the tenth Pope, Cliff Grimour, and now I invite my successor to step forward to take over the papal scepter and crown."
Wood, who had just become the Pope of Milis, had not even warmed up his butt yet. What he suddenly said once again made everyone present dumbfounded.
No one thought that Wood would actually perform such a cool operation!
It is not uncommon for a pope to abdicate himself, but this is definitely the first time in history that a pope has abdicated so hastily!
When he heard what Wood said, Rudy was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed an expression of realization.
"Sure enough, that guy Wood is still the Wood I know, and he is still as smart as before. Letting Cliff succeed the pope in this way is indeed the best way at the moment."
If the previous Wood had withdrawn from the competition or made concessions, it would undoubtedly disappoint those who supported him, and even have a certain impact on the Latorrea family. After all, the Holy Kingdom of Milis is a religious country, and it is extremely extreme.
It’s not that there are no believers.
Moreover, the position of pope vacated by Wood was obviously difficult to convince the people of Milis, and it was not a glorious thing for Cliff himself.
But the situation is different now. Wood succeeded Milis as the ninth pope and lived up to the expectations of those who supported him. Then, just minutes after becoming pope, he transferred the position of "pope" to
Let Cliff take over.
The biggest advantage of doing this is that Wood responded to everyone's expectations while preserving Cliff's face to the greatest extent.
They all became the Pope of Milis, but the difference was one before the other, and Cliff's position as Pope was not obtained through charity, but a serious inheritance.
The priest who presided over the handover ceremony was stunned when he saw this dramatic scene in front of him, and he didn't even know what to say.
On the other hand, the previous "Papists", seeing the twists and turns at this moment, couldn't help but show extremely excited expressions, and directly kicked the priest in charge of the handover ceremony and said: "Why are you still standing there? You didn't listen.
To Lord Pope Wood?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mr. Wood is about to abdicate in favor of Mr. Cliff. Isn’t this your job? If you can’t do it well, don’t be an eyesore. I can do it too.
Make a guest appearance as master of ceremonies."
After realizing the significance of Wood's move, the papists were so excited that even the usually elegant priests and priests were hurling foul language at this moment.
And the eyes of all the Papists looking at Wood at this moment were full of gratitude and respect.
Obviously, even if Wood becomes the new pope, it is completely justified. Not to mention Wood's own explosive combat power and the support of the La Torrea family, Wood's current reputation in the Holy Kingdom of Milis alone,
It has reached a level that no one can compare with, not even the old pope before.
Since Wood, who has strength, prestige and background, once becomes the pope, it will be useless how much they support Cliff, and they will even be ignored by Wood soon.
However, what the Popes never expected was that Wood was so broad-minded. Not only did he not pursue their previous actions, he even paved the way for Lord Cliff to ascend to the throne and did so much.
Generally speaking, the higher the status in the church, the more people who do not believe in God. However, at this moment, the senior priests and priests of the papal sect vaguely believe that Wood is not really the so-called "messenger of God".
”.
Because the other party is too noble in terms of strength, character and other aspects, even to the extent that it makes the knights feel ashamed.
Wood chose to voluntarily abdicate. Although the people of Milis who supported Wood were a little disappointed, they could not say anything in the end. After all, this was Lord Wood's own choice.
Moreover, the newly appointed Pope Cliff is also quite enlightened. In order to thank the Holy Kingdom of Woodmillis and the church for what he has done, he specially created a new position "High Priest" for Wood in the church.
It also means that the status of the "high priest" in the church is the same as that of the "pope", but he does not need to stay in the church, he can move around freely, and he does not have to perform any duties as a teacher.
To put it simply, this position is a false position. Although it has a very high status, it has no real power, and accordingly, it does not need to perform any duties. It is just a status symbol.
Cliff's operation has also been unanimously recognized by the "Papists", and they all believe that although Cliff is still young, he is definitely a talent that can be created!
Where is Wood's status and reputation in the Holy Kingdom of Miris? Even if he leaves the Holy Kingdom of Miris, it will have a great follow-up impact. There will even be a new sect that believes in Wood in the Theocracy. This is not
It's completely impossible.
After all, the reputation of Milis Church is at its lowest point now, while Wood's reputation is at the peak of its popularity because of saving the theocracy.
At this time, if someone with evil intentions uses Wood's name to form a religious order, causing the entire Holy Kingdom of Miris to split, this is not completely impossible.
But when Cliff pushed Wood to the position of "high priest" of the Millis Church, the situation was completely different.
Although the "high priest" has a transcendent status, he has no rights, and he can also tie the powerful Lord Wood to the chariot of Milis Church.
Furthermore, many believers have been disappointed with the Milis Church due to the current civil strife and the beast tide, but as a hero, Lord Wood has become the "high priest" of their church, which will undoubtedly help him regain his faith more quickly.
A simple move, but it achieved the effect of killing three birds with one stone. It not only prevented the split of the Theocracy, but also got a strong man like Wood, and it also helped the Milis Church to reunite its faith. For this reason, they
All that was paid was a false title of extremely high status.
And just when the people from the Papal faction expressed their appreciation for Cliff's excellent decision-making, what he said shocked the people of Milis Church again.
Because according to Cliff himself, the reason why he made this decision was actually suggested by Wood himself!
At that time, Cliff didn't think too much, and he didn't hesitate too much about Wood, who had helped him so much. But what he didn't expect was that Wood wanted the position of "high priest", but he actually didn't want it.
Not for myself, but for him and the church.
And after knowing the cause and effect of the matter, other people in Milis Church couldn't help but sigh, there really are such perfect people in this world.
Not only is his strength incredible, but he is also able to do everything in his dealings and strategic planning. What is incredible is that the other party is only a boy under fifteen years old!
According to the information Wood and the others obtained from Latar, another believer of the Human God, named Leda Leah, is currently in the Kingdom of Asra, and is still a quite famous existence, and his strength is far from
Latar is comparable.
The Kingdom of Asra, the kingdom where Paul's "Greyrat" family is located, is located in the northern part of the Central Continent. If you start from the Milis Continent, it will span almost half of the world.
During this period, you must first land in the Central Continent through Westport, first pass through the Wanglong Kingdom, then pass through the entire Wanglong Mountains, then pass through the Sanakiya Kingdom, the Kika Kingdom, the Shillong Kingdom, and finally pass through the dispute zone before arriving at Asth.
Kingdom of La.
Because the distance was too long, and Wood could not predict what would happen on the way, Wood did not plan to take his family with him on this journey, which also caused Nolen and Aisha to cry to death.
In the past, as long as the two sisters used their trump card and cried bitterly while hugging their brother's lap, no matter what happened, their brother Wood would relent and agree. However, this time Wood's attitude was quite firm, even if the two little lolita cried.
He was not even a little moved by the pear blossoms and the rain.
Senis originally disagreed with this matter, but couldn't stand it anymore and Elder Claire took action and directly suppressed her rebellious daughter.
"This time I promised to help you suppress your mother. I hope you can keep your promise and officially inherit the position of the head of the Latorrea family after the matter is over.
I'm old enough that I can't wait much longer, and as you've seen, your mother and Therese are both unsatisfactory people who have no ability to shoulder the responsibility of this family."
Claire initially disagreed with Wood's desire to leave the Holy Kingdom of Milis, but the bargaining chips Wood offered were too tempting, so Claire had no choice but to compromise.
"After I deal with the humans and gods and my family has no worries, I will keep my promise, grandma.
But after I leave, don’t raise any objections to the church. Cliff is a very good man, unlike the old pope, and he will govern this theocracy very well."
What Wood said before leaving obviously stunned Claire for a moment. Then when Wood turned to leave, she slightly raised the corner of her mouth and said to herself: "Have you still been discovered by that child?"
It's true that when the church elected a new pope, the person who suddenly appeared and supported Wood was not an accident, but was arranged by Claire.
Because in her opinion, Wood is fully qualified to succeed the pope and push the Latorrea family to a higher peak.
