Archbishop Fowler turned around and saw Archbishop Brandon in white robes holding a scepter walking from a short distance away with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
"Brandon, what do you want to do?"
"I should be asking you this, Fowler." Archbishop Brandon glanced at Arthur, who followed Archbishop Fowler, and sneered: "The Pope has ordered the sealing of the Sword in the Stone, and you knowingly brought it
Your Highness, Fourth Prince, what do you want to do?"
"The Pope just doesn't allow irrelevant people to get close to the Sword in the Stone, and I am the archbishop, don't I have the qualifications?"
Archbishop Brandon said "Oh" and said to the monk beside him: "Write it down, Archbishop Fowler said that he is not an unrelated person, maybe he is implying that he is related to The Sword in the Stone."
"Yes, Archbishop."
The monk took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down these words.
Archbishop Fowler's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "Do you think the Pope will believe this report if it is sent to him?"
"The Pope may not believe it, but he will definitely doubt you...Don't remember this sentence."
"yes!"
"Now everyone is claiming that the sword in the stone is related to you, Fowler." Archbishop Brandon said: "How dare you come here at this juncture? You also brought the fourth prince with you... This is enough to prove a lot of things.
"
"Prove what? Does the fact that I brought the fourth prince here admit the rumors? If there are rumors that Nicholas intends to rebel, and he goes to the army, does this count as evidence of admission?"
"You are using strong words. Everyone knows that Nicholas cannot rebel. He supports His Majesty."
"So why do you doubt me? Just because I brought the Fourth Prince here? This is simply slander..."
Crack!
The sound of friction between steel and stone came. Archbishop Brandon's eyes widened suddenly and he looked behind Archbishop Fowler. Archbishop Fowler swallowed, with a bad premonition in his heart, and slowly turned back...
Arthur was holding a sword and looked at him with a face full of astonishment. The sword in the stone disappeared and he pulled it out.
Because of the appearance of Archbishop Brandon, Archbishop Fowler didn't have time to do anything, but Arthur actually pulled out the sword!
"Hahaha! Fowler! Let me see how you explain it now!"
Archbishop Brandon laughed a few times and was about to leave when he heard Archbishop Fowler say: "This is a misunderstanding! The stone must have become loose just now! With so many people drawing swords recently, it is normal for them to become loose!"
"Do you believe this reason?"
"Your Highness, just put the sword back in and let Brandon pull it out and you will know!"
"no problem."
Arthur agreed very happily and inserted the holy sword back intact. Archbishop Brandon climbed up the stone, held the holy sword and said at the same time: "Fowler, you should understand that this is your last chance to quibble.
If I can't pull it out, you won't be able to argue."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Archbishop Fowler gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry and pull it out!"
Archbishop Brandon exerted force in his hands, but the holy sword did not move at all, just like last time.
Seeing that he couldn't pull out the holy sword, Archbishop Fowler, who didn't believe in evil, stepped forward and tried, but he couldn't pull it out either.
Arthur tried again, and with almost no effort, the holy sword broke away from the stone.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Archbishop Brandon walked away and went to complain to the Pope.
That night, Pope Umbry I called several parties involved, namely Mavey, Archbishop Brandon and Archbishop Fowler, to hold a secret meeting at St. Paul's Cathedral.
Archbishop Brandon and Ma Wei both looked unhappy, Archbishop Fowler even more so, with a gloomy face, and King Ubli I was also unhappy, saying in a deep voice:
"Fowler, what do you want to say?"
"Pope, I didn't do this!" Archbishop Fowler argued vigorously: "Why should I create a sword in the stone to make everyone think that the fourth prince is the destined king? Could it be that a sword can do that?
Decide who will be king?”
"I have asked the goddess about this matter, and she..."
"What did the goddess say?"
Ubli I shook his head and sighed: "The goddess didn't answer me. This is fate."
"Is the emergence of the Sword in the Stone inevitable?" Archbishop Fowler asked in shock: "Is it not man-made, but a real existence?"
"I don't know, but the consequences of this matter are very serious."
King Ubli I looked at Ma Wei and Archbishop Brandon: "The current king is Shukri I. He ascended the throne not long ago, and everyone recognizes his status as king. At present, the development of the Kingdom of Windsor is going very smoothly, and there is no need to change the king at all.
..."
Archbishop Fowler said excitedly as if he were grasping at straw: "Pope, are you going to go against the will of the goddess and the guidance of fate? The fourth prince is the chosen king! He should be the king!"
"The emergence of the Sword in the Stone is destiny, but the accession of the fourth prince to the throne is not necessarily destiny." Ubli I said: "The goddess did not give us a response, which proves that she had expected it, so we can just let nature take its course."
"Let nature take its course! To let the fourth prince ascend the throne is to let nature take its course!" Archbishop Fowler said: "We need a real king!"
"Archbishop Fowler." Ma Wei interrupted him: "Let nature take its course means not to interfere, but you keep interfering. Isn't this against the will of the goddess?"
Archbishop Brandon nodded and said: "Nicholas is right. True believers should follow the will of the goddess, not interfere with this matter, and let it develop naturally."
Even Pope Umbry I agreed with Mavey and Archbishop Brandon. Even if a vote was held, he would be at a disadvantage. Archbishop Fowler could only agree.
Back at the grocery store, the second prince was already waiting.
"Nicholas, how is the situation?"
Seeing Ma Wei's return, the second prince couldn't wait to ask: "What are the Pope's plans to do with Arthur?"
"There is no penalty."
"Why?!"
The second prince roared angrily: "The Sword in the Stone is obviously man-made, and the mastermind behind it has been found! Why isn't it punished?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After telling the Pope's verdict and the goddess's decision, the second prince sat down with a dejected face: "Let nature take its course... What does this mean? Let me be good.
Hand over the throne?"
"No, Your Majesty, I think it's quite the opposite."
"What's the meaning?"
"Not only can we not hand over the throne, we must also fight Archbishop Fowler to the end!"
"But..."
The second prince looked at Ma Wei blankly: "But doesn't the goddess not allow believers to interfere in this matter?"
"First of all, I am only a member of the church, not a believer of the goddess." Ma Wei straightened his clothes and said, "Secondly, Your Majesty, do you think Archbishop Fowler will abide by the will of the goddess?"
"Archbishop Fowler is a believer in the goddess, he will definitely abide by it!"
"I don't think he will." Ma Wei said his reason: "The goddess did not explicitly ask believers to do what they want. Let nature take its course. It is just the Pope's guess. Regarding the sword in the stone, the goddess of fate did not give any specific instructions.
Answer, but this at least proves one thing - the appearance of the sword in the stone is a link of fate."
"If I guess correctly, the appearance of the Sword in the Stone will lead destiny to two different routes, just like Dambala. This is the bifurcation point of destiny, so the goddess did not respond."
The second prince asked strangely: "On the issue of Dambala, the God of Voodoo, doesn't the goddess want to stop it? Faced with the fork of fate, the goddess should respond!"
"The bifurcation point of destiny brought about by Dambala is likely to be the end of human destiny, so the goddess has to step in to stop it, but the emergence of the sword in the stone may not cause too serious consequences, but another destiny
That’s why the goddess didn’t interfere.” Ma Wei said.
"That is to say..." The second prince opened his mouth: "Whether I become the king or Arthur becomes the king, it is a link of fate?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I see!"
The eyes of the second prince burst out with light: "We really should fight! Since both Arthur and I can do it, why not me! Nicholas, do you have any good ideas? Can you just get rid of Arthur?"
"Archbishop Fowler will protect the fourth prince, but Archbishop Brandon and the Pope both believe that we should let nature take its course. They will not help. In terms of force, we are at a disadvantage."
"Let the Royal Navy capture Arthur overnight and shoot him on the spot!"
"Your Majesty, please be serious. Archbishop Fowler is not a vegetarian. He was the first person to stop the Church of Truth back then. When it comes to courage, he is definitely among the best. Killing several Royal Marines is not a problem for him."
"Are we just going to watch them overthrow me?"
"You are the king now. If the church does not intervene, what situation will cause the king to change his position?"
"Revolution, or the king losing the support of parliament and the people!"
"Your Majesty, please think about it again, why did Archbishop Fowler want to create a sword in the stone?"
"The direction of public opinion, the support of believers...the war of public opinion!"
The second prince suddenly realized, and under Ma Wei's guidance, he suddenly understood a lot: "Archbishop Fowler is destroying my foundation of trust! Only in this way can he shake my position!"
When it comes to the public base, the second prince is obviously not as good as the fourth prince. As the leader of the Labor Party, the fourth prince has long established a high enough prestige in the hearts of the people. What's more, he is also the president of the Educators Association, and the next generation he will train will also support it.
he.
The second prince felt the crisis, and he realized that Arthur had developed enough to threaten him. Even if he became the king, he still could not avoid it.
Although he has fallen into a disadvantage in terms of the popular base, the second prince is still slightly better than Arthur in the parliament and has more people supporting him, but that is only for now.
"There are many congressmen who truly believe in fate. If they know the news about the sword in the stone, they may turn around and support the fourth prince. I have ordered that the news about the fourth prince pulling out the holy sword be blocked."
Ma Wei's words made the second prince feel relieved. It was indeed reassuring to have a capable helper by his side.
"In addition, Your Majesty, you should win over the members more. I will do the same. It's not time to decide the winner yet."
"I see."
A lot of news always spread like wildfire. Even if the major newspapers did not publish it, the news that Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone still spread as quickly as possible. Within two days, it was spread throughout London.
People began to talk about Arthur who had pulled out the sword from the stone. Many people believed that Arthur was the legendary king, especially the workers who had been favored by the Labor Party. In an instant, a wave of public opinion was set off in London.
"here we go."
At No. 9 Downing Street, Mavey stood in front of the window, with a document about public opinion polls on the desk behind him. He had already heard about what people were talking about recently.
In the hearts of the people of London, Arthur had proven himself with his actual actions, and the people all agreed with him in making him king.
"Is this all your plan?"
God Geunia looked through the public opinion documents on the table and asked without raising her head: "Let Archbishop Fowler take the blame, promote the fourth prince to the throne, and provoke internal conflicts... No one can guess that you are behind the scenes.
Black Hand."
"Yes, who would doubt the second prince's biggest supporter?"
Ma Wei smiled and said: "The second prince is the one who holds the throne with one hand. Anyone can covet his throne, but I can't. I am the most innocent. This is exactly what I want them to see."
On the surface, the second prince and the fourth prince were facing each other tit for tat, and the councilors chose to take sides. Secretly, Ma Wei was monitoring whoever made small moves. After all...
No matter who they defect to, the congressmen cannot avoid Ma Wei.
When he ran to the camp of the second prince, Ma Wei knew about it, and when he ran to join the fourth prince, Ma Wei also knew about it.
Ma Wei knew exactly what little tricks the second and fourth princes were doing.
At this point, his hard work has paid off in a substantial way.
This is a siege against the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. Ma Wei has captured the bridgehead. Moving forward, it is the Kingdom of the Three Goddesses of Destiny!
It's very close.
"Soon, those congressmen will make their own choices. The second prince will give them generous rewards, and those who are willing to obey their fate and lower their heads will join the fourth prince. When the camps are divided, it is time for us to take action."
After saying that, Ma Wei looked back at Geunia: "When do you plan to wake up?"
"Do you really want me to disappear?"
"You will not disappear, you will only become a new you."
"Compared with this matter, I think you should be more concerned about foreign aid." God Geunia said: "Without foreign aid, even if I complete the second awakening, I will not be able to defeat the goddess of fate. She has completed three awakenings. Even if she is affected by
Even if you are injured, your strength will be stronger than mine."
What Yunia said was right, Ma Wei also knew that he should consider foreign aid.
It is impossible to defeat the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny relying solely on the Aurora Society and Luo Jin. They also need someone who can influence the situation of the battle.
Asking God is the only way out.
I still have half a divine white candle in my hand, which can barely summon the gods to come, but I only have one chance.
Moreover, because there is only half of the White Candle left, it is impossible to summon a complete divine kingdom like Asgard, and can only summon incomplete divine kingdoms like Budge and Avalon.
In the spirit of shopping around, Ma Wei wanted to meet the golden gods before making a decision.
From a long time ago, he wanted to meet these religious gods who created the golden age and ushered in a brief period of prosperity for mankind.
