Following the fall of the Thirteenth Parish, the Twelfth and Eleventh Parishes also fell to the torrent of goblins one after another. Only the Tenth Parish survived with the intervention of the Elf Mission.
At this time, Emperor Elidom of the Holy Empire finally began to pay attention to this war.
At his call, the bishops from the first to the ninth dioceses, as well as the Black Saint, came to the cathedral of the archdiocese to review the response to this incident.
[Goblins are so rampant under our noses. Your Majesty, if you continue to endure it, the majesty of the Holy Empire will be completely gone!]
When the bishop of the first diocese struck the table in anger, it caused the sky of the entire diocese to shake. The sacred golden thunder roared and spread like a lion's roar in all directions.
At the age of 100, he is the most powerful sacred magician in this country, and his strength is infinitely close to that of the Enlightener of All Things.
In his twilight years, what he desires most is to understand the realm of the Initiator of All Things, or to have a life-and-death battle with the Initiator of All Things.
As the main militant in the Holy See, he has been very dissatisfied with Elidom's succession from the beginning. He was previously threatened by the Initiator of All Things, but now he finally vented his anger.
Historically, the Enlightener of All Things in the Underground City did not always intervene in the power disputes of the Holy Empire. Therefore, he deliberately cultivated candidates for the next pope, but in the end he made a wedding dress for Elidom.
Alemende chose to intervene at this time, which made him suspect that he was limiting the development of his power.
He actually doesn't care about the Goblin attack. He just wants to use the topic to further suppress Elidom's living space.
[Starting from the Ninth Parish, the military power of the empire is getting stronger and stronger, and it is purely wishful thinking for the Goblins to easily shake it.
Don’t forget that the 10th and subsequent parishes are themselves natural barriers. They were originally built to defend against Eastern countries, but now they are functioning as a buffer zone against the Goblins.
I think there must be a reason for this incident and cannot be defined without authorization.
Your Majesty Elidom, as the agent of Lord Alemend, you should know it, right? No, you must know it, otherwise the meaning of your sitting in that position will be lost!]
The bishop of the second diocese has been under the care of the underground city many times in history. No matter how the positions of the emperor and the first bishop changed, his family firmly controlled all the affairs of the second diocese. It can be said to be the most deeply rooted family in the empire. The knight Asoron Dannu Agatram, known as the Arm of Light, comes from this family.
The strategy adopted by the Agtram family is permanent neutrality, but when it comes to matters in the underground city, they are the most loyal supporters of the underground city. Elidom's accession to the throne depends entirely on their support.
However, their loyalty to the dungeon does not mean that they will be loyal to Elidom. After all, Alemande behind Elidom is only a member of the dungeon and cannot represent the will of the entire dungeon.
[...I have tried to get in touch with Lord Alemende, but he has not made any reply regarding this war.]
Elidom's face was slightly stiff, and neither the first bishop nor the second bishop took him seriously.
Most of the remaining bishops are attached to the second bishop, and a few are supporters of the first bishop. The entire Holy See is divided into two major factions, the underground city faction and the liberal faction.
The Dungeon Faction advocates maintaining the identity of the Dungeon Agent, managing the human world, and living in eternal peace.
Liberals advocate gaining human freedom, using human power to shake the dominance of the underground city, and open up an era for mankind.
However, as long as there is no great man born in the human world who is comparable to the Enlightener of All Things, the Dungeon Sect will always have the upper hand.
Therefore, Elidom was most afraid of the second bishop who was from the Agtram family, and he had to give a sincere reply to his question.
[His Majesty the Emperor and all the bishops, since there is no reply from the underground city, why not turn your attention to the human world?
The legend of the Elf Kingdom may guide us in the right direction.
In fact, in the Tenth Parish, the Elf King led the Elf Envoy to assist the White Saint and successfully resisted the Goblin attack.
According to my observation, the spells used by the Elf King and the Elf Envoys are all enlightenment techniques, and the only ones who master the enlightenment technique are Goblin initiates, or dungeon initiates.
This is worthy of scrutiny. The enlightener of the dungeon actually appeared among the people as an elf. At the same time, the contact with Lord Alemend was suddenly interrupted. I couldn't help but boldly guess that maybe the enlightener of all things in the dungeon appeared among the people.
out of contradictions and controversies.
This is a great opportunity for us humans.
Why not take the opportunity to get in touch with the Elf King?]
The Black Saint expressed her opinion at this moment.
[The little city lord Mihat from Butterfly is now bragging about the elves all over the world. With the war initiated by the goblins, the elf king suddenly appeared in front of the White Saint, guarding the tenth
Parish.
All this seems to be carefully planned.
Your Majesty the Pope, my nephew Asoron Danu Agatram is still active in Butterfly. Why not call him back and listen to his description?]
The second bishop asked for instructions.
[Okay, let’s recall Assolan.]
Elidom sighed, as if he was being led around.
Alemend just asked him to kill a two-image initiate, but did not give any more information. It seems that only when he completes this task can he get Alemend's approval.
But what worries him is that this two-image enlightener may be related to the legend of the Elf Kingdom. If so, it may be a power struggle within the dungeon, as the Black Saint said.
In this way, even if he killed the two-image enlightener, he would be killed. In other words, Alemende had no intention of paying attention to and cultivating him, but was just using him.

Damn it!
He only has one idea now, to turn back time and take back the soul scroll given to White Saint Zesilia. If that upright saint really kills her, his death will come soon!
Alemende can no longer be trusted. If he tells the bishops that he can no longer trust Alemende, then there will be a new emperor in this empire soon, right?

After the Holy See's review meeting ended, the Black Saint did not leave immediately.
After waiting for all the bishops to leave, she returned to the temple and came to Elidom.
"Want to laugh at me?"
Elidom sat slumped in the deliberation room motionless, staring at the Black Saint nervously like a frightened bird.
"Every emperor will have sincere ambitions before he ascends the throne and is always ready to make great achievements. However, after he sits on the throne of the emperor, he will be the first person to oppose his ambition.
You have come to a critical moment of life and death, and it can be said that you are frightened every step of the way. In this case, why not risk your life and live again?"
The Black Saint kneeled on the ground and said.
"Hmph, it's really unbelievable that you, a rabid dog raised by the Holy See, still retain your self and want to escape your fate?"
The corners of Elidom's mouth couldn't help but raise, and he picked up the wine glass. It seemed that he no longer had to screen for white saints. The black saint in front of him would become his first right-hand man.
At this moment, they can be called "like each other".
"The Elf King will be our hope, but right now we still need to fight with Alemon Dexu.
What you long for is the rights of an emperor, but what I long for is the destiny of mankind.
Even if it fails, it is just a sacrifice of two humble lives. What is the difference between humans living under the fence and livestock raised in captivity?
Elves long for freedom from ugliness, and humans long for freedom. If they can seal their own darkness, perhaps we will usher in a brand new world."
Black Saint said.
"It would be wonderful if this were the case, but all this is just your conjecture, isn't it?"
Elidom put down his glass of wine. It was no joke to betray Alamunde, but even if he was loyal to Alamunde, he could not escape the fate of abandoning his son.
"Do you remember the time when you were struggling in the stinking ditch of the Thirteenth Parish? Did you always consider the future in every decision you made at that time? When did Ai Shisan become a submissive and cowardly young man!" p>
The Black Saint inspires the generals.
"Hmph, you are so brave. You are so arrogant to show disrespect to me, the Pope.
In this case, I have to show the same courage as you, Black Saint, as you wish, just think that we have died tonight!"
Elidom laughed.
Pretending to cater to Alemende's orders, he then contributed to the legend of the Kingdom of Elves.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are seeking skin from a tiger. The elves themselves are the will of the dungeon. Maybe their scheme is in vain, but if they don’t have the courage to give it a try, he, the emperor, will lose even his last fig leaf! p>
"Let the White Saint be our gift to the Elf King. Moreover, that stupid Zeslia happens to have a good impression of the Elf King. Sometimes people really envy her experience. She is so lucky that it makes people jealous." The Black Saint turned around and walked outside the Holy See.
"Could it be that he is the enlightener of two images that Alemend is looking for?"
Elidom couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. This Black Saint is really unfathomable. She convinced him only after she got the specific information, right?
