Lin Zhiming sent Erdo away, and he suddenly felt a little more wary about his upcoming appointment as Archbishop.
He didn't think too much at first. He just thought that he came to the Pope for help and wanted the Pope to serve as the honorary president of the Taishan Society. The Pope also had the idea of tying him to the ship of the Holy See of Light and deliberately proposed that he be the honorary president of the Taishan Society.
Archbishop, then he will naturally take on the identity of archbishop and become a member of the Holy See of Light, and then use this identity to do some things. Only he and the Pope are involved in this whole thing.
But now, as Eldo came to the door and said those words to him, he found that this matter seemed to be more complicated than he thought.
The simplest fact is that becoming an archbishop will inevitably break the original three-legged situation under the Holy See and the Pope.
Lin Zhiming didn't know how the power within the Holy See was divided, but he was certain that even if he was just an idle archbishop, he would definitely affect the three previous bishops.
Will I touch other people's cakes by then?
If they come into contact, one, or even two or three of these three archbishops may become their enemies.
Lin Zhiming frowned. What seemed to him to be a very simple matter originally became more complicated with the appearance of Eldo, especially what Eldo said before leaving.
He actually didn't care who Eldo asked him to pay attention to. What he cared more about was that Eldo's seemingly warning words were most likely a deliberate attempt to sow discord with his other two archbishops.
He was the first to come into contact with him. Once he instilled some ideas into him and had some preconceived prejudice against the other two archbishops, it would most likely affect his interactions with the other two archbishops later.
"The fat man looks like a harmless person, but he is actually full of evil!" Lin Zhiming still labeled Eldo in his heart. This fat man was far more sinister than his appearance seemed.
Just as Lin Zhiming was thinking, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in." Lin Zhiming shouted.
The door opened little by little, and a middle-aged man was standing there at the door.
This middle-aged man looks to be in his fifties, with a very strong body. It seems that he does a lot of exercise on weekdays. Even though the priest's robe is relatively loose, you can still vaguely see the lines of his muscles.
"Hello, Mr. Lin." The middle-aged man nodded to Lin Zhiming with a serious face.
"Hello, Archbishop Pine." Lin Zhiming smiled and greeted the other party. Just like he recognized Erdo before, he also recognized Archbishop Pine in front of him, who is also one of the three bishops of the Holy See of Light.
The person in charge of the discipline of the Holy See of Light seems to be a very serious person.
"I heard that someone in the Papal Palace lived in His Majesty the Pope's bedroom. I was thinking who would be so bold as to place an outsider here. Later I found out that it was you, but if I were you, I would definitely not live here.
." Pine said expressionlessly.
"Why?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"His Majesty the Pope loves the world and is willing to give you his bedroom, but the world must also have its own consciousness. How can His Majesty the Pope's bedroom be defiled by mortals?" Pine said.
"Mr. Pine seems to have a lot of objections to my staying in His Majesty the Pope's bedroom." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Indeed, if you can listen, you can ask Les to come over now and ask him to move you to a place to live," Pine said.
"You want me to move out so anxiously, are you jealous of me?" Lin Zhiming asked with a half-smile.
"Am I jealous of you? It's ridiculous. As the Archbishop of the Holy See of Light, I would be jealous of a person like you?" Pine said with a sarcastic expression.
"Sorry, in two days I will also be the Archbishop of the Holy See of Light. And I am not only the Archbishop of the Holy See of Light, I am also a global hero. I am also the president of the Taishan Society. I am also the strongest person in the world. With so many identities added to the
Together, I'm afraid even you can only look up to me, right?" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to prevent you from becoming the archbishop. People like you who join the Holy See of Light for profit are destined to be spurned by the God of Light." Pine said.
"Then you have to hurry up, you only have two days." Lin Zhiming said.
"Two days is enough. If I were you, I would leave the Holy City within these two days, so that I can at least avoid humiliation." Pine said.
"Then I'll wait and see." Lin Zhiming said.
"Hmph..." Pine snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Looking at Pine's leaving figure, Lin Zhiming smiled and said to himself, "It seems that not all what this fat guy said is false. This guy is really difficult to get along with."
As he spoke, Lin Zhiming walked to the bed and lay down.
The bed was very big and soft, and Lin Zhiming's body sank into it immediately.
"It's so comfortable." Lin Zhiming closed his eyes happily.
More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Until Les came to ask Lin Zhiming to go to dinner, Lin Zhiming did not wait for the third archbishop.
This made Lin Zhiming a little surprised. He thought that all the archbishops would come to meet him. Whether they came to make friends or make enemies, they had to show some expression. However, the third archbishop showed no sign at all.
Lin Zhiming came to the restaurant under the leadership of Rice.
Although it is said to be a restaurant, it is actually much larger than an ordinary restaurant. This restaurant is located in a single-family building, with a long table placed in the middle of the restaurant.
"His Majesty the Pope is hosting a banquet for you tonight, so everyone comes here to eat. In the past, His Majesty the Pope ate alone, and no one is qualified to sit at the same table with His Majesty the Pope." Rice said as he walked.
"That's so boring." Lin Zhiming said.
Les smiled and said, "Gods are destined to be different from mortals."
Under the leadership of Rice, Lin Zhiming walked to the front of the long table.
There is only one chair placed at the front of the long table. It is a white gilt chair, which looks very high-end.
Needless to say, everyone knows that that should be Francis' position.
There are a row of chairs on both sides of Francis' seat. There are six chairs in a row, a total of twelve chairs, representing the top leaders of the Holy See of Light.
At this time, there was no one sitting on the chair, and many people wearing divine robes were standing on both sides of the table chatting.
Seeing Lin Zhiming's arrival, some of these people looked wary, while others walked up to Lin Zhiming affectionately and said hello to Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming briefly chatted with everyone, and then Erdo came to his side.
"Have you met Pine?" Eldor asked.
"I see." Lin Zhiming nodded.
"Let me tell you, that guy is very difficult to get along with and difficult to deal with. He is the most hated person in our Holy See." Erdo said.
"What about you? Are you the most popular?" Lin Zhiming asked with a smile.
"This is natural, I get along well with everyone!" Erdo said with a smile.
Looking at the fat man in front of him who didn't even have the airs of an archbishop, Lin Zhiming couldn't understand how this guy got the position of archbishop.
"By the way, why didn't I see Archbishop Gandalf this afternoon?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
Archbishop Gandalf was one of the three archbishops, and Lin Zhiming had read some of his information when he came here.
"Gandalf is devoted to theology and rarely leaves the theology hall. Moreover, he is old, so it is normal for him not to show up." Eldor said.
"How old is he?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously. You must know that Gandalf's age was not included in the information he collected, so he was curious about how old Gandalf was.
"We don't know this very well. It seems that Gandalf was already in the Holy See of Light when the last Pope was still here. I guess he must be over a hundred years old anyway." Eldor said.
"Over a hundred years old!?" Lin Zhiming said in surprise, "How can you still be an archbishop?"
"Although Archbishop Gandalf is very old, he is still in good health. You can see him later. If you are really interested in him, you can have a chat with him. But I advise you not to do this. Gandalf likes to be with people.
When talking about theology, he always likes to test others with the contents of the Bible. Once you fail to answer, he will make you stand down. If you don't want to make yourself uncomfortable, you must not chat with him." Erdo is serious.
said.
"I actually like theology quite a lot. I've read some of the Bible you sent me this afternoon." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Okay, then I wish you a pleasant chat with Archbishop Gandalf." Eldor said with a shrug.
While the two were talking, several more people walked into the restaurant. The leader of these people was Pine. Behind him were several people. What surprised Lin Zhiming was that these people were all wearing black.
of divine robes.
As soon as Pine appeared, everyone present showed respectful expressions on their faces and bowed to say hello to Pine.
However, Pine didn't seem to give these people any face, and walked straight past them without even giving a basic response.
"Has Pine always acted like a dead wife in the Holy See?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
"How did you know that Archbishop Pine's wife was dead?!" Eldor asked in surprise.
"Uh... I just said that casually." Lin Zhiming said awkwardly.
"Archbishop Pine is in charge of canons and laws, so he always has such a face on weekdays, and is very rude to believers. However, he controls the most powerful armed force of our Holy See, so everyone can only dare to be angry.
I dare to speak." Erdo sighed.
"The Holy See's most powerful armed force? What is that?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
