The first thousand three hundred and forty-nine chapters succeeded
Sirens rang across the sky over the holy city.
Because the Pope was assassinated, the Holy City has entered a state of emergency. All believers have returned to their residences, and hundreds of Templars have flooded the streets looking for any suspicious persons.
All the power of the Holy See has been mobilized at this moment. I am afraid that even a mouse will not be able to leave the Holy City easily at this moment.
In the Papal Palace, all the senior priests of the Holy See gathered in the Temple of Light.
This is the largest palace in the Holy See, and only very important sacrificial activities are carried out on weekdays.
The faces of every senior priest were filled with tension and panic.
The Pope was assassinated in the Oracle Square. This was something that had never happened to the Holy See of Light since its establishment. If Lin Zhiming had not been there, the Pope might have been shot to death in front of thousands of believers.
That is definitely an unbearable burden for both the Pope and the Holy See.
The Pope sat at the top, sitting on the huge throne of light.
Archbishop Payne knelt on one knee in front of the Pope, while the other two archbishops Eldor and Gandalf stood on both sides.
Everyone who looked at Pine had a little pity in their eyes.
You must know that Payne is the controller of the Holy See's armed forces. He is not only responsible for enforcing canon law and maintaining the Holy See, but also protects the safety of the Pope. This time the Pope was assassinated, and Payne must be responsible for this incident.
"Your Majesty the Pope, we found a chirping gun 530 meters away from the Oracle Square. There was no attacker next to the chirping gun. Through on-site investigation, it was determined that the attacker used a remote control device to control the chirping gun. The chirping gun was controlled by a remote control device.
This chirp gun has an infrared positioning function. It will automatically adjust the aiming center according to the infrared indication, and has very terrible positioning and lethality!" Les said seriously while standing next to Pine.
"Five hundred and thirty meters..." Francis looked at Pine and said, "What do you want to say?"
"His Majesty the Pope, you allowed the attacker to sneak in so close to you, and finally let him carry out the assassination. Although you were not injured in the end, I still bear the blame, and I also ask His Majesty the Pope to punish you." Pine bowed his head.
said.
"I let you single-handedly control the most powerful armed force in the entire Holy See, but you... allowed the heretics to almost kill me. You made me very disappointed. You sent me an oracle to remove Archbishop Pine from his post immediately and hand him over to
The court is conducting a trial..." Francis said expressionlessly.
After hearing what Francis said, many people's expressions changed drastically.
At first, everyone thought that the pope would at best suspend Payne from his duties. After all, Payne was an archbishop, and the Pope was not injured this time. However, they did not expect that the Pope would directly dismiss Payne from his position as archbishop. This punishment was indeed a bit harsh.
Too harsh.
But when I thought about it, if it weren't for Lin Zhiming, the Pope would have gone to see the God of Light, and Payne was the main person responsible for the attack. No matter how harshly he was dealt with, it seemed to be justified.
Therefore, everyone kept their mouths shut at this time. No one dared to intercede for Pine, not even those from the Pine faction.
Following the Pope's order, several people wearing blue robes walked into the hall, grabbed Pine who was kneeling on the ground, and then took him away from the hall.
From beginning to end, Pine never asked the Pope for mercy.
"What is the trial court?" Lin Zhiming asked Erdo next to him in a low voice.
"The trial court is responsible for conviction... Once you enter the trial court, there is almost no possibility of turning over." Erdo said with a serious face.
"So miserable?!" Lin Zhiming was a little shocked, and then looked at Pope Francis.
There was anger on Francis's face, which was different from the calm and calm expression outside.
It seemed that this assassination still made him very angry.
But just thinking about it, being assassinated at such a close range on one's own territory would make any ruler angry.
However, there is also a problem facing Francis, that is, the murderer has not been caught yet, but the person responsible for catching the murderer has been captured.
Now that the Judgment Temple is leaderless, how can we arrest people?
It’s a bit impulsive!
Lin Zhiming looked at Francis and muttered to himself, and just after he muttered like this, his eyes suddenly widened, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyeballs, and then he immediately hid this brilliance and did not let it go.
Anyone notices anything unusual.
On the throne, Pope Francis looked around at the crowd and said, "Due to serious dereliction of duty, Payne has now been dismissed from his position as archbishop. The Judgment Temple also lacks an owner. Everyone should have seen Zhi Ming's performance in the Oracle Square just now. He is absolutely
He is the most devout believer of the God of Light. I think Zhiming is fully qualified for the position of Saint Archbishop and has the ability to become the new master of the Judgment Temple. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty the Pope, you will always be the master of the Judgment Temple." Lin Zhiming said seriously.
After hearing this, everyone felt contempt for Lin Zhiming.
The Holy See belongs to the Pope, so the Shrine of Judgment naturally also belongs to the Pope. When the Pope says he is the owner of the Shrine of Judgment, he is just saying that what he says about the Shrine of Judgment is personal. Why do you need to remind me?
It's really amazing that the strongest person in the world can even flatter someone.
Thinking so, the heads of everyone present were still shaking. These people not only nodded, but also agreed, "I think His Majesty the Pope is very right." "Mr. Lin's performance in the Oracle Square just now was really shocking.
I, his understanding of the Bible has surpassed that of most people." "Your Majesty the Pope, your decision is wise..."
At this time, no one dared to raise objections to the Pope's decision, because everyone knew that the Pope was angry now, and Lin Zhiming saved the Pope's life. It happened that the Pope wanted Lin Zhiming to be the archbishop, and it happened that the Temple of Judgment was lacking again.
Personally, it is natural for Lin Zhiming to be the boss of the Judgment Temple.
"Lin Zhiming, do you have any objections?" Francis looked at Lin Zhiming with a smile and asked.
"Of course I have no objection. His Majesty the Pope trusts me and is willing to give me a chance. I will be close to everything and serve the Holy See! I also swear that I will definitely find the murderer!" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"Since everyone has no objections, Les, take my divine decree," the Pope said.
Les bowed and retreated, then came back with a golden scroll.
Rice spread the scroll in front of the pope, and then the pope picked up a classical quill and wrote the letter of appointment on it.
After a while, the appointment letter was completed.
Rice picked up the letter of appointment and read to Langsheng, "The God of Light is above, His Majesty the Pope has made an oracle, and believer Lin Zhiming is very loyal to me, the Holy See of Light, and has unique insights into the Bible. God said that the light of God should shine on all the gods.
I hereby issue an edict that Lin Zhiming will take up the post of Archbishop of the Holy See of Light from now on and take charge of the Judgment Temple..."
As Rice read out the contents of the appointment letter, Lin Zhiming became the Archbishop of the Holy See of Light and the boss of the Judgment Temple.
Lin Zhiming was originally very happy about such an appointment, but now he is a little unhappy because he feels that he has probably been taken advantage of by the Pope.
At first, Lin Zhiming believed that his appointment as archbishop was a deal between himself and the Pope. It was a win-win situation for both of them. But now, he feels that the Pope has won much more than him. He has not only gained the strongest general like himself.
, seems to have dealt with the uneasy factors within the Holy See...
Lin Zhiming doesn't mind being used, but he likes to use each other. He doesn't like it when the Pope uses him unilaterally. He feels that his IQ has been underestimated.
The surrounding priests looked at Lin Zhiming with strange expressions.
Before today, they all thought that Lin Zhiming would fail in the Bible debate. Unexpectedly, now Lin Zhiming not only became the archbishop, but also took down the Temple of Judgment in Pine. Lin Zhiming was really lucky.
Already.
If the assassination hadn't happened, Lin Zhiming would most likely have been an idle archbishop with no real power. But as soon as the assassination happened, the Pope owed Lin Zhiming a favor and wanted to punish Paine. Lin Zhiming was so mysterious.
Became the boss of the Judgment Temple...
"Zhiming, I hope you can spread the brilliance of the God of Light in the world more in the future." Francis said to Lin Zhiming in a sincere voice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Pope, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Lin Zhiming said.
"Well...that's all for today. I'm a little tired. Please step back." Francis said.
"Yes!" Everyone bowed and retreated.
After leaving the temple, a group of senior priests immediately surrounded Lin Zhiming, shouting Archbishop Lin Zhiming with great enthusiasm.
However, Lin Zhiming had no intention of getting involved with these people at the moment. He said to everyone, "Now that the assassin is still at large, His Majesty the Pope has appointed him as the administrator of the Judgment Temple. Naturally, I will do my best to catch the assassin. I will
I won’t talk to you anymore, I’ll go to the Judgment Temple first.”
After saying that, Lin Zhiming pushed aside everyone and walked towards the Judgment Temple.
Not long after walking, there were rapid footsteps behind Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming turned around and saw that it was Erdo.
Eldo was obviously chasing Lin Zhiming, and he was panting while running.
"You, please wait for me." Erdo said.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiming asked doubtfully.
"The road to the Temple of Judgment is difficult. Let me take you there to prevent you from getting lost." Eldor said.
Hearing this, Lin Zhiming knew that Erdo had something to say to him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, lead the way."
"Okay!" Erdo nodded and followed Lin Zhiming towards the Judgment Temple.
After walking a few steps, Erdo suddenly said, "Zhi Ming, as a friend, I feel it is necessary for me to remind you of something..."
