With a muffled sound, Lin Zhiming had already shot towards Francis like a cannonball.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhiming had arrived in front of Francis, and then punched Francis directly.
A look of horror flashed across Francis's face, and he stepped back.
However, his speed could not compare with Lin Zhiming's. Lin Zhiming just took one more step, and his fist had already appeared in front of Francis.
As a last resort, Francis raised his hand to block it in front of him.
boom!
A muffled sound!
Francis' body retreated rapidly uncontrollably, and his feet kept moving on the ground.
Lin Zhiming did not pursue him, but stood there and looked at Francis.
After Francis took a dozen steps back, he finally stopped, then looked at Lin Zhiming gloomily and said, "Lin Zhiming, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Just to verify whether what I guessed is true." Lin Zhiming said.
"What does this prove?" Francis asked.
"If what I guessed before is to be established, there must be a necessary condition, that is, you must be confident enough to be able to save yourself even if I don't save you, and the basic condition for being able to save yourself is that you
He must be a strong enough master." Lin Zhiming said.
Francis' expression changed.
"And now...your performance has proven that you are a strong enough master, and ordinary people cannot stop my punch." Lin Zhiming said.
"Even this is not enough to prove that what you have guessed is true, Lin Zhiming, let me ask you one question, are you going to fall out with me just because of such a trivial matter that has nothing to do with you?" Francis said in a dark tone.
Face asked.
"Francis, you forgot a very important thing." Lin Zhiming said.
"What's the matter?" Francis asked.
"I... am a hero." Lin Zhiming had a ferocious look on his face.
Francis stiffened.
He really didn't expect that Lin Zhiming would give him such an answer.
If Lin Zhiming thinks he is a hero, then what does a hero do? Naturally, he draws his sword to help when the road is rough...
In other words, if you want to use benefits to make a hero like Lin Zhiming compromise, it is obviously impossible.
Just when Francis' nervous heartbeat accelerated, Lin Zhiming suddenly laughed.
"Did I scare you, His Majesty the Pope?" Lin Zhiming asked with a smile.
"What do you mean?" the Pope asked stutteringly.
"I was just kidding you. What a bullshit hero. It's just packaged to fool the public. I won't let such a small thing affect our relationship just because of my so-called hero status. I just said
I just wanted to get an answer, and now that I have the answer, this matter is over here." Lin Zhiming said.
Francis was a little stunned. He thought Lin Zhiming was going to do something to him, but he didn't expect Lin Zhiming to say this.
"Your Majesty the Pope, I will leave as soon as I have something else to do. I will take Daphne's body away so that it will not affect the dignity of the Temple of Light." Lin Zhiming said as he picked up Daphne's body.
"Are you...really leaving?" Francis asked.
"Otherwise, why stay here? I have no interest in the affairs of your Holy See, and I also need to use the identity of archbishop given to me by your Holy See to stabilize the situation of the Taishan Society, right? Okay, that's it, I'm leaving.
"Lin Zhiming waved to Francis, then turned and walked out of the Temple of Light.
Looking at Lin Zhiming's leaving figure, Francis's face was full of shock and confusion.
At this time, Lin Zhiming was completely incomprehensible to him.
He originally thought that Lin Zhiming would definitely break up with him after deducing those things, but to his surprise, Lin Zhiming just scared him and left here.
Was he really just kidding himself?
Or is he just joking to cover up his emotions?
Francis' face was gloomy. He always felt that he had seen through Lin Zhiming, but now he discovered that Lin Zhiming's face was always covered with a veil...
The other side.
Lin Zhiming carried Daphne's body to the back of the Papal Palace.
There is a holy tomb here, which is specially used to bury some high-ranking officials of the Holy See.
Lin Zhiming put Daphne's body down, and then asked the caretaker of the Holy Tomb for a shovel to dig it up.
After digging for a while, Harris and Titan hurriedly came from a distance.
When they ran closer and found Daphne's body, both of them were stunned.
"Palace Master, what on earth is going on?!" Harris asked in a trembling voice.
"Daphne is dead." Lin Zhiming said while digging.
"How did you die?" Harris asked.
"Killed by someone." Lin Zhiming said.
"who?"
"pope…"
…
Lin Zhiming and Harris dug a grave together.
Titan took a pure black coffin from the Temple of Judgment and placed Daphne in it. Then the three of them put the coffin into the tomb together and buried it.
"I don't know what your relationship is with Daphne, but what I can tell you is that I will definitely avenge Daphne. If you want to leak the secret, you can go to the Pope. This may help you get a better future." Lin
Zhiming stood in front of Daphne's grave and said expressionlessly.
"I have watched Daphne grow up, and she regards me as her big brother." Harris said with red eyes.
"Daphne once saved my life." Titan also said.
"In this case, I will give you a task. Help me keep an eye on the Pope's every move and help me find the Pope's descendant." Lin Zhiming said.
"Know!"
"clear!"
…
After leaving the Holy Tomb, Lin Zhiming did not leave the Papal Palace, but went to the Holy Golden Temple.
The Holy Gold Temple is magnificent and very peaceful.
As the financial organ of the Holy See, the purge of the Papal Palace at this time has little to do with the Holy Gold Temple. The priests in the Holy Gold Temple are still handling the matters at hand in an orderly manner.
Erdo was sitting in his office, holding a document in his hand and reading it.
At this moment, the sound of moving a chair came from across from Eldo.
Erdo was stunned for a moment, put down the document and looked forward.
At this sight, Erdo was dumbfounded and saw Lin Zhiming moving a chair towards him.
"Archbishop Lin Zhiming!" Erdo stood up in shock and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Come here to see you." Lin Zhiming smiled and put the chair away, then sat down, just face to face with Erdo.
"Then why didn't anyone inform my subordinates?" Erdo asked doubtfully.
"This is a sensitive point. If people know that I came to see you specifically, I'm afraid it will affect you." Lin Zhiming said.
"How could what you said affect me? We didn't do anything bad." Eldor shook his head repeatedly.
"That's true. We are the only four bishops of the Holy See who have not done anything bad. Unlike Gandalf and Pine, we actually set our sights on His Majesty the Pope. It is really audacious." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes! We should be in awe of His Majesty the Pope, after all, he is the incarnation of the God of Light!" Erdo nodded.
"But... why did they want to assassinate His Majesty the Pope? I still can't figure this out." Lin Zhiming said.
"I don't understand either." Erdo shook his head.
"If we just go by what they said, it would be a bit strange. After all, Gandalf is so old. If he really wanted to have the pope's addiction, he would have to have been at least ten or twenty years earlier, right?" Lin Zhiming said.
"Who knows." Erdo shrugged.
"But it's useless to speculate now. After all, the two of them have committed such a big crime, and they probably won't see the sun tomorrow." Lin Zhiming sighed.
"Isn't Pine okay?" Eldor asked.
"Pine has been secretly executed." Lin Zhiming said.
"What?!" Erdo showed a shocked expression.
"Just after he was taken away from the Temple of Light, he was immediately executed." Lin Zhiming said.
"This...how could this happen? Where did you get the news?" Erdo asked doubtfully.
"His Majesty the Pope told me personally." Lin Zhiming said.
"So that's it... ugh..." Eldor sighed.
"But what's amazing is that right after Pine died, the priest under Pine actually found me and asked me to save Pine's daughter Daphne." Lin Zhiming said.
"Huh? What's going on?" Erdo asked doubtfully.
"I don't know either. One of Pine's men who came from nowhere told me that Daphne's life was in danger and asked me to save Daphne." Lin Zhiming said.
"What's the result?" Erdo asked.
"In the end, I went to save people, but it was a step too late, and Daphne still died." Lin Zhiming said.
"Still...dead?" A trace of sadness flashed across Eldor's face.
"Yes, he is dead. He was killed by His Majesty the Pope." Lin Zhiming said.
"Perhaps...His Majesty the Pope has his own ideas. After all, Daphne is the daughter of Pine and a Templar warrior herself..." Eldo said.
"Are you sad?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I? It's not that I'm sad. After all, Daphne and I have nothing to do with each other. I just feel a little pity. After all, Daphne is the top combat power of our Holy See. Now that she is dead, one of the top combat power is missing. But fortunately, you are here.
Your presence is enough to bring the top combat power of our Holy See to a peak!" Erdo said with a smile.
Lin Zhiming looked at Erdo, and after a moment of silence, he said, "At first, I always thought you were the one with the most thoughts among the three bishops."
"Oh?" Erdo was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Zhiming doubtfully.
"Now it seems that you are not only thoughtful, but also far more meticulous than others." Lin Zhiming said.
"What do you mean by this?" Erdo asked doubtfully.
"It's not interesting." Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Do me a favor."
"What's the business?" Eldo asked.
"Gandalf has a holy son named Alan. Keep him by your side and take good care of him." Lin Zhiming said.
"Why?" Erdo asked doubtfully.
"I really like that little fat guy, I just like him. If you help me, I owe you a favor." Lin Zhiming said.
"Then...okay." Erdo nodded.
"Well, it's almost time, I have to leave too!" Lin Zhiming stood up and said.
"Okay, I'll see you off." Eldo stood up and said.
"No need." Lin Zhiming shook his head and walked towards the door.
When Lin Zhiming was about to walk out of the office, he stopped, turned to look at Erdo and said, "Wait until I come back."
Erdo's body trembled slightly, then he nodded seriously, "Okay!"
