Chapter 682: concession

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled a gorgeous sunset glow in the western sky.

Ke Lin stood on the top of the holy mountain, and the rays of the sun seemed to cover him with a layer of sacred halo.

Where he is, it seems to be the center of the world. He is clearly climbing up the stairs, but the Holy Light Cathedral towering on the top of the holy mountain seems to be actively approaching him.

The Templars standing guard in front of the church looked at Colin with irresistible awe.

It wasn't until Colin walked into the gate of the church that the vision of space-time disorder disintegrated in an instant.

"Mensai, you lied to me!" Colin said coldly, the loud voice seemed to come from the nine heavens.

Cardinal Mensay stood behind a group of Templar knights, holding the golden horn tightly in his hand, with a smile on his face, he replied respectfully:

"Count Angelet, you misunderstood me. I just helped you achieve your goal ahead of time."

Colin smiled coldly and said:

"Help me? You're just helping yourself!"

The moment Prince Harrison killed Pope Gregory in Dongquan Town, Colin realized that he had been tricked by Mensay.

Although this ambitious cardinal also wanted to get rid of Gregory, he was also wary of Colin.

Of course, Ke Lin did have the idea of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

In the original Grace Day plan, after subduing Gregory, Colin did not intend to return the golden horn to the church.

He even planned to reduce the number of Templars and suppress the power of the church.

In his conception, even if Mensay could successfully inherit the Pope, he would be just a puppet powerless against the nobility. From then on, the church would completely become a tool of faith to assist the nobility to rule the empire.

But Mensay is clearly aware of this too.

Moreover, he is not willing to be just a puppet, a tool.

That's why he acted first, taking advantage of the information gap and time gap, and caught everyone by surprise.

Although Colin was angry, he had to admit that he really underestimated the cardinal.

"Count Angelet, I have no intention of being your enemy." Cardinal Mensay felt the terrifying aura of Colin, and put the golden horn in his hand to his mouth, as if it was about to be blown in the next second, " And, trust me, you can't afford to drive the Church to the brink!"

"Really?" Colin smiled coldly, "That is the golden horn? Can it really summon angels?"

"You don't want to know." Cardinal Mensay said coldly.

"No, I really want to know." Colin's face was full of jokes, "Not only me, but all the devout believers in the Glorious Empire want to know whether the omniscient and omnipresent Supreme Lord will respond to His call in the world. The call of the spokesperson."

After saying this, Colin took a step forward.

Boom!

The entire Holy Light Cathedral trembled.

The Templars surrounding Mensay drew out their long swords at their waists and pointed their swords at Colin.

But Colin turned a blind eye to this and walked again.

Boom!

This step seemed to step on the hearts of everyone in the church.

Boom!

Colin took another step forward.

The Templars all took a step back.

Boom!

Colin moved forward again.

Mensay's hand holding the golden horn began to tremble, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead like a waterfall.

But even so, he did not sound the golden horn.

Boom!

Seeing that Ke Lin went further, Mensay finally couldn't bear such mental coercion, and said softly:

"Count Angelet! What conditions do you have, you can put forward..."

Hearing these words, Colin finally stopped moving forward with a smug smile on his face.

He knew he was right.

Either the Golden Horn was a scam, or, the cost of using it was too high, so much that Mensay would rather bow to Colin than use it lightly.

That being the case, Colin has a bottom line in his heart.

"Where is Prince Harrison?"

"His Royal Highness is resting in the side hall, as long as you are willing to cooperate, you can naturally take him away."

"Where is the body of Marquis Garcia?"

"It's already buried."

"Okay." Seeing Mensay's cooperation, Colin's face softened a little, "I want you to publicly declare Gregory a blasphemer, and expose all his past scandals."

Mensay hesitated for a moment, and persuaded:

"Count Angelet, even if I declare Gregory a blasphemer, Prince Harrison will not be forgiven. After all, even the emperor of the empire has no right to judge or even kill the spokesperson of the Supreme Lord..."

"You don't have to worry about this. You just have to announce it as I said."

Looking at Colin's indifferent eyes, Mensay finally nodded with difficulty and said:

"good."

"And the heir to the throne..."

"On this point, I unconditionally support your opinion!" Mensay said decisively, with a surprisingly good attitude, and even reminded intimately, "However, Earl Angelet, the situation in Yulong City is complicated now, who will take care of you?" To succeed the throne, I'm afraid it may not be as you wish... "

"You don't have to worry about that." Colin said confidently.

At the same time, he stopped moving forward, and the aura around him also restrained.

In this temptation, he has fully seen the weakness of the church and also figured out Mensay's character.

This person may seem vicious and difficult, but in fact he is weak in heart and does not have the courage to fight to the death.

That being the case, as long as he is not forced to a dead end, he is a person who is easier to control than Gregory.

In fact, Ke Lin had no idea whether the golden horn could summon angels, so seeing Mensay subdued, he stopped persecuting him.

In order to stabilize the situation in the Glorious Empire, he still needs to teach this ally.

But when he is free, he will still deal with the church again, and make Mensay pay for his previous deception!

Mensay didn't know what was going on in Ke Lin's mind at this time, and he was greatly relieved when he felt the mountain-like aura on his body gradually dissipate.

Just as Colin needed his help, so he needed Colin's support at this time.

After all, he is only the pope's first successor now, and has not really become the pope yet.

Whether the golden horn can summon angels, Mensay actually has no idea, but he knows that the most terrifying deterrence is always when the weapon is not unsheathed. Once the golden horn is used, the church's trump card will be lifted. If the enemy cannot be overwhelmed—

That would be a catastrophe for the church.

What's more, he also knows that the backlash he needs to bear when using the golden horn is very likely to kill him...

Therefore, at this moment, he only wanted to appease Colin and reach an alliance with him.

"Count Angelet, please wait a moment. I will send someone to bring over Prince Harrison and the body of the Marquis Garcia. I will also arrange for someone to send it down the mountain."

"And Gregory's body."

Mensay frowned and said hesitantly, "Count Angelet, as the Pope, Gregory will be buried in the Holy Sepulcher after his death..."

"Is he worthy?" Colin stared and asked disdainfully.

Mensay and Colin looked at each other for a moment, and finally nodded and said:

"Okay, as you wish."
