Chapter 484 The Holy See’s Envoy 2

“Dear Ambassador, I don’t agree with what you say!”

Seeing that the Holy See’s envoy was still going to negotiate, King Collins was very excited and he stood up Chest, eyes widened, and he stood up with anger.

Then he said with a loud voice: "We have waited with the greatest patience for the coastal countries to change their minds, but our patience and concessions have only resulted in humiliation again and again. Now is the last moment. , is also the moment when we retreat to the edge of the cliff. If we take another step back, we will inevitably fall under the cliff, and the glory of the Lord of Light will also fall from the glorious supreme sky to the bottomless abyss of darkness."

After hearing what King Collins said, the emissary of the Holy See, Leadbetter, almost lost control of his emotions and wanted to spit it out on the spot - screw your damn patience and concessions.

He really wanted to ask Segovia II.

You! And your Archbishop Elvis, can what you do be called patience and concession?

The main purpose of the witch hunting movement should be to keep people alert to witchcraft at all times, and should focus on education and warning - not endless burning of people.

What this kind of thing pays attention to is a degree, just enough is enough, why should it be expanded again and again.

A good corner bay, a former trade transfer station and a prosperous place known to everyone, has now been turned into a smoky mess by you. Both foreign and local merchants are in danger and remain silent.

Which coastal country does not rely on trade to make a living? Now that you have ruined other people's jobs, can they not fight with you?

Just expand the scope a little. Who told you to touch the nobles in power? Good guys, you even dare to arrest the wife and sister of the Grand Duke of Eaton. Don’t you know that even the Holy See has been carefully handling the relationship with the powerful nobles?

Your so-called patience and concessions are nothing more than issuing ultimatums again and again, which are clearly serious provocations in the eyes of others.

He often uses a bossy tone and a condescending attitude, which makes anyone uncomfortable.

In fact, the current Pope does not want to engage in any witch hunting movement at all. After thousands of years of continuous suppression, magic and witchcraft have long become rural legends. Occasionally sporadic reports, most of which Authenticity is also often questionable.

Of course, as the people who hold the most secrets in the Holy See, His Majesty the Pope and other senior officials are very clear about the fact that witchcraft does exist, and they also know that there is a lot of witchcraft hidden in the corners of the world. Manipulator.

However, as long as those witchcraft practitioners stay in the corner and wear masks all their lives, His Majesty the Pope will not bother to find them out and clean them out, and discuss them in detail. It seems that the total losses caused by rats and locusts to humans are greater than witchcraft, and humans cannot eradicate rats and locusts.

If any blind wizard dares to jump out and cause trouble, let the nearby Inquisition handle it quietly to control the scope of the situation.

The fewer people who know, the easier it will be for the church to handle it; the more people who know it, the more troublesome it will be for the church to handle it.

How good is it to maintain a tacit understanding like this?

But what does it mean to do it in a big way like Elvis, for fear that others won't know?

Originally, those practitioners of witchcraft fought alone, and it was easy to deal with lone wolves. Now under such high pressure, they are bound to form an organization and join forces to deal with the threat of the church. The wolf pack becomes It's very troublesome to deal with.

However, the Pope cannot openly oppose the actions of the Jiaowan Church, because the denial of witchcraft is one of the founding principles of the Holy See. He rashly ordered the Jiaowan Church to stop its spontaneous witch hunt, which caused widespread concern across the mainland. The church's ideological confusion may even shake the authority of the Holy See.

After Elvis launched the movement in Corner Bay, the Pope could only send several groups of people in succession to "instruct" the Corner Bay Church on how to distinguish the differences between wizards and ordinary people, and did everything possible to avoid affecting the Ordinary innocent people.

However, as if there is some behind-the-scenes push, the situation always escalates quickly again after calming down - of course, the local church headed by Elvis's religion that almost abandons all reason Fanaticism provides the breeding ground for situations to recur.

Now what worries the Holy See most has happened. The expansion of witch hunting has aroused resentment among the secular government and the people. People will doubt the motives of the church in doing so, thus shaking the dominance of the Church of the Lord of Light in the field of human thought.

Alas!

Lebetter sighed inwardly. Although he wanted to express his dissatisfaction, as an envoy of the Holy See, he still had to maintain the necessary restraint, and of course he could not make a fuss on such an occasion.

He said: "His Majesty Segovia II!"

However, before he could continue, he was interrupted by Elvis, who was sitting in the front seat.

"Okay! Stop arguing."

His beard trembled slightly, as if he was using great strength to restrain his emotions.

"I agree with Lord Leadbetter and let him make an effort for peace in the Horn Bay. But..."

His eyes became sinister, and his identity as archbishop Very inconsistent.

"This is really the last time. If the coastal countries cannot return to the glory of the Lord of Light immediately, then they can only wait for the wrath of the Lord of Light!"

After finishing his words The Archbishop left everyone behind and walked away.

Segovia II glanced at Leadbetter dissatisfied, stood up and left.

Leadbetter said goodbye to everyone, and left his seat to go to his residence.

All the important people in the meeting left, and the remaining people also left in twos and threes.

Cardinal Antony, who served as the papal envoy together with Leadbetter, stood up in a hurry and chased after Leadbetter.

Anthony caught up with Leadbetter and walked side by side with him.

Lowering his voice, he said: "Your Excellency Leadbetter, is it really necessary to go on this trip? I feel it will not help."

Lebetter also lowered his voice and replied: " To be honest, I don’t have high hopes for this trip, but I still want to go.”

Anthony asked in confusion.

"The most important thing is to show our attitude, draw a line between the Holy See and the Corner Bay Church, and let others know that we are us and they are them. Even if the Holy See is eventually dragged into the war by the Corner Bay Church, we must Reserve a channel for subsequent negotiations. "

"Negotiation? If the Holy See... we go out in person, can't we guarantee victory over those businessmen?"

Lebetter shook his head: "What if? I am a general. With the strength of the Holy See, I believe that I will definitely have the confidence to win. However, I am also a diplomat now and must be prepared for all possibilities, even the possibility of infinitely approaching zero. .”
