In the current Holy See, because the Pope is a new school, five of the twelve Cardinals are from the new school. Their new school has the upper hand, suppressing the Old Testament and the Ascetic Party. They look very glorious, but that is just a superficial phenomenon...

In reality, the future of the new school is facing a great crisis.

There are many reasons for such a crisis, the most important of which is that three of the five cardinals are the same generation as the Pope. In other words, when Roy is called by Father God and parted with the earthly world, the three adults are not too far away from that day.

At such an age, it is difficult to succeed to the Pope.

The only hope of the new school is Bill and another cardinal... In order to support them to take office, the Pope spent a lot of effort to place them in two more dioceses of Protestant believers to help them achieve "political achievements". Fortunately, the Cardinal, which will be held early next year, won the election meeting of the Pope's alternate.

But from the current reality... the prospect of Bill and the other two being elected is not very optimistic... at least they will not be the first candidate. (There are three Cardinals.)

At least compared with the person introduced by the Old Testament, Bill is like a star next to the sun, dull and dull, so that people won’t pay attention to it... This does not mean that Bill’s ability is so bad, but that person is really too dazzling!

When he was thirty-one years old, he was able to reach the position of Cardinal. Such achievements naturally made people look at it. Looking back on the years that the church has gone through, there are very few bishops who have experienced this... But this is just the least conspicuous of the many halos that Raul Antonio is.

Raul's greatest achievement to the church was actually the Holy Crusade that he proposed eight years ago when he was thirty-two years old, launching the Holy Crusade against the pagans!

Before the Eastern Expedition, although the Western Church of Father God had long regarded the "pseudo-Church of the East" and the "pseudo-Church of the West", it was only limited to confrontation in words. But Raul changed all this. Through the ascension ceremony of King Hindland eight years ago, he stood up and declared that the Emperor of the Heavenly Father was oppressed by the secular king and was forced to crown him.

This is a truth to some extent - whether the power of the divine is higher than the power of the king, or the power of the king is higher than the power of the gods, is one of the key reasons for the breaking of the East and West churches.

The Father Church in the East was more affected by the rights of the Eastern Kingdoms. At the most severe time, even the Emperor's choice would be interfered with by the king's land... This was known to everyone in the Western Church, but he was afraid of affecting the power of the Father Church on the Western continent. No one said it.

But Raul stood up and said, and said it was still very loud. "Everything we have obtained is the land given by God the Father... For this we should be grateful. Thank God the Father for everything he did for us... But the people in the East do not understand this. And even, they want to put their hands into the place they cannot touch... They want to interfere with the operation of the Holy See. They want to replace God the Father and become the highest place in this time..."

"They have fallen! They have forgotten everything God of the Father has done to them! They are like a group of foxes and wolves. They are ungrateful and righteous! They occupy everything God of the Father has given: fertile land, jewellery, gold, and precious spices... and are grateful without understanding! Those lands that God of the Father has given us, but now they have been occupied by the heretics who have forgotten the glory of God of the Father!"

Raul successfully confuses the Eastern kingdom as an existence with the Father's land. He successfully confuses their concepts. Then he uses gold and jewelry "should belong to us". The huge wealth tempts poor and devout believers...

Under the joint promotion of the Old Testament and other factions, the Pope was under pressure to recognize the legitimacy of those words and regarded them as the official speech of the Holy See. At that time, Roy was holding on to the side and looking at them. He wanted to see how the "fallow" would end in the end. No matter how he used the other faction's defeat to attack them.

But the Pope miscalculated... He underestimated the influence of the Old Testament faction and underestimated the impact of huge wealth on this poor society. When the Old Testament faction took out the "Scroll of Atonement" and said, "As long as you can reach the holy land and kiss the land there, God the Father will forgive all the sins you committed before!" and tempted. "The wealth of those pagans is originally our land. As long as you can 'retrieve', then it is your land."

Under the dual stimulation of spiritual and materiality, the people's beliefs suddenly became fanatical. They left their hometowns and brought their families to form a pilgrimage group toward the holy land, and walked all the way to the far east where the pioneer had passed away.

In addition to ordinary free people, kings and knights who were close to the Old Testament faction also responded to the call. They looked farther than ordinary people and knew deeply what kind of wealth and glory the land and spices there would bring to their country and family...

So in this way, the eastern expedition activities that turmoiled the entire continent began.

At this time, the Eastern Expedition was not over yet... but the effect was gradually emerging. The West was better. In the East, countless people clearly regarded Raul as the successor of the Pope.

Especially this summer, after Raul's close friend, Viscount Gonzalez, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Land, successfully captured the holy land, this voice became even more and more popular.

If the Pope had not been for life, Roy was very doubtful, could he continue to do so...

It is precisely because of this that after hearing the news about the "Son", he assigned Bill without thinking... Just as the Old Testament faction possessed Raul, he was eager to create a "star" for the New faction.

At least in terms of inspiration, he hopes to use the existence of this "Son" to blur the influence of Raul on the world.

The subsequent news about the Holy Trace and the Holy Angel also gave the Pope more hope. But after listening to Bill's narration, he became scared again:

Compared to Raul, it seems that the Son he brought in with himself would have a greater impact on his church... This is something Roy never thought of before... It was hazy, and he had himself seemed to be "Dora", the illusion of the sinner who opened the demon box with his own hands and released the demons on the world...

Maybe, I really made the wrong choice...

Pope Roy thought this way and sighed softly.

But now they, the new faction he represented, had no way out to retreat. He could only cheer up and ask Bishop Bill in front of him, "What are you talking about?"
