When I asked this question, Zhuo Yi also looked over at me.
Probably because I said this, she also felt that something was wrong, so she wanted to hear the answer and see how Sophia answered.
Not sure if she was thinking, Sophia pondered for a while.
After a while, she didn't answer me directly, but asked again: "When Veronica died, were there any other priests around her?"
I held the phone and shook my head: "She is not around, but there are many corpses of priests lying outside. Before the fight with Veronica, all the remaining priests were killed by some murderer."
"Then I understand the reason."
Sophia sighed softly: "Do you still remember what I told you before about the weakness of the saint?
Unlike priests and bishops, they infuse their bodies with divine power all year round, retaining divine power in their bodies, and their bodies are nourished by divine power and become very strong and strong.
But saints are different. Before they borrowed divine power, saints were just ordinary people, and the ritual of borrowing divine power is too lengthy. If there are no priests around to protect us during the ceremony, the enemy will not give us time."
When Sofia said this, I understood.
I also sighed: "Okay, I made things too complicated. I guess Veronica didn't even complete the ritual, and before she could use the full power of the angel, the other party had already given her heart away.
Take it out."
"If nothing else, it's like this."
"Then you have to be careful."
I borrowed Poxia's donkey and told Sophia: "Your body is so fragile and you don't have me to protect you, but you must be careful not to be plotted by some bastard behind your back."
In one sentence, Zhuo Yi curled his lips, turned his head away with a 'hum' sound.
Daniel didn't understand, but looking at Zhuo Yi's expression, he understood what was going on. He smiled knowingly and turned his head towards the window.
Sophia's reaction was relatively normal.
She was kept silent for a few seconds by my sudden concern, as if she was hesitating how to respond, but in the end she only said a few words: "Don't worry, I will do it."
I then told her: "The purpose of making this call is to tell you about Veronica's death, so that you can be mentally prepared and think of a plan in advance.
However, I hope you will keep the news of her death quiet for the time being, or at least wait until we have finished our work before informing the Holy See and the Ecumenical Council to avoid causing any further complications."
"knew."
Her tone of voice was quite calm, but I don't know what she was thinking right now.
"Okay, then it'll be fine."
Nothing happened, but the car was still a few minutes away from Zhuo Yi's site, so I didn't hang up the phone and continued to ask her: "I heard it was a bit noisy over there just now. What are you doing, a meeting?"
"Well, there is an internal meeting within the family to discuss who should compete for the position left by grandpa."
Sophia's tone became a little low again: "Zhuo Yi was here before, and because of fear of her, the family did not dare to blatantly recommend others to compete with me.
But now that Zhuo Yi is gone, they no longer have any scruples and choose to hold a family meeting overnight. Gu Yan, I'm sorry, I may not be able to sit in grandpa's seat as you wish."
The tone of her voice and the slightly aggrieved mood when she spoke made me feel quite uncomfortable.
Although I feel that she is too weak, I can't let go of the current situation, so I can only comfort her for the time being: "It's also embarrassing for you, letting you, a girl, bear so many things by yourself. ωωw..net
Just wait a few more days, I will try my best to finish the work as soon as possible and go to St. Petersburg to see you before the Spring Festival to help you solve the problem and keep you company by the way."
In fact, I feel disgusted when I say this. Isn’t this what he is doing as a scumbag?
I didn’t know if Sophia would accept this, so I added: “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one can bully you. In fact, I think you can tell the person in charge of your family directly and say that Gu Yan approves.”
You, Sophia, are the only Patriarch of the Orthodox Church. If you have to let someone else be the Patriarch, let them think about the consequences themselves."
As soon as I finished saying this, Zhuo Yi started pouting again.
Of course, I also know that these words are too pretentious. The Romanov family has so many years of experience and it is impossible to be frightened by my few words.
But I know that Sophia will definitely not say this to her family. If I throw the words out, it will give her a sense of security, so why not?
Anyway, after I said this, Sophia became silent again.
She was silent and I was a little worried, thinking that this little girl should not start crying all of a sudden. If she did cry, I would not coax her.
Fortunately, Sophia just cleared her throat: "I know, I will try to stabilize the situation until you come to St. Petersburg, but you have to come here quickly. The pressure from the family is too great. As time goes by, I won't be able to hold on anymore."
."
"Well, I'll do it as soon as possible."
I felt like I didn't know what to say, so I just found a reason: "Then I'll hang up here and get rid of Veronica's body. We'll contact you when we have time."
“Contact anytime.”
After hanging up the phone, I didn't return it to Zhuo Yi immediately. Instead, I looked at Sophia's name on the screen for a long time.
Soon, Zhuo Yi glanced at me through the rearview mirror: "When you were on the phone just now, did you feel that this woman's attitude was a little cold now?"
"Yeah, I was just sitting here thinking about it."
I raised my head and looked at Zhuo Yi: "During my absence, that boy from the Pushkin family has been looking for Sophia, right?"
"That's for sure. Grandpa Sophia has just died. It's a sad time. Plus, you, the biggest lightbulb, have returned to China. Can't they seize the opportunity and take advantage of it?"
Zhuo Yi snorted coldly: "Women are the most fickle. She can be romantically involved with you today, and be romantically involved with someone else tomorrow. That's what relationships are all about."
"That doesn't matter. It's impossible for me to have anything happen to her anyway. It would be great if she really thinks Sergey is her rightful man. After all, I can't let someone stay with me forever, right?"
I handed the phone to Zhuo Yi: "But not now. Before we take control of the entire Orthodox Church, I will never allow Sophia to be seduced by that kid, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Although it is unethical to beat up mandarin ducks, sometimes you still have to do it, what do you think, Sister Zhuo Yi?"
"I think?"
Zhuo Yi rolled his eyes at me: "I think you have a lot of troubles. If you want to let me go, I will kill Sergey directly and put Sophia to sleep. Anyway, you don't even know all the troubles.
, still missing this one?
Anyway, all the women who have a relationship with me are my women. Even if I don’t sleep with him, she is not allowed to sleep with others, otherwise I will destroy his whole family. What is this called? This is his principle!"
