"The underworld raided the sanctuary, and the pope was killed!"
While the Holy Land was busy handling Shion's funeral, the news of the Pope's murder spread throughout the eighty-eight continents of the world as if it had wings.
For a moment, the world was shaken!
No one expected that the underworld would be so violent. It had not taken action for more than 200 years, but as soon as it took action, it went straight to the holy realm and killed the pope, the goddess’ spokesperson on earth!
No one expected that the Holy Land would be so weak. The home was stolen before the Holy War even started. So are the zodiac signs that have never been broken through in the legend just a decoration?
In short, with the death of the Pope, the Sanctuary's allies around the world have become panicked.
However, the enemies of the sanctuary and the evil forces all over the world have fallen into a carnival.
The direct result is...
The four fronts in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the sanctuary are in full emergency!
Messages for help spread to the sanctuary like snowflakes.
Alex the Altarpiece, who is responsible for the central operation, almost turned gray with worry overnight.
The Holy Land is not without strong people.
The key is that he can't change any of the truly strong people.
With the death of the Pope, the current zodiac has become divided into two factions:
One group is conservative, represented by Aiolos, Mu and Aiolia. They adhere to tradition and believe that the Holy Land cannot live without the Pope. They hope to usher in a new Pope as soon as possible and lead the Saints to protect the earth.
And the new pope they proposed to usher in was not Aiolos appointed by Shion, but...
Tonghu!
In their opinion, only Tong Hu's return to the sanctuary can shock the zodiac!
The other faction is the reformist faction.
The reformists believe that times have changed, and absolute authority will inevitably lead to absolute arrogance. They do not want the Sanctuary to continue to be a "one-word hall", and they do not want to see away a 200-year-old Shi Ang and usher in a 200-year-old Shi Ang.
Tong Hu.
This faction is represented by the twin brothers and has the support of all Saints except conservatives.
After all, the Holy Land has been suffering for a long time!
From the perspective of an ordinary Saint, Alex supports the reformists with both hands and feet, but the key is that he is Shion's confidant, and his identity determines his stance, so he can only stand on the conservative side.
The result is that he cannot mobilize any of the revolutionary Golden Saints, while the conservative Golden Saints adhere to dogma and cannot be mobilized without the order of the new pope.
In desperation, he had no choice but to come to Canon Island and ask his friend Lord Narcissus for help.
Narcissus is Milo's teacher and Saga's doctor. Another Gemini recently asked him to treat people. He has a certain influence on the reformists. He can at least remind these young golden saints to take care of themselves.
The big picture.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as Alex saw Narcissus, he was hit in the head by the latter.
"Alex, you are a fan of the authorities! Whether it is a conservative or a reformist, in the final analysis it is a dispute between the Gold Saints. What does it have to do with you, the Silver Saint? Does it affect you 7240?"
"In addition, innovation is the general trend now. Do you think Mu and Aiolia are really on the conservative side? Like you, their positions are determined by their status."
"Also, do you think Teacher Tong Hu will come to the sanctuary? Let's not talk about whether he can scare the reformists. As soon as he leaves Lushan, he will first disobey the goddess's order. If the demon star escapes completely, no one can control the consequences.
You can afford it!"
Narcissus' three consecutive questions left Alex stunned and speechless.
On the way back, Narcissus's metaphor of innovation was still ringing in his ears.
"Innovation is not necessarily a bad thing. Just like my right hand, I have been accustomed to using it for more than fifty years. But this time I went to the ice field and was injured by the absolute zero. I had to switch to my left hand. I didn't expect it...
It’s actually easier to use than my right hand!”
……
Papal Hall.
Under the mediation of Alex, the little golds sat together again.
They are really sitting together.
The throne in the Pope's Hall has been demolished and replaced by a round table, imitating the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, with a seat for each Golden Saint.
The minority obeys the majority!
Replace the pope’s arbitrariness with the collective decision-making of the Golden Saints.
The Twelve Golden Saints are both decision-makers and executors. They can put everything on the table and express objections at will, but once the matter is voted on, everyone must implement it to the letter.
These are the new rules of procedure of the Sanctuary. They are also the product of compromise between the conservatives and the reformists. They are also the best way to end the confrontation under the current situation.
Although it is said to be the product of compromise.
But everyone knows in their hearts that it was actually the conservatives who compromised.
There was no way. After the death of the Pope, Mu didn't want to stay in the Holy Land any longer. Xiao Ai was clamoring to go to the front line every day, leaving Aiolos alone. In order to keep the dogma of his faith from being cut off in the Holy Land, he could only choose to give in and compromise.
.
At least as long as he is here, the dogmatic spirit is there!
Today is the first meeting of the Twelve Goldens, discussing the aftermath of the Pope incident.
However, what Aiolos didn't expect was that starting from the first proposer, Aludiba, everyone was pointing their fingers at him.
Arudiba: "I think dogma should be completely abolished!"
Aiolos: "I disagree."
Aludiba: "Okay, then it's okay to improve the food in the sanctuary? After all, fighters need to continue to practice fighting and keep up with nutrition. They can't eat black bread every day, right?"
Aiolos: "That's...ok."
The second person to propose was Abrodi.
Abrodi: "I think dogma should be completely abolished!"
Aiolos: "I disagree."
Abrodi: "Okay, then it's okay to increase the income of the Saints? After all, we're not in the Middle Ages anymore. We don't have to use money for anything. Saints can't be penniless, right?"
Aiolos: "That's...ok."
The third person to propose was Milo.
Miro: "I think dogma should be completely abolished!"
"?!"
Aiolos: "Milo, did you do this on purpose as a team?"
Being tricked repeatedly, Aiolos became a little angry.
Jia Long tried to smooth things over: "Okay, we are holding a meeting, not a complaint meeting. In the final analysis, the treatment of the Saints has not kept up with the development of the times, and we need to maintain the necessary dignity."
Aiolos interrupted: "But our sanctuary has no funds!"
Jia Long asked back: "What about our funds? As far as I know, the Goddess Church raises a lot of donations every year!"
Aiolos: "The Goddess Church used it to help the poor."
Jia Long snorted:
"Using our meager funds to help people who are wealthier than us? Well, this is a reason.
So, why does the Goddess Church have enough funds? Everyone comes from the church training base, so you should know what kind of life those priests live, right? Why do we shed blood and sacrifice, and they live in peace for us?"
At this point, Jia Long's tone became sharper.
"So, I propose a thorough investigation of the Goddess Church, and give a satisfactory explanation to the 88 saints and more than 10,000 warriors who shed blood and sacrifice in the sanctuary!"
