This Paladin is so despicable!.

Chapter 574: The Pseudo-Story of Light

"As expected of a professional killer, this intelligence work is done to the standard!"

Wright expressed high recognition of Jenny's work, and then opened the information she left behind.

"Huh? How could this happen?"

Jenny lived with Arlo at home for quite some time, but she only provided very little information.

Through her intentional or unintentional inquiries, she basically confirmed their previous conclusions again - Ai Luo was just an ordinary second-generation teacher.

Her childhood was smooth sailing, and she was not cursed on her birthday like Sleeping Beauty.

Blessings, indeed, there are.

But that is a blessing from the Holy Spirit of Light.

And this blessing was not just for her. As the daughter of a cardinal, Aurora was regarded as the successor of the Holy Church of Light before she was even born.

It would be better to say that her parents' union had little love in it, but was more of a compromise and alliance between factions.

Perhaps, a political marriage might be more appropriate.

Therefore, at a very young age, Ai Luo joined the Holy Church of Light and received the blessing of the Holy Spirit of Light.

This is part of the initiation rite, not some special gift.

However, it seems to be a symbol of rebirth, or perhaps out of some political considerations.

Arlo's baptism day was chosen on her birthday.

If we have to match each detail with the fairy tale, this is the only point that can match.

From then on, Ai Luo, who joined the Holy Church, had a smooth journey and eventually became the Saint of the Holy Church of Light without any suspense.

Her life was planned, and she fulfilled her duties very conscientiously until recently, when she went to the Holy Mountain.

“Impossible… There are so many worlds, so many possibilities, but the witch’s curse came to this world and possessed her.

That means that Ai Luo must have something extraordinary, something special that makes him superior to other qualified people in other worlds.

But now it seems like things have gone astray.”

Wright muttered to himself and put away the information in his hand.

It also records some private matters of the Archbishop's family, but it is of little help to them in their search for the truth.

"Really..."

Wright has always believed that anything that is different must be a demon.

There was always a strange sense of silence in Aurora's ordinary childhood and the calmness of the Vatican's top brass after the arrival of the diplomatic envoy.

Although everything seems calm, Wright always feels that there must be undercurrents beneath the surface.

All this unusualness must have a reasonable explanation.

It’s a pity that they have no way of getting a glimpse of the answer now.

"Forget it, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth."

Wright relaxed his muscles and said, "If Aurora is really Sleeping Beauty, then it is unlikely to wake her up in a short period of time.

Then we should eliminate all the hidden dangers in this world and bring it under the jurisdiction of the Holy Light Court.

After everything is settled, I will find a way to induce the power in her body."

Thinking of this, Wright couldn't help but look towards the northwest.

"I don't know how Emily is doing right now. At times like this, I really need her genuine beast intuition."

"Lord God Envoy!"

At this moment, a signalman's voice came from the first floor: "His Holiness the Pope invites you to the cathedral to discuss the canonization ceremony!"

"okay, I get it."

Wright frowned slightly. He felt that the Pope was more anxious about his joining the upper echelons of the Church than he was.

"It's just right. Let's meet this old fox again and see if he can reveal his true colors."

Wright turned around and went downstairs, then, led by the messenger guard, got on the Vatican's luxurious carriage and drove towards his destination.

This is a carriage reserved for high-ranking officials of the Vatican. If you really want to dig deeper, Wright is not qualified to use it now.

But these days, when he travels with the Pope, he basically rides in such a carriage and has almost become accustomed to it.

The horses' hooves moved briskly, and the wheels rolled as the carriage drove into a quiet alley.

Wright suddenly became alert and wondered if the enemy was going to assassinate him here?

However, when the carriage left the alley and returned to the main road, no one took action.

"Could it be that the enemy wants to use the endless flow of people to disguise themselves and eventually kill them with one strike?"

However, just as Wright was thinking this, the carriage had already left the bustling downtown area.

"What's going on? We didn't take action when we had such a good opportunity just now..."

In this way, Wright was suspicious all the way and could see many places where he could take action.

But in the end, nothing happened.

He arrived safely at the door of the Pope's Basilica.

"No, no, no!"

Wright looked back at the road he came from with a strange expression.

Could it be that these guys really don't intend to attack me?

Oh! In this hall?

Is this a Hongmen Banquet?

There are five hundred swordsmen and axemen lying in ambush nearby?

Wright immediately became excited. So this was the script!
He immediately followed the guards excitedly into the cathedral of the Church of Light and stood before the statue of the Holy God of Light.

On both sides of the statue stood three archbishops and His Holiness the Pope.

When they saw Wright coming, three of them were very enthusiastic and ran over to chat with Wright intimately.

Only the cardinal looked unhappy, as if someone had kidnapped his precious daughter!
The other three people did not remind him to pay attention to his facial expressions in response to his behavior.

After all, no matter who it is, it is difficult to manage facial expression when faced with such a situation.

"OK OK."

The black cardinal was a rather forthright person, and he quickly stepped forward, grasped the red cardinal's hand, and forcibly brought him into the circle.

"Everyone!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Wright went straight to the point.

"You all called me here because there must be something more important that we need to discuss besides just chatting about family matters, right?"

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Seeing that Wright was getting impatient, the Pope quickly took two steps back with the archbishops.

"Mr. Divine Envoy, I invited you here today mainly for the upcoming appointment ceremony."

"Ritual, is there any problem?"

The Pope and the three bishops looked at each other, and finally nodded with strange expressions.

“There is nothing wrong with the ceremony itself; after all, it is not something particularly important.

The most troublesome thing is...is..."

Seeing him hesitating, Wright became even more curious.

This is the Pope!

In the bright world, that is an existence that holds the highest power and stands at the top of the pyramid.

What could be so difficult to handle that it even made him so embarrassed? "It's not the ceremony that has a problem, is it the official title that has a problem, or do the other people have objections?"

Wright asked again and again, but his voice became louder and louder, which really scared those people.

The Pope thought he was angry, so he didn't dare to beat around the bush and just started explaining directly.

"Mr. Divine Envoy, can you... communicate with the Holy Spirit of Light?"

What does this question mean?
Wright was very surprised. Could it be that the other party had seen through his trick?
It's impossible. I haven't performed these in front of people for a long time. Even if the Pope has great powers, he can't find any flaws in his rituals.

To make the fake look real is no joke.

But his next words left Wright dumbfounded and his jaw almost dropped.

“In fact, Mr. Messenger of God, we haven’t been able to contact the Holy Spirit of Light for a long time.

You heard it right, we are disconnected from the gods."

"what?"

Wright couldn't hold it in any longer. "How could this happen? In other words, you haven't had direct contact with the Holy Spirit of Light for a long time?"

The four highest leaders of the Holy See couldn't help but blush at this moment.

Although he was a capable assistant to the Holy Spirit of Light, he had no way of communicating with the God directly. Even indirect communication was rare.

This made Wright a little worried.

If the official prayer channels of the Holy See are also closed, then all this trouble will be meaningless.

"Don't worry, Mr. God's Messenger, we have all the equipment.

But I don’t know why, I just can’t contact the great Holy Spirit.”

Wright looked at the other party with a frown. Once the secret was known, it would not be so easy to escape unscathed.

"So you guys made such a big fuss just to tell me this news?"

The Pope walked straight down the stairs and came to Wright.

"We must never let the people know that the gods no longer respond to the affairs of this world.

But tomorrow, we still have to perform the ceremony.

One of the steps in the ceremony requires communication with the Holy Spirit of Light and obtaining approval.

But under the current circumstances, there is no way to hold it.

Therefore, at tomorrow's ceremony, you may need to find a way to simulate being blessed by the gods.

Can you understand what I am saying?"

"I think I know what it means."

Wright covered his forehead and sat on the bench in the church.

"I see. I was wondering what the problem was. I have been looking for something unusual in you.

Unexpectedly, the final reason turned out to be this.

It's really amazing."

After receiving this news, Wright suddenly felt enlightened.

Many phenomena that could not be explained before, as well as various abnormal behaviors, are no longer troublesome because of this point.

I thought it was going to be a thrilling bloody battle to decide the winner, but it turned out to be a fake large-scale visit to the parents' home.

Oh, so you are also fake?

No, the Church of Light cannot be called a fake.

They used to be genuine goods, but as time went by, they gradually became fakes.

The reason why they dare not do anything to themselves or the Holy Mountain is that they have always adopted a relatively weak attitude.

That's because they are not sure whether the Holy Mountain Messenger can communicate with the gods.

If the Holy Mountain's messengers can really communicate with gods who have long stopped responding to their prayers, then the Holy Mountain is undoubtedly the real thing.

And they have become garbage abandoned by the gods, not even qualified to be counterfeits.

But if the Holy Mountain Messengers are the same as the Court of Light, a group of people who take advantage of the fact that the gods no longer respond to prayers and try to cheat and deceive people, then things will become extremely interesting.

When an old liar meets a new liar, how will the story develop?
It is obvious that the old scammers now hope to collude with the new scammers so that they can continue to cheat.

Although some of the vested interests of the old scammers will be divided, it is better than everyone being exposed and then exploding together.

But the old scammer has always been unsure of the new scammer’s attitude. Is the other party prepared to continue cheating together, or to die together?
Or do they try to completely portray themselves as the real thing, and label the previous scammers as fakes?

If it is the latter, then the old scammers will definitely fight to the death.

But if it is the former, the old scammers are also very concerned about the appetite of the new scammers and whether they are interested in the position of the scam boss.

In a nutshell, it’s all about power and profit.

After Wright figured out these things, he felt really tired.

I didn't expect that so much time would be wasted on these things.

He didn't care about the redistribution of the profits he had plundered, he just wanted the official way of sacrifice from the Holy See.

As for these termites, there will be plenty of time to deal with them later.

But in order to prevent these old scammers from treating him as an enemy and causing trouble for him, Wright had to pretend to be willing to go along with them.

“I think there’s a saying that goes, happiness shared is worse than happiness alone.

The Holy Spirit of Light must be temporarily unable to respond to our call due to some reasons unknown to us.

Such a critical moment, such a special period.

I am willing to cooperate sincerely with everyone and try every possible means to find the Holy Spirit of Light and re-establish the close relationship between believers and God.

Of course, before that, I also hope to do my part for the management and development of the Holy See.

But I am still relatively young and inexperienced in all aspects.

In my future work, I still need to learn more from my predecessors!

I hope that all the seniors will be willing to give me some advice!
Ah ha ha ha ha..."

The Pope and the three archbishops felt very happy to hear Wright's social speeches.

After listening to just two or three sentences, they smelled something similar.

Since they are of the same kind, everything becomes very simple.

Moreover, the other party was so sensible and willing to cooperate, which swept away their previous worries and suspicions.

The two sides continued to chat about other matters regarding the future in-depth cooperation.

The meeting finally ended in laughter and joy, and both the guests and the hosts were very happy.

Wright also promised the other party that he would follow the steps and complete the entire process at tomorrow's inauguration ceremony.

Regarding the most important part, which simulates the miraculous descent of the Holy Spirit of Light, Wright put forward many constructive suggestions, to which the Pope and others readily agreed.

They also wanted to express their goodwill to Wright, the emerging young group.

After all, the Holy Mountain is now in its heyday, so we have to give it some face!
After saying goodbye to the four people, Wright got on the carriage again and headed towards the manor where he was staying.

The performance of the Pope and others left him speechless, but it also relieved some of his doubts.

Now, the last obstacle has been removed.

I just need to go to work as normal tomorrow, and then use my position to find out the truth about the Holy Spirit of Light, and I will find the final answer.

Just as Wright was thinking this, the carriage slowly drove into the secluded alley.

Whoosh!
A flaming arrow breaks through the air!
