My name is Ren

Chapter 663 The greatness of faith lies in devotion, and the greatness of devotion lies in faith

As soon as he entered the study, Ren stopped in his footsteps. There was a person sitting on the sofa in the study, with his back to Ren, holding a cup of green tea, tasting it with gusto.Judging from his back, this person should be very young, at least not more than 30 years old.He wore a white cloak with a silver trim around the collar.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned his head and took a look, and immediately stood up and greeted Ren with a smile, "Dear Sir Ren, we meet again."

It was only then that Ren remembered who this person was, and he strode over. Kate, who was curled up on the desk, jumped lightly and jumped out of the window.

He stretched out his hand, "Long time no see!"

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." The two of them shook hands and broke up. This person is none other than the official bishop of Ortrenburg, Egger.The two haven't seen each other since Ren left Ortrenburg. He still has a good impression of this young man. At least he didn't teach the rotten stereotypes of the apostles, and he is a man who can keep up with the times. young people.

To say that others are young, in fact, Ren is not a young man, but he never regards himself as a young man, and always ignores his age.What's even more amazing is that others often ignore Ryan's age and regard him as a middle-aged man, or even an old bone.

After the two sat down, the maid brought new tea, smiled and pointed to the teacup, "Do you like this?" His relationship with Iger was pretty good, and the church treated him well when he was in Ortrenburg. There is still a lot of support, at least it didn't hold him back. In addition, he had a meeting with the Pope, and his perception of the church changed drastically in an instant, so he seemed a little more casual when speaking.

Iger nodded again and again, and couldn't help praising, "This is the most amazing drink I've ever seen. It's bitter and astringent in the mouth, making people want to spit it all out, but after it's swallowed, there's a special mellow and sweet taste that gives the It is a very, very special enjoyment for people. I enjoy walking for a long time in the dense forest, and I am so tired that I almost stop breathing, but when I take the last step, all the occlusions in front of me disappear, and the whole world is placed in my own In his eyes...", he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist before releasing it, "I don't know how to describe it, but it always gives people an unforgettable feeling."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing, "I was also forced to drink it because I couldn't find a place to spit it out. I want to thank that there are not so many trash cans here, and I didn't miss a drink like this." Perfect drink."

This is an interesting thing. It is very good to be able to say it openly to illustrate Iger's character and nature, at least not hypocritical or artificial.

"I just like this kind of sweetness, so I love this drink." Ren picked up the teacup and blew on the tea soup, took a breath, and the fragrance filled his teeth, "Look at the style of your clothes, I have to Congratulations, Archbishop Iger!"

Iger smiled casually, and didn't seem to feel joy because of Ryan's congratulations, "Although the archbishop is extremely honorable in the church, I am not the only one. Besides, what will happen in the future, no one knows. , isn't it? Besides, I believe your Excellency should be very clear about why I came. "

Ren nodded. He really knew that the short but definitely not simple conversation he had with the Pope in Byron had destined something to an unknown future.He gave his price to the Pope, and now Iger's arrival is the Pope's answer to Ren, whether his price is suitable or not.

What Ryan said to the Pope at the time was actually very simple to put it bluntly. He set up a gamble, and it depended on whether the Pope dared to bet.If the bet is won, then the church will usher in a peak that has not been seen in thousands of years. If the bet is lost, it may not recover for a long time.This is not only a competition of brain power and vision, but also a competition of foreign understanding and courage.

Ren looked at Iger, and Iger suddenly sighed, "Your Excellency Ren, the Pope asked me to tell you that you have won!" He looked at Ren with a complicated expression, "Speaking of which, I really want to thank you As for you, if it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I’d still be a little bishop.”

In a word, Renn was a little moved. He almost couldn't control his butt, and almost stood up.On the surface he was only slightly ups and downs, but in fact his heart was already raging with anger.What he thought was the most impossible thing to achieve actually happened? !
At this time, in the church headquarters in Sunset City, the Pope, who had just returned from the Byron Empire, looked exhausted, and the meeting of 22 people was held.Except for those cardinals who were still assisting the half-orcs against the royal family in Byron, the remaining ten cardinals had already sat at the table.

In addition, there are three archbishops, their complexions are not very good-looking, and they sat on the sidelines to listen to the meeting with elongated faces.

The moment the Pope walked into the conference room, everyone stood up to show respect for the Pope.The Pope waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"You know why I came back, so this meeting is held now just for the final confirmation and unification of opinions." In addition to physical exhaustion, Hegera is also extremely exhausted mentally. I find that the ideas put forward by Rennes are very valuable, and it is very likely that the church will really usher in the second big leap forward and reach its peak again.

Different people have different positions, different standpoints when looking at things, and different starting points.After he communicated with the cardinals in the church, some people immediately jumped out to oppose his idea, calling it a betrayal of the church and faith.He couldn't figure it out, what on earth were these people trying to do?
Obviously there is a bright road that leads directly to the key points, but they insist on taking the rough path that may not be able to pass through. The starting point of these people is really for the church itself, okay?

Not necessarily!
As long as there is a distinction between levels, there must be a progressive progression of power, which will also breed ambition for power.

This is not surprising to Hegla, but these people are too confused. They are so confused that they want to interfere with the great opportunity that the church has never seen in a thousand years for their own selfishness. That is really a dead end!

He has secretly executed a cardinal, and the matter has not yet spread to the country. He wants to see how many people are making plans for themselves, not for the good of the church.He can even give up the Pope's position, and those people can't bear even a little power, so there is no need for them to continue living.

The Pope is a good man, kind, kind, and soft-hearted, but at the same time he is also the helm of the church. When necessary, there is no difference between him and Ryan.

The ten main host bishops present looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke first, and the archbishops who were sitting on the sidelines also bowed their heads and remained silent.

Hegla frowned, "If you have any objections, you can raise them now. If you don't say it now, it will be too late to say it at that point!"

That's right, Hegera intends to give Rennes his seat. In other words, Rennes will soon become the No. 1 Pope of the church.

No, it should be the Pope!
Once he takes office, the dual identities of emperor and pope are enough for him to restore the glory of the church's most prosperous period thousands of years ago, and become the pope, the justified pope.Under political cooperation, whether it is the regime of mortals or the divine power from the church, they are all tightly grasped in his hands. He will become the first Pope after the low tide period, the Grand Pope!
Hegara could see clearly that his wisdom was comparable to that of Rennes, and what Rennes thought was exactly what he thought.The Orlando family's continuous suppression of the church for hundreds of years has indeed caused a heavy burden and serious harm to the church.But is the church really powerless to resist?No, the church has not only the power to resist, but also the power to reshape the empire.

The reason why everyone has maintained a relatively balanced state until now is largely because they are restraining each other.

The Orlando family is stupid, but Ryan is very smart. When Ryan cryptically proposed that he wanted to be the next Pope, Hegla realized that the opportunity for the church to return to glory had come!
What's wrong with giving up something for this?
The air in the silent room was about to freeze, and after a while, an archbishop coughed lightly.If there are no accidents, it will take up to ten years. When Higra is older and unable to take care of the entire church, he will become the new pope.From the day he was selected, many people expressed their allegiance to him openly and secretly.Although he said that he was not as good as Hegla, he actually didn't want to be the next pope, and he didn't want to spend his life in busy work.

But the dark feeling in his heart is only understood by himself.

It's a pity that this beautiful situation was ruined, by Ren, and by Higra.He really doesn't understand, you, a usurping emperor, want to play a guest role as Pope even if you don't want to be a good one, is it true that you really want to find something to do to exercise to increase your stomach power when you are full?

Of course, it is undeniable that Hegera’s explanation is barely enough to say the past. Once the emperor becomes the pope, then the emperor does not need to worry about fearing that the church will rebel one day. He holds political power tightly, and the church If nothing can affect him, then the good days of the church will follow.

The reason is simple.

It is impossible for the emperor to belong to your family for generations, and it is impossible for the pope to belong to your family for generations, but if you are the emperor and the pope at the same time, the pope under political ties, you can passed on from generation to generation.

As long as this situation is not to be changed, Ren must run the church well while running the entire empire. Both are indispensable.

It's just that those who want to object can find reasons for their objection anyway.

The future Pope has such a view, "Your Majesty, how can you ensure that Rennes will not increase the influence of secular politics by weakening the power of the Church? You must know that in the past 370 years, the Church has always been The enemy and target of the imperial power, it is very likely that Rennes will continue this attitude, the reason why he met with you and put forward such a condition is just his conspiracy, what do you think?"

Because of his special status and status, his prestige in the church is still very high.When he took the initiative to stand up and question Hegera's decision, the others had nothing to say.

Higla laughed, and glanced over the faces of the thirteen people present, "Is this what you mean?"

After a brief exchange of eyes, the two cardinals expressed their views, and they nodded.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be struggles. Struggles can be by force or by intelligence.The rest of the cardinals did not make a statement, just hoping that there would be room for them to turn around if the meeting deteriorated, but they did not realize that Hegla, who was particularly fond of this opportunity, would not give them this opportunity.

Higla's half-closed eyes were full of sadness. After all, they were old partners who had been together for five or sixty years. It was very difficult to calm down when they suddenly had to accept the news that they had left the world and returned to the kingdom of heaven.He shook his head with a wry smile, "Since when did everyone become different?"

Just as someone was about to speak, he raised his hand to stop that person, "I remember when we were still priests, we swore together that we would give our all, whether it was life or soul, to revitalize the church. Selling one's soul can be exchanged for a chance to revitalize the church, and we will stand up without hesitation."

"But when this opportunity comes, right in front of you, why do you shrink back? Is it because of power?" He raised his head, full of puzzlement and confusion, "Has power really covered your eyes? , Have you blinded your hearts? Even made you forget what we are fighting for?"

"Your Majesty, listen to me..." A cardinal stood up to smooth things over. As soon as he opened his mouth, Hegra stopped him roughly.

"I don't want to hear it, I only feel sadness and anger!" He suddenly raised his hand, and three holy lights shot out from his palm, and the three apostles who clearly opposed his opinion fell to the ground in an instant, losing their breath .

He stood up from his seat, "Let's tell the whole church that the three adults have dedicated themselves to the future of the church, and they have returned to the embrace of God the Father." In an instant, Higra's momentum soared, " Now, who else is against it?"

Everyone was speechless, staring dumbfoundedly at Hegera who had always appeared as a good old man. For the first time, they realized that they had never really recognized what kind of person Hegera was.

In other words, from the day their mentality changed, they took different paths from Hegera, going farther and farther!
