When Clyde heard the words "what a pity about a genius", he was overjoyed in his heart.
He has already understood the choice of Pope Hightower of the Church of Light.
"You may withdraw." Haitings waved his hand and said calmly.
"Yes, Your Holiness." Clyde bowed respectfully and then left the top floor of the Temple of Light, leaving only Pope Haintes alone in the grand hall. Haintes walked to the window and gazed down at the city of Finlay below, remaining silent.
After a long time - "Knock!" "Knock!" "Knock!" The sound of knocking on the door started.
"Come in." Haitings said calmly.
As he entered the hall, it was Gilmer, dressed in a red robe. Gilmer glanced at Haiting's back and could sense that Haiting was not in a good mood, so he respectfully said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, how do we persuade Lin Lei now?"
"Persuasion? No." Haitings said calmly.
Gillmer looked up at Haiting in surprise, if he wanted to make Lin Lei useful for himself now, he should at least persuade Lin Lei. After all, not long ago, Haitings had seriously injured Lin Lei, and Lin Lei also had a great feud with Clyde.
"Gilmer, do you know who Lin Lei's mother is?" Haiting turned his head to look at Gilmer.
Jill was taken aback and asked in confusion: "Isn't Lin Lei's mother the one who died from a difficult labor when giving birth to Lin Lei's younger brother?"
No.
Haiting shook his head and said, "When you investigated Lin Lei's mother's information at the beginning, you didn't investigate the truth of the matter. In fact, Lin Lei's mother was the woman we found twelve years ago."
That woman twelve years ago!
Gillmer suddenly remembered because the woman had a great influence on the high levels of the Temple of Light.
"Ah, his mother has already been killed by us, then?" Gilmer suddenly completely understood the distress in the heart of Pope Radiance.
Lin Lei, this genius character, is indeed very attractive. However, in the future, once Lin Lei finds out about his mother's message, the threat to the Glory Church will be even greater.
"Gillmer, on the 28th of this month, is the most dazzling time for the glory of the Lord of Light." Haitings said abruptly.
"Yes." Gilmer seemed puzzled as to why Haymitch said this.
"Get ready, I'm going to pray for 'Master' to descend with 'Divine Favor' on that deep night." Haiting said calmly.
"Divine favor?" Gilmer was shocked, but in an instant he understood Hating's idea and secretly sighed, "His Holiness the Pope may be planning to bestow 'Divine Favor' on Lin Lei. Although Lin Lei's future achievements will be limited, with his talent, he won't fall behind either. It's just a pity that his talent is being wasted."
Divine favor is actually a manifestation of the power of faith in the true body of the Lord of Light.
The Lord of Light, as the strongest 'main god', can completely purify a person's soul with a thread of faith power, making this person absolutely faithful and loyal to the Lord of Light. Unless the person's soul reaches the level of 'Holy Domain' and condenses into substance, it can resist the purification of faith power.
Otherwise... it's absolutely impossible to resist!
However, the soul being purified by the 'power of faith' from the Lord of Light itself will also affect Lin Lei's 'innate talent', and his future achievements will definitely be reduced.
"What a pity, what a waste of a genius." Haight sighed again.
Just now he said 'what a pity' in front of Clyde, it was because of this reason. Haitings also felt at ease, because once Lin Lei was cleansed by the power of faith, even if he knew about his mother's matter later on, he would still believe and be loyal to the 'Lord of Light'.
The power of faith can penetrate deep into one's soul!
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen days have passed, and the entire city of Fenlai is still as quiet as it was in the past. However, the great nobles and wealthy merchants of Fenlai City all feel a sense of oppressive atmosphere. For example, His Excellency Clyde has been in a very bad mood lately, and several noble ministers have already touched his sore spot and been beheaded.
Next to the Champs-élysées, behind a luxurious hotel, in a quiet three-story building, a group of people are gathering.
Yale, Reno and George all gathered here.
Ever since they found out about Lin Lei's situation, the three of them worried about Lin Lei every day. They were very clear that this time Lin Lei had stirred up even more trouble - openly attacking King Klay'd and killing over a thousand elite warriors of the kingdom. Even provoking the Pope of the Radiant Church to personally take action.
"Yale, have you found out any news about Lao San?" George asked, and Reno also looked at Lin Lei.
Yale shook his head.
The three of them looked very unsightly, they and Lin Lei grew up together since childhood, eating and sleeping together at Ernst Magic Academy, although not biological brothers, but better than biological brothers. They couldn't just watch Lin Lei being executed like that.
"We have no way, we can't even get in touch with the upper echelons of the Illuminati." Yale said somewhat anxiously, "You guys wait a few more days, my father will be here soon."
Yale's father - Monroe Dawson!
The president of Dawson Chamber of Commerce, who holds the terrifying Dawson family, has wealth that even the two major alliances and four major empires envy. However, their business network is spread across various cities on the entire Yulan continent, and can already influence a country's economic prosperity and decline.
The three major chambers of commerce, each with a terrifying influence.
Neither of the two great alliances nor the four great empires wanted to fall out with the three major merchant guilds, because once a certain guild really fell out with a certain empire, it was likely to cause an economic collapse of an empire, setting it back decades in an instant, and causing internal chaos within the empire.
"Yale, you said just two days ago that we only need to wait a few more days. If we keep waiting, I'm afraid..." Reno's voice was laced with urgency.
Yale is also helpless.
This time his father was playing in a kingdom not far from the Kingdom of Fenley, and as soon as he knew it, he immediately sent a message to his father at the fastest speed. He hoped that his father would rush to Fenley City, as the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, where Hating needs to meet him in person.
Father stepped in, and the possibility of saving Lin Lei is much greater.
"Master! Master!" A tall and thin young man rushed in quickly, excitedly saying, "Master, the President has arrived."
"Dad!"
Yale suddenly stood up, and there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of Reno and George.
The living room in the middle of the Temple of Light specially welcomes distinguished guests.
A nearly two-meter-tall, big-bellied bald man with a beaming smile walked into the living room. This bald fat man, with his two-meter height and terrifying waistline, probably weighed around 300-400 pounds.
This is Munro Dawson, the president of Dawson Commercial Corporation!
From another door entered the radiant Pope Hattyns.
Haiting is also two meters tall, but Haiting is slender and tall. These two people, one fat and one thin, are both bald. It's really interesting to compare them.
Behind Monroe Dawson were two middle-aged men, one a blond-haired man with a pair of cold and indifferent eagle eyes, the other a robust red-haired man. These two men stood solemnly behind Monroe Dawson. Without a doubt, these two were ninth-level powerhouses!
Behind Hating is two red-robed cardinals, a man and a woman. They are Gilmer and Marina.
"Oh, Your Holiness."
Munro Dawson let out an exaggerated whoop and then bowed low. But with Munro's big belly, bowing was a very strenuous affair.
"Sit down, Munro," said Hutton, still in a friendly manner.
Munro Davidson took his seat at once and Hettins did likewise.
Monroe Dawson's big butt was really too big, and ordinary chairs were not good to sit on. Fortunately, the Holy See had prepared in advance, and Monroe sat down with a big butt, stroking his long "eight-character beard" contentedly, laughing: "Your Holiness, I was originally playing at Qing Shi Lake this time, who knew my son wanted me to rush over. Alas, you also know that as a father, I have no choice."
"Monroe, you certainly are spoiling little Yale." Haight said with a faint smile.
Monroe Dawson nodded helplessly: "Hehe, that little guy. But I've heard Yale tell me that he has an incredibly good brother named Lin Lei. Not only is he a master of stone carving, but also a magical genius and a powerful warrior. I was impressed when I heard it. It's just that Yale said this Lin Lei was imprisoned in your Temple of Light."
"That's what happened." Hitchens nodded in acknowledgement.
"Your Holiness, give me some face and let Lin Lei go. He's just a young man, who wouldn't be impulsive? Although I also know he wanted to assassinate Clyde, but Clyde isn't dead, is he? This small matter, I suppose Your Holiness won't mind too much?"
Munro Dawson put it mildly.
But Hitchens couldn't answer casually.
Everyone says that Hitchens should give Monroe a face. If Hitchens directly refuses, isn't it not giving Monroe a face? Don't look at Monroe's smiling face, but Hitchens is very clear about the astonishing power of 'Dawson Chamber of Commerce' behind this bald fat man.
"Monroe." Haiting shook his head, "It's not that I don't give you face, but I really can't let him go. Because... Lin Lei also killed people from the Religious Tribunal, especially among them was a disciple of 'Wusenno', Wusenno is extremely angry this time."
"What's wrong?" Monroe asked, furrowing his brow.
Ursenna, who was another giant of the Luminous Church - the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal of the Faith.
In essence, the Illuminati should have two leaders, one is the apparent 'Illuminati Pope', and the other is the leader who carries out killings and executes all heretics - the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition.
"Some trouble." Monroe knew it was bad news.
This Haiting might still care about his identity, but that cold-blooded Usenno is simply a killing maniac.
However, Monroe guessed it too.
"Is this Lin Lei, the disciple who killed 'Wu Sen Nu'? This is obviously a fabrication by Hai Ting Si, and I have no way of asking Wu Sen Nu." Monro Dawsen sighed helplessly, he also understood that Hai Ting Si was clearly not willing to let Lin Lei off easily.
Munro Dawson is indeed very envious of Lin Lei.
It's especially surprising that Lin Lei can actually transform into a Dragon Blood Warrior. This Lin Lei has too much potential in both magic and martial arts. Once Dao Sen Merchant Guild gets Lin Lei, once Lin Lei steps into the Sacred Realm, Dao Sen Merchant Guild's influence may surpass the other two major merchant guilds at one stroke.
"In that case, I'll leave first." Monroe stood up directly.
"Honestly, Monroe," Haints said with a faint smile, "the punishment for Lin Lei within the Holy See of Light has not been determined yet. Once it is decided, I will send someone to inform you."
"I've been staying in Finlay City for a while now, and I'd love to see the Yulan Festival soon. The 10,000-year-old Yulan Festival is such a grand celebration, it's probably something you can only experience once in a lifetime." said Monroe Dawson with a smile.
As he spoke, Monroe Dawson departed with two guards.
Haiting calmly watched Monroe's departure, while Gilmer beside him whispered: "Your Holiness, that dead fat Monroe still dares to covet Lin Lei. After the 28th, no matter what Monroe thinks, it will be useless."
Haiting turned back and glanced at Gilmer with a faint smile, then also left the reception hall.
Now, just wait for December 28th.
