Chapter 88 – An Enemy’s Enemy Is a Useful Discard
I went to the place where the cardinal was with the disciple with a blank face in front.
Along the way, I asked a few questions. To see if this brainwashing is absolute.
“If I go on like this, will I be able to see the cardinal you serve?”
“Exactly… This is the office that Cardinal Limani visits from time to time.”
“If you’re unlucky, maybe you won’t see it?”
A nodding believer. I glanced up.
“If you don’t come, will you commit suicide?”
I thought I would beg for help. However, there was an unexpected response.
Tup! Cool!
Shindo began to squeeze my neck with both hands. It was unexpected.
“Whoah, not now!”
When I stopped him, the believer immediately stretched out both hands.
I’m all surprised Once again, I was amazed at the effect of the necklace. Like this?
‘Hey, Rao controlled a territory with this. People wouldn’t even know they were being tricked?’
I smiled and walked. After following the believer, they came to a building where ordinary offices were concentrated.
It’s too ordinary here.
“For a moment.”
I tried to get in, but a big guy blocked me. It’s not some kind of knight’s prayer.
He frowned and looked at me and the believer alternately.
“What are you guys?”
Telepathy was sent directly to the believer.
‘Tell me what I think.’
Conveyed thoughts. And.
Shindou calmly teased him.
“I am a follower of Cardinal Limani. While praying in the chapel today, a member of the congregation who praises Cardinal James hastily came to report it.”
“After?”
“He is the one I am grateful for protecting me from that believer. He came to receive instruction from the Lord.”
“… All right, go in.”
The guy stepped aside. I went up to the office with Shinto.
I don’t know what pseudo guys are different, but this is really the same. I came to receive instruction, so I left.
‘Since I have to devote my heart to my ancestors now, do I have to pay for it?’
I laughed and entered the office. Upon entering, I saw people working on documents here and there.
“Give me a fountain pen over there.”
“Do you have a copy of the accounting books?”
“Here’s an empty list, fix this error.”
I was working pretty busy.
‘What is it, doesn’t it sound like an ordinary company? It would be good for a bombshell.’
I was laughing silently when I heard a voice approaching me. When he turned his head, a middle-aged man with blond hair looked at Shindo and me.
“What did you guys come for?”
I don’t know what this guy is. He’s a non-Awakened saint. Let him ask.
“Are you Cardinal Limani?”
Drruck, squeak!
“Awful! Dear Cardinal!”
“The incarnation of the Lord!”
“It smells like heresy!”
Suddenly, people who were busy working stood up all at once and shouted at me.
I was honestly surprised.
What is this dog is scary No one told you to do it, but you said you did it conditioned reflexively?
‘Ah, they were pseudos.’
That’s right, they are pseudos. Assholes who sacrifice their families for their own comfort and false salvation.
Pick smiled and showed his composure.
“Cardinal Limani, let’s talk.”
“Me, with you?”
“It is very important. It might be of great help to you.”
“To me? I don’t know how you got here, kid. Should I be scolded?”
A sigh came out of my mouth. Do I look like a kid when I’m wearing a sword?
“Then you will see blood?”
At my one word, Limani’s gaze turned stern. I have to make it nice.
I smiled and gave orders to the believer.
‘Pick up a nearby fountain pen and stab it in the neck of someone close to you.’
Trudge, tuk. Fu-wook!
“Khaaaaagh!”
A believer who obeys my orders well. A fountain pen was stuck in the neck of a person who was working on documents, and red blood was spraying the surroundings.
It wasn’t death, but it was sudden bloodshed. People were perplexed.
“Annit?!”
I just shrugged.
“What are you going to do? Mr. Limani.”
“… All right, follow me.”
He took me somewhere as if he had made up his mind. It was a private office, deeper inside the office.
I was dumbfounded as I looked around. The office was pretty tidy.
This is a private office, so there are expensive sculptures of articles, famous paintings, and even rare bottles of alcohol.
All kinds of desires were revealed. This building itself will never be cheap. Because it is in the capital city.
“So, what are you going to tell me?”
Leaning back in the study, he answered Limani’s question.
“Your leader is dead. At Weaverpool.”
“… What? Don’t bullshit! Could our headteacher be dead?!”
“It is true.”
I’m right NecklaceHave heard If you’re a cardinal, you know what this is.
Limani looked at the necklace and his pupils convulsed.
“No, no way… How? Rather, then the news should be delivered?”
“Aren’t there many sources?”
“No, there is only one source. If you keep several people for no reason and are discovered, you might be caught by the empire.”
Well, you’re thorough in this respect. But this, on the other hand, was blinding other cardinals besides James.
“Those few sources must have already been taken over by James. So, isn’t a big man like you still ignorant of this news?”
While raising Limani moderately, he was aware of reality.
He seemed to be listening to me more and was taken aback.
“It can be. James, it’s been said before that he would. You’re faster than I thought!”
“Because he’s such a kid.”
“… What do you want?”
Limani to say the purpose. Then you should let me know decorate it a bit
“I mean, personally, James. Do you have a grudge against that bastard? But from what I’ve heard, several cardinals like you gather to keep James in check.”
“Well? It’s the first time ever.”
Are you going to pretend not to know? I have a way too
“Is not it? I’m wrong. I wanted to at least make you follow in the footsteps of the leader.”
“What?”
“James, rather than that serpentine, Limani. You are more prestigious and have a good public image, right? Even among the common people, there are praises for you.”
“About me… Is it cold?”
The joy seemed to show on Limani’s face, but then it disappeared. She was hiding her emotions.
It was clumsy, but she was in the right shape for the position.
“Yeah, this song. I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m happy! I am happy to believe in Limani!”
Of course it’s a made up song. A song like this is a hymn and will wander around.
But Rimani’s lips parted as if they were caught in her ears. It was natural. It’s just a pseudo-asshole who only follows her greed.
“Hmm, is that so? Well, I did do some favors. I was also diligent in preaching the gospel.”
Thank god. Meeting such a stupid, greedy bastard.
If she met a guy like James Meth, her battle of brains would have been prolonged.
“Well, okay. I’ll have to go to another cardinal.”
She turned around
“Hey, wait!”
I knew she would catch on. After grinning, she turned around expressionless.
“What?”
“It is true that we unite to keep Cardinal James in check. But his power is too great. How can you be called the next religious leader!”
Was it already called that? James is just as cunning. Originally, no matter how stupid you are, if people around you praise you as a genius, you will be proud.
“You just gather all the people who hate James.”
“Why?”
“It’s nothing else, the leader is dead. A cunning guy like James would already be doing everything he could to get the position of the leader?”
“That would be it.”
“But what if you are like this?”
Then Li Mani trembled at her. The guy rested his chin and nodded.
“That’s right. I should at least hold a prime meeting.”
Prime meeting.
It is used to refer to a meeting of religious heads in one place.
To say such grandiose words on a pseudo-topic. It’s not even funny.
Well, as expected.
“That’s good. Gather your forces as much as possible. There is only one chance now.”
“But what will happen if I collect them all?”
“Right now, the only people who know that the leader is dead are you and James. When the Prime Meeting happens this time, at least your allies will know about it. Let’s use this.”
“Hoo… I think I know something.”
As if he hadn’t risen to the cardinal position by playing poker, Limani also had a look on his face that he had a plan.
Yes, you should at least think about tempering James.
He thought for a while and then whistled. I think I came up with a pretty good idea.
“I know, I know. We can put the death of the cult leader on James.”
“Yes. If it’s him, the motive is clear. I don’t know, but there are fake guards from James at the checkpoint. If you’re going to clean it up, you’d better get rid of them first and have a quick meeting.”
“Hehe, that’s good! However…”
Rimani laughed for a moment, then turned to me with a serious expression.
Open both eyes slowly.
“Why are you helping me?”
“I told you. I have a grudge. I want to see his blood That’s what you guys do, establish a cause, set the stage for incitement and fabrication, and put public opinion on your back and put pressure on James.”
“I know what to do. That should be enough.”
“Sure, then.”
Hehe, this is an opportunity given by the Lord. You’re implying that I’m qualified to become a religious leader!”
Limani spreads her hands toward the sky and laughs stupidly. If you see him arrogant, this guy’s level comes out right away.
Even as he laughed at him inwardly, he kept a stern expression on his face.
“Then do well. It would be better to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. James’ touch is everywhere.”
“Wait, leave that necklace behind.”
As I was about to leave, Limani gave me a greedy look. Its eyes were piercing his necklace.
“This? No.”
“Why?”
“I’ll give it to you when I see you guys did really well.”
“What?!”
“Don’t confuse your priorities, Ki-kyung. Is it first to take this away from me, or to immerse James right away? Isn’t it an easy worry?”
At my words, Rimani clicked her tongue, but she couldn’t take her eyes off her necklace until the end. He is a very greedy and honest guy.
“Heh, I’ll take care of that! You just look How I do the will of the Lord!”
“Yes, that is the spirit.”
It’s smooth. I had to avert this guy’s eyes by impulsing him like this.
To make it easier for me to suffocate James.
But Limani’s face suddenly darkened.
“Hmm, but it’s also difficult.”
“What?”
“There is a noble who supports James. It’s going to be pretty powerful.”
“Who?”
“Xia JinpingCount!”
A name I know came up. Ha ha, the name that came out came out.
