Apostle of the Gods

138 Future policy

Zenobia laughed at the happy rubeum.

And he looks at me and says,

"It must have been quite a blow for the congregation."

"We can't be alarmed because we haven't collected and scrutinized the information yet."

Dion pierces the ankle.

"Yeah, I know."

Good, then.

Dion also has a calm expression.

That's what Dion dared say to tighten it up.

I'm pretty sure that Dion himself had a big blow.

I ask the happy disciples.

"Assuming you were struck, what sort of movement would the church take? Can you predict that?

"For the time being, I won't be able to move properly for a while. Why don't you pull yourself together and consolidate your defenses?

Apparently, Regina seems optimistic.

"It's hard to think about pulling. They're going to start moving backwards to restore their forces."

Zenobia is a little more pessimistic than Regina.

"What do you think of Dion and Milt?

"That's right. I don't think I can be alarmed."

"I... I think there's even a chance of a fierce offensive."

Milt seems to be the most pessimistic of his disciples.

"Milt, what makes you think that?

"I'm not sure because I don't have detailed information...."

"Like a hunch?

"You can think of that."

"Even so, isn't it just a guess?

Dion talked gently and encouraged Milt to share his thoughts.

"The Cardinal is the highest executive and leader. We should think that the magicians will move to attack the trail."

"Are you trying to take credit for being a cardinal?

Hearing Regina's words, Zenobia cursed her neck.

"I've done a lot of executives in the past, but I don't think I've done anything like that."

"Archbishop, right?

"That's true, but...."

It seems to be the first time in nearly a hundred years of fighting between the Salvation Organization and the Church that I have captured a Cardinal.

"I think the Cardinal and the Archbishop are very different."

"What do you mean? That's better for the Cardinal."

"There is no position above the Cardinal."

Hmm?

Milt, who decided that Regina still didn't seem to understand, began to explain politely.

If there is a Cardinal even after the Archbishop's death, it is the Cardinal of the Archbishop's boss who decides to succeed him.

But if the Cardinal dies, there is no one to nominate.

"It's just speculation... Perhaps the cardinals will discuss and decide."

Sure, I think so too.

"In that case, which Archbishop will be raised to Cardinal could be the political scene."

If his proposed Archbishop were to become Cardinal, his nominee would gain more influence within the congregation.

It is understood by all three cardinals, so you will presume your breathtaking Archbishop.

"Would it be best to have the Archbishop pay tribute to silence the other cardinals?

"... sure."

Regina seemed convinced.

It would be a great feat if the archbishop of the cardinal candidate took down the executive of the Salvation Organization.

It would be decisive if we could kill one of the sages.

"That's why I think we need to be especially careful."

"Faction fight. Hmm. I'm sure it will. That's Milt."

When I complimented him, Milt seemed to have lit up a little.

I shaved my back head with my left hand.

Well, maybe I'm worried.

"I've never been on alert. I have to tell the executives to be vigilant...."

"Well, I'll leave it up to Zenobia to contact the executives."

"That's fine, but what about Dion?

"I'll look inside the church for information."

Well then, I guess I'll crush once I find the Magus?

It would be perfect for Regina, who has high combat power and is otherwise not good at it.

"Master, please investigate with me."

"Okay."

I don't know. Milt is with his master. "

Regina is envious.

"It's the magician's privilege."

And Milt had a pretty face.

Then all the disciples began to move.

I joined Milt in the investigation.
