The door was pounding and the young man's voice came through the door.

"Father...you open the door, open the door..."

"I'm Osborne, I have something urgent to see you..."

After a long time, the door suddenly opened with a crack.

The Pope staggered and walked out.

The blonde young man was completely stunned... The old man in front of him was so strange, hunched and shrunken, his eyes were turbid, as if half of his foot had stepped into the coffin, and his whole body was filled with a decadent aura... But Osborne was too familiar with his godfather, so he recognized it carefully, but he still recognized it!

"Father? What's wrong with you!" The blonde young man was shocked!

The pope looked at Osborne expressionlessly for a while, looked away, and walked forward slowly with his scepter.

"Is it because of the previous fight with the demon?" Osborn hurriedly caught up. He knew that the Pope had always had secret injuries and was not suitable for fierce battles! But before, he had clearly emitted a thick white light column to attack the huge face of the dark clouds in the sky. Could it have caused the old injury?

One of them was fast and the other was slow. After walking through three corridors, the Pope finally sighed.

"After experiencing this incident, I hope you can grow up." The old man patted Osborne on the shoulder, "My deadline is approaching, and you must mature as soon as possible. A big stall in the Holy See, there must be someone to inherit after I leave!"

"You mean..." Osborne opened his mouth wide.

"That's right, after I die, you will be the next pope." The old man said calmly.

"No, you are only in your sixties. With your strength, it will be fine to live to be 100..."

"I know my body, at most, there is only one year left..." The Pope smiled bitterly, "Because of this, all plans must be advanced! Whether it is prepared or not, it cannot be delayed..."

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing... let's go ahead and re-convene the Inquisition and reopen churches in various places. No matter what method is used, I will find the real prophet quickly! Arrange these things, and you will go to the cabinet in person and tell them the whole thing." The Pope said.

"Will those people in the cabinet agree?" Osborne was stunned.

—————

Knights Castle, Council Hall.

The King of Carl experienced a doomsday catastrophe, with many casualties, and it was the time when the cabinet was in a state of chaos! The seven-year-old little king could not count on...

Just when the meeting was in a fierce debate, the arrival of a man caused the ministers to fall into embarrassing silence.

"Is it you who destroyed Dillisi before?" Sir Duncan, who was wrapped in bandages, glared at the blonde young man for a while and spoke first, "On behalf of the Royal Knights, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Although Osborne was wearing a black mask when he took action, he just deceived ordinary people! Several sub-legendary strong men could easily judge his identity from the power aura.

"Prophet" Osborne was very famous some time ago.

Sir Duncan started, and the other ministers naturally expressed their gratitude. No matter what, Dillisi's strength at that time did make everyone despair! I almost thought that Carl King Ting would be as frightened as Sauron's ruins! At this moment, it was not an exaggeration to say that Osborne was the "life-savior"...

The atmosphere was eased.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Osborne bit the bullet and told the Cabinet ministers about the Pope's explanation.

He could almost imagine the next second that these ministers would be in a furious manner!

This is indeed the case...

Sir Duncan's face instantly became ugly. The great wizard Randolph snorted angrily. The little dwarf Lord Jared rolled his eyes quietly, and the other ministers shook their heads... Just looking at their appearance, if they voted, Osborne would almost certainly be a series of unfavorable results for the Holy See!

But at this time, a person spoke out.

It is the dragon-headed prime minister.

The hideous dragon bone crown covered his head, making people unable to guess his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. At this moment, Long Xiang said in a hoarse voice: "I agree."

The ministers were stunned.

"Have you all forgotten the prophecy of the Great Sage..." Long Xiang sighed in a distant voice, "The Dark Age has undoubtedly arrived. Dilisi's appearance in the royal city this time is evidence. Just imagine, if there is a slight mistake today, the Wang Ting may be gone! Perhaps, it is the end of our era... I don't trust the prophet at this time, so when will it last?"

"If I had any questions about Osborne's identity before, then until today, I finally confirmed... he is the prophet."

"Prophet?" Osborne was stunned: "I don't..."

His voice came to an abrupt end.

He thought of the old-fashioned appearance of the Pope and his high hopes for himself... If he denies that he is a prophet at this moment, it will really push the Pope to the forefront! All the lies were told by the Pope for himself. The Pope, the person closest to God, actually deceived the world? How angry it will make the world... The Father said that he only had one year left to live, and half his foot had stepped into the grave. Will he still have to bear this at this time?

But at this moment, not denying it almost means admitting...

Not to mention Osborne's troubles, many ministers looked at each other. The issues Long Xiang mentioned were indeed something they had not considered before!

"Allow churches in various places to reopen, and the courtrooms can also be restored. In the face of disaster, human beings need all their strength..." Long Xiang's tone was light, as if he was not worried about the threat of the re-emergence of the Holy See! More importantly, he did not mean to ask everyone to raise their hands to vote, but went directly to the conclusion!

No one opposed the other eight ministers, and even the king did not ask about it, so the resolution was passed.

———————

After Osborne left, the Pope staggered into the library of the Cathedral of Light.

Unlike the palace library of the Carl royal family, there are rich and complete books from all walks of life, and they are relatively new, while the Holy See's library has a more historical atmosphere! Most of the books are old and isolated books and originals, and most of them are recorded with unknown secrets.

The Pope slowly walked beside the bookshelf, recalling every word of the curse before Dilisi died!

He hoped to find a way to relieve the curse among these precious books... However, he became more and more disappointed, because looking at the history of the past five epochs, there was no single word that people who were cursed by the demons still had a way to be liberated!

Since it cannot be lifted, the only thing that is placed before the pope is to accept reality...

A year later, he will fall into the abyss and become a member of the demon!

He suddenly remembered the previous conversation.

"You are lying, how can a person become a demon..."

"Impossible? Haha, just a while ago, you came into contact with one, and I could even smell its breath on you!"

The pope frowned deeply.

Countless questions bother him. What does a person look like when he becomes a demon? Should he become a crow like Dillisi? Or other monsters? Will it be painful?

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to find the guy Dilisi mentioned, the human who turned into a demon! He saw the other person with his own eyes and asked him personally, what was it like?

"I've come into contact with you some time ago..." The Pope murmured to himself, carefully recalling everyone and all the monsters he had contacted in the past six months, but did not find any weirdness.

Suddenly he stopped and his eyes were frozen in a book.

The title of the book is "Biography of the Dark Wizard".

The Pope knew that they were the group of people who recorded some famous fallen magicians in history - commonly known as evil wizards!

There are more than one evil wizard in history. The disagreement between the priest and the magician is just a contradiction of ideas, but after all, they are all members of the adventurer of light... And the evil wizard is different. They are a group of fallen people who abandoned the light and defected to the darkness! In exchange for powerful power, so almost all the evil wizards in history are terrifying.

Seeing this book, a flash of lightning flashed through the Pope’s mind!

Resigning to the darkness in exchange for strength... Isn't this a transaction?

Could it be that the essence of the evil wizard is the demon that humans become?

Some time ago, the Holy See did launch a holy war against the evil wizard in Tianqian Canyon! Although the Pope did not contact that guy in person, Osborne had it! After the holy war, Osborne stayed with him almost every day, so it was normal for him to get a trace of the evil wizard's aura...

No wonder the people I recalled just now were not abnormal, it turned out to be indirect contact.

The Pope grabbed the old book and flipped it quickly. He soon saw a familiar name in the second half of the book:

In the 320th year of the Kingdom of Carl, an extremely powerful evil wizard emerged. His name is Murphy Aldridge!

The pope stared at the name and whispered like a dream: "Murphy Aldridge?...It seems we have to meet again... But where will you be now..."
