[The main task has been updated one]

[Main task 1 in the name of the Holy: Kill Pope Adrian (completed); Leo won the support of more than one-third of the thirteen archbishops and became Pope (6/10)

In front of Charles, a task reminder flashed past.

...how come the maximum value is three less? He was slightly taken aback, then slightly closed his eyes. His spirit body escaped from the body in an instant, sneaked under the curtain, and appeared in Saint-Denis, beside Leo.

He saw the three bishops who were poisoned, saw the bishops in a panic, and saw Leo angrily scolding a strong bishop with a disturbed expression. Seeing the eyes of others gradually becoming unkind to the strong bishop. He nodded repeatedly to Leo's words. Obviously, when Leo poisoned the three of them, he also diverted the water to the east and destroyed another opponent. And found someone who can take the blame for himself. And in the case of three people who died. The demand for nine people has become seven people, and the difficulty of reaching two-thirds of the votes has also dropped sharply. Absolutely, this is also possible! Charles couldn't help laughing, and greeted Leo under Leo's surprised gaze. Then calmly retracted his spirit body.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Noticing that Charles' soul suddenly ran back and forth, Yastaru asked curiously.

"It's okay," Charles shook his head, and said with a casual smile, "this Leo is really a talent." Charles only once told him the poison of flowers and wine—to be exact, it was when he reborn in front of Leo. the coming day. Because Leo's name was so green that it was about to turn blue, Charles simply told him, "If you have any questions, you can answer them right here at this time." Regardless of the identity of Charles's last two reincarnations. And the real cause of death of Pepin III and Prince Carloman. As long as Leo puts it up. Charles knows everything about him. In fact, Charles would very much like Leo to ask some more advanced questions...

For example, what is the nature of psionic energy. For example, where do gods and demons come from. For example, what are the stars in the sky, and what is the earth under my feet... It's just a pity. Leo has never asked these questions that Charles expected in his heart.

Of the dozens of questions he asked, only three satisfied Charles: one was "why the wounded get sick". The first is "whether immortal people will exist" and "what is there in the sky". The third question made Charles very pleased.

I deeply understand that in an era, there must always be some people looking up and thinking about the starry sky, and this generation has hope. Charles was happy to tell him a small part of the knowledge-the mystery of Leo's acceptance level. Charles also didn't expect that the meeting would have such a great impact on Leo: a person who always evades, really has the motivation and enthusiasm to survive and even change the world. His Leo's psychic power can only make people lose their guard against him, unlike Baal and Baimon, who can directly penetrate people's hearts and even manipulate other people's wills. For Leo, it was almost impossible to get the support of nine of the thirteen archbishops. Because Leo also told Charles about the internal situation of the Holy See that day—the conservatives who supported staying in Gothic, and the progressives who supported Adriaan Shi faced each other. At first, Leo was only a balance ball because of luck Introduced into the archbishop system.

But it is still very difficult for Leo to win the position of pope through words—even a task that is almost impossible to complete without using extraordinary power. Because the leaders of the two factions, Bishop Donglaji and Bishop Aucheny will inevitably choose themselves to become the Pope and need at least nine votes. With only ten people left to vote, try to convince nine of them to vote for Leo himself. It doesn't seem to be particularly difficult. But in practice this is almost impossible. Everyone has desires—if they find out that Bishop Pelaghi, Bishop Aucheny, and Bishop John don't have any support. Then they may even come up with the idea of ​​​​"Why don't I choose to give it a try.

So the situation, which was not clear at all, would only progressively sink into the quagmire. Charles had even arranged for Apollo to go to Saint-Denis in advance. If Leo needs to assassinate a competitor, he can even choose to shoot, burn, or kill himself—Apollo is an excellent archer and charioteer besides. He is also a captivating artist. Unlike Baimeng, who has a single ability, Apollo possesses the three domains of "light", string and "art". With the blessing of the artistic domain, he can not only control the bow and string, but also control the piano. An ordinary person with psychic abilities, Apollo can even use a piece of music to make Pelaghi strangle himself alive. However, when Leo prayed to him, he refused to let Apollo directly forcibly kill Bishop Pelaghi. Instead, he boldly asked Charles for a copy of "Flowers and Wine". , use "accidental" means to forcibly complete this main line, and get the great man he wanted "Roger But compared with seeking stability, Charles wants to see the possibility of human beings—and what ordinary people's wisdom can do. to what extent.

It is impossible for him to watch over humans for the rest of his life. It is even more impossible to feed people all kinds of wisdom and inventions like feeding babies forever. Self-growth. His perception today may seem naive tomorrow; the knowledge he has learned today may be overthrown by himself tomorrow. He himself is not sure that his words must be correct, so how can he guide others arrogantly? So unlike Solomon, Charles became silent. Except for some specific people. He's no longer proud to show other people the intelligence he possesses... as clearly as a middle school student showing how difficult middle school math can be. Charles can clearly feel it. Now he is the King of Frank and he was when he just became Solomon, and he has made an extraordinary improvement—whether in terms of knowledge or means, he now hopes to use the method of "guiding" rather than "teaching" to let Humans thrive on making as few mistakes as possible. He was willing to give Leo a chance—even if it might cause him some trouble. Fortunately, Leo did not live up to Charles' expectations.

Although there is still one last person who is willing to vote for Leo... all the competitors will die, and the blame will be blamed. Leo is already in sight of victory.

"Maybe he should be called Pope Leo in advance. Charles thought of this. He couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't expect it, although in terms of the result, it seems that there is no difference from letting Apollo directly kill a few people; But if Leo did something that made the other archbishops dissatisfied, it would be one less reason and excuse.

From this point of view, my perspective seems to be a little out of touch with the masses.

Charles can't help but be reflective, too.

He never thought that he would do stupid things—not only because he had confidence in his own wisdom, but also because he believed in his daemons, and believed that they would dissuade and spur him on when he was inflated. But other people are different. They know little and have no close friends of Zhijun who can stop their decision-making. So they actually make mistakes and get confused. However, Charles also subconsciously ignored this possibility for them. Maybe. This is why Gaza took away the lands of Israel and Egypt after his death, and Tiberius changed the three equal kingdoms into Rome as the main body after his own death.

What I want them to do is not exactly the same as what they want themselves to do. A melon does not necessarily reap melons, and sowing beans does not necessarily reap beans. The human heart is an inescapable link.

It was a valuable lesson, but luckily he realized it before the real numbness happened. Charles smiled happily.

It's nice to be alive and learn something new again.
