Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 259 Paladin 23

Ling Yi's original plan was to temporarily accumulate power, wait for the Pope to die a natural death, seize the Pope's power, become the new Pope, and then make the Papacy great again.

But now that the steps of a normal death for the pope have been eliminated, everything is much simpler.

They gathered a force, killed the Pope, and then killed those in the Papacy who disagreed with them.

Unlike state governance, the Vatican, as a purely religious organization, would not affect ordinary people even if it were to completely collapse.

At most, some priests might leave, and a second papacy might be created, but that won't affect her plans at all!

If you want to win over believers, you need to give them benefits, do good deeds to gain their trust, and continuously strengthen your own power!

Thinking about it this way, wouldn't the Papacy be even more powerful?

This is a roundabout way to save the Vatican!

If she can reunify the entire Papacy before her death and avoid countless deaths and injuries in a second holy war, then she will be the greatest pope!

Ling Yi quickly devised a plan.

As the chief paladin, Ling Yi controls the paladin order within the Papacy due to her absolute loyalty to the Pope.

This is something the cardinals of the Vatican cannot touch; it is absolutely the Pope's private domain.

Of course, this is also a force that Ling Yi can strive for.

If you've controlled the Knights for over a decade and still don't have a few trusted confidants, wouldn't that be a huge failure as a person?

The day after making her decision, Ling Yi appeared in the Knights and held a cordial and friendly meeting with her subordinates.

The conversation was not recorded in the Vatican's historical records, but those who witnessed it know that the knights emerged from the dark room with unsteady steps and expressions of terror on their faces.

However, within a few days, a mysterious atmosphere filled the Knights, and the sanctuary that belonged exclusively to the Pope was repeatedly tested.

Now, Dulles no longer needs to speculate about Ling Yi's loyalty.

The treacherous officials have already revealed themselves; guessing any further would be disrespectful to one's own intelligence!

Without hesitation, the pope, who had controlled the Papacy for decades, launched a punitive attack on his chief paladin.

As night deepened, Ling Yi, dressed in plate armor, sat in the courtyard, wiping the greatsword in her hand with a linen cloth.

The aura of light emanating from the greatsword flowed gently wherever her hand touched, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Suddenly, the sound of clashing armor rang out from outside the courtyard.

In no time, the small courtyard was surrounded by knights. Her neighbors had been asked to leave before tonight's operation, leaving her alone to face her death.

"Knock knock knock." A gentle knock sounded on the door, and the knight's stern voice rang out from outside: "Althorpe Norma, His Holiness the Pope wishes to see you. Please come with me immediately."

After saying that, without waiting for Ling Yi's reply, he pushed open the courtyard gate and barged in.

"You rude fellow!" Sereos, who was admiring the moon in the tree, flicked his tail in annoyance. He hated anyone invading his and Yi Yi's space.

Otherwise, let's just kill them.

"Celeos." A gentle voice rang out from under the tree. Celeoos's tail vanished instantly, and it transformed back into a beautiful human, leaping down from the tree.

"Is Yi calling me?" Ling Yi smiled slightly at the expectant look on her face.

These past two days, she's been so engrossed in usurping the throne that she's neglected the succubus who loves to cuddle with her, leaving him quite disappointed.

Ignoring the knights who tried to escort her, she extended her hand to Sereos: "Would you like to come with me to see a play?"

"Okay, okay!" Sereos's voice was incredibly cheerful, as if he was going to be interrogated rather than to watch the show.

"you!"

The knight who came here saw an extra person in the courtyard, and his eyes flashed with anger: "Elsop, the Church does not allow outsiders to enter. You have violated the rules of the Church."

“If outsiders can’t come, then family members can, right?” Ling Yi shook Sereos’s hand and said with a smile, “If the bishop’s son can move freely in the Vatican, why can’t my lover come in?”

The knight was speechless for a long time before finally managing to utter, "You did not marry under the watchful eyes of God."

god?

Ling Yi was amused by his words. If there were a god, he would have already killed those two decaying souls.

Upon learning of the existence of demons in this world, Ling Yi actually considered the possibility that gods might exist.

But seeing how pathetic the so-called messengers of God looked, and with no sign that God would strike them dead with lightning, she began to doubt that the so-called God did not exist at all, or that he had existed but had long since died.

"God is long dead, what can he possibly see?"

She was skeptical, while Sereos was simply outspoken.

As a long-lived species, the Demon Realm, though warlike and lacking human history books, possesses a wealth of knowledge passed down orally and inherited through mental traditions.

After Sereos came of age, he received news of the war of the gods, such as that all the gods had died long ago, and that the demons were formed from the blood of the dark god.

He might not bother to talk about such trivial things all the time, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know whether it's good or bad.

Besides, even if the God of Light were still alive, what right would he have to witness the marriage of the descendant of the God of Darkness and enforce the law across boundaries?

"Outrageous!" Blasphemy against God within the Vatican is something no believer in the Light can tolerate, okay?

After Sereos finished speaking, hundreds of greatswords were pointed at him, and the leading knight even shouted curses.

The instant he uttered the words, he flew towards the horizon like a shooting star.

Sereos muttered, "I've disliked you for a long time."

What kind of class do they have that they dare to wear the same clothes as him?

The new chief paladin died suddenly because of two words!

Ling Yi looked at the other knights who were caught in a dilemma and sighed: "Let's go, let's go see His Majesty the Pope."

She walked forward step by step, with the knights following closely as if facing a formidable enemy. Only when they reached the open door of the sanctuary did Ling Yi turn around and gesture with her hand: "That's enough for now, stop here."

The knights, who had been under her command for over a decade, actually stopped in their tracks upon hearing this. By the time they realized they were about to escort someone, Ling Yi had already led Sereos into the sanctuary.

At this moment, the sanctuary was filled with talented people.

Whether they were bishops, knights, or humans and immortals who came to discuss how to resist the demons, they were all gathered here by the Pope to witness a failed coup.

He wanted to use the death of the chief paladin to quell the restlessness within the Papacy caused by the demon invasion, and also to demonstrate the Papacy's power to other visitors.

"You've come." He sat on the magnificent high chair belonging to the Pope, wearing a crown that was said to be a gift from the God of Light, and holding a magnificent scepter in his hand.

Ling Yi glanced at him only once before looking at the huge, luminous object above her head.

Having become powerful enough and possessing a keen sense of perception, she also noticed the anomaly here.
