I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 270 The mastermind behind the scenes

"But I have something important to tell you. It concerns the safety of our main city. Just for a moment. Come with me." Phil Gray said in a tough tone.

"Okay." The leader of the undead felt that the Saint of Milu had an irresistible aura of a superior. He had only felt that aura from the archbishop before. He turned around and said to his knights, "Wait for me here for a moment."

"Yes."

Phil Gray led the Undead Leader around a corner and into another alley. He could no longer see his men. He smiled and pointed to the sky: "Do you know what's over there?"

The leader of the undead was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Take a good look at it and feel it with your heart." Phil Gray said solemnly and meaningfully.

The leader of the undead raised his head and looked at the sky, which was as dark as usual. There seemed to be nothing unusual.

Was he not referring to the sky? Was he referring to something unusual? Was he referring to a god who lived in the sky?

The undead leader stared at the sky, his thoughts becoming more and more clear. Suddenly, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Phil Gray rubbed his hands, and he used the power of death and exerted seven levels of strength to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

There was no reason for knocking this guy out. The main reason was that he suspected that this team leader was connected with the mastermind behind their assassination, so he wanted to use the "Eye of Destiny" to see if he could see the true face of the mastermind.

However, if he used the "Eye of Destiny" in front of the Undead leader, it would inevitably expose the fact that he possessed the powers of other gods. If he knocked the opponent out, he could hide well.

He looked at the undead leader lying on the ground, concentrated the power of destiny in his eyes, and a mighty river of destiny appeared.

It should have been yesterday or tonight when Phil Gray turned the pointer of fate forward and real scenes reappeared before his eyes.

"It's really him."

After confirming his guess, he withdrew his divine power and dragged the unconscious undead leader lying on the ground back to his men.

The undead knights were whispering just now, but when they saw him dragging their leader's body over, they instantly fell silent.

Then they couldn't help but say:

"Has the team leader headed to the abyss before us?"

"This is not good, Your Highness. Killing each other is forbidden within the church. We understand your good intentions, but if you do this, we must report it to the Archbishop."

Phil Gray threw the leader of the undead to the ground: "Don't worry, people who betray their faith for money and power are not worthy of setting foot in the territory of the abyss."

……

The night passed exceptionally quickly, and it was almost dawn when Phil Gray returned to the mansion. After a simple wash, he walked into the living room and asked the servants to bring up some breakfast.

He turned around to see a sleepy-eyed Eli walking towards him.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

"Well, I gained a lot. I learned about a scandal involving Bishop Marshall and the identity of the mastermind who sent out the giant zombie." Phil Gray sank into the soft sofa and began to narrate what he saw and heard that night.

On the way, Yi Laizhe also came to the living room and listened to his story attentively.

In fact, Phil Gray had not let down his guard against this new partner, so he concealed the process of using the "Eye of Destiny" and only talked about the experience of seeing the leader of the undead using some special method.

"So, the one who attacked us was Bishop Rodney?" Eli yawned. "I didn't expect it to be him. I thought Marshall was more suspicious."

"He sent people to assassinate us while framing Marshall, so that he became the biggest beneficiary. Maybe he also used some tricks on the Saint's side." Phil Gray said slowly.

"In fact, based on everyone's motivations, Rodney is more likely. Rodney's skill in summoning the undead is not stable, and he is afraid that he will score too low in the second round and lose the chance to become Pope, so he simply dealt with us. Without competitors, he naturally doesn't have to worry about scores. Although Marshall scored last in the first round, he is very confident in summoning the undead in this round, so he will not make a move for the time being." Yi Laizhe analyzed reasonably.

Eli blinked, "No, that's not right. According to what you said, I have the greatest motivation. My score in this round is not as good as Rodney's!"

"So I suspect he just wanted to assassinate the boss, and you were just implicated. Oh, no, it's very likely that you are the one he framed. After all, you have a big motive."

"Okay, this bastard, none of his schemes succeeded. I'd really like to see his face today." Eli raised the corner of his mouth, looking like he wanted to watch the fun.

"I don't know if he looks good or not, but I'm afraid Bishop Marshall is not feeling well." Phil Gray was almost certain that the bishop must be in a state of panic right now, but he would not sympathize with such an irresponsible hypocrite who killed people at will.

"Suddenly I feel that the princesses of our Weir all have a bad ending." Eli sighed.

Phil Gray nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Yi Laizhe, do you know where the cemetery of the Church of the Dead is?"

After he summoned the demoted undead spirit today, he had to take it to the cemetery of the Church of the Dead as agreed.

Yi Laizhe looked at him curiously: "Boss, what are you doing there?"

Eli slammed the table, "As a younger brother, my first rule is to not ask questions that you shouldn't ask! Also, you don't need to ask him, I know it too."

"Okay, okay, it's like this, I need to meet some requirements of the undead to summon them, so where are they?" Phil Gray explained simply.

"The church's cemetery is in Silent Valley, which is considered a subdivision of the main city, but it is outside the city and is a relatively deep valley." Yi Laizhe said, "If you want to go to the cemetery, you must bring the archbishop's warrant or the approval of the bishop of Silent Valley."

"So troublesome?"

"Yes, many of our Death Followers have the ability to use corpses to make items. You should know this. Therefore, in order to protect the remains of the deceased, no one can be allowed to enter the cemetery at will."

"Okay, then I'll ask the archbishop for a warrant today," Phil Gray suddenly had another idea, "Do you know who the bishop of Silent Valley is?"

Yi Laizhe thought for a moment and said, "It seems his name is Gustav. He is a rather dull and honest man, born in a commoner family. He has been the bishop of the region for many years. However, his strength does not seem to be very good, and his skills are also very useless. He is at the bottom of the divine revelation level, and he has been ostracized by many people before."

After getting the name right, Phil Gray asked again, "Does he have brown hair, a little red in the cheeks, and a slightly hunched back?"

Yi Laizhe hummed, "Do you know him?"

Phil Gray smiled but said nothing. He never expected that the bishop of Silent Valley was the undercover agent of the Cult of Destiny in the Church of the Dead that Dominic mentioned.

This is easy now, and there is no need to ask the archbishop for instructions.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know him. I know him anyway. Besides, I know all the clergy in this church very well. Just ask me directly if you need information about anyone." Yi Laizhe said proudly.

"Hmm? Why do you know so much?"

"Only by gaining more information can we defraud them of their money... Oh, no, we should have friendly transactions with them."

"hehe."

"Did you guys make any noise here last night?" Phil Gray asked even though they didn't bring it up.

"No. I guess they think that sending a god-level zombie won't be able to deal with us, so they want to give up?" Eli shook his head. They almost woke up after a short nap to check what was going on, but it was indeed Christmas Eve and nothing happened.

"it is good."

……

"Boom-"

Clear bells rang out, believers waited eagerly, members selected by the Council of Elders sat in their seats one by one, and the six holy sons gathered again in the Cathedral of Death.

Great Elder Sid's face was a little gloomy. He glanced at the six saints in front of him, and his anger grew stronger and stronger, because he found that not only Yi Laizhe was still listless today, but the other saints also had dark circles under their eyes, yawning softly from time to time, and looked listless.

"Tell me, what did you do last night?"

The archbishop blew his mustache and said meaningfully: "Last night was wonderful!"
