Hilbert said silently, then glanced at the people in front of him and found that the other cardinals, including Amanda, were silent for a moment.

Hilbert's words seemed simple, but they contained an exception. The preparations for the Great Holy War required the Holy War Court to be the leader, the Kishi Court to be the assistant, and all other courts to cooperate. This meant that during the preparations for the Great Holy War, the Holy War Court had an extraordinary status and its power expanded. If the Holy War Court was to be the leader and cooperate with the preparations for the Holy War Court, then other courts would have to give up some of their power in some matters. This kind of concession was difficult to accept at the Cardinals' Conference, where the power struggle was becoming increasingly fierce, so the cardinals suddenly fell silent for a while.

"What the Holy War Head said is correct. The Great Holy War is a big event, and even the preparations for it involve a wide range of issues. Without the order from the Holy See, this kind of decision cannot be made by our two courts alone. There is no precedent for privately conducting preparations for the Great Holy War. If the preparations for the Great Holy War are not as good as the Holy See wishes, and he blames us after his return..."

On the other side, Alberto followed Hilbert's words and said, "The Great Crusade means the total war of the Radiant Church, and the preparation for the Great Crusade also means the total preparation of the Radiant Church. This level of major decision has never been made by the Council of Cardinals in the absence of the Pope. In the absence of precedent, no one can guarantee that the Pope will view this move in this way after returning. Is it a proper handling? Or an act of usurpation? No one present dared to bet on the Pope's attitude.

Are they willing to give up power during the war? Do they dare to bet on the attitude of the Pope after his return? These two questions lingered in the minds of all the cardinals present, and no one said a word.

Looking at the silent scene in front of her, Amanda finally spoke. After taking a slight breath, she spoke in a low voice.

"The Court of Salvation is willing to fully support the war preparations of the Court of Holy War and the Court of Governance..." Amanda's words shocked the cardinals present, and then they all turned their eyes to her. Her words just now basically showed that she was willing to cooperate with Hilbert in the preparations for the Great Holy War, and she was even willing to give up the power of her department.

"In addition, I was the one who proposed the Great Holy War preparations today, and I was also the one who exaggerated the threats of sinners and evil gods to you all. Everyone present here only made a decision based on my intelligence. If the Holy See is dissatisfied with this decision after returning, I am willing to personally apologize to the Holy See and bear all the main responsibilities."

Amanda said this proactively. After she finished speaking, everyone's attention was focused on her again. After looking at Amanda, Hilbert spoke in silence.

"Jie Eshu, you need to think clearly."

"I have thought it through very clearly. I know what I am doing. I am willing to draw up a record of today's meeting in the form of a contract to clarify the responsibilities of this decision-making so that it can be reviewed after the Holy See returns." Amanda said silently. She knew that at this time, if she wanted this group of people to recognize her decision, she must take the initiative to take responsibility and be the first to express her willingness to cooperate.

Of course, not long after Amanda finished her statement, one of the cardinals at the scene spoke again, and Atchelli, who had been silent the previous moment, spoke up.

"I support this as well. The Ton Supervisory Court will fully cooperate with the Holy War Court in preparing for the Great Holy War."

Seeing Atcheri's statement, Amanda breathed a sigh of relief and nodded silently. At this time, Marco also said in a hoarse voice.

"I have seen your determination to save Eshu, and I also appreciate your preparations now to prevent any future events. Xiujie Court will do its best to cooperate..."

"Since everyone has said so, I have nothing more to say. The Kishibana will do its best..." Sitting on the chair, Alberto answered affirmatively after seeing the statements of his colleagues in front of him.

After Alberto finished his response, all eyes turned to Krama. Krama couldn't help but frown when he saw these eyes, but after realizing that he shouldn't refuse anything now, he softened his tone and said yes.

"Okay, okay, let's take a gamble here with the Salvation Center. This war preparation can be managed. It is in line with the wishes of the Holy See. The Inquisition will support it."

After seeing the statements of the five cardinals present, Hilbert couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and then he spoke.

"In this case, the Holy War Court will certainly go all out. More than 400 people of the Holy Church have never been mobilized for war. This is a huge task. Please help as much as you can..."

After Hilbert finished speaking, several cardinals discussed the details of the Great Holy War preparations, and finally ended this topic and moved on to the next one.

"The many unusual movements of the Afterbirth Cult this time and the reactivation of the Cup Mother are worrying. If I remember correctly, the Wolf Blood Society once tried to seize a ton of scriptures from the Holy Chant Cathedral in Tivian during the war, and even sent out and killed a Red-level Terror Devouring Wolf. Fortunately, Sister Vanya and the Putt officials worked hard to save the ton of scriptures.

"It has been a while since the teleportation came to Shenglin Mountain for deciphering. Has anything been accomplished?" Sitting in her seat, Amanda said in a low voice. Since the teleportation was worth the Afterbirth Cult's disregard for the outcome and the effort it took to get it, there must be something important and special in it that was worth the Afterbirth Cult taking a huge risk to get it back. If they could know the content inside, perhaps they could find some answers to the mystery of the Cup Mother's reactivation.

As soon as Amanda finished speaking, Atcherie on the other side responded immediately.

"Not long ago, I asked the court about this matter, and the response I got was that it has not been completely deciphered yet. This legend called "The True Red Madonna" is extremely difficult to decipher. It is written in many languages, including ancient Pleistocene, ancient Faroese, ancient Iviglian, ancient Austronesian, and ancient Empire. These languages ​​are not only difficult to understand, but also intertwined and superimposed with each other, using various techniques to hide the true content. It is not possible to understand it just by reading all the above Western languages.

"This "True Red Madonna" is extremely difficult to decipher and contains a high level of poison. Even if all the scholars in the Scripture Court work in shifts to decipher it, they can only make a small progress every day. So far, the main content has not been deciphered.

"At present, we only know that the True Red Madonna fabricated records of the early belief in the Madonna, and contains many bloody methods that only cults use to worship the Madonna. This is an absolutely corrupt and evil book." Atchelli said in silence. Listening to her words, Amanda couldn't help but frowned slightly, and Hilbert on the other side continued to ask questions.

"So have you found out where this evil scripture came from?"

Hilbert asked this question. Since he could not completely decipher the content of "The True Red Madonna" for the time being, he should find out where it came from and then get the answer from its source.

The legend of "The True Red Virgin" is extremely despised by the Afterbirth Cult, but the Church of the Immortals does not pay much attention to it, and only includes it in the legend library as an ordinary legend. This is very strange. How did the Church of Putt get this legend? If we can explore this question clearly, we can also explain the mystery of the legend to a certain extent.

"As for the origin of this 'True Red Madonna', I have already sent people to Puget to trace the source, and now we have achieved some success." In response to Hilbert's words, Atcherie spoke slowly.

"According to the investigation in the Tivian Church area, it can be determined that this "True Red Madonna" originated from the artifacts obtained by the History and Scripture Department of the Putt Diocese when clearing out the apocryphal scriptures in the Tivian Extraordinary Market. This is a product that the Putt Diocese bought back from the Tivian Artisan Guild." Atcheri said that the Radiant Churches in various places have collected the heretical apocryphal scriptures scattered in their respective Extraordinary Markets, identified them, and sealed them. This "True Red Madonna" is one of the artifacts of the Putt Church.

"From the Artisans Guild? In other words, other Beyonders sold these to Tivian's Artisans Guild?"

After listening to Atchley's words, Amanda continued to speak curiously, and Atchley nodded in response.

"Yes, according to the operation mode of the Artisan Guild, the situation is like this. Due to the consistent position of the Artisan Guild, my people did not directly try to get customer information from them, but directly started to find the former owner of the True Red Madonna from the secret circle of Tivian. Because of this kind of sale of extraordinary items, the sellers generally do not sell the items directly to the Artisan Guild, but try to sell them in the extraordinary circle where they are at a higher price. If the sale fails, they will choose to sell it to the local Artisan Guild at a low return price. Therefore, it is generally easy to find clues in the trading circles of these idle secret practitioners.

"We have been investigating Tivian's secret circles for several months through various means, but we have not found anyone who has any information about the Red Madonna. At this time, we realized that the goods in the multiple bases set up by the Artisans Guild in each country are mobile. The goods collected from smaller places and lower-level bases often flow to higher-level bases. Lower-level bases will transport more valuable extraordinary items collected in the wild to higher-level bases.

"Therefore, I sent more people to Putt and asked them to spread out to other counties and cities in Putt that had donation points from the White Stonemason Union, and look for clues about the True Red Madonna in the lower-level secret circles of these counties and cities. After spending several more months, we finally succeeded."

"Is it successful? Where?" Amanda asked curiously after listening to Atchley's words, and Atchley answered immediately.

"It was in Igwent, the capital of Igwen County, southwest of Put. When we were in contact with the secret circle there, we found that there was a wealthy businessman named Richard Ess in the local secret circle. He often participated in the secret circle training in Igwent and is now trying to become an apprentice of the 'Cup'.

"According to the information provided by this Richard, his description of what we call the Red Madonna has some clues. Three years ago, there was an extraordinary gathering in Igwynte, hosted by a man who called himself 'Gray Hill'. He often attended the gatherings held in Gray Hill and bought and sold secret-related items there, code-named 'Shepherd Dogs'.

"At a meeting, Richard remembered that there was a person codenamed 'Wolf Trace' who showed an ancient book that was almost identical to the description in 'True Red Madonna', claiming that it was a book with mysterious and powerful knowledge, but that it required sufficient wisdom to analyze it in order to obtain the secrets inside. Richard did not buy it because he could not understand the ancient book at all and 'Wolf Trace' offered a very high price. In the end, the book fell into the hands of 'Grey Hill', the host of the meeting.

"Later, we asked the local police station of the Security Bureau in Igwinter, a secret police agency in Putt, to assist in the investigation and figured out the identity of the 'Gray Hill'. He was the person in charge of the base sent by the Artisan Guild to Igwinter. He hosted secret gatherings to look for valuable secret-related items. The Red Madonna should have been bought by him and sent to the Artisan Guild in Tivian."

In the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, as the Cardinal of the Court of Appeal, Atchelli continued to tell the other cardinals in detail about the discovery of the small border town of Putt, but Amanda asked after listening to the other party's previous words.

"So, the person codenamed 'Wolf Trace' in the secret gathering is the former owner of the True Red Madonna?"

"Yes, my people continued to look through the files at the Igwinter Security Bureau, investigating the identity of the so-called 'Wolf Trace'. Later, they found out that his name was Buck Stoll. He was originally an investor in Igwinter, and later joined a small cult called the 'Red Holy Communion', with the 'Cup' as its main theme, and became a 'Cup' apprentice.

"This small society existed in Igwen County for many years and fought with the local Security Bureau several times. It was finally destroyed nearly two years ago. This Buck was a senior member of the Red Holy Communion, second only to the leader, a black earth beast named Luer.

"According to the Igwinter Security Bureau, this Luer controlled the famous local nobles in Igwinter by disguising himself as a butler, and established the Red Holy Communion. Buck was his subordinate, and it seems that he had given him many secret items. Considering that Buck's family did not mention any secrets in the subsequent investigation, the True Red Madonna should have been given to Buck by this Luer as a reward. Later, Buck may have sold it because he could not understand it. The source of the True Red Madonna should be Luer."

"So, who is this Luer?" At this time, Hilbert asked curiously, and this time Atliche shook her head in response.

"It's still unclear at the moment. All we know is that it was a local noble controlled by Luer who brought him back after another trip. Other than that, we have no idea of ​​his past."

"So where is the Luer man now?"

"Dead. Died in a series of bizarre events nearly two months ago. Died during his own promotion ceremony. And it wasn't done by the local security bureau."

"Who did that?"

Hearing this, Atliche paused for a moment, then spoke with a changed tone.

"A mysterious organization that calls itself the Rosicrucian Church."
