Sully knew that what people could not understand was the Pope's motives.

Why did he do this?

What is the reason for doing this?

What is the goal to be achieved by doing this in the future?

These three questions can explain everything.

Theocracy means that the Pope will completely trample on human rights. Is Ophelia's character inherited or influenced by the environment?

Suli subjectively believes that perhaps it is both.

If the Pope does not have a deeper ambition, then as the Pope of the Holy See of Light, even if he faces King Amicbee directly, there is no possibility that the king will stand above him.

Checks and balances are often the best way to achieve peace between powers.

The Pope wants to break this only because...

There is only one person who can ascend to the highest throne.

What he wants is not to be on an equal footing with others, but to be truly unique.

Considering the age of the Pope, he is now in his 70s, but 20 years ago he was already in his 50s, which was older than the previous cardinals.

At this age, how can I achieve my best?

Almost impossible.

The average age of humans in this world is not much different from that of modern society. To start from scratch at the age of 50 and reach a position that no one has ever achieved in history, the mere existence of such a desire is terrifying, not to mention that the Pope actually took action.

If his goal is really to become the most powerful person in the world, then is Xia Zuo really just brainwashed by Ophelia?

If the Pope used this reason to brainwash Xia Zuo and ordered Xia Zuo to put Ophelia at the center, then now, everything Ophelia did to belittle Xia Zuo will not be targeted by him and is also valid.

Let’s go back to the third question Sully asked Ophelia.

Since Ophelia left Licheng and there were other reasons that Sully could not learn from existing channels, it meant that this huge net, only a corner of which was exposed in the open, must have entrapped areas or forces that Sully had not yet paid attention to.

The Pope will not take action against the king, otherwise when Xia Zuo's strength reaches its current level, the king will no longer have any chance of survival.

This can be proven by the current situation of Euphia's father.

On the other hand, why didn't the Pope take direct action against the king?

Judging from the fact that Ophelia wanted to be king but didn't intend to dirty her hands, it is very likely that the Pope did not want to have such a stain of framing others when he ascended the throne.

Who can directly change the current structure of the royal family in the current inner city?

I'm afraid the only thing left is the Dark Church represented by Lan Zhe.

"Even if Xia Zuo was brainwashed, it would happen. As long as the people of the Church of Light see the owner of the dark element, they must kill him. As long as a dark element owner is secretly hidden and hunted down after brainwashing, the actions of some people in the Church of Darkness can be easily guided."

The others had been confused by the previous speculation, but now they understood it.

After the gazes were focused on Lan Zhe, Lan Zhe said unhappily, "No matter how I think about it, the controlled dark elementalist can't be me. Where did you put Nan and her husband? If I were that person, I would curse myself to die without a complete body!"

Suli: "... Not really. Is it possible that everyone is looking at you because they want to know if you know who that person is?"

Lan Zhe immediately said: "...Ahem."

Sulifu said: "It seems that he doesn't know."

"Then listen to my speculation."

"I think the most likely person who guided the Dark Church was the Dark Saint."

"Recall why Lan Zhe was hunted for so long? The timeline from his escape to the siege and death of Nan'an's husband is really too long. For the Holy See of Light, does it really take that long to kill a child?"

Besides, Lan Zhe's parents wanted him to die...

Do children who are not expected by their parents really have the confidence to live towards death?

Perhaps the Vatican was planning to force Lan Zhe to the Monster Forest.

Because in the city, this plan is still likely to be discovered. But if it is carried out in the Monster Forest, the monsters, who are not friendly to humans, will only choose to spare humans like the miraculous Nan's husband.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Lan Zhe survived.

However, Suli also had a strong desire to survive, and added: "Of course I'm not saying that Lan Zhe doesn't have the ability to resist, but what if the undercover plan happened to be activated at that time?"

"Is it possible for Lan Zhe to become the person who guides the actions of others in the Dark Church?"

“The answer is yes.”

Not only is it possible, it's incredibly likely.

Lan Zhe's affinity for dark elements is too high.

Once such a person is dragged into the Dark Church, even if those eccentric Dark Elementalists find out that there might be something wrong with Lan Zhe, most of them will just think that a Dark Elementalist will sooner or later follow his own nature and be controlled by others, which is absolutely impossible.

And the fact is, not only did Lan Zhe not become an undercover plan member, but he was also thinking about dealing with the Holy See of Light all day long.

On the other hand, what can the people of the Holy See of Light see from Lan Zhe, a born rebel?

——An absolute dark elemental talent who cannot be controlled.

Then the Dark Saint, who currently has a low presence but holds a certain amount of power, becomes a possibility.

"So the most likely things to happen next are - the king dies or is injured by the Dark Church, Xia Zuo becomes famous during the attack on Sadina City and reveals his true identity. When people in the inner city question why there is such a prince but his identity has not been revealed, the reason will become very simple, because the king who can no longer reign does not want the person who is truly qualified to inherit this country to be taken away by the Church."

"There are many reasons why Xia Zuo is the heir to the throne. One is that Ophelia's talent is definitely not comparable to Xia Zuo's. Another point is that if we assume that something bad will happen to the king, then even if Xia Zuo is older, how can the things done by a person who can no longer sit on the throne be linked to the child?"

"So the Vatican cannot drag the royal family into the relationship because of the marriage. This will be a point that the Amicbee officials will definitely stick to. Otherwise, they will have to let the seemingly overbearing Ophelia take the throne. After all, they are still in Sardina City."

"Of course, all of this is probably within the Pope's calculations."

"When all the Amiqbe ministers believe that Xia Zuo is the new king recognized by all of them, everything will develop step by step as the Pope planned."

Sully smiled bitterly, clenching his finger joints until the pink faded, leaving only white.

"Not long ago, I even thought that I could use my control over Ophelia's information to delay her attack on this city."

But now looking back, everything has become complicated.

When Sully's smile revealed a hint of bitterness, Egbert immediately explained: "Lord Sully, there is no need to be sad. If it weren't for your information, the only thing people who wanted to come to the city could do was to fight to the death, instead of having other possibilities like now."

Euphia also echoed: "That's right."

"At least from my perspective, it is impossible to infer that level from the existing information."

"To be honest, I'm still curious about how you can think of so much." Yufia was referring to the kind of information prediction that she herself didn't know how to describe.

From Sully's point of view, apart from Egbert, who gradually seems to be able to keep up with the pace in the growth process, the only other enemy left is Ophelia.

The former still has a lot of room for growth, while the latter, who can catch up, is only the part that Sully looks down upon.

Now it can be said that everything Ophelia could think of was just the most basic information speculated by Sully.

Although for Euphia, or for everyone present, although they have been accustomed to relying on Suli's speculation in terms of intelligence and following Suli's guidance, when the growth changes are not big in a short period of time, Euphia will feel guilty as long as she pays a little attention to Suli's age and height.

——Isn’t this really oppressing the children?

If you can't pressure your children, you can only force yourself to grow up.

Faced with this question, Suli paused and tried to describe it in the simplest terms possible.

"There is a kind of memory called a memory palace, and if you want to sort out intelligence and its derivative information in the brain, you usually need a memory maze."

Suli can simulate the development of reality in his brain based on existing information.

"Different people in different places, with different habits and personalities, will have different ways of acting. And their ways of acting will happen to be linked to the people nearby, so individuals form organizations, and the conflicts and changes between organizations will cause changes in the existing world structure... All of this will be simulated accordingly in the memory maze."

"And the reason why I was able to so decisively connect the existing seemingly completely unrelated information and provide a final summary is that..." Su Li tapped his temple with his hand, "My brain has already given several simulations before this."

"For example, if Ophelia's father is not the Pope, then who else could it be?"

"After I have thought through all the possibilities, I will tell you the most likely one."

As a result, most of the possible scenarios that were determined in the end came true. Ophelia even revealed one: people in the inner city spread the news that there was a "prophet" in the city of Sardina.

But this is not some miraculous prophecy. It is the inevitability of gradually building up a tall building from the foundation.

Different from the physical building materials, the information derived from intelligence advancement will be simulated in Suli's brain.

And this is not a difficult task for Suli.

So he said, "It's like on a rainy day, when you know you're going to go out today, you're thinking backwards in your mind about what you would do if you went out today."

The author has something to say:

Let's play a comment game.

If it rains today and you have to go out, what will you do?

Me: Because there is no vegetables at home, I will go to the vegetable market, but the lack of vegetables does not mean that I will definitely be hungry tomorrow, so I may also go to the place I go most often, that is, to my grandmother's house for a meal.

Logically, there are two possible final answers.

The vegetable market and eating for free.

The differences between the likelihood ratios are regional.

That is, I am in the south, so there is a possibility that I can buy some vegetables tomorrow and cook them.

Therefore, I am more likely to choose to eat for free.

When the possibility of a higher probability exists, the speculation that proves this point will become a fact will become, it is a rainy day, the vegetable market is definitely closer to my grandmother's house, so I choose to eat together. will be improved again.

This possibility, before it becomes a fact, is always between 0 and 1. However, this probability is based on individual behavioral inertia, so the probability is definitely not always 50%.

When one possibility overwhelmingly prevails over another, then this possibility can be measured first as a practical matter.

[ps: And this is Suli's basic intelligence thinking ability. The difference is that the author only thinks about the individual, while Suli thinks from the countless points in the maze as a whole]

【pps: Jinjiang comments are divided into ±2 and 0 points. Needless to say, -1-2 is a big stimulus to the author. 0 is mostly a second comment from someone who has already commented. +1 or +2 is a normal well-intentioned comment. Extra points are added to the comment, which is more than 25 words. The previous forum also said more than 15 words. I don’t know much about this rule. I don’t watch the channels dedicated to contracted authors. Except for occasionally watching the author forum, most of the time when I have questions, I directly contact the editor.

Long review (usually more than 1,000 words)

+2 long review

+2 and obviously a long review discussing the plot

Author: Spiraling up, so happy that I fly, smiling from ear to ear.jpg

But the length of the comment is based on the reader's personal choice. I don't know what the total number of comments in the comment area is refreshed, but as long as I check it every once in a while and see that it increases from time to time, I will be very happy.
