"Which one are you talking about? I've heard a lot of news recently. I never thought that the big shot above would be such a wretch."
"Haha, everyone is like that, but he was recently exposed. I think there are probably quite a few bishops who behave like this."
Although these rumors contained many details, they were mostly from the past. The people involved and the events were lost in time, making it difficult for Sibis to defend himself. The general public didn't care whether the stories were true or not; they only cared whether they were interesting.
————
The Palace of Ten Swords, the inner palace of flowing water.
Sibis was still sitting on the bench by the pool, eating sweet and crisp berries and listening to the people below reporting the latest rumors.
"Haha, that's really interesting." There was no anger on his fat and white face, but rather a hint of mockery.
"If Odysseus launched an armed raid and captured me first and then tried me, I would be a little worried. But now, they want to bring me down with just these things. It's really interesting."
It's like a knight who is good at using a lance suddenly changes his career and wants to use words to make people collapse and surrender. He abandons his strengths and uses his weaknesses to fight against an experienced opponent.
Sibis summoned two attendants, whispered his instructions in their ears, and then let them leave the palace.
A few days later, rumors and rumours about Sibiss multiplied, becoming increasingly bizarre. Initially, they allege he was having affairs with both men and women, then later, they allege he coerced a queen into giving her child in place of the prince. Later, rumors even circulated that his Sequence 8 transcendental strength was fake, impersonating it with some transcendental artifact.
Recently, there was another incident, saying that he deliberately drove his fellow pastors who had entered the Lanye Palace to a remote church in the mountains, where they had to struggle to survive for decades. It was a pity that the genius of that year was still stuck at Sequence 3.
At the same time, more and more people began to shout, demanding that the judge thoroughly investigate Sibis, suspend him from his post, detain him, and deprive him of all his rights.
At this time, more people began to shout and march in the holy mountain, and their scale was even larger than before.
Inside the Aquarius Palace, a bedroom bathed in the setting sun.
The golden afterglow fell on the white sheets, covering half of the body of a silver-haired girl.
Loran Hill was sitting at the head of the bed, spreading out the clothes he had just brought in from outside, then slowly folding them and placing them neatly at the head of the bed.

After a while, the door suddenly opened.
"Luo Xier."
Boli ran in excitedly. She grabbed the silver-haired girl's hand and said excitedly, "Don't fold the clothes yet. Let's go out and take a look. Something big is going to happen in the Holy Mountain today."
"What's wrong?" Although Loran Hill answered, she still folded the nun's uniform in her hand before standing up.
"Something big has happened. Many people are holding torches and heading towards the Ten Swords Palace. They are said to be seeking justice and overthrowing the evil Archbishop Sibis."
As she spoke, she pulled the girl out and walked towards the mountain path.
The sky gradually darkened. The sun had already set, and only the bluish-purple sunset was still faintly visible on the horizon.
The mountain path below the Aquarius Palace was crowded with people. They were noisy and excited. Many people held torches to illuminate the surroundings, and then slowly moved forward with the flow of people. It looked like there were at least several thousand people.
"Remove Sibis from his position!"
“He doesn’t deserve it!”
“Villain!”
"The scum of the church!"
Some of them looked angry and shouted loudly, while others followed behind with excitement and curiosity, ready to see how the matter would end.
"Let's follow them." Boli is a typical person who doesn't mind the height of the stage when watching a show.
"Don't get too close, we'll just watch from a distance." Loran Hill shook her head. She felt that things were not going to be simple tonight.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Chief."
"You only remembered now that I'm the head of the academy." Loran Hill touched Boli's head with some annoyance. This junior girl seemed to be much more lively recently.
After talking with Boli for a few words, she turned her gaze to the distance again, which was the direction of the Ten Swords Palace. It was dark there at this time, just like usual.

The crowd on the mountain road was like a fire dragon, swimming slowly forward in the night, and it was getting thicker and longer.
During the period when the Pope was not elected, the Church seemed to be leaderless, and people from all sides became bolder. With their intentional or unintentional promotion, more and more people became involved in this incident.
Hearing the noise outside, bishops from all over the country who were attending the election meeting also came out of their residences and looked down at the long dragon of fire that stretched from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
"Do you want to go down and take a look, sir?" An accompanying priest asked the elderly bishop in front of him.
"Let's go and see how Sibisi explains it." After saying this, the bishop, who was nearly 70 years old, also set foot on the path among the mountains with the support of the pastor.
Outside the Hymn Palace, several priests in white robes were also looking at the lights in the distance.
"This time it's incredible." said a woman with light red hair like the sunset.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." Another blonde woman responded, holding a scepter with a pattern of feathers and musical notes.
"You don't have to be embarrassed, Elise. We will definitely not laugh at you for this." The woman with red hair said so, and then she giggled.
"Among the sisters we were together back then, you now have the highest position and transcendent level. I'm still only Sequence 7."
"Zhu Ya is asking for a beating again. How are we, the Sequence 6 ones, supposed to survive?" Several women nearby also joined in the commotion.
Although they are not young anymore, these women once studied together in the Holy Mountain and have always had a good relationship. They get together here every two years. This time, it just happens to coincide with the papal election, and Iles is now the staff priest of the Hymn Palace.
