Chapter 472 Sigrid's Acting Skills
During the brief silence, the nobles and ministers were talking to each other in a complicated manner.
In the outer circle of seats at the top of the hall, the nobles' eyes would occasionally look towards the Great Sage Isis, and then quickly glance at several other important figures of the Church of Resurrection in the center of the hall, looking for clues to infer.
Among them, the nobles in the south seemed to have more serious expressions, while the nobles in the north and east looked slightly curious and alert.
The ministers sat on the inner side, closer to the center, and their reactions were more direct.
Many ministers had frowned brows, their thoughts disturbed by the sudden incident. They talked to each other in low voices, trying to analyze the situation.
Amid the ever-changing gazes and expressions, a few powerful people are the focus of everyone's attention.
Tyrannical Catholic Sigrid remained calm, with a fierce look in her eyes as she judged Asksan.
Bishop Asksan of Annihilation also turned back into the cruelest and most dangerous cardinal at this moment. It seemed that he would use his power at the pinnacle of the eighth level at any time to let everyone witness the soul-stirring power of the original stone seal.
Duke Morotian Berenhard seemed even more serious, sitting on the upper left side of the conference room, his calm eyes seeming to assess the impact of this sudden incident.
Although the Great Sage Isis may not trust him as the second most powerful man in the empire, he is happy to serve if his help is needed.
None of these important figures expressed their opinions, causing the light and shadows in Franklin Hall to seem to become sluggish and dim.
"Sigrid, we may be able to decide the fate of one person today. There is no need to embarrass Lady Isis. If this continues, I am afraid that this battle that you have finally mustered up the courage to accept will end in vain for various reasons."
Asksan smiled grimly, breaking the too-long silence in Franklin Hall. "You are not waiting for the great sage Isis to come and help you out, are you?"
Asksan asked, staring at Sigrid.
Seeing Sigrid accept the challenge just now, Asksan was roughly certain that perhaps Sigrid had other ways - even if she was sealed and locked, she still had the means to temporarily display the strength of the eighth level and deceive the Protoss Empire.
After all, a month ago, he was injured no worse than Sigrid, and even now, he has not recovered to his full condition.
A few summons can be placed on others to trigger the summoning on their behalf.
There are no restrictions on the users of magic devices and magic scrolls. The only disadvantages are that the magic devices are not portable and the magic scrolls are disposable consumables.
God knows whether it is possible to lend out that damn wolf. It is obviously just a fourth-level card, but it has the terrifying characteristic of becoming stronger when facing a stronger opponent.
Moreover, the wolf had an aura similar to Sigrid's, which made him extremely disgusted. Just seeing Sigrid again would remind Asksan of the endless whiteness that suddenly erupted on the northern snowfields.
Of course, it is also possible that Sigrid wanted to take advantage of Isis's current considerations, gamble everything, and wait for Isis to realize the difficulty of this duel.
But Asksan would never give Sigrid this chance.
“…”
At this moment, everyone in the Congress understood what Jiemie Asksan meant by "don't worry".
The cardinals of the Church of the Resurrection already have a way of distinguishing between superiors and subordinates, and between life and death.
The Death Arena is a barrier unfolding as a Bishop's Testimony. No other helpers can be brought in, nor can it be interrupted.
Its opening requires the consent of both parties, and its termination also requires the consent of both parties.
Otherwise, once it starts, the Death Arena will not end until one side dies.
And this kind of official internal fight to the death of the Resurrection Church does not require the Protoss Empire to preside over the duel or judge the result. The two cardinals can just start the fight! Mourning Bishop Amiles was about to say something, but stopped talking.
In principle, the Pope does not allow cardinals to engage in a deathmatch.
But she wasn't the one being punished.
Once the Death Arena is opened, the loser will die today, and the winner will one day be liquidated by the returning Pope.
"Sigrid, why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty again?"
Asksan's eyes were fixed on Sigrid, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"In the Protoss Empire, everything will be decided by the Great Sage Isis."
Sigrid responded calmly.
“…”
The great sage Isis was still looking at the two cardinals, thinking.
Although this is the simplest and most direct plan, and the most beneficial to the Protoss Empire, human life is short and precious. She doesn't know if it is a bit cruel to decide between life and death.
Looking at Sigrid waiting for the opinion of the great sage Isis, Asksan couldn't help but sneer.
"Sigrid, every time I fought you, you wanted to fight me to the death. But this time, you don't dare to accept a life-and-death duel between bishops?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Asksan turned to Isis and saluted. "Great Sage Isis, winning or losing is irrelevant. This is an internal matter of our Resurrection Church. The Protoss Empire does not need to bear any responsibility for it. Moreover, you do not need to intervene in matters beyond maintaining the rules. It is your duty and you should not take the risk of hosting a war for us that may endanger the people of the Protoss Empire."
Then he just waited for Sigrid to make a statement.
"As the guardian of the Protoss Empire, I will not interfere as long as you do not endanger the people of the Protoss Empire."
Isis finally said after a brief thought.
As the maintainer of the rules, she should not continue to interfere in the internal affairs of the Resurrection Church.
“…”
In response, Sigrid was slow to respond and kept her head down.
Now, she had to make a final decision.
The faint smile on Asksan's face became more relaxed.
The southern nobles who had originally considered voting for the Catholic Church looked at each other and began to waver.
Because the reaction of the Tyrant Catholic Sigrid today was indeed too abnormal.
After Asksan's continuous tests, it can be seen from various details that Sigrid has some shortcomings!
This makes what Asksan said more and more true.
If the Tyrant Catholic Sigrid had not lost her military power, the Tyrant Catholics, who were forced into such a predicament and lost the bishop election, would have found it really difficult to fight against the powerful Asksan. Given their grudges, they would have to fight to the death sooner or later, so it might be better for them to have a decisive battle now.
If Sigrid really lost her military power and lost to Asksan in the bishop election, she would be doomed.
The only way to survive is to fight now and have a final fight with Asksan.
