"Let's not talk about this for now. Has Benjamin been found?!"
Smith, who was standing not far from Aped, suddenly spoke up, a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. "As long as we find that thing, Leon will collapse without a fight. It will have no ability to compete with us for power."
They knew exactly how Benjamin escaped capture and even stole the treasure, and they even knew the hidden secrets better than Benjamin himself.
What Benjamin took away was the Scepter of Eternal Night, which represented the supreme power of the Church of Eternal Night.
This 'Scepter of Eternal Night' was made by melting three divine scepters bestowed by the great Lord of Eternal Night. It was then sent to the world of Eternal Night by someone else. It was created by His Excellency the Angel and many legends who worked together for several years to create this brand new scepter.
This scepter is the symbol of the highest authority of the Church of Eternal Night on Earth, and only the archbishop is qualified to possess this scepter.
The user of this scepter will be blessed with super powerful abilities. With the blessing of the scepter, the archbishop's ability within the scope of the Church of Eternal Night is even no less than that of the gods from other worlds and the angels of the church!
However, this scepter has great limitations. It can only be most effective in areas covered by the faith of the Church of Eternal Night, and must be a sincere believer of the Lord of Eternal Night, otherwise it will not be able to mobilize any power at all.
After the death of Emperor Kabarron, Pope of the Eternal Night World, George, Smith, Aped and other bishops quickly put pressure on Lyon, intending to use sanctions to temporarily remove Lyon from power and select a new archbishop.
After all, Lyon had been the archbishop for more than 20 years but had not made any outstanding contributions, so it was only natural to dismiss him.
Feeling the crisis, Leon made a prompt decision. While Benjamin was on the run, he deliberately let Benjamin go and handed the scepter to Benjamin, letting him take it away.
Internally, Leon lied that the scepter was stolen by Benjamin and that Benjamin must be captured before the next trial could proceed. Therefore, he was still the archbishop and could still exercise the archbishop's power.
Even though most of the bishops knew the inside story clearly, they had no evidence to prove it and could only catch Benjamin and deal with him together.
"I have to say, our Archbishop of Lyon did something stupid."
Aped glanced at Smith, the former university professor, and smiled as he spoke, "What the hell is he thinking? He's colluding with Benjamin just to become the Archbishop for a while? If we catch Benjamin and expose his involvement to the public, then, let alone the Archbishop, he might not even be able to become an ordinary member of the church. Excommunication would be the best outcome."
To be honest, they didn't understand what Lyon was doing.
Although Leon seems to be mentally retarded in dealing with the church, he is capable in other aspects, at least far superior to ordinary people.
But this move makes people confused and they don’t know what he is doing.
Doesn't he know what problems will arise if he does this?
Doesn't he know that if we catch Benjamin, his own future will be bleak and his life will be a complete failure?
"He must have known what the consequences of doing this would be."
Smith adjusted his glasses and whispered, "There must be some secret we don't know about this. This secret is probably unspeakable, otherwise he wouldn't take such a big risk."
"To be honest, it's true."
Aped nodded, agreeing with him immensely, and said, "We must not only reclaim the Scepter of Eternal Night, but also learn the secrets hidden within it!"
They must know this secret, otherwise it would be embarrassing for Leon to rely on this secret to make a comeback.
"You know, I'm not often in Hawaii. Keep an eye on these guys and don't let them get away. I'm going to continue searching for Benjamin."
After a moment's silence, Aped breathed a sigh of relief and said to Smith, "We must find out the truth about Deep Sea World No. 3. This is the foundation of our turnaround!"
Smith gave Aped a look that reassured him: "Don't worry, I saved it."
Seeing this, Aped nodded in relief and walked towards the elevator, ready to leave this underwater prison in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Smith kept staring at Aped until Aped disappeared from his sight.
Looking at Aped's leaving figure, Smith raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a mocking expression.
It is true that he is cooperating with Aped now, but there is only one position of Archbishop, and with Lyon's downfall imminent, there will be a competition between him and Aped.
By then, I will have mastered the information of Deep Sea World No. 3 and will definitely be able to obtain assistance from the Eternal Night World.
"Ipad is definitely aware of this, but why is he still tolerating these things from me? What on earth is he trying to do?"
Smith pushed his glasses up and thought to himself, "Tsk, what is Apple doing again? It's really too complicated."
Smith couldn't understand what either Lyon or Aped were doing.
He even found it difficult to understand George, the simple and rough night watchman.
Smith exhaled a foul breath, a mottled light flashing across his cloudy eyes. He murmured dejectedly, "This position of archbishop is truly difficult."
Among the four main competitors, Leon, George, Aped and myself, I have the lowest support rate and am the least hopeful one.
However, Smith did not intend to give up just like that. Before the last moment, who could know whether he could turn the tide?
