I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 162 The Holy Son and Holy Daughter are all in my shape

Charles' words made Priest Simon feel as if he was falling into an icy cave. For a moment, he felt that the whole world was deceiving him, as if this situation could only happen in a dream.

Why on earth was Wyatt not judged unclean by the goddess?

Why on earth did the goddess not only not send down the oracle of innocence, but also bestowed a blessing for the first time in history?

Why on earth did the contamination, as a backup plan, which should have been foolproof, not only fail in the end, but what he did was also discovered by Charles.

Too many questions lingered in Priest Simon's mind. He turned his neck stiffly and looked at Wyatt.

At this moment he looked refreshed and relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Was he relieved because he was found not guilty?
No, come to think of it, he never seemed to worry about the judgment of the goddess.

So what's with his expression at this moment?

Priest Simon really couldn't figure it out. He just felt that he and Wyatt were not on the same channel, and the distance between them was much greater than the physical distance at the moment.

Everyone's eyes turned from Wyatt to Priest Simon. Priest Simon had thought that so much attention would only appear when he was promoted to cardinal in the future, but now that it had come ahead of schedule, he could not be happy at all.

Yes, because I am the one who is most likely to fall now.

An explanation must be given quickly.

Priest Simon took a deep breath and realized that he should prove himself. Only then did his thoughts become clear.

The cross star pendant that serves as a carrier of pollution was made by Arthur. He handed it to me personally last night and said that he would only feel at ease if I were the one to do it.

He also promised that when he succeeded the pope, he would be his first cardinal.

Loyalty and power, under the dual influence, Father Simon did this stupid thing.

Only now did he realize that the reason why he was so confident that this back-up plan would not be exposed was because of his absolute trust in Arthur.

Arthur's current divine skills are enough to serve as a cardinal. Even among the current cardinals, some are slightly inferior to him, especially in the field of ceremony preparation.

This is true, and that is why Father Simon is confident that his handiwork will not be discovered.

But what if Arthur just picked up a pendant at random? Or what if he made an additional design on the pendant, which allowed him to choose whether to "expose" or "not expose" as he wished?

Priest Simon realized that he had been deceived by Arthur. How loyal he had been before, how angry he was now.

"Your Excellency! It's this pendant. The pollution is contained in this pendant! Arthur gave it to me. He asked me to frame Wyatt!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

"Doesn't Priest Simon say every day that he is always loyal to His Majesty Arthur? Why is he suddenly..."

"It is disrespectful for humans to interfere with the goddess's decision, not to mention that it is polluting, which is definitely a sin of depravity. When death is imminent, he will just bite people randomly."

"This is ridiculous. Like a mad dog, it actually bit its own owner."

Priest Simon suddenly realized that Arthur's behavior was truly vicious.

In front of the Son of God who is most likely to inherit the throne of Pope, a small priest like me is too insignificant.

No one will believe your accusations.

So I became a scapegoat, a white glove.

And now it has come to the point where I am abandoned.

The accused Arthur stood up voluntarily. He looked up at the two cardinals, then took a step back with his left foot and knelt on one knee.

"I am very sorry, my Lords. It is my fault that I did not notice the corruption of my colleague."

"Your Majesty Arthur, this is not your fault. There is no need to blame yourself."

"No, I still have a responsibility that I cannot shirk." Arthur showed a regretful expression, "I am very optimistic about Simon, and I always think he can achieve greater success, but I did not give him the right guidance. I am very ashamed."

"Your Majesty Arthur..."

"So please allow me to do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed across Father Simon's neck.

It was the leader of the Paladins who brought Wyatt here.

It was a clean and sharp cut, but there was no head flying off or blood splattering. Priest Simon turned into white smoke and completely disappeared.

Absolute purity is required before the statue of the goddess.

Arthur, who was kneeling on one knee, slowly stood up. He turned sideways and looked at Wyatt with a sincere tone.

"I am very sorry, Your Majesty Wyatt, that my companion has caused you trouble."

"…It's okay, just be careful next time."

Wyatt enjoyed watching this farce. He never expected to see such an exciting plot.

It's really surprising that the little guy who used to pretend to be mature has become so bad now.

He is obviously the one who has the least contact with me among this generation of saints and saints, but why is he so similar to me?

It was so interesting that Wyatt couldn't help rubbing his hands together.

I will stay in the Church for a while, hoping to establish a good relationship with my younger brother.

Suddenly I understood the meaning of "enjoyment".

The farce was over. As Wyatt was a man blessed by the goddess, naturally no one would dare to openly question whether he was fallen.

Helen anxiously went to meet Wyatt, and after seeing that he was safe and sound, she finally felt relieved.

The next group to arrive were Ruburt and others.

"I didn't expect the goddess would bless me. Although I knew that Brother Wyatt would be fine, I didn't expect such an unexpected result."

"So, what is the blessing the goddess gave you?"

Luvia's question was a good one, and it reminded Wyatt, so he quickly began to check his blessings.

【Eternal Purity】

[Effect: Immune to all pollution below one's own level, and 40% resistance to pollution above one's own level]

[The goddess will always protect you and prevent those filthy things from infecting your body and mind]

[Special note: The effect is doubled, and the resistance effect is changed to elimination]

Oh no, the evil god chastity belt has been put on, and "Joy" is about to cry.

"Eternal Purity. The number of people who have received this blessing can be counted on one hand."

"Yes, the current Pope is one of them, and now there is Brother Wyatt, plus the deceased Saint. I didn't expect that there would be three people in this era who could receive such an honor."

"Okay, let's not stand here and talk. If we continue, the Paladins won't be able to stop the fanatical crowd."

Not only Arthur, but Luvia's Paladins also arrived today. At the moment, they were trying to stop the believers who wanted to establish a relationship with Wyatt, but it seemed a bit difficult.

Wyatt thought it was time to move. He always felt like he would hear some strange noises in front of the statue.

"Why don't we go to the guesthouse where brother Wyatt is staying now?"

"What are you going to do with me?"

"We haven't had the chance to catch up before, so this is a rare opportunity. Besides, I also plan to find a time to tell you about the future arrangements of the Church so that you can prepare in advance."

"What arrangements, why should I prepare for them?"

"Not only the representatives of the Knowledge Tower who are already here, but also the two parties who have not yet arrived are very interested in you. Remember that you hate trouble, so it is better to prepare early."

"Yes, we need to prepare early... No, how did they know that I came to the Church?!"

"To be honest, the reason why the Theocracy was able to invite everyone was because the Pope gave up his throne. As for the other part..."

Good fellow, you are using me to trick others into supporting you, and the key point is that you invited me at the last minute.

This generation of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters is worthy of being brought up by me!

Taking it back, maybe Arthur isn't the one who's most like me.
