I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 166: The Church's Corner? Dig

Wyatt's disdainful attitude gave Noddy a bad feeling.

He felt that Wyatt had no interest in the position of Pope, and it seemed that he really returned to the papacy just to complete his official duties.

To be honest, Noddy really wants Wyatt to try to run for Pope because he really has a chance.

As candidates for the Pope, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter generally face three tests.

The first is one’s personal attainment in divine arts.

Noddy also knew how advanced Wyatt's divine arts were. He was fully qualified to be the cardinal of the church. He was excellent in divine theory, exorcism, and ritual arrangement.

Ordinary people might have heard it from hearsay, but to Noddy, who had been rooted on the front lines, Wyatt was so powerful.

The most famous battle when Wyatt was still in the military was when he faced the troops led by the apostles of the evil god when he had no way to retreat.

He made preparations without sleep for three days, and finally blocked the attack of the enemy apostles and held out until the arrival of reinforcements, with an alarmingly low casualty rate.

Wyatt did this by relying on his miraculous magic.

So in Noddy's opinion, Wyatt's attainments in divine arts are definitely ahead of all the saints.

The second test is influence.

If it were before, Wyatt would definitely be the weakest among all the saints, but now it is different.

He has received the blessing of the goddess and his influence is not low. At least at the moment, he is definitely the most discussed person besides the Pope.

Now is the critical period for the Pope to abdicate, which can be said to be a blessing from God.

As for the third political achievement, Wyatt is indeed weak, but Noddy is confident that he can make up for it.

Therefore, as long as Wyatt can make up for his political achievements and gain more love from believers, he will definitely become the next Pope.

In fact, the other saints are definitely feeling uneasy right now, Nodi thinks so.

It’s a pity that Wyatt himself has no such intention.

"I have no interest in the papacy."

"Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Why do you think I need the Pope? Is there anything good about him besides him?"

"Becoming the Pope means gaining the greatest recognition from the Goddess. Being favored by the Goddess is the ultimate dream of all believers!"

"The Pope can be recognized by the Goddess, haha." Wyatt couldn't help laughing, "What you said is really interesting, does it mean that if I don't become the Pope, I can't be favored by the Goddess?"

"That's not what I meant, it's just that under the current circumstances, running for pope is the best opportunity."

As an ostensible follower of the goddess and a "holy" priest, Wyatt felt that he needed to fulfill his obligations occasionally.

He's talking dirty like a charlatan.

Wyatt looked at Noddy, and this time his aura changed.

The lazy and shabby attitude before now became somewhat clean and dust-free.

Noddy's heart moved, and he knew that Wyatt was suitable to be Pope.

It's a pity that Wyatt wanted him to give up that idea.

"Nodi, 'The goddess's gaze will fall equally on every believer, and everyone is equally watched by the goddess.'"

"Of course, I remember the opening words of the Immaculate Canon very clearly. It's just that the Pope can receive more attention from the Goddess. This is a fact, and it is also true for all believers..."

"Do you think that one becomes pope only when one is looked at more, or one becomes pope only when one is looked at more."

"This……"

Noddy hesitated, which was exactly what Wyatt wanted.

Compared to dealing with those two troublesome guys, "Holiness" and "Pleasure", it is easier to fool this big guy whose mind is full of loyalty, swords and goddesses.

Advising me to become the Pope is truly treasonous. "There is only one Pope, but there are more than one person who is favored by the Goddess. If you take the position of Pope with utilitarian purposes, then the entire church will lose the attention of the Goddess."

"...You are right, but I don't believe you will lead to such consequences."

"Thank you for your expectation, but what I want to say is that the reason why the Pope is favored by the goddess is because he shoulders the lives of all believers."

Wyatt had his eyes drooped and looked a little tired. He looked like an old man in his twilight years. Noddy was a little surprised when he saw him.

"During these few years in the Kingdom, I gradually realized my own shortcomings, especially after becoming the director of the Fourth Institute."

"It takes too much energy to guide the lost and fallen."

This is not a lie, but Wyatt omitted the subject, and it is Helen who is consuming the energy.

“The pressure of revitalizing the four schools keeps me awake at night.”

From a subjective perspective, Wyatt never felt that he had a real night's sleep since he was dragged into Gustav's dream.

"Even though the four schools have been steadily improving, I am still worried."

Yes, the swimming pool isn’t built yet, so we can’t let our guard down!
In short, Wyatt is gradually convincing Noddy that he has exhausted all his energy just to manage a fallen asylum, and that a behemoth like the Church is completely a fantasy.

Wyatt wanted his followers to live a happier life, so he was willing to sacrifice the throne that was within his grasp and give it to someone who was truly capable.

As for himself, he will spend the rest of his life looking for other opportunities to win the goddess' favor.

Noddy felt that Wyatt was much taller at this moment.

Indeed, a true believer should not have such a narrow vision.

"What's more, I can't let go of the fallen people in the institute. I hope they can live in a brighter world."

Sooner or later, we will build an open-air swimming pool. The bright sunshine and healthy bodies are exciting just to think about.

This is the truly bright world!

Noddy plopped down on one knee, head bowed, offering his utmost loyalty to Wyatt.

"Your Majesty, I am narrow-minded." There was a hint of guilt in Nodi's words. "Now that I think about it, it must be the good intention of the first Pope Steinbeck to recognize the Son of Saint and the Holy Daughter by granting them the command of the Holy Knights. He hopes that the Son of Saint and the Holy Daughter can have a broader path."

"I'm glad you figured it out."

Very good, I like people like you who can lower their own intelligence. It’s so easy to fool you.

"Your Majesty! Please believe in the loyalty of the Fourth Holy Knights to you. We are willing to follow you to the Goddess's kingdom. Please let us assist you in governing the Fourth Fallen Shelter!"

There were also unexpected gains, which was nice.

Wyatt closed the book and he would issue the first task next.

This was also the first mission received by the Fourth Holy Knights after joining the four institutes.

"There are some things I hope you can send someone to help me prepare."

"Please give me your orders."

"Help me collect some spiritual materials. I will give you a list later. Thank you for your help."

"understand!"

Wyatt nodded in approval. If they could get the assistance of the Paladins, then the collection of materials could definitely be completed quickly.

Wyatt stroked the book in his arms. This was not something that existed in reality. It was a symbol of Wyatt as an "omniscient" apostle.

A book that records all the "omniscient" divine arts. Wyatt is currently studying an "omniscient" ritual.

Maybe it could be said to be magic. Anyway, if it succeeds, it will be a great joy for Wyatt.

However, it would be quite embarrassing for the Theocracy.
