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 had a cold smile on his face, breaking the too-long silence in Franklin Hall.
"You who said nothing, are you waiting for the great sage Isis to come and rescue 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 opportunity.
"..."
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.
As for this kind of formal internal fight to the death within the Church of the Resurrection, there is no need for the Protoss Empire to preside over the duel or adjudicate the outcome; the two cardinals can just start the fight!
The mourning bishop Amiles was about to say something, but stopped himself.
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?"
Asksan turned and bowed to Isis.
"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 other than 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 spoke 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.
Chapter 473 Lanqi is motionless
Isis's decision caused a wave of protest in the parliament hall, which gradually faded away.
Asksan's provocation and Sigrid's attitude of avoiding war had already planted doubts in everyone's mind.
Now Sigrid was in a state of distress and was being pushed step by step into a dead end.
The archpriests of the Tyrant branch were anxious, but they knew that acting rashly at this time would only cause trouble for the bishop.
Asksan was also paying attention to the seats in the meeting hall. At this juncture, he was waiting to see whether the Holy Son of Tyrant would take the initiative to jump out and rescue Sigrid.
In the past, Asksan never believed that there would be any changes in the situation under his control.
Only this woman, Sigrid, always appears everywhere like a ghost.
Now there is one more guy who impressed Asksan.
Correspondingly, Asksan was also prepared to lure out the Holy Son of Tyrant and kill him.
As long as the Holy Son of Tyrant dares to show up... his death will be immediate.
Ten long seconds passed and no one in the parliament hall spoke.
At the bottom right side of the chamber, Lanqi sat in his seat, staring at the center of Congress below, motionless.
Today, the opponent of the Catholic Sigrid is the Bishop of Annihilation Asksan.
And Rocky McCarthy, as the patriot who is closest to the truth on the side of the Protoss Empire, his opponent is hidden deeper.
In the Helrom Congress Hall, Lanci and Sigrid have their own opponents.
He and Sigrid will fight on their own today, paying no attention to or even looking at each other, but if they are truly each other's best partners, then victory will inevitably meet in the same place.
The cat boss was trembling in the shadow, begging Lanqi to go and help Sigrid.
It didn't know what Lanci was waiting for, or who he was waiting for, but it knew that Sigrid must not agree to Asksun now. The sealed Sigrid obviously couldn't beat Asksun in a fair one-on-one duel.
If Sigrid dies in battle today, it will all be over!
It doesn't want Sigrid to die, and it also wants to cook for Sigrid!
Boss Cat's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
however.
After the conference hall was silent for too long.
"Asksan, have you really thought it through? Don't run away this time. Fight me one-on-one."
Sigrid asked, her head lowered, the back of her hands trembling slightly, and she tried to keep her voice calm.
Her words caused the meeting hall to become noisy again, and people's eyes shifted back and forth between the two bishops.
"Hehe, do you need to confirm this again...Aren't you trembling with excitement instead of fear?"
Asksan asked, looking at Sigrid.
Maybe this cunning woman has some other tricks up her sleeve.
But it was precisely because he knew Sigrid so well, and knew all these possibilities, that he was sure of many things.
"Then let's decide life or death today, Asksan."
Sigrid's eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
"I never dreamed that one day you would ask me to fight you to the death. It's just what I want. I'm tired of chasing after you, a cunning villain!"
Sigrid finally raised her head, and her words echoed in the council hall like thunder.
This sudden decision shocked every dignitary present.
The arrogance of the Catholic Church is not only a response to the Bishop of Silence, but also a proof of her strength and murderous intention as a cardinal to the nobles and ministers of the entire Protoss Empire.
Sigrid tossed the crown lightly with her fingertips, and the orange light of the Silver Moon Crown drew a crescent moon, as if to turn all the enemies into pieces. Finally, the holy seal [Bishop's Certificate - Tyrant] was firmly grasped in her hand.
The nobles and ministers once again stared at Sigrid and Asksan, knowing that a thrilling life-and-death battle between the bishops was about to take place.
This was not only a battle between two bishops, but it could also be an important turning point in the history of the Proteus Empire.
More importantly, most people will never be able to witness a ritual like the fatal battle of the Cardinal of the Church of Resurrection once in their lifetime.
And now, the entire Protoss Empire will witness this life-and-death battle between the eighth-level strongest men taking place on the Capitol Building in the center of Helrom!
"very good."
