- The late night in Rentat is not much different from that in other cities. Except for the eternal light that can be seen in the cathedral and the aristocratic settlement, the rest of the place is "illuminated" by the silver moon or stars. Therefore, in this dark night where you can't even see your fingers, , Rentat was particularly gloomy and calm, except for the occasional flicker of a lantern.
"Dark Blue Gift" Sharp stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of his bedroom, looking intently at the darkness outside. There was nothing worth admiring about the darkness, as if it was the most important meaning of his life.
He raised his right hand and stroked the tumor-like bump on the bridge of his nose. His bright blue eyes were filled with a little anxiety. Others may not know that Alfonso, the giant of the Inquisition, had led his people to leave to hunt down the "Destroyer." "Tower" magician, but as the deputy leader of the "Sword of Truth" Knights, a duke, a great noble, one of the king's most trusted subordinates, and a ninth-level golden knight, he has enough channels to know this fact, so he Waiting for the results.
¡°Dong, dong, dong,¡± the sound of fast running footsteps came, mixed with the clang of iron boots hitting the ground and armor plates colliding.
"Lord Captain" The knight who came to tip off the news gasped. It took him less than a minute to rush to Lord Sharp's villa from nearby. "'Heart of Time' returned with serious injuries. Alfonso All the clergy and night watchmen he brought with him are dead!"
"Heart of Time?" Sharp rarely could not control his expression, and he didn't understand how it could be related to Ketonia.
"This is news from inside the Glorious Cathedral. The specific situation is unknown." The knight said hurriedly, "Master Captain, Ketonia accused you of colluding with the magician to assassinate Alfonso. He could not be rescued, so he could only save his life. His own life, he wants you to die!"
The royal family bought some bishops within the Holm diocese who were not very powerful and in an inconspicuous position, but could obtain and pass on some information at critical moments.
"Alfonso became suspicious, or someone betrayed the action plan to Ketonia, but since he intervened, why did Alfonso die, and why was he seriously injured" Sharp seemed to be at a loss. In such a state, he forgot that he was in danger, and he couldn't figure out what was going on even if he tried hard.
Bang Dang! The knight who reported the news suddenly knelt down on one knee, and the armor of his knees hit the floor hard. He said with a slight cry: "Master, please run away quickly. The church will definitely not let you go. They need someone who failed in their actions." 'Sacrifice', they will send you to the stake! As long as you hide until His Majesty the King comes back, you will be innocent!"
"If I escape, it will be equivalent to admitting the crime. I don't believe that the church can convict a duke of death without evidence and only the magician's nonsense. That will make all nobles fear and chill. ." After Sharp was silent for a while, he suppressed his doubts, uneasiness and worries, and said to the knights under his command with the leadership temperament as usual.
The operation failed and a magician was arrested and betrayed himself. This was a situation he had expected. He was fully prepared and believed that with the protection of His Majesty the King, nothing would happen to him. The only thing that allowed him What is a bit disturbing is that the accusation comes from another Duke, the epic knight Ctonia, and the weight is much heavier than expected!
Bang, the floor-to-ceiling window made a slight noise, and a ball of fire flew from a distance, penetrated directly, and turned into a fierce man with a short head.
"Captain, run away! A cardinal wants to arrest you!" He is Sharp's deputy, a seventh-level heavenly knight, "Demon Burning Flame" Gu Jufu.
Sharp clenched his right hand quietly, his tone still calm: "Don't worry, this is a routine arrest and interrogation. They have no evidence. I will be fine. If I run away now, it will never be clear."
"Sir, we can't believe the church. In the past, they have directly tried and executed many nobles who were just suspected!" "Demon Burning Flame" Gu Jufu admired the deputy leader for remaining calm and composed at such a critical moment, but This couldn't calm his anxiety. Maybe Franz, the "Angel of Divine Grace", would come over in person soon!
Sharp shook his head and quietly held the handle of the sword tightly with his left hand: "Those are nobles below the earl. I am a duke personally conferred by His Majesty the King."
"Sir" Gu Jufu wanted to drag the deputy leader and run away, but Sharp's firm attitude made him hesitate, "How about you hide in the Nexor Palace first, I believe the church will not dare to break in by force, and then Awaiting the return of His Majesty the King."
"Well." Sharp was a little moved.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and a young man with sparse but erect hair appeared in the bedroom. There were streaks of silvery electric light around him, and his eye color and skin color were unusually silver: "Captain My lord, the Glorious Cathedral has decided not to arrest you, but to send aThe Cardinal comes secretly to comfort you. "
He is Sharp¡¯s other deputy, ¡°Silver Punishment¡± Cesk.
"What?" The ones who made surprised sounds were "Demon Burning Flame" Gu Jufu and the knight who came first.
"The situation has changed?" As the leader, Sharp was also very shocked inside, but on the surface he still tried to pretend to be calm and calm.
"Pure Silver Punishment" Cesk shrugged: "I don't know, the core information has yet to be found out. Maybe they decided to respect the nobles"
There was a strong sarcasm in his words.
Not long after, a cardinal arrived and conveyed to Sharp the condolences of His Excellency Franz, the "Angel of Divine Grace", and told him that the evil magician "Lord Death" had set a trap and seriously injured Lord Ctonia. He killed Alfonso and other clergymen, and deliberately spread the news that this was his cooperation with you, trying to destroy the relationship between the church and the nobility. However, His Excellency the "Angel of Divine Grace" is a saint favored by the Lord, wise and upright, and has not been subject to rumors at all. I also ask the deputy leader not to be provoked and to believe in the justice of the Lord.
After sending the cardinal away with a smile, Sharp turned and entered the bedroom, his face became extremely solemn, and said to the three subordinates including "Pure Silver Punishment": "There must be something else happening, go and find out!"
He probably understood that this operation was a trap by the magician. The target was not Alfonso at all, but the "Heart of Time" Ctonia. Even the "Lord of Death", the once legendary pinnacle, was dispatched. It was dozens or hundreds of times worse than I expected! Therefore, it is impossible for me to pass the test so easily. There must be other factors involved that lead to such a result, and this is likely to be a more important and far-reaching event than this incident.
When the three subordinates left, Sharp started pacing back and forth, no longer in the mood to watch the dark night outside, and a touch of anxiety spread uncontrollably.
The sky suddenly lit up, lightning flashed away, and "Silver Punishment" Cesc appeared in the bedroom.
Sharp controlled his mood and maintained his image as a leader: "What did you find out?"
¡°There was a big battle in Tria. His Majesty the Pope used divine descent twice in a row to repel and seriously injure ¡®Silver Moon¡¯ Aitna, and killed Abel¡¡± Cesk recounted with a face full of shock.
"What?" Sharp couldn't maintain his image anymore and exclaimed, "Silver Moon" took action? And then got defeated?
Cesc ignored the repetition and continued: "But His Majesty the Pope was in poor condition and returned to Reims. The legendary magician, the blood prince, the ancient dragon, etc. flew over Tria and directly launched an attack on Reims. The battle was tense. .¡±
This is a step further than what "Angel of Divine Grace" Franz said before, because new information has been transmitted from Lance.
"So that's it" Sharp whispered, and then comforted the slightly frightened Cesc, "Unless a god takes action, Lance will not be so easily broken. When the Excellencies on the Tria front line return, things will become more complicated. Things have stabilized, but I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with His Majesty the Pope¡¡±
Soon, "Demon Burning Flame" Gu Jufu returned: "Master Captain, His Excellency the 'King of Angels' came to the holy city of Reims, and used the protection of God to block the ancient time dragon Danissus, Dracula, Attacks by legendary powerhouses such as the Elf Queen and the 'Sun King'."
This "Sun King" is only the legendary third level, not the original Thanos.
"Master, His Majesty the King, Saint Griffith, Saint Ivan, the Shield of Truth, Rudolf and others rushed back from Tria and completely repelled the attack of the magician and the Dark Alliance." The first one. The knight finally returned with the latest news.
"His Majesty the Pope didn't take action. It seems that the situation is indeed not good" Sharp analyzed softly. Suddenly, he burst into laughter. "No wonder they let me go so easily. At this time, the nobles are urgently needed on this side of the strait." The same goes for the help of the Westward Expansion War!"
"Yes, congratulations to the leader." The first knight said happily.
With a smile on his face, Sharp looked at his three trusted subordinates: "Not having to be judged is not the happiest thing for me. Can you guess what I am happiest about?"
"A stalemate in the Westward Expansion War?" "Demon-burning flames," Gu Jufu answered uncertainly.
"Yinyue was also severely injured?" The first knight was still full of admiration and worship for the church, the pope, and the divine art.
"Pure Silver Punishment" Cesk was silent for a moment and said: "Master, are you happy that these two things have demonstrated the power of the nobility? A power that even the cardinal will be wary of, win over and fear?"
"Yes." Sharp looked back out the window. He didn't know how many secrets were hidden in the thick darkness. "I just realized today that our power is so strong, even if IThey killed Alfonso, and they can't do anything to me either. "
Faced with the deputy captain deliberately revealing his heart and exposing his guilt, the three knights looked at each other and knelt down on one knee: "Nobility first!"
¡¡¡¡
"First, Abel and Dracula set a trap to raid the Pope, then use themselves as bait to consume the Pope's 'divine magic', and finally let Abel and Dracula kill the weak Pope. The plan is good, but 'Silver Moon' is much softer than I thought. Isn't he afraid that he will be directly obliterated by the 'divine descending technique'? Or is he so confident in the god-like immortality? Moreover, he is so sure that the Pope cannot use 'divine magic' twice in a row. "Subjugation"?" After listening to "Earl Silver Eyes" describe this simple but effective plan, "Lord Death" asked half sighing and half tentatively.
The beautiful vampire with the title of "Count Silver Eyes" smiled and said: "Because he has a certain understanding of the power and sequelae of the 'divine descending technique', during the battle of Antiphore, the ancestor had been watching nearby, but did not take action, and I have been around Lance for a long time, but unfortunately, my judgment was a little wrong."
