Chapter 157: Then give her the truth
Newgate stood about two metres away from his desk, took off his hood, and straightened up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lucas inhaled, then asked Newgate, "Have you ever wondered how I've run the church over the years?" ”
Newgate replied: "If you think passively once, you don't want to think about it a second time." ”
Lucas asked, "What's your answer?" ”
Newgate replied: "Wide perspective. ”
"On the contrary, the world is always bigger than mortals can imagine," Lucas said, "and all I can do is focus on the little things that don't matter." ”
Newgate provoked a mocking laugh: "If you think it's a worthwhile thing to put eyeliner next to an old man who has nothing and is just waiting to die, you name it." ”
Lucas didn't care about Newgate's smile and continued: "Because the world is vast, those little things that don't matter will eventually connect and become a force that can shake the rock. ”
Newgate grimaced: "What do you want?" ”
"I have always suspected that the wealth I gave you was a deception, but I cannot do anything to you because there is no evidence, Mr. Newgate Ionclair. No...... Mr. Newgate Duvalen. ”
Lucas's fingers twitched slightly.
"But now it's okay, our little princess is still alive, I won't go into the details, just if you chose the church between the queen and the church, of course it is a very wise choice. Now, I want you to continue to be wise, and since she wants the truth, give it to her. ”
"You're crazy!?" Newgate's hands clenched secretly, "You think this is what the Queen wants!?" What exactly are you up to!? ”
Facing the angry old Ionclay, Lucas's little round face was still calm and expressionless.
"I can forgive your ignorance for your secluded lifestyle, Monsieur Duvalen, and I can tell you unmistakably that the past of the wars is corrupting the body of the Queen at a terrifying rate, and the Queen is no longer everything, and she has no power to answer anything to you, and naturally, so does her hero, Ravel. As for you, Monsieur de Duvalen, as long as your precious son is alive, you have no room for resistance, all the time. ”
Returning to the Great Chapel in the ancient city of Begajit, Noah went straight to the chamber of the Pope's deputy assistant and knocked on the door. When the door opened, a tall and slender young man in a robe, with a handsome and sunny face, hugged Noah, patted the silver armor and whispered in Noah's ear, "Welcome home, my brother." ”
"I'm back, Francis." Noah hugged the young man with dark brown curls and dark pupils, and a shallow smile rose into his mouth.
Only when facing his brother-in-law who grew up together since childhood, Noah will show his feelings and smile.
"You're back a lot sooner than I expected." Francis showed his usual warm and rustic smile, "How's it going, is everything going well?" ”
Noah suddenly remembered Arthur, who had dragged him down Ymir and crushed him to the ground. However, he quickly erased the figure of the black-haired boy from his mind and replied, "Complete the task." What about you here? ”
"The same old way. A few days after you left, the Holy Father felt a little unwell, perhaps due to the weather, but he recovered quickly. You should go see him first, Noah. ”
"Holy Father knows that it is my habit to check with you first."
"It's not a trivial matter to ask for an encore after returning." Francis never tired of reminding Noah, "Even if your strength is recognized, try to be perfect." Like we've known for a long time......"
The two men said in unison: "The Pope's adopted son is not easy to do. ”
Francis let out a hearty laugh, and Noah looked at Francis with a light smile on his lips.
Noah was shocked when he learned from Francis that the priesthood Lucas had left Begajgit for personal reasons. Bidding farewell to his brother, Noah returned to the Templar Order and asked his subordinates if there was any record of the priesthood's long march to the Templars during his absence, and his subordinates gave him a negative answer.
Lucas is not in Vegajgit, like a leading general leaving the kingdom he was to defend. Noah was uneasy. He knew very well that after the arrival of peacetime, if Lucas, who rarely left the city, traveled, it could only be for two reasons, either directly related to the queen herself, or related to the "tower".
After more than half a month's journey, Arthur and his entourage arrived at Ojivich, which is located on the plateau.
Young people are amazed by the bustling city of the city, full of high-rise buildings of all shapes, or buildings they don't see functioning, and almost every other street there is a bookstore, or a shop selling magical equipment, and every one of them seems to be doing well. Many of the open spaces are occupied by sculptures, most of which are portraits of mages or scholars. Beneath the great-looking figures, robed magicians hurried with their staffs in their hands and heavy magic books tucked under their armpits.
The whole city seems to be an ocean of knowledge, infected by the atmosphere, even Arthur wants to grab a book and read it. After questioning, the crowd bypassed the tall buildings and low houses to the streets belonging to the prophets.
It was a wide street straight and accommodating five carriages in parallel. It has a poetic name: Galaxy. However, if you ask people who come and go to this street who took the name and why they chose it, you will not get a clear and uniform answer. It seems that the street used to be just a street, and suddenly this street has become a "galaxy".
At first glance, the street looks like an ordinary bazaar, but if you look closely, you can see that the merchants who gather on both sides of the street are dressed completely differently from the ordinary vegetable merchants, fruit merchants, or leather merchants. In addition to some strange props, what they sell is the "fate" of the guests, or any "information" that the guests want to know.
Each merchant varies in size, ranging from a simple blanket or a table, to a semi-open tent, a simple storefront converted from a horse-drawn carriage, and the best is a regular store like a bookstore or grocery store.
However, these well-dressed soothsayers, soothsayers, and answer-hungry guests are not the most prominent presence on the street. The first thing anyone sees when they stand at the entrance to the street is the towering tower at the end of the street.
Because of the slenderness of the tower, it looks more like a chimney rising from the ground when viewed from a distance. But no one has ever seen a white chimney, and this tower is pure white.
After inquiry, the young people learned that the white tower was the tallest building in Ojiwicz, and that it was the most famous and important building in the area, along with the McGregory School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the largest building in Ojiwicz.
