Duke Habs's footsteps paused slightly, and then a friendly smile appeared on his face: "Long time no see, child." ”

Of course, the "child" in the Duke's mouth did not refer to Leo, and when he said this, Duke Habs's eyes were actually looking at Cheetos standing beside Leo.

The only child born to the biological sister of Duke Habs's mother, the Duke's own nephew, and one of the giants of the Church today, the lord of the Inquisition - Cheetos.

Leo subconsciously glanced at Cheeto beside him, although the face of the master of the Inquisition looked expressionless, Leo could still feel that Cheeto's heart seemed to have a volcano about to rush out, which was full of hot and hot magma, which had a name called family affection.

Just when Leo thought he was about to witness a touching scene of intimate recognition, Cheeto suddenly bowed and said in the same calm tone as ever, "Long time no see, Lord Duke." ”

Duke Habs smiled and nodded: "This is not the place to talk, how about we go in and say?" ”

Cheedo immediately agreed with the duke: "It's okay. ”

So the two walked side by side into the mansion that belonged to Bishop Jeffrey.

Leo stood at the door and looked at these two guys, and he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, because he suddenly found that whether it was Duke Habs or Cheetos, if you didn't know the relationship between these two guys before, then judging from their reactions just now, this was clearly a standard formulaic greeting routine for familiar faces who had only met a few times.

"Hell," Leo couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Even if it's a greeting between two familiar faces, I'm afraid it's not as strange as between these two guys, right?" ”

At this moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in Leo's mind.

"For the light, Leo."

This sentence was not long ago, when Cheeto explained to Leo why he was a powerhouse of the Dark Sanctuary even though he was a member of the Inquisition.

This made Leo shudder: "Make no mistake, could it be that what this guy Cheedo said was true?" Can he really deny his six relatives for the sake of faith? No, I think it must be because there are many people outside, and these two uncles and nephews can't recognize each other here in order to protect each other, it must be like this! When they are alone, the touching and heartfelt long-term goodbye plot will definitely appear! ”

Leo stubbornly found a reason for his insistence, and then followed up in the mansion, but to Leo's surprise, another person followed.

This person is, of course, the first captain of the Knights of the Wings of Light, the temporary Foster of the Duke of Habs.

"Captain Foster?" Leo looked at the fierce general beside him, and his face couldn't help but become strange: "You don't really want to be a personal bodyguard for this duke, do you?" ”

The details of what happened to Foster and Duke Habs at the gates of the city were witnessed by many people, and of course Leo was not hidden.

Foster glanced at Leo, different from the poker face when he faced Duke Habs, Foster's face at this moment showed a serious expression: "Of course, Lord Leo." ”

"Just because of the hundred cavalry he brought?" Leo shook his head disapprehantly, "Are you a little too cautious?" ”

Forster thought for a moment before replying, "How to describe it—sir, I smell a sense of conspiracy in this duke, an aura of conspiracy that could probably destroy us all." ”

Leo's eyes are rolling so much that he is about to break through the sky, please, big brother, are you just a reckless man who charges into battle on the battlefield, okay, don't make yourself as nervous as a prophet, okay?

Of course, this complaint can only be said in the stomach, Leo is not stupid enough to offend such a guy who actually controls the strongest force in the Holy See City.

"Wait, if you're here, what about the day-to-day affairs of the Knights of Lightwings?"

Don't think that it is so easy to be in charge of an army, in fact, a unit like the Knights of Light, his highest commander still has a lot of things to do every day, after all, the Knights of the Wings of Light plus all the combatants together are nearly 50,000 people, and the entire camp of the Knights is almost the same as a small city, and things are naturally very many and complicated, and if you don't deal with it for a day, there will be chaos.

The corners of Foster's mouth twitched, and a smile suddenly appeared: "Lord Leo, the other captains are all experienced people, and they can discuss their daily affairs, even if they encounter an emergency, it is enough to deal with it." ”

Leo nodded: "Well, in that case, then I'll be relieved." ”

Don't look at Leo's beautiful words, in fact, he is still a little unhappy in his heart, because at that moment just now, Leo instinctively felt an opportunity - an opportunity to meddle in the Knights of the Wings of Light.

You must know that before General Biedrins was assassinated, the attitude of the Knights of the Wings of Light was very subtle, and this army, which currently occupies the only and overwhelming force in the Holy See, did not make any statement when it knew that Bishop Gavin was dead and the opposition had split, but stood in a neutral position.

After the assassination of General Biedrins, the neutrality of the Knights of the Wings of Light became even more apparent, because even Foster, who had temporarily taken over the duties of the captain, did not have enough prestige to unify the opinions of the Knights of the Wings of Light.

This makes the Knights of the Wings of Light more completely neutral, as of today, this Knights have not participated in the political situation of the Holy See at all except to maintain order in the Holy See, and it can definitely be regarded as a pure spectator.

And at this moment, Foster also quite tactfully and resolutely rejected Leo's hidden hints, which made Leo's idea of interfering with the Knights of Lightwings frustrated.

"This Foster doesn't seem to be as straightforward as he seems," Leo thought to himself, "It seems that General Biedrins has a really good eye for people, if only that general hadn't been assassinated and unconscious, so that I can probably win over the Knights of Lightwings as long as I meet him, and then I care about other people's faces?" Just announce the enthronement. ”

Leo's idea is not unfounded, after all, as soon as Leo returned to the Holy See, he immediately received a request for a meeting with General Biedrins, which undoubtedly explains the general's attitude to a certain extent.

"Damn the Assassin—" Leo sighed softly and stepped into the hall in front of him.

There were already three people sitting in the hall, none other than the Imperial Emissary, Duke Habs, the Lord of the Ecclesiastical Inquisition, Cheetos, and Cardinal Geoffrey, the owner of the mansion.

Foster didn't follow the hall, and stood at the door, looking as if he was really going to take this bodyguard to the end.

After Leo sat down, Duke Habs suddenly coughed and said with a smile: "Since we are all here, then we should be able to talk about business." ”
