Chapter 316: Unspoken Rules
Leo looked left and right, and happened to see a chair beside him, so he reached out and pulled the chair, and sat down on the chair with a big thorn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Obviously, there are four masters of the Blood Shadow Guard around him, but Leo behaves as if he is at ease in his own home.
Such a move also made the surrounding onlookers discuss: "What is this kid doing?" It felt like the Edgars weren't being taken seriously at all. "You're talking nonsense, you're obviously scared stupid." "Really? I always felt that he was very calm. "Fart, haven't you heard of what it is? How can this kid be an opponent of the Edgards, you just wait and see how deflated he is. ”
Leo didn't pay attention to the bystanders, but looked at Edgar with a smile: "You just said that I hit His Majesty's guests. ”
Edgar smiled back and said, "That's right, Leo-sama. ”
"Oh." Leo nodded and smiled, "That's right, I did beat up this guy named Palmer, and in front of so many people." So what are you going to do with me? ”
Edgar was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Leo to admit it so blatantly, which made many of the Home Secretary's original preparations come to naught. Fortunately, Edgar reacted very quickly, and after a moment of silence, he answered.
"Lord Leo." Edgar said, "Because of your special status, I think only His Majesty the Emperor can rule on your actions. ”
Edgar was not wrong, since Leo was the Pope's envoy to the celebration, of course, only His Majesty the Emperor could make a ruling on Leo.
"Your Majesty the Emperor?" Leo laughed, stretched out a finger, first pointed to the church symbol on his chest, and then shook his finger lightly in front of him: "I'm sorry, but the people of our Holy Sect are not under the control of His Majesty the Emperor." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an instant uproar in the hall.
Frankly speaking, Leo's sentence is actually not wrong at all, and it is completely in line with the facts.
In fact, in addition to the well-known covenants between Charles the Great, the founding emperor of the Spany Empire, and the first pope of the Church of Light, there is actually an unwritten unwritten rule.
The unspoken rule is actually very simple - people in the church who break the law are not judged by the lord or the king, but by the independent court set up by the church itself.
For example, when Leo was still the bishop of the diocese of Varna, even if he killed someone in the street, it could only be tried by the inquisition court of the church, and if the court found Leo not guilty, then even the lord of Varna, Viscount Juan, or even King Charles, would have nothing to do with him.
Undoubtedly, this unspoken rule had obviously challenged the laws of the empire and even the majesty of the king, so although the Founding Emperor Charles I agreed to it in order to gain the help of the church, it was only natural that this treaty could not be made public, but could only become an "unknown" unspoken rule.
Of course, today, three hundred years after that time, this so-called unknown unspoken rule is no secret to many of the nobles present. But today's Leo has said this unspoken rule on such an occasion and in such a time period.
As mentioned earlier, this unspoken rule is actually a challenge to the laws of the empire and the dignity of the king, if you don't break it, at least you can pretend not to pay attention, but Leo said this in public, which is equivalent to tearing off the emperor's fig leaf, which makes the nobles in the hall on the side of the royal family how can they bear it?
The hall was immediately full of excitement and scolding, and it seemed that Leo was eager to chop up a mouthful of meat on the spot.
Edgar's face was also gloomy, and he spoke almost without any hesitation: "Lord Leo, I must tell you in all seriousness that His Majesty Charles XVI has the supreme power to dispose of and judge anyone who is within the territory of the Spany Empire and overseas colonies, do you understand?" ”
Of course, it was impossible for Edgar to admit Leo's claim, or that it was impossible for any brainy Spany Empire official to admit Leo's claim on this occasion, because that would be a blow to the face of the Empire and even the Emperor.
"Really?" Leo raised his hands very blisterly and made a gesture of surrender: "In that case, then please take me to His Majesty the Emperor to see what His Majesty the Emperor will do with me." ”
Edgar's eyebrows furrowed again, and he said in his heart, this kid really takes himself seriously, how can His Majesty the Emperor be able to see him if you want to?
But of course, such words could not be said directly in public, so Edgar said, "Your Majesty is busy at the moment, so-"
Leo interrupted Edgar abruptly and said, "So I'll wait for him here, and I'll come back and let him see me when he's not busy." ”
Edgar froze.
Not only Edgar, but the entire hall was stunned, and everyone's face showed a dull expression.
This kid dared to let His Majesty the Emperor take the initiative to see him? And still in this tone like a boss commanding a subordinate? Who did he think of the honorable Charles XVI, the great Emperor of the Spanne Empire?
The hall fell into an incomparable silence for a moment, and then the boiling voice suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption: "The stinky boy is so rude! "Edgar, why don't you let your Blood Shadow Guard take down this disrespectful bastard and put him in prison?" What's more, they simply shouted slogans like "Kill this damn pope's lackey".
Edgar's face was also pale, and the Minister of the Interior of the Empire never expected that the young man in front of him who looked like he was so open-mouthed, and immediately held back his anger and gestured to the four Blood Shadow Guards around Leo, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, why don't you take Lord Leo down and have a good rest!" ”
"Have a good rest" here, of course, is just a polite way of saying it. In fact, after Leo repeatedly provoked the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, Edgar, a loyal servant of His Majesty the Emperor, had already made up his mind to let this boy who knew not know the height of the sky suffer well.
You can eat indiscriminately, but there are some things that you can't just say.
Almost at the same time as Edgar's words fell, the eight arms of the four Blood Shadow Guard masters were placed on eight different positions of Leo's body at the same time, causing Leo to lose control of his body in an instant.
"Hey, you all stop it!" Leon on the side finally couldn't help but rush up, but a fighting aura suddenly flashed on the body of one of the Blood Shadow Guards, and then Leon's whole person was instantly shocked and flew out, and he couldn't get up from the ground for half a day.
These four Blood Shadow Guard masters are also at least seventh-level high-level warriors, and the four of them together are like four tigers dealing with a kitten, so that Leo has no room to fight back at all.
However, Leo, who was being controlled at the moment, did not even have a trace of panic on his face, but showed a very bright smile: "Edgar, you have to think clearly. Are you acting like this today to represent His Majesty the Emperor and our Holy Religion -- a formal declaration of war? ”
The hall fell silent again.
Countless eyes converged on Edgar's face, waiting for the answer of His Majesty the Emperor's number one favorite.
