Chapter 312: Who's going to Duel?

Even though it was not the first time he had seen this palace of kings, when Leo stood in front of this hall at close range for the first time, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The ten-storey building covers an area of more than a kilometer in length and width, and it would take you a full 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other at a normal walking pace.

In addition to its astonishing length, it was the tallest building in Ridmar, and Leo had to lift his head to an exaggerated angle to see the dome of the palace of kings.

It is said that the exclusive room of His Majesty the Emperor at the top can even overlook any corner of the city of Ridmar, which is an incomparably wonderful feeling for any king.

The morning sun shone from Leo's back to the palace of kings, and the red walls reflected a golden red light that made people dazzled, and at this moment, this majestic and atmospheric building was like an ancient beast exuding monstrous majesty, sitting in the center of the city of Ridmar and even the entire empire, looking down on all the subjects of this land, silently but boldly proclaiming its strength and majesty to the world.

At this moment, a court attendant walked up to Leo and saluted Leo very respectfully: "Your Excellency Bishop, can you show me your invitation?" ”

Leo, who was still immersed in shock, came back to his senses, took out an invitation card with extremely exquisite workmanship from his bosom, and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter glanced at the contents of the invitation, and the look of respect on his face became a little more respectful: "It turned out to be Lord Leo, please come with me." After speaking, he walked towards the palace of kings in front of him.

The palace of kings is about a thousand meters away from the palace wall, and between the two is a very wide enough large square to accommodate tens of thousands of people, Leo glanced left and right, and found that there were many people dressed in gorgeous costumes and noble temperament, or walking alone with himself under the guidance of the waiter towards the palace of kings in front of them, and they seemed to be extremely noble people.

Because Leo's bright red bishopric was too conspicuous, many people noticed his presence and pointed at Leo from a distance, judging from their expressions and eyes, it was obvious that what they were saying was not a good thing.

But this is also understandable, knowing that the confrontation between the church and the royal family has become a fact, how can these guys, who know at a glance that they are big nobles, give Leo, a guy in a cardinal's uniform, a good look.

As the Temple of Kings got closer, the voices in Leo's ears became clearer, and comments such as "Papal lackeys" and "stupid believers" could already be heard.

This made Leo's heart quite unhappy, so after thinking for 0.01 seconds, Leo simply raised his middle finger to the loudest nobles not far away, made a very obscene gesture, and scolded: "Old things, if you have anything to say, just say it to your face, don't sneakily talk bad about others behind your back like a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

The youngest of the nobles pointed out by Leo also had frost on their temples, and the eldest even needed someone to support them, and they undoubtedly belonged to the best families in the empire in terms of their clothing style.

Who is not hugging such a distinguished person when he travels on weekdays, and where does anyone dare to point at their nose and scold the street like this? Hearing this, they were immediately not to be outdone, and they opened their mouths to choke, and the foul language poured towards Leo like a torrent and waterfall, and it was very useful to drown Leo with saliva.

In addition, many of the guests who were walking in the square gathered around when they heard the movement, surrounding both sides. Most of these guests were also imperial nobles, so naturally no one sided with Leo as a member of the church, so Leo's ears immediately became a lot of cynicism.

Leo sneered, took off the glove of his right hand without fear, signaled to the people around him, and said arrogantly: "Whoever says another word, I will launch a duel against him!" ”

The overwhelming scolding came to an abrupt end.

These nobles of noble status, look at me, I look at you, but none of them dared to speak out.

None of the nobles who are qualified to enter the palace of kings today are fools, even if they don't know Leo's identity, but Leo's bright cardinal uniform can still be recognized.

Although the friendly relationship between the royal family and the church has existed in name only, these nobles are not stupid enough to duel a cardinal in public here. In addition to worrying that today is a day of celebration, it is more important to worry about the church behind Leo.

Regardless of the relationship between Leo and the Pope, at least Leo is present at the celebration on behalf of the Church, even if he defeats Leo in the duel, the ensuing must be the revenge of the Church in front of him.

It is one thing to hold His Majesty the Emperor's thigh and go against the Church, but it is quite another to face the Church's revenge alone or as a family. This kind of superficial officialdom is simply not too simple for the nobles present.

It is precisely because of this that several of the nobles who have gathered around him are generals with high-ranking strength, but there is silence around Leo, as if everyone has suddenly become mute.

"A bunch of bastards with only tongues!" Leo looked around at the crowd around him, and after a sneer in his mouth, he threw down a mockery fiercely, and then turned to the petrified waiter beside him and said, "Continue to lead the way." ”

So Leo swaggered so much, surrounded by the eyes of the nobles who could eat people, Shi Shiran walked out of the encirclement and walked towards the palace of the king.

As he walked, he didn't forget to complain in his heart - this god has been busy for several days, and he almost lost his life in order to destroy the children of darkness who caused trouble at the celebration, and now you guys who participated in the celebration are still pointing fingers at me? You're killing yourself!

For some reason, the originally cloudy mood in Leo's heart suddenly improved a lot.

However, Leo did not notice that while he was alone and fighting with the nobles, two figures were watching him from a terrace on a certain floor of the King's Palace.

"This little guy doesn't seem to be in a very good mood." Prime Minister Paul looked at Leo thoughtfully.

"No matter who is in the church, they are not going to be in a good mood when they come here today." Duke Li'an said very calmly.

The Prime Minister smiled and said, "I heard that there seems to be traces of the Dark Sect Sanctuary powerhouse outside the city a few days ago, is that so?" ”

"That's right." Duke Li'an nodded expressionlessly, and said, "I've already checked, it's just a mere Sanctuary vampire, but there are more than ten Sanctuary in the Red Fort at the moment, so we don't need to worry about it at all." ”

"That's right." Prime Minister Paul was relieved when he heard this, and said, "What about that person?" ”

Duke Li'an's face became serious for the first time, and he said, "I have already sent someone to lay it down, as long as that person dares to appear here, this time he must be allowed to come and go!" ”

"He'll show up." Prime Minister Paul looked up at the sky and sighed leisurely: "Thirty years of grievances, it's time to end it." ”
