Chapter 58: True and False Bishops

A crow fluttered onto the windowsill and made a noisy call. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It didn't wait long, and a servant quickly heard the sound and tore off a small piece of paper that was firmly tied to the crow's feet, then threw it a few more grains of bird food, and then let it rest in the birdcage that had been built on the balcony.

The note quickly passed from the servant's hand to the butler Farindor, and from Farindor to Viscount Juan's desk.

The paper is thin, as thin as a cicada's wings; But it is very tough, and it is difficult to tear even if you tear hard. This special paper, produced in the county of Murcia in the southwestern part of the empire, was produced in small quantities and rarely circulated on the market, and was usually used only by the great noble families in the empire to transmit important information.

The paper was the size of an ordinary page, but Viscount Juan had been reading it for half an hour.

Falin Duo stood silently aside, looking at his nose and his nose at his heart, like a silent statue.

"Whew!" The Viscount let out a long breath and leaned heavily against the back of his chair, his sturdy body weighing down the mahogany chair from Extremadura, with an overwhelming sound of protest. "Come and see, Farindor."

Farindo walked over to his desk and picked up the thin piece of paper that had been sent by his master for half an hour.

The paper is not big, but there is a lot of content. A large paragraph of information was densely written on it in small letters, and Farindo read a few sentences and found that they were all about some unknown secrets about the new bishop Antonidas Prol, and he was about to continue reading when Viscount Juan suddenly reminded him: "Look directly at the bottom." ā€

Naturally, Farindor moved his gaze to the bottom of the paper.

Then he found that his master was not wrong, although the above information was very precious, and even some of the information needed to pay a lot of money to obtain from the core members of the Golden Lion Family, but at this moment, the effect of those dense small words was no different from garbage, and the reason was very simple-

Since the new bishop is not Antonidas Prol, all the information about Antonidas Prol is naturally worthless.

At the bottom of the paper are two small portraits, underneath which are also annotated with notes. On the left is written "Fifth Intermediate Divine Wizard, Blue Cardinal Antonidas Prol", and below the portrait on the right is "Fifth Intermediate Temple Samurai Darwin".

Darwin's portrait has few lines but is very expressive, and the expressions and facial features of the temple warriors are completely sketched from thousands of miles away, which can be called lifelike.

But the other portrait depicted a man that Farindor had never seen before.

It is clear that both portraits were made by the same person, and that the painter could have painted Darwin so vividly, it would have been impossible for him to paint the Cardinal in a more important position than Darwin as a completely different person.

So now there is only one plausible explanation - the blue-clothed bishop that Farindor had seen was a fake.

Someone dares to pretend to be a blue-coated cardinal? Farindo subconsciously took a deep breath.

"Crazy, right?" Viscount Juan obviously saw Farindor's inner thoughts, and the lord of Varna City smiled bitterly, with a very ugly look on his face: "It seems that my hunch is indeed not wrong, this new bishop, it is indeed fake. ā€

"How did you find out?" Falindo recalled the scene of that day, and could not help but admire it in his heart, and if the young master had not specially requested these two portraits, perhaps he would have kept the impostor in the dark.

Viscount Juan said: "The way he eats. ā€

"How do you eat?" Farindo clearly didn't quite understand what his master meant.

"That's right, the way you eat." Viscount Juan nodded and said, "The vast majority of people in this world hold a fork in their left hand and a knife in their right hand when they eat. ā€

"Isn't he?" Farindo asked.

"He is." Viscount Juan said: "It is precisely because he has a left-handed fork and a right-handed knife that I am suspicious." ā€

"I don't understand." Farindo was clearly confused.

Viscount Juan smiled slightly, and explained to his butler very patiently: "The reason why I just said that the 'vast majority of people' fork the knife in their left hand and right hand is of course because there are still a very small number of people whose habits are diametrically opposed to the general public, and among these very few people are the greatest family in the empire, the Golden Lion Family. ā€

"Then why do the members of the Golden Lion Family use knives and forks like this, just to show that they are different?" Farindo suddenly transforms into a curious baby.

"Of course not, you must know that the Golden Lion Family itself is the most unique family." Viscount Juan shook his head and smiled, "As far as I know, the original Lord Lionheart lost the ring finger and tail finger of his right hand in a fierce battle. So in order to make it easier to cut food during meals, His Excellency Lionheart changed to holding a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right. And his descendants, in order to show their respect for their great ancestor, all changed to the same posture as him. ā€

"I see." Falin Duo suddenly realized and said, "So the posture of this new bishop holding a knife and fork is normal for most people, but for a member of the Golden Lion Family, it is very abnormal. ā€

"That's right." Viscount Juan nodded and said: "Even if he has been expelled from the Golden Lion family, he still has the blood of the Golden Lion in his bones, although I have not had much contact with the members of this family, but the guys I have come into contact with are all arrogant and have an almost fanatical worship of their common ancestor, His Excellency the Lionheart, so I conclude that even if he is expelled from the family, the real Bishop Antonidas Prol will never change this dining posture." ā€

"That's where you see through the false bishop." Falindo nodded convincingly, obviously impressed by the delicacy and observation of his master, who did not match his physique. "So what are we to do now, master, do we need to immediately inform the Church Inquisition so that the adjudicators can bring this false bishop to justice?"

Viscount Juan was silent, obviously this question was the reason why he had been frowning and thinking about it for so long.

After a long time, Lord Viscount finally raised his head, and judging by the look on his face, there was no doubt that he had made a final decision.
