Synilet Palace, Council Chamber. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is no doubt that in the face of the unknown future, the young Leo's mood is obviously a little heavy. But even heavier than his heart were his legs.

That's right, Leo was already standing a little numb.

There were fourteen chairs in the chamber, and in addition to the one at the top, which belonged to the Pope, there were twelve chairs lined up along either side of the long table in the center of the hall, and the twelve cardinals were sitting neatly on these twelve chairs, all of them expressionless, looking like twelve sculptures.

At the bottom of the long table was a lone chair, even covered with dust, and it looked as if no one had sat on it for a long time. But Leo is not a fool, and how can there be a chair covered in dust and facing the Pope's throne in a place like the Council Chamber, which is used by the upper echelons of the Holy See to discuss confidential matters? There must be some conspiracy in this! Maybe as soon as I sit down, I will be held accountable for the crime of disrespecting the pope!

However, what Leo doesn't know is that the chair does have its owner, and not specifically moved it out for Leo.

After two seconds of consideration, Leo decided to stand next to Bishop Gavin's chair. Bishop Gavin does not seem to have a low status in the Holy See, and his position is in the front row of the twelve bishops closest to the papal throne, so that Leo standing next to him is right under the steps of the papal throne.

This stop lasted for an hour.

"Make no mistake, this Pope is too late." A hint of irritability quietly spread from Leo's heart, not because of the cardinals who seemed to be not squinting but had actually been quietly looking at him from the corner of his eye, but because Leo had been a little out of breath after a full hour of waiting, not to mention that the slightest paralysis had quietly spread in the muscles of his legs, making his body begin to tremble slightly.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the door opening behind Leo, which made his whole body suddenly lift his spirits, and he involuntarily straightened his body.

The Church of Light, the current Pope Enhill, has arrived.

After a slow footstep, His Majesty finally walked from the door of the hall to his seat and sat down slowly.

When the Pope was seated, the twelve cardinals stood up and saluted at the same time, saying in unison: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Leo also bowed his head according to the gourd painting scoop and saluted: "See Your Majesty." ”

"Well, sit down." A peaceful voice came from the throne, and the twelve cardinals took their seats, while Leo, who had no seat, looked up, just in time to see the true face of the Enhil Pope.

Gray hair, a somewhat rickety, thin body, cloudy eyes, and a wrinkled face. Even though he was wearing a red purple and gold embroidered robe, and a golden crown symbolizing his status, in Leo's eyes, this Pope Enhil was not so much a world-famous papal leader as an octogenarian with few days.

"It doesn't seem to be as terrible as Bishop Gavin said." Leo muttered quietly in his heart: "I always feel that this Pope can go to the God of Light as long as he falls." ”

Pope Enhill seemed to sense Leo's gaze and glanced up at Leo. Although his eyes were cloudy like yellow mud, the moment Pope Enshier's gaze fell on Leo, Leo's heart suddenly had a very strong alarm, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily, feeling as if everything in himself had suddenly been peeled off without reservation, completely exposed to the other party's sight - the eyes of His Majesty the Pope seemed to be able to see through all the secrets in Leo's body!

Leo instantly regretted what he had just thought, this Pope Enhil was an old and sick cat, he was simply a lion who was still powerful!

Thankfully, the sensation that terrified Leo only lasted for a few moments before disappearing from his body.

"Hmm." Pope Enhil, who withdrew his gaze, nodded at Leo, a smile seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth, and his tone sounded quite gentle: "Presumably, you are the divine favor given to our followers by the supreme God of Light, what is your name?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, my name is Leo Sargeras, and I'm from Navarre, in the northeastern part of the Empire." Leo replied respectfully.

This answer was not a whim on the whim of Leo, but a decision made after consulting with Bishop Gavin. In the words of Bishop Gavin: "If His Majesty the Pope is not going to hold you accountable for impersonating a clergyman, then if he does not mention it, you can be cleared." If His Majesty the Pope intends to hold you accountable, at least you can spare one charge of lying to him. ”

At this moment, Leo suddenly felt another strong gaze on him. Leo subconsciously looked back at the source of his gaze, and found that it was a cardinal sitting at the end of the long table staring at him, his face was quite gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be mixed with a bit of undisguised anger.

"Strange, why is this guy so angry that it looks like I killed his son?" Leo muttered in his heart again, but quickly closed his gaze, it was obviously unwise to make a feud with any cardinal at such a time, although Leo was quite baffled by the fact that the other party had such a big grudge.

"Hmm." The Pope nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Bishop Gavin, and said slowly: "Bishop Gavin, you are the one who picked it up, do you have anything to say?" ”

Leo's heart jumped slightly when he heard this, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at Bishop Gavin, although it seems that this Bishop and Lord Lei Feng have reached some kind of deal, but if Bishop Gavin turns his face and betrays himself now, then Leo is really unable to escape.

In the face of the pope's inquiry, the expression on Bishop Gavin's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he calmly replied: "No, Your Majesty." ”

Leo quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good." Pope Enshir looked around the chamber and said unhurriedly, "I don't think anyone here will doubt Bishop Gavin's honesty and piety, so next—"

"I have something to say, Your Majesty." It was at this time that someone suddenly interrupted Pope Enshil.

"Oh?" There was a slight hint of surprise in the Pope's words: "Bishop Matthew, please give your opinion. ”

Leo followed everyone in the room and looked at the source of the sound at the end of the long table, where a cardinal was slowly rising from his seat next to the dusty chair.

"Is that him?" Leo's heart couldn't help but jump suddenly, because this cardinal named Matthew was the same cardinal who was staring at Leo with hatred!

A hint of something bad suddenly crept into Leo's heart.

"Your Majesty, Bishops." Bishop Matthew didn't see anything unusual on his face at the moment, he first gestured to the Pope and the other bishops, and then said: "I have something to tell you, and that is this so-called divine favor—" Bishop Matthew stretched out his hand and pointed at Leo, and said in a sonorous voice: "Actually, it is a murderer who murdered Antonidas Prol, the former bishop of the diocese of Varna!" ”
