Chapter 647: Three Solutions
As soon as Duke Habs's voice fell, Leo and Cheeto immediately cheered up.
"What did it say?" Leo asked eagerly, judging by his expression alone, you would even think that Leo was Viscount Juan's cousin, and Cheeto, who had a calm face, was the one who didn't care about himself.
Duke Habs handed the letter to Leo: "See for yourself. ”
Leo took the letter, first observed the material of the letter, and then found that the letter, from the letter paper to the envelope, was the kind of ordinary goods that could be bought with two copper plates.
"You're really careful." Leo couldn't help but mutter, apparently the other's caution had frustrated his desire to get some information through the envelope and stationery.
So Leo was no longer entangled, and focused his attention on the letter, the content of the letter was quite a lot, and there were several pages in his hand, and the full text of the letter was as follows:
Dear Duke Habs,
It is a great pleasure to have this opportunity to speak with you about Viscount Juan, and perhaps you have never known anything about me before, so please allow me to introduce myself a little first, and you can call me "Entropy".
Obviously, you should know that Viscount Juan has been missing for several days. But I want you not to worry, because that's what we're going to talk about.
I have just heard that you intend to cooperate with Leo, and I have asked Leo to do so, but unfortunately my request for cooperation has been denied.
To be honest, I actually gave instructions to Lord Leo at the beginning, and I explicitly told him that Viscount Juan was hiding in the underground vault of Bishop Nelson's mansion, but it was clear that Lord Leo was over- well, cautious in this matter. So I had to take matters into my own hands, in case Bishop Nelson learned of your cooperation with His Excellency Leo, and took some regrettable and irreparable action.
So I think you can understand Bishop Nelson's disrespectful refusal to receive you, not because he had any ill feelings toward you, but simply because of the "little gift" I gave him at parting.
At this moment, Lord Viscount and Lord Ambrosi are guests in the Despicable Place, and I can assure you that he is intact from head to toe.
Of course, in case the agitated duo takes some drastic action and causes us to misunderstand, some small confinement measures must be understandable.
There was no doubt that as the new head of the future Blood Wolf Family and the Prince of the Empire, Viscount Juan's treatment was very uncourteous, so after careful consideration, he thought that there could be two solutions to this matter.
First, you can convince Leo that you, me, and Leo will work together to help him ascend to the Pope. In the eyes of the contemptible people, this is undoubtedly the best solution.
Second, you still need to convince Lord Leo to give him the Scepter of Michael in his hands. It's not a great solution, but it's a solution that can solve the problem.
Of course, there is an even worse, if not worst, option: violence.
If the time really comes when you have to live or die, I think I can only regret to tell you, my honorable Duke, that at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to save the life of Viscount Juan in front of his angry men.
Normally, the Cardinal Conference meets to elect a new bishop on the tenth day after the death of His Majesty the previous Pope, so your reply is due on the eve of the current bishopric meeting – that is, you have seven days to think and convince His Excellency Leo.
If once you have made your choice, the way to inform me is to place bricks on the vault of the thirteenth triumphal arch from east to west on the Avenue of Triumph, and tell me by the number of bricks whether your choice is one or two, or the worst that none of us want.
I sincerely look forward to your reply, and I look forward to the day when we will work with you as soon as possible.
At the end of the letter, there is no signature, but a tall figure with a hideous face is drawn with a demon pattern, although there are only a few short lines, but I have to say that the demon's temperament is quite expressive.
Duke Habs spoke: "Although I don't know how this entropy demon did it, the letter does have an aura exclusive to Juan, and it should have been deliberately left on it for us to discover." ”
"That's right," Leo let out a sigh and lifted his head from the letter, "It seems that Viscount Juan has really fallen into the hands of this entropy demon." ”
Although he had expected it in advance, when his conjecture was really verified, Leo still felt that things were very tricky.
With the full support of the Inquisition, there are only two real threats to Leo in the race for the Pope at this moment, one is Bishop Nelson, and the other is this very mysterious entropy demon.
Bishop Nelson is certainly an opponent to be reckoned with, but after all, he is still an enemy on the surface, and there are still many ways to deal with it.
And this entropy demon and its vengeful brotherhood are completely hidden in the dark, although Leo knows that the foundation of this organization is located in the civilian class of the Holy See, but he can't uproot it at all, because in any country and any city, the civilian class occupies the vast majority, how can Leo and the Inquisition find the people of the vengeful brotherhood from the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Holy See?
The invisible enemy is the most troublesome, especially when this enemy also has something very crucial, and Leo is facing such a dilemma at the moment.
Cheeto also took the letter at this moment, and the eyes of the master of the Inquisition, known as the "Demon God's Pupil", seemed to have some special ability, and he only glanced at each letter briefly, and then raised his head and asked a very crucial question: "What now?" ”
"What should I do?" Leo couldn't help but smile bitterly and shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, all the methods have been listed in the letter by this entropy demon himself, aren't they?" ”
Duke Habs frowned and turned to Leo and asked, "This man called Entropy Demon, you have met him before?" ”
"Yes." Leo nodded, and explained in detail about the meeting with the Entropy Demon not long ago, and then said, "To be honest, I have always had a feeling that this guy is unreliable, otherwise I would not refuse to cooperate with him." ”
Duke Habs pondered for a while, and then said, "You are doing the right thing, let such a person become our ally, don't say it's you, I'm not at ease." ”
"So option one definitely won't work." Leo said: "Then there are only options two and three, in fact, if it can, I think the second option is barely acceptable, but the problem now is that the Michael's scepter he wants in the second plan is no longer in my hand." ”
