c_t; As the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith dragged Marco Brightman down, he was greeted with no doubt by a brutal torture of words and deeds, and the atmosphere in the council chamber became delicate. [No pop-ups. (') Access:. Copy the URL to visit the first launch

But at this point, almost everyone saw clearly that Roddy Ozil was just an introduction, and Peter II did not mean anything against Roddy, and his target had always been Marco Brightman. But he could have taken down Marco Brightman directly, so why bothered so much?

There is only one reason, Peter II is killing the 'chicken' to show the monkey, he wants to let the other cardinals understand that the Holy See is the Holy See, and in the past, they were a little damaging to the public's 'fat' and 'private' as Peter II turned a blind eye, which does not mean that he is deaf to the point of not knowing. That's just that Peter II can understand that they have a whole family behind them to support, which is equivalent to giving them benefits in disguise. But this does not mean that what they did was legal and reasonable, Peter II, the absolute power, had the right to withdraw all these gifts at any time, and he also had the ability to do so.

For a time, everyone was in danger, fearing that Peter II would turn his anger on him.

On the contrary, Rodidiort, who had been full of drumbeats in his heart, calmed down, and he also saw the means by which Peter II used the subject to play. And since it is a borrowed question, he is the borrowed question, not only will there be no danger, but even when everything is over and the dust settles, he needs to make some compensation.

Roddy's heart was settled, and he looked at the cardinals in the council chamber who were originally a little gloating, but his eyes were a little colder.

Everyone's reaction Roddy is in full view, who is gloating, who is just watching the fire from the other side, who 'reveals' some sadness about the death of rabbits and foxes, and who has worries about Roddy in their eyes, Roddy wrote them all down one by one.

Above the positions within the Holy See, the Pope is supreme, and below him is the Cardinals, whose head, although necessarily one of the members of the Cardinals, is basically the last in line, and whose opinions are the most insignificant. Especially in the quiet years of more than 1,000 years, when religion withdrew from the rule of state power, and there were few wars, the status of the Holy Knights became less and less than before. This is like the ancient times of the Republic of China, when there were no strong enemies around, and the country was prosperous, so naturally the civilian clique had the upper hand, and the military attachés seemed to have become dispensable.

However, even so, as the head of the Holy Knights, he is actually equivalent to the generalissimo of a country, and he has the absolute right to speak in the matter of commanding soldiers and horses. From the deputy head to the centurion, the head of the regiment is personally appointed, which even the supreme pope can't 'intervene', so even if he is at the bottom of the rank in the cardinals, no one dares to really underestimate a captain of the Holy Knights. [Marshmallow updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, I like this kind of website the most, be sure to praise]

At least, in the hearts of any pope, the position of the head of the Holy Knights is much more important than that of any cardinal, and within the cardinals, the cardinals who have a clear understanding actually understand this. However, there are always a few sober people, so when Roddy was killed, many people 'revealed' their expressions of irrelevance and even schadenfreude.

There is no doubt that these people are guys who don't take the identity of the head of the Holy Knights in their eyes, but Roddy will never look down on himself, he has always known that in peacetime, the role of the Holy Knights is not revealed, but the Holy Knights are still the most solid force of the Holy See, he, the leader of the Holy Knights, is still the actual second person of the Holy See below the Pope.

The arrogant Roddy was called by Pope Peter II, and it was indeed his own mistake, even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to do anything. But to those cardinals, Roddy was not so easy to speak.

The ways of these people were recorded by Roddy one by one, and for a long time to come, these cardinals who had gloated were more or less guilty of their lack of sobriety.

"Speaking of your guilt just now, Roddy, as the head of the Holy Knights, you represent a powerful force within the Holy See that even I don't have, whether it is external trouble or internal 'chaos', the Holy Knights need to maintain absolute loyalty. I wouldn't be so upset by the presence of a traitor like Marco Brightman within the Order of Cardinals, but how can you allow such a nail to appear in the Holy Order? Fortunately, these two people are the same goods as cannon fodder, but if there is one, there will be two, and the embankment of thousands of miles will be destroyed in the ant'hill', and a team that shows its combat effectiveness begins to rout from such an inconspicuous place. Today can be just two unqualified paladins, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? One day in the future, will you suddenly find that your command is full of wine bags and rice bags, and then, even you gradually lose absolute command of them? By that time, Roddy Mezil, Honorable Master of the Paladin, how are you going to end up? ”

Peter II was clearly beating Roddy, but in fact, these words sounded in the ears of every cardinal, a kind of rebuke to them.

Especially in Peter II's words, both explicitly and covertly, it seems that they all have the meaning of justifying the name of the Holy Knights, and the traitors in the Cardinal Order are not as serious as the appearance of one or two unqualified Paladins in the Holy Knights, doesn't this show the attitude of the Pope, the Holy Knights are more important than the Cardinals, and the head of the Holy Knights is naturally heavier than every cardinal?

Roddy's eyes looking at Peter II were a little complicated, this should actually be a tacit understanding between the head of the Holy Knights and the Pope, but today, Peter II has clearly described it and put it in front of everyone, what is the purpose of his doing this?

Suddenly, Roddy thought of what Mark Brightman had just said, Mark said that Satan was about to return, and the demon king Lucifer was about to reappear in the world, and he wanted to turn this world into purgatory......

This means that the war is about to break out, and the role of the Holy Knights in the war will be infinitely magnified, after all, the head-on duel with the enemy and the battle between the Dark Holy See must also be led by the Holy Knights and completed by the knights. Bishops at all levels, who are strong men when they fight alone, can be placed on the battlefield, and their role is even inferior to that of a small group of ordinary knights.

Peter II really believed Mark Brightman's words, was he going to prepare for war?

Roddy's heart froze, and then he looked at Peter II's eyes, and the doubts in his heart seemed to have been answered under Peter II's eyes.

Luo Di immediately said bitterly: "From today onwards, the Holy Knights will conduct a strict self-examination, and I will check all the paladins within a day, personally!" Within three days, I'll ask the knights around the world to be inspected in order to purge the entire ranks. ”

Peter II knew that Roddy had thoroughly comprehended his intentions, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Everyone must be very suspicious, how did I know that Marco Brightman was a traitor." Peter II looked around the chamber, and most of them did have a 'show' on their faces. But there are also a few who don't seem to know enough about the current situation, they don't think that Marco Brightman's words have any credibility at all, and the traitor or the undercover agent of the Dark Church has always been ancient, and it is not a big deal.

For these people, Peter II can only be described as angry, why not the Holy Knights want to be purged? The College of Cardinals also needs it.

"This is the greatest purpose of Xu Bansheng's doppelganger so far, and it can be regarded as a gift from him to our Holy See."

Everyone 'revealed' a sudden realization expression, no wonder Peter II was knocked on the 'door', and also injured several paladins and even cardinals, all of them can be held accountable, the reason turned out to be here, Xu Bansheng helped him find out the traitor of the Holy See, which was indeed enough to 'hand' over Zhu Xian and the other three 'women' before the recklessness.

"Soon, Xu Bansheng's second gift will be delivered." Peter II seemed to calmly throw out another sentence.

Everyone was stunned, and at this moment, there was the sound of someone pushing the 'door' outside the 'door', and everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the big 'door'.

The heavy 'door' creaked open, and the light from outside poured in, and even though the people sitting here were all cultivators, they couldn't help but feel a little blurred.

Quickly adjusting to the light outside, everyone saw that two paladins walked in with Stephen Duke, who was tied up with five 'flowers'.

The two paladins obviously had a little dazed on their faces, they were probably hesitant to bring their deputy head in this way, but when they saw their leader's performance, they knew that they had chosen the right side.

Roddy Ozil slapped the table and stood up, stepped in front of Stephen Duke in a few steps, raised his foot and kicked Stephen Duke's heart, and then angrily asked, "Why?!! ”

Stephen Duke's body slammed into a pillar in the council chamber, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and his face was full of guilt, and he muttered, "Lord Roddy, I'm sorry, I ...... I ......"

Looking at Stephen Duke's sluggish expression and posture, Roddy also felt a little angry, and his first reaction was that although Stephen Duke was not 'blinded' by his subordinates, he also had his own unspeakable secrets.

"Okay, Lord Roddy, this kind of interrogation should be 'handed over' to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, I can understand your distress, maybe Duke also has something unspeakable, but since he has chosen to become a traitor, he must be 'handed over' to the Congregation of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith."

The voice of Peter II sounded, which set the tone for the matter.

However, Luo Di still trembled angrily and asked, "Why?" Why? What exactly is this for? ”

Soon someone from the Congregation of the Congregation of the Holy See came in and took Stephen Duke away, and before leaving the 'door', Stephen Duke finally said: "Lord Roddy, I'm sorry, my family is all in their hands, I think, just two unqualified paladins, and they are going to be sent to the Republic to die, this will not hurt the Holy See so much." I didn't know exactly what was going on until just now, when Marco Brightman 'forced' me to do it...... I'm sorry......" The words stopped abruptly, and the big 'door' of the council hall slammed shut again.

Roddy's heart is very complicated, as a subordinate he personally promoted, he still has enough understanding, Stephen Duke's words, he did not hesitate to believe it. However, he also understood that Peter II could never let him go.

"Lord Rodi, don't worry, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Holy See will investigate clearly, if it is really only coerced, he is the only one who is guilty, and it will not harm his family."

This sentence can be regarded as relieving to Roddy, the Holy See's methods of dealing with heresy have always been 'fierce', and it has always been full of 'doors' to behead the nine clans, and since Peter II has spoken, it means that Stephen Duke's family should be safe.

And he can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
