c_t; In Roddy Ozil's understanding, Stephen Duke was not a scheming man. 80。 The update is so fast. Copy URL VisitCopy this address to browsehttp://%77%77%77%2e%62%69%71%69%2e%6d%65/
In fact, the two deputy heads of regiment were appointed by Luo Di himself, and if he had seen his scheming side in the morning, Luo Di would not have asked for trouble.
But this time, looking back now, Roddy had to admit that Stephen had found an extremely appropriate opportunity, if it weren't for the fact that there was a 'wave' within the Holy See, and that he, the head of the regiment, and Peter II were a little tired, he would not have even conducted a basic investigation, so he directly believed the information that Stephen handed over.
Under the normal procedure, either Roddy as the head of the regiment personally evaluates the candidates for the paladin, or at least two centurions plus the recommendation of a deputy regimental commander will give a trainee paladin status. Moreover, these two centurions must not both be under the leadership and jurisdiction of the deputy leader, that is, at least one other centurion under the command of the deputy leader must be involved in order to obtain the status of trainee paladin.
And this time, Roddy easily chose to trust Stephen and didn't even take the assessment.
Roddy also did not ask Stephen to summon the two candidates, but Stephen had a good reason, the cardinal appointed a diocesan bishop, who also happened to be a diocese of North America, and at such a moment, and when there was nothing wrong with the North American side, a diocesan bishop was suddenly promoted, apparently the United States also had an accident.
Stephen said that when he got the information about the two men, the cardinal who was on duty in North America expressed his hope for the assistance of the Holy Knights, and that the new diocesan bishop, although he was talented but not qualified, was in urgent need of the support of headquarters. Stephen decided to let the two new paladins assist the new diocesan bishop, and it was not convenient to come to the headquarters to report on his duties for the time being.
Stephen had repeatedly assured that he had visited the North American diocese a year earlier and had seen these two knights, and that their strength had definitely reached the level of information. More than a year has passed, and it should be more progressive. Moreover, the North American diocese attaches great importance to these two knights, and there is enough inclination in resources, so they have no reason not to improve.
Roddy didn't think too much about it, so he chose to trust his deputy, after all, since Stephen sat in the position of deputy head of the regiment, he can be said to be loyal to him, even the cardinal regiment can not affect his execution of Roddy's orders, since Stephen has repeatedly assured, Roddy does not want to chill the deputy's heart. (’)
But I never expected that the fork would come out here.
The last bit of hope was dashed, and Roddy dispelled the last hope that Stephen was also 'blinded', and all that was left in his mind was how to explain it to Peter II.
Walking outside the 'door' of the chamber and looking at the closed 'door' of the chamber, Roddy realized that once he walked in, he would never be able to get out again.
He suddenly remembered the two documents that Stephen Duke had presented to him at that time, and although the physical evidence was really pale at this time, Roddy always felt that it was a breakthrough. As long as Peter II's trust in him remains, having those two pieces of information means that Roddy is only derelict in his duties, and not deliberately deceived and concealed.
There is an old saying in China, called the crime of deception, and the reason why Peter II suddenly turned over this old account is undoubtedly the credit of Xu Bansheng, and Luo Di also thought of this old saying along Xu Bansheng.
In any case, we must not put ourselves in such a situation as the crime of deceit.
Roddy turned around and left, finding the two documents smoothly, and then returned to the council chamber with the materials with trepidation.
Seeing Roddy coming back alone, several people from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Holy See immediately stood up, looked at Roddy with fierce eyes, and waited for Peter II to give an order to take him down.
Peter II, on the other hand, was silent, in fact, he had long expected this result.
The person who can 'deceive' Rodi must be the person he trusts very much, and this person must also be in a high position, otherwise he will not have the right to recommend two paladins to join. Basically, without asking, Peter II also knew that this person could only come from one of the two deputy commanders. And no matter which one of them doesn't run at such a moment, it's a fool. Xu Bansheng explained the cause and effect very clearly, Zeng Wu and the two paladins went to the republic, as the 'spies' in the Holy Knights, it is impossible not to know what it is for them to be included in the Holy Knights at such a moment, and to give them the status of paladins. When he saw Xu Bansheng, he was afraid that he had already had the intention of escaping.
Peter II, who was in Zhizhu's hands, could actually detain the two deputy commanders as soon as Xu Bansheng left, and did not give him a chance to escape.
However, Peter II still had concerns that in front of all the cardinals, purple cardinals, and most of the paladins of the Holy Order, he would take down a deputy head of the Holy Knights, who was not much lower in status than the cardinals, and this move would cause unwarranted concern among everyone.
The second point is that Peter II must also make sure that there is no problem with Roddy through the escape of this deputy commander.
If the two deputy heads are directly detained, in case the real ghost is Luo Di, he can completely put all the blame on these two people. Peter II seems to be sure, but there is no evidence of who the inner ghost is. The probability that Roddy is an inner ghost is extremely low, but even one in a million possible 'sex', Peter II would never want to risk it.
Although Roddy was the last to arrive at the council chamber, he actually came in under the noses of several of Peter II's personal guards and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. And the two deputy commanders, Peter II really didn't have much time to pay attention to them, anyway, they couldn't escape.
Roddy walked into the council chamber, Peter II had actually trusted him, and everything after that was just a chance to give Roddy a chance to defend himself.
Peter II also needed the escape of the deputy head to prove that Roddy was not with him, after all, Peter II's trust also needed to be magnified for all the cardinals of the Cardinal to see.
Glancing at the few people from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Holy See, they slowly sat down again.
Roddy seemed to go straight to Peter II, but in fact the gestures of those men fell into his eyes. Roddy knew that Peter II should still trust him, otherwise, he would have taken Peter II down if he didn't bring in a single person when he walked in.
Thinking of this, Roddy Ozil couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Walking up to Peter II, Roddy knelt down on one knee, presented the two documents, and then placed his right hand on his left 'chest', and looked directly at Peter II with the courtesy of a knight.
"Your Majesty, it's me who has no way to do it, and it's me who doesn't notice it. Although I did not make a mistake directly, I am willing to accept all the blame, and I am willing to bear the fault this time. ”
Now that he had already judged in his heart that Peter II did not want to kill him, Rodyozil naturally had to make a good gesture.
Peter II also nodded secretly in his heart, it seemed that Roddy had fully understood his intentions.
It's an old guy for decades, and the tacit understanding is there.
"You don't know where sin comes from, do you?" Peter II spoke slowly, then stretched out his hands, and lifted up Roddy, who was kneeling insincerely.
All the cardinals of the cardinal were stunned, and they all looked at Peter II, and said in their hearts, Is the Pope confused? Promoted two unqualified paladins, how can you still say that Roddy Ozil doesn't know what is wrong?
Rodeozil stood in front of Peter II, bowed his head, and said, "I know my sin, but I still have doubts in my heart, and I don't know where it comes from!" ”
Among the cardinals, only a few understood the conversation between the two, and they were too nervous because of a series of recent events, especially the cardinals who had died a cardinal, and today they were killed by the cultivators from the East.
It's just two paladins, no matter how strict the rules of the Holy See are, there will inevitably be some people who are indiscriminate, and they themselves have not promoted some people who are not qualified to be diocesan bishops or even archbishops, but Rodidiosut just approved the addition of two paladins, so he will be punished for such a big crime?
Peter II nodded and said, "Today, Xu Bansheng is here for this matter, that is, for these two people. ”
As he spoke, Peter II stood up suddenly, pointed to one of the cardinals, and shouted: "Holy See Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, take Marco Brightman quickly!" ”
Everyone was shocked, but the people of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith reacted quickly, and immediately rushed behind the cardinal pointed out by Peter II.
Marco Brightman's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect the style of painting in the council chamber to change suddenly, and the guilty Roddy Ozil was fine, but he was found out.
But it is futile to resist in front of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who do not strike, and if they do, they will be hit. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, as the 'gate' of the Ministry of Oversight, has in its hands a holy weapon that completely restrains the bishop and the paladin. At this moment, Marco Brightman has no escape.
A net that was invisible to the 'flesh' directly enveloped Marco Brightman, and in that net, Marco Brightman couldn't even use his holy power.
"The Diocese of North America has recently promoted a diocesan bishop, who is of Chinese descent and the elder brother of one of Xu Bansheng's 'disciples'. This person is also quite a genius, and he is indeed on the assessment list, and there was no problem with his promotion. But the problem is that as soon as he became a diocesan bishop, he took those two paladins who were not qualified at all to the republic to find trouble for half his life. They are not empowered and are not self-motivated. What do you have to say about this, Lord Brightman? ”
Marco Brightman looked at Peter II and suddenly burst out laughing.
"The devil is coming, and the world will become a dark purgatory, and all will die when purgatory comes. Hahahaha, Peter, do you think that a so-called divine envoy can prevent the resurrection of the demon king? I tell you, don't be delusional! The Demon King Lucifer, the only god in this world, has been silent for so long that you all think Satan is dead. But, hahaha, Satan is immortal, he is just dormant, and he will be resurrected. When the time comes, let alone you poor worms, even the old fellow of the Lord will not be able to stop the Demon King from turning this world into purgatory! Wait, retribution is coming! Hahahaha......"
Seeing Marco Brightman's face gradually become distorted, everyone was shocked and angry.
