Chapter 409: The undercurrent is surging
The sky was dark, but at this moment, Water Moon City was still brightly lit. The noisy night market has not subsided in the slightest, and it is still full of lights and wine.
Although the war has spread all over the continent, gradually eroding the land of the Empire of Light, and the internal contradictions have also escalated to the top, which can be described as a turbulent undercurrent, everyone who understands some truth knows that now the entire empire has been divided into two and become two independent existences. The entire Empire of Light can be described as turbulent, but as long as it is night, Water Moon City is still the same Water Moon City as before, it has not deteriorated at all, and it has not changed anything because of these reasons.
It was with the help of such a night that Long Aotian and Luo Lin walked out of the inn where they lived and walked towards a huge palace of the church in the distance, if it was before, then this palace could be regarded as the headquarters of the church in the city of light, but now it is different, after falling out with the empire, this side has become the first gathering place of the church, and has become their center.
"What? Our people are gone, what the hell is going on!" At this moment, in a luxurious wing room in that palace, an old man shouted in a deep voice to a few middle-aged people in front of him. Judging by his red robes and iconic scepter, he is a cardinal. Now, the people in his mouth are still very important, otherwise they wouldn't be furious because of their disappearance.
Seeing that this old man was angry, several people below lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word, for fear of provoking the fire at this time and leading the fire to themselves.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on, was it discovered by Bes, so she did it?" After a moment of silence, he slowly let go of his tightly frowning brow, and the old man took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions and asked.
That's right, the three people sent out to follow Bis this morning are his henchmen, because for a period of time, there have been some major events within the church, especially the strange deaths of several archbishops for no reason, but there is no clue who the murderer is, and after receiving the orders of the lord above, they decided that there should be a traitor inside, and the status is not low, you must know that the archbishop's residence is not to mention how tightly defended, but their concealment alone is enough to discourage many people with different thoughts, and the murderer is accurate three times and twice is the target, it can be seenIf it weren't for the fact that someone was secretly directing, this would not have happened. And that person's status is very high, and he can calmly know where anyone lives.
In the end, after eliminating a few henchmen, the remaining archbishops, two cardinals, and even the Holy Virgin Bis were all included in the target of attention, hoping to find the traitor! But could such a mistake on the first day of the plan make the old man in charge of the operation angry?
This operation is not just to catch the murderer, I believe that the Pope has been chosen, a cardinal bishop will join the presbyterian church, at that time, there is a vacant position of cardinal, as the most promising he, naturally at this time he must do a good job of the things that have been explained by the above, and only in this way can he add more chips to himself, he does not want any problems at such a juncture.
"No, our other group of people have been following the Holy Maiden since she left Midtown, and they didn't find anything wrong, they didn't make any unusual moves, and the people who were originally ambushed in our city before leaving the city also said that they didn't see the Holy Maiden and the three of them have any positive confrontation, so it won't be her!" Seeing that the old man's anger finally began to decline slightly, the middle-aged people breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly.
"It's not her, who could it be, is Bis really so innocent?, but I've noticed a little strange about her whereabouts recently, is it all my hallucination?" Hearing the return of the middle-aged man in front of him, the old man frowned again and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Do you know what the three of them did in the last thing they did in the city, and who they came into contact with?"
Then the old man, as if he had thought of something, continued to ask.
"In the end, they had a verbal altercation with two outsiders in the city, and the two sides fought again," the middle-aged man continued, after pondering for a moment, telling all the things that happened on the streets of Midtown this morning, hoping to bring a little help to the old man.
"Well, according to what you say, although those two people are very suspicious, it seems that they don't have the strength and ability to do such a thing! Who is it? Could it be him? How could he value the three of them!"
All the questions made the old man fall into silence, and a man slowly paced to the edge of the chair and thought quietly, but even if he racked his brain, he couldn't think of a reason.
"Forget it, you go back and give me a careful inquiry about this matter, you can't miss any clues, you must know the answer, and Bez's side still can't let down your vigilance, you must also monitor me well, and report to me immediately if you have any moves! Dawson, you stay, and the rest of the people go out first!"
"Do you have any orders?" Dawson slowly walked to the old man's side and asked respectfully, after everyone had withdrawn.
"This period of time is very difficult, you pay attention to yourself, I may be about to take the position, when the time comes, you are a strong competitor in this position, I will support you rest assured, as the youngest archbishop now, you are also the most promising, you have a good grasp of it, so this matter must be done well, this will be a good bargaining chip for you, if you do a good job, I believe that the title of cardinal is yours!"
A fine light flashed in his eyes, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, the old man said earnestly, as if his words came from the bottom of his heart, and Dawson on the side of the words nodded and thanked him again and again.
"Well, my subordinates know that they will not disappoint the adults!"
"Well, okay, it's good that you know, there's nothing more to do, you go down!"
With a wave of his hand, the old man motioned for Dawson to leave first, and it seemed that there was something else waiting for him to do.
Slowly exiting the old man's room, the middle-aged man's eyes changed immediately after leaving the door of the room, and he looked disdainfully towards the door that had been tightly closed, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile rather than a smile.
"Great hope?" he laughed self-deprecatingly after repeating this sentence with a wry smile, he knew that the old guy's words were the least to be trusted, maybe he couldn't trust a stranger either, otherwise you wouldn't know when you would be so willing that you wouldn't even have a bone left.
As for this sentence, it is just to buy people's hearts, maybe how many people he has said this sentence to!
"Bees, it looks like I'm going to give you a hint, otherwise if something really goes wrong, won't our plan fail? I've been enduring this old fellow's hands for more than ten years, it's time to break free!"
Immediately, I saw him slowly walking forward, silently reciting in his heart.
Dawson has his own thoughts, but what about the old man inside? After Dawson left, the corners of his mouth also showed a sneer: "Dawson, you want to be the cardinal, hehe, it seems that this time it won't work, isn't it?
At this time, his expression was also completely different from the one just now, with a hint of gloom in the cold, giving people a terrifying feeling, and he couldn't feel the existence of that bright aura at all.
"It seems that their church is chaotic enough, hehe, what a stage!"
Neither of them may have noticed that behind their backs, in the darkness, there were two figures tightly hidden in the darkness, and one of them said with a sneer after everything was quiet.
"It's more complicated than we thought, isn't it? It seems that this trip is deep enough, it is worthy of a pool of water that has been brewing for thousands of years!"
A man in black on the other side also replied with a sigh.
"Let's get moving?" asked the first person to speak after a while, and at the same time, his face was filled with an expression of eagerness, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, the opening scene had been done for a few days, and today he was finally going to start slowly entering the topic, and he was naturally a little excited in his heart.
"Wait, it's still early, let's start when the lights go out!" A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and another man in black narrowed his eyes slightly, and the whole person gently lay in the grass behind him, enjoying a rare leisure in a narrow sense, and it also attracted the strong dissatisfaction of the man in black who was eager to try it around, staring at the guy on the ground fiercely, but he didn't know what to say. So I had to lie down after staring for a while!
No one would have known that an imminent storm had begun to brew. Of course, these two people who are brewing a conspiracy are Long Aotian and Luo Lin! With the help and news of Bis, they hid here smoothly, and with the help of super strength, they dodged many levels and ambushed outside today's target room, which is relatively safe here! Because the strong guards are guarding this courtyard in a more peripheral place, they must have no time to care about the internal affairs.
