Chapter 893: The Pope Dies
The papal office is noble and luxurious, revealing blatant extravagance, and no one will think that it is inappropriate, because the pope is unworldly, and no matter how noble the ornament is, it is only an ornament.
Dressed in a moon-white robe, Paul stood at the large desk and spoke warmly to a black-clad attendant.
This black-clothed attendant is named Angelo, with an angular face, a pair of beautiful azure eyes, and a tall and handsome figure. He was also the next head of the Templar Order, and after Thomas, he would be the next Cardinal.
Not everyone can become a black cardinal, in addition to the absolute loyalty of the faith to the Holy See and the Pope, the same must undergo the strict assessment of **. If you can't pass the physique, you won't be able to withstand the golden holy water, and naturally you won't be able to become a black-clothed bishop who will make the blood clan fearful.
The strict selection was not only one in a million, but also extremely secretive, and even the chosen ones did not know that they had undergone a painful assessment, and that they were the current head of the Templar Order.
This is how Angelo became a papal attendant, he felt honored to be a papal attendant, and he always thought that he was just an ordinary papal attendant, just like his colleagues, just an ordinary member of the papal acolyte.
Angelo didn't think he was anything special, but this time he was a little flattered and was actually received by the Pope in person, and alone.
He had never spoken so closely to His Majesty the Pope, and he was extremely excited, and his words and deeds were very pious, which could be seen that he had great respect for His Majesty the Pope in his heart, and he was worthy of being a strictly selected loyal believer.
Angelo did not know that he would soon receive the special baptism of the papal scepter, and after the real baptism, he would become the quasi-successor of the black cardinal.
If Thomas hadn't been mad this time. Angelo is afraid that he may not have this opportunity, and perhaps as the two of them get older, the position of the black bishop may be given to a younger person.
But Thomas had already gone berserk once, and if he had a second time, he would have fulfilled his mission on earth and would be summoned by God. If that happens, the temporary clinging to the Buddha is afraid of accidents, so the matter of the successor of the cardinal Paul has already begun to implement, once Thomas has an accident. Angelo was able to rise to the top immediately, which is why Paul summoned Angelo alone.
Of course, Paul has not yet told Angelo the truth, and he will not do so for the time being, even if Angelo has been baptized. He won't let Angelo know before he takes the position, and now he is just beginning to cultivate the relationship between the two parties, which can also be said to be a re-investigation.
His Majesty the Pope's voice is very kind and kind, like an elder talking to his junior, caring about the study, work and living conditions of the junior, and exchanging feelings in a serious way.
Rava led Lin Zixian to the door, and Paul saw it. Interrupted the emotional exchange with Angelo, approved the two of them to come in, turned around and sat behind the wide desk, and raised his hand to signal Lin Zi to sit down.
Angelo immediately helped Lin Zi move the chair in front of the desk. Lin Zixian sat down calmly. Paul looked at Rava and Angelo, waved his hand, and motioned for the two to go out, and he wanted to have a private chat with Lin Zi.
The two exited the office. Angelo closed the heavy double doors of his office.
The Pope and the Cardinal sat across a desk facing each other, the former examining the latter for a moment. Straight to the point: "Caesar, how much do you know about the situation of the blood clan in Huaxia?" I hope you'll tell me everything you know. ”
Lin Zixian's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and he said with a humorous smile: "It's really interesting, Bishop Rava asked me the same thing before." ”
Paul furrowed his eyebrows slightly and said, "Rava also asked?" ”
Lin Zixian raised his eyebrows slightly, everyone knew who they were, there were no outsiders in the room, Lin Zixian didn't pretend to be a pious god, leaned back on the chair relaxedly, and said casually: "You guys are really interesting, one thing always has to make me say it over and over again." What I reported to you on the phone, Bishop Rava asked me to report to him again, and he didn't seem to know about the madness and was more concerned. The fact that the golden holy water can make people go crazy and turn into werewolves, are there very few people in the Holy See who know about it? After speaking, he watched the other party's expression change.
Who knew that Paul looked unusually calm, his expression did not change, and he said indifferently: "There are indeed not many people who know, Rava was sent by me to learn about the situation from you, and if someone asks in the future, I hope you can keep it secret, otherwise you should know what the consequences will be after letting the blood clan know." ”
Lin Zixian is not a pure fool to be able to mix up today, and it will not be so easy to believe if he is already suspicious, but Paul and Rava are singing and harmonizing, and he doesn't know what the two are doing, in short, it just feels a little wrong.
So, Paul's next question, Lin Zixian's answer left a lot of leeway, and he didn't want to
People don't even know if they sell it......
In a villa in Huaxia, Prince Clarke, standing in front of the window, watched the lights of the distant city, and the butler Blaise was updating him on the situation.
After listening to the report, there was a 'bang', and Clark, who had always been calm, suddenly punched a hole in the wall with a punch, his expression was a little distorted, and he seemed to be extremely annoyed.
Blaise bowed slightly and said, "My lord, everyone is waiting for you in the living room downstairs." ”
Clark exhaled slowly, quickly calmed down, the expression on his face quickly returned to normal, turned around and strode out of the room, and said, "Let Enoch re-elect a leader to join us, warn them not to civil strife at this time, and the strongest person will take office, otherwise I will punish him severely." ”
"Okay." Blaise bowed back.
Clark came downstairs to the living room, where there were only eight of the nine clan leaders left, and Enoch had been torn in half by Thomas. Most of the people's faces are not very good-looking, and it is obvious that they have not completely recovered from the last shock.
Auston had a small mirror in his hand, and was tilting his head from side to side to look at the two whiskers on his lips, and the burnt beard had grown back in a short time, and it was beautifully trimmed.
After Clark sat down next to him, he stared into the mirror and smiled, "Clark, what makes you so angry?" ”
Everyone also looked at Clark, and obviously heard the sound of the 'bang' punch just now. Blaise upstairs must not dare to make such a big noise, and it must be Clarke who dares to lose his temper like this, just guess.
Alexander, who was sitting down, couldn't help but sigh because Clark was also thinking about the defeat last time: "I really didn't expect that the black-clothed cardinal turned out to be the legendary golden wolf king, I can't imagine that the golden wolf king is still alive." It's a pity that our blood clan no longer has a strong man who can compete with the golden wolf king, if the ancestors of the blood clan within three generations are still alive, there is no need to be afraid of the golden wolf king at all, and now there is almost no hope of catching Caesar from the side of the golden wolf king. ”
Clark looked at Auston, who looked indifferent and was still leisurely admiring his figure-eight beard in the mirror, and asked, "Do you know why the Golden Wolf King stopped chasing and killing others after he killed Enoch?" ”
Auston put down the mirror for a while, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Clark, I don't know how to answer you, I'm afraid this question has to be asked to the Golden Wolf King himself." After saying that, he picked up the mirror and looked at it, and he didn't know what to look at over and over again with those two broken beards.
A distorted look appeared on Clark's face slightly, and he looked around at everyone, revealing a rare look of gnashing his teeth, and said slowly: "Because he is not the Golden Wolf King at all, but the golden holy water has a madness effect similar to that of our blood clan, and it can quickly turn crazy when it encounters the danger of life, and it can only support ten minutes, and after ten minutes, it will return to its original form, and it will become extremely weak, and an ordinary child can kill him lightly." Moreover, each blackcoat can only go berserk twice in his life, and the second time he will exhaust his body energy and die. ”
Everyone was stunned, and Auston looked back at him in a daze, everyone was full of disbelief, if this was the case, wouldn't everyone suffer a big loss when they were scared and fled last time? If you kill the carbine again, you can not only kill the blackcoat, but also capture Caesar in one fell swoop, but the opportunity is missed?
Clark continued in a hoarse voice: "If I'm not mistaken, the legend of the Golden Wolf King is just a rumor spread by the Holy See to deter the Blood Clan, the so-called Golden Wolf King used to fight for the Holy See, but in fact, it was all an illusion created by the Black Cardinal after using the golden holy water to go berserk, our Blood Clan has been deceived for more than a thousand years, damnable!" ”
Auston completely put away the mirror in his hand and frowned, "Clark, are you sure so?" ”
Clark sneered: "Caesar has sent the weakened cardinal to the Vatican, and within a week, the papal scepter will be able to restore the cardinal to its original state." ”
Everyone looked at each other, wondering how he could be so clear about what was happening inside the Vatican. Auston squinted and said, "Clark, is there an undercover agent for you inside the Holy See?" And the status would not be too low, otherwise such news would not have been known. ”
Clark didn't want to answer this question, and was about to divert the topic, when Blaise upstairs suddenly ran down and smiled at everyone a little gaffe: "The Pope is dead!" Pope Paul is dead! ”
The sudden news was a little difficult for everyone to accept, and although Blaise said it clearly and everyone understood it, it was still a little unresponsive.
A group of people stood up in unison, and Clark and Auston were no exception, and Clark asked quickly and rarely, "Blaize, are you sure?" ”
Blaise gave him a look that you understand, and nodded again and again: "My lord, the news he just came, just half an hour ago, Paul died of a sudden illness, and now the Holy See has blocked the news, and is not ready to announce the news until the cause of Paul's death is ascertained." ”
