Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the second day. Regardless of what many high-ranking members of the Holy See had in mind, Arroyo's banquet for Kelly went ahead as scheduled.
Arroyo is one of the four Knights of Light of the Western Holy See, a high-ranking position, and Kelly is his only daughter, although the banquet has a different purpose, the scene is still very grand. The entire villa is brightly lit and a long bright red carpet stretches from the villa gate to the villa lobby. In the palatial and splendid hall, hung with delicate blue palace lamps, tassels that fluttered slightly, with a glittering floor and a low-hanging velvet blue drapery, long tables were placed inside the hall, covered with snow-white tablecloths, and filled with all kinds of delicious food and silver cutlery.
Although the banquet had not yet officially begun, most of the invited high-ranking members of the Holy See arrived early. These people are all familiar with each other, but most of them perform their own duties on weekdays, and unless the relationship is good, even if they meet for official business, there are not many private meetings at banquets like today. Therefore, a group of people chatted eagerly. In addition, dozens of servants dressed in servant costumes were busy shuttling back and forth inside and outside the hall, and the banquet scene was very lively.
This is because Arroyo only invited the insiders of the Holy See for some special reasons at this banquet, and did not go out publicly, otherwise with Arroyo's status, I am afraid that many powerful and high-class figures in the entire city of Rome will hear about it, and the scene is not something that can be described by the word lively.
As the host and protagonist of the banquet, Arroyo and Kelly naturally attended in full costume. Arroyo wore a silver-white embroidered gold robe tonight, giving a sense of dignity and nobility, and a badge with a large sword and hammer crossed on his chest, which was the status badge representing the "Knight of Judgment". Kelly was wearing a green lace dress, the same green silk gloves and shawl, the only difference was the huge red rose on her chest, with her delicate appearance, it looked very eye-catching. The style of the bedroom is mainly green, and now even the party dress is green, and it seems that the beautiful Miss Kelly has an unusual preference for green.
At this time, Arroyo led Kelly with a smile and greeted her colleagues. Not far from the two, Mobbs, who was also wearing the badge of "Knight of Punishment", was also chatting and laughing with several high-ranking members of the Holy See.
Qin Yue, who was the one who treated Kellyon, also participated in the banquet at the invitation of Arroyo, but he came with the mentality of making soy sauce, and he didn't know any people here except Arroyo and Mobus, and of course, he was not interested in getting to know him. A person sat silently in an inconspicuous corner, holding a glass of red wine, and looked coldly at the boring people in front of him and said some boring words.
Perhaps it is the custom of the Western Holy See, everyone must come to the meeting with a sentence "the holy light leads us forward", and from time to time between conversations, he will also say a sentence such as "the glory of the Lord is with you and me", and what Qin Yue heard most in the entire banquet hall was what God was, what was glorious, and there was no nutrition at all, which made him feel bored.
"Hey, Lord Edros is here!" At this moment, the noise in the banquet hall suddenly decreased a lot, and everyone's eyes looked towards the door of the hall. Obviously, there should be some big man coming.
Seeing this, Qin Yue also put down his wine glass and turned his head curiously. I saw an old man in a milky white sacrificial robe, accompanied by many church seeers, slowly walking into the hall like a star and a moon. The old man is about seventy years old, his face is kind and kind, and his gestures give people a feeling of warmth, benevolence, and spring breeze, and the smile on his lips makes people can't help but have an impulse to get close.
But when Qin Yue first saw this old man, he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger, because he was keenly aware that this seemingly kind old man had brought him a sense of danger. His eyes froze, and the "exploration technique" quietly moved.

Sure enough, he is a strong man at the level of Haoqi, and his comprehensive combat power is still above him, but he doesn't seem to know this strong man named Edros, what's going on with this favorability of sixty? After probing Edros's basic information, Qin Yue frowned suspiciously. Edros, Edros, that's right! With a slight turn of thought, Qin Yue quickly understood. Yesterday, Arroyo and Mobbs did not shy away from Qin Yue when they talked to Kelly about the successor. During this time, Qin Yue remembered that Edros had been mentioned in their conversation.
I remember that they said at the time that Edros was one of the three cardinals of the Holy See, had good friendships with Arroyo and Mobbs, and was on their side. Thinking about it this way, it's probably because he cured Kelly and made Edros love his house! Qin Yue secretly guessed.
Just as Qin Yue was thinking, Edros, who had just walked into the hall, seemed to notice something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze swept straight at what Qin Yue was doing. Qin Yue's heart immediately tightened, but there was no unusual expression on his face, and he picked up the wine glass that had been placed on the table before casually, and raised it slightly in the direction of Edros.
Seeing Qin Yue's actions, Edros was slightly stunned, and then nodded at him with a smile.
"Hehe, welcome Lord Edros, may the Light be with you......" At this time, Arroyo greeted him with Kelly.
"Haha, Lord Edros, you're finally here...... "Mobbs also walked over with a smile on his face.
"The Light is with us!" Edros drew a cross on his chest, then looked at Kelly with a smile and said, "God forbid, dear little Kelly, your body has not only fully recovered, but also broken through to the so-called innate realm in the East, which is enough to prove how much the merciful Lord favors you." Edros's voice was not loud, but those present could hear it clearly.
For a moment, a thoughtful look appeared in the eyes of all the Holy See personnel. The true purpose of this banquet was well known to the high-ranking members of the Holy See present. These words seem ordinary, but at this time and place, the meaning is self-evident. Of course, the relationship between Edros and Arroyo is also known to everyone, and it is reasonable that he will support Arroyo.
"Hehe, thank you, Lord Edros." Kelly smiled, "I have always believed that the glory of the Lord will not be spared by every one of his devout people. ”
"That's right!" Arroyo nodded with a smile on his face: "It is because of the piety of my Kelly baby that I have been favored by the Lord. ”
Hearing the conversation between Arroyo and the others, Qin Yue, who was sitting alone, couldn't help but pout. What glory of the Lord? What is the favor of the Lord? If it weren't for the elixir in the summoning space, would that bullshit glory alone be able to heal people? If there is really the so-called God's favor, Kelly still needs to lie in bed for three years? However, he could only say this in his heart, otherwise, so many members of the Holy See present would have to arrest him and hang him on the cross and burn him. This kind of thing has not been done in private by the Western Holy See.
"Lord Arroyo......" While Arroyo and the others were talking to Edros, a middle-aged man in a servant's costume walked over quickly.
"Lord Edros, Lord Mobbs, Miss Kelly......" The servant first saluted respectfully to the others, and then whispered to Arroyo, "The Apostolic Council is here!" ”
"Huh?" Arroyo's eyes froze, and then, with a calm face, he smiled at Edros: "All the adults of the Pontifical Council are elders who have made great contributions to the Holy See, we should greet them in person, Lord Edros, please wait here for a while......"
"Go ahead!" Edros waved his hand gently: "With me, they don't dare to go too far." ”
"We get it!" Arroyo nodded understandingly, and then walked with Mobbs and Kelly towards the door of the hall.
As soon as they arrived at the door, more than a dozen old men in uniform white robes strode in, and the first one was Ron Edward, the president of the Pontifical Council.
"Welcome to Speaker Edward and all of you, and may the Light be with you......" Arroyo first welcomed the people of the Pontifical Council.
"See your Excellency......" Kelly also stepped forward to salute politely.
And Mobbs reluctantly squeezed out two words from his mouth with a straight face: "Welcome!" ”
"Hehe, the Light is with us...... Edward nodded with a smile on his face.
"The Light is with us......" and the other members of the Pontifical Council returned the salute.
On the surface, the two sides get along relatively well, some talk and laugh, after all, before the real "tearing of the skin", the members of the Holy See still maintain harmony, right? It's just that what the two sides think in their hearts, that's what you know, I know, and God knows!
"The banquet is about to begin, please ladies and gentlemen!" After a polite gesture, Arroyo ushered the group into the banquet hall.
