"So, Edros, why are you here?" Field didn't answer Edros's words, but just looked at him indifferently and asked.
"Me?" Edros frowned imperceptibly: "I believe that everyone present understands my intention, don't you know?" ”
"Oh? Is it? Field's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of amusement flashed across his face, and he said, "If that's the case, then I'm sorry, my intentions may be a little conflicting with yours." ”
"What do you mean, Field?" Edros's face changed suddenly. Arroyo and Mobbs, who were beside them, also sank their hearts when they heard this. Edros came to support Arroyo, and since Field said that there was a conflict with Edros's intentions, it was clear that he was on the side of the Pontifical Council.
Originally, according to Arroyo and Mobbs's arrangement, there was an 80% chance that the operation would succeed. Now, this field suddenly appeared and cut a bar, and the odds of winning were immediately reduced by more than 30%. Fortunately, there is also a Bishop of Lorifin, who is extremely disgusted with the ancient martial arts of the East, who was appeased by Mobbs with the right to appoint the successor of the "Knight of Punishment", otherwise, the two cardinals jointly supported the Pontifical Council, and this time the matter of appointing Kelly as the successor of the "Knight of Judgment" does not need to be mentioned directly.
"I think I have made it clear!" Field said lightly.
"So, you're here on purpose to go against me?" Edros's face was completely gloomy.
"No, no, no......" Field shook his head, "I don't mean to go against you, it's just that I once owed Edward a favor, and although it was a long time ago, I'm sure you should remember it." ”
"Favors?" Edros was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of surprise: "You mean that incident more than forty years ago?" ”
"Yes!" Field nodded slightly.
"No wonder ......" Edros said with a sudden face: "I said why did you suddenly intervene in this matter, it turned out that the reason......"
The conversation between the two made the people around them confused. But it is no wonder that Arroyo, the eldest of them, is only sixty years old, and most of them were teenagers more than forty years ago, not to mention the youngest Kelly, who they did not know what Field and Edros were talking about.
"Edros, my friend......" Field said with a little emotion, "It has been almost eighty years and nearly a century since the two of us realized it, and many ordinary people have not lived so long, if it is not for the necessary reasons, how can I stand on the opposite side of you?" ”
"Yes, unconsciously, so much time has passed...... "Rose who loves is also a little embarrassed: "Thinking back to the days when we fought side by side in the past, I really miss it, but ......" Speaking of this, Edros smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, speaking of which, Edward and many people in the Pontifical Council were also comrades-in-arms who fought with us for the Holy See back then, but unfortunately, time has passed, and now it is ......"
"That's it......" Field said, "Let's not interfere in today's matter, let them each settle it on their own, and we don't care about what the result is, and I think His Majesty the Pope probably means the same!" ”
"Oh?" Edros glanced at him thoughtfully, and then, turning his head to look at Andrigo on the side, asked, "Knight Andrigo, do you have any instructions from His Majesty?" As one of the four Knights of Light, Andrigo is a "holy knight", in fact, he is the Pope's personal guard, and many of the Pope's instructions and instructions are conveyed to the following through Guò Andrigo.
"His Holiness didn't have any instructions, just asked me to send him a gift to congratulate Kelly on her recovery!" As he spoke, Andrigo took out a delicate little wooden box and handed it over.
"Thank you very much Your Majesty the Pope for your kindness, and I would like to ask Master Andrigo to express my great gratitude to His Holiness the Pope on my behalf......," Kelly thanked as she respectfully took the wooden box with both hands.
Arroyo and Mobbs were a little relieved, gifts have never been popular in Western banquets, and no one else at the banquet this time brought gifts, but the Pope, as the supreme leader of the Holy See, asked the personal guard Andrigo to send a gift, and the meaning of this is naturally self-evident. At the very least, His Holiness the Pope has no objection to Kelly serving as the successor to the "Knight of Judgment". Of course, this is almost what Arroyo and Mobbs expected.
"Alas~" Seeing the gift from Andrigo, Edros sighed softly: "In that case, then Arroyo, today's matter is up to you!" "The fact that the Pope gives a gift but does not show up is already telling. No support, no opposition, as Field said, His Holiness the Pope really wants the two sides to settle the dispute on their own.
"Edros, we ......understand," Arroyo nodded solemnly. However, although they lack the support of Edros, Field will no longer favor the side of the Pontifical Council, and Field is the highest ranked of the three cardinals, both in strength and appeal are stronger than Edros, in real terms, it is Arroyo's side that has a slight advantage. It's not a big "consolation prize"!
"Okay, let's talk, I'll go to the Pontifical Council and let them know." Field gestured to Edros, then turned and walked towards the Pontifical Council.
"Arroyo, it's almost time, except for His Majesty the Pope and Lord Lorifin, everyone else has arrived, and the banquet should officially begin!" After Field left, Mobbs said to Arroyo with a solemn expression.
"Whew~" Arroyo exhaled softly, then held Kelly's little hand beside her, looked at her and said softly: "Baby, don't be nervous, follow me!" ”
"Well, father, I'm not nervous!" Compared with Arroyo and Mobs, who looked solemn, Kelly seemed more calm.
"Hehe, that's good!" Seeing her daughter's calm face, Arroyo smiled with satisfaction. Then, holding Kelly, the two slowly walked to the center of the banquet hall.
"Ahem......" Arroyo coughed lightly, attracting the attention of everyone present. In fact, he didn't have to, from the moment he and Kelly walked into the center of the banquet hall, everyone who knew the true purpose of the banquet had already focused their eyes on them.
"Thank you so much for being able to attend my daughter Kelly's celebratory feast, and may the light of my Lord always shine on all of you present......" Arroyo's resounding voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.
"The light is with us...... "A cross was drawn on their chests in unison."
"Everyone knows that my daughter Kelly was injured by Yan Zòng three years ago because of some accidents, and even His Majesty the Pope could not do anything about this injury, but under the protection of the Lord, she regained her health, thank the Lord......" followed by a lot of nonsense that the Holy See personnel took for granted but Qin Yue thought was tasteless.
“…… Praise God and praise the Lord Almighty, Amen! ”
Five minutes later, Arroyo's thanksgiving to God was over.
"Of course......" Arroyo continued, "In addition to thanking my Lord for his protection, I would like to thank a friend from the East who healed my daughter Kelly with a miraculous elixir from the East, thank you, dear Lord 'Juggernaut'! As he spoke, Arroyo took Kelly and bowed deeply in the direction where Qin Yue was.
At the same time, the eyes of everyone present also shifted to Qin Yue, who was sitting in an inconspicuous corner.
"Uh~ You just thank your Lord, what are you doing with me? I just came here to make soy sauce......" Qin Yue was speechless and secretly complained, he stayed in an inconspicuous corner just because he didn't want to attract attention, this is good, and he directly became the focus of the audience. However, the spit is complaining, everyone bows and thanks, and he can't be indifferent. Immediately, he stood up with a smile on his face and nodded at Arroyo.
After expressing his gratitude to Qin Yue, Arroyo's expression suddenly narrowed, his gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and when his gaze swept to the group of people in the Pontifical Council, he paused for a moment. This tiny detail did not hide from the bright eyes of everyone present who were watching at that moment. Seeing this situation, everyone's hearts moved, and they secretly said: The main show is about to begin!
Sure enough, in the next second, Arroyo pulled Kelly beside him to the front and said loudly: "In addition to celebrating my daughter Kelly's recovery from her injuries, I have one more thing to announce at this banquet......"
"Arroyo!" At this moment, the President of the Pontifical Council, Edward, suddenly interrupted Arroyo's words with a loud shout, and in the complicated eyes of everyone's shocked and understanding, Edward stared at Arroyo with a sword in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I want to remind you, remember your identity as a 'Knight of Judgment', remember the rules you should follow, and don't say something that is inconsistent with your identity, inconsistent with the rules, and blasphemous to the glory of my Lord!" ”
"Thank you Lord Edward for the reminder, but ......" Arroyo glanced at him coldly: "I speak and act freely, and I don't need you to do this, Lord Edward!" ”
"Very good, very good, I just hope you really have a sense of proportion in your heart......" Edward had a gloomy old face, and hung his head and said no more.
"Hmph~" Arroyo snorted coldly and ignored him anymore, turned his head and said loudly to everyone present: "I declare that under the witness of the great God, I designate my daughter Kelly to be the successor of the next 'Knight of Judgment' in the name of the current 'Knight of Judgment'......"
