Rude!

Hathaway had now seen how rude the people of the Nature Church were...... I remember the unicorn knights when I first met, although they were arrogant, but they were not rude, at least they were still like knights, but the priest in front of them didn't look like a clergyman at all.

"Lord Bourdo, is Bishop Beyoncé missing?"

According to the normal situation, the status of the priest must be higher than that of a team leader, but Hathaway doesn't care what the status is, she only knows that this person is rude, so as soon as she turned her head, she directly talked to Bourdo, which made the already gloomy face of the Neva priest immediately black as the bottom of a pot.

"Yes, Lord Count." A look of gratitude flashed in Bourdo's eyes, but the answer was brief.

Priest Neva stepped forward, his eyes full of suspicion: "Your Excellency, how did you know that Bishop Beyoncé was missing?" ”

Hathaway rolled her eyes and looked at the somewhat angry priest with an idiotic look: "Your Excellency Bourdo said that someone is missing, and you asked me if I knew Bishop Beyoncé, does this answer still need to be sorted out?" ”

Priest Neva was stunned for a moment, forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and after scanning his eyes around the room, he said coldly: "Your Excellency, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Hathaway apologized insincerely, "I met His Excellency Bishop Beyoncé just last night...... Well, it seems to be a bar, and there was Leonardo at the time. Count of Beirut. ”

"According to our investigation, you and the Count of Beirut were the last people to meet His Excellency the Bishop......"

"I'm sorry. Excuse me. ”

Hathaway unceremoniously interrupted Priest Neva's words, ignored his face, and said, "Your Excellency, we just chatted a few words and left, as far as I know, His Excellency the Bishop did not leave the bar at that time, and it was definitely not the two of us who met in the end. ”

"I wonder where you went after that?" Priest Neva felt that he was about to explode, but he did not think about how rude it was to interrupt the conversation before.

"You are not a judge of the Empire, nor are you a police department, when will the people of the Natural Church be able to interrogate the nobles of the Empire? Well?! Hathaway's face turned cold. Even the air in the room seemed to be getting colder.

"You ......"

The Neva priest's eyes were turning green. I don't know what to say with my eyes stared...... Although he was arrogant, he also knew that by virtue of his status, he was a count with real power in the empire. It's really nothing. But in normal times, everyone has to take into account their identity. Even those with a higher rank than Hathaway were polite when they spoke to him. How could he ever be so rude?

"Forget it, for the sake of the relationship between the empire and the church, I don't care so much."

Hathaway sighed softly. "Yesterday I took my farewell to His Excellency the Count of Beirut, and went to another bar for a while, and then went back to our lodgings to rest. As for this period of time,"

She spread her hands: "Because I am anxious to meet His Majesty, my attendants have all stayed in Heidelberg, and if you want to find someone to witness, I don't know where to find it." ”

This is clearly a provocation, and the Neva priest was so angry for a while that his eyes were like goldfish, but he didn't know what to do.

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Bourdo next to him hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, I was on duty here last night, and I haven't gone out since the Earl came back." ”

"Hmph."

Priest Neva snorted softly in his nose and said, "In that case...... Excuse me, Earl, and we'll see you another day. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left with two knights with a gloomy face.

"Excuse me, Lord Earl." Bourdo greeted Hathaway apologetically, and hurriedly turned around and left with Priest Neva and the others.

"Huh, what's going on?"

The door is not closed, Leonardo. Beirut's voice rang out, and as he walked in, he glanced back at the Neva priest and the others who had just walked out, "They came here about the disappearance of the Bishop?" ”

"Yes, they came to ask me about the whereabouts of the bishop."

Hathaway slammed the door shut, "The people of the church are so rude, could it be that their bishop has disappeared, and all the nobles have become the object of their suspicion?" ”

"The clergy always have a ......"

Leonardo. Beirut shrugged his shoulders: "The superiority of the gods, especially if it is a bishop who has disappeared this time, if something really happens, I am afraid he will not be angry for long." ”

"Maybe the bishop just went out by chance." Hathaway said tentatively.

"Yes, she went out, and the guard at the gate of the manor saw her riding out last night, but she never returned. And last night there was a fierce magic duel more than ten miles away from the manor, and the royal magician took people to explore the site and found that there was a strong magical aura in it. And the bishop's ring was found in the grass...... Bishop Beyoncé is dead. ”

Speaking of the latter sentence, Leonardo. Beirut lowered its voice.

He's dead?

Hathaway had a confused look on her face: "It can be kidnapping, or...... Is it unintentionally falling off in an emergency, how can it be dead? ”

"Hehe, you don't know this."

Leonardo. Beirut smiled and said, "The bishopric ring and the priest's ring of the Natural Church were given by the Pope to represent their divine status. At any time, they will not give up this ring even if they give up their lives, unless it is an accident. And the ring has the wearer's breath of life, and if the owner dies, the breath of life on it will disappear. ”

"Oh." Hathaway was a little annoyed, she really didn't notice when the bishop had taken the ring off. Thankfully, she shouldn't have had time to pass on more information, otherwise she wouldn't have been a priest. Even so, she wasn't going to stay any longer.

"Earl, by the will of His Majesty the Emperor, this time it is up to me to deal with you with the refugee relocation incident. Shouldn't we talk about it? "Leonardo. Beirut said in a different way.

"That's great. However, I still have some things to attend to in Heidelberg. Hathaway said.

"I also need to make some preparations before I go on a long journey, Earl, this is my address in Heidelberg, if you are ready, please send someone to this address to deliver a message." Leonardo. Beirut was very low-key, writing an address for Hathaway.

**********

Heidelberg hadn't had a drop of rain for three months, and the dry air was extremely uncomfortable for the nasal cavities. Besser and Chania. When Lusso walked out of 2 Rue Saint Laurent, he subconsciously glanced back. Fei Wenlie didn't even send them downstairs, just two servants respectfully escorted them out, but they also stopped at the door.

I don't know if it's a delusion, Chania. Lusso always felt that the building behind him exuded a rotten smell, which made people smell very uncomfortable. He believed that Parvey beside him. Bitsher felt the same way, otherwise his face wouldn't be so ugly.

Without saying a word, he boarded the carriage and left the luxurious mansion on sparkling wheels. No sooner had the carriage stepped out of the door than the door slammed shut behind them, but they both knew that somewhere in the mansion there must be a pair of eyes watching them.

"Parvi, why did the Second Highness do this?" Chania. Lusso asked, frowning.

"Interests. It's not that you don't know how much benefit those fireworks and magic wands bring, although there are many people copying them at present, but the best producer is still that one, of course, His Royal Highness wants to completely control it. "Parvi. Bitsher sighed softly.

"But His Highness miscalculated. Count Bell not only gained a firm foothold in the Cordillera Plateau, but also became more and more favored by His Majesty the Emperor, in this case, as long as she took the contract to do things, even if His Royal Highness had great power, there was no way. To make matters worse, we lost the basis for further cooperation with her. "Chania. Lusso sighed again.

"Not necessarily." Parvi. Bisher blinked.

"Oh?" Chania. Lusso was puzzled.

Parvi. Bitser looked at the other party and made a wise old man's posture and analyzed: "For business behavior, profit is the premise of a qiē business activity. Count Bell made such a big move when she didn't have a territory before, and now she has a territory entirely, and as long as we pay a sufficient price, we will definitely get a corresponding return. ”

Chania. Lusso had an excited look on his face and said, "What price should we pay?" ”

"What does the Cordillera need right now? Jinla? Person? Craftsman? ”

Parvi. Besser gave an example one by one, and his face showed a little excitement, "Regardless of the commercial investment, the Cordillera Plateau is a rich mineral, and we brought the funds over to not only solve her urgent needs, but also bring us huge benefits." The most important thing is that as you and me, investing in the Cordillera territory can also play a somewhat protective role invisibly, at least ordinary people would not dare to fight the idea of the Cordillera territory. ”

Chania. Luso touched the soft fuzz on his lips, and he glanced at Parve. Bitsher, laughed dryly, "That's, of course, obvious. But what about the Second Highness's side? ”

"Your Highness will understand, it's the rules of the game. And there we have the role of lubricating oil in it. ”

Parvi. Biser said calmly: "Now that the countess's market is rising, there are already many people thinking about marrying and wooing her, in this case, the second highness must not part ways with the earl, otherwise it can only cheapen other princes." His Royal Highness is just temporarily angry, and when he calms down, he will know how to make a trade-off. (To be continued......)
