Chapter Ninety-Five: Hot Pot Secret Meeting
Winter in Tria always comes early, and today is not a Sunday, and for the first time after recovering from her injuries, Alena has put off her day's work and retired all the clergy who followed her in a room at the back of the church.
When it was noon, Ferrante, dressed in fine armor, walked into the Church of Light with a long sword.
Anyone who met him along the way would bow down and salute and say: Captain Ferrante.
The person who can sit in this position, in addition to directly leading and commanding the Holy Knights, also holds the supreme authority of all the church knights in the entire empire, even the church knights in the three principalities.
It can be said that in the entire church, in addition to Alena and the chief judge of the Inquisition, even the cardinals in those places are half a level lower than him.
It can be calculated that since Cassia accepted three people as students, to the graduation of the first batch of magic students, and after three years of conquest and killing, Ferrante is only twenty-seven years old now, and for this position, Ferrante, who still belongs to the youth, is already unprecedented.
But he didn't have any thoughts of cowering at this, he was now a sixth-level magician, and this position was bought with strength and blood, and he was at ease.
Besides, Alena and Sophia are three years younger than him, aren't they also the Pope of Light, the deputy chief inquisitor of the Inquisition?
With an important piece of news in his heart, Ferrante walked inside the church as if no one was there, and the sound of armor trampling the ground rattled.
As he approached the rear of the church, he was stopped by a cardinal, who was resident at the church headquarters.
Sophia's choice to enter the Inquisition three years ago was equivalent to giving up the position of cardinal, which naturally required someone else to step up.
"Head Ferrante, the Pope is inside, and no one will let anyone in. ”
Ferrante glanced at him, did not speak, and walked into the room with his sword in hand.
The cardinal was stunned for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, if there is anyone in the limelight in the church now, it must be this Ferrante leader.
Ferrante closed the door and walked towards the side room, which was especially warm compared to the cold outside.
Before Ferrante, who entered the side room, could speak, he was stunned at the door, and saw a pot of mushroom pots on the table in the room, and there were a lot of shabu-shabu and meat slices around.
Alena did not have a crown on her head, but she was wearing a papal robe, and she was rolling up her sleeves and mixing dipping sauce.
"Your hair wasn't that long back then, and now it's almost falling into the bowl. The corners of Ferrante's mouth curled slightly, and he stepped in.
"There is no way, the people outside are watching, so I can only wear this dress, but fortunately I left the crown in the main hall. ”
"It's disrespectful to the gods. ”
"Didn't the teacher say that no matter how powerful an external object is, it can't show respect for the gods. ”
Ferrante smiled helplessly, then sank his face, tapped the blade of the sword, touched his chest with one hand, and saluted Alena: "Your Majesty the Pope." ”
Alena raised her head and blinked, stirring the sauce in her hand without stopping, and a few hairs did fall from the white papal robes.
She just looked at Ferrante silently, with an inexplicable smile on her lips.
"Hehe......" Ferrante shook her head, "Alena." ”
"Here, try my craft, though I haven't mixed a sauce in a long time. ”
Ferrante smiled and untied the ruby sword at his waist, and sat down at the table to dip a bite of the sauce he had just made.
"It's still the same taste, huh...... You know I'm coming?"
Alena raised her eyebrows: "Didn't I ask someone to send you a letter?"
Ferrante put down the bowl and pouted, "I've been living in a camp lately, and I guess Sophia will receive your letter." ”
"You've just gotten married. ”
"The war has just ended, and there are so many things...... It's not much to do. ”
"I think it's my business that is the most. The voice came from the door, and Sophia, who was dressed in a long skirt, walked in, "So you're going to eat hot pot today?"
Alena nodded, Sophia has become very good recently, no longer so cold and unkind, but both Alena and Ferrante know that her hatred for the Aeolus Church has never diminished.
"Sophia, it's been a long time since I've seen you in a long dress. Alena set the dishes and said with a smile.
"There is no such thing as a dress in the Inquisition. Sophia reluctantly walked to Ferrante's side, "It's boiling, let's start!Ferrante, why are you still wearing this armor?"
Ferrante pointed at Alena, "Don't you think it's weirder to wear the papal robe with sauce?"
The three of them suddenly looked at each other in silence, and then laughed out loud at the same time.
In winter, hot pot, the three of them, the days seem to have returned to the time when the teacher was still there, when the class was finished at night, the three of them would always have a hot pot meal in the lobby, and then they would go to bed honestly.
As Ferrante said, the sauce prepared by Alena still tasted the same thing, and the three of them coincidentally avoided the ups and downs of the past few years, and the conversation was full of memories from the escape of Sears to the departure of the teacher.
It wasn't until halfway through the hot pot that the three of them fell silent at the same time, and Ferrante swallowed a mouthful of shabu and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Alena.
"Kayadir is about to change. ”
They both looked up at the same time, waiting for Alena to continue speaking.
"Ferrante, your eldest brother has accumulated a lot of strength for the poor class with the help of glass production, and many nobles in the empire can't bear it, I received news yesterday that there has been a public confrontation between the two sides in some places in the southern provinces, but they have been suppressed by the church. ”
"I don't have anything to do with them anymore. ”
"Ferrante, that's not what I'm going to say. ”
Ferrante raised her eyebrows, took the green vegetables from the pot, and asked vaguely, "When does the church also need to stand in line?"
Of course, the church does not need to stand in line, but it cannot watch innocent believers die or die. ”
"Whew......" Ferrante put down the bowl, "My eldest brother is a very idealistic person, I didn't understand his ideas before, but now, I really admire him." ”
"It's not just your big brother who has ideals. Alena shook her head helplessly, "Your father's ideals are also not small. ”
Ferrante and Sophia looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
Alena continued: "The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rono, has already won over many nobles, and even the clergy of the church are not a few......
"So ......?"
"He wants this throne. ”
Ferrante's face changed suddenly: "This can't be ......"
He wanted to continue, but suddenly stopped, because he knew very well what kind of blood he was shedding, the descendant of the Iron King, his father did have this motive.
"I don't have anything to do with him anymore, and the church doesn't have to think about what I mean. Ferrante said, shaking his head.
"The church should not be involved in this. Sophia opened her mouth.
"Yes, the Church will not be involved in this, as long as it is enough to ensure that the King of the Empire still believes in the Light. ”
Listening to Alena's words, Sophia nodded in her heart, as long as the king believes in light, the church will not care who is the king, if the king does not believe in light, then it would be good to change his faith, there are not a few records of this kind of thing in the inquisition books.
"He will believe in the ...... of light," Ferrante muttered, and he was sure that the descendants of the Iron King would be a staunch believer in the God of Light.
"So today, in addition to the fact that we haven't eaten hot pot together for a long time, there is also the fact that I am afraid of Ferrante......"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I've said it, I have nothing to do with him anymore. ”
Alena pursed her lips and nodded, and poured some shabu into the pot again, "And those church personnel who have been co-opted, don't startle the snake now, and deal with it after the matter is over." ”
"Give me the list of personnel first, and the court will monitor it in advance. Sophia said.
"By the way, I actually have news for you today. Ferrante straightened up, and his face began to become serious, "The Church of the Anemo God seems to be making some big moves again. ”
Sophia glanced at him, "I don't know, where did you get the news?"
"It's my eldest brother, the scholar who invented glass, and a friend of mine in Sears wrote yesterday that the Aeolian Church has started to secretly hunt down the poor, and is also going to attack some refugees. ”
"Need a lot of living people?"
Yes, that's exactly what it says, but ...... Whether it's true or not, is unknown. ”
Alena withdrew her hand that was stunned in the air, pondered for a while and said: "Whether it's true or not, try to contact it first, but to prevent it from being the conspiracy of the other party, a large number of living people, if it is true, the Aeolus Church is indeed still unrelenting......"
"Alena, the Pope must have the majesty of the Pope, and you can't just go out of Tria anymore. Sophia shrugged.
"How do you think she has the majesty of the Pope in her current appearance?" Ferrante pointed to Alena, her white robe splashed with a lot of sauce, and a green vegetable drooping from her mouth because of contemplation.
"Okay, I'll take care of this, and I'll tell you as soon as there's any news. Ferrante exhaled and continued to pick up the shabu in the hot pot.
And Alena sucked the green vegetables into her mouth and glanced at the two of them: "This matter is not simple, Ferrante, you have to deal with it carefully, and Sophia, you can't transfer people to Sears without authorization!"
"I know, I know, to be a pope is to talk a lot. ”
"Don't worry, I'...... How did you finish the meat?!"
