"The corpses were found in a stinking ditch outside the city gates, and at first the little merchant thought that some of the treasures had been accidentally lost, but in fact they were fragments of armor," said the autopsy officer, with an excited glint in his eyes, as if he had discovered something rare and new. After I carefully cleaned and examined them, I found that all the bones on their bodies were broken, and each piece was broken evenly, as if they had been carefully beaten with a delicate little hammer, and I used to do this with dogs in my hometown, because they were very fond of eating bone dregs, and their muscles were completely broken, and they could be easily cut open with a knife, like cutting a hot cream cake, and ......"

"All right!" said Pope Piluca II, waving his hand, stopping the other from continuing to use his imagination, "I just want to know, what kind of weapon or attack can cause such damage?"

The autopsy officer shook his head, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for my ignorance, I can only be sure that the two Templars died suddenly in a very short period of time, but it is really impossible to judge how it was caused, and the place where they were found is not the place where they were killed, and there are few clues." 【Fengyun Reading Network.】Reading books at zero o'clock"

Pituka II nodded majestically and asked slowly, "No one else should know about this matter, right?"

The autopsy officer bowed and said, "I am only responsible to His Majesty the Pope, and as for the others, I don't think they need to know." ”

"Good," said Beduka II with a hint of relief on his face, "go down, and if you find anything, report it in time." ”

"As you wish. Retirement, Your Majesty. ”

The hall soon became empty, and only Pidoca II was left alone, and he was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you think?"

The blonde boy spun out from behind his seat. As usual, he sat down at the steps of Pilduca II's chair and smiled, "It seems that we Templars have met an opponent as difficult as they are. ”

The Pope frowned. "Two people died at once. ”

The blonde boy smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's just two guys who can barely be regarded as low-level talents, if they meet an experienced opponent." The result is also reasonable. ”

Biduka II's face darkened. In his opinion. These people dare to be presumptuous in front of the temple. Killed the Templar Knights sent to him. Naturally, they directly flouted their own authority. That's what he really can't tolerate. And he was afraid that behind this incident there was a conspiracy against the Holy See or himself. Therefore, I still attach great importance to it.

The blonde boy was silent when he saw that Pildoca II. Reading the book at zero o'clock, he seemed to guess the latter's thoughts. smiled: "This matter can only be investigated secretly." His Holiness the Pope, if you will. A suitable person may be appointed to conduct a thorough investigation. We locals just need to watch from the sidelines. ”

Pidoca II was surprised: "Send another man?"

"Bishop Lantiston. I think I'm the right person. "Landiston?" Biduca II pondered. And he said, "Is it appropriate?"

"It's a perfect fit. The blonde boy nodded and smiled, "It's good to do that." Bishop Lantiston has lived in the temple since the conquest of Shaloman, and has not moved. Recently, he has become more and more influential. And it seems that he is planning some big move. Since this matter is tricky. It's a little bit related to him. Then it's just an excuse to let him leave the temple for a while. ”

Biduca II's cloudy eyes suddenly sparkled. Nod in agreement. "That's a good idea. Presumably with the ability of the Monk Landiston. Regardless of whether or not the mastermind behind the scenes can be found. I don't have the heart to worry about other things for the time being. ”

The blonde boy smiled slightly, he patted his knee lightly and said, "The decision on the new head monk is imminent, and Brother Lantistan's attitude is not clear, and we can't make this use of him too obvious." ”

"There is nothing wrong with this," said Biduka II, waving his hand, "although Bishop Rantiston disagrees with us on some issues, and is too close to that old fellow, he is still a native of our Holy See after all, and his personal honor is now tied to the success or failure of the Holy See, so he will not destroy himself." ”

The blonde boy glanced at Pildoca II in surprise, as if he had known him for the first time, and his slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then nodded thoughtfully. But by this time, the departed autopsy had returned under the guidance of his attendants, and the blonde boy had calmly walked behind the seat of Pidoca II and hid his figure.

"Your Majesty," the autopsy officer hurriedly saluted, "I was only concerned with examining the corpses, but my assistant discovered that the insignia of the two Templars was fake. ”

"Fake?" said Pildouca, stunned.

"Yes, no wonder even the armor was twisted and shattered into that shape, I never understood the real reason, and now I know that they should have taken the real badge off, and then only made a fake, and then deliberately knocked it mixed in the armor, if it wasn't for my assistant's special preference for the badge, this small detail would have been overlooked, this is my negligence, please punish Your Majesty. The autopsy knelt on the ground, looking guilty.

"What do they want the coat of arms for?" the Pope was puzzled, the Templar Knights' badges had no special use other than to identify themselves, nor could they exercise any rights, and no bishop in the diocese paid attention to them.

The blonde young man, who was leaning back against the seat of Pidoca II, narrowed his eyes slightly, and whispered: "Although it is useless, there will be no one to restrict their movements, they ...... Want to get out of town!"

Pilduca II stood up from his seat, he sneered, waved the sleeve of his robe, and said, "I have decreed that no Templar knight should leave the center of the Holy See even half a step. ”

The blonde boy opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Pope Pilduca II's edict was delivered to Luo Lan, he looked unexpected.

After returning to the center of the Holy See, he kept making excuses for not returning to the fiefdom, both to delay the reform of the diocese of Bethlehem. At the same time, it is also to monitor the Council of the Dead and deal with the possible chaos that may occur next, but things are coming one after another, and the open and secret struggle for the seat of the monk will not be talked about for the time being. Although it seemed like a small accident on the surface, he instinctively felt it. I'm afraid this is not so simple, and it may be related to the previous two things.

In such a situation, he really cannot sit on the sidelines, even if he cannot take the situation into his own hands. Try to make it work in your favor.

He picked up the edict and looked at it, and in order not to make his intentions too obvious, Pidoca II stated on this parchment that all the clergy who had been worthy of him when he conquered Sharoman were under his command, and also allowed him to mobilize the Templar swordsman guards in the outer areas during the investigation, and the conditions could be said to be quite generous.

"Your Excellency. The pastor you summoned has arrived. The attendant knocked at the door.

Luo Lan perked up and said, "Pass him in." ”

"My lord," Mehamus, the head of the Doomsday Guild branch dressed as a priest, immediately bowed as soon as he entered the door, "My lord, we have a clue. ”

Luo Lan straightened his body, and the gaze in his eyes condensed.

Even though it was safe and Mehams knew that there could be no other eavesdroppers here, he habitually looked around. Leaned forward a little. "We followed two Templars yesterday, and finally they entered the Mercenary Guild's quarters. But early this morning, their bodies were found. My lord, Charlemagne, the vice president of the mercenary union, is very suspicious, and it is likely that he is the hijacker. ”

"Hmm," Luo Lan nodded slightly, and asked, "Are there any personnel in the mercenary union's station, are there any special moves, has Charlemagne been to other places?"

Mehamston paused, then shook his head and said: "No, since we mobilized manpower to monitor last night, it has been very calm there, except for the truck transporting grain, there is no abnormal movement, we have checked, there is no problem with the truck." ”

Luo Lan smiled deeply and said, "Charlemagne is very calm, it seems that he has a great grasp and is very confident in his own strength

Mehamus hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is just one thing, we saw a very strange light in the mercenary guild yesterday evening, and the strange death of the two Templar Knights today may be related to this light. ”

Luo Lan stared at Mehams for a moment, and when the latter felt a little chill down his spine, he smiled and said, "You are very good." He slowly stood up from his seat, and Mehams only felt an invisible sense of oppression spread behind him with the figure, and he involuntarily took a step back, his breathing being a little short.

Luo Lan touched the golden cross on his chest, smiled faintly, and said, "It seems that I am going to personally meet the vice president of this mercenary guild for a while." ”

On the other side of the temple hall, the young man's mood was a little anxious, and he asked Alfred, "Lord Paladin, the Bishop said he would help me find my sister, right?"

Alfrete tried his best to show a smile that would ease the young man's heart, and reassured: "Don't worry, the city gate has been sealed, and your sister's kidnappers will not be able to escape, and the priest Evelyn has led the guards to search around the city, and I believe there will be good news soon." ”

Looking at the young man's face, which was still full of worry, Alfred sighed and said, "You can wait here in peace, and I will go out to do some business." ”

Seeing that the young man was silent, he walked to the door and thought about it, he closed the door and locked it behind his back, and then stood for a while before he was relieved to leave.

But he didn't expect that after he left, the boy jumped up from the seat, then took out a slender and tough metal wire from the leather guard on his wrist, drilled it in the lock hole a few times, and the lock popped open with a "click".

He couldn't help but rejoice, this was the technique that Captain Van had taught him in the mercenary group before, and now it was really good to try, looking outside, he showed a determined expression, no matter what, he couldn't sit here and wait for Miranda's news, and in his heart he didn't trust the bishop either, he had to go out to find it himself.

He took a priest's robe and put it on, and the young man's figure quickly disappeared into the deep corridor.
