Robert took Hough immediately after becoming an abbot. Hannes's former confidants were all transferred from important positions, but although Robert was of noble birth, his popularity was extremely poor, except for Sir Woodlow, who was brought from the family, few respected monks were willing to serve him, which was the fundamental reason why Robert was eager to eliminate the authority of the Wendell family.

"I thought I could make those stubborn old fellows understand who the real master of this monastery was, but now it seems that I was wrong." After listening to the renegade monk's informant, Robert's face was gloomy and terrible, his red birthmark became more and more hideous, and the informant monk felt a little trembling between his legs and thighs, and lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Robert's eyes.

"I am Your Excellency the Dean, who supports you." The informant monk hurriedly said.

"Well, I remember your loyalty, please go down, remember that you never came to me."

"Yes, yes." The informant stepped back and left quickly, feeling Robert's gaze on his back like a snake, which made him feel a cold sweat on his back, and he was impatient to leave the gloomy room.

"What do you think, Captain Rudolph?" Looking at the back of the informant monk leaving, Robert turned and said to the side door of the room, it turned out that there was another room on the side of this room, and Captain Rudolph opened the wooden door, wearing leather armor inlaid with iron plates, and a short sword pinned to his waist.

"This is your internal affair, and we are only responsible for your safety and fighting the war." Rudolph leaned against the door, grinning and holding his arm, he had no interest in the intrigues between the monks.

"Ha, do I like anything about you? You're a straightforward person, and that's fine, and I'm going to choose to take a more direct approach to these issues. Robert said to Rudolph appreciatively, and a vicious idea formed in his mind.

When night fell in a small prayer room of the monastery, Brother Barth, dressed in a gray cloak, waited anxiously, when several figures appeared from outside the dark door, in the light of only a torch, these people covered their faces with cloaks, and in the prayer room at the top of the dome, several senior monks of the Abbey of St. Francus discussed how to get Robert to dismiss the mercenaries.

"It's great that you're here, Brother Tony." Brother Barth saw one of the men who had lowered his cloak and revealed a face of vicissitudes, and he immediately greeted him and said gratefully.

"It's not a good idea to meet here, Robert's minions are everywhere, and it took me a lot of effort to get here." Brother Tony raised the fingers of his right hand and crossed his chest, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Let's get down to business, I've long said that choosing Robert as abbot is not a good idea, and now those sword-wielding mercenaries are making the holy abbey a miasma." Another monk who had lowered his cloak muttered, his face like a shriveled walnut and his sparse white hair standing on top of his head.

"Now is not the time for the Goldfrie brothers to complain, we should work together to find a way to solve the current dilemma." Brother Barth grabbed his left arm, looked him in the eye and said, under Brother Barth's fierce gaze, Brother Goldfrie had to stop complaining and nagging.

"Tell me, Brother Bart, what are we going to do?" At this time, one of the last young monks laid down his cloak, he was Brother Elvis, who was in charge of the water conservancy in the abbey, young, strong, knowledgeable, and ambitious, which made Brother Barth hesitate before informing him.

"First of all, we need to gain the support of those who are dissatisfied with Robert's unauthorized gathering of mercenaries, and as long as we have the support of the majority, we can launch a question of Robert's ability to run the monastery, and force him to dismiss the mercenaries, or remove himself from the abbot." Brother Barth walked among his companions, telling them what he had planned, hoping that they would cooperate with him in correcting the wrong choices they had made.

"Yes, I can mobilize about ten people."

"I know that there are a few monks who are dissatisfied with Robert."

"A few of my students can join us." The monks agreed with Barth's plan, and although the abbot was the leader of the entire monastery, if more than half of the monks were to oppose him, the abbot's authority would also be overturned.

"Okay, great." Bart looked at the monks' promises, and was overjoyed, as if he had seen the monastery return to its former tranquility and sanctity, and he sat down again behind the heavy oak table, complimented and honored by the other monks.

"Haluha, so you're here." At this moment, suddenly the door of the prayer room was slammed open, and Captain Rudolph walked in front, and he kicked open the wooden door and stood on the right side, his right hand pressed against the hilt of his sword at his waist, and Abbot Robert walked in with his own laughter, he was dressed as usual in his splendid robes, and his attitude was as proud as the Pope of Rome, but today it was indeed under his control.

"Robert? How did you end up here? Brother Barth and the others involuntarily took a few steps back, but behind them was a hard, cold stone wall, and the prayer room had only one entrance, no back door for them to escape.

"What? Can't I attend the meeting of the Monastery of San Fonso? Or is it because you're doing some secret conspiracy behind my back? Abbot Robert looked at the few respected monks in the monastery in front of him, although they were squeezed out of important positions by themselves, but their invisible influence was very great, and some of them were related to the bishop of the archdiocese, so how to deal with the aftermath became the biggest problem he faced.

"Well, since you already know the truth, then we will tell you directly, Robert, we chose you as the dean in the hope that you will continue to lead us to uphold the will of the Lord, not for your own selfish interests." Brother Barth stepped forward, pointed at the tip of Robert's nose, and shouted at him.

"Don't waste your efforts, today I have issued a ban, all the monks are praying to the Lord in their rooms, and your cries are not heard by anyone." Robert looked at the agitated Brother Barth in front of him, and he reached out and pushed the fingers that Brother Barth held up in front of him.

"Demons." Brother Barth's morale trembled, and suddenly he realized something, how did Robert know about their assembly, could it be that someone had betrayed them here, he couldn't help but ask, "Who betrayed us?" ”

"What do you say?" Brother Robert looked at them with a grim smile, a grim and cruel smile, and Captain Rudolph beside him took a step forward.

Brother Barth turned to look at the monks behind him, his eyes passed over the faces of these people one by one, and finally his gaze stayed on the young face of Brother Elvis, who knew the least about Brother Elvis compared to the others, and the young Brother Elvis was the person he was most worried about.

"You betrayed us?" Brother Bart's face flushed, and he grabbed Brother Elvet by the collar and sprayed foam stars into Brother Elvet's face.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to fall prey to your childish plan." Brother Elvet pushed Brother Barth away, walked past him to Dean Robert's side, and looked at the others with a blank face, without shame.

"Captain Rudolph do your job." Dean Robert nodded at Captain Rudolph, signaling that he could begin to eliminate his opponents.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"No, God, this is the temple of God, you can't, ah~~~."

Captain Rudolph drew his sword from his waist, strode up to the monks, pierced Brother Tony's chest with a sword, and then quickly drew his bloody sword, put it on Brother Goldfrie's neck, and with a little force cut the artery in his neck like a chicken, blood spurted from the artery, and the two monks collapsed to the ground, their bodies convulsing, and the blood stained the gray robe purple.

"God forgives us for our sins~~~." Knowing that his plan had failed and that his life was coming to an end, Brother Barth was much calmer, he knelt on the ground and clasped his hands and began to close his eyes and pray, the screams of his old friends sounded in his ears, but when everything was calm, there was no expected harm.

"Brother Barth, I have always been very strange, after taking over the property of the monastery, although there is a lot of money, but I know that the monastery of St. Fonso of the Dao has gone through such a long history, and the property should be more than that, and there has always been a legend among the monks, do you know the Dao?" Brother Barth's ears felt a warm breath as Abbot Robert walked up to him and bowed his head and asked him.

"Hmph, that's all rumor." Brother Barth opened his eyes, he glanced at Robert's greedy face with disdain, turned his face away, closed his eyes, and continued his final prayer.

"I understand the thoughts of people like you, I'm at Hove. A strange codebook was found in the safe in the office of the former abbot of Hannes, and it was on the basis of this codebook that I was able to be sure that there was a treasure in this monastery of St. Fonso, and told me that if I told me, I would let you go, and let your worthless life remain. Dean Robert couldn't help but breathe thicker at the thought of the legendary treasure, and the expressions of Brother Elvet and Captain Rudolph, who were still standing in this prayer room, were also a little moved.

"Do you think I'm going to tell you? This is the secret of the Tao that only those who really think about this monastery can know. Brother Barth opened his eyes and spat on the ground fiercely, he didn't expect the codebook to fall into Robert's hands, but it was useless to have a codebook alone, it was drawn by the abbots of the past who racked their brains, and people without know-how could not solve the secret and get the specific location of the treasure.
