27.Emergency Mission: Hunting the Demon Bird (II)
A dark red figure fell from the sky, and a blade of cold light flickered out of the oblique stab!
I only heard a crackling sound, and the feathers of the poisonous demon bird flew and blood burst out.
A huge crack appeared on the wing membrane of the right wing of the poisonous demon bird,
(PS: I want to mix up the full attendance, these two days of exams, exam preparation, and make up for it when it's over, and put a paragraph of nonsense below to make up the number of words.) After the exam, I will change the text and resend it,)
"I have something very important to report to the archbishop! Get out of the way! ”
The sound outside the door silenced everyone.
As if hearing a voice, little Sif who had been struggling in her sleep instantly quieted down.
In a moment, Wright, dressed in a dirty black priest's robe, burst into the council chamber. He looked haggard, but his eyes shone brightly.
"I've met Bishop Karl, Bishop Greenland, Bishop Murphy, I've seen all the priests." Wright saluted everyone in the hall.
Both Greenland and Murphy nodded at him, the priest who had been sent from the royal capital, they still had an impression, it seemed that he was still one of the priests who did not return yesterday.
"You said you had something important to report, what was it? Go ahead. ”
"That's the ......," Wright recounted his experiences and speculations, kidnappings, murders, rebellions...... But no one made any moves because of his words, as if ......
Everyone but him already knew what was going on.
Wright, who was ignored, stood aside awkwardly, feeling like a fool and inexplicably saying a lot, only to find that everyone already knew about it and didn't care about it.
Murphy and Greenland began another round of arguments, the rebellion outside the city was only temporary, and the rebellion could be quickly quelled by the escort army, but the power of the Holy See in the city could not be lost, which was the basis of their foothold.
Karl, who was not involved in the power struggle, called Wright aside.
With a smile on his face, Old Carl put the little girl in his arms into Wright's hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, go home safely!" ”
"Thank you." Wright carefully took the sleeping child and thanked the old man softly.
Sif, feeling the familiar temperature, squeezed into Wright's arms, slammed her mouth, and fell back to sleep.
"It's not good, is it?" Old Carl asked Wright.
"Well, they seem to have been planning for a long time, and it's not an isolated place, the soldiers of the city guard said that there have been quite a few similar incidents at the East City Gate alone, and there are rumors that the local people were killed by the Holy See, and I suspect that the same is true in other places."
"That's a big deal······ It's already a mess outside, look here, still thinking about how to fight for power······" This time, Old Carl didn't lower his voice, and the other two bishops glared at him angrily, and Old Carl also glared angrily, "Look at what you do, I can't say it, want to fight?" ”
Ignoring the consternation of the others, he stood in the center of the council chamber and announced forcefully: "Since you are one in charge of the city and one in the Holy See, then the Holy See guards will be handed over to me, first, you don't have to waste time discussing, and second, you can save some energy and not accept rebuttals, otherwise you will come to fight!" ”
As one of the cardinal archbishops of the Caucasus Holy See, the old Karl naturally has his confidence, he does not fight for power because of his own strength, "the strongest priest", "the strongest mage", "the strongest knight", his three major titles have been circulated within the Holy See, but because of the passage of time, the glory is buried deeply.
Even if the other two bishops attacked at the same time, Karl was sure to win unscathed! Even if one of the two is a high-ranking priest and the other is a high-ranking magician, this is the pride that comes from the "strongest", and it is also the place where he is distinguished from the two "politicians" by his dedication to cultivation.
"Carl, you can't do this, you're violating ······" Murphy didn't hold back a reason, "Anyway, this is not allowed by the rules of the Holy See, you can't do this······"
"Oh? What else can you do with me? Karl sneered, "Today, either you hand over the warrant of the escort yourself, or I will find it out from you myself!" ”
Greenland's face turned pale, apparently remembering some unbearable past. After struggling for a long time, he finally compromised, he didn't know where he took out half of the talisman and threw it to Carl, but he refused to admit defeat easily: "What you do, I will definitely report it to the royal capital Holy See jury!" ”
"I'll wait. What about you, how do you choose? Carl took the amulet and stopped looking at him, but asked Murphy, who was still struggling.
"Humph!" The archon snorted coldly and threw the other half of the Guardian Talisman out of his body.
At this time, both of them discovered the crux of the problem: without strength, no matter how powerful they are, they can't restrain a powerful but unruly person like Carl.
However, such a thing as one's own strength is too dependent on talent, and most people in the world are ordinary people with no qualifications, or people with mediocre talents like them, and it is impossible to cross the threshold of "advanced" in their lifetime, and add a "big" word before the professional title.
Greenland and Murphy are both mediocre people, so they need power to get resources for them to move up to higher levels, while Old Carl is a real genius, and genius is an existence that you can't surpass no matter what you use.
He can easily reach the realm that you can't reach, stand on the level you can't walk, and enjoy the scenery that you can't see.
So Old Karl forcibly seized part of the power of the two of them at this moment with his strength, but they couldn't resist, because they didn't have the ability to resist, and with their level of power, they couldn't help at such a level.
Old Karl held the talismans in his hand and merged them into one, and from now on, he was the commander of the Caucasian Holy See's Guard, and he held great power!
He said to the people who were still in the council hall in a daze or ashamed, "Now that everything needs to be said is done, let's do what needs to be done······
The two cardinal archbishops left with grim faces.
The priests also saluted and departed in turn.
Here, only Carl, Wright, and Sif are left.
"Kid Wright, you stay, I have something you need to do."
Wright, who was about to leave, was stopped by Carl, and the door to the council chamber slowly closed.
······
At this time, the city of the Caucasus was very lively as usual, although the city guards blocked the city gates, but the residents who had been living in the city did not notice the abnormality, they were still spending their days drinking as usual, the citizens went to the streets to buy groceries, the church to pray for blessings, and the poor people picked up garbage in all corners and fought with each other······
Only in the places where the priests gathered, there was a hint of panic, but it was quickly diluted by the peaceful and cheerful atmosphere of the nobles, and then buried.
After all, they had already fled back to the city when they found the problem again, and they didn't think that the outside thing would affect this tall city at all, they felt that as long as the soldiers in the city were dispatched, they could immediately solve these small problems.
The upper-class aristocrats who knew the news did not have the slightest sense of crisis, and the lower-class ordinary people did not feel the crisis because they had no news, so the entire Caucasus city was still lively.
In this shady corner of Xicheng District, chaos is everywhere.
During the night, several unconscious drunks were thrown out of the gate of the Flame Tavern by the bartender, rolled around the street several times, struggled several times and couldn't get up, and simply lay motionless on the road and fell asleep.
In the tavern, the drinkers emptied their purses one by one with spirits and beautiful women.
The only place in the tavern that can be insulated from noise is called a private room.
At this time, there were several waitresses guarding the door of the VIP box, and in the box, four men and women sat opposite each other, each holding a glass of mellow wine in their hands, and they toasted and talked with each other.
"Congratulations, Lord Adams, the plan was executed perfectly, everything was as you expected."
A bald man toasts to a man named Addams, who is the speaker of the Flame Tavern, Spirits, and the scar on his head beats with his laughter.
Look at Adams again, more than two meters tall and sturdy, with a simple face, he is the "rebel" who appeared with the clown at night.
Adams smiled innocently and raised his glass in return: "Thanks to the great help of Your Excellency Spirits, if it weren't for your efforts, my brothers and I would have been unable to implement such a huge plan!" ”
"Hahaha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, we are all for the same goal, it is appropriate to help each other."
"That's, that's, if you have any needs, just mention it to us, as long as we sentient beings can do it, we will definitely help you solve it hahaha!"
“······”
Another man and a woman sat on either side of the bald man's liquor, faintly guarding him; The man was drinking and didn't say a word; The woman held the wine glass in a dignified manner, and her noble temperament was like a royal daughter from the royal capital, she held the wine glass, smiling skillfully, and attracted the attention of the three of them.
The big man Adams seemed to be a little lustful, raised his glass and stood up, approached the woman, gave a stiff and ugly gentlemanly salute, and said gently: "This must be Miss Sunniele, who is known as the most charming woman in Caucasus City, right?" Now that I see it, it really lives up to its reputation, I wonder if I have the honor to give Miss a cup? ”
Liquor's brows furrowed, he felt that he was offended, an outsider actually teased his favorite subordinate in front of him, even if the other party has a big background, even if this subordinate is not his own person, but the anger involuntarily rises, just like his name, Lie!
The liquor winked at Sunniel and motioned for her to refuse, but the woman didn't seem to see it.
She smiled at Adams charmingly, and suddenly the ten thousand styles were like a pot of liquor in the biting cold wind, and like a touch of pale green in a garden in spring, just the right amount of gentleness, and just like a burning fire.
"I'll give you a toast, my general~Lord Adams~"
The voice flowed from the delicate and warm red lips, light as a mountain lark, charming as a witch by the pillow, just by hearing it, half of the body had softened.
Adams was a farmer in his early years, a militiaman, and later an uprising and a war, and he was beaten by the regular army and fled, and he didn't even have the opportunity to plague the country women.
The liquor on the side sneered, this woman's charm kung fu even fascinated herself, such a stupid and big man, he can't be deceived so that he still thinks about how to hold his hand?
Until the drunk Adams was sent away, he was talking to Sunninier, and the other two men had no room to interject to talk about business, the two of them were out of sight and out of mind, so they simply left the box and recruited the waitress outside into the private room to prevent the bear-like man from doing anything bad after getting drunk, and then greeted the "next business".
Naturally, no one saw a gleam in Adams' eyes.
