Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Abyssal Gate! Chapter Twenty-Eight: Wooing
It's just that a territory of the Knights League has been captured, and does tK take such news seriously? ”
Cardinal Moore looked impatiently at the papal throne of Pidoca II, this bishop has always been known for his sharp words, but there is a reason for saying this at this moment, he has made great contributions to the Holy See, and once thought that the position of the Pope belonged to him, but all this is occupied by the person who is now sitting in the seat, which makes him feel very uncomfortable every time he sees it, so he has always rejected any decision of Pidoca II.
The former Pope Sidia was apparently happy to see this, so Moore not only did not suppress it, but sat more and more firmly in the bishopric position.
He knew a lot about the psychology of this comrade, so he didn't ask for the other party's opinion, but directly turned his gaze to the other two white cardinals, and said very calmly: "Two bishops, if this matter is carried out according to normal circumstances, then I may not pay much attention to it, but a thorough investigation afterwards shows that the priest guarding the teleportation array is actually a spy of the Dead Council. ”
"Oh?" Bishop Todd, who was already a little bald, opened his flabby eyelids and moved slightly, glancing at Moore out of the corner of his eye.
Pidoca II said lightly: "I believe that a few people who know that the key position of the teleportation array is actually quite important, the Holy See has always attached great importance to it, and the Dead Council must have paid a lot of energy and price for it to be able to place people in this position......
Moore's face changed suddenly, the teleportation array and the liaison station had always been under his control, and now that there was such a serious problem, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, could it be difficult for Pidoka to take the opportunity?
But this was not the case, and Pildoca II did not even pay attention to him, but continued: "Everyone knows the importance of controlling the teleportation array, but the fact that that spy can not hesitate to reveal his identity for this matter only shows that this matter itself is more important than his mission, and it is much more important. ”
His gaze swept over the faces of the two cardinals, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't this situation abnormal? ”
The burly Bishop Fernal coughed and said unceremoniously in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, what you said is that all this is just your speculation, and there is no tangible evidence, do you understand?"
Pidoca II frowned, and said, "This is not just my speculation, if it weren't for the fact that the spy had a slight omission at the time, and Bishop Landison accidentally learned about it, maybe we are still in the dark, the purpose of the Dead Council is obviously to delay time, if we don't act decisively, then the result is no different from not knowing this information." ”
Moore sighed. Shaking his head, he said, "Bishop Lantiston is a regional bishop. We are at the center of the Holy See's affairs. How can His Majesty the Pope be biased and biased? It's better to make your own decisions. ”
These words were clearly a covert mockery of Pildoca II, who had been a puppet for many years. I don't have any ideas for myself. became someone else's marionette.
There was no displeasure on his face. He smiled faintly. Sincerely to the other two cardinals, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to help the Knights. If the situation is as stated in the letter. This will be the biggest turning point in the confrontation between our Holy See and the Dead Council in decades. Even if it doesn't work out. That could at least be a major setback to the Dead Council!"
The two cardinals exchanged words for a moment. Then Bishop Todd said with a blank face, "We'll discuss it again when we go back." Will give His Majesty an accurate answer as soon as possible. ”
The brightness of Pidoca II's eyes darkened. sighed. "Then please." There was a pause. He said in an emotional tone: "All the time. Everything I do is to restore the glory of the Holy See thousands of years ago. I've been working towards this goal all my life. Never let go of this wish for a moment......"
Bishop Vernal nodded, although this pope has no real power, but in terms of diligence, he is ranked among the previous popes, and his voice can't help but soften a lot, and said: "Your Majesty's hard work for the Holy See will also be seen in the Lord's heavenly kingdom." ”
Pidoca II smiled bitterly, he had heard and spoken of such useless words for decades, and now he felt a little tired of it, and he even saw Moore's mocking gaze flashing over him, and a wave of discouragement suddenly swelled up in his heart.
Soon, the hall of light became empty again.
A clear sound of footsteps came from behind the pope's seat, and the golden boy with a smile on his face turned out of it, then sat down on the steps in front of him, and said, "Don't you have a decision?"
Pidoca II's smile was a little bitter, and he said: "Although what I just said is very certain, but I always suspect that this is just a trap, at present, there are only three monks left in our Holy See, if there is any more loss, then will."
The power of the Monk Society, once the balance is tilted, it is not a T thing to think about the board again. ”
The golden boy's ten fingers were entangled, and he chuckled: "But as long as we preserve our strength in this battle, we can't break the stalemate like the current backwater, or can we win more chances?"
Pilduca II raised his eyelids and said, "Is that your opinion?"
Jin Shao patted his knee and said with a smile: "This is not only my opinion, but also the two paths we can take at present, either this or that, but no matter which one is foolproof, at a critical time, we must always give it a go." ”
Pidoca II shook his head: "I have been taking risks all my life, the defeat of Sedaon, the failure of Bethlehem, it seems that none of them have been successful, as a pope, I can't use fair and honest means to overwhelm my opponent and control the situation, which is really sad to say." ”
The young man sensed the loneliness in the Pope's tone, he turned his head, then stood up and took two steps, stared into the Pope's eyes, and whispered, "Maybe this time it will be successful?"
The Pope's expression moved, but after a while, he waved his hand and sneered: "You also heard it just now, whether to assist the Knight Alliance or not, this is not up to me, the attitude of the two cardinals is not clear, the old guy is still watching from above, is it my turn to point fingers?"
"So you're worried about this," the golden boy leaned back and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm sure that this time Sidi Rue will definitely agree, and will let you give the order himself." ”
"Oh, why are you so sure?" said Biduka II.
The golden boy snorted and sneered: "That's because this opportunity is an opportunity for us, and it is even more of an opportunity for him, in case success in the upper echelons of the Holy See will only increase his prestige, and failure will damage your reputation, so he will definitely be happy to agree." ”
Although he knew that what he said was true, his face was still a little ugly.
"But the world is unpredictable, the future is always unpredictable, who can guarantee that what you think will be correct?" Jin Boy leaned in a little closer again, and said in a deep voice: "This is actually the biggest opportunity we have encountered so far, maybe we can take the opportunity to readjust the interior. But most importantly, we need to win over Landiston for the time being in this operation......"
"Landiston? He's an old man. "Shake your head.
"No!" Jin Shao denied: "He has never been anyone's person, this person only has benefits in his eyes, if we give enough benefits, and do not require him to be allegiance, only a short period of cooperation, then he is likely to temporarily fall to your side, after all, you are still the nominal pope." ”
Pildoca II frowned and said, "You know, he's a double-edged sword. ”
"Morgowards is a disciple of Bishop Tood, and Dean Lance is an elite descendant of the Sacrifice Order, and among the only three remaining monks, only Landiston is not constrained by the Holy See, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable person for our plan. ”
"Isn't there a better candidate?"
The golden boy shrugged his shoulders and said: "Previously, in order to suppress his prestige within the Holy See, it was to prevent the diocese of Bethlehem from spreading too quickly, but now that things have taken a turn for the better, then we have to change our methods of dealing with him, change the suppression to entrapment, and give him enough benefits to let him be used by us, which is also a concession that we have to make." ”
Pidoca II thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Just do as you say." ”
At the same moment, in another council chamber of the temple.
"I just got the news that a knight team of about two hundred people from the Knight Alliance was ambushed near Havier, and only a few people fled back," Mehamus, the head of the Doomsday Guild Branch, said: "My lord, the movement of the Dead Council this time is not small, and it is extremely cautious, even our intelligence cannot penetrate into it, and we can only see some clues from some intermittent clues." ”
Luo Lan stood in front of a magic map and looked at a mountain that had already been marked with red markings, with a thoughtful expression, he nodded and said: "Our inferences and intelligence seem to be correct before, the old fox of Sidirue will definitely take action, and he must have secretly made arrangements, but now it seems that our Pope His Majesty seems to be in a very urgent mood, and it is good, this will be very beneficial to us." ”
Mehamus was about to say something when there was a rush of footsteps outside.
The usual cold tone of the Templar Knights sounded outside: "Bishop Landiston, His Majesty the Pope has an order, please go to the Hall of Light as soon as possible, there are important matters to discuss." ”
