Chapter 872: Investigation
In the palace of Letois, the imperial city of the Yates Empire, the Emperor of the Yates Empire, Arnold. Bergman. Serragad was listening to the emissary of the Holy Empire of Ilam below, reading his letter of state. The content of the national letter is naturally a declaration of war, but it is written very complicated, in short, it is two sentences, one is to scold the eighteenth generation of Emperor Arnold's ancestors, and the other is because of your despicability and shamelessness, we officially declare war on you.
Emperor Arnold did not listen to the contents of the declaration of war at all, in fact, he already knew about the declaration of war. Princess Aran directly declared war to all the people when she ascended the throne, and the people of the whole country already knew about it, and of course the Yetis Empire had already known about it.
The emperor is listening here, on the one hand, this process does have to go, and on the other hand, it is also his means. Now he is the envoy who officially received him at the court meeting, and the civil and military ministers around him are all there, just listening to where the envoys below are scolding their emperor for how despicable and shameless, the so-called king insults the ministers to death, hearing these envoys insult their emperor so much, can these ministers not be angry?
Emperor Arnold really can't do anything about it, the events of the past few days have really made him a little haggard, the most important thing is that his son has inexplicably become a XIE disciple, which has made the people in his country unstable. The effect of what he is doing now is naturally to divert the domestic contradictions, where are everyone riding their faces, do you people also look at the situation, do you really want to ruin the country and ruin the family? Seriously, now that the declaration of war by the Holy Empire of Ilan has helped Arnold in a sense, as far as foreign countries are invading, the country should be a little more stable, and as long as he drags it a little, he may be able to think of a solution.
Looking at the faces of the ministers around him who were already in anger, Emperor Arnold felt that it was almost enough, and was about to interrupt the words of the other party's envoy with righteous indignation, and then directly incite everyone's emotions to prepare for the war, when a guard hurriedly ran in and reported an emergency to Emperor Arnold, and Pope San Reno arrived.
Arnold was also a little panicked when he heard this, of course he also knew what Pope San Reno was here for, the Holy See's crusade team had greeted him before, and his son's matter must be investigated by the church. Because he is the emperor, it is obviously not appropriate for ordinary church members to investigate him, so San Reno is definitely coming here, but he didn't expect to come to visit at this time.
Although he was a little nervous, Arnold immediately told him to prepare for him. Seriously, he really wants to have a good talk with San Reno now, the current situation in the country is actually very bad, the main reason is because of his son Marcus, then the person who can prove his innocence now is the Church of Light, as long as the church says that this matter has nothing to do with the rest of their royal family, then everything is easy to explain, if not, then things will definitely get worse.
Emperor Arnold here also stood up directly from the throne and greeted Pope San Reno with special solemnity. The emperor and the pope do not have a special subordinate relationship, that is, the pope performs divine affairs on behalf of the pope during the sacrifice, and the pope is the embodiment of God at that time, so the emperor has to salute him, and now it is the court period, and Arnold does not need to be so grand, but this is also a request for the church.
There are about a dozen people in the Church of Light, and the leader is naturally Pope San Reno, as well as a team of knights and two priests. However, as soon as the group entered, Arnold noticed a strange person in the team. The others were either knights or clergy, and only a young man who looked to be in his twenties was dressed in aristocratic casual clothes, which was really conspicuous in this group.
Of course, Arnold was also very curious about the identity of the other party, but at this time, he still mainly greeted the Pope, so he went up to greet Pope San Reno very respectfully, welcomed the other party to the middle of the main hall, and ordered someone to have a chair. However, San Reno didn't look very polite here, and he didn't take a seat, so he said directly to Arnold: "Your Majesty Arnold, I believe you also know the purpose of my visit this time." ”
"Your Majesty, I really don't know about the Church of Cthulhu." Hearing the meaning of Saint Reno's questioning, Arnold also immediately said, "Marcus did follow my orders to go to the Elan side to carry out a strategy, but I hate him so much that I don't know that he has anything to do with that XIE Sect, I can guarantee that there is no other despicable XIE Sect in my court besides him, we are all the people of the God of Light, and the gods can learn from us." ”
"I'm here to investigate this matter, and I hope this matter has nothing to do with you, but the stakes are high, and I ask His Majesty Arnold to cooperate with our investigation." San Reno said very seriously.
Saint-Reno's serious attitude made Emperor Arnold feel a little bad, and it seemed that he was really suspicious of them in this official situation. But it's really okay to think about it, your son is a XIE cultist, it doesn't matter if you don't say it's him, he doesn't believe it. But Arnold is really not, although he has heard of this Cthulhu church before, but he has only heard of it, and he doesn't even know what they are and what gods they believe in.
"Please rest assured, His Majesty, as a citizen of the God of Light, I will definitely cooperate fully." Arnold immediately said, "I don't know what kind of investigation will be conducted, I will arrange it immediately." ”
"Rest assured, the results of the investigation will be forthcoming." San Reno said, and directly gave up the young man who Arnold had been paying attention to in the rear to the position next to him.
"This is ......," Arnold asked, who had been curious about the identity of the young man before, and now he also asked.
"Sword Saint Linton. Merlot the Great, bearer of the Book of Seals. San Reno said directly.
"What?" Arnold was stunned, yes, Linton's name he naturally knew, but he hadn't seen it before, and he didn't recognize it, but now when he heard that the other party actually appeared in front of him, he didn't know how to react. This Elan Holy Empire has just declared war with them, what is Linton's identity? He's the husband of the newly enthroned empress, and this guy really came here?
There was another reason why Linton's name was so surprising. When the Holy Empire of Ilan sent an envoy here before, it naturally had to report to the Yates Empire, but now that there is a war, if you don't report it, you may be arrested at that time if you come directly. And in this reported list, Arnold actually saw Linton's name.
Arnold, of course, was also surprised how Linton's name could appear in the list of missions, which was impossible to think about. But I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, Arnold was very cautious and actually beckoned the enshrined saint level, and the provincial Linton really appeared, then he was a sword saint, this is not very dangerous. Therefore, when the envoys of the Holy Empire of Yilan arrived before, several saint levels were also staring at this side.
However, Linton didn't appear, this is really not out of Arnold's expectations, it's normal that the other party didn't come, and I don't know what this operation is, I have to add Linton's name to the mission list, is this the Holy Empire of Elan giving their royal prestige? Arnold didn't bother to pay attention to this episode, and directly asked the other party to start reading the national letter.
However, what he never expected was that Linton actually appeared in front of him, or came in with Pope San Reno, Arnold didn't expect to see Linton here, and at this time, seeing him in the Pope's team, Arnold also had a bad premonition.
"Lord Linton is the holder of the Book of Seals and can discern the dark aura peculiar to members of the Church of Cthulhu, so this time we specially invited him to help our church investigate." Pope San Reno continued.
"What?" Arnold was stunned again, looked at San Reno here, and then looked at Linton next to him, suddenly understood, and said with a sinking face: "This is ...... Is it the attitude of the Church of Light? ”
Yes, the Pope meant to let Linton judge you as a member of the Church of Cthulhu, so doesn't that mean you want to declare yourself a XEE in public? Linton, he is a member of the Holy Empire of Ilan, and he has just come to declare war on the front foot, and he is concerned, can he not be? San Reno did this, the purpose was very obvious, and Arnold was instantly angry.
Originally, I wanted to ask the Church of Light to help me clarify, but what I didn't expect was that the Church of Light was actually biased towards the side of the Holy Empire of Ilan, which caught Arnold off guard, this was going to die by himself. But the matter of the Book of Seals has been made public by the church before, and you have to say that it is reasonable and can indeed be said in the past, but it is ......
"Wait, I protest, it's not a fair verdict." Arnold yelled directly.
"Lord Linton, please." Saint Reno ignored Arnold's protest and said to Linton next to him.
"Mmmmmm, it looks like it's my turn." Linton nodded, smiled and looked at Arnold in front of him, "Well, in fact, the result is still obvious, what about this Arnold Emperor...... Not a member of the Church of Cthulhu. ”
"I protest...... Wait, what are you talking about? Arnold was ready to defend directly, but after hearing Linton's words clearly, he was stunned.
"Huh?" San Reno here is also confused, what is the situation on your side, big brother, he finally made up his mind to stand on your side to help you do it, it is rare for the church to stand in line so clearly and take a stand, what are you suddenly making trouble?
"That...... Lord Linton, you say it seriously. San Reno wondered if Linton had said something wrong, and hurriedly reminded.
"I've seen it, and it's not." Linton spread his hands and said, "There is no dark aura in the entire palace, so the investigation is over." ”
"It's not...... Lord Linton, will you take a better look? San Reno panicked a little and began to hint frantically.
"Anyway, no, okay, the investigation on the church's side is over." Linton said as he walked to the front of the Holy Empire Mission of Elan next to him, "Now it's the mission's job. ”
