Chapter 681: Guidance
The visit of the Holy See made the entire Narcissus family a little nervous, and they were naturally a little caught off guard, and judging from the current situation, the Holy See's side is not good, so many knight troops, it is not like they are here to visit, but more like they are here to ask the teacher.
Even if the Narcissus family is a well-known family in the mainland, of course they don't dare to offend the Holy See, but the Bright Holy See has a very large right to speak, especially on the side of the Terran realm. Although the Terran Empire has split into three empires, most of the people still believe in the Holy See of Light. Even if it is a family like Narciss, if the Church of Light really wants to mess with you and declare you an enemy of the sect, you may be drowned by the people under your rule with a mouthful of spit.
Things did go in a not-so-good direction. After the Holy See arrived, he directly sent the Knights to surround the entire Nacissian Palace, guarding all places to prevent the Cthulhu Order from escaping. After the siege was completed, Pope San Reno led the people to the courtyard of the Narcissian family.
The Narcissus family is naturally urgently preparing for the ceremony to welcome the Pope, although the other party is obviously not good, but they can't screw it, they must not be slack in the number of etiquette, they must be well welcomed. When San Reno entered the main courtyard, the main members of the family were already waiting in the main hall.
"His Majesty the Pope." When Saint Reno entered, all the members of the House of Narciss, including the head of the family, Dorne. Narciss. The Narcissus family is so arrogant that even the emperors of the three empires can not give face, but in the face of the Church of Light, they really have no choice.
Naturally, Linton looked around the people in the room, and the people he had seen in the crystal ball before were basically there. Dorn really didn't look very well, and it seemed to take a lot of effort just to get up and salute, and it seemed that this was not simply ploughing, but more like being injured or poisoned. Looking at this situation, it may be that the family thinks that his life is not long, so someone chooses to do something?
On the other side, Linton also saw that the man who saved Edmund yesterday, Gruss, was still sitting a little below Dorne, that is, the one who was now going to seize power. Now it seems that the other party's eyes still have some snickering joy in his eyes, Linton estimated that he meant that the Pope had come to the door, and the comer was not good, was it time to replace the head of the family?
Of course, Edmund was not present, and he was definitely not qualified to attend a family meeting of this level, at least he was still an illegitimate child now. Although Gruss wanted to seize power and promoted him, he was not qualified to stay here until he joined the family.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you are here in person this time?" Dorn also asked a little anxiously. If the normal situation comes, it will definitely be notified in advance, but now the sudden visit is of course an emergency.
"Hmm......" San Reno thought for a moment, then looked at Linton next to him. It seems that the meaning is to ask Linton to explain the situation, after all, the matter is what Linton found out and reported. Of course, Linton took this task, not how to make it up by himself.
"This lord is ......" Dorne also saw Saint Reno's eyes, and looked at Linton's side. Of course, he didn't know Linton, he didn't attend the previous wedding at all, and marrying a daughter was not a big deal. According to a man like Dorne, who can only call out the names of his children by number, if he attended all the weddings of his daughters who were married abroad, he would probably have traveled all over the continent several times.
"In Lower Linton. Merlowe. Linton stepped forward and said.
Linton...... Merlowe? All the people present were stunned for a moment, and then realized that the person who had come was not good. Yes, the news of the failure of their marriage with the Merowe family has naturally come back, and of course the Narcissian family does not feel that there is anything wrong with their side, after all, the Merowe family does not know the etiquette first, and the marriage failed to fail. Even most of them didn't take it seriously, because for the Narciss, the marriage was not necessary.
But what I didn't expect now was that the people of the Merlowe family would come to the door so quickly, and asked the Pope to help him stand on the platform.
"The Sword Master of the Merlowe Family?" Dorn also thought about it a lot, but his face remained unchanged, and he still bowed his head in respect of the holy level, but his tone was not so polite and asked, "I don't know what the adults have to say when they come here." ”
"Your body has been severely eroded by the aura of darkness." What he didn't expect was that Linton didn't start talking about the wedding directly, but said something that he didn't understand.
"Dark breath?" Dorn here asked a little strangely.
"Is that really the case?" Pope San Reno behind him still didn't feel any dark aura at all, and could only listen to Linton's foolishness, but he still nodded as if he could understand.
"But it's not like the summoning spell is corrupted, it's more like ...... Caused by someone casting a spell. Linton said.
"Swordmaster, what do you mean by that?" Dorne, of course, didn't understand and immediately asked.
"At the wedding a few days ago, I felt a dark aura in your daughter's body." "So I showed up right away and called off the wedding." I don't know if you've heard of the Church of Cthulhu, this evil church is threatening the entire continent. ”
"The church of Cthulhu, the ...... last Lithon Day"
"Yes." Linton nodded, "And here I am, I feel a powerful aura of darkness, and it is clear that there are members of the Church of Cthulhu in the Narcissus family, and they are carrying out an evil ritual. Not only that, but the dark aura on your body should also be caused by those people. ”
"What?" Dorne looked at Linton with some surprise.
"In recent times, have you felt that your body has suddenly become weak, and it is getting worse?" Linton asked.
"Yes...... Yes. Dorn nodded immediately.
"Lord Pope, the Master of Dorne is not supposed to be a member of the Church of Cthulhu, or his presence has hindered the plans of those who are hiding here in the Church of Cthulhu, so he has become a victim of dark magic." After Linton finished speaking, he continued to ask, "Did you also ask someone to check it, but you couldn't find anything?" ”
"Yes...... Yes. Dorne was also somewhat convinced, and nodded.
"The dark spells used by the Church of Cthulhu are different from the magic of this world, they are spells from the world where Cthulhu is located, so they are difficult to detect." Linton continued.
"I see." San Reno next to him nodded.
No matter what the others thought, San Reno and Dorne looked like they believed it. Yes, they were the only ones Linton wanted to fool. Of course, Linton didn't know much about medicine, but this kind of speech was still very simple to believe. You see Dorne like this, you know that he is definitely sick, naturally he is definitely unwell recently, Linton didn't say the specific time, just said that in the near future, you can just put it in yourself. As for not being able to detect it, it's even simpler, if the cause can be known, can Dorn still be delayed? If it can be cured, will anyone still staring at the position of the head of the family so obviously? Obviously, it's not curable.
"The Church of Cthulhu?" Dorne was also a little surprised, it was actually the Cthulhu Church that wanted to harm himself? Although he had heard the name of this church, he only knew it, and he didn't expect that it would really intersect with him, and it would have hurt him.
"The caster must be within the family." Linton directly began to define out of thin air, no one knew how Linton judged that the other party was within the family, but no one knew the Cthulhu Church better than Linton, after all, he made it up, so naturally no one could question Linton's words.
Pope San Reno stood behind Linton, as a representative of Linton's credibility, everyone felt that Linton was speaking on behalf of the Pope, so the Pope should have known about it a long time ago. In fact, San Reno didn't understand it at all, but of course he wouldn't ask carefully at this time, as if he didn't know it either, so you weren't sure if you brought the Knights over, didn't you slap yourself in the face, so of course San Reno couldn't question Linton.
"The members of the Crusu Church, hidden within your family, are performing an evil ritual, and if it succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable." Linton said, "What clues do you have, Lord Dorne?" ”
"Clue means ......" Dorn asked, not feeling any dark aura, of course.
"Is there anything strange happening in the family lately?" Linton induced directly.
"Strange thing......" Dorn thought about it, of course, he thought of what happened yesterday for a moment, yes, this thing is already full of strangeness, how do you say that a 16-year-old bastard defeated the guards of more than two dozen families? Now, as soon as Linton talks about strange things, of course he thinks.
Of course, Dorn thought of more than that, and in the next second, his eyes turned to his younger brother Gruss next to him. With a roll of his eyes, Dorne knew what to do, and pointed directly at Gruss and said, "Grus, is that you?" ”
"What?" Gruss got up directly, "What did you say?" ”
"You're the one from the Cthulhu Church, aren't you?" Dorne immediately said, "I kind of figured it out, if anyone thinks I'm getting in the way of their plans and wants to get rid of me, it's you, right?" ”
"You're spewing blood!" Gruss on this side said immediately.
"Your Holiness the Pope, that's right, it's him." Dorne on this side immediately said, "I suddenly thought, I found a subordinate of the Cthulhu Church before, using strange abilities, I originally wanted to lock him up to investigate this strange ability, but he was saved, combined with Lord Linton's previous statement, I have already figured out their plan." ”
