Chapter 31: In prison
"Your Excellency."
Seeing Scambed's figure finally appear and come from the door of the church, the Priest of McCaron quietly blinked and breathed a sigh of relief when Sirudelt turned his head, and suddenly felt as if a burden on his shoulders had finally been lifted, and then he politely said his welcome, and at the same time with two wrinkles of bitterness in his eyes poured into his eyes through the air between the two sides, as if complaining that you are here, old friend!
Gaztex swore to the god of justice, if you linger for a few more minutes, I will not be able to deal with this noble priest in red, he is just-
"Priest Macallon, thank you for being in charge of receiving the honorable Cardinal before I came." Scambed's gaze crossed Sirudelt between him and the old priest, and of course his eyes immediately understood McCarron's silent complaint, and then smiled, and the words hinted that he could leave the matter to himself next, and then walked in front of Sirudelt and stopped at a suitable distance, pressed his right hand on his chest and bowed, "Good evening, Sirudelt Priest, may the justice of Gazteis be with you forever." β
ββ¦β¦ Good evening, Governor of Scambed, temporary regent of the Northland counties. Sirudelt froze for a moment, as if it had to take a second or two to adjust to Scambed's size, and the tip of his arrogant nose happened to lift his gaze slightly, so that he could reach the height of his gaze.
His body was not as thin as the hunchbacked Priest Macallon, and he was generally of normal Holm body shape, so it was not usual to touch a guy as tall as a bear who had to deliberately look up.
Scambed's large stature was invisible, but perhaps it could not be said that it inadvertently caused him a slight sense of biological instinctual oppression.
The old court governor of the Northland Earls behaved decently, and after the greeting salute, he raised his head with a kind smile and looked at him, "Lord Priest of Sirudelt, please don't be restrained, the temperature in the Northland is much colder than the Empire, but a few candles in the interior of this church can probably provide you with a little insignificant warmth." As the cardinal priest of the Church, you have come all the way from St. Millet's Cathedral in the imperial capital, so you must have something important to inform the Northlands, right? β
Sirudelt suddenly reacted, frowned, and the expression on his face immediately returned to his usual arrogance, shook the sleeves of his red robe and stretched out his fingers, and took out two letters with different wax seals from the inner bag of his robe and handed them to Scambed.
To be honest, when his height was at a relatively obvious disadvantage, he suddenly found that his momentum seemed to be really losing to the other party no matter what.
Scambed kept a smile on his face and took the letter with both hands to show his respect, and then confirmed the different crests on the two wax seals as the temporary regent of the Northlands, one representing the royal family of Hornface of His Majesty the Younger Emperor Leopold IV, and one representing the Cathedral of St. Millet, where Archpriest Laurent resided, and then opened the envelope in turn, took out the paper inside, held it in his hand, and browsed quietly.
It took about half a minute to look at it.
Scambed quickly read the contents of the two letters, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze for half a second, and then immediately returned to normal, folded the letter in his hand and put it back in the envelope and returned it to Sirudelt, and then lowered his hands together and put it in front of him and asked: "Is this really good, honorable cardinal?" β
Sirudelt raised his hand to take back the two letters, and said without the slightest pity in the depths of his eyes: "This is the will of His Majesty and the order of the High Priest. β
"Or is it the Lord Regent's intentions?" Scambed guessed with a smile.
Sirudelt's hand suddenly froze in midair, and his expression and eyes were involuntarily stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe for a moment that the court governor of the Northland Earl would dare to say such a thing directly in front of him.
This kind of talk...... Gaztex is on top, are you Northland nobles talking so unturning?!
Or are the sensitive nerves in your heads being led astray by the unscrupulous paladin lord on your head?
He was immediately a little surprised, blinked sluggishly, and the expression on his face immediately changed to the anger that should be at this moment: "Chief Scambed, you are so bold that you dare to question Your Majesty's authority?!" β
"No, no, no, the cardinal, how dare you resist or disobey Your Majesty's will in the slightest." Scambed waved his hand, the smile on his face that seemed to be gentle forever did not seem to be the slightest flustered by this, and then the words on his lips changed, "It's just...... Well, if I'm not mistaken, the presiding priests of the Sogo Church must have been called 'bishops' before, right? A little further afield, about the term 'Pope'...... Oh no, nothing, hehe. β
After saying that, he was still like a polite old gentleman, keeping his hands together in a natural posture in front of him, smiling, and calmly watching the sudden visible change in expression on Sirudelt's face, quietly waiting for the other party's reaction.
Scambed's words suddenly pierced into the depths of Sirudelt's heart like an invisible needle, not like a landslide, but it was as if the blood was fatal, and the red-clothed priest in front of him frowned, and his eyes were surprised for a few seconds, and then his eyes widened with anger that was no longer pretending, and his mouth opened his teeth and leaked out: "Youββ! β
Fortunately, he was still relatively sensible, and he didn't lose too many words, and then he restrained his impulsiveness, and suffocated all the words that should not be said clearly from his throat back to his stomach.
For some reason, the priest of McCaron, who was standing silent in accordance with Scambed's initial verbal hints, also lowered his head a little gloomily after hearing Scampade's words just now, as if he recalled some uncomfortable memories with deep feelings, and then hurriedly shook his head and pinched the staff he was holding hard, reminding himself that he should now focus on the matter at hand.
In this way, the change in the expression on Sirudelt's face was perfectly reflected in Scambed's eyes.
The smile and composure on Scambed's face seemed disgusting to the ageless red-clothed priest at this moment. The old court chief of the Earl of Northland waited for a while, and when he saw that the chief priest in front of him seemed to be speechless for a while, he organized his words in his heart and persuaded him kindly: "Then, please be careful of the game of politicians, the cardinal chief priest from the imperial capital, don't let the tragedy of the church repeat again......"
As the words fell, he moved his gaze again and ordered the old priest, who had been quiet for a long time, "Priest McCaron, go and arrange a room for the priest of Sirudelt, and ask for the best room in the cathedral of San Antonios." β
"As you wish, Archmaster, I will arrange the best for the Cardinal." The Priest of McCaron nodded, and immediately cooperated with Scambed's agreement, and then saw that Scambed once again fell on Sirudelt's eyes, and the face that kept smiling at all times showed an apologetic expression:
"Lord Priest of Sirudelt, as Lord Priest McCaron should have told you, many of the affairs of the Northlands have indeed been too busy during the period of Lord Lord's absence, so please forgive me for retiring here."
With that, he bent his head and bowed half-sideways, intending to leave the church.
β¦β¦
Meanwhile, the castle of the Earls of Helmet City at night.
"Urs, what do you think we're going to do next? Not only were we separated from Dorothy, Bellingis, and Mr. Groeldon, but we were now being taken prisoner as sinners by Lord Scambed. β
In the dark, dark and humid cell room, the silver-haired wolf-eared priest girl knelt on the thatch pile under her with a dreamless expression, her amber eyes turned sideways to look at the young man beside him who seemed to be in a daze, and wondered why he could still lie on his side with his arms on his side and play with his fingers pinching the haystack with his fingers so calmly.
After all, Gaztex is above, Lord God of Justiceβunless my eyes are hallucinating for some length of time, and this place doesn't look like an underground prison beneath the lord's castle? And it's the kind that holds important prisoners, not to mention that there are no jailers patrolling back and forth in the corridor outside the bars, but the entire dungeon is equipped with a magical surveillance system arranged by Lady Alice herself, not to mention that there are palace guards at the staircase entrance to the dungeon.
She thought bitterly in her heart, and when she came back to her senses, she looked outside the cell where she and the young man were through the bars, and found that this area of the castle dungeon seemed to be only herself and the young man locked up, and for a while she didn't know what to say, but after a while, she heard that the young man seemed to think that he had passed the time, and then sat up and turned his head to look at herself, and asked:
"Xia, did you notice?"
"Noticed? What the? β
"At that time, on the street outside the Warm House Drunkard Tavern, when the chief steward of Scambed led people to arrest us, he used his fingers to make a lot of gestures and gestures to us to hint at the details." Urs raised his eyebrows, moved his legs cross-legged and brought his shoulders closer to Thea, and his brown eyes suddenly smiled at her with a confidence that the girl couldn't understand for a short time.
