Chapter 870: The King Summons

"This ...... This," Clark had the heart to cry at this time, and even the archbishop of the Temple of Light said, what else could he do.

However, at this moment, with a rather hearty laughter, a middle-aged general in his forties, with two nobles like meat balls, walked in from outside.

"Archbishop Domingo, Lord Hollierd, I didn't expect to meet you two here at Clark, what a great honor." When the middle-aged general entered the hall, he saluted Domingo and Hollierd, but his expression was pure respect, not as full of awe as the others.

Seeing the visitor, Domingo and Holliard couldn't help frowning slightly, the middle-aged general was Benjamin, the first marshal of the Kingdom of Leiding, and the two meat balls behind were the Minister of Commerce and Taxation of the Kingdom of Leiding. It's just that although Benjamin is also a believer in the Holy Light, he has never been very close to the Temple of Light, and even has some faint meaning of the supremacy of royal power. Therefore, for this first marshal, Domingo and Holliard are not very fond of it, not to mention that from the dispute between Clark and Andre just now, they also heard that Benjamin is the backstage that Clark relies on.

And Marshal Benjamin, although he saluted Domingo and Holliard with a calm face, was also extremely surprised that the two appeared here. Seeing the two magicians beside Domingo, Benjamin could guess that those two magicians were from the Tower of Dusk without being introduced by others, and the reason why the two big figures of the Temple of Light came here was naturally self-evident.

Benjamin secretly complained in his heart, although judging from the fact that the Tower of Dusk can afford the magic crystal cannon, it should also be a very powerful force in the Kingdom of Fran, but after all, this is the Kingdom of Leiding, which cannot be affected by the Supreme Council, but he didn't expect the Tower of Dusk to invite these two big figures of the Temple of Light.

"Marshal Benjamin, let me introduce you, this is the leader of the Tower of Twilight, Master Ferrey." Domingo did not directly ask Benjamin to let go of the caravan in the Tower of Dusk, but introduced Lin Li to Benjamin around him.

However, hearing Domingo's introduction, Benjamin and the other magnates of the Kingdom of Reading who were present suddenly showed an even more irrepressible shock. They knew that Domingo and Hollid had been asked by the Tower of Dusk to help, but in their minds, it might be like a mortal praying for a gift from God. But he didn't expect that the young president of the Tower of Dusk would be called "Master" in the mouth of Archbishop Domingo. This is an honorific title, and there are definitely not many people in the entire world of Anriel who can make the two great figures of the Temple of Light call masters, which at least shows that in their eyes, the magician who looks to be in his early twenties has almost equal status with them.

After being introduced by Domingo, Lin Lizhi greeted several Leiding nobles very modestly, and expressed a certain degree of gratitude to André for his help. Originally, Andre didn't look up to this Tower of Dusk very much in his heart, but now when he heard Lin Li's thanks, he had a feeling of flattery.

General Clark, on the other hand, looked even more ugly, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at Marshal Benjamin. He never imagined that an unknown force in the Kingdom of Falan would have such a close relationship with the high-level of the Temple of Light. Although the whole thing was caused by him, it was not at all what he wanted to get to such an uncontrollable point.

What kind of person is this! What kind of force is the Tower of Dusk? Benjamin had already sensed that Clark's mind was wavering, but this was beyond his control, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart. Although you are the first marshal of the Kingdom of Leiding, in this theocratic country, characters like Domingo and Hollier cannot be shaken by themselves.

However, at this moment, there was another cry outside, and the voice was full of excitement and worship. The cry came from far and near, but the distance did not stop for a long time, and it seemed that the whole city of Sparta was filled with calls at this moment.

"His Majesty the Pope is here!" Finally, a clearer and more excited voice came from outside the house.

His Majesty the Pope! Except for Lin Li and the others, several big nobles in the room all looked at each other in shock after hearing those words, trying to determine whether what they heard was true. You know, although Sparta is not far from the City of Dawn, His Majesty the Pope has not set foot on the Holy Mountain for decades. Even though no one dared to say it, many people already wondered if Pope Rosario was still alive.

Obviously, now all rumors are self-defeating, and no one in the Kingdom of Leiding has dared to pretend to be His Majesty the Pope. It's just that everyone has a question in their hearts, why did His Majesty the Pope, who has not shown up for decades, come here at this time? Everyone had a terrible guess in their hearts, but they never dared to believe this guess, after all, the gap in status was too great.

But no matter what they thought, everyone still greeted the outside as quickly as possible, and their faces were full of extremely respectful expressions. And when everyone came outside, they saw His Majesty Pope Rosario, surrounded by the two archbishops Enlos and Martin, as well as several holy knights, walking slowly through the cloister.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Pope!" When Pope Rosario approached, everyone did not dare to slack off, and saluted in unison, paying the highest respect.

"Well, the Light is with you, excuse me." Rosario nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, making everyone feel as if bathed in holy light, and the tension in their hearts disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Archbishop Enlos, who was standing beside Rosario, took two steps forward and said to everyone: "In the future, all the operations of the Tower of Dusk in the Kingdom of Leiding will be protected by the Temple of Light, and no one may make things difficult under any pretext. ”

As soon as Enlos's words came out, everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of shock that could not be concealed, they never thought that His Majesty the Pope would actually issue such a decree. This means that the Tower of Dusk will have unrestricted trading rights in the Kingdom of Leiding in the future, which is an unprecedented decree.

"Master Ferret, after the matter here is over, please stay in the Holy Mountain for a few more days, we still have a lot of questions waiting for you to answer." Enroth smiled and said to Lin Li, turning back behind Pope Rosario.

Pope Rosario did not stay here long, and after Jean Enros issued that decree, he left again surrounded by the crowd, and did not make a special statement about Lin Li. It's just that whether it is Marshal Benjamin, Count Andre and others, after Pope Rosario left, they all broke out in a cold sweat, and even felt a little weak under their feet. Especially General Clark, his bowels were about to be broken with regret in his heart, he thought it was a foreign force, but who would have thought that even His Majesty the Pope, who had not left the Holy Mountain for decades, would come forward.

In this battle between the old and new forces in the Kingdom of Leiding, because of the addition of the Temple of Light, it can be said that no one has become a winner. The real winner was the Tower of Dusk, which was not initially put in their eyes at all, and the unrestricted right to do business granted by His Majesty the Pope himself could be said to be unprecedented in the Kingdom of Ledding, and even in the entire Anriel Continent.

However, this matter is a rather humiliating thing, whether it is for the traditional aristocratic group represented by Count Andrei or for the emerging elite group represented by Marshal Benjamin. After all, the Tower of Dusk, which was originally thought to be at will, ended up being an existence that neither side could provoke. Therefore, the truth of this matter is only known to the high-level leaders of both sides, and those small nobles and the like below each think that their side has won.

Of course, the most important thing is that the people of the two power groups have been notified by the upper echelons that in the future, all the caravans of the Tower of Dusk will be allowed to leave, and there must be no trouble.

After leaving General Clark's mansion, Benjamin rushed directly to the palace and reported the matter to King Sanelli in detail. Although he grew up in the kingdom of Leiding and believed in the teachings of the Light, in Benjamin's heart, only King Sanelli was the object of his allegiance.

"You mean, the Temple of Light intervened! And what decrees were issued! King Sanelli sat quietly, listening to Benjamin, whom he trusted most, tell him about what had happened at Clark's. It's just that in his eyes, there is a wisp of irrepressible anger and unwillingness flashing from time to time.

In this contest between the traditional aristocracy and the emerging elite, many people believe that Marshal Benjamin is the leader of the new elite, and even General Clark believes that his greatest reliance is Marshal Benjamin. However, I am afraid that no one could have imagined that it was their King Saneli who really turned this insignificant matter into a contest between the old and the new forces.

Without the intervention of the Temple of Light, this matter would eventually have a great impact on the traditional aristocracy, and even become a massive purge campaign under the manipulation of King Sanelli. The traditional aristocracy, which had long since decayed, would make way for the new magnates valued by King Saneliu, and the kingdom of Leyding would be rejuvenated.

However, all of this was shattered with the intervention of the Temple of Light, which made King Sanelli how could he endure this breath. As a king, unless it is those faint kings who sit and wait for death, who is really ambitious or ambitious, who would want to always have a big mountain on their heads. And this time, he completely ignored himself and directly issued an exaggerated decree to the Tower of Dusk. What is the unrestricted right to do business, this is simply a violation of the laws of the kingdom, this country is messed up and you don't need the Temple of Light to clean up, right?

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the Pope has not appeared for decades, so there are all kinds of rumors, but according to what I have seen with my own eyes this time, the Pope is still the Pope." Benjamin also had a wry smile on his face. Who would have thought that the Pope, who had not shown up for decades, would not only show up this time, but would still be the god-like powerhouse of the Holy Domain. At this moment, the influence of the Temple of Light has been greatly stabilized, and any rumors are self-defeating.

"Well, I know, you go down first, although we can't move the Tower of Dusk, but those corrupt nobles who have something to do with them, let's clean it up as originally planned. In addition, I will find the information of the Tower of Dusk, and I will see who the magician named Ferre is so sacred, and how he is so favored by the Temple of Light. King Sanelli said lightly, and the resentment in his heart was not revealed in the slightest.

After Benjamin left, King Sanelli sat down in his chair, and instead of smashing things in anger, he frowned and thought about something. Although you are the king of the most powerful kingdom in the Anriel continent, Sanelli actually does not realize the pleasure of the lord of a country directing the country. On the contrary, in his opinion, the royal family of the entire Kingdom of Leiding, whether it was his grandfather or father, was like a pig raised by the Temple of Light.

Even at this time, Sanelli didn't dare to lose his temper, because the guards and maids around him were all believers in the Holy Light and the eyeliner of the Temple of Light. From the time he was sensible, he was unwilling to live like this, and he was unwilling to worship another person as a king. Therefore, since he was crowned king, he has continued to accumulate his strength in all aspects, and even in the slightest relaxation in personal strength, he became a true legendary sword master at the age of thirty.

It is precisely because of this that Sanelli put Benjamin in the position of first marshal and held the army of the entire Kingdom of Leiding tightly in his hands. In the eyes of others, this is because of the suppression of the Temple of Light above, so Sanelli does not have to worry about Benjamin, who holds military power, subverting his throne. However, even the Temple of Light probably doesn't know that the reason why Sanelli trusts Benjamin so much is because there are other reasons worthy of absolute trust.

Although he has been hostile to the Kingdom of France for nearly a thousand years, King Sanelli is actually very envious of the royal family of the Kingdom of France. The strength of the Supreme Council is not inferior to the Temple of Light, but the royal family of France has successfully escaped the control of the Supreme Council and truly become an independent kingdom. On the other hand, the Quershala family, the royal family of Ledin, has been controlled by the Temple of Light for thousands of years, and almost everything is autonomous, and even the choice of the queen must have the consent of the Temple of Light, which is like a pig being raised. If it weren't for the hostile relationship with the Kingdom of France, Sanelli would even want to go to the Kingdom of France in person and learn some experience from the Kingdom of France.
