Chapter 55: The Hand of the Abyss

"Rotonchild, what an old and noble surname, but his antiquity and dignity are built on the noble surname of Stuart, Your Excellency Cardinal, what do you think?" Chillis, the hostess of St. Peter's Castle, poured a glass of champagne for the priest who had walked out of the Inquisition, where few people could get out, and it did not fit the temperament of an old man who had already taken off his red robe and put on a slightly obscure black robe.

There were very few people who could receive this kind of treatment from Her Royal Highness Princess Chillis, who had the noble surname of Stuart, and there was a general Burnham who was respectful to Chillis during his lifetime, and now? There was only one Holy See priest named Hygea Crisp.

Hai Ge Yashu, who was nearly four times the age of Kiris, glanced at this clever royal family who was the age of his granddaughter, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a subtle smile, and a pair of old but deep eyes like stars looked up into the distance, and muttered: "The Lord said that if you want to solve the war, you must first be in the war!" Otherwise, how can it be solved, and what kind of detachment can we talk about? ”

That's a completely unspoken answer.

Gilis smiled at the priest in front of her who answered the question, and her delicate and elegant face did not show any displeasure! For this old man, whom General Burnham in front of her was very much valued, she did not dare to have any disrespectful thoughts. The wisdom and energy of this old man far exceeded her imagination in the eyes of Qi Lisi.

Before General Burnham died, she even firmly believed that this old man was the only one who could fight General Burnham!

"The belief in theocracy, the fanaticism of imperial power, this is a question that no one can resist or avoid! Priest Hyga, if I give you the faith of the Noxian Empire, what can you give me? ”

Haigea squinted, and there was no surprise or greed in his eyes, which made Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris, who had been observing this Haigea priest, marvel in her heart: she was worthy of being the most devout priest in the Noxian Empire.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris. Unfortunately, I can't bring you any substantial benefits, all I can give is the Holy See that supports the imperial power of the Noxian Empire! Hai Ge Yashu squinted, his eyes were suddenly frighteningly cold, looked at Qilisi, and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qilisi, you have shown me your strength. But unfortunately, I will not make any decisions until the reign of the Noxian Empire is vested! The clergy of the Holy See of Byzantio served only the Emperor of the Noxian Empire! ”

The rhetoric is clear, and there is no room for moderation.

Wouldn't Haigea be afraid that Her Royal Highness, who was very likely to become the ruler of the Noxian Staff, would be furious after taking over the imperial power of the Noxian Empire, and would throw him, an ordinary priest who no longer had any glorious status, into the abyss?

The werewolf duke Elquiro had a faint smile on his face, and he couldn't help but be terrified of the godfather's words to Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris.

Oh my God, this is not an ordinary aristocratic lady, but an emperor who is very likely to control the scepter of the Noxian Empire.

The werewolf duke, who has always been known for being brutal and ruthless, couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for his godfather, but what was the result? The faint smile on the werewolf duke's face spoke for itself. This result did not go beyond the wisdom of the Godfathers.

With a very sincere face, Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris looked at Haige Yasu with a smile, lowered her arrogant head slightly, and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Haige Yasu, this is the most beautiful sentence I have heard recently. ”

Suddenly appeared, and then left in a hurry with Erquilo! When she left, she did not get up to see off the priest from the Inquisition. There was silence along the way, and the werewolf Duke Erquilo, who was not much different in age from Haige Yasu, couldn't help but ask, "Godfather." Do you think Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris will succeed to the throne of Nicocage the Great? ”

Hai Ge Ya Su glanced at the partner beside him who had always been inseparable, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a rare playful smile, and said softly: "Erquilo, your question is asked to the wrong person, maybe you ask General Burnham, and he will give you a clear answer." And me? All I can tell you is that everything is on track. ”

Elkilo was stunned for a moment, the established track? What is a given track? Elquilo, who was not stupid, immediately thought of the reason, and his whole body suddenly trembled, and his pupils shrank sharply. Staring wide-eyed, he looked at the priest in front of him, who had always had a subtle smile on his face, and said, "Lord Haige Yasu, could it be that this established track refers to General Burnham??" ”

Under Erquilo's expectant gaze, the priest who was known for his silence and low profile in the Holy See of Byzantio nodded and said softly: "It's hard to imagine that a super politician who has dominated the Noxian Empire for more than half a century would abandon all worldly affairs to meet God and find his wife and mother!" ”

Elquilo took a deep breath, he didn't have time to listen to his godfather's long sighs. The originally very tough body suddenly couldn't help but tremble because of Hai Ge Yashu's words, it turned out that he had always controlled the situation of the Noxian Empire, and he had always been under the control of the general who had already left the world?

What gift would the iron-willed, resolute and violent General Burnham leave to the nobles of the world who entrust him to the throne beneath him?

Thinking of this, Terry's independent werewolf duke El Kilo among the nobles trembled all over his body and chilled.

How can the aristocracy, who has a great talent for politics, intrigues, and traps, not hate and fear terrible conspiracies and traps? ? The aristocratic world is complex and dark, and every conspiracy can even cause an earth-shattering upheaval in the continent of Valoran, and a single decision among the nobles of St. Peter's City can even lead to the death of tens of thousands of people.

This is the aristocratic world, and this is the one who is superior dominates the one who is lower.

Glancing at the lost lamb who was still immersed in the world of conspiracy theories, Haigeya glanced at the lost lamb beside him, gently patted Erquilo's shoulder, and said softly: "Elkilo, instead of worrying about what kind of terrible and weird plan General Burnham has designed, you should think about your future direction!" A nobleman who has lost his sense of direction will sooner or later become a pawn in the hands of politicians, for this. You, who were born into a noble family in the Noxian Empire, should know better than me, a priest! ”

Erquiro really calmed down like the words of Jacka, and in El Kiro's heart, the words of Jacka Crisp, who is known as the most pious priest of the Holy See, have a power that can soothe restless emotions, which is one of the reasons why El Kiro has always maintained respect for Jacka.

Of course, the reason why El Kiro respects Hai Ge Ya Su so much is that there is a big man behind Hai Ge Ya Su who is enough to make the entire Valoran continent tremble. He is as transcendent as the Sorcering Enchantress outside the Imperial System, but he has terrifying powers to change the landscape of Valoran.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing General Burnham's layout for the future Noxian Empire, maybe it will bring light to the Noxian Empire, maybe it will come to Noxus like an abyss. Who knows if the Hand of the Abyss plunged the mighty and mighty Noxian Empire into endless darkness? Elkilo muttered to himself.

No one could give him an answer, not even Chillis and Svein, who knew something about General Burnham's plans.

――――

"What did Augustus order you to do at St. Peter's Castle?" After the departure of the Hygo, Kiris greeted a very different guest, a slave to be exact, a very rare breed of slave on the continent: the Minotaur!

The Minotaurs, a race that once brought indelible disgrace to the Holy See, have long since disappeared into the bustling urban areas where humans gather, and only the harsh and desolate terrain of the Great Barrier can be found on the continent of Valoran.

There is only one Minotaur who can walk the streets in St. Peter's City, and that is Alista the Minotaur, a servant of Augustus.

At this moment. This servant, loyal to Augustus, actually appeared in St. Peter's Castle.

Alista looked up at the temporary new master, and said in a loud voice, "Young Master Augustus has ordered me to follow and protect Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris!" ”

"What about time?" Qilisi looked at the minotaur playfully and said.

Alista said, "Young Master Augustus said, when the dust of the Noxian Empire's crown and scepter settles, I will return to him immediately!" Qilisi obviously noticed that when Alista, who was burly but had dark eyes, said this, a pair of gloomy eyes suddenly brightened and shimmered with a dazzling light.

At this moment, Qilisi even had the urge to ask the honest minotaur in front of her: "Is Young Master Augustus, a model of selfish and timid aristocracy, really worthy of your loyalty?" ”

But in the end. Chillis resisted the urge.

Afterwards, Kiris received a concrete answer from Alista.

Augustus was not prepared to stay in St. Peter's City. Instead, he was about to return to Ferreljord with the paperwork that General Burnham had left behind on his deathbed.

I have to admit that this is indeed a very correct choice, the current St. Peter's city is too complicated, and a little Augustus really can't make any waves in St. Peter's city.

Rather than staying in St. Peter's City in the Noxian Empire for an adventurous opportunity, it would be easy and worthwhile to return to Ferreljord and conquer it.

Alista patted his head, though he wasn't smart. But he also knew that the new owner with a big smile on his face was not satisfied with his answer. Perhaps it should be said that he was not satisfied with the behavior of Master Augustus.

After a moment's hesitation, Alista spoke: "I forgot to say, Your Royal Highness Princess Chillis, Master Augustus has ordered me to tell you: I hope to see you sitting in that position, and I sitting in that position!" ”

Which position? Which position? The same sentence. Does it mean the same?

Naturally different!

Two words suddenly came to Qilisi's mind: the throne of Noxus and the throne of Ferreljord!

"Dear Augustus, I hope you are as General Burnham said, otherwise I don't mind having one more life in my hands." Chillis squinted, muttering to herself in a voice that only she could hear.

From beginning to end, Alista kept his head down, and no one noticed the playful curvature of the lowly and honest Minotaur's mouth. (To be continued.) )
