CHAPTER XII

Shaking off his robes, Hessel gently waved his hand at the four Xhaka, who had finished relaying—and when he was the only one in the room, he took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, rubbed his swollen temples, and let out a heavy sigh.

Alas!

There was no usual helplessness in the sigh, but it was full of thick exhaustion - although because of his extraordinary strength, he had far more energy than ordinary people and a life that ordinary people would envy; But Hessel knew better that if he continued like this, even if he had more energy and more life, it would not be enough.

Deputy Director of the Inquisition......

Sure enough, he is your disciple!

Thinking of the one who died at the hands of Ye Qi, Hessel couldn't help but think of the storm that he stirred up in the Sacred Forest District when he was young; Even, Hessel thought expectantly in his heart, what kind of expression would he have if the Holy See knew that Ye Qi was that disciple.

Ding Ding ......

Pulling the rope beside the desk, the crisp sound of the bell immediately rang - although the imaginary image of the Pope gritting his teeth and throwing a tantrum and smashing the cup was very comfortable for him, but Hersel did not forget the most important thing - the death of the deputy director of the Inquisition, of course, the Holy See will not be resigned, although because of the existence of the supreme government, they have long lost the situation of being able to respond to all calls in the Holy Age, tend to serve the foolish people, and sweep away thousands of armies under the leadership of the Holy Knights; But the other side will definitely make some moves to save face.

It could be above board, or it could be a conspiracy.

Of course, in Herssel's thinking, the latter is clearly more likely.

"Please go and gather a few other tower masters to come to my study!" Hessel commanded the other apostle in front of him, who had temporarily taken Hawke's place; Then, when the other party was about to walk out of the room, he immediately stopped the other party and added: "At the master of the Peidnange Tower, I will go in person, and you will be responsible for conveying the message to the other tower masters." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

……

The bright moonlight passed through the skylight of the Tower of Knowledge, turning the whole room into a silvery white, but the long purple-black hair was shining in the moonlight at the moment, and the cheeks, which were originally as white as jade, were as translucent as crystal; And on the smooth forehead, the light blue water streaks also exude their own unique light, as if they want to compete with the moonlight.

The slender and slender index finger gently flicked the pages of the book that still revealed a trace of ink fragrance even though it had been stored for a hundred years, and a quiet and elegant accompanied by invisible holiness radiated to the surroundings; Even Hessel had to admit that the other party was like the saint who walked down from the canvas in the sacred age.

Of course, the identity of the other party is really the Holy Lady of the Holy See - although it is only the predecessor; And Hessel still clearly remembers the scene when the guy appeared in Shak with each other tied up, and the sentence "If those bastards don't let Ward back, I'll ...... you OOXX".

The scene at that time is vivid, but the real time has passed decades - it seems that his hair and beard were only gray at the beginning, and there is a trace of black and brown, not like now, it is completely white.

I wonder what happened to those two guys? You must be getting old, right?

With an inner sigh, Hessel, who was standing at the door of Pednange's room, knocked on the open door several times.

Knock knock!

The thick gate of the Tower of Knowledge made a distinctive sound; But Pednange didn't look up to see who was coming, but raised his hand holding the page, and pointed lightly to the side not far away—there was no furniture in the whole room that could sit comfortably, except for the round, somewhat ugly quadrangular stool on which she sits.

Of course, this was a deliberate arrangement by Pednange, and Hessel, who was also one of the masters of the Six Towers, naturally knew the reason for it and the character of the other party; Therefore, without any mind, he walked to the place pointed by Pednange and spoke straight.

"The deputy director of the Inquisition was killed in a duel!"

As Hessel had expected, Pednange did not react at all, as if it was a fly that had died, not a big man in the Holy See—and Hessel, who had been prepared, immediately continued.

"It was Ye Qi who killed him!" ,

"Ye Qi?"

This time Pednange finally had some reaction—she raised her head slightly, her eyes away from the book as if it were some tempting treasure, and her eyes looked at the old man beside her; "Has Duis's god's guardian been stolen?" She said.

Apparently, Pednange was just as incredulous as he had been when he first heard the news; However, facts are facts, Hessel did not intend to hide it, and there was no need to hide it, and after relaying Xhaka's words again, Hessel expressed his opinion.

"Although the scene of the duel was blocked by Ye Qi with a poisonous fog at that time, according to my inference, Ye Qi should have used the spirit of words!" Hessel earnestly recounted his opinion, and at the same time asked the woman who could be called an expert on the other side: "What do you think? ”

Pednange closed her eyes, then quickly opened them, and then she shook her head and said, "I don't have a position to evaluate; My ability to perceive Ye Qi is not at all, as if he is protected by a transparent glass cover, although I can see clearly, but I can't understand his essence at all; Just like him......"

Of course, Hessel knew who he was in the other party's mouth, but Hessel knew even more about what kind of existence he was for the other party; Therefore, Hessel wisely chose to change the subject; And said the original intention of coming here.

"A deputy director of the Inquisition is not enough to be a pretext for the Holy See to start a war! But the lost face, the Holy See will definitely get it back! I've invited a couple of other old guys, and I hope you'll be able to join in! ”

"Since there is no war, these are just inconsequential matters!"

After Pednange finished speaking, he lowered his head again; Looking at the other party's appearance, Hessel couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, he knew that the other party had clearly expressed his position - he would not participate, nor would he interfere with the decisions of the other parties; Clearly, his lobbying failed.

Glancing again, he had buried himself in the book, and Hessel slowly left—after Hessel left, Pednange once again looked away from the book in front of him, and looked at the moonlight shining through the skylight, the bright moonlight reflected the eyes that sparkled in the moonlight, and no one could see the connotation.
