"Dragon Knight Gracis?"

Hearing Gracis's name, Raphael was stunned for a moment, and then stood up from his chair and asked in surprise. If Beverly hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, he would have almost forgotten that the Holy See's bounty order for Gracis's corpse was still there, after all, the bounty order was issued six years ago, when in order to demonstrate the Holy See's force, hit the morale of the Higg military, and expand the Holy See's influence in Higg, the Holy See was eager to get Gracis's body to prove that the dragon knight had indeed died in battle, so the bounty order was issued. However, six years have passed, and Gracis's body has not been found, although in the first few years people continued to bring the body to receive the reward, but after identification, it was proved to be a fake. Gradually, no one came to receive the reward, and everyone forgot about it, and although the bounty was never revoked, even Raphael himself gave up, believing that Gracis's body had been thrown by the dragon Userondia somewhere inaccessible, and it should have almost rotted. But when he didn't expect that he had almost forgotten about it, Gracis's body suddenly appeared again, how could he not be surprised.

"Yes, sir!"

Beverley was very pleased with Raphael's surprise, which showed that his information was valuable.

"Is the corpse real? It can't be a bounty, right?"

Raphael quickly calmed down, after all these years, Gracis's corpse was no longer as valuable to the Holy See as it was back then. So the first thing he suspected was that someone wanted to cheat the reward.

"It's true, and it's not a cheat. ”

Beverly's tone was affirmative.

"Why?"

Raphael was a little unconvinced, it was not the first time that the reward had happened, after all, 100,000 gold coins was a fatal temptation for most people, although so many years have passed, it is difficult to guarantee that no one has coveted it again.

"Because the body has been confirmed by Gracis's family, and the body is in the hands of Gracis's family, they will not take Gracis's body to receive the reward. ”

"Do you confirm the news?"

"Of course. Although Gracis died, the Gracius family has been in contact with the military department, and the news was told to the military department by Gracis's eldest son, although I was not present at the time, but many people heard it with their own ears. ”

"Oh, why did Gracis's son tell the military department?"

"Because their family is going to hold a grand funeral for Gracis's body, because Gracis is sacrificing his life for the country, so they hope that the military department can send someone to come forward, after all, Gracis was once a hero of Higg, which is not only about the honor of Gracis, but also about the prestige of the Gracius family. ”

Beverly gave a brief explanation of the situation.

"So how did Gracis's family find his body?"

Raphael suddenly felt that the matter was getting more and more interesting.

"It is said that a group of adventurers who went to the Kulen Mountains stumbled upon him and sent him back. ”

"It's really strange that the adventurer didn't use Gracis's corpse to claim the prize, but sent it home. ”

Raphael was clearly a little skeptical of Beverley's words.

"Maybe the Graxis family will give more bounty, but it doesn't matter, the important Minister of War Blatter is very interested in attending the funeral to honor Gracis, and wants to make a big fanfare, you must know that Graxis was killed in the battle with the Holy See, what does Blatter mean by this? I think the Bishop should go to see His Majesty the Emperor and resolutely prevent this from happening, otherwise the impact will be extremely bad, and it will also be a huge blow to the prestige of the Holy See. ”

Beverly said with a foaming mouth and an angry expression, completely forgetting that he was a member of the military department himself. To his surprise, however, Raphael listened to his words of near-loyalty, and did not say anything, nor could he tell whether he was happy or angry. Raphael seemed to have fallen into deep thought, completely oblivious to what he was saying later.

"Are you saying that Blatter is going to organize people from the military department to attend the burial of Gracis's body?"

Raphael was silent for about a few minutes, and when he looked up at Beverly again, Beverly saw that his eyes were shining, the kind of excitement that a hunter would have when he saw his prey about to step into a trap.

"Yes, but not everyone, it's the conservative forces, of course not including me, I am against it, but I have no power now, and opposition is invalid, so I have come to meet the Bishop, hoping that the Bishop will stop them from this stupid behavior, and it is better to teach them a lesson. ”

Beverly thumped his chest, reasserting his position and attitude.

"Indeed, they are foolish in their actions, and they must be taught a lesson, and a lesson in blood. But I'm not going to stop them, I'm going to support them, and not only that, but it's better that all those in the Higg court who are dissatisfied with the Holy See can go with them. ”

Beverly smiled wryly.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is not right. ”

Beverly's eyes widened, as if trying to see if Raphael was insane.

"No, no, it's not only a good idea, it's a godsend. ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Bishop, they want to show their protest against the Holy See by honoring Gracies, and even against the Holy See, which is a great disrespect to the God of Light. ”

"Your Excellency Marquis, don't get excited, I know what you're thinking. I will deal with this matter, and the betrayer will definitely pay his own price, but this matter is not so simple, if you want to do it successfully, I am afraid that you will need the assistance of His Excellency the Marquis. ”

Raphael stood up, walked around the table next to him and walked behind Beverley, patting him affectionately on the shoulder.

"My Lord, if there is anything I command, it is my greatest pleasure to be at the service of the Holy See and to you. ”

Being slapped by Rafael's big thick hand, Beverley felt his bones lighter by three points.

"I am very satisfied with your attitude, but I would like to correct one point, you are not working for me, the Holy See is for His Majesty the Pope today, and you and I are both serving the Pope. ”

"Yes, of course I do!"

Beverly looked agitated, stood up, and bowed in thanks.

"Next, I need you to go to His Majesty Boothman Rolland, and on behalf of the Ministry of War, suggest that Boothman Rolland go to Gracies's funeral. If you are able to do this, I will ask His Majesty the Pope for your credit, and when the time comes, not only will the post of Minister of War be yours, but even your title will be upgraded to another level, and the Lord will never treat those who serve him badly. ”

Rafael pressed Beverley back into the stool and patted him on the shoulder to tell him what he had planned.

"Of course, of course, Lord Bishop, I will definitely contribute my modest efforts to the Lord's hegemony. ”

"Come, get a good bottle of wine, I'm going to have a drink with the Marquis, no! the future Duke, and celebrate the success of our cooperation in advance. ”

Raphael swept away his previous gloom, and he commanded the servant with great interest.
