The carriage stopped in front of the stairs, Mu Feng stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and Jacqueline supported the white-haired archbishop.

"Your Excellency Merlin, the Holy Envoy and the four archbishops have been waiting for a long time, and just half an hour ago, the Holy Envoy was angry and threw something once......"

"Oh, I see. Merlin smiled, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Shen Yun got out of the carriage and was about to follow behind Merlin, but was stopped by Mu Feng reaching out.

"Who are you?" asked the Silver Knight with an unkind look, "how come I have never seen you?"

Shen Yun didn't speak, just looked at him expressionlessly.

"Mu Feng, she is my new maid. Merlin turned around, "What, do I have to report back to you?"

"Your Excellency Merlin, Mu Feng didn't mean that. Seeing that the archbishop's tone became cold, Jacqueline hurriedly walked over to play the round, "It's just that the Holy Envoy has ordered tonight that no one should be brought into the Holy Church today except the Archbishop himself." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Merlin slowly glanced at the two of them, and there was a faint glint in his cloudy eyes.

"I joined the Holy See at the age of 14, and it has been more than 90 years since I joined the Holy See, and I have served the Holy Envoy for several generations, so how come this situation has never been encountered?"

The two big knights bowed their heads and were silent, the powerful coercion emanating from the old man's body almost suffocated them, but they still stubbornly blocked in front of Shen Yun, without the slightest intention of compromise.

"In that case, you can wait for me here. Merlin didn't continue to embarrass them, but chose to turn away.

The archbishop climbed the stairs, and the holy knights on both sides saluted with their swords in turn, and their movements were uniform and respectful.

However, Merlin watched coldly, and these guards had unconsciously shown a little murderous intent.

Although many people are already trying their best to hide it, where can they hide it from his eyes.

Mu Feng and Jacqueline followed closely behind them, the two of them were horns at each other, and their slightly trembling right hands were already pressed on the hilt of the sword.

"Don't be nervous, since I'm here, I won't leave easily. Merlin smiled slightly, "Besides, if I really want to leave, I'm afraid you people won't be able to stop me." ”

Mu Feng smiled awkwardly and quietly let go of the hilt of his sword: "Your Excellency Merlin said that we are just doing our duty, and we have no other meaning. ”

Merlin nodded noncommittally, and after walking a dozen or so steps, he had come to the grand entrance of the Sanctuary, where a female knight with a swollen figure but not angry was standing aside.

Behind her stood ten tall knights, led by the Grand Knight Gru.

"Gloria, long time no see. The archbishop smiled and greeted, "It should have been more than thirty years since the last goodbye, right?"

"Thirty-seven years, Lord Merlin. Gloria nodded slightly, "The Holy Envoy has been waiting for a long time, please!"

"I didn't expect to bother you to lead the way, Antonio really thinks too highly of me. Merlin still had an approachable smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Merlin, although you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties and have a high position, please do not call the Holy Envoy by his name. The Sky Survey Knight unceremoniously counted, "Lord Saint is the only spokesperson of the God of Light in the world, and no one is allowed to slack off!"

"I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for so long, and you are still the upright and stubborn little girl back then. Merlin sighed and said with a look of regret, "Lead the way, I'd like to see what kind of food the Holy Envoy has prepared tonight for everyone." ”

"You won't be disappointed, Lord Merlin. Gloria smiled meaningfully, then turned and pushed open the huge, ornate temple door.

The great knight Gru behind her had a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something, but unfortunately Merlin turned a blind eye and walked directly into the sanctuary.

At the entrance, you can see six huge pillars carved with seraphims, and there are a total of forty-eight such pillars in the sanctuary.

In the texts of the Holy See, Seraphim is the most powerful warbringer under the throne of Light, capable of sweeping away all evil in the world, and only demons from the abyss can match it.

Gloria is invincible because she is half Seraphim.

Of course, this is just a rumor in the Holy See, and it has not been confirmed, after all, the angels have been extinct for hundreds of years.

However, the vast majority of the sect members were convinced that it was impossible for humans to be able to violently shake the seventh-order alien beasts.

There was a long round table in the main hall of the temple, which was filled with all kinds of fine wine and food, and the four archbishops were already seated, and on Phil's left hand was a charming woman with still charm, and on his right hand was a black-robed man who had wrapped himself tightly, and if it were not for the grandeur of his chest, it would not have been possible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

A stout woman with three normal human sizes occupied two chairs alone, her eyes were small, her ears and nose were huge, and there was not a trace of hair on her round head, and she was holding a burnt roasted beef leg and nibbling on it.

Sitting at the top was a middle-aged man with a white beard, wearing a well-tailored black aristocratic gown, none other than the current Holy Envoy Antonio.

There was a sudden muffled sound behind him, and the heavy door of the temple had been closed again, completely cut off from the outside.

Merlin walked to his place with an indifferent face, and except for Phil, who was covered in a cold sweat, the other three archbishops did not react at all.

Of the seven archbishops, only Phil is an ordinary person who has climbed to this position only because he is Antonio's own half-brother.

There were still two empty seats in the table, which belonged to Murphy and Thorin.

Antonio was concentrating on a steak on his plate.

The blood-drenched steak was still steaming and had not been cooked at all, apparently just a piece of freshly cut raw meat!

Merlin didn't speak after taking his seat, but just sat there quietly, his eyelids drooping slightly, as if an old monk had settled down.

Gloria stood silently behind the Holy Emissary, her eyes watching him warily.

Pieces of raw beef were brought to Antonio's mouth, and when he chewed hard, the blood juice in the meat flowed down the corners of his mouth, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Phil, who was already frightened, saw this scene with a churning stomach and almost threw up.

Although he and Antonio are brothers, they can't stand his brother's unique hobby.

The sound of the two of them biting and chewing echoed in the quiet hall, and the palm-sized raw steak was quickly dissolved, and Antonio picked up a silk towel embroidered with gold patterns and gently wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, acting generously and elegantly.

A maid immediately served a steaming dark red drink, and the smell of blood in the air suddenly became a little stronger.

Antonio shook the cup a few times, brought it to the tip of his nose and took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and felt the pleasure of the smell of blood spreading through his nose.

"Gloria, I guess it's a cow about a year and a half, right?"

"Yes host, one year and seven months to be exact. The Sky Survey Knight replied respectfully.

"Virgin blood that has not been contaminated by the opposite sex really has the purest taste......" Antonio took a sip, and his pale face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction.

A look of disgust appeared on Merlin's old face, and he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and in a short time a slight snoring sounded.

A discordant sound reached the ears of the Holy Envoy, and his face suddenly straightened, and he slammed the goblet in his hand on the table with a loud bang.

Philton was startled and almost slipped under the table.

Since the last hijacking, he has become a frightened bird, and his fragile little heart can't tolerate the slightest fright.

The woman taller than him was still feasting, and the seductive woman's gaze kept wandering over Merlin and Antonio, and the black-robed woman did not change at all, sitting still like a clay sculpture of wood.

"Mr. Merlin, I sent someone to invite you to a dinner early in the morning, why are you more than an hour late?" asked Antonio with a gloomy face, "I heard that you went to the outer city in the afternoon, is there anything more important than my banquet?"

Merlin slowly opened his eyes and replied expressionlessly: "Lord Huisheng, my visit to the outer city is indeed very important, it is related to the rise and fall of the Holy See, and naturally it must take precedence over this dispensable dinner. ”

"Bold!" the Sky Survey Knight shouted loudly, "Merlin, how dare you be so disrespectful to the Holy Envoy, believe it or not, I let you spill your blood on the spot?"

"Don't get excited, Gloria. Antonio pretended to persuade, "We can first listen to Mr. Merlin's explanation, since he said that the life and death of the Holy See are at stake, it must be something very important." ”

"Your Excellency, I will explain this to you later. Merlin smiled, "Please announce the contents of today's dinner first." ”

"Your Excellency has invited you here today to discuss a matter. Gloria's gaze swept over each of the archbishops, "Who was responsible for the kidnapping the night before, and Lord Thorin was also missing on the same night, what is the connection between them?"

"No, I'll put this aside for now, I have a question to ask first. Antonio waved his hand, and Gloria immediately bowed and stepped back, standing behind the Holy Envoy again.

"Mr. Merlin, I wonder what you think about the attack on the city by the alien beasts that happened today?" Antonio said as he stared at the old man, as if trying to find some clues in the cloudy eyes of the other man.

"The subordinates felt that the Shadow Son was deliberately attracted by someone, and as for the purpose of this person, it is unknown for the time being. Merlin replied with a blank face.

"Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, and Gloria and I used to have the same idea as you. Antonio clapped his hands lightly, "Since Mr. Merlin knows that today is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, can you cast a great prophecy spell so that we can find out the culprit......
