Chapter 636: Alarm the Eight Directions
"Sooner or later, why be afraid?" Du Dian said indifferently: "Prepare." β
Richelieu looked at him deeply, lowered his head, and said, "Yes." β
Sou!
A snow pigeon flew down to the windowsill of Kaveh's study, Kaveh was recording the secret activities of the third district of the Dark Holy See in recent days, ready to present it to him when the Pope returned, seeing the snow dove that suddenly landed and disturbed, he frowned, stopped his pen and took off the scroll on the snow pigeon's feet, slowly rubbed and shook it away, after a while, his pupils shrank, and he lost his voice in shock, "Succession?" Give a little midshipman a promotion? β
The tiny font on the scroll was real, and after a few moments, Kaveh slowly came to his senses, still in disbelief, even thinking that someone had secretly borrowed the messenger or replaced the letter.
"Check it out first, and then we'll talk about it......," he thought to himself, and immediately pulled out a new piece of snow paper from the side and put pen to paper.
Antonia, a famous poet in another place, was drinking wine, explaining the difference between the rhythm of classical poetry and modern poetry to his two proud students, suddenly, his brows moved slightly, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, he quietly stopped explaining, and said: "After class today, what was mentioned above, you go back and think about it, remember, emotion is not the only thing in poetry, poetry not only praises, but also criticizes, and most importantly, poetry must have dignity!" β
"Yes."
"Yes, Teacher."
The two students stood up respectfully and saluted, and took their leave.
After the two students left, Antonia said indifferently: "Sir, come out." β
A figure shrouded in black robes slowly walked out of a dark shadow behind the room, and his body seemed to be filled with a vague mist, making it difficult to see his face and figure, and he chuckled: "The master implanted the hunter's eyeballs, and his perception is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. β
"Don't dare." Antonia said indifferently: "Sir is the master." β
"After the award, we will only engage in some evil ways in your mouth, which cannot be compared with you, a great poet." The black-robed figure smiled, then stopped laughing, and said, "I came to you today, mainly because the Holy See gave you a task, and I hope you must complete it within today!" β
"Huh? What task? Antonia frowned.
The black-robed figure said in a low voice: "As always, I still write poetry, this time I am writing poetry in praise of a trainee knight of the Bright Sect, his name is 'Patton'!" β
"Sing the praises of a midshipman?" Antonia was a little surprised, and it was also from the Holy See of Light? When did the Dark Curia become so kind? He pondered for a moment and said, "Is there anything peculiar about this man?" β
"There's nothing special about it, it's just an ordinary person." The black-robed figure said slowly: "However, his identity is not ordinary, and he is about to ascend the throne as the new pope." β
"The new Pope?" Antonia stood up from his chair abruptly and looked at the black-robed figure in shock, "You mean, Richelieu is going to abdicate?" How could it be, how could this happen so suddenly? β
"It's very sudden, that's why you need to write hymns for the new pope, so that everything feels natural." The black-robed figure said.
Antonia was stunned, suddenly came to his senses, and a chill appeared in his heart, and said, "Could it be that the matter of the change of popes was planned by your Dark Holy See?" How is this possible! β
"That's not what you should know, it's time to think about how to write a good hymn." The black-robed figure said coldly: "After writing and handing it over to the book club of the Rice Chamber of Commerce, they will print it for you as soon as possible." β
"Rice Chamber of Commerce?" Antonia's face changed slightly, although he did not negotiate deeply with the Dark See, he knew that the Dark Church was manipulating behind this Chamber of Commerce, that is to say, this matter was completely planned by the Dark See!
He really can't imagine how the Dark Holy See can suddenly get involved in the matter of the change of popes, you know, the Holy See of Light has been pressing the Dark Holy See for so many years, otherwise, the Dark Holy See will not succumb to the dark Middle East to hide, after all, in the process of hiding, it is very painful for many dark cultists, they are hunted down everywhere, they can't see anyone, they can only live alone in a dark place, and life is very inconvenient, which also leads to many dark cultists as they join the church for a longer time, The more weird and cold the temperament becomes.
However, now, the Dark Cultists have directly controlled the heart of the Holy See of Light, which is simply unthinkable!
Once the Holy See of Light is in the hands of the Holy See of Darkness, he can't imagine what the outer wall will become in the future, when the light becomes darkness, but the darkness mixes with the light, will it be chaos, or destruction?
His thoughts were a little confused and confused, and soon, the words of the black-robed figure interrupted his thoughts: "Another thing, at noon, the newspaper of the Rice Chamber of Commerce sent someone to interview you, during the interview, please be sure to support the new Pope, Mr. Patton, he is a great leader, I hope you will keep this in mind!" β
Antonia came back to his senses, his face changed, he knew that the meaning of the other party's request to remember this sentence was that his praise of the new pope during the interview should be carried out around this core, and there should be no other words that are reminiscent of negative.
This interview is just a show, and even if he doesn't say so, most of the newspapers will "speak for him".
"I see." He bowed his head slightly and agreed.
The dawn shone down from the slopes of Mount Utop, and the warm light dispelled the darkness and chill that shrouded countless buildings, and the newspaper delivery boy rode a fast horse to deliver the newspaper to every house, some of them were aristocratic manors, some were rich compounds, some were exquisite huts, from the bustling area of the outer wall area, all the way to the suburbs, and then to various towns and villages.
The newspaper delivery people are like ants, wandering through the streets, carrying information.
A farmer drank steaming thick soup, ate cheese bread, flipped through the morning newspaper at half past seven in the morning, and enjoyed this leisurely breakfast moment, but when the newspaper was opened, he was stunned, his eyes widened, and he forgot to swallow the thick soup in his mouth, and almost flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and looked at the message on the largest section of the headline in the newspaper in amazement-
"Mr. Richelieu, the ninth pope of the Holy See of Light, will inherit the papal throne today and be ruled by a new God-given person!"
The farmer was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly looked down, and after a while, he finished reading the whole newspaper, and now the heat on the thick soup was long gone, and the cheese bread next to him was cold, but he completely forgot about it, and fell into deep thought.
You know, the matter of pope succession, even for ordinary people like him, is a big thing! In addition to spreading faith and building temples, the Holy See of Light is also in charge of the division of land, as well as the taxation of part of the land, as well as the asylum tax, etc., the so-called asylum tax is what everyone needs to pay, even ordinary civilians in civilian areas are no exception, unless they are so poor that they fall into the slums and become refugees.
This shelter tax includes a lot, the invasion of dark cultists, the invasion of monsters outside the wall, etc., but it does not include the invasion of wild beasts, which is the responsibility of the military department.
Therefore, if the pope is replaced, these taxes may change! This has happened in the past when the pope was replaced, and after the sixth pope took office, the biggest change was made, and the asylum tax was increased by 10% in one go! It made all the civilians miserable, but fortunately, the Pope had only been in office for less than ten years before he was attacked and killed by the Dark Cult.
It was one of the few moments in history when many people were grateful to the Cultists.
The farmer was worried about the "new pope...... this year's harvest was not good, and if the new pope raised taxes, his family would be burdened and even face the dismissal of serfs.
With the morning newspaper issued, there were exclamations one after another in the courtyards of various manors, this sudden news, so that everyone was caught off guard, I didn't expect this pope to change so suddenly, like such a sudden alternation, although there have been in history, but there are not many times, is it that the previous pope has something unexpected in his body? For a while, countless people speculated.
At the same time, he is also full of curiosity about the new pope.
In the room of the headquarters of the Inquisition, Feyeat looked at the newspaper in his hand, read it over and over again, and read every word carefully, until there was no possibility of any mistakes, he slowly put down the newspaper, and with a bang, he slapped the newspaper on the table suddenly, and his eyes almost spewed flames, "Damn Richelieu, what the hell are you going to do?!" β
"My lord, the Pope is going to abdicate, why hasn't this matter been realized to inform us, could it be that he suddenly got some serious disease?" An old man in a priest's robe next to him asked suspiciously.
Feyat clenched his fingers, crumpled the newspaper into a ball, clenched it tightly, and said, "With his vigilance, do you think you will get a bad disease?" This old guy cherishes his life the most, and several doctors around him are the best in the outer wall area, if there is any serious disease, it will be found out a long time ago! β
"Then why did he suddenly abdicate?" The old priest was even more puzzled, "Could it be that the life span is almost over?" No, as far as I know, he should live to be over a hundred years old. β
Fayeat said coldly: "This matter, you have to ask this old thing to know, damn it, I don't know where he is hiding now, I heard before that he was attacked by assassins, and someone infiltrated the upper echelons of the Holy See, so he disappeared, I didn't expect this disappearance, it would make such a big thing!" β
The old priest was stunned: "Could it be that someone kidnapped him and forced him to pass on the throne?" β
Fayeat narrowed his eyes slightly, "There is such a possibility, but it is not big, the strength of this old guy ...... It's much stronger than the Great Light King! β
"Huh?" The old priest was stunned.
"Immediately inform the presiding judges of the branches, and tell them to dispatch everyone to find this old guy for me!" FayΓ©at's eyes were cold, and he said, "I want to see what he wants to do when he suddenly gives way!" β
"Yes."
At the same time, in the Hall of Knights, nine elders who had received the title of Legendary Knight gathered in the Council Hall, and Elora looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, Richelieu is going to abdicate, it was too sudden, who knows Richelieu's whereabouts now?" β
"Great Elder, this matter is too sudden, if the ordinary people can't get the news, it's normal, but we don't have any news in advance, will there be anything greasy in this?" Another humane.
"Yes, in my opinion, Richelieu should have some plan and purpose for making such a decision, and he has to guard against it!"
"Yes, in recent years, the Holy See of Light has oppressed our Knight Hall more and more, if it weren't for the nobles standing on the same line with us, we would have suffered a big loss! However, the new rules of the Holy See of Light five years ago, you must still know that any nobleman who joins the Holy See of Light can pass the exam unconditionally, and after about three years of employment, he can become an official Knight of Light, and if he performs well, he will be promoted faster! This rule is obviously to rob us of the power of the nobility! β
"There have always been a lot of small actions in the Bright Sect, hum!"
"I don't know if there is any cooperation from the military department in this incident."
Ilora listened to everyone's speeches and was silent for a moment before she said, "Be sure to find Richelieu before noon today!" Also, go and find out what the background of the new pope is! β
"Leave the matter of the new pope to me!" One of the old men took the initiative.
"Okay!" Ilora nodded.
Moments later, the council ended.
The crowd dispersed.
The old man who proposed to investigate the new pope left the knight's hall and went straight back to his castle, and as soon as he entered the castle, he went upstairs to his room, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure wearing a black robe and a mask sitting on the sofa in the middle of his room, enjoying tea, crossing his legs, and a black scorpion tattoo on his wrist.
Dare to engrave a tattoo in such a conspicuous position as the wrist, obviously either an extremely careless rookie, or extremely confident.
"What was the outcome of the meeting?" The black-robed man turned his head to look at the old man who entered the door, and said with a smile.
When the old man saw his comfortable appearance, he suffocated slightly, lowered his face, and said: "This is my home, you better be careful, if I am seen by others, I will be exposed!" β
"Don't worry." The black-robed man smiled and said, "If someone else approaches, I don't need to open the door, I will know." β
The old man knew his ability, but he still felt that such an attitude made him a little unhappy, frowned slightly, didn't pursue anything more, sat on the other side of the sofa, and said: "Everyone else also thinks that this pope replacement is too sudden, and there is no news in advance, thinking that there is any plan inside, so at present, everyone else is investigating, preparing to find out Richelieu's whereabouts first." β
"Well, that's what our grown-a-lord expected." The black-robed man nodded slightly.
The old man's eyes moved, and he said, "Who is that adult?" β
"That's what I told you last time." The black-robed man glanced at him, "Lord who has subdued the twelve elders overnight, our new Speaker!" β
