At this moment, most of the other people in the hall have dispersed, and the Sword King was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard Du Di'an's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he turned to look at the black-haired young man sitting upright, his eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled naturally: "It is his blessing that the speaker can take a fancy to him, and his subordinates are very happy to dedicate him to the adults, and I hope that the adults will not dislike him." ”

"Thank you."

The Sword King turned to the attendant behind him and said, "Black Crow, since the Speaker thinks of you, you should follow the Speaker to do a good job, don't lose my face, you know?" ”

The crow nodded, "Yes." He turned to Dudian and said, "The crow is willing to swear to follow the Elder Speaker." ”

Du Dian nodded slightly, and after the Sword King and the rest of the elders in the hall had left, he turned his head to Fei Lan Ke, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Patriarch Fei Lan, the affairs of the military region have to be bothered for you to deal with a lot, and when this matter is completed, I will promote you!" At the beginning, the Hades King harbored evil intentions, and he was not satisfied with getting the position of Deputy Speaker, and wanted to assassinate me, but now that he is dead, the position of Deputy Speaker has been vacant, resulting in many things in our Dark See, which need to be presided over by me personally, and sometimes I am weak! ”

Filan-Kox was stunned, and his heart suddenly beat wildly, and he forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Speaker, the Filan family will do its best to complete your orders!" ”

Du Dian nodded slightly, "You go down first." ”

"Yes." Philan Kox nodded respectfully.

After Philan-x retreated, Dudian glanced at the black crow who was silently bowing his head to the side, and said coldly: "The code name that Risse left you is quite good, 'black crow', the fastest species of the letter bird, the meaning is quite good." ”

The black crow, who bowed his head silently, shook his body, slowly looked up at Du Di'an, and said, "The black crow can't understand the words of the elder speaker, so please make it clear to the adult." ”

"Didn't I say at the previous meeting that the Pope had been kidnapped by me, and he had confessed everything, Mr. Riley." The black crow's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment, looked directly into Du Di'an's eyes, and said, "So, are you going to kill me?" ”

"If I want to kill you, why bother with you." Dudian said indifferently: "Richelieu has abandoned you, your life should have ended, but I am willing to give you another life and be loyal to me, how about it?" ”

Riley's eyes moved slightly, staring at him, and after a moment, he said, "I do." ”

"Good." Dudian smiled and nodded, clapping his hands gently.

Kutch, who was serving as a squire next to him, understood, turned around and came to the back of the hall, "Come out." A moment later a crowd of footsteps rang out, followed by a group of men and women dressed in satin, men and women, young and old, dressed in the satin garments common to nobles, but unable to hide the dark brown scars on their faces, arms, necks, and eyes.

When Riley saw these people, his face suddenly changed, his figure flickered, and he quickly greeted him, holding a middle-aged man with a rickety back in the front, looking at the ugly scars on his arms and neck, he couldn't help but have red eyes, his whole body trembled slightly, he turned his head to look directly at Du Dian, and roared: "If you want to kill me, kill me, why torture my people?!" ”

Du Dian didn't speak, but the middle-aged man who was supported by Riley hurriedly said: "Riley, don't talk nonsense, we can survive thanks to this adult, he is our great benefactor!" ”

Riley was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then looked at Du Dian, and suddenly knew that he had lost his words, and his whole body was shocked into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said to Du Dian: "Lord Speaker, yes, I'm sorry, the crow offended you just now, the crow should be damned, I hope you have a lot of people, you can forgive the crow's people, they are innocent......"

Du Dian raised his hand slightly, stopped his words, and said calmly: "I will never hurt people who are loyal to me, and I will not hurt innocent people, you don't have to worry." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Riley bowed his head in gratitude.

"Kid, it's really nice to see you're okay." The middle-aged man looked at Riley, his face full of distress, and reached out to cover his face.

Riley looked at him in a daze, his eyes were red, and said, "Father, how could you get hurt, who hurt you?" ”

"I don't know." The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Let's go back and talk about this, we have to thank this adult, if it weren't for him, we would have suffered more torture!" ”

Riley nodded, suddenly thought of something, swept into the crowd behind, and suddenly his face changed, bloodless, "Mother, where is Mother?" ”

The middle-aged man opened his mouth slightly, stopped his voice again, his face was ugly, and he clenched his fists and lowered his head.

Du Dian spoke slowly, his face full of apologies, and said, "I'm sorry, we went one step too late, your mother is dead." ”

Riley was struck by lightning and stayed on the spot.

The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, "He's right, your mother...... She couldn't take it anymore and had already gone. ”

Riley felt his body stagger, took a few steps back, stumbled on the leg of his chair, and sat down on one of the Elder's chairs, but he didn't notice it at the moment, and just sat dumbfounded.

Du Dian glanced at him, turned his head to the middle-aged man, and said, "You guys have a good time, I'll go first." ”

When the middle-aged man saw him speak out, he said in awe: "Thank you, my lord!" ”

Dudian immediately took Helissa and left, followed by Katch.

After Du Dian and the others left, after a long time, the blank look in Riley's eyes gradually recovered, and he immediately stood up, rushed to his father with an arrow, stared at his eyes, and said, "Father, did he send someone to harm you and pretend to rescue you?!" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, his face changed, and he frowned: "Probably not, right?" ”

Riley immediately asked, "When were you killed?" ”

"On the fifteenth of last month, it's been a month now." The middle-aged man said immediately.

Riley was slightly stunned, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It doesn't seem to be him." ”

"How do you know?"

"He knows my identity and got it from the Pope, and he has only been kidnapping the Pope for a few days." Riley's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of cold killing intent flashed, "There is someone else who harmed you, I will definitely find out who the murderer is!" ”

The middle-aged man came to his senses, nodded and said, "This adult has captured a person alive and is being interrogated for us, there should be news." ”

"Really?" Riley was stunned.

……

……

It's noon.

On the taverns in various streets such as the outer wall area and the civilian area, all talk about the pope change of the Holy See this time, especially about the origin of the new pope, which is the most curious place for everyone, and they don't care much about why the pope is changing, the first is that they didn't expect it so deep, and the second is that even if they think about it, they know that with their own ability, they can't know the reason.

As for the established facts, everyone wants to know who will be the next pope, whether it is the cardinal they are familiar with, or some secret figure hidden by the Holy See of Light?

"I heard that this new pope is very young, and he must be a genius."

"It should be God's instruction to become a pope at a young age, right?"

"Why doesn't the God of Light take care of me, I don't want to be a pope, just be a knight of light."

"Your faith is a woman, and the God of Light didn't purify you, you're good, you scum!"

In the midst of the conversation in the tavern, a clear voice suddenly said: "As far as I know, this new pope is a once-in-a-century genius of the Holy See of Light, who showed extraordinary talent before the age of ten, and was instructed by the God of Light to enter the dream, and then has been secretly protected by the Holy See of Light, cultivated as the successor of the Pope, it is said that he is not only proficient in poetry, music, but also in swordsmanship. ”

Hearing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but look over, and a strong man who was holding a cup and drinking with a red face said in a rough voice: "Who are you, how do you know this?" ”

The man raised his head and took a sip of wine, laughing and said, "You haven't read the special report of the Holy See of Light, it is all written on it, and today I read the new poems published by Master Antonia, all of which are praises for the new Pope!" You say, if it weren't for a virtuous man, why would Master Antonia praise him like this? You know, Master Antonia is notoriously arrogant, never flatters anyone, and once wrote a poem scolding a certain general of the military district! ”

Hearing his words, the others were a little surprised, and looked at each other, the strong man from before stared at the brass bell-like eyes, and said, "Have you read the special report of the Bright Sect?" Are you a member of the Holy See of Light? ”

The man said proudly: "Although I am not, I have a friend who I heard from him, and this incident has already caused a sensation in the entire Bright Sect. ”

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Cow break! I didn't expect a master like Antonia to write a poem to praise the new pope, I remember that when the last pope succeeded to the throne, the Antonia master didn't write a poem, right? ”

", when the last Pope Richelieu succeeded to the throne, Master Antonia was still wearing open crotch pants!"

"Hahaha......"

"Who are you talking about Master Antonia?"

"You are illiterate, and even Master Antonia does not know? You've read poetry in vain. ”

"You say that people are illiterate, how can illiterate people read poetry?"

The tavern was back in a state of utterance, and the man who had spoken before took out the money while drinking his wine, and then left the tavern quietly, and walked towards the end of the street, and into another tavern.

After Dudian left the Filan family, he suddenly thought of something that had been missed, and said to Kachi, "You go and inform Hawkeye and let him do something." Immediately he told him what had happened.

After hearing this, Kachi was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and promised, "Yes." ”

On the small hill next to Uto Mountain, Barton and the rest of the trainee knights were on duty on the hill, and suddenly, more than a dozen fast horses galloped under the mountain, all of them were snow-white wolf horses of excellent breeds, extremely fast, with sharp teeth, and they were the exclusive mounts of regular knights of light.

On horseback sat a figure in bright silver armor, and in front of these regular knight armor figures of light was a figure in bright red robes, like a fierce flame blooming in the snow, full of divine feeling.

Seeing this blood-red robe, the duty-guarding Barton and the others were stunned, and couldn't help but rub their eyes, that's right, it's the cardinal's clothes!

There's a cardinal here!

Everyone was stunned, but then reacted quickly, and straightened up with excitement and stood up straight.

Ernorin rode to the hill, according to the portrait, at a glance saw the familiar faces of the crowd, a trace of jealousy flashed in the depths of his eyes, but knowing that the matter had come to this, he could not undo it, immediately turned over and dismounted, came to this man, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Excellency is Mr. Patton?" ”

Barton froze.

The other midshippers beside him were also dumbfounded, their eyes wide and their jaws dropping to the ground.

Barton...... Mr?

Cardinal...... Call him that?

Barton reacted, stammering nervously, "Yes, it's me." ”

Seeing such a reaction, Ernolin sighed again in his heart, thinking that in the entire Holy See of Light, people with better conditions than this could be lined up outside the Golden Wall, and he really couldn't understand why Richelieu chose such a waste.

Thinking about it, he remained polite and said, "Mr. Barton, are you free, please come with us." ”

Barton was stunned, and suddenly thought of what Dudian had said before, and his heart jumped suddenly, difficult, isn't that a joke?!

"Yes, I'm free." He hurriedly answered.

"Please follow me." Ernolin immediately turned and returned to his horse.

Barton followed him stunned.

When the other midshipmen saw this scene, they couldn't wait to poke their eyes out, this wooden boy from a down-and-out aristocracy was actually appreciated by the bishop, it was unbearable!

They knew that from now on, they would lose a free laundry worker, and they would have to look up at this man.

Seeing Patton's stupid appearance, El Nolin pointed to a vacant horse and said, "Mr. Patton, please get on the horse." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that a trainee knight could not tame the snow wolf horse, and was about to step forward to make a move, but suddenly saw Barton's body turn over, and he stepped onto the horse by pulling the horse's hair.

The snow wolf horse roared twice in the sky and spun around several times, trying to throw off the person on its back. But the rope was tightly tugged at by Patton, and under his control, the snow wolf horse fell silent in a few moments.

Seeing this, Ernolin was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed slightly, he turned around and turned over his horse, and said, "Mr. Barton, please come with me." ”

"Yes." Barton nodded innocently.

After a few moments of winding along the mountain road, El Nolin led Barton to the top of Uto Hill, dismounted, and walked past St. Mark's Square.

The first time Patton came here, looking at the huge white square, he felt extremely small, his heart was full of nervousness, but more of anticipation and a trace of fear, Dudian had told him that in seven days, he would become the new pope, and then he would only need to succeed to the throne, and he would take care of the rest. Now it seems that this is more than a joke, but it seems to have come true.

It's like a sweet dream, and it pounces on reality.

"Is this a dream? Isn't this a dream? Barton squeezed his fingers hard, his nails pierced deeply, the pain made him feel extremely solid and excited, but more than that, he was afraid, in his mind, the pope was supreme, and he was unknown, could he really be a pope? Will anyone else agree? Will you laugh at yourself? When you become a pope, can you manage the Holy See of Light? And how to manage it?

These thoughts passed through his mind repeatedly.

If Ernolin knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would probably feel speechless in his heart, and then two words would pop up: ignorance.

Barton did not know that the status and significance of the Pope were far beyond his imagination, and if anyone knew the real situation, they would never believe that a cadet knight with no background and no merits could serve as the Pope.

However, the reality was rolling in an incredible direction, and even El Nolin, who was leading the way for Barton, felt a little unable to see clearly, and he couldn't believe that the other seven cardinals could agree to such an unbelievable thing!

And the reason why he agreed was because the order was conveyed by Richelieu, and he was Richelieu's confidant, so he could not refuse, but the others were not, but after the Synod began, the number of votes was completely different from what he thought, and everyone agreed with a high degree of unanimity!

No one vetoed this midshipman and rose from the bottom to the top of the pope!
