Westminster Abbey. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mephistopheles sat in her place, holding a cup of afternoon tea, her eyes lowered as if in contemplation.

In the dim light, Bishop Raymond sat across from his desk, silent. Young Norman was a little fidgety in the heavy atmosphere.

For a long time, the silent Mephistopheles sighed, put down the teacup, and looked sad:

"It's not easy to do. ”

In this regard, Raymond obviously expected this, but only bowed: "We can understand the position of the Anglo Order, as long as we can provide help as much as we can." ”

"It's not a matter of position. ”

Mephistopheles sighed, her white eyes full of helplessness: "To be honest, you're late." If I had come in a few days earlier, I might have been able to introduce you to a few people who are capable of talking, but for now, I really can't help it. After all, the Hand of God seemed to have heard something and had already returned to Anglo ahead of time. ”

Raymond narrowed his eyes and looked at Mephistopheles, "Nothing at all?"

"There's no way around it. ”

Mephistopheles' answer leaves no room for manoeuvre.

Although his expression was heavy and serious, behind the desk, where Raymond could not see, he crossed his legs and swayed leisurely, showing that he did not put the matter of these two people at ease.

To be honest, if it weren't for the other party directly sending the Order's request to himself through secret channels and asking him to cooperate, Mephistopheles wouldn't want to see them at all.

After all, the purpose of their trip was too troublesome, and the water inside was so deep that if they didn't pay attention, Westminster Abbey would be sandwiched between Anglo and the Holy City, and fall into an embarrassing situation.

Mephistopheles has dedicated her youth and heart to this church, and she almost dedicated her children and grandchildren.

After being a moral saint for a lifetime, he will cherish his hard-won reputation more and more. Now that he is old enough to be semi-retired, it would be terrible if the boat capsized in the gutter.

Especially Ye Qingxuan has recently completely established his status and reputation in Anglo and the world, and people with a little brain are unwilling to do anything with him.

The Church has a great cause, and if it is a big deal, it will be lost, so what should I do?

After a lifetime of mixing between Anglo and the Order, being able to get to the point where he is now, and being trusted and supported by the Anglo royal family as an outsider, Mephistopheles can be said to be cunning.

For this reason, he devoted his whole life to smuggling military weapons, and even cooperated with Maxwell to smuggle military weapons in order to raise funds.

To put it inappropriately, although Westminster Abbey is a branch of the Order, in Mephistopheles's heart, it is more of her own private property.

Therefore, he didn't want to meddle in this at all.

Whoever cares is unlucky.

Love who goes.

That's Mephistopheles' true attitude.

But on the surface, it is impossible to say how to logically shirk the errand thrown by the Order and ensure the neutrality of Westminster Abbey, but not so direct and rigid that the Holy City doubts its own ability...... That's the problem.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again and patted his thigh:

"It's not easy to do!"

"Even you can't do anything about it?"

Raymond looked at him intently.

This old man who was born as an ascetic has been in the sacrament ministry all his life, and in addition to his commendable piety, he is not weak in his ability to do things, and he can be said to be a staunch Holy City faction.

Mephistopheles knew this kind of guy, and in his eyes, as long as the Holy City said something, the branches everywhere would go to the soup and fire, and even if they died, they would have to die happily. Now his attitude of shirking is undoubtedly making him unhappy.

But what about unhappiness?

Mephistopheles spread out her hands, showing that I was also desperate, looking sad and helpless, as if her belly was full of sorrow and pain, and she looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Now, I'm afraid you've noticed something......"

He sighed sadly, "To tell you the truth, I don't have much say in Westminster Abbey at the moment, didn't you notice when you came?"

Raymond was stunned for a moment, and Norman looked at each other.

I didn't expect Mephistopheles to say that.

"Did you see it when you came?" Mephistopheles walked to the window, drew the curtains, and looked out through the gap in the curtain as if he could see it, "the knights who guarded around the church, and the people in the church who didn't look like preachers at all. ”

Raymond was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed: "You mean, they are all from the Inquisition?"

"That's right. ”

Mephistopheles nodded heavily: "Don't say help you with activities, even if I go out now, I must get their consent, and the daily food and reception are supervised by special people......"

"What? Isn't this house arrest!"

Norman exclaimed, Mephistopheles was also stunned for a moment, and then resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and nodded seriously: "That's right, house arrest!"

He pretended to look around cautiously, then locked the door two more layers, and after turning around, he had a sad face: "Ye Qingxuan, that guy, is simply a wolf's ambition. As early as when he first came to Avalon, he had already forcibly taken over the church. Not only that, but not only that, but they also stationed all the people of the Inquisition and put us under house arrest.

Even if I go to the bathroom, there will be a guy named Stone who will follow me to prevent me from making any moves......"

If Ye Qingxuan was here, he would definitely spit in his face.

Ahh

Where did I take over? You took the initiative to force the ring on me! And in order to protect the church, you also brought in the people of the Inquisition to guard it.

The first deputy head of the dignified witch's hammer is staring at you to go to the toilet with a co-author? Do you want to be ashamed! Don't talk about the dirty deal between you and Stone, Westminster Abbey and the Inquisition are already so good that they are like glue...... You're so embarrassed to splash dirty water on me!

I have to say that the skin of the moral saint is really easy to use sometimes, especially when you say that you are persecuted, combined with Ye Qingxuan's reputation that is almost stained red by blood, it is full of credibility!

The affair between Mephistopheles and Stone is not clear to any third person at all. And Westminster Abbey has long been tied to the Inquisition, and only a few of his henchmen know about it.

Therefore, after Mephistopheles said such nonsense, Raymond did not doubt it, but his expression became more and more heavy.

Bishop Raymond pondered for a long time, and sighed sadly: "I am afraid that the plan of His Excellency the Hand of God is not small, and I don't know if what the Order has done is to raise tigers or not. ”

"Can't we strip the title of Hand of God?" Norman asked in a low voice, "remove him as archbishopric and revoke the Inquisition." ”

"How is that possible?"

Raymond smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Regardless of the huge structure of the Inquisition, no matter how you say it, you can withdraw it, and the order of the Order will be changed every day." Even if it is the title of the Hand of God, I'm afraid we can't do anything about it. After all, with the Staff of Destiny in hand and the support of the original Inquisition, the Hand of God is well deserved. If we act rashly, we will only make things worse. ”

Norman was stunned for a moment, a little lacking in confidence: "Then we ...... Think long-term?"

"There can be no delay, and the One has not given us time to make a roundabout. ”

Raymond shook his head: "Judging from the way he returned to Avalon ahead of schedule, I'm afraid he already knew what we were coming for." We can't say enough to do these little gestures anymore, so let's meet them directly. ”

Saying this, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

In the original plan, they planned to bypass the hand of the god first, secretly enlist the support of Anglo, and after winning the support of the vast majority of the people, they would start the interview and solve the problem with one final word.

But now it seems that Anglo may have been managed by the hand of the god into a monolith, and there is no way to break through.

The nobles, who had previously held an important position in the House of Commons of the Anglo, suffered many casualties 'for some reason' after this war.

Coincidentally, those who remained were staunch supporters of the Hand of God.

The secret messenger sent to the royal family was an out-and-out stupid move, but instead caused the hand of the god to return to Anglo ahead of schedule, which frustrated their arrangement and shocked the snake.

The new king Mary not only did not have any fears and estrangements towards a careerist like Ye Qingxuan, who was in a high position and had high achievements, but she had full trust in him, and she did not have any idea of reducing his power.

Where is there a king who wants to share his royal power with another man?

Thinking of this, Raymond couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that the rumors are true: the city of the hand of the god is deep and well-calculated, and he has long been laid out for his current status.

Now it seems that this scheming is simply terrifying.

Not only did he control the entire Lower Angru through Maxwell's support, but also before the new king succeeded to the throne, when he was still Queen Mary, he had already deceived her trust, no, maybe even his body!

A woman in love is completely unreasonable, and she is completely obedient to her beloved, even if she gives him this Anglo.

Through the Inquisition, Westminster Abbey was controlled, and the majority of the people were reinstated.

By overcoming natural disasters, he erected his glorious image, carried the momentum of the national savior, and then killed his uncle, plotted to seize the position of the head of the Knights of the Round Table, and held the military in his hands.

In just a few months, he has spread his cobwebs all over the country, and once it is launched, he has all the royal power, divine power, political power and military power, and there is also a spy department such as the Fifth Department as his eyes and ears.

In just one year, he has gone from a wanderer to the uncrowned king of Anglo......

And Maxwell, who has the grace of knowing him, his uncle Lancelot, and even the cause of death of the old king may not be simple.

Such scheming, such skill, such determination and ruthlessness......

It's horrible.

Now, Raymond can only be glad that the Holy See did not keep him in the Holy City, otherwise he would probably be the next Ludovic, the next Holy City Single-Hearted Monks!

"At this point, thinking about these things that can't be put on the table will only make people laugh. ”

Raymond sighed, and immediately, his expression became resolute: "Archbishop Mephistopheles, please introduce me to His Excellency the Hand of God." You must be able to do this little thing, right?"

"Of course. ”

Mephistopheles bowed her head and solemnly sent them away, and when she turned back, she opened the window, and looked at the place where they had departed, with white eyes, and laughed gloatingly.

Not knowing what they were going to do, Mephistopheles could conclude that if they thought they were going to do it in the Holy City...... Then they're going to be out of luck!
