Chapter 315: Captivity
Even though Ma Long knew it very well in his heart, he didn't dare to be perfunctory except for hesitation, forcibly calmed down, took a deep breath, looked directly into Mien's eyes and said, "I think the Holy Law Archbishop Church is the best candidate. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In terms of seniority, Frankie is indeed the best candidate for the Pope.
It's just that Mien didn't say much about it, and said lightly, "How can you see it?"
But the more calm Mien became, the more nervous Ma Long became, looking at Mien's bland appearance, he was a little puzzled.
After clearing his thoughts, he was silent for a moment and said, "The Archbishop of Sunnah and Archbishop Reggie have always been vigorously recommending him at the synod, and the Archbishop of the Holy Inquisition has never been involved in these things, so..."
Speaking of this, Malone didn't dare to continue, but looked at Mien cautiously, as if he was speculating about the adult's thoughts.
After all, he is a figure in the line of the Holy Archbishop, so it is very likely that the adult in front of him will think that he is deliberately clearing the name of someone.
In addition to the fact that the head of the Holy Knights has a close relationship with the Pope, Ma Long, who was not involved in the early construction of the Church, does not know which archbishop is the Pope's confidant.
It is very likely that rash remarks will have some very bad effects in the mind of this adult.
It may even cause this adult to be prejudiced against a certain archbishop because of his careless words!
You know, the Black Hand Brotherhood is where it is today because it is backed by a strong and unified church!
Mien leaned back in his chair and took a sip of the black tea that had turned cold, he knew what Ma Long was afraid of, the struggle for power has always been silent, but it is full of power and blood!
With a smile on his face, in order not to put too much pressure on Ma Long, he diverted the topic, "I'm not surprised that Frankie is the first choice, okay, let's not talk about this for the time being." ”
"Do you know where Loren and Hilda are now?"
While Mean wasn't continuing the conversation, Theodore and Reggie were thinking something Mien had already understood.
The nomination of Frankie as the second pope seems to be a recognition of his status and qualifications, and even a kind of recommendation! But Theodore, a careerist, is probably interested in the position of the archbishop of the Central Diocese.
You must know that to become pope is to return to the holy city of Lotta, and the central diocese includes all the political and economic centers of the north, including Lidney, and even the cathedral is only a meal away from the royal palace.
Not everyone can sit in the middle of nowhere, like Mine, or even give orders from afar, and unless there are decades of precipitation, it is difficult to have a person with such prestige and power.
Moreover, Mien himself did not impose the power of the archbishop in his doctrine, nor did he give the Pope the power of regularity.
It's not too surprising that we have come to this point.
It's just that Frankie was forcibly pushed to the cusp of the tripartite power game between the royal family, Theodore and Samieh, and it was really difficult for him.
Ma Long was slightly stunned, a little uncomfortable with such a quick change of topic, "Loren... Do you mean the Gray-Clad Juggernaut?"
Mien raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Gray-clothed Sword Master?"
When did Loren, who was confused in his life, have such a nice nickname, he was worried that this young man would not be able to think about it, but now it seems that he thinks too much.
Malone nodded, "That young man hasn't been back to the Holy See since you mysteriously disappeared, and it seems that someone saw him in the Duchy of Albich a month ago. ”
There was a moment of silence, and his voice seemed to sigh a little, "Hilda now lives in the northeastern part of the continent with his people...... I think you should check her out. ”
Thinking of the Fourth Saint mission, Mien put away his smile and said in a solemn tone, "I'll go." ”
can make Malone have such a tone, I'm afraid that the mixed-race ranger has had a very bad time in the past few years.
After a little chat, and having lunch upstairs, Mien was ready to rest for the day and set off for the north to-morrow.
At night, the hustle and bustle of the casino is still brightly lit.
The mysterious creations bought at a high price are even comparable to electric lights!
Mine sat in a chair, a book in his hand and read with relish.
In addition to black tea, reading is one of the few hobbies that Minn has.
Hearing a knock on the door, Meehn's eyes didn't take his eyes off the page, "The door is open, come in." ”
"My lord, there will be a big auction later, I wonder if you are interested in participating?"
When I looked up and saw Ma Long dressed up, I subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, there was nothing else to do now, maybe I could use this to learn more about the strength of the Black Hand Brotherhood today.
Closing the book, Meen smiled gently, "Why not?"
Seeing that Mien agreed, Marlon motioned for five attendants who were already waiting outside the door with clothes to come in, and at the same time said, "My lord, I have chosen a few sets of clothes for you that fit, if you don't like it, I can order..."
Minn put the book on the table and took the last sip of black tea, "Don't bother, I'm in good clothes right now." ”
Glancing at Mine's somewhat dirty black robe, he didn't say anything more, and made a gesture of please, "Then my lord, I'll leave now, maybe I can take you to see the upcoming auction items first, and if you are interested, I will take a picture for you." ”
The two walked through the hallway covered with expensive marble to another hall, the Plantagenet Auction House.
The backstage was filled with hurried attendants, and the appraisers were inspecting each item one by one, looking very busy.
Mien followed Marlon to visit all kinds of exhibits, such as the diamonds in the crown of the kingdom of such and such a dynasty, the enchanted swords, mysterious creations, and so on.
But that's not what caught Meen's attention, in a special compartment, two women and one man, three naked humans were locked in cages, and five big and three thick maids with glowing mysterious creatures were checking whether their bodies had been cleaned.
The maid holds a garment as thin as a cicada's wing in her other hand, which she will put on the woman after the examination.
Meen frowned slightly, "Didn't you tell you there was a slave auction here?"
Even though Meen now had the power to treat mortals as ants, he still didn't like to see a living human being treated like a livestock to be slaughtered.
Seeing the numb expressions on their faces, it was hard to imagine that there was such a sordid human trade beneath the dark side of the Holy See.
Although Meen never took the shit theory of 'everyone equal' in the narrow sense seriously, to put it waywardly, Meen just didn't like it.
Marlon looked at Mien and smiled mysteriously, but just as he wanted to say something, a servant hurriedly walked and whispered in Marlon's ear, "My lord, Miss Charles wanted to commit suicide again just now, but she was rescued by the guards, and she just gave her a sleeping potion, do you want to go and see." ”
Ma Long was slightly stunned, but his face remained unchanged, "I'll go back to see her later." ”
The servant bowed his head slightly and withdrew.
Although their voices were small, the words spoken by the servants fell to Mien's ears word for word.
Charles Teresa Charles?
My heart sank instantly, but there was no expression on my face.
Malone looked at Mean and smiled, "Something happened in the casino just now, look at my memory, where did we talk about just now?" )
