Ten days had passed since Thorin's attack by the Immortals. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Nicholas was imprisoned in the 'Inquisitor Prison', Mien had specifically instructed that only those of the rank of archbishop and above had the right to see him, and that no one else was allowed to approach him.

During the three days he was in prison, Nicholas did not receive even a little punishment except that he could not bask in the sun.

But what is even more terrifying than the punishment is that it is filled with the painful wails of the tortured all the time!

With piercing screams and a tangy smell of blood and musty, the damp dungeon was shrouded in fear like a dark abyss.

For a few days, he was left here unnoticed, and every time a scream came from the deeper bottom, Nicholas couldn't help but tremble, and his face turned pale.

The whole person shrank in the corner, even if it was just a guard walking through the corridor, the thud from the hard-soled riding boots made him nervous!

I'm afraid that the next person to be taken down will be myself!

...

The Inquisitor's Prison, built in secret only two months ago under the supervision of the Inquisition.

The people who are locked up here are all heinous murderers or the remnants of the 'Holy Bishops'.

A black-clad bishop who was once interviewed by Mien is still being held here for serious violations of the precepts.

If not far from this place, the Lidney Cathedral is solemn and magnificent, representing the bright side of the Holy See.

Then the 'Inquisitor Prison' and the 'Iron Ridge Mountain Secret Prison' in Santa Lotta are the shadows and darkness of the Holy See bathed in the Holy Light!

With his arms clasped around his knees, the only thing on Nicholas' mind now was what had happened to the letter he had sent back.

Will the father pay the Holy See such a ransom for himself?

There is no concept of time here, except for three meals a day.

The afterglow brushed at the marks he had carved into the wall, it was the ninth day he had been here.

Calculate carefully, if you hurry up and hurry day and night, I'm afraid that news will come back today.

Although Nicholas is a gray-robed mystic, he has witnessed the extraordinary strength of the guards here and seen the Black Cavalry stationed here, and the idea of escape has long been extinguished in his heart.

Just as his mind was full of cranky thoughts, two black-robed guards covered in blood stopped in front of him.

Nicholas suddenly felt his heart sink and his teeth clenched, the time to come is still coming!

One of the guards opened the gate with a key and walked over to unshackle Nicholas, his voice hoarse.

"Let's go, the Lord has prepared your meal, and when you're done, you can go where you need to go. ”

Hearing the guard's words, Nicholas's eyes were glazed, and his whole person instantly froze in place.

At this time, there was only one voice echoing in his head.

Father actually refused?!

...

Four days later, the Scorching Sun Palace.

As is customary, today was supposed to be the day when the royal family invited the kingdom's magnates out hunting.

But at this time, the palace was shrouded in slaughter.

The sound of cries and smashing came from the depths of the palace, but no one dared to go in and take a look.

More than a dozen Kingdom officials stood in the garden outside the palace, their faces awe-inspiring, their heads bowed and silent.

Although the royal family has blocked the news to the outside world, they all have their own eyes and ears in this palace, and they all know very well what is going on.

Besides, the wooden box that the guards had brought in just now emitted a strong stench.

It is also a confirmation of what they think in their hearts.

Nicholas Burning Sun, the great prince whom His Majesty loved most and who single-handedly promoted the institution of court mages, died in the far north.

And his cheap teacher is also gone.

But I think most of them died there!

In just a few years, the Holy See of Light has been like a balloon blowing up!

And this is clearly an act of revenge for the death of those thirteen missionaries!

For the whole morning, the gates of the palace were tightly closed, and no one could enter or leave the place.

Pazzi Albizi, who was stationed in the city of the scorching sun as an envoy, was also standing outside the palace at this time, but compared to the others who had become cautious about this matter, he was already in his thirties at this time, and he was thinking about other things.

It was delivered almost at the same time as Nicholas's head, and today he received a secret message from the family.

The Holy See wants to cooperate with them and end the rule of the Scorching Sun over the Kingdom of Enomoson!

As a blood transfusion for the royal family and controls most of the economic lifeline, it is not very difficult to bring down the Burning Sun family.

But the only problem is that not only them, but also the DuPont family and the Rothschilds are also two other important economic pillars of the royal family.

Although they are a little worse than Albizi, who has extensive knowledge and a foothold in commerce, these two are the largest arms suppliers in the kingdom, and the other is relying on 0 loans, making huge profits in various gray areas of the kingdom, and even in the former ruins of the Duchy Alliance and the Blue Mountains Kingdom!

But Pazzi prefers to call one of them an arms dealer and the other a money lender.

In the last war, Albizi was able to win the full right to fund the war in front of the royal family, because his father paid three times more than them!

It's just that in recent years, he has heard that many Rothschild family members have been suppressed in the Blue Mountain Kingdom, and Pazzi has also dealt with the same 'Black Hand Brotherhood' as a madman.

The underground emperor of the former site of the Blue Mountain Kingdom is full of their minions and ears.

Although it is easy to destroy the Scorching Sun Royal Family, there is also a very big risk involved!

If you don't do it, you will be bitten by the royal family desperately.

If you can win over the people of those two families......

Pazzi was a little absent-minded at this time, and when the war reached a critical moment, the three of them suddenly withdrew their funds, and in the face of the wolf-like attack of the Northern Holy See, the Scorching Sun Royal Family was likely to be defeated all the way on the frontal battlefield!

The only thing that worries him is that even if he overthrows the Scorching Sun family and drives the tiger and wolf, you must know that the Northern Holy See is not a character to be messed with!

The experience of being captured by life six or seven years ago is still fresh in Pazzi's memory!

That young pope with golden eyes is almost a personal enemy that Pazzi considers himself to be in this life!

Just when his mind was full of cranky thoughts, the door of the palace was slowly pushed open at this time.

There was an unpleasant stench in the air of the large room, and Rudolf IV sat on his throne without saying a word.
