Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Historical Secret Talk
The masked man is, of course, Roy
While the people of Medin City were still celebrating Gallas's death and speculating about the identity of the "Vengeful Demon", no one knew that the attacker had secretly returned to Medin City and found Joseph on the cusp of the storm at the first time.
"Little liar. ”
When he saw Roy unhurriedly take out two things and hand them over under Joseph's inquiry, the dwarf axe spirit couldn't help but mutter.
What Roy had done during the time that he had disappeared from the mercenary's sight was known only to the dwarven axe.
First, Roy took the county bishop to find a cave. used the means of coercion, temptation, coaxing, and coaxing, knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow. Not only did he extort the wealth accumulated by the county bishop over the years, but he also confided a lot of information and secrets about the Holy See. In the end, on the condition that the bishop of the county would not kill him, he was forced to sign a document of the monk and a deed of the status of the monk of the Holy See.
After getting these things, the little bastard left the cave in a hurry before a fifth-level demonic beast returned. He fulfilled his promise not to kill the bishop, and covered his ears when he heard the bishop's screams. The knight's honesty, fairness, and mercy are fully demonstrated.
Subsequently, the little bastard rushed back to Medin City.
Because the city gate is blocked, Roy has adopted another way to enter the city, and he joins the rabble!
The officer in charge of recruiting You Yong was very enthusiastic to complete all the formalities for him, and handed him over to a squad leader along with another group of You Yong.
Originally, after joining the rabble, you couldn't run around at will. But who can control him when he walks into the city? The moment the squad leader greeted people on the way, Roy had already blended into the crowd unconsciously, through the streets, and into the church.
To be honest, although I have been watching from the sidelines. But the dwarf axe spirit is straightforward by nature, and he doesn't know what this little fox has in mind. It wasn't until now, when Roy took out the secret monk credentials he had received from the county bishop and handed them to Joseph, that he vaguely understood.
Holding the deed and the parchment scroll, Joseph immediately believed Roy's identity.
However, when he opened his eyes wide and saw the county bishop's seal and signature on it, he couldn't help but look up and said in surprise: "You are the secret monk of the county bishop?"
Roy's eyes twitched. Knowing that he couldn't say too much about this kind of identity, he had to leave some leeway, so he said seriously: "You can say that." ”
"So to speak?" Joseph looked at Roy with a confused gaze, and wondered, could this mysterious monk have another identity?
Roy met Joseph's gaze, didn't speak, and raised his hand to release a halo on him.
As this holy light fell on him, Joseph only felt a sudden lift in his spirit, and his body was warm and indescribably comfortable.
"Spirits restored!" Shocked, he stood up suddenly, opened the door of the listening room, walked out, knelt down, and said, "It turns out that Lord Divine Sorcerer is here." Joseph didn't know the depths and offended the adults. ”
At this moment, no matter how suspicious Cerf was, it disappeared completely.
You know, magicians are only available to the Holy See. Because of the scarcity and preciousness of the quantity, the status has always been extremely respected. Even if others want to pretend, they can't pretend.
Coupled with the nameplate of the lone wolf mercenary before this secret monk and the documents and deeds signed by the county bishop, the identity of this secret monk in front of him is undoubted.
As for the relationship between him and the bishop of the county, it must have occurred to Joseph that the master magician had become an esoteric monk for some reason, and the bishop of the county had contacted him. That's why he used the phrase "so to speak" to describe his relationship with the bishop of the county.
In fact, not to mention a small county bishop, even if it is the bishop of the Western District, I am afraid that he has not done such a job as letting a magician do such a job as a secret monk.
Thinking of this, Joseph's heart was shocked. Secretly scolding the county bishop for hiding so deeply.
At the beginning, the old guy looked very concerned, and personally asked himself about finding a lone wolf. Who knows, he has long known the identity of a lone wolf. The reason why he asked himself must have been to get out of his own mouth and see how much he knew!
From this, it can be seen that there must be some extremely important secret between this secret monk and the county bishop. Otherwise, why be so careful.
"He who does not know is not guilty. Roy's voice was more majestic and majestic, and he said lightly: "Get up." ”
"Master Xie. Joseph wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up cautiously, and asked respectfully, "I wonder what I can do for you, my lordship?" and "I have heard about the abduction of the county bishop. Roy said coldly, "Do you know who is doing this?"
"Who?" said Joseph, so nervous that his voice changed.
Roy said word by word: "Bishop of the West End!"
The face of Joseph, Bishop of the West End, suddenly became extremely strange.
If it weren't for the other party's magician, the identity of the lone wolf and the secret monk was absolutely unquestionable, and I am afraid that he would have regarded the masked man in front of him as a lunatic with nervous problems.
Not to mention him, even the dwarf axe spirit who was listening to him was dumbfounded, and he didn't know why Roy suddenly pointed the finger at the Bishop of the Western District.
"I don't believe it, do you?" the little liar lowered his voice and said, "I'm here to tell you the truth of the matter!"
In the room, the light was dim.
Except for the masked man's muffled voice, Joseph could only hear his own heartbeat.
An earth-shattering conspiracy is unfolding ring by ring in front of him!
"You know, the Pope's body is weakening, and in the future, I'm afraid that I, the Pope of Solan, will be the Pope of the other two empires......" Roy's voice was calm and slow.
The liar business, Roy was very immersed in it back then.
Among the strange masters that William found for him, there were not ten but eight of the ancestors in the liar's line. Therefore, Roybi understood better than anyone that any deception must build the foundation on a solid foundation that cannot be doubted.
The Pope's physical condition and the fierce confrontation between the three popes of the Holy See in the foreseeable future are the foundation laid by Roy for this "earth-shattering conspiracy".
Hearing Roy talk about this, Joseph nodded repeatedly. These things, needless to say, Roy, who in the Holy See does not understand?
Once the pope dies, only the popes of the three empires are eligible to take over the pope. And His Royal Highness the Pope of the Solan Empire, because of the national conditions of the Solan Empire, is in the most disadvantaged position among the three popes. The likelihood of a scramble for the papal throne is almost zero.
Therefore, in this war of the Saint Soran Empire, the Holy See of Solan has been hesitating whether to intervene or not.
If they intervene, Vatican Castle and Holy See Hill, which have always been dissatisfied with the Solan royal family, will definitely be blamed. If he did not intervene, the Pope would have to sit back and wait for St. Soran to be annexed by the Philip Empire, and his diocese would become the diocese of the Philip Empire.
I'm afraid no one wants to see such a thing.
Not to mention that the Empire of Saint Solan was annexed to the Pope and the Donner
There is nothing good about virtue, and it is not good for everyone in the entire Solan teaching.
After all, although everyone has their own system in the Holy See, they are all Solan people.
No matter what, the Solan Empire is also the backyard of the Solan Holy See, and no one else can touch it. Not even for the rest of the Holy See!
Everyone has been speculating that the Pope and Donald will definitely wait for an appropriate opportunity to prevent the Saint Soran Empire from falling into the hands of the Philaean Empire, and prevent the Pope Philip from taking the opportunity to reach over and overthrow the Solan royal family. Completely bury this-for-tat family with the Holy See.
However, the timing doesn't seem like a good choice right now. Especially after Princess Eretia entered the Church of the Holy Maiden, it was even more slim.
Seeing that Joseph recognized this, Roy began to make things up.
"In order to compete for the papal throne, both Philip and the Pompeii Empire Pope have spared no effort to mix sand into my Holy See. Roy said: "After our secret investigation, the Bishop of the Western District is a member of the Pompeii Empire!"
Joseph gasped, his eyes straightened.
Roy waited for him to digest the news before he said earnestly, "I didn't expect that, right?"
"This," Joseph shook his head, and before he could speak, he heard Roy say, "Not only did you not think of it, but even the county bishop and I didn't think of it. ”
"The bishops of the western side have acted perversely over the years, and the Holy See of the western side of Lulian has completely rotted. Roy said: "He's not the only one doing this kind of thing." In the Holy See of the Saint-Soran Empire, there are quite a few people who are members of the Pompeii Empire or the Holy See of the Philip Empire. Of course, we have people there too. ”
Joseph broke out in a cold sweat. For him, such a thing was unheard of.
Although he had known that the struggle between the three major popes had reached the point of life and death, it was the first time he had heard of such a thing with a hidden blade around him.
However, in the tradition of internal struggles in the Holy See, this is not surprising. The struggle for power has always been bloody. There have been several internal purges within the Holy See in history, which one has fewer people dead?!
Seeing that Joseph didn't say anything to refute, Roy knew that he had passed this hurdle. Even if the status of the bishop of the West End is only his own words, as long as Joseph has no actual evidence to oppose it, he will accept it with peace of mind when it comes to his interests later. As early as after seeing Joseph's saddle mission in the Mission Hall, Roy had the idea of looking for an ally within the Holy See.
Like the pack of wolves he hunted when he was eight years old. For him at the time, those wolves were very powerful. In the spring of that year, however, he found that the most cunning of the wolves had grown old. And below, a few more small male wolves with sharp claws and teeth grew up.
Just like the Holy See now.
That year, he postponed killing the wolf, and finally reaped far greater rewards than he had done at the time. Now, he is more patient and in a better position - because he can be one of the papal wolves in his own right. Get involved in a more direct way.
So, he specifically inquired about Joseph and was about to look for an opportunity to contact him, but he didn't expect to run into such a good opportunity.
Thinking in his heart, Roy's mouth kept talking.
"Because of the high position of the bishop of the Western District, the county bishop knows that direct accusations will not bring him down, and even if he does, his accomplices hiding in the Holy See will immediately retaliate. So the county bishop decided to compete for the throne of the bishop of the Western District and take his place first. ”
Joseph's eyes widened. He'd never heard of it.
Roy observed Joseph's face and knew that it was time to shake off some fierce news, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Not long ago, Lord Bishop discovered Archbishop Loulian's hobby and prepared for me to make a saddle. Dedicated to the Archbishop. ”
As soon as the word saddle came out, Joseph's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
"I know you also did the saddle mission, but you didn't do it for you at the time, it was the county bishop's intention. After all," Roy said with regret that the blame had been placed on the head of the county bishop.
"I," Jolouf hurriedly tried to explain, and muttered a few words, but he couldn't speak. His face flushed.
Originally, he thought that the preferences of Archbishop Lulian, whom he had managed to find out, were a secret. Unexpectedly, the county bishop and the lone wolf had already planned to do so. No wonder the lone wolf doesn't take on his own tasks. Perhaps, when he and the county bishop talked privately
Cerf grumbled in his heart. I'm a bad guy.
"But who would have thought, I haven't started to make zuò here, and I don't know how to expose the matter over there. The Bishop of the West Side sent a sorcerer and Garas, who not only prepared to take away all the valuables here, but also poisoned the Bishop of the County. ”
"You mean," Joseph tensed, "the envoy and Garas are here to kill the bishop?"
"They? they're just here to be buried. Roy said lightly. Glancing at Joseph, "Have you ever seen someone who came to kill himself?"
Joseph was stunned, then smiled awkwardly.
"Although I didn't see the whole murder going on, the bishop of the West Side still left a flaw. Roy started making up stories again: "First of all, do you think it's normal for Garras to kill a few civilians himself?"
Joseph shook his head.
He also couldn't understand why he had to kill a few civilians as Gallas. Just let the people in the Inquisition fabricate charges and arrest people.
"Then you think that Gallas was found to have fled to the church, not to mention the murder himself. Is it normal?" Roy asked.
Joseph thought for a moment and shook his head again. His eyes gradually narrowed and he asked, "My lord, did you fly on purpose?"
"Clever! I can see the crux of the problem at a glance!" Roy exclaimed, and Joseph was in good spirits. The heart is full of joy.
Roy said: "If my guess is correct, Gallas's painstaking efforts are the instructions of the Bishop of the West End to stir up the anger of the people in Medin City. Thus fishing in troubled waters!"
Joseph nodded quickly this time.
You know, Roy's speculation is based on the speculation he just made. If he is proud of his own reasoning, how can he deny Roy's speculation?
Not only could it not be denied, but Joseph, who was encouraged, also used his brains and said: "In this way, the real reason for the attack on the convoy is covered up." Everyone only saw what happened in the city of Medding, and thought that someone was avenging those civilians, but they didn't expect that the real murderer had another purpose!"
"It is a great pleasure to speak to you, Priest. Roy exclaimed.
Joseph looked happy and said humbly: "Your Excellency, you have won the prize." ”
Roy said: "Obviously, when the convoy drove out of the city, the people of the Bishop of the West Side did it. The envoy and Garas were nothing more than a funeral for the county bishop. Gallas and the envoy would not have understood until they died that the mission that the Bishop of the West Side had asked them to carry out was digging a hole for themselves. ”
Joseph nodded, convinced. However, he then asked in confusion: "However, I heard that the murderer did not directly kill the county bishop at that time, but took him away. ”
"That's where they come in. Roy asked, "If you kill the county bishop first at that time, I am afraid that if someone with a heart investigates it, it will be exposed." So, the man took aim at Garas and kidnapped the county bishop. On the surface, it didn't seem to be killed, but I'm sure the county bishop ......."
Roy Dao: At the end of the day, Roy's voice was so sad that he couldn't go.
Joseph did not have a good opinion of the county bishop. But at this time, he also lowered his head with a sad face.
The two of them pretended to be sad for a long time, and Roy said, "If you were the murderer, would you let those mercenaries leave?"
Joseph shook his head decisively.
"That's right. It was precisely because the murderer wanted what happened to be witnessed that he did not kill people. Roy sighed, "The whole plan was executed almost flawlessly. Now it's just one last step away."
"The last step?" Joseph said confusedly, "who else are they going to deal with?"
"It's all dealt with but they need to ...... in the end", Roy looked at Joseph and said slowly, "Find a scapegoat!"
As soon as he heard this, Joseph only felt that his hair stood on end, and the blood on his face faded cleanly.
Who is this scapegoat, does it need to be said?
"What a killing three birds with one stone. Roy said leisurely: "After killing the county bishop, and vacating the positions of the county bishop and the priest of Medin City, he quietly arranged his own people." The entire Western Curia is completely under his control. In the future, I'm afraid no one will trouble him again!"
Joseph was trembling all over.
Not to mention that he was convinced of Roy's words at the moment, even if he was suspicious, it was obvious that he would be the scapegoat for this tragedy, which was enough to make him resentful of the Bishop of the West End. His future is already in shambles, and he thinks about a fart for the bishop of the West District!
"My lord," Joseph begged, with a sad face, "since you know the truth, can you?"
"What can I do?" Roy glanced at Joseph, "Do you think I can make a guess like this?"
"You can count, you can count!" Joseph gritted his teeth, "This is a conspiracy at all, my lord, the matter could not be clearer." The mastermind behind this is the Bishop of the West End!"
Royce was silent. And the dwarf axe spirit was already dumbfounded and speechless.
As soon as the little fox made up nonsense, Joseph jumped into it himself, and now he wanted to arrest the bishop of the West Side for the crime.
, the heart and eyes of this little bastard are really not comparable to ordinary people!
"You don't say it, only the archbishop really has the final say!" Roy was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "However, obviously, his old man will not listen to us." ”
"What then?" Joseph was in despair. He knelt down and said, "My lord, can you not save yourself from death, and let those villains who blaspheme the Holy Father succeed." ”
"Since I'm here for you, I just don't want him to succeed!" Roy gritted his teeth and said, "I will never forgive the guy who killed the county bishop!"
"It was a fifth-level demonic beast that killed the county bishop. The dwarven axe rolled his eyes.
"My lord, then," Joseph asked, hopefully, with a hint of hope.
"Can I trust you?" Roy looked into Joseph's eyes.
"Yes, of course!" Joseph swore without hesitation: "I ...... in the name of the Holy Father."
"That's enough!" Roy waved his hand and looked at Joseph coldly, "I don't need anyone to swear by a curse."
Since you want to cooperate, you should show greater sincerity. ”
"Sincerity?" Joseph was already desperate, and after half a circle back and forth, he suddenly remembered a brilliant idea, pushed the door out, and after a while, walked back quickly.
"What is this?" Roy looked at the parchment roll that Joseph handed him, confused.
"Demon Contract!" Joseph grimaced, gritted his teeth, and cut his fingers with a knife, dripping blood on the contract.
"This is a contract of allegiance to the devil of the cult, if I want to go out and sell you, as long as you take this thing to the Inquisition, nothing ......"
The room fell silent, and Roy stared at Joseph and put the deed book away. "Then, from today onwards, my partner is you." You will replace the county bishop, and together with me, we will purge these scum of the Holy Sect!"
"I" Joseph's face was bloody, and he was so excited that he said incoherently: "My lord, I must do my best!"
"Don't worry," Roy said, "I've got an idea. Since we're in the same boat, I'll help you through this. Not only do we have to pass the test, but we also have to fight for the position of county bishop!"
"County Bishop?" Joseph felt himself almost stunned by Zhang Fu who fell from the sky. My mind went blank. , cautiously asked, "Are you a starling......?"
"First of all, we need the support of the archbishop. Roy said: "After all, seriously speaking, this matter has little to do with you. The black cauldron can be carried by you or by someone else. If we can vote for the Archbishop, let him remember your affection......"
"Saddle!" Joseph's eyes lit up!
If he carefully made a "knight's pedestal" and gave it to Archbishop Lulian, not to mention that this matter had nothing to do with him, even if it did, it would not be a big deal for the archbishop!
"Saddle is just the first step. Roy said: "The indicators of the church in Medin City seem to be a little worse now. If I help you rush up, then communicate more with the adults and walk around. Give away something you can't buy outside. Do you think the Bishop of the West Side can still move you at will?"
Joseph put his hands together, knelt down sincerely, and fell to the ground.
In my ears, Roy's cold voice was heard.
"Of course, we can't let go of the scum. When the people who go by us, the people of Philet and the Pompeii Holy See, we will all eradicate them!"
Joseph's body shook, then he gritted his teeth and steadied himself.
"It's a bloody road, we have to fight all the way through!, you know?" Roy snapped.
Joseph exclaimed, "Understood!"
"For the sake of the Holy Cult of Solan!"
"For the sake of the Holy Cult of Solan!"
