Chapter 420: The best of both worlds
The nobles present listened very carefully, and the secrets of the inquisition revealed by the three princes today had never been heard of, and they were obviously secrets in the palace. After today, there will probably be no second chance.
"But such an impossible thing has become a reality!", the third prince raised his voice slightly, obviously speaking of this, his mood was not calm.
"The shock within the Holy Sect can be imagined, and they will definitely investigate this matter to the end. ”
No matter how much you try to track it down, one thing that can't be avoided is: how did the people who planned the escape confirm the location of the black prison? They didn't even dig other tunnels, but a tunnel to the end, which can obviously be accurately located. ”
"This ...... Could it be that there is some conspiracy inside the Inquisition, which leaked the location of the black cell?"
"yes, that's the only way to think about it. ", the nobles discussed.
The Third Prince shook his head, "As I said earlier, every prisoner who is imprisoned in the Black Prison is personally escorted by the Chief Judge, do you think that the Chief Judge will betray the Holy Sect?", he asked rhetorically.
The nobles shook their heads again and again, remembering the legendary old man who was extremely old-fashioned and serious, and no one would think that he would betray the Holy Religion. Besides, even if he betrayed the Holy Religion, what benefits would he get? His position in the Holy Religion was lower than 10,000 people, and he was only under the Pope, so what high position could he rise to if he betrayed the Holy Religion?
The king of the kingdom of St. Teresa?
"No matter how the organizer behind this organization's prison escape finds out the location of the black prison, one thing is certain, he has great powers, at least stronger than the third prince of my kingdom, because even I can't confirm the location of the black prison. ”
When the nobles present heard this, their hearts sank. Prince Loris is the third prince of the kingdom, and with the support of their noble alliance, he is definitely one of the top figures in the kingdom of Saint Teresa in the eyes of these nobles, but even he is not as good as the organizer behind the scenes.
The strength of the organizers behind this can be imagined.
"Also, as I said before, if you want to dig out such a long and deep secret passage, the human, material, and financial resources used are not trivial, and this is a very obvious clue. ”
"All kinds of factors are taken into account, and there are only three forces that can do this kind of thing in this Holy Radiance City. As he spoke, the third prince stretched out three fingers.
"The first party is the royal family, that is, my father, the king, who orchestrated this escape. ”
The nobles nodded one after another, there is no doubt that this is also the strongest force in the Holy Radiance City now, and the first person the Holy Sect suspects is Emperor Grievous.
"The second party, that is, you, the nobles in this Holy Radiance City, the power you have combined cannot be underestimated, even if it is the royal family and the Holy Sect. ”
The nobles immediately became in an uproar, and someone hurriedly said, "But I didn't participate in this matter!", and he hurriedly shouted again: "Who is it! Who planned this escape." ”
The nobles looked at each other, defensive, and suspicious in their eyes, but none of them stood up to admit it. Of course, with their cautious character, even if they really participated, how could they admit it in public, and they weren't afraid that after the assembly was disbanded, there would be opponents who would go to the Holy Sect to denounce it?
"It is possible that several other great nobles planned this matter. Duke Luke said from the side, he was the most talkative person at this moment.
"I don't think so. The third prince shook his head, "Thousands of hardships, huge resources have been consumed, and even the hard-won ones have to be sacrificed, the internal response of an inquisition, just to rescue a mage." No matter how powerful and wise this mage is, I don't think it's worth it. ”
"These nobles won't pay such a price, they won't do such a loss-making business. ”
"You're right, and I don't think they have the strength, or the methods, to know the exact location of the Black Cell. Duke Luke continued the words of the third prince.
"But if we think like this, the Holy Sect will not think like this, in their hearts, it is impossible for us, the nobles who have always been against them, to do such a thing. ", the third prince continued.
However, even if he was as intelligent as him, he would never have imagined that the Pope and the presiding judge would make a judgment based on the eyes of the prisoner's confession.
"The third party, the one most likely to commit this in terms of motive, is the mage. However, mages are the most unlikely, and now all the mages in Shenghui City are under the control of the Holy Sect. How could there be a mage who escaped the supervision of the Holy Sect and did such a great thing?"
"Could it be some nameless mage, or some mage force hiding in the shadows and planning all this. ”
"It's less likely. First of all, how did the mages figure out the location of the black prison from inside the inquisition? You must know that the Inquisition and the mage have been hostile to each other for a long time, but they are both extremely wary of each other. ”
According to an investigation by the National Police Agency, the location of the excavation of the underground tunnel in the city is located in a residential building. After investigation, the residential building and the two adjacent houses were bought by an unknown person at an extremely good price within a month. ”
"In other words, the construction of such a difficult dark passage was actually completed in a month, I don't think there are any hidden forces in Shenghui City that can do it. Moreover, the National Police Agency has been investigating with great fanfare for such a long time, and the Inquisition has mobilized a large number of people from the Holy Sect to conduct a secret investigation, but it has not even found a single clue. ”
"So in the eyes of the Holy Sect, the Emperor and our nobles are the most suspicious and most likely to plan this escape?", Duke Luke concluded.
"That's right, and you don't forget, whether it's the National Police Agency or the Holy Sect, they have invested so many elite soldiers to investigate, but there is no progress at all. The masterminds behind this are able to erase all traces and clues. Leaving no flaws behind is not something that ordinary forces can do. ", replied the third prince.
"And the Holy Sect's reaction to this is this action against our nobles?"
"That's right, as the saying goes, persimmons should be pinched softly. The Holy Sect has no evidence now, and it is impossible to sit idly by and ignore this matter, who knows what kind of trouble will be caused by that mage being rescued. ”
"So the best and strongest measure they can take at this time: it's to strike first!"
"Directly select the weakest aristocratic force among the two suspects. If it was really the aristocratic forces who planned all this, then this blow was unmistakable. Even if it was not planned by the aristocratic forces, now that our aristocratic side is in a weak position, we will not be able to do anything effective to counterattack, and we will not be able to cause any serious consequences. ”
"It's safe, it's effective, and it's a great way to get the best of both worlds. ”
