After Duke Luke left, Duke Mortier remained motionless on the sofa. The dim light dragged his shadow far away, like a thin line, merging with the darkness on the wall.

The door was open, and there was no sound in the black room, which made people feel daunted when they saw it. The servants who walked by were all cautious, lest they make any noise and anger the Duke in the room.

You must know that breaking two wine glasses in a row has never happened before, and you can imagine how angry the Duke of Mortier is now.

However, contrary to the servants' guesses, the Duke of Mortier, who had been gloomy when he talked to Duke Luke before, was now full of calmness, and his face did not show any anger on his face, as if he had suddenly changed his face.

"In the end, I was still abandoned, and sure enough, in the eyes of the third prince, my value alone is not as good as those nobles, hum. He muttered to himself, then stretched, "Two faces? That old guy really underestimates me." ”

The duke, who felt a little sore in his lower back, shook the bell and summoned the personal maid, "Get ready, arrange a masseur later." ”

"Yes, sir. Then the maid asked, "Do you want to prepare the reception room as before?" ”

"Reception room? No, no. "From now on, there will be no guests." Sir, I've finally been able to get a good rest. ”

"It's just that I can get a good night's sleep, and some people are afraid that they won't be able to sleep well. ”

......

The same scene that took place in the Duke's room has been repeating itself since the construction of the City of Radiance. Just like a grand theater, from time to time the protagonist ascends to the center of the stage, and "babbling" has become the focus of the audience.

Some of them sang brilliantly, and they received applause and rewards from the people all the time. As soon as some people raised their voices on stage, they were knocked off the stage by rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes. Some people are like meteors, they were held as "famous actors" at first, but they accidentally sang badly, and in the end they could only end up with a gloomy result.

This theater is very large, but it is the most ruthless, and the audience is also happy and disgusted with the old, their eyes are always fixed on the center of the stage, the protagonist illuminated by the lights, as for the protagonist who is not on the stage, "Who is that?", no matter how popular and popular it was before, they will not even look at it.

The silence of the Duke of Mortier, therefore, did not cause much repercussions, whether in the salon or at the ball, and the gentlemen and ladies tacitly did not mention the name. The name "Mortier" seems to have been erased from people's memory.

And the nobles who were closely connected with him before were smiling and counting the compensation that Duke Mortier had sent to the palace. Although they suffered a little loss, but they received this compensation, it will not hurt their muscles and bones, the only thing they are a little worried about now is the revenge of the Holy Sect, after all, the matter is so big, even if the Holy Sect reacts slowly, they will always find out a little clue.

But as long as these nobles are hiding in the Hawley district, the Holy Sect can't help them at all.

After all, it was the aristocracy that now controlled the country, not the Holy Religion.

It's just that these nobles never thought that the Holy Sect's counterattack would come so quickly and so fiercely.

......

As truckloads of food were brought into the sanctuary, disaster relief materials such as cotton clothes, charcoal fires, medicines, and so on were brought in. The number of refugee deaths has decreased dramatically, and at first, some of them were terminally ill and unable to hold on, and finally closed their eyes, but after half a month, the sanctuary finally one day, death no longer came. When the news was announced, the whole sanctuary was in a state of boiling, with people laughing and singing and dancing, and despite the humble conditions, they still celebrated like a new year.

No more dead people, such an ordinary and ordinary longing, for these refugees now, is already a rare luxury.

In this rare disaster, the Holy Religion saved hundreds of thousands of refugees as a mainstay and savior, and the influence of the Holy Religion is expanding day by day among the refugees. Many refugees are no longer confined to "shallow" believers who pray verbally and sit and worship in their free time, but have become devout believers who worship the Holy Religion in their free time. In addition, many refugees joined the association organized by the church, vowed to give everything to God the Father, and became "fanatical believers".

It can be said that with the help of this disaster, the Holy Sect has turned the crisis into safety, and its strength has increased greatly. However, whether it is the Patriarch of Lisbon who formulated the whole plan, or His Majesty the Pope, who controls the overall situation, they are not satisfied with the expansion of the Holy Religion itself, and they want to severely damage the power of the nobility in turn!

On the same day, the Pope and the Patriarch of Lisbon continued to bless and baptize the refugees, as is customary. A pair of Cathar soldiers escorted a man with a blue nose and swollen face to them, and the captain at the head saluted: "Your Majesty, you asked us to find out Tucker's crimes, and after many days of pursuit, we finally caught General Tucker's personal butler." He had been with Tucker for more than a decade and was well aware of Tucker's crimes. ”

After speaking, he pushed the man and asked in a fierce voice: "Confess leniently, resist strictly, let's say, why did Tucker forge the Privy Council's edict this time and harm the people?"

After all, he is a soldier, and his voice is like thunder, and he has recruited all the refugees around him. These refugees now have nothing to do, and their favorite thing to do in addition to eating and drinking is to watch the excitement. In addition, the interrogation on the spot was about why Tucker killed the people in the first place, and many refugees at that time remember the tragedy vividly, and they are also very curious about it.

Why would a commander of the Holy Cult Apologetic Army do this?

I only heard the man reply expectantly: "Back to my lord, about this matter General Tucker, oh no, Tucker that sinner is very secretive, and I only know a rough idea." ”

"Probably, tell me everything you know. ", the Pope whispered from the side. His voice was not loud, but there was an irresistible majesty.

"Yes, yes, I said that I would not dare to hide anything in front of Your Majesty. The man swallowed and tried to recall, "About two months ago, a group of people found Tucker. Seeing their sneaky deeds, I also fell in love, for fear of some kind of villain. ”
