"A thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill. The Patriarch of Lisbon said solemnly: "This matter must not be underestimated. ”

Seeing that the Patriarch of Lisbon was so solemn, the other bishop couldn't help but pay attention to it, and another bishop asked in a condensed voice: "What is wrong with this?"

"There are many mysteries in this matter, so let me explain them one by one. As he spoke, several attendants behind the Patriarch of Lisbon stepped forward and distributed several documents that had been prepared to the bishops.

"The biggest suspicion is that there was a fire a few nights ago, and now it is the middle of winter, with cold winds and heavy snow, how can it be so easy to cause a fire. And this fire is out of control, burning a dozen vast estates to the ground?"

"I have ordered someone to investigate, and there was no such weather phenomenon as a fire or lightning and thunder that could easily cause a fire on that day, so it is really impossible to explain the fact that so many manors were on fire at the same time. ”

"I also have doubts in my heart about this, and it is true that what I said cannot be explained by coincidence. When I first heard the news, my first reaction was the selfish revenge of the enemies of these dozen nobles. After all, these nobles were all large landowners in Shenghui City, and unlike other nobles, they invested in trading houses or operated mines, and their sources of wealth often depended on the purchase and sale of grain. The grain stored for many years was burned to nothing overnight, but their strength was greatly damaged, at least in the next year, they had to be people with their tails between their legs. ”

It was the old man who opened his mouth, and his analysis was very logical, which also caused the other bishops to nod their heads, apparently they were thinking the same way.

The Patriarch of Lisbon also nodded, "According to common sense, this is indeed the most likely reason. But what if it is related to the looting of the Holy Sect caravan half a month ago?"

The other bishops all had surprised expressions on their faces, obviously they didn't connect the two things that had been separated by a while, "Is there any new information appearing?", one of the bishops reacted quickly and immediately asked.

"Definitely. The Bishop of Lisbon picked up a document on the table, "In the case of revealing his identity, the caravan of the Holy Church was still looted, and the gangsters were extremely vicious, and none of these caravans survived from top to bottom. This is a blatant provocation to the Holy Religion, no, it can be said to be a challenge, and it is natural to stick it into the end until the truth is revealed. ”

Moreover, these murderers knew the caravan's established routes so well that almost all of them were murdered at the same time and in different places. I think you all know it in your hearts, and this shows that there is a traitor within our Holy Sect who has provided such confidential information to the enemy!"

"However, after a period of investigation, despite the mobilization of a large number of cultists in the area where the crime was committed, we also sent all the elite cathars over. But those murderers seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world, and there was no news of them, and they could not be traced at all. ”

"And behind this incident, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes planning and organizing actions, otherwise the attacks of these murderers would not be so clean and almost perfect, and they would not be able to sweep away all the clues afterwards, making it difficult for the Holy Sect to trace. ”

Several other bishops have no objection to this, this matter is indeed too bad, the Holy Church must show its muscles and track it down to the end, not to mention anything else, the traitor must be found out.

Therefore, although the investigation has not been relaxed, there is very little valuable information, let alone who is behind it, and there is no way to find out at all. ", continued the Patriarch of Lisbon.

"But Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and with the blessing of the gods, we still catch a little tail. In a small city called Althea City on the border between the South and the Kingdom, a blacksmith confessed to the priest that the lord of Hibiscus City had secretly ordered his family's servant blacksmith to build a batch of ordnance, the reason for which was to provide it to the Kingdom troops stationed in the South to deal with the rebellions that often arose in the South. ”

But when the priest heard this, he immediately saw that it was unreasonable: if it was for the purpose of providing a large army, why did he not order the craftsmen of the whole city to hurry up the production, but ordered the craftsmen of his own clan to make it? ”

"After I received this report, I mobilized the intelligence agencies of the Southern Frontier to conduct an investigation of the Southern Legion, and the result was that the Southern Legion had not replenished its ordnance at all last month. ", concluded the Patriarch of Lisbon.

"But in the east, on the border between the south and the kingdom, there were many nobles who secretly made ordnance, and used the reason that they were supplied to the troops. ", added a bishop as he flipped through the report on his desk.

"That's right, it's all written in the detailed content report. And I suspect that the gangsters who attacked the caravan were not ordinary goose thieves and robbers, these caravans had special escorts, experienced and strong, how could they be so easily washed by the bandits?"

"Combined with the faint involvement of many nobles in the murder, I suspect that the caravan of the Holy Sect was attacked by the private soldiers raised by these nobles, after all, they are only civilian forces, and they cannot resist such an elite army. ", said the Patriarch of Lisbon with anger.

With a "snap", a bishop slapped the table fiercely, "It's too much deception, these nobles are depraved and despicable, and they have no gods! It's really a heinous crime, and they should be arrested by the Inquisition and locked up in a black prison for the rest of their lives!"

The other bishop sneered, "These corrupt and degenerate nobles, what ugly and evil things do they dare not do?", but then he said with a suspicious face: "It's just that why do these nobles do this? What good is it for them to attack the Holy Sect?"

"I've been in contact with some of the great nobles, and I know their temperament all too well. They are just pathetic parasites that inhabit the kingdom. Drunk on life and dreams, indulging in pleasure, having neither ideals nor beliefs, and only wanting to keep his glory and wealth wholeheartedly. ”

"There are very few people who still hold the so-called aristocratic glory, and it is not an exaggeration to call them cowards, what they are most afraid of is the collapse of the power of the family and the weakening of their power, so they will oppress the poor, but they will never offend the forces stronger than themselves. ”

"Keeping one's self safe is their motto, so I can't believe that these nobles are involved in a conspiracy against the Holy Church. ”
