The referee shook his head, "There is no evidence. ”

The Pope snorted coldly again, "They have been planning for a long time, how can they show any flaws!"

The chief referee nodded, "Apart from them, what other force can use such manpower and material resources to dig a secret passage from the city without knowing it, leading straight to the bottom of the black prison." ”

"There's another possibility, royalty. ”

"Whether it is the royal family or the nobles, the contradiction between our Holy Sect and the upper echelons of the kingdom has intensified, do you really want to stick to the plan of the earthly kingdom of heaven?", the chief judge said with a sigh, this may be his last persuasion.

"Do you think we have room to back down now?", the Pope asked rhetorically.

After a long time, when no more sound came, the Pope turned to find that the prayer room was empty, and there was no longer the presiding judge.

Pope Ge stood for a long time, and this saint, who was worshiped as a god by the believers, was also full of confusion at this time, "What did they save Levi Victor for?"

No one could give him an answer, only the idol behind him silently watched everything and knew everything. The world thought that he could receive the will of Heaven from the gods, but the funny thing is that if he really knew everything, he would not be at a loss or even frightened like he is now.

With the turbulent currents and reefs ahead, can he, as the captain of the ship, drive the great ship of the Holy Sect through all the difficulties and dangers and reach the final shore?

He didn't know, the pope turned his head, looked at the statue in front of him, rubbed the holy book in his hand, and sighed again, only feeling that since he became the pope, although he was in power and admired by thousands of people, it was not as comfortable and carefree as when he was a child, reciting the holy code for that boy.

At that time, I had a good friend who could talk to me and confide in him, but now? The Pope looked at this small but empty prayer room.

There was not even one to pray with, and the only one had just quietly left.

The Pope walked out of the prayer room, looked at the gloomy sky and the bleak wind and rain, and suddenly burst into his heart a sentence: "The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings."

There was a rare look of exhaustion on his ever-solemn face, but he never showed it in front of anyone, he still had to maintain a confident appearance, and he still had to continue to engage in the intrigues that he hated the most.

Because so many people's lives are on his shoulders, he doesn't dare to relax for a while.

Everyone thinks that he is one of the two people in the world who are most unrestrained and have their wishes come true, and as the Holy Religion, the Pope can do whatever he wants, but only he knows that he is the most unfree person in the world.

The so-called lonely man refers to him.

......

Alone in his wheelchair, Grievous the Great looked up at the starry sky. The light cast by the stars through the large crystals is not bright, but it has a dreamlike beauty.

There was no one in the empty hall except him, and even the guards and palace maids were driven out by him.

Under the cold moonlight and starlight, this hall became more and more cold and desolate, and even had a sense of horror.

However, Grievous the Great did not care, he had been accustomed to this loneliness and loneliness many years ago, rather that this loneliness and loneliness had been caused by him.

He doesn't need to be full of enthusiasm, nor does he need to be warm, it seems that after staying in such a "cold" environment for a long time, even his heart has become more "cold".

After looking at the starlight for a long time, a sudden announcement came from outside the main hall: "Prime Minister Cenarius has arrived!"

The emperor frowned slightly, but he knew that when the prime minister entered the palace at this time, something big must have happened, otherwise this old and serious minister would not disturb him at this time.

When the prime minister came to him, the emperor asked directly, "What happened?"

The Prime Minister replied: "According to the information from the west, the Duke of Edward is stockpiling a large amount of food, animal tendons and other war materials, and at the same time reorganizing the army and expanding the supply of troops. ”

"Powerful soldiers, the picture is not trivial. ”

"Oh?", this time the Emperor was also very surprised, "Does he want to start a war, to whom? is it to me?", there was already a hint of anger in his words.

"This ...... A few days ago, under the instructions of His Majesty, both the National Police Agency and the Ministry of the Interior took care of the Western Frontier Trading Firm, and presumably His Majesty's goodwill towards the Western Frontier had already been conveyed to Duke Edward, and he would not be so unwise. ”

"And the Westside Comptoir is still open as usual, with no sign of fleeing. If the Western Realm really has different intentions, presumably the Western Realm Trading House will definitely receive some rumors, and will not stay in Shenghui City and wait for death. ”

"It is also possible that this Western Frontier Trading House has become Edward's outcast, and he deliberately stayed in Shenghui City to confuse me. ", retorted Grievous the Great.

"The Ministry of War has deduced, if the West Frontier rashly raises troops, the odds of victory are extremely low, Duke Edward has always been calm, I think, it should not be so impulsive. ”

"Unless he gets a promise from one side to join forces, this old fox will not make a move. ", the Emperor agreed.

Cenarius nodded, "Either he has reached an agreement with the Eastern Realm and the Northern Realm, or it is the ...... of the Holy Sect", he didn't say the second half of the sentence, after all, the contradiction between the Holy Sect and the royal family has not yet surfaced, and everyone on the official face is still harmonious.

"The North will not be involved. ", the emperor said directly.

Cenarius didn't ask the Emperor how he confirmed, since the Emperor Jinkou Yuyan, then he must be ten percent sure.

"In that case, the Duke of Edward is even less likely to rebel. ”

Then Cenarius put forward another hypothesis, "Perhaps, for his son?"

"Chen Bing was on the border between the west and the north, and he forced Reinhardt to give him an explanation, which was not like what Edward would do. ”

Under the starlight, the Emperor consulted with the prime minister for a long time, and specified several countermeasures, such as letting the Western Frontier Legions stationed on the border strengthen their vigilance, strengthen the monitoring of the Western Frontier Trading Houses, and so on.

Just as Prime Minister Cenarius was about to take his leave, the Emperor suddenly said to him: "Sophia's wedding is about to take place, and you will organize the wedding." ”

Cenarius was stunned for a moment, "So anxious?", he looked back at the Great Emperor, and thought: "The second prince and the third prince will not return to this deep palace again, and now even Princess Sophia will leave here and go to the north." Who will accompany this majesty in the days to come?"

"The so-called lonely man refers to him. ”
