After seeing the Mass money figures, Leonard's only suspicions vanished, and if it were him, he would not be able to tolerate such a black bishop.

However, thinking that the money was for himself, Leonard was very satisfied with Kasmai's contribution. In the end, he replied with a magic message, warning Khasmai to keep a low profile in the future, and finally reassured him that if there was a vacancy in the bishop of a large city, he would give priority to Khasmai's transfer.

After receiving this reply, Kasmai immediately reported it to Duke, and at the same time received his 500 gold coins. Although Duke confidently said the three words of smashing with money early on, he still felt pain when the money was really smashed.

20,000 gold coins is also a lot of money for the current Storm Castle, and if it is used to buy supplies, it can guarantee a month's ration for 30,000 people. It turned out to be loaded on a cart and given to a cardinal who had never even met in person.

However, the money has already been spent, and Duke has admitted that he can spend money to eliminate the disaster, but this matter is not as simple as Duke imagined, because Ole does not intend to let Stormcastle go so easily.

Inside the Cathedral of Andorra, Archbishop Ole received a magical message from Cardinal Leonard, and his face was cloudy. The hierarchy of the Holy See is not as easy as the fiefdom system, but more like the real imperial system in China, where the pope has supreme power and the superiors have absolute control over the subordinates.

But Ole was not reconciled, as he had received very credible information that a witch had appeared in Stormcastle. He even suspected that the escape from prison in Andorra la Vella had something to do with these witches. Because according to the recollections of later Teutonic knights, it seems that they have seen women.

There are only a handful of nuns in Andorran cathedrals, and nuns need to be baptized for at least five years before they can apply, and then study in the convent for six years, each of which is absolutely devout and cannot be consecrated from heresy.

And female magicians, except for a few who belong to the royal family, there are basically few on the mainland. So the only one who can do this thing is a witch, plus it is rumored that Storm Castle has taken in witches on a large scale, and even the city lord has publicly issued a city lord order, Ole is almost ten percent sure that there is something wrong with Storm Castle.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the cardinal actually sent a magic message himself, asking him to cancel the investigation of Storm Castle. This made him completely incomprehensible, why the cardinal did this, and did he have something to do with the witches of Stormcastle?

But it's impossible to think about it, it's no exaggeration to say that being a cardinal is even higher than the status of an emperor, is it necessary to have anything to do with witches, is it because of Kasmai?

And the bishops of the diocese of the French Empire know that being transferred to Stormcastle as bishop is almost a matter of death, if Casmeel has this relationship, will he still go to Stormcastle as bishop?

Although Ole did not think that Kasmai had anything to do with the cardinal, he still thought that Kasmai had been very suspicious recently. Because even he had received a connection between Storm Castle and the witch, Carsmai never mentioned it in his report, which was the biggest suspicion.

If the lord of Stormcastle and the bishop are already involved with witches, this is definitely a terrifying thing. You must know that since the Holy See has dominated the continent, in the past thousand years, it has rarely been seen that the lord and the bishop have colluded with evil heresies.

Seriously, even if it is said that Kasmai colluded with Duke to rebel, Ole probably believed it, and he really didn't believe it much because it didn't have the slightest benefit, but it was a fire. Now that all speculations have been overturned, there is only one last option left, which is the Dark Witch Society behind the witches, taking control of the entire Stormcastle while all parties are abandoning Stormcastle.

This explains why the storm has suddenly become so strong, presumably because the entire Dark Witch Society has gathered. At the thought of this, Ole felt a vague excitement, if this was the case, then as long as he seized this opportunity and wiped out the old enemy of the church, the Dark Witch Society, he had a great chance of being promoted to cardinal.

Thinking that he is only eighty years old this year, as long as he struggles again, it is also a great opportunity to enter the Cardinal Pontifical Order, and even it is not impossible to become a pope.

The lust for power makes people choose to take risks, especially since Leonard will soon retire, and there will be a fierce competition for the position of cardinal of the French Empire. In addition to Andorra City, the other bishops of the big cities in the empire are all setting their sights on the position of this cardinal, so this time Ore is bound to win!

Thinking of this, Ole directly called Ryder, the head of the Andorran Teutonic Order, and discussed his thoughts with him.

The Andorran Teutonic Knights, one of the three major orders of the Holy See, were marked by the Black Cross, which was later the source of the German Iron Cross. As one of the three major knightly orders of the Holy See, the Teutonic Knights were stationed in the major cities of the empire, and together with the Holy See's Bright Army, they became the main force to clamp down on the secular imperial power of the continent.

Although Ole is the archbishop of Andorra la Vella and is considered the highest clergyman of the Andorran kingdom, he still has to consult with the head of the Ryder branch of the Teutonic Knights in terms of military deployment.

Of course, Ole could also force an archbishopric's decree ordering the Teutonic knights to fight against the Illuminati. However, once the order is forced, it will be investigated by the Holy See Holy City afterwards, and it will also cause a conflict similar to that between the "civil ministers" and the "military generals", so the bishops who have a little brains will make a decision after discussing military actions. After all, these knights are their own force dependent, and it is always right to have a good relationship.

In addition to the Teutonic Knight Ryder, Uther, the Paladin of the Light Army of Alpine City, was also recruited by Ore. Because although the Teutonic knights were strong in battle, the number of them was only two thousand, which was not very many. Because the main military forces of the Holy See of the French Empire were stationed in the imperial capital, there were 50,000 people to restrain the French royal family.

And in case of a battle, the cavalry is not very good at attacking the city, and the five thousand bright troops stationed in Gaoshan City are indispensable. Ole had already made up his mind this time that if he found out that Stormcastle was in any collusion with the Dark Witch Society, he would go straight to Stormcastle and locate Duke as a heretic.

As long as the evidence is conclusive, Leonard will not blame himself for disobeying orders, but will be a great achievement, so there is no turning back for Ole.
