Chapter 8: Questioning

Qin Shaofu had a dream, dreaming that he was swimming on the sea, riding a big fish, churning in the waves, free and comfortable. Until a huge shark appeared in front of him, opened its mouth, and swallowed him one bite after another.

"Ahh

With an exclamation, he sat up straight, and immediately there was another scream.

At this time, he was lying on a wooden bed, and although he had been treated with bandages all over his body, the broken sternum had not healed. The sudden movement touched the wound and made him miserable.

After relieving himself for a while, he heard a squeak, and a young man pushed open the door and poked his head out, and when he saw that he was awake, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Wake up, wake up, that person is awake." ”

Then there was a thump and a thump, and it was time to inform someone.

But in a moment, as a sound of footsteps approached, an old man pushed the door and entered. This man was wearing a large red robe, his face was thin, but his eyes were extremely attentive and very special. His pupils are yellow, and the proportions in his eyes are much larger than the average person. At first glance, the whites of the eyes are barely visible.

Qin Shaofu's face immediately turned grim, and he stood up in pain, and saluted in a trembling voice: "I've seen Lord Bishop!"

The Holy See is generally divided into two factions, one for the knights and the other for the monks. Because of religion, the monks are said to be closer to the god of light, so they have a higher status than knights of the same rank.

The only one who can wear this kind of red robe is the cardinal archbishop of the Holy See, who is second only to the Pope in terms of rank and equal to the knight of the highest rank. For Qin Shaofu, it is simply a legendary existence, and he naturally feels flattered.

"No need to be polite!"

The cardinal archbishop said, "I am First Bishop Andrew, and your injuries are not light, but they are not fundamentally injured. After I helped you expel the remnants of Assad, I did only what I had to do. After all, it is better to recover naturally than to force healing. “

There are four patriarchs under the pope, but they have a special position, administering the sub-papacies of other principalities, and the rank is actually cardinal. There are twelve cardinal archbishops in the Episcopal See, in order of age and seniority.

Andrew is the first bishop, meaning he is the oldest and oldest of the cardinal archbishops.

"I understand!" Qin Shaofu nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Lord Bishop." “

I was also impressed in my heart, Jiang Yan was not only powerful, but also sophisticated, and actually imitated Assad's power to injure himself, which was more convincing.

"It's because we should thank you!"

Andrew nodded slightly: "The Magnolia Holy Maiden is no longer in trouble, I heard her say what happened at that time." You are a brave warrior with extraordinary courage and courage to stand up in such situations...... But there is still something to ask you, how did Assad die?"

There is an indescribable fierceness in the seemingly kind gaze.

Qin Shaofu knew what he meant, and hurriedly said, "I killed it." “

then explained: "I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect a passing Oriental warrior to make a move." That man is extremely powerful, and it is difficult to distinguish between him and Assad. Later, when the two of them were at a standoff, I took the opportunity to cut off Assad's head with a knife. “

"The two of them were so strong that I was hurt like this when I was affected by the force. “

"Oriental Warrior?" Andrew hurriedly asked, "Do you know his name?"

Qin Shaofu touched his head, frowned and thought deeply: "He said it, but because he was also seriously injured and walked in a hurry, I didn't hear it clearly...... It seems to be called ...... Jiang Yan. “

Deliberately imitate the accent of Westerners speaking Eastern languages, and say it vaguely.

"Jiang Yan!"

Andrew frowned, obviously he had never heard of this name, and after thinking for a moment without an answer, he asked instead: "How is your health? Because of the attack on the Magnolia Holy Maiden, His Majesty the Pope recalled some cardinal archbishops to discuss the matter. You are the party and would like to invite you to attend...... By the way, I would also like to express the Holy See's gratitude to you. “

"It's okay!" Qin Shaofu hurriedly said, "It's just that the sternum hurts a little, it doesn't matter." “

The reward of the Holy See was when the request to become a knight was made, and he couldn't wait.

"Get dressed and come with me!"

Andrew nodded, and when Qin Shaofu was dressed, he walked outside with him.

After passing through several corridors and entering a large gate, you will find a large stone hall. Many people had already been made in the stone hall, mostly warriors in armor, but also some bishops and priests dressed in black.

In the center of the stone hall is a high platform, on which there is a golden throne that should belong to the Pope, and there are four seats next to it, which must also be important figures of the Holy See.

There is a relatively gorgeous position near the central stone platform, on which sit six cardinal archbishops in red robes, five of them are goosebumps and crane hair, drooping old men, but the kind of strong aura that is invisibly exuded is breathless.

There is also a middle-aged man, who is much younger in comparison, but his eyebrows are like knives, his eyes are like swords, and he looks sharp.

Seeing Andrew come in, this person happened to say hello, but as soon as he saw Qin Shaofu following him, he immediately asked puzzled: "Lord Andrew, why did you let this Oriental come in?"

In the eyes of the Germans and Saxons, the Chinese and the Chinese mestizo descendants were all Orientals, not to mention the old stubbornness of these papacy.

Andrew said as he walked, "He was the one who sent the Holy Maiden back, and part of today's meeting was related to the attack on the Holy Maiden, so I am going to bring him over." “

The middle-aged cardinal archbishop immediately emphasized: "But he is an Oriental! Unless he is to receive an envoy from China, no Oriental can come here." “

Andrew stopped, staring at him with a pair of brass eyes: "If you don't bring him, where are you going to find out, or are you going to have another meeting when this is over?"

"If it weren't for him saving the Holy Maiden, the final consequence would be a holy war, a holy war without suspense. We old bones are all going to go to the battlefield, and these people behind you, and even the people of the gods of the world, I don't know how many of them will live until the end of the war...... Is that what you want to see?"

The middle-aged cardinal immediately exclaimed: "We are not afraid of sacrifice for God, nor are we afraid of holy war. “

"Archbishop Ronkali!" Andrew exclaimed, "the God of Light is merciful and kind, and the light shines brightly, teaching us to create a world of peace, not hell. God teaches us to be grateful when we take a bite of food, and that it should not be your attitude towards the savior of the saint. “

"Savior?" Cardinal Roncali shook his head, "I don't think so. Despite the fact that Assad is a demon destined for hell, we cannot fail to recognize his strength. Even if we, the Holy See, apart from His Holiness the Pope and Hadros, can win against him, no one dares to say that they can defeat him, let alone kill him......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone say, "It's really thanks to Bishop Roncali!"

As soon as the words fell, a man in a black robe walked in. This man was dressed very specially, and the style of his robe was exactly the same as that of the cardinal archbishop, except that his robe was black on the outside and red on the inside.

Although he was smiling at this time, even Ru Qin Shaofu could feel it, as if a cold current poured in with him from the door, instantly spreading to the entire stone hall, making people can't help but tighten their clothes.

"Bishop Hadros, why is he here!"

"It seems that today's events are really not small!"

For a while, many people began to whisper, as if they felt incredible because they saw this person.

Qin Shaofu didn't know the identity of this person, so he could only watch him walk past him, and then directly walked to the four positions on the high platform and sat down, then closed his eyes, as if he was not interested in getting involved in anything.

After Roncali glanced at him, he continued: "How could a person like him kill Assad who even we can't defeat. “

"I didn't kill it alone!" Qin Shaofu couldn't help but want to explain: "It was when he was fighting hard with others, I took the opportunity to sneak attack from behind and cut off his head with a knife......

"That's it!" Roncali immediately interrupted him, "It's just someone else who defeated him, you just picked up the bargain at the end." What is the difference between your behavior and picking up Assad's head on the road?"

"If you want to talk about the savior of the Holy Maiden, it should be the one who really did it with Assad, not you at all. And you're still a sneak attack, and you don't even have basic knightly honors...... Sorry, I forgot, you're not a knight at all, why did you walk in here?"

The other party spoke quickly and urgently, aggressively, which made Qin Shaofu's heart move, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "I never said that Assad was killed by me, and I ...... at that time."

"That's it!" Long Kali rushed to say directly: "Since you didn't kill Assad, then you are not qualified to stand here as the savior of the Holy Maiden...... You should go outside and wait. ”

"I ......"

Qin Shaofu had never seen such a scene, not to mention that the other party was still a cardinal archbishop, and he was so angry for a while that he didn't know what to say.

Andrew on the side said: "Even if it's not a life-saver, it's an insider." ”

Long Kali shook his head: "If it is only an insider, then it is better to wait outside, and when it is necessary to discuss this matter, His Majesty the Pope has announced him, so that he can wait in that position, instead of taking this path." “

"Magnolia Holy Maiden...... Orientals are the trouble!"

As he spoke, he pointed in the other direction, and there was a large gate, and on one side of the doorway there was a row of black iron seats, and a railing, which looked like the place where the prisoner was interrogated.

Qin Shaofu clenched his fists, and blood was about to overflow. He was prepared to be embarrassed, but he didn't expect it to be such an insult.

"The Pope's crown has arrived!"

At this moment, there was a sudden shout at the door, and everyone immediately stood up.

Immediately, I saw an old man wearing a golden crown, a white robe, and a golden shawl walking in.
