Chapter 64: Betrayal
The four bishops surrounded Archbishop Crow with a hint of flattery on their expressions, and whatever Archbishop Crow said, the bishops nodded vigorously together, and from time to time let out bursts of admiration. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Archbishop Crow also seemed to be pleased with the performance of these bishops, and from time to time he reached out to pat the bishop on the shoulder, and every bishop he patted showed a grateful expression.
On the other side of Archbishop Crow, there was a group of knights in armor standing together casually, these knights looked burly, dignified, and the armor on their bodies was extraordinary, much better than the one next to Colin, but Colin felt that something was not quite right, because none of these knights were wearing helmets, but they were holding helmets in their arms in a chic manner, and none of these knights were carrying weapons, whether they were on their backs or on their waists, Colin suddenly felt strange, remembering what happened to him and Roger being searched just now, and how did this one next to him come in with weapons?
Just when Colin was puzzled, from the front of the church, a small hidden door opened, and two people walked out, in front of him was an old man, wearing a red religious robe, and it was a cardinal archbishop. As soon as the old man appeared, the whole church suddenly fell silent.
Behind the old man was a short man, who was wearing an extremely ordinary black robe, with a silver mask on his face, looking mysterious, and he was extremely short and inconspicuous, and the whole person seemed to be hiding behind the old man.
Colin was keenly aware that at the moment when the black-robed man appeared, the breathing of the high-level in front of him suddenly became strange, William and Crow seemed to stand up straight deliberately, and several bishops behind them also became nervous and serious, staring ahead without squinting. Could it be that this black-robed man is what's weird?
The old man naturally walked to the front of the stage and said to everyone with a smile on his face: "I am now a cardinal of the Tantric Monastery, and I used to be the patriarch of Fran, Sade!
All the congregants saluted the archbishop in unison, including William and Crow. Colin had heard of the Archbishop of Sade, who had a transcendent position in the Tantric Monastery and had always been Cardinal Lister's right-hand man. Not only that, but many of the followers in the audience were his subordinates before, could it be that this person came today to seize power?
Colin looked curiously at William and then at Crow, and saw that the two cardinals had calm faces, as if they were unsuspecting of Thad .
Sade stood in front of the stage, smiled and said to the crowd: "I have come to see you today on behalf of Your Majesty! At the same time, Your Majesty is satisfied with the situation in the whole of France!"
Sade smiled and nodded, then took out a portrait from the ring in his hand, and said to everyone: "Mobilize all the people immediately, you must find this person as soon as possible, and report to the top immediately after you find it! Colin was stunned for a moment, thinking: Is this the end?
He quickly looked at William, only to find that William was alone and followed the two to the back. On the other side, Crow looked at William's departing figure with a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction in his eyes. But he still smiled and kept taking out the portraits from the rings, hand-sharing one for each person, and carefully telling him to find the person in the portrait as soon as possible, and even Colin got one meaningfully.
Colin took the portrait and saluted Crow, who smiled and patted Colin on the shoulder, and Colin immediately felt a lot of envious eyes shoot at him. After Crowe walked away, Colin carefully opened the portrait, a full-length portrait of a middle-aged man, the man's appearance looked a little weak, wearing an extremely gorgeous costume, and he looked a little more generous.
Colin was carefully observing the portrait, Roger next to him pulled him, Colin looked up, and found that the entire hall was almost gone, Colin asked curiously, "Who is this painting?"
Roger shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen it either!" Colin laughed, "I didn't expect it to be over so soon!" Roger laughed a few times and said meaningfully, "It's over?
There were many priests standing at the door of the church, talking to each other. Roger led Colin outside, and soon, Bill and a man in black robes drove in a carriage, Roger and Colin got into the carriage, and the carriage drove away from the manor at a rapid pace.
When the carriage entered the third gate of Bol, it came to a slow stop, and the black-robed man jumped out of the carriage, and without greeting the two people in the carriage, he quickly disappeared along a road, but Bill poked his head in through the window and asked a little blankly, "My lord, where are we going now?"
Colin glanced at Roger and smiled, "Back to the cathedral!"
When the carriage drove again, Colin asked Roger, "What do you think of today's events?" Roger snorted coldly: "This Archbishop of Sade has been away from Fran for almost twenty years, and he suddenly appeared today, it must be for something else, and it is just a pretense to find someone!"
Seeing Colin's puzzlement, Roger explained: "The Tantric Academy is the most powerful intelligence agency in the entire continent, how can it be possible for us people to find someone for them? It must be for something else!" Colin was silent, and Roger smiled: "Forget it, let's let our archbishop figure these things out!"
Finally, Roger sighed meaningfully, "Pol is going to be messy!" and Colin heard this, but there was a gleam in his eyes.
William walked alone to the back of the church, Sade and the black-robed man in the mask looked at William quietly, William walked up to the mask-man, bowed respectfully and said, "Cardinal Archbishop Lister!"
The masked man nodded slightly, and Sade smiled: "It's still your eyes poisoned!" The identity of the masked man turned out to be Rist, one of the five cardinals of the Illuminati Cult, and Rist said with a silver mask: "William, I need to find this person quickly!"
William heard the anxiety in Lister's words, and at the same time he was surprised in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "My lord, what happened?"
Rist sighed, and Sade said with a solemn face: "The dark spots of the Privy Council in Pol have all been exposed, and the Tantric Academy has suffered heavy losses!"
"What?" William looked at Sade in disbelief, and then asked, "How is it possible? When did it happen!" Sade squinted his eyes and replied, "Last month!"
William pondered for a moment, saluted to Rist, and said, "My lord, please forgive me..."
"No!" the cardinal's voice was resolute, his eyes behind his mask showed a terrifying light, and he said coldly: "Kill him directly!"
Rist's voice was like metal colliding, with an inexplicable killing intent, and Sade sighed and said to William: "Since the cardinal archbishop took office, nothing so shocking has happened!"
Sade glanced at the cardinal archbishop and said in a helpless tone: "Who would have thought that a future duke would betray the Church!"
William's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Which principality?" Thad was silent for a moment, but Rist said, "Sardinia!" William was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shad with an inquiring gaze, and Thad nodded with a bitter face. Rist said with a hint of remorse: "I didn't expect my wise big brother to give birth to such a thing!"
The Duchy of Sardinia is one of the Holy Alliances, which is composed of six Duchies near the Holy Mountain, and the Church has been established for more than 200 years, and has always been constantly intervening in everything of the six Duchies, and finally firmly controlled the Six Duchies. There is no doubt that the Holy Alliance is part of the Church, and there is a bitter gap between the two.
However, in the past few decades, these six principalities have gradually formed six major families in the church, among which behind the Duchy of Sardinia is the family of Cardinal Lister, the current Grand Duke of Sardinia is Cardinal's own brother, and this apostate is actually the nephew of Cardinal Archbishop!
Seeing William's shocked expression, Rist sighed and said, "My eldest brother has personally gone to the Holy Mountain to ask His Majesty for guilt, and the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Sardinia is temporarily held by my younger brother!"
William nodded, and Bishop Sade comforted: "Cardinal, as long as we can catch Venthner as soon as possible, Your Majesty will definitely forgive us Tantric Academy!"
Rist ignored Sade's comfort, but looked at William and asked, "What do you think?" William was silent for a while, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, I think he has been controlled by His Majesty Louis!"
Rist and Shad glanced at each other, Sadd's eyes were full of unease, and he asked in a bit of a panic: "Are you sure that you want someone from His Majesty Louis?" Although Rist did not speak, he could know from his breath that he was by no means at peace in his heart!
William was stunned for a moment, and he first reacted that this cardinal's own nephew might not only have confidential information about Fran, but he might even have other important information, and once this information fell into the hands of Louis, I am afraid that even Rist would not be able to pass safely.
William thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to Versailles tonight!" Sade looked at Eye Ste and said, "I'll go with you!"
William nodded and said to Lister, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to get people back!"
Lister patted William's shoulder and sighed: "I can only rely on you for this! Now Bol's strength is very weak! You understand the relationship between me and your teacher!" William's heart was shocked, but he quickly agreed: "I understand!"
