The next day, when the cardinals of the Eternal City met for a meeting, they also talked about the coexistence of the two archbishops of Neustria, unlike later generations, cardinals in the Middle Ages were not necessarily bishops, and even ordinary believers who had not made vows could become cardinals, but to be honest, in the case that bishops may have wives and children, the difference between clergy and laity is really indistinguishable from ordinary people except clothes.

Although the presence of two archbishops in Neustria may seem horrific to the average person, it is nothing to the well-informed cardinals of the Eternal City, who are well aware of the secrets of politics. Baptista's plan has already been affirmed internally. The reason why it was repeated on this day was that the men of the orthodox archbishop of Neustria had learned of the arrival of the new archbishop by boat, and had once again complained to the Holy See, which was encouraged by those who supported them.

"Apart from the complaint, did they show any sincerity?"

"The conditions are the same as before."

"Oh."

"Didn't they add to their sincerity?"

"I'm very excited, I've ordered people to watch them and tell them not to fight with the new guests, that would not be good-looking."

"Be excited, now the excitement shows that they are afraid, and they must fear our lord, and they must know how to be afraid, and they must know that they are not supposed to have one, and if they understand, they will understand that it is for themselves to give—then, what sincerity do our new guests have for the position of Archbishop of Neustria?"

"They didn't say anything."

"Uh, wouldn't it? They came so far away. Is it just for sightseeing and pilgrimage? ”

"No, it's the receptionist - Turkulani and the new Archbishop of Neustria have had a bit of a holiday in the past." A cardinal next to him suddenly interjected. Originally, he was going to arrange for his nephew to do the reception work, but he was robbed by Turkulani's relatives.

"Holidays? What is the holiday? The other cardinals didn't know about it. They all asked.

"The new archbishop of Neustria, who turned out to be a commoner, is still young, and in short, Turkulani has a bit of a holiday with him here, and it seems that he has not received it." The cardinal blinked, and the others understood what he meant, for in this holy city children and prostitutes were as much at home in the temple as they were in the temple in ancient times. So the cardinals immediately understood the hint, but Turkulani's relatives immediately stood up and fired back: "This slander is unjustified! My relatives are of noble birth ......"

His speech was interrupted by a burst of laughter, and it was evident that there were not three-year-olds or pure traversers who believed in the power of faith, but sophisticated politicians who were not surprised by what had happened, and who awkwardly stopped his defense and regretted how he had not thought of his evil habits when he brought up Turkulani - probably because Turkulani had always been very flattering to the powerful, and he had forgotten his attitude towards the common people. And the new Archbishop of Neustria happened to be of civilian origin.

When the laughter stopped, the most powerful and experienced cardinal in the room spoke: "Let Turkulani continue his mission, and we will know nothing." ”

"What? Why? ”

"Let Turkulani reveal it. The orthodox archbishop is submitting a complaint with us, and he does not dare to go back. The sophisticated politician said, "To get rid of Turkulani." This beautiful kid is definitely willing to pay more. ”

"What if he's willing to pay the bill with himself?" The cardinal from before was unconvinced, saying, "This young man has risen so fast. You don't think he's keeping his vows of chastity. ”

"Ah, then we have a reason to take back the shawl at any time." The ginger is still old and spicy. "If anyone else is willing to pay more for this shawl, then, 'Chrysanthemum pathways, what an appalling sin!' We want to purify the Neustrian church! ’”

There was another light laugh, and the clever decision was decided.

Later that day, Turkulani, who had received a certain guarantee, rushed to the "Flying Santsina", leaving behind his retinue, and almost as soon as he saw the young archbishop, he showed his newly-acquired majesty, assured by the high echelons of the Church: "The representative sent by your Archbishop Joseph of Neustria has once again complained to His Majesty the Pope!" They have pointed out many of your anomalies, and there are Neustrian exiles who have sworn testify, and there is not much time left for you! Don't think of any tricks to change contacts, you have to hurry up and repent! Bow your proud heads, and do not think that the archbishop is nothing, not to mention that he has not yet received his shawl, for you must know that there is no room for pride in this Eternal City as in the eyes of the gods and his old men! Repent quickly, or you will not be able to get the shawl of the illustrious archbishop, even if you want to maintain the status of an ordinary believer! ”

He uttered such vicious words as he spoke, but he did not relax in his actions, and approached his prey step by step, until it almost touched the archbishop's face, and his breath blew his hair, and then he whispered in the young archbishop's ear: "When the fast is over, come to my uncle's ......chapel."

The archbishop, who had been cornered by him to the wall, stared at him with wide eyes in surprise, as if speechless by his audacity and shamelessness, Turkulani appreciated this expression with satisfaction, then took a step back, raised his voice and said further intimidating: "Time waits for no one, it's too late to repent, it's too late, hehe!" ”

He shamelessly coerced and intimidated the archbishop, and was about to push the door out triumphantly when a servant, who did not know what had happened, came with a delicate porcelain pot and a crystal cup.

Turkulani was about to leave, but when he saw something brought and guessed that it was for the archbishop, he stopped again.

The servant looked at him suspiciously, but did not pay much attention, and then knelt beside the archbishop. A glass of wine was poured, and the rich aroma immediately overflowed. The archbishop immediately raised his glass as if he wanted to forget something unpleasant, and when he brought it to his lips. The face that disgusted him reappeared.

"It is not advisable for fasting saints to drink," said Turkulani, who gloated at the sight of his drinking, "give me a drink, my lord, for I don't believe you have served anyone." ”

"You ......," the archbishop was so angry that he pushed the glass into his hand.

Turkulani did not shirk, and took the glass that had been stained by the archbishop's lips into his hand, and drank it in one gulp, it was indeed a fine wine. He deliberately stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, insulting the archbishop once again with this rude body language, and the servants present were also stunned, and he heard the heavy footsteps of the others gradually rushing here, so he let go of the archbishop and walked outside.

When he reached the deck, feeling that he had won a great victory, and that he would achieve an even greater victory in the near future, he met with several of his attendants who had been left on the deck by him. When he was about to leave the devil's ship, he heard a shout from behind: "Stop! ”

If that was said by the second man, Turkulani would not have stopped at all, after receiving instructions from the cardinals. He already saw himself as the master of the Neustrian Mission, but that was from the mouth of the archbishop he had just insulted in that way.

"How?" He turned haughtily and said, "Our Venerable Bishop, whose tone surprised all the retinues who had always followed him. Because it was a tone of a purely insulting nature, he said that the bishop was like calling a prostitute) Do you want to repent now? ”

"You are the one who should repent!" The archbishop shouted at Turkulani. "You are not doing like someone who has received the Holy Spirit. Like the Gentiles who don't know God! If you do this more and more to bully your brothers, the Lord will repay you! ”

"Hah!" Turkulani was about to laugh out loud with contempt, he thought that the mention of God would scare him, in the past in the abbey of Abbot Dora he used to call the name of the god stupidly and chanted the canon, and now he wanted to rely on the gods and canons to save his face, ridiculous! There was no abbot of Dora here, and the cardinals had acquiesced in his insult to the precarious archbishop.

"It's hard to say whether you are my brother or not," he said, mocking his precarious position and his rivals, "this is the Eternal City, not Neustria, where the Gentile elders are honored is nothing. ”

"The will of creation is near!" The archbishop closed his eyes and said, "You are only interested in indulging yourself, denying me that I am a brother in your church, and you are blindly defilement, you are not rejecting man, you are rejecting God!" If you try to defile others, you will defile yourself! ”

"Don't pretend anymore, I won't believe ......" The arrogant contact didn't finish his voice, and suddenly became irritated, and he slammed his fist on the railing, and then another punch, and his mouth roared, but no one understood the words.

"My lord! What's wrong with the adults? One of his henchmen hurriedly approached him, trying to understand what he was yelling at, "Ah~~" He immediately screamed violently.

"What's wrong? What happened? Several of the other attendants also hurried forward, and when they saw what had happened, they were all stunned!

Turkulani, who was arguing with the archbishop just now, actually bit off the ear of his most confidant!

And that's not all!

He continued to gnaw on the face of the retinue who had followed his master and was now extremely unfortunate because of his master, and the blood foamed down the face of the unlucky man, accompanied by a terrible scream, and this horrible scene frightened the rough retinue who had seen many savage brawl scenes!

"The hosts! Master! Two of them cried out in vain, while the other, a more clever one, stepped forward to try to free his companion from under his master's teeth, "Master! What's wrong with you! Don't just look at it, come and help! ”

Together, the three of them were able to save their unfortunate companion from under his master's teeth, but Turkulani was not discouraged by the loss of food, and he turned his head and began to gnaw on the wooden railing of the ship.

"Oh! No! "When the retinue saw this madness of their master, they didn't know what to do.

"Help me, save me!" The retinue, who had had had had one ear and half of his face gnawed off, cried out miserably.

Seeing this terrible and bloody scene, the Neustrians were much calmer, and they all drew crosses and chanted: "The will of creation is near!" ”

Hearing the screams and fights coming from the ship, the soldiers patrolling the docks also rushed over, and when they found out what was happening, the priest sent to this ship by the Eternal City suddenly went crazy and bit his own entourage, and they were all frightened: "Oh my God! Oh, my God! This man is crazy! ”

"It was good just now, but he went crazy after he spoke ill of our archbishop!" The Neustrians told the patrolling soldiers and their commanders.

"This ......" The patrol commander who arrived in a hurry could not believe it at first, but the retinue of Turkulani did not refute the Nyustrians' claims, so he believed it, "Alas, alas, this man must be demon-possessed, and dare to be so disrespectful to a noble bishop!" Your Excellency, we will send him to an exorcism! ”

"It must be possessed by demons, otherwise how could they be so frenzied and defiled with such disproportionate words and filthy behavior, these demons are really hateful, they have always been against my lord, and they have caused discord in the church," the bishop tolerated the man who was still insulting and threatening him just now, "if I can, let me exorcise the demons for him." ”

"It couldn't be better than that." The patrol commander was grateful, and Turkulani's retinue could not raise a word of objection.

Although the bishop agreed to exorcise the demon for the man who had insulted him just now, the specific ritual was not done by him, and after Francis easily knocked down Turcurani, who was still carving the railing with his teeth, with a cabbage, the trio of Jeanne, Boa, and Luna stepped forward together, and used several ropes to hang the imposing Turkulani in the air, stripped off his clothes, and put their expertise to work.

Jeanne stretched out a fair, soft hand that seemed to be dedicated to indoor work, and with a "click" dislocated Turkulani's jaw, making him unable to keep his mouth shut, and then Boa inserted a funnel-shaped instrument into Figure-2 Curani's mouth and held the funnel in place with a rope.

Next, she inserted a similarly shaped tool into Turkulani's ass.

"This ...... What is this for? "The patrolmen and Turkulani's retinue were only watching, they had never seen this kind of exorcism before, but there were many ways to exorcise demons, and this Neustrian method seemed to be a combination of methods for dealing with madness...... Probably......

"Exorcism." Jeanne said to them in no uncertain terms, "Whoever tries to defile others will be defiled, and then the demons will retreat!" ”

"Oh, oh." The patrolmen and Turkulani's retinue nodded stupidly, they didn't know how to exorcise demons, and they had to listen to the bricks in this regard...... It looks like the words of the brick family.

Then, they saw that Luna had brought two buckets, one for manure and one for cloudy soapy water.

"First it is filthy, then it is cleansed," the archbishop commanded, "and it must be defiled with the filth it emits itself, and then it can be cleansed and removed." ”

"Yes!"

So, in full view of everyone, one spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls...... The manure poured into Turkulani's mouth from the funnel-shaped utensil, and he began to vomit violently, but as soon as he stopped vomiting, Boa coldly added another spoonful to him.

It would be a mistake to think that this was all there was to it, and after pouring a lot of into the contact's mouth, the trio reoriented themselves and poured soapy water into a funnel in the back.

"I think my chrysanthemums are cold and ......" Adair, who had witnessed the exorcism ritual from beginning to end, thought of the gambling games he had played on the ship before, and couldn't help muttering, he glanced at the knight, and he could see from the other party's expression that the other party and him were quite sympathetic.
