Chapter 997: The Demon Who Protects His Body

The position of cardinal plays a role in the Holy See, and is a bridge between the upper popes and archbishops of the Holy See and the lower priests and believers, and many times the cardinals represent the Holy See as messengers to establish a communication channel with the secular kingdoms, responsible for coordinating the interests of the secular kingdom and the Holy See.

For the secular kingdom, the cardinal's visit meant that the Holy See had important matters to report, the importance of which even the king would not dare to ignore.

As the killing master of the void, Arreguso can ignore this cardinal of the Holy See, even if the Pope's status among mortals is so high, but for the demons of the void, he is just a bug that can be pinched to death, but as the prince of the secular kingdom, 'Dean' has no way to ignore it, at least not yet, he can't ignore the bishop of Issenor Riston.

After the squire pushed open the door to the common room, Dean met Iseno, and next to the cardinal stood not Arfield, the Angel of Judgment, but a papal knight with his eyes closed. There is still some impression of this knight, Aleguso, who led a small number of knights of the Holy See and soldiers of the Kingdom of Bellama to defend a checkpoint during the night of the demon attack, and seemed to be responsible for protecting Isenor Riston.

Knights of the Holy Radiance!Areguso judged the identity and strength of the other party at a glance, in the knights of the Holy See, as the highest-level knight, not only is it powerful, but also blessed by the gods to be able to use some divine arts!

Powerful ~ That's just the level of mortals.

When 'Dean' saw that the knight beside him was not an angel of judgment, he seemed to be a little relieved, and he was also seen by Iseno, but the old cardinal didn't worry about anything, mortals can make themselves disappear in the face of the existence of a snap of their fingers, fear, awe, nervousness and overwhelm are all normal, the coercion brought by the powerful strength of the transcendent is not something that ordinary people can bear, and mortals will naturally try to stay away from the transcendent unless they have to.

The Angel of Judgment as the messenger of the goddess naturally could not stay in the kingdom of Belrama for a long time, after quelling the demonic riots and purifying all the meeting points, the messenger of the goddess has received a new oracle and embarked on the road to the kingdom of Karut, according to the latest information received, there are a large number of cultists entrenched in a territory of the kingdom of Karut, and a sizable demon altar was also found in that territory, and it is speculated that it is likely to be the main altar of a demonic master, if it can be destroyed, it is equivalent to winning a major victory over the demonThe destruction of the main altar will make the cultists who worship demons lose the evil magic they have been endowed with in an instant, so that they cannot attack, and more importantly, it is necessary to send a warning to the cultists, that is, the filthy and evil masters they worship have no power in front of the gods, and the power of the demons they think they get is only a flash in the pan, and they will only get harsh judgments from the gods if they can't get any power from the demons!

In the west of the continent, those blind believers who worship the god of hypocrisy seem to have destroyed the main altar of a demon master, although Isenor is extremely dislike those false gods and indignant those who believe in the god of hypocrisy on the confused road, but this time Isenore also has to admit that they did a very good job of destroying the main altar of the demon master, regardless of the position factor, the cardinal still wants to congratulate those nameless warriors in the west of the continent, but it is precisely because of this that the Holy See cannot fall behind!

This time, the Holy See Knights of Light secretly assembled in the Karut Kingdom will gather high-ranking priests and messengers sent by the goddess to act together, not only that, but the knights of the eastern countries of the continent have entered a state of combat readiness, locked the target, and strove for the thunderous momentum to sweep away the cultists entrenched in the eastern part of the continent in one go.

"I'm sorry~ I've kept you waiting, Lord Issano Riston. After glancing at the knight, Alegusso looked away and naturally sat down across from the cardinal.

"I should have said sorry to disturb your rest to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Isano said very politely, not at all because he was a cardinal of the Holy See, and he looked like a very ordinary kind old man.

"Lord Iseno~ Is there anything important for you to come to see you suddenly?" Seeing that the Angel of Judgment was not present, Arlegusor did seem much more relaxed.

"Actually, it's mainly about your Highness. ”

"About me?"

Isano nodded: "Your Highness, your mother and sister Princess Refina have now set off from the royal capital, and are now heading to the Golden Spike Territory with the guards and the knights of the Holy See, and I believe they will arrive in two days." ”

"Thank you very much for your assistance, Your Excellency Cardinal. Arreguso, who was dressed as 'Dean', said with affection when he heard this.

In' After Dean chose to take the initiative to back down and give the throne to his brother Victor and become the new lord of the Golden Spike Territory, His Royal Highness Prince Dean was a little embarrassed as his mother and sister in the royal capital, theoretically the two should live in the palace of the royal capital as members of the royal family, but after this demon attack, the royal family's support for Dean, who interacts closely with the Holy See, is obviously higher than Victor's, even if Dean takes the initiative to back down, it is obvious that the dissatisfaction with Victor within the royal family is also strengthening, and even before Victor ascended the throne, the opinion that the eldest prince will not sit on the throne for too long permeated the entire royal capital, no wayAfter all, Prince Dean had a more long-term vision than the eldest prince Victor in this demon attack, and the Holy See vaguely showed that it was more in favor of the second prince Dean ascending to the throne.

The eldest prince Victor only took the initiative to retreat to the throne because his younger brother did not want to see the seriously damaged royal family further split and took the initiative to retreat to the throne, in fact, if Dean did not back down, the chance of victory in the end of this game was really small, and now although Dean chose to take the initiative to retreat, it made Victor a person desperate for power in the hearts of the ministers and the people, it can be said that Victor has not officially sat on the throne is already sitting on pins and needles.

Although the second prince, Prince Dean, stayed away from the royal capital after becoming the lord of the Golden Harvest Territory, will the eldest prince Victor be at ease? Will Prince Dean's mother and sister who stayed in the royal capital really be able to continue to live in peace, or will they become hostages used by Victor to take his younger brother hostage in the end, as long as they are not fools, they will know that Princess Refina and the princess will only have the possibility of becoming hostages in the future if they continue to stay in the king. But it is not a simple matter to let Princess Refina and her mother leave the royal capital to live in the Golden Spike Territory, at least there are many restrictions in the royal rules, and here 'Dean' has to use the power of the Holy See to pressure his brother.

The bond of kinship between human beings can become a strength and an obstacle!

Arleguso originally didn't care about the life and death of Dean's mother and sister Refina, anyway, they were just two insignificant mortals, but he could ignore it but 'Dean' couldn't ignore it, Aleguso, who had absorbed all of Dean's memories and experiences, became more and more proficient in maintaining Dean's habits after slowly assimilating these memories, and until now, neither the angel of the goddess nor Dean's mother and sister have seen that the prince has changed inside.

The Holy See's request for 'Dean' also seemed to be incumbent, probably completely shocked by the messenger of the goddess, and the Holy See succeeded in making Victor choose to back down with almost no effort this time, so that Princess Refina and her mother could leave the royal capital and go to the Golden Spike Territory to live with their brother and son, and this result also made the members of the faction who supported Dean breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the eldest princess and the princess would not become elbows, then it would be very simple to overthrow the eldest prince in the future.

Almost all the nobles and ministers loyal to Prince Dean believed that His Royal Highness was only temporarily refined, and did not want to hit the cusp of the situation when it was unstable.

Originally, Cardinal Issenor Riston also thought the same, but the bishop found something intriguing, that is, Dean walked too calmly and freely, as if he had let go of all the pursuit of secular rights, according to the secret investigation, it was clear that he had sworn in front of his mother and sister that he wanted to ascend to the throne, but then Dean, who almost completely overwhelmed Victor at the negotiation meeting, chose to back down directly after waiting for his brother to make an oath to agree to the conditions he offered.

It's very straightforward......

"Your Highness Dean, there is a question below. ”

"Please, Lord Isano. ”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Issenor looked directly at Dean in front of him and asked lightly, "Your Highness, you didn't want to be on the throne from the beginning, did you?"

β€œ... You see that?"

"Why? In fact, there are several bishops in the Holy See, including me, who are very supportive of your becoming king of the kingdom of Bellama than your brother, and you have the vision and wisdom to be better than your brother Victor, and you are more fit to sit on the throne than him. ”

Iseno asked very directly, there was hardly any bit of fuss, it was completely self-interpolated, and these involved the political level, especially the question of the heir of a country, was originally a taboo in the Holy See, it was a topic that must not be directly mentioned in the secular kingdom, the personnel of the Holy See can act secretly and interfere secretly, but it must not be mentioned in the open, because it will cause resentment among secular mortals, especially those kings who hold great power, will regard this as the interference of the divine right of the Holy See on the royal power。

But now Isenore did not hesitate to say it, because in the Holy See, there are some rules that are about to change.

Arreguso looked directly at the cardinal, and his tone was calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary topic, and said meaninglessly: "Because I want to protect myself, are you satisfied with this answer?" (To be continued.) )
