readx;? In the cardinal's holy hall, Clark stood by the window, looking at the endless stream of believers downstairs, but his eyes were glazed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

While he was eating lunch, a priestess wore a beautiful necklace and secretly showed it to him, oh, the pendant was low, maybe not to look at the necklace.

However, it reminded him of the portrait of Princess Andina, and he was trying to recall it.

Where have you seen the necklace on the portrait of the imperial princess?

He had already remembered that the chain was a congratulatory gift from the church to the emperor, and that the emperor had given it to the imperial concubine, but he always felt that he had seen this necklace somewhere.

Where is it?

Clark picked up the large canon, walked out of the Holy Grace Building, and walked towards the cathedral.

After absent-mindedly arriving at the cathedral, Clark went up to the second floor of the prayer hall of the church, where there was a large box for the cardinal archbishop, one side of the box was wallless, surrounded by an intricately carved balustrade, and the wall was in gold and red, showing dignity and luxury.

Of course, this is a private room, but it is called an observation deck here.

Sitting in a leather chair in the box, Clark with an amiable smile on his face watched as the priest performed the sacraments on the saints, and watched the bishop explain the doctrine and praise the greatness of the Most High God.

Occasionally, he would give some blessings to some of the devout believers downstairs, or simply nod his head as a sign of his kindness.

The sacrament, divided into several steps, begins with a day of fasting for devout believers, then bathes again, comes to the church, and makes an offering of gold coins.

The priest in the church will sprinkle the faithful with holy water and perform a simple holy light spell to complete the process.

After that, the believer is considered a saint.

Saints are neither clerical nor clerical, but only refer to more devout believers, and there is no difference between others and ordinary believers, and it does not matter whether this piety is true or not.

Only the sacrament of the nobility, Clark will personally preside over it.

The aristocrats came to become saints with different purposes, and in general, they were all for profit.

It may be to show closeness to the church, or to show others that he is not unruly, or to rely on piety to get help from the gods, or even to paralyze the church, and so on.

Clark will naturally give them a little face, because the nobles will not give less.

Stunned as he watched the day-to-day affairs of the church, Clark thought about his thoughts.

A priest was spreading holy water, which was only a little bit, and the believer ripped his collar a little as a sign of piety, so that the holy water flowed from his hair down his face to his chest instead of drenching it on his clothes.

His eyes lit up, and Clark finally remembered where he had seen the princess's necklace.

Louie, that's right, Louie, Louis may have come to perform the sacrament just after he received the status of honorary count to show the princess that he was not an unruly person, and his sacrament was presided over and blessed by himself.

At that time, Louie, like this believer, tore open the collar slightly, revealing a necklace, which was the princess's, but Louie was a small person at that time, and he didn't notice it too much.

At this point, Clark couldn't sit still, and immediately left the cathedral, he wanted to go to the Grace Building to check the information and make sure that it was the necklace given by the church.

After returning to the Grace Building, Clark excitedly flipped through the materials in the Holy Dependency Hall.

After a few moments, a document with a pattern came into view, and Clark was sure that it was the chain.

At this time, a red deacon knocked on the door outside.

Clark put away the documents and said, "Please come in." ”

The Red Deacon walked in and whispered in Clark's ear, "My lord, Raphael was seen going to the Jinghua Equipment Shop and was summoned by the Imperial Princess, and he stayed for a while before leaving the Equipment Shop. In addition, Raphael and his squad leader had a bit of a conflict just now. ”

After the red deacon had told him about the Holy Shield Tower just now, he was about to leave the room.

Clark frowned slightly, that kind of skirmish is nothing, but even if this kid doesn't know his secret orders, he shouldn't go to contact the imperial princess, he said, "Wait, where is Raphael?"

The red deacon said, "James is taking him with him to familiarize himself with the affairs of the church. ”

Clark said, "Go and get him." ”

The red deacon took the order and went.

After Raphael received the summons, he naturally had to go to see Clark, and he hurriedly followed the Red Butler.

James continued to walk around with Teresie, explaining some of the taboos in the church.

When the two came to the large garden behind the cathedral, Deresy saw that there was a small courtyard surrounded by a low wall in the garden, and in this small courtyard there was only a simple stone room in a square square, and there were two knights guarding it at the gate of the courtyard, so she said curiously: "What is this house for, it is too ugly, it does not match the garden, and the people of the church are really not beautiful." ”

James' eyes flashed, and he said, "This is what people call the tomb of repentance." ”

"Tomb of Confession?" said Derecy, "how did I not know?"

James said: "It is also called the tomb of the oracles, and many false oracles in the church will be attributed here to show the repentance of the heart." Then, he said mysteriously: "I tell you secretly, these statements are all fooling outsiders, in fact, this is the place where the church places the secret scroll, which few people know, and the information you want to find about the evil necromancer may be in it." ”

Teresy looked very smart and said, "Then why did you tell me?"

It's just that her eyes glowing with excitement betray her heart.

James said: "This is because I am also curious, don't look at the two knights at the gate of this small courtyard, this is to avoid outsiders from paying attention here, in fact, in this garden, there are no less than a hundred Chosen Knights lurking, all to take care of here, and there is a powerful sorcerer from the Inquisition guarding the tomb in the tomb of Confession, I can only enter here to read some secret scrolls when I receive Clarke's order." ”

When he received Clark's order, he was curious to be able to go in and read the secret scroll, and even Derecy could hear the loopholes in James's words.

Teresy chuckled and said, "Don't think I don't understand, you must want to get more information so that you can gain power, right?"

James shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, that's what I thought. ”

"I'd like to go and see it, but if it's so tight, how can I get in?"

James said, "It's up to you to make up your mind." The Holy Magician in here is very healing, and here, far from the front of the church. Do you see so many ditches next to the courtyard? You pretend to have accidentally fallen and injured yourself, and I just don't pay attention for a while. ”

If you do this, you obviously can't pretend to be injured, at least you have to fall yourself lightly, Deresy was extremely curious about the stone room, clenched her fists, made up her mind, and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

James said: "The bookshelves inside have a warning array, if it goes well, as soon as you enter, you will fall to the first bookshelf on the left, where there is a map of the distribution of the church's forces near the imperial capital, which is very complete." This was because these volumes were most read, so they were gradually moved to the outermost shelves. ”

Teresie said strangely, "Why do you want the imperial capital?

James said: "Of course, but you also need it, you can't go far away to find a powerful necromancy, right? ”

Deresy nodded slightly, and walked towards the small courtyard with James, there were many ditches in front of the small courtyard, which was originally arranged in this way to increase the protection of the small courtyard.

As Dresy walked, she pretended to point to a plant in the distance and asked something, and James pretended to look at the plant.

"Oops!" Teresy stomped into the air and fell into the ditch.

Then she regretted it, and it hurt so much!

"Wow!" a strange scream came from beneath Deresy as she fell.

James had something on his mind, but he didn't notice the voice, he pulled up Derecy, fussed and asked how it was, and then he took her by the arm, came to the front of the small courtyard, and said to the guard at the gate of the courtyard: "Please inform the master of the tomb, this is President Vera's beloved disciple, accidentally injured a little, ask him to heal." ”

Actually, Teresy herself knows how to heal herself, but how could the guards know.

Nothing had ever happened to the tomb of confession in the imperial capital, and it was not a big deal to treat it, and the people were brought by James, so the guards were not vigilant.

After one of the guards went in to report, the door of the tomb opened, and the guard reported a few words to the hut, and then returned to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Lord Tomb Keeper, please!"

Dressy took James' hand and went into the burial chamber.

The secret scroll can only be consulted here, and it is never allowed to be taken out, so the layout in the tomb is very simple, and there is very little idle space, except for the rows of dense scroll shelves, there is only a thick beast carpet.

An old man with a gloomy face was sitting on the ground, and he said lightly: "Come on, get out quickly after treatment, James, you actually broke the rules." ”

James let go of Dressy and hurriedly saluted, as if wanting to explain, but Dressy leaned and leaned towards the red scroll shelf.

A faint wave of energy spread out inside the burial chamber.

The old man was shocked, he didn't care about Derecy, but hurriedly ran out of the tomb and made a gesture!

The figures that appeared among the rocks, flowers and trees in the garden disappeared again under the gesture of gestures.

The old man saw that there were a lot of dense scroll clips, which were very neat, so he casually threw out a holy healing technique at Derecy, and said angrily: "You girl is too careless, go out! James, no matter what the situation is in the future, you are not allowed to bring people in without an order!"

James said with an embarrassed face: "Teresy is a disciple of Vera, the face of the Magic Guild, we have to give some, thank you master, let's go." ”

With that, he made a salute, grabbed Dressy and left.

Because James was afraid of the old man's attention, after entering the tomb, he didn't go to see Dresse's actions, and after the two left the garden, James asked, "Did you get it?"

Delecy shook her head and said, "No, those dense volume clips are so neat, I don't dare to take them." ”

James was a little disappointed, but it was meant to be a try, and it was okay if he failed.

He was in no mood to take Dressy around anymore, so he said, "You can walk around, I won't assign you any tasks, church, you can come if you like." As for those important positions, I have told you all, you should not go in at will, otherwise it will cause trouble for your guru. ”

"I'm not an ignorant child. ”

James nodded, and left alone.

Outside the Sacred Dependency Hall on the second floor of the Grace Building, Raphael waited in the corridor for a while, and only after a red deacon who had reported on the affairs of the church had left was he allowed to see him.

Raphael saw that Clark's face was flushed and seemed to be happy, so he lowered his eyebrows and said, "My lord, is there anything you want me to do?"

Clark wasn't happy about the necklace, the necklace only gave him an extra hole card, he was happy that through this rebellion, many parts of the empire secretly attached to his clergy did it.

This is what the Red Deacon came to report, so there have been a lot of deaths of bishops and the like in various parts of the empire recently.

However, when Clark saw Raphael, his face sank slightly, and he said, "What do you say?"

Raphael thought about it and understood, but he really didn't expect Clark to pay so much attention to him, so he said, "My lord, I met Princess Andina, and I talked to her for a while, and she liked me very much. ”

Clark sat still, "Oh, I like you, why? You're a Templar." ”

Raphael said: "The princess said that I would not be able to do well in the church, and she seemed to think that I should not appear in the Jinghua equipment store, saying that this proves that I am not valued by the church. I don't know why she thinks so, so she pretends to be a little indignant, and after we chatted for a while, the princess also said that if you need gold coins, you can provide them to me, so that I can improve my status in the church, as long as I can play a role at a critical time, then at least give me a viscount status in the future, and a city-state. ”

When someone takes a fancy to something, the value of that thing increases, regardless of what the value is.

It's also a good thing to get close to the princess, Clark said: "Raphael, a city-state is nothing. ”

Raphael said, "Yes, sir. I've heard that in the selection of marshals, the imperial concubine supports the academic faction, so I don't think it hurts to be close to the imperial concubine. I only said that I would think about it, but I didn't say yes right away, otherwise she wouldn't believe me. I want to succeed in gaining the trust of the imperial concubine and report this matter to the adults. ”

Clark said, "Raphael, do you really think so?"

Raphael smiled: "His Majesty the Pope has many subordinates, Princess Andina is not short of talents, Louis is just a new nobleman, nothing at all." ”

Clark was quite satisfied when he heard this, and his heart moved, and said: "Your choice is very smart, Louis is the mistress of the imperial concubine, and they will be jealous of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Raphael wondered in his heart, what did he tell himself to do? ”

Clark laughed, "But, now I have proof!"

Raphael was surprised when he heard this, could the princess be so careless? Well, Clark would never tell himself such an important thing for no reason.

He said, "My lord, is there anything you need me to help?"

Clark said: "Raphael, the princess gave Louis a space necklace given by His Majesty, and when Louis was in the sacrament, this chain was seen by me. Since you are close to the imperial concubine, then my request is very simple, you must find a way to gain the trust of the imperial concubine and Louis, and get the necklace when Louie returns to the vicinity of the imperial capital. ”

Space props, once the spiritual imprint in it changes, then as long as it is not actively calmed down, it will take several days for this imprint to be restored, and this time depends on the strength of the user's mental power.

It seems that Clark is preparing to surprise Andina at the imperial celebration ceremony, although the emperor is afraid of the strength of Andina's mother family, and may not attack on the spot, but it is definitely possible to make the imperial concubine lose the emperor's trust. As for Louie, he was probably already jealous of the emperor, but there was not much difference.

This kind of thing, it is useless to provoke His Majesty the Emperor, the imperial concubine can completely excuse the necklace was stolen, Louie's identity is different now, and he may not be wearing it exactly, and he must get the necklace to have evidence.

The difficulty of this matter is actually not small, Raphael will not agree to it, otherwise it will only show that he is loyal to the imperial concubine, so he said: "My lord, I will do my best." ”

Clark stood up, walked to the window, looked at the believers outside, and said, "Come and see here!"

Raphael approached the window respectfully, looked at what else was there but the believers, and said, "My lord, my subordinates are stupid, and they don't see anything." ”

Clark smiled slightly, and said: "There are hundreds of millions of people in the empire, how many people have the opportunity? Just like this cathedral, there is a steady stream of believers who come in and pray every day, but how many can get the grace of God? Raphael, if you want to be reused, you must have enough talent." ”

Raphael muttered secretly, I'm afraid there was none, he said with a serious face: "Yes, my lord, I will always think about the position of the adult when I do things, and I will never live up to the expectations of the adult." ”

Thinking about doing things from the standpoint of adults, this statement is a bit exquisite, leaving a lot of leeway for yourself.

Clark didn't hear it, he looked at Raphael's expression carefully, and saw only firmness, then nodded with satisfaction, and looked out the window again.

"Huh?" Clark snorted.

In the garden, a lovely girl in a long dress is sneaking behind a cluster of flowers.

The girl thought she was secretive, but her whereabouts were clearly visible to Clark on the second floor.

A small animal sprang out from under the girl's skirt.

The little animal was snow-white, with a large furry tail and a pair of deft front paws, and its claws clutched two yellowed pieces of paper, and its beaver-like head was lifting hard, and its big eyes were turning bonelessly, looking at the girl with a flattering look.

This is a snow cat, the snow cat is very intelligent and cute, but it is not a magical beast, and is often caught by jugglers for training.

The girl took the clumped paper, took out some dried fruit and gave it to the snowcat, then giggled, put the paper away, and triumphantly walked towards the gate of the church forecourt, where the snowcat had slipped under her long skirt, which she had almost dragged to the ground.
