Chapter 30: Change
After Hansard had left his study, Edward IV spoke again, "What's the matter, don't you have any ideas?"
Looking at some people in the study who looked at each other, Edward IV couldn't help but feel a little helpless, as the current pope, Edward was really dissatisfied with the Holy See's secrecy policy for many years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is true that this policy has prevented the spread of panic on the mainland, and only the Pope is under tremendous pressure, but when the time comes, the years of comfort have left all the top echelons of the Holy See helpless.
"There is no better way than to strengthen the defense for a while, after all, after so many years, we can be said to know very little about the enemy. ”
Manto saw that no one had spoken, so he had to speak hard.
Edward IV couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw that everyone nodded yes to Manto's remarks, but he soon realized that this was also an opportunity.
"Then so be it, in addition to the Holy Light, the Divine Knights will also go to the Forbidden Mountain Range to defend, and at the same time, I will once again warn the Divine Dragon Empire to let them strengthen their defenses. ”
"Your Majesty, the Divine Favor has always been the last guardian force of the Holy Mountain, you can't ......" Pratz, the head of the Divine Knights, was interrupted by Edward IV before he could finish his words.
"Could it be that the safety of the Holy Mountain is more important than the entire continent? Besides, the Holy Mountain is guarded by Uriah, I am very relieved, you don't have to say anything!"
Although he was speaking to Platz, Edward IV's eyes kept on the other person, "What do you think, Archbishop Highland?" ”
Hailan smiled, and the wrinkles on her face all gathered together, making people look extremely uncomfortable. He was laughing, but with an eerie feel.
"Naturally, we have to obey the oracle of the Pope's crown. Platz, you can rest assured that you will go to the Forbidden Mountains!"
The atmosphere in the study became oppressive for a while, and Edward IV glanced at Platz, "Then it's decided, go and carry out the order, set off immediately, day and night!"
"Yes. Pratz reluctantly replied, and exited the study, seeing that Edward IV had no intention of saying anything more, and the others had left one after another, until at last only Manto was left.
"Do you think Hyland will be...... That?"
"There is such a possibility, but who can tell the difference between the true and the false. By the way, how is Alan?" Edward IV looked tired, rubbing his forehead, and asked Manto.
"There is no new situation, it should be very smooth in school. Manto paused, "But no one is suspicious?"
"It's okay, they don't know what's going on anyway, I'm afraid we've been dizzy. ”
"But the Son has not appeared, which has caused panic in the hearts of the people, and it is not conducive to the future succession. ”
"Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while. Edward IV smiled, but the Pope at this time was no longer as amiable as before, but like a sharp blade out of the sheath.
......
Alan was flipping through the textbooks he had received in the afternoon, but his eyes were not on the textbooks at all, because Allen's attention was all focused on other places at this time.
The faint fragrance wafting around him made Alan feel a little uneasy, and he turned his head to look at Elaine standing beside him again.
As soon as Elaine lit the candle on the table, she found that Alan was staring at her again, a little crying and laughing,
"Your Highness, don't forget what you said yourself, the three chapters of the covenant. ”
Alan coughed lightly twice, pretending to be reading seriously, "I know, it was just a little dark just now." ”
It turned out that in order to restore a normal relationship with Elaine, Alan proposed three chapters of the covenant to Elaine, and finally obtained Elaine's consent.
The three chapters of this covenant read:
1. Elaine must not deliberately show alienation and coldness towards Allen.
2. Alan is not allowed to flirt or act affectionately towards Elaine.
3. The two will resume their original normal friendly relationship, and the two will only be able to move forward when Alan has completed his goal and consolidated his position.
It was these three treaties that seemed fair that eased the relationship between the two. Of course, for Allen, knowing a little bit of the inside story, it is impossible for him to go on step by step.
It is very safe to go down according to Edward IV's arrangement, and any danger will be stopped by Edward IV, but everything is under the control of others.
Although he understands that Edward IV will never harm himself, Alan will never regard Edward IV as a grandfather who selflessly helps him, he must have his own plans and goals.
Originally, Alan didn't care about being a pawn, after all, his goal in life was to eat and wait for death, and Edward IV would sooner or later put the power of the Pope in his own hands.
But now it's different, knowing that the Presbyterian Council still exists, combined with some mysterious actions of the Holy See over the years, Alan has already smelled an unusual smell, although he doesn't know what will happen yet, but he must have his own strength to better deal with everything that will happen.
Seeing that Eren gradually fell into deep thought, Elaine smiled lightly, and then walked out of the room, letting Eren "study hard" by himself.
The soft sound of the door closing did not interrupt Allen's thinking, to establish a force of his own, it is undoubtedly quite difficult for Allen, who is now poor and white.
Not to mention that Alan is now in a state of hiding his identity, even if his identity is revealed, not to mention that it will lead to all kinds of crises, just because the Holy See knows that the Holy Son has formed a force independent of the Holy See, it is enough for Alan to drink a pot, and I am afraid that even Edward IV will not be able to protect him at that time.
However, Alan has a fairly good partner, and thinking of the one who lives next door to him, Alan gradually has an idea in his heart.
"Ahh......h
"Prince, what's the matter, are you cold, hurry up and rest. ”
"It's okay, I don't know who's talking to me, I'm fine. Nina, go to bed early, I've finished reading the first chapter, this textbook is quite interesting. Weiss at the desk didn't look like he usually looked lazy, and he devoted himself to the study of the textbook.
Nina pouted a little dissatisfied, but obviously knew Vess's habits, lying quietly on the bed, silently staring at Vess's back, and was a little stupid.
The Holy Spirit University, which had been disturbed for a day, gradually fell silent in the night, except for a few foraging night owls flying in the sky, and occasionally a few cries were heard, which seemed particularly loud in the silence.
Freshmen who have been busy all day will not make any out-of-the-ordinary actions at this time, and most of them gradually fall asleep with the expectation of tomorrow's class.
However, the quiet night always attracts the attention of some people, not only hooligans, thieves, and thieves, but also many decent people who like to act under the cover of the night, such as the two standing at the gate of the University of the Holy Spirit.
