Chapter 359: Fowler, Archbishop (Two in One, Ask for Subscription!! )
Hearing Princess Sophia's name, William Brown's cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
What is a secret?
What is not known is the secret!
Can a well-known thing be called a secret?
"I have a common hobby with Princess Sophia, she likes to appreciate paintings, and it just so happens that I like it too, and I have a lot of collections, and occasionally we talk to each other."
William Brown asked tentatively, "How did Your Excellency the Prime Minister know about Princess Sophia?" Could it be that His Highness told you? ”
"Is it important that Your Highness said it?"
Nonsense, of course it matters!
If Arthur said it himself, then Ma Wei is likely to be here to find out the situation today, if not, then Ma Wei has another purpose.
William Brown is the Marquis of Swinsea, the leader of the Brown family, and the third Knights of the Round Table, codenamed Geraint.
He was one of the first members to join the Knights of the Round Table, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was Arthur's henchman, except for Gawain and Lancelot, only Shaun Rickman, codenamed Bedwell, could be his equal.
"I remember that Mr. Mayor seemed to have attended His Highness's wedding two years ago."
"Yes."
"At that time, you objected to His Highness marrying Gulhana, I want to know the reason."
"How long has this been, what's there to be curious about?"
William Brown was a little impatient: "Did His Highness ask you to come?" I don't have the time to waste an entire day here! ”
"It's about your loyalty, Mr. Mayor, and in order to prevent you from saying that I am deliberately targeting, I have brought in a Witness."
"Who?"
In the darkness of the office, Edward appeared with Gawain, and they had been in the room, both to be vigilant and to hear William Brown's answers.
"Gawain!"
William Brown was a little surprised: "Your Highness, he really doubts me?!" ”
"Don't get excited, Geraint, His Highness doesn't doubt you, he believes in your loyalty, it's just that a lot has happened recently, Your Highness needs to sort out your thoughts." Gawain said.
After Gawain appeared, William Brown calmed down, lit a cigarette and said quietly, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"At the wedding two years ago, why didn't you support His Highness marrying Gulhana?"
"Because marrying Gulhana is just His Highness's personal idea! It's not good for the big picture! William Brown said confidently: "If His Highness had married the Holy Maiden Evelyn, where would there be so much trouble today!" The throne has long been his! ”
"Then why do you support Your Highness?"
Ma Wei said an extremely damning sentence: "Your Highness back then, you were just a down-and-out prince, if you were for utilitarian gain, there were many better choices, but you still pledged your allegiance to Your Highness and chose to become a Knight of the Round Table, this kind of action, I can only explain it with your relationship with Princess Sophia." ”
All the people present were Arthur's cronies, and Ma Wei didn't hide it, and said bluntly:
"When you chose Your Highness, if it was because of Princess Sophia, then at the wedding, you should respect and support His Highness's inner thoughts."
"But what you did seemed to be saying that you supported His Highness not because of Princess Sophia, but for utilitarianism, but in this way, why did you choose Your Highness?"
"Enough! You're a strong word! ”
William Brown said angrily: "Of course I hope that His Highness will get better!" Marrying Gulhana is just wishful thinking on the part of His Highness, is there any other benefit besides letting His Highness choose the person he likes? It was a wrong choice! Even today I think it's wrong! ”
"You say I'm utilitarian, that's true, but isn't my utilitarian also for His Highness? What's so bad about that? Do you know how much Your Highness has endured and how much anger you have endured to get to this day? How can you give up because of a woman! ”
"You admit that you have a lot to do with Princess Sophia?"
"Me"
William Brown was stunned, and then he realized that it was all Ma Wei's agitation just now.
It is impossible to tell whether you are loyal or not from the matter of opposing Arthur's marriage to Gulhanna, and there are many reasons to explain it, but as long as you explain it, it will often reveal your true thoughts.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
"Nothing."
Putting away the real pocket watch that was swaying in his hand, Ma Wei said, "You can go, I have to attend the promotion ceremony of Archbishop Fowler in the afternoon." ”
William Brown left confused, he was still a little scared when he left, he was frightened by Ma Wei's strange operation, powerful people are not scary, what is scary is that you don't know what the other party is thinking.
"Why did you let him go?"
Gawain asked, "Do you already know his identity?" ”
"Not sure yet." "But I have sent someone to the kingdom of Frederick to inquire about Princess Sophia, and William V should be very familiar with his sister, and if Princess Sophia has been obsessed with the legend of Avalon since she was a child, then her suspicion will be lessened, and if Princess Sophia has become obsessed with folklore after marrying in London, then William Brown is very suspicious." ”
"If Princess Sophia has a problem, it means that William Brown has a problem, right?"
"That's right." Ma Wei nodded: "The ancient god forces will not easily have an affair with humans, they have a strong purpose, and they often come into contact with either targets or the same kind. ”
The forces of the Old Gods had already infiltrated London, and the situation was fundamentally different from what Ma Wei had envisioned.
The Demon Gate was unearthed by the Doomsday Party decades ago, which means that the forces of the ancient gods have been laid out for at least a few decades, and the lost historical documents, the truth that has gradually been tampered with, and the ubiquitous inner ghosts are all their handiwork!
There are not many people Ma Wei can trust, and it is difficult to find out the inner ghost around him before Baji's strength is restored, and as the ancient god forces interfere more and more deeply with the real world, the real pocket watch has begun to lose its effect, which is not a good sign.
When the real pocket watch is completely invalid and it is impossible to judge the truth, it means that the forces of the ancient gods have completely penetrated, and they can tamper with history at will!
Once history has been tampered with
How many more transcendent beings like the Kraken will be resurrected, who have already perished?
What disasters will the legendary races such as the Black Dragon Nidhogg and the Frost Giants bring to the world?
In addition to sending people to Frederick's kingdom to investigate information about Princess Sophia, Mavi also asked Fat Tangerine to focus on spying on William Brown.
Now the eyes of the Cat Legion have spread all over the streets and alleys of London, even the inside of the palace, and is currently expanding to the outside, William Brown did not live in London before, and the Cat Legion could not monitor him, but now he has become the Mayor of London, so he naturally wants to move into London, so that he has also entered the surveillance range of the Cat Legion.
What Ma Wei is most afraid of is the inner ghost who has the power of the ancient gods around him, but fortunately, Yunia can feel whether the believers have provided her with the power of faith, as long as there is, she can basically rule out suspicion, such as Kovalev and other members of the Aurora Society.
The second is Levine and Daniel, the two of them are not suspicious, after all, Levine is the key left by Neireida and Asis, and does not belong to the same camp as the forces of the ancient gods, and Daniel has Luca's personal protection, if there is a problem, Lukka must be the first to find out.
As for Edward.
Ma Wei trusts it and believes that it is really amnesia, not to mention that everyone has signed a contract, and it is no secret that the ancient god forces value the contract the most.
The rest of the people around him, Muir is not involved in the core, and they don't know the real secrets of the Church of Truth at all, let alone Fat Orange and Little Black, who have been together for so long, do they have different intentions, and they still don't know?
They are all loyal believers who provide Eunia with the power of faith!
From this point of view, it seems that there are no inner ghosts around him, and even if there are, they are isolated from the center of power.
Belief in the gods can defeat the ancient gods, a large part of which is due to the unique source of power, the believers who provide power to the belief in the gods are certainly not disguised by the forces of the ancient gods, this basic logic, has also been passed down for tens of thousands of years, helping the belief in the gods to bury the ancient gods several times The conspiracy.
Ma Wei firmly believes that up to now, the people around him can be trusted, which is also what he has relied on to get all the way to today.
In the afternoon, Marvey arrived at St. Paul's Cathedral not far from the next door, and he did not lie to William Brown that he was really going to attend the promotion ceremony of Archbishop Fowler.
Because of the internal personnel change, the church did not make a big move, only invited internal personnel to participate, and announced that the Archbishop of Cambury had resigned for personal reasons and let Bishop Fowler succeed him.
Ma Wei is now an absolute insider, his status is more important than that of ordinary bishops, he can sit on an equal footing with cardinals, and his status is second only to the three archbishops and the pope.
Pope Ubley I agreed to the succession of Bishop Fowler, firstly, because Bishop Fowler had long been his lackey, and secondly, Bishop Fowler did have some credit in New Ross, if the church had listened to his advice earlier, how could the Church of Truth still have the glory it has today?
Third, and most importantly.
The church needs a white-faced person to suppress Ma Wei to a certain extent.
Pope Ubri I and Archbishop Brandon are red-faced, always smiling at Mavi, but this can't last, what if Mavi is complacent?
At this time, it is necessary for a white-faced singer to jump out and oppose Mavi, Archbishop Brandon helps Mavi, and the Pope is high up to reconcile and balance
Balance lasts.
This little thought of Ubli I, Mavi saw through it at a glance.
See through it, don't say it.
"Nicholas!"
In the midst of the crowd, Archbishop Brandon approached Mavi and invited him to sit beside him, and the promotion ceremony took place in the pulpit, under the statues of the three goddesses, as a sign of fairness and justice.
With Ma Wei's current status, he can't sit in the last row if he wants to, so he can only be pulled to the first row by Archbishop Brandon, which seems to be an honor, but it is actually a shackle.
When he sits wherever he wants, it means that he has reached the top.
The promotion ceremony was boring and boring, nothing more than those toss-and-over scenes, swearing allegiance to the goddess and the like, Ma Wei ate more than a dozen mint leaves in a row before he yawned.
Instead, Yunia leaned on him and slept whirringly.
It was close to evening, the sun began to set in the west, and the tedious ceremony was over, and in the noisy voice, Ma Wei pushed Yunia, Yunia opened her eyes blankly, wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth, and looked around: "Have you eaten?" ”
"Are you hungry?"
Yunia touched her little belly, nodded and said, "Sort of. I dreamed of grilled lamb chops just now! ”
That's probably because the bishop next to you sprayed pepper rose essential oil. Ma Wei sneered.
Dino didn't lie, pepper rose essential oil is such a strange thing in London that someone really sprays, it smells like a barbecue stand, can you not think of grilled lamb chops?
It would be nice to have some lamb for dinner, and Mavi was thinking this, when Pope Ubli I walked side by side with Archbishop Fowler and said to him: "Nicholas, I am so glad that you have come to the promotion ceremony. ”
Bishop Fowler also said at the right time: "I have a misunderstanding with Prime Minister Nicholas, but I think with Prime Minister Nicholas's mind, I should not care. ”
"The misunderstanding has been cleared up a long time ago, hasn't it?" Ma Wei smiled: "I believe that is not the original intention of Archbishop Fowler, let the past pass, no one should mention the original misunderstanding, let alone take it to heart, what do you think, archbishop?" ”
"No problem!"
"Still."
Ma Wei suddenly changed his words: "I heard that Archbishop Fowler and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince are very close, is there such a thing?" ”
Without waiting for Archbishop Fowler to answer, Mavi laughed to himself: "How is this possible? Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in London, saying that Archbishop Fowler did not hesitate to marry off the holy daughter of the church in order to win over the fourth prince, and this kind of behavior of public welfare and private interests is certainly not done by Archbishop Fowler. ”
Archbishop Fowler's face was a little unbearable, it was obvious that Ma Wei was changing the law to hurt him, but he couldn't say anything, so he could say what he could say?
Ubre I was silent, and did not mean to explain at all, until Mavi left with Yunia, and then he spoke: "Fowler, you should stay away from the fourth prince. ”
"Why? Just because he Nicholas supported the second prince? ”
"Because of Nicholas, he is irreplaceable at the moment." Glancing at the somewhat indignant Archbishop Fowler, Ubrey I said, "You have already become an archbishop, why do you still support the fourth prince?" What's in it for you to support him? The current king is the second prince Shukri I! His soul can be a king for at least 50 years! ”
"No surprises." Archbishop Fowler muttered quietly.
"What did you say?"
"I said I knew." Archbishop Fowler took a deep breath: "I will keep my distance from the fourth prince, so as not to be suspected." ”
Archbishop Fowler was not convinced, he was angry not because he wanted to keep his distance from Arthur, but because Mavi asked him to keep his distance from Arthur, and he had to obey!
One is active and the other is passive
Can it be the same?
This is the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, not a word of his Nicholas!
Because of a word, the beam of Mavi and Archbishop Fowler was concluded.
But that's exactly what Mavi wants to see, he just wants to make Archbishop Fowler angry, he wants Archbishop Fowler to oppose him, that's all
Arthur can get the full support of Archbishop Fowler!
