Chapter 536: The Night's Watchman's Death
Pollitt stood in front of the tall white stone pillars of the Holy See of Light, but his heart was gloomy.
The Night's Watch was gradually disregarded by the higher-ups of the Holy See of Light, so they were given some dirty work.
Assassinating Grace is simple, but the consequences of assassinating Grace can be big or small.
If he is not caught by others, it is fine, but once he is caught, then the Holy See may have to throw him out as a scapegoat.
The Holy See of Light used the Hohenheim incident to fuel the flames, wanting to trap the royal family of the Assyrian Kingdom and attack the royal majesty.
Then the royal family asked Grace to raid the Western Side Holy See and make Eddie's bastard do public, causing an archbishop to be beaten to death in the street, losing the face of the Holy See of Light.
The grievances between the royal family and the Holy See of Light have even reached the point of bayonets, and they are all pitting each other to death.
But both sides have one thing in common, that is, they have not completely torn their faces, and everything they do is within the rules and reasonable.
And now Pollitt is going to assassinate Grace, but this is actively expanding the war and breaking the rules, once he is caught, then the two sides will really tear their faces.
Therefore, as long as he fails and is caught, if the Holy See is unwilling to go to war, he will definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat.
This kind of thing will not be done by the chief priest of the priest temple, and the head of the three major knights will not come, but it will be left to himself.
Even if Pollit is resentful in his heart, he has to do it, otherwise he will offend a cardinal, and he will not have to mix in the Holy See.
At night, the Central District Police Station is still brightly lit.
Grace squinted and took a sip of her coffee, letting out a comfortable moan, but her eyes did not take her eyes off the dossier in her hand.
When he was in the West End, he could only drink some low-quality coffee with impure cane sugar.
The welfare of the Central District Police Station is very good, the coffee is mellow and rich, and fresh milk, condensed milk and delicate sugar cubes are added, and the taste is very different from before.
Although it is now popular among the nobles of the central district to drink coffee without sugar and pursue the original aroma of coffee, Grace still likes to add milk and a lot of sugar, although he is already very fat.
Dealing with one Eddie was smooth, but it was a big deal.
The archbishops of the other districts were all much more restrained, so that Grace could not do anything for a while.
However, they have done too many pickling things, and a closer investigation can still find a lot, and Grace is also preparing to step up his efforts and take action against another archbishop.
At this moment, a shadow rose from the chair behind him.
The shadow emerged from his shadow, and the shadow's hand transformed into a sharp blade that pierced Grace's neck!
At this moment, the miniature version of the Five Immortals suddenly appeared around the shadows, and they twisted!
Under the five gods moving the mountain, the shadow was instantly distorted into a strange angle, and with the blood spilled, Pollit suddenly snorted, and his body instantly broke away from the shadow.
Because it was an assassination, Pollit couldn't use the Light Divine Technique.
However, as the leader of the Night's Watch, the most special thing is that he not only knows the magic of light, but also some other secret techniques of the evil sect, all of which are obtained from some transcendents who have been suppressed or killed by the Night's Watch.
Pollit had already made inquiries before he came, Yang Cheng was in his apartment, and Master Morton was in the Alchemist Association.
There's no other transcendent here at the Central Police Station.
He never thought that Yang Cheng would ambush him here!
Before Pollit could react, Yang Cheng's figure came to him almost instantly, and his face was almost in front of him!
Two blood-colored swords appeared in Pollit's hands, twisting like living creatures and plunging straight into Yang Cheng's ribs.
But Yang Cheng's body shone brightly, and he actually held his two small swords with both hands, and the powerful force instantly broke his arms apart.
At the same time, Yang Cheng's knees pushed out one after another, and the booming Polit snorted a few times, and large strands of blood gushed out.
The two blood-colored swords were directly pinched and exploded by Yang Cheng, and Pollit's hands were hurriedly sealed, and the pitch-black mist condensed in his hands, and there seemed to be countless grievances in them.
But before those unjust souls roared and came, Yang Cheng slapped down, and the powerful force directly blasted those unjust souls into soul fragments.
Then a hand reached out and grabbed Pollitt by the neck, pressing him against the wall.
"Don't struggle, if you move again, I'll strangle you."
Pollitt didn't dare to move again, but his face was full of despair.
At first, he was afraid of Milton's orders, so he didn't dare to use the light magic spell.
Now that he is pinched in his hands by Yang Cheng, even if he uses it, it is useless.
Yang Cheng's strength was even more terrifying than he imagined!
When they were dealing with Hormonculus together, Polit was releasing water, so he didn't feel much divine pressure.
And because Hormonculus was too strong, he didn't think that Yang Cheng would be so strong.
Now he finally knew how huge the gap between the existence that could kill gods and the existence of him, who could be called a master among ordinary transcendents!
Giving up the struggle, Pollitt smiled bitterly: "I saw with my own eyes that you were back in your apartment, why are you still here?" ”
Yang Cheng said: "The Bright Sect will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss, so I have been by Director Grace's side for the past two days.
As for the thing you see, it's just a dummy made of alchemy, which is not difficult for Master Moulton, and you don't dare to look closer. ”
Pollitt smiled and said directly, "You kill me." ”
Yang Cheng was slightly stunned at this time.
He thought that this Pollit was either threatening or begging for mercy, but he didn't expect the other party to have such an attitude, begging for death as soon as he came up.
Even Yang Cheng could feel a twilight aura in him, as if he had completely despaired.
Grace on the side thought of something, and whispered a few words to Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng's face suddenly showed a look of understanding.
Letting go of Pollit, Yang Cheng said, "What am I going to do when I kill you?" Those guys from the Bright Sect might want me to kill you, and they have a chance to make an excuse. ”
Pollit's face was a little pale, he hadn't thought of this before, but he didn't expect it to be pointed out by Yang Cheng.
Just like Yang Cheng said, if he died here for no apparent reason, maybe the Holy See would use his death as an excuse to make trouble.
And he's just a tool.
"Sit down and talk."
Yang Cheng put Pollit in the chair, sat leisurely on the sofa in the office, and said: "You are actually a poor person, the taste of being used as a tool and fiddling with it is not comfortable, right?" ”
Seeing what Pollitt wanted to say, Yang Chengyi waved his hand and said, "Don't deny it, Grace told me everything about your experience."
Compared to other clergy or members of the Order of the Holy See, you have achieved the position of leader of the Night's Watch, but you are not a direct descendant of the Holy See.
You were just an ordinary civilian, but you were rescued by the Night's Watch after an unexpected supernatural event.
Because you were infected with the power of the evil gods, the Holy See was originally preparing to execute you, but it was the leader of the last night watch who saved you and asked you to join the night watch.
You are grateful to the last leader of the Night's Watch for saving your life, and over the years, you have contributed more to the Holy See and solved countless supernatural events for them, and you have definitely contributed more than the knights and priests of the Order.
But you are never a descendant of the Holy See, so even in the end, you don't even have the qualifications to compete for the leader of the Night's Watch.
You are the strongest of the Night's Watch, and you have completed the most tasks.
As a result, the position of the leader of the Night's Watch was parachuted into a deputy head of the Holy Order by the Holy See's higher-ups.
However, the guy was a silver-like pewter spearhead, and his strength was not very good, so he died unexpectedly in a supernatural event.
Of course, this accidental death is also very suspicious, you were not there in that operation, it is very likely that you laid out and deliberately killed that guy to create an alibi.
Sit down, don't get excited, it's just my guess, and I'm not going to tell anyone in the Holy See.
Since then, the position of Night's Watch has been vacant for some time, and no one in the Holy See wants to be the leader of the Night's Watch.
After all, this position is dangerous at most.
That's why the position of the leader of the Night's Watch, which no one wants to want, is in your hands.
But even so, you are still not a papal descendant, and being driven by them all day long is actually a tool that can be abandoned at any time.
It's like you've come to assassinate Grace this time.
What if the assassination is successful?
The rewards don't get any bigger, and if you get caught in the slightest bit of a slight, you'll be thrown out as a scapegoat.
Is it worth it to do your best to end up with such a result? ”
"Say no more!"
Pollit roared, but Yang Cheng didn't get angry, just looked at Pollit with a calm gaze.
The cultivation of successors by the Bright Sect has always been valued by the word lineage, and all the high-level leaders have been cultivated in the Bright Sect since childhood.
It's just that some are trained as knights, and some are trained as priests.
But no matter what it is, only this kind of existence that has been baptized by the God of Light since childhood is qualified to be promoted to the top level in the Holy See of Light, otherwise it will be useless even if you try harder.
Pollitt is a typical example, who joined the Holy See halfway, but was always suppressed and distrusted by the Holy See.
No matter how high his achievements in this life are, he will stop at the position of the leader of the Night's Watch.
This is not bad, once the Holy See encounters some thankless task, it will definitely be thrown to him, as if it were the assassination of Grace this time.
To put it cruelly, he Pollit is like a night pot, taking it when it is useful, and throwing it away far away when it is useless.
