Looking at the disappeared Bill and the others, Nock and the others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's a holy level!

Although I don't know how powerful the two strange muskets in Nock's hand are,

But I don't think it's a saint-level opponent!

can scare the other party away, probably because the other party knows Nock's name.

After all, Nock's reputation is also famous in France.

Those feats were something that even the Holy Court could not ignore.

Killing such a meritorious man, even the dragon knight can't be held responsible!

"Quick, pack your things, let's get out of here!"

Nock came back to his senses and directly canceled the light house, prompting several people to prepare to leave.

"What's wrong?"

Richelieu and Roger Feldt looked puzzled.

Instead, it was Finet, who slung his bow and arrows on his back, and bent down to pick up the unconscious Rod.

Nock picked up Rod's weapon, and then rummaged through Forrest Gump's body.

Sure enough, I found some hot gold coins from him.

"Don't ask so much, leave me first and explain slowly. Trust me, I'm a Gold Adventurer! ”

Hiss!

Finet gasped and looked at Nock with sparkling eyes.

Richelieu and Roger Fett, although they are unclear about the content of gold-level adventurers,

But it is also known that there are only six gold-level adventurers in the kingdom now. (Recently made the move up one place.) ）

So, they brought their belongings with them.

Nock ran over again and threw the water bladder and the gold coins he had found into his blanket.

Packed into a bag, he hurriedly left the col with a few people.

Shortly after they left, a large black shadow touched the col.

Moo!

The roar of disappointment and anger could be heard even by Nock and the others who ran a few kilometers away.

"Stop! Just rest here, don't light the fire. Everyone, squeeze in. ”

"Finnet, bring Rod here, I'll treat him and protect his life.

I'll heal his injuries in the next city. ”

"Can you heal him?"

Both Finet and Richelieu looked at Nock in surprise.

The light in the woods wasn't enough for them to see Nock's expression.

Nock replied, of course, "Yes." It's just that if I perform 'Holy Light Redemption', there will be sequelae.

That's why I hired Finet and Rhodes to protect me.

Because I was too seriously injured, and I performed the 'Holy Light Redemption', and I was devoured by the sequelae, and I couldn't move.

But I don't know when the sequelae will disappear, but it's usually about two or three days.

Now in the wild, I don't dare to do it, otherwise you will have one more burden.

When we get to the city, it's a big deal that we stay a few more days, anyway, we're abandoned now. ”

As soon as Nock heard this, Richelieu was a little gloomy.

He took the word in disappointment,

"yes. I thought I would be able to make a career out of it.

Unexpectedly, it was just a pawn for the top to save face.

When Mr. Rhodes' wounds are healed, let's go back.

No, maybe, the church in the royal capital won't be able to accommodate me.

After all, when the news of being eliminated by the Holy Court comes back,

Pelos will definitely get me in trouble.

Bishop Lane, I wonder if Reims Cathedral can accommodate me and the others? ”

Richelieu's words surprised Nock.

"Richelieu, you just accepted your fate? Don't you want to fight for the cardinal position? ”

Nock's words made Richelieu feel congested.

"Fight? What to fight for? Everyone has said that the candidate has been decided,

Our selection of these places is just a formality.

Rather than be embarrassed, it is better to abstain outright. lest you be troubled by the new cardinal in the future. ”

Nock was furious when he heard Richelieu's spineless words.

"Richelieu! From the moment you can protect me with your body, I recognize you as a friend.

I have something to say, don't vomit or be unhappy, if you think I speak ugly, you can interrupt me later.

I don't advise you either, anyway, my Reims Cathedral is short of people, you are willing to come,

I leave the management of the church to you. However, working for me, who is also a bishop,

Are you really willing?

You are a qualified candidate.

The decision of the Presbyterian Church is not final.

Above the Council of Elders, there is His Majesty the Pope.

They want to go through the form, and let them go!

As long as we have the strength, we can make everything perfect and make them impeccable.

What reason do they have to knock you out!

Give the position to the person who is predetermined! ”

Nock's words made Richelieu feel like he was suddenly opened.

But he still hesitated: "This ...... Is it possible? After all, people are predetermined, and they want to do something.

How do we outfight others? ”

Nock encouraged, "Why not? As long as you behave better than the person who is predetermined,

Is the Presbyterian Church capable of choosing a prescribable person as a cardinal despite public opinion?

Think about it, the red robe is added, and from then on he will become a cardinal and return to the royal capital,

The thrill of pinching Pelos, don't you want? ”

Nock's brainwashing caught Richelieu off guard, and he replied instinctively: "Yes! ”

"That's right! There is still some time before the day when all the candidates arrive at the Holy Tribunal.

We can think of countermeasures on the road. The candidate who is selected must be one of these candidates.

We can spread the word that someone has been ordained and wait for it to reach the Holy Court.

The Council of Elders still dares to blatantly shield the internal staff?

Moreover, it is the cardinal of our Kingdom of France who has been chosen, and if we can have other regional bishops in the United Kingdom,

Together, the Holy See cannot ignore the wishes of the bishops of the kingdom. ”

"How can this be done, I don't have a good reputation in the kingdom.

On the contrary, because I had opposed the former queen, I was not only demoted from my official position, but I was almost discredited by her. ”

Richelieu looked ashamed, but unfortunately Nock couldn't see it.

Nock continued to brainwash and said: "What's this, a good reputation is all brushed up." Like me,

What you hear in the royal capital is just my good name?

Those things where I was an adventurer, who beat adventurers, and even suppressed the nobles who didn't deal with me,

You haven't heard of it, have you? ”

As soon as Nock's words came out, Richelieu knew that Nock Lane really regarded him as a friend.

Otherwise, how can such a secret thing be taken out.

Finnet was also taken aback, and the previous thing was okay to say, although he heard it,

But he is not a member of the church, and even if he says it, no one will believe it, and he will cause trouble for himself.

Bishop Lane and Bishop Richelieu do not avoid themselves, and there is nothing.

But now, if these things spread in Reims, it would be the biggest blow to Father Lane.

That's not what he can hear!

Could it be that Bishop Lane wants to kill him?

But that's not right!

If the bishop wants to kill him, why save him?

With this uneasiness in mind, Finet continued to listen to the conversation between Nock and Richelieu.

"It's just a reputation, we can brush it on the road, and by the way, we can brush up on the churches along the way.

Then pick some regional priests and bishops who have little hope and make a promise.

As long as you become a virtual host, you can transfer them to the royal capital.

Or arrange to work in a bustling city.

After all, if you're a cardinal, you're going to need a team too, right?

I reckon you're worse off than I am right now. My Reims Cathedral still has dozens of students who have been trained by myself.

For three or five years, I had at least a little bit of a nun priest running errands.

Conduct day-to-day affairs for the church.

What about you? Who else besides Roger Fett? And Roger Feld doesn't have a church ministry yet, right? ”

Nock's words immediately embarrassed Richelieu.

Seeing that Richelieu did not speak, Nock continued.

"You see, we can take advantage of this opportunity to go south, lobby all the way, and meet a situation better than ours,

We will make friends directly, and if we encounter a bad situation, we can promise to poach first.

Even if you don't become a cardinal, I still have my Reims Cathedral as a backup to install some unsatisfactory bishops

Priest or something, it's still okay.

Not only in the territory of the Kingdom of Fran, but also in several principalities and kingdoms along the way, we can all start.

Dig up those who are not doing well under our hands.

When the time comes, you will become a cardinal, and we will divide the hands, and you will cover me in the king's capital.

I echo you in the city of Reims.

The two of us don't talk about the power of the church that controls the kingdom of Fran,

But it can also make churches in other regions dare not ignore us.

Even, those who don't obey you, the two of us can unite to subdue him and divide him.

Arrange for bishops who obey us and listen to us.

When we control the power of the church in the entire Kingdom of Fran, we can completely annex the power of the adjacent principality.

The two of us are still very young, you are not forty years old this year, are you? If you do a good job,

Maybe when His Majesty the Pope abdicates, you can fight for it.

When the time comes, you will be the pope, and I will take your place as a cardinal,

It's beautiful to think about. ”

"Gollum!"

Richelieu and Roger Fitt swallowed, frightened by Nock's drawing.

Even Finet felt that he should not live until dawn.

Hearing this big secret, where can he leave alive!

Nock didn't know that in order to encourage Richelieu to run, he frightened the people around him with big words.

After all, he must go to the Holy Court to report on his work.

But from Bill's dragon knight's tone, it was not difficult to hear,

He was being targeted in the Holy Court.

Only his own words are somewhat isolated and helpless, and it is difficult to support alone.

It just so happens that this Richelieu seems to be able to make deep friends, after all, not everyone can stand up in a dangerous moment.

I didn't see Gandalf not even help Forrest Gump when he was in danger.

Otherwise, with his ability, he will help Forrest Gump Zuo replenish the shield, and Forrest Gump Zuo will maintain the Fighting Spirit Armor to protect Gandalf,

The two of them can survive unharmed.

Nock felt that it would be a shame that Richelieu did not run.

goes, even if he loses, he can have a helper.

But if you really help Richelieu run for the position of cardinal.

That Nok also has a backer.

In the realm of the Kingdom of France, there must be no one from the church who can trouble him.

Unless the person who is looking for trouble with Nock is Richelieu.

The combination of a cardinal and a regional host, even the king of France did not dare to ignore it.

Moreover, Nock always felt that this trip to the Holy Court to report was boring.

With the merits he has shown, it would be more than wrong to give him a bishop of Reims Cathedral.

It's entirely possible to wait for the new cardinal to take office and let the cardinal talk to Nock.

It's also a matter of getting people for the new cardinal.

After all, Nock is a newcomer, lacking in background, and is in urgent need of backers.

But summoning Nock to the Holy Court is intriguing.

I've never heard of appointing a regional host that requires the Pope to intervene in person.

Not a cardinal.

Nock will not be arrogant enough to think that he can ascend to the sky in one step and make an exception to become a cardinal.

My qualifications are too low. Even if there is some credit, it can't make up for the hard wounds of qualifications.

But just because Nock doesn't want it now doesn't mean he doesn't want to do it in the future.

What he said to Richelieu was actually a portrayal of his inner ambition!
