0339 Nock Lane is Missing?
The sound of hurried footsteps resounded in the Papal Palace, causing many people in the Papal Palace to have their minds.
The mueintors hurried towards the papal palace.
Because His Majesty the Pope, who is at this time summoning the sixth bishop from abroad,
He is also one of the candidates for the post of cardinal.
Originally, the muezzins thought that no matter how much the young Bishop Nock Lane was messing around, he should have stepped on the point.
But until the summons began, when half of the number had passed, he did not wait for the young bishop.
He didn't dare to hide it anymore and hurriedly reported it in advance.
Otherwise, if he doesn't show up when the Pope calls Nock Lane's name, it will really be irreparable.
Report it now, although he will be punished, but at least save the face of His Majesty the Pope.
Except for the upper echelons of the Holy See, no one knew that there was a non-candidate among the candidates for the audience.
Soon, the muezzin, who had received permission, entered the inner sanctum and met with Archbishop Doug.
After Archbishop Doug learned that Nock Lane was actually missing, he hurriedly sent people to search for him in the Holy Court.
Since the inn has sent people, they must be in the Holy Court.
It's just that I don't know which high-level person made a move to frame Nock Lane at such a time.
But the archbishop felt that the other party was not trying to embarrass Nock Lane, but deliberately wanted to slap the pope in the face.
Whoever made His Majesty the Pope prepare to abdicate, someone can't sit still and does not intend to let him, the archbishop, succeed to the throne smoothly.
After all, if the Pope makes a mistake before abdicating, he will be dizzy and unclear.
So as the heir handpicked by the Pope, is there also a problem, and the Pope does not know anyone?
Thinking of this, Archbishop Boros Doug's heart became heavy.
He took advantage of the gap between the Pope's meeting with the current candidates and walked to the Pope's side.
Told the Pope that Nock might have been deliberately taken away.
After hearing this, the Pope was silent for a while, and a hint of determination flashed in his wise eyes.
"Send someone to find it, and summon it as originally planned. If he can't catch up at the end,
That can only mean that neither I nor he are lucky enough to shoulder the fate of the church in the future.
Luck is also a kind of strength. If your skills are not as good as others, then admit it!
With you, as long as he is strong enough, he is not afraid to make mistakes. I'm afraid that he made a mistake but didn't know how to change it!
Now that we have chosen him, his future path is far more dangerous than it is today.
Who can protect him?
What we need is a leader who can bring the church back to the top.
And not an heir who needs our protection. ”
When the Pope had made up his mind, he had the next audience announced.
The Archbishop quietly departed to find the missing Nock Lane himself.
He believed that Nock Lane had just been taken away or trapped.
The careerists of the Holy Court are not stupid enough to kill people directly.
The teacher is unknown, and the seniors of the Holy Mountain and the people of the Inquisition will definitely go berserk.
But if Nock Lane is convicted of contempt for the Pope and the Holy See,
I'm afraid no one can save Nock Lane.
Be sure to find Nock Lane before all the candidates have finished their interviews.
Although the Pope said on the surface that he didn't care, the archbishop knew that the Pope would definitely find a way to stall for time.
For example, prolonging the duration of the audience and delaying the interval between the summonses.
After all, the old man is old, and he is tired of meeting so many people, and he needs to rest and rest.
But it won't be too long.
Because the scheduled dinner time was at two o'clock in the afternoon.
It's half past eleven in the morning.
It stands to reason that around one o'clock, the meeting will be over, and then arrange for someone to go to the banquet hall.
Prepare your meal.
Even if the Pope procrastinates, if he drags on to two o'clock, it is the limit.
So, he had to find out Nock Lane in two and a half hours.
But the Holy Court was so big, if Nock Lane was trapped, he might not be able to find people right away.
To do this, he had to go to someone for help.
After the archbishop went out, he rushed directly to the location of a certain institution.
"Huh? Archbishop Doug, how did you have time to visit our Inquisition? Is there a mission? ”
Judge Turonev looked at the archbishop suspiciously, and asked:
"Shouldn't you be accompanying His Majesty the Pope to meet those outsiders now?
Or, as rumored, the Council of Elders has already decided on a candidate, and those who come from outside are just going through the motions. ”
In the face of Turonev's ridicule, Archbishop Doug was not in the mood to joke with him.
The archbishop said solemnly: "Presiding judge, I don't have time to laugh with you.
You now immediately gather all the available personnel in the Inquisition and dispatch them all on an urgent mission. ”
"Urgent mission? Do you want all the idle personnel to go out? It's so big! It was the cardinal who betrayed,
There are still foreign enemies attacking the Holy Court! ”
Turonev was shocked and hurriedly asked.
The archbishop shook his head and said, "Neither. It's Nock Lane. After entering the Holy Court, he mysteriously disappeared.
But he was scheduled to meet His Majesty the Pope after the candidate, if he could not show up in time.
There is no escaping the charge of contempt of the Pope. Didn't you say that the Inquisition wanted to recover the Holy Lance?
If his charges are confirmed, I am afraid that you will personally arrest him and bring him back for trial.
Instead of bringing him back to inherit the legacy!
If the Holy Spear falls into the hands of those who want to exterminate the Holy Lance, weigh the consequences. ”
The archbishop's words made Turgenev angry.
"Good fellows! Someone dares to make a small move under the nose of His Majesty, this is when we don't exist! ”
"Archbishop, you say, you have found out who is behind the scenes, and thrown him into the prison of the Inquisition.
Or just click people! ”
The archbishop rolled his eyes and scolded, "Is it time to find someone to settle accounts!"
The most important thing now is to find out Nock Lane and let him meet His Majesty on time! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, I'll do it! Find someone and leave it to our inquisition.
No matter where he is hiding, he will never escape the palm of our inquisition! ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, go and do it, I'll go first, see if I can meet him in the Holy Court."
Archbishop Doug impatiently left the Inquisition.
Turonev hastily gathered his men and sent them to find Nock Lane.
But they had all forgotten one thing, none of them had ever seen Nock Lane, not even a portrait.
The only people who have seen the portrait of Nock are the upper echelons of the Holy Court.
So much so that the members of this group of inquisitions, according to Turonev's description, went to find people.
A handsome foreign bishop in his early twenties, with black hair.
The portrait of Nock seen by the upper echelons of the Holy See was the same as before Nock became the bishop of Reims Cathedral.
Now Nock has returned to his original appearance, with silver hair and amber eyes,
And because Nock was separated from Richelieu and the others, he ran to act as bait.
I didn't have any robes around me.
His robe was given to Rhodes for safekeeping.
After falling into the sea, he has been wearing a knight's uniform.
Later, I bought knight's clothes at the port that were easy to move.
When Nock came to the Holy Court, he was also wearing a knight's uniform.
Therefore, if Nock himself does not say it, people who do not know him will only think that he is a young knight,
And not think that the young bishop.
After all, what bishop dares not to wear a robe when he meets the Pope!
It's not that Nock doesn't want to wear it.
But he won't be able to find it for a while.
Rhodes mysteriously disappeared, and the three Richelieu were suspected of betrayal.
Where did Nock dare to show his face in front of Roger Feld and Finet.
The robes were not sold, so they could only be ordered by professional tailors with the identity certificates of the clergy.
Ordinary tailors are not qualified to make robes.
So, even if Nock wanted to buy a new robe, he couldn't do it.
What's more, his robe is still a church-specific robe with gold on a black background.
It is an extremely rare robe of God.
If he was wearing that kind of robe today, where would he still be deceived.
After all, seeing people who can wear this kind of robe, other clergy have already come over and sell it.
It is precisely because Nock is wearing a knight's uniform that he will be easily deceived without anyone finding out.
Who would pay attention to the whereabouts of a knight in today's pomp and circumstance.
Just as the Archbishop mobilized his men to find Nock.
Nock helped Fiona, who had "leg problems", and walked in the square of the Holy Court.
Circling around, the two of them walked from the remote temple to the square in front of the Holy Court.
It stands to reason that the two of them are not wrong.
If they arrive three hours early, they can still see the crowds.
But after the opening ceremony, the building was empty.
Tomorrow, the candidates will set off for a selection test in the small towns around the Holy City.
If you want to see the excitement again, you will have to wait a week.
So, the people had long since dispersed, and the staff of the Holy Court were busy with the afternoon dinner.
In the square, naturally, there was no one.
Occasionally, the two saw someone hurrying by in the distance, and they couldn't shout before they could shout, and the person had already disappeared.
Nock didn't know that those people who were in a hurry were looking for him.
And those who are in a hurry don't know that the person they are looking for is right under their noses.
The person who asked their boss to tell them that they were looking for was a young, brunette bishop.
They all stared at the black-haired young man in the god robe, who had to be handsome.
Who has the kung fu to take care of a young knight and an old woman.
It is estimated that even if someone occasionally pays attention to their eyes because of their hair color,
I will only think that it is a believer's mother, son or grandchild who has participated in the event and has not left.
Although the sanctuary is a sanctuary, the front court is completely open.
Because there are statues of the Holy Lord in the square, as well as monuments to the merits of the popes of the past.
These are all buildings that believers like to admire.
As long as believers do not enter the important places behind the Holy Court,
Usually no one cares about them.
And the important places behind the Holy Court have guards on duty.
Believers will not be allowed to run in.
Therefore, the two people who ran from the back of the Holy Court to the front were not hindered at all.
And when the two of them left the rear of the Holy Court, the people who happened to be on duty were all transferred.
No one noticed that the two of them came out from behind.
Nock wasn't in a hurry now, for some reason, he saw the old lady,
There was a kind of intimate feeling, as if I had seen the feeling of old Sister Merry.
As a result, he almost forgot that he was going to meet the Pope.
accompanied the old lady all the way, talking and laughing.
Fiona, on the other hand, found a new toy because of Nock's company, and she had long forgotten to go to see the excitement.
Instead, he asked about Nock's past and his preferences.
It seems that he is really an ordinary old man who talks a lot.
In this way, the two of them got carried away and regarded the holy court as a garden,
Feel free to go around inside.
Even if someone in the back sees the two of them and wants to ask something,
was also taken away by Fiona with her ability, so that others ignored the two of them.
She's only talking now, and she doesn't want to be disturbed.
