Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The high-level officials of the Holy Court, who arrived at the banquet hall first, all got a message.

The new bishop of Reims, Nock Lane, the kingdom of France, actually released the doves of His Majesty the Pope.

When His Majesty the Pope summoned him, he didn't even show up!

You know, as early as when Nock Lane arrived outside the Holy Court in the carriage of the inn,

Someone sent the news back to the upper echelons of the Holy Court.

Many people want to meet this person who is favored by the archbishop and His Majesty the Pope at the same time,

How extraordinary is the young man who also has the inheritance of the holy spear.

But now, that's it?

Just become a district bishop, and people will float?

Don't even dare to show up when summoned by the Pope?

A lot of people gloated and waited to see Nock Lane unlucky.

Of course, there are thoughtful people who find the problem.

Knowing that Nock Lane was framed.

But who? dare to risk offending the Pope and the archbishop,

Set a young man.

It looks like it's a young man named Nock, but in fact,

It's a loss of face for the current pope and the future pope!

Of course, there are also people who are worried.

Ignoring the cynicism of others, Joseph came to the banquet hall in advance for a small half a day.

As a result, he didn't wait for this junior who was favored by himself, and what he waited for was indeed the junior who was accused of offending the Pope?

He was so anxious that he wanted to get up and leave, to go to the Pope to intercede.

But those elders who had been eyeing him for a long time, where would they let him go.

These elders were all cardinals who were contemporaries of Joseph.

It's just that after they stepped down from the cardinal position, they entered the presbyterian church.

Joseph, on the other hand, was relegated to the Holy Mountain as a servant of the Holy Dragon.

But this sinner who they looked down on and almost caused them to become sinners in the church.

But under the protection of the Holy Dragon, he is thriving, and although his status is low, his status is not low at all.

over the heads of these elders and elders of them,

How can they tolerate it?

This is why, when Elder Coulson learned that Nock was born in the Kingdom of Lionheart,

The reason for strenuously opposing Nock.

Because they knew that the kingdom of Lionheart had been Joseph's territory.

As the last cardinal of the Kingdom of Lionheart, all clergy of the Church from the Kingdom of Lionheart,

They can all be considered disciples of Joseph.

Except for a few traitors who betrayed Joseph and joined the disciples of others,

The rest of the disciples followed Joseph's disciples to the Duchy of Prussia!

A "remnant" from the Lionheart Kingdom, how can Coulson and others watch him ascend to the throne,

Become Joseph's right-hand man!

In particular, this "remnant" is also related to the Grand Duke of Prussia!

A disciple of the youngest son of the Grand Duke of Prussia!

Doesn't that mean that the relationship between Joseph and the Grand Duke of Prussia was completely consolidated!

The Grand Duke of Prussia is now only in his seventies, for the Grand Duke of Prussia, who is at the peak of his strength.

Seventy years old is just the prime of life.

This Grand Duke is the most iron-blooded Grand Duke of the Holy Empire, and he is also the Grand Duke who is most appreciated and trusted by the Holy Emperor.

If this person is fully supportive of Joseph or Nock Lane,

In the future, where will there be a place for these people to stand!

If they gain power, they will definitely let Joseph's power disappear.

Now that there is a great opportunity in front of them, how could they possibly let Joseph destroy it.

So, a group of people shamelessly pretended to catch up with Joseph,

Deadlifted Joseph and didn't let him go.

Although Joseph was in a hurry, he did not dare to turn his face with this group of hypocrites on such an occasion.

Whoever let those present occupy almost half of the high-level of the Holy Court.

In addition to being on duty, there are also master seniors who guard the forbidden land,

Other high-level officials who were available attended the banquet with great face.

After all, this is the last banquet held during the reign of His Majesty the current Pope.

At the same time, it is also a banquet for the rise of a new star.

The new cardinals will be chosen from among those who are at today's feast.

As long as people don't die, they will definitely be able to become important members of the Holy Court Presbyterian Church or other institutions in the future.

Although the people present are themselves bigwigs, their descendants are not.

Who dares to guarantee that their future generations will not come to people's doors?

can be a cardinal, and he will definitely be a big man in the future.

Unless they are all as unlucky as Joseph......

No, Joseph is in a somewhat special position now.

If he dares to use the name of the person behind him, except for one or two big guys with excellent backgrounds,

Others really didn't dare to turn their faces directly with him.

Behind them, there is an ancestor!

Just when everyone had their own thoughts, waiting to see the excitement.

The Pope and the Archbishop, with a group of regional bishops who had been elected, slowly walked into the banquet hall.

Looking at the big guys sitting behind the long dining tables,

This group of bishops, who have just come out of the excitement of a one-on-one meeting with the Pope,

Suddenly he became trembling.

Being watched by so many big guys, I can't help but be nervous.

Even if he becomes a cardinal and becomes a cardinal under one person and above ten thousand in the eyes of others,

In front of this group of bigwigs, they are also juniors and subordinates.

"Okay, don't be too nervous, you are all pillars of the church, and these are your predecessors.

Maybe in the future, you will take their place, and sit here,

Look at the young people who have taken your place. ”

The Pope walked over to the throne left for him and sat down directly.

Then he stretched out his hand to the restrained bishop of the region and said, "Sit down, sit with the old man."

The next time you come back to sit down and dine, the old man won't be there.

So, don't be restrained, just have a light meal with the old man, there's nothing to be nervous about.

By the way, after a while, I will get familiar with all the seniors. Good for you young people. ”

It turned out that dining was nothing more than a gimmick.

The real purpose is to have free time after meals, so that these young people who are optimistic,

Build a good relationship with the bigwigs of the Holy Court.

If you have a background, find the big guy behind you to contact your feelings.

If you have no background, hurry up and find a big guy to hug your thighs!

That's the real purpose of this feast.

If you want to win the selection, how can you do it without the support of the big guys.

Under the Pope's order, this group of foreign local bishops finally calmly found a place to sit down.

Although they all want to sit in the position closest to the Pope,

But no one dared to fight.

The archbishop also saw the thoughts of this group of people and arranged it directly himself.

Richelieu was flattered and sat down to the left of the Pope,

And the Pope's right hand is the archbishop sitting.

The Pope's eyelids couldn't help but jump as he looked at the vacant spot on the other side of the long table.

It seems that someone deliberately did not make his old man feel better.

Knowing that Nock Lane didn't appear, he also prepared Nok's position.

But the Pope can't talk about it, he just wants the banquet to start directly and cover it up.

But some people didn't want to make the pope happy, so they didn't wait for the pope to announce the start of the banquet.

He couldn't wait to jump out and say loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that among those summoned today is a man named Nock Lane,

He dared to despise you, Your Majesty, and ignored your summons, and did not appear between the meetings. Is there such a thing? ”

"Wow!"

This man's words caused an uproar in the audience.

After all, not every big guy has to pay attention to Nock Lane.

Even many bigwigs, who have been practicing all year round, have never heard of this name at all.

Hearing this man's words, he was naturally shocked.

"What kind of person is this Nock Lane, so daring!"

"He's a candidate in this election? If so, deprive him of his qualifications and ask him again! ”

"Where is this man? What are the knights of the Holy Court doing to eat, and they are not going to arrest people quickly,

Waiting for His Majesty the Pope's fate! ”

In the crowd, indignant shouts rang out.

There are those who sincerely hold grievances for the Pope.

There are also those who take the opportunity to fall into the well, yin and yang weird.

The Pope watched the performance of the group, and the hands placed under the table trembled with anger.

He really wanted to release a light forbidden spell and blast these guys to death.

"Nonsense! Nock Lane's kid was obviously a good boy, but he was deliberately framed.

If the old man knew who had kidnapped him and hid him, and prevented him from participating in the audience,

I will let him live day and night, old man, without peace! ”

Joseph stood up angrily and yelled at the group of fallen guys.

"Yo, it looks like someone is trying to shield a fanatic who despises His Majesty the Pope!"

"No wonder you dare to ignore the Pope's summons, it turns out that there is someone behind it!"

"But, Joseph, how did you, a subordinate who works as a cleaner on the Holy Mountain, get here?

This is a banquet for the high-level of the Holy Court, and you deserve to participate in it? Don't forget, you're still a sinner,

Atonement on the Holy Mountain! Who told you to leave the Holy Mountain!

Do you still have His Majesty the Pope in your eyes, whether there is a Holy Tribunal, whether there is a Church! ”

The person who spoke was a senior who was older than Joseph and the others.

Even a little older than Pope Marcus Carttier. (Note 1)

When Joseph saw the old man, his expression was a little angry, and his face was full of disbelief.

Seeing this, the old man immediately slapped the table in displeasure.

"Bang!"

"What! Joseph, what is your attitude, are you dissatisfied with the old man?

The old man's judgment on you is fair and just! Why are you not convinced? ”

Joseph looked at the venue where no one dared to help, and sneered.

"Hehe, Senior Cross, you are a retired former judge who is not good to stay in a nursing home to recuperate.

Instead, they are yelling at me here, where do you get your right?

As for the judgment you mentioned, where do you see that I am not convinced?

If I don't accept it, I can stay in the Holy Mountain for nearly twenty years?

So much so that cats and dogs dare to slap the table with me?

Didn't you ask me in what capacity I am here?

Then I'll tell you about the banquet I attended as an agent of my ancestors.

Help her old man see what the current juniors of the church look like.

Excuse me, is there a question?

On the contrary, I would like to ask you, why do you, a retired and unemployed pensioner, attend a high-level meeting of the church?

Could it be that the seniors of the nursing home entrusted you to attend on behalf of the nursing home?

Instead of them, whip us juniors?

Then you can't favor one over the other and only whip this sinner!

How can this sinner deserve your scourging!

Why don't you whip the others? Let them listen to the teachings of the seniors in the nursing home?

Elder Coulson, for example, and Bishop Arke Bunos, both of them need your lash.

After all, those who dare to talk back to His Majesty the Pope and rob His Majesty the Pope's words,

There aren't many of us in the Holy Court! ”

"Note 1: I forgot if I had the name of the Pope written in front of me. If there is, then this one prevails.

If not, this is the case."
