Seeing the paladin dragging the messenger away, the pope above turned blue with anger.

Today is a shame and a big hair, and it is even worse than yesterday.

Yesterday, at least half of the high-level officials of the Holy Court had joined forces to embarrass him.

But today, it was a small person who slapped his face in public.

Still in front of Fiona.

"Hehe, Marcus, that's your guarantee? The little friend I only recognized yesterday,

A rare junior in the Holy Court. In my opinion, his mind and cultivation are more outstanding than those of the ascetic lineage.

Isn't it, someone can't tolerate him and thinks he's in the way, so they attack him again and again? ”

Fiona is not ignorant of intrigues.

On the contrary, she has lived from the founding of the Holy Court to the present, watching the ups and downs of the Holy Court, from grass to prosperity, from prosperity to decline.

What kind of characters and calculations she hasn't seen?

It didn't take long to figure out the key.

Marcus listened to Fiona's words, and also remembered the genius of the ascetic line he had met two years ago.

I have to say, that kid is really good.

But it's just good.

It may be more than enough to inherit the ascetic lineage, but if you want to be the heir of the pope, you are not qualified.

If he had been younger, he might have had a chance.

But that person is forty years old this year, and his outlook on life and right and wrong have all been determined.

As a somewhat pedantic genius, such a person is barely even a conservative successor,

If you help the church to create more brilliance!

Moreover, the candidate for Shoucheng, Marcus already has.

That was the Archbishop, Boros Doug.

This is the man he has carefully selected to maintain the status quo of the church.

Doug may not be able to develop the ability, but he is a pope candidate who can stick to the bottom line of the church.

As long as he can persevere for the church until the next generation of illustrious successors grow,

This does not necessarily mean that the church will not be able to overcome other forces again and return to its first glory.

And now, a suitable candidate has appeared in advance.

This gave Marcus hope.

If it weren't for the fact that he was going to abdicate and had already passed the same fate as Boros, he would have wanted to hold on until Nock Lane had grown up.

However, in order not to make Boros feel guilty, Marcus's abdication is already a certainty.

But as long as Marcus can hold on for thirty years, and when Nock Lane grows up,

That future is the world of their holy church!

Marcus firmly believed that Enoch Lane's talent and heart, under his teachings,

You will definitely become an outstanding pope!

He's made up his mind, as long as Nock Lane can pass his loyalty test,

He took Nock Lane as a disciple.

It just so happened that he had time to teach him after he retired.

But now, the group of careerists within the church are unwilling to jump out lonely,

Want to persecute a brilliant heir and put out the mediocrity of their choice to control the future of the church?

Don't even think about it! He, Marcus, hasn't stepped down yet!

As long as he reigns for one day, this will not happen!

Today, he is going to use thunder means to justify Nock Lane's name.

Let him protect his body, and no one dares to touch him in the open!

The exploits of John Rhine, the legacy of the Abbey of Our Lady, and the merits of Nock Lane himself!

He's done this to this young man today!

Whether he can become the heir to the papal throne or not, just by virtue of the above three points,

He, Marcus, has secured this brilliant newcomer to the church!

"Come, bring Nock Lane and the little girl he brought into the temple."

"Yes!"

A Templar was ordered to leave.

Outside the Papal Palace, Nock was bored and Lusty squatted in front of the Papal Palace,

The two of them counted the ants passing by on the ground, watching them busy back and forth, and the two couldn't help but yawn.

Nock even peeked at the paladin standing in front of the palace gate from time to time,

Thinking about whether or not to ask them for help, the Pope had forgotten to summon him from time to time.

It's not that Nock is impatient.

Rather, the messenger threw him and Lusty here, and there was no place to rest.

Now the weather is cold, not to mention the wind, and the winter sun is also on the head.

Don't look at the winter sun, it doesn't seem to be too violent, but it's the most poisonous time.

At first, it makes you feel warm and warm.

But after a long time in the sun, you will get dizzy and black eyes.

I don't know if I fainted inexplicably.

Nock himself could bear it, but Lusty couldn't stand it anymore.

Under the guise of counting ants, Nock distracted Lusty and shielded her from the sun with his own shadow.

If it had been like yesterday, no one would have seen it, and Nock would have been gone.

But there were two paladins watching the two of them at the door.

It's not to walk, it's not to break in.

Nock was annoyed.

I knew he was carrying a child, but he left them in such a place.

Nock didn't believe it, the Papal Palace was so big, and there was no place to rest and wait.

Hmph, if either the messenger deliberately corrected him, or the Pope was deliberately beating him because of yesterday's incident!

If the Pope had known that because of his subordinates' self-assertions, Nock would have hated him,

I don't know if he'll order that guy to click!

Just when Nock was impatient, he finally heard footsteps from inside the Papal Palace.

Nock didn't get up, though.

Anyway, he's been snubbed, and he's not allowed to be a little emotional?

As long as the status of the visitor is not as high as Nock, Nock is not afraid that the person who comes will give him a look.

If you have an opinion, you can hold it back for Nock!

Is it possible for someone to have a higher status than Nock?

No way! Nock is also a regional bishop, and he is also a bishop-level existence in the Holy Court.

Even if the Pope sent a bishop to summon Nock, it would only be of equal status.

Nock is not afraid of the other party.

As for the person with a high status in Binok, it must not be someone in the position of cardinal?

Let such a person be a mouthpiece, even the Pope will not have such a big face!

So, when the Templar who had come to summon Nock came to the Papal Palace,

I saw a scene that made the corners of his mouth twitch.

A dignified bishop, with a little girl, with a hair, teases ants on the ground!

"Ahem, is it Bishop Nock Lane?"

The Templar walked up to Nock and asked him in a low voice.

Hearing this, Nock glanced up at the strange knight and replied casually.

"That's right, it's me. Is there something wrong? Are we in your way? It's okay, let's get out of the way.

You go over there, let's go over there and play. ”

Seeing the confused Nock, the Templars couldn't help but laugh.

"Bishop Lane, stop playing. Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace for an audience, and you and this little girl, please come with me.

Your Majesty and your Excellency have been waiting for a while. ”

Nock saw that the Templars had made everything clear, and he didn't want to continue to lose his temper.

Otherwise, it would be contempt of the Pope's orders.

"Oh, so His Majesty has finally summoned me, come, Rasti, let's go to His Majesty the Pope."

Nokra stood up with Rasti on his feet, followed the Templars, and walked into the Papal Palace.

The first time he entered this place, Nock was attracted by the scenery in front of him, and forgot about the unhappiness that had just happened.

The interior of the Papal Palace is ornate and intricately decorated, using a large number of frescoes and sculptures.

In those elaborately painted frescoes, the story of the Bible is vividly revealed,

It's like a visual feast in front of your eyes.

The colors of the murals are bright, the figures are lifelike, and every stroke is full of artistic atmosphere.

In the gardens of the Papal Palace, planted with a wide variety of flowers and trees,

One of the most striking are those ancient cypress trees.

The paths in the garden are regularly dotted with statues and fountains, giving it a sense of tranquility and elegance.

The temples are scattered throughout the Papal Palace.

One of the most striking is the two-building basilica

As the Templars walked into the main hall.

Nock found that the interior of the hall was vast and the atmosphere was solemn.

The tall vaulted ceilings and ornate chandeliers make the whole space even more spectacular.

The walls of the main hall are hung with portraits of the popes of the past, each one full of history,

It seems to be telling a profound history.

And that's just the outer sanctum.

The three of them continued to walk forward, turning the gate of the outer temple leading to the inner hall,

Enter the inner sanctum.

The inner sanctum is magnificent, with precious carvings and porcelain to decorate the main hall.

In the center of the hall is a spacious long road.

It is covered with ornate and expensive carpets.

Nock, who is accustomed to using money to calculate the value of an item,

I think these carpets on the floor alone are worth five figures of gold coins.

Even higher.

At the end of the carpet is a staircase.

At the top of the stairs is a high platform, and on the high platform there is a throne.

Sitting on it sat an old man with a majestic and kind smile.

It was His Majesty the Pope who had a meeting yesterday.

At the bottom of the stairs, there are two stools on the left and right.

There were people sitting on it.

The two on Nock's right are a little kind.

It's someone who met yesterday but doesn't know each other well.

On the left is someone who is a little familiar, but makes Nock wonder.

The old man, Nock remembers his name as Joseph.

The sinner who destroyed the Holy Church of the Lionheart Kingdom.

But the one next to him made Nock wonder.

It was a girl about Nock's age,

But the aura emanating from her body did not match her age.

On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the old woman Fiona that Nock met yesterday.

For a while, Nock couldn't guess the identity of this girl.

Could it be Granny Fiona's junior?

Could it be that the mother-in-law likes him too much and wants to introduce the younger generations in the family to him?

Let Nock be her grandson-in-law, right?

Fiona, who accidentally peeked into Nock's inner thoughts at this time,

I felt a little embarrassed in my heart.

"This stinky boy is quite narcissistic. Fortunately, no one knew about his thoughts.

Otherwise, the old body will be a shame! ”

Fiona glared at Nock viciously, then turned her gaze to the little girl Nock was leading.

On the side, the Templars had recovered and returned to their posts.

Nock, who deserted, took Rasti and stepped forward to salute the Pope.

However, it is only the worship of the superiors within the church and the subordinates, not the prostration.

Nock's behavior made the hearts of the five bigwigs present move,

Each had different ideas and speculations.

The Pope gave Turonev a look and asked him to test Nock with words.

But Turonev pouted and refused.

Just kidding, he also wants to pull people into their Inquisition,

How could it be possible to come forward to make things difficult for Nock Lane now.

Not to mention, Fiona-sama is on the other side, and she only promised Fiona yesterday,

Responsive to Nock Lane.

Now in front of her, he is making things difficult for the junior she fancies, and he is a butt in the position of the chief arbitrator?

Turonev's indifference made the pope angry.

Fortunately, the archbishop understood the meaning of the pope's eyes.

He shouted: "Bold Nok Lane, when you see Your Majesty, you don't even give a big courtesy, you are guilty!" ”

Nock stood below, naturally taking in the eye contact between the big people above.

He looked at the archbishop who was a little kind-hearted and asked, "I don't know what to call this lord?" ”

The archbishop was slightly stunned, his expression slightly embarrassed.

He is a dignified archbishop, the heir of the pope, and there are still people in the Holy Court who don't know him!

What could be more embarrassing?

Joseph was a little anxious to see that Nock had so audacity to offend the Pope and the archbishop.

As soon as he wanted to speak, Fiona, who had been staring at him for a long time, locked him with momentum.

He even used his mental power to speak in Joseph's mind: "If you dare to say half a word,

I'll shoot you to death on the spot. When you don't have your big grandson! ”

In the face of Fiona's suppression, Joseph did not dare to act rashly.

He also figured it out.

With this old ancestor to protect him, his son will never suffer in the Holy Court.

Although he didn't understand the arrangement of the ancestor, the ancestor would not harm his son.

He's so bothered.

The other side.

Turonev smiled and relieved Archbishop Doug and said, "Bishop Lane, don't be rude,

This is Archbishop Doug and the next pope appointed by His Majesty the Pope. ”
