Chapter 0356: Strange Choice
Rasti's reaction stunned Nock.
You know, in addition to yourself, even Bill, who often teases Rasti,
None of them can be so close to Rasti.
Not to mention taking the initiative to "throw yourself into your arms"!
Fiona looked at Rustie, who pounced on her and hugged her legs to "fly".
I confirmed my previous guess even more.
From the moment she saw the child, Fiona had smelled a familiar smell from the child.
Coupled with the child's sudden enthusiasm,
It's clear that she thinks she's an old guy.
Looks like Nock Lane is in luck!
Adopting a child is all about that kind of old guy.
Although the old guy always said that he didn't care about the world,
At every turn, he "values harmony", and says "not to touch cause and effect" all day long.
But the little thing in front of him can completely prove that the old thing has broken the vows.
Judging from the aura on this little guy's body, it is clear that he was raised by that old thing!
It's no wonder that the little thing survives on a desert island until he meets Nock Lane.
Perhaps, the old thing borrowed Nock's hand to send the little thing away.
This old thing owes Nock a great favor, and he doesn't say anything.
It seems that he has a chance, and he has to find out the old guy and settle the score.
Calculate her juniors, and still want to give benefits, how can there be such a good thing!
"Your name is Rasti? You call the ancestor, and the ancestor will take you flying. ”
Fiona picked up Rasti and teased her on her lap.
Nock looked at Rasti, who was sitting on Fiona's lap and was amused to laugh,
I was so shocked that my jaw was about to drop.
Several others were also shocked by Fiona's interaction with Lust.
Turonev carefully poked Archbishop Doug in the waist and asked in a low voice.
"Isn't it rumored that Lord Fiona doesn't like children? What's going on?"
Although the girl's face was doting and kind, the people in the hall who saw this scene did not feel disobedient.
Even Joseph was excited to tease Rasti.
This is his granddaughter! Not pro though! But my son said it, it's no different from a kiss!
Archbishop Doug looked blankly at the picture of his grandfather and granddaughter teasing his great-granddaughter,
Stupidly replied to Turonev: "How do I know. Maybe it's love house and black?
After all, Lord Fiona has a lot of affection for Nock Lane. ”
Turonev felt justified and couldn't help but nod.
The two of them were like this, watching the interaction of the three people on the opposite side.
Although the Pope was also curious about Fiona's doting on Rasti, he did not forget the day's business.
He set aside Nokla, who could see God, and whispered to Nock.
"Bishop Nock Lane, the Church has investigated your history from birth to the present.
In addition to the period of time when you disappeared after embarking in Venice, your experiences and exploits,
The church already knows everything.
Therefore, the church is very satisfied with what you have done so far.
Affirm your merits.
And, because of your special origin, the peculiarity of the Convent of Our Lady, and the persistence of three generations of your leaders,
Saved the last face of the church.
Even, if you hadn't triggered the Jihad Covenant, the Church wouldn't even know,
In the Kingdom of Lionheart, there are still you who are struggling to sustain until now.
The church has taught the natural sect a hard lesson because of the holy war contract on you.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation on the mainland is not good now, it is not suitable for the church to make a big move,
The church has long since destroyed the natural sects.
But the credit is also given to you.
Therefore, I have decided to give you the reward for the merits of the first two generations of the monastery.
Of course, the posthumous canonization of Sister Merry and Father John Lane will not be less than the Church.
You don't have to worry about that. ”
"What I want to tell you now is that the merits you have accumulated are sufficiency for a cardinal.
But you also know that it's one thing that you're too young and underqualified.
What's more, you have no experience in governing one side.
Suddenly putting you in that position is a curse rather than a blessing.
Therefore, we want you to immerse yourself in systematic learning for a few years.
Fill in the gaps where you have no one to teach, and pass on some of the lineages along the way.
Plan for the future.
But now there are two options for you.
One option, like other people who inherit the priesthood with a letter of recommendation,
Go to the church's theological school for three years.
Rest assured, the seminary is in the Holy City. While you study at the seminary, you can freely enter and leave the Holy Court.
The history library of the Holy Court is open to you on two floors, and you can browse the ancient books in it at will.
Even, we will arrange for a senior to accept you as a disciple and teach you personally.
As an alternative, Arbitrator Turonev wants you to join the Inquisition and carry on the legacy of the Holy Lance.
You've probably noticed that while you can use the Holy Lance, you can't use its true power.
Its method of combat and how it was used are all in the Inquisition's database.
This is something that no one other than the Inquisition, even the Pope, has the right to read.
However, inheriting the legacy of the Holy Lance means that you will join the Inquisition,
Inherit a position that has been vacant for a hundred years.
Once you inherit that position, the normal path of promotion in the church will not be open to you.
On the surface, you are likely to be in the position of Bishop of Reims City for the rest of your life.
And I, after all, want you to choose the first one, because, I think you will be thirty or fifty years from now,
Take my place and lead the church back to its glory. ”
Nock looked at the Pope in surprise, unable to believe that the other party had given such a pie.
Pope! That's an important part of his ambition!
Now it's at your fingertips?
But Nock quickly calmed down.
Wrong! He didn't want such a pope position.
According to the Pope's will, I accepted his conditions, so even if I become the Pope in the future,
It's just a thug or even a puppet of this group of old things.
Whatever you want to do, you must do it without going against the will of the church.
But what Nock wants to achieve is something that the church cannot accept.
What Nock wants is to overthrow the current church system and override the supreme power of the pope.
and not the position of the pope that is subject to man.
Thinking of this, Nock looked at each other and lost interest in the Pope's first choice.
On the contrary, the position of the Inquisition, which interested Nock.
For he had just heard the Pope say that he had taken the position of the Inquisition,
It doesn't affect the status of the bishop of the cathedral of Reims.
So, he asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what position are you talking about in the Inquisition?"
Can you talk about it? ”
Hearing Nock's question, the Pope's eyelids suddenly jumped.
I was very uneasy: Damn, this kid shouldn't be uninterested in the pope's position, right?
He glanced at Turonev not far away, and saw the old boy's smiling face.
Apparently, the old boy heard what Nock was up to.
However, as long as Nock Lane doesn't make a plan, he Marcus still has a chance.
Anyway, they said before, let him Marcus play, but the choice is up to Nock Lane.
When he Marcus finished playing, Turonev would open his mouth as a lobbyist.
But if Nock Lane made a choice before Turonev spoke,
Turonev would give up automatically, respecting Nok's choice.
After all, which is more important than the position of the pope or the shady position,
Turonev also has a clear telling.
If it weren't for the fact that the position was too important, it would have to be the heir of the Holy Lance.
The Inquisition was afraid of breaking the legacy, and Turonev didn't want Nock to choose this position.
Even if its authority is great, it is big enough to control the life and death of the majority of the church.
But Turonev still felt that the papal position was not as real as that.
Therefore, his attitude towards Nock's joining the Inquisition is ambiguous.
Nock chose to join, and he naturally welcomed it.
Nock didn't join, and he wasn't upset.
Hearing Nock's questioning, he knew that the Pope did not know the specific position of that position.
After all, that position was a secret to the church.
At most, the Pope has only heard the name of that office.
So he got up and walked over to the two of them, and said, "Bishop Lane,
You ask His Holiness the Pope this question to get no information.
If you are really interested in that position, you can visit our court in a moment.
Originally, this position could only be understood by those who joined the Inquisition.
Even His Holiness the Pope has no right to know the specific powers and contents of this office.
But as the heir of the Holy Lance, this position was originally to serve the Holy Lance lineage.
If you want to know, I can explain a little less important information for you separately.
However, more specific information will not be known until you have joined the Tribunal.
Because even I only know a rough idea. ”
Nock looked at Turonev suspiciously, and then at the nodding Pope,
The stomach was lost in thought.
It seems that the two options, given by the Pope, are a little more favorable.
But Nock was very resistant to the Pope's conditions.
On the contrary, he was more interested in the mysterious position of the Inquisition.
If, as he guessed,
Maybe he'll be able to ......
So, he looked up at the two of them and smiled, "What if I say, I want both?" ”
Nock's words made both Pope Marcus and Arbitrator Turonev frown.
"Young man, it's not good to be too greedy." The Pope said displeased.
Turonev also advised: "Yes, there has never been a pope who has also held the position of the Inquisition.
The Inquisition oversees the entire church.
In a way, the Pope is also under the purview of our Inquisition. ”
Nock smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You two misunderstood me. ”
Seeing the two of them looking at him curiously, Nock explained, "I mean, I joined the Inquisition first,
Exercise for a while. By the time I am qualified and capable of sitting in that position.
I then left the Inquisition and took over as Pope. Anyway, the archbishop hasn't become pope yet.
Even if you train me to take over, it will take decades at the earliest.
In a few decades, I could have exercised myself in the Inquisition,
Even, it is possible to find a successor for yourself.
You don't want the Holy Spear to be broken, do you? ”
Nock settled on the two of them and proposed a plan that would embarrass them.
"This ......"
Both the Pope and the Presiding Judge were in a dilemma.
This has never been the case in the history of the church.
Although the Inquisition belonged to the institutions of the Church.
But it has always operated independently of the church system.
The Inquisition's funds and estate, even in addition to their own high-tops.
Even the Pope, the boss on the surface, doesn't know.
Their operations, personnel appointments, will not be informed to the Pope at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the Pope would be able to find someone when he needed to deal with traitors,
The Inquisition would not have released anyone in the open at all.
The presiding arbitrator and the presiding judge are basically used to connect with the Holy Court.
A real bigwig, such as the director of the Inquisition, who is known as the [Dark Emperor],
Even the Pope himself does not know who is in charge!
In such a situation, Nock Lane actually proposed to take a position in the court first,
Succeeding to the Pope in the future?
It's a joke!
Norlane, I don't know how powerful the Inquisition really is!
