Fiona's words shocked Nock.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, but in the end he still didn't ask about his parents.

Obviously, the truth was in front of him, but he didn't dare to ask.

Joseph was also afraid, he never thought that he and Nock knew each other,

There will be such serious consequences.

Although he did not know the reason and the reason, the phrase "becoming an enemy of the church",

But he heard it clearly.

He believed that the Ancestor was not scaring them, but stating a fact.

It seems that he has to think about it calmly, the key to this.

Jump out of the illusion of that woman and think objectively about the stakes.

He can't put his children and granddaughters in danger!

"Alright, you can leave on your own. In the afternoon, you can do whatever you want.

During your time in the Holy Court, the Ancestor allows you to do things under the banner of the Ancestor.

If anyone dares to embarrass you, I'll send Joseph, the old boy, to be your thug. ”

Fiona finished explaining her business, not wanting to say anything more, and asked Joseph to send Nock and the two away.

Nock had no choice but to say goodbye to Fiona and follow Joseph out of the Holy Mountain.

Looking at the distant figure, Fiona muttered a little lonely with a lonely expression.

"Holy Lord, Holy Lord, did you calculate that I would go through such a thing, so you deliberately left me behind.

I thought that Joseph was an accident, but as a result, there was another one.

Could it be that the bastard really didn't die in the first place?

Are the fragments of the [Destiny Tapestry] really that magical? ”

Fiona stretched out her hand and made a gesture in front of her, and two pieces of tattered silk brocade floated in front of her.

[Destiny Tapestry] Fragments!

Fiona actually has two copies!

"I remember, there seem to be five fragments of the [Destiny Tapestry] in the treasure house of the Holy Court, right?

Shall I get it and study its secrets? ”

Fiona looked at the mysterious two fragments in front of her.

Although she has been possessing these two things all these years, she has found that she has not been able to research anything no matter how much she researches.

Except for being more familiar with the smell of things, there is nothing to be found at all.

But on both Joseph and Nock, she sensed the aura of the [Destiny Tapestry].

Even, it's still the breath after activation.

It was exactly the same as the aura of the activated [Destiny Tapestry] in her distant memories.

Even, the appearance of a woman who made her hate to the bone appeared in front of her eyes.

"You, could it be that woman's blood? If so, I don't know if I should hate or like you! ”

Fiona sat lonely on the crystal throne that Joseph had built for her, and she pulled her legs up and clasped them in her hands.

He buried his face in his knees.

The whole person (dragon) lost its spirit......

The three Nocks who left the Holy Mountain, led by Joseph,

In the cafeteria of the Holy Court, there was a lunch.

Then he went to the main hall where the guests were entertained to take a nap.

When the Pope sent to inform Nock to go to the meeting came to find him,

The three of them got up and left.

Nock had thought that Joseph would leave after sending their father and daughter to the sacred mountain.

didn't expect him to accompany their father and daughter all the time.

Although Nock didn't like this spineless guy back then,

But he won't reach out and hit the smiling man.

After all, he is also a senior, and his identity does not seem to be simple.

Especially when the jury meeting in the afternoon, Joseph single-handedly

After suppressing all the objections of the judges,

Nock's senses for Joseph were finally a little better.

In response to Joseph's request to accompany Nock on a "private visit to the microserver", Nock also agreed.

After all, Nock is a newcomer, accompanied by a master and a head snake,

It's better than him alone.

At the end of the day, he lacks people around him. And with Rasti himself.

He wasn't going to put Lusty in the inn for Luthor to take care of.

Although Fiona had mentioned it, Lusty had the protection to block a fatal blow from the saint.

But what if the enemy's attack is not deadly?

Or is it poisoned by the enemy?

Even, what if the enemy just captures Rusty and tortures him or even sells him?

To deal with the so-called means of protection, Nock himself can come up with 1,800 ways to crack it.

He didn't dare to leave Lust alone.

Especially now that he is still deciding who will be the cardinal.

Although the people in the main hall were asked to keep it secret, there are no impermeable walls in the world.

When a secret is known by more than two people, it is basically not a secret.

If someone knows about Nock's decision, it will affect the outcome of this big competition.

Presumably, not only Dabi's people will try their best to win over and threaten Nock,

Even the forces behind these people will take action against Nock and those around him.

Nock didn't doubt this at all.

He never believed in the inherent goodness of human nature, otherwise,

How can the world need these clergymen to guide people to good?

After agreeing on a time to travel tomorrow and a place to meet, Nock and the two said goodbye to Joseph.

Back at the inn, the reward given by the Pope was already in place.

A series of commendations in the afternoon are said to have caused a sensation among the descendants of the major bishops who remained in the inn.

There were also crowds of onlookers nearby.

The name of Bishop Nock Lane from the Kingdom of Fran, only half a day later,

It spread all over the streets and alleys.

Everyone knows that this bishop from the Cathedral of Reims in the Kingdom of France, because he is too good,

I was specially commended by the church.

Moreover, Nock's origin has won the favor of the people of the Holy City!

That's the Kingdom of Lionheart, abandoned by the Holy Court!

There is even a monastery that has persisted to this day!

They all thought that the church had "lost" the Lionheart Kingdom more than ten years ago!

Unexpectedly, there are still a few devout clergymen who have sacrificed their hearts and souls for the church.

The story of Nock and the Abbey of Our Lady was spread,

The congregations of the Holy City were uplifted.

The night took to the streets to celebrate, and it is said that the scene once surpassed the opening ceremony of yesterday's general election.

After Nock rejected the overtures of some local family forces in the Holy City,

Finally sat down in Luther's envy.

"Nock, my friend. Although I know you're different. But I didn't expect that,

You can be so taken seriously by the church.

There are quite a few priests who enter the seminary with letters of recommendation every year.

But when you enter the seminary, you are the first.

Moreover, being able to wear a gold-rimmed robe is an honor that no more than three people in the Holy Court today.

It's no wonder that the big families in the Holy City can't sit still and want to invite you to their banquet.

You know, even once every four years, the cardinals who return to the Holy Tribunal to report to their duties,

may not be able to win their favor.

Why would you want to turn them down, though? With your current status and influence,

I think if you're going to a party, you're going to have a lot of sex tonight.

The daughters of those big families are not casually exposed. Don't you think it's a bit of a pity? ”

Nock looked at Luthor with a look of pity, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all.

Then he said playfully, "No, my friend." If you only see my value,

Then you are just as short-sighted as the person who invited me today.

My value is not that they send a butler to take some humble gifts,

You can win it over with an unfavored concubine. ”

A sneer appeared on Nock's face and leaned back on the sofa in the living room: "Believe it or not,

Tonight I accept the invitation to their feast, and they send out to entertain me,

At most, it is the young people of the family, and even the abandoned children of the sea beasts who are not very favored,

And then stuff a few of the so-called concubines they have left over from their arms,

As if it were a gift, he said some words to me again, so that I felt that I could be appreciated by them.

What a glorious thing. ”

Luther opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Isn't that glorious?

Even if he wanted to beg, he couldn't find the direction of someone's door!

Nock sneered disdainfully: "These guys are used to arrogance.

They have forgotten that I, Nock Lane, am now only twenty-one years old, and I am already sitting in the bishop's seat!

More importantly, I am appreciated by His Majesty the Pope and the Archbishop, and as long as I do not die, I have a bright future! ”

"Although they are high now, I will be high in the future.

In the future, it is not certain who is more noble than whom. If they don't take me into account, how can I put them in their eyes?

What I want is not their charity, but their pleasement of me on an equal footing.

When the time comes, don't say that they want to please me in every way, I also want them to treat the most cherished noble daughter in the family,

Send it to me and let me choose.

This is the arrogance that we young people should have.

How could I wag my tail and beg for mercy because of a little charity from others! ”

Nock's words, though, made Luthor's blood boil when he heard it.

But in the end, he is a person who has experienced the beating of reality, he is still stumbling in his thirties, and he can't see the day of his future at all.

It's long gone with the arrogance of youth.

Although Nok looks beautiful now, it is nothing to the big families of the Holy City.

Even His Majesty the Pope may not be willing to argue with the big families of the Holy City.

Not to mention a mere local bishop.

No matter how powerful Nock is, it is impossible to compare with the big family now.

He thought Nock was taking it for granted.

As a friend, he felt that he should remind Nock Lane so as not to be too arrogant,

Wasting a great future in vain, Luthor lost an important connection.

"Nock, my dear friend, I appreciate your backbone and arrogance.

However, I have to give you a word of advice. These big families,

All of them have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Their power is intricate and deep-rooted within the church. It's not something that a little person like us can shake.

Even if you're in that position now, they're just showing respect for you at most.

It is impossible to grovel to you.

So, don't say anything like that. If it gets out, it will only get you in trouble. ”

Nock looked at Luthor, who was "timid as a mouse", and knew that he was cautious.

But Luthor didn't know what was behind Nock.

The promise given by Fiona, Nock felt that he would not take advantage of his time in the Holy Court to make good use of it,

Wouldn't it be a waste of this great opportunity for the fox to fake the tiger!

At the very least, he had to let all the forces of the Holy Court, before they figured out what the agreement was between him and Fiona,

He and the people around him would never dare to attack him, so as to buy time for the development of Reims Cathedral.

Ten years, as long as ten years.

Nock firmly believes that when his reputation spreads back to the Kingdom of France, it will only take ten years.

He was able to develop Reims Cathedral into a famous church in the Kingdom of France and even on the mainland.

When the time comes, even the Holy Court will not dare to take such a prestigious cathedral lightly.

Because that is already the face of the church, and without a good reason, the church will not slap itself,

Joke about your own face.

This is the conclusion that Nock came to from the church's reaction to his purchase of Reims Cathedral.

Therefore, Nock knew that during his time in the Holy Court,

What we have to do is not to keep the light and keep the dark, but to show the edge!

Otherwise, those church forces that have already targeted him will definitely find an opportunity to continue to suppress and persecute him.

But if those people find that Nok can't be suppressed at all, but is unstoppable,

Then their more likely choice is to join!

After all, for these forces, interests are fundamental, and grievances are nothing!

What's more, Nock didn't feel that there was any unsolvable grudge between them.

Therefore, in the afternoon, Nock had already thought of an idea.

He has the dragon flute to protect him, and he has Joseph, a holy rank, to act as a guard.

His safety in the Holy Court is absolutely guaranteed.

If this is not wasted, wouldn't it be too timid!

What's more, as Lord Fiona said herself, during her time in the Holy Court, Nok could do anything under her banner.

Although this is an exaggeration, it also shows the connivance of Fiona-sama.

Nock believed that as long as he didn't lift the Holy City and make a little noise, it should be okay.

Therefore, he looked at Luthor and smiled mysteriously.

"Luther, my friend, if that's all you have the guts to do, then I advise you to stay away from me.

Because then, there will be constant troubles around me.

I don't even know who is trying to curry favor with me and who is trying to harm me.

It wouldn't be good if you were implicated by me.

You know, today I have just been appointed by His Holiness the Pope as a judge for this cardinal election.

As a judge of the Franco-French region, His Majesty the Pope takes my decision very seriously.

You said that if those players knew the news, they would send someone to win me over.

Or send someone to assassinate me? ”

"What! You're a judge! ”

Luthor was shocked!

He looked at Nock Lane, who still had a childish look on his face, and his heart was full of shock.

You must know that the person who can be a judge is not respected in the Holy Court.

It is in the Holy City that has a deep background.

It can be said that every election of cardinals is a contest of forces.

In order to cultivate and win over a local leader for his own power!

O cardinal! The expatriate cardinal is equivalent to the feudal official of an empire!

Even, so many princes of the empire who have no background are a head lower than the cardinal!

Don't look at what he just said about how arrogant those big families are,

But when faced with a cardinal who has centralized power in the local area, they also have to be careful to greet them.

It's good for them to call for wind and rain in the Holy City, but when they go out of the Holy City, they are nothing!

If Nock Lane really became a judge, even the cardinal was chosen from him this time.

In that future, it would be absolutely impossible for this cardinal to be an enemy of Nock Lane.

In addition, this time, the cardinal is going to serve in the region of the Kingdom of France and become the boss of Nock Lane.

With this relationship, that cardinal still dared to temper Nock Lane!

When the time comes, he will not be a cardinal, but he will be better than a cardinal!

He's only twenty-one years old!

It's going to keep him on this momentum.

Ten or eight years later, he can indeed compete with the big families of the Holy City!

Even, he himself can create such a family!

In the end, the foundation is just the foundation, and if you are strong, you are really strong!

Luthor said he was jealous! He was envious!

He felt that Nock was right!

He's so timid!

Climb aboard Nock Lane's giant ship that has just set sail, he can be more daring!

If you don't get on the boat at this time, you will definitely be knocked off the boat by the waves in the future!
