Chapter Fifty-Eight: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions (Three Watches)
In the president's office of the Santo Commercial Street Federation, Wright sat quietly with Cardinal Delman, sipping the black tea that President Grande had personally served.
"Good tea! If I hadn't come with you, the host, I'm afraid that as my archbishop, I wouldn't have been able to drink such top-notch black tea. ”
"Personally, I prefer green tea and black tea. In our hometown, green tea refreshes and black tea nourishes. ”
Wright put down the teacup and raised his eyebrows: "So, you have to come along, it's not for tea, right?" ”
The archbishop laughed dryly, "Are you really going to kick Vanessa out as soon as possible?" ”
"How is that possible?"
Lightmo clenched his fingers: "I'm going to keep her so I can find out who is behind it." ”
The cardinal also put down the teacup: "You really said that on purpose......"
Wright smiled slightly, "When we left, everyone else was behind us except for the members of the Temple Council.
With so many people, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no eyes and ears of the other party. ”
"Then you tell Taylor to inform Adros...... It's also for fishing, right? ”
"It's not so much fishing as throwing stones to ask for directions."
Wright sat upright, fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.
"The First Empire, as powerful as it is, has never heard of anything to do with the dragons.
Moreover, of all the holy subjects, the First Empire was notoriously thorny and had the worst relationship with the Church.
In this case, in the worship system of the Holy Light Church, how could the Light Holy Dragon, whose status is second only to the Holy Light Goddess, appear with them and sign a contract with Vanessa?
Therefore, behind her, there must be other forces that provided her with this Bright Holy Dragon and helped her successfully complete the contract.
But as for who this force is, it depends on the result of this stone's question. ”
The cardinal archbishop nodded repeatedly: "Do you have any suspicions?" ”
“…… Truth remnants. ”
"I'm the same as you think."
The cardinal archbishop's finger tapped lightly on the table: "In the past two years, the First Empire has grown rapidly recently, and has recruited a large number of magicians and alchemists.
Although there is no definite information to prove that these people are related to the remnants of the Tower of Truth.
But the deterioration of relations between the First Reich and the Holy See over the years raises doubts in this regard......
Did you know that during the Great War to destroy the Tower of Truth, the reason why the Dragons were willing to hand over those all-important Dragon Magic Scrolls was because the Tower of Truth extended its hand to the Dragons' ancestral land.
Dragon's Crypt.
According to my analysis, the Tower of Truth may have touched the taboo of the dragon clan at that time! ”
Wright bowed slightly: "This is the first time I've heard of this, and it seems that the archbishop can still provide a little useful information." ”
The archbishop was very depressed, so he had to use tea to suppress the anger.
Wright refilled the Archbishop's tea: "Just kidding, don't mind.
In fact, two days ago, I was still thinking that the movement of the Truth Remnant Party this time was so small, and only a few small minions were sent to disrupt the situation.
Now it seems that it is very likely that this stupid princess and her stupid dragon are the real big moves.
For some reason, the Knights of the Holy Rose have not been able to follow for the time being.
Then, if she wants to bring me down by investigating Adros, there are only two ways.
Either integrate the power of the Templar Council, or continue to harness the power of the black hand behind her.
As long as I limit the power of the Templar Council, I can force her to come into contact with the people behind the scenes. ”
The cardinal archbishop cautiously observed Wright: "What if she is really the remnant of truth behind her...... What are you going to do? ”
Wright's eyes flashed: "If it's just to make the Advent ceremony hold peacefully, it's very simple, just kill the guy who gets in the way."
You can't do it, I'll come.
To keep people alive but only to the means of living, I have.
I'm not afraid of any Dragon Island, what the First Empire.
But now, my main purpose is only one, and that is to unlock the witch curse on Joanna.
For this reason, I need to force out the culprit behind the scenes. From the other party's mind, dig out all the clues related to the witch.
They haven't made a move, and it's actually me who bothered them.
Now that I'm done, it's too late for me to be happy!
So, you don't have to worry about what I'm going to do with Vanessa, at least not anytime soon. ”
The cardinal archbishop smiled awkwardly, "If you can, I also want you to ensure that the Advent ceremony goes on as smoothly as possible." ”
"Boss! I found out! I inquired! ”
Grandet ran in panting, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Boss, I inquired! Our councillors in the temple have sent a message back that Her Highness Vanessa has completed her emergency meeting and has been appointed as Vice-President.
Because the position of president was vacant, she was promoted to acting president.
Exactly as you might guess.
Your wisdom, Your Highness, is truly ......."
"Stop!"
Seeing that he was in a good way, Wright hurriedly stopped him: "Say it's useful." ”
"Oooo
Grandet took a deep breath, calmed down, and then told all the information.
After taking office, Her Royal Highness Vanessa delivered her inaugural speech, saying that she would restore the glory of the Temple and regain the rights that everyone deserved.
At the same time, she also made it clear that she said...... Say ......"
The cardinal was a little anxious: "You said it! ”
Grande looked at Wright with an embarrassed face: "Her words are a little offensive to the boss, I don't dare to ......"
Wright waved his hand: "What she said is not what you said, but it doesn't hurt to speak!" ”
"Yes! The boss, Her Royal Highness Vanessa, made it public in her inaugural speech that Wright is not invincible!
She's found a way to make sure she's going to beat you! And save the Holy Capital from your bullying rule! ”
Wright glanced at Delman, and the archbishop said categorically.
"You don't have to throw stones to ask for directions, now you can basically be sure that behind her must be the Tower of Truth!
From the Battle of the Gods to the Tower of Truth, there have been countless forces that want to target the Cult of Light.
But the only one who has the ability to do it, and the one who really does it, is the Tower of Truth!
According to the records in the Red Templar, the Tower of Truth secretly carried out several projects against the Church of Light.
The most famous is the [Holy Flails] that directly led to the fall of the legendary white archbishop and the crowned pope.
If, if not the war ended relatively quickly! If you're really delayed by the Tower of Truth!
When other targeted projects mature, it is really hard to say who will die in the end.
Vanessa is so sure, maybe she also has some unknown means in her hands. ”
Wright laughed instead: "That's great, since she can master such an important means, it means that the guy behind her is definitely the core figure in the remnant of truth!"
That's the kind of person I want! ”
The cardinal archbishop was a little worried: "Wright, you have to be careful, the core members of the Tower of Truth are not easy to deal with!" ”
"Don't worry, archbishop, I'm more difficult to deal with than they are."
Wright beckoned to Grandet, "I just checked the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce for the past three years, and found that there is a large amount of expenditure every year for the renovation of the temple council's house?" ”
Grandet nodded repeatedly: "Yes, because most of the members of the Temple Council are dignitaries and celebrities from all walks of life.
In order to ensure the vigorous development of the commercial street, as well as the safe and smooth flow of the various trade routes of the United Chamber of Commerce.
Each year, the Chamber of Commerce allocates a large sum of money to the temple in this name.
It was said that it was enough to repair the house, and the money was enough to build ten temple houses. In fact, most of it is for the benefit of the parliamentarians.
Some council officials also have VIP treatment in the commercial street. ”
"Very well, tomorrow we will have enough men to follow me to the Temple House."
"What is the boss going to do?"
"Ask for debt! Demolish the house! ”
