Chapter XXII: Cardinals

"Hmm...... Very good...... Flavis?" Seeing that Stuart was so interested, Laika nodded in satisfaction, and then, he looked at Flavis, and at the same time, Laika's eyes turned cold.

"I'm here, my lord......" seemed to feel the coldness in Laika's eyes, and Flavies hurriedly bowed deeply to Laika and humbly expressed his attitude.

"Hmm...... Do you think that King Lacales, Stuart, is a, a worthy king?" Laika said word by word, his face was still flat, but a layer of cold sweat oozed from Flavis's face at the moment.

“...... Yes, my lord. Stuart, King of Lacales, was indeed a qualified king, and under his leadership, Lacales continued to prosper over the years, and he also successfully integrated into the ...... The world of the Holy See. Flavies had clearly foreseen what Laika was going to say, and his face was about to squeeze out even a hint of flattery!

Severia, who was trembling in the corner of the highest position, even couldn't believe it after seeing Fravis's current expression - she couldn't believe that this was her usually high-minded and dignified father!

As if sensing the disbelief from his daughter, Flavies' body trembled imperceptibly, but soon returned to normal.

If I guessed correctly, after today, no matter who comes out of the Sanctuary of Salvation, no matter whether Will is dead or alive, Laika's status in the Holy See will definitely rise a notch!

Didn't you hear him just say that a cardinal should come to Lacales to preach?

Therefore, Flavis was not ashamed of his flattery, but on the contrary, he was now very afraid that Laika would resent his hesitation and disobedience......

At that point, Flavis was not alone.

Power can make people lose themselves, and all those who are contaminated with power tend to be dominated by power in the end.

They greedily keep climbing up, no matter how dangerous it is, if there is the slightest opportunity, they will not let it go.

At the same time, these power-chasers are extremely afraid that they will lose even a little bit of power.

"Hmm...... Very well, it seems that you did judge Stuart, King of LaCalles, fairly...... Then the Lord will forgive you for your past sins, for those who have offended this king...... Sin!" Laika said arrogantly, and after seeing that Flavis's face was finally a little lighter, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and continued: "Flavis, since you have recognized the greatness of King Stuart of Lacales, then, after this is over, return the power you hold in Lacales to King Lacales, Stuart?"

"This ...... My lord, I, I ...... Yes, sir...... My lord!" Flavies' eyes instantly became bloodshot when he heard this! He tried to open his mouth to argue, but when he saw the cruelty in Laika's eyes, Flavies finally sighed...... He chose to bow his head!

"Don't worry, Flavies. Because of your piety, I think, you can join the Holy See...... How about starting with a bishop?" Lyka smiled and nodded after receiving Flavis' feedback, and then made the above proposal.

What is it called?

Give a slap and a sweet date.

Flavies is clearly lost in the ocean of power, which means that he will not be willing to be an ordinary person anyway!

However, having lost the power entrusted to him by the Roman Empire, he did not dare to return to Rome to meet the tyrant of Rome, His Majesty Caligula. And Caligula will no longer trust a guy who bows to the Holy See.

But this kind of person, Laika needs - he will deeply imprint himself on Flavis, and make him a powerful pawn in the outside world after entering the cardinal's office!

Flavies hesitated for a long time after hearing Laika's suggestion, but finally nodded and humbly bent down again to pay tribute to Laika.

Laika looked visibly impressed by Flavies' set, and nodded in satisfaction. Then he cast a certain expectant gaze into the distance...... Those people should be coming soon, right?

......

Chiyo Hattori slowly felt upwards, she was almost at the handrail of the staircase next to the high position, and once she got there, she should be able to see the people of the high position directly around the corner.

She also overhears the conversation between Laika and Flavis, as well as Stuart.

After listening to it, Hattori Chiyo only had one feeling - these are all despicable and shameless villains!

Suddenly, in the sky, a powerful coercion came, and Hattori Chiyo grabbed anything that could be grabbed next to him for the first moment, to prevent being shaken away by this sudden coercion!

She bent down and carefully lowered her whole body to the upward stairs, because she clearly felt that with the subsidence of the coercion, there were suddenly five more terrifying breaths directly above the supreme position!

That's right, reinforcements from the Holy See have arrived!

Hattori Chiyo looked up in horror, only to see that in the middle of the air, a majestic old man with six teams of light wings behind him, and a knight with three pairs of light wings spread out behind the four, slowly fell to the highest position.

They...... The aura emanating from everyone's body is no worse than Laika!

"Laika...... When I received your distress signal, I rushed over with my men, and now, tell me, what's going on here?"

"It's the Black Death, Honorable Cardinal, Lord Blaze!" Laika smiled and lowered his voice, as if he was saying something unspeakable, even though the Colosseum was almost empty now, and even if he said it quietly, it would be heard by everyone here!

"Oh, the Black Death, aren't they all already in the far north, strangled by the knights sent by His Majesty Baiseni?" Although he said so, Cardinal Blaze of the Holy See still showed his doubts at this moment. Finally, displeasure appeared on his face, and Blaze said coldly: "If it is just the Black Death who escaped from the North by luck, you don't need to summon us at all, you just need to send him to the gallows, or burn him at the stake......"

"That's right, my lord......" This time, Laika didn't choose to be humble, he knew that Blaze was tempting, so he simply didn't hide it, lowered his head and said respectfully: "However, what we found this time is indeed the eldest son of the leader of the Black Death......, Lewell! They didn't know Lee's identity at first, but later ...... After learning of Lewell's identity, they ......"

“...... Lewell?" Ignoring Laika's words to excuse Tina and Severia, after hearing Lewell's three words, Blaze's pupils shrank, and the light wings behind him stirred one after another, just in the blink of an eye, he came to Laika's side. After this, Blaze could no longer contain the eagerness in his heart, and asked seriously: "Are you sure it's Lewell? Richard's son, Levier?"

"That's right, I'm sure it's Lewell, my lord...... You should believe me, after all, I used to work with Lewell for a while......" Laika did not hide his past with Will, he looked at Blaze calmly, because she knew that when this was all over, the Holy See would trust her completely!

"Oh...... So, he is now in the sanctuary of salvation...... Blaze nodded, and then he cast his gaze to the Sanctuary of Salvation in the sky, if what Laika said was true, then His Majesty Baiseni should be happy to hear the news, right?

"Yes, sir. When Lewell saw me, he wanted to struggle, he wanted to escape...... As a last resort, I can only ......" Laika described calmly, as if everything that had just happened was not worth mentioning!

"Okay, I got it. Blaze interrupted Laika with a wave of his hand, and then he took a scepter from his spatial ring out of thin air and pointed it towards the Salvation Sanctuary in the Void.

Strange to say, this Salvation Sanctuary that Laika could not control was released by Laika, but after Blaze took out the scepter, there was a slight fluctuation, and immediately, the dazzling light of the Salvation Sanctuary quickly faded.

The entire Sanctuary of Redemption became transparent again, and after that, the scene in the Sanctuary of Salvation gradually revealed......

I saw that Tina hugged Will tightly, and Will looked helpless and ...... Distress!

However, Will also sensed the change in the Sanctuary of Redemption, and he quietly pushed Tina away from him, and then looked out gloomily.

Blaze ...... I didn't expect it to be you......"

"Yes, I was lucky, so, I'm here ......"

The conversation between Blaze and Will sounds a little confusing, but Blaze doesn't plan to continue the conversation with Will.

Blaze glanced at Will and the girl, shook his head, and said, "Only one of you can come out, Will...... So, you're going to do that?"

Will didn't answer Blaze's words, and he now regretted that he hadn't ended his life with his own hands!

Once Blaze senses Tina's unusual attitude towards herself, then ......

"Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing. Surprisingly, Blaze did not continue to ask, but looked at Will and said slowly: "Anyway, Will, get ready...... In any case, after leaving the Lord's birth, nothing but death awaits you!"
