Chapter 636: Shocking Eight Parties

"Sooner or later, you will have to face it, why be afraid?" Du Dian said indifferently, "Get ready."

Richelieu gave him a deep look, lowered his head, and said, "Yes."

Whoosh!

A snow pigeon landed on the window sill of Kavey's room. Kavey was recording the secret activities of the third area of ​​the Dark Holy See in recent days. He was preparing to submit it to the Pope when he came back. When he saw the disturbing snow pigeon landed suddenly, He frowned, stopped writing and took off the scroll from Snow Pigeon's feet, and slowly squeezed and shook it to look away. After a while, his pupils shrank, and he lost his voice in shock, "Passing the position? To a little trainee Cavalier promotion?"

The small characters on the scroll were real, and after a while, Kawei slowly recovered, still feeling unbelievable in his heart, and even felt that someone had secretly borrowed this communication channel or replaced the letter.

"Check it out first..." He thought to himself, and immediately took out a new piece of snow paper from the side, and started to write.

Antonia, a famous poet from another place, was drinking wine and explaining the rhythm difference between classical poetry and modern poetry to his two proud students. He stopped explaining, and said: "After class today, what I mentioned above, you go back and think about it carefully. Remember, emotion is not the only thing in poetry. Poetry not only has praise, but also criticism. The most important thing is that poetry must have dignity. !"

"Yes."

"is teacher."

The two students stood up respectfully, saluted, and left.

After the two students left, Antonia said calmly, "Sir, come out."

From a shadow at the back of the room, a figure covered in a black robe slowly walked out, his body seemed to be covered with a vague mist, making it difficult to see his face and figure, he said with a low smile: "The master implanted the hunter His eyeballs and perception are indeed not comparable to ordinary people."

"Don't dare." Antonia said indifferently: "Sir is the master."

"I'm sorry, we only engage in some crooked ways that you speak of, and we can't compare with you, a serious and great poet." The black-robed figure chuckled, and then stopped laughing, saying: "Today I came to look for you, mainly because the Holy See has given you a task, I hope you must complete it within today!"

"Huh? What task?" Antonia frowned.

The figure in the black robe said in a low voice: "As usual, I'm still writing poems, this time I'm writing poems in praise of an apprentice knight of the Holy See, his name is 'Barton'!"

"Praise an apprentice knight?" Antonia was a little surprised,

And it's still from the Holy See? When did the Dark Holy See become so kind? He thought for a while and said, "Is there anything strange about this person?"

"It's nothing special, just an ordinary person." The black-robed figure said slowly: "However, his identity is not ordinary, and he is about to ascend the throne to become the new Pope."

"The new Pope?" Antonia stood up abruptly from the chair and looked at the black robed figure in shock. "You mean, Richelieu is about to abdicate? How is it possible? How could this happen so suddenly?"

"It was very sudden, that's why you need to write a hymn for the new Pope to make everything seem more natural." The black-robed figure said.

Antonia was stunned, and suddenly came to his senses, with a chill in his heart, and said: "Could it be that your dark church planned the change of pope? How is this possible!"

"These are not things you should know, you should think about it now, how to write a good hymn." The black-robed figure said coldly: "After finishing writing, hand it over to the agency of the Rice Chamber of Commerce, and they will print it out for you as soon as possible. of."

"Rice Chamber of Commerce?" Antonia's face changed slightly. Although he didn't have a deep relationship with the Dark Vatican, he knew that the Dark Vatican was behind the Chamber of Commerce. In other words, this matter was completely planned by the Dark Vatican!

It was really hard for him to imagine how the Dark Holy See could suddenly get involved in the matter of the Pope's change. You must know that the Bright Holy See has been suppressing the Dark Holy See for so many years. Otherwise, the Dark Holy See would not have succumbed to the dark Middle East and hid in Tibet. After all, in the process of hiding, it is very painful for many dark believers. They are hunted and killed everywhere, and they can only live alone in a dark place, and life is very inconvenient. This also causes many dark believers As the time in the church grew longer, his temper became weirder and withdrawn.

However, now, the dark believers directly control the heart of the Holy See, which is simply unimaginable!

Once the Holy See of Light is controlled by the Holy See of Darkness, he can't imagine what the outer wall area will look like in the future. When the light becomes darkness, but the darkness mixes with the light, is it chaos or destruction?

His thoughts were a little confused and confused, and soon, the words of the black-robed figure interrupted his thoughts: "Another thing, at noon, the newspaper office of the Rice Chamber of Commerce sent someone to interview you. During the interview, please be sure to Support the new Pope Mr Barton, he is a great leader, hope you keep that in mind!"

Antonia came back to his senses, his expression fluctuating. He knew that the other party wanted him to remember the meaning of this sentence, so that his praise of the new Pope during the interview should be centered on this core sentence, and there should be no other words. Reminiscent of negative words.

This interview was just a show, even if he didn't say so, most of the newspapers would "speak for him".

"I see." He lowered his head slightly and agreed.

The dawn shone down from the slope of Mount Wutuo, and the warm light dispelled the darkness and cold air covering countless buildings. The newspaper delivery boy rode a fast horse and delivered newspapers to households, some of which were aristocratic manors, some of which were Rich people's compound, some are exquisite huts, from the bustling area of ​​the outer wall area to the suburbs, and then to various small towns and villages.

The newspaper delivery people of various newspaper offices are like ants, scurrying on the streets, carrying messages.

A farmer drank steaming soup, ate cheese bread, and flipped through the morning newspaper at 7:30 am, enjoying this leisurely breakfast moment, but when he opened the newspaper, he was stunned and opened his eyes wide. Eyes, I forgot to swallow the thick soup that I drank in my mouth, and it almost flowed out from the corner of my mouth, staring at the news on the headline and the largest board in the newspaper

"Mr. Richelieu, the ninth Pope of the Bright Holy See, will inherit the position of Pope today, and the new God-given person will be in charge!"

The farmer was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and looked down hastily. After a while, he finished the whole newspaper. At this moment, the heat on the thick soup was gone, and the cheese bread next to him was also cold, but he was completely Forgot, lost in thought.

You know, the change of Pope is a big deal even for ordinary people like him! In addition to spreading beliefs and building temples, the Holy See is also in charge of land division, taxation of some land, and asylum tax, etc. The so-called asylum tax is required to be paid by everyone, even ordinary civilians in civilian areas No exception, unless you are so poor that you live in a slum and become a refugee.

This asylum tax includes a lot, such as the invasion of dark cultists, the invasion of monsters outside the wall, etc., but does not include the invasion of wild beasts, which is the responsibility of the military department.

Therefore, if the pope changes, these taxes may change! This has happened in the past when the Pope was replaced. Among them, after the sixth Pope took office, the biggest change was that the asylum tax was increased by 10% in one go! It made all the civilians miserable, but fortunately, the pope was attacked and killed by the dark cultists after he had been in office for less than ten years.

It was also one of the few times in history when many people were grateful to the Dark Cultists.

"The new Pope..." The farmer looked worried. This year's harvest is not good. If the newly appointed Pope raises taxes, his family will be burdened heavily, and even face the situation of dismissing the serfs.

Following the publication of the morning papers, exclamations came from various manor compounds one after another. This sudden news caught everyone off guard. They did not expect that the change of pope would be so sudden this time. Such a sudden change is unprecedented in history. Although there have been, but not many times, could it be that the previous pope had some kind of physical accident? For a time, countless people speculated.

At the same time, they are also full of curiosity about the identity of the newly appointed pope.

In the room of the headquarters of the court, Feyeat looked at the newspaper in his hand, reading it over and over again, carefully reading every word, and he slowly put it down until there was no possibility of any mistake. The newspaper, with a loud bang, slapped the newspaper on the table suddenly, flames almost burst out from his eyes, "Damn Richelieu, what the hell are you going to do?!"

"My lord, the Pope is going to abdicate. Why didn't you inform us of this matter? Could it be that he suddenly suffered from some serious illness?" An old man wearing a priest's robe next to him asked suspiciously.

Feyeat clenched his fingers, crumpled the newspaper into a ball, and held it tightly, saying: "With his vigilance, do you think he will get a serious disease? This old guy cherishes his life the most. The doctors around him They are all the best in the outer wall area, if there is any serious disease, it would have been found out long ago!"

"Then why did he suddenly abdicate?" The old priest was even more puzzled, "Could it be that his life span is approaching? No, as far as I know, he should live to be more than a hundred years old."

Feyeat said coldly: "I have to ask this old man to find out about this matter. Damn it, I don't know where he is hiding now. I heard that he was attacked by assassins and someone sneaked into the top of the Holy See." , so he disappeared, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen after this disappearance!"

The old priest was stunned: "Could it be that someone hijacked him and forced him to pass on the throne?"

Feyeat narrowed his eyes slightly, "There is such a possibility, but it's not great. The strength of this old guy...is much stronger than that Great King of Light!"

"Ah?" The old priest was astonished.

"Immediately notify the presiding judges of each branch office, and tell them to dispatch everyone to find this old guy for me!" Feyeat said with cold eyes, "I want to see what he wants to do when he makes such a sudden abdication. What are you doing!"

"Yes."

At the same time, in the Knights Hall, nine elders who had been awarded the title of legendary knights gathered in the council hall. Illora looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, Richelieu is going to abdicate. It's too sudden. Who knows?" Where is Richelieu now?"

"Grand Elder, this incident is too sudden. It's normal if ordinary people don't get the news, but we didn't have any news beforehand. Is there something tricky about it?" another person said.

"That's right, in my opinion, Richelieu should have some plan and purpose in making such a decision, so I have to guard against it!"

"Yes, in recent years, the Holy See of Light has been oppressing our Knights Hall more and more. If there are no nobles who stand on the same line with us, we will suffer a big loss! However, the new rules of the Holy See of Light five years ago, everyone I must also know that any nobleman who joins the Holy See of Light can pass the exam unconditionally, and after about three years of employment, he can become an official Knight of Light. power!"

"The Bright Holy See has always made a lot of small moves, hum!"

"I don't know if there is any cooperation from the military in this incident."

Listening to the speeches of the crowd, Illora was silent for a moment, and then said: "Be sure to find Richelieu before noon today! Also, immediately go and thoroughly investigate the background of the new pope!"

"Find out about the new Pope, leave it to me!" One of the old men took the initiative.

"Okay!" Elora nodded.

A moment later, the council ended.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

The old man who proposed to investigate the new Pope left the Knights' Palace and went straight back to his castle. Once he entered the castle, he went upstairs to his room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw sitting on the sofa in the middle of his room. A figure in a black robe and a mask was drinking tea, his legs were crossed, and there was a black scorpion tattoo on his wrist.

Dare to engrave the tattoo on such a conspicuous position on the wrist, it is obviously either an extremely careless rookie, or extremely confident.

"How was the result of the meeting?" the man in black looked at the old man who entered the door with his head tilted, and said with a smile.

Seeing his relaxed appearance, the old man was slightly suffocated, his face darkened, and he said: "This is my home, you'd better be careful, if someone sees me, I will be exposed!"

"Don't worry." The man in black said with a smile, "If someone approaches, I don't need to open the door, I will know."

The old man knew his ability, but still felt that such an attitude displeased him, frowned slightly, did not pursue anything further, sat on the other side of the sofa, and said: "Others also feel that the Pope's replacement is too sudden this time. , there is no news in advance, and I think there is some plan inside, so at present, other people are investigating, and they are going to find out the whereabouts of Richelieu first."

"Well, our lord expected this." The man in black nodded slightly.

The old man moved his eyes and said, "Who is that lord?"

"That's what I told you last time." The black-robed man glanced at him, "My lord who surrendered twelve elders overnight, our new speaker!"
