Chapter 639: The Dark Side

[Three hours before the countdown to the bishop's voting meeting]

Rosa angrily crushed the secret letter in his hand and smashed it on the ground. The secret letter was sent by Richelieu through a secret channel. The seal and handwriting on it were all written by Richelieu himself, but the content inside But it made him jump a little bit. This old thing actually made him have to fully support the new Pope's ascension? Just because that little apprentice knight is worthy of being Pope? Richelieu lost his mind? !

He wished he could find Richelieu right now and question him face-to-face, but what made him angry was that he didn't see Richelieu right now, so important news went directly past him and announced to the public!

In this way, even if he unites with other bishops to oppose this matter, it will make the Holy See lose face. After all, it is about a major event such as the succession of the Pope, and it is turned upside down repeatedly. Not only will the people discuss it, but it will also make all parties laugh .

However, up to now, he couldn't care less about it.

"Contact the other bishops immediately. I suspect that there is something wrong with this matter. Before meeting the Pope, we must not just elect a new Pope so easily." Rosa said to the butler next to him with gloomy eyes.

The butler looked at his gloomy expression, didn't dare to say more, nodded and promised in a low voice.

"I don't believe that other bishops will tolerate an unknown brat as Pope!" Rosa thought to himself, as one of the eight cardinals, he is in his early seventies this year, and he can be considered a senior among the bishops in terms of qualifications , I thought that when Richelieu abdicated, he would be one of the most powerful contenders, but now he directly ruined all his hopes.

In order to wait for the day of Richelieu's abdication, he had been secretly laying chess pieces twenty years ago, preparing for that moment to come, but this moment came too fast and caught him off guard, which made him unexpected, and directly passed the vote The link, sweep him out!

He really couldn't swallow this bad breath. After more than 20 years of careful management, now he will face a situation where he will lose everything.

"Old guy, what kind of calculations are you planning in your stomach? Damn it!" Rosa clenched her fists and hammered it on the table, causing a gap to crack on the wooden table.

At this moment, footsteps came again from outside the room door, Rosa turned his head to look, and saw the housekeeper who had retreated before, unexpectedly came back, a trace of anger flashed across his face, and he scolded: "Come back What to do, don't hurry up, miss the time, I want your head!"

"Alas..."

A teasing voice came from behind the butler, and the next moment, the butler's body fell straight to the ground, and he was already dead.

Rosa's pupils shrank,

Looking at a wizard-like figure in black robes behind the butler, his face changed slightly, and he said with serious eyes: "The Dark Holy See? How dare you come to my place? Are you here to die?"

Having said that, his palm quietly moved behind his back, touching the dark alarm line under the table.

After all, for the latter to be able to break into his castle, and still look so confident, most of the comers are not kind.

The man in black smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself first. I am the elder of the fifth district. You have given me a good title, called Youhun. I like it very much."

Rosa said with a cold face, "I recognize you. You were lucky enough to escape from the Battle of Red Castle eight years ago, and you still dare to appear in front of me today. You are quite courageous!"

"That time I was bullied by you, today I also want to experience the feeling of bullying the few by the more." The man in the black robe smiled and clapped his hands. There were several bangs and bangs outside the glass window, and the glass window was smashed. Several figures climbed over and landed in the room, surrounded by Luo Sa in a faint angle.

Rosa's face changed slightly when she saw it, and she touched the finger under the table and hooked it, but found that the dark thread was loose, indicating that the thread was cut short!

He had an ugly face. He never thought that his heavily guarded home would be infiltrated by the other party unknowingly. This only shows that there must be pawns of the Dark Holy See lurking around him as internal support, otherwise these people would not be able to sneak in silently. Show up here!

"You just want to assassinate me, it's too easy to think!" Rosa's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't act rashly, but delayed the time, hoping that his confidants and the knights stationed around the castle would be aware of the attack here. The situation, "If there is a real fight, my people will rush over immediately. Since you have thrown yourself into the trap, don't even think about leaving!"

Although he knows he is at a disadvantage, he must not lose his momentum.

The man in black laughed lightly and said, "Master Bishop, we are not here to kill you."

"Huh?" Rosa's eyes moved slightly, but his heart was still vigilant.

The man in black said leisurely: "My lord asked me to communicate with you. You must have heard about the change of Pope. My lord hopes that you will fully support the new Pope."

Rosa's expression changed, the words sounded too familiar, that's what he just read from the secret letter, could it be that...

"Your lord? Are you from Richelieu?!" Rosa looked at him gloomyly, but there was a chill in his heart.

"No, no, no." The black-robed man shook his head immediately, and said, "Richelieu has already pledged his allegiance to my lord, so, as Richelieu's subordinates, I hope you can also cooperate."

Rosa was startled, uncertain, "The Pope will be loyal to your lord? Who is your lord?"

"You don't even know, my lord is a big shot from the inner wall area." The man in black robe said with a smile. He didn't know much about Du Dian. He deliberately said that he was from the inner wall area at this moment. It's all about deterring Rosa. After all, the task Du Dian gave him was to ask Bishop Rosa to support the new pope.

The word "please" is very particular, so please do whatever you want.

"Inner wall area?" Rosa was shocked, and felt pressure in his heart. If someone who could kidnap Richelieu came from the inner wall area, it is very possible. After all, Richelieu's power is not simple, at least as far as he knows , the power of this old guy is even higher than that of the Great Bright King, and he hides his secrets!

"Bishop Rosa, have you made up your mind?" the man in black said with a smile without any haste.

Rosa stared at him, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The new pope is from your dark church. If he is appointed, it is tantamount to handing over the church to you dark believers. Don't even think about it! If you die, you won't agree!"

"Then you will die!" The man in black shrugged and waved his hand.

Whoosh whoosh!

Several figures around suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Rosa together.

Rosa was taken aback, but didn't panic. She backed up abruptly and hit the glass window behind her.

puff!

A cold light stabbed silently and suddenly from outside the window, at an extremely fast speed, Rosa was shocked when he saw it. He didn't expect that there was a person lurking outside this window, and there was no sound coming out. Although his perception ability was not Strong, but not so weak that even people who are so close can't detect it. This can only show that the latter is a terrifying assassin who is extremely good at hiding!

The sharp blade pierced through the back, and the pain instantly spread throughout the body. Rosa let out a low growl in pain, and slapped it with his backhand.

With a bang, the withered palm hit the black shadow outside the window. The black shadow groaned, and its body flew upside down, fell out of the window, and fell to the stairs more than ten meters high. Just when it was about to fall, he Then he quickly grabbed the wall with his palm, as if there was a suction force in his palm, it stuck firmly to the wall, like a spider.

On the other side, when Rosa repelled the attacker from behind, his body was blocked, and he was immediately surrounded by several people around him. He glared angrily, growled, and patted one of the slender figures with his hands, preparing to find a breakthrough from here.

This slender figure held a soft sword in his hand, shaking like countless silver snake heads, and rushed towards Rosa's face.

Rosa was empty-handed, not daring to meet the attack, and immediately withdrew his hands. At the same time, he felt the power passing away quickly. The pain on his back spread to his whole body in a short moment. He was about to change his gestures to defend, but the pain rushed to his arms. , Like a cramp, his body was a little stiff.

During this short period of stiffness, the flanking people immediately hit Rosa.

With a bang, Rosa's body flew out like a rag bag and hit a wall in the room. The huge oil painting hanging on the wall was also shaken off, and the dust fell on Rosa's face. On the face and hair, it looks extremely embarrassed.

Rosa struggled to get up from the ground, a countercurrent surged up in his chest, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on the expensive carpet. Zhang Zhang, but he couldn't exert any strength in his whole body, he just lay on the ground and his whole body trembled!

"As a human being, why do you have to make trouble with your own life?" the black-robed man smiled as if standing and talking without back pain.

Rosa stared at him with tearing eyes, "If you want to kill, kill him, I'll bah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood and splashed it on the face of the man in black.

Several people around immediately held their weapons and were ready to shoot.

The man in black stopped him immediately, then slowly wiped the blood off his face with his hand, and ordered: "Go get a pen and paper."

The person next to him immediately took it from the desk and handed it to him.

Seeing this, Rosa immediately knew what they were going to do, and said angrily: "Even if I die, I won't let you do anything wrong, you don't want to get involved in the Holy See!!"

The man in black kicked his arm, and with a click, his arm broke instantly, causing him to scream in pain, but his body was still numb. Obviously, the sharp blade that attacked earlier contained poison.

"Cut off this hand." The man in black ordered.

"Yes." The person next to him immediately drew out his sword, and before Rosa could react, he felt his arm go cold, and his arm was cut off!

The black-robed man picked up the severed arm and said softly, "Even if you don't attend, it's the same if you send your wishes. My lord bishop, I'll send you to the arms of your God of Light right now."

Rosa glared and cursed.

The man in black turned around and slightly raised his hand as a gesture.

Puff!

There were several piercing sounds of flesh and blood, and four sharp swords were stuck upside down on Rosa who was lying on the ground, nailing his body to the gorgeous carpet, and blood flowed down the sharp blades.

Carly is one of the two women of the eight cardinals. She is 38 years old this year. It is extremely remarkable to be able to serve as a cardinal at this age. She is the youngest among all the bishops. Of course, this is also inseparable from her family's support, after all, his grandfather was the fourth Pope!

"Mrs. Carly, are you finished?" On the sofa in the study, sat a short old man with a broad sword on his back, wrapped in a black cloth, and in several other places in the study, stood four The figure in the black robe has a stern demeanor, like four ghosts.

Beside the short old man's upturned legs and feet of Erlang, there were two dead bodies, one with a severed head and one with a punctured chest, with huge wounds. Many nobles recognize these two people. They are the personal servants of Bishop Carly. Although they are only servants, they are also big figures in the eyes of many nobles.

In front of the desk, Carly's hair was disheveled, she sat on a chair with an ugly face, holding a pen, and struggled to write the words confessed by the short old man. There was a bright red palm print on her beautiful cheek, which was from the short old man. hand.

In the hands of this long-renowned sword king in the dark church, she has no power to fight back and can only be forced to obey!

After a while, Carly finally finished writing the letter word by word. The pressure on her body seemed to be relieved suddenly. She bit her lip slightly, knowing that by doing so, it meant betraying the faith, the Holy See, and the greatness. God of Light! However, if she didn't do this, not only would she die, but her family would also be implicated. She only hoped that other bishops could escape this catastrophe. As long as someone opposed it, the puppet pope controlled by the dark church would not be able to take over!

"Show me." The Sword King stretched out his hand casually.

Carly picked up the written letter and slowly handed it to him.

The Sword King glanced over it, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "The handwriting is beautiful." After speaking, he put away the letter.

Carly's face was ugly, and she said: "I have done what you said, don't hurt innocent people anymore!"

"Innocent?" Sword King looked up at him, "When you killed our believers, why didn't you think that they are also innocent, they just like things, which are a little different from yours."

Knowing that she was not qualified to reason with him, Carly gritted her teeth and bowed her head, not saying a word.

"Now, I have to ask you to come with us." Sword King stood up, patted the invisible dust on his body, and said, "How can the new pope succeed without the support of the bishop? You will also see him at that time." You are obsessed with Pope Richelieu, he will give you the answer, I hope you will not be stupid, I can kill you at any time, anyway, your vote is already in my hands."

Carly clenched her hands tightly, her nails sinking deep into her palms, she knew she had no choice, but there seemed to be a glimmer of hope to see Richelieu!

In another castle, Laddos was sweating coldly, quickly wrote the letter, handed it to the black-robed man in front of him, forced a smile, and said, "Do you think this is okay?"

The man in black glanced at him, put away the letter, looked up at him mockingly, and said: "I didn't expect you to be so weak among the cardinals. If other bishops are like you, it will save us worry." gone."

Lados smiled all over his face, and said, "What you said is true, if you need my cooperation, just say it."

"Come with us." The black-robed man was too lazy to say more, snorted, turned and walked outside, and stepped over several bloody corpses on the ground.

【Two hours after the voting meeting ends】

Patton followed Ernolin through St. Mark's Square and arrived in front of the Pope's Temple. Patton looked up at this magnificent temple with a shocked face. It was the first time he saw such a magnificent building with a solemn and solemn look. His sacred aura rushed towards his face, making him feel awe-inspiring, all distracting thoughts were instantly forgotten, and his heart was filled with piety.

"Come in." El Norin led the way.

Barton followed him into the main hall, and immediately saw many high-level officials of the Holy See standing in the main hall, including a knight commander in bright silver armor, a holy priest with a book in his hand, and a person wearing a snow-white tall hat. I don't know what occupation it is, but it looks noble, and it is probably a big shot. 8)
