Chapter 548 Thinking and Decision

"Odis, the head of the regiment, he actually came."

There were whispering voices in the crowd, and they were quite surprised by the arrival of the leader of the Holy Lance Knight. Although the current scene is a bit chaotic, it is not a big deal. After a while, the Ten Swords Palace will mobilize people to disperse the troubled priests, and then talk one by one to slowly eliminate this matter.

But now that the big head appears in person, the nature of the matter will become official, and it will not be so easy to suppress it.

"Why are you making noise here and disturbing the order of the Holy Mountain?"

The head of Odis had a serious face, and his sharp eyes slowly swept across. The people present did not dare to look directly at him and lowered their heads.

The scene fell into silence, and after a while, a priest explained with a trembling voice.

"We have suffered injustice, think, want to seek an explanation, and fairness." He looked at the lion-like man nervously.

"What injustice have you suffered?" Odis' voice was as calm as a mountain.

"We..." After that, he began to explain slowly, and some of his companions gradually began to speak and help to add.

The meaning is probably that, because of the different churches and regions assigned to a group of pastors who had similar grades back then, as the years passed, the status and treatment disparity became obvious. They worked harder and paid more, but did not receive the corresponding respect and respect. In return, he was mocked and looked down upon by the priests of those rich regions.

"Why do we have to sacrifice ourselves for the church in the most difficult places and fulfill our responsibilities for the peace of the world, yet we have to suffer such humiliation!"

"Mud priests, coal black priests, country folks, shabby guys, etc., this is the title they put on us, no matter how long we work, no matter how much we pay, the chance for promotion will never come to us. "A group of people talked, recalling the hardships of these years, and some even shed tears, which made the many onlookers around them couldn't help feeling moved.

"Your efforts and hardships will be seen in the eyes of the church and will always be remembered." Odis eased slightly at this time.

"But your behavior is not good after all. In this case, everyone is like this. What is the order? It is absolutely not desirable to distribute according to the trouble."

"Go back first, I believe that the Ten Swords Palace and the church will give you an explanation."

People who used to be very strict in the past, now showing such soft feelings, immediately moved the group of priests, so they also admitted their mistakes, saying that they should not go through such an excessive procession and destroy the order and peace in the holy mountain.

In the end, under the arrangement of the holy spear knights, they returned to the guest residence outside the Holy Flame Palace to rest. This was the residence of the branch church when it came to the headquarters.

After watching the group disperse and then disappear into the night, several guards of the Ten Swords Palace frowned slightly. Today's incident was really sudden. They had just received the news and rushed over. They didn't expect things to develop like this.

"What should I do, captain?" a guard next to him asked.

"Let's report to Sir Sibis first, this matter doesn't seem easy." The golden armor guard put away his weapon and walked quickly to the Ten Swords Palace.

---------

After the incident on the opposite side of the mountain, the crowd dispersed and slowly returned to silence, and in the restaurant under the Holy Flame Palace, seven students from Emenas were also enjoying their dinner.

Compared with other palaces, the restaurant here seems to have more meat, which greatly meets the recent lack of taste of this group of students.

"Come on, have another drink." Several boys drank a little too much, blushing and thick necks.

"Dry!"

Although the language and culture were completely different, the scene at the wine table was always the same. Roland Hill looked at the people in front of him, shook his head slightly, and then turned his eyes to the small wine glass beside him. Among them is the light red fruit wine, which seems to be brewed with a red plum from the Holy Mountain, with a low degree of concentration and a sweet and sour taste.

She has always seldom drank, but this rare gathering didn't want to be too maverick, so she ordered a glass of fruit wine.

"Rochelle, Bolly, come, let's have a drink too."

Zelica held a large wine glass and wanted to clink glasses with the two people beside her. She seems to drink well, and it seems that she used to drink often.

"I can only drink a little bit, otherwise I'll get dizzy." Bolly looked at the remaining liquid in her glass with a little fear, it seemed that it was extremely unpleasant and bitter.

"Okay, okay, I won't make it difficult for you. As for Rosie, what's your drinking level? If you can't do it, don't force it." Jelica turned around and looked at the silver-haired girl who was holding the wine glass in a daze.

"It's nothing, it's still okay." There was a hint of a smile in the girl's voice, and then the girls touched the cup again and slowly finished the liquid.

Compared with liquor with a high degree of concentration, most of the alcohol in the Western Continent is not too high in degree, and there are not many merchants using distillation technology, but alchemists often use distillation to extract some substances.

The seven people were like this, eating and chatting until the night got darker.

"It's not too early, so let's have the party here today." After the dishes on the table were eaten, a few people had almost finished drinking, so it was time to part.

"I'll go back with Rothier and Bolly, you boys should take care of each other by yourself." Jelica said first, she didn't want to help these drunk boys, nor did she want her two friends to help.

"Well then, be careful on the road."

Heisen nodded to the three of them, and then, one by one, carried the people on his shoulders and walked out of the restaurant slowly, like a rare Hercules. the rest

They held hands to each other and walked out of the restaurant slowly.

"Let's go too. Don't look at Bolly, don't worry about them. Among us, except for you, all of us are above Sequence 5, and there will be no safety problems on the road."

"Well, although...but....you're right, but I always feel offended." Bolly muttered a few words unwillingly, and was then pulled away by Jelica with a smile. .

The three returned along the mountain road. Because they were relatively awake, they didn't need help, so they walked briskly and slowly disappeared into the night.

Ten Swords Palace, Liushui Inner Palace.

Sibes was eating, and his appetite seemed to be good all the time as the wide table was full of empty plates.

belch--

The potbellied man finally put down the cutlery in his hand and stretched out his hands. The attendant on the side came over immediately, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and then let someone start to clean up the table.

"It seems a little noisy outside today, let the captain on duty come in and report." He lay on the comfortable chair, closed his eyes, and let the nun behind him massage his head, speaking in a soft voice.

"Yes, Sir Sibis." Then an attendant went to notify the captain of the guard who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Lord Sibis..."

The captain first saluted, and then slowly reported what happened in the Holy Flame Palace this evening.

After he finished reporting, Sibis did not respond immediately, but was quiet for a while.

"I see. Wait for you and the few present at the time to transcribe the details of the time and put it in the palace, and someone will analyze it slowly."

"Yes, Sir Sibis."

"Well, then you go down first." He raised his fat hand and waved it slightly, letting the people on both sides exit the palace, leaving only a nun who massaged him and a personal attendant.

"Odis... Oh, when did you become so cunning." He seemed to sigh, and then asked the two beside him.

"Tell me, is he doing things with good intentions and fairness, or has ulterior motives."

"Of course it's ulterior motives." The attendant on the side said so, seemingly happy to have the opportunity to perform.

"Oh, then you can analyze it for me." A smile appeared on Sibis' closed eyes.

"If we follow the normal development, the guards of our Ten Swords Palace will arrive to disperse the priests who are disrupting the order, and then detain a few leaders. Slowly ask for a few months, and when the heat is over, give them to them. It's just a little benefit."

"But now is the critical moment of the Pope's election. As a result, although he helped us stop the incident, our follow-up actions will be somewhat passive no matter what."

"If we continue to ignore this and let it continue, the stigma on our head will not be removed, and this will greatly affect the recent general election."

"But if we solve it, the situation will be even worse. It's easier to find faults than to solve problems. A little carelessness will lead to even bigger conflicts. More people will see the benefits and think that we are the Ten Swords Palace. It's easy to bully, and then, like these pastors, the conflicts over the years have been triggered one by one."

"It could have been forced to suppress this matter, but after this group of paladins appeared, we would be stopped by them if we went to arrest people near the Holy Flame Palace. At the same time, such an act would in turn prove that we were guilty and dared not announce it in the The public has greatly damaged the prestige of the past."

He analyzed it with rapturous expressions, and the more he talked, the more he seemed to be proud of his intelligence.

clap clap-

Sibbes clapped his palms and said, "Very good, yes, indeed. But do you have any good countermeasures?"

"This..." The excited attendant who said just now suddenly got stuck and couldn't think of any good ideas for a long time.

"Then keep quiet, and if you can't solve the problem, don't raise the problem. No matter what organization it is, where it is, there must be all kinds of faults and problems, if you see them, but can't find an effective solution. The solution is to pretend not to see it."

"Things that give people hope and take away are the most hated."

"Yes, Sir Sibbes." The arrogant attendant suddenly became quiet and stopped speaking.

Sibis leaned on the reclining chair, enjoying the shade in the courtyard of Liushui Inner Palace. He slowly played with the gadgets in his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about some problems.

It wasn't until late at night that he signaled for someone to call in the captains of the guards outside the palace, and after whispering a few words, he went back to bathe and then went to rest.

--------

After returning to the place where he lived, Bolly went to bed early, and after taking a bath, Roland Hill sat at the desk, holding a pen in his hand, under the dim light of a candle, wrote paddling something.

As the papal election approached, she also began to consider her options in the future, whether to participate in it and interfere, or continue to keep a low profile and not participate in this event.

It is foreseeable that once you participate, there will definitely be risks, either by revealing your identity or triggering a conflict between the two countries.

However, it would not be appropriate to not interfere at all. If the Sanctuary favors the Frost Rose, Crancia will face an extremely difficult opponent in the future.

The church has its own branches all over the mainland, with a good reputation and a considerable public base. If you do it right, you will not only have to deal with hundreds of thousands of extraordinary people, but also have to deal with the surging public opinion, which will become a huge instability. The factor that shakes the foundations of the nation

.

It seems that we still have to get involved, at least to choose a neutral pope.

Lorraine Hill stroked the still wet hair around his ears. The night wind blew through his body and felt a hint of coolness. He drew four names on the paper, 'Charente', 'Odis', 'Sibis' Benes'.

According to their daily behavior and rumors, 'Thebes' is not a good partner for Crancia, and there is a huge gap between the values ​​of the two sides.

Although 'Odis' has a rigorous style on weekdays, he is the kind of person who attaches great importance to the interests of his own side, and it will be very troublesome and unpleasant to associate with him. He only stands on the side of his interests, and he has great ambitions. He is not a good ally for Crancia and Frostrose. Only choose him when there is no choice.

'Charente' himself is too mysterious and powerful, and neither party dares to easily win over and contact him, so as not to have a bad feeling. Perhaps he is more loyal to the duty and righteousness of the church, and using small means in front of him will only take his own life. disgrace.

The only one left who seems to be very talkative is 'Bines'. She is not bad in her own strength, has a kind personality, and has a group of loyal and close supporters.

But since they became Sequence 9, their xinxing and wisdom are not ordinary existences, and they are not people who can easily coax and persuade them.

If you want to really win over this priestess, you have to show your sincerity, otherwise it will be no use.

Loren Hill drew a circle on Benes' name with a pen, and then wrote some information next to it to aid her thinking.

'Angel Sequence 9' 'The Moon of Water Dew Golden Branches' 'Aquarius Palace Scepter Priest' 'Emenas Mentor' 'Intellectual Goodness' 'Can communicate' 'Calm and wise' 'Public and private distinction' 'I know my identity'' live in the vortex tower'

She stopped the pen and looked at the page in front of her, thinking slowly, her body didn't move.

After a long time, she continued to write the next line, and then put down the pen in her hand.

It seems that it is still necessary to have a good conversation with this priestess to see what kind of views she holds, and how similar or similar parts can be found in Crancia, so as to strengthen mutual recognition.

She is not the kind of person who can easily be shaken by her interests, but she will make concessions because of some ideals and righteousness, which is what makes Roland Hill quite fond of.

Hope to be friends with each other.

Loren Hill blew out the candle in front of him, put away the pages on the table, and went back to bed to sleep.

The moon sets in the west, and the night is as cold as water.
