Chapter 563 Regarding the expedition, whoever does not go will die!
"The Pope is in poor health. Let us command the expeditionary force to go to the Thorn Lion to collect the devil's messenger and the curse? Something is wrong!" The judge archbishop looked dignified.
"Since the day before yesterday, the Pope has not shown up again." The Archbishop of the Commandments also recalled it.
The two suspect that there is some trap here, otherwise, it would be impossible to delegate power to the two of them so easily.
For the rights of the expeditionary force, the Pope physically destroyed both of them.
How could it be possible to give up now, and give up so simply.
If there is no conspiracy, how could anyone believe it.
"Could there be a problem with this expedition?" The interrogating archbishop looked solemn.
Although there were fights between the two, they mostly focused on cooperation. Otherwise, only one person would be unable to resist the pope's general trend.
"You want to give up?" The Archbishop of Discipline frowned, he was a little confused about what the other party was thinking.
"If you are asked to lead the expeditionary force, are you sure?" The trial archbishop just wanted to give up, and he sensed that something was wrong.
In this aspect, he is still extremely keen, otherwise it would not be possible to hand over the Knights of the Protector in time back then. Facts have proved that the decision back then was very correct. Changed several crops.
In terms of self-protection, he did a very good job.
As soon as these words came out, the Archbishop of Discipline also had a complicated look on his face. He never expected that the other party would have such an idea. According to his speculation, it was supposed to be a battle between two people, and in the end after all kinds of conspiracies and schemes. Only then did the rights of the expeditionary force be divided up.
Never thought about it, the other party just gave up.
"Of course I am sure, but are you sure you want me to lead the expeditionary army alone?" the Archbishop of Discipline also asked tentatively.
He still doesn't quite believe the other party's statement. After all, it takes a lot of determination to give up such a right. You must know that if you guess correctly, the other party can survive, but if you guess wrong, in the future, he, the archbishop of commandments, will die. become a puppet.
The Pope still has the Apologist Knights in his hands. Even if he can't resist the expeditionary army, he still has to give face to the other party in the Holy City of Dawn.
The commandment archbishop who has nothing is completely useless.
"Well, I am also planning to resign as the Archbishop of the Precepts, quit the Precepts, and return to my hometown to become an ordinary priest." The Archbishop of the Precepts said abruptly.
"What?!" The trial archbishop looked shocked. This time, he really didn't know what to say. He just gave up his power and went back. It didn't fit the other party's character at all. Then he restrained himself and asked: "You What did you find?"
"I didn't find anything, I just found it a little strange." The archbishop of discipline did not find anything, but he was a little terrified.
He was able to climb to this position, on the one hand because of his noble status and ability, and on the other hand because of his intuition beyond ordinary people. Since the arrival of the magic tide, this intuition has become stronger and stronger.
He also found the reason, because the wizard blood of his ancestors only has good perception ability, and can even feel the blessings and misfortunes. , he could feel some unknown crisis approaching.
"Just because you find it strange, you plan to retire?" The trial bishop could actually comfort him hypocritically, but he was too shocked at this time, and he really didn't have the intention.
The two have been fighting against each other and cooperating with each other for many years in the struggle for power.
"That's right, the commandment office is also given to you. I will leave today, and I will bring my savings and guards over the years." The more the commandment archbishop said, the more he felt a haze in his heart.
Something seems wrong.
"I need to think about it, after all this." The archbishop of the trial said tactfully, or you will wait.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted: "I'm notifying you, not discussing with you. Anyway, the rights are left there. Whether you accept it or not is up to you."
Since he decided to leave, the Archbishop of Discipline also said everything.
"Wait, you're so resolute, are you sure you haven't found anything?" The archbishop of the trial looked a little weird, and he even suspected that he was retreating to make progress, or else the conversation was good just now, and you would have to leave after a few words. Run away.
"I didn't find anything." After the commandment archbishop finished speaking, he got up and left. This matter was indeed a temporary idea, not a deliberate one.
Actually, he also knew that he was already old, and it was not suitable for him to continue working in such a power center as the Holy City of Dawn.
Especially a few of his heirs are not very successful.
Getting him into trouble from time to time made him feel a little bit annoyed. In that case, he might as well take it back to the countryside.
As a nobleman, he naturally has a territory, and he can live a stable life after returning. Even if the territory is far away from the bustling center, it is still very suitable for retirement.
This time, the trial archbishop didn't persuade him any more. He was also puzzled by the abnormal behavior of the other party.
"Since you don't want it, I will accept it unceremoniously." There was a hint of excitement in the expression of the trial archbishop.
Fortunately, he was not dazed. This matter still needs to be watched, at least until the Archbishop of Discipline resigns and leaves the Holy City of Dawn.
"I just don't know what expression the Pope will make when he knows the resignation of the Archbishop of the Commandments."
"Happy? Or emotional?"
He didn't know that the Archbishop of Discipline had no intention of asking the Pope to resign. In the other party's intuition, every time he thought of the Pope, he would feel weird, so he naturally felt that there was something wrong with the Pope, otherwise, why would he run away.
When it comes to your own life, you really have to be more cautious.
"However, it may be to deceive me and make me let my guard down." The trial archbishop did not fully believe it, after all, this is the right of the expeditionary army.
Besides, the conversation between the two of them is only known to them, and it will not be counted after leaving the room. No one will admit to having said these words.
In case it is the conspiracy of the other party, it is not impossible.
"I still have to be more cautious, I have to act immediately, otherwise if you really lie to me, wouldn't the other party take the lead?"
Suspicion is inevitable, otherwise he would have been backstabbed to death long ago.
Most of the bishops under his command are able to change jobs, and they can betray anytime and anywhere because of their interests. Nobles are like this.
On the other side, Archbishop Lorente left in a hurry with a look on his face. When he left, he looked back at the Supreme Council where the Pope was.
Of course, before the feeling of overdraft, his intuition keenly sensed something was wrong, the feeling of being spied on, malice, and the illusion of death.
This is even more terrifying than when the Pope liquidated him back then, at least the sense of death was not as strong back then.
'The pope successfully awakened the magic blood and became a wizard? Or did he form an ally with a wizard? ’ Archbishop Lorente guessed in his heart.
As for being controlled by a wizard, I never thought of this possibility at all.
In his subconscious mind, no one dared to attack a nobleman with the title of king and the pope of the church. The existence of the pinnacle of power is supreme.
Lorente realized that the times had changed, but he didn't realize how terrible the change was.
His knowledge of wizards is only on paper, and the threats that ordinary people who have awakened their magical blood can pose are similar to magic tricks.
At most, the problem of the thorny lion collar may be a little bigger, but it is definitely not able to stop the iron hoof of the expeditionary army.
Of course, thinking so, he naturally trusts his intuition more in practice, even if he loses power because of it.
No matter how good power is, it must be enjoyed with one's life.
After staying away from the Supreme Council, the palpitations finally disappeared.
'The other party should have seen me, or maybe they have discovered my thoughts, so they have to leave as soon as possible. ’ Llorente looked helpless.
Riding in a carriage, he returned home soon.
Before stepping into the manor, he sensed something was wrong.
It was so quiet, so quiet that sweat dripped from his forehead.
"It's not right, it's quite wrong." Lorente murmured in a low voice.
He didn't expect these things to happen.
"Sir, don't you want to go in?" The servant driving the car was a little puzzled.
"Don't go in, you go in and call out everyone." Lorente didn't dare to lift his foot. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn't feel anything wrong.
Although the servant was puzzled, he answered and entered the manor.
This wait lasted for half an hour, but the servant still hasn't come out yet.
"Fortunately, fortunately!" Lorente looked rejoiced, and immediately drove the carriage to leave.
He knew that even if he went in, nothing could be saved. The best way was to dispatch the expeditionary army over instead of rushing in foolishly. Doing so would only hit him.
The Archbishop of Discipline will certainly not refuse his request, and even if the results of the investigation are not successful, he can let the expeditionary force **** him back to the territory.
The loss of his wife and children certainly made him feel distressed, but compared to his own life, it was worthless.
Besides, in the territory, he still has sons, even if all his sons are dead, he still has illegitimate children, so there is no need to worry about having no heirs.
This made him turn and flee without hesitation.
Unfortunately, it is not so easy for him to leave.
Just after he drove the carriage for a hundred meters, he found that the whole world was plunged into emerald green, and the soil, clouds, and even flowers and trees all turned into emeralds.
An emotion called fear kept coming to my heart.
"Wizard wizard!" The supernatural existence made him think of the group of wizards for a moment.
"It's wrong, it's not a wizard." A female voice came.
The numbness of the voice made Lorente's bones go awry. Apart from giving him a familiar sense of weirdness, everything was fine.
Turning his head to look, he saw a familiar person gradually coming out from the reflection of the emerald. He recognized who that person was at a glance, even though the change was great.
"Heston, how did you become like this!" Lorente's eyes widened. The exquisite woman in front of him was his son, Heston Moonflower Silver Wolf.
"Certainly because I have given myself to him, my dear father."
In an instant, Histon appeared next to Lorente. The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, just like two brothers. Of course, the premise was that Heston was a beautiful woman and Lorente was an old man.
"You are really too perceptive. You never thought that even a small flaw could make you see the problem. If you honestly follow Brooke to the collar of the Emerald Tree, I don't have to come over to silence you." There are inconsistencies in Ston's words.
Lorente couldn't help but feel cold. Sure enough, there was a problem. He was running late.
"So, I want to be one of you too?" Lorente naturally knew that the emerald tree collar was the thorn lion collar, and he didn't explain why he wanted to leave, because it was meaningless, since the other party had already appeared and made a move, so he didn't There is no chance to leave.
"Yes, you seem to be prepared?" Histon asked curiously.
"If I'm prepared, I won't come back." Lorente said calmly. He knew that the person in front of him was no longer his son Histon, whether in body or soul.
"That's really boring." Hison looked regretful.
Lorente guessed what the other party was thinking. He just wanted to see himself lose his composure, such as impotent rage or frightened begging for mercy.
However, Llorente didn't show it at all. For him, since he was about to die, why should he be afraid of the other party.
"You are not invincible either. If you were, you wouldn't be sneaky. Let me think about who are you afraid of?" Lorente's mind started to spin, trying to find something.
"No, it's just that it's a little easier to do this way." Hison still had that charming look.
"Really? That might be my guess." Lorente looked at the green bracelet that appeared on his hand. He knew that this was the beginning of his assimilation. After all, he had no habit of wearing a bracelet at all, let alone This sudden appearance of the bracelet.
As for saying that the other party was afraid of someone, he quickly gave up thinking about it, because it was meaningless, and it was too late now.
Even if he knew about it, he still couldn't change his fate.
"You are so boring. The Pope is much more interesting than you." Heston did not intend to treat Llorent the same way Rust treated the Pope. After all, they are not the same individual, and there are still differences in personality, just like the texture of leaves on a tree.
