That night, the Chinese Palace on Queen's Island in Northern Europe was a little more deserted than before.
Miao Chengyun and Yun Xiu'er have already left, Su Nianqiu is the only one who is still compiling textbooks in the Chinese Palace tonight.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Dylan came over.
Since Su Nianqiu came to Northern Europe, these few days she and Di Lan met during the day, often attending ceremonies together, and went to the China Palace to compile textbooks with senior brothers and sisters at night.
The two wives of the Lin family didn't have a chance to talk properly recently. Su Nianqiu knew that Di Lan was coming tonight, so he should see her off in private.
This is also the last night that Su Nianqiu will stay here. Early tomorrow morning, according to Lin Hechun's arrangement, she will set off to Eastern Europe to intercept someone.
Su Nianqiu and Di Lan were as good as two sisters in front of Lin Shuo.
Even if they occasionally compete for favors, it is to the point. It is not so much jealousy as it is to increase the interest in the bed.
In private, the two of them don't communicate much at ordinary times. It's not that the relationship between the two is very stiff, but that they are responsible for different affairs in the Lin family, and they are busy with their own things.
Like tonight, there are not many people who can sit down and have a long talk.
They were also not used to chatting without Lin Shuo present, and when they first sat face to face, the two of them were somewhat embarrassed.
Because as soon as he saw the face of the other party, he couldn't help but think of Lin Shuo's broad chest.
After all, Di Lan's temperament was more outgoing, first he broke the silence, and said: "Sister, don't worry about Su Dongdong.
No matter how far Lin Shuo's thoughts go, as long as our sisters work together, we can always pull him back.
At worst, I will become her at night, I don't believe that Su Dongdong's kung fu is as good as mine. "
Su Nianqiu's self-cultivation is no longer what it used to be, and he said quietly: "According to what you said, I will still have to call your sister at night?"
"That's not necessary." Di Lan laughed so hard, "Lin Shuo can just call."
"Don't make any more trouble." Su Nianqiu gave Di Lan a white look, "Let's get down to business."
Dylan straightened his expression and said, "According to the latest information provided by Erwin, there is something wrong with the three people from the European Holy See who went to Eastern Europe to assist Lin Shuo this time."
"What's the problem?" Su Nianqiu asked.
"It's not clear yet." Dylan said, "Erwin said that the Holy See sent out this time, in fact, four people, one of the Knights of the Hospital Knights, the Silver Cross Knight, fell to his death while parachuting.
And this person is the personal guard of God's Blessed Knight, and his cultivation base is very good.
According to Erwin's speculation, he should have delivered a piece of information to Su Dongdong according to the order of the Divine Blessed Knight. "
"Why did the Blessed Knight pass on information to Su Dongdong?" Su Nianqiu was puzzled.
"You've got to the point." Dylan said, "Erwin said, in fact, over the years, the Hospital Knights and Assassin's Creed have always had close ties and are staunch allies.
In terms of intelligence, the two sides have always exchanged what they need.
In fact, this is also easy to understand, both of them are trying to survive in the cracks of the three major sects.
One exists on the bright side, mediating the relationship between the three major sects.
The other is in the dark, dealing with things that the three major sects are inconvenient to do openly.
Light and darkness seem to be opposites, but in such a complicated situation in Europe, it is normal for them to hug each other for warmth.
The previous assassination by Su Dongdong at the gate of the Chinese Palace was also a coordinated operation of the Hospital Knights, and Erwin knew about it. "
Su Nianqiu approved Dylan's judgment, and then said: "Did Erwin say what information the Blessed Knight wants to convey to Su Dongdong?"
Dylan shook his head: "Erwin was sent to Northern Europe a long time ago. He can't get in touch with God's Blessed Knight at the moment, so he just knows that there is such a thing. He doesn't know what kind of information it is."
"Oh." Su Nianqiu nodded, "That's no wonder, the brothers and sisters will be sent to that place this morning, and it should be to verify this information."
"Where did Miao Chengyun and Yun Xiu'er go?" Di Lan couldn't help asking.
"The headquarters of the Tianzheng sect." Su Nianqiu said softly.
…
The headquarters of the Orthodox Church is located in the largest city on the Apennine Peninsula.
Compared with the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller not far away, the headquarters of the Orthodox Church is a little more luxurious, because after all, the Malta Palace of the Knights Hospitaller is leased, and the land only has the right to use but not ownership.
The Tianzheng sect has a real country. Although the land is not big, it is at least its own.
This is a country within a city, and it is also the smallest and least populous country in the world, with a land area of only 0.44 square kilometers.
The headquarters of the Tianzheng sect, the core building is St. Peter's Basilica, also known as the Tianzheng Hall, which was built in the early 16th century and is a place of religious pilgrimage for one-sixth of the world's population.
The main function of this temple is a place for religious ceremonies, and above the second floor is also the office of the clergy.
The Tianzheng Pope does not usually work here, but in the Sistine Chapel in the Tianzheng Palace behind.
The highest clergyman working here is the righteous saint Helen.
Recently, this southern European saint water lily has been particularly busy.
Because the Tianzheng Pope is away, she is taking care of the affairs of the entire religious country.
Today, everyone understands that the old pope is sixty years old, and this saint is impeccable in terms of practice and ability to handle affairs. She should be the next pope, and she will also be the first in the history of the Orthodox sect. The first female pope.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Helen's day's work came to an end. She was sealing the envelopes of secret orders and stamping the red wax seals one by one.
Holding a golden seal with her slender fingers, her movements are elegant and swift.
After finishing all this, Helen looked at another stack of envelopes on the table with a helpless expression.
This stack of envelopes was different from the letters she had dealt with before, with various sizes and colors.
These are petitions from Orthodox female believers, and the content of their wish is to sleep with the divinely blessed knight in the palace of Malta next door.
More than 20 years ago, when Helen was a baby, the Holy See did not know who spread the news. Sleeping with the God-blessed Knight, who was cultivated to the sky, would not only bless her for life, but would also be seduced after death. to heaven.
The news spread like wildfire, and the more it spread, the more it seemed like that.
Since then, petitions from such female believers have been sent to the heads of the three major sects in an endless stream.
At the beginning, of course, the higher-ups of the Holy See refused, but after a group sit-in, dozens of female believers committed suicide and died, forcing the Divine Blessed Knight to come out and express his opinion that he could sleep with her.
At that time, the old man was over sixty, and now he is eighty-six years old.
But no matter how old a cow is, it has to plow the fields. In the past, Helen didn't care about it. If she randomly picked out a few letters, it would be considered as a flop for the God Blessed Knight.
But now, as far as Helen knows, the old man went out to fight with others, and he hasn't come back until today, his life or death is unknown.
Helen really didn't know what to do with the petitions that had just been collected tonight.
But today's official work is over, she is relieved after all, now is off work time, these petitions are just for fun.
He randomly pulled out one, took out the letter paper inside and spread it out.
Looking at the words on the letter paper, and smelling it again, hey, this is a blood book.
The female believer who wrote the letter is forty-three this year, and claims to be still perfect.
Twenty years ago, she started writing such petitions.
In the past twenty years, she has sent one petition almost every month, and has sent out more than 300 petitions.
The result is also point back, not drawn once.
This time the old girl became ruthless, and said that she would not let her wish come true, so she ran to the gate of the Tianzheng Hall to prostitute.
Helen smiled after reading the petition, then threw it into the trash can beside the table.
"Sister, it's inappropriate for you to do this."
In the room, suddenly a man spoke.
Helen turned pale with fright, looked up hastily, and found that someone had already sat on the chair opposite her desk.
This is an oriental man with a smile on his face and looks quite handsome.
But no matter how handsome the man in front of him was, Helen was not in the mood to appreciate it.
The Holy Maiden's Office is not an ordinary place. A practitioner of the Orthodox sect is well guarded. This person came as soon as he said it, and with his own cultivation, he didn't notice it at all.
There was a trace of fear in Helen's heart, but her face was still calm, and she asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am." The man waved his hand and said earnestly with an American English accent, "The key is that you can't throw away this letter, how pious I am, it's not easy for a forty-three-year-old girl, listen to me Yes, pick it up and promise to others."
Now Helen knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
It didn't seem too much to listen to the other party's request, so Helen turned sideways to look at the petition in the wastebasket, and reached out to take it.
She knew very well that this was just delaying time.
"Hey!" Helen turned her head, and the man opposite spoke, "Keep this posture, don't move."
Helen froze, not daring to move, and asked, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"You look pretty," the man said.
"You..." Helen's reaction was not slow at this moment, and she immediately said, "If you are greedy for my beauty, it's easy to say, but don't stay here, you follow me to my bedroom."
"Hey, a dignified saint is so easy to talk about?" The man sighed, "If it was in the past, brother, I might as well play with you, but unfortunately I can't do it now. After getting married, my wife is watching downstairs. If I dare to peel off your clothes, she can peel off my skin."
"Miao Chengyun, hurry up, what are you talking to her about?" A woman's voice came from downstairs, but it was a pity that it was in Chinese, and Helen couldn't understand it.
Miao Chengyun, who was opposite Helen, naturally understood. He shrank his neck, then slowly stretched out his hand, and said, "Sister, your face can fool others, but not me. I'm an expert in plastic surgery. An expert, I can tell at a glance whether a person has tampered with his face or not."
While talking, Miao Chengyun touched Helen's side face with his hand, then reached out and lifted it, and then lifted off a human skin mask.
Miao Chengyun weighed this human skin mask in his hand, then looked it over, and nodded: "The craftsmanship is pretty good, enough to distinguish the real one from the real one, but it's a pity that the fake one can't be the real one. You're not Helen, who are you?"
"Helen" who had been stripped of her human skin mask now turned her face sideways, and her real face was also very beautiful, with blond hair and blue eyes, and her facial features were even somewhat similar to Helen's.
It's just these subtle differences, the difference is thousands of miles away, and if you look at it together, the beauty will be far worse.
The blond woman trembled slightly and said, "My name is Catherine."
"You are Helen's younger sister?" Miao Chengyun confirmed.
"right."
