In a month
Hearing President Alvin's whisper, Roja's brows couldn't help but frowned. After a moment of silence, the black-haired boy nodded gently.
Perhaps seeing Roja’s expression is too solemn, perhaps Alvin himself has confidence in the Holy See, the middle-aged man added after this sentence:
"According to the news from our side, neither the Holy See nor the palace is in chaos, and it doesn't look like something major has happened. So although His Royal Highness has disappeared, the matter should not be as serious as you imagined, Master Luo Ya."
"Well, I understand, thanks to Chairman Alvin for his help."
"You are polite, for the sake of our friendship, this is what I should do."
The middle-aged businessman smiled in response to Luo Ya's thanks, and his friendly look made people feel good. The black-haired boy shook his head and sighed the old fried dough sticks, and at the same time, he relaxed a little.
The Sorovia family owns Shia's largest intelligence network, and has specialized intelligence analysis talents for the royal families of various countries. Although they dare not be too presumptuous in the religious country, they should still be able to do it just by investigating the atmosphere.
Noelle, as a princess of a country, had too many people involved in the incident, and it was almost impossible to hide it. Since the Sorovia family said that there was no major incident in the Holy See, then Noelle’s situation must still be there. Within the controllable range.
I think of Luo Ya's expression here a lot better. At present, based on the information collected from all aspects, everything does not seem to be the worst. In fact, if you think about it, your blood will be promoted to gold. It seems normal that even a little bit of twists and turns is a bit of a major event that few people can understand in Xiya.
Roja has the system, so he doesn’t suffer much in terms of bloodlines, but for ordinary transcendents to promote bloodlines, many have to endure huge risks and pains. It’s good to stay in bed for one month, and maybe even a promotion failure. Risk of loss of life.
Of course, Noelle, as one of Shia’s destiny sons, is theoretically impossible to encounter such a thing, but promotion to the golden bloodline will inevitably have a price that needs to be paid. Roja has a talent for his own queen. Absolute confidence, the reason for thinking about it now, after all, is still careless.
If you change this situation to someone else, let alone one month or three months without seeing Roja, you will probably feel normal. After all, compared with the power brought by the golden blood, no matter what happens is possible, but when this person is replaced by With the blond angel, everything is different.
The more you care, the more worried you are, and Luo Ya cannot avoid this.
With a silent sigh, the black-haired boy, led by President Alvin, entered the chamber to rest, and at the same time quietly waited for the night to come.
-------------------------------------------------
With the royal family crest ring, it is true that you can directly meet the Holy See John, but if the secret action is the premise, the way and the method are naturally involved.
He took the ring and ran directly to the gate of the Holy See. Of course, Roja could also see the Holy See, but his arrival would be known to everyone. Of course Roja would not do things that were obviously contrary to the meaning of the Lord of the Holy See. So he needs to wait a while.
In the holy capital, the entire Holy See plus the various departments of the palace, there are dozens of various institutions, some of which have names like Leiguaner, and some of them are unknown, but I want to meet with the Holy See in secret, Roja’s There is only one choice.
That is the court.
The court, the base camp of the judges, are mostly fierce and evil, but they are some of the most pious believers, because they are fighters on the front line fighting cults.
Speaking and doing it by hand are different from the beginning. Some people may be able to stick to their heart in their daily lives, but in the face of temptation, danger and other emergencies, they will expose their inner heart. Weak and depraved, but the judges proved themselves with practical actions and maintained the "Tao" in their hearts.
As the salaried semi-standing army in the church department, the inquisitors face far more dangers than the ordinary army of any country. The ordinary soldiers fight on the battlefield, but for the inquisitors, every moment in their lives Every moment is on the battlefield.
Cultists are not enemy troops. They will not stand up for a fair duel. Hidden in the crowd is their greatest advantage, but they have also become the greatest disadvantage of the judges.
The judges who sacrificed on the frontal battlefield may not have as many judges who were silently assassinated in their daily lives. This is the consensus of the judges. Every year, there will be fledgling newcomers who die outside the battlefield because of carelessness. But even so, The successors never stop.
In a society with positive feedback, under the core values of [kindness], people who seek justice and kindness may continue to fall, but more people stand up. Those who fall are handed over to the next generation. Passed down from generation to generation like a spark, the so-called evil does not suppress the righteousness, just like this.
For these warriors who sacrificed silently in the dark, Roja has a high respect in his heart. Some of them are incognito and withdrawn, and some of them have a hideous and distorted face due to vicious spells, but the nobility of the soul is not the result of the flesh. What can be restricted, in Luo Ya's eyes, they are all lights, and only such a place can he dare to come with confidence.
Of course, in the face of major events related to Noelle, Roja will not decide based on his own preferences. Another reason why he came to the court is that from a rational point of view, it is also the best choice.
The Tribunal is an agency directly under the Holy See and is directly responsible to the Holy See. The judges in the Tribunal are all military personnel. They attach more importance to military secrets than other departments. If Roja is John the Holy See, it must be the order for the people here and He approached.
In the cold night wind, the wind lanterns at the entrance of the court swayed with the cold wave of early winter, reflecting the light and dark on the ground ahead. The black-haired boy in a cloak wandered into the door of this quiet place, like walking into a street. The tavern is just as natural.
The court is different from other institutions of the Holy See. There is no guard at the door, or in other words, there is no guard at the door that can be seen.
At the moment of entering this majestic building, Roja felt no less than ten eyes from all directions staring at him, but behind the gate, there was only one guard in uniform sitting silently behind the table. Calmly and solemnly, asked his identity sharply.
"This gentleman, please report your name, show relevant items that can prove your identity, and tell the purpose of coming here."
"Roya Akat, come and meet your director."
The young man took off his hood as he said so, and reached out his hand and took out the identity certificate prepared in advance, and just as he expected, the judge at the door did not show any surprise at Roja’s arrival, and even heard it. His name instantly gave Roya a feeling of relaxation.
"Master Loya, I need to report."
"Um."
After nodding and agreeing to the guard, Roja stood quietly in the hall. The black-haired boy did not speak to the judges hidden everywhere, nor did he make any movements that might stimulate the nerves of others. Silently closed their eyes and rested their minds, while the people in the shadows looked at each other, with awe in their eyes.
Today is different from the past. After winning the Challenger Cup, Roja’s influence has surged and he has become one of the representatives of the entire Saint Mestre State. His relationship with the royal family is very close. It can be said that it is now going on. The upstarts of the time, and it is obvious that Roja has already discovered them. If the young man speaks, even these judges who are used to seeing strong winds and waves will not be able to continue monitoring.
However, Roja didn't do this, and he didn't even look around, showing that he was cooperating with them. This behavior made the judges feel good.
As time went by, the feeling of being watched on the teenager faded a little bit. Soon after the guard returned and led Roja into the depths of the referee's office, the two people walked through the room and the corridor one after the other, and finally came to a room just lighting up. In the dark room of the desk lamp, deep in the room, a red-haired man stared at Loya calmly with a serious face.
"I'm Hanks Gray, the head of the court, welcome you, Mr. Roja."
"Thank you for your kindness, Earl Hanks. Please forgive me for this sudden visit. I have already heard of your name. It is my honor to meet."
In the room after the guard left, the black-haired boy and the red-haired man greeted each other. The voice of Hanks who spoke first was calm and slightly indifferent, while Roja was well-mannered, only mentioning the title of Hanks. At that time, the head of the referee, whose personal information was vague, couldn't help but stop.
As the person in charge of this important position of the court, Hanks is one of the most important ministers of the Church, but he rarely shows up in front of others. In fact, this young man is not only the position of the Holy See, he is also a noble and nobleman of the court. It is the earl.
There is no fief in the court, and Hanks’ family has been engaged in secret work for generations. Therefore, few people know his title. There is basically only one possibility for a foreign aristocrat like Roja to know this, and that is the promise of the princess. Al or the Holy See and others have mentioned it to him.
In a short sentence, Roja made the suspicious head of the referee feel the full trust of the Hizkrit royal family, and Hanks who noticed this changed his attitude slightly and stood up and shook hands with Roja. shake hands.
"Mr. Roja, can you tell me what is it for you to come to the court suddenly this time?"
"...To the appointment."
"Oh? Going to the appointment?"
"Yes, it's a promise brought by a ring."
The black-haired young man reached into his arms and took out the exquisite wooden box, and displayed the family ring of Hizkrit in front of Hanks for confirmation. The red-haired man leaned slightly to salute while looking at the ring, and then calmed down. The Tao:
"I understand, then Lord Luoya, please come with me."
-------------------------------------------------- --------
An hour later, Roja secretly went to a familiar but unexpected place under the arrangement of Hanks-St. Mestre's King's Palace.
Yes, it’s not the headquarters of the Holy See the last time I saw Father John, but the city of Holy White belonging to the Hezcrete family. This may be a minor change in some people’s eyes, but it is hidden in Roja’s eyes. Deep meaning.
If the meeting is at the headquarters of the Holy See, then the identity of Father John is the Holy See. This time Roja will face an official secret mission, but if it is in the palace, then the identity of Father John is the king and Hizk. Ritter’s Patriarch, this meeting has become a more private meeting.
If you think about it this way, the ring sent this time is also something from the Hizkrit family and not from the Holy See, probably because this meeting was a unilateral invitation from the royal family.
The palace of Santo Lorraine is still well maintained this year. According to legend, the building with the same color as angel feathers remains holy in the winter night. The red-haired chief of the court Hanks led Roja walking around the empty palace. 'S guards have obviously been replaced by members of the court.
The two people who went unimpeded all the way did not speak much. Roja was due to many speculations in his heart, and Hanks was because of his own silence and solemnity, and did not know if it was an illusion. Roja always felt that the magistrate was right. His attitude is somewhat subtle.
From the perspective of the same close relationship with the royal family, Hanks, as a court nobleman, should be close to Roja, but in this more than an hour, Roja always felt that this man was more observant of him. , Even with a little vigilance.
Occupational disease
The young man with the word in his mind raised his eyebrows, but he didn't pay much attention. After all, he suspected that spirit was the self-protection method of the judges. If Hanks and him kindly waited to worship the handle, Roja would find it strange.
"Master Loya, Your Majesty the Holy See is inside. Please help yourself. I'll wait outside the door."
"I see, thank you Earl for your escort."
Nodded politely to the man who was accompanying him, Roja looked ahead and observed the location of this place. Unlike the Basilica of St. Cecil, which was fortunate to be visited a few years ago, the gates here are not wide. I'm afraid it is the private meeting room on the side of the throne. It is usually a place where the king discusses affairs with his close ministers.
After tidying up his appearance a little, after signaling to the guard at the door, the door decorated with gold and mahogany finally slowly opened. Roja, who wandered into the room, found a guest and sat down, looking at the exquisite ornaments on the nearby wall, waiting intently After a while, the door in the direction between the thrones opened, and the white-haired old man wandered into the room.
"Long time no see, Your Majesty John, thank you for this interview..."
"Okay, boy, there are only two of us here, so don't be so polite."
Looking at the young man who stood up and leaned over to salute respectfully, the white-haired old man smiled and waved his hand, sitting on the main seat without any pretentiousness, and at the bottom, Luo Ya also raised his mouth and straightened up, changing his name. The Tao:
"Grandpa John, haven't seen you for half a year, are you okay?"
"Well, my body is still tough, but you, but this time seems to have grown taller again."
The old and the young exchanged a few happily after a long time, and the atmosphere was like a child returning from school and the grandfather next door, making Luo Ya feel a lot of emotion for a while.
The Holy See, John, can be said to be the elder who cared for Roja the most except Cardia. The good relationship between Noelle and Roja over the years is to some extent the result of the support of Grandpa John, and this is also the case. After getting a hint, Roja decided to come here immediately because the Holy See would never disadvantage him.
This kind of relationship between the elders and juniors is something that Luo Ya cherishes, and looking at the smile on the face of the old man in the seat, the black-haired boy feels that his heart is finally a little more stable.
Still laughing like this means that it shouldn't be a serious matter.
Roja, who judged this way, reached out and took out the wooden box, put the ring with the Hizkrit family crest on the table, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Grandpa John, let me come next time or not use this method. I was shocked when I received it."
"Haha, originally you won the Challenger Cup championship this time. I wanted to call you upright, but something happened midway. I had to let you reduce your attention and come here in secret, let you be a teacher. The heroes who won the glory of the country lacked flowers and applause. It is indeed because I did not do well."
"You are serious. Although the flowers and applause are good, I don't have strong attachments. I just don't dare to accept this ring as a gift for an outsider."
"Anyone? Haha, that's not necessarily true."
The white-haired old man glanced at the young man with deep meaning, thinking of the room where his granddaughter specializes in storing letters in these years, the corners of his mouth were raised.
"Actually, I won the championship this time. It was also the order of Her Royal Highness. But after returning to China, I heard that His Royal Highness hadn't shown up for a long time, and the letter could not be contacted. Grandpa John, may I ask if Noelle is... . "
The black-haired boy stared at the old man opposite with a serious face, and couldn't help but bring some concern in his tone. Seeing this, the white-haired old man nodded in his heart and smiled.
"Child, I know your worries. This time I sent you to the sacred city because of this incident. Noel has not appeared in public for more than a month, and it is inevitable that there are concerns from the outside world."
"Grandpa John, could it be...what happened to Noelle when he was promoted to the bloodline?"
Feeling the dignity in the old man's words, Roja couldn't help but put forward his own guess, but the Holy See was silent when he heard the words.
"Well, it's still within the scope of being able to handle it so far, but... I have some bad feelings."
"A bad premonition?"
"Well, the severity of the matter may be more than expected in the future."
The white-haired old man sighed when he thought of the girl's situation, and looked at Luo Ya with a solemn face:
"Noelle, angelic."
