The late night in Rentat is not much different from other cities. Except for the cathedral and the aristocratic settlements that can see the eternal light, the rest of the places are "illuminated" by the silver moon or stars, so in this dark night where you can't see your fingers , Rentat was extraordinarily gloomy and quiet, except for the occasional flash of a lantern.
"Dark Blue Gift" Sharp stood by the French window in the bedroom, looking intently at the darkness outside, the darkness without any appreciation, as if it was the most important meaning of his life.
He raised his right hand and stroked the tumor-like protrusion on the bridge of his nose. His bright blue eyes were stained with a little anxiety. Others may not know that Alfonso, the giant of the referee, had led his personnel to go to hunt down the "Destroyer" "Tower" magician, but as the deputy head of the Knights of the "Sword of Truth", a duke, a nobleman, one of the king's most trusted subordinates, and a ninth-level golden knight, he has enough channels to know this fact. Therefore, he waiting for the result.
Dong dong dong, there was the sound of fast running footsteps, mixed with the sound of iron boots hitting the ground and nails colliding.
"Master..." The knight who came to report the news was panting heavily. It took him less than a minute to rush to Mr. Sharp's villa from nearby, "'Heart of Time' returned seriously injured, Alfonso and All the priests and night watchmen he brought with him died!"
"Heart of Time?" Sharp couldn't control his expression, and couldn't understand how he had something to do with Ketonia.
"This is news from inside the Glorious Cathedral. The specific circumstances are unknown." The knight said hastily, "Master Captain, Ketonia accused you of colluding with the magician and assassinating Alfonso. He could not be rescued, so he had to save His own life, he wants you to die!"
Within the Diocese of Holm, the royal family bought some bishops who were not very powerful and had an inconspicuous position, but were able to obtain and pass on some information at critical moments.
"Alfonso became suspicious, or someone betrayed the action plan to Ketonia. But since he has intervened, why is Alfonso still dead, and why is he seriously injured..." Sharp seemed to be in a daze , Forgot that he was in danger, and tried his best to figure out what was going on.
bang! The knight who reported the message suddenly knelt down on one knee, the armor on his knee hit the floor fiercely, and said with a slight cry: "Master, you run away, the church will definitely not let you go, they need a man who failed in action." 'Sacrifice'. They will send you to the stake! Just hide until His Majesty returns. You will be innocent!"
"... If I run away, it will be equivalent to admitting the crime. I don't believe that the church can condemn a duke to death without evidence and only with the nonsense of the magician. That will make all the nobles fear and chill. After a moment of silence, Sharp restrained his doubts, apprehensions and worries, and said to the knights under his command with the temperament of a leader as usual.
The failure of the operation, the arrest of a magician, and the betrayal of himself was a situation he expected. He was fully prepared and believed that under the protection of His Majesty the King, nothing would happen to him. The only thing that made him a little uneasy was that the accusation came from another duke, the epic knight Ketonia, and the weight was much heavier than expected!
Bang, the floor-to-ceiling windows made a slight sound. A ball of raging fire flew from a distance, penetrated directly into it, and turned into a fierce and burly man with a short cut.
"Master, head, run away! A cardinal has proposed to arrest you!" He is Sharp's deputy, a seventh-level sky knight, "Burning Demon Flame" Gu Jufu.
Sharp clenched his right hand quietly, and his tone was still calm: "Don't worry, this is a routine arrest and interrogation. They have no evidence, and I will be fine. If I run away now, I will never be able to tell."
"My lord, you can't trust the church. How many nobles have they directly judged and executed in the past who were only suspected!" Although Gu Jufu of "Burning Demon Flame" admired the deputy head for being calm and steady at such a critical juncture, but This couldn't calm his anxiety, maybe "Angel of Grace" Franz would come over in person soon!
Sharp shook his head, and quietly clenched the handle of the long sword with his left hand: "Those are all nobles below the earl, and I am a duke conferred by His Majesty the King himself."
"My lord..." Gu Jufu wished he could drag the deputy leader to escape, but Sharp's firm attitude made him hesitate, "Why don't you hide in the Nexa Palace first, I believe that the church will not dare to break in by force, and then wait His Majesty has returned."
"Ah." Sharp was a little moved.
At this moment, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, and there was a young man with thinning hair standing on end in the bedroom. There were streaks of silvery white lightning around his body, and his pupils and complexion were an unusually silvery color: "Captain My lord, the Glorious Cathedral has decided not to arrest you, but to send a cardinal secretly to appease you."
He is Sharp's other deputy, "Punishment of Pure Silver" Cesc.
"What?" The surprised voices were "Burning Flame" Gu Jufu and the knight who arrived first.
"The situation has changed?" Sharp, the leader, was also very shocked, but on the surface he still tried to pretend to be calm and calm.
"Sterling Silver Punishment" Cesc shrugged: "I don't know, the core news has yet to be inquired about, maybe they decided to respect nobles..."
There was a strong irony in his words.
Not long after, a cardinal came and conveyed the condolences of His Excellency Franz, the "Angel of Grace" to Sharp, telling him that the evil magician "Lord of Death" set a trap and seriously injured His Excellency Cthonia. Killed Alfonso and other clergy, and deliberately spread that this is his cooperation with you, trying to destroy the relationship between the church and the nobles, but "Angel of God" is a saint favored by the Lord, wise and upright, and has not been affected by rumors at all Please don't be provoked by the deputy leader, but trust in the justice of the Lord.
After sending the cardinal away with a smile, Sharp turned and entered the bedroom, his face became extremely solemn, and he said to "Punishment of Pure Silver" and other three subordinates: "There must be something else happening, go and find out!"
He probably understands that this operation is a trap set by the magician, the target is not Alfonso at all, but "Heart of Time" Cthonia, and even "Death Lord", the former legendary pinnacle, has been dispatched. It was tens or hundreds of times worse than I expected! Therefore, it is impossible for me to pass the test so lightly. There must be other factors mixed up to cause this result, and this is likely to be a more important and far-reaching event than this incident.
After the three subordinates left, Sharp paced back and forth, not even in the mood to watch the night outside. A touch of anxiety spread uncontrollably.
The sky suddenly lit up, lightning flashed away, and "Punishment of Pure Silver" Cesc appeared in the bedroom.
Sharp restrained his emotions and maintained his image as the leader: "What did you find out?"
"There was a great battle in Tria, and the Pope used the divine descent technique twice to repel and severely injure 'Silver Moon' Etna, and killed Abel..." Cesc narrated with a face full of shock.
"What?" Sharp could no longer maintain his image, and exclaimed, "Silver Moon" did it? And then defeated
Cesc didn't care to repeat, and continued: "But the Pope's condition is not good. He returned to Lance. The legendary magician, the blood prince, the ancient dragon, etc. flew over Tria. They directly attacked Lance, and the battle was tense. .”
This is a step further than what "Angel of Grace" Franz said before, because new information has been transmitted from Lance.
"So that's how it is..." Sharp said in a low voice, and then comforted Cesc who was slightly panicked. "Unless there is a god-like action, Lance will not be so easy to break through. When the lords from the Tria front line return, things will calm down, but I don't know what happened to the Pope..."
Soon, "Burning Demon Flame" Gu Jufu returned: "My lord, the Pavilion of the 'King of Angels' descended to the holy city of Lance, and used God, God's protection to block the ancient time dragon Danisus, Dracula, The attack of legendary powerhouses such as the Elf Queen and the 'Sun King'."
This "Sun King" is only the third level of legend. Not the original Thanos.
"My lord, His Majesty the King, St. Griffith, St. Ivan, 'Shield of Truth', Rudolph, etc. rushed back from Tria and completely repelled the attacks of the magicians and the Dark Alliance." The first The knight finally came back with the latest news.
"His Majesty the Pope didn't do anything, it seems that the situation is really bad..." Sharp analyzed softly. Suddenly, he laughed loudly, "No wonder they let me go so easily. At this time, the help of the nobles is urgently needed on this side of the strait, and the same goes for the westward war!"
"Yes, congratulations, Commander." The first knight said happily.
Sharp smiled all over his face and looked at the three trusted subordinates: "It's not my happiest thing not to be judged, can you guess what I'm happiest about?"
"A stalemate in the Westward War?" "Burning Demon Flame" Gu Jufu replied uncertainly.
"Silver Moon was also severely injured?" The first knight was still full of admiration and admiration for the church, the pope, and God's Arrival.
"Sterling Silver Punishment" Cesc was silent for a while and said, "Master, are you happy that these two things show the power of the nobility? The power that even the cardinal will be vigilant, win over and fear?"
"Yes." Sharp looked back out of the window, the thick darkness did not know how many secrets were hidden, "I just found out today that our power is so strong, even if I really killed Alfonso, they would still take it." I do not know what to do."
In the face of the vice captain deliberately revealing his heart and revealing his crimes, the three knights glanced at each other and knelt down on one knee: "Nobility is supreme!"
…
"First, Abel and Dracula set a trap to surprise the Pope, then use themselves as bait to consume the Pope's 'God's Arrival', and finally let Abel and Dracula kill the weak Pope. The plan is good, but 'Silver Moon' is much softer than I imagined. Isn't he afraid of being directly wiped out by the 'God's Arrival Technique'? Or is he so confident in the god-like immortality? Moreover, he is so sure that the Pope cannot use the 'God's Descent Technique' twice in a row. Subduing technique'?" After listening to the "Silver Eye Earl" describe this simple but effective plan, the "Death Lord" half sighed and half tentatively asked.
The beautiful blood with the title of "Earl of Silver Eyes" smiled and said: "Because he has a certain understanding of the power and aftereffects of the 'God Descent' technique, during the Battle of Antiphole, the ancestor has been watching nearby, but did not do anything, and did not I have been around Lance for a long time, but unfortunately, I still made a mistake in my judgment."
