Tom took half a step back, bowed ninety degrees and said, "I will not let you down, Master."
David nodded and helped Tom up with a smile. This gave Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji a sense of confusion, as if Henry IV had just treated David like this.
Thinking of this, Cai Ji, who was standing at the back of the team, couldn't help but shake his head and whispered to him: "Ye Zi, do you think you can beat this Tom?"
"Why don't you ask me if I can beat David?" Ye Yuanfeng frowned and asked.
Cai Ji raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Ye Zi, unless you are the kind of genius swordsman who is rare to see in a century, I don't think you can defeat someone who has been on the battlefield and experienced countless life and death moments.
Veteran; as for this Tom, although he looks very jumpy, I can feel that he is bluffing, and I am sure that there is an 80% chance that he has never seen blood."
Speaking of this, Cai Ji pointed to his eyes and said: "My system has slightly strengthened my vision, so I just saw clearly the movements of Tom when he took action - the dagger he used at the beginning
It was very steady, as if it had been practiced thousands of times in advance, and it went straight to David's throat; but in the middle of the movement, Tom suddenly got scared and pressed the dagger down a little, so that he
Even if the dagger touched David's neck, it would only be a little superficial wound at most."
"Yes, I was paying attention to Tom's every move just now. I noticed that before he was about to take action, his eyes flashed with hesitation several times, and his hand also touched the dagger several times. This reminded me of what he had just started.
During the actual combat training, my master asked me to attack him with a sharpened knife, but I was too hesitant to do it."
Ye Yuanfeng sighed and said seriously: "I definitely can't beat David, because whether it was Tom's dagger or Callejon's sword just now, let alone blocking it with my sword.
It's good if your body can dodge a blow; as for Tom, if we were purely competing, then I would definitely be able to beat him, because I have the advantage in weapons, but if I change one and make it in this era
If Miao Dao comes out, or if I fight him with my life, I think the probability of losing is more than 50%!"
While Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji were whispering, David had simply completed the apprenticeship ceremony.
"From now on, Tom, you will be my apprentice, and your future achievements will definitely be no worse than your brother's."
David patted Tom on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's time for us to meet your brother, and then we can take him and another archbishop to the Vatican to expose Lord's conspiracy!"
Tom nodded, pointed forward and said, "My brother and the archbishop are hiding in the warehouse in front."
Five minutes later, Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji looked at Joan sitting opposite, and their expressions became strange, because to them, the bishop looked like a young woman disguised as a man, but Henry IV and others
Everyone treats "ta" as a man, even if Joan's accent sounds very feminine.
For a moment, neither Cai Ji nor Ye Yuanfeng knew whether they had made a mistake or whether Henry IV and others were pretending to be confused.
"Bishop Joan, I am Henry IV, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire."
After announcing his name, Henry IV said seriously: "The Knight of Lothric and I have been friends for many years, so when I heard that you and Archbishop Cromwell escaped from Canossa Castle, I decided to come back and help you hide.
We have to survive this catastrophe, so if there is nothing else, let’s leave here and go to the Vatican now.”
Joan nodded, stood up and said: "Since His Majesty has said so, then I would rather obey your orders respectfully; but I still have a question to ask Your Majesty, does the death of the Pope have anything to do with you?"
Henry IV frowned, not expecting Joan to suddenly ask him this question.
"Your Majesty, you don't know something. Joan and the Pope were both teachers and friends, so they were so concerned about the Pope's sudden death. Besides, except for Your Majesty, there were no other outsiders around the Canossa Castle at that time.
In addition, His Majesty, you came to see the Pope unwillingly this time, so many cardinals at that time believed that you had killed the Pope."
Looking at Henry IV, whose face was getting more and more ugly, Cromwell changed the topic and said: "Of course, when Lord began to put us red archbishops under house arrest and wanted to seize the throne of the pope, we knew that it would be harmful to him.
The person who killed the Pope was actually him, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to frame you, Your Majesty."
After hearing what Cromwell said, Henry IV's expression finally returned to its original state, "If I had the ability to kill the Pope in Canossa Castle, then I would not be forced to come to Canossa Castle to apologize to the Pope.
So I can tell you now clearly that the Pope’s death has nothing to do with me; if it had anything to do with it, I would have left the Papal States by now.”
Looking at Henry IV with a serious face, Joan sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to offend you."
Henry IV also sighed, shook his head and said: "It's okay, if I were you, I would also feel that I might be the murderer, because the timing of my arrival is such a coincidence; so let's set out now and fight for it.
Before Lord's people completely take control of the Vatican, win over those cardinal archbishops who don't know the truth to join you... Now my relationship with the Holy See is still very bad, so I can only send you to the Vatican and then return directly to Frank
Nia.”
"Then I'll prepare the horse now!"
Tom stood up and said: "My father has always thought that Joan might cause trouble, so he secretly raised several horses in the village to ensure that after Joan's accident, we could go to the Vatican as soon as possible and take him away."
"Then let me go with you. You can't handle so many horses by yourself." David stood up and said.
…
"Mu Yao, how come you, Joanne, don't look like a man at all? If you vote online, 100% of people will think that she is pretending to be a man." Liu Xing couldn't help complaining.
Mu Yao rolled her eyes, shook her head and said, "It seems like Liu Xing you don't understand my good intentions. You can't even understand my obvious thoughts."
ps: Two updates today, the second update will be in the evening.
