Lord clapped his hands and said: "No wonder His Majesty treats you two foreigners as brothers; yes, my thoughts are exactly the same as what you said. If I don't stand up and take the blame for Your Majesty, then Franconia will
We have to go to war with the Papal State, and today's Franconia definitely has no chance of winning, because those traitors will definitely overthrow the Papal State as soon as possible. As for the other princes of the Holy Roman Empire, they should not come to make trouble.
It’s settled.”
At this point, Lord sighed and continued: "But then again, I was actually ready to assassinate the Pope, because when I heard that His Majesty was going to see the Pope to seek forgiveness, on the first
I immediately ran to find the Pope to gossip and wanted to hear what he thought about this. As a result, he told me that his idea was very simple, that is, he was going to use you as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to enhance his prestige, so
I plan to make you stand outside Canossa Castle for three days and three nights, and then I will stand up and forgive you."
"Wang Defa?!"
Henry IV said with a shocked look on his face: "Isn't this Pope too cruel? He is actually planning to leave me hanging outside the castle for three days and three nights? If it were summer, it would be okay. I would be okay if I stood there for seven days and seven nights.
; But it’s winter now, and even if I wear a thick coat, I can’t last more than a day and a night, and the root of the disease may come back after I go back.”
"So I have arranged several Ottoman killers. If His Majesty has stood outside for a day and a night, and the Pope is still not satisfied, I will arrange for those killers to sneak into Canossa Castle to attack the Pope. Anyway, Canossa Castle
I am responsible for all the security work, and those Ottomans also have reason to assassinate the Pope, after all, the Ottomans have never stopped doing so over the years."
Having said this, Lord looked at Cai Ji who looked confused and asked: "Uh, my friend, do you have any opinions on my plan?"
Cai Ji, who was suddenly called out, shook his head and said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't expect that I could hear the country of Ottoman here."
"Huh? I got a reply from Callejon before. He said that you and the gentleman next to you both stayed on the continent of Europa because they were caught by pirates. So if nothing else happens, the pirates who caught you should have
It's the Ottomans. After all, the Ottomans are either pirates or bandits." Lord said seriously.
Before Cai Ji could speak, Henry IV stood up and said, "Uncle Lord, actually Cai Ji and Ye Yuanfeng did not stay in Europa because of pirates. They were actually sent by the gods to help me."
Then, Henry IV told Lord everything that happened yesterday, which shows that Henry IV still trusts Lord very much.
"I see, I was wondering why I couldn't find out why the Pope died. It turns out it was Mr. Cai Ji who used magic."
Facing the surprised Lord, Cai Ji quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, Mr. Lord, you think too highly of me. I am just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse. I was lucky enough to kill the Pope."
, this is not even a magical skill, and no matter what I say, it cannot compare to the contribution you have made while hiding incognito these years, Mr. Lord."
After exchanging compliments with Lorde, the topic returned to Lorde.
"After I accepted the mission from Your Majesty your father, I originally planned to be an ordinary priest first, and then find opportunities to slowly rise to the top. But I didn't expect that I had just arrived at the Vatican and was assigned to be in charge of this monastery.
Renovation work, because in order to pave the way for my superior position, I deliberately showed some of my abilities when I entered the church, such as my attainments in architecture and mathematics. As a result, when I came to this monastery, I found that this monastery
Lord, the abbot of the monastery, and I have a very similar build."
"The most important thing is that after Lord presides over the renovation of the monastery, he will go to the Holy See to serve. At that time, the position of the abbot of the monastery will be vacant, so I targeted this monastery at the beginning.
As dean, unexpectedly a fire changed my mind; the cause of the fire was that Lord had to submit a report to the Holy See the next day, and there was a lot to be written in this report.
, so Lord had no choice but to light the oil lamp and work all night long."
"Perhaps because he was too tired during the day, Lord lay in bed and rested for a while, and asked the priest responsible for the night watch to wake him up after an hour or two; but not long after, the mouse knocked over the oil lamp.
In addition, due to the renovation, many books were piled in Lord's room. For these reasons, Lord's room suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and the fire spread quickly, and
After I was woken up, I immediately joined the ranks of fire fighters... When I learned that Lord's room was the first point of fire, I had a bold idea."
"I am an action person, and I will do whatever I think of immediately, so I poured a bucket of water on myself and rushed into the fire scene. I ran directly to Lord's room, only to find that Lord had already suffered from alcohol poisoning.
I was smoked to death from too much smoke, which made me sad and happy at the same time. The sad thing is that Lord is a good man, and the time I spent with him was very pleasant. The reason for my happiness is very simple, that is
I can replace his identity and become a core member of the Holy See, although I have to make a bet that I will only be disfigured and will not be burned to death like Lord... Fortunately, I won the bet."
Lord touched his disfigured face and continued: "To be honest, I still remember the feeling when the fire burned my body, especially when the fire climbed up my face, I had to close my eyes and it was painful.
The darkness swallowed me up instantly, and then I didn’t know what I was doing. I only knew that I was running in one direction. If I hit the wall, I would change the direction. Then when I heard other people’s voices, I ran directly
Passed out."
After hearing what Lord said, Ye Yuanfeng and others felt chills running down their backs, because they could not imagine how much determination and courage Lord had to make such a decision.
"Risk and reward always coexist. If I didn't risk death, I wouldn't be able to become a cardinal now."
ps: I’m exhausted both physically and mentally during this period, so I plan to take advantage of my sister’s wedding in these two days to take a break... I’ll just update the singles from today to Sunday. I hope you can understand.
