Outside the underground confessional, Leonard was wearing a knee-length windbreaker and a white shirt that was not tucked into his trousers. He had a decadent temperament and was more unruly. His black hair was messy, his handsome features were full of exhaustion, and his eyes filled with anxiety and sorrow were staring closely at him.
Facing the black iron door engraved with the Dark Holy Emblem and many mysterious lines of magic circles.
This is quite rare for a mid-level "Sleepless Man".
"Leonard, you should take a good rest."
An old voice sounded from one end of the passage. Amid the dusk and shadows, gray-haired old Neil walked out from there. His cloudy red eyes were extremely serious, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth seemed to be tightened.
"I am a 'sleepless person'. I only need one or two hours of sleep every day." Leonard replied casually without looking away.
"Mental fatigue cannot be recovered by sleep. You need to use other means." Old Neil, wearing a classical robe, sighed, "What if Daley returns to normal and something goes wrong with you again?
What to do? Or do you want to stay in the confessional for more than half a year like me and never leave the church for the rest of your life?"
"I'm old, it doesn't matter, but you can't."
Leonard, who was staring closely at the black iron door, moved his eyes away, looked at Old Neil and said:
"I'm fine, mentally stable."
"Crazy is with us until the end of death, you need to relax yourself."
Old Neil's face was calm and his voice was steady.
"哐~"
Leonard was about to shake his head immediately, but the sound of the iron door opening made him immediately turn his head and look into the room. Even the old Neil who had just persuaded him had almost the same expression on his old and young faces.
"I think what Old Neil said is right..."
Anthony Stevenson, wearing a black and red clergy robe and wearing five dark holy symbols on his chest, appeared behind the door, with a serious smile on his beardless face.
Leonard didn't hear this sentence at all. He saw the smile on the corner of Saint Anthony's mouth, and his eyes burst into light of surprise:
"Your Majesty the Archbishop, are you..."
Anthony Stevenson nodded and pointed out the crimson moon on his chest:
"Praise the goddess! Dai Li's condition has improved."
"Praise the goddess!"
Old Neil and Leonard looked excited and happy at the same time, tapping their chests four times. The former directly advised the latter again:
"Now, you can rest assured and rest!"
Saint Anthony, who saw what Leonard was thinking, explained:
"Perhaps my previous prediction was too serious, or perhaps the impact when the 'Gate to the Underworld' was broken was too great at first, which made Dai Li's condition worse, but her condition gradually improved after that.
After the arrival of '1-93', the speed of improvement accelerated. If there were no accidents later, she would most likely regain some consciousness within a week.
As long as she regains consciousness, she can rebuild the 'Gate to the Underworld' in her body with the help of '1-93' and break away from the underworld. She can even take control of '1-93' with the help of this special connection. I have just been promoted and am now qualified to become a senior deacon or archbishop."
Under the Pope, the Church of Night has a total of thirteen archbishops and nine senior deacons, including the abbot of Night Monastery, Arianna, an angelic person, the future pope, and senior sequence 5. And once Dai Li really has the ability to obtain The recognition of "1-93" is no worse than a newly promoted Sequence 4, and is naturally qualified to become a high-level church official.
"Okay, now you can rest assured." Old Neil said with a smile.
After Leonard let out a breath of relief, he quickly asked:
"Can you now..."
"No, there is the power of '1-93' in the confession room." St. Anthony's deep eyes seemed to have a tide of darkness surging, "If you want to visit, you have to wait at least five days. You can take advantage of this period Time to rest.”
Although he was a little disappointed, Leonard nodded and turned around to leave.
After watching Leonard disappear around the corner, the smile on Old Neil's face disappeared, and he turned to look at St. Anthony, with bitterness in the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop..."
"I didn't lie. It's just that there are many unknown variables in Dai Li's situation. I just said the best outcome."
As the Archbishop of Backlund Diocese and the "Bishop of Fear" in Sequence 3, Anthony Stevenson has a certain understanding of the dangers of the underworld. After learning about Daly's situation at the beginning, he felt that it was difficult to recover. Even if you apply for "1-93" from the church, your hope is slim.
At that time, he just wanted to use "1-93" to stabilize Dai Li's situation, and then send him to the church, where His Majesty the Pope or His Royal Highness Arianna and other angels would take action. But now, this trend of change for the better is his. Unexpectedly, this also made him have some difficulty in making a decision. He didn't know whether he should send Dai Li to the church.
"Huh...that's good...that's good..."
Old Neil touched his heart. He was really afraid of hearing bad news.
"Actually, you can also go out for a walk, as long as you don't leave too far from St. Samuel's Church."
"Then there's no need." Old Neil waved his hand, his gaze resting on the iron door with the Dark Holy Emblem, "It's a good life like this, so I won't cause trouble to everyone."
…
Outside Thordrak Palace, luxury carriages drove out one after another. The afternoon banquet had ended, and the guests began to return one after another. The Negan family's luxury carriage was also among them, followed by the Adrian family's carriage.
In the carriage, Philip, who had drunk too much, was lying on the sofa. His cheeks were flushed, but his eyes were still sober. He held half a lemon in his hand and squeezed it from time to time, which seemed to be useful for relieving his hangover.
Compared to him, Rawls, who was sitting diagonally opposite, was much better. After all, few people knew him, and even fewer people wanted to drink with him. At the end of the entire banquet, he only drank two glasses of wine.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Why don't you use extraordinary abilities and insist on using lemons?"
"What's the point? It's better not to drink..." Philip shook his head and squeezed the half lemon with his right hand. The water mist came out and the smell spread, "Your 'lawyer' potion should have been digested, right?"
?After digesting it, I will have the 'Barbarian' potion ingredients sent to you."
"Digestion is complete."
Rawls did not refuse. After all, compared to potions, "playing method" is more important. In Philip's eyes, he now has a full understanding of the extraordinary world, no less than the middle-level members of major churches. This is of course not
We have high hopes for him to become a high-sequence extraordinary, but to allow him to consider some issues more comprehensively.
"I was approached by Ambassador Aidan Capet outside the church today."
"He's looking for you too?" Philip's eyes widened, and his slumped body straightened up, "Well, he probably had nothing to gain from you, so he had to look for me."
"You seem to be familiar with him?" Rawls listened to his tone and was a little curious.
"Well, the 'Conqueror Legion' he belongs to is the most elite army of Intis. I have had battles with them before in the Southern Continent."
Although Philip is the son of a duke, he has also experienced the baptism of small-scale wars and is not just for gold plating. Just listening to his tone, it is obvious that he has suffered a loss.
Rawls is not very surprised by this. Intis is one of the four countries in the Northern Continent after all. Although there has been chaos for more than two hundred years and there is a time traveler like Emperor Russell there, after all, the birth of the Industrial Revolution
The land was the first to colonize the Southern Continent, and its heritage is still there.
What's more, the "Legion of Conquerors" was established when the Sauron family of the Intis royal family was still there. Although it was suppressed by Russell, it was directly thrown to the southern continent to open up wasteland. Even if there was a civil war in Intis later,
They can all hold on to part of their colony.
Up to now, the "Legion of Conquerors" is actually very similar to the mercenary army of the Republic of Intis, except that it is under dual control of Intis in terms of money and weapons, and is different from those who can only rely on advanced weapons but have a weak will to fight.
The native army of Intis is completely different.
"What didn't he hint to you?"
"That's what he dares!" Philip sneered, "When he came to me outside the church, His Majesty was not far ahead, surrounded by Prince Govington, Earl of Hall, Earl of Levitt, and the Marquis of Rocente.
How dare you hint to me?"
"However, he will definitely come again. The 'Legion of Conquerors' has been in a bad situation recently. Most members of the Intis National Assembly want to further control it, but they have encountered opposition from the remaining nobles, who believe that it is best to maintain the status quo.
"
Due to the repeated changes in the regime, the Sauron family and the Gustav family finally abandoned the Sauron family and chose a parliamentary republic. The Sauron family could only choose to compete for seats to gain power, which also allowed the "Conqueror Legion" to
The nobility and the parliamentarians who support the republic have the right to choose, and this has been the development for more than a hundred years.
"Then that won't let Aidan Cape find you?"
More than a hundred years have passed, and Rawls does not believe that those nobles have reached the point where they have to ask the Negan family for help.
"It is said that there are problems within the 'Legion of Conquerors', and the country of Intis is not very stable. This makes those councilors feel a sense of crisis and want to use force as the final guarantee. Well, when delivering the potion materials, I
I will give you some relevant information."
Phillip squeezed the lemon in his hand again, took a deep breath and continued:
"Actually, it was the influence of Emperor Russell. Many of his theories and ideas were passed down. No one cared about it at the time, but now it has caused a lot of trouble, and many of those ideas and theories are contradictory... There is another
Where the 'conspirators' are active, you should be able to imagine what will happen."
I understand very well what will happen... Rawls twitched the corner of his mouth, he still underestimated Russell's influence.
"It is even said that the Iron Cross, which now believes in the True Creator, hopes to change society and the world so that the extraordinary will no longer be hidden and visible to everyone. The concept also came from Emperor Russell. However, I think it is unlikely, more like
It is those people who have tampered with the ideas of Emperor Russell."
No, I can guarantee that Huang Tao had such an idea. Maybe he said it casually when he was drunk one day while hugging a woman... Seeing Philip getting more and more excited as he talked, Rawls quickly returned to the topic:
"With the help of the Negan family, we can't let the Intis Council give up, right?"
"Then I don't know. Compared to the Negan family, Aidan Cape should actually go to Earl Hall and the others. Although the Hall family did not colonize there, many nobles who started in the colonization have interests with him.
In the past, the New Party had a great influence on the Royal Army..."
Having said this, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at each other with Rawls. After confirming that his idea was correct, he sneered:
"It seems that our ambassador is even more powerful than his predecessor!"
Core supporters of the Conservative Party, such as Philip and Rawls, naturally know that their party has a certain upper hand. However, judging from the trend of public opinion and propaganda power, the New Party is the darling of the news newspapers. Only in this way can voters be more
Sick of the new party.
But the Intis ambassador to Backlund, who did not have so many manpower and strength to mobilize, was able to determine this. Either because of intelligence or outstanding political awareness, he was naturally much better than Backlund inciting the masses to march.
"It's a pity that he chose the wrong time!"
Philip sneered.
Neither the Negan family nor the Conservative Party, nor even the New Party, will pay attention to the Southern Continent. All power will be concentrated on the general election. After the general election, benefits will have to be distributed and reforms will continue to be completed. When everything stabilizes, at least
About a year.
Rawls didn't say anything. He didn't quite agree with Philip's judgment. If Aidan Capet made the judgment based on his own political awareness and experience that the Conservative Party had the upper hand in the election, it would be impossible not to realize that Ruhn's
The focus is on the general election and subsequent reforms. Why did you choose this time?
But when Rawls got off the bus, he still didn't think about what Aidan Capet was going to do, so he had to give up thinking for the time being. He now wanted to change his identity with Edward Laito in Marsy Winston, and start his journey to Marsy Crown Prince Rawl. Gonzalez's life while making final preparations for his wedding.
…
Maxi, Winston, in the back garden of the Wende Palace.
Compared with a few months ago, the current King Orff of Marsi seems to be more than ten years older. His completely white hair has lost its luster. Even if it is carefully taken care of, it is like withered grass in the desert, lying in a disheveled state. The skin on his face was also much looser and wrinkled, and his gray-blue eyes were cloudy. Even if he was wearing glasses, he had to squint to see clearly.
It was already June, but he was still wearing a cotton robe, and his thin body was wrapped in it, which didn't seem to fit him properly. However, compared to the aging of his body, his spirit did not seem to be affected. He still came to the garden every day to take care of his pets. The flowers that have been growing for a long time are trimmed with scissors tremblingly.
Edward Laito maintained the appearance of Rawls Gonzalez and stood silently aside.
