The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 79
"Finally, Art Yorton said hello to his father, Archbishop Yorton, and said that he would not forgive him even if he died, and that he was still waiting for him in hell."

Snow sat in front of the table with a disheveled face, and spread his hands towards Ruberlier, but the other party's expression didn't look good.

"This matter has come to an end... Next, let's talk about you executing a red-clothed master without authorization..."

"Stop it, I hate nonsense the most. I'm the one who acts and stands up again. We celebrities don't say dark words. I've done things and people, and the meaning of punishment and process will be fine.

By the way, you have to give me extra money for such a beautiful job. "

Rubelier stared at him with a dark face for a while, and then shook his head with some dissatisfaction. The higher-ups just wanted to "stand up". After all, they need face.

So the final punishment for Snow was to put him under house arrest by the Black Order for a period of time, and he was not allowed to travel at will, waiting for the review of the Inquisition.

As for the manpower for the review, just pick the nearest free one and go there.

It is also possible to ask Snow to "check myself" if it is really impossible.

But it must be marked on the report that this was an accident caused by the unauthorized actions of the Black Crow Troop.

As a result, a cardinal was unjustly executed without going through a formal trial process.

Of course, the relevant person in charge has also been punished, but in fact, everyone is as clear as a mirror about what is going on.

But this is also good, the scapegoat above has an explanation, and the other people below have an explanation. Snow and the others also avenged their personal revenge, and personally received a large amount of compensation.

From top to bottom, everyone is happy.

Of course, except for the unlucky guy whose ashes were blown away.

But there is one thing, everyone guessed it right, Snow is indeed seeking personal revenge, and there are many reasons for him to execute Amanleich directly when he is clean.

But personal enmity was not the biggest element in it. He was rewarded with a few electric shocks in order to avenge what that guy did to him ten years ago.

Crush his head, but to help him pay off the blood debt he left to the experimenters.

Snow can still remember the horrific scenes in the laboratory on a certain floor in the few years when he first joined the religious order, how many people were tortured to the point of longing for death.

Among them, the one that has gone too far is the project hosted by this guy.

Although Rubelier is annoying, at least he is not like him, his hands are all covered with innocent blood.

That guy has a bit of a bottom line, and it's also for the grand goal of winning the jihad, and what Amanleich did is completely for his own utilitarianism.

So after torturing the other party and draining him of the last sliver of use, Snow smashed his head off without hesitation.

And the timing he seized was just right, killing this abandoned guy at the right time would not cause too much reaction from above.

Because the other party's end now is also a compromise of interests under the unanimous agreement of everyone.

At the same time, the higher-ups don't care about it now, and put it on a cardinal who is no longer useful.

Because Astor is dead.

Although this was decided by the pope, things after the death are not easy to handle.

When this happened, the Vatican also lost a lot of its prestige, and the spokespersons who had just been supported were killed cleanly by unknown people.

All of a sudden, various rumors filled the city. Although the identity badge of the Principality of Beto was found at the scene, conspiracy theories are always everywhere.

But the Vatican is still very guilty, because many of the statements full of negative conspiracy are just guessed right.

All of a sudden, the rhythm of the Vatican even attracted many European powers to come forward.

But right now they are still riding a tiger, and it is impossible to spit out what they have got. The canal is very important to control the future.

In desperation, in order to calm public opinion, the Pope had no choice but to personally guarantee that the Vatican would never annex any territory.

After all, this has always been the consensus reached between them and the noble class.

They can exist as institutions of theocracy, but they are absolutely not allowed to establish their own country, that is to say, they cannot appear on the social level as actual rulers.

Theocracy is already a threat to the shake of the rule of the noble group, but many kingdoms with real power cannot do without this kind of thing.

After all, the names of the current gods are still easy to use, which is also the most effective reason to prove the legitimacy of their rule.

But this world does not allow countries that rule in the name of theocracy.

For the aristocratic class, the rule of man and the rule of God have conflicts of fundamental interests.

Therefore, the sign of "suspected Vatican state" is absolutely not allowed to appear. Even if the Principality of the Rhine has no principal, the actual control of a country must never fall into the hands of the Vatican.

In fact, the Vatican did not intend to establish its own country. He just wanted to break the "iron wall of the nobility" to avoid various tacit internal frictions, so as to integrate resources to welcome the full-scale arrival of jihad.

But because of the Rhine incident, many countries did not understand this, and even their internal alliance countries were shaken.

So the Pope... is tired! ! !

The same is true for the Central Hall. The Central Hall is not the institution of the Pope alone. Many families in the Vatican also have interests entangled in it.

For example, the Ruberlier family thought that they could get a piece of the pie from the canal by overthrowing Archbishop Jotun.

But I didn't expect that due to the world's public opinion, the Vatican finally chose to compromise with the world.

At the very least, the profit sharing in terms of money is not much... But at least it has retained a certain amount of behind-the-scenes control power.

Of course, this is divided by the Vatican, including the other 17 independent principalities, and many big families and wealthy families have poured in.

Rhine and Beto, with everyone's full efforts, have been merged into one since then.

But what should the ruler do? Although the place is big enough and there are indeed enough benefits, the two places are really a mess now.

Because there are too many participating forces, there is no way to annex them casually, and the most important thing now is to ensure the fragile balance.

So led by Rubelier, they discussed such a wonderful plan with other noble groups.

Pushing Adele Rhine as the next Grand Duchess of the New Rhine Principality, because she is only a child, will not arouse too much resentment from the general public.

For them, the operability is also greater.

But she is only a female grand duchess in name, and the actual territorial management and reconstruction have been handed over to other aristocratic interest associations headed by her mother clan.

That's right, Adele's mother also came from a powerful noble family.

But in this way, the Vatican lost too many things, so they also made a request, that is, to take the female archduke to the Holy See for training, and not return her to her territory until she becomes an adult.

As for other things, they are handed over to other noble classes for "escrow".

In other words, the Vatican still has theocracy in name over this territory.

But this matter has been arguing for a long time before both parties can finally compromise. Although the aristocratic class is a bit extravagant, they are not all waste.

Everyone is given to you, what if you are brainwashed and come back to control Dayi and kick us all out, what should you do?
So as a last resort, the Vatican and the aristocratic association once again compromised with each other.

Find a way for Adele to issue a statement that she will not control the real power of the country for life, and only enjoy nominal honor.

However, the aristocratic interest association, in order to ensure the face and hearts of its own camp, forcibly demanded that the benefits collected by the Vatican from the canal be divided into two transactions to Adele personally.

After all, there are many other aristocratic groups watching behind them, eating too ugly will damage their own reputation.

As for the Vatican, it was also quite indignant about this, and even used means to dig out [-]% of the share on the other side, and handed it over to Adele.

But this time they were just acting out of anger.

Therefore, in the cake inside, in terms of monetary benefits alone, the silly princess got [-]% of the total share, becoming a veritable "little rich woman".

Of course, all she can get is money, and all other things are divided up by those guys.

After all, "interest" does not just mean "money"

But the above matters have nothing to do with ordinary exorcists. Now all you need to do is go home......

"Oh! This is really exciting!"

The rabbi is now looking excitedly at the cruise ship docked on the pier.

"How? I just said that you will come with me, there will be surprises."

Snow smiled and put his arms around Rabbi's shoulders, then raised the three VIP tickets in his hand.

The three tickets in his hand were quite expensive, if it wasn't for the money he made at Rouberier before, he would really be reluctant to part with such a large amount of blood.

This kind of boat can usually be boarded by rich people. If you want to buy a ticket, you must make an appointment first.

This is to cross the entire Mediterranean Sea and directly reach the Fog City, so for this long journey, Snow specially prepared a comfortable and luxurious vehicle for himself.

"Brilliant, great! I thought we'd have to do regular freighters first, and then we'd switch to trains."

The rabbi looked at the ticket in his hand, and couldn't help but smile. Who doesn't want their journey home to be comfortable.

"Wow! So big! It's really amazing."

The old man with dark circles beside him also raised his head and opened his mouth wide, looking shocked.

"Hey! Old man, forget it, you have never seen anything at such an old age."

Snow smiled and waved his hand, signaling that the other party didn't need to be polite to him.

But soon he discovered that the rabbi in front of him had also become as dazed as the other party, and at the same time exclaimed like Mengxin.

"Wow! It's so big!!"

Just when the other party finished speaking, Snow felt as if the sunlight shining on him was suddenly blocked by something.

He looked back subconsciously.

"Wocao, why is it so big!!!"

After Snow turned his head to see clearly, he was immediately taken aback.

The big shadow was cast by nothing but a gigantic cruise ship, and a truly "huge" one at that.

This ship did not know when it suddenly stopped at the port in front of them, and happened to berth side by side with the cruise ship that Snow and the others were about to board.

It's just that the difference in body size between the two is too great. If you want to use a metaphor, it is simply the gap between the grandfather and the grandson.

The three looked at the tall cruise ship with their necks up 180 degrees. Compared with the ship they chose, this newly parked cruise ship was obviously newer and more luxurious. Badge banner.

It looks like it is a personal travel tool of a nobleman!
"Rabbi...grandpa...!!!"

Just when the three of them were wondering which local tyrant was so rich, a familiar voice suddenly came from above their heads. Following the voice, there seemed to be a mung bean-sized figure talking with them on the deck of the giant ship. wave.

"It seems to be calling our names."

"Who is that?"

"It's too high to see clearly."

"…………"

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. Could it be that they had the same name? They didn't remember that they would know a local tyrant who owns such a luxurious cruise ship.

"Mr. Assassin..."

Hearing this distinctive title, Snow recalled it all at once. He squinted his eyes and carefully identified the little Douding who seemed to be waving constantly beside the deck railing.

"It seems to be Miss Adele! Uh...it should be!"

When the stairs slowly descended in front of them, they were finally sure that the person on board was indeed their acquaintance.

Not long after, Adele held her skirt and ran down from above. She looked very happy.

Snow also heard about it. Some time ago, she got along well with the Rabbi and the others, especially the panda-like Bookman.

"That...Miss Adele, what's the matter with this ship?"

"The Phyllisdale?"

What the hell is this name?

"I've heard that, you guys are going back to Wudu today, and we happened to be on the way, let's go back on my boat together."

Look at this speech full of local tyrants, what is "my boat?"

"That...Miss Phyllis?"

Snow cast his eyes on the maid who followed silently, she still had the same calm expression.

"That's right, the current ship, uh...the Phyllisdale, is indeed under the name of His Highness."

In the short explanation, everyone barely understood the reason of the matter. Adele lost her supposed inheritance rights, leaving only money and wealth.

But this wealth is really too big, and it is the kind that continues to flow.

After all, Adele is now the last bloodline of a noble family.

For so many years, let alone their accumulation, even the compensation she got for giving up some things later is enough to make people crazy.

Moreover, the leader of this plan is his grandfather. The aristocratic class is like this: you have me, and I have you.

Because the old man took away the rights of his granddaughter, his face was somewhat dull. After all, nobles valued their face most.

Moreover, the gossip against him outside made him feel that he couldn't hold back his old face.

So he decided on his own and compensated the child with some other things.

This boat is the most insignificant little toy of them all.
