Heart of the Castle

Chapter 723 Unlucky Bishop, Protestant Conception
Compared with the banquet hall with staggered toasts and bright lights, the Green Castle in the night looks extraordinarily deep and lonely. The high wall barrier made of chlorite looks like a large area of ​​shadows, and only the patrols walking on the wall like ghosts The torches in the hands of the team can drive back a little darkness, but on the contrary, it makes other places even darker, and even the griffin banner on the top of the tower looks lifeless.

The place where Cardinal St. Nemok walked unknowingly was located in the corner of the roof of the main building.Silent and gloomy as his mood was.

Cardinal St. Nemok has reason to be terrified from the bottom of his heart.

The black dream may be true, but the god who bestowed it may well have vanished into the sky, just as Cageno the earth and Tomica the sky did.If this is indeed the case, then his ambition really pushed him to the edge of the bottomless abyss. In the religious texts of the Temple of Radiance, of course, the Lord of All Evils recorded in the records—Dimalit of the Endless Dark Sun is full of love. A word of slander, although this twin brother of Flandala has been sealed in the bottomless abyss since the beginning of the world, he is known as the master of millions of demons in the abyss hell, and is also the source of all injustice, slaughter and evil .

Cardinal St. Nemok is no longer the simple trainee priest who just stepped out of the monastery. Through the words of slander, spit and curse on the religious books, there is an extremely strong breath, which is the author of these books. The taste of fear from the bottom of the heart of the priest.

How praiseworthy was Flandala the Golden Sun, so much to be feared as Dimalit the Endless Sun, and now, when the gods fall, slumber, and decay... he is back!
"My lord cardinal, who is back?" A questioning voice came from behind, Cardinal St. Nemok's body trembled violently, his right hand subconsciously grasped the bishop's scepter, as if a person was slightly drunk Turn around as fast as you can in this state.

The voice didn't sound familiar, but at least it could be heard from a young man. Cardinal St. Nemok originally thought it was a trainee knight servant or servant in the Green Castle. At that moment, he even gave birth to The urge to kill and silence.

He was just an ordinary boy, even if he was noticed, he wouldn't be too much trouble, at least it was better than exposing the fear of the endless return of the dark sun.

However, when he saw the boy's appearance clearly, Cardinal St. Nemok knew clearly that there was no possibility of the so-called silencing. For the next few seconds, he was silent and racked his brains for what he had just said. Find a reasonable excuse for the gaffe.

"Your Excellency the Regent, I'm really ashamed. I may have drank too much at the banquet just now." When Cardinal St. Nemok spoke, his voice became low and calm, "My Lord Flandara One of the greatest believers, the martyr Enoch Sebasta, once said that sweet wine is the magic potion that tempts people to commit crimes...Please excuse me, I think I should go back to my room immediately, Go and ask him for forgiveness."

Li Wei watched Cardinal St. Nemok's performance silently, then shook his head very slightly and said, "As you said to Master Frederick not long ago, my lord cardinal, after we signed the covenant, we have already taken a stand. The same allies, if it is not really necessary, it is better to minimize concealment and cover-up, right?"

The tone of the young regent was not strong, but the meaning in the words made Cardinal St. Nemok clenched his fists, "Your Excellency, I don't understand what you mean, you are pointing out that I am The ally—Her Majesty Queen Fleischer of the Kingdom of Arthur, or you—has something to hide?"

"I remember that Lord Bamilyan, the head of the court, once reported to me the preparations for this banquet. Several drinks were served at the banquet, including iced ale, distilled brandy, and the top-selected summer red from the Dirk City Wine Merchant Union. " Li Wei's eyes seem to reflect the light of the silver moon and the red moon, which are so cold that people dare not look at them, "Although they are enough to make many people drunk, there is no doubt that one of them is absolutely No drink in excess has such dire effects as a cardinal's murderous intent on a teenager."

Cardinal St. Nemok couldn't help being speechless. He didn't expect that the young regent had such keen observation skills that he could detect the thought of silence that only appeared in his mind just now.But he is at least an excellent diplomat. After a brief embarrassment, the cardinal bowed his head deeply towards Li Wei.

"I'm extremely sorry, Your Excellency the Regent. I did have thoughts that should not have been moved just now. It's just that the consequences of leaking this matter are too serious. If it is discovered by an ordinary servant or trainee attendant, I am worried that I will not be able to protect this secret. "

Li Wei's eyes flickered, "A secret? Do you mean the half-sentence just now? Cardinal, if it is a secret that you feel necessary to keep, I will forget it , never ask anything.”

Cardinal St. Nemok thought for a few seconds, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, that's not a secret that cannot be disclosed to allies, but my personal speculation. Your Excellency the Regent, it's a long story, and this is not a conversation It's a nice place, and I think it would be better in your room or mine, if you don't object."

It's not too far from the second-floor rooftop of the Green Castle to the guest room in the wing, and it only took less than 5 minutes. Li Wei and the cardinal didn't exchange more than pleasantries along the way, and they definitely didn't greet the servants. measures.So when Cardinal St. Nemok found the familiar figure who had been waiting in front of the door, he couldn't help but feel faint surprise in his heart.

"Master Bamilian," Li Wei's expression and tone were completely taken for granted, "Master Frederick, Lord Marquis Osiris and Mr. Restoration Robinson are all here?"

"Your Excellency Li Wei, Master Frederick and Mr. Rist are here." The steward of the palace bowed deeply and replied with a smile on his face, "However, His Excellency the Marquis Osiris just sent a message from his sword dancer. Organize your appearance, and then come."

This answer was obviously beyond Li Wei's expectation, "Clean up your appearance, Father God, when did Marquis Osiris pay attention to this kind of thing?"

"Oh, Your Excellency Li Wei, I am afraid that your contact time with Your Excellency Sky Knight is still a little short." There was a hint of harmless ridicule in the tone of Chief Bamilian, "Elves are probably the most important things I have seen in my life. There is no one race in appearance. When the Nine Pillars Family’s Council of Ministers was still there, our Marquis Osiris, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, would usually be absent. The reasons are nothing more than two, either to accompany His Majesty the Dragon King to a certain country tavern To be chivalrous, or stay in the mansion to take care of your appearance, and sharpen the edge of the pair of magic epees by the way."

A happy note from the harp came from the door, followed by the voice of Rist Robinson, "Eunuch is probably the most sloppy profession I have ever seen in my life. "He imitated the beginning of the words that the Bamilian director just said in an aria tone, "But when you mock others behind their backs, you must first pay attention to how their appearance is different from ordinary people, I heard It is said that the elves are known for their keen hearing, and those pointed ears can hear the subtle sounds from the corridor on the second floor in the noisy banquet hall."

"My merciful Father God, have pity on me!" Chief Bamilian showed a terrifying expression as if a dagger had been stabbed into his chest. His performance was wonderful, not only made Li Wei smile, but even St. Cardinal Merck couldn't help feeling a lot more relieved.

"A eunuch and a clown are really a wonderful combination." Bamilian sighed sadly, and then the fear and sadness on his face disappeared like magic, "I'm sorry for the delay I have been with you for so long, my lord cardinal, but I think it will have a relaxing effect on your mood, please come in, we are all eager to hear what secrets you have that you want to keep even if you kill people."

St. Nemok Cardinal stepped back half a step stiffly, and finally resisted the urge to raise the bishop's scepter. He was worried that as long as he did so, he would use the most powerful attack magic he was familiar with. Throw it on the body of the palace steward in front of you.

"You, how did you know..."

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm ashamed to take it." Bamilyan nodded modestly and said, "But as long as His Excellency the Regent allows, everything that happens in the Green Castle will be under the attention of Sleepless Eyes."

Cardinal St. Nemok held back a curse that blurted out, gritted his teeth, entered the room, and sat down in an empty high-backed chair.Li Wei then walked in, followed by the Bamilian steward. When he entered the room, the court steward made a gesture, and several servants who were boiling mulled wine in front of the fireplace and were laying out fruits and delicate snacks immediately understood, and they all Exiting the room, the last person closed the door behind him.

"What a well-trained and good boy." The Bamilian manager grunted, then walked to a chair near the low table, took out a quill and a roll of parchment from his cuff, and placed the latter on the table flatten. "I'm ready, Cardinal St. Nemok, please tell me, Your Excellency the Regent will consider every request of yours, as long as it is beneficial to both of us, there is no reason not to help your allies!"
