Seeing Bill and the others disappearing, Nok and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
That's the holy level!
Although I don’t know how powerful the two strange muskets in Nok’s hands are,
But after thinking about it, he is not a saint-level opponent!
The reason why he was able to scare the other party away was probably because the other party knew Nok's name.
After all, Knock's reputation is also well-known in France.
Even the Holy Court cannot ignore those achievements.
Even the dragon knight cannot bear the responsibility for killing such a meritorious minister!
"Quick, pack your things, let's get out of here!"
Nok came to his senses and immediately canceled the light room, prompting several people to prepare to leave.
"What's wrong?"
Richelieu and Roger Fitt looked puzzled.
On the contrary, it was Finette, who carried his bow and arrows on his back and bent down to pick up the unconscious Rhodes.
Nok picked up Rhodes' weapon, and then rummaged through Aganzuo's body.
Sure enough, some hot gold coins were found on him.
"Don't ask so many questions. Leave me alone first and explain slowly. Believe me, I am a gold-level adventurer!"
hiss!
Feinette took a breath and looked at Nok with bright eyes.
Although Richelieu and Roger Fitt do not know the content of gold-level adventurers,
But we also know that there are only six gold-level adventurers in the kingdom. (Recently promoted one more.)
So, they brought their belongings with them.
Nok ran over again and threw the water bag thrown away by Finette and the gold coins he found into his blanket.
He packed it into a baggage and hurriedly left the col with a few people.
Not long after they left, a huge black shadow touched the mountain col.
Moo!
The roar of disappointment and anger could still be heard even by Nok and the others who were running thousands of meters away.
"Stop! Just rest here, don't light the fire. Everyone squeeze in."
"Finette, bring Rhodes over here, I'll treat him and protect his life.
I'll wait until the next city to heal his injuries. "
"Can you cure him?"
Finette and Richelieu both looked at Nok in surprise.
The light in the woods was not enough for them to see Nok's expression clearly.
Nok replied matter-of-factly: "Yes. It's just that if I use 'Holy Light Salvation', there will be sequelae.
This is why I hired Finette and Rod to protect me.
Because I was too seriously injured, I used 'Holy Light Salvation' again, but suffered the backlash from the sequelae and couldn't move.
I don't know when this after-effect will disappear, but it usually takes about two or three days.
Now in the wild, I dare not use it, otherwise you will be an additional burden.
When we get to the city, the worst we can do is stay a few more days. Anyway, we are abandoned now. "
As soon as Nok heard this topic, Richelieu felt a little sad.
He took the words in despair,
"Yes. I originally thought that I would survive and be able to make a career.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be nothing more than a pawn for the top management to save face.
Let's go back after Mr. Rhodes's injury is healed.
No, maybe the church in the royal capital won’t be able to tolerate me.
After all, when the news of being eliminated by the Holy Court comes back,
Perros will definitely give me trouble.
Bishop Ryan, I wonder if Reims Cathedral can take us and two of us in? "
Richelieu's words surprised Nok.
"Richelieu, you actually accept your fate like this? Don't you want to compete for the position of Cardinal?"
Nok's words made Richelieu feel heartbroken.
"Fight? What are you fighting for? Everyone has already said it, and the candidate has already been decided.
Those of us chosen by these places are just going through the motions.
Rather than embarrass yourself, it would be better to just abstain. To avoid being made difficult by the new cardinal in the future. "
Nok was very angry when he heard Richelieu's spineless words.
"Richelieu! From the moment you can protect me with your body, I recognize you as my friend.
I have some words that I don’t want to say quickly. If you think my words are unpleasant, you can interrupt me later.
I won’t advise you either. Anyway, our cathedral in Reims is short of people, so if you are willing to come,
I give you the management of the church. However, working for me, who is also a bishop,
Are you really willing?
You are a qualified candidate.
The decision of the Presbyterian Council is not final.
Above the Presbyterian Church, there is also His Majesty the Pope.
If they want to go through formalities, let them go!
As long as we have the strength, we can make all forms perfect and make them impeccable.
What reason do they have to eliminate you!
Give the position to the person appointed! "
Nock's words gave Richelieu a feeling of enlightenment.
But he still hesitated and said: "Is this...possible? After all, it is an internal decision and I want to do something.
How can we defeat others? "
Nock encouraged: "Why not? As long as you perform better than the default person,
Can the Presbyterian Council still have the ability to ignore all opinions and choose the person it has chosen to be the Cardinal?
Think about it, wearing a red robe, becoming a cardinal from then on, and returning to the royal capital with honor.
Don’t you want the pleasure of holding Peros? "
Richelieu was caught off guard by Nock's brainwashing, and he instinctively replied: "I think!"
"You're right! There's still some time before all the candidates arrive at the Holy Court.
We can think of countermeasures on the road. The default candidate must be one of this group of candidates.
We can definitely spread the news that someone has been appointed and wait until we get to the Holy Court.
The Presbyterian Church still dares to blatantly protect the appointed personnel?
Moreover, the cardinal chosen is our Kingdom of France. If we can unite other regional bishops in the Kingdom,
By jointly supporting you, the Holy Court cannot ignore the wishes of the Kingdom’s bishop. "
"How can this be done? I don't have a good reputation in the kingdom.
On the contrary, because I opposed the late Queen, not only was I demoted from my official position, but I was also almost ruined by her reputation. "
Richelieu looked ashamed, but it was a pity that Nok could not see it.
Nok continued to brainwash: "What's the matter? Good reputations are earned. Just like me,
Is what you heard in the capital just about my good reputation?
Those things where I acted as an adventurer, beat up adventurers, and even suppressed nobles who didn't deal with me,
You probably haven't heard of it, right? "
As soon as Nok said these words, Richelieu knew that Nok Lane really regarded him as a friend.
Otherwise, how could such a secret thing be brought out?
Feinette was also surprised. What happened before was easy to explain, although he heard it.
But he is not a member of the church, so no one would believe him even if he told him, and it would bring him trouble.
Bishop Lane and Bishop Richelieu did not avoid themselves, and that was fine.
But now, if these things spread in Reims City, it will cause the greatest blow to Father Ryan.
This is not something he can listen to!
Did Bishop Lane want to kill him and silence him?
But this isn’t right either!
If the bishop wants to kill him, why bother to save him.
With this uneasiness, Finette continued to listen to the conversation between Noque and Richelieu.
"It's just a reputation. We can definitely build it up on the road and gain some goodwill at the churches along the way.
Then select some local priests and bishops who have little hope to make promises.
As long as you become the virtual machine host, you can transfer them to the royal capital to serve.
Or arrange to work in a prosperous city.
After all, if you become a Cardinal, you need a team, right?
I guess you are worse off than me now. My Reims Cathedral still has dozens of personally trained students.
For three to five years, I at least had a bit of a nun-priest running errands.
Manage the daily affairs of the church.
And you? Who else but Roger Fitt? And Roger Fitt doesn’t have a church position yet, right? "
Nok's words immediately embarrassed Richelieu.
Seeing that Richelieu was silent, Nok continued.
"You see, we can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to go south, lobby along the way, and encounter situations that are better than ours.
We will make friends directly. If we encounter someone who is in a bad situation, we can promise to poach them first.
Even if you can't become a cardinal, I still have my Reims Cathedral as a backup to house some unsatisfactory bishops.
It's still okay to be a priest or something.
Not only within the Kingdom of France, but also in several principalities and kingdoms along the way, we can take action.
Dig those who are not living a satisfactory life into our hands.
When the time comes, you become a cardinal, we divide our manpower, and you protect me in the royal capital.
I echo you in the city of Reims.
The two of us are not talking about the church power that controls the Kingdom of France.
But it can also make churches in other areas afraid to ignore us.
Even those who are dissatisfied with you, the two of us can join forces to conquer them and divide them up.
Place bishops in office who obey us and listen to us.
Once we take control of the church forces in the entire Kingdom of France, we can completely annex the forces in the neighboring principalities as well.
We are both still very young. You are not forty yet, are you? If done well,
Maybe when His Majesty the Pope abdicates, you can fight for it.
When the time comes, you will be the pope and I will take your place as the cardinal.
It’s beautiful to think about. "
"Gulu!"
Richelieu and Roger Fit swallowed their saliva and were frightened by the pie drawn by Nok.
Even Feinette felt that he might not live until dawn.
How could he leave alive after hearing such a big secret!
Nock didn't know that the big words he said in order to encourage Richelieu to run for the election frightened the people around him.
After all, he must go to the Holy Court to report on his duties.
But it’s not hard to tell from the tone of Bill’s dragon knight,
He was targeted in the Holy Court.
On his own, he would be somewhat isolated and helpless.
It just so happened that this Richelieu seemed to be able to have a close friendship. After all, not everyone could stand up in times of danger.
I never saw Gandalf not even helping Forrest Gump when he was in danger.
Otherwise, with his ability, he would help Aganzuo replenish his shield, and Aganzuo would maintain his fighting spirit armor to protect Gandalf.
The two of them could have survived unscathed.
Nock felt it would be a pity that Richelieu would not run for office.
If he goes, even if he loses the draft, he will still have a helper.
But what if he really helped Richelieu campaign for the position of Cardinal.
Nanok also had a backer.
In the territory of the Kingdom of France, there must be no one from the church who can cause trouble for him.
Unless the person causing trouble for Nok is Richelieu.
Even the King of France dared not ignore the combination of a cardinal and a regional host.
Moreover, Nok always felt that there was something fishy about going to the Holy Court to report on his duties.
Given the merits he had shown, it would be wrong to give him the title of Bishop of Reims Cathedral.
It is entirely possible to wait for the new cardinal to take office and let the cardinal talk to Knock.
It can also be considered as a way to recruit people for the new cardinal.
After all, Nock is a newcomer with insufficient background and is in urgent need of support.
But summoning Nok to go to the Holy Court is intriguing.
I have never heard that appointing a regional host requires the Pope's personal intervention.
Not a cardinal.
Nock would not be arrogant enough to think that he could rise to the top in one step and become a cardinal.
My qualifications are too low. Even some merit cannot make up for the shortcomings of qualifications.
But just because Nock doesn't want to do it now doesn't mean he won't want to do it in the future.
What he said to Richelieu was actually a reflection of his inner ambition!
