The sound of hurried footsteps "ta da" sounded in the Papal Palace, which aroused the thoughts of many people in the Papal Palace.
The muezzin hurried towards the door of the Papal Palace.
Because His Majesty the Pope is summoning the sixth bishop from other places there at this time,
He is also one of the candidates for Cardinal this time.
Originally, the muezzin felt that no matter how much mischief the young Bishop Nook Lane made, he would still appear at the right moment.
But until the summons started and the number of people was already over half, he didn't even wait for the young bishop.
He didn't dare to hide it anymore and quickly reported it in advance.
Otherwise, it would be irreversible if Nook Lane did not show up when the Pope called his name.
If he reports it now, although he will be punished, at least he can save His Majesty the Pope's face.
Except for the senior officials of the Holy Court, no one knew that there was a non-candidate among the candidates.
Soon, the muezzin, who had received permission, entered the inner sanctuary and met Archbishop Doug.
After Archbishop Doug learned that Nook Lane was missing, he quickly sent people to search for him in the Holy Court.
Since the post house sent the person here, he must be in the Holy Court.
It’s just that I don’t know which high-level executive actually planned to frame Nok Lane at this time.
But the Archbishop felt that the other party was not trying to embarrass Nook Lane, but was deliberately trying to slap the Pope in the face.
Who made His Majesty the Pope prepare to abdicate? Some people could not sit still and did not intend to allow him, the Archbishop, to successfully succeed to the throne.
After all, if the pope makes a mistake before abdicating, his eyesight will be dim and he will not be able to recognize people well.
So, as a successor appointed by the Pope, is there also a problem? Is it because the Pope does not know people well?
Thinking of this, Archbishop Polos Doug's heart became heavy.
He took advantage of the gap between the Pope's interviews with the current candidates and walked up to the Pope.
He told the Pope that Nok might have been deliberately taken away.
After hearing this, the Pope was silent for a while, and a trace of determination flashed in his wise eyes.
"Send someone to look for him, and the summons will proceed as planned. If he can't catch up at the end,
That can only mean that neither I nor he are lucky enough, and he is not good enough to shoulder the future destiny of the church.
Luck is also a kind of strength. If your skills are inferior to others, then admit it!
With you here, as long as he is strong enough, he is not afraid of making mistakes. I'm afraid that he made a mistake but didn't know how to correct it!
Since we have chosen him, his future path will be far more dangerous than today.
Who can protect him?
What we need is a leader who can bring the church back to its peak,
Rather than an heir who needs our protection. "
After the pope made up his mind, he asked someone to announce an audience.
The Archbishop quietly left to search for the missing Nook Lane himself.
He believed that Nook Lane was simply taken away or trapped.
The ambitious people in the Holy Court are not stupid enough to kill people directly.
Shichu Wuming, the senior from the Holy Mountain and the people from the Inquisition will definitely go berserk.
But if Nook Lane is convicted of defying the Pope and the Holy Court,
I'm afraid no one can save Nok Lane.
Nook Lane must be found before all the candidates have finished their interviews.
Although the Pope said he didn't care on the surface, the archbishop knew that the Pope would definitely find a way to delay time.
For example, lengthen the interview time and delay the time between summons.
After all, I am old, tired from meeting so many people, and need to rest.
But the delay will never be too long.
Because the original dinner time was at two o'clock in the afternoon.
It's already half past eleven in the morning.
It stands to reason that the meeting will end around one o'clock, and then people will be arranged to go to the banquet hall.
Ready to eat.
Even if the Pope delays, delaying the time until two o'clock is the limit.
Therefore, he must find Nook Lane within two and a half hours.
But the Holy Court is so big that if Nok Lane is trapped, he may not be able to find him immediately.
To do this, he had to find someone for help.
After the Archbishop left the house, he rushed directly to the location of a certain institution.
"Eh? Archbishop Doug, why do you have time to come to our tribunal? Do you have a mission?"
Judge Turonev looked at the Archbishop in confusion and asked:
"Shouldn't you be accompanying His Majesty the Pope to meet with those outsiders?
Or, just like the rumors, the Presbyterian Church has already decided on the candidates internally, and those outsiders are just going through the motions. "
Faced with Turonev's teasing, Archbishop Doug was in no mood to joke with him.
The Archbishop said seriously: "Presiding Judge, I don't have time to joke with you.
You should immediately summon the available personnel in the tribunal and dispatch them all to perform an emergency task. "
"Emergency mission? All idle personnel need to be dispatched? The scene is so big! There is a cardinal's betrayal.
There are still foreign enemies attacking the Holy Court! "
Turonev was shocked and asked quickly.
The Archbishop shook his head and said: "None of them. It was Nok Lane. He mysteriously disappeared after entering the Holy Court.
But he was scheduled to meet with His Majesty the Pope after the candidates, if he could not appear in time.
There was no escape from the charge of contempt for the pope. Didn't you say that the Inquisition wanted to find the lineage of the Holy Spear?
If his charges are proven, I'm afraid you will personally take action to capture him and bring him back for trial.
Instead of bringing him back to inherit the inheritance!
If the Holy Spear falls into the hands of those who want to exterminate the Holy Spear lineage, you should consider the consequences. "
The archbishop's words made Turgenev angry.
"What a guy! Someone actually dares to do something small under His Majesty's nose. They are treating us as if we don't exist!"
"Archbishop, you said you wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and throw them into the prison of the Inquisition.
Or just slap people! "
The archbishop rolled his eyes and cursed: "Is now the time to find someone to settle accounts with?
The most important thing now is to find Nook Lane and let him meet His Majesty on time! "
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, I will do it right away! Just find someone and leave it to our tribunal.
No matter where he is hiding, he will never escape the clutches of our tribunal! "
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, go and do it quickly. I'll leave first and see if I can meet him in the Holy Court."
Archbishop Doug left the inquisition impatiently.
Turonev hurriedly gathered his men and sent them to find Nok Lane.
But they all forgot one thing. None of these people had seen Nook Lane, and they didn't even have a portrait.
Only the higher-ups of the Holy Court have seen Nok's portrait.
So much so that these members of the tribunal were looking for people based on Turonev's description.
A very handsome foreign bishop in his early twenties with black hair.
The portraits of Nock seen by the higher-ups in the Holy Court were those before he became the Bishop of Reims Cathedral.
Now Nok has regained his true appearance, with silver hair and amber eyes.
And because Nok was separated from Richelieu and others, he ran to act as bait.
He didn't have any divine robes with him at all.
His divine robe was given to Rhodes for safekeeping.
After falling into the sea, he had been wearing a knight's uniform.
Later, I bought a knight's uniform at the port that is convenient for movement.
When Nok came to the Holy Court, he was also wearing a knight's uniform.
Therefore, if Nok himself did not say it, people who did not know him would only think that he was a young knight.
Rather than thinking of the young bishop.
After all, which bishop dares not to wear divine robes when meeting the Pope!
It's not that Nok doesn't want to wear it.
But he couldn't find it for a while.
Rhodes disappeared mysteriously, and Richelieu and the three were suspected of betrayal.
How dare Nok show up in front of Roger Fitt and Finette.
The divine robes were not for sale, so they could only be made by professional tailors based on their identity as clergymen.
Ordinary tailors are not qualified to make divine robes.
Therefore, even if Nok wanted to buy a new divine robe, he couldn't do it.
What's more, his robe is still the church's specific robe with black background and gold trim.
It is an extremely rare divine robe.
If he were wearing that kind of divine robe today, how could he be deceived?
After all, when they see someone who can wear such a divine robe, other priests have already come over to sell it.
It is precisely because Nok is wearing a knight's uniform that he can be easily deceived without anyone noticing.
Who would pay attention to the whereabouts of a knight in such a grand situation today.
Just when the Archbishop mobilized his men to find Nok.
Nok supported Fiona, who had "handicapped legs and feet", and walked in the square of the Holy Court.
Going around in circles, the two of them walked from the remote temple to the square in front of the Holy Court.
Logically speaking, the two of them did not make a mistake.
If they arrive here three hours in advance, they can still see a huge crowd of people.
But after the opening ceremony, the place was already empty.
Tomorrow, the candidates will set off to the small towns surrounding the Holy City for selection tests.
If you want to see the fun again, you have to wait a week later.
Therefore, the people had already dispersed, while the staff of the Holy Court were busy preparing for the afternoon dinner.
There was naturally no one in the square.
Occasionally, the two of them saw someone hurriedly walking past in the distance. They had no time to shout, and the person had disappeared.
Nok didn't know that those people who were in a hurry were looking for him.
And those who are in a hurry don't know that the person they are looking for is right under their noses.
Their boss told them that the person they were looking for was a young, black-haired bishop.
They all stared at the dark-haired young man wearing divine robes, and he had to be handsome.
Who has time to deal with a young knight and an old woman?
It is estimated that even if someone occasionally pays attention to the two of them because of their hair color,
They would only think that they were mothers and sons or grandparents and grandchildren of believers who had participated in the event and had not yet left.
Although the Holy Courtyard is a Holy Courtyard, the front yard is completely open.
Because there is a statue of the Holy Lord in the square, as well as monuments to the achievements of past popes.
These are buildings that believers like to admire.
As long as believers do not enter the important place behind the Holy Court,
Generally no one cares about them.
There are guard handles on duty at important places behind the Holy Court.
Believers will not be allowed to trespass.
Therefore, the two people who ran from the back of the Holy Court to the front encountered no obstruction at all.
When the two of them left the rear of the Holy Court, all the people on duty had been transferred.
No one noticed that the two of them came out from behind.
Nok was not in a hurry now. For some reason, he saw this old lady,
There is a kind of familiar feeling, as if seeing the feeling of old nun Meili.
Therefore, he almost forgot that he had to meet the Pope.
I walked with the old lady, talking and laughing.
Fiona discovered new toys because of Nok's company, and she had long forgotten to go watch the fun.
Instead, he asked about Nok's past and his preferences with great interest.
It seems that he is just an ordinary old man who talks a lot.
In this way, the two of them forgot about themselves and regarded the Holy Court as a garden.
Walk around casually inside.
Even if someone sees the two of them behind and wants to ask something,
They were also sent away by Fiona using her abilities, causing others to ignore the two of them.
She was just getting into the conversation now and didn't want to be disturbed.
