Rusty's reaction shocked Nok.
You know, besides yourself, even Bill, who often teases Rusty,
Can't let Rusty get that close.
Not to mention taking the initiative to "throw yourself into my arms"!
Fiona looked at Rusty who rushed forward and hugged her legs to "fly away".
This further confirmed his previous guess.
From the moment she saw this child, Fiona smelled a familiar scent from this child.
Coupled with the child's sudden enthusiasm,
He clearly mistook her for some old guy.
It seems that Nook Lane is very lucky!
Adopting a child is all about that old guy.
Although the old guy always said he didn't care about worldly affairs,
He often "puts harmony as the most precious thing" and says all day long that he "doesn't care about cause and effect."
But the little thing in front of me can completely prove that the old guy broke the rules.
Judging from the aura of this little guy, he was clearly raised by that old guy!
No wonder the little thing could survive on a desert island until he met Nook Lane.
Maybe the old thing borrowed Nok's hand to send the little thing away.
This old guy owed Nok a huge favor, but he didn't show any sign of it.
It seems that if I have a chance, I have to find the old guy and settle the score.
She is scheming against her juniors and wants to withhold any benefits. How can such a good thing happen!
"Is your name Rusty? Just call me Ancestor, and Ancestor will take you flying."
Fiona picked up Rusty, placed her on her lap and teased her.
Nok looked at Rusty, who was sitting on Fiona's lap and laughing out loud.
My jaw almost dropped in shock.
Several others were also shocked by the interaction between Fiona and Rusty.
Turonev even carefully poked Archbishop Doug's waist and asked in a low voice.
"Isn't it rumored that Lady Fiona doesn't like children? What's going on?"
Although the girl's face was doting and kind, the people in the hall who saw this scene did not feel it was inappropriate.
Even Joseph was excited and wanted to tease Rusty.
This is his granddaughter! Although not a kiss! But my son has said it, it’s no different than my own!
Archbishop Doug looked blankly at this scene, which seemed like a grandfather and granddaughter teasing their great-granddaughter.
Turlonev replied stupidly: "How do I know? Maybe it's Aiwujiwu?"
After all, Lady Fiona is very fond of Nook Lane. "
Turonev felt it made sense and couldn't help but nodded.
The two of them just watched the interaction between the three people opposite them in a trance.
Although the Pope was also curious about Fiona's doting on Rusty, he did not forget the business of today.
He pulled the fascinated Nok aside and whispered to Nok.
"Bishop Knock Lane, the church has already investigated your experiences from birth to now.
Except for the period of time when you disappeared after boarding the ship in Venice, your experiences and achievements,
The church already knows it all.
Therefore, the church is satisfied with what you have done so far.
Your merits are affirmed.
Moreover, due to your special background, the specialness of Our Lady’s Monastery, and the persistence of your three generations of leaders,
Saved the last face of the church.
In fact, if you hadn't triggered the holy war contract, the church wouldn't even know about it.
In the Lion Heart Kingdom, you are still struggling to support us until now.
The church gave the natural sect a severe lesson because of the jihad contract on you.
If the current situation in mainland China were not very good and it was not suitable for the church to go to war,
The church had long ago wiped out the natural sect along the way.
But this credit is also recorded for you.
Therefore, I decided to place all the merit rewards of the first two generations of the monastery on you.
Of course, the church will not miss the posthumous canonization of Sister Meili and Father John Lane.
You don't have to worry about this. "
"What I want to tell you now is that the achievements you have accumulated are enough to serve as a cardinal.
But you also know that it’s one thing to be too young and underqualified;
More importantly, you have no experience in governing a party.
Putting you in that position suddenly is a disaster rather than a blessing.
Therefore, we want you to study the system with concentration for a few years.
Fill in the gaps that you have no one to teach you, and inherit some inheritance by the way.
Make plans for the future.
But, now you have two options for you.
One option is to be like other people who inherit the priesthood with letters of recommendation,
Go to the church's theological college to study for three years.
Don’t worry, the seminary is in the Holy City. While you are studying in the seminary, you can freely enter and leave the Holy Court.
The historical library of the Holy Court has two floors open to you, and you can browse the ancient books inside at will.
We will even arrange for a senior to accept you as a disciple and teach you personally.
Another option, Arbitrator Turonev wants you to join the Inquisition and inherit the legacy of the Holy Spear.
You should have also discovered that although you can use the Holy Spear, you cannot exert its true power.
Its combat methods and methods of use are all in the Inquisition's databasei.
Except for the people of the Inquisition, not even this Pope has the right to read this.
However, inheriting the inheritance of the Holy Spear means that you have to join the Inquisition.
Inheriting a position that has been vacant for a hundred years.
Once you inherit that position, the church's normal promotion paths will not be open to you.
On the surface, you will most likely be able to stay in the position of Bishop of Reims City for the rest of your life.
And I, after all, hope you choose the first option, because I think you will
Take my position and lead the church back to its glory. "
Nok looked at the Pope in surprise, unable to believe that he actually offered such a pie.
pope! That is an important part of realizing his ambition!
Is it within reach now?
But Knock quickly calmed down.
wrong! This is not the papal position he wants.
According to the Pope's wishes, if you accept his conditions, then even if you become the Pope in the future,
They are just thugs or even puppets of these old guys.
Whatever you want to do, you must do it without violating the will of the church.
But what Nock wants to achieve is something that even the church cannot accept.
What Nock wants is to overthrow the current church system and assume the supreme power of the Pope.
Rather than being subject to the papal position.
When Nok thought of this, he lost interest in the Pope's first choice.
Instead, it was the position of the Inquisition that interested Knock.
Because he had just heard the Pope say that he had taken up the position of the Inquisition,
It actually didn't affect his status as Bishop of Reims Cathedral.
So, he asked curiously: “Your Majesty, what position in the Inquisition are you talking about?
Can you tell me? "
Upon hearing Nok's question, the Pope's eyelids suddenly jumped wildly.
I felt very uneasy: Damn it, is this kid not interested in the position of Pope?
He glanced at Turonev not far away with a guilty conscience, and saw the old boy's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Obviously, the old boy heard Nok's plan.
However, as long as Nook Ryan doesn't make any plans, Marcus still has a chance.
Anyway, they had agreed before that Marcus would be allowed to play, but the choice rested with Nook Ryan.
Only after Marcus has finished his performance will Turonev start to act as a lobbyist.
But if Nook Lane makes a choice before Turonev opens his mouth,
Turonev will automatically give up and respect Nok's choice.
After all, which one is more important, the papacy or that shady position?
Turonev also knew the difference.
If that position wasn't too important, it would have to be the heir of the Holy Spear.
The Inquisition was afraid of breaking the inheritance, and Turonev did not want Nok to choose this position.
Even if its power is very great, it can control the life and death of most people in the church.
But Turonev still felt that it was not as practical as the Pope.
Therefore, his attitude towards Knock joining the Inquisition was ambiguous.
Nok chose to join, and he naturally welcomed it.
He wasn't angry when Nok didn't join.
After hearing Nock's question, he knew that the Pope didn't know the specific duties of that position.
After all, that position is considered a secret within the church.
At best, the Pope has only heard the name of that office.
So he stood up, walked to the two of them, and said: "Bishop Ryan,
You won't get much information from asking His Majesty the Pope this question.
If you are really interested in that position, you can go to our tribunal to find out about it later.
Originally, this position could only be understood by those who joined the tribunal.
Even His Majesty the Pope has no right to know the specific powers and work content of this position.
But as the heir of the Holy Spear, your position is meant to serve the Holy Spear lineage.
If you want to understand, I can still explain some less important information to you separately.
However, more specific information can only be known after you join the tribunal.
Because even I only know a rough idea. "
Nok looked at Turonev suspiciously, and then at the pope who nodded.
My stomach was lost in thought.
It seems that of the two options, the one given by the Pope is more favorable.
But Knock was very resistant to the conditions given by the Pope.
Instead, he was more interested in the mysterious position of the Inquisition.
If things were as he suspected,
Then maybe, he can...
So, he looked up at the two of them and smiled: "What if I say, I want both?"
Nok's words made both Pope Marcus and Arbitrator Turonev frown.
"Young man, it's not good to be too greedy," the pope said displeased.
Turonev also advised: "Yes, there has never been a pope who also held the position of the Inquisition.
The Inquisition oversees the entire church.
To a certain extent, the Pope is also within the jurisdiction of our Inquisition. "
But Nok smiled and waved his hands and said, "You two have misunderstood me."
Seeing the two people looking at him curiously, Nok explained: "What I mean is, I will join the Inquisition first.
Exercise for a while. Wait until I am qualified and able to sit in that position.
I resigned from the Inquisition and took over as Pope. Anyway, the archbishop hasn’t become the pope yet.
Even if you train me to take over, it will take decades at the earliest.
I could have been trained in the Inquisition for decades,
He might even be able to find a successor for himself.
You don’t want the inheritance of the Holy Spear to be cut off, right? "
Nok was convinced of the two of them and proposed a plan to embarrass them.
"this……"
Both the pope and the arbiter were in a dilemma.
This has never happened before in the history of the church.
Although the Inquisition was an institution of the church.
But it has always operated independently from the church system.
The funds and estates of the Inquisition, even beyond their own top brass.
Even the pope, the apparent boss, doesn’t know.
Their operations and personnel appointments will not be informed to the Pope at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the Pope could find someone to deal with when he needed to deal with a traitor,
The Inquisition simply did not reveal who was on the surface.
The Chief Arbitrator and the Chief Judge are basically used to connect with the Holy Court.
Real bosses, such as the director of the Inquisition known as the [Dark Emperor],
Not even the Pope himself knows who is serving!
Under such circumstances, Nook Lane actually proposed to take up a position in the tribunal first.
Will he succeed as Pope in the future?
This is a joke!
Noklein has no idea how powerful the Inquisition is!
