Fiona's words shocked Nok.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, but in the end he didn't ask about his parents.
Obviously, the truth was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to ask.
Joseph was also terrified. He had never thought that he and Nok knew each other.
There will be such serious consequences.
Although he does not know the reasons and reasons, the words "become an enemy of the church"
But he heard it clearly.
He believed that the ancestor was not scaring them, but stating a fact.
It seems that he needs to think carefully and calmly about the key to this.
Get out of your fantasies about that woman and think objectively about the stakes.
He can't let his children and granddaughter be put in danger!
"Okay, you can leave by yourself. You can do whatever you want during the afternoon meeting.
While you are in the Holy Court, the ancestor allows you to do things under the banner of the ancestor.
If anyone dares to embarrass you, I will send this old boy Joseph to be your thug. "
Fiona finished explaining the matter and didn't want to say anything more, so she asked Joseph to send Nok and the two away.
Nok could only say goodbye to Fiona and follow Joseph to leave the Holy Mountain.
Looking at the retreating figure, Fiona murmured with a somewhat lonely expression.
"Holy Lord, Holy Lord, did you predict that I would experience something like this, and that's why you deliberately left me here?
I originally thought that Joseph was an accident, but it turned out that there was another one.
Could it be that that bastard was really not dead back then?
Are the fragments of [The Tapestry of Destiny] really that magical? "
Fiona stretched out her hand in front of her eyes, and two pieces of shabby silk brocade floated in front of her.
[Tapestry of Destiny] Fragments!
Fiona actually has two portions!
"I remember that there seem to be five fragments of [The Tapestry of Destiny] in the Holy Court's treasure house, right?
Shall I get it and study its secrets? "
Fiona looked at the two mysterious fragments in front of her.
Although she has always owned these two things over the years, she found that she could not find anything no matter how hard she studied.
Apart from being familiar with the smell of things, I didn't notice much at all.
But she sensed the aura of [Tapestry of Destiny] in both Joseph and Nok.
Even, it is still the breath after activation.
It was exactly the same as the aura of the activated [Destiny Tapestry] in her distant memory.
Even the appearance of a woman she hated so much appeared before her eyes.
"Are you the blood of that woman? If so, I really don't know whether I should hate you or like you!"
Fiona sat lonely on the crystal throne that Joseph had built for her, pulled her legs up, hugged her legs with her hands,
He buried his face in his knees.
The whole person (dragon) has lost his spirit...
The three Knocks who left the Holy Mountain, led by Joseph,
Had lunch in the cafeteria of the Holy Court.
Then he went to the main hall where guests were entertained and took a nap.
When the person sent by the Pope to inform Nock to attend the meeting came,
The three of them got up and left.
Knock originally thought that Joseph would leave after sending his father and daughter to the Holy Mountain.
But she didn't expect that he would always accompany their father and daughter.
Although Nock didn't like this spineless guy back then,
But he would not reach out to hit the smiling person.
After all, he is also a senior, and his identity seems not to be simple.
Especially during the afternoon jury meeting, Joseph single-handedly
After suppressing all the objections from the judges,
Nock's senses about Joseph finally got a little better.
Nock also agreed to Joseph's request to accompany Nock on a "private visit".
After all, Nok had just arrived, and he was accompanied by a master and a local coward.
It's better than him alone.
After all, he lacks people around him. He took Rusty with him again.
He wasn't going to leave Rusty in the inn and let Luther find someone to take care of him.
Although Fiona mentioned that Rusty has protection that can block holy-level fatal blows.
But what if the enemy's attack is not fatal?
Or maybe the enemy poisoned me?
Or even, the enemy just captured Rusty, tortured or even sold him?
To deal with the so-called protective methods, Nok himself can come up with eighteen hundred ways to crack them.
He didn't dare leave Rusty alone.
Especially when he is still deciding who will be the Cardinal this time.
Although the people in the hall were asked to keep secret, there is no airtight wall in the world.
When a secret is known to more than two people, it is basically no longer a secret.
If anyone knows about one of Nock's decisions, it will affect the outcome of this competition.
Presumably, people not only from Dabi will try their best to win over and threaten Nok.
Even the forces behind these people will attack Nok and the people around him.
Nok has no doubt about this.
He never believed that human nature is inherently good, otherwise,
Why does the world need priests like them to guide people to be good?
After agreeing on the time for tomorrow's trip and the meeting place, Nok and Joseph said goodbye.
Back at the post house, the reward given by the Pope has been received.
The series of commendations in the afternoon are said to have shocked the subordinates of the archbishops who stayed in the post house.
There were also people watching nearby.
Only half a day passed before the name of Bishop Nook Lane from the Kingdom of France was revealed.
It spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Everyone knows that this bishop from Reims Cathedral in the Kingdom of France is too outstanding.
I was specially commended by the church.
Moreover, Nok's origins have won the favor of the people of the Holy City!
That was the Lion Heart Kingdom that was abandoned by the Holy Court!
There is actually a monastery that still exists today!
They all thought that the church had "lost" the Lionheart Kingdom more than ten years ago!
Unexpectedly, there were actually several devout clergy who sacrificed their lives for the church.
The story of Knock and the Abbey of Our Lady spread,
The believers in the holy city were excited.
People took to the streets to celebrate that night, and the scene was said to have surpassed yesterday's general election opening ceremony.
After Nok turned down the invitations from some local family forces in the Holy City,
Finally sat down in Luther's envy.
"Nock, my friend. Although I knew you were different, I didn't expect that.
You are actually taken so seriously by the church.
There are many priests who enter the seminary every year with letters of recommendation.
But you are the first bishop to enter seminary.
Moreover, there are no more than three people in the Holy Court today who can be specially approved to wear gold-rimmed divine robes.
No wonder the big families in the Holy City can't sit still and want to invite you to the banquet they hold.
You know, even if it is only once every four years, the cardinals who return to the Holy Court to report their work,
They may not win their favor.
But why would you reject them? With your current status and influence,
I think if you attend the banquet, you will definitely have an affair tonight.
Those legitimate daughters of big families don’t show up casually. Don't you think it's a pity? "
Nok looked at Luther who looked regretful, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he said with a playful look: "No, my friend. If you only see my value,
Then you are just as short-sighted as the person who invited me today.
My value is not that they send a steward to get some inconspicuous gifts;
You can win her over with an unloved legitimate daughter. "
A sneer appeared on Nok's face, and he leaned on the sofa in the living room: "Believe it or not,
Even if I accept the invitation to attend their banquet tonight, they sent out to entertain me,
At most, they are the young people in the family, and even those abandoned children who are not very favored by sea beasts.
Then they stuffed a few of their leftover so-called legitimate daughters into my arms,
They said some words to win over me as if they were gifts, which made me feel that I could gain their appreciation.
What a glorious thing. "
Luther opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Isn't this considered an honor?
Even if he, Luther, wanted to beg, he couldn't find the direction to the door to do so!
But Nok sneered disdainfully: "These guys are used to being arrogant.
They have forgotten that I, Nock Lane, am only twenty-one years old now and I am already sitting in the position of bishop!
More importantly, I am appreciated by His Majesty the Pope and the Archbishop. As long as I don’t seek death, I will have a bright future! "
“Although they are high above others now, I will definitely be high above others in the future.
In the future, it is not certain who will be nobler than whom. If they don't take me seriously, why would I take them seriously?
What I want is not their charity, but their flattery by putting me on an equal footing.
When the time comes, not to mention that they want to please me in every possible way, I want them to treat the most cherished daughter in the family as
Send it to me for me to choose from.
This is the arrogance our young people should have.
How could I be begging for mercy just because of a little charity from others? "
Nok's words made Luther's blood boil.
But after all, he is a person who has experienced severe beatings in reality. He is still wasting his time in his thirties and has no chance of getting ahead.
He has long lost the arrogance he had when he was young.
Although Nok seems to be very prosperous now, it is nothing to the big families in the Holy City.
Even His Majesty the Pope may not be willing to challenge the big families in the Holy City.
Not to mention a mere local bishop.
No matter how powerful Nok is, he can't be compared with the big family now.
He felt that Nok was taking things for granted.
As a friend, he felt that he should remind Nock Lane to avoid being too arrogant.
A great prospect was wasted, and Luther lost an important connection.
"Nock, my dear friend, I admire your backbone and pride.
However, I have to give you some advice. These big families,
They are all existences with hundreds or even thousands of years of foundation.
Their influence is intricate and deep-rooted within the church. It’s not something that little people like us can shake.
Even if you are sitting in that position now, they will only superficially respect you at most.
It's impossible to bow down to you.
So, don’t say anything like this again. If word gets out, it will only cause trouble for you. "
Nok looked at the "cowardly" Luther and knew that he was being cautious.
But Luther didn't know what was behind Nok.
Nok felt that Fiona would make good use of the promise given by him while he was in the Holy Court.
Wouldn't this be a waste of this great opportunity?
At least, he would let all the forces in the Holy Court understand the agreement between him and Fiona.
We absolutely do not dare to attack him and the people around him in order to buy time for the development of Reims Cathedral.
Ten years, just ten years.
Nok firmly believed that it would only take ten years for his reputation to spread back to the Kingdom of France.
He was able to develop Reims Cathedral into a famous church in the Kingdom of France and even the continent.
At that time, even the Holy Court would not dare to easily take advantage of such a prestigious cathedral.
Because that is already the face of the church, and the church will not slap itself without a good reason.
Making fun of your own face.
This was the conclusion Nock drew from the church's reaction to his purchase of Reims Cathedral.
Therefore, Nok knew that during his time in the Holy Court,
What we have to do is not to hide our capabilities and bide our time, but to show off our strengths!
Otherwise, the church forces that have already targeted him will definitely find opportunities to continue to suppress and persecute him.
But if those people find that Nok cannot suppress them at all and is unstoppable,
Then their more likely choice is to join!
After all, for these forces, interests are fundamental, and grudges are nothing!
What's more, Nok didn't think there was any irresolvable grudge between them.
Therefore, Nok had already thought of an idea in the afternoon.
He has a dragon flute to protect him, and Joseph, a saint, acts as a guard.
His safety in the Holy Court is absolutely guaranteed.
If you don’t waste any time, wouldn’t it be too timid?
What's more, Lady Fiona herself said that while he was in the Holy Court, Nok could do anything under her banner.
Although this is a bit exaggerated, it also shows Lady Fiona's conniving attitude.
Nok believed that as long as he didn't overturn the Holy City and made some noise, it should be okay.
Therefore, he looked at Luther and smiled mysteriously.
"Luthor, my friend, if this is your only courage, then I advise you to stay away from me.
Because from now on, there will be a lot of trouble around me.
I don’t even know who is here to please me and who is out to harm me.
It would be bad if you were implicated by me.
You know, today, I was just appointed by His Majesty the Pope as a judge for this election of cardinals.
As a judge in France, His Majesty the Pope takes my decision very seriously.
You said, if those players find out about this news, they will send people to win me over.
Or send someone to assassinate me? "
"What! You actually became a judge!"
Luther was shocked!
He looked at Nook Lane who still had a childish look on his face, and his heart was filled with shock.
You must know that those who can be judges do not have high esteem in the Holy Court.
He just has a strong background in the Holy City.
It can be said that every election of cardinals is a contest between various forces.
The purpose is to cultivate and win over a local official for his own power!
Cardinal! An expatriate cardinal is equivalent to a feudal official in an empire!
Even the princes with no background in the empire are lower than the cardinals!
Don't look at how arrogant and powerful he just said about those big families.
But when faced with a cardinal who wields local power, they must be careful.
They are good at calling the shots in the Holy City, but outside the Holy City, they are nothing!
If Nock Lane really becomes a judge, the cardinal will even be selected from him this time.
In the future, it would be absolutely impossible for the Cardinal to be an enemy of Nook Ryan.
In addition, this time the cardinal is going to work in the Kingdom of France and become Nook Lane's boss.
With this kind of relationship, the cardinal dared to control Nok Lane!
By then, although he is not a cardinal, he will be better than a cardinal!
He is only twenty-one years old!
This is to allow him to continue developing with this momentum.
After ten or eight years, he can indeed challenge the big families in the Holy City!
He can even create such a family himself!
In the end, foundation is just foundation. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong!
Luther said he was jealous! He was envious!
He felt that Nok was right!
He is so timid!
He can be more bold when he climbs aboard the giant ship Nok Lane that has just set sail!
If you don’t get on the boat now, you will definitely be knocked off the boat by the waves in the future!
