Just when Nok released the information that he was a judge of the election through Luther's mouth.
Richelieu, who had arrived at a village church, was distraught.
But no matter how impatient he was, he still had to face the mess in front of him.
As a player from the Kingdom of France, he was targeted.
This village not only has the smallest population, but is also very poor.
It stands to reason that the Holy City is the heart of the Papal State, and its surrounding towns are prosperous.
Even if it's not as good as those cities, it's not much weaker.
How can there be poor rural areas?
But this village is exactly like this.
Moreover, compared with other villages, it is more difficult to register people in this village.
The residents of other villages and towns are all believers.
This so-called registration is just a form of gaining recognition from believers.
Even if they do not register, believers will still go to church to pray and worship every day.
But this is not the case in this village.
People in this village don’t come to church to pray at all.
In fact, they are not even believers!
This is outrageous!
If it weren't for the information that Roger Fitt and Finette got after a day of investigation,
Richelieu couldn't believe that there were still unbelievers under the nose of the church!
He was anxious.
This kind of village of non-believers that can survive under the eyes of the church must be a special existence.
He certainly couldn't force them to believe in the Holy Lord, if it were that easy.
There are no non-believers in this village.
Moreover, for this village to exist, it must be registered with the church.
Forced coercion may not be effective.
All he could think of now was to react to his superiors about how unfair it was.
After all, the village he was in was full of non-believers, and he wanted these people to become believers and register within a week.
It's simply impossible!
But Richelieu now has no contact information for his superiors.
If Roger Fit or Finette were arranged to return to the Holy City to react, he was afraid that they would encounter Nok.
The reason why he left the post house early was to go to the match point the day before the start of the game.
Just to avoid Nook Lane.
When he saw Nook Lane appearing intact in the banquet hall, he knew that he had lost his bet.
What happened next made him realize that he had completely lost.
Once Nok Lane finds out what he did to his servants,
I'm afraid that Richelieu will never have a chance to win.
He could only find a way to avoid Nock Lane before the election was over, without giving him a chance to know the truth.
When the dust settles, he may still have a chance to turn around.
After all, the call for him to be selected is very high now.
Knock Lane's early plans were successful.
The manpower arranged by Richelieu in the Kingdom of France has already built momentum for him.
His fame has spread to the Holy City.
Moreover, he has also created a good image among the contestants and won the favor of many contestants.
He originally thought that except for the person who was appointed, no one would be his opponent.
But he didn't expect that Nook Lane not only escaped the vampire's pursuit,
He actually got on the lap of a senior member of the Holy Court!
Those superficial women really only care about their appearance.
Fortunately, Nook Lane was able to do it. That old woman was old enough to be his grandmother!
However, this also proves that Nook Lane is indeed a formidable enemy that cannot be ignored.
He even dares to chew on such old bones. In order to climb up, he will definitely do anything!
Richelieu felt that it would be okay if he was successfully elected, at least because of his status as a cardinal.
Nook Lane might also put aside his hatred for the sake of profit and turn his hostility into friendship.
Once he loses the election, Nook Lane will definitely take revenge on him Richelieu!
He felt that he was also obsessed.
Originally, we relied on Nook Lane’s advice to get us where we are today.
Why did you listen to the idiot Finette and attack Rhodes?
If it were just to attack Rhodes, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But he also betrayed Nok Lane!
It’s okay to betray him, but he still gets something good!
That damn guy was so useless that he would miss even a bishop without an escort.
And the overlord of the dark world!
What a waste!
It turned out that the four Richelieu people went south after parting ways with Knock.
But on the day he was about to enter the Papal States, he was blocked at the border.
If the Knights of the Holy Court had not sensed something was wrong and came to respond,
It was even difficult for Richelieu and others to survive.
Because the person blocking them was none other than a vampire who called himself Archduke Dracula!
Dracula's terrifying coercion made Richelieu and others not doubt the identity of the other party at all.
Just when they thought they were dead,
Unexpectedly, Dracula did not kill them, but instead asked about the whereabouts of Nok Lane.
Rhodes naturally didn't want to say it.
But Finette betrayed Nok without hesitation and told Dracula the whereabouts of Nok.
Rhodes was very angry at Finette for betraying Nok, but was unable to act under Dracula's suppression.
But Dracula expressed doubts about Finette's words, just when Dracula planned to take further action.
The Knights of the Holy Court arrived.
Dracula, who did not want to go to war with the Holy Court, could only threaten the Holy Knights.
Plan to capture Richelieu and others.
It was Finette who spoke again, saying that they were not familiar with Nok Lane and were just traveling along the way.
Then he pointed at Rhodes and said that Rhodes was Nok's confidant. As long as Dracula captured Rhodes,
You can torture out all the secrets about Nok Lane from Rhodes.
Fenette's betrayal made Rhodes clamor to kill him on the spot.
Dracula looked at the Paladins who were trying to resist, and finally turned his attention to Richelieu.
Richelieu had no choice but to admit Finette's words and reveal his identity.
It's more or less a hint to Dracula that he is the church's candidate for this election.
The church would not give up on killing a cardinal candidate on the border of the Papal States, even if it was Dracula.
In the end, perhaps it was Richelieu's assurance that Dracula believed them.
Dracula captured Rhodes.
However, Richelieu did not know.
After Dracula captured Rhodes, he was attacked.
Not only was he unable to hunt down Nok, but he also lost Rhode as a prisoner.
But the three Richelieu people who felt that Nok was dead felt guilty from the beginning.
In the end, I can enjoy the results of Nok's plan with peace of mind.
Although the people of the Knights knew about their betrayal of Nok.
But they feel that people in the Knights may not know who Nok is.
Moreover, the Knights are stationed at the border and should not meddle in other people's business if there are no casualties.
But they forgot that it was Dracula.
Dracula's appearance can be sensed even by experts far away in the Holy Court.
The Inquisition even directly sent people to investigate the reasons and purposes of Dracula's appearance.
It's just that the three Richelieu people are now participating in the general election, so the people at the tribunal did not "invite" the three of them to cooperate with the investigation.
But the three men's betrayal of Nook Lane has long been a case of the Inquisition.
Even the Pope knew about it.
After all, Richelieu, as a candidate for cardinal, is running for the cardinal of the church.
The pope has a right to know the person's character.
Therefore, Richelieu had no idea that his current match point was
The Pope and Turonev of the Inquisition chose Richelieu together to take care of him.
For a person who has a grudge against Nok Lane, it would be extremely merciful not to kill him.
Because the Pope intended to use Richelieu as Knock's whetstone.
Otherwise, with Knock’s current status and favor, and the fact that the cardinal elected in the future will still be on Knock’s side,
Nok's discovery in the Kingdom of France will be smooth sailing without any complications.
This goes against the Pope's original intention of training Knock.
Although this Richelieu doesn't have any great abilities, he is the most suitable person to train Nok.
A mortal enemy within a controllable range will definitely try his best to deal with Nok.
But it happened that in addition to being a member of the church, Richelieu also had an official status in the Kingdom of France.
In this way, if Nok wants to deal with him, he must not only start from the identity of the church, but also
We also need to deal with him from the official status of the kingdom, a two-pronged approach.
Just enough to achieve the Pope's purpose of training Knock.
After all, as a real high-level person in the church, he not only has to deal with people within the church,
You also have to deal with high-level officials from various countries.
This is what Nok Lane lacks.
At that time, in order to deal with Richelieu, Knock will have to deal with the official nobles of France.
To achieve the purpose of the Pope training Knock.
Therefore, Richelieu had no idea that he had become the grindstone appointed by the upper class.
I still hope that I can win, become a cardinal, and then let Nook Ryan throw a bullet.
But the predicament before him made it difficult for him to move forward.
The special nature of the village in front of him made Richelieu unable to see any hope of winning.
Unless he can find out the weaknesses of the villagers and exploit them.
Anyway, just let these people go to church every day to listen to his morning sermons, and then register their names and identities.
As to whether they were believers or not, Richelieu did not care at all.
He also considered reporting the situation to his superiors, but after thinking carefully,
Richelieu felt that the higher-ups would definitely pretend not to know or ignore it.
After all, there is no way the higher-ups don't know how special this village is.
But they still arranged themselves here, obviously to make things difficult for him.
If it weren't for the forces behind the appointed person, it was probably Nook Lane who did it.
After all, he deliberately avoided him, and there was no Rhode around him.
I believe that with the power around Nok Lane, it is not difficult to investigate these.
It was normal for Noch Lane to be suspicious and test him Richelieu.
However, we can't afford to lose our composure now.
Just find a way to break the situation.
After dinner, Richelieu found Roger Fitt and Finette.
The servants of the church are arranged by the church and are only responsible for chores.
The church was run by Richelieu himself and his subordinates.
But now Richelieu only has Roger Fitt as his confidant, and Finette as the wallflower.
Therefore, Richelieu did not dare to tell Finette that Nook Lane was alive and very powerful.
To prevent this wallflower from taking refuge in Nook Lane again.
When the time comes, this guy will beat him up and it will be over.
Richelieu believed that Finette would frame them without hesitation in order to survive.
If he hadn't been short of people around him now, he wouldn't have kept such a poisonous snake-like figure around him.
Although he left the person behind, he still arranged for Roger Feit to be next to Feinette and keep an eye on him.
Just to prevent this guy from suddenly finding a new home and betraying them.
However, even if the three of them discussed it all night, there was still no result.
Although Richelieu was resourceful, he knew nothing about the situation in the village.
Today I am also busy with internal matters in the church.
Roger Fitt and Finette, who were out, had inquired for a whole day, but besides knowing that the people in the village did not believe in the Holy Lord,
I didn't find any useful information.
Finette finally came up with a bad idea and wanted to kidnap these people at night and force them to sign.
He was looked upon as a fool by Richelieu and Roger Fit.
It would be best for the three of them to come together and decide not to interfere with church matters tomorrow.
Change your clothes and go to the village together to conduct an unannounced visit, starting with the children and elderly people in the village.
See if there are other ways to get the people in this village to cooperate with them.
