On the eve of the Divine Grace Festival in 1521, the whole Kingdom of France was busy.
Their king finally got married.
The person who presided over the wedding was the newly appointed cardinal of the royal city.
He is also the man who will soon crown His Majesty King Louis.
This cardinal only came back three days ago.
After all, one has to attend the coronation ceremony of the new pope before being canonized by the new pope.
Finally, I have to exchange greetings with my colleagues at the same time and have a banquet.
Had it not been for the fact that the new cardinal had a backer in the Holy Court and was escorted by a dragon knight,
It was impossible to rush back to the royal city three days ago.
He even gave up all the ceremonial guards and the personnel arranged by the Holy Court, and handed them over to his subordinates.
I took the flying dragon back in advance just to appear before the important ceremony of the French people.
Implementing his identity as a cardinal.
To this end, he used the help of the dragon knights around him to force the young His Majesty Louis to recognize him as his godfather.
And got the position of Prime Minister of the country.
Of course, he didn't rely solely on threats.
He promised the young Majesty Louis that he would fully support His Majesty Louis in taking power and support any new policies he implemented.
As long as His Majesty helps him consolidate his status as a cardinal.
And at the coronation ceremony, he was publicly recognized as the godfather.
The cardinal did this because he was afraid of someone.
Afraid of a man who could take down his cardinal.
That person may still be in the Holy Court now, or he may be on his way back.
All in all, he had to finalize everything before that person came back.
As long as the people of the country recognize him as a cardinal, then that person will come back and
Even for the sake of the church's face, he had to admit his identity as a cardinal.
And with the identity protection of the Prime Minister of the country, even if that person really bans his identity as a cardinal,
He can also protect himself.
However, he succeeded.
On His Majesty's wedding day, that man did not appear.
He successfully made the people of the royal capital remember him as a cardinal.
In two days, it’s Divine Grace Day.
On the Feast of the Divine Grace, he will hold a coronation ceremony for the young King Louis at Notre Dame de Paris.
This time, he was confident.
Even if that person comes back, he can't be stopped.
What's more, the place where the coronation ceremony was held has something to do with that person.
That person will never cause trouble in this place.
The person that the cardinal was afraid of was the Bishop of Reims Cathedral, Nock Lane, who was very successful in the Holy Court.
And this cardinal was none other than Armand Richelieu, who was forced to withdraw from the competition!
No one could have imagined that the final winner would not be the three winners who were determined to qualify by Knock.
But he was the quitter who defected to the Presbyterian Church!
No one thought that the new Pope Polos Doug had always been the spy installed by the Presbyterian Church around the previous Pope Marcus!
At the critical moment, he turned back.
After he was crowned Pope, he announced on the spot that someone was obstructing the election of cardinals.
As a result, Richelieu, the favorite of the competition, was forced to withdraw from the competition.
It was also said that the three winners had falsified their results and were disqualified.
As a result, Richelieu was appointed cardinal of the Kingdom of France on the spot without giving anyone present a chance to object.
Facing the first appointment of the new pope, no matter how unhappy the senior officials present in the Holy Court were,
For the sake of the Holy Court's face, they all had to hold their noses and accept this result.
Then, the Presbyterian Council was afraid of long nights and many dreams, and quickly arranged for dragon knights to guard Richelieu.
The next day, I flew directly back to Paris, the capital of France, just to catch up before Nok knew about it.
Go back and make the final decision.
As long as the news of Richelieu's appointment as cardinal spread throughout the Kingdom of France and Nock Lane was again favored in the Holy Court,
It is also beyond reach.
Back in France, he was just the bishop under Richelieu, even if Richelieu could not command him.
But Tannock could not resist Richelieu.
With this purpose, and with the cooperation of the Presbyterian Church, Nok did not receive the news until he came out of seclusion.
Felane and Sothaslot both gathered with Nok with regrets, and then prepared to return home.
Of course, both men extended an invitation to Nok to visit them.
Feilein even told Nok to go to the Principality of Prussia as soon as possible to meet his teacher.
But Nok was not in the mood to deal with the two of them. He just said a few words to them.
After picking up Rusty, he got on the dragon ride arranged by the Holy Court and quickly rushed back to the Kingdom of France.
He wanted to stop Richelieu, and he would never allow a traitor who had been eliminated by him to become a cardinal.
However, after Nok left the Holy Court, he did not know that more than ten senior officials of the Holy Court had gathered in the Dragon Cave of the Holy Mountain.
The current Pope Poros looked at the people present with worry and asked: "You said,
Will Nok hold a grudge against me and try to oust me? "
Marcus gloated and responded: "It's possible. Don't look at that guy who is so polite and polite.
But deep down he is very stingy and holds a grudge! "
Poros suddenly had a long face and looked at Fiona who was lying on the pile of gold coins.
"Lady Fiona, you can't ignore me! I don't want to be the first pope to be ousted.
After all, I'm just doing what I'm told. "
Fiona opened her eyes and scolded Marcus angrily: "Okay, you kid, stop teasing Marcus.
I had already made up my mind when I said that I would let Nock choose his own candidate for the Cardinalship.
I just want to see if this kid can rise to the challenge.
Unexpectedly, this kid finally let me down and chose an elder who was beneficial to him as a refuge.
How can that work. Since that kid has chosen a thorny road, we can't let him live so comfortably.
How could he become strong and outstanding without going through trials and tribulations?
Therefore, you guys, unless he is in real danger, you must not help him.
However, necessary protection is still needed.
Boros, keep an eye on the Presbyterian Church and don't let them go too far. Marcus, you're retired anyway,
I guess you don’t want to face your teacher in a nursing home and be scolded by him like a grandson. Just go to Fran.
Whether you take care of him secretly or take care of him openly, protect Nok. According to my information,
He has been targeted by the Witch Union. Xiao Tutu, your Inquisition side, give Nok the maximum authority.
I will communicate with [Dark Emperor] and give you power. Regardless of any future unecclesiastical actions by Knock,
As long as he doesn't openly say that he wants to overthrow the church, suppress him and don't let the Inquisition take action against Nok. "
Turonev swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said fearfully: "Ancestor, this...isn't it good?"
Fiona said domineeringly: "What's wrong? It's not like you can't see the current situation of the church.
Those losers from the Presbyterian Church have regarded the Holy Court as their own private property and do not allow others to interfere.
Even though professional unions and adventurer unions are already on the rise,
There are even faint signs of being superior to the church, and they are still complacent there.
Look down on others. They even wanted to refuse to participate in the gold card jointly launched by mainland banks.
Isn’t it stupid! By then, merchants and countries across the continent will be using gold cards for transactions.
Only our Holy Church is still stupidly carrying hundreds of kilograms of gold coins to trade with others?
And then someone snatched him away halfway? Such a fool, if I weren't afraid of getting my paws dirty,
I want to just shoot them to death!
So, if it is not broken, it cannot be established. Knock is our chance! We have no better way to break the situation,
But Nock has it. Unfortunately, I'm not that Jade guy, and I can't see through Nok's future.
But I can see the world he wants in his heart.
I can only take a gamble and bet that he can bring the church back to its glory!
Otherwise, if I take action to rectify the church, even if the church survives in troubled times,
I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the big forces anymore. You can't expect me to knock on the door one by one again.
Kill the forces in the mainland until they surrender? "
Uh...it's not impossible.
This is what everyone present is thinking, but they dare not say it out.
Even if they are present now with the previous pope, the current pope, the arbitrator and the presiding judge of the tribunal,
The leader of the Dragon Knights, the leader of the Holy Light Crusade, the leader of the Holy Knights, and the leader of the Holy Light Priests.
It can be said that the people who really control the real power in the Holy Court are all here.
But they still didn't dare to raise their hooves in front of this ancestor.
After all, if future generations can't keep up the foundation if they don't work hard, even if they send out all the old guys now,
What's the use of destroying all the forces that threaten them on the mainland?
If these old guys are alive, they can at least ensure the continuation of the church.
If they all finish fighting with the enemy, if future generations are incompetent, their family fortune will be ruined.
The Holy Church has truly perished!
Nok had no idea that he was being plotted by a group of old guys.
Even the dragon knight next to him was part of the old guys' scheme against him.
because……
This dragon knight is Souster William, who had a relationship with Nok once, but had two grievances!
No, looking at the anxious Nok, Sost, who was responsible for escorting Nok back to the capital of France,
I couldn't be more happy.
If it hadn't been for the repeated warnings from the leader of the Dragon Knights before coming out,
It is said that His Majesty the Pope and many senior officials do not want anything to happen to Knock Lane.
Moreover, I am afraid that this guy Sost will be bribed by the Presbyterian Church.
The leader of the Dragon Knights also revealed that this is what Lady Fiona meant.
As a dragon knight, Sost can disobey the Pope's orders and the orders of the leader of the Dragon Knights.
But he never dared to ignore Fiona's wishes.
If it weren't for Fiona's instructions, Soost, after losing his mount Feilong,
How can I find a new partner so quickly?
Tina, this is Sost's new partner.
In order to bond with his new partner, he spent most of this time eating and sleeping with it.
Almost all of them were disgusted by Tina.
After finally getting closer to Tina, she was arranged to escort the "enemy" Nock Lane.
He was naturally unhappy. If it weren't for Lady Fiona's order, he would have thrown Nok down in the air.
However, although he can't hurt Nok, it doesn't mean that he can't disgust Nok.
Therefore, the more anxious Nok was to hurry, the more he dilly-dallyed on the road.
Anyway, the leader said that as long as the lives of Nok Lane and his goddaughter are not in danger, he can do whatever he wants on the way.
Knowing the attitude of the group leader and the higher-ups of the Holy Court, as well as the mission entrusted to him by the Presbyterian Council at a high price,
Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity to kill three birds with one stone.
Not only did he dawdle on the road, he also used the excuse that he and Tina were still in the running-in period and could not order her to do things for a long time.
He also deliberately provoked Nok with words.
After all, he felt that as a saint, even if he angered Nok, a gold-level person, Nok would not be able to threaten him.
What's more, Nock has a little girl with him, so it's impossible to conflict with him at high altitude.
Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it will be Nok and his daughter who are in danger.
The confident Soest caused trouble for Nok in the air.
Little did he know how desperate his behavior was...
