The entire Reims Cathedral was stunned. Even the new staff would not be unfamiliar with the name "Nock Lane".
This is the name of the Bishop of Reims Cathedral, the owner of Reims Cathedral!
A name that has been missing and forgotten for ten years!
"Oh my god! He...he is the bishop?"
"No way! Didn't the Bishop say that he has returned to the embrace of the Holy Lord?"
"He was killing people just now, how could he be Bishop Ryan! Fake! Fake! This is definitely the conspiracy of the devil Milady!"
In the cathedral, all the staff were in confusion and did not dare to accept the news of Nok's return.
The members of the Knights trained by Leo looked at each other calmly, gripped their weapons tightly, and quietly surrounded Nok and the others.
Leo looked at the sloppy man in front of him and couldn't believe that he was Nok.
The young man who shared life and death with him and escaped from the Lion Heart Kingdom together.
"Nok...is it really you?"
Leo put down the sword in his hand, questioning in his mouth, but already believing it in his heart.
A closer look shows that although Nok looks sloppy, he has his iconic silver hair and a pair of golden eyes.
Almost no one can fake it.
What's more, the move that cracked his sword move before was the move that the two of them had studied during their sparring session!
After hearing her husband confirm Nok's identity, the frightened Sophia suddenly felt bad.
She wanted to deny Nok's identity, saying that her husband had made a mistake.
But recalling the cold look Nok looked at her just now, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to act rashly. Instead, she put away the dagger and moved closer to her husband.
No matter whether the other party is the missing Nock Lane, the person who came here is evil!
"Where is Nook Lane? Where is he!"
In the air, Marcus, who rushed back quickly, shouted loudly, his tone full of ecstasy.
If Knock Lane can come back alive, then what does the mere Reims Cathedral mean!
That was the heir he and Saint Dragon Fiona favored!
"Huh? It's you! You actually dare to come and kill people! I'll chop you up!"
Marcus had just returned to Reims Cathedral when he saw the bodies on the ground.
His face suddenly turned ugly, and he was about to take action without saying a word.
Knock, however, did not want to tangle with Marcus anymore and directly revealed his identity.
"Old man Marcus, don't keep shouting. You were looking for me just now. Why is it that I, Nok Lane, am standing in front of you now, but you don't recognize me anymore?"
"What! You are Nock Lane! Impossible!"
Marcus was shocked by Nok's words.
He looked at Nok carefully. The ragged coat covered his vitals like a strip of cloth. But judging from the faded patterns, it seems to be the robe of the Holy Church.
The dirty and messy silver hair is indeed the same color as Nok Lane's hair.
A pair of golden pupils reminded him of someone in the Holy Court.
Take a closer look, and if it weren't for the chest-length beard, this man does look a bit like Nook Lane.
Is it really Nock Lane?
"You said you are Nok, what evidence do you have to prove it?"
Marcus questioned.
Nok shrugged, reached behind his waist with both hands, and dropped two holy spears into his hands.
"I wonder if these two things are enough to prove my identity?"
Marcus looked at the two guns in Nok's hand, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed: "It's the Holy Spear! It disappeared with Nok Lane! Where did you pick it up from?"
Marcus' words made Nok couldn't help but frown.
Nok thought to himself: What does Marcus mean? He doesn't want to admit his identity?
Nok doesn't believe that Marcus doesn't know he is Nok Lane when he sees the Holy Spear.
"You doubt me?"
Nok raised the punishment in his left hand dissatisfied and pointed it at Marcus. The black light from the muzzle made Marcus uneasy.
When Marcus saw this, he was very embarrassed. The other party was really Nok Lane!
The joy I felt just now when I heard that Nook Lane had returned has long since disappeared.
This was entirely due to the result of the fight with Nok in the sky outside the city.
Marcus thought a lot.
He did not recognize Knock, but he believed Knock had recognized him outside the city.
But Knock Lane still chose to be his enemy without hesitation and protect Milady.
Then, if Nok Lane, who possesses saint-level strength, regains control of Reims Cathedral, Reims Cathedral and even Reims City will become Nok's influence.
The most important thing is Knock's defensive attitude, making it clear that he wants to protect Milady.
In this way, the church's manipulations in the city of Reims over the years, and the backhandedness of the Holy Court in Reims Cathedral, will all be removed by Knock!
There is even a possibility that Knock will turn over old scores and cause trouble for Richelieu of Paris.
The Presbyterian Church has already eroded the military and political power of the Kingdom of France through Richelieu, and is about to take the entire Kingdom of France into its hands. If it is destroyed by Nok now, it will ruin their ten years of hard work!
After all, this move of the Presbyterian Church was secretly supported by the church!
There is also Saint Rusty, for whom Knock was the godfather, which is registered in the church archives.
If he were to interfere with the Saint's affairs, the Saint would most likely turn against her and return to Nook Lane's command.
If it were just a saint, the loss would not be big.
The problem is the newly established Saint Guard Corps, which is a total of 10,000 troops, all led and directly commanded by the Saint!
Even the Holy Court cannot afford to lose it!
Moreover, Marcus has received news from the church in recent years.
The children who were closely related to Nock Lane have now grown up and even dominate the world.
Pirate King, Marquise, Grand Duke's son, and Chief of Staff of the Rebel Army.
And the queen who became the overlord of the sea!
Each one cannot be underestimated.
If these people are still thinking about Nok Lane's affection, if Nok Lane raises his voice and these people stand up to support Nok Lane, they will be in big trouble.
Nook Lane is an ambitious man.
He has lost ten years, and must rise quickly to regain what he has lost in these ten years.
Anyone who dares to stand in his way will definitely become his enemy.
If that's the case, I'm afraid the church will not be able to survive!
The position of the cardinal, as well as the position of the pope, will become Nok Lane's goals.
Fortunately for the cardinal, there are twelve positions, and it won't be troublesome to make one for him.
Enoch's ability is enough for the job.
Ten years ago it was just because of his lack of qualifications.
But the position of the Pope is definitely not in the hands of Nock now.
According to Marcus and Fiona's plan, they would wait thirty years after Boros succeeded to the throne and then let Nok take over when he was fifty years old.
But after today's battle, Marcus didn't think Nok Lane was willing to wait another twenty years.
If he insists on competing for the position of pope, Poros will definitely not be happy!
There has never been a pope who abdicated after being in power for ten years!
Even thirty years is less, and there is only one pope who died in battle after reigning for more than thirty years.
But that was a Pope from the Dark Ages, a special case.
They agreed that Nok would take over thirty years after Boros succeeded to the throne. This was Fiona's decision. Otherwise, Boros would have been easy to talk to!
Marcus thought a lot, but faced Nok's gun, he didn't dare not answer.
"No, being able to use the Holy Spear, there is no doubt about your identity. Welcome back, Bishop Ryan."
Marcus gave in. He wanted to deny Nok's identity, but he knew that once he opened his mouth, he would deny Nok's identity.
Nok would most likely leave the church directly. Even he would not dare to provoke a saint-level person holding a holy spear.
Only when he was wearing a papal suit, he dared to touch the current Nok.
The Pope is not very clear about how powerful the holy spear is.
But he was aware of how outrageous the records of past Holy Spear owners were.
Leapfrog combat is just the basic operation of the Holy Spear Masters in the past.
When Nok saw Marcus surrendering, he immediately smiled and put away the holy spear in his hand.
"Oh, old man Marcus, if you want to make a joke with me after we haven't seen you for such a long time, I can't do it without playing with you. Now that you are retired, you are even more playful."
Listening to the steps given by Nok, Marcus also stepped down the steps with dignity.
"I'm just too excited to see you, so I just want to lighten the mood."
Marcus told lies that he didn't even believe, and cast a careless eye on Nok.
"Oh, then your old lady adapted to the situation. Unlike me, when I returned home, I killed a few people for fun when I was excited. If you hadn't interrupted me suddenly, I might have killed a few more to enjoy myself."
Nok's sudden choking words left Marcus at a loss as to how to answer them.
Leo and Sophia, who were standing together, looked ugly.
Only Milady, who was standing behind Nok, almost laughed out loud when he heard Nok's rogue words.
"Ahem, Nok, tell me what you have to say. Why did these people offend you? Just tell them.
Our Holy Church is not a place that cares about human life. We cannot take out our anger on our subordinates as we please. "
For the sake of the church's image, Marcus had no choice but to give Knock a nod.
Otherwise, if this matter spreads, it will affect the image of the church.
Nok sneered and said: "There's nothing to say. The Holy Church always has only one way to deal with traitors - kill!"
"I just saw from the sky that other people were busy rescuing people. Only these guys kept secretly looking for the seriously injured, and then blocked them with their bodies, either breaking the injured person's neck or breaking the injured person's heart. "
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check the dead people they have touched. The death conditions above must be what I said. Just ask someone to check and you will understand."
"So, as the person in charge of Lance City, I have the authority to execute these traitors when they kill their companions."
"Besides, there are more than just these traitors, the one over there, and you, you, you! All of you, please stand up for me."
Knock singled out a few people in the crowd.
"You guys were also sneaking around at the scene. Tell me honestly what your purpose is. Tell me!"
