Knock's side is full of waste and is ready to regroup.
After Marcus left Reims City, he returned directly to the Holy Court. After arriving at the Holy Court, he immediately went to see the current Pope Poros, told him the news of Nok's return, and proposed to hold a high-level meeting.
Boros couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Nok's name, but seeing Marcus's unhappy expression, as if something unpleasant had happened in Lance City, he couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.
In the first two years when Knock disappeared, he supported the Presbyterian Church and Richelieu in secretly suppressing Reims Cathedral.
Later, when Marcus settled in Reims Cathedral, he restrained himself a lot because he was worried about showing off his tricks. Later, everyone concluded that Noc Ryan was dead, and Boros focused on being his own pope and no longer paid attention to the city of Reims. news.
As for the saint from Reims Cathedral, under his brainwashing, she now dare not say that she is loyal to the Holy Court, but she must be obedient to Boros.
But now that Nook Lane has returned, it will be time to test the Saint's loyalty.
Could it be that his nearly ten years of training could not compare to a godfather who had been missing for ten years?
Boros is confident!
Even if Nook Lane makes a comeback, it will not be able to shake Boros' ten years of hard work.
Nowadays, support for him has increased, both among the older generation and the Presbyterian Church.
Under Boros' reforms, the church's influence now overshadows forces such as the Adventurer's Guild once again.
Especially in the war with the Dark Empire, the Church has always been in the leading position of the human coalition. With Boros having such achievements, why should he be afraid of a man who has been missing for ten years and is the fuse of the war between the human world and the dark world.
Therefore, Boros was only surprised to hear Nok's return, but was not overly worried.
But Marcus still has to give face. Since he wants to hold a high-level meeting, he should hold it. Anyway, Boros will not suffer.
With the Pope's instructions, the senior officials of the Holy Court quickly gathered in the Council Hall.
"Your Majesty the Pope, what is the reason for convening this council? Is the Dark Empire coming again?"
After everyone was seated, the commander in charge of the Crusaders couldn't help but ask questions.
After fighting for several years, there was suddenly no more fighting, and he felt itchy all over.
"Commander of the Legion, please be patient. This meeting was convened by me at the request of His Majesty the Pope."
Before the Pope could speak, Marcus spoke preemptively, completely unaware of the displeasure flashing in the eyes of Poros beside him.
On the contrary, he continued to speak as if he was presiding over the meeting: "The purpose of convening this meeting is to tell everyone a piece of news. Nook Lane, who has been missing for ten years, has returned safely. Everyone needs to discuss how to arrange him next. Come up with a charter to avoid having trouble dealing with trouble in the future."
"Noak Lane? This name sounds familiar. Who is he?"
"It sounds familiar to me too, but I can't remember where I heard it."
At the meeting, many high-level officials were talking about it, but no one remembered who Nock was.
Only two people's expressions changed after hearing the news from Nok.
One is Arche Buenos, a former cardinal and current member of the Presbyterian Church.
One is Turonev, currently the chief arbitrator of the tribunal.
However, the former's face turned ugly, but the latter's face showed a smile.
"Noak Lane, the youngest bishop in the history of the church and the current owner of the Holy Spear. Ten years ago, he fought with [Berserker] Jaina in Wangyue Town, and both of them disappeared within the boundaries of Wangyue Town. No trace was seen for ten years. , the Church ultimately judged it dead.”
The one who spoke was none other than the ugly-looking Elder Arc Bounos, because he was the one who supported Richelieu in his fight against Reims Cathedral.
Nok's safe return is the greatest threat to him.
Even if Nok has been missing for ten years, he is still only 32 years old now.
A 32-year-old bishop is still the youngest bishop in history.
For most people at this age, it would be pretty good for them to get the position of priest.
With Noch Lane's ability, if he can continue to operate smoothly, it will not be difficult to become a cardinal at the age of 40 or even earlier.
You know, even if he disappears, in terms of qualifications, Nok has been a bishop for ten years. Even if he is 40 years old, he has been a bishop for 18 years.
This qualification is considered old qualifications for those bishops who are in their fifties or sixties.
Who can compare with him.
Just based on his qualifications, he can crush other competitors, not to mention Nok Ryan's personal ability.
Thinking that Nock Lane is about to become a cardinal, the pastoral side will definitely become powerful.
I didn't see Richelieu now starting to treat Buonos in a positive and negative way.
"I remembered, it turned out to be him! This kid is really lucky! I remember when he disappeared, he only had the strength of the gold level, right? Can Jaina survive facing the holy level [Mad Fighter]? This kid can't It’s so simple!”
"No, and he was still able to survive after being trapped for ten years. You know, he and the [Mad Fighter] should be the only ones left in the Wangyue Town barrier. Even if he jumped over and killed his opponent, how could he endure it for ten years? of loneliness.”
At the council table, everyone was talking enthusiastically, and most people admired Nok.
In the past ten years, those elders who had targeted Nok had long since abdicated in favor of others.
Therefore, this group of senior executives who had only heard rumors about Nok were not as afraid of Nok as Brunos imagined.
He couldn't help but interrupt: "Everyone, you may not be too optimistic. For ten years, our church has been helpless against the seal of Wangyue Town. How can a small bishop like Nok Lane get out of trouble? There must be something fishy inside. .
I even suspect that he has surrendered to [Berserker] Jaina, otherwise how could he survive at the hands of Jaina! "
"Ahem!" Marcus heard Brunos pour dirty water directly on Nok, and immediately interrupted him by pretending to cough.
"Okay, Elder Brunos, don't say any unfounded guesses. I have fought against Nok Lane, and his current strength is not much weaker than me. In fact, if he uses the holy spear, I don't think I will be stronger." Escape for your life, so it’s not surprising that he could kill Jaina.”
Marcus clapped his hands to silence everyone, and then told what happened in Lance City and Nok's attitude towards him.
Of course, the whole process was whitewashed by Marcus, and he looked upright and upright inside.
What spies and spies have nothing to do with him, Marcus, are all unfounded speculations of Nok Lane. They are just a means to recreate a Reims Cathedral that belongs only to him, Nok Lane.
Therefore, Marcus felt it necessary to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the current Knock Lane and Reims Cathedral.
If Nok Lane is allowed to continue his nonsense, the future of the Kingdom of France will probably be unstable.
Cardinal Richelieu of France was at odds with Nok Lane.
If Nook Lane develops its power with all its strength, it will inevitably conflict with Richelieu. If there is an internal fight, it will be too late for other forces to take advantage of it.
When everyone heard Marcus' words, they immediately frowned.
Brunos and Boros couldn't help but secretly rejoice. It seems that this old guy Marcus wants to suppress Nok Lane in turn!
Turonev glanced at Marcus in confusion, wondering why Marcus, who had strongly supported Nok, suddenly acted against Nok. Should he inform Nok secretly?
Forget it, let’s inform the Dark Emperor about this first.
If Nook Lane's temperament changes drastically in the past ten years, Marcus's worries are not unreasonable.
Over in the Holy Court, there was a lively discussion on how to deal with Nok Lane and Reims Cathedral.
In the palace of Parli, all the members of the Congress were also quarreling fiercely with their necks drawn.
King Louis sat above, watching with a headache as the people in Congress argued over private matters and only cared about their own interests.
The Demon-Suppressing Pass was completely slaughtered. This news was delivered back in the morning by a caravan sent by people who traveled day and night.
Then Congress was convened urgently.
But this group of people did not make an immediate decision and send new generals and troops to guard the empty Demon Suppression Pass. Instead, they quarreled endlessly to let their own people grab the guarding position.
Louis couldn't wait to draw his sword and go down and cut down these selfish guys one by one!
It's a pity that he can't do it!
Six of the twelve members of Congress were from the Richelieu camp. Four are representatives of the nobility, and only two are loyal to him, King Louis!
The most important thing is that beside him, there is an equal Prime Minister Richelieu!
Yes, there is a gold-red chair right next to King Louis’ throne!
Richelieu, the prime minister and cardinal, was sitting on it, smiling at the farce below.
Isn't this old thief worried about the Demon Suppression Pass being occupied by the Dark World?
That's France's territory!
King Louis regretted that he had cooperated with this old thief when he lured the wolf into the house.
Although Nook Lane was strong and embarrassed him, he had never had a tendency to interfere in the kingdom's political affairs.
King Louis didn't even think about it. Was it because Knock didn't want to intervene? It's because Nok is not able to intervene yet!
Richelieu, who was sitting above watching the play, felt that the heat was almost done, so he immediately stood up and said:
"Okay, stop arguing. You are causing His Majesty a headache. I don't think it's better than this. General Michel will be the main general and Viscount Karls will be the deputy general. They will lead the Seventh Army to the Suppressing Demon Pass. At the same time, investigate the Suppressing Demon Pass. The truth behind the massacre. I don’t know what you think.”
Richelieu spoke, and the quarrel among the MPs suddenly stopped.
be opposed to? That doesn't exist!
Because Michel is from Richelieu's side, and Karls is from the noble side. As for who the king wants to arrange, who cares!
The vote was 10:2, and Richelieu's proposal was passed directly.
"Okay, now that the matter of the Demon Suppression Pass is settled, let's talk about something else."
Richelieu walked down the steps step by step and came to stand at the main seat of the long meeting table. He put his hands on the table and looked down at the MPs sitting on the chairs.
"According to my information, Bishop Ryan, who had been missing for ten years, came back safely a few days ago. On the day he returned, he went on a killing spree at Reims Cathedral, in the name of eradicating spies, and made Reims Cathedral a river of blood.
This seems to be an internal problem of the church, but the city of Reims is the territory of the kingdom, and the slain clergy themselves are also the subjects of the kingdom.
As a cardinal of the church and prime minister of the kingdom, I cannot sit idly by and ignore this matter from any aspect.
So, next, we will discuss how to deal with Bishop Ryan’s indiscriminate killing of innocent people and the issue of the vacancy of the Lord of Reims City.
After all, the lord of the Champagne Territory has been vacant for many years. Reims City cannot be left without a city lord just because of the lack of a lord.
No one stipulates that the lord of Champagne must also serve as the city lord of Reims City, and must take office in Reims City!
These are completely two positions, and we can elect two successors.
There is no city owner in Reims City to control the overall situation. This will allow some people to dominate the family and take the kingdom's land as their own. This is something we cannot allow.
Otherwise, where is the dignity of the kingdom and where is the majesty of His Majesty! "
