Victor never expected that the castle in front of him did not belong to him, but to Nok Lane.
He couldn't accept this fact: "No! It's impossible! When I took office just now, the city hall said that they had sent people to clean the city lord's mansion for me! You are lying to me!"
Without Nok speaking, a noble next to Nok chatted up: "Who lied to you? Reims City did have a city lord's palace before. It was in the civilian area in the west of the city. It occupied a small area. It was the residence of the Julien family before it became prosperous. House of.
Later, the Julien family became prosperous and became a lord, so they bought the current castle as the lord's residence. As for the original house, in order to make money, the members of the Julien family sold the house to the city hall and used it as the city lord's residence. After taking the money, they still lived in it.
For the sake of the two Lords Julien, the people in the city hall did not dare to drive them away. It was not until Lord Angeladi disappeared that the city hall officially took back the right to use the city lord's mansion.
Therefore, if you want to go to the City Lord's Mansion, go to the West City quickly, don't be embarrassed here. Even if you are the city lord, you have no right to invade private territory! "
The nobleman explained with a sarcastic face, and the people around him looked at Victor as if they were laughing.
This made Victor feel very uncomfortable and wanted to get angry.
But there were only a few attendants left around him, and the guards were all captured by Nok's people.
I don't have the confidence to look for trouble.
"Just leave! You wait for me, the Lord of the City! Nok Lane, please release my people quickly!"
Nok kept looking at Victor with a smile and said nothing, showing no reaction to his harsh words.
It wasn't until Victor was so frightened that Nok raised his right hand and waved: "Let him go."
Victor's guards were finally released, their faces full of dissatisfaction, but looking at the crowd and guards surrounding them, they could only swallow this frustration.
"Lord Victor, please go slowly. I won't send you any more. By the way, if you want to hold a banquet to celebrate your taking office, please don't forget to send me an invitation. I will definitely be there on time to congratulate you."
Hearing Nok's proud sarcasm, Victor gritted his teeth and got on the carriage, left with his men, and headed towards the West City.
"Baron Bollet, you are very good, and I like you very much. Let your son report to the church tomorrow. As for your daughter, you can go to the choir for further training."
The named Baron Bolai was the middle-aged man who choked Victor.
Hearing what Nok said, he felt ecstatic and secretly thought that he had made the right bet.
Others envied Baron Bollet for taking advantage of his opportunity.
What's the point of offending a city lord who only has 50 guards? Who among them here doesn't have dozens of guards at home?
Besides, no matter how many guards there are, they are not something Bishop Ryan can match with one finger.
This is the holy level!
How do you take sides? Do you still have to choose?
Besides, they were used to living without a city lord, and now the kingdom sent them another one. What a bastard!
How wonderful it is now. In addition to tithing to the church, we don’t have to pay poll tax, commercial tax and other miscellaneous taxes. The life was wonderful.
Victor didn't know that he was destined to be isolated from the first day he took office. The government decrees were not understood, and in the end he was killed as the city lord.
After solving the trouble caused by Victor, Knock took the opportunity to win over a group of nobles and asked them to send their children or talents to join the Reims Cathedral, reorganizing the daily life of the Reims Cathedral.
In the days that followed, Reims City developed rapidly.
The church and Richelieu were not willing to sit back and watch the Reims Cathedral grow in size, and quietly extended their black hands to the city of Reims...
1533, spring.
"boom!"
Nok slammed a stack of documents on the table. Pamela, who came to report, was so frightened that she did not dare to raise her head. She knelt on the ground, her lowered head already touching her knees.
"Well, what a Presbyterian, what a Richelieu!"
The angry Nok's eyes were burning with anger, and he wanted to burn the documents on the table with the anger in his eyes.
"Come here, prepare a car. I will go to Paris in person to meet with our Cardinal!"
"Sir, do you need to inform Lady Lena or Lady Milady?" Pamela asked cautiously.
"Wow!"
Nok threw the documents on the table towards the kneeling Pamela, pointed at her and cursed: "You need to talk more! Just do whatever I ask you to do! What nonsense! Get out!"
"yes!"
After being scolded, Pamela knelt on the ground and backed away with her knees until she reached the door of the office, then stood up and turned around to leave the room.
After leaving the door and coming to the corner of the stairs, I heard someone say: "Thank you for your hard work, the teacher's temper has become grumpy again."
Pamela changed her submissive attitude just now, looked at Lena who was leaning against the wall at the entrance of the stairs, and said worriedly: "The bishop has become more irritable and irritable, which is very wrong. But in just six months, he seems to have changed. Same."
Reina complained casually: "Oh~ I know it too, but I can't help at all. If I hadn't run faster last time, the teacher would have beaten me. I don't know how Milady is doing. If she doesn’t come back, I won’t be able to stand it anymore!”
Pamela looked back at the office at the end of the corridor worriedly, took Reina's hand and walked downstairs.
"Okay, let's get out of here first. The Bishop is ready to come out. He asked me to arrange a carriage to go to Paris."
Reina suddenly became serious, "Teacher decided to take action against Pa Li?"
"I don't know, but my lord is very angry about the behavior in the royal city." Pamela explained the specific reason.
After hearing this, Reina frowned immediately.
"I can't leave now. I need to monitor Victor, and I also need to prevent the nobles in Reims City from secretly infiltrating the music. Hope's image is too special and is not suitable for walking outside. How about you accompany the teacher? ?”
Pamela reminded silently: "Lady Lena, although I am in charge of [Ye Cha], I am just an ordinary person."
Reina then remembered that her spy boss was just a civilian employee who was good at management.
"Sorry, sorry. I was negligent."
Reina apologized and said distressedly: "In the past, I wouldn't have worried about the teacher. After all, with his strength, no one in the royal city could keep him. But now his temper is getting more and more irritable. This is very wrong. I Worried that he will fall into someone else’s scheme.”
Pamela gets a headache when she thinks about Nock in the office now. The Nock now is completely different from the one half a year ago.
But Nok's temper was getting irritable day by day, not a sudden change, otherwise they would all wonder if Nok was possessed by something.
Milady had secretly investigated, and even with the ability of the light elemental elf, he didn't notice anything wrong with Nok's body.
But the changes in Nok were real. Milady was worried and decided to risk going to the Holy Court and contact Saint Rusty!
After all, Nok is also the saint's godfather.
She wouldn't really be indifferent to her godfather, right?
The problem is, Milady has been away for a month and he still hasn't come back.
You know, Milady not only has wind flying spells, but he can also teleport over long distances. The speed of traveling is definitely faster than that of a carriage, but no news has come back for a month. This is very abnormal.
In fact, no news came back from the spies arranged by [Ye Sha] along the way, which had to worry them.
No matter how worried Lena and Pamela were, they could not stop Nok from leaving.
But what surprised them was that Nok was not alone.
In addition to the carriage and driver he rode in, Nok also named Hope and set off with the entire Shadow Knights.
Watching Nok's carriage go away, Lena and Pamela felt the pressure on them increase again.
Without the combat power of the Shadow Knights, Reina's Wind Knights were a little helpless.
Fortunately, the new knights have been reorganized.
Although it is only a regular knight group of 300 people, in the past six months, they have been selected by Reina personally, and then trained by the two teams of Hayate and Shadow.
They can't be called elites now, but they are much stronger than the private soldiers of the nobles in Lance City.
Although there was pressure on Reina's shoulders, she was not very worried in her heart.
As long as nothing happens to Nok, no one would be stupid enough to go against the power of a saint-level master.
Moreover, Leo and Sophia, who left, have made a lot of noise recently.
In half a year, two cities were captured and the forces inside were conquered.
You know, the entire Champagne Territory only has seven big cities, and the rest are small towns and villages.
Leo and Sophia control two cities. Together with the city of Reims, the Reims Cathedral has half of the sphere of influence of the Champagne Territory. After all, Leo and Sophia are still nominally members of the Reims Cathedral. people.
To take action against a force that occupies half of the territory of Champagne Territory, everyone has to think carefully.
As Nok left, several homing pigeons flew into the city of Reims.
Some went north, some flew south, and one even flew east.
Half a day later, at the Prime Minister's Palace in the Royal City, Roger Feit hurriedly opened Richelieu's study with a piece of information that had just arrived.
"ah!"
In the study, a woman's exclamation could be heard, as well as the rustling movement of getting dressed.
Roger Feit quickly closed the door with an apology on his face: "Sorry, Lord Richelieu, I didn't mean to disturb your mood. I really have important information to report to you."
Richelieu sat calmly behind his desk and let the dressed woman arrange his clothes.
"Roger Fit, could you knock on the door first next time?"
Although his face looked calm, Richelieu was still very shy inside.
It would be disgraceful to be caught by his subordinates.
It's just that this kind of thing happened more than once or twice, so he developed his shame.
He has many capable people under him, many more capable than Roger Fite.
But there is no one as loyal as Roger Fite.
Therefore, even though Roger Fite broke into his good deeds many times, he refrained from getting angry.
But once it happened more than once, I still felt very annoyed.
"I have remembered it, but this news is too important. I think you must know it immediately."
Roger Feit defended himself for a moment, and then handed the note in his hand to Richelieu.
At the same time, he glared hard at the woman peeking behind Richelieu.
It wasn’t that Roger Fit didn’t know what Richelieu was doing in the room, he did it on purpose.
He was dissatisfied with this peeping woman and wanted to keep this woman away from Lord Richelieu.
But it seems that the adult is fascinated by this woman, and many things are not hidden from her.
This made Roger Feit very uneasy and unhappy.
Fortunately, the content on the note was very ordinary, so it didn't matter if it was peeked at, but it was extremely important to Richelieu.
