The Dark King

The light of daybreak shone on the clock tower of Martha’s Square. The soldiers on duty who were not sleeping all night were bathed in the morning light. The body infested by the cold slowly recovered some warmth and vitality. They relieved their breath and wanted to spend another hour. , It's about seven o'clock.

At this moment, a sound of horseshoe suddenly came, and saw a dozen knights wearing bright silver armor galloping from the avenue outside the square, riding all the way to the bell tower, strangling the horse rope for the first middle-aged knight , Looked up and said: "The soldiers on duty listen, Lord Pope will hold a blessing ceremony here in an hour, and now immediately ring the blessing for life, and tell everyone."

The soldiers on duty were stunned and immediately rejoiced and excited. Unexpectedly, the Pope would come here in person, which means that they can admire this great person up close. This is a kind of glory!

Boom, boom, boom...

The melodious blessing bell sounds differently from the normal morning bell. The blessing bell needs to ring 18 times in succession.

The bells were heard from outside the square, and the nearby residents suddenly woke up from their sleep. Hearing the endless bells, some older people had not counted them one by one, just from the duration of the bells. Then, he judged that it was the bell of prayer, and immediately awakened his wife and children, preparing to go to the square early to seize a good front position.

The blessing festival is different from the blessing festival. The blessing festival can be held at any time, but it must be held by the cardinal elders in the light of the Holy See to be eligible to be held. It is often held during the black snow season and frequent rains. Pray with gods to avoid plagues and disasters.

For ordinary people, being able to get a blessing on the blessing festival is an undesirable thing.

With the bells ringing, the knights of the Holy See successively dragged the carriages with wood and racks to the square to build the blessing altar. These woods and racks are finished products, and only need to be assembled.

With the passage of time, more and more people gathered on the square, and in an instant the whole square was full of people, noisy.

"Master Bishop, time is coming." A young knight with a shoulder of Venus bowed his head.

Ernorin nodded slightly, glancing across the crowd of people below the altar, and whispered: "Wait, the Pope has always been punctual."

"Yes." The young knight nodded respectfully.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the square, followed by a thrill of excitement.Earnolin heard the change, and immediately looked at the past, suddenly relieved, and saw an elderly figure wearing a luxurious golden robe slowly at the commotion, the ancient vine scepter symbolizing authority and honor was the pope. Richelieu!

Behind him, followed by two bright knights, one with flowing hair and blonde hair, obviously of noble origin.The other has black hair, about thirty, and looks mediocre.

The light knights stationed outside the square immediately stepped forward to guard. The crowd of people looked at the pope in surprise, especially the nearest one, so excited that they wanted to jump up on the spot, but there was no thought of rushing over to hug. The prestige brought by the robe and the scepter makes one dare not blasphemous.

"Actually the Pope!"

"It's the Pope who holds the blessing festival. My God, I saw the Pope."

"The Pope is so benevolent that he personally came to preside over the blessing festival."

A moving surprise came from the crowd.

In the aisle separated by crowds, Richelieu walked all the way to the altar with two attendants.

"Have seen the Pope." Ernorin immediately bowed respectfully.

The young knight on the side was also busy saluting.

Seeing this one of his most trusted powerful confidants, Richelieu nodded slightly and said, "How long?"

Elnorin respectfully said: "Return to the Pope, there are five minutes left."

"It doesn't seem to be late." Richeliu smiled slightly. "Is everything ready? Prayer words and holy books."

"Everything is ready." Ernorin looked respectfully, and then looked up at Richelieu, his eyes quickly swept over his body, but he saw no signs of injury, and he was slightly relieved and whispered. : "Pope, I have seen the handwriting you left behind, I don't know..."

"I will talk about this later." Richelieu interrupted his inquiries by raising his hand.

Elnorin reacted, nodded immediately, raised his head straight, looked at the square in front of him, and waited with the pope for the countdown of time.

Five minutes to say whether it was long or short, while waiting, Ernorin suddenly noticed the two bright knights beside the pope. His face seemed a bit strange, and there was actually a dark-haired man. Hair color has always been a slave or a civilian, but did not expect to be able to mix with Richelieu.

He glanced at it twice, and didn't see any peculiarities. Then he looked away and looked at the bell tower next to it.

The huge mechanical clock suspended from the clock tower slowly counted down, and finally reached seven.

A bell sounded loudly, and the blessing festival officially began.

Richelieu took the blessing words and holy books from Elnorin, with a solemn expression, and began to read the solemn opening words according to the process, and then the blessing words. This blessing word is not a simple sentence, but a very long one. A blessing from the Bible.

Du Dean stood behind Richelieu, silently looking at the square in front of him. When the words of blessing were finished, everyone and Richelieu entered the stage of prayer, folded their hands together, and looked pious.

Half an hour later, the blessing festival finally ended.

Richelieu said to Elnorin: "Let everyone else go, you come with me."

"Yes." Elnorin noticed the strange look on his face and immediately said solemnly.

Richelieu brought Elnorin to a nearby tavern, and ordered several of the entourages to empty the tavern, sent him out, and then took Elnorin and Dudian and another servant player. Neuss entered the tavern.

Ernorin saw these two attendants coming in, frowning, and said, "The two of you go out first. I have something to talk to the Pope."

Richelieu waved his hand: "Why, they can trust it."

Ernorin was stunned, and could not help but glance at the two knights more.

Richelieu coughed lightly and said indifferently: "Someone in the Holy See wants to stab me. Fortunately, I didn't succeed. However, I can't return to the Holy See for the time being. I don't know who the murderer is behind the scene. It’s up to you to take care of things big or small."

Elnorin eagerly said: "Are you really okay?"

Richelieu shook his head slightly, "No problem."

Elnorin said: "The Holy See is the safest. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if you were outside? Otherwise, I would send some more people to protect you and let the King of Light protect you personally."

Richelieu waved his hand. "I don't know whether the murderer behind the assassination has anything to do with the King of Light."

Ernorin stayed for a while, suddenly unable to speak, suddenly felt a chill, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "If you let me catch who, I must make him look good!"

Richelieu patted him on the shoulder. "If you have a chance, help me pay more attention."

"I will." Ernorin looked solemn, and suddenly thought of something, said: "I will send a few more of my heart to protect you, otherwise if you are outside..."

"No, having them protect me is enough." Richelieu waved his hand.

Ernorin couldn't help looking at the two attendants again, with a dignified look in his eyes, and a trace of jealousy. He knew that Richelieu didn't trust him completely, but he trusted the two men 100%. Otherwise, it will not be at this critical moment, and give yourself to them to protect.

"I'm gone, you have to protect yourself too." Richelieu said with a deep heart.

Ernorin looked at him, feeling that he seemed to want to tell himself something, and after thinking about it, he should remind himself not to be assassinated by the murderer behind the scenes.

Taking off her gorgeous robe, Richelieu took a plain coat from Du Dean, put on it, put on a hood to cover his face, turned and left the tavern, and took Du Dean and Noyce along the street and walked around. Seven or eight streets turned to the suburbs before returning to the old castle by the Moza River.

"How's it, I'm okay?" After entering the castle, Richelieu took off his hood, exhaled lightly, and turned to Du Dean. "You told me what I said, I said it all."

"It's okay." Du Di'an said casually, ignoring him. He quickly stepped up the stairs and came to his room. When he saw Helissa sitting on the bed, her heart settled down.

He stepped forward to take Helisa's little hand and took him out of the room and back to the hall downstairs.

Richelieu said: "What are you going to do next?"

"Did you have eyes and ears in the dark church?" Du Dean stared at him directly.

Richelieu was slightly stunned, but he felt a little hesitant in his heart, but when he thought that the matter had come to this, he could gain Du Dean’s trust for a few eyes and ears. The people of the Holy See, another is the strongman under the sword king, Riley, he is the person I placed next to the sword king, and was once the most brilliant genius swordsmanship master of the Bright Holy See."

Du Dean's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at him. "The best, you are sent to be an undercover.

Richelieu smiled bitterly: "I just want to sharpen him, the sword doesn't need to, and sooner or later it will rust."
