The Dark King

"Sooner or later, why fear?" Du Di'an said indifferently: "Be prepared."

Richelieu gave him a deep look, lowered his head, and said, "Yes."

Whoosh!

A snow dove flew down on the window sill of Carvey’s study. Carvey was recording the secret activities of the Dark Holy See in the third district in recent days. When he was about to be handed over to the Pope when he returned, he saw the snow dove disturbed by the sudden landing. He frowned, stopped the pen and took off the scroll on the snow pigeon's feet, slowly rubbed and shook his eyes, and after a while, his pupils shrank, and his voice was abruptly lost, "Transfer position? Give a little trainee Cavaliers promoted?"

The small fonts on the scroll are really real. After a while, Carvey slowly eased away. He still felt unbelievable in his heart, and even felt that someone secretly borrowed this channel of communication or replaced the letter.

"Verify it first and then say..." He thought to himself, and immediately pulled out a new piece of snow paper from the side and raised a pen to write.

Another famous poet, Antonia, was drinking wine, explaining the difference between the rhythm of classical poetry and modern poetry to his two proud students. Suddenly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Stopped the explanation and said: "After class today, you said above, you go back and think about it carefully. Remember, emotion is not the only thing in poetry. Poetry not only sings, but also criticizes. The most important thing is that poetry must have dignity. !"

"Yes."

"is teacher."

The two students respectfully got up and saluted, and left.

After the two students left, Antonia said calmly: "Sir, come out."

In a shadow at the back of the room, a figure in a black robe slowly walked out. The body seemed to be covered with fog. It was difficult to see his face and figure. He smiled lowly: "The master planted the hunter. The perception of the eyeballs is not comparable to ordinary people."

"Dare not." Anthony said indifferently: "Mr. is the master."

"If you win the prize, we will only engage in the misrepresentation of the evil door in your mouth, which is incomparable to you, a great poet with a serious sense." The black robe smiled happily, and then the laughter closed, saying: "Today I came here to find you, mainly because the Holy See handed you a task. I hope you will complete it within today!"

"Huh? What task?" Antonia frowned.

The black robe figure said lowly: "It's the same as before, still writing poetry, this time to write poetry praising a trainee knight of the bright Holy See, his name is'Barton'!"

"Sing praise to a trainee knight?" Antonia was a little surprised, and it was still the Holy See?When did the Dark Holy See be so kind?He thought about it and said, "What's so strange about this man?"

"There is nothing special about it, just an ordinary person." The black robe figure slowly said: "However, his identity is not very ordinary, and he is about to become the new pope."

"The new pope?" Anthony stood up from the chair and looked at the black robe in shock. "You mean, Richelieu is about to abdicate? How is it possible, how could this happen so suddenly?"

"It's very sudden, so you need to write an ode to the new pope to make everything look natural," said the black robe figure.

Antonia was startled, and suddenly realized that there was a chill in her heart, saying: "Could it be that the Dark Pope planned the alteration of the Pope? How is this possible!"

"These are not things you should know. You should now think about how to write good odes." The black robe said coldly: "After writing to the book club of the Rice Chamber of Commerce, they will print it for you as soon as possible. of."

"Rice Chamber of Commerce?" Anthony's face slightly changed, although he did not negotiate with the Dark Church, but he knew that behind the Chamber of Commerce was the Dark Church in manipulation, that is to say, this matter was completely planned by the Dark Church!

He is really unimaginable, how could the dark church suddenly be able to touch the pope's alternation. You must know that the light church has been suppressing the dark church for so many years, otherwise, the dark church will not succumb to the dark middle east and hide from Tibet After all, in the process of hiding, it is very painful for many dark believers. They are chased and killed, and they can’t see anyone. They can only live alone in a dark place, and life is very inconvenient, which also leads to many dark believers. With the longer the time of enrollment, the more weird and cold the temper.

But now, the dark believers directly control the heart of the light church, which is simply unimaginable!

Once the light church is controlled by the dark church, he can't imagine what the outer wall area will look like in the future. When light is reduced to darkness, but darkness blends into light, is it chaos or destruction?

His thoughts were a little confused and confused. Soon, the black robe figure interrupted his thoughts: "Another thing, at noon, the newspaper society of the Rice Chamber of Commerce sent someone to interview you. When interviewing, please be sure Support the new Pope Mr. Patton, he is a great leader, I hope you remember this!"

Antonia regained his face, his face changing, and he knew that the other party made him remember the meaning of this sentence, so that he should praise the new pope in the interview, and it should be carried out around this core, and there can be no other Reminiscent of negative words.

This interview is just a pretense. Even if he doesn't say that, most of the newspaper will "talk for him".

"I see." He bowed his head slightly and agreed to come down.

The dawn shone down from the slopes of Uto Mountain. The warm light dispelled the darkness and coldness that enveloped countless buildings. The newspaper brother was riding a fast horse and sent the newspaper to a family of households, some were noble estates, some were The rich courtyard, some are exquisite cottages, from the prosperous area of ​​the outer wall area, have been sent to the suburbs, and then various towns and villages.

Newspaper deliverers from various newspapers, like ants, wandered the streets and carried messages.

A farmer was drinking steaming thick soup, eating cheese bread, flipping through the morning newspaper at 7:30 in the morning, enjoying this leisurely breakfast moment, but when the newspaper opened, he was stunned and widened. My eyes, the soup that I drank into my mouth, I forgot to swallow, and almost ran out of the corner of my mouth, staring at the message on the largest section of the headline in the newspaper—

"Mr. Richelieu, the ninth Pope of the Bright Holy See, will inherit the position of Pope today and be controlled by a new God-given person!"

The farmer stayed half a while before reacting, and hurriedly looked down. After a while, he read the whole newspaper. At this moment, the heat on the soup was gone, and the cheese bread beside him was cold, but he completely I forgot and fell into contemplation.

You know, the pope's alternation, even for ordinary people like him, is a huge thing!In addition to spreading beliefs and building temples, the Bright Holy See also controls land division, taxation of some land, and asylum tax. The so-called asylum tax is required by everyone, even ordinary civilians in civilian areas. No exception, unless it is poor enough to be displaced into slums and become refugees.

This asylum tax includes a lot, the invasion of the dark believers, the invasion of monsters outside the wall, etc., but it does not include the attack of the beasts, which is the responsibility of the military department.

Therefore, if the Pope replaces, these taxes may change!This has happened in the past when the pope was replaced. Among them, the sixth pope changed the most, and increased the asylum tax by 10% at a stretch!It made all civilians miserable. Fortunately, the pope was attacked and killed by the dark believers after less than ten years.

It was also one of the few times in history, and many people were grateful to the dark believers.

"The new pope..." The farmer looks worried. This year's harvest is not good. If the newly-appointed pope raises taxes, his family will be burdened and even face the situation of dismissing the serf.

As the morning paper was issued, there was a series of exclamations in various manor courtyards. This sudden news made everyone unprepared. I did not expect this pope to change so suddenly, such a sudden change, in history Although there have been, but not many times, is there any accident happened to the body of the last pope?For a time, countless people guessed.

At the same time, he was full of curiosity about the newly appointed Pope.

In the room of the headquarters of the Tribunal, Fayette looked at the newspaper in his hand and read it over and over again. Every word was carefully read, and until there was no possibility of any mistake, he slowly put it down. The newspaper, with a loud bang, slammed the newspaper on the table suddenly, almost bursting flames in his eyes, "Damn Richelieu, what the hell are you doing?!"

"Sir, the pope wants to give way. Why did this matter not inform us? Could it be that he suddenly suffered from a sickness?" An old man wearing a robe of the priest asked next to him.

Fayyat clenched his fingers, crumpled the newspaper, clenched tightly, and said, "With his vigilance, do you think you will get sick? This old guy cherishes his life most, and the doctors around him They are the best in the outer wall area. If there is any disease, they will be found out!"

"Then why should he suddenly abdicate?" The old man of the clergyman was more puzzled. "Is the life coming soon? No, as far as I know, he should be able to live more than a hundred years."

Fayette said coldly: "This matter, you have to ask this old thing to know, damn, and don't know where he is hiding now. I heard before that he was attacked by an assassin, and some people sneaked into the top of the Holy See , So he disappeared. Unexpectedly, this disappearance caused such a big thing!"

The old man of the magistrate stunned: "Did someone hijack him and force him to pass the throne?"

Fayette narrowed his eyes slightly, "There is such a possibility, but it's not that big, this old guy's power...but it's much stronger than that Great King of Light!"

"Ah?" The old man of the clergyman was shocked.

"Immediately notify the presiding officers of the branch offices, so that they must dispatch everyone to find this old guy for me!" Fayette said coldly, "I want to see, he suddenly gave way so much What are you doing!"

"Yes."

At the same time, in the hall of knights, nine elders who had won the title of legendary knights all gathered in the hall of parliament. Ilola looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, Richelieu is going to abdicate. Things are too sudden, who knows Richelieu's whereabouts now?"

"Great elder, this matter is too sudden. If it is said that ordinary people can't get news, it's normal, but we haven't got any news in advance. Will there be anything in it?" another person said.

"Yes, in my opinion, Richelieu made such a decision, what should be the plan and purpose, had to guard!"

"Yeah, in recent years, the Light Holy See has become increasingly oppressive of our palace of knights. If nobles stand on line with us, we will suffer a big loss! However, the new rules of the Light Holy See five years ago, everyone Presumably, you know, any noble joining the Bright Holy See can pass the exam unconditionally, and after about three years of employment, they can become a formal light knight. If they perform well, they will improve faster! This rule is obviously to snatch us. Noble power!"

"There are many small movements in the Bright Holy See, hum!"

"I don't know if this is the case, is there any military cooperation."

Ilola listened to the speeches of the people and was silent for a moment before saying: "Be sure to find Richelieu before noon today! In addition, go and thoroughly investigate the background of the new pope!"

"Leave me the investigation of the new Pope!" one of the old men said voluntarily.

"OK!" Ilora nodded.

After a while, the parliament ended.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

The old man who proposed to investigate the new pope left the knight’s palace and went straight back to his castle. As soon as he entered the castle, he went upstairs to his room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the sofa in the middle of his room sitting. A figure wearing a black robe and a mask, enjoying it with tea, tilting Erlang's legs, and a black scorpion tattoo on his wrist.

Dare to engrave tattoos in such a conspicuous position on the wrist, it is obviously either a very careless rookie or extremely confident.

"What was the result of the meeting?" The black-robed man looked at the old man who entered the door with a smile.

The old man suffocated a little when he saw his comfortable appearance, and said, "Here is my house. You should be careful. If someone sees it, I will be exposed!"

"Don't worry." The black-robed man smiled and said: "If someone else approaches, I don't need to open the door, I will know."

The old man knew his abilities, but still felt that this attitude made him unhappy, frowned slightly, and didn’t pursue anything more. He sat on the other side of the sofa and said, "Everyone else thinks that this pope replacement is too sudden. There is no news in advance and I think there are any plans in it, so everyone is currently investigating and preparing to find out Richelieu’s whereabouts first."

"Well, this is what our grown-up expected." The black robe nodded slightly.

The old man moved his eyes and said, "Is that the adult?"

"It was the last time I told you." The black-robed man glanced at him. "One night surrendered to the elders of the twelve elders, our new speaker!"
