169. The crown has been false since ancient times
169, The crown has been a great false false since ancient times
Now Luz only has the power source like Adillo, and has not reached the level of complete "personal manipulation". It is far from the condition to complete "personal replacement" and become a dark undead who returns to the world. What he needs to do now is to try to find more power sources - before Avtana saw the Marquis of Lington, Luz had already found Lington.
"Luze, in terms of our past friendship, today I will not expel you or destroy you, but it is impossible to summon you. Don't forget my identity. I am the royal noble of the Kingdom of Spia. Although there are six heirs ahead of me, except for Prince Carlyle, everyone else is older. Once Prince Carlyle has any accidents, I will become the most likely alternative heir to the throne. Therefore, my behavior represents a country and some things cannot be done, such as summoning a dark undead into my soul. This is likely to be a disaster for a country." Marquis Lington said with his eyes looking at the sea outside the window, and did not look for the place where the undead Luze was.
The undead Ruz found the Marquis of Lington, but the Marquis of Lington simply refused to meet him, which was in the residence of the Marquis of Lington. The Marquis of Lington invested in a luxurious apartment in the bay area in central Uu, and specially invited a professional butler and two waiters from Geely. His private yacht was parked in the bay. He always paid attention to comfort in life.
Luz's voice continued to come to Lington's ears: "Dear Mr. Marquis, as you said, if there is anything unexpected happening to Prince Carlyle, you will most likely become King Spia. Maybe I can help you, can we help each other? When I am strong enough, I will have more sources of strength, and I am familiar with Prince Carlyle and his friends..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a hoarse scream. Marquis Lington pulled out a short sword, holding the sword inverted to the bottom of the hilt of the sword, and the golden crystal inlaid inlaid with a dazzling light. He sneered: "Do you think I want to be a king? Then you are wrong! I can enjoy the life of the royal nobles now and receive courtesy in all parts of the world, but I don't have to attract attention like the king, so I would rather wish Prince Carlyle a long life!...I may not make much contribution to my country, but I will never hurt the interests of this country because of me, and I will not use this to tempt me!"
Luz's voice struggled a little: "Then let me tell you, you are also one of the people who killed Wang Boqian. Haitian Valley, no matter whether you are a royal noble or not, the news has been leaked, and they will come to you soon to avenge you."
Marquis Lington: "As a Knight of the Templar, I did not make any mistake in participating in this action. Don't forget that Wang Boqian attacked me twice at that time, but I just waved my sword to defend myself and did not fight back. The three of you attacked him, and this account was not calculated on me. And as my identity, no matter where I am, it is impossible to do it easily - I am not so easy to be exploited."
Ruz: "Then why don't you let me go? Didn't you say that I won't destroy me today or expel me?"
Marquis Lington looked at the short sword in his hand, which was now facing downwards the sword hilt, and the top was inlaid with crystals like a magic wand with a short blade. He asked with a smile: "Do you know this sword?"
Luz: "The Knight's short sword and magic wand are combined into one. This precious holy weapon is a gift from the Supreme Seminary of Gambides to the Spia royal family. Only those with noble identities can possess it, and only those who are proficient in swordsmanship and magic can play a role."
The Marquis of Lington was still laughing: "Then have you found nothing else?"
Luz's voice suddenly became a little scared: "Confinement magic! How could you master it? What do you want to do to me?"
Marquis Lington stopped smiling and said lightly: "I will not summon the undead into my soul, but I can make a deal with you and want me to let you go and exchange something for it."
Ruze: "What?"
Marquis Lington: "The thing that Master Fudimo brought to you to Uyu, the star marrow, now called the magical magic stone. Do you want to know how I mastered the magic of imprisonment? That star marrow was the first one I got. It was left in my hands for two months. I have gained a lot. Unfortunately, I can't keep it forever, but now I have a chance. If you die, where is the star marrow?"
Ruz: "That is a holy thing from the Holy See, how could I give it to you?"
Marquis Lington: "The dark undead is the enemy of the Holy See, how could I not bring back the star marrow?"
Ruz: "If the Holy See knows the news of my death, I will send someone to take the Xingzhi away. What will you do then?"
Marquis Lington sneered: "Star Marrow disappeared with you, what does it have to do with me?"
Luz: "What are the conditions for talking to me about this transaction? If I give you the star marrow, what can you give me?"
Marquis Lington's expression furious: "Do you think you are Archbishop Zhixu? You are just a dark undead now. What qualifications do you have to bargain with me? I let you go is the condition, tell me where the star marrow is collected and how to take it out?"
Luz's voice became weaker and weaker, but it had a cunning and sinister meaning: "Okay, I tell you, you will get the star marrow!... Let me go."
Marquis Lington suddenly used magic to imprison Luz's undead, using this as a threat to exchange the star marrow, which also reminded Luz of one thing, that is, the whereabouts of the star marrow may become a secret. As long as he knows where the star marrow is, it will be a bargaining chip for exchange with many people. Lington stealing it is not without him, and it may not be a good thing for Lington himself, so he simply agreed.
Marquis Lington looked out the window and said, "God gave this world a magical philosopher's stone. If it belongs to me, I will have endless sources of miracles. Feng Junzi, you have conquered Avtena with your magic. My wealth, status and infatuation are not enough to impress her. Then one day, I will have more magical power."
Just then someone outside the door reported: "Sir, Miss Avtina Wiener asks for a meeting."
Lington showed surprise: "Please, no, I'll go and greet her."
Marquis Lington put away his sword and walked out of the room and walked quickly to the door of the apartment. He shouted on the stairs: "Dear Ana, this is the first time you have visited Uyu since you came to Uyu. Please please, please, it is such an honor!"
Lington gave Avtina to a small private reception room. After the waiter left, Avtina asked directly without waiting for the Marquis of Lington to ask: "Punis, you were also present on the day when Wang Boqian was killed. Who killed the person?"
Lington was surprised: "I didn't expect you to ask this question? This is a secret, but I will not hide it when you ask me. Wang Boqian committed suicide. Before he died, he was stabbed by Adillo. We were all carrying out the tasks assigned by Archbishop Luz..." He told the story of the day calmly, without any concealment, exactly the same as Adillo's story.
Avtena's face relaxed a lot, and she nodded and said, "So that's true, but I still have a problem that I can't figure it out."
Marquis Lington: "If you have any questions, just say them, and I will do everything possible to relieve your confusion."
Avtena: "Adilo was hurt by Wang Boqian that time, but he told me that Feng Junzi hurt him. You and Luz knew that he was lying, so why didn't he expose it?"
The blue veins on the forehead of the Marquis Lington couldn't help but jumped a few times, and his face was still kind and said: "I think everyone is for your own good. Feng Junzi is the shame of the Wiener family and your enemy, because you have been deprived of your honor. We actually hope that you can restore your glory with your own hands."
Avtenten stood up: "We can hate someone, but this does not mean he is guilty! If the Holy Seeks this again, tell them that I would rather lose all my glory than hurt Feng Junzi again."
Lington also stood up: "You no longer hate him? That's good, I can understand you! Forget this pagan, he no longer has anything to do with you, just pretend that this person has never existed in the world. He has been entangled in your soul for the past twenty years, and forgetting is also a kind of relief. You and me, I, who truly loves you, have happiness and let go of all troubles, no matter what hardships you or the Wiener family encounter, I will do my best to help you!"
Avtena looked at him with a little warmth in her eyes, and she smiled faintly: "Punis, do you really love me?"
Marquis Lington folded his hands on his chest: "Everyone in the world knows, do you only don't believe it?"
Avtina shook her head gently: "If I had married you long ago, what would happen today? Have you really gained love? Don't forget that the love you are studying does not exist!...The entire Western aristocratic circle knows that you are so enthusiastic about me, especially when I rejected the proposal of the king of the Tulip Principality King, my pursuit of me has become a symbol of your life, and my name has been linked to your identity....Do you love me? I am just a goal you are pursuing. As for who I am no longer important, you have to love, just like I had to hate Feng Junzi. Everyone thinks that I should hate him and should kill him, but in fact they are all wrong, and you are also wrong....I already know that liberation, and you should also learn to give up."
Marquis Lington's face turned red: "I know you have rejected your king, in the name of the saint, and I am not willing to be a king! But how can you compare a pagan to a king? It is blasphemy!"
Avtana turned around and walked out the door: "It has nothing to do with who is the king or not. God does not need Caesar's crown. He is not the king, but I believe in God."
Bai Shaoliu, who was far away in the secret room of Zhongnan Mountain, was not clear. His name shocked the Holy See again because he killed Archbishop Luz, and he even got a nickname that was circulated in private - the Bishop Killer, because the last Bishop Uyou also died at his hands. This time it was changed to Ruz, who had just been promoted from Bishop Uyou to Archbishop Zhixu Country.
The Knights of the Templar are responsible for monitoring and reporting all affairs in the parish. Adillo and Lington respectively reported the detailed process of the incident to the Holy See. This is what is written in Adillo's report—
Bishop Luz investigated the death of the priest Heinte and found that two Kunlun practitioners appeared in Qixianling at that time. One of them was named Wang Boqian, a disciple of the Kunlun practice sect, Haitian Valley. He led people to find Wang Boqian to find out the details of the matter. Wang Boqian suddenly took action to hurt people. In order to protect everyone, Adilo had to stab Wang Boqian. Wang Boqian used evil magic to explode and seriously injured Adilo.
Yu Cangwu, the leader of Haitian Valley, found Wu You to seek revenge, but was forced away by Master Fudi Mo. Bai Shaoliu had a personal relationship with Wang Boqian and Yu Cangwu, and killed Archbishop Luz in order to avenge him. Archbishop Luz was suddenly attacked and plotted against when he was out alone. The others in the diocese were not aware of the matter and did not have time to help. Bai Shaoliu himself announced the matter. At present, Bishop Luz has confirmed his disappearance, and Bai Shaoliu is missing. The entire Zhixu diocese is looking for Bai Shaoliu's whereabouts.
Adillo also mentioned his situation. At present, Luz is dead, and the Kunlun cultivation sect Haitiangu still wants to seek revenge on him. In order to avoid larger conflicts, he asked the Holy See to let him leave Uyou and return to the Tulip Principality.
Adillo's report did not mention Avtena was also involved in the matter, and the Marquis of Lington did not mention Avtena. The content was basically consistent with Adillo's report. Avtena was not clear about the blame for this matter, and Bai Shaoliu was completely responsible for it, because she had left the Holy See, and no one informed her, so she could not run to the street and shouted: "I killed Luz, and Luz became the dark undead!"
The Holy See was shocked after receiving the report. The Pope immediately recruited the archbishops in the cardinal and the elders of the seminary to discuss the matter with the mentors of the Knight Training Camp. The nature of Ruz's killing was completely different from that of Rashis. He was the Archbishop of Zhixu, who had just been appointed by the Holy See, and he was killed in the process of investigating Heinte's death!
There are three major things to be solved in the Holy See: the first is to investigate the murderer Bai Shaoliu, the second is to appoint a new archbishop as soon as possible to stabilize the situation of weak ambitions, and the third is to recover the missing star marrow.
The truth of a thing may be very different if it is slightly modified. Take Bai Shaoliu's killing Luz as an example. The cause and effect are natural. It seems that everything is true, but the starting point and end point of the key chain of evidence are biased. First of all, is whether Heinte's death has anything to do with Wang Boqian. This is entirely due to the judgment of the dead Luz, and it is difficult to find out and confirm it now. Secondly, is Luz killed by Bai Shaoliu? The truth is actually in Avtana's crystal ball. Luz was indeed caught by Bai Shaoliu, and it can even be said that Bai Shaoliu forced him to death, but he took it upon himself.
It seems to be honest in everything, only lying at the greatest critical point, and everything is in line with one's own interests. This is the most common method ever used by Western interest groups.
In any case, the Holy See must first find Bai Shaoliu. If Bai Shaoliu falls into the hands of the Holy See, it will probably become guilty. Fortunately, Bai Mao is clever and takes Qingchen and Xiaobai to Zhongnan Mountain. Not to mention the Holy See, no one can find anyone now. Zhuang Ru and Huang Jing are just ordinary people, and they don’t know anything about this. No matter how much the Holy See pursued them, they can’t treat these two ordinary people. They can only wait for Xiaobai to appear.
As for the appointment of Archbishop Zhixu, there were some twists and turns. In private, some people even discussed whether this was a post to die. The headquarters of the Holy See Kingdom in Wuyou is located in Wuyou. Archbishop Zhixu is also Bishop Uyou. The first Bishop Uyou Rashis was killed by Xiaobai, and the second Bishop Uyou Ruz was also killed by Xiaobai. The third Bishop Uyou must take the task of chasing Bai Shaoliu to take office. Will anyone be killed by Bai Shaoliu if they are not caught? Of course, this is just a private discussion in public. No one said that.
Archbishop Yog, who was responsible for the missionary affairs of the East, proposed that the Marquis of Lington be succeeded as the Archbishop of Zhixu, but the Marquis of Lington himself firmly refused. Lington was a nobleman of the Spia Kingdom and one of the heirs of the throne. He took the initiative to become the Knight of the Templars, and he could not force him to not be the Archbishop of Zhixu. Fudimo proposed that Adilo be the Archbishop of Zhixu, and Adilo himself refused to accept it, and asked to be transferred from the diocese of Zhixu, and even asked for punishment that he would not be willing to sit in this position.
Unexpectedly, the position of Archbishop Zhixu in glorious has now become a hot potato. The senior officials of the Holy See all their own ideas about this. They can't handle it at all. If you want to send it, you have to send disciples with outstanding abilities, talents, and prestige. However, such disciples are the favorite students or closest family allies of some people here. Isn't it a dangerous situation to send them to the scene at this time? Although this position is very attractive, no one wants to send someone close to them to take risks.
In the end, the Holy See decided to promote an archbishop among the existing clergy in Zhixu. Demprido originally wanted to till Ron Porter, but as an open clergy, he could not get married during his priesthood, and Porter was already married. As a cardinal who did not hold a priesthood publicly, he naturally had no problem, but as a formal archbishop of Zhixu Kingdom, it was impossible. After discussion, he temporarily appointed another cardinal, and also the priest of Zhixu Cathedral, Jacob, succeeded Archbishop of Zhixu Cathedral.
Fudimo was the most anxious task to recover the Star Marrow, because he handed over the magical magic stone to Luz. With Luz's death, he was also responsible. Many people in the Holy See believed that the magical magic stone fell into Bai Shaoliu's hands, so they were very active in this task. Fudimo even asked the Pope to send him to Wuyou in person.
But Fudimo did not succeed. Just when the Holy See was unsettled for several days, a riot occurred in Marro at the foot of the Gambidis Mountain. I don’t know how the riot occurred. According to the investigation by the police in Marro, people of color who lived in slums in the suburbs were dissatisfied with the authorities’ policies and welfare benefits. They also believed that they had been discriminated against inauguration and civil rights. A group of young people began to burn the garbage dumps in the city. The police were ordered to stop the conflict, and the situation became increasingly widening and formed a violent incident that spread throughout the city.
Before the incident was settled, the cleaners of Marro City organized another strike, which made the beautiful ancient city full of garbage and smelly. The sacred Cathedral of Gambidex was also affected by this incident. They would also generate garbage and also needed to transport the cleaning workers down the mountain. This strike caused the Gambidex Mountain to pile up garbage.
These are all small things. What is important is that there are signs of dark creatures and evil pagan forces in this riot. Mount Gambides is the center of the Holy Light Church. For eight hundred years, I have not heard of any dark creatures or evil pagan forces in this area. Wouldn't it be similar to seeking death? But it happened!
One night, when the garbage dumps in the city were on fire, a golden light shot up Mount Gambides, and was immediately blocked by the magic circle protecting the Holy Holy Church. More than a dozen masters flew to the sky to check, but the golden light turned around and flew away, and even the Master Fudi Mo did not catch up. The next day was a full moon night, and a huge mirror appeared in the sky, reflecting a strange red luster, just like another huge red moon. This was a sign of the dark creatures being moved. Countless magicians flew into the sky to track down the caster of spells, but only killed a phantom, but the real person didn't catch it.
This makes the situation complicated. Obviously, there are powerful hidden forces operating in the Gambidex area. They don’t know the details of the other party. As the leader of the Holy See’s knights, Fudimo, the leader of the Holy See, could not leave, and the leader of the magician, Demprito, was not convenient to leave. No matter how fierce Zhixu was, he was thousands of miles away, and it was still important to the doorstep. Even a little bit of noise, the Pope and others attached more importance to it, so they only sent more than a dozen well-trained masters to Zhixu to assist the Grand Bishop of Jacob to find Xingzhi and Bai Shaoliu. If there is any clue, they should be rewarded immediately.
