scepter

Since Vanserich became Pope, Gustav has been silent, but this does not mean that he willingly accepted this fact, but has been waiting for the opportunity to fight back, but because the old Pope was still there, for the old Gustav still had a little fear of the pope's city and scheming, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Now that the old pope died, his patience had reached its limit.

So Fanserich was not surprised at all that he would come to find him.

Sure enough, in the next room, Gustav was wearing a neat scarlet robe and holding a staff, waiting for the arrival of Fanserich, without any sadness on his face.This is also normal, given how much the old pope suppressed Gustav during his lifetime, even the pope, which was at his fingertips, flew away like a boiled duck, and now Gustav can still maintain a considerable amount of self-restraint It is very kind to laugh and celebrate the death of the old Pope.

Now that they knew each other well, there was no need for Fansherich to be courteous to him, and he said indifferently: "Archbishop Gustav, you are welcome, but I may not be able to receive you for too long now. , because His Majesty just passed away, and I need to arrange his funeral."

"Oh, this is really a sad thing. I express my condolences and regrets for the passing of the old Pope." Gustav said a scene in a hypocritical manner.

"Then what exactly are you doing here?" Fanserich asked.

Gustav glanced at the attendant priest in the room, and smiled: "I hope to meet with you alone."

He didn't even use honorifics, the attendant priest glared at him angrily, but Fansherich didn't seem to care about it, turned his head and said to the attendant priest: "Then you go out first."

"His Majesty?"

"It'll be fine." Vanserich told him, which drew Gustav's sneer, and he didn't know whether to laugh at Vanserich or the attendant priest.

After the attendant priest left, there were only two people left in the room. Fansherich looked directly at him: "What do you want to say, I don't have much time."

Gustav smiled, "Not long ago, I learned something that shocked me."

Fanserich's heart sank, and when he heard Gustav's opening remarks, he subconsciously felt that nothing good would happen. "What's the meaning?"

Gustav took his time and was not in a hurry, but what he said was astonishing.

"I never knew that His Majesty the Pope, who believes in the Goddess of Light, would collude with monsters."

After these words, there was a long silence in the room.

Two people stand and sit together.

Curiously, the pope is standing while the archbishop is sitting instead.

Vanserich straightened his back and remained motionless, while Gustav stared at him, trying to get some clues from his expression, but he was disappointed, as there was no crack in Vanserich's expression.

"I don't know what you're talking about." The young pope said calmly.

Gustav sneered, and he had no intention of keeping secrets anymore: "Just a few months ago, I heard a rumor that His Majesty the Pope would occasionally receive those priests or knights who were usually inconspicuous in the Holy See, and then Give them important tasks. This rumor made many people feel envious, but I was very surprised, so I sent someone to investigate secretly, and guess what I found?"

Of course, Vanserich would not answer him, so Gustav continued on his own: "I found out that those priests and knights who were favored by the Pope disappeared without exception after being received by the Pope. It never appeared again. Of course, due to the old pope's extraordinary methods and the fact that these people are usually not important, they didn't attract too many people's attention. However, I thought there must be some kind of conspiracy, so I investigated further. Go on, but I'm getting more and more shocked by the results of the investigation."

"It turns out that His Majesty the Pope, who has been shouting to destroy the monsters, is the real black hand behind the scenes. He secretly colluded with the monsters and pushed the monsters to invade the mainland. If I announce these crimes together with the evidence, what will happen to others? reaction?"

Fansherich was silent.

Gustav said lightly: "Let's speculate. The mages will definitely attack us in groups, as if they have picked up some treasure, and attack us desperately, and those nobles, they will be very happy and press on their heads The mountains above no longer exist, they no longer need to be under the control of the Holy See, and will take the opportunity to announce to everyone on the mainland how dark and shameless the Holy See is, they believe in the goddess of light, but they are even more filthy than the dark believers Despicable! Those commoners will never trust us again, and not only that, they might even scold us along with the nobles and mages."

"I just want to ask His Majesty the Pope, how do you plan to save this situation?"

Vanserich's finger holding the scepter moved. At that moment, he really wanted to kill Gustav right here, but his reason returned immediately. He knew he couldn't do that, Gus Taft dared to threaten him here, it must have been prepared.

"You said so much, it's all your own conjecture, I don't see any real elements in it." Fanserich looked at him coldly, "You can slander the old Pope's reputation at will, even if you are a red Archbishop Yi, also needs to be reviewed and impeached."

Gustav smiled, and instead of being angry at his words, he took out a parchment from the magic bag: "This is the result of my investigation, including the life and death of those who disappeared, and the people who used to live in the dark forest. The nearby villagers have seen the old Pope enter the forest, are you interested in taking a look?"

Fanserich didn't expect his private investigation to be so detailed. He involuntarily picked up the parchment, opened it, and his eyes fell on it.

The crackling sound of the fire in the fireplace was perhaps the only sound in the room. In this atmosphere, Gustav seemed to be able to hear Vasherich's heavy breathing. , he was very careful in doing things, and finally endured until the old Pope finally died, and then he came to the door.

In Gustav's view, although Vanserich is somewhat capable, if he is cunning and cunning, he is not at the level of the old Pope. He must regain his original position.

Once these evidences are released, it will indeed be like what Gustav said, the reputation and reputation of the Holy See will be poured down like a landslide in an instant, not to mention those outside the Holy See, even the Holy See will be torn apart and lose people's hearts The Holy See is definitely no longer the Holy See, so of course the Pope Vanserich has become a joke, especially the old Pope who did these things is still the teacher of the new Pope.

Taking a step back, Gustav doesn't even have to announce these things, he just needs to call all the cardinals and tell the story, even the old Pope's original loyalists, for the sake of the Holy See and himself, will definitely It is impossible to support Vaserich as Pope.

So Gustav was not worried at all that Fansherich would not compromise.

Sure enough, after a long time, Fansherich's dry voice sounded.

"what do you want?"

"Your position." Gustav's goal was always clear.

Fanserich was not surprised: "That's all?"

"Do you think I will want you to die?" Gustav laughed loudly: "As long as you are willing to voluntarily give up the position of pope, I will not kill you. Although I hate the old pope, killing you is very important to me." It’s no good to say, after all, you still have some supporters.”

Vanserich: "Is the assassination of Yannick Hill related to you?"

Gustav was taken aback, inexplicably: "What did you say?"

Fanserich saw that his expression did not seem to be fake: "Then, you swear that you will not leak the old Pope's affairs."

Gustav smiled slightly: "Of course, if I become Pope, leaking this matter will affect the reputation of the entire Holy See, so what good will it do me?"

After receiving his affirmative reply, Fansherich was silent for a long time, and said, "Let me think about it."

Gustav didn't expect him to agree to it right away. If so, it would be suspicious. After all, he has ambitions, and so does Vanserich. I can't keep it anymore, I have to struggle again.

"Okay, I'll give you one night." Gustav stood up. He was about the same stature as Fanserich, but at this moment he was condescending and cold. "If you don't give me an answer tomorrow morning, I will call a meeting of the archbishops directly. You should know that I have this power."

He didn't stop after he finished speaking, he left directly, and closed the door intimately by the way.

As soon as Gustav left, Vanserich immediately lost the strength he had pretended to be in front of people, and sat down on the chair slumped, wiped his face, looking tired.

He had long expected that the matter between the old pope and the monster would be exposed one day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, and the target was Gustav, which left him no time to prepare.

Now Gustav is aggressive, asking him to make a decision in one night, he just doesn't want to give him any room for regret.

Fanserich suddenly felt a little resentful towards the old pope.

Although he is a student of the old pope, the political ideas of the two are different. From the very beginning when the old pope told him about it, he was completely shocked, but he did not agree with it at all, but the old pope was in power at that time. , it is not his turn to question, if he still wants to inherit the Pope, it is impossible to openly oppose his teacher.

But the fact is that after becoming pope, he also hopes to try his best to make up for the mess left by the old pope, and to blaze a trail of his own political path without blatantly violating the old pope.

For example, the old pope said that Alfonso VIII might be assassinated, so he sent Yannick over there, calling it a mediation visit. The news that Yannick was assassinated and disappeared.

Another example is that the old Pope asked him to send some cannon fodder to the Duchy of Mecklen to die. He delayed as long as he could, but in the end he couldn't. He sent out people who he had repeatedly screened and determined to be useless to the Holy See.

Even so, bad news came one after another.

Now that the old pope is dead, he could have started to really walk on the path he wanted to take and officially cut off contact with the old pope, but at this time, Gustav came to the door and broke his fantasy.

Thinking of this, Fanserich felt a little disheartened.

It seems that there is no suspense whether to accept Gustav's threat or not.

He closed his eyes dejectedly, without speaking.

In the huge and ancient castle, the silver-haired priest was lying on the big bed with his hands on his stomach, sleeping peacefully.

The door was opened, and a man walked in, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, then bent down, lifted the priest's neck, and pressed his thin lips against his ears.

"Honey, it's time to get up," he said.

Of course the priest didn't respond.

The man was not discouraged either, he picked up the wine glass that was on the table next to him, took a sip of the liquid inside, then covered the priest's lips, pried open his teeth, and passed the water across.

Of course, it is impossible not to take advantage of the opportunity.

It is a rare opportunity for a beauty to be so docile and unresisting. While deepening the kiss, the man slid his hand along the collar of his nightgown, enjoying the smooth touch of his hand, and grasped a light-colored round bead. Roll between thumb and forefinger.

The soft balls of flesh hardened quickly. The man laid the priest's body flat, lifted his skirt, and sucked it up, while his hands went all the way down, familiarly finding something in the soft grass that was as quiet and sleeping as his master. , weigh it in your hand and play with it.

Under this kind of shameless teasing, it is estimated that even the dead will be woken up, not to mention the priest who has completely recovered from his injuries, but is still very weak.

His eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Honey, you're finally awake." The man noticed it quickly, but he still didn't stop the movement of his hands, he just moved his body up, half of his body was pressed against the priest, and his lower body squeezed into it. between his legs.

The azure blue eyes were dazed just after waking up, which made the whole face extremely innocent. The man seemed to like his expression very much, and couldn't help but kiss from his eyes all the way to the corner of his lips.

"How many days have I... slept?" Yannick cleared his throat, his voice was not very hoarse, because he had just been fed water.

"It's only been two days, dear, you've lost a lot of blood." The man grinned and gave him a handsome smile.

Yannick looked at his situation speechlessly.

The loose front of the clothes has basically been opened up to the shoulders, the body is presented in front of the man without any cover, and his legs are widely separated, which looks like a picture that can be picked at will.

But it wasn't this that made him speechless the most, but the layer upon layer of rose petals that covered the big bed.

An Si noticed his gaze, and immediately claimed the credit: "Do you think it's romantic?"

Yannick twitched his face, and really didn't want to hit him, "I remember I was in the carriage before, and then what happened?"

"Don't you like my arrangement? Why did you change the subject?" The man didn't intend to let him go.

Yannick laughed twice: "Can I say it's a bit vulgar?"

Ans: "No."

Yannick: "...well, it's very romantic, I like it very much."

Ans: "That's great, I filled your bathtub with flower petals, and you can take a bath in it later."

Yannick: "..." I am a man and not Concubine Yang!

Of course, a vampire from another world would definitely not know who Concubine Yang is. Even how to translate the name in the mainland language is also a problem. He has completely given up hope for the inexplicable romantic cells of the vampire. Yannick still cares about just now The problem.

Fortunately, the blood prince was very witty, and immediately gave him the answer: "You encountered four great magicians, and the three people who were with you were brought back by me. They are fine."

Yanick breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

If there is no Ans, the three of Avery and the others will face the four great magicians, and they all know what the ending will be. If they die in the Charlemagne Empire, Alfonso VIII, who has overshadowed the sky with one hand, has many ways to prevaricate To cover up the past, even if the Holy See pursues it, it will certainly not be able to investigate anything.

Anse: "You're welcome, dear, we should take a flower bath next."

Yannick was silent for a moment: "Can I refuse?"

Ans: "No way~"

Yannick: "...Don't pretend to be cute, okay? Thank you, you are in human form now."
