glorious fall

Chapter 16

Several days passed, and Miss Potty, who finally woke up, half-lyed on the bed, and told her nephew, Weaver Girl, Sandra and others what happened that day.

The corners of the wrinkled eyes are a little loose, with a bit of the old man's lifelessness after injury.The old lady held her niece's hand, her voice hoarse, "At the beginning, I took potatoes out of the willow basket, and I was about to make dinner, and I just walked to the cabinet," she gasped at this point, and unconsciously moved Li Ya's wrist clenched tightly, "As soon as I opened the cupboard door, before I could react, I was knocked to the ground by..." She couldn't help touching the hidden wound on her chest, "It's a man with a face covered in sackcloth. He is tall and strong. When I was struggling on the ground and wanted to call you, he came over and dragged me inside... Then when I was in a daze, I saw him stepping on the stone platform, turning over the kitchen window and leaving... "

Sandra asked: "Miss Potty said you saw a tall man with a sackcloth covering his face, so did you see what he was wearing?"

Miss Potty thought about it carefully, then shook her head, "He is wearing clothes made of sackcloth, not like our mountain people's style, the coat is longer, not the style worn by working people... To be precise, Feeling with this person, weird, that's all I remember."

Sandra opened her eyes slightly, turned her head, and exchanged a glance with her knight captain Fist. The latter nodded, saluted and then left.

Hillary Reid stepped forward and said, "Since Miss Potty is awake, she should be happy and relaxed, then I will step back and prepare lunch for everyone."

The two women were extremely embarrassed and thanked her repeatedly. Leah helped her aunt to lie down, and then went downstairs to help in the kitchen. Sandra watched her go downstairs quietly and gracefully with her thick wool skirt, and turned her head to Miss Potty. After telling him to take a good rest, he took Lin Pei downstairs to the small river outside the bishop's mansion.

"My lord Demon, the time and place for the teaching tour has been arranged. It will be in the Camela Church across the river in six days. Do you think it is okay?"

Sandra thought for a while, then nodded, "Very well, by the way, I have something I would like to ask you to answer."

Lin Pei was flattered, "Please tell me."

Sandra stopped in her tracks, turned sideways and asked, "May I ask, after you got the news that I was coming to the city of Somera to teach teachings, did any strange or unfamiliar people come to you?"

Lin Pei was stunned, and thought about it carefully for a while before shaking his head, "No, don't talk about strange people, even acquaintances don't meet very often, because I am busy to meet you and make sure your way into the mountain is smooth. For a long time, I lived in the post station at Jinshankou, and I didn’t even know how to make a home.”

It’s no wonder that when entering the mountain, I didn’t feel that the mountain road was not too rough and difficult. Sandra was moved and thanked him, which embarrassed the honest and honest Bishop Somaila. Sandra Seeing that he was also a little uncomfortable, he stopped and asked again: "So, are you assured of the safety of the two weak ladies at home?"

Lin Pei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he hadn't thought carefully. At that time, his aunt and sister promised to protect his safety, so he went to the post station with peace of mind. Now that he thinks about it, he really feels a little scared.

Sandra sighed slightly, and finally knew why this person hadn't been able to take a step up in this position for so many years. Really, honesty and honesty are only on the outside, and they are really stubborn on the inside...

It seems that he can only ask Lia when she is more relaxed. Time is limited, and he must quickly determine whether his uncle who should go to hell did something good.

Lin Pei looked at the gloomy Sandra and shuddered inexplicably.

Far away in Steinta Province in the north of Western Olis, an old man wearing a sable fur coat was sitting in a small hall. The stove beside him was burning vigorously. The fruity scent is obviously the charcoal made in advance by felling fruit trees in summer. Outside the window, the sky is covered with heavy snow, and the thick snowflakes overlap several layers. Only the Christmas roses in the greenhouse are still in bloom. Stands out against a flawless white background.

The old man coughed suddenly, the attendant standing in the corner immediately stepped forward and patted him on the back gently, another person hurriedly brought a glass of warm water, and when the old man's cough symptoms subsided, the two stepped back and stood up as before, the whole The small hall returned to silence, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

The sky was getting dark, and the attendants were hesitating whether to persuade the old man to go to dinner, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard gate, and then a peripheral attendant came in to report, "My lord, Lord Gerry, please see you!"

The old man pressed his hand, and the man went out to greet him.

The person being ushered had already reached the entrance of the small hall, the snow from his body was shaken off by an attendant, and he took the fur coat and fur hat he had taken off, and another attendant immediately put another fur coat on him, and only then did he attract him. enter the door.

"Lord Chester, I have delayed my journey due to the avalanche in Etoli Snow Mountain, please forgive me!" After entering the door and saluting, Gerry hurriedly explained.

Chester smiled and waved his hands, "Thank you for your hard work, come and sit down, you have to hurry as much as possible in such bad weather, just now I was worried about whether you had an accident, now you are fine, and you will be okay in the next few days." Nothing to do, you just stay here for a while, wait for the snow to stop before leaving."

Gerry said with a moved face: "I have made you wait for so long, and you have to worry about me—I really feel guilty, oh, yes," he took out a four-finger wide roll from his close-fitting pocket parchment, "This is the reply letter from that adult."

Chester took it, untied the string, unfolded it, looked at it for a while, first frowned, and then laughed loudly after reading it: "This old man is really hot! In the end, he will find me wrong , which reassures me."

Gerry looked curious, "My lord seems to be very happy because of that lord's letter."

Chester slowly put away the parchment letter, picked up the pipe on the table and tapped it, took two puffs, and after spit out a few eye circles, he said casually: "So we came here together all these years, and there was You Reese, now he passed away suddenly, and he didn't even catch up with the Truffle Festival. He has fought so hard all these years. Now I should also admire the incomparable wisdom of the previous pope. The Clothes Bishops were dismembered by him in this way, and no one can stay safely in the main city to die well... Hmph, he is proud, but unfortunately, he will not be proud for long, no, he can't see it at all, this one should go to hell guy!"

Gerry was taken aback by his sinister expression, and subconsciously wanted to say goodbye, so he heard Chester's proud voice, "Heavenly Father has always favored us loyal believers, Gerry, you are someone I trust, today I Let me tell you in detail, why, I insist on prying the man from the main city off his seat, to be precise, why, I am sure I will pull him off his seat!" He looked excited and fierce, and the pipe was held by his trembling hand. There was a bang on the edge of the marble table, coupled with the rapidly darkening sky outside, there was more ferocity and horror for no reason. Gerry even trembled, but he didn't realize that his hands were shaking so badly. He looked at the old man in front of him. There was an almost crazy and greedy look in his eyes, which made him a little scared, and also gave birth to an extra excitement, and he couldn't wait to hear what he said.

Chester leaned forward and stared at him with a sinister smile, "If the loyal believers of our Heavenly Father know that the one in the main city is the illegitimate son left behind by the previous pope when he toured the country, even when this illegitimate son grew up And then do whatever it takes to support him to climb up quickly, Gerry, you know, maybe even a slight sign of jealousy, when the guy was 20, he entered the College of Cardinals, you know? This is the closest thing to the Pope Now, Sandra, the castrati-looking Archbishop of Lemans, who imitated his damned father. The previous Pope hated me for competing with him for the Pope. When he ascends After taking office, within three years, he exiled me to this hellish place! Hehe, now is the time for him to go to hell!"

Gerry suppressed the turmoil in his heart forcibly, and stammered and asked: "Are you, and those other adults, all victims?"

Chester sneered a few times, "Yes, after all these years, it should be enough!"

In the side hall of Fengse Palace, Tanglas was enjoying afternoon tea with two trusted subordinates.

"Because of the severe cold this year, the rye malt planted in the northerly regions has been completely frozen due to the abnormal climate. Seeing that the harvest in the north will decrease a lot this year, the Holy See will definitely subsidize it. What will Archbishop Chester do when he asks?"

Tangglass glanced at the worried Kailius, shook his head and laughed, "Did you get infected by the guy next to you? He wants it, but we may not give it to you. Besides, what should we do if we can't afford it?" After finishing speaking, he pretended to be helpless. Shrugged.

Kailius buried his head in his tea in silence, thinking that His Majesty the Pope seemed to have started to look like a rascal during the day?

Kongsfield also began to silently examine whether he had really lowered his partner's IQ.

Tang Glass looked at the two silent subordinates, angrily and amused, straightened his expression, and said, "Is the result I want the result I told you to achieve?"

Kailius first replied: "The provinces of Berger, Bourson, and Leman, plus the army in the main city, total more than 7 people. Under our control, the provinces of Fliranda and Monta are still We are waiting and watching, but Monta Province is your Majesty's hometown, and you will join us soon, this year's poor harvest will definitely become a fuse, and whoever can hold their breath will be the winner."

Tangglass smiled knowingly, raised the wine in his hand, "I appreciate you more and more, Caelius."

Kailius raised the wine glass on the side, the two clinked glasses, looked at each other and smiled, and drank each other down
