scepter

Simon didn't quite understand what he meant, but Yannick didn't intend to explain so much. If his prediction was accurate, it is estimated that there will be news from the Holy See in a short time.

Although the monsters were wiped out, everyone still had lingering fears, especially those nobles who were terrified. The aftereffects brought to them by this scene were far-reaching. His lips were trembling, and he couldn't even walk, so he had to be helped out by the guards in embarrassment.

Alfonso VIII's courage is naturally not comparable to that of the nobles. He pushed aside the support of his attendants, walked down from the public gallery, and stared at the pile of stones that had been completely mixed with monsters. .

Simon was afraid that he hadn't learned enough lessons, and he was still thinking about fighting the Garter Empire, so he persuaded him: "A monster is not difficult to deal with, but my old friend, if all the people around you are replaced by monsters, you still find Come on, if their target this time is not Orthea, but you, the consequences will be unimaginable. At that time, there will be no need for any war. As long as they kill you, the entire Charlemagne Empire will immediately be in chaos , do you want your years of hard work to become like that?"

"You don't need to say any more, I understand." Alfonso VIII couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard his tone of scaring a child, "I didn't say that we must go to war with the Garter Empire!"

"Well, I'm very happy, you are a sensible person!" Simon stroked his white beard and smiled, "Since this is the case, don't you mind helping Bishop Hill and Prince Felton clear the suspicion?"

Alfonso VIII snorted and said, "I'm beginning to suspect something."

Simon: "What?"

Alfonso VIII squinted at him: "Bishop Hill is your illegitimate son, otherwise why would you protect him so much?"

"...!" The poor white-bearded Fasheng, who had never been married, choked on these words and didn't recover for a long time.

Soon, Alfonso VIII issued an edict announcing that the real murderer who killed Princess Orthea was a monster, and that the monster had been killed in full view. The empire withdrew the charges against Yanick Hill and Edward Chris and declared a state of war With this in mind, the Charlemagne Empire is willing to sign a friendly bilateral agreement with the Garter Empire to jointly deal with the increasingly rampant monsters.

Everyone couldn't react to Alfonso VIII's big move, especially the two duchies that had been tied to chariots by the Charlemagne Empire before. Generations scolded all over.

When you wanted to fight, you persuaded us to follow you, but now you don't want to, let us offend people for nothing, and get nothing!

But if the Charlemagne Empire does not fight, it is even more impossible for them to rush to the eggs to hit the rocks, and a war that is about to break out will disappear invisible.

Since Alfonso VIII took a step back, the Garter Empire naturally did not insist on fighting. Although Chris is tough, he is not a fool. He knows that with the current national strength of the Garter Empire, if he wants to win this battle, he has to pay. There is a huge price to pay, and monsters have to be prevented from getting in the way. It should be the best result if the two sides can negotiate peacefully.

Of course, the whole Garter Empire was more happy. Except for those who wanted to make money from war, no one wanted to see their homeland being invaded by a powerful empire, and then their families were ruined.

Because the truth about the killing of Princess Orthea came to light, Chris's ruling in the country became more justified. After his identity as a great magister was exposed, no one dared to use the name of an illegitimate child unwisely, illegal and so on. When he abdicated or stepped down, those people who originally looked down on him and talked behind his back changed their direction overnight, praising the wisdom of the regent.

Yannick was released from suspicion, and his freedom was restored. In order to show his generous gesture of apology, Alfonso VIII gave a lot of gold coins to the priests, saying that he would personally write to the Pope to help Yannick explain, and sent someone to Yannick and his party were sent back to the post house and took good care of them.

Bart and Baker received the news in advance, and they were waiting in the post house early on. Everyone was very happy to see Yannick and the others returned safely. However, four of them went there at the beginning, but now three of them came back. Alexander usually does not feel his presence. He is strong, but he is very trustworthy and dependable. Now that he is discovered to be a monster, everyone is in a bad mood.

Seeing their expressions, Yannick immediately guessed what they were thinking. He didn't say much, but asked Ai Fuli and the others to go back to take a shower and wash up first, and then set a time for everyone to gather in his room.

Although he was served with delicious food and drink every day during his house arrest, and had almost everything except being unable to leave the room, the mental state of "to be dealt with" and "to be free" were completely different, at least The silver-haired bishop hummed happily while taking a bath, which was completely impossible when he was under house arrest.

After taking a shower, he greeted a few subordinates with inexplicable expressions in a refreshed manner.

"Okay," Yannick looked at them amusedly, "What are you doing now? The crisis is over, you should be happy and happy, not like this."

"I'm sorry, Sir." Avery lowered his head, "We haven't discovered Alexander's true identity, so that it almost caused serious consequences."

"Yes, in this matter, we, as your subordinate officials, have an unshirkable responsibility." Augustine also said. "I hope you can give us punishment so that we can remember the lesson of this time."

"To be honest, I didn't notice Alexander's strangeness at first, until I asked him to send a letter to a mage." Yannick raised his eyebrows slightly, "If I say this, I need to reflect on myself. Well, you don't need to Worrying about this issue, we won’t be staying in the Charlemagne Empire for too long, if you have any place you want to go, you can take advantage of these two days to have fun.”

His eyes fell on the surprised Darwin priest, and he added: "However, red-light districts and brothels are prohibited from entering, which will seriously affect the reputation of our priest group. If I find out, I will strip him naked and give him a He cast a fixing spell and threw it in the Imperial Capital Square for everyone to watch."

Everyone knew who Yannick was referring to, everyone laughed, and Priest Darwin drooped his head depressedly.Isn't that what he likes, my lord bishop, I went back to the Holy See to help you intercede in front of Archbishop Gustav, and that's how you treat me!

Yannick didn't know about his mental activities, and continued: "Alexander's matter, I will write a letter to report all this to the Holy See, and wait for the Holy See's decision."

Ai Fuli hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, let's join hands with you. We are all responsible for what happened this time."

"No," Yannick shook his head, "You can't co-sign with me."

Facing the puzzled expressions of other people, he explained: "This time, don't have too optimistic hopes. Since I became a bishop, no matter what I have done, or even more outrageous things, the Holy See has never done anything wrong. By any means, it’s not a good thing.”

Avery was puzzled: "Your Excellency, what do you mean, what will happen?"

Yannick smiled: "I'm not sure, but it's enough for me to report the matter alone. Even if something happens, you can stay out of it. I believe the Holy See will not insist on holding you accountable."

Seeing what Ai Fuli and the others wanted to say, Yannick said again: "As long as you are still here, there is still hope for everything. It is better for one person to fall into the water than all of them to fall into the water."

Priest Darwin rubbed his palms: "Your Excellency is right, we should obey..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had no choice but to shrink his neck when he received Augustine's cold stare, swallowing the second half of the words in aggrieved manner.

Yannick found that he might have lit up the "crow's mouth" skill, and his premonition is always good but not bad.

Just a few days after he handed over the report, an old friend from the Holy See came, Archbishop Lahe.

As soon as Yannick saw Archbishop Lahe's expression, he knew that the news he brought must not be very good.

"Dear Yannick, you've caused too much trouble this time!" Archbishop Lahe complained a little. He looked at Avery, Augustine and others present, thinking that his successor The author's ability is not bad. In a short time, he turned a group of priests who were scattered and made up temporarily into his loyal subordinates.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to read His Majesty's edict," Yannick said with a warm smile, not surprised by his words. "Let me take a guess. Is His Majesty the Pope blaming me for not discovering that Alexander is a monster in time? Where does he want to exile me? Goddess of Light blesses me, it is best to exile me to the Principality of Ceylon, where the food is delicious." There are many things!"

Avery and the others were shocked. They didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. It stands to reason that Yannick discovered the monster and eliminated it. It should be a great achievement. Even if there is no reward, he shouldn't be punished. Judging from the archbishop's expression, the bishop's guess seems to be right.

"To be honest, I also admire you very much. You were able to fight fiercely with the mage and win the favor of the saint, but the Holy See didn't appreciate it very much, especially His Majesty the Pope, who summoned me over and held me in front of me. , say that you are a disgrace to the Holy See."

Archbishop Lahe had already said it very euphemistically. In fact, the scene was a bit creepy. His Majesty the Pope didn't get angry, let alone fly into a rage. He just described Yannick's crimes to Lahe in a flat tone, which made Archbishop Lahe sweat profusely on the spot. Because Yannick was recommended by him, the pope called him over like this, but also slapped him in the face, implying that he didn't know people.

"I'm sorry to let you be reprimanded, it's not my intention." Yannick sincerely apologized to him.

Archbishop Lahe waved his hand: "Okay, my dear, we don't need to talk about this in our relationship, but I only brought one bad news this time."

"Please tell me, I'm already mentally prepared." Yannick laughed.

Archbishop Lahe looked at him with a relaxed expression, and sighed: "Your Majesty's decree, because you did not discover the trace of the monster in time, and caused it to cause a catastrophe and endanger the reputation of the Holy See, so from now on, The Holy See will relieve you of all your duties in the Garter Empire."

Avery and the others shouted at the same time, but Yannick was unusually calm: "Then what about my successor? Has His Majesty the Pope explained my whereabouts?"

Archbishop Lahe said: "Your successor has also been decided."

He glanced at Ai Fuli: "It's Priest Ai Fuli."

Suppressing the head of the department and promoting the second in command of the original department is undoubtedly the best way to divide the hearts of the entire department. His Majesty the Pope's move is really not uncommon.

Everyone present knew it in their hearts, but they just couldn't say it out loud, and the obvious anger appeared on Ai Fuli's face.

Archbishop Lahe said again: "Your destination has already been decided by the Holy See, which is better than exile."

Yannick was aroused a little curiosity: "What is that?"

Archbishop Lahe coughed lightly: "Go to the Central Academy of Magic of the Garter Empire, and spread the greatness of light magic to mages."

Yannick: "..."

He was sure now, the old Pope really didn't like him!

He is determined to push him into the fire pit, and he will not give up until he is pushed to death!
