The Path of Ascension to the Priest

The arrival of the Holy Son weakened the smell of gunpowder/powder in the air. He signaled the knights of light standing on both sides to carry the bones of Cambecas down. He glanced at Gabriel and Reese, lifted his chin slightly, and said lightly: "The Pope Your Majesty is not feeling well, we will talk about the Black Witch at another time."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without giving the others time to respond. Gabriel raised his heels to follow behind him, and Reese lowered her head and fiddled with her sleeves.

The Holy Son paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Ruisi, and asked, "Ruisi?"

Reese raised her eyes and glanced at him, then walked slowly behind him.

After the three of them left the auditorium, the rest of them dispersed separately. Tang Qiu was still obsessed with the matter of whether the Holy Son was related to the descendants of the gods. As soon as he left the auditorium, he was stopped by three or four bishops.

Tang Qiu's footsteps stopped, and he looked at these people calmly, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and said softly: "Did you stop me because of the Archbishop of Campecas?"

Several confidantes of Canbecas, Tang Qiu, knew about it in advance when they entered the Central Holy See, but she only recognized one of the few people in front of them.

Those who can be trusted by Canbecas will not be stupid people. The death of Canbecas means that their backers have fallen. Smart people can’t wait to get rid of the relationship of "confidantes". Who would dare to take the initiative? Come to the door.

The few people who stopped Tang Qiu came for the matter of Cambecas. They felt that there was something strange about it, and the blond bishop had the most doubts, "Master Grace, I suspect that there is something strange about the death of Archbishop Cambecas , I hope you can hand over your guards, and we will investigate carefully."

Tang Qiu raised his eyebrows and said in a good-tempered manner, "Okay."

The faces of the others cleared up, but before they could speak, Tang Qiu said again: "The guards are with Archbishop Ruisi, you go directly to her manor to investigate."

The faces of the others darkened. If they dared to break into Ruisi's manor, why would they stop Tang Qiu here.

The leader frowned and was about to say something when his shoulder was patted suddenly. He turned his head to look and shouted in surprise: "Bishop Abel."

Abel nodded. He looked a little sleepy, and he only had a little energy when he looked at Tang Qiu, "What are you doing here?"

He yawned and greeted Tang Qiu, "Master Grace, I have something to tell you."

Tang Qiu didn't bother to continue entanglement with these people, so he smiled at Abel and followed him away.

The two started to communicate after they left the auditorium and saw that there were no other people around. The sleepiness on Abel's face disappeared completely, his eyes widened a little, and he asked in surprise, "How did you kill Cambecas?"

His tone was full of curiosity and amazement.

Tang Qiu chuckled, and said casually: "Go outside and see how powerful the Black Witch is."

She and Abel hold each other's handles, but it doesn't mean she trusts this person, how could the truth be easily told to him.

Of course Abel knew what Tang Qiu was thinking, he clicked his tongue, a little unhappy, "I saved you from those people just now."

Tang Qiu smiled at him and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Abel: "..."

It is too difficult to formulate words from this woman. Abel sighed, put away his playful heart and started to talk about business. He leaned over, looked slightly serious, and said in a low voice: "Cambecas is dead, you Any ideas?"

Tang Qiu looked at him sideways, his sky blue eyes slightly narrowed, and said softly, "For example?"

"He is the Pope's confidant." Abel blinked suggestively, and raised his hand to make a number. "One-third of the bishop's team is his people."

These people are not important, the position below them is what determines how much power a cardinal holds in his hand.

The election of a cardinal and even the election of a pope requires the participation of bishops.

With the support of the Pope, Cambecas has unscrupulously collected power for decades. After Reese appeared, he was forced to restrain himself, and some of the rights of his subordinates were also distributed.

Tang Qiu had already focused on the power in his hands when designing Cambecas, so she also understood Abel's hint, "Who do you represent? Archbishop Gabriel?"

Abel admitted generously, "I know you have an unusual relationship with Archbishop Reese, so do you want to consider cooperation?"

Cooperation... Tang Qiu looked at him probing for a while, lowered his eyes slightly and did not give a direct answer.

Cambecas died, and the pope didn't know whether he was hit or lacked energy. It seemed that he had no intention of coming out to clean up the mess, but this was just an illusion.

The "legacy" left by Cambecas is just a bomb, whoever swallows it greedily will only arouse the Pope's vigilance and be detonated.

Gabriel didn't dare to act rashly, but if you add Reese of the same strength, although it would be risky, you can still try it.

There is no permanent enemy, this is a win-win situation, and Gabriel believes that Reese will definitely be tempted.

It was already dark when Reese and Gabriel left the Son's manor. Their carriages were parked on both sides of the road. Gabriel bid farewell to Reese gently before getting into the carriage, but Reese just nodded indifferently. .

Seeing Reese come out and walk over, Mario called out in a low voice, "Bishop Reese."

Reese nodded and signaled Mario to follow her into the carriage.

During the retreat of the Holy Son, a lot of academic affairs had accumulated, and Ruisi felt her head ache after looking at it all day. She raised her hand to press her forehead, and leaned against the carriage with her eyes closed to rest.

Mario sat quietly opposite, and gave Reese some time to rest. After a while, he whispered, "Her Majesty the Holy Maiden just sent someone to invite you to her manor."

Rui Si frowned, and said coldly: "No."

After a while of silence in the carriage, Reese opened her eyes slightly, glanced at Mario, and asked, "Is the journey to escort Grace going well? How did Cambecas die?"

In order to prevent the letter from being intercepted and leaked, Mario did not write a letter to report to Reese in advance. Reese, like everyone else, only knew that Cambecas died at the hands of the black witch.

"The journey went smoothly. Bishop Grace has many...friends." Mario mused and said, "The Archbishop of Cambecas died in the siege of the vampires and werewolves."

Reese paused, not too surprised, "Werewolves and vampires." She knew that Tang Qiu had some werewolf and vampire friends.

Mario remembered the weirdness of the blond bishop he found, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "...I think Bishop Grace is a bit strange."

"Oh?" Reese asked, frowning, "What do you mean?"

Mario told Reese about the fact that he saw the blond bishop hold up a long arrow condensed with dark power and hit a dark elf with his own eyes in the elves' territory, and then told Reiss about the chaotic battle that night. After describing it again, he said in a dignified tone: "At that time, Bishop Grace disappeared under the protection of the guards without attracting anyone's attention. The blood field blocked the view, so I have not found Bishop Grace's whereabouts."

After the werewolf appeared, the situation was brought under control. Mario consciously looked for the blond bishop, but found that she was no longer nearby, and Cambecas also disappeared together.

Later, the blond bishop came back and communicated with the vampires and the werewolves, but he seemed to be closer to the werewolves.

It's really weird how a werewolf can get along well with a bishop who rejects the race of the Holy See so much.

After listening to Mario's statement, Reese frowned slowly. She propped her forehead with one hand, her green eyes drooped, and she fell into deep thought. The atmosphere in the carriage remained silent until she reached the manor.

After returning to the manor, a priest came to report to Ruisi that Tang Qiu and Monica were drinking tea in the garden. Ruisi paused, turned around and walked directly to the garden.

As soon as she entered the garden, she heard Monica and Tang Qiu talking and laughing. Reese could only see Monica's side face through the lush flower branches. Seeing her relaxed expression and a faint smile on her lips, she subconsciously stopped.

Reese stared at Monica quietly, because standing in the shadows, her green eyes looked dull, but her red lips raised involuntarily.

Since she brought Monica to the Central Holy See, Reese hadn't seen her smile from the bottom of her heart for a long time.

Ruisi stood in the shadow for a while, and noticed that Tang Qiu glanced towards her from time to time, knowing that she saw her, she walked out.

Tang Qiu looked up at Ruisi coming, and said with a joking smile, "If you don't come back, the tea will be cold."

Monica didn't turn her head when she heard the footsteps, and the smile on her face with her back turned to Reiss gradually faded, her eyes slightly drooping and unconsciously clutching the cup in her hand.

Reese walked to Monica and sat down, glanced at the teapot on the table, and asked lazily, "Who made the tea?"

Tang Qiu glanced at Monica on the opposite side, and said with a smile, "Bishop Monica."

"Oh?" Reese raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and snatched the cup from Monica's hand, lowered her head and sniffed it, and said with her lips curled up, "It's not hot enough."

Monica was startled, her face was slightly cold, and she frowned and said, "Why are you grabbing my cup?"

There was only a cup of tea left in the cup, and there was still a little warmth on the wall of the cup. Reese didn't speak, but just shook the tea in it carelessly.

Monica stared at her for a while, and suddenly found that her brows were slightly tired, and even her brows were subconsciously frowned. The anger in her heart slowly dissipated, she hesitated, and picked up the tableware with a cold face The teapot filled the cup in Reese's hand.

Reese was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Monica, who looked away, stood up and said expressionlessly: "You guys talk, I'm leaving." After speaking, she turned and strode away.

Tang Qiu glanced at Monica's back, shook his head and chuckled, "Is the knot between you and Monica still unsolved?"

Reese came back to her senses and returned to her lazy appearance. She rested her chin on one hand and said lightly: "There is no knot between us that can be resolved."

The rift between them is not something as simple as a knot in the heart.

This was a private matter between Ruisi and Monica. Seeing that Ruisi didn't want to talk about it, Tang Qiu tactfully changed the subject, "Abel found me during the day and talked to me about some things."

Ruisi looked into Tang Qiu's eyes and asked absently, "What's the matter?"

"He's here on behalf of Gabriel." Tang Qiu stroked the cup in his hand and said calmly, "Gabriel wants to join forces with you to swallow the connections left by Cambecas."

Reese sneered, her tone was cold, "This old fox."
