Well, somewhat broken defense.

A: Only the system will know.

Another: This book has entered the middle and late stages.

It's not easy, I finally wrapped the dumplings for vinegar...

The Burning World: Chapter 256 Chapter 230 Chapter [-] You start with this, and you must end with this

Cardinal Livière finally could no longer maintain his original smiling expression.

He restrained the curve of the corners of his lips, and relaxed the muscles that had been pulled one by one. Except for the eyes that remained unchanged, his whole person instantly changed from a kindly smiling man to a deadpan politician.

"It seems that, apart from the outstanding knight talent, your Excellency Claude is also inferior to anyone else in terms of verbal skill."

"Excellent, I just watched His Excellency Livière perform a bit too high, so I couldn't help but say a few words, if I offend you—"

Claude smiled.

"That really surprised me even more."

Livière didn't show any reaction to this ridicule, and he seemed too lazy to perform any more. He just followed Claude without saying a word, without expression, without words, without Poland.

"Bishop Liviere? Your Excellency the Cardinal?"

Claude yelled a few words, and found that the other party had refused to interact with him, so he could only shrug helplessly.

Now that his face has been torn apart, it is impossible for him to really see anything. After all, such behavior as face engineering is easy for the Theocracy, so it is better to stay in the Vatican and become a sweet pastry that attracts attention. Georgie and Randolph fight for time and opportunity.

"So you're going to go back to the boring prison life again... I knew that I wouldn't be so ruthless with this guy Livière just now, otherwise I will be weird with the other party...I mean What a beautiful thing it is to have bad mouths."

Claude sighed, he didn't expect the bishop's defense to come so suddenly.

Let's go back.

Thinking of this, Claude turned his horse's head and prepared to return to the prison where he was staying.

"Your Excellency, Cardinal Livière? Are you..."

A slightly suspicious voice sounded.

Claude turned the horse's head again.

Lezi is coming!

Looking at Julien who was wary and suspicious of himself, Claude smiled.

"Bishop Livière, your Excellency the Knight, who is a pillar of the Church at first glance, won't you introduce me?"

--------------------------------------------------

Claude's room at night.

[Temporarily failed to search for any available stealth routes, the opponent uses the double eye and magic stalking, it is recommended to wait until the middle of the night, when people are tired and horses are exhausted, take advantage of their negligence to leave. 】

"Okay, let's do that."

Claude nodded.

To his surprise, he did not expect that Julien would appear at this time, and judging from the reactions of both parties, Julien is obviously the capable man under the Bishop of Livières - in this case, what can be figured out But there are many.

After all, Claude has been with Julien for a while, and he is very clear about this person's character and ability. He is a very pure person - when he met the other party during the day, the other party was obviously extremely vigilant towards him, but he was very vigilant towards Livier. Hall displayed an attitude that bordered on respect.

To be able to get Julien's [Respect], only the envoy of the Theocracy that I played in Provence had received such treatment before.

At that time, Claude was a ruthless man who was dedicated to the Theocracy. With a force of only a few thousand people, he turned the entire province of Provence upside down. Instigating rebellion, even the nobles were completely overthrown, and the flames of war were everywhere, so that the empire had to send a prince to conquer.

In this way, Claude also directed and acted in the Riddler's bitter scene, which made Julien "never forget" him, a loyal man of the Theocracy.

——Then here comes the interesting part, how did the bishop of Livière get Julien's approval?

There is only one answer, and that is that Bishop Livière, like Claude at that time, is extremely loyal to the Theocracy and extremely intelligent!

Only in this way can Livière be brought under Yu Lian's command and gain the sincere loyalty and respect of the other party.

In this case, it would be even more interesting-because this His Excellency, Cardinal Livière, told himself as soon as we met that he was affiliated with the Bishop's Hall and was a newly created position.

If it is said that Julien was just transferred to the cardinal's subordinates, let alone that the other party could not have become Livière's capable general in just a few days. They would never give their allegiance to each other so quickly.

Humphrey once said that the Theocracy's intelligence organization is the arbitration hall under the pope's command. There is no doubt that Julien must have been born here before.And after returning to the Theocracy, with Julien's record and identity, after a preliminary review, he will definitely be reused again - after being brainwashed by Claude's pyramid scheme, he will definitely secretly pledge allegiance to the Pope and the Theocracy, It is impossible to offer crutches to the bishops.

But this Livière was one of the cardinals before—that is to say, the cardinal who has been promoted like a rocket is very likely to be the dark son of the court.

"This not only explains why the other party won the current high position, but also explains why Julien is loyal to him—and why this big man condescends to talk to me along the way."

Claude picked up the paper full of names and arrows in his hand, and narrowed his eyes.

[The teacher means that all the actions and words of the cardinal during this period of time are likely to be inspired by the court]

"More likely, it came from the 'sick' His Holiness the Pope."

However, Claude is still a little puzzled, why the system did not even find the Pope, according to the performance of Livière before, the Pope should be in control of the overall situation in the Vatican.

After all, no one knows the existence of the system, and it is impossible for Livière to know that Claude can use the emperor as a template to screen the pope, so there is not much concealment, and even the illness is almost directly used to mock his own face on.

[Perhaps, the situation of the Pope and the Emperor is different? 】

"Why is it different?"

Claude asked casually.

[Emperors care about the inheritance of the royal family, and the continuation of the royal family is also what they want to see, so they choose to keep themselves in the soul body-but this does not mean that they cannot enter the interior of certain bodies, and their behavior is no different from ordinary people . 】

The knight was slightly taken aback.

[The seat of the pope should not be inherited by blood relatives, right?Therefore, if the woman who took over the banner of the first Pope in the emperor's mouth wanted to continue the Theocracy, she should choose to possess a puppet instead of retaining the soul of each pope. 】

"That's right, it's true—the pope was elected, which is fundamentally different from the ruler of the empire! After all, no matter how the emperor divides it, the flesh is rotten in the hands of his own family, but the Theocracy's no the same!"

Claude was excited.

"If that woman is really the heir to the Church, then the difference between her and the first pope must be whether the Church should perish or continue after his death—from the current situation, it is obvious that she personally made the Church The country continues to this day.”

【Why, are you still disappointed in me? 】

"Excellent, you are becoming more and more able to spot my omissions - it seems that I have begun to be a little weak in teaching you."

Claude said a little relieved.

[Shut up, I'm most annoyed by your disrespectful tone. I told you I can't graduate yet, so you, the team leader, don't even think about leaving get off work early! 】

"Oh...how is this so? The first pope is very suitable for me. He has left a way for mankind to win, and has arranged for the successor of the Theocracy. Obviously, as long as it comes according to the plan, everything will be fine. perfect."

Claude was a little depressed.

[But there is no Theocracy in his plan, but the Theocracy has survived to this day, and has even become the biggest enemy of the empire. Doesn’t this have the same syndrome as yours of “100% of the plan was disrupted by unexpected circumstances”? 】

"...What you said makes sense."

Sunshine Knight rubbed his chin with a delicate expression.

"But this is really beyond the scope of what people can handle, right? Obviously he has arranged the funeral, even the demise of the church country - but who would have thought that a perfect heir would jump out and integrate the entire church country?" After the country, relying on the guilt of the emperor of the empire, he insisted on stealing development and stealing to the present."

【So human beings have limits, teacher, why not...】

"Stop it, some strange props are about to appear. I said, whether I live or die, I will always maintain my identity and cognition as a human being."

Claude obviously resisted this topic.

[But you are not your original physical body now. You have completely changed your body. Do you really feel that you are still human? 】

"I don't intend to argue with you on a philosophical level. This kind of discussion like [The Ship of Theseus] comes from subjective rather than objective."

Claude answered the system's question very positively.

"Of course I am a human being. This body is the pinnacle of the human body in this world, but I am still a human being. No matter what I plan or what I want to achieve, I will do it as a human being—without compromise or submission. .”

【...】

"I can tell that you probably want to empty out my knowledge, right? Hahahahaha, don't worry about this, I will teach you everything I can teach you—— I still have the professional ethics as a teacher."

The man chuckled and thought at the same time. Is it the teacher's luck or misfortune to meet such a studious student?

Speaking for myself...

"...Sure enough, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."

【......teacher. 】

"Ok?"

【You don't say such things to me in the future. 】

"Why? I have to hide my feelings from other people. Only with you can I speak my truest words. Don't I even have this right? Don't want that kind of thing."

Claude said half as a joke and half as a complaint.

[In short, in short!You don't always talk to me the way you talk to women!Do, make it as if... as if you are trying to attack me-you can tell them that when you are flirting with girls, the score is very high! 】

The system was still very tough at the beginning, but after Claude softened, her tone softened, and she hesitated a bit.

"Hey? Really? I'm not used to it... I'm used to using masks and acting when dealing with those girls. It's not so much that they like me, it's better to say that they play me."

Claude was a little emotional.

"Besides being able to tell the truth with you, probably only when I'm with Leticia, a little girl who is so innocent that I don't even want to hurt, I can sleep peacefully."

[So... this is also the reason why you have been protecting Leticia so much all this time?Indeed, you shouldn't be the one who puts so much energy into protecting a pawn that is of no use to you. 】

"It's really exaggerated...but you're right, useless chess pieces, it's not worth investing any more sunk costs in it-but Leticia is different, how should I put it, and her It’s a completely different feeling being together.”

Claude thought about it.

"It's a bit like when I was with the dean before. Although I also pretended to be obedient and sunny, I knew that they would not use me in any way. I just wanted to make them happy."

[It's like the kind that is often said in books... um, worry? 】

"Are you concerned? It is indeed a reasonable explanation."

Claude nodded.

[Feel like family? 】

"Indeed, it's very easy to live—it's really a luxurious life, so luxurious that I don't dare to enjoy it, I'm afraid that the sins I made will affect them and shatter my only dream."

Contrary to the system's expectations, this is the first time she heard Claude say something like [karma], she originally thought that Claude never believed in it, so he made the best use of everything he did. As cold as possible, as cruel as possible.

【Teacher, are you also worried about such illusory things? 】

"When I'm alone, I don't worry about this, but when I'm with them, I suddenly worry about gains and losses."

Claude propped his chin, looking through the open window at the quiet night sky.

The system noticed that he just said he was not worried, not disbelieving.

【So do you believe in retribution for this... fate? 】

"It's not fate, but a belief. It's noble to do good deeds without expecting rewards, but if you don't get punished for doing bad deeds, then this is a rotten world."

Claude pursed his lips.

"So I already knew what kind of ending I should have—"

"I started with this, and I will end with this."

The Burning World: Chapter 257 Chapter 230 Chapter [-] The value is drained, but not completely drained

【Most of the stalkers left, and the rest began to lose their minds. 】

After a long debate and silence, the system still faithfully fulfilled the orders that Claude had ordered before.

[I can already find a way to leave quietly. 】

"Okay, let's go."
