248] 【The Upper Cardinal Will】
After signing a lot of unequal treaties, Ye Yan finally crawled out of the crowd of women alive.
"Master, there are demigods approaching, not just one."
The electronic sound of Civilization-3 suddenly sounded without the slightest emotion, awakening Ye Yan who was in deep reflection.
The question for reflection is why it seems that his status in this big family is getting lower and lower?
"One came from the direction of the devil's capital, the other came from the extreme east, and the other three should be in a group, and they are rapidly rising from the bottom of the sea."
"Is there any more?"
"I haven't found any other demigods yet, but it can't be ruled out that there are demigods who hide their own aura and are approaching secretly.
"There are countless people under the demigod, most of them are pirates, and they are desperately coming from all directions."
"Sisters, you should be prepared, right?"
"If you need help from us, call your sister?"
Aphra obviously still remembered what happened when she was locked in the cage just now, and said sarcastically with an angry face.
"The elder sister I call doesn't include you, shame on the demigod."
"You bastard, do you think you're going to kill me? I'm also terrible when I'm angry."
Aphra showed me a super fierce look, staring at her big watery eyes and said in embarrassment.
"It doesn't feel like that at all."
"I'll bite you to death!"
Aphra has long wanted to do something, but she has not been able to find a good opportunity, and now she can finally vent her anger.
"Sister Afra, are you a dog? You really bite!"
"Wooooow!"
"We didn't know about Joan's plan to break through the demigod, how to arrange for this pair of treasures, besides, don't you want to hide your identity? Our frequent appearances will only make people doubt your identity.
"The last time we fought against the Outer Gods, it could be explained that we were standing in the righteousness of mankind, but this time we make a move again, how will others want to know that the price of asking a demigod to make a move is very expensive."
"That's right, if the saintess of the Holy See wants to make a breakthrough, of course the Holy See must send someone to guard them. We don't know them well, so why should we put our hot face on our cold ass?"
"Ye Yan, the Holy See is not monolithic. There are many immortals who are secretly interfering in the development of the Vatican. If only these demigods on the surface of the 07 Holy See were used, it would have been wiped out countless times."
"Sister Da Vinci, do you mean that some old guys in the Holy See will trouble me?"
"It's good that you know that the reason why no one opposes your position is because of the sacrifice of the previous Pope and you saved Rome. You have occupied the moral high ground in terms of righteousness and reputation. They know that it is useless to oppose it. , so there was no objection.”
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your sister Matilda, he should be very clear."
"Some old guys are troublesome, now is not the time for you to face them, and we will help you."
"Do they dare to kill me?"
Ye Yan shrank his pupils and asked in disbelief.
"As long as the benefits are sufficient, why don't they dare?"
"It's so complicated, can I not do it?"
Ye Yan asked pitifully with a bitter face.
"Sister Matilda who wants to run away from you will not let you go first."
"Don't listen to their nonsense, you are our future master, and I will only guide you to the right path."
Matilda glanced at the nonsense Aphra, and said seriously.
"Master, don't worry, Xiao Jiu has already notified the Holy See in the name of Miss Joan.
Xiao Jiu walked in from the door, holding a bowl of tonic soup that was even bigger than before, and the smell has also changed a lot compared to before.
It is definitely different from the soup I drank before.
"I have to admit, Ye Yan is really about to be adopted by you."
Da Vinci rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
"This is the credit of all of us, not just one person!"
"Xiao Jiu, what kind of soup is this?"
Ye Yan turned a deaf ear to this, and asked tremblingly, knowing that he is still resisting the invisible flame of desire in his body by diverting his attention!
"Of course it is a tonic soup that is good for the master's body!"
Xiao Jiu blinked her eyes and said with a smile on her face.
"Can I not drink?"
"Master, Xiao Jiu worked hard all night to make this, do you have the heart?"
Xiao Jiu changed his face in an instant, and asked with tears in his eyes.
"Stop talking, I'll drink!"
Ye Yan learned the lesson from the last time this time, picked up the jade bowl from the tray, turned around and handed it to Matilda, begging:
"Sister Matilda, can you have me?"
"good."
A trace of surprise flashed in Matilda's dark and deep eyes, and she agreed blankly.
Under Xiaojiu's envious eyes, Matilda sat beside Ye Yan, put a spoon to Ye Yan's mouth, and fed him little by little.
Damn it! This is obviously the job of a maid, why would you let this old woman who has no interest at all do it? From the beginning to the end, she was expressionless and silent, unqualified!
Xiao Jiu bit her finger and thought jealously.
Xiaojiu knew that it was her master who wanted to anger her in such a cheap way, if she was serious, she would lose, but she just couldn't help it, she was so angry!
"Xiao Jiu, when will the Holy See's support arrive?"
Judging from the monitoring map, a large area of dense light spots is almost approaching this sea area, and five of them are particularly bright.
The island where Joan of Arc is located has become dark and dense at this time, forming a sharp contrast with the sparkling light on the sea level in the early morning.
"Maybe it will be here in the next second. Xiao Jiu's notification is to let them be on standby at any time. Just now Xiao Jiu sent the space coordinates."
Although Xiao Jiu was very angry in her heart, she still performed her duties as a maid perfectly, and said meticulously.
As soon as the words fell, a large space teleportation magic circle suddenly emerged from the void, and four demigods and a group of red-clothed archbishops walked out of it.
Ye Yan immediately found that three of the four demigods were people he was familiar with, namely Reinhardt, the head of the Knights Templar, St. Will, the leader of the ascetics, and Sister Li.
But with the status of the three of them, they are not leaders yet. Standing in the front is an old man wearing a silver robe with an unknown monster embroidered with black silk thread and wearing a crystal crown.
Ye Yan turned his attention to Matilda, if anyone present could know the identity of this old man, then only sister Matilda.
And Ye Yan has a feeling that the identity of Matilda's sister is more difficult than he imagined.
"Edward Hall, a member of the High Cardinal Council, one of the foundations of the Holy See, his experience is legendary even among the many demigods of the Holy See. He awakened the blood of the priest when he was young. If there is no unexpected hero The level is probably his end point, but later he turned to magic, comprehended the law of space and stepped into a demigod, the most powerful demigod in the Holy See
Is there a chance of a higher cardinal in the Holy See? Ye Yan thought deeply.
"It's quite strong. If I hadn't arranged a few extra tricks, I might have been discovered by him."
"Teacher Ai Yin, I give full marks to you for pretending."
Ye Yan gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"I never Versailles because I always tell the truth."
Ai Yin gave Ye Yan a blank look, and said angrily.
"Miss Ain is right, compared to her, the most talented brain in human history, Edward is indeed nothing.
Matilda admitted what Ain said, and the latter couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"My law of space-time beats his law of space, and he can't do a few tricks in my hands."
"Edward also belongs to the kind of respected senior in the Holy See, and he is a trustworthy person."
"I have a question, why didn't they take action when the cultists attacked Rome?"
Ye Yan asked curiously, could it be that this group of old guys from the upper cardinal dare to blatantly betray the Holy See?
"Most of them are sleeping, it will take time to wake them up, and not all of them are in Rome [the most important thing is that the difficulty of that asteroid is far beyond what a demigod can handle."
"The main purpose of the establishment of the High Cardinal Council is to limit the power of the Pope."
"Understood, not all popes are as majestic as that old man."
A complex look flashed in Ye Yan's eyes. He still had a bit of resentment towards Gregory IX who unilaterally let him inherit the Pope.
"That's right, there was a dark period in the history of the Holy See, and the interior was rotten from top to bottom. That's why the birth of the High Cardinal was promoted."
Ye Yan has nothing to say about this, the pope has more power than any emperor, because the emperor still has his subjects against him, but the pope has no one who opposes the pope and is sent to the stake.
Who made the pope the Lord's spokesperson in the world!
"Strange, just now I seemed to feel that someone was hiding in the dark and watching us, do you have this feeling?"
Edward exuded the power of his soul, felt it carefully, and asked in a heavy tone through sound transmission.
Reinhardt and St. Will shook their heads when they heard the words. They were not magicians, and they were not as good as Edward in terms of soul perception, but they still kept a secret eye.
The old senior of the Holy See in front of him is an archmage at the peak of a demigod, and he is good at the law of space. It stands to reason that it is unlikely that anyone can escape his detection.
"Bishop Richelieu, do you feel that something is wrong?"
Seeing Richelieu, whose eyes were dull and obviously wandering away, Edward asked helplessly.
This is the most outstanding genius of the Holy See in modern times. It is too unreliable to be distracted at this time!
"No, maybe it's Lord Edward, you just woke up from a deep sleep, so you're overwhelmed?"
Richelieu, who was deep in thought, was awakened, and said indiscriminately.
A faint blush flashed across a beautiful face. I was only thinking about my younger brother just now, but I lost such a big face in front of the old seniors of the Holy See. How embarrassing!
"Maybe, maybe I'm really overthinking."
Edward shook his right hand when he heard the words, and almost pulled his long beard off, it was getting more and more outrageous.
Powerful practitioners will have a sense of the crisis related to their own lives in advance, which is the intuition or sixth sense as the saying goes.
What's more, for the existence of demigods who have comprehended the law, they have no doubts about their intuition.
The moment he arrived just now, he vaguely sensed that someone was peeping in the dark. Unfortunately, after he used space magic to explore the surrounding space for thousands of miles, he didn't find anything.
This undoubtedly cast a shadow over his heart, so he secretly reminded the three demigod juniors who were traveling with him.
However, the reactions of the three people were different. Reinhardt, the head of the Knights Templar, and St. Will, who was born as an ascetic monk, are indeed demigods who have experienced many battles and are as determined as iron. The performance at this moment made him very satisfied.
It was the performance of the master of the holy sword Durandal, Bishop Richelieu, who made his chest hurt in anger.
"Colleagues, get ready to deploy,
Remember never to go to the island, the island has been completely covered within the scope of Lei Jie, just stand a thousand meters away and form an array. 11
"Yes, Lord Edward.
A number of cardinals in the legendary realm descended and stood on the surface of the sea, took out the bright jade that had been prepared long ago, and activated the rune circle engraved inside the jade.
In an instant, a series of bright silk threads centered on the jade, extended to both sides, and connected with other bright silk threads, forming a circle that surrounded the entire island with a height of 100 meters.
curtain of light barrier.
"My lords, before those demigods have arrived, you can tell me, an old man, why our saintesses of the Holy See chose this place to survive the catastrophe.
Isn't Rome safe enough?"
"Lord Edward, I only received Joan's secret message last night. She only left a sentence and a coordinate address. 11
Richelieu replied calmly.
Although she knew that all of this must have something to do with her good brother, but in this situation, she can only continue to hide it for him.
And she remembered that Joan of Arc didn't seem to break through to demigods so quickly, except for those descendants of true gods who were born demigods, this has already broken the record.
"Then what about the holy son of our Holy See? Why is he not in Rome?"
"Master Shengzi is currently retreating in a hidden place. For the safety of Mr. Shengzi, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Richelieu explained righteously.
As one of the top officials of the Holy See, she is not ignorant of the existence of the High Cardinal. In Richelieu's view, this group of old guys who have never died is the biggest problem preventing her brother from holding the power of the Holy See.
When each generation of Pope succeeds to the throne, he will jump out to show his presence.
Her younger brother is destined to hold the gun of St. Jolanginus, and he is a great hero who saved Rome. It's your turn to oppose it!
However, what Richelieu didn't know was that the upper cardinal also had factions, so no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Edward was a bad guy who wanted to target her brother.
