Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen Minerva Agency

The iron gate above was opened, and the sun shone in.César immediately closed his eyes to prevent being stabbed by the bright light, and at the same time took a deep breath in order to inhale more fresh air.Fresh air was hard to come by, so taking a big breath when the iron door was open would help him keep his sanity. He didn't remember how long he had been here, at least two or three months. Because he couldn't see the light, he couldn't count the time, and the frequency of food deliveries was also chaotic. He didn't know where it was, but he was sure that it was a prison, and it was an underground felony prison.Marston does not have such a strict prison, he should have been transferred elsewhere.

He was here when he woke up, surrounded by arm-thick iron fences, and his every move was under the surveillance of the jailer.The guards never spoke to him, and they were apparently forbidden to speak to the dangerous boy.The injuries on his body have basically healed, and it is certain that the medical conditions here are excellent. During this period, he was interrogated three times. Each time, the same officer asked him questions. The questions were very simple, but they all had hidden secrets. The other party was a master interrogator who watched him calmly. "Cesar! César!" The jailer shouted his name, and it seemed that he was going to be interrogated again today.

He was put on heavy shackles, which is not difficult to understand, how can a person who can control Seraph not be dangerous?The elevator rises slowly.He stood under the high dome, and the sunlight poured down from the round hole in the center of the dome.This place gave him a vaguely familiar feeling. The same officer was waiting for him in the interrogation room.The officer wore a black uniform without any armbands or epaulets to avoid revealing his identity, but his appearance was too eye-catching, with long golden hair, sculptural facial lines, and sharp eyes like swords. The girls are out of their minds.

"Take off the shackles and get out," the officer ordered to the jailer. "Please sit down, it's not the first time we've met, don't be restrained." The officer motioned César to sit down on the iron chair in front of the table, "Today may be our last conversation, and your case will be settled soon." Taken over by other departments." "Which department?" César asked warily. "You'll know in a while, just say a few words at the end, and I'll hand you over to them." The officer flipped through the file in his hand, "This is our fourth conversation, but I still don't know anything about you to this day .I have been observing you, and you have been avoiding being observed by me. We also tried to investigate your identity outside, but we couldn't find any documents related to you. You went to Marston from Florence to go to school, But your citizenship information cannot be found in the city hall of Fei Lengcui. The bank accounts of you and your sister are also very mysterious. After a while, someone transfers money anonymously to the account, and we don’t even know who is transferring money. And your student status file has been destroyed along with the Marston Royal Mechanical College. In other words, you have no past at all."

"Everyone has a past, but some people don't want my past to be known." Sizer said softly. "The new interrogator should be at a higher level than me. Maybe he has the authority to investigate your past." "Then what is your level?" "My name is Li Xini, you may have heard my name before." "Then I'm in Fei Leng Cui... this is the headquarters of the Inquisition Bureau?" César suddenly sat up straight. Of course he had heard of Li Xini, the scarlet god of death Li Xini, the first deputy director of the Bureau of Inquisition, and the only armored knight in Fei Leng Cui who could be compared with Rundstedt!He was actually detained in the Bureau of Inquisition, and was interrogated by Scarlet Death himself.

To many, the Bureau of Inquisition is a hell in the heart of Emerald City.In Feilengcui, the most vicious curse is not wishing the gods to send a thunderbolt to kill you, a villain, but wishing you and the executive officer a good afternoon tea, because those who were invited to the Inquisition for tea rarely come back. Get out of that iron door.He is locked in this hell right now. "Yes, you have already returned to Fei Leng Cui." Li Xini said slowly, "There is not much time left. Before I hand you over, can you tell me something more? very curious." César was silent for a moment: "I want to exchange some information with you."

"Your sister is safe and sound. A special envoy from the Pope's Hall picked her up. That special envoy's authority is higher than mine, and I can't find out his background. But your sister is undoubtedly under strict protection." César nodded. Talking to Li Xini made him very comfortable. No need to talk nonsense, Li Xini knew exactly what information he wanted to exchange. "Don't check my affairs, it's not good for you." César said, "This is the information I can exchange with you." "That's all?" Li Xini frowned slightly.

"Enough to match your piece of information about Adele." Li Xini was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you for your advice, I will hand you over to the new interrogator." He got up to go out, and the black-robed priest pushed the door in, and the two passed by.The new interrogator turned out to be a priest. Behind him were several men in white robes with masks on their heads, and they were carrying heavy wooden crates. The wooden crate was placed in the center of the interrogation room, and César saw the familiar emblem, an owl with six wings.He couldn't help panicking, Li Xini was right, the new interrogator knew his secret!

The fragrant wind blows towards the face, the aroma is as mellow as wine, as rich as musk... No, to be precise, it is mixed with a strong smell of alcohol in some famous oriental fragrance, which is unique to a certain woman in César's memory scent mark.He looked up and saw the person in the white robe standing in front of him who was doing nothing with his arms folded... But we can no longer call her a "white robe person" because she has already untied the white robe and is carefree. Stand apart. Inside the white robe is a tight-fitting cheongsam embroidered with rose red gold, with a cicada-like tulle on the chest. This is some kind of oriental clothing, but the hem of the skirt should reach the feet, but this woman's body is specially cut short. Only cover the base of the thighs.It's hard to tell whether this dress is underwear or pajamas, but it really highlights her figure, her tight and powerful thighs, her plump buttocks, and her waist is especially thin, which is not enough to hold.

She also took off the mask, but she was about 23 or 24 years old, and she could only be regarded as a big girl who was not yet mature, but she painted a heavy makeup with flaming red lips, a messy long white hair, and her complexion was extremely Rare chocolate color. "Haha, isn't this my dear little César, she needs to be pampered!" The woman stepped on the chair where César was sitting with her stiletto shoes. "Professor Verolan..." César's voice was almost moaning. Seeing this type of beauty in a hellish place like the Inquisition Bureau makes people feel like hell. César is rarely afraid of anyone, but in front of this sexy woman, he can't help but feel a little bit An urge to flee.

The men in white robes grabbed him effortlessly, expertly put the straitjacket on him, and stuffed the cork into his mouth.The straitjacket is usually used to deal with violent mental patients. It is made of strong linen and has a dozen wide leather belts. When these leather belts are fastened, even an angry bull cannot get out Struggled out of the straitjacket. The wooden crate was split open with a few axes, and inside was a strangely shaped metal chair. The back of the chair was like a curved metal spine, covered with tiny electrodes.They pinned Cesare to the chair and backed away. "Concentrate, little César, you know...it will hurt a little!" Wei Ruolan took a step forward, her bright silver high-heeled shoes slamming on the switch. A current like a purple snake flowed from the storage box to the metal spine, and at the last moment, César twisted desperately, bumping his head against the cold metal headgear, trying to get rid of this torture.But all struggles are in vain. When the six-winged owl finds him, everything in the past will finally come to light. It was as if a hundred thousand wild horses were galloping through his mind, trampling on every nerve of him. pain!Excruciating pain!Messy, scarlet images surged... The pendant of the pentagram swayed like a pendulum, the woman was burning on the cross, she writhed in pain, whispered, and sang a lullaby... The King of Knights who was crucified on the wall, Su Jialuo in a red dress, and the duchess with long hair stood in the raging fire. They all said in unison, "Don't be too lonely." The voice was like a bell at the end of the century. . César wanted to growl, but wanted to cry.He felt that he was falling into an endless black abyss, golden eyes lit up at the bottom of the abyss, and a huge black shadow opened its arms to him. "Enough!" Wei Ruolan strode forward, her beautiful legs flying, and kicked the switch open again. It was as if a huge force pulled César back from the black abyss.He was extremely tired, it was clearly only a few tens of seconds, but he felt that he had just woken up from a long nightmare.He stared blankly at the roof, his pupils blank. "Ah, ah, Seraphim has caused a lot of mental pollution to you. The degree of brain damage is no less than 25%, and the rate of nervous system damage is almost 20%. The probability of memory confusion has greatly increased, and the white matter of the brain may have Physical damage..." Professor Wei Ruolan inspected the various instruments on the seat and sighed. César listened silently. What Verolan said was like his verdict. Although this woman was drunk and insane, she was one of the top technicians in the Pope's kingdom and the vice-president of the Minerva agency. The Minerva Organization is the highest technical organization of the Papal State, with the six-winged owl as its emblem, the Seraph, the Serpent of the World, the Holy Gun Armor Longinus, the Stein Heavy Machinery... all come from this organization. The chief is Professor Franco, a middle-aged neurotic and technical madman.As Cardinal, he was part of the highest authority in the Papal States.But he never participated in the cardinal meeting, and spent all day in the cellar doing research. People can often feel the strong earthquake coming from the cellar where he lives. Verolan is his deputy, responsible for grasping the overall situation of the Minerva organization when Professor Franco is in a trance, because Professor Franco is always in a trance, so in fact, Professor Verolin is the highest in charge of the Minerva organization people. She is also a student of Professor Franco. She was a top-notch genius girl when she was studying at the Hengdong Tian Academy. Later, she entered the Minerva Institute and became a female psychopath with the same reputation as her teacher.Both the teacher and the student are giving lectures in the Holy Academy in Turin, but the classes taught by Professor Flange are empty and the courses taught by Professor Verolan are crowded, because the lectures taught by Prof. It is also so beautiful to dress at the time. She and Cesare have known each other since they were children, and she has been molesting Cesare since she was a genius girl and Cesare was a cold-faced boy, and she has enjoyed it for many years. "Little César, you have made yourself very bad this time." Wei Ruolan scratched her long hair. "Will he die?" César asked softly. "You wouldn't die if I was here. But you had the chance to become a top-level armored knight, but now you're on the verge of death. You forcibly manipulated the Seraphim's armor, and your nervous system was seriously damaged. It's lucky that you didn't go crazy." "Becoming a top armored knight? I have a record in the Inquisition Bureau." César smiled wryly. "All the criminal records can be erased, it only depends on your value." The black-robed priest who had been silent all this time took off his hood, revealing short gray hair like needles, his cold eyes hidden behind dark crystal lenses. "Holy seat!" The man in white made the sign of the cross on his chest and bent down to salute. Only Professor Wei Ruolan leaned on the half of the wooden crate with a proud figure, it didn't matter. Iron Pope, Ron Borgia. For someone else, it would be a great honor to see the Pope in person, let alone the Pope personally intervening in his own case.But Cesar just trembled when he heard his voice, and then regained his composure. He tilted his head and looked at the cold and heartless face of the Pope: "Dear father, you look old." "When the child grows up, the father will naturally grow old. This is the alternation of life." The Pope's tone was very light. "Professor Veroran, gentlemen, is it convenient for me to chat with the child alone?" If anyone from the Marston King's Institute of Mechanical Engineering was present, they would probably tremble with fear when they heard such a conversation.Cesare they look down on.César, who was abandoned by his family and was too poor to pay the tuition fees, César with hateful eyes... turned out to be the son of the Pope. "We're waiting outside, annoying little César, be good in front of father." Professor Wei Ruolan led his subordinates out of the interrogation room. The door closed, and the Pope turned around, meeting Cesar's eyes.A few seconds later, he slapped Cesar on the face without mercy. César was wearing a straitjacket, so he couldn't resist, but even if he didn't wear a straitjacket, he would not be his father's opponent. He knew better than anyone else that although his father was reluctant as a saint, he was superb as a swordsman, even surpassing His own armed squires. He is also an outstanding military strategist. Most of Cesar's military knowledge comes from his father. It is he who taught by example and successfully created the "monster" of César. That slap was so hard that César's nose and ears were bleeding, and his vision was blurred.But he actually laughed, "It turns out that I have really returned to Fei Leng Cui, to this place where beasts gather, and my dear father is still such a beast." Another sharp slap was slapped on his already bloodied face, "Don't talk such nonsense! I told you, every word between you and me has value!" "Although it's just an illegitimate child, it's not as precious as a real son, but don't you want to pretend to be a father?" César looked up at the white roof with sarcasm in his tone. The corner of his eye was cracked, and if he lowered his head, blood would flow down his face like tears, but he would not make any expression similar to tears in front of this man, it would be ridiculous. Since childhood, the relationship between him and his father has been established. It is not the relationship between father and son, but the relationship between tools and tool users.Tool users will try to optimize their tools for use as much as possible, but if a tool becomes worn out, users will not hesitate to throw it away for a new one. This kind of relationship sounds distorted, but César is very used to this kind of relationship. His father provides him with resources, and he advises his father.He has served as his father's secretary since he was eight years old, and accompanied him to various meetings. The big men realized that the little boy standing behind the Pope was actually a think tank, and they called him "the Pope's little black goat" in private. He is very afraid. Relying on the Pope's support, he went to the battlefield as a staff officer at the age of fifteen, commanding the Blazing Knights to conquer the capital of Ceylon.The pope wanted to use this method to accumulate military merits for his son, so that he could get on the political stage to compete with the children of the family as soon as possible. With the tacit understanding between their father and son, they could have set off a violent bloody storm in Fei Leng Cui, changing the power structure for a century... But César did not listen to the Pope on a certain key matter, and was caught by the big shots The handle deprived him of his nobility and expelled him from Fei Leng Cui. On the day he left, there was only one person who came to see him off, not only to see him off, but to follow him to Marston like a follower, and that was Adele.The father didn't show up at all, and he probably thought the tool was useless. "You qualified as a trainee priest at the age of seven and became a priest in the province of Valencia; you were appointed as my secretary at the age of eight; you became the rector of the province of Gandia at the age of nine; you became a supernumerary of the Blazing Knights at the age of thirteen. Knight; you put on the blazing armor at the age of fifteen... According to my original plan, you will become the deputy head of the Blazing Knights at the age of 18; you will enter the Inquisition Bureau at the age of 22; Director; you became a cardinal at the age of twenty-eight... You were supposed to become the hero of Emerald, the future governor of the Far East, but you messed up everything." The Pope stared into Cesar's eyes, "This Once again you screwed up." "What did I screw up?" "You shouldn't have put on Rundstedt's armor, and you shouldn't have exposed your identity as the lord of the Seraphim! The cardinals only know that you are my adviser, but they don't know that you can control the Seraph. Now they know, yes Your vigilance will be further intensified, and my plan to bring you back to Fei Leng Cui will become even more difficult!" "You want to get me back to Emerald?" César laughed, "Adele and I stayed in Marston for three years, and no one asked us anything. In the end, Adele's annuity was terminated. We can't even pay the tuition fees. But you told me that you were going to take me back to Fei Leng Cui?" "How do you want me to express my concern? Write you a letter home every month?" The Pope said coldly, "You should have confidence in me, which is equivalent to confidence in yourself! Your ability is what I spend It was cultivated with huge resources, as long as you are still valuable, I will definitely get you back to Fei Leng Cui!" Cesare was speechless.Although these words were blatant, they sounded like the true words of my father.Although the relationship between their father and son was not harmonious, what the Pope said to him was basically the truth, and they all knew that hypocrisy would not work on each other. "The war is over," the Pope changed the subject. "After that battle ended, the ambassador of the Xia Kingdom sent a letter of credence requesting a truce." "Xia Guo's core army has been destroyed. If you continue to fight, it will damage the domestic economy and even endanger the throne of Emperor Xia. He must weigh the pros and cons." Cizer said, "But the loss of the Crusaders is also Is it serious?" "Three-quarters of the Blazing Knights were lost, almost all of the Seraphs were killed, and the divisions of the Crusaders lost an average of 50%. Our military strength has fallen back by ten years. We can't hold on anymore, so We accepted the armistice." "The cardinal will be very dissatisfied with the result, right? They started the war for the land and minerals in the east, but now a huge amount of military expenditure has been spent, but there are very few spoils of war." "Not only dissatisfied, but furious. They attribute this failure to my poor command, and I think they are considering removing me." "Until they find a suitable replacement, the chances of deposing you are next to zero. They need you." After a short period of tension, the father and son began to discuss the political and military situation. Like three years ago, they cut into the issue very quickly and exchanged ideas very quickly. Often, outsiders have not understood their topic, and their discussion is over. . The pattern of Emerald Cui has not changed much from when Cesare left. Cardinals and aristocrats still control the lifeline of the city, but Pope Ron Borgia is not among the most powerful people.He was more like an executor selected by the cardinal. The cardinal would use his military ability and fierce character to promote the war against the East, but because of Rundstedt's rebellion, the war ended in a draw. "The situation is very unfavorable to us. On the one hand, I have to deal with the pressure of the cardinals. On the other hand, the monarchs of various countries are starting to restless." The Pope said coldly, "In the past, our military force made them afraid, and they had to rely on us. Now that the Blazing Knights have suffered heavy losses, and the Crusader Guards also need to recuperate, the monarchs are urging us to repay the war loan." Although the Papal State is very rich, it is still difficult to support a world-class war. For this reason, they have borrowed huge war loans from Western countries.The loan should have been repaid with the land in the East, but Chu Shunhua did not give up an inch of land to the West, and the pressure of this loan finally fell on the Pope. "Our influence over countries has become weaker," Sizer said. "If we don't solve the loan repayment problem, we will lose a lot of allies." "Where are the one or two countries that are the most troubled by the flash attack? Use military force to subdue them." "I'm afraid we won't be able to launch that level of lightning attack in the short term. It's best to settle it diplomatically." The Pope said coldly, "So these days I have received envoys from monarchs of various countries, and some monarchs hope that I will open the highest In exchange for their support, some monarchs asked themselves to manage the local church, the most interesting of which was Charlemagne King Didier, who wanted to propose to your sister." César's face changed immediately, and his tone became gloomy, "Is His Royal Highness King Charlemagne alive enough?" This is not at all the tone he spoke at the Marston King's Institute of Mechanical Engineering. César of Fei Lengcui and César of Marston seem to be two boys at all. It exudes the ferociousness of Emerald César. In the eyes of César in Emerald, the Kingdom of Charlemagne is an important ally of the Papal State, and King Charlemagne Didier also appears very submissive.But Didier wanted to marry Adele, and that was simply boring. The noble King Charlemagne was nearly sixty years old, and he was a pedophile. His favorite game was to play naked, chasing and playing with little girls in the palace pool, and letting them whip him.If marrying a young daughter to Didier is what is called diplomacy, then the pope would give priority to the possibility of a surprise attack on Charlemagne's kingdom. Although the Iron Pope was cruel to his son, he was gentle to his daughter.With his coldness, although his gentleness towards his daughter is only a pitiful little bit, it can already show that his daughter is far more important than his son in his mind. "Not for himself, but for his son, Prince Clayderman." The Pope said coldly, "I heard that Clayderman is a very popular guy among women, and this kind of person wants to marry my daughter." , I think their family should be tired of living." Although the Pope and his son have rifts, they always hit it off on this issue.The attendants said privately that although the Holy See and His Highness Cesar were not considered model father and son, they showed amazing consistency in many cases. There is always a generation gap between normal father and son, and the generation gap has caused all kinds of father-son conflicts.Imagine a family living in the middle of nowhere, and another nearby family has a blood feud and often kills each other. One day the father took out a shotgun and gave the newly grown child a shotgun and said it's time for you to learn to be cruel , go to the Feynman's next door and kill one of their grown men, or you don't come back.At this time, his son who still has illusions about the world will often collapse in pain and ask his father with shining tears, why can't our family get along well with the Feynman family?Why do we have to use the blood of this generation to repay the previous generation?I don't want I can't!How can you tell me to do it? But if it is changed to the Pope, my son will take the gun and say yes, wait until I finish eating.Then he went out in the wind and snow. After a while, the next door exploded again and again. After a while, his son came back and said that everything was resolved, and he burned the house down. "So you should be a man who holds power. The Borgia family needs a man who can hold power. The life and death of the Marstons has nothing to do with you. You only need to protect your sister. But you Angry with death, and exposed himself in the end, the Cardinals do not want a strong boy to appear in our Borgia family." The Pope turned and left, "Tomorrow, in the small chapel behind the Sistine Chapel, Cardinals A trial meeting will be held to decide what to do with you. Be respectful and don’t show your sharpness, this is not the time for you to resist, just wait until you gain power and become a lion to bite off their throats one by one.” "Last question, Omega... what the hell is it?" "One day you will know, it's better to ask less questions and think more about yourself." The pope neither looked back nor stopped, "By the way, you didn't receive the annuity because a financial officer felt that I had forgotten you With your sister, you can embezzle that money. Yesterday, Director Spencer caught evidence of his embezzlement and shot him dead." He pushed the door open, and Professor Wei Ruolan was still waiting outside. "Holy See, what happened to the matter that Professor Franco and I were concerned about?" Professor Verolan's beautiful eyes were full of emotion... and a little anxious. "Remind Franco, crawl out of his hole tomorrow to attend the trial. As long as you help me keep my son, you have the right to study him." The Pope remained expressionless. "A peerless genius who absolutely resonates with Seraphim, even if he is abolished, he is still a peerless genius. The Minerva Institute needs this kind of research object! Believe me, Holy See, Professor Franco will crawl to the trial meeting tomorrow, If someone dares to harm him, Professor Franco will turn into a mad dog and bite them to death without your words!" Professor Wei Ruolan cursed and swore. "That's good, my son is yours, please take good care of him." The Pope left straight away. "Hey, you annoying little César, you can't run away now!" Wei Ruolan rubbed her fists, her nose turned red with excitement. The white-robed man beside her tried not to show emotion, but there was still a little compassion in his eyes. In the middle of the night, in the Bureau of Inquisition, Li Xini sat quietly under the curtain, his whole body almost completely absorbed into the darkness. Someone knocked lightly on the door. "The door is open." Li Xini whispered. The black shadow pushed the door in, quickly glanced behind him, and closed the door silently. The dim light outside the window briefly illuminated that handsome but stubbled face.Veron, Chief of the Military Department and Secret Service Section of the Crusader Guards, no one would have thought that someone from the military department would knock on the door of the Inquisition Office in the middle of the night. Although the relationship between the military department and the Inquisition Bureau is not incompatible, it is by no means close and friendly. The two are armed organizations at the same level. The Crusader Guard obeys the command of the Pope, and the Inquisition Bureau directly obeys the orders of the Cardinals.The Crusaders of the Crusaders always suspect that the Bureau of Heresy has overstepped its authority and meddled in their own affairs, while the Bureau of Inquisition of Heresy thinks that the structure of the Crusaders is bloated and inefficient. The two sides impeach each other at high-level meetings, and occasionally there are armed conflicts. But the relationship between Li Xini and Veron is very good. This friendship can be traced back to the time when they served together in the Blazing Knights.But they never reveal it in front of outsiders, which is good for both parties. Li Xini, who was only twenty-seven years old, was able to secure the position of deputy director not only because he was the scarlet god of death, but also because Veron had always done a good job in delivering information. "It was dug out from the ruins of the Marston King's Institute of Mechanical Engineering, and I asked Poincaré to help." Veron threw a dusty document in front of Li Xini, sat down and put his feet on the on the desk. Li Xini didn't turn on the light, but just read the document by the light coming in from the window. The black envelope, with silver seraph patterns, contained Cesare's extremely brief resume, and there was also a verdict issued by the Bureau of Inquisition of Heretics.According to this verdict, César was expelled from Emerald and could not return for life for committing a serious crime of blasphemy. "This kind of verdict doesn't explain anything. We issue hundreds of similar verdicts here every year." Li Xini said, "When we don't want to say what crime that person committed, we just say he committed a crime." Blasphemy." The black angel pattern on the envelope can frighten 99.9% of the people in the Western Continent, even high-ranking nobles, but Li Xinyi has no feeling for it.That is the emblem of the Inquisition Bureau of Heresy. This is the Bureau of Inquisition of Heresy. Even the ashtray is burnt with the pattern of the black angel.In a sense, Lixini himself is the black angel. "Then what about the information that he is the Pope's illegitimate son? Are you a little surprised?" Veron raised his eyebrows. Li Xini's pupils dilated slightly, and this glacier-like man showed a rare look of surprise. "There's nothing strange about it. This is Emerald City. The big men have mistresses. The pope is also a man. What's an illegitimate child?" Veron shrugged, "Do you think they all look like you?" "Is the source of information reliable?" "Reliable, from the Congregation of the Holy Church in Turin. Several professors remember a student named Cesare Borgia who was there, but three years ago he was quietly revoked and disappeared. He was sponsored by a certain big man, and he was admitted directly to the Holy Church in Turin without taking the test. Everyone said that the big man was Director Spencer, and Director Spencer was entrusted by the Pope. Follow this I touched the thread, and I probably found out something." Veron said, "Our revered Holy See once married and gave birth to two children with the legal wife, named Luigi and Hu. Ann. But he also had two children, César Borgia and Adele Borgia, with a certain Oriental woman named Mrs. Lin Lang." "The Pope's mistress is an Oriental?" "A peerless oriental beauty, Adele Borgia only inherited 30% to 40% of her beauty to that extent. It is said that everyone who has seen Mrs. Lin Lang was shocked by her beauty. No wonder she was able to attract the Pope. Veron shrugged, "To be honest, I really can't imagine that a tough guy like the Holy See would like women." "Where is Mrs. Lin Lang now? Or... dead?" Li Xini asked.This kind of astonishing woman is like the most coquettish flower in the whole summer, and it sounds like it is also the easiest to wither. "died." "How did you die?" "Put to death by your Inquisition Bureau." "Never heard of it." "That's because your level is not high enough." Veron smiled secretly, "Master Deputy Director, don't think that you know everything that happened in the Bureau of Inquisition of Heresy. The big man can sentence someone to death in the name of heresy without saying anything. through you." "Dare to sentence the Pope's lover to death, this can only be ordered directly from the Cardinal Council." "That's right. Three years ago, a female prisoner named Linlang Borgia was convicted of heresy and committed extremely heinous crimes. She was bewitched by heretical teachings and fell into the arms of the devil, intending to kill a pair of her daughters as sacrifices. .” "She only has one pair of children, so the ones she wants to sacrifice are César and Adele?" "Yes, and shortly afterwards her son Césaire Borgia was also declared guilty and expelled from Emerald. Adele Borgia was not implicated. But she insisted on accompanying her brother to his place of exile. Suffering. Of course, the Pope helped them arrange the best place within his authority, to go to the bustling neutral city of Marston.” Veron shrugged, “That’s all I found, let’s talk about yours. reward." Li Xini was silent for a moment, "My information just happened to complement yours. About ten years ago, the current Pope had just become Pope. He appointed a young secretary, who was only eight years old. Many descendants of aristocratic families would serve as secretaries of important people when they were young, but they did not actually participate in government affairs, just to seek qualifications for the future. But this secretary is different. He accompanied the Pope to attend various top-secret meetings, always dressed in black After the Pope, it is said that he is one of the brains of the Pope. The big men call him "the Pope's little black goat". The little black goat became rector of Gandía, an honorary but high-ranking office; at the age of thirteen his name appeared in the list of the Knights of the Blazing Order, but he only used a The code name is not the real name. The name is Red Long, which means red dragon in Latin. So when he put on the armor of the dragon servant Stadt, I heard someone in the helmet say 'the red dragon appears in your battle sequence', The armor recognized it, and it wasn't the first time he had put on the Seraph armor." "Red Dragon?" Veron thought about the code name, secretly startled. "Yes, this is a top-level code name. You should be aware of the code name rules within the army. Top-level code names must have colored words in them. Your 'faceless man', Poincaré's 'noble son', are all secondary Codenames, and the top codenames, such as my 'Scarlet Death', Tilan's 'White Moon', and Rundstedt's 'Black Dragon', and the Red Dragon is the opposite of the Black Dragon." "I can't believe that the Pope has an illegitimate son who is as high as Rundstedt! That kid is a 'son of a daughter'! And this son of a daughter was expelled from Emerald by the Cardinal Council and concealed in Marston Alive, Poincaré said that he couldn’t even pay his tuition fees, and had to fight in armor on the black market to make up for the tuition fees.” "Yes, from various evidences, that boy is an extremely important pawn for the Pope, and the Pope has always devoted resources to him. He was trained in the army since he was a child, and he is familiar with the composition of the army; he studied at the Holy Seminary in Turin, It was the highest school in Fei Leng Cui; he attended the meeting of cardinals, and was familiar with government affairs since he was a child; he commanded the Blazing Knights to attack the capital of Ceylon at the age of fifteen, and accumulated illustrious military exploits. The future of such a person is limitless, he He was supposed to become the Chu Shunhua of the West, but just as he was about to take off, he suddenly fell and was thrown out of emeralds like trash." Li Xini said softly, "Until the train of the Python of the World hit into that church." "It is indeed a life of ups and downs, but what does it have to do with us? Why do you care so much about him?" "I only care about one thing, why he can wear Rundstedt's armor." 贝隆耸耸肩，“你刚才也说了，那不是他第一次穿上炽天使甲胄，他原本就是被作为超级骑士培养的吧？只是后来培养中断了而已。” “但他是教皇的儿子，为什么恰好是教皇的儿子能穿上炽天使甲胄？” “我不懂你的意思？” “你只是不愿回忆起过去而已。你最初也是炽天使的候选人，只是你穿不上炽天使甲胄，所以降格为普通骑士。”李锡尼轻声说，“你很清楚……所谓炽天使甲胄，是被诅咒的东西，穿上那种甲胄的人，多半都没有好下场，而且想要驾驭那种甲胄，必先忍受惊人的痛苦。你就是因为无法忍受那种痛苦，所以才从炽天使的预备队中被除名的。” 贝隆默然不语。关于炽天使，他对庞加莱说的话里有一半是谎话，他说自己不够格穿炽天使甲胄，这是真的，但他说自己完全不了解炽天使，只是个一无所知的押车人，这是假的。如果他真的对炽天使一无所知，也不会被选为押车人。 “一百万人中能出一个炽天使么？为什么他恰好是教皇的儿子？偏偏是这种衔着金汤勺出生的男孩能够忍受炽天使的精神冲击，他甚至控制了圣剑装具。ExcaIiburt ！”李锡尼缓缓地靠在椅背上，“那个男孩，太奇怪了！” “嗨，我说朋友，”贝隆犹豫了很久，低声说，“我们好不容易活着离开炽天骑士团，过上现在的生活，很多人连活着离开的机会都没有……我们要珍惜现在，别把自己卷进麻烦里去。西泽尔·博尔吉亚……是个很大的麻烦。” 他难得的目光诚挚，也只有在多年好友面前，他才会流露这真实的一面。他的散漫不羁到底是本性还是伪装，贝隆自己都说不清楚。 李锡尼沉思良久，点了点头，“谢谢。” “希望你真能记住我说的话，”贝隆站起身来，“我先走了，明天得开一整天会。” “你不会有一整天会的，因为你已经被选为证人。明天夜里，你必须出席在西斯廷大教堂的审判。” “审判谁？” “西泽尔·博尔吉亚。”李锡尼淡淡地说，“我也一样，还有你在马斯顿认识的那位好朋友庞加莱，他也会在今夜乘坐火车抵达翡冷翠。” “有些麻烦可真不是想躲就能躲过的啊。”贝隆沉默良久，长长地叹了口气。
