Chapter 8 The right hand and the right hand

Westminster Cathedral is a typical Romanesque church. It is located directly south of Fort Rio - echoing the Verne Palace in the north of the city and forming the main axis of the city. As the religious activity center of the Kingdom of Kant, Westminster Cathedral

The special church is large in scale and extraordinary in momentum, no less than the royal palace opposite it.

Compared with the towering spires on both wings of the Gothic church, Westminster Abbey appears simpler and heavier. In fact, the Romanesque church, which is entirely made of stone, symbolizes the coffins of prophets and saints.

, so it looks heavy in form, gray in color, and melancholy in expression. Especially the large relief sculpture of the Last Judgment inlaid above the main entrance of the church vestibule. Among countless people prostrate with regret and weeping, the Holy Spirit holds up the right hand of punishing evil and sin. This is

This makes every believer who comes to worship feel guilty in front of the relief, and his heart is also filled with the fear of hell.

"Man is sinful as soon as he comes into this world, and the first thing to accomplish in life is to atone for his sins." This is a sentence that every priest in Westminster must say when he says mass.

Bishop McCarthy sat alone in front of the long dining table. There were seven huge candle holders on the dining table. The candlelight of dozens of candles illuminated the entire dining room as if it were daytime. The dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth and rich dishes were displayed.

Dishes and fruits.

After swallowing the last bite of bread, McCarthy picked up the red wine and put it to his mouth. Although the church has always strictly prohibited clergy from drinking alcohol, for an old and venerable cardinal like him, red wine is for health.

It is for health care, not for enjoyment and indulgence.

With the red wine in his throat, McCarthy sighed comfortably and leaned back in his chair. Looking at the oil painting of angels painted on the vaulted roof, he suddenly felt some desire in his heart. "It's night again. Alas, what if Carter

It would be great if Shiyuan Garden was still there. With a few girls he sent, I wouldn't have to worry about spending such a lonely night." Thinking of the tender skin and the ecstasy moans, a surge of anger surged into McCarthy's chest.

In my mind: "Wei'en, this hateful guy who ruined everyone's good things, where did this heretic come from?"

At this time, a monk appeared at the door, lowered his hands and said solemnly: "Your Majesty Bishop, Tangulas is here."

McCarthy put down his glass and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Let him in."

As footsteps sounded, a young man walked quickly into the dining room. He was dressed in black robes, with a silver cross hanging on his chest. He held a thick Old Testament in his right hand. He was thin and handsome.

Wearing a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses on his face. Walking in front of McCarthy, Tangulas bent down and saluted: "Dear Bishop, good evening."

McCarthy squinted at Tangulas, and forced a smile on his fat face: "Hello, Tangulas, sit down."

Tangulas said: "Thank you, sir. But how can I have a seat in front of you?"

McCarthy laughed, stood up, walked to Tangulas side, held his shoulders, made him sit on a chair, and said with a smile: "You're welcome. By the way, have you eaten?"

"I've finished eating. Thank you for your concern, sir." Tangulas bowed again.

McCarthy pushed the red wine over: "Then have a glass of wine, and you can get your own glass."

Tangulas did not refuse, and stretched out his hand to pour a glass of red wine. After taking a sip, he praised a few words, and the smile on McCarthy's face became even more joyful.

"Tangolas, how have you been doing in the past two days? What has Wei En been doing recently?" McCarthy asked, holding up his wine glass.

"There hasn't been much progress yet. But Wei En has left Xiao Mansion and is working with a group of pagans in a band in the city. They also organized a performance in a wine room last night."

"Band?" McCarthy lowered his face and said angrily: "He is so brave! A pagan dares to privately use music to confuse people's hearts among the people. This is complete depravity and blasphemy!"

"You are right. I originally wanted to ask the Inquisition immediately to impose sanctions on his behavior, but Prince Vander had returned to the royal capital two days ago. Wei En is now a popular figure in Xiao Mansion. When the band performed yesterday, Crane

Steve even went to congratulate him in person. Considering these factors, I think we should be more cautious."

McCarthy's face was uncertain. After a long time, Fang said: "You handled it right. Not only the Xiao Mansion, but also a few old antiques from the Anglican Church are very interested in Wei En. Without their obstruction, the Inquisition will not easily come forward.

of."

Tangulas said nothing. McCarthy pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this Wei En?"

Tangulas replied: "According to my observation, although this person is joking and frivolous on the surface, he actually still has certain abilities. In particular, he is very good at winning people's hearts..."

"Why?" McCarthy interrupted.

"When they performed last night, there were a lot of people at the scene, but nothing went wrong. I noticed that there was Vincent beside Wei En. Aside from his own martial arts, he was also very interested in security work such as maintaining order.

He is very expert. Almost one person can do it without leaking. He must have received professional training in the army. It is said that people like this are the talents that the kingdom urgently needs. They will be very popular wherever they go. Why should he have to be the same as Wei En?

What if the powerless civilians get together?"

"Well, that makes sense. What else do you think?"

"As for Wei En himself, although I only have a general understanding of him, he has a flexible mind and an eclectic way of doing things. He seems to have experience and knowledge that does not match his age. This is very puzzling to me.

"Sir, I have an idea." Tangulas said.

McCarthy said: "You say."

"Since Wei'en is still a pagan, why don't we take gentle measures to convert him to the love of God and be used by us?"

"Absolutely not!" McCarthy flatly refused: "It's such a bad idea that you can express it. Carter's life and death are unknown now. If I do this, what will other people think of me? Besides, the Pope is extremely angry about the Watergate incident and almost avoids it.

He won my position as Cardinal, and with this alone, it would not be a pity for Wei En to die a hundred times."

Tangulas listened quietly, with an expression on his face. McCarthy paused and softened his voice: "Wei'en is just a nobody. Without the support of the Xiao family, what could he have accomplished? Dear Tangulas.

, In my eyes, you can stand up to a hundred of these guys who are ignorant of the sky and the earth with a few tricks."

Tanggulas once again bent down and saluted, expressing his sincere gratitude.

McCarthy calmed down for a moment and continued: "Tanggulas, Wei En's matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Her Majesty the Queen Mother's decision to confer a medal on Wei En has been delayed again and again, and the time has been delayed for too long."

Tanggulas suddenly said: "My lord, why don't you just let nature take its course and let Her Majesty the Queen Mother award him a medal?"

"What do you mean?" McCarthy's face darkened.

"I mean, since the medal has been awarded, it is logical that Wei En will serve the kingdom. Then we followed the trend and asked Her Majesty the Queen Mother to appoint him as a circuit judge of the Privy Council and let him go to other provinces to deal with some difficult matters. In this way, we will not

Can I pretend to be someone else?"

McCarthy thought for a while and said happily: "What a good idea. In this way, we can deal with Wei En quietly, and once he is finished, we can find any reason and write a letter to impeach Xiao Te in the Privy Council. That will be enough.

Let them shoot themselves in the foot."

"Let me think about it, what troubles are there in the provinces now?" McCarthy was excited for a while, then frowned and thought.

Tangulas took off his eyes, put them to his mouth and blew on them, then took out a thin silk scarf from the Bible and wiped the lenses slowly. McCarthy looked at him and asked: "Tangulas,

What are your ideas?"

"Sir, what do you think of this mission in the Castle of Saramento? A place where even the Inquisition lost its troops must not make Wei En feel relaxed."

McCarthy was stunned and said with joy: "Okay, great! Tangulas, you are really my right-hand man."

The carriage came to the entrance of Xiao Mansion. Wei En got out of the car and informed the guard at the door. Not long after, the old manager Domenig personally came out and welcomed Wei En into the residence with a smile on his face.

After entering Xiao Mansion, Domenig took Wei En and walked straight to the back garden. Wei En felt strange and asked: "Old manager, where are you taking me?"

"Our master rests in the back garden every afternoon. He just gave instructions that Wei En is not an outsider. When he comes, just go to the garden to see him."

Soon, Wei En followed the old manager to the back garden. Looking from a distance, Wei En saw a middle-aged man sitting in the shade of a tree on the green lawn with his eyes closed and meditative.

There was a small table, and a huge black dog lay beside his legs.

Domenig and Wei En walked over, and when they were far away, the old manager said respectfully: "Sir, Wei En is already here."

Prince Vander said "Oh" and opened his eyes. Wei En stood behind Domenig and looked at Prince Vander carefully, feeling a little uneasy. What he was about to face was not only a powerful person.

The prince of the kingdom is also a brave and skilled warrior.
