"I didn't arrive in York County just these two days." Pangler said calmly: "I came here to investigate the death of Bishop Tangulas on the order of the Pope."

Vincent was startled, and looked sideways at Wei En. Wei En's expression did not change at all, and his body posture did not move at all, as if the four words Tangulas were just an ordinary name to him.

Pangler continued: "When I learned that Cromwell led the army to chase you to Yorkshire, I rushed here directly, hoping to see you and listen to your explanation. I didn't expect that I had only been here a few days.

Mount Vesuvius erupted."

Wei En listened quietly, with a calm face and calm eyes.

"A few days after the disaster, this strange Knights of Nanding appeared outside the city. Wei En, although you are very low-key and don't show up much, from Dudek and Singer's meeting with you and their subsequent support.

See, you are the real leader of this Knights."

Wei En shrugged, neither objecting nor acknowledging it.

"To be honest, I'm very surprised that the royal family has disappeared for so many years, how come so many people suddenly appear, and why are the royal family willing to obey your orders and help? But these are not the most important. In terms of the effect alone, this

The appearance of the Knights has indeed saved many lives and even prevented the occurrence of more terrible disasters." At this point, Pangler's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing his first smile since entering the tent, although his face was pale

Still very serious, but his kind left eye quickly wiped a hint of approval, forming a sharper contrast with the cold right eye. Looking up at Vincent, he said: "Compared to Oak Church, this time

, you two actually did a pretty good job."

Vincent bowed and said thank you, and Wei En also said a few words of humility.

"Wei'en, are you a believer?" Pangler suddenly changed the subject and asked Wei'en, making Wei'en stunned.

After pondering for a long time, Wei En slowly said: "I have faith, but it may not be the same as your faith."

Waving his hand, Pangler seemed to be relaxed and said: "Have faith and you will have eternal life. My grace, if you are willing to believe in the Lord and convert under the faith of God, I, or the Pope, will personally baptize you."

Wei En and Vincent were both shocked when they heard this. Vincent thought to himself: "The Pope and the mentor personally baptized. This is a level that only kings or crown princes can have. It seems that his brother has gone anywhere.

, it is the focus of attention from all sides."

Pangler continued: "Weine, if you are willing to become a believer, based on your ability and achievements, the Pope may grant you a very important position, such as making you a cardinal in the surrounding areas of Yorkshire, with full responsibility.

By that time, you will no longer have the power of one or two people to manage the teaching affairs here and control the royal family. You will have the support of the Pope and the backing of the entire Holy See in the mainland!" At this point, Pangler stared with bright eyes.

Wei En: "From a fugitive to a distinguished cardinal, Wei En, this is not a bad suggestion."

"Is this just your suggestion?" Wei En turned his head and thought for a moment before asking.

Pangler smiled slightly: "Before coming to you, I have already contacted His Majesty the Pope, and he agreed in principle with my suggestion." Seeing the performance of the Nanding Knights these two days, Pangler considered it carefully.

Finally, he had used his own magic to exchange opinions with the Pope about Wei En and obtained his approval. However, this kind of long-range magic was very energy-consuming, otherwise Vincent would not have been able to quickly break through the magic circle he set up outside the tent.

But he didn't feel it in time.

Wei En was also staring at Pangler at this moment. After a while, Fang slowly said: "It seems that the Pope does not think that I killed Tangulas?"

Pangler was slightly startled: "I didn't expect this little guy to draw inferences and take his own suggestions into consideration on this matter." Then he said: "I can't guess what the Pope is thinking, but the matter of Tangulas is still under investigation. If

You are not a murderer, so there is no need to worry."

Wei En nodded and stopped talking. The three people in the tent had different expressions, but they all fell into silence. After a while, Wei En raised his head and said: "Sorry, Tutor Pangler, I think I need some time.

consider."

Pangler was not surprised. He smiled slightly: "Okay, I will give you one day. If you agree to this suggestion, your knights can continue to fly the red cross flag. Otherwise, you must change it before the sun sets tomorrow."

Got this flag.”

Vincent said: "Mr. Tutor, in our hearts, the red cross on a white background is just a symbol of humanity and does not have any religious significance. There is no need for us to change the flag."

Pangler said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if you have it or not, Wei En, in this world, whether it is humanity or religion, it should come from God's intention and accept God's influence, otherwise," Pangler's face changed.

Su: "They have no meaning of existence!"

After seeing off Pangler, Wei En and Vincent stood in the middle of the camp, surrounded by tents that were either bright or dark, and stars were shining above their heads.

Watching Pangler's back disappear into the darkness, Vincent said slowly: "Judging from Pangler's attitude, the Pope has not concluded that you killed Tangulas."

"Maybe, but not necessarily."

"Why?"

"Because my current value may be greater than the value of a murderer being sent to the gallows." Wei En replied calmly.

"Well, that makes sense. So what do you think of Pangler's suggestion?"

Wei En muttered: "I haven't thought about it yet." After a pause, he looked at a tent with lights still on in the distance and said, "I think I should discuss it with her."

Vincent followed Wei En's gaze and nodded: "Yes, I think Xiaote may be able to give you some advice to help you make up your mind."

Xiao Te has just recovered from a serious illness and has been recuperating in a tent. However, under Nan Ding's care, each day seems to be getting better. Although he is still very weak, it is only a matter of time before he recovers. When he walked to a tent, Wei En coughed and said

: "Are you asleep?"

After a while, the answer came from the tent: "Wei'en?"

"It's me. I want to discuss something with you."

"Okay, come in."

Wei En walked into the tent. He looked up and saw Xiao Te lying on a simple camp bed in the dim candlelight, covered with a thick quilt. There was still a hint of paleness on his face. A pair of wise eyes stared at Wei En.

There is an indescribable softness in his eyes...

Wei En moved a chair and sat next to Xiao Te, with a gentle look on his face: "Do you feel okay?"

"Not bad, thank you."

Wei En smiled slightly, but he was pondering in his heart how to speak. Xiao Te watched his words and said with a faint smile: "What do you want from me?"

Wei En thought about it and said slowly: "Just now, my mentor Pangler had a talk with me."

There was a slight surprise on Xiao Te's face, he straightened up and asked curiously: "Pangler is looking for you? Why is he looking for you?"

"He carries messages for the Pope."

"Send a message? What message?"

"The Pope wants to appoint me Cardinal of Yorkshire."

After Xiao Te heard this, he lowered his head to think. A strand of hair from her forehead fell down and brushed across her face as white as snow. Wei En looked at it, and for some reason, tenderness surged out of her heart. She stretched out her palm.

, gently lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ears.

Wei En's fingers brushed against Xiao Te's cheek. Xiao Te's body trembled slightly, and then he stopped moving, allowing Wei En to lift his hair. After a long time, Xiao Te said softly: "Then you decide to take up the priesthood?

?”

"I want to hear your opinion first."

"You really want to listen to me?"

"Yes."

Xiao Te suddenly raised his head and stared into Wei En's eyes without blinking. His sharp and bright eyes seemed to penetrate Wei En's soul: "If I give my opinion, will you act according to it?"

Wei En was slightly startled. He did not expect Xiao Te to ask such a direct question. He paused for a few seconds and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you."

"Really?" Xiao Te also seemed a little surprised by Wei En's answer. He didn't expect his answer to be so straightforward, and he gave the answer almost without thinking.

"certainly."

Xiao Te stared at Wei En, and a hint of cunning suddenly flashed in his clear eyes: "Aren't you afraid that my opinion is not what you want?"

"I'm afraid. But, I believe you will give us a responsible opinion on our future." A trace of a fox-like smile appeared on Wei En's lips.

When Xiao Te heard this, his face turned slightly red and he wanted to refute Wei En, but he remained silent.

Wei En patted Xiao Te's hand: "Okay, stop being so pretentious and tell me."

"Okay." Xiaote said with a straight face, "I think you should refuse this appointment."

"You think I should refuse?" Wei En was slightly surprised. This was exactly the opposite of what he expected: "Why?"

Xiao Te turned his head slightly and looked at Wei En: "Tell me the truth, do you want to hold this priesthood?"

"You know my character, and I have told you my thoughts about the future. Frankly speaking, I don't want to be a bishop."

Xiao Te spread his hands: "That's terrible. Since you don't want to do it, why force yourself?"

Wei En gently stroked his chin with his fingers: "Oh, but the problem is not that simple."

"Why?"

"Pangler said that taking on this priesthood requires me to take on the responsibility of controlling the royal family."

Xiaote smiled slightly and said: "If the royal family acts mischievously in the future, even if you don't serve as a cardinal, will you sit back and watch?"

"Of course not." Wei En shook his head.

"Does being a cardinal have anything to do with your responsibility to the royal family?"

Wei En frowned and chewed on Xiao Te's words. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand, the Pope wants to control the royal family through me."

Wei En stood up, pacing, and murmured: "The seal of God has been unlocked. Although we know that this is a coincidence, the Pope and others do not know what is going on, and they do not understand whether the current royal family is still alive.

How much power does it have? They must be thinking that the royal family can break the seal. This is not something that can be accomplished by human power. This must be the will of God. So since the gods have forgiven the royal family, there is no need for them to continue to hate the royal family. However,

You cannot block the power of the royal family, but you can try to control the power of the royal family for your own use, and if you want to control the royal family, the most suitable candidate is of course me."

"Yes, not to mention that the church does not have definite evidence that you killed Tangulas. If they insist on touching you, they will definitely be afraid of the influence of our Xiao family and the power of the royal family. However, if you are baptized and become a priest, the church will naturally want to

You hand over all the information about the royal family and find out the truth about the royal family and you. If you refuse to cooperate at that time, won't they become famous?"

Wei En lightly smacked his palms together: "That's right. However, Pangler's attitude was very firm just now. What he meant was that if I refused to join the church, they would probably be rude."

Xiaote smiled and said, "So what if you're not welcome? Although my father is temporarily staying in the Elysee Palace by the Queen Mother, if they want to touch you, aren't they afraid of the royal family's revenge? Aren't they afraid that they won't be able to communicate with the royal family in the future?"

Wei En nodded: "Yes! Xiao Te, this is called taking a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter."

Xiao Te gently repeated Wei En's words, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes! Yes, take a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter."

Wei En sat back in the chair, the joy on his face was beyond words: "Xiao Te, you are so smart, you can clarify the context of the problem in just a few words."

"What's the point? You're just in the middle of the game and don't see it that clearly. But..." Xiao Te said seriously: "I also want to ask you something?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Vincent watched Wei En walk into Short's camp, turned around, and began to continue his inspection. After walking for a long time, he took out a square wine bottle from his arms and took a big sip.

Slowly tightening the lid of the wine bottle, Vincent recalled the conversation with Pangler just now and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "I didn't expect that the church, which has always been an enemy, would suddenly put down its airs and change its attitude. It was really unexpected. Haha,

This guy Wei En doesn't look like a cardinal from that point of view."

Suddenly, Vincent's face darkened, he turned his head and stared at the darkness not far away, and said coldly: "Who is it? Come out!"

"Haha, I was discovered by you. You are worthy of being the number one swordsman beside Wei En. He is very responsive." Following these words, a white figure slowly walked out of the darkness. His figure was tall and tall,

The right hand holds a long sword.
