Chapter 26 Changes in the Aristocratic Mentality
Lentart's late night is not much different from other cities. Except for the cathedral and the aristocratic settlement, the rest of the place is "illuminated" by silver moon or stars. Therefore, in this dark night where you can't see your fingers, Lentart is particularly quiet, with occasional lanterns flashing by.
"Deep Blue Gift" Sharp stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, staring at the darkness outside, and there was no place to appreciate, just like it was the most important meaning of his own life.
He raised his right hand and stroked the bulge on the bridge of his nose, and his crystal vibrant blue eyes were stained with a little nervousness. Others may not know that the referee giant Alfonso had led his personnel to leave and pursue the magician of the "Tower of Destruction", but as the deputy commander of the "Sword of Truth" Knights, the duke, the great noble, and one of the king's most trusted subordinates, the ninth-level golden knight, he had enough channels to know this fact, so he was waiting for the result.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong, the sound of fast running footsteps came, mixed with the clanging sound of iron boots colliding with the armor piece.
"Sir, the commander..." The knight who came to inform the news was gasping for breath. It took him less than a minute to arrive at Sharp's villa from nearby. "'Heart of Time' was seriously injured and returned. Alfonso and all the clergymen he brought with him died!"
"Heart of Time?" Sharp rarely did not control his expression, not understanding how it could be related to Ktoneya.
"This is the news that came from the inside of the Cathedral of Glory, the specific situation is unknown." The Knight said hurriedly, "Sir, Ktoneya accused you of colluding with a magician and assassinating Alfonso. He could not rescue him enough and could only save his life. He wanted you to die!"
The royal family bribed some bishops who were not strong and inconspicuous in the diocese of Holm, but could obtain and convey some information at critical moments.
"Alfonso was suspicious, or someone betrayed the action plan to Ktoneya, but since he intervened, why did Alfonso die, and why did he himself seriously injured..." Sharp seemed to be in a state of confusion, forgot that he was in danger, and he didn't understand what was going on without thinking.
Bang! The knight who reported the news suddenly knelt down on one knee, and the iron armor on his knee hit the floor, and said with a hint of crying: "Sir, please run away quickly. The church will definitely not let you go. They need a 'sacrificial gift' that failed to operate. They will send you to the stolen rack! As long as you hide until His Majesty the King comes back, you will definitely be innocent!"
"...If I escape, it means I have confessed my crime. I don't believe that the church can convict a duke without evidence and only the magician is talking nonsense. It will make all the nobles afraid and feel heartbroken." Sharp calmed down his doubts, nervousness and worries, and said to his knights with the temperament of a leader as usual.
The failure of the operation and the arrest of a magician, and thus betrayed himself was a situation he expected. He was fully prepared and believed that under the protection of His Majesty the King, he would not have anything to do. The only thing that made him a little uneasy was that the accusation came from another duke, the epic knight, Ktoneya, which was much heavier than expected!
Clang, the floor-to-ceiling window made a slight sound, and a ball of fire flew from a distance, penetrated directly, and turned into a fierce man with a buzz cut.
"Sir, run away quickly! A cardinal has proposed to arrest you!" He is Sharp's deputy, the seventh-level Sky Knight, and the "Demon-burning Flame" Gujufu.
Sharp clenched his right hand quietly, his tone still calm: "Don't worry, this is a routine arrest and interrogation. They have no evidence, I will not be able to do anything. If I run away now, I will never be able to explain it clearly."
"Sir, you can't believe in the church. In the past, they directly tried and sentenced many nobles who were only suspected to be killed!" Although Gujufu admired the deputy commander who could still remain calm and steady at such a critical moment, this could not calm his anxiety. Perhaps the "God-grace Angel" Franz will come here in person immediately!
Sharp shook his head and quietly held the handle of the sword with his left hand: "Those are nobles below the earl, I am the duke personally granted by His Majesty the King."
"Sir..." Gujufu wanted to pull the deputy commander to escape, but Sharp's firm attitude made him hesitate, "Or you hide in Nexer's Palace first, believe that the church dare not forcefully break in, and then wait for His Majesty the King to return."
"Uh." Sharp was a little moved.
At this moment, a lightning flashed through the sky, and a young man with sparse hair but erected roots in the bedroom. He was surrounded by silver lightning, and his pupils and skin color were extremely rare. "Sir, the leader of the regiment, the Cathedral of Guanghui decided not to arrest you, but sent a cardinal to comfort you secretly."
He is another deputy of Sharp, "Punishment of Sterling Silver" Seske.
"What?" The surprised voice was the "Demon Burning Flame" Gujufu and the first knight who arrived.
"Has the situation changed?" Sharp, as the leader, was also very shocked, but on the surface he tried hard to pretend to be calm and composed.
"Punishment of Sterling Silver" Seske shrugged: "I don't know, the core news remains to be found. Maybe they have decided to respect the nobles..."
There was a strong irony in his words.
Not long after, a cardinal came indeed and told Sharp about the condolences of the "God-Grace Angel" Franz, telling him: the evil magician "Lord of Death" set a trap, seriously injured Lord Ktoneya, killed clergy such as Alfonso, and deliberately spread this his cooperation with you, trying to destroy the relationship between the church and the nobles, but Lord "Grace Angel" is a saint favored by the Lord, wise and upright, and not affected by rumors at all. Please do not be sowed, but believe in the justice of the Lord.
After sending the cardinal away with a smile, Sharp turned around and entered the bedroom, his face became extremely serious, and said to the three subordinates including "Punishment of Sterling Silver": "There must be something else to happen, go and inquire!"
He probably understood that this action was a trap for the magician, and the target was not Alfonso at all, but Ktoneya, the "Heart of Time". Even the legendary peak of "Death Lord", was launched, dozens or hundreds of times more serious than he expected! Therefore, he could not pass the level so lightly. There must be other factors that resulted in such a result, and this is likely to be a more important and far-reaching event than this incident.
When the three subordinates left, Sharp paced back and forth, and he lost his mood to watch the dark night outside, and a faint anxiety spread uncontrollably.
The sky suddenly lit up, lightning flashed away, and the "Punishment of Sterling Silver" Seske appeared in the bedroom.
Sharp restrained his mood and maintained his image as a leader: "What did you find out?"
"There was a great war in Tria. The Pope's Crown used two divine descending techniques to repel and severely damage the 'Silver Moon' Atna, and killed Abel..." Seske narrated with shock.
"What?" Sharp could no longer maintain his image and exclaimed, "Silver Moon" took action? Then he was defeated?
Seske did not care about repeating and continued: "But the Pope's condition was not good, so he returned to Lance, the legendary magician, the blood clan prince, the ancient dragon and others flew over Tria and launched an attack on Lance directly, and the battle was in a state of anxiety."
This is a step further than what Franz said before, because new information has been sent from Reims.
"So that's it..." Sharp whispered, then comforted Seske, who was slightly frightened. "Unless a god-like action is taken, Lance will not be so easily broken. When the lords on the Tria front return, things will stabilize. I just don't know what the Pope's crown is like..."
Soon, the "Demon Burning Flame" Gujufu returned: "The leader of the regiment, the 'Angel King' Pavilion descended to the holy city of Rance, and used the gods and the guardians of the gods to block the attacks of legendary powerful men such as the ancient times, Danisos, Dracula, the Elf Queen, and the Sun King."
This "Sun King" is only the third level of the legend, not the original Thanos.
"The leader of the regiment, His Majesty the King, St. Griffith, St. Ivan, the 'Shield of Truth', Rudolph and others rushed back from Tria and completely repelled the attacks of the magician and the Dark Alliance." The first knight came back last and brought the latest news.
"The Pope's Crown did not take action, it seems that the situation is really bad..." Sharp analyzed softly, and suddenly, he laughed loudly, "No wonder they let me go so easily. At this time, the straits urgently need the help of the nobles, and the war to advance west is the same!"
"Yes, congratulations to you, Captain." The first knight said happily.
Sharp smiled and looked at the three trusted subordinates: "It's not my happiest thing to be judged. Can you guess what I'm happiest?"
"The stalemate of the war on the westward advance?" "The devil-burning flames" Gu Jufu answered with uncertainty.
"Silver Moon was also severely damaged?" The first knight was still full of admiration and worship for the church, the pope, and the magic of God.
"Punishment of Sterling Silver" Seske said silently: "Sir, are you happy that these two things have shown the power of the nobles? Even the Cardinal will be vigilant, win over and fear?"
"Yes." Sharp looked back at the window, and the darkness was hidden. "I only realized today that our strength is so strong. Even if I really kill Alfonso, they still have no way to deal with me."
Facing the deputy regiment commander deliberately exposed his heart and revealed his crimes, the three knights looked at each other and knelt down on one knee: "The nobles are supreme!"

"First Abel and Dracula set up a trap, raid the Pope, and then use themselves as bait to consume the Pope's "God Subjugation Art". Finally, Abel and Dracula kill the weak Pope. The plan is very good, but the "Silver Moon" is much softer than I imagined. Isn't he afraid that he will be directly erased by the "God Subjugation Art"? Or is he so confident in the immortality of Godlikeness? Moreover, he is so sure that the Pope cannot use the "God Subjugation Art" twice in a row?" After hearing the simple but effective plan described by "Silver Eye Earl", the "Death Lord" asked half sighed and half tentatively.
The beautiful blood clan with the title of "Silver Eye Earl" smiled and said, "Because he has a certain understanding of the power and sequelae of 'Divine Descendation Technique', during the Battle of Antiffer, the ancestor was watching nearby, but did not take action, and stayed around Reims for a long time. Unfortunately, he still made a little wrong judgment." (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian, the novel is better and faster!)
