Ladislaus stepped forward for the messenger who brought him good news, but unfortunately he was too fond of himself.

The expected burning sensation never appeared. When he raised his head, Ladislaus discovered that the target of the Trickster was actually the assassin who was not dead just now. At this time, this friend had been killed by his former colleague Trickster.

Arcane, corroding the neck.

Even Boss Sirica can't make him say anything that goes against professional ethics.

It seems that Lurna is quite confident about the poison on the dagger.

Ladislaus and Sirica did not dare to separate when the situation became clear. Fortunately, Anna and Old John rushed over soon after.

Anna's ability to remove diseases and treat minor injuries is better than nothing.

For safety reasons, Ladislaus stopped Anna's idea of ​​using up all the healing magic, and took the unconscious Cardinal Colonna back to the hotel to join Machiavelli.

After taking one look at the wound and smelling it carefully, Machiavelli looked solemn and said: "There must be stingrays, a little bit of red kelp, and maybe the secretions of the Kuo Tao fish people, theirs"

"Sweat" is dangerous to all terrestrial animals. It's really a masterpiece. With Cardinal Colonna's own vitality, the possibility of surviving is no more than 10%. However, as long as there are enough broad-spectrum antidotes, it can

If you can stabilize yourself, it won't be a problem when you get to Rome. There are few poisons on this plane that the true Pope cannot solve. However, we can't walk on the mountain road. His Highness Colonna's body is too weak, and I don't know where to buy it.

For the antidote, we must go to the Republic of Siena. Within a day's journey, there is a Clarice Monastery. The abbot is an old friend of mine. There will be enough antidote there to help the cardinal get to Rome."

"Why did the Ligurian trickster appear here? Who is she working for this time? The target is not me. The trickster and I have met before. It is impossible to find the wrong target."

"Insufficient information. It seems most likely that the French took action. Now the Republic of Liguria has become France's little partner. Or it may be the enemy of the Colonna family in the Roman Church State. The Dark Sun believes in "the victor is not blamed."

According to the law, the eradication of assassins has always been a reserved program of the Cardinals, but the Medici family is the most suspect. After all, spell casters are so rare, and spell casters who are willing to do "wet work" and lick blood from the edge of a knife are even rarer.

"Young Master, it's not impossible that this character is always on the go."

"Could it be that the Medici family has to take refuge with the French this time? Wasn't the lesson learned last time not profound enough?" The memory of the last time they cooperated with the French is definitely not a good one for the Medici family.

"In political issues, the slightest error can lead to thousands of miles, but I dare not jump to conclusions. Please forgive me, I have been away from the Game of Thrones for too long, and I don't have enough information to make a judgment." Machiavelli could not have made a judgment without enough information.

Make accurate judgments based on the information."

"Then let's go to the Clarice Monastery and save Cardinal Colonna's life no matter what." Ladislaus had realized that the Colonna family was a very important ally of the Pope, and he had already formed a relationship with him.

Thanks to the good karma, I will be able to rely on him and his family a lot in the future in the Church of the Dark Sun.

After tying Cardinal Colonna to Boss Sirica's horse, Ladislaus and his party quickly moved towards the monastery according to Machiavelli's instructions.

Perhaps because of the long-term hostile relationship, the checkpoints between the two countries are quite tight, and the border guards of the Republic of Siena are quite wary of people crossing the border from the Republic of Florence.

The situation was urgent and could not be delayed. Regardless of the risk of exposing his whereabouts, Ladislaus showed his purple ring of authority, which symbolized the high priest.

The guard captain let him pass immediately without saying a word.

This ring shows that Ladislaus is at least a bishop-level figure, and the top leaders of the Dark Sun Church are not allowed to interfere in the fight between countries that also believe in the Dark Sun, according to the underlying rules, even though the Papal State itself is now

Go into battle naked and directly oppose France's expansion in the Apennine Peninsula.

However, the border team captain would never dare to risk being accused of being a devil worshipper to cause trouble for someone who is at least a bishop.

Perhaps because of the long-term conflict between the two countries, after crossing the border, the journey was very depressed. Twenty miles past the border, not a single village or town was seen. It is difficult to imagine how a monastery could exist alone.

Machiavelli, however, was quite confident and assured Ladislaus that he would not be mistaken.

Because he once led his army through here, several small villages were destroyed under his personal orders.

In just over ten years, it is understandable that the locals are unwilling to return to settle in this dangerous place. After all, the Republic of Siena lost a large number of people in the last war. Within a generation, the pressure of the population on the land was not great.

This passage made Ladislaus wonder why that dean was friends with Machiavelli?

Fortunately, Machiavelli was very considerate. Before Ladislaus could speak, he told the story here in a deep tone that was caused by reluctance or pain.

"The dean is the kind of person who can maintain a meticulous gentlemanly demeanor even if he stays in a dark dungeon for half a month without seeing the sun or changing clothes.

The dean's wife is a druid of the Harpers Alliance. You should also know that this organization has always been against the Church of the Dark Sun and the Church of the Black Hand at the same time. Crazy, isn't it?

After a failed assassination attempt on the dean, the dean controlled her through some kind of mind control method and used her to deal with the Black Hand Church in Florence.

At that time, I was also His Majesty Black Hand's pastor. You know His Majesty Black Hand's attitude towards losers.

Finally one day, the lady came to assassinate me, and I captured her to publicly execute her.

The dean found me, surrendered to me, and begged me to save her life, spiritual magic? Maybe it was love.

I locked him in a dungeon for half a month, tied him to a chair, blindfolded him, scratched his wrist with a piece of wood, and then made him listen to the sound of dripping water for half a month, hoping to force him to confess publicly.

belief, and then burn him to death. This sequence can best strengthen the cohesion of believers.

You know, I failed, and he repeated his proposal from half a month ago, word for word.

Before him, this method had never failed. You don't know, most people under this pressure would be hysterically begging me to burn him to death within a day.

I faked her death and helped the abbot establish a monastery in the Republic of Siena as a base for intelligence warfare and our offensive.

When I say we are friends, I am not exaggerating, because for me the best option is to kill them both at the same time. Even if there is no public repentance, His Majesty the Black Hand will be satisfied with these two bonfire parties.

I also really admire the dean’s rock-solid will, which is stronger than any material.

The dean also understands this, so over the years, he has been actively serving the Republic of Florence. The last time he was able to siege the city of Siena, it was only because of his intelligence that he was able to severely damage the Siena army in the field."

Machiavelli's voice gradually deepened with the distant buildings,

Under the setting sun, a dilapidated monastery appeared in view.

ps: The supporting cast of the Knights Hospitaller is very well designed, thank you, I will try my best to arrange the scenes.
