After listening to Captain Sherlock's report, the bald Lord Thacker's face was as dark as water and he said nothing.
Sherlock knew that the more the pudgy man in front of him behaved like this, the more dangerous he would be.
Thacker waved, and Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.
Sure enough, with Sherlock's ears, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground behind him through the door, as well as the suppressed curses.
Lord Thacker knows something bad!
what to do?
The first and most important thing is to keep the holy relics privately, which offends both the Holy See and the king.
In fact, the Hansen family, which has always had a good relationship with the Holy See, was actually allowed to obtain the holy relics. This is even more inappropriate. The country should hate itself.
In the end, the sacred object was lost, and the woman was actually taken away. This was like losing both the wife and the army.
Nowadays, the relationship between the king and the Holy See is very complicated. Since the power war started three hundred years ago, the royal power has gradually awakened, while the religious power has been clinging to its own territory, fighting to the death with the royal power in private, but on the surface there is still harmony.
In the current division of power on the mainland, although the religious authority is still strong, it has indeed declined compared to the past. There are endless voices opposing the religious authority in various places, and many intellectuals trained within the Holy See are also calling for religious reform.
The royal power has gained the upper hand to a limited extent. Now is the time for the two forces to use all possible means to fight for control of the continent. At this time, news of the divine messenger showing up and performing miracles came. This must be the result of the king's unhappiness.
What I would like to see is that this divine messenger who has had such a great impact is most likely created by the holy relics he has hidden in his possession.
Thinking of this, Lord Thacker became the first of two. The word "Inquisition" quickly occupied all his thoughts.
As long as a supernatural event occurs, the deacons of the Inquisition will appear, and as the highest local ruler, he will definitely accept their questioning. Although there is no direct leadership relationship, the status of those deacons is transcendent, not to mention Thacker.
The lords of the free cities and even the dukes of some small principalities would all respect them when they saw them.
If you have a clear conscience, that's all. The key question is, is there something evil in Lord Sake's heart?
The sacred object called "God's Eye" has been in his hands for more than 20 years. As a supporter of royal power, he should have handed it over to the king through secret channels long ago, but in front of him.
Faced with the possibility of immense fame, honor and wealth, his ambition and greed made him hide all this. But more than twenty years of secret research without finding anything had already exhausted his patience and curiosity, and this sacred object also
What started out as the apple of his eye turned into a hot potato. He didn't know what to do with it, so he could only put it in a hidden compartment in his desk.
But who could have imagined that the hateful thief not only stole the heart of the woman he loved most, but also took away the sacred object, leaving only a green straw hat for himself.
Just steal it, why do you want to make such a farce of "the arrival of an angel"?
He refused to believe that the holy object had any special powers. Because he had been studying the holy object for more than twenty years, if there was anything abnormal, he would have discovered it long ago.
This matter is mysterious and unreasonable inside and out.
There are too many joints for people to figure out.
What should we do if the deacons of the Inquisition come and investigate this matter?
What a headache! However, there is still a crucial part. How to report this matter to the king?
If you say that you don't know about it, it's simply impossible. If you look into this matter, you will find that it is inextricably linked to you.
Lying is the most useless cover-up.
How to make a story that is airtight and logical? This is the most difficult thing to do.
well!
Thacker sighed. It was really sad to be caught between the Holy See and the Kingdom. He could not please either side. If he had known this, he should have secretly handed it over to the king immediately after getting the holy object.
For the Holy See, holy objects are weapons that make it more powerful and sacred. Not making the Holy See stronger is what the king strives for.
The ruler of Sac City let out a scream that would not be known to anyone.
Hanson Manor
Mrs. Hansen's reaction after hearing Mrs. Yasili's report was beyond the latter's expectations.
Mrs. Yasili looked at Mrs. Hanson anxiously. The expression on the face of the hostess of the Hanson family was complicated, but she did not notice any trace of anger or sadness.
What a bottomless woman. Mrs. Yasili secretly commented on the mistress in her heart.
"Okay, I understand. You can go and rest." Mrs. Hansen said calmly.
"Yes." Mrs. Yasili bowed and stepped back.
When Mrs. Hansen was alone in the room, she gently closed her beautiful eyes.
Is that child so afraid of me that he insists on running away?
This is fine, because after all, when he arrives in the holy city of Hanting, this child will no longer be his.
Two drops of crystal water flowed from the corners of the eyes to the wings of the nose.
The tears I shed for that child were finally all gone!
After dawn, the Hansen family's troops began to take action on a large scale, causing the whole city to be in an uproar. However, those who were interested would notice that the troops in the City Lord's Mansion remained motionless, and they were the ones who should have taken action.
There was an undercurrent in the city, and spies from all sides were sending intelligence to their superiors. Unfortunately, some assassins finally came from afar. They were notified halfway that the whereabouts of the target person was unknown, so they returned the same way.
.
So amidst the shouting and cursing, something was slowly fermenting, and changes caused new changes, disrupting the original direction of things. Everything was moving towards the unknown.
The source of all the turmoil and the chief culprit - Master Alvin, was riding a tall horse leisurely on the road with Jack and Janice.
The road leading to Joseph County is extremely smooth. It must be said that this should be regarded as the rule's virtue. The three people on the horse were admiring the surrounding scenery and discussing the road.
Alvin said: "I can't tell that the Lord of Thacker City is still very smart. No wonder he is extremely smart. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is not something ordinary people can understand."
After making some strange expressions on his face, Jack had to agree with the other party's evaluation of his love rival.
Only Janice giggled.
"You two really dare to talk. Fortunately, there is no one else here, otherwise you two would laugh to death."
It has been three days since the miracle came, and Alvin's mysterious aura has faded away. Apart from using the healing technique on Jack, there is nothing special about this good-looking young man.
"Who doesn't know that this road was built by the Hansen family with donations to facilitate smooth trade. Others call this road 'Hansen Road'. Young Master of the Hansen family, you are really deaf to what is happening outside the window.
, you do good deeds without leaving your name!"
Alvin smiled sheepishly. He really didn't expect that it turned out that this road was built by his own family. Just now he was really "selling melons and bragging about himself".
In this way, this road can be regarded as one's own property.
What a pity! Alvin felt like crying again when he thought about his family property.
