Chapter 798 The Archbishop of Evernight Sin
"Don't you think that there is really a transcendent who can control special power after just awakening? And he even killed Xue Tianlin. According to our investigation after the incident within the Morning Embrace Church, Xue Tianlin should not have any resistance. The ability has been erased.”
Aston lay lazily on the sofa, not looking at the oil paintings hanging on the wall, and analyzing to himself.
"So I think this plan is stupid. It was exposed seven years ago. It's just that the Morning Embrace Church is waiting for someone to take the bait. In fact, not even a single civilian in Defia City was killed in this incident. , isn’t it?”
At this point, Aston smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. It seems that when the Death Note was first brought over, I killed an unlucky guy."
"It's impossible. There are all loyal believers in the church, and no one will betray Yongye."
There is an opening in an oil painting of a house, and the old wooden door opens and closes as he speaks, just like a mouth.
Aston sneered, "Morning Embrace Church thinks so too."
"Priest of Sin, you passed!"
The oil painting of a middle-aged woman spoke coldly, calling out the other person's professional title within the church.
Aston stood up, and the light from the top shone on his handsome face. Even though he was over fifty, he only had a few forehead lines, and his whole body had an intoxicating mature aura. I believe that if he attended a social occasion, he would still look different. The young girl is heartbroken for this.
He held the wine glass and turned around in a circle, like a master performing on the stage, but his eyes were sarcastic, "How arrogant is it to think that there will never be any problems internally?"
He looked around at the oil paintings hanging on the wall, "If the news really wasn't leaked, how should you explain the outcome of this incident?"
There was silence in the hall for a long time, and then the oil painting of a house said, "...What about the second possibility?"
Aston sat back on the sofa and shrugged, "It's just bad luck."
"bad luck?"
Those "oil paintings" were puzzled and frowned thousands of miles away.
"Literally, the Church of Morning Embrace has really discovered a new genius, and they themselves didn't know that the Transcendent named Lu Chen would be so strong. Everything was just a mistake, but the probability is very low."
Aston explained.
This time the oil painters understood the deep meaning of each other's words. If Lu Chen was the only one, it might be a coincidence that their Yongye Church was unlucky.
But there was also a Night Watchman accompanying Lu Chen, whose strength reached a quasi-special level. According to the data, the other party was an experienced Night Watchman. Could it be that the Morning Support Church didn't know her strength?
This is obviously impossible, so this is probably a plan that the Morning Embrace Church has planned for a long time, waiting for them to take the bait.
Aston's youngest son, Clementine, was unlucky enough to run into him.
"We need to recover the Death Note. It has been promoted to a special secret item. If it is placed in the Church of Morning Embrace, it will cause a lot of trouble for us."
The oil painting of a middle-aged woman spoke.
"Recycle? Do we want to break into the royal capital?"
Said another oil painting.
"No, there is no need to do this, because the Transcendent named Lu Chen has not handed over the Death Note, and it is still on him. According to the tip, he left for the Royal Capital today."
The armored knight oil painting said.
Aston was sitting on the sofa, tasting the liquid in the wine glass, and did not speak his mind.
After a while, when the paintings all fell silent, he slowly said: "If the Death Note is in our hands, the Church of Morning Embrace will feel anxious, but in their hands, it doesn't matter at all. Since the previous plan has failed, There is no need to continue to be persistent. It would be really arrogant to treat everyone in Morning Embrace Church as fools."
The oil paintings were silent for a while, and finally the oil painting of a house said, "If you don't mind."
What he meant was that it was your son who died in the incident and it had nothing to do with us.
And as Aston said, the Death Note is of little use to the Church of Morning Embrace, because they don't know the real names and looks of the members of the Church of Evernight.
The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. This is the natural advantage of the Eternal Night Church.
Even though the faces of some big figures in the Eternal Night Church are known to the Morning Embrace Church, they don't know the real names of those big figures. Secondly, those big figures are not afraid of the Death Note at all.
If Chris Aston, one of the seven Sin Archbishops of Eternal Night Church, the Arrogant Sin Archbishop, doesn't mind, this matter can be dropped.
After all, in the series of actions they are about to carry out, the matter with Defias is indeed just a small matter.
It's a pity that Xue Tianlin died, but dead people have no value.
"There should be other things to discuss in today's meeting, right?"
Aston's voice was calm, as if he really didn't mind that his stupid son died outside.
"The church has found the location of the inheritance guardian. His Majesty the Pope means that it is up to you to take action this time to restore your family's lapse."
The armored knight oil painting spoke.
"Oh? You should know the consequences of asking me to make a trip and find out that it was a cover-up, right?"
Aston's voice deepened.
"It won't be wrong this time, otherwise the Pope wouldn't let you take action."
The armored knight oil painting said calmly, "What you should worry about is not running away, but the strength of the guards there."
Aston put down his wine glass with an inexplicable smile on his face.
…………
At night, the brightly lit city is like a beacon on the earth.
There are many tall Gothic buildings and the wide roads are busy with traffic. Every gentleman walking on the roads is well-dressed and behaves politely.
The girls occasionally got off the carriage, and the old housekeepers in deacon uniforms stood up straight and helped the ladies out of the carriage.
They wore long silk skirts, dotted with lace patterns, and the corners of the skirts were scented with subtle fragrance, and their every move was filled with ladylike elegance.
Because of the earth's veins, the city is warm in winter and cool in summer. White pigeons fly between the high-rise buildings and neighbors from time to time, becoming a landscape at night.
This is the Holy City, the royal capital of the Sistine Empire, the center of imperial power, and a completely prosperous gathering place.
Some people say that in this city, don’t underestimate anyone. Maybe the ordinary old man who sits next to you every day in the breakfast restaurant you frequent, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, is a certain Duke.
Some people say that in this city, you are always on the go.
A boy with excellent academic performance came from other places and was admitted to several colleges in the Holy City. He was full of ambitions and wanted to become a master in this city.
The girls work hard to dress themselves up. They study every day how to get better figures and make their faces look more attractive. They pay attention to their tone of voice and learn various etiquettes in order to one day become a duchess.
Adult men are busy at work, nobles maintain a complicated social circle, and ladies are thinking about how to hold a successful salon.
From the east gate of the Holy City, a carriage slowly drove in. The noisy and prosperous atmosphere rushed to the five senses, making the big girl sitting in the carriage couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.
This is a carriage arranged by the Diocese of Noah Province. It is horse-drawn by Aikazin. The decoration was originally considered gorgeous in Ocalan City, but when walking on this road, it seemed ordinary.
The shops on both sides of the road were classically decorated, and no one came out to solicit customers. Well-dressed men and women walked in and out on both sides of the street, telling their humorous jokes.
The eldest girl from the "countryside" was stunned. She looked at the city that was still bright under the night, and for a moment she felt like she was in an imaginary castle.
Every twenty miles on both sides, there is a pillar with a row of large kerosene lamps hanging on it. The lights are also burning inside and outside the doors of various shops.
As a girl who was reluctant to light a lamp while studying at night, Lu Lin was surprised by the luxury in the Holy City.
No wonder the royal capital is also known as the city that never sleeps. It is always bright here no matter what time of day, and there are always revelers here all night long.
Looking into the distance, there was a wall in the center of the city, in which stood a tall, white castle. Lu Lin swore that when she saw this castle in her textbook, she never thought it would be so majestic.
In the area to the left of the center, there is still a Gothic cathedral, which is much larger than the one in Ocalan City. The height of the building even faintly covers the castle in the center of the city.
Lu Lin looked at the graceful ladies walking around in the street, wearing long lace skirts and deerskin high-heeled shoes, and then looked at the goose-yellow sarong she was wearing, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself.
Lu Chen did not sit in the car, but sat outside the car with Leng Yue, observing this ancient city.
The Sistine Empire's rule has lasted for thirteen hundred years, and the capital has not been moved during this period. This is a true thousand-year holy city that combines prosperity and faith in one place.
It is not only the center of imperial power, but also a place of pilgrimage for all followers of the Goddess of Morning Embrace, because the headquarters of the Church of Morning Embrace here has an inscription that is said to have been left by the goddess herself.
On the street, Lu Chen and Lengyue drove forward, no doubt in the eyes of many people, they were freaks.
Because no gentleman would hire two coachmen, and no gentleman would sit outside the carriage with his legs dangling in the air. This is unseemly.
But no one would point fingers at Lu Chen and the others, because that would be disrespectful.
In this way, with some people watching with curiosity and confusion, Lu Chen drove all the way to the magnificent church on the left side of the city center.
A rough estimate is that the area of this church, including the square, should be over one hundred square miles, which is comparable to the area of some small cities.
In addition to the main church, there are several buildings that belong to various "departments" of Morning Embrace Church.
At the entrance of the square, adjacent to First Avenue, a silver-haired man in a gray suit was standing there waiting.
Many pedestrians passing by changed their expressions slightly when they saw the badge on his chest, and quickened their pace to leave.
The man's face was expressionless, ignoring the gazes of the people around him.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped in front of the square that the man smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Lu, welcome to the capital."
Some people in the Morning Embrace Square looked here, and those who knew Helen had a look of surprise in their eyes.
This is a lunatic from the Inquisition. Would he be so polite to others?
And the people sitting in that carriage were also very surprised. Why did he have two coachmen?
Looking at the people here, they curiously waited for the owner of the carriage to show up. They wanted to know what kind of person the mysterious "Mr. Lu" was, who would park the carriage in front of Morning Embrace Plaza carelessly and ask someone like Helen to show up. People greet.
The man in the black trench coat jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain. Many people held their breath to see who the big shot was.
The black-haired oriental man stretched out his hand like a butler, stretched out a white hand from inside the curtain, and grasped the rock-solid arm. A woman wearing a goose-yellow sarong got out of the car.
This caused question marks to appear in many people's eyes. She was clearly a country woman. She didn't have any noble aura about her. When she got out of the car, she just helped her and jumped out. She was extremely rude. Is this a big shot?
No, before that, she was a woman, how could she be a husband?
After Lu Lin stood firm, Lu Chen asked Leng Yue to "park" aside, and then he stepped forward and shook hands with Helen.
It was only then that those who paid attention in the square realized that this coachman was the real "Mr. Lu"
"Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"
On the way to transfer, Lu Chen passed by a small town and heard Lu Lin say that there were some good special snacks there, so he delayed for a while.
Originally, they were supposed to arrive in the Holy City before nightfall.
"I just got off work and have been waiting here for ten minutes."
Helen said, and kissed Lu Lin's hand, which made Lu Lin feel a little uncomfortable for a while, and she forgot all the etiquette she had learned in the seminary.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Helen introduced herself with a smile: "This beautiful lady must be Miss Lu Lin. Hello, I am Lu Chen's colleague. You can call me Helen."
Because of the special nature of their work, they rarely give their full names to others.
After the events of Death Note, this certain concealment proved to be very necessary.
"Hello, Chen... please take care of my brother."
Lu Lin came to her senses and answered unnaturally.
Helen also realized Lu Lin's nervousness, changed the subject, and invited: "Mr. Lu, please come with me."
Leng Yue had already parked the carriage and came to Lu Chen. They needed the former king to register.
A few people kept walking through Morning Embrace Square. Because Lu Lin was just an ordinary person, they didn't walk very fast. They walked for more than ten minutes before reaching the door of the main church.
At this time, a blond nun was standing in front of the door with a soft smile, "Miss Lu, please come with me to rest first."
Lu Lin glanced at her brother and saw Lu Chen nodding before leaving with him, knowing that some of the following matters might involve a confidentiality agreement.
"Do we need to see His Holiness the Pope?"
Lu Chen asked. In fact, he was quite curious about the only two divine envoy-level experts in the Morning Embrace Church, and wanted to see what their level was.
