Huh? Are they all real?.

It's not large, but it's very elegant and easy to defend.

Now, his men are watching every move inside and outside the manor.

Patriarch Glenn wasn't worried about the person who assassinated the Patriarch; he felt he was already on the other side.

Because the adults behind him were clearly very interested.

He was worried about the other two patriarchs, or rather, the other cardinals.

He noticed something was wrong last night.

The other two patriarchs are consolidating their own factions and gathering their respective vassal armies to garrison the city of Rodgrens.

At first, he thought it was because the other party was worried about an assassin attack.

But when his men reported that a patriarch's army had taken control of several of the city's main armories, and another patriarch's army had directly blocked the entrances and exits to the upper and lower city areas.

Furthermore, both sides strictly restricted their soldiers from interacting with each other.

He realized something was wrong.

This doesn't look like a defense against assassination or a city lockdown.

This is more like a readiness to seize Rodgerens by force and suppress the rest!

At the same time, after realizing this, he suddenly understood something else—they had finally broken ties with the cardinals from the other factions who suspected the assassins were from the other factions!

They had no evidence, but who else besides the other cardinals would be so crazy?

And they had all heard that the internal strife on Camelot's side was getting increasingly serious.

After the Knights of the Round Table, who had always upheld the so-called chivalrous spirit, were completely driven out of the Holy City.

The factional infighting in the Holy City of Camelot has become more and more intense each year.

As far as they knew, the papal faction, the First Cardinal faction, and the combined faction of the Second and Third Cardinals, among others, were all just waiting to be taken down.

So, who exactly killed the Patriarch?

Are conventional episcopal canons still effective?

This is a very interesting idea.

Even he realized that after considering this point, and then he realized that the person behind him would be willing to negotiate with the assassin, which meant that their faction was already planning to ignore the bishop's decree.

So, after realizing that there was already undercurrent of tension here, he hurriedly ran here to seek refuge.

He can only hope that the adults behind him will lend a helping hand as soon as possible.

He was parachuted in and had no prior experience.

If a real firefight were to break out now...

He has no way of raising an army.

After drinking what felt like the umpteenth pot of hot tea, the urge to urinate arose, and he couldn't help but stand up and beckon to the servant boy beside him, saying:

"come over!"

The page, whose handsome face made it impossible to tell whether he was a boy or a girl, immediately stepped forward and knelt before Patriarch Glenn.

He used his mouth as a chamber pot to relieve Patriarch Glenn's need to urinate.

After a pleasant jolt, Patriarch Glenn refused the boy's further advances.

He's not in the mood right now.

In case something really goes wrong, he doesn't want to die in a very unseemly place.

After the page boy withdrew, the guard outside knocked on the door and said:

"Patriarch, there's a guest outside who doesn't look like a nobleman. He says you know him because you sent him a letter inviting him. But we haven't seen that so-called invitation."

The last two sentences immediately made Patriarch Glenn raise his eyebrows. The assassin has arrived?

At the same time, a large floor-length mirror behind him also emitted a light blue light.

He knew that it was the powerful figure behind him who had called him.

After looking around at the doorway and in the full-length mirror.

Patriarch Glenn smiled with satisfaction:

"It seems we need to start taking real action!"

At that moment, he felt he had never been so close to the holy city that represented all that was good and powerful.

After tidying up my appearance.

Upon seeing the Holy Lance emblem behind him, Patriarch Glenn couldn't help but chuckle and bow slightly to him, saying:

"Thanks to Your Majesties!"

There is nothing better than serving under two supreme beings who are dead but alive.

This was his idea, and also the idea of ​​the entire Church of Storms.

Chapter 288 The Reversal of Primary and Secondary Roles! (3k)

Patriarch Glenn himself left the manor he used for his own survival.

After dispersing the guards who were on alert, Patriarch Glenn welcomed Moen into the manor with a smile on his face.

Inside his room.

Patriarch Glenn dismissed his guards, leaving only himself and Moen in the house.

The room's furnishings are exquisite, perfectly blending luxury and understated elegance.

It's an astonishing expense that only the upper class can discern.

Patriarch Glenn also took the opportunity to observe Moen's expression.

He wanted to use this to determine the other party's status on their side.

To his dismay, the other party did not respond at all.

He couldn't see anything at all.

He could only shrug and pull a bottle of wine from his cupboard, saying:

"While the wines from Maas City aren't particularly rare, the environment there is ideal for winemaking, resulting in excellent taste."

"Would you like to try this or something else?"

Moen glanced at him and said:

"I don't drink."

Patriarch Glenn laughed:

"Afraid I'll poison you? And then take your head to the Holy City to claim the reward?"

Moen smiled and looked at him, saying:

“My subordinate status prevents me from drinking alcohol, because His Holiness the Second Cardinal does not like to drink.”

As soon as Moen mentioned the second cardinal, Patriarch Glenn dropped the wine bottle in his hand.

As the bottle shattered, he screamed in alarm:

"Guards! Guards!"

This guy is one of the Second Cardinal's men. He's not here to negotiate; he's here to kill me!

That was Patriarch Glenn's only thought at that moment.

However, before the guards could actually rush in...

An impatient voice came from the full-length mirror, which he had deliberately covered with a layer of silk cloth:

"Shut up, you useless idiot!"

Upon recognizing the voice, Patriarch Glenn immediately covered his mouth tightly. Clearly, the fear instilled in him by the assassin was far less than that in the owner of the voice.

The white silk cloth that had been specially placed on the ground fell to the ground as the sound was made.

Only then did Moen recognize the owner of the voice.

He was wearing a deep red bishop's robe, a color reserved for cardinals.

He himself is very young, at least relatively young for his status.

He looks like he's only in his early forties.

This is the person Mohn is actually going to visit—Göring Lane, the sixteenth in line of the College of Cardinals, who is the last in line.

Moen sized up the other person, who in turn looked at Moen with great interest.

A moment later, Cardinal Göring asked Moen:

How did you know I was watching?

He knew perfectly well that Moen's words were just a response to his subordinate's words.

Glenn wanted to see the other person make a fool of themselves, but the other person made Glenn the fool of himself.

The skill gap is just too big.

Surprisingly, he was outshone right from the start.

This made Cardinal Göring begin to doubt what kind of useless people he had recruited as his subordinates.

As for why he was so certain, it was because he discovered that the other party knew he was watching from the very beginning.

Otherwise, the first thing the other person would see upon entering would be this covered full-length mirror.

Before Moen could answer, Cardinal Göring asked himself the following question:

"Do you recognize what this mirror is?"

Moen answered truthfully:

"No."

Göring became increasingly curious:

"Then how did you know I was watching? Don't tell me I was just imagining things."

Moen said directly:

"Because the cover made by your patriarch is a bit rudimentary. The full-length mirror in this position is obviously a commonly used one, but it's understandable that it's covered up."

"The most crucial point is that someone as afraid of death as him would actually send the guards away to meet with me, an outsider whom I still cannot trust, alone."

"The latter means that he was not the main character, because there was another important person of higher status who wanted to meet with me alone."

"The former basically means you're looking at me from across the mirror. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"

Goring gave Patriarch Glenn, who had finally come to his senses, an even more disdainful look.

Only after the other party bowed his head in embarrassment did he smile at Moen and say:

"Perfect, you've made me even more excited about the collaboration you mentioned. So, tell me, what do you want, and what can you give me?"

"You went to such great lengths to kill a high-ranking patriarch; you must have something much more to plan, right?"

Moen laughed:

"Actually, it didn't take much effort; we just killed them along the way."

These words made Patriarch Glenn loosen his collar, which seemed to be getting tighter and tighter, and also made Cardinal Göring pause for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Very good, very good, you're making me more and more excited, so hurry up and answer my question."

Moen countered with a question:

"Before I answer, I need you to explain why you are in such a hurry."

The smile on the other person's face froze slightly. After a moment, he composed himself and said to Moen:

"You really surprised me. Normally, shouldn't you seize this hard-won opportunity at a time like this?"

Moen raised his head and laughed:

“Normally, someone of your caliber wouldn’t approach me so casually, but you did.”
