Crown of Silence

Chapter 791 Amnesty

Holy City

Burgundy Embassy.

In a solemn atmosphere, even people coming in and out are rare, and the gates and interiors are guarded and heavily guarded.

After the meetings over the past few days, countless transactions and secret struggles, a meeting held for "peace" is finally coming to an end.

The most important part is about to be finalized, but it is not at the meeting, but in this Burgundy Embassy, ​​where the agents make the decision.

For a long time, countless people have been watching this seemingly ordinary embassy openly and secretly.

The end of the old era is finally coming to an end.

With the defeat of Asgard, the rise of Caucasus and Anglo is unstoppable. This is the result expected by everyone, but the rise of Burgundy is eye-catching.

No one expected that in addition to Caucasus and Anglo, the biggest beneficiary was His Majesty Don Juan, who had just ascended the throne for less than ten days.

In just eight or nine days, the Church and Burgundy have become inseparable. The College of Cardinals was unwilling to lose power in this way. At this moment, under the proposal and assistance secretly put forward by Burgundy, they hit it off immediately.

You have feelings, I have intentions, just like adulterers who meet and immediately become passionate. However, it is hard to say how much true feelings there are between the two parties under the surface of flying wings together.

Although there is a hidden danger of letting wolves into the house, Burgundy's risky move was finally carried out under Richelieu's hand.

With the full support of the College of Cardinals and the encouragement of the scattered soldiers and braves of other countries, Burgundy unified the old forces and, with the support of a huge momentum, joined the Caucasus and Anglia in this feast of division.

Anyone with a slightly keen political sense understands: After the bell rings at midnight today, the days of the Holy City's dominance will be completely over.

From now on, I'm afraid it will be a situation where three powers coexist...

At this moment, in the Burgundy Embassy, ​​the final negotiations have officially begun.

Under the witness of the three bishops who took the blame for the church, Wolf Whistle, Watson and Richelieu, who represented the three parties, have entered the most important stage.

After taking away more than half of the heavy industrial assets, the young man who has been secretly called a "dead cripple" by many people in recent days still refused to give in.

"Anglo still retains his original opinion." Watson said calmly: "The Holy City is a treasure of the whole world, and its books and assets should be jointly protected by all mankind."

Wolf Whistle smoked a cigarette and nodded in agreement: "Caucasus also thinks so."

After taking the initiative to take over the Great Library, Richelieu still smiled: "No problem, most of the technology can be transferred, but the specific details still need to be discussed."

In fact, Burgundy did not think of occupying all the technologies and books of the Holy City. In terms of discourse power and strength, Burgundy cannot be compared with Caucasus and Angelo who joined hands.

But the saying goes, "If you ask for a high price, you will pay back the low price."

Moreover, technology is something that can be digested after a round of rotation in your hands. At most, you can share it.

Now Richelieu is like controlling the library business. You can ask for whatever you want. At most, you can give as much as you want, and at least you can get some money.

Anyway, it is a business with no capital. Selling the Holy City will enrich yourself.

Just like Watson said, as long as you are willing to talk, there will always be profit.

After the tone was finalized, the three parties no longer wasted time. After handing over a note, naturally, the people below started to haggle in other places.

The next topic.

In the sad expressions of the three bishops who took the blame, Watson struck again.

"Mortals belong to mortals."

The young man in the wheelchair declared in an irrefutable manner: "The orthodoxy of Protestantism, the necessity and legitimacy of the Inquisition. They must be recognized in the new revised bill."

This is to dig up the roots of the Holy City.

Not only Protestantism, but also Caucasian Orthodoxy wants to take this ride. Although the Church would never admit Charles' identity as the Son of God, it had to make concessions in other areas.

If you want to complete the transfer of power in a harmonious and smooth transition, there will always be a few knives that you can't avoid.

And, as an additional condition.

Watson looked at the three cardinals and put forward a personal request from the hand of God: "The Holy City must immediately and unconditionally release Mr. Abraham, restore his reputation, compensate for all his losses, and recognize his great contribution to the Leshi Institute."

Compared with the previous ruthless butcher knife, this request can be said to be insignificant, but the expressions of the three bishops who took the blame became more and more miserable. They looked at each other and opened their mouths to speak, but they didn't know what to say.

In silence, Watson quietly finished a cigarette, and a hint of gloom emerged from his calm expression from the beginning to now: "Why? Is this not negotiable? I suggest that the cardinal will think about it carefully.

Before I become the representative of Anglo, I am first the secretary general of His Highness. If the Holy City does not even have the sincerity to meet this requirement, we don't need to waste time on the next thing..."

In an instant, the three bishops who took the blame all felt a sense of frustration.

A tiger in the plain is bullied by a dog, and a phoenix with feathers lost is worse than a chicken.

In the early years, how could an Anglo envoy dare to talk to me in this tone? Whether I am willing to give him face and meet him is another matter.

However, the situation is stronger than the person. If Watson just represented Angelus, then he now represents Ye Qingxuan, the founder of Protestantism, the Hand of God, and the Grand Inquisitor, making demands to the Holy City.

It's not a request, and there's nothing negotiable.

There were only two replies they could make.

Either let him go or not.

If it is the latter, they will have to face the wrath of His Highness the Calamity. Well, I am afraid that the Son of God in Caucasus will never give up.

Not to mention what Ciel will do after the news reaches the Caucasus, even the wolf whistle can make the three people walk around without food.

They looked at Richelieu as if asking for help.

But now Richelieu seems not to have seen it at all, and has completely thrown the private guarantee of joint progress into the gutter.

After a brief silence, the bishop in the middle gritted his teeth and spoke first.

"The Order is naturally willing to cooperate with His Excellency Hand of God's request, but in fact..."

He paused and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Mr. Abraham was secretly pardoned nine days ago. In fact, I don't know where he is now, so it is difficult to make a guarantee to you... Please...please give us a little more time."

Saying these words is almost like begging for mercy.

The last dignity of the Holy City had been trampled under his feet.

Even if he goes back, he won't be able to get better.

But even with such a low posture, it was still difficult to change the cold temperature in the conference room. In the almost frozen atmosphere, Watson put out his cigarette and raised his iron-gray eyes with cold pupils.

"Amnesty? During the meeting, the Holy City is under the unified management of all countries, and any decree must be approved by all countries... So, who issued the amnesty?"

Having said this, he could no longer conceal the traces of murderous intent.

As the heir trained by Stone and the former chief priest of the Hundred-Eyed Man, Watson can be called a ruthless person soaked in poisonous water. He is never afraid to speculate on other people with the most malicious thoughts.

What's more, now that the amnesty has been granted, where have the people gone?

I didn’t see you let it out!

Now he doesn't need to use his heels, he can figure it out with the clasps of his shoes: Someone is testing Ye Qingxuan's bottom line through this matter. No, he may even be holding Abraham hostage, trying to negotiate terms with His Highness the Hand of God without overestimating his capabilities. …

Watson bit his nails subconsciously, and when he grinned, his canine teeth closed together, revealing his animalistic ferocity.

really interesting.

Did the Inquisition run out of racks, or did the Hand of God go to Cathay and feel they had a gap to take advantage of?

So, should we contact Shi Dong, who is now in retirement? It is not good to eat too much and sleep all the time. The elderly should find something serious to do to stretch their muscles from time to time.

It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to clear out some of the troublesome guys in the Cardinals. Let’s find the first target first...

Just when Watson had already set the tone for this matter in his mind, he was thinking about which of the three people he was going to attack.

"Oh? I'm also very interested. Who issued the amnesty?"

The silent wolf whistle next to him also made a sound, looking at Richelieu thoughtfully.

In response, Richelieu shook his head bluntly: "This matter has nothing to do with Burgundy."

He didn't even leave any room to turn.

Just kidding, it’s too late to sever the relationship at this time, the sect is just playing with fire in private and getting angry. At this time, it’s stupid to accompany the sect to share the joys and sorrows!

At this juncture, if you don't pay attention, it will be a huge storm. If you mix it up again, Burgundy may suffer heavy losses. It is better to just accept it when it is good.

At this moment, facing the pressure exerted by both sides, the expressions of the three scapegoating bishops became increasingly bitter, and it took a long time before they responded.

"The person who issues the pardon... is the Holy See."

For a moment, silence came.

No one has ever thought that the person who issued the pardon for Abraham was the person least likely to pardon him in the world. Today, the Holy See, the Pope of the religious order, is still His Majesty the Red King of the Three Supreme Kings...

For the past few days, the Red King has seemed to have stayed out of the matter, allowing the various countries to divide the Holy City, and has not even opened the door to the Papal Palace. No one expected that he would issue an amnesty and release Abraham at this time.

This is completely inconsistent with his status. If he wants to interfere in the meeting, he will naturally have a lot of excuses and reasons. There is no need to choose such a method that may completely anger Ye Qingxuan and Xiaer.

So... what exactly does he want to do?

The silence didn't last long. Soon, Langdi's shoulders shook and there was a note in his hand.

After he unfolded the note, he felt like he was struck by thunder.

——The Red King took Abraham to the Caucasus.

For some reason, a strong uneasiness emerged from his heart.
