Huh? Are they all real?
Chapter 288 The priority is reversed! (3k)
Patriarch Glenn personally walked out of the manor where he saved his life.
After dispersing the guards on guard, Patriarch Glenn welcomed Moon into the manor with a smile on his face.
In his room.
Patriarch Glenn dispersed his guards and only let himself and Moon stay in this house.
The furnishings in the room are very exquisite, full of the perfect fusion of luxury and low-key.
It is a kind of shocking expenditure that only the upper class can see.
Patriarch Glenn also took the opportunity to observe Moon's expression.
He wanted to use this to judge the other party's status on their side.
But what made him helpless was that the other party had no reaction.
He couldn't see anything at all.
He could only shrug and take out a bottle of wine from his cabinet and said:
"Although the top-grade wine of Mas City is not a very precious wine, the environment there is very suitable for winemaking, so the taste of this wine is very good."
"Do you want to try this or change it?"
Moen glanced at him and said:
"I don't drink."
Patriarch Glenn smiled and said:
"Are you afraid that I will poison you? Then take your head to the Holy City to claim the reward?"
Moen also smiled and looked at him and said:
"My subordinates told me not to drink because the second cardinal does not like to drink."
As the second cardinal was mentioned by Moen, the bottle in Patriarch Glenn's hand fell to the ground instantly.
As the bottle broke, he also screamed:
"Guard, guard!"
This guy is the second cardinal's man. He is not here to negotiate at all. He is here to kill me!
This is the only thought of Patriarch Glenn at the moment.
But before the guards really rushed in.
An impatient voice came from the floor-length mirror that he had covered with a layer of silk cloth:
"Shut up, you useless fool!"
Patriarch Glenn, who heard who the voice was, immediately covered his mouth tightly. It was obvious that the fear brought to him by the assassin was far less than that of the owner of the voice.
And the white silk cloth that was deliberately covered also fell to the ground as the voice was heard.
Only then did Moon see the owner of the voice.
He was wearing a crimson bishop's robe, which was a color that only cardinals could use.
He was very young, at least young relative to his status.
He looked just over forty years old.
This was the real person that Moon was going to visit this time - Golin Ryan, the last of the sixteenth in the College of Cardinals.
Moon looked at the other party, and the other party also looked at Moon with interest.
After a moment, Cardinal Golin asked Moon:
"How did you know I was watching?"
He knew very well that what Moon had just said was just a response to his subordinates' words.
Glenn wanted to see the other party laugh, but the other party made Glenn laugh.
The difference in level was really too big.
He was beaten as soon as they met.
This made Cardinal Goering start to wonder what kind of rubbish he had recruited as his subordinates.
As for why he was so sure, it was because he found that the other party knew he was watching from the beginning.
Otherwise, the other party would not have looked at the covered floor-to-ceiling mirror at the first glance when he came in.
Without waiting for Moon to answer, Cardinal Goering asked himself:
"Do you recognize what this mirror is?"
Moen answered truthfully:
"No."
Goering became more curious:
"Then how did you know I was looking at it? Don't tell me I'm being sentimental."
Moen said directly:
"Because the cover made by your Patriarch is a bit crude, the floor-length mirror placed in this position is obviously commonly used, but it is deliberately covered."
"The most important thing is that he is so afraid of death that he would send away the guards to meet with me, an outsider who is still untrustworthy, alone."
"The latter shows that he is not the protagonist, because there is another big man with a higher status than him who wants to meet me alone."
"And the former basically means that you are looking at me across the mirror. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Goering looked at Patriarch Glenn, who finally reacted, with more and more disdain.
After the other party bowed his head in shame, he smiled at Moon and said:
"Perfect, you make me look forward to the cooperation you mentioned even more. So, tell me, what do you want and what can you give me?"
"You went to such great lengths to kill a great patriarch, you must have a big plan, right?"
Moen smiled:
"In fact, it didn't take much trouble, I just killed him on the way."
This sentence made Patriarch Glenn loosen his collar, which seemed to be getting tighter and tighter, and also made Cardinal Goering stunned for a moment and laughed out loud.
"Very good, very good, you are making me look forward to you more and more, so please answer my question quickly."
Moen asked back:
"Before I answer, I need you to answer why you are so impatient."
The smile on the other person's face froze slightly, and after a moment, he put away all his expressions and said to Moon:
"You really surprised me, normally, shouldn't you seize this hard-won opportunity at this time?"
Moen raised his head and smiled:
"Normally, people of your level would never contact me so carelessly, but you did."
"So let me guess, in order to deal with the death of a patriarch and the vacated Rodgrens. I am afraid that one or even several cardinals will come directly from within your church."
"Then, you, Gorin Lane, the youngest cardinal of the Church of Storms in the past three thousand years. Everyone thinks that your future is promising, and they even think that you will be the Pope."
Goering spread his hands and said:
"So? This is something everyone knows. What do you want to say?"
Moen looked at him playfully and said:
"You are actually not the youngest cardinal in the past three thousand years. You are the youngest cardinal since the death of King Lionheart, because the cardinals who were younger than you before you just inherited the legacy from their father."
"You are the only one who truly made it on your own."
"This is a great honor, but also a great danger. Because before you, there are countless people who are better than you and have not achieved this step."
"Are they really not as good as you? No, they just know that playing slowly and steadily is the safest way, because the church has long been dominated by factions and bloodlines over the years. This kind of place does not allow outsiders to run too fast."
"Anyway, they can become immortals, and the waiting and efforts ahead are nothing compared to their long lives. So they are willing to trade their time for better things."
At this point, Goering felt as if Moen's eyes were piercing him, which made him feel uneasy that the situation was starting to get out of control.
And the voice of the other party continued:
"But you went up. You must have made enemies on all sides now. All you have is superficial glory. After all, you are in such an important place as Rodgrens."
"Although you have a person of your own, you are such a waste that you have been inserted into."
"It works, but just barely."
Among the three patriarchs, Patriarch Glenn, the only one without an army, instantly turned pale.
The other party's scolding was unpleasant, but he couldn't refute it.
Although Goering's expression remained unchanged.
But his slightly gloomy eyes also showed that Moen was absolutely right.
What surprised him even more was that the other party actually smiled at him and said:
"Let me guess again. When you came in, you must have clearly seen that you urgently need to change. It was at this time that a mysterious force actually assassinated Patriarch Rodgrens."
"And they even contacted you!"
"Mr. Cardinal Goering, you who were born into an ordinary church noble are able to reach this day. In addition to your powerful ability, you must have almost crazy courage."
"So, you must feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you have begun to make impatient arrangements, because you need to seize this opportunity to gain a foothold and even seize more!"
"If I'm not mistaken."
With his eyes full of smiles, Moen said to Goering with frost that was almost solidified:
"Have you already surrendered to a certain cardinal who has a very high position? You are really decisive. Although you are the last one, this is a situation that has never happened before. After all, the other cardinals are only alliances, not subordinates, because everyone It’s on par.”
Golin did not speak, his face remained calm, but his heart was filled with shock.
How could I be seen through?
Moen had changed from standing to sitting. He sat directly opposite the floor-to-ceiling mirror and said to Goering opposite:
"Rodgrens previously belonged to the first seat. People like you must have chosen him. After all, this is the choice that is closest to the Pope and the easiest one to lose sight of others due to this position."
"I don't know how many people you plan to come to your church, but the first seat must be there, right? Do you want us to kill him?"
"My answer is of course, I'd love to do it, it's just, what can you give us?"
As Moen's voice fell to the ground, Patriarch Glenn was completely stunned.
No, is this a reversal of subject and object? !
But Goering in the floor-to-ceiling mirror laughed, very sarcastically.
He looked at Moen with pity and said:
"Oh my God, your reasoning is so wonderful that it surprises me, but you are also really stupid. No, I should say you are confident. You are so confident that you can say it so firmly even if you are full of nonsense."
Before he could continue, Moen impatiently interrupted:
"Stop acting, it's too clownish."
Goering also said impatiently:
"You are the clown, sir."
Moen sighed, looked at him with the same pity and said:
"Cardinal Goering, why do you think we found you?"
Goering first smiled disdainfully, then slowly stood up with his eyes widened.
Moen sat opposite him and said coldly to him:
"Because we have been waiting here for you, the youngest cardinal in the history of the Church of Storms."
When Moen said the last half of the sentence with sarcasm.
The priorities between the two parties have truly been reversed.
The key to the holy city of Camelot has been completely obtained by Morn.
