The Original Vampire

The atmosphere in the Knights Hall became subtle again.

Mrs. Grace's questioning can be said to have touched the crux of the problem.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that Cardinal Tournance could not murder a duke on his own accord, and that there must be Pope Gregory’s instructions behind this, but if this cannot be proved, the justice of the declaration of war in the north Sexuality will be greatly weakened.

Everything must pay attention to a "justifiable", especially at this critical moment.

Once the Pope denies all the guilt and puts all the blame on Turnance, and there is no strong evidence on the north side, the pressure of public opinion will all be concentrated on the north side in an instant.

At that time, even if the Saint Hilde family forcibly pulled the northern lords into the chariot, how could they convince the northern lords and other forces to win their support?

Marquis Garcia was obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem, frowned, and remained silent.

Colin smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Grace, there is someone more qualified to answer your question than us."

Mrs. Grace raised her brows and said, "Who?"

"Archbishop Adjani." Colin spit out a name with a smile, and then nodded to the guard at the door amid the astonished eyes of everyone.

Not long after, he saw Archbishop Adjani in a white priest's robe, walking slowly into the Knights Hall with the steps of Pingting and graceful.

Mrs. Grace suddenly thought of the remarks that the Archbishop of the North made in front of the Central Church of Winter City immediately after the incident, which caused an uproar. But now it seems that I am afraid it was premeditated!

But what Mrs. Grace couldn't understand was that the archbishop, who holds a high position in the church and is said to be the Pope's close confidant, suddenly defected to support the St. Hilde family under such circumstances?

Under the surprised and puzzled eyes of everyone, Adjani slowly came to the front of the stage and bowed to Colin and Marquis Garcia.

Marquis Garcia obviously did not expect this scene, and couldn't help looking at Colin with surprise, as if asking—

How many cards do you have left?

Colin coughed twice and asked Adjani in front of him, "Archbishop Adjani, please explain to the northern lords here about the murder of Duke Saint Hilde."

"Yes." Adjani responded, then turned around and faced the crowd, explaining how the Pope secretly performed magic on Vera's baptism, and how he arranged for Cardinal Turnance to come to Lin Winter City, the conspiracy of Vera and Colin is all told.

Her voice was soft and weak, but in the ears of the northern lords, it was like thunder on the ground.

The Archbishop of the North has defected!

Although I don't know how Colin moved Adjani to betray the Pope, her testimony can deal a fatal blow to the Pope!

"What Gregory has done is extremely disappointing to me, but in order not to let the glory of our Lord be tarnished by such false believers, I must stand up and expose his true face.

I hereby declare a clean break with Gregory and call on all true believers of our Lord to condemn Gregory together! "

Adjani's righteous and awe-inspiring voice echoed in the hall, causing all the northern lords to feel dizzy.

They suddenly realized with surprise that if there was Archbishop Adjani's testimony, the St. Hilde family would have the upper hand in public opinion, and they could also use this to win the support of the people under their rule.

In this way, the certainty of victory is immediately much greater.

However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.

Seeing Adjani turn around again, facing Ke Lin, she said respectfully:

"Respected guardian of the north, Count Angele, I am very sorry for what happened to Duke St. Hilde. I also have a certain responsibility for her misfortune. After all, I failed to stop Tournance in time..."

"Archbishop Adjani,

You don't have to blame yourself. Colin waved his hand and interrupted, "I understand your difficulty, and I also know that it is very difficult for you to stop the conspiracy of the Pope and the cardinals. "

"Thank you for your understanding." Adjani bowed her knees slightly and bowed, and then said, "In order to express my apology, to express my support for the Saint Hilde family, and to safeguard the glory of my lord, I hereby announce that I will donate all the tithes of the Northern Diocese for the coming year to the lords, in recognition of their efforts to maintain the glory of our Lord!"

wow——

As soon as these words came out, the lords in the hall couldn't help screaming.

"Thank you Archbishop Adjani for your generosity!" Colin solemnly thanked him, then swept across the audience with a smile, and said, "Everyone, don't forget to remind your tax officials that tithes for the next year will not be paid in It's gone!"

"Thank you Archbishop Adjani!"

"Thank you Archbishop! We will swear to protect the glory of our Lord!"

"That's right! False believers who tarnish our Lord's reputation must be punished!"

...

Now that there is a real temptation of interest, the lords can no longer hold back, and they all speak out.

Mrs. Grace watched all this silently, and couldn't help but admire her secretly.

She obviously understood that the rhythm of this lord meeting has always been firmly in the hands of Ke Lin, although she did not know how the guardian of the north, who had only risen for two years, made people such as Earl Uman, Earl Schultz, and even the big bosses in the North like Archbishop Adjani obey him, but there is no doubt that the current North is completely in the hands of this young Earl.

He is like a master doll master, taking interests as the thread, and manipulating everyone's every move.

These northern lords who have received the tithing "donated" by Archbishop Adjani will be completely bound to Colin's chariot, just like those nobles in the eastern realm...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Grace suddenly realized that the lords in the east who had deeply offended the church would never miss this storm against the Pope.

And what about the royal family?

Such an excellent opportunity to weaken theocracy, will they miss it?

Mrs. Grace's cloudy eyes flickered with a strange light, and she felt more and more that the chance of denounced Pope Gregory's action this time was great!

Perhaps this is an opportunity to completely change the political situation of the empire!

And what kind of prominence will this young guardian of the north climb to after this storm?

Madam Grace was agitated, and suddenly she was extremely wise about her previous behavior of making the Morrison family allegiance to Earl Angelie.

Perhaps, this is also an opportunity for the re-emergence of the Morrison family.

Just as Mrs. Grace was staring at the young and heroic figure on the stage, Colin had already drawn out his long sword, held it high in front of him, and said loudly:

"Faithful vassals of the Saint Hilde family, devout guardians of the Glory Lord, your courage and wisdom will shine on the entire North, and even the entire Empire!

Three days later, the Northern Allied Forces will set off, the target, Yulong City!

No one will stand in our way until the false believer Gregory is judged! "

"Judgment Gregory!"

"Judgment Gregory!"

"Judgment Gregory!"

...

With a loud roar resounding in the hall, the war machine in the north was officially started.
