"It's him?" The old man was surprised: "Does Richelieu's disappearance have anything to do with him?"
"This isn't something you should know." The black robed man's voice was cold: "What did they say in today's meeting? What are they going to do? Will they contact the inner wall? "
The old man frowned: "Our Knight's Hall has always adhered to the principle of fairness and justice. Although this matter is a bit strange but they wouldn't contact the inner wall to intervene in the affairs of the outer wall. This would disrupt the structure of the outer wall. They are only looking for Richelieu and ask him about the situation. I think they suspect that Richelieu is dead or has been kidnapped."
"Oh …" The black robed man chuckled.
The old man's face turned gloomy: "What do you mean by 'oh'?"
"I mean I didn't think that the thoughts of the old guys in the Knight's Hall would have been predicted by the Lord." The black robed man chuckled: "If you contact the forces of the inner wall then you might be able to pick up a bargain. Unfortunately you missed such a good opportunity. It's no wonder that the Knight's Hall is declining day by day. In today's era, who would abide by the so-called chivalry except for those civilians who have no way to climb up?"
The old man's expression changed slightly. His eyes flickered as he said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell them about this?"
"Do you dare?" The black robed man smiled as he looked at the old man.
The old man looked at him: "I'm cooperating with you because I'm grateful to you. Why wouldn't I dare if it's about the life and death of countless people in the outer wall?"
"Then you can try." The black robed man didn't care about the old man's angry expression: "Don't forget what you've done. Your family, your children, grandchildren and all your friends will be burned at the stake if it's exposed. There are more than one legendary knight who colluded with the dark church. You know better than me what happened to them."
The old man clenched his fists and said with a cold look in his eyes, "This is the last time I'll cooperate with you. From today onwards, I hope you won't come looking for me again. Even if you do, I won't cooperate with you anymore! I can't sell my soul to the devil anymore. You devil disciples will go to hell after you die and be entangled by the Eternal Dark Chain for generations to come, never to be purified! "
"Eternal Dark Chain?" The black-robed man chuckled and said, "This is a fiction in the Holy Bible of the Light Church. We don't believe it. We only believe that darkness will never be extinguished. Only darkness is the most real world! Look at you knights, how hypocritical and pitiful! "
"You can insult me, but don't insult the pure glory of a knight!" The old man said angrily.
"If you don't want to expose yourself, you better keep your voice down."
The old man suppressed the anger in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Since you're here to talk, please leave immediately after you're done!"
The black-robed man smiled faintly and said, "Alright. You've talked for so long in the meeting. Is this all you've said?"
"There's one more thing." The old man said coldly, "They're preparing to investigate the background of the new pope, but I've taken care of this matter. You should know the background of this new pope, right? What's his background?"
"Nothing much. He's just a small apprentice knight." The black-robed man said calmly, "No background, no noble blood, and no power. To tell you the truth, this person is just a puppet supported by His Excellency. The real pope is His Excellency!"
The old man was stunned. His eyes were filled with intense shock. "Isn't he your chairman? Could … could it be that Richelieu has really been kidnapped by him? How did he manage to get his location? What is Richelieu thinking? "
The black-robed man smiled at him and said, "Are you questioning His Excellency?"
The old man's face slightly changed. He bowed his head and said, "No." Although he didn't have a good impression of the black-robed man but he didn't dare to offend His Excellency. His Excellency was able to subdue twelve elders of the dark church in one night. He couldn't afford to provoke him. Moreover, the Holy Church and the dark church in the outer wall would fall under the control of one person. In time to come, that person would completely dominate the outer wall!
He couldn't afford to offend such a person.
The black-robed man smiled, "You just said that you've done a good job. You've saved us a lot of trouble. I hope you can cover up the background of the new pope. Just cover it up for the time being. When the new pope ascends to the throne, we'll need you to show your support and add glory to the new pope. With your legendary knight medal and identity, as well as your past glory and authority, your support will definitely reduce the doubts!"
The old man was surprised: "I'll openly support him? Do you want to expose me? "
The black-robed man slightly waved his hand: "Don't get too excited. His Excellency said that you'll become the lord of the Knight's Hall soon after the new pope ascends to the throne. Isn't this your dream? You'll be the most respected knight in the outer wall! You'll be the existence that all the nobles' knights yearn for and pursue. You'll be a legend that they worship. Your name will be engraved in the history books. Don't you want such glory? "
The old man was stunned.
In fact, the black-robed man didn't need to say so many tempting words. He already knew what kind of glory it would be based on the condition of 'becoming the lord of the Knight's Hall'. This was the pursuit of all knights!
He calmed down after a moment: "Don't use your tempting words on me. Knight's glory is obtained by abiding by the knight's spirit. Not by betraying your comrades. You're the devil! You can't give me glory! You can only give me shame!" The black-robed man's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the old man with interest.
The black-robed man raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest. He clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, not bad. No wonder you're a legendary knight. You're really determined. However, this is not empty talk. It's the truth. It's also what that lord told me to tell you. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I don't think that lord has any reason to lie to you. After all, you have to do this unless you want everything you've done to be exposed. If that's the case, your Knight's Spirit and the Knight's Medal will be destroyed. Even the Knight's Hall won't allow someone like you to stay, right?"
The old man was startled.
Cold sweat oozed from his forehead as he clenched his fists: "You're ruthless!"
"It's good that you agree." The black-robed man got up: "I'll leave the matter of covering up the true identity of the new Pope to you. If there are other tasks I'll come back to convey to you. The situation is turbulent so don't stand on the wrong side. If you stand on the eliminated team then you'll be miserable …"
The old man snorted: "You don't need to talk too much."
"That's good! Haha!"
"Will the Holy Church be able to get past the matter of you suddenly replacing the Pope?" The old man stared at him: "Even if Richelieu agrees to abdicate but those cardinals won't be easy to deal with."
"You don't need to worry about that. We have launched the highest level plan – the Dark Moon plan." The black-robed man waved his hand: "Don't forget that the hotter the sun is the deeper the shadow is."
The old man was startled.
At the same time, an emergency meeting was held in the military headquarters of the western region. Many prominent generals had arrived. The replacement of the Holy Church's Pontiff was undoubtedly the biggest issue in the outer wall. For them, this was more serious than the barbarians invading the border!
