A month's time?
Perhaps it was because Luo Ya's expression was too solemn, or perhaps it was because Arvin himself had confidence in the Holy See, the middle-aged man added after this sentence.
"Well, I understand. Thank you for your help, President Arvin."
The middle-aged businessman responded to Luo Ya's gratitude with a smile. His amiable look made people like him even more. The black-haired young man shook his head and sighed at the wily old fox. At the same time, he felt a little relieved.
Nuo Aier was the princess of a country. If something happened to her, too many people would be implicated. It was almost impossible to hide it. Since the Sorofia Family said that nothing major happened to the Holy See, then the situation with Nuo Aier must still be under control.
Luo Ya had the system, so he did not suffer much in the aspect of bloodline. However, many ordinary Extraordinaries had to endure great risks and pain to upgrade their bloodline. Being bedridden for a month was already considered good. There was even the risk of failing the upgrade and losing their lives. m.
If it were someone else in this situation, Luo Ya would probably think it was normal to not see him for three months, let alone one month. After all, compared with the power brought by the golden bloodline, anything was possible. However, everything was different when this person was a blonde angel.
With a silent sigh, the black-haired young man entered the chamber of commerce to rest under the guidance of President Arvin. At the same time, he quietly waited for the arrival of the night.
With the royal family emblem ring, one could indeed meet John of the Holy See directly. However, if the operation was carried out secretly, it would naturally involve methods and methods.
In the Holy City, the entire Holy See and the various departments of the palace had dozens of different organizations. Some of them were well-known, while others were obscure. However, if Luo Ya wanted to meet John of the Holy See in secret, there was only one choice.
The inquisition, the headquarters of the judges. Most of the people in it were fierce, but they were also some of the most devout people because they were the warriors on the frontline of the battle against the cultists.
As part of the Church's regular army, the Inquisitors faced far more danger than the ordinary army of any country. Ordinary soldiers fought on the battlefield, but to the Inquisitors, they lived every moment of their lives on the battlefield.
The number of Inquisitors who died on the battlefield might not be more than the number of Inquisitors who were assassinated silently in their daily lives. This was the consensus of the Inquisition. Every year, there would be new Inquisitors who died outside of the battlefield due to carelessness. But even so, there would always be more Inquisitors.
Luo Ya had a very high respect for these warriors who had silently contributed in the darkness. Some of them had concealed their identities and were reclusive. Some of them had sinister and distorted faces because of the vicious curses. However, the nobility of the soul couldn't be limited by the physical body. In Luo Ya's eyes, they were all light. Only in such a place could he be assured to come.
The inquisition was an organization directly under the Holy See and was directly responsible to the Holy See. Moreover, the Inquisitors in the inquisition were all military personnel. The importance of military secrets far exceeded that of other departments. If Luo Ya was John of the Holy See, he would definitely instruct the people here to contact him.
The inquisition was different from other organizations of the Holy See. There was no one guarding the entrance. In other words, there were no visible guards at the entrance.
"Sir, please state your name, show me the relevant items that can prove your identity, and tell me the purpose of your visit."
The young man said as he took off his hood and took out the identification card that he had prepared in advance. As he expected, the Inquisitor at the entrance didn't show any surprise at Luo Ya's arrival. In fact, when Luo Ya heard his name, the Inquisitor let down his guard.
"Yes."
Today was different from the past. After winning the Challenger's Cup, Luo Ya's influence had skyrocketed. He had already become one of the representatives of the Holy Mestre Empire. His relationship with the royal family was also very close. It could be said that he was an upstart in the current era. And it was obvious that Luo Ya had already discovered them. If the young man spoke, even the Inquisitors who were used to seeing storms and waves wouldn't be able to continue monitoring him.
As time passed, the feeling of being watched by the young man gradually subsided. Not long after, the guard at the entrance returned and led Luo Ya into the depths of the inquisition. The two of them passed through rooms and corridors one after the other, finally arriving at a dark room lit only by a lamp. In the depths of the room, a red-haired man calmly looked at Luo Ya with a serious expression.
"Thank you for your kindness, Count Hanks. Please forgive me for my sudden visit. I have long heard of your great name, and it is my honor to meet you."
As the person in charge of an important position in the inquisition, although Hanks was one of the most important ministers of the Holy Mestre, he rarely appeared in public. In fact, this young man not only held a position in the Holy Mestre, but he was also a noble in the palace, and his title was a count.
In just a short sentence, Luo Ya let the suspicious head of the inquisition feel the full trust of the royal family of Hezicrete. Hanks, who noticed this, changed his attitude slightly. He stood up and shook hands with Luo Ya.
"… Yes, sir."
"Yes, it is a promise brought by a ring."
"I understand. Then, Lord Luo Ya, please come with me."
An hour later, Luo Ya secretly went to a familiar but unexpected place under Hanks' arrangement — the Palace of the Holy Mestre Empire.
If the meeting was in the headquarters of the Holy Mestre, then Hardedef would be the Holy See, and Luo Ya would be facing a secret official mission. But if the meeting was in the palace, then Hardedef would be the king and the head of the family of Hezicrete, and this meeting would be more of a private one.
The palace of St. Lorraine was well maintained this year. Legend said that the building, which had the same color as the feathers of angels, was as holy as ever in the winter night. The red-haired head of the inquisition, Hanks, led Luo Ya into the empty palace. The guards around them had obviously been replaced by members of the inquisition.
From the perspective of having a close relationship with the royal family, Hanks, as a noble in the palace, should be close to Luo Ya. But for more than an hour, Luo Ya felt that Hanks was observing him more, and even a little wary of him.
This word appeared in the youth's mind and he raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care too much. After all, skepticism was the judge's way of protecting themselves. If Hanks was so close to him that he couldn't wait to be sworn brothers, Roja would find it strange.
"I understand. Thank you for escorting me, Count."
After tidying up his appearance and signalling to the guard at the door, the golden and mahogany door finally opened slowly. Luo Ya strolled into the room, found a guest seat, and sat down. He looked at the exquisite decorations on the wall and waited attentively. Not long after, the door between the thrones opened, and a white-haired old man walked into the room.
"Well, child, it's just the two of us here. You don't have to be so polite."
"Grandpa Hardedef, we haven't seen each other for half a year. How are you?"
The old man and the young man, who had not seen each other for a long time, exchanged a few pleasantries. The atmosphere was like that of a child returning from school and a grandpa next door, and Luo Ya was filled with emotions.
Luo Ya cherished this kind of relationship between a senior and a junior. Looking at the smile on the old man's face, the black-haired young man finally felt a little more at ease.
With this thought in mind, Luo Ya reached out and took out a wooden box, placed the ring with the Heathcliff family crest on the table, and then smiled bitterly.
"Haha, originally, after you won the Challenger's Cup, I wanted to invite you here openly. But something happened halfway, so I had to reduce the attention on you and make you come here secretly. It's my fault that you, the hero who won glory for the Theocracy, didn't receive flowers and applause."
"Outsiders? Haha, that's not necessarily true. "
"In fact, it was also Her Royal Highness' order that I won the Challenger's Cup. But after returning to the country, I heard that Her Royal Highness hasn't shown up in public for a long time, and I couldn't contact her through letters. Grandpa Hardedef, may I ask what is the Nuo Aier …"
"Child, I know your concern. This is the reason why I asked you to come to the Holy Capital. Counting the days, Nuo Aier hasn't shown up in public for more than a month. It's inevitable that people are worried."
Sensing the seriousness in the old man's words, Luo Ya couldn't help but raise his own speculation. Unexpectedly, the Sanctum went silent.
"A bad premonition?"
The white-haired old man recalled the girl's situation and sighed. He looked at Luo Ya with a solemn expression and said.
"Nuo Aier is turning into an angel."
