Sean's curled lips quickly calmed down, but he furrowed his brows again.
"Gino, what are you doing?!"
After a stern shout, the chief knight walked in and closed the door behind him.
Although the two deacons behind him were trustworthy, it would be better if fewer people knew what was going to happen next.
After all, the Inquisition wasn't as simple as activating a spy to deal with a lot of heretics in the slums of the Lower Seventh Ring. The Inquisition required a more targeted setup.
For example, the pair of famous sisters.
And …
Sivalka the traitor!
The traitor must die!
It was the decision of the Inquisition!
However, it was impossible to sacrifice a 'spy' for this.
Even though it was related to the dignity of the God of War.
However, as more news came in, the higher-ups of the Inquisition made changes to their decision.
From the initial 'surveillance' to the current 'assassination'!
The Inquisition swiftly changed its order, and when he thought about Etorin's accidental death, the Knight felt a sense of anxiety in his heart.
He felt like something important was hiding in the dark.
However, he couldn't grasp it.
Therefore, he listed out everything that happened in Aïtantin Castle.
Then, he listed out several key figures.
Colipo, Ludus, Kurtzargert.
Kurt Horton, his father, and King Edward VI.
Edersen, Simon, and Corin.
Three groups, nine people.
Everything that happened recently was closely related to these nine people.
Of course, the last person, the Knight initially listed was Erin Sicar, the new lord of Sicar. However, after receiving the news from the palace, he changed it to Corin.
Likewise, the target of the Inquisition was also His Highness.
A good-for-nothing heir was completely different from a heir who grew up under the tutelage of a Demon Hunter.
The Knight Commander understood the change in the target of the Inquisition.
He had never thought that the Sixth Emperor would have hidden his son so well.
Recalling the unusual movements of the Aïtantin Royal Family during the Black Cataclysm, the Knight Chief really wanted to go to the palace and kill Aïtantin VI right away.
How dare they conspire with the demon hunters to deal with His Majesty?
More importantly, these blasphemers actually succeeded!
Damn it!
With the obsession in his heart, he told his thoughts to the higher-ups of the Inquisition, and then he was sent here.
The higher-ups of the Inquisition had assigned this task to him.
He was given a lot of authority.
At this moment, not only could he mobilize the Knight Squad in the cathedral, but he could also mobilize all the spies he knew.
However, the Knight Captain did not do so.
In his opinion, it was better not to make a big deal out of the assassination.
Therefore, he needed Gino.
A bright one that covered the spies' assassination.
With Gino as the bait, the spies would be able to play a bigger role. Besides, Gino was obviously bewitched by the heretics. Once he appeared, he would surely attract the heretics' attention, making him the perfect bait.
If it wasn't for that, why would he come here?
A weak-willed bastard like Gino would be the best ending for him.
The Knight Commander walked up to Gino with a disdainful killing intent in his heart, but his face looked like he was in pain.
"This is just a test!
Do you understand?
This is a test to see if you can handle things on your own! "
The disappointed voice made Gino look up blankly.
The young man's face was still filled with confusion.
The Knight Commander did not dodge the gaze, instead, he looked straight into Gino's eyes.
"What we are facing isn't just a monster baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, there are also tempting words.
As we move forward, the latter will be scarier than the former.
"It will make your body weak and your sword rusty."
As someone who is favored, everyone has to go through the test just now … and Gino, you failed. "
The Knight Commander sighed.
"Failed?
"I failed?"
That was a test just now? "
Gino muttered to himself. Then, as if he came back to life, he stood up abruptly and grabbed the Knight Commander's arm, shouting excitedly, "Captain Sean, give me another chance! Give me another chance! "
The strength of his hand and the excited words made the Knight Commander understand that the young man before him was still as naive and naive as ever.
A young man who had never seen the dark side of the world would never grow up.
Sean smiled in his heart when he thought of the famous saying from the Inquisition.
He didn't care whether he lied or not.
All he cared about was completing the mission.
As for the guilt?
It was the first time.
Then, he slowly got used to it and forgot about it.
What was there to remember about an orphan without any talents?
The thoughts in his heart made the Knight Commander calmer than ever.
"I can give you another chance!"
"Remember, this is your last chance!"
If you fail again … "
"You will lose everything."
The Knight Commander said in a serious tone.
"I understand."
Gino replied in a serious tone.
"Very well.
Follow me. "
The Knight Commander then turned around and walked out. He was very confident, but he didn't notice the moment he turned around, the serious young man's face turned gloomy.
"Same!
It's just like what that voice said!
I've been abandoned a long time ago!
If I wasn't needed … I would have been executed! "
Gino clenched his fists.
His nails dug deep into his flesh.
The pain spread, making him feel like he was suffocating, but he didn't stop.
Instead, he followed the Knight Commander out.
He.
He wanted to survive.
…
"Cough, cough, cough."
Bloody Mary, who was holding the ruby from the Aïtantin royal family, coughed softly.
It hadn't spoken in such a gloomy tone for a long time, especially in a place like the cathedral. It was really frightening. If it wasn't for its boss, it wouldn't have come here.
But …
"The restrictions on the God of War are much bigger than I thought!"
"The south?
Hey, the south! "
Bloody Mary thought of something and couldn't hold back the joy in its eyes.
The situation before its eyes finally turned from passive to active.
Next?
It was time for Bloody Mary to perform again.
Taking the initiative wasn't enough!
What its boss wanted was a complete victory!
It had to work hard for that!
Bloody Mary swiftly returned to the palace from the underground. Back in the small council hall, when Bloody Mary appeared, it had transformed into the king Aïtantin VI with a crown on his head. The king was tall, his eyes were shining, and his face that should've been old looked radiant.
When Bloody Mary pushed open the small council hall, the royal guards around the hall obviously noticed the changes in their king.
Everyone was overjoyed, no one was surprised.
A father who had been anticipating his son's return finally saw his son return. After a good rest, it would be strange if he wasn't radiant, right?
As for the sharper aura?
It was good news for the royal guards!
How many years had it been since they saw their king in such a state?!
It was great!
Feeling the emotions of the royal guardians, Bloody Mary nodded in its heart and asked directly.
"Where's Corin?"
"His Highness is heading to the Upper Seven Ring …"
The royal guards answered honestly.
Bloody Mary listened expressionlessly, and after the royal guardians finished, it gave its order.
"Tell Monte to come see me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The royal guards left in a hurry.
Five minutes later, Monte appeared in front of Bloody Mary.
"Your Majesty."
A Close Official bowed and greeted the king.
"What happened?"
Bloody Mary asked out of nowhere, but A Close Official knew what His Majesty was asking about.
What else was more important than His Highness at the moment?
"It's the people from Silent Night Secret Order. They unintentionally offended His Highness, so they wanted to have a peace talk to clear up the misunderstanding."
A Close Official reported honestly.
"Silent Night Secret Order?
They aren't that easy to talk to.
What happened in Aïtantin Castle last night after I went to bed? "
Bloody Mary asked.
"Etorin's tailor shop caught on fire, the old tailor died, and at the same time, the bodies of the Silent Night Secret Order members were found at the scene.
"Based on what we know, the old tailor was an armed priest. He was quite strong, so he should have perished together with the members of Silent Night Secret Society."
A Close Official bowed.
"Etorin, eh?
Hmph, Monte, some things aren't as simple as you think.
He isn't just a simple tailor or a spy. "
Bloody Mary chuckled.
Monte's body shuddered.
Not just a simple tailor or a spy?
He must have some other identity!
Of course, it wasn't important. What was important was that His Majesty would tell me all this.
He would never tell me all this in the past.
'Could it be because of … His Highness?'
The vassal was deep in thought and unconsciously looked at Bloody Mary.
"There are some things that you should know."
There are a lot of trivial matters that Corin needs your help with. "
Bloody Mary then turned around and returned to the small council hall.
Monte looked at Aïtantin VI's back with an excited face. He took a few deep breaths before he walked in.
The door was closed again.
The royal court guardians surrounded the place.
The secret agents were all over the place.
Everything was like an iron bucket, not even a fly could fly in.
Anyone who saw such a defense would subconsciously think of safety.
But often, the safest place was also the most dangerous place.
Because the people knew it was safe.
They would keep an eye on it.
They would pay attention to every movement in the place.
Almost 10 minutes later, the news of Monte entering the small council hall spread to the cathedral.
Chief Knight Sean, who was making the final preparations, frowned hard.
Monte wasn't an easily agitated person.
He was as cunning as a rat or a fox.
The reason why he was agitated was because of Etorin …
After some thought, he went straight to the prayer room in the cathedral.
As soon as he entered the prayer room, the Captain of the Knights cut his palm. Blood flowed out, and he pressed it to the side of the room, where the secret spell formation was hidden in the wood grain.
It was a communication method that could only be used during emergencies.
Sean had never used it before.
But this time, he thought it was time to use it.
"What is it?"
A cold voice sounded.
"I think there's something wrong with Etorin!"
Chief Knight replied in a firm tone.
