Chapter 937: Get Out
Not long ago, the Templar chief Martina was ordered by the former Cardinal Ishtar to join Cardinal Olufi in the north and go to Frosacen, which led to the lack of high-end combat power of the Templar Order, and the entire branch of the Holy See became the dominant situation for the Vincent family. The Knights of Light also took over the duties of guarding the branch of the Holy See, which was supposed to be the responsibility of the Knights Templar.
Nicky regretted it at this time, he should never have looked at Vincent with old eyes, and despised him because the other party was a Knight of Light. It is only to blame that Vincent rose so quickly in the branch of the Holy See and was so low-key that his presence was often ignored within the Holy See.
In fact, the real reason is that even the Holy See is unwilling to admit that Vincent was raised by the Council of Light, for the believers of the real Lord of Light, those guys in the Council of Light are all spies planted into the Holy See by the Empire, in order to set up the divine right and the royal power is above the divine power, plus Vincent is from a humble background, so he is always not regarded by those Holy See personnel who claim to be truly holy.
Under Vincent's absolute force suppression, it was difficult for ordinary clergy to say anything in person, but when the news of the battle of Florsaken came back, the former Cardinal Ishtar stepped down, and Cardinal Swell's position was temporarily replaced.
"You see, I just came over from the corridor, and I didn't find the two people you were talking about. Vincent stretched his cloak back, blocking the two of Silent figures and showing Nicky the corridor behind him, "If you're not at ease, you can go and inspect it yourself." ”
"No, not necessarily. Nicky sneered, if he insisted on making his rounds, it would really tear his face. Even without the support of the Council of Light, Vincent's force alone would have been enough to occupy a place in the branch of the Holy See.
"Is it okay for me to leave, then?" asked Vincent, arrogantly.
"You please~" Nicky found himself blocked at the door of the corridor, scrambling to open a passageway.
"I'd suggest you take a closer look, after all, you'll only be relieved if you've examined it with your own eyes, won't you?" Vincent dropped a sentence as he used his wide cloak and Alfie's illusion to cover the two of them as they walked out of the corridor.
"Where, where. Nicky bowed down with a smile on his face and watched Vincent leave, his back almost wet with cold sweat. For a moment, he clearly felt the murderous aura from Vincent, if Vincent really burst out and killed, no one in the Holy See could stop him at present, and the Holy See would not risk losing a high-level combat power because of him as a priest to hold Vincent responsible.
Vincent snorted, and instead of continuing with Nicky, he walked towards the side door of the church. He had already noticed that the moment he stepped out of the corridor door, two little ghosts had gotten into the cape, just out of Nicky's sight, taking advantage of the gap in Nicky's passage. Otherwise, in the brightly lit Holy See, two shadows suddenly appeared, which was enough to arouse the suspicion of others.
Looking at Vincent's departing back, Nicky felt a pang of sadness, when did the Holy See, which had always advocated divine power, fall to the point where the military personnel were above the civilian personnel? All this is very similar to the situation before the start of the Great War of Nations-only when the state of combat readiness will the status of the military personnel rise, whether it is the Holy See or the Empire. Could it be ...... A terrible thought popped into Nicky's mind, but he didn't dare to think about it.
Nicky hurriedly glanced down the dimly lit corridor and let out a deep sigh......
Vincent quickly walked through the foyer of the church with his cloak around them, and only after walking out of the side door did he relax his heart a little. After St. Jessica's Cathedral closed at night, few people walked around the church, which allowed him to bring Celent and Alfie out safely.
Vincent could tell at a glance that Alfie's illusions were very low-level, and the reason why she was able to blind Nicky was largely due to the dim light and illusion effects of the corridor itself. The moment they stepped out of the corridor was actually the easiest time to be exposed, so Vincent was uncharacteristically strong, suppressing Nicky with his momentum, forcing Nicky to unconsciously avoid his edge, which created an opportunity for Celent and Alfie to hide in the wide cloak.
Thankfully, Vincent's efforts were not in vain, and as the Holy See had received the information, the bard was clever enough to perfectly match the opportunities he had created, and with Celant, he avoided Nicky's gaze - with Vincent's knowledge of Celant, that clever little gesture just now would never have been his idea.
After taking the two out of the Cathedral of St. Jessica, Vincent did not relax, looked around, and found that no one noticed this side, even the knights of light who were in charge of guarding him, after seeing him, they only saluted from a distance.
Vincent returned the salute and walked slowly towards his barracks as fast as he had done before. Vincent didn't expect to stay in the Imperial Capital for such a long time after coming to the Imperial Capital, so he didn't prepare a mansion worthy of his status, but lived in the headquarters of the Knights of Light.
After the Knights of Light took over the garrison of St. Jessica's Cathedral, the camp was stationed next to St. Jessica's Cathedral, so his barracks were no more than a hundred meters away from the side entrance of the church.
Normally, the distance of a hundred meters is short, but at this time it makes Vincent extremely nervous, he found that after staying away from the corridor, without the blessing of the illusion of the corridor itself, Alfie's illusion effect has been greatly reduced, except for making the figures of the two dim and blurred, there is almost no effect, completely relying on his wide cloak to cover their figures.
The most terrible thing is that after nightfall, the guards of the Knights of Light have become more stringent, all of which are the credit of Vincent himself, and it took him a lot of effort to make the military discipline of these loose Knights of Light tighter again.
Vincent is very aware of the strength of these Knights of Light, and if these guys are serious, Vincent is not absolutely sure that he will be able to cover Celant and Alfie from being discovered.
Fortunately, Vincent had accumulated a lot of power when he reorganized the Knights of Light, and those knights did not dare to leave their posts to greet him. Vincent was able to control his steps, pretending to be on patrol, and after skillfully avoiding several patrolling knights, he finally managed to lead the two to the door of his barracks.
