"Cardinal, are you sure you have enough authority to do this?" questioned Stowe. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You don't have to worry about this. Bishop Olufi said lightly, "But what if you don't pass the holy test?"
"Then it depends on what you want, Cardinal. Stowe slyly kicked the ball back.
"If you are unfortunate enough to fail the Holy Trial, then I ask the O'Brands to be investigated by the Inquisition. Bishop Olufi said.
"I'm very sorry, I'm afraid I can't do this in my capacity, you overestimate my status in the family. "And if you're here today to trouble the O'Brids, I'm afraid you're going to disappoint you." I don't have much to do with the O'Bright family anymore except for the title of a lord. ”
Stowe's obnoxious appearance made Bishop Olufi, who had accidentally said the wrong thing, want to break his handsome nose. Anger oblivied Bishop Olufi from noticing the meaning of Stowe's words.
"Then if you don't pass the Holy Test, go to the Inquisition and be investigated. Don't tell me you can't even be your own master. Bishop Olufi said viciously. This made Alfie shake her head quietly, the cardinal was really undignified.
"Of course I'm fine. Stowe thought to himself that there was no loophole in his body that would be caught, and readily agreed.
"Then swear by it. Bishop Olufi said urgently.
"Tsk, Lord Lord, you're going to be out of luck. Alfie whispered in Serent's ear.
"How do you know?" asked Celent, puzzled.
"Hehe, yesterday when I was singing a hymn to Bishop Olufi, Bishop Olufi cast a sacred spell, and I seemed to see something in his sacred spell, and among them was the picture of Lord Stowe's bad luck, exactly like at this moment. Alfie said proudly.
"But I think you must be hallucinating. Celent said, pointing to Bishop Olufi and Lord Stowe.
As he spoke, the Holy Test had begun for Bishop Olufi and Lord Stowe, who had completed their vows. Bishop Olufi cast several sacred spells such as "True Words", "Divine Trace", and "Divine Insight" on Lord Stowe, but no abnormal reaction appeared.
Martina and Dylan's faces began to sweat, could it be that Lord Stowe was really as "pure" as he himself said? Bishop Olufi can be said to have suppressed all the prestige of the Holy See, if no clues of the necromancer are found, the Holy See will really lose face, and will definitely be chased and beaten by the O'Bright family, and the already shaky Holy See is likely to collapse.
"Cardinal, it seems that you have made no new discoveries~" Stowe began to become arrogant when he saw that several of Bishop Olufi's divine magic had not worked.
"Don't get complacent too soon. 'Sacred retrospective'!" Bishop Olufi, who was cornered, had to come up with his last trick: sacred retrospective. This is a sacred spell with the same name as oracle, the difference is that oracle is used to predict the future, while divine retrospective is to go back to the past. Like the oracle, it is a continuous spell that, when successfully cast, recreates events that have occurred in the past for a period of time, going back to the divine power of the caster.
After Bishop Olufi cast this spell, images of Lord Stobe began to appear in front of everyone's eyes one after another. The speed of the picture rotation is very fast, and ordinary people only look at one or two pictures, and they feel dizzy and want to vomit. The surrounding townsfolk fainted almost the moment the spell was cast, and the surrounding knights of light were gritting their teeth and holding on, but they didn't dare to continue looking.
Alfie and Celent were not affected much because of their distance. In the ever-changing picture, they found a scene where they had treated Lord Stowe a month earlier, and then there was another scene that shocked the two of them: the necromancer Lucas, who had almost killed them, appeared in the picture and seemed to have had some communication with Lord Stowe. What surprised Celent the most was that the "Minoan Dictionary", which he thought was taken by Bishop Fren, actually fell into the hands of Lucas.
"Stop!" Bishop Olufi gasped and stopped the divine retrospective when he saw the image of the necromancer and the Stobe lord, this spell was still too reluctant for him now, but it was not in vain that the divine power finally allowed him to find evidence of the collusion between Stowe and the necromancer.
"Lord Stowe, how do you explain this?" asked Priest Dylan eagerly jumped out again, taking the place of Priest Olufei, who had exerted too much physical strength.
"This ......" Lord Stowe was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the Priest of Olufi would be able to successfully perform the Divine Trace, which was listed as one of the two secret techniques of the Holy See, which caught him off guard.
At this time, the old butler behind Lord Stowe sighed, stopped in front of Lord Stowe, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although everyone can now tell that it is a necromancer talking to Lord Stowe in the picture, I hope you will notice that Lord Stowe was in a very bad state at that time, and it is normal for people to not be able to distinguish the difference between a necromancer and an ordinary mage in that state. ”
"Yes, the old butler is right, the mage didn't cast any spells at the time, and I can't tell if he's a necromancer or not. Stowe secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately Bishop Olufei's divine retrospective can only trace the picture and not the sound, and even more glad that Bishop Olufei stopped the divine retrospective when he saw the picture of the necromancer, otherwise he would have traced it back to his possession of the skeleton warrior, it would really be intelligible.
"Are you fooling the people of our Holy See?" said Dylan Priest, pointing haughtily at Stowe and the old butler, "Knight Martina, quickly order these two heretics to be arrested. ”
Martina hesitated for a moment, but slowly drew her long sword: "Lord Stowe, I'm very sorry, I think the evidence just now is enough to prove that you have colluded with the necromancer, according to the Holy See Code and Imperial Decree, I now announce your arrest, and you will be judged fairly in the Inquisition!"
"A fair trial?in the Inquisition?are you challenging the lower IQ limit of all people?" Stowe sneered.
Martina sighed, "Stowe, stop struggling uselessly, you know you can't escape today." ”
"Why should I flee? Don't forget that this is the private domain of the O'Bright family! Is the Holy See powerful enough to capture the lord of the domain in the private domain of a noble and ancient family?" said Stowe, in a strong tone, knowing very well what he would encounter if he was caught in the Inquisition.
"Lord Stowe, you just said that you don't have anything to do with the O'Bright family anymore. Dylan reminded with a sinister smile.
"I don't have much to do with the O'Bright family anymore, but it's still O'Red family territory. Is it a sign that the Holy See is really going to break with the O'Brids?" Stowe said, drawing his sword.
"It's really touching, a lost dog doesn't forget to protect the interests of the family. Dylan said sarcastically, "Knight Martina, what are you waiting for?"
"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Necromancers are the public enemy of the entire continent of Eliad, and in order to deal with necromancers, both the Holy See Code and Imperial Decree stipulate that everything related to necromancers can be done cheaply. "Martina knows the law very well.
"Are you going to resist arrest?" said Priest Dylan, pointing to the sword drawn in Stowe's hand.
"Resist arrest, I'm calling it self-defense, you annoying fellow!" Stowe scolded, and among all the people, Dylan was the most unpleasant, and he looked like he was full of fat, and it was not a good thing at first glance.
"Put away your weapons, Stowee, don't bluff, can you still use the strength of an eighth-level swordsman now? Martina kindly persuaded her that she really didn't want to meet Stoe until she had to.
"You have to try it to know if you have the strength to know. Martina, don't think that now that you have level 9 strength, you can do whatever you want. Stowe said without showing any weakness.
"I really don't want to do anything with you if I could. Martina said with a sigh.
"If it's just a competition of force, then it's better not to do it. The old butler, who had been standing in front of Stowe, said suddenly, and then a terrifying power emanated from him.
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve! It's the breath of the twelve! Martina is almost suffocating, you must know that Cardinal Ishtar's strength is only just level twelve, who is this old butler?!
