Chapter 8 Questioning
Qin Shaofu had a dream, dreaming that he was swimming in the sea, riding a big fish, churning in the waves, free and extremely comfortable. Until a huge shark appeared in front of him, and he opened his mouth in one mouthful, swallowing him one by one.
"ah!"
He screamed, sat up straight, and immediately screamed again.
At this time, he was lying on a wooden bed. Although he had been treated with bandages all over his body, his sternum fracture did not heal. This sudden action touched the wound, making him miserable.
After a while of recovery, a boy heard a creaking sound. He pushed open the door and stuck his head out. Seeing that he woke up, he immediately shouted in surprise: "I woke up, I woke up, that person woke up."
Then, even after jogging, it was time to inform someone.
But after a moment, as footsteps approached, an old man pushed the door open. The man was wearing a big red robe, with a thin face, his eyes were extremely vivid and very special. His pupils were yellow, and the proportion in his eyes was much larger than that of ordinary people. At first glance, he could hardly see the whites of his eyes.
Qin Shaofu immediately looked solemn, and he stood up with pain and saluted in a trembling voice: "I have met the Bishop!"
The Holy See is generally divided into two factions, one is a knight and the other is a monk. Because of religion, monks are said to be closer to the God of Light, so they have a higher status than knights of the same grade.
Only the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See is second only to the Pope and the highest level knight. For Qin Shaofu, it is simply a legendary existence, and naturally feels flattered.
"No need to be polite!"
The Archbishop of Cardinal said: "I am the first bishop Andrew. Your injuries are not light, but you are not hurt at all. After I helped you drive out Assad's remaining power, I only did what I should have. After all, natural recovery is better than forcibly using healing techniques."
There are four patriarchs under the Pope, but their positions are special. The Holy See that manages other principalities are actually the rank of the archbishop. There are twelve archbishops in the Bishop, sorted by age and qualifications.
Andrew is the first bishop, which means he is the oldest and oldest in Cardinal Archbishops.
"I understand!" Qin Shaofu nodded quickly: "Thank you, Lord Bishop."
He was also impressed in his heart that Jiang Yan was not only strong, but also a skilled person in his work, but actually imitated Assad's power to injure him, which was more convincing.
"We should thank you!"
Andrew nodded slightly: "The Magnolia Saint is fine. I heard her tell what happened at that time. You are a brave warrior with extraordinary courage and dare to stand up under such circumstances... But there are still some things that I want to ask you, how did Assad die?"
There is an indescribable sharpness in the seemingly kind eyes.
Qin Shaofu knew what he meant, so he hurriedly said, "I killed it."
Then he explained: "I thought I was dead at that time, but I didn't expect a passing Eastern warrior took action. The man was extremely powerful and could not distinguish between Assad. Later, when the two of them were in stalemate, they had no time to take care of him, so I took the opportunity to cut off Assad's head with a knife."
"The two are too strong, and I was injured like this when I was touched by the force."
"Oriental Warrior?" Andrew hurriedly asked: "Do you know his name?"
Qin Shaofu touched his head, frowned and thoughtful: "He said it, but because he was seriously injured, he was busy leaving, and I didn't hear clearly... It seemed like he was calling... Jiang Yan."
He deliberately imitated the accent of the Eastern languages of Westerners and said it vaguely.
"Jiang Yan!"
Andrew frowned, obviously he had never heard of this name, and had thought for a moment without an answer, and asked, "How is your physical condition? Because the Magnolia Saint was attacked, the Pope's Crown recalled some archbishops in the cardinal to discuss the matter. You are the party involved, and I want to invite you to attend... and express the thanks from the Holy See for you."
"It's not a big deal!" Qin Shaofu said hurriedly: "It's just that the sternum is a little painful, it doesn't matter."
The Holy See’s reward was when he made the request to become a knight, and he couldn’t wait.
"Put your clothes and follow me!"
Andrew nodded, and when Qin Shaofu got dressed, he took him out.
After passing through several corridors and entering a gate, we arrived at a huge stone hall. There were many people in the stone hall, most of which were warriors in armor, and some bishops and priests in black.
The center of the stone hall is a high platform, with a golden throne on it, which should be exclusive to the Pope. There are four seats next to it, so it must be an important figure in the Holy See.
There is a relatively gorgeous position near the center stone platform. On it are six archbishops in red robes, five of whom are covered with chicken skin and crane hair, with old men hanging down, but the aura of strong men invisibly emitted is breathless.
Another middle-aged man is a much younger man, but his eyebrows are like a knife and his eyes are like swords, and his sharpness is revealed.
Seeing Andrew come in, the man happened to say hello, but when he saw Qin Shaofu following him, he immediately asked in confusion: "Bissar Andrew, why do you want this oriental man to come in?"
In the eyes of Germans and Saxons, the Chinese and Chinese mixed-race descendants are all Oriental, not to mention these old stubborn people in the Holy See.
Andrew said as he walked, "He was the one who sent the saint back. Part of today's meeting was related to the attack on the saint, so I want to bring him here."
The middle-aged archbishop immediately emphasized: "But he is an Easterner! Unless he meets the Chinese envoy, there is no Easterner who can come here."
Andrew stopped and stared at him with brass-like eyes: "If you don't bring him here, where are you going to learn about the past? Or will you go to hold another meeting when it's over? Assad, a Saracenite, attacked the Saint, how much impact is there? Do I need to say more?"
"If he hadn't saved the Saint, the final consequence would be a sacred war, a sacred war without any suspense. All of us old bones would have to go to the battlefield. I wonder how many of the people behind you, and even the people of the gods in the world, can survive until the end of the war... Is that what you want to see?"
The middle-aged Archbishop of the Red Clothes immediately shouted: "We are not afraid of sacrifice for God, nor are we afraid of holy wars."
"Article Longkali!" Andrew said loudly: "The God of Light is kind and kind, and the light shines everywhere. He teaches us to create a peaceful world, not hell. God teaches us to learn to be grateful when eating a bite of food. It should not be your attitude towards the savior of the Saint."
"Savior?" Archbishop Longkali shook his head: "I don't think so. Although Assad is a demon destined to go to hell, we cannot help but admit his strength. Even if our Holy See, except for the Pope's Crown and Hadros, no one dares to say that he can defeat him, let alone kill him..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone laughing: "It's really worthy of Bishop Longkali!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a black robe walked in. This man was dressed very special. The style of his robe was exactly the same as that of the Archbishop in the Chronicle. The difference was that his robe was black on the outside and red on the inside.
Although he smiled at this moment, even Qin Shaofu could feel it, as if a cold current surged in from the door and instantly spread into the entire stone hall, making people unable to help but tighten their clothes.
"Bike Hudros, why did he come!"
"It seems that things are really big today!"
For a moment, many people began to whisper, as if they felt incredible because they saw this person.
Qin Shaofu didn't know the identity of this person, so he could only watch him walk past him, then walk directly to the four positions on the platform to sit down, and then close his eyes, as if he was not interested in getting involved in anything.
After glanced at Longkali, he continued, "How could he kill Assad if he can't defeat even us?"
"It was not me who killed it alone!" Qin Shaofu couldn't help but want to explain: "It was when he fought with others. I took the opportunity to sneak attack from behind and cut off his head with a knife..."
"That's it!" Longkali immediately interrupted him: "It's just that others defeated him. You just picked up a bargain at the end. What's the difference between your behavior and picking up Assad's head on the road?"
"If you want to talk about the saint's life-saving benefactor, you should be the one who really fought with Assad, not you at all. And you were still sneak attacking, not even the basic knight honor... Sorry, I forgot that you are not a knight at all, why should you come here?"
The other party spoke quickly and urgently, aggressively, which made Qin Shaofu feel excited and couldn't help but say loudly: "I never said that Assad was killed by me, at that time..."
"That's it!" Longkali rushed to say again: "Since Assad was not killed by you, you are not qualified to stand here as the saint's savior... You should go outside and wait."
"I……"
Qin Shaofu had never seen such a scene, and the other party was a archbishop in the middle of the neck. He was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Andrew on the side said, "Even if he is not a life-saving benefactor, he is still an insider."
Longkali shook his head: "If it's just an insider, then you should wait outside. When it's time to discuss this matter, the Pope's crown prince announced him so that he could wait at that position instead of following this path."
"The Magnolia Saint... Orientals are just trouble!"
As he spoke, he pointed in another direction, and there was a large gateway, with a row of black iron seats on one side of the doorway, surrounded by railings, which looked like the place where the prisoner was tried.
Qin Shaofu clenched his fists and blood was about to overflow. He was ready to be made difficult by others, but he never thought it would be such an insult.
"The Pope is here!"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the door, and everyone immediately stood up.
