Warlock Royal Family

"Your Excellency the Archbishop of Habsburg, are you interested in the position of the Cardinal?"

After hearing this sudden question, Ladislaus immediately suspected that it was some kind of terrible conspiracy to throw out such a bait.

Last time, a handkerchief cost the life of Cardinal Colonna. If it is enlarged according to the scale, I really don't know what kind of ruinous plan this time is.

This way of speaking is not a dialogue between politicians at all, and although the Medici Cardinal tried his best to put on a condescending attitude, he actually couldn't restrain a very nervous and anxious mood.

But Ladislaus was tormented by him last time, and this time he was determined not to give him any trust, so he only regarded it as part of the trick.

"Forgive me, I'm late." Old Colonna suddenly appeared at the meeting place, "I went to inspect the barracks for the last time. I came late, you all go back to rest, and leave the Archbishop, Cardinal and I to talk alone talk."

Ladislaus nodded to his subordinates, indicating that they can leave. No matter what, it is impossible for old Colonna to join forces with his son-killing enemy to cheat a cheap son-in-law. Of course, if he wants to do that, in this military camp, no matter what There is no way to defend against it.

After Ladislaus' subordinates left, the guards brought by the old Colonna cleared a 100-meter-large circular space around the three of them, and the center of this circle was also the center of power.

"Look at this letter carefully." Old Colonna handed Susan's letter to Ladislaus.

The content of the letter was just as the old Colonna said at the meeting. Susan reported the death of Cardinal Sforza to the old Colonna. When reporting the recent legal work to the Pope Zhenxuan, he suffered a sudden heart attack due to long hours of work and fatigue. Although the Pope Zhenxuan gave emergency rescue, he still passed away unfortunately.

As far as the content is concerned, there is no suggestive content, at least Ladislaus can't see it at once, but since he came to Colonna and asked to "take a good look", there must be some mystery. \\..\\

Ladislaus read the letter several times. During this period, the Medici Cardinal and the old Colonna just stood quietly by the side, not only not urging, but even trying not to make a sound.

Is this a test of two old foxes against the latecomers?

If they fail to pass, it will undoubtedly lower their evaluation of themselves, so Ladislaus must concentrate on seeing the mystery in Susan's letter.

Strange, how is this not a system task?

'System Tasks'.

Suddenly Ladis Roosevelt went to his heart and "entered the Sistine Chapel again", and Cardinal Sforza died while reporting to work in the Sistine Chapel.

What is the connection between the two?

And the moment when this mission appeared was almost exactly the moment when Cardinal Sforza died.

Why is it so difficult and dangerous to go to the Sistine Chapel?

Ladislaus had a guess in his mind, but this guess was too terrifying and did not conform to the rules of the general internal game of the Hidden Church.

But there is no reasonable explanation other than this, "Does he dare to kill the dignified chief political officer?"

"Now you believe it, the last time I went to the Sistine Chapel, he wanted to kill me." After hearing what Ladislaus said, Cardinal Medici did not respond but said to Old Colonna, "Your son was killed, and it was all planned by him. I was only deceived by him, thinking that your son had really betrayed Anri, so I helped him. If I hadn't let Tony be at the gate of the Sistine Chapel Wait for me, I'm sure I won't be able to get out." It turned out that it was not a test, but a verification of what the old Colonna said to the Medici cardinal.

Old Colonna didn't answer him, he stared at Ladislaus and asked, "What's your reason for saying that, he also wanted to do something to you when you went to the Sistine Chapel?"

Ladislaus frowned tightly. System missions naturally couldn't be used as an explanation, so he had no choice but to respond: "No, he's going to kill me, how can I get out."

The old Colonna thought about it, and continued to ask questions: "But killing the cardinal in this way violates everyone's default rules. Isn't he afraid that we will attack him in groups?"

"What is he afraid of? Would Emperor Charles V turn against him at this time for a cardinal who has no foundation? Although Magistrate Sforza made several rulings in favor of the warlock royal family before his death, but this How can something be enough for the emperor to stand up for him at this time? The French army is mainly targeting the Habsburg family, so what is he afraid of if you are a local snake in Rome."

"No, he must have a last resort reason. His Majesty the Emperor must avenge his grievances. Even if he forbears for a while, he will definitely have an explanation. And don't forget that before we sent troops, two cardinals died in the Cardinals. He is a member of the small family, and he is not the opponent of the true pope." Ladislaus, who had been silent all this time, spoke again, and he had an extremely bad guess.

For the first time since the talks began, someone uttered the words 'Elected Pope' instead of addressing him as 'him' with a sense of fear.

"They are much weaker than Sforza, and Adrian can surprise them." Ladislaus believes that the cardinals who died recently all died in the hands of the true elect Pope.

"Could it be that he is using some kind of sorcery to absorb strength?" Old Colonna continued.

"It's possible." During the last meeting, the sense of danger emanating from Pope Zhenxuan's sleeve made him shudder when he recalled it again. There may indeed be a terrible weapon that can suck life, "just regardless Whether it is magic, he must have obtained Anri's permission."

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. Yes, if they dared to kill their colleagues in the Sistine Chapel, they must have Cyric's consent, or at least tacit approval.

But the silence is only for a moment, even if the dark power of Cyric is unpredictable, no matter what, mortals still have to work hard to survive.

"However, this time is an opportunity for you. The College of Cardinals has recently killed several people. If the cardinals of Spain and Austria jointly nominate you, the true pope may give you a red robe in order to ease the conflict." Medici The cardinal brought up the matter again.

"It's been hundreds of years, and it's been a long time since a member of the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire has become a member of the College of Cardinals." Although the old Colonna also hoped that there would be someone who could speak for him in the College of Cardinals, he still hesitated.

"As long as we support it together, there will be no problem." Medici Cardinal said firmly.

"I am terrified of such an honorable position as a cardinal. It would be a great honor for me to serve the emperor for the dark sun in the College of Cardinals." The global damage made Ladislaus slightly unhappy, but from a local point of view, who would not like to slap someone else and eat candy by himself, but there is one last question: "His Royal Highness Cardinal Medici, I just want to You know, I got the red robe, what do you want?"

"The kindness of the Habsburg family is all I want."

"The less you ask, the less I dare to cooperate with you." Although the warlock royal family is very powerful, the position of the cardinal is not so easy to get.

"Okay, okay, so I hope that I can play a more important role in maintaining the stability of the Europa continent and promoting the mission of Dark Ri Zihui."

His Royal Highness Medici, who is already a dignified cardinal, wants to play a greater role, he is really a devout follower of Anri.
