“The missions have come.”

Salicardo looked towards the end of the night, everything was so obvious, penetrating the dark beam of light all the way to the dock of Old Turin.

Shermans also glanced at the dark night outside the window, his eyes full of sadness.

“The one at the head is Anthony Russo. Do you have any impression of him?” Salicardo asked. It is not difficult for him to get the list of missions. After all, he is also a distinguished Duke, and maybe even a few days later. To attend the welcome dinner.

“It’s him …”

Hearing the name, Shermans’ eyes changed color slightly, with some horror and melancholy.

“It looks like he left a deep impression on you.” Seeing the changes in Shermans, Salicardo noticed.

After Lawrence attacked the night, a new world unfolded in front of Salicardo’s eyes. The scavengers had washed away his memories of that night, but never thought that he would remember all this again in his nightmare in the future.

Old Turin is on the eve of the storm, and different forces are caught in this cold steel city. At this moment, the group consisting of Salicardo and Shermans is still hidden in the dark. Salicardo knows that once exposed, it will inevitably be attacked by the mysterious agency. In the liquidation, they tried to hide, watching the changes in the situation.

“He is a traitor. Anthony betrayed us, betrayed the sacred cardinal bishops, and turned to the new pope.”

Shermans slowly said.

“Anthony was originally from our side. Although he is not outstanding in the Knights of the Temple, in fact, with our assistance, he has secretly controlled a large part of his power.”

Salicardo listened quietly, without speaking.

“After the Night of Advent, Evangelion Church strength great injury, the old pope was also injured in that incident. Time is running out. After his death, we need to elect a new pope, but the situation in Seven Hills was chaotic. .”

Unlike other exiles, Shermans is very old. The things he has experienced for so many years have destroyed his will, power and desire are not what he expected, just like a stubborn old fogey, what he is doing now, Just to be unwilling to be a bit boring.

“Maybe this is the inferiority of human beings. Even the fear of faith and darkness can hardly contain its greedy growth. Originally, the next pope had two powerful candidates, one is Mikael old cardinal and the other is Medici old. cardinal.” Shermans said.

“The Medici who is in charge of wealth?”

“Lorenzo Medici, the great Lorenzo, he once led Florence to the golden age, but he came to an end because of his age.”

Shermans couldn’t help being in awe when he mentioned this great man.

“When I was a youngster, he was already a noble old cardinal. I thought he would become the pope, but he didn’t. What he did was more terrifying than I thought.” Shermans recalled the yellowed one. Years,

“Medici old cardinal did not become the pope, but he secretly supported several old cardinals to ascend the pope,” Shermans looked at Salicardo and explained to him, “As a pope, you have to break away from the world, and this will inevitably weaken its influence on the world. Rule, and the foundation of the Medici family is finance.”

“The Pope became the puppet of the Medici old cardinal. He ruled both faith and secularity, which has never existed in the history of the church.”

Although he didn’t understand Evangelion Church, Salicardo still sensed his horror from Shermans’ words, and he was a little confused.

“No one objected?”

“Of course,” Shermans laughed, “but when you object, the Medici family will easily bankrupt your family without a drop of blood, and support others to take your place. At that time, the whole Florence belonged to him. The supported pope wanted to resist, but was put under house arrest by him, propagating that the pope was bewitched by Demon.”

“He finally committed suicide in the bedroom. Medici old cardinal held a grand funeral for him, and then the next puppet took office. At that time, we realized that he was in full control and he did a good job. “

Shermans looked at the steel city outside the window, where the steam engine was born, and the roar of the factory completely defeated the faith.

“One of the main reasons why we were not wary of the steam engine at first was the Medici old cardinal. Although your steel torrent is terrifying, Florence has also entered the golden age under his leadership. He is a cold tyrant, defeated by gold. The enemy, then plundered all his assets, and the wealth poured into the church continuously, even the original opponents gradually turned to him.”

“Ki people always get old…”

Shermans sighed, the legendary life of Medici old cardinal, ended here.

“He is old. Medici old cardinal seems to be tired. He kept letting go of power in his later years. With his exit, the golden age ended. After losing him, we discovered how important he is.”

“His first half of his life had gold and prestige. The entire Florence was under his rule, managing faith and secularity, but in his later years he lay down all his weapons and turned to fund those artists. He was amiable, each The artists sang about his kindness and selflessness.”

Salicardo laughed when he heard it. Although he had never seen this legendary old cardinal, he still admired it sincerely.

“The first half of his life is like a tyrant, but the second half of his life is regarded as a saint.”

Shermans nodded, Salicardo’s words are very appropriate to describe Medici old cardinal, “Like a bloody thug, what he did in his later years may be an atonement.”

“After the Night of Advent, we need a new leader. Two people are admired by everyone, the new Mikael, and the old Medici old cardinal. In fact, everyone is more inclined to the Medici old cardinal. Hope This old lion can pull strongly against a crazy tide and lead us back to the golden age again,

But at that time we discovered that Medici old cardinal was dead. He died in the Night of Advent, silently. “

Shermans slowly said.

“No one noticed these things at all. In his later years, he was very simple and dismissed all his servants. There was almost no social interaction. Only one priest served by his side, and that priest died.”

“We checked the decomposing body. According to speculation, the Medici old cardinal died in the Night of Advent. The riot that night was not only in the Saint Naluo cathedral.”

“This…this is not the way he should die.”

Salicardo sighed that such a formidable person died in such obscurity in the end, in a secluded place, until someone looked for it and found out his rotting body.

“We don’t have time to find out the cause of his death. Without his competition, Mikael old cardinal was almost scheduled to be the new pope, but at this time the Saini Lortel appeared.”

Shermans’ voice was a little trembling, and it was the owner of the name, who forced them to the present situation.

“He became the final winner?” Salicardo remembered the name, now the name of the Pope.

“Saini Lortel, he suddenly appeared, holding the letter of appointment left by the previous pope…This thing is actually useless. Every pope is elected by the old cardinals, but everything changed with his appearance. Just like premeditated, the old cardinal who was originally on our side suddenly turned to him.

The whole situation became chaotic. His vote was equal to Mikael’s. We urgently investigated his identity, but the result was strange. “

Shermans had inexplicable confusion in his eyes, and he couldn’t understand these things even today.

“Saini Lortel appeared suddenly, but none of us knew that there was such a person next to the old pope. Those pastors who survived the Night of Advent had never seen him, but the information he gave clearly recorded all of his life… …It’s like…It’s like God’s Force is in control of this, suddenly inserting a non-existent person into the world and paving everything for him.”

He couldn’t figure it out, and Mikael old cardinal couldn’t figure it out, as if everything was doomed.

“Following what I said to you, Saini Lortel has more and more votes. We don’t want to lose here. In order to make Evangelion Church brilliant again, we even decided to use that dirty method.”

Shermans paused, took a deep breath and continued.

“Speaking of Anthony, Anthony was originally ours. He was our dark chess set in the Knights of the Templar. We originally wanted to use it to kill Saini Lortel. Everything went well. Until the beginning of the mission, he didn’t have it. Showing the slightest intention of betrayal.”

“We thought that night was our beginning, but we never thought it was the end. The Knights of the Temple had our list. They should have attacked Saint Naluo cathedral, but they appeared in front of us. We were unprepared, blood flowing. into a river.”

It was a nightmare night.

“We were almost annihilated. The only man who escaped from Seven Hills overnight. After that, Saini Lortel was directly promoted to Pope, and the rest of the old cardinal was under his orders.”

This is the cause and result of this group of exiles, Salicardo is one of their funders, these people also tried to counterattack the new pope.

“Anthony is a cunning guy. Although he looks cold and tough, he is very good at tactics. The new pope sent him here, and there is absolutely no good intentions.”

Salicardo nodded, silent, not knowing what he was thinking about, after a long time, he said slowly.

“Anything else? Those secrets related to you.”

In that constant nightmare, Salicardo repeatedly dreamed of all that terrifying, ordinary people may be afraid, but this business giant found a new desire in that constant fear, and the mysterious seemed to attract him. , Constantly pulling him.

Shermans shook his head, but he refused.

“Secret is also one of the benefits, you already know enough.”

“That means I need a better price to know those, right?” Salicardo was keenly aware of what he said with a slight smile.

“Make a bid, Shermans old cardinal, presumably this is what Mikael wants you to do, right, you now have nothing except the knowledge in your mind. You need money, manpower, and too many things. After all, you only rely on slogans. It’s impossible to fight back to Seven Hills.”

Salicardo’s gaze was like a jackal. He didn’t accept them for mercy, but for secrets. When those secrets were known to him, these exiles also lost their role. Shermans knew this, but could do nothing.

These exiles have been forced to the extreme by the cruel new pope, otherwise these noble people would not bow to Salicardo.

“Some secrets are taboo. I can’t be the master.” Shermans said, compared with Salicardo’s strength, he is like a dead tree about to die.

“Actually I’m tired.”

Shermans sighed and glanced at his robe, bright as blood.

“I wanted to quit since Night of Advent. I didn’t care about those power struggles. At that time, I could understand why Medici old cardinal chose to loose power.”

“What about you now? If you say so, you should acknowledge allegiance to the new pope.”

Salicardo looked at the sad Shermans. This guy was indeed very old, his skin wrinkled together like an old tree.

“No, this is the bottom line. I can accept these, but I can’t accept those new popes,” Shermans replied, “I am an old cardinal, no matter how you judge the right and wrong of Evangelion Church, I will always be it. A member of, and the new pope is different.”

Shermans opened his mouth to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he swallowed those words back, and he refused to reveal the key secret.

“At least I want to die with dignity, instead of accepting the mercy of that kind of person and living.”

He said again, the exhaustion of a stranger in his voice.

Salicardo looked at him, and Shermans looked at the end of the night, which was the direction of Seven Hills, and for a moment he seemed to see through all of the old man.

“You are different from Mikael, that guy just wants to be the pope, and you just want to die, right?” Salicardo said.

“Every cardinal bishop should be buried in Seven Hills, gathered with the other sacreds, and not die away.”

Shermans said stiffly, but this seemingly ridiculous stiff was the old man’s last insistence.

“I am different from them. I still believe in the ancient sacredness, and I am willing to spend my life defending it. Mikael and I come together only because of the seemingly same position.”

“I don’t care who is the pope, I just hope that the sacredness I believe in will not deteriorate.”

Shermans has a firm belief. Even if he falls to such a situation, he is still unwilling to get rid of the red robe. This is not power and status, but it represents his belief.

“Then why can’t the pope be Saini Lortel?” Salicardo asked.

“Because he is heresy.”

Shermans answered with anger, ironclad.

“Saini Lortel is heresy!”
