"Son!"
"Son!"
"Son!"
A team shouting slogans walked through the street in front of the window. They were men, women and several children. Without exception, they are residents of the New Roman city and supporters of Pope Paul. The sinking of natov Island proved the accuracy of Paul's divine metaphor with iron facts. Yesterday, Paul issued another divine metaphor. Now the residents and residents of frosa island are in a mess.
Even with Sauron's iron fist policy, there is a danger of order collapse on the island.
So now, Paul's supporters have multiplied, and more than 60% of the residents of Rome have become his believers. Most of them were civilians, but many nobles and officials joined them. They called Paul the son. Paul, sitting with these believers, has become a force that can not be despised in a short time, and has had an unprecedented impact on Sauron's prestige.
This winter is not cold, but because the upsurge of the son has a warming trend.
Jaffeidi, dressed in plain clothes, stood calmly in front of the window, watching groups of people shuttle like ants from the nearby streets, and then converge into a crowd to the grand square of the papal hall.
"Breakfast."
The door of the room was pushed open by a beautiful woman. The woman with long flaxen hair reflected yafeidi's thin figure in her green eyes, so a faint and imperceptible sadness passed through her eyes.
Yafeidi smiled and said, "Mina, it's cold. I'll take you and the children to buy some winter clothes later."
This is his wife, a gentle woman, who can always wrap his heart soaked in death and cold with his own tenderness after he returns from the war. For yafeidi, his wife Mina is more like his faith, so that he will not be lost in the disputes in this troubled world, and he can always keep a pure land in the depths of his heart.
Mina said gently, "there are enough clothes and food at home. If you don't mind, I want to give the surplus to the poor children in the suburbs. They are still so young and need more clothes to keep warm and food for the winter."
"Yes, if necessary, I'll go to the city to buy some more materials and send them."
Yafeidi took her hand. The soft and delicate palms had become calluses because she had to take care of the family's daily diet, which made yafeidi feel a slight pain in her heart. Mina was born in an inferior noble family, but she was more diligent and thrifty than other noble ladies. Yafeidi planned to hire several servants at home, but Mina stopped them.
So the wife of the head of the 11th army did all the housework by herself, and the saved expenses were exchanged for some materials every winter to give to the poor families in the suburbs to help them through the cold winter. She has never changed over the years. The only change is these hands.
When they came to the restaurant, two boys were playing and running around the table, and a girl sat skillfully in the chair. When she saw yafeidi, she showed a sweet smile, and then jumped down and jumped into yafeidi's arms like a butterfly.
"Annie, stop pestering dad and come to breakfast."
Sitting on one side of the table, Mina smiled and sliced a large piece of hot bread being taken out of the oven with a knife, and then divided it into several plates. With salad sauce and a cup of water, it is a breakfast for a family of five. As yafeidi, such breakfast can only be described as poor, but yafeidi doesn't care at all. It's a great happiness to be able to sit with his family and share breakfast.
Yafeidi took her little daughter Anne and sat on the chair. The two boys who were playing honestly sat back to their positions. When one of the younger children wanted to reach out for bread, he slapped his brother: "fool, pray before dinner."
Like many Catholic families, before each meal, they would thank God for the food and end their prayer with "amen", followed by a happy meal time. Watching the older son secretly put a piece of bread on his sister's plate, and then the second son whispered his opposition, yafeidi's face was filled with a smile.
Children are the future and the hope of the world.
Yafeidi hopes that the three children can support each other as they are now when they grow up in the future. Mina cut off a small piece of bread, put it in her mouth, looked at yafeidi and said, "is that ok? I heard that Lord Sauron convened all the leaders to attend the response meeting today because of his highness Paul. Are you really not going to go?"
"Lord Sauron won't want to see me." yafeidi smiled calmly. "It's better, and I'll have more time with you."
Although he was laughing, as his wife, Mina couldn't see the faint color of loss in yafeidi's eyes. She said, "it's not like you. Yafeidi, the head of the 11th army, is a man full of fighting spirit at all times."
"Fighting spirit?" yafeidi shook his head and said, "if the world doesn't need you anymore, what's the use of fighting spirit."
Mina hesitated for a moment and said, "since Lord Sauron doesn't intend to be important to you, why don't you go to his highness Paul to try. Didn't you say that his highness Paul contacted you privately the day before yesterday?"
Yafeidi's face was solemn and said, "Mina, you must not mention it outside, you know?"
"I understand. I still know the importance of things."
"Well, that's good." yafeidi said with a bitter smile: "Your Highness Paul really wants to recruit me, but you can see that the Pope has torn his face with Lord Sauron, and there is no room for buffer and maneuver. Now I am still in Lord Sauron's system, and at most I am idle at home. But if you stand on the front of your highness Paul, if your highness can replace Lord Sauron, it's OK. If not, it doesn't matter what happens to me It will affect you. "
"Besides..." yafeidi said in a deep voice, "even if his highness Paul finally wins the power struggle, my life will not be very easy. After all, I still bear the mark of Lord Sauron. Even if I change to support his highness Paul, it will be difficult to be reused in the future."
"What a complicated look," Mina smiled.
"Politics is so complicated." yafidi shook her hand and said, "it's better to get out of it and stay with you than fall into the vortex of the struggle between the two factions. In this turbulent situation, even Rome will always be in danger, and your safety is more important than anything!"
Mina looked at her husband and knew that he had made a decision, so she stopped discussing the problem with him. The topic turned to the three children. Yafeidi talked and laughed, but her eyes were still silent. At this time, there was a knock at the door. Mina wanted to get up and open the door, but she pressed yafeidi.
"I'll come," he said, and then walked to the door. When he opened the door, there stood a man in a cloak. He slipped a letter to yaphidi and went into a nearby alley.
Yafeidi opened the envelope and pulled out a note from it. It said.
My best friend, please forgive me for not being able to meet you directly. But I still have to remind you that Lord Sauron already knows about your private meeting with his highness Paul. Fortunately, you have been at home these days, so he hasn't aroused too much resentment. However, he has always been suspicious, and now he has a lot of trouble with his highness Paul.
My friend, I have a hunch that Lord Sauron will be bad for you. So at today's response meeting, I will strongly advocate that you be removed from the post of commander of your army and that adults deprive you of your meritorious deeds. In this way, you will be no different from civilians. At that time, I will arrange for you, Mina and the children to leave the city.
Rome has become a land of right and wrong. It's useless to stay more. Although I don't know when I can meet you in the future, no matter where you go, don't forget to have my friend!
Sinie.
There is a family seal of Sinie at the signature. Judging from the seal pattern, it is not a disguise, so this letter is naturally written by Sinie.
Yafeidi sighed and knew that the storm he was worried about was finally coming.
"What's the matter?" Mina heard his sigh and came over and asked.
Yafeidi handed her the letter. Mina's face changed sharply and her body trembled slightly. Yafeidi firmly held her hand and apologized: "it seems that we can't help the poor people in the suburbs this year. Mina, pack up after breakfast and we're ready to leave the city at any time."
"Do you have to do this?"
"I don't want to, but Sinie is right. Once Sauron knows about my meeting with his highness Paul, he will not let us go sooner or later."
Mina nodded, "well, I'll clean it up now."
Looking at his wife's back, yafeidi flashed a picture of zero in the sea. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "is this also the so-called fate?"
It was night, and there was a joyful laughter in the Pope's residence. The whole papal mansion was so bright that it was so dazzling in the dark night evolved by the holographic plate, and even the papal hall not far away covered up the past.
On an ambulatory covered with a scarlet carpet, Paul walked ahead with a smile. He was wearing a black and gold papal robe, with a bloody cloak behind him. A circle of white feathers around his neck increased his beauty, while the golden crown on his head made Paul a little more holy and solemn. The Pope holding the power battle was in high spirits, while the talking Knight behind him was close The guard witnessed him on his way to the peak of power.
Today, with the support of the believers, he delivered several more speeches, from theocracy to human rights, from people's livelihood to politics, all alluding to Sauron's dictatorship and provoking people's resentment for many years. In all his speeches, Paul did not obviously involve the words attacking Sauron. The subtlety of the words made it difficult for people to make an article of his speech. Even if Sauron got this speech, it would be difficult I can only jump up and down with anger, but I can't take him.
However, Paul did not forget to warn himself that he should not be too complacent. After all, Solon Jiwei has been working for many years, and his team and background are by no means comparable to himself now. Paul knows that he can have today's scenery, and there is nothing more. The perfect blow that made natov Island disappear gave him today's name of the son. Generally speaking, he has no real power in this position, and To really bring down Sauron, the name of the son alone is not enough!
But his knights and guards don't think so. They have followed Paul for many years and almost watched him grow up. Sauron has never paid attention to Paul, the Pope. In addition, their guards are no different from the guard of honor in other people's eyes. They are just decorations, not soldiers. But Paul's popularity has soared these days, even those who despised him before Their knights, seeing them now, had to make a detour with their heads down.
The Knight Commander kasapa stepped forward two steps, walked beside Paul and waved excitedly: "Your Highness, according to this, we will be able to make Solon's rebel bow down and become a minister in a short time."
Paul smiled, "do you really think so?"
"Isn't this an obvious thing?"
Paul suddenly looked cold, raised his hand and shouted, "shut up!"
The young Pope now had some dignity, and the once childish voice now became a little harsh, so the knights who were still discussing quieted down. Paul turned and whispered: "It seems that you are all happy too early. If Sauron was only a saint's son, he could threaten him. Then my father, who was called the Savior, would not be easily killed by him! Remember, we are only taking such a small step on the road of power struggle, not even a milestone. If Sauron doesn't come, it will be over It must be thunder. If you're as excited and careless as you were just now, you won't even know what's going on when you die! "
Casapa gasped, and Paul's words cleared his mind. He nodded solemnly and said, "we know, your highness, we were so complacent just now."
After being strict, Paul said softly, "remember the word of the Lord, my knights, keep a humble heart anytime and anywhere, so that you will be invincible!"
The knight's guard replied that they were no longer talking as loudly as before, but restrained their mood, straightened their waist and left behind Paul. Not long after they left, a man came out of an ambulatory on the left. Maple touched his chin and whispered, "soft and hard, hey, this boy really has a hand."
Then he said with a distressed face: "Hey, I didn't agree to this job if I knew it was so boring. A boring job like this should make Yelu stay naturally. A handsome man like me who stays in the papal palace as an unworthy protector is going to be moldy. Paul, such a big government doesn't even have a beautiful girl. Isn't he incompetent in that respect? What a pity, Young... "
A guard who seriously deviated from the topic began to maliciously speculate on some personal abilities of the young Pope. At this time, several faint figures appeared across the street in front of the papal palace.
They all wore hooded hoods, their faces were covered in the shadow of their hats, and only their chins were exposed. These people were like drunkards. Everyone leaned against the corner of the wall or squatted on the ground with wine bottles in their hands and laughed. The public security guard in the distance only frowned when he saw them. But they didn't get close to the public security, and the guard didn't bother to drive them away.
At this time, another drunkard from the back of the alley came and squatted down next to a thin man. The man lifted the brim of his hat and showed a ferocious face. A scar on his face crossed the middle of his nose. You can imagine what a thrilling knife it was. The man's eyes were shining and asked in a deep voice, "how's the situation?"
"There are three places in Minggang and five people in secret sentry..." said the drunkard drawing a simple map on the ground. Under the cover of others, the other five people came over and stared at the map. These people all have a strong breath and a gloomy feeling. They are all strong in the underground world. Everyone has seven levels of strength, and scar face is an eight level expert.
They were all outlaws from Thrawn's net, and some of Thrawn's inconvenient killings were left to them.
"Paul's bedroom is here, and his knight guard team is distributed around. There are ten of these people, but they are not much better than the guard. They are all strong guys." scar's face said with a cold smile: "Minggang is located at two front doors and one back door. While the secret Sentry is distributed around the residence, we can choose a breakthrough. Remember to move fast, and then..."
He spread out his palm. There were five pills in his palm: "after completing the task, one for each person. The toxicity is fierce and there will be no pain. After the completion, Lord Sauron will give your family a generous pension. I will personally supervise the distribution of this fund. You can rest assured."
One of them immediately took the poison and hid it in his false teeth. If he broke the medicine clothes when he needed it, he would die immediately. As a killer, these people had expected that there would be such a day, but no one hesitated. Soon, the pills on Dao scar's face had been divided, he made a gesture, and several people left the back of the lane immediately. Under the cover of his companions, the government guard didn't know the street There are few drunkards across the road.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was time for the guards on duty to change their guard. Several guards dressed as knights came to the change of guard. As soon as the handover was completed, they heard something falling on the ground behind the fence. One of the guards walked over and the other stayed in place. But at this time, a shadow quietly touched the back of the guard.
The guard in front approached and saw that it was a stone. He kicked the stone away angrily. As soon as he turned around, he saw a cloaked man standing up behind his companion. As soon as he was about to warn, his waist was cold, and a cold dagger had been inserted through the gap of his waist armor. At the same time, he saw that his companion was also cooked by people, and the killer's dagger was in his companion After his waist went in and out many times, his companion's eyes lost their magic color, and his own consciousness slipped into the darkness.
After the two guards were put down, Scarface made a gesture, and two killers dragged them into the grass to hide. Then a line of six people dived towards the government in the shadow through the exclusion of trees and statues. At the same time, Feng yawned, stood up lazily and said with a smile, "it seems that the mice can't help coming out of the gutter."
