Colin smiled upon hearing this and said:
"Is your news a little too late?"
"You already know?" Ajani looked at Colin suspiciously.
Colin immediately realized that they were not talking about the same thing, and he smiled:
"I'm talking about Mr. Hooter who is going to kill me, who are you talking about?"
"Mr. Coquettish is going to kill you?" The astonishment on Adjani's face didn't seem to be fake.
Colin looked at Ajani quietly with a scrutiny gaze, as if she was telling whether she was lying.
Ajani thought about some information from Bailu City, as if she had understood something, and said:
"The fire in Bailu City should be a sacrifice ceremony prepared by Mr. Hood? Could it be that you destroyed it?"
Seeing that Adjani really didn't know Mr. Cougar's plan in Bailu City, Colin shook his head and said:
"No, before that, Mr. Hoodoo is going to kill me. Is this your attitude towards allies?"
Adjani frowned, and then shook her head: "Earl Anglia, I am me, Mr. Coquettish is Mr. Coquettish, our relationship is not as close as you think.
As for why Mr. Coquettish wanted to kill you... I guess it was because he felt threatened.
The North, the East, and the half-elf kingdoms, these are the territories that Mr. Wang considers to be in his pocket, but now they are all under your control. Perhaps, because of this, Mr. Wang has murdered you. .
However, you don't need to worry about me. I am not interested in secular power, and my identity cannot allow me to control secular power.
My goal is to clean up this decaying church, so that the glory of our Lord will not be covered in dust, and you want to suppress the power of the church in the realm of faith. At this point, we have a basis for cooperation. "
Colin folded his arms around his chest, leaning against the door frame, with a sarcasm smile on his face, and said:
"Well, Archbishop Adjani, we don't need to behave anymore and pretend to trust each other. The fact is, I have never trusted you, and you would not really see me as an ally.
This game ends here. As for your grand desire to clean up the church, let's rely on your own efforts. "
Adjani shook her head and said, "Master Earl, if you really don't trust me at all, why would you come to Blackthorn Village to meet me?"
Colin was silent for a moment.
Of course he would not tell Adjani that he thought this was a trap set by her and Mr. Cougar. He was going to use himself as a bait to try to siege a Paladin.
"I just dropped in." Colin said flatly, "Archbishop Ajani, do you know why I can't really trust you?"
"Why?"
"Because of the position.
You said that you want to clean up this decaying church, but the reason given is that you don't want the reputation of the Lord of Glory to be dusted?
Sorry, it's not that I don't believe that there are saints who sacrifice their lives in this world, but that such people are really very few.
In my eyes, most people are profit-driven creatures.
As the Archbishop of the Northern Territory, you are deeply trusted by the Pope, and your future is limitless. Therefore, I don't think you will do anything that harms the interests of the church, because you yourself are the beneficiaries of this church system. "
After listening to Colin's words, Ajani stopped her hand movement, and then slowly walked towards Colin.
At this moment, she had just taken off the earthy cotton-padded jacket outside, and only a piece of underwear that was as thin as a gauze remained on her body, and the perfect body curve was looming during walking.
"Deeply trusted by the Pope? The future is unlimited?" Ajani came to Colin with a mocking face, turned around, took off the last piece of underwear, and showed her naked back.
Colin was surprised when he saw Ajani's back—
That is a terrible back!
A series of ferocious welts covered the original smooth and white back with their teeth and claws, and these welts were old and new, criss-crossing. Obviously, they were not caused by a brutality, but were accumulated by years of abuse.
"I'm just a tool for him to vent." Ajani put on her underwear again, her eyes showed a flame of hatred, as if she was about to burn everything in the world.
Colin couldn't hide his shock, and asked: "This is Pope Gregory did it?"
Adjani nodded, gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, since I was brought back to church by him at the age of five, my nightmare has never ended!
Now you believe that I really want to destroy this **** church, right? "
Colin was silent.
The scar on Adjani's back could not be faked, but he did not expect that the seemingly beautiful Northern Archbishop would be so tortured secretly by the Pope.
At this time, Colin also noticed that this secret hideout specially created for herself by Ajani, although luxuriously decorated, revealed a gloomy and dark style everywhere.
The floor was covered with a white wool carpet, but it was embroidered with a large blue enchanting rose pattern. The flowers were so bright as if they were dripping with purple sap, they looked strange.
On the surrounding stone walls, beasts with hideous faces are drawn, with their teeth and claws dancing, fierce and ugly.
On the long table in the middle of the room, there is a ram skull-this is a symbol of the devil in the culture of the Glorious Empire!
But Adjani was at peace in such an environment, she was wearing a purple tunic dress on her body, and after hiding all the hideous and terrifying welt marks, she became the respected archbishop of the North.
The whole body exudes a holy breath, but it reveals a natural charm everywhere.
In an almost evil environment, coupled with such a strange woman, intertwined into a very dangerous charm.
The more Colin looked at it, the more he felt that UU Reading , the archbishop of the North who had been abused since childhood, might be a little abnormal in spirit...
"Earl Angley, don't you really want to know who is going to kill you?"
Colin came back to his senses and said, "Let's talk about it, what are you trying to tell me when you come to see me so hard?"
Adjani recounted the visit of Cardinal Turnans and the "miracles" that took place in the city of Bailu.
When she finished speaking, she found that the man in front of him gradually exuded a palpable atmosphere of terror.
"What the **** did Turnans do to Vera?" Colin's cold words seemed like a roar from hell.
Adjani was not surprised but rejoiced, and slowly stepped forward, saying:
"I don't know, but I'm sure it has something to do with the hands and feet that the pope secretly did when he baptized the duke. Moreover, I suspect that your wife is now planning to kill you!"
"Impossible!" Colin said coldly.
"If the Duke is sober, of course she won't, but her will can't fight the Pope's magic. In the history of the Glorious Empire, there have been many incomprehensible behaviors. In fact, it was the Pope who was in secret."
Hearing this, Colin suddenly remembered the story that Mrs. Grace told herself about the demise of the St. Chapman family.
Is the Saint Chapman who betrayed his family also caught the Pope's magic?
Ajani looked at the furious Colin, with a frantic smile on her face.
She took a step closer again, stretched out her hand to press on Colin's chest, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat, leaning in his ear, bewitched:
"I can feel your pain, your anger, and I am as painful and angry as you are.
Let us join hands to burn this sinful world to ashes! "
