The Original Vampire - Chapter 670
Colin looked past Cardinal Mensay and saw the corpses of Duke St. Landers and Archon Fred on the ground.
No need to ask, he can also guess what happened here just now.
Colin didn’t expect that the Duke of St. Landers would hand over such a weighty vote. Of course, maybe someone helped him make up his mind…
Thinking of this, Colin glanced at the Yaleger who was standing silently beside him.
However, now is not the time to ask questions, and Colin can only temporarily hide his doubts in his heart.
He is still very happy to accept the Southern Territory’s refuge. After all, he and the Saint Landes family have no grudges, and it is naturally good to have more help.
As long as the Duke of St. Landers stops thinking about the independence of the South and splits the empire.
“Duke Saint Landes, I want to talk to Cardinal Mensay privately. Please clean up the battlefield first and stabilize the situation in Dongquan Town.”
“Yes.” The Duke of St. Landers immediately took the order, and that humble gesture seemed to be facing the true master of the empire.
Wait until only Colin and Mensay are left on the promenade.
The cardinal’s Adam’s apple rolled hard, a slightly flattering smile appeared on his face, and he said:
“Count Angele, congratulations on your promotion to the sanctuary! The grace of the Supreme Lord is really everywhere…”
“Okay, Mensay, stop talking nonsense to me.” Colin interrupted coldly, “I just want to know one thing now, what happened to Marquis Garcia?”
Hearing this question, Cardinal Mensay was taken aback.
Obviously he didn’t expect Colin to ask this question.
It stands to reason that the news of Marquis Garcia’s death in the Cathedral of Holy Light has been blocked by the Pope.
And even if someone leaked the secret, it was impossible for it to reach Colin’s ears so quickly.
“Marquis Garcia… Of course, he has been cleared of his previous charges, and is now being worshipped as a hero by the people of the empire!” Mensay still had a trace of fantasy.
But Colin smiled coldly, pointed to the corpse of Archon Fred, and said:
“Cardinal Mensay, since this orc team that suddenly appeared tonight can kill Archon Fred and Prince Leahy, it can kill you as well. So, don’t perfunctory me with lies.”
Mensay gave up his fantasy at this time, and realized that Colin really knew that something happened to Marquis Garcia.
Moreover, he also knew that the other party would definitely dare to attack him.
After all, even Prince Leahy is dead…
Although it was really hard for him to believe that Colin actually killed a paladin, the fact was in front of him, and he couldn’t help but believe it.
“Count Angele, please listen to me, no matter where you heard the news about Marquis Garcia, I can assure you with my life and honor that the Church has never harmed Marquis Garcia!” Said in a sincere tone.
“Harm?” Colin’s face became more gloomy, “So Marquis Garcia is dead?”
Only then did Mensay realize that Colin should have just heard some rumors, but at this time he didn’t dare to lie any more, so he nodded cautiously and defended:
“Yes, but please believe me, Marquis Garcia committed suicide…”
“Suicide?” Colin’s tone was icy cold. “Why did Marquis Garcia commit suicide? And, if this is the case, why is your church so guilty?”
“Lord Count, please listen to my explanation.” Mensay quickly explained, “On the day when the news of the victory of the Battle of the Loire Valley reached Royal Dragon City, Marquis Garcia came to the Cathedral of Light to attend Mass, and after the end, he asked Pope Gregory Gao Rui helped him make a confession.
But in the middle of the confession, Marquis Garcia suddenly vomited blood, fell to the ground and died…
In the confession room at that time, only Pope Gregory was present, which is the real reason why we feel so guilty.
This can’t be explained at all! “Gu Jin
Colin looked fixedly into Cardinal Mensay’s eyes, as if to discern whether he was lying or not.
Mensay looked calm and said again:
“Lord Count, think about it carefully, if the church really wanted to kill Marquis Garcia, would it choose such a stupid method? With our power in Yulong City, there are countless ways to make Marquis Garcia silently. die.”
There’s nothing wrong with that.
Colin’s mind moved slightly.
Mensay was keenly aware of the change in Ke Lin’s mentality, and hurriedly persuaded again:
“Lord Count, this matter is obviously a conspiracy, the purpose is to divide the relationship between the North and the Church, you must not be fooled!”
Hearing this, Colin suddenly recalled that on the way to the Storm Fortress, he had tried every means to persuade Marquis Garcia not to assassinate Emperor Reinhardt, but Marquis Garcia, who had already been determined to die, did not listen at all.
However, just when he had nothing to do, Queen Midella easily made Marquis Garcia give up the assassination plan, turned around and returned to Royal Dragon City.
At that time, Colin couldn’t figure out how Queen Midella did it.
But now it seems that she never said that Marquis Garcia, who was tempted to die, gave up the plan of self-destruction, but just let him die in a different place and at a different time.
Having figured this out, Colin basically believed Cardinal Mensay’s words.
Marquis Garcia really committed suicide.
The Marquis of the North, who planned the battle of the Loire Valley, could not bear the guilt in his heart after all.
Those people in the West who died at the hands of the orcs because of his strategy made it impossible for him to survive.
Victory has a price.
But some costs are tolerable and even laudable, such as the imperial soldiers who died in the Loire Valley.
But some costs cannot be tolerated, such as those civilians who are not willing to sacrifice themselves, they are innocent.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that Mr. Ho, who tried to sacrifice the Storm Fortress, be considered an imperial hero?
Colin had also had some psychological struggles, and Marquis Garcia’s approach was indeed inappropriate in his opinion.
But at this moment, he finally realized that Marquis Garcia was different from Mr.
Mr. Ho’s sacrifice is without any pressure in his heart, and is for his own purpose.
But Marquis Garcia believes that when he made a decision, he experienced a painful psychological struggle, and he has also decided to atone for his sins with death.
From beginning to end, he did not seek personal gain.
Of course, it is undeniable that when he decided to sacrifice the western border, Marquis Garcia’s personality was inevitably stained.
But it is such a stain that shows the extraordinary courage of Marquis Garcia.
A knight is not one who never makes mistakes.
It is not the hero who stands in the light.
Colin took a deep breath and finally made up his mind—
Although the death of Marquis Garcia has nothing to do with the Pope, he is still determined to “revenge” him!
Because this is the last hope he conveyed through death.
Colin certainly won’t let him down!
