Chapter 609 32
After entering the carriage, the carriage rushed out of Honeysuckle Street, then entered Iron Cross Street, passed through the steel gate, and came to the backyard of the city.
During this half-hour ride, Fitzroy's carriage was surrounded by a crowded crowd.
In the past thousand years, he watched human civilization explode like a blowout.
They quickly occupied various continents at a speed that the lizardmen could not imagine.
Whether it is the freezing cold Arctic ice field or the scorching hot desert, there are their footprints.
Even though it has experienced a considerable degree of degeneration, humans are the only race in all civilizations on Earth that can rely on a strong numerical advantage to almost slaughter the Outer Gods.
The more you hide in the crowd, the more you can feel this sense of powerlessness from the depths of your bones.
Constantinople is particularly crowded recently because Mikhail III's birthday is coming soon.
In just a dozen days, all the wealthy merchants and nobles from all the kingdoms around Byzantium will flock to the city. This is a once-a-year opportunity for businessmen to make money.
If the operation is good, they can earn half a year's profit in the short 10 days of the king's birthday.
With all kinds of noisy thoughts echoing in his mind, the bachelor led Fitzro into the central area of the city.
In the past ten years, as the bachelor's pockets gradually became richer, the Royal Academy of Sciences began to annex a large number of streets in the city. Connect the streets into districts, and then renovate the districts uniformly.
After the Mohist disciples from Donglu entered the city, they integrated the skills of local architects, making the buildings in the city area very different from other areas.
The highest architectural skills representing the East Continent are wooden spires with a height of seven or eight floors.
By building wood into a unique structure, Donglu craftsmen can build a high tower building that will not fall for a thousand years simply by biting each other.
After entering the Western Continent, Roman architects used their understanding of steel and artificial stone, used wood and steel as the skeleton, and hung thin bricks and wooden boards outside to form a new architectural style.
The Romans called it the "Scholar's Spire".
This tower-like building shaped like corn can be built up to 7 floors. From a distance, it looks like a stone forest rising from the ground in a low city. The towers are connected by bridges, and the daily research and exchanges of the scholars all take place in these towers.
In this way, not only can more usable area be obtained in Constantinople, where every inch of land is valuable, but also it can be far away from the ground.
A certain degree of distance from the hustle and bustle of the world.
The carriage stopped at the bottom of a white spire, and hanging outside the spire was a spiral wooden staircase.
Follow the bachelor all the way to the top of the 6th floor tower, standing on the balcony and looking at the prosperous city at your feet as if it is suspended in mid-air.
"Here is the reception room of Chief Bachelor Hoffman."
The bachelor opened the door and made a gesture to invite him in.
Fitzroy extended his finger and tapped his forehead. After entering the spire, the door behind him closed.
The rising sun shone into the spire, illuminating a huge bookshelf in the room, which was full of ancient scrolls. As soon as you walked into the room, you could smell a smell similar to dry tobacco.
All the books were hand-painted on papyrus leaves, and they were all ancient artifacts.
"We are safe inside the spire."
"In order to ensure that the scholars' various studies are in absolute silence, the academy will not enter the study of senior scholars at will. After the death of Senator Gannicus, we can no longer use his mansion.
This study will become our new gathering place in the future."
The person who spoke was not the chief scholar Hoffman, but a low-key Roman scholar beside him.
It is not difficult to guess that this person is the leader among the few, the 'Lord of Disaster' Betuge. The biggest difference between him and other lords is that he does not reject a relatively simple life.
Not one day or one year, but since his birth, it has been like this for a long time.
This requires extremely terrible perseverance to accomplish.
There is only one of the 12 lords.
"Our plan did not bring down these two Tang Dynasty diplomats. To be honest, this is not beyond my expectations."
However, this time we did not gain nothing!
Through this sudden plot, we can at least get an important intelligence! Some people in the "Cardinals" of the Holy Church have begun to realize that our brothers are lurking inside the Holy Church!
Otherwise, the Holy Church and the Legalist School, which have nothing to do with each other, would not collude at all.
Fitzroy's face was gloomy, and the Arab face, which was originally quite dark, became even gloomier.
"Myra was exposed?"
After a long time, Fitzroy asked.
"I have changed my skin many times recently and entered the church to observe that he is still doing his work every day." Betuge replied, "It is hard to say whether he has been exposed or not, but what is certain is that the two sides have not progressed to the point where they need to tear each other apart."
"I have to admit that this time you joined forces with Myra to plot against the Bachelor of the Academy and it was a complete failure!"
"As early as half a year ago, I told you not to take risks and not to get involved in the disputes in the human world!
But you fantasized about higher positions and more power and did not listen to my advice."
"Look at what it has become now?!"
At this time, a total of 4 Illuminati masters gathered in Constantinople. They are the 'Lord of Disaster' Bertug who disguises himself as a bachelor, and the 'Lord of Twilight' Fitzro who disguises himself as an Arabian magician.
The 'Lord of Shadows' Myra lurks within the Holy Bishop Church, and the 'Unknown King' Kornley wears the human skin of the chief ancient civilization scholar 'Hoffmann Heinsili'.
Among the four, Ken Li had just received the order from the clan leader to enter the Western Continent, and the other three had been lurking here for a long time.
Among them, the one who has been hiding for the longest time is Myra, the "Lord of Shadows" who has been hiding inside the "Holy Bishop".
Before the rise of the Holy Episcopal Church, Myra recognized the potential of this emerging church before anyone else.
In the last more than a thousand years, he has used different disguises to climb to the position of cardinal almost single-handedly
A group of believers loyal to the Illuminati developed within the Holy Bishop's Church.
When they heard that the city was going to send bachelors to the Northern Continent, Fitzroy and Myra immediately joined forces to conspire.
If this group of 'heresies' who undermined the foundation of the Holy Bishop could be secretly captured in the Heretic Trial, the status of 'Lord of Shadows' Myra in the church would most likely be further enhanced.
Relying on him, 'Lord of Twilight' Fitzroy can also use his Styx priests to develop more 'customers'.
If not only the Roman nobles but also the Holy Bishop monks were to perform the reincarnation ceremony, within a few years they would become a behemoth above the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Bishop Church.
This completes the goal of controlling the entire Western Continent.
It's a pity that all this came to nothing with the sudden appearance of Loki.
“What is supposed to happen has happened, and there is no point in complaining.
Mohammed Harsh has returned, and following our investigation, the 'King of Paris' Loki has also returned to the imperial city of Paris. But the group of bachelors who entered the desert still haven't returned yet
The depths of the Black Desert have completely changed hands, and all members loyal to us have been slaughtered by Nefertiti. The top priority now is to find out why this group of maesters stayed for so long.
The Kroger brothers will continue to wear the human skin of Chief Maester Hoffman and wait for the return of these maesters in the city.
As for you and me, we have more important tasks.
Having been in the role of giving orders for a long time, the 'Lord of Disaster' Bertug has a natural leadership temperament in every move he makes. Even though he was one of the 12 sect masters, Fitzroy had no doubts about his orders.
He took notes carefully to make sure he didn't miss any details.
"According to the tip, the Legalist assassin who successfully assassinated the 'Lord of Twilight' Sardin appeared in Constantinople. She recently purchased a property in the Corner Ridge area.
To be honest, I don't think this information is true.
This is probably the bait thrown by those cunning Eastlanders!
The purpose is to draw out the powerful thugs in our hands. "
(If my prediction is correct, this should be a show directed by the two Legalist mentors)
After a long period of thinking, Bertug spoke again: "But I think we need to find out the details of this group of people."
He turned to look at Fitzroy
"I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Send a few capable subordinates to sneak into the Nicholson residence to find out their details. If you can send a lizard man brother to hide in human skin and observe them secretly."
"Once the target is confirmed, we will immediately arrange follow-up actions!"
