…
At the foot of Mount Shenglin, somewhere in the Holy Shield City.
Under the magnificent dome with intricate ceiling paintings is a clear pool of water. Tall stone pillars are arranged on the edge of the pool, supporting the huge dome. Outside the stone pillars is the azure sky. In the pool is a towering statue of the Holy Father. The statue holds its hands high, and pure spring water flows continuously from its hands. The spring water flows down from the hands of the Holy Father and the statue and falls into the pool. At the end of the water flow, in the pool, a figure is located in it, bathing in the spring water from above and praying.
Suddenly, a blurry figure gradually emerged beside the clear pool. After a while, a semi-transparent shadow named Evie appeared on the scene. He silently looked at the figure praying in the spring, and then spoke.
"Sir, the situation in Kankedar has already been dealt with with preliminary results."
Listening to Evie's words, the figure in the spring was startled for a moment, then ended its prayer posture, stood up in the spring and slowly walked out. After walking out of the spring, a mature woman's figure appeared. The thin white dress soaked in water stuck to her body, completely outlining her contour. Her wet blonde hair hung to her chest and waist, and a hint of realization emerged on her delicate face. Amanda walked towards Evie in the clean water pool.
"Oh, tell me about it. How are they going to deal with Mayor Robert and those old royals?" Amanda said as she walked towards the pool. Evie immediately responded after hearing it.
"Under the will of Kankedar... that is, the instructions of the powerful countries on the continent, the main responsibility for this incident was pushed onto Maad and some of the old royal family related to him, as well as Robert himself.
“They claimed that Maad and others bribed Robert with a large sum of money to let Robert help them carry out the conspiracy to assassinate Mazar and frame the special envoys. Robert was lured by the bribe without knowing that he had to do it. He accepted Maad’s bribe without consulting the Farah’s own government or communicating with representatives of other countries in Kankedar, and used it to help his conspiracy, deceiving his superiors and subordinates.
"Not long ago, the Farajo government called the Holy Land to express anger and condemnation for Robert's crime of being tempted by profit and violating principles, and to apologize and condole for the losses suffered by the Holy Church's special envoys. Before Farajo, telegrams from other countries had been sent to the Holy Land, and the content was roughly the same...
With her usual indifferent expression, Evie responded slowly, and Amanda, who was listening to Evie's words, had already walked to the edge of the water purification pool. Then the water marks on her body completely disappeared in an instant.
"Heh... the relationship was broken up so quickly. It seems that the mayor has been abandoned... But since they said they were sending condolences to the special envoys, then are there any specific expressions?"
Amanda spoke as they walked beside the water purification pool, and Evie, who was floating beside them, also spoke.
"Farajo and other countries said that they are willing to be more proactive in promoting the reconciliation and construction of disputes over the construction of new churches in the five free port cities of Kankedal in Inner and Northern Ukraine, and are willing to build them in the style of a cathedral. They can increase the number of personnel sent, and they are also willing to listen more to the opinions of the Holy Church in the election of the new mayor of Kankedal."
"Five free ports... this is a pretty big concession. Do they have any other demands?"
"Yes, Farah hopes that you can use your influence to get the Judicial Bureau to give them the right to judge Robert." Evie responded calmly to Amanda, and a look of understanding emerged on Amanda's face.
"It seems... they are also afraid that Robert will fall into Kramer's hands and be forced to confess something else, and then be blackmailed by Kramer after he catches him."
"It should be like this. When a person falls into the hands of the Inquisition, the final confession is often determined by the Inquisition. If a high-ranking official like Robert confesses that there is some heretical intelligence within the Farajo sphere of influence, they will have an excuse."
Evie then spoke to Amanda, who nodded in agreement.
"In this incident, we have managed to get a hold of Kramar's tail, so we can use this to put some pressure on him. But Farajo has to give us something else... How about this, if they can agree to let the rescue department use at least five Farajo naval bases unconditionally in the future, then I can try to save Robert..."
"Unconditional use rights of the five Farajo naval bases... I understand. I will respond to Farajo later."
"Well... then... what about Sister Vanya and the other members of the special envoy group?" Amanda continued to ask Evie, and Evie answered immediately.
"Sister Vanya has been under my protection and has not been harmed by the Inquisition. The other members of the Special Envoy have also been released. They showed signs of being tortured frequently. After almost three days of torture, they still couldn't let go. They are now receiving comprehensive treatment."
"She didn't make a false confession after three days of torture? That's commendable. I didn't expect that Hilbert actually arranged such elite guards for that little nun..." After listening to Evie's words, Amanda spoke with some surprise, and Evie responded affirmatively.
"Yes, they didn't make false confessions, which is indeed a bit unexpected for me. However, it also leaves me with a lot of things to do, and I haven't used my original coping methods yet." Evie continued, and after thinking for a moment, she continued.
"In addition, there is another point worth noting... the anti-divination that originally shrouded the special envoys and came from an unknown source lost its effectiveness after Robert was arrested. According to signs, this anti-divination may have come from Farajo. When they saw that the situation was irreversible, they revoked the anti-divination...
"After the anti-divination disappeared, Clifton, who sent the Inquisition, seemed unwilling to give up and demanded a public divination with notarization from all parties. I agreed to his request and summoned all parties concerned. On the Torch, he conducted divination on all members of the special envoys, including Sister Vanya, to see if there were any heresies of the Holy Church. The result was negative, and Sister Vanya and all members of the special envoys were completely cleared of suspicion. Now I have notified all dioceses to reincorporate their information into the anti-divination system at all levels of the Holy Church."
Evie said this to Amanda, and Amanda nodded slightly after listening to Evie's words.
"Completely cleared of suspicion? That's good... It's good that you're not a heretic..."
Amanda said slowly, but what she didn't know was that Vanya's current situation was not called heresy, but paganism.
