Chapter 233 Not bad
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was a clergyman. However, unlike the other clergymen, this clergyman was wearing a white robe, a red flat hat, and had a tall and mighty stature, which was in sharp contrast to the other clergymen.
Feeling the gazes around him, the clergyman turned his head and looked. His cold, murderous eyes made some people look away quickly. The reason these people were so scared was that on the one hand, his eyes were like looking at a dead person, and on the other hand, they were afraid of his identity, because he was the leader of the most violent civil service agency in the French King's Office - the Chief Judge.
"Your Honor, tell me why you recommended him." The King of Pope's ears were a little sore from the sound of his voice just now, and then he asked him why he recommended this person. After all, in the past few decades, the Inquisition has been eliminating heretics everywhere, and this sudden intervention in politics really made him curious.
"Your Majesty..." The chief judge thought for a moment and then spoke slowly:
"Mozgus graduated from the seminary. His mentor gave him a very high evaluation of his faith. During the period from his graduation to now, he has personally or assisted the Knights in exterminating no less than a thousand cultists. In addition to having strong abilities, his behavior is very similar to that of Earl John. We should be able to get along well."
While the Chief Judge was making his statement to the King of France, the others were trying hard to find the Inquisitor named Mozgus in their minds.
"Mozgus...could he be the inquisitor called Blood Book?" A clergyman asked in a low voice to others around him, and when everyone heard it, they immediately whispered to each other.
In the Hall of the King of Law, if someone asks who Mozgus is, most people will probably say they don't know him, but if you ask Blood Book, most people can list several tortures he used on cultists, including but not limited to beheading, crushing, and digging out eyes. He is called Blood Book because he likes to use his heavy scripture to smash the heads of prisoners like a watermelon. From the perspective of the court, Mozgus is indeed a rare talent, but in the eyes of the clergy and citizens, it is best not to have anything to do with him in this life.
Among the representatives of the secular families, Fidelicor was also recalling this inexperienced but famous judge. Although he felt a little horrified about what Mozgus had done before, he agreed with it. In troubled times, severe punishments are needed. Now the clouds of the Hundred Years' War have not yet dissipated, and plague and famine are rampant. If there is no ruthless person to eliminate all those who rebel, then it would be nonsense to expect a short-term recovery, let alone development.
The purpose of his coming here on his own initiative was to prevent the secret plan hidden deep in the heart of the King of France from continuing to develop. Originally, he chose to contact other families to nominate a clergyman who was on good terms with them, but after carefully recalling the information about Mozgus, Fidelicor felt that this neutral clergyman was a good candidate.
"Extreme beliefs, no backing, no faction, too little experience... Isn't this exactly the right person I'm looking for?" Fidelicio thought to himself that this kind of person is often stubborn, and if something does not agree with his opinion, he will definitely not say anything good about John.
Just as he was thinking about this, the chief judge had finished his statement, and the King of France opened his mouth and asked everyone:
"Do you have any objections to the presiding judge's recommendation?"
The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at the King of France, waiting for his next words. If it was anyone else, they could still compete, but if it was Mozgus, forget it. They didn't want to compete with a madman. Just hearing his name was enough to make people tremble with fear.
So with everyone's unanimous agreement, the King of France appointed Mozgus as the representative of the King's Office to observe whether John was qualified to be a saint.
"What, send Mozgus to investigate me?"
Theodore's letter immediately alerted John, who was eating, sleeping and playing with the children, and he hurriedly summoned Pros to discuss the next welcoming work. Pros, who was summoned, was a little nervous when he heard that it was Mozgus who came to investigate. Although he had never lived in the French King's Hall, he had obviously heard of Mozgus's name.
"So should we prepare anything?" Pross asked John.
"That must be prepared..." John thought about countermeasures while wondering how to deal with this person.
"Wait a minute, he doesn't seem to be a false apostle yet." John suddenly thought of the key point. John was cautious about him before because he was afraid that he would run wild in his territory after losing his disciples. But if he was just an ordinary judge now, he wouldn't be afraid of him. Even if the judge was strong, could he defeat the army? Even if he was really convicted of heresy, it would be impossible to attack John's territory without the help of the King's Office.
Thinking of this, John wrote a letter to Theodore to collect evidence while beginning to prepare for the arrival of Mozgus.
Soon, John received a report from the southern border that a team of convoys from the direction wanted to enter the territory, and the leader was Mozgus. After learning about this, John summoned Pros and asked him to go to the border to welcome the other party.
"Why should I go?" Pros obviously didn't like this job, but at John's urging, he quickly took a carriage to the south, while John continued to stay in the Earl's Castle to make the final arrangements and plans.
Early the next morning, just as John got up, he received the news that Guard Pros had returned, and with him came the Inquisition carriage carrying Mozgus.
John immediately stood up and took out the telescope, and after drawing aside the curtains, he looked down. He saw Pros's carriage slowly driving into the castle, and behind him was a huge white armored carriage, and on the top of the carriage stood something like a wheel. John knew that this was the thing that Mozgus used to execute the executioner.
He quickly called the servant and told him:
"You ask the lady to stay upstairs with the child. They cannot come downstairs without my order."
After finishing speaking, John put on his clothes and walked outside accompanied by the guards. However, as soon as he went out, he found that a burly man in the uniform of the Inquisition got off the carriage and immediately walked towards him after seeing John.
"Hello, I'm Mozgus, the special envoy of the French King's Office. I'm here on the orders of the French King to investigate the matter of the living saint." Mozgus stretched out his hand to John and said as he walked over. At the same time, John looked at Mozgus, and saw a calm and slightly kind face hidden under the red hat brim. It was not the huge square face of a robot after he became an apostle.
When John glanced behind him and confirmed that his future disciples had not yet appeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, then shook Mozgus's rough hand and said:
"Nice to meet you. I'm John Hohenzollern."
