Chapter 99:

Pope John woke up in the early morning of the next day, and the servant in charge of the vigil notified the others as soon as possible. The sky was only slightly lit, but Wei Wei and Felix had to get dressed and go downstairs to visit him.

In the guest room, the two bishops who lived on the first floor with Pope John came, and even Father Matthew was present.

The situation of Pope John who woke up was better than Wei Wei thought. Although he had some symptoms of dizziness and nausea, he was conscious and articulate clearly.

After asking him a few questions, Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "The situation is good, there are no other sequelae, take medicine on time and take more rest, and you will recover soon."

Pope John didn't open his mouth when he first woke up because of dizziness and nausea. The situation eased a little, and he slowly remembered what happened to him, and quickly asked what happened to Raymond.

"Master Raymond is still resting." Wei Wei briefly explained Raymond's situation.

Seeing that he was sane, Felix asked him how the lab exploded.

"I am also very puzzled." Pope John was also puzzled, their experiment today was not particularly dangerous, and it was not even the first time: "I have done it before, and this has never happened. Felix asked,"

Since it has been done before, have you told other people about the steps of the experiment? Or has someone helped you to complete this experiment?"

Pope John's head was still aching, but this did not prevent him from hearing the strangeness in Felix's words.

"Why do you ask that? What did you find?"

Felix didn't hide it either: "The three alchemists have checked the scene, anyway, the utensils you use have been added with substances that shouldn't be added, and the one who takes care of Master Raymond The valet found out that your entourage had sneaked into the laboratory during lunch and added something to the labware."

"Sean? Impossible!" Hearing his words, Pope John's first reaction was disbelief: "He serves me a lot. For years, he has been very loyal, never had any problems, and could not betray me."

"But the truth is probably not what you hoped." Felix regretted: "After he was found by the servant, he ran away immediately. Many people saw it at the time. If he had no problem, why did he run?"

Pope John is not able to accept this fact, he turned to Bishop Umberto, who nodded at him.

Pope John was silent, before saying, "You caught him?"

"Yes, caught." Felix said: "Although he refused to say anything, we found it in his fingernails. Some powder, the same thing that caused the explosion."

The name of the thing was too long and too confusing, and Felix forgot it after hearing it once, but he remembered the alchemists at that time a powdery substance that could dissolve in In water and other liquids, there is no explosion under normal circumstances, but when two specific substances are encountered, they will react violently. If too much is added, a big explosion will occur.

Of course not all alchemists know this, they do, because Pope John happened to tell them this at lunch at noon. It was a chemical reaction he discovered during his experiments, and no one else knew about it except them.

At first, Felix's people didn't find anything in the man's fingers, or after knowing what caused the explosion, he specially asked the other person's hand to check and found the same thing in his fingernails.

After listening to Pope John, he was silent for a moment again, and said sullenly: "I did have Sean help me when I was doing this experiment before..."

Not only that, when he found this reaction, he told it as an interesting thing. Sean, so the other party did know it a long time ago.

But he couldn't understand why the other party would betray him.

Suddenly betrayed by his cronies, Pope John, who was already uncomfortable, was in a worse mood at this time. He closed his eyes and let out a slight moan.

"His Majesty the Pope needs to rest, so let's not disturb him here." Knowing that he was not feeling well, Bishop Umberto took him to see him off.

Others also knew that it was not good to stay at this time, so Yiyan walked out of the room.

When the door was closed, Bishop Roberto, who had not spoken, suddenly said to Felix: "Your Excellency, since this matter was done by the church, it should be the church itself to interrogate, and please hand over the person to the church. Me."

The torches in the corridor had already been extinguished, only the candlestick held by the maid shone a faint light, and everyone's faces were half hidden in the darkness, and they couldn't see each other's expressions at all.

But Wei Wei's five senses are stronger than ordinary people, and her night vision ability is even better. When Bishop Roberto was talking, she looked at him. The bishop's expression is calm now, but Wei Wei noticed that he said this There was hardly a blink of an eye during the passage, and the same expression remained for too long.

Judging from her experience (watching the show), this means that he is not as calm as he seems, and even has a tendency to lie.

His question sounds very reasonable, the Pope's attendant is different from ordinary servants, just like the servants of nobles are likely to be nobles, like the Pope, his attendant is also a monk the last time, a full member of the church, when this happened, it is understandable that he requested a follow-up interrogation by the church.

In this case, Bishop Roberto still showed such a reaction. Wei Wei thought about it for a while and guessed that it might have something to do with him.

Felix said: "I'm afraid not. Although Sean is a member of the church, his actions seriously injured Master Raymond. We have the right to interrogate him."

Bishop Roberto could not refute.

Compared to Pope John who was only scratched and the back of his head was swollen, Raymond was the one who was seriously injured. Everyone saw how he was injured at the time. Although it was said that Wei Wei was treating him, no one felt it. His legs are still getting better, and it's good to be sure that they don't get worse.

Moreover, although Raymond is younger than Pope John, he is also fifty years old. People of this age can go to see God even if they are slightly ill. With his current situation, no one can say how long he will live.

Compared to the fact that one side was only slightly injured and one side was dying, the church had no reason to ask them to hand over someone.

Bishop Roberto wanted to say something else, Wei Wei interrupted first: "Your Excellency Bishop, don't be so anxious. After we have finished the interrogation, we can naturally hand over the person to the church. After all, it is the person of His Majesty the Pope, and he should be the one to deal with."

After their interrogation is over, who else does he want? And if the person is handed over to the Pope, he has no chance to take over.

Bishop Roberto was unwilling, but the Count and his wife did not give him a chance at all.

Felix said solemnly: "Sean is just a follower, he has no guts and no reason to murder His Majesty the Pope. Someone must give instructions later on. If something happens to the Pope, who will get the most benefits and who will be suspected? It's the biggest, so, for the sake of the bishop's reputation, it's better not to interfere in this matter."

Bishop Roberto's face sank: "What do you mean by this count?"

Felix was annoyed by him for a long time. After a while, he was even ruder: "Don't you understand what I mean? If something happens to the pope, the church will re-elect a new pope. I heard that Bishop Roberto is also one of the popular candidates.

" He is the mastermind behind this incident.

Roberto was so angry that he was about to vomit blood: "You!"

"I don't care how you fight within your church, but please remember that this is Sardinson County, not your church's territory. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Sardinson, I will not I'll let him go." Felix looked at him coldly: "Don't let me know that you did this."

Otherwise, he would dare to do what Prady I could do.

Leaving this sentence behind, Felix stopped looking at his face, whose face was too weak to see because of the weak light - it must be wonderful to think about it - and took Wei Wei and left.

The remaining Bishop Umberto and Father Matthew looked at each other and found a relieved smile in their eyes. After exchanging a smile, they also left silently and went back to the room to rest, leaving only Roberto's face. Ugly stayed where he was, gasping for breath, looking like he was about to explode with anger.

But the servant who followed him and illuminated him felt that his anger contained a guilty conscience.

Wei Wei, who had left, was talking to Felix about Bishop Roberto: "Do you think he ordered what happened this time?"

Felix: "I can't be sure, but it must have something to do with him, otherwise he won't be in a hurry. For the sake of getting people back." This is a guilty move.

Wei Wei agreed: "Well, if the Pope's accident is really good for them, do you remember the curse about the church before?"

"Because the church launched a war against the Eastern Church, God was angry and cursed, causing the current Pope to be very early. The one who passed away?"

"Yes, this is it." Wei Wei nodded: "Didn't you say that the pope supports the restoration of the union with the Eastern Church? If something happens to him, wouldn't it prove that the so-called curse is false? So as long as Isomethinghappens to Pope John, they can say that there is no curse at all, and then replace their people."

"I think it is because of this that Pope John has an accident."

Pope John was also a cardinal before he became a pope. The benefits that people of this class can give to their attendants are no less, and even he was the attendant physician of a certain Pope. At that time, his status was the same as that of Sean now, and Pope John also promoted Sean very much. , he can be promoted to a high-ranking cleric sooner or later, and he can bribe the person who invites him, and the other party is at least the one who can make the other party's heart move.

For example, compared to becoming a high-ranking cleric, it is natural that a high-ranking cleric with real power is more desirable.

And in the church where the hawks are in power, the only people who can agree to this and make him believe are the high-level hawks.

"It's a coincidence, I think so too." Felix wrapped her shoulders and added: "One more thing, if the Pope has an accident in Sardinson, they have the right to send someone to intervene in the investigation, and then they want to It's much easier to do anything than it is now." That's

why Bishop Roberto didn't make any follow-up actions except for the initial disguise, and he was probably waiting for this situation.

It's just that he probably didn't expect Sean to be caught, and the Pope wasn't seriously injured, so he was in a hurry now.

"Then we have to be optimistic about that Sean, and don't let people have the opportunity to destroy the evidence, such as poisoning or something."

"Of course, dear, I guarantee that a fly in the cell can't fly in."

He didn't believe it, he was in A prison full of guards, and some people can sneak in and kill people. As for the food and water, they are all used to trying to eat the rats before feeding them to ensure that they will not be poisoned to death.

So the most important thing is that Sean commits suicide.

However, a person whose limbs are tied to a wooden frame and whose chin is unloaded and who can only eat liquid food should not be able to commit suicide, right?

Raymond also woke up the next day.

After the effect of the anaesthesia faded, he woke up with more and more intense pain in his legs.

Raymond, who had just woken up, didn't know what happened, but he quickly remembered the explosion before he fell unconscious.

As soon as he remembered it, he couldn't care about the pain in his legs, he put his hands up and tried to sit up.

The result was not successful but was stopped by the servant who found the movement.

"Master Raymond, please don't move, you can't get out of bed now."

Maike stepped forward to support him, and pressed the man back carefully, but did not let him lie down completely, but helped Raymond behind his back. Several pillows were placed so that he could remain in a half-lying and half-recumbent position.

Seeing it was him, Raymond was surprised: "Mike? Didn't you go home, so soon?"

Maike helped him pour a glass of water. Raymond was indeed thirsty, so he took it and drank it. Hearing Maike's guilty explanation: "No, I didn't go home at the time, I found out that there was something wrong with His Majesty's entourage, so I made an excuse to catch him, but I didn't expect that he wanted to murder you, and it was my fault that I only cared about it at the time. I forgot to let you know when I was chasing someone, otherwise, Master, you wouldn't hurt your leg."

After learning that they were injured, Maiko has been blaming himself, especially for Raymond's leg, although he has been treated by the Countess. , but everyone felt that with that level of injury, it would be good to be able to guarantee not to amputate, and no one believed that he could recover as before.

If he hadn't gone after people but had told them what Sean had done, this accident would not have happened.

Or if he had been louder to attract the other servants who were serving the alchemists, it might not have been the same.

But the fact is that instead of calling someone, he chose to chase someone, and wanted to capture Sean by his ability so that he could take credit for the count and the couple.

Because of this, no one knew that Sean did tricks in the laboratory, which eventually caused a catastrophe.

But he didn't dare to tell anyone that he didn't notify others because he wanted to take credit. He didn't dare to bear the consequences. Everyone thought he just didn't remember it at the time.

Now facing Raymond again, the guilt in his heart almost drowned his conscience.

His words reminded Raymond of the pain he felt. He carefully lifted the quilt and saw his tightly wrapped right leg.

He froze for a while, and although he didn't see the wound, from the degree of wrapping and the pain, Raymond realized that his leg was probably badly injured.

But he didn't care about this issue for the time being, and instead asked: "You said that Sean's mischief caused our experiment to have an accident? What about Julio? Is he all right?"

"His Majesty the Pope is all right, he only has a scratch, Mainly because I hit my head, I felt uncomfortable after waking up, and was asked by my wife to rest in bed."

"It's fine." Raymond breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but look at his leg and reached out to touch it, but it hurt. It's the calf part, and he can't reach it with his hands in this position.

"What's wrong with my leg?" Raymond wanted to show that he didn't care that much, but his trembling tone still revealed his mood at this time.

Maike didn't dare to look at him, and avoided his sight by taking the water glass and pouring water for him again: "Master, your leg was broken by the overturned cabinet..."

The power of the explosion was not small. If it wasn't for the two people noticing that the reaction in the vessel was wrong before the explosion, they left the most dangerous place earlier and did not face the explosion, or they would have been able to hold a funeral by now.

But they didn't run out of the lab before the explosion, so the Pope was hit on the head by something that fell from the cabinet, Raymond was crushed and his leg was broken, and the two fell into a coma.

Hearing that his leg was broken, although Raymond had a hunch, he couldn't react. Fortunately, he still didn't know how serious his condition was, so although he was worried, he was not too excited. If he knew that he was He had a comminuted fracture, and he had just finished the operation, so he was afraid that he would immediately be in a panic about whether he would be amputated or not.

Maike didn't dare to look at him like that, so he poured the water and went out the door: "Master, wait a moment, I'll go and invite the lady over."

Tulu Raymond was wondering in the room, shouldn't he go to the doctor at this time? , why are you going to be called the Countess? If you want to ask about the situation, shouldn't it be Lord Earl?

Maike quickly found Wei Wei, Wei Wei heard that Raymond was awake, put the work in his hand, and came over.

"Good morning, Master Raymond, how are you feeling now?"

Wei Wei went straight to the bed as soon as she entered the room, sat on the stool brought by the maid, first looked at Raymond's eyes, and then grabbed his hand to Start taking the pulse, like a doctor's rounds.

Raymond saw her action and knew why Maiko wanted to call her.

Because she is a doctor.

"It's okay, but the leg hurts a lot." Raymond smiled bitterly and cooperated with her examination while patting his right thigh with his free hand: "Madam, is my leg serious?"

"Huh? Wei Wei was carefully identifying the pulse, and replied casually: "It's okay, the operation was successful, as long as the dressing is changed on time, don't let the wound grow bad and it will recover."

"Surgery?" Raymond's face turned pale: "I Is your leg hurt that bad?"

An old friend who used to be a doctor, Raymond listened to Pope John a lot about his experience, so he understood better than the average person how risky the operation was."Fortunately, it's a comminuted fracture. You're lucky you didn't hurt the nerves and blood vessels, and the broken bones are not serious. After recovery, there is a high probability that

it will not affect daily activities."

Indeed, her bone injury will not have any sequelae in future generations, but now, even if she is 70% to 80% sure, she has to consider whether there will be unexpected factors.

But Raymond thought she was comforting him, and didn't believe the answer at all, his smile became more bitter: "Don't comfort me, broken bones can't grow back so easily, even if they are found, they will become strange. , there is no way to restore the original appearance."

This year, many people have become lame after their skulls are broken and repaired. Not only is his leg broken, but his bones are also broken, how can he recover completely?

"I didn't comfort you you can recover, don't be too pessimistic." The patient's mood is also an important factor affecting recovery, and she can't keep Raymond in such a low mood.

But Raymond didn't believe it at all. Fortunately, his character is not the kind of person who can't get up when something happens. After being down for a while, he cheered up: "As long as God bless you not to amputate.

" She also shut up, anyway, facts speak louder than words, sooner or later he will understand."I gave you medicine

. After drinking it, it will have a certain analgesic effect. If you can't move for a few days, don't move as much as you can. If you have something to do, you can just ask the servant to do it."

Instructed to go.

After I went back, I couldn't help but complain to Felix: "I said it would be fine, but everyone seems to have lost his leg, so they have some confidence in me."

She operated that When she succeeded, she felt that she was great, but everyone's reaction was too shameless.

Felix laughed. He was a little sceptical about Wei Wei's words, but a good and qualified husband would not show distrust, and he didn't want to be kicked out of bed by Wei Wei.

He didn't follow Wei Wei's intention to discuss, but started another topic: "When do you think Pope John will recover? At least to the extent that he can ride a carriage?"

Wei Wei understood as soon as he heard it, Felix was talking to the Pope when he can leave.

The church group had also stayed in Sardinson County for a while. According to the original arrangement, they had to stay for three or five days at most before leaving. But now that the Pope is injured, the original departure time must be rescheduled.

"Although his condition is not serious, it is indeed not suitable for long-term bumps in the carriage. If he wants to recover to the level of travelling, it will take at least about two weeks."

This time is considering that Pope John is not young, and his recovery ability is younger than that People are slow, two weeks is the shortest time.

"Two weeks is a long time." Raymond frowned, thinking that he would have to let the church and his party stay in Fort Sardinson for more than half a month, and he couldn't be happy.

Wei Wei comforted him: "If you want to open up, at least the current situation is favourable for us. During this time, people in the church should not dare to mess around again. We just need to send more people to monitor."

That's all.

"By the way, is that Sean still unwilling to tell the reason?"

"Well, the soldiers came to report in the morning, saying that he knew that the Pope had woken up and admitted that he had attacked, but he still refused to tell the reason." The

trouble is that although he is certain of his crime, they can't impose a heavy sentence on him.

Having said this, Felix became angry: "That guy Roberto sent a Templar to the prison to watch the interrogation today, and we can't even beat him with a whip."

Sean is a member of the church, and there is Luo next to him. Berto's people watched, if they used severe punishment, the other party would probably say that they were beaten and would never accept the result of the interrogation.

When it comes to torture, the first thing that comes to Wei Wei's mind is the top ten tortures in China.

Of course, they are civilized people, and if they want a harmonious society, of course, torture cannot be used.

Wei Wei smiled: "Dear, let's get to know the little black house?"
