Anthony held the bishop's hand tightly.

"Now I am even more sure that I did not make a mistake. Master Elvis, when you sit in the position of Horn Bay Archbishop, you will be able to compete for the highest position! And those of us who are in the Holy City but unable to change the status quo, are waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation!"

Elvis's heart was beating wildly, and a beautiful picture was instantly sketched in his mind!

He didn't doubt why Anthony didn't work hard in that direction on his own. After all, the other party was in the special system inside Holy See, and basically had no chance of reaching that supreme position.

Therefore, it is logical to look for like-minded people from outside and secretly help them rise to power.

"We are all servants of God, no superior or inferior."

Elvis realized that he had been a little too emotional just now, and quickly restored his usual bishop's dignity.

Anthony suppressed his smile and said, "Please don't blame me for talking too much. Although I can help you secretly, it still depends on your performance in the end. It is very likely that I am not the only one who shoulders this secret mission. Moreover, if you really become Horn Bay Archbishop and intend to be in that position, you have to show better and more performance."

"I know this, thank you Mr. Anthony for reminding me."

Although his face returned to his calm look, Elvis's heart was filled with a raging fighting spirit. How to make others achieve better results? Let those worldly rulers prostrate themselves under the power of the Lord, prostrate themselves completely and with all their hearts convinced!

Anthony grabbed a handful of grains and sprinkled them on the ground. A large group of birds came up to compete for food.

There was a high-crested parrot flying in from nowhere.

"Green cockatoo? It's really rare. Aren't they usually white or gray?"

Curiosity flashed through Anthony's mind, and he took a few more glances at the weird parrot.

He grabbed another handful of grains and sprinkled a little more near the parrot.

"Speak of it!"

Something suddenly occurred to him.

"Grand Duchess already knows that her sister is in this church, right?"

Elvis nodded, "Although I didn't say it explicitly, I think she must have suspected this first."

Anthony had a look of worry on his face.

"What if she comes to the church and robs people?"

"She... she dares! This is not Eton Duchy."

Anthony shook his head. "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Once a woman loses her mind, she can do anything. But we locked up her biological sister."

"Well... you're right."

"I suggest that we move people temporarily until we clearly wait for Grand Duchess's reply. Is there any good place to hide people around here?"

"North Suburb There is a remote village where few outsiders usually go. There is a country church in it. It is quite suitable for Tibetans."

"I think you'd better move people there!"

Elvis nodded. "I'll do it now!"

"No!" Anthony stopped him, "There are too many people on the road now, so we'd better wait until dark before taking action. It won't be long before now."

Elvis accepted the suggestion.

"Yes, just go directly through the north gate when it gets dark. Only North City Gate will not be closed by then."

The green parrot on the ground seems to be full. Compared with other birds, it is stronger and bigger, and other birds cannot grab it.

The parrot flapped its wings and soared into the sky, hovering over the church for a few times before flying into the distance...

Eton Embassy In the room of the Grand Duke and his wife, Helen was restless. Sometimes she paced back and forth in the room, sometimes she walked to the window and looked into the distance.

It could be seen that Grand Duchess was feeling restless now. After looking outside through the window again, she came to the edge of the bed.

There was a person lying on the bed, with a handsome face and green hair. It was her school girl - Laddie Setia Gerard.

At this time, Laddie had his eyes closed tightly and looked like he was asleep or unconscious.

Helen stretched out her hand to feel Laddie's breathing. There was nothing abnormal, and the worry in her heart was slightly relieved.

A green parrot flew in from the window and landed on the bedside table.

"Laddie!"

Helen let out a cry of surprise, her schoolmate finally returned safely.

The parrot nodded to her and jumped onto the unconscious body on the bed.

It stretched out its head and gently touched Laddie's forehead with its beak.

About half a minute later, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

Helen asked worriedly, "Laddie! Is everything normal with your body? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"Senior!"

Laddie did not immediately answer Helen's question, but grabbed her hand.

"Finnie should be in Grand Cathedral, but they plan to transfer her to a rural church in North Suburb tonight, and go directly through North City Gate."

Then he answered the previous question, "Don't worry, my health is normal and I'm in great condition."

Helen's face showed a look of gratitude and joy, and she hugged Laddie tightly in her arms.

"Thank you, my good sister, you have helped me a lot again."

"Don't talk about this for now, senior sister, let's plan carefully how to rescue Finnie. I think tonight is a god-given opportunity."

"Well, you're right!"

Grand Duchess took out a handkerchief and wiped the wet corners of his eyes.

"But we don't know how many people the other side will have. We can't do it just by the two of us."

After listening to Helen's words, Laddie thought of Lichman Adventurer Group's friends, who had just accepted the commission to find Finnie. However, when she thought that she was going to confront Church, she immediately put the idea out of her mind and must not implicate them.

Then she thought of the crew on the Southern, who were equipped with dozens of guns, but this idea was immediately abandoned. If there was too much noise, it would seriously affect Earl Greiman's trade plan, and they could not be involved.

Besides, he was just helping to pick up his family members, so it was up to him whether he wanted to help or not.

Helen looks confident.

"In recent days, in order to find Finnie, Horn Bay Alliance agreed to transfer a group of people from Eaton, including many people from my mother's family. I will summon them to set up an ambush near North City Gate and recapture Finnie."

"How many people can you gather before dark?"

"Thirty or forty people still responded."

Laddie nodded, and then made a suggestion. "Senior sister, let me go with them, maybe I can help."

Helen held her hand tightly, "I'm very grateful, but you have to follow them secretly. If there are few people on the other side, just let my people deal with it. If my people can't deal with it, you take action again."

"Okay! Don't worry, senior, I know how to hide my identity."

"Laddie!"

"Anything else?"

"I'll go too."
