Chapter 716: God of Gamblers

Tensho Pope, three out of seventy this year.

Seventy-three, according to Huaxia, this has to be a hurdle, and it is not easy for the old man to step over.

As the saying goes: Seventy-three, eighty-four, Hades does not take himself.

The reason why this saying is widely spread in China is related to the two ancient saints.

Confucius died at the age of seventy-three, Mencius walked at the age of eighty-four, and the way of Confucius and Mencius was prevalent in the land of China for many years, and this saying has been passed down from generation to generation.

The Tianzheng Pope, this is in Europe, and he has to be regarded as a saint, with the word "saint" in front of his name, and his name is Saint Louis, which is not the same system as the Chinese saints.

So Saint-Louis had never heard of this proverb, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his trip east.

From the perspective of the Tianzheng Sect, it is imperative to go east to kill the head of the Hunting Sect.

Because if the head of the hunting gate is not killed, the European Holy See will not be able to intervene in Northern Europe, and the breakthrough in Northern Europe will not be opened, and the Holy See will not be able to implement the plan to take over the secular power in Europe.

One ring after another, pushed to the end, the head of the hunting door must die.

On the contrary, as soon as the head of the hunting gate dies and Northern Europe is taken into the pocket of the Holy See, the situation of the Holy See will be opened, and there will be a lot to be done after that.

Of course, the Tenshin Pope's visit to Eastern Europe is not so enthusiastic compared to the proprietor Patriarch and the Patriarch of the Crescent.

Because Eastern Europe is the territory of the Orthodox Church, the Patriarch of the Patriarch, in order to ensure the religious strength of the Orthodox Sect here, could not tolerate the success of the hunters.

And Northern Europe is the territory of the Crescent Sect, and if things are really done in the end, it is the Crescent Sect that benefits the most, and they first achieve the goal of controlling the secular power.

The Tenshod Sect is a bit of a situation where neither side can get any benefits, and the reason why the Pope will rush to Eastern Europe is also due to the strategic considerations of the entire European Holy See.

At the same time, the least benefit means the least risk.

The mastermind of this matter is the patriarch of the proprietor, and the conspirator of Northern Europe is the Patriarch of the Crescent, who has little to do with him Tianzheng Pope, so he can advance and retreat.

Anyway, it happened, and that was the benefit of the entire Holy See.

If things don't work out, it will mainly weaken the power of the proprietor and the new moon, and the Tianzheng Sect will be able to gain an advantage in the situation where the three factions are strong.

So St. Louis calculated that he would not lose anything, so he happily went.

And then compared to the other two giants, Saint-Louis is very calm and attentive.

Among the four giants of the Holy See, he was the first to set off, saying that he was very active, and then the last to enter, dragging his feet along the way.

Of course, this can also make it impossible for others to find fault.

After all, it is the Tianzheng Pope, and it stands to reason that he will not be able to stay in the small feudal country of southern Europe for a lifetime, and since this trip has come out, it has to be fun, and the scenic spots along the way have to have a play.

Of course, to the outside world, it is not a joke, but a prayer for blessings, praying that these holy places of human beings can be protected from the poison of the Queen Mother of the West in the future.

On this trip, Saint-Louis is not small.

The attendants and guards who accompanied him added up to more than 500 people, all of whom were elite members of the Holy See, and half of them were knights.

There are five knightly traditions in Europe.

The oldest is the Knights of the Round Table, which is now affiliated with the Crescent Sect.

A little shorter than the Knights of the Round Table are the Byzantine Knights of Armor, which belong to the Patriarchal sect.

There are three more, which are the three major knightly orders in Europe that were famous all over the world: the Temple, the Hospital, and the Teuton.

These three knights are religious believers of the Tensho sect, but in fact, they were all secular regimes at the beginning and were not directly controlled by the Tensho Pope.

The Knights Hospitaller, now de facto independent.

The Knights Templar were purged by the King of France and the Pope, and the remnants fled to the New World, where they are now headquartered in the Americas and are the most powerful spiritual community in the Americas.

After the fall of the German Empire, the Teutonic Knights took refuge in the Tensho Sect and changed the name of the knight to the monk, but the inheritance is still the inheritance of the Teutonic Knights.

Half of the Tensho Pope's entourage were descendants of the Teutonic Knights, and the other half were Priests of Light.

As far as combat power is concerned, the cultivators of the Catholic sect are not very good if they are brought out individually.

Cultivating to be the strongest Tensho Pope St. Louis, this is a priest of light.

The priest fights in the first place, plus this is an old man in his seventies, and his physical strength is declining, which is worse than the average prime-aged person.

And the priest's ability is mainly to bless others, and in terms of mental power confrontation, they are far less abundant than the dark warlocks, so they can barely protect themselves by relying on the divine thought barrier.

Aside from the priests, the remaining Teutonic knights, although Europe is still divided, but the war is basically gone, and the knights' lack of battlefield training is a common problem.

Those who traveled with St. Louis this time were considered the strongest in the Teutonic Knights, and there were ten strong nine realms.

The strongest one is the current head of the Teutonic Knights, and he is also the Pope's chief of guard, the level of the Seven Realms.

Just this group of people, if they are single-handed, the hunting gate does not need Lin Shuo to dispatch at all, and He Yongchang, who is at the peak of the Eight Realms, will eat it steadily.

But in terms of overall combat strength, because of the cooperation of the Bright Priest and the Teutonic Knights, the current Tensho Sect is still the most powerful of the three major sects.

The knight and the priest are highly consistent in their beliefs, and the priest's blessing can be accepted by the knight without reservation, and the effect is very good.

It's no coincidence that the number of knights and priests on this team is evenly divided, but it ensures that the priest and knight are fully blessed on a one-to-one basis.

In addition, with the presence of Pope Tensho, the strongest priest in the world, there will be a group blessing.

Therefore, these three hundred knights, regardless of the cost, can all become the top masters at the end of the world's cultivation.

Facing the enemy head-on, within half an hour of the blessing spell taking effect, this team was almost invincible.

With this configuration, it is not a problem to kill a hunter at all.

It's just that in the eyes of Saint Louis, the cost of doing so is too great, and these knights will be overdrawn too much, and it is estimated that after the blessing is over, few will survive.

Therefore, the itinerary must be slow, everyone will tour the mountains and rivers first, and let the proprietor and the new moon go desperately with the head of the hunting gate, and their own group of people should be here to cover the bottom.

It's really not going to work, and then bet this hand of hole cards up.

The mentality is peaceful, and the hole cards are strong, so although the Tianzheng Pope has been bumpy on the road these days, he is still in a very good mood.

Especially when passing by a scenic spot, I also made a friend.

This friend is also an old man, about the same age as the Pope, but his identity is very different.

People are performing in scenic spots, performing acrobatics, and people are as thin as monkeys.

The unique skill in his hand is called "Three Immortals Return to the Cave", and this ability is said to come from the far east.

But look at this person, it's an old European man, with high eyebrows and deep blue eyes.

His trick, in short, was to hold three balls with three bowls, and he was able to do it faster than his eyes.

It can deceive people's eyes and let the ball go to whichever bowl it wants.

Saint Louis had never seen this, and looked at it for a while on a whim, and then he was caught by this man's words, and then lost one of the agate rings on his hand.

Of course, this ring is not ordinary, but the Tensho Pope didn't pay much attention to it, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the juggling old man.

The old man gave him back the agate ring, and then taught him a lesson in words, the main content of which was that gambling should not be gambling, and gambling is harmful to others.

Saint-Louis is naturally ridiculous, but he also feels fresh in his heart.

Since he ascended to the throne of the Tenshin Pope, no one has dared to teach him such a lesson in the past forty years.

These priests and knights around him along the way were like gods and did not dare to gossip, and Saint Louis was actually quite upset.

Seeing that this old man was also very funny when he spoke, he could talk to the sky, and he used his mental power to probe, but he didn't find any cultivation in this person, so he suggested that this stall should not be done yet, and the old man followed him, chatted with him, and gave a thousand euros a day.

Such a good thing, the old man naturally did not shirk, and said a few polite words, and then followed.

To this day, the old man named Tom has been following the army for ten days, and the more he chats with Saint-Louis, the more speculative he becomes.

Tom Sr. is well-informed, talkative, and often sees problems to the point, and then quickly comes up with solutions to problems.

Saint Louis secretly broke his heart, thinking that this is a talent, he has to take care of it, turn around and turn around the matter here, give him the identity of a cardinal, and put it by his side as a think tank.

It's a pity that this person is a little older, only two years younger than himself.

If he had been thirty years younger, Helen would have stepped aside, and he would have to be the next pope behind him.

......

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Saint Louis and his party, as well as Old Tom, came to an empty city.

Today's Eastern European borders, such empty cities abound, and citizens have long since fled.

And this empty city is still about sixty kilometers away from the territory of the West Queen Mother, anyway, the group has been walking for twenty days, and it is finally almost there.

The place where everyone stayed was this abandoned hotel, which could accommodate people anyway.

That night, Saint-Louis invited Old Tom into his room, saying that he wanted to discuss the matter.

Today, what is the identity of Saint Louis, Old Tom naturally knows.

He was originally a peasant in the Balkans, and later learned some rough skills from a Chinese man.

What is your identity, and what is the identity of others?

People can actually chat with themselves to relieve their boredom, and old Tom is like a dream these days.

Excited, but also a little scared.

The thoughts of the superiors, which are not something that ordinary people can speculate, say that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger.

So when he knocked on the door, Old Tom was careful and knocked lightly twice.

"Come in. Saint Louis's voice came from within.

Old Tom bowed his head and bowed slightly into the house, and found that there were still two people in the house.

Two Orientals, a man and a woman.

"Sit. St. Louis pressed his palm, sat down old Tom in front of him, and said, "Let me introduce you."

This one is one of the nine leaders of the Hunting Gate, Yun Xiu'er, the head of the Yun family.

And this one is the husband of the Yun family master, Miao Chengyun. ”

St. Louis finished saying this slowly, then pointed to Old Tom and said to Yun Xiu'er and Miao Chengyun: "The one sitting in front of you is the Tianzheng Pope. ”

Old Tom was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it!"

"I can't help it. Saint Louis smiled and said, "The means are the means, the facts are the facts, you are the Pope of Heaven." ”

"Am I the Tensho Pope?" old Tom stammered, "then...... That...... And who are you?"

"My name is Tang Gaojie. "St. Louis" said lightly: "When I used to go to the casino, I was also called Old Tom.

I told you ten days ago that gambling is harmful, and you didn't listen to it at the time.

Now you see, that's what happened to me as a bet.

You've already lost yourself to me. ”
