The Pope was speechless, this young man is really difficult to deal with, his reputation is not good, so what does he want? Wealth? He has long been rich enough to rival the country, and moving a mountain of gold will not satisfy his appetite. The Holy See is not a Moulin Rouge, there are only saints and old nuns at the moment, and when she thinks of the saints, the old man's eyes inadvertently fall on Joan of Arc, and he begins to beat her mind......

"Is dinner ready, where are you going to eat?" Ye Fan shouted, he already knew the Pope's intentions, which was equivalent to seeing the opponent's hole cards, and the next battle would be completely controlled by him.

"This way, please go this way!" the Pope himself led the way, inviting the group to the table.

The dining place is behind the Sistine Chapel, where you can see a huge oil painting.

"Yo, old man, this is the last supper? Are you calculating, if I don't agree to your request, let us eat this meal like the person in the painting?" Ye Fan put one hand behind his back and pointed to the oil painting with the other.

"Make no mistake about it, sir, this painting has been around for ten centuries and is a copy of the Italian painter Maria. "We often remind ourselves that we must not lie before Christ, even when we are eating," said the Pope, with a smile. You may be seated. ”

The long table and the oil painting behind it are almost a mold, with a white cloth on top, and a candlestick hanging above the main hall illuminates the space.

"Since you are sitting at the table, you have to tell the truth, old man Pope, tell me, how do you plan to negotiate with the Council of Elders? Do you want the shroud back?" Ye Fan and the Pope sat down next to each other, the little nun sat on the other side of the Pope, and Lu Qingyu and the others sat down in turn along Ye Fan's right hand.

"We would like to be able to come back if we can, but on this point, Your Excellency, the Council of Elders must be opposed. ”

"And you're still talking about?"

"If Your Excellency is on the side of the Holy See, I believe that the Presbyterian Council may make concessions. "The Pope has expressed his wish, and here, as a believer in Jesus, one cannot lie, or else he will be no different from Judas, a traitor.

"Hehe, the topic is back to square one, why should I favor you Vatican? Don't forget, the blood clan and you have been incompatible mortal enemies in the long history of more than 2,000 years! If you want me to see, even if you are cheaper, I think that the Jews of the Presbyterian Church are more reliable than you, at least they dare to risk their lives to preach in the Vatican. ”

The Pope was speechless again, this is also the truth, why should people help you, the former enemy?

"Ye Fan, are you really unwilling to make a move? The Vatican is already in jeopardy, the Presbyterians have infiltrated here, religious wars will be inevitable, do you want to see Europe repeat the mistakes of the Middle Ages and be devastated?" Joan of Arc's small face was full of sadness.

"As long as there is peace in Asia, I don't care about wars elsewhere. Ye Fan shook his head, unmoved.

"Your Excellency, a local war will turn into a world war, and this is a historical law that can be followed! Think about it, the Asian region is not at peace, and if a religious war breaks out in Europe, the butterfly effect will inevitably affect your country, and it will be too late to save it at that time. The Pope hurriedly added a handful of firewood and persuaded him bitterly.

"Clever tongue, do you think that in Asia, I will worry about war? Tell you, except for nuclear war, no conventional war can set off storms!" Ye Fan's current combat strength can already confront the aircraft carrier formation, and he will be afraid of some countries with bad intentions to stir up trouble?

Even the president of the United States has been forced to resign, and who else dares to jump out and die?

"This ...... Therefore, I have always believed in the strength of Your Excellency, if you can preside over the reconciliation between the two religions, in the words of you Orientals, it will definitely be a great merit!"

"Don't talk to me about ethereal things, old man, can't the dishes be served?" Ye Fan knocked on the empty table, showing impatience.

The Pope then came to his senses, turned to one of the cardinals and said, "Lombardi, tell them that the dinner begins." ”

Soon, a group of old nuns appeared with gold plates and silverware, and the imperial meal of the Holy See was not a clear soup and little water, let alone an ordinary head of state had the honor to taste. Along with this group of old nuns, there was also a papal cook.

"Your Excellency, this is the pizza you ordered. The chef began to explain the ingredients to the crowd: "The main ingredients of this pizza are Mediterranean bluefin tuna, Antarctic sweet shrimp, Greek olives, and royal cheese. ”

"Bluefin tuna? This pizza will never be eaten in China! Hurry up, I'll take a photo and send it to Moments to show off. Luo Xiaogang hurriedly took out his mobile phone.

"Ma'am, is this the steak you want?" the chef put a steak in front of Lu Qingyu.

"Well, count me in, huh? This seems to be ...... Kobe beef?" Lu Qingyu recognized the raw material of the steak, the unique marbled texture of Kobe beef, which cannot be imitated by other beef.

The Pope exclaimed: "Wise eyes! This is the top ingredient in Kobe beef, the highest standard plum grade, and only one kilogram is produced per Wagyu beef." The Holy See has always had a good relationship with the Japanese Imperial Family, and every year it receives a gift of Kobe beef. ”

"Yo, it turned out to be a tribute!" Ye Fan sneered: "You Vatican dare to be able to have enough food and clothing by accepting tribute? No wonder you have to want to give up the right to rule the diocese, more than a hundred countries in the world, just loot a little treasure is enough to pile up a mountain." ”

"Ahem, Your Excellency, this is different from what you imagined, don't your temples in the East also receive money for incense? Only a small half of the Holy See's income comes from donations, and the other half comes from tourism, which is not a shameful thing. ”

Ye Fan sneered: "If you compare yourself with a monk, then take a break early." The Shaolin Temple has been listed, and the monks don't chant scriptures, thinking about making money all day long, do you think they have faith?"

"Yes, yes, no, not with them......," said the pope, waving his hand and laughing, pointing to a fresh fruit salad, "Oh, you see, these apples are also very famous, from Mount Olympus in Greece, on the legendary golden apple tree. ”

"Wow, it can't be the apple that Eve stole to eat, right?" Qin Qiaoqing exclaimed in amazement.

"No, no, no, this is not the apple from the tree of wisdom in the Garden of Eden, this is the golden apple from the orchard of Zeus. The Pope smiled and explained: "The relationship between Greece and the Holy See is as youthful as a golden apple." ”

Ye Fan pursed his lips and asked, "Really, why didn't you take action during the Greek financial crisis?"

"Your Excellency, I'm not talking about Greece **......"

"Who is that?" Qin Qiaoqing asked casually.

"It's Orthodox. The Pope smiled and explained: "The Orthodox Church and the Holy See share a common faith in Christ, but their influence is much less than that of the Vatican." There are many denominations in the world, and the Vatican can be said to be the largest and most cohesive and appealing denomination. ”

"Haven't you been bullied by the Jews to the doorstep?" Ye Fan hit the Pope's pain point again.

"Ahem, that, let's dine first!" the old man held up his glass and straightened his arms in a salute.

To be toasted by the Pope himself, for ordinary people, this honor is rare in a lifetime.

The dinner was unusually rich, and the Pope gave the best ingredients to these distinguished guests, but there was no way, how could he beg someone to do something, and the attitude was not sincere? After the wine and meat were served, maybe the deal would be done, which was the same as the unspoken rules in the mall.

The people were retained and the food was eaten, but at the moment the Pope still lacked a big bargaining chip to sign this "contract" smoothly.

"Your Excellency, since you have come to the Vatican, it is better to stay in Rome for a few more days, Joan of Arc, and you will be a guide for the Holy See. When he was full of wine and food, the Pope did not mention the matter of reconciliation with the Presbyterian Church, but asked Joan of Arc to accompany Ye Fan and others on a tour of Rome.

Of course, the little nun readily and happily agreed, but Ye Fan was secretly vigilant in his heart, this old guy didn't mention the incident just now, he must have thought of a move, what did he want to do?

But until the Pope personally sent the group out of the palace, they never talked about business. Everyone else seemed excited, but Ye Fan's vigilant eyes looked at the little nun Joan of Arc in front of him from time to time, puzzled.

"Your Holy See, this matter ......" After closing the two doors of St. Peter's Basilica, a cardinal expressed his doubts.

"Don't ask, Pasgal, soon you will see the Holy See again brilliant, on the road to victory, without losing all the courage to win, will never be able to win. With the scepter of the cross in hand, the Pope slowly returned to his inner court, leaving only the bishops standing in deep thought.

It was night, everyone returned to the Holiday Inn in Rome first, just in case, Ye Fan reopened a room, arranged for Joan of Arc and Lu Qingyu to live together, and specially transmitted the voice to tell Lu Qingyu to be secretly vigilant tonight.

Of course, he will not let anything happen, just meditate and monitor in the next room, as long as there is any movement, it cannot escape his gaze and perception.
