The Holy See really put a lot of thought into entertaining Zuo Lin and his party. Aside from the water, bread and steaks that Barnes mentioned that seemed to be famous in the circle of those in the know, everything else was in place. Luxury and enjoyment do not need to be splendid, what is needed is probably those details that you usually notice or can't notice. And the strange thing is precisely that although these guys in it feel very comfortable to be cared for, to others, they seem to be no different from those ascetics who are under the same roof, except that they are not dressed in black sè robes and white sè necklines like the clergy.

"Mr. Merdonke will be here tomorrow morning, do you have time?" said Barnes, as if casually, during the afternoon tea.

It is only in the midst of it that one can feel the pervasive power that the Holy See has developed over thousands of years as a formidably powerful institution. Knowing that they had separated from Hermione and dumped Hermione at the UNHCR camp in order to help the tribal warriors, Barnes found out where Hermione was now with a few phone calls. After questioning Zorlin, he made a phone call and asked a friend who was in Jerusalem to bring Hermione to Rome as well. Of course, it won't force Hermione's itinerary. With the guidance of a friend who was very powerful in every way, Hermione was able to visit many places that she would not have dared to visit and would not have been able to go, and even take pictures. Jerusalem has been relatively peaceful lately, and maybe Hermione is still playing in a very historical place.

In order not to arouse too much suspicion about Zuolin's arrival in Rome, Barnes even arranged for several managers of the two teams in Serie A to come to eat and drink coffee together, deliberately let a few well-connected reporters take pictures, and made a special trip to ask the Holy See's royal writer to write an unobscure public relations draft for this matter, making it seem as if Zuo Lin intended to transfer to Serie A. Those guys from the Dark Council and the Society of Truth, even if they know that Zolin is the "lion" in charge of the Druid Council, they can't rule out the possibility that he really wants to transfer to Serie A. The separation of personal development and public affairs of the Druid Council did not make it easy for the Druid Council to gather strong human resources and fight everywhere like an army, but it also ensured that the majority of the council lived in a fairly good condition.

The druids were somewhat impressed by the orderly, unhurried manner of Barnes and his colleagues, as well as their tepid tone and meticulous handling of various details. Is the Holy See really at a disadvantage in Europe right now? Everyone seems to have a different view on this issue. Perhaps the situation on the surface is indeed at a disadvantage, but the Holy See did not do its best, nor did it show all its skills.

When arranging a meeting with Medunke, one of the two highest deacons of the Inquisition, Barnes deliberately ignored the identity of Cardinal Medunke, and did not call him Cardinal's Majesty but used the most ordinary "sir", which greatly weakened the negotiation of the contact between the Holy See and the Druid Council, and more like a meeting between friends.

"Of course there is time. "It has been agreed with Sophocles that this negotiation is basically in the hands of Sophocles. Whether or not to start an all-out war with the Dark Council, Zuo Lin did not have a fixed idea in his heart. Actually, Sophocles didn't either, but Sophocles used language that did not reveal his attitude to ridicule, scrutinize, and test the kung fu, which was much better than Zuo Lin.

Sophocles' statement relieved Barnes. For a veteran clergyman like him, who can remain calm in even the most critical moments, he understands the predicament facing the Holy See better than the druids. Of course, the Holy See can do everything in its power to cripple the Dark Council, but this comes at two risks: First, it will cripple or even kill the Dark Council. Second, unlike other power organizations, other power organizations may not have the ability or will to show their strength, while the Holy See is a little apprehensive about showing its own strength. Because, the Holy See was once incomparably powerful. They have to react in many ways. Not only the countries zhèng fǔ, but also a large number of believers and clergy. It has been said that faith is lost in this era. But people inside the Holy See know that this is not the case. In this era when all kinds of theories and cults are emerging one after another, in this era when countless theories and explanations are confusing people's hearing and hearing, and in this era when science has become incomparably powerful and has almost become a kind of belief, the number of believers has not decreased, but has increased. Just as the number of members of the Dark Council has skyrocketed, just as the Druid Council's idea of balancing nature and the environment has taken root in the hearts of more and more people. Faith is a piece of the heart that a person can manage, and when the seed is sown, as long as the seed is compatible with the soil and can break the ice in the heart, the power that can be generated after vigorous growth is unpredictable. It's nothing more than which side this seed that can grow represents.

At such moments, the Holy See must deliberately avoid giving the impression of being too powerful or somewhat aggressive.

Combined, if the two parties can convince the Druid Council to assist them, they will be able to do a lot of things that they would not have been able to do before, even if it does not take a lot of people. And the druids, I'm afraid, don't have any good feelings about the Dark Council.

The meeting with Medunco was in a café on the streets of Rome. They did not choose to go to a former monastery in the suburbs where they had been settled, or to a church in the Vatican, but on the edge of a square. Medunco doesn't mind drinking a glass of water at this time. Coffee is a bit stronger for him.

"I know your teacher, he used to be my classmate, lower than me. Probably he was the best seminary student in his years. Mo Dunke's tone was very calm, and looking back on the feelings of the year, there was no hint of mixed comments at all.

"The teacher doesn't often mention that passage," Zuo Lin replied with a smile, "After all, being wanted still looks a little ashamed in a person like the teacher with traditional moral precepts." However, the magic of the divine medical technique is often mentioned by the teacher. If it weren't for his study career at the Vatican, the teacher would not have understood such a system, and he would not have achieved what he is today. Zuo Lin faintly praised the Holy See and gave enough face.

"Perhaps," Mo Xiaoke was not surprised by Zuo Lin's reaction, he said lightly: "Perhaps, only a person like Mr. Sun Digui can take such a complex medical technology as the main direction of his own research and become a generation of masters." Whether in the present or in the past, it is remarkable to be able to have such perseverance, to be able to maintain such a compassionate heart even when we have great power, and not to be controlled by power. ”

Mo Dunke's evaluation of Sun Digui is one-sided. Although Sun Digui's combat effectiveness is not strong, at least not as high as his achievements in medical technology, it is not bad. Otherwise, how could Sun Digui be able to cultivate a student like Zuo Lin, who was relatively balanced in all aspects, and had good skills and mentality in battle? However, there was no need to explain much to Mo Dunke.

After a few more polite words, Medunke led the topic to the point, while Barnes, who was on the side, slightly opened the divine fluctuations in his body, forming a small sphere of influence. Outside of this range, the sound will sound as a muffled snoring murmur, which is not difficult, but it is an extremely useful spell.

"The minimum I want to achieve is to get rid of that satanic contractor. I've mobilized a lot of people and forces for this, but I don't think it's enough. Large-scale battles are assured, but we lack an absolutely powerful figure to fight the Satanic Contractors. Or rather, those paladins on our side are not very suitable for this kind of battle. As we devote all our resources to the decisive battle, I hope that you will accompany you, and not just observe. In all of Europe, and indeed in the world, the only one who could defeat the satanic contractor was Mr. Sophocles. …… I hope you don't mind me saying that. "Medunko was very polite and direct.

Zolin and Sophocles looked at each other, they didn't expect that the cooperation request put forward by Medunke was actually like this, without the druid investing much manpower, maybe just Sophocles. Of course, in this kind of decisive battle, it is foolish to go head-to-head, and letting Sophocles become the main force to intercept the Satanic Contractor Nirje does not mean that he is the only one who will go alone, and there will naturally be a large number of men to help him, or it is to use himself to fill in when Nirje escapes in certain directions to delay him and win the opportunity for Sophocles to pursue. But in any case, without a strong enough person to lead, any other manpower can only become a mediocre sacrifice number. The difference in ability between cultivators and supernatural beings is so obvious.

"Did you think of it on the spur of the moment?" or did you have such an idea for a long time?" asked Zorin, "if we hadn't met Barnes, would the decisive battle you were talking about not be true?"

"Of course not!" Medunke was not angry at Zuo Lin's somewhat provocative words, it was the Holy See asking the other party to help him, and Zuo Lin's question was precisely the point. Sophocles is powerful, but he still has the possibility of losing both with the Satanic Covenanters, and when the time comes, the strongest of the Dark Council and the Druid Council will be cut off, and the Holy See will reap the benefits. It's normal to have some doubts about such possibility. "In addition to me, there are 5 cardinals, 4 cardinals, and 6 paladins who will participate in the decisive battle. Since the next pope will have the responsibility of guiding the faithful of the world for a long time to come, it will inevitably be among the younger generation of cardinals. The elderly, for now, only have this opportunity, to take advantage of their own strength that has not disappeared with the death of the body, to make the final contribution. The decisive battle was ready, and the appearance of Mr. Sophocles was nothing more than a chance for me, and a chance for our sacred institutions, for as many of God's people as possible to survive, and nothing more. ”

Medunko's words were categorical and without the slightest hesitation. From his expression and eyes, you can see the firmness and confidence in his words. And these words can indeed dispel the druids' deep doubts.

"If you agree to this," went on to say, "I cannot promise you any too specific reward, and no material reward will be sufficient to reward such a contribution." But, whatever the outcome, the Holy See owes you once. ”

What Medunke said moved everyone. "Once" is not something that can be easily said between people, let alone between two organizations that are actually thousands of years old, and Merdonko's words satisfied Sophocles, who said, "I believe in your sincerity." I'm looking forward to the battle with the satanic contractor, and it should be a very jīng battle. ”
