Chapter 226: Gift-giving?
As the days passed, Leo's injuries also improved rapidly after the inquisition smashed a large number of rare medicinal materials at all costs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter two weeks of recovery, Leo is not able to run quickly, but he has no problem walking.
In addition, during this period of time, under Daisy's teaching, Leo has a deeper understanding of the political situation on the continent, as well as the two super forces that have been in the same boat for three hundred years, but are now almost against each other because of Charles XVI.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Leo doesn't want to go to Ridmar City anyway.
The reason is also very simple, at this moment, Leo has confirmed the identity of the god, and has the strong support of Bishop Gavin's faction, even if Pope Enhill regards Leo as a thorn in the side, it is impossible to take any measures against Leo on the surface.
If Pope Enhill wants to do something covert, hmph, the Inquisition under Master Cheedo is not vegetarian. With a long history of the Inquisition, which has been the first in the mainland for hundreds of years, in all underground work such as assassination, intelligence, and espionage, Leo will be plotted in the Inquisition? That's even more ridiculous than the sun coming out of the west.
So as long as the current situation in the Holy See does not change drastically, then Leo can not stay here safely. But if you go to Ridmar City, it's a different story.
What is Rederma City? It was the capital of the Steamy Empire, a complete and complete royal base and home base! And the current emperor is recognized as the most anti-church Charles XVI in history, coupled with the absolutely not small feud between Leo and the eldest prince Emmanuel, another core member of the royal family, no matter how you look at it, it is full of unknowns and dangers.
"You are sending sheep into the tiger's mouth!" Leo sat on the chair and patted the desk in front of him angrily, his whole face flushed: "Just against His Majesty the Emperor's hatred of our Holy Sect and the life-and-death battle between Emmanuel and me, plus the golden title of the Divine Favor on my head, do you think I can survive in Ridmar City for seven days?" ā
"Well." Bishop Gavin, who was sitting on the sofa opposite the desk, smiled and glanced at Cheedo beside him, and then said slowly: "Dear Leo, I think you must have overestimated the threat you faced, although His Majesty the Emperor does have some misunderstandings about our Holy Sect, but our Holy Sect still has a certain influence on the entire empire, and it is impossible for him to openly kill you, a divine servant." ā
The reason why Bishop Gavin's and Cheetos appeared here at the same time was also very simple - to persuade Leo to go to the city of Ridmar.
"Hmph, you've been in my politics class for nothing these days?" Leo sneered, and then said: "The Holy Sect has hundreds of dioceses and millions of believers in the empire, of course His Majesty the Emperor is not stupid enough to kill me, a once-in-a-century divine favorite, in public, but what if he gives me a poisoned assassination package?" Don't forget that Ridmar City is the territory of the royal family, as long as they send a random Sanctuary powerhouse pretending to be a dark sect to kill me, then they will be able to leave the responsibility clean? Oh yes, with my current strength, I'm afraid that a high-level cultivator will be able to take my life easily! ā
"We've thought about this too." Cheeto, who was on the side, suddenly interjected, "During this period of mission in Ridmar City, the Third Adjudicator will act as your personal bodyguard. With the combat power of the number three, even if the powerhouse of the Sanctuary is in person, he can cover your safe escape. ā
"Three?" Leo's mind immediately appeared in the hall that night, the big man who was at least two meters tall, wearing a pair of silver heavy armor, and looking very imposing. I have to admit that if there is personal protection for this big man, it seems to be quite safe.
But that wasn't enough to reassure Leo: "That's not enough, you know, Number Three may be able to save me from a Sanctuary powerhouse, but what if it's two?" You must know that there are two Sacred Domain powerhouses in the palace, maybe a double-digit Sacred Domain powerhouse can be sent. ā
"A double-digit Sanctuary powerhouse?" Bishop Gavin couldn't help but laugh, "Dear Leo, even if there are really so many Sacred Realm powerhouses in the Imperial Palace, His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to send them all out because of you, unless he wants to completely fight our Holy Sect in a life-and-death war." ā
"Don't talk too much, Lord Gavin." Leo rolled his eyes, "You must know that what we are discussing now is my life and not yours, of course you can put on such a lively attitude." Since His Majesty the Emperor was able to go against the tradition of three hundred years and go against our Holy Religion, it was not impossible to completely tear up the covenant between the Imperial Family and the Holy Religion one day. ā
"Okay, okay." Bishop Gavin's face showed a helpless expression, and he took out a very small magic scroll from his arms and put it in front of Leo: "I think this scroll should be what you need." ā
"What kind of spell is this?" Leo took the magic scroll and looked at it curiously in his hand. Judging from the exquisite workmanship materials of the scroll and the hint of strong magical aura emanating from it, this magic scroll was obviously not ordinary.
Bishop Gavin's face showed a painful expression: "This is a fixed-point teleportation scroll, it takes three seconds to take effect, and it can teleport up to five people at a time. The teleportation point has been set up, and it is located in the room of my Holy See. ā
"Wow, it's a fixed-point teleportation scroll?" Leo's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the scroll into his arms.
As a person who had been a magic apprentice at the Academy of Magic for eight years, it was certainly impossible for Leo not to know what the teleportation scroll was, and the use of teleportation magic required a deep understanding of the laws of space, which was a very advanced part of magic. A scroll like this that can teleport at a fixed point can only be made by those Holy Magisters who have an extreme understanding of spatial magic, and it can be called a priceless treasure.
And Leo had also seen the role of the teleportation scroll not long ago, that was in Paris City, when Lynch, a sanctuary powerhouse belonging to the royal family, finally came out to rescue Princess Bela, he used the teleportation scroll!
Such a life-saving thing at a critical moment, even if someone really exchanges a city, Leo will not change it, and it is no wonder that the old fox Bishop Gavin has such a reluctant expression on his face when he takes it out.
"Now you can leave for Ridmar City, the carriage is ready." Cheetos asked Leo.
Leo smiled and agreed very happily: "No problem, let's go now!" ā
Leo still understands the principle of eating people with soft mouths and short hands, since Bishop Gavin has even taken out such a valuable thing as a fixed-point teleportation scroll, then it is obvious that no matter how reluctant he is, he will definitely be forced to go by the two guys in front of him, so it is better to simply agree.
Leo suddenly remembered another question: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what am I going to Ridmar City for this time?" ā
Bishop Gavin and Cheedo glanced at each other, and the familiar old fox-like smile suddenly appeared on their faces: "Your mission this time is actually very simple, that is, to give a gift to His Majesty the Emperor!" ā
"Gift-giving?" Leo couldn't help frowning, looking at Bishop Gavin with a wicked smile on his face, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Did you put another one for the old fox in front of you?
