It took less than half the time for Strong> to return to the Sanctuary from the Dark See, and compared to the many worries he had when he came, Ren Jia was now like an arrow, and he was resolute along the way. し

Two years is not a long time, but it is a drop in the bucket for what she has to do, so it is inevitable to race against time.

Before she could return to the temple, a series of orders had been issued, and 1528 was finally able to show up and follow her master, almost so grieved that she wanted to cry.

"Our time is very tight, if you want to get the task reward, you have to work hard, and you have to work hard to support me," Ren Jia stroked his coquettish little friend, his smile was full of warmth, "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, right."

1528 happily rubbed around his master, "Who made Jiajia you my most important master?"

"Nelson, what do you think she's going to do?" Rupert looked at the letter in his hand and asked absent-mindedly.

"I don't know," the chief knight stopped his pen as he concentrated on his desk, and his ugly countenance, which had lasted for a long time, finally eased a lot, "but at least I know one thing, His Excellency the Pope has begun to fulfill his duties seriously."

"Tsk, boring." Rupert replied lazily, intending to take advantage of the daylight to go around the city.

"Rupert, I want to remind you of one thing," Nelson lowered his voice, "Now that His Excellency the Pope has begun to work hard, should you go back to your desk and deal with the documents that have been accumulated for a long time?" ”

After a long time, he sat back at his desk and lamented, "What an eventful and troublesome time." ”

Indeed, Nelson looked at the yellow leaves flying outside the window, and he agreed in his heart, but he also had a good premonition that the Pope's trip to the dark forest would settle some things, and he would be burdened with the pressure of the prophecy from the God of Light for a long time, and he must be able to let go.

For better or worse, there will always be a way to go.

***

Three months after the new pope took office, the royal family finally built a bridge between the two.

Compared with the aggressive pressure of the Holy See, the attitude of the new pope can be said to be like a spring breeze, but unfortunately, no matter how good the attitude is, it will never see people, so the royal family can only be powerless even if it has all kinds of means.

"Your Highness, we have finally received a reply from His Majesty the Pope, and she is sure that she will attend the ball in three days." The middle-aged nobleman who was covered in cold sweat was simply cheering in his heart at this moment, who would have thought that His Majesty the Pope would be so difficult to impress, his whereabouts were confused, his temperament was cold, and he was simply one of the most difficult people to please in the Holy See, much more troublesome than the die-hard Knight Chief Nelson and the sleek Knight Chief Rupert.

"You're doing a great job." Oron looked at the bright red seal on the official letter, his eyes were satisfied, and even his smile was much gentler.

The middle-aged nobleman didn't dare to take credit, and after a few words of flattery, he quickly retreated, and it was not until he walked into the sun that he found himself in a cold sweat, but compared to what happened to others, he was so lucky that he wanted to cry.

Who would have thought that His Highness would be so interested in the new Pope, as a wayward master, Filkes García Oren would only make others more unhappy when he was unhappy, so the Holy See has been unhappy lately, the royal nobles have been unhappy, and the Templars have been in trouble.

Once this highness appears to be smiling like that, people who are interested in it will only want to roll as far as they can, and would rather have mockery on his face at all times, and look at you like a fool, rather than let him look at you seriously and decide how miserable you really are.

The God of Light is above, please keep the good mood of this Highness for a long time.

Under the cold winter, all the trees were stripped of their costumes, and they stood there bare, looking bleak and cold. From where Ren Jia was, the surrounding buildings were covered in a layer of gray, and the sky and streets were as dark as the heavy dark clouds moving slowly in the sky.

Fortunately, the knights on the training ground were still enthusiastic, even in the cold wind, they still smiled heartily, and the sweat was shining.

"The second group of people has been arranged, and they will all be able to leave in five days, do you have any other instructions?" Nelson closed the letter and asked.

"No, you're doing a good job." Ren Jia shook his head and looked at the right-hand man who had always been in charge, if there was no Nelson in the middle to coordinate, what she wanted to do would not have gone so smoothly, it can be said that this is the unsung hero behind it.

Nelson did not take credit for it, and turned to the royal family, "Recently, the Holy See has put a lot of pressure on the royal family, but the royal family does not seem to intend to compromise, but the attitude is more tough than before, according to the results of the temple investigation, His Royal Highness Oren's ambiguous attitude towards our side may be the main reason." ”

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince," Ren Jia thought about the person at the coronation ceremony and the invitations sent repeatedly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "It looks like it's not easy to deal with." ”

"This His Royal Highness is privately known as the uncrowned king of the royal family," Nelson was also more surprised, although he knew that the other party was not simple before, but he was not as clear as his status in the royal family now, "It can be said that it is precisely because of his indulgence that our Imperial Majesty will repeatedly make stupid moves, and finally the relationship with the Holy See has come to this point." Judging from all indications, this highness does not have a good impression of the Holy See, and of course, he does not buy it either. ”

"He's said to have no talent for martial arts or magic?" Ren Jia was more curious about the information he heard from Rupert, "He doesn't have great strength, but he dares to put himself in such a dangerous situation, it seems that his ability and character are not ordinary and difficult." ”

"So you must be careful when dealing with him, once you fall into his trap, the outcome may be unpredictable," Nelson finally pointed out the main topic of this conversation, "Whatever the reason, he has extraordinary enthusiasm for His Majesty the Pope now, I hope you can deal with it rationally and calmly, the future of the entire Agamandeb continent is on you, please be cautious." ”

"I know." Ren Jia smiled at the other party's advice and prepared for the upcoming dance party in the evening.

After coming out of the Pope's private study, Nelson rubbed his aching forehead, he had not had a good rest for several days after a long time of work, even though the divine blessing could support the physical exertion, the mental exhaustion could not go away.

Rupert, who was leaning in front of the window, finally waited for the people to come out and teased, "Why, finally finished persuading His Excellency the Pope?" I'm sure she must have humbly accepted all your advice, but what she did was sure to do it as she wanted. ”

Nelson didn't speak, just glanced up at him.

"Well, don't say I didn't warn you," Rupert patted his companion on the shoulder comfortingly, his eyes full of sympathy, "Your Excellency the Pope has never concealed the thought in her eyes from the very beginning when she appeared before us, and I believe in the prophecy of the God of Light she speaks, but it does not mean that I also believe in her words of saving the world. But for sure, she knows too much that we can't grasp, and you should be glad she's at least willing to make up lies to fool us, otherwise ......"

Behind the unfinished voice is a tacit understanding that the two people who have intersected for many years can understand, Nelson listened silently to the persuasion from his companion, but his mood was not as fluctuating as the other party imagined. Long ago, long before the Romance was crowned pope, the most terrible secrets were hidden in his heart, and until he died, he would not confide in anyone for the rest of his life, of course, provided that he could live his life.

Looking at his unaware companions around him, Nelson was sure that he would never show the slightest trace in front of him, Rupert didn't seem to care about anything, but the most devout of the three Holy Knights of the Templars, he probably didn't realize that His Majesty the Pope, who lacked devout faith in the God of Light, would often irritate him.

The three Templar chiefs, neither he nor Reles were fanatical believers, for him, the belief in the God of Light - was more of an illusory thing about justice, duty, morality and character, and Reles, although he couldn't understand it, was at least the best executor, and I am afraid that this was the reason why the Pope chose him to be the exclusive knight, and his execution was the best choice for her to do things.

At least, she was indeed saving her precarious fate, and she only hoped that everything he was doing now would really change everything in the future, as she said.

***

At night, the Royal Palace and Castle are lit up and bustling with activity. The huge crystal chandeliers flickered, and the nobles discussed the upcoming Pope St. Anastas I in the castle, around the rooms, and in the courtyards of the corridors.

The earlier status of the Holy Maiden, the special coronation ceremony, the outstanding talent of demon and martial arts, and the handsome exclusive knight, all kinds of news have become the talk of the nobles, mobilizing their 120,000 expectations.

The magicians of the royal family stood in the tower, and as they chanted, a huge magic array enveloped the banquet venue, complex six-pointed stars and magic patterns swayed outwards with points of light, and fluttering white elves were like snowflakes embedded in the nodes of the formation, and the entire venue was already as beautiful as a crystal fairy palace.

"Your Highness is really generous." An informed nobleman exclaimed, activating this magic array not only required the help of many middle magicians, but also cost a huge amount of money, "It seems that he really attaches great importance to this new Pope." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." The person next to him nodded yes.

The presence of all the nobles of the Empire, both men and women, young and old, was a sign of goodwill, as the royal family had never had such a warm attitude towards a certain church member after many years of fighting with the Holy See.

When Ferks García Oren appeared, there was a commotion in the hall, and the smile and demeanor of this highness were rare perfections, and all the young men in the hall could not help but be overshadowed in front of him, the jealousy of the men, the admiration and affection of the ladies, all eyes revolved around this man.

This highness inherited the excellent appearance from his mother, and in his bones he was the most noble and elegant posture of the royal family, but most of the time his bad character covered up this excellence, and now once it is reined in, the whole person is immediately different.

The time for the banquet to start was getting closer and closer, but His Excellency the Pope had not yet been seen, and everyone whispered and speculated in the sight of His Royal Highness the Prince, until the moment before the banquet was about to begin, someone finally said, "Coming!" ”

Compared with a knight's uniform at the coronation ceremony, the pope changed into a long dress tonight, the white of the saint, the red of the pope and her golden hair formed a stunning picture, everyone remembered that before the coronation, the pope was a holy woman of the Holy See who was famous for her beauty.

Reles, who followed the Pope, was rarely seen in front of people, but was still known to the nobles, and the handsomeness of the Knight of the Holy Light also attracted many women, but unfortunately, this time they finally confirmed that he had become the exclusive knight of the new Pope.

Exclusive knight, forbidden existence, trust, loyalty, spirit and ** can only belong to her.

Oren looked at the guests who were slowly approaching, his eyes were smiling, His Majesty's eyes were as charming as ever, and behind the clarity and calm was a resolute force. She is not complicated, and she can even be regarded as very easy to understand, but easy to understand does not mean that she is easy to be impressed, and this kind of person who is driven by self and belief is the most difficult to shake.

"My dear Excellency the Pope, I welcome you heartily," the elegant and handsome young nobleman sounded very pleasantly in his sincere speech, "and your beauty eclipses everything, and I am almost intoxicated." ”

Ren Jia paused for a moment before looking directly into the other party's eyes and said calmly, "Thank you for the compliment." "Doing tasks with a face that doesn't belong to her all year round, I'm afraid the most insensitive thing for her is her own appearance.

Feeling the other party's coldness up close, Oren was not discouraged, in his opinion, her attitude was the most normal, but the feeling of being normal to the other party was very unpleasant.

"Your Excellency, please allow me to invite you to be my dance partner, such a beautiful moment should leave some good memories, right?" The hand stretched out in front of him looks thin, the fingers are slender, the fingertips are thin, and they are completely pampered.

Ren Jia remembered the hands that took away her heart, coldly, without hesitation, and after looking at it for a while, she replied, "Your Highness, I am here this time to solve the problem between the Holy See and the royal family, if you just want to spend a night of pleasure, I don't have time to accompany you." ”

As the focus of the audience's attention and topics, every movement of the two was captured at all times, whether it was His Royal Highness Oren's sincere praise without any ridicule before, or His Excellency the Pope's unsparing cold refusal at this moment, all of which set off waves in everyone's hearts.

Even if everyone knew the purpose behind this banquet, it was really not in line with the reserved aesthetic taste of the nobles to be said so nakedly, and for a while, many people in the venue were full of contradictory and tangled emotions.

Compared to the apprehension and worry of others, the party who was bluntly rejected seemed to be in the best mood, the smile on Oren's face was rare and pure, and his posture was very relaxed, "If this is the request of His Excellency the Pope, I will gladly comply, I have already arranged a comfortable lounge for you, where we can have a good discussion about the royal family and the Holy See." ”

"Please lead the way." Ren Jia calmly and calmly looked at the man with a gentle attitude in front of him, and was ready to fight a tough battle.

In the eyes of the nobles, the two focal points of the venue slowly disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.

In front of the lounge, the prince, who had maintained a moderate attitude today, finally made his first request that could not be refused, "I beg your pardon for being rude, dear Your Excellency, I do not want your exclusive knight to join us in this conversation today. ”

Reles reacted mutedly, his gaze fixed only on the object he was following, and no words could affect him but her voice.

"You're waiting for me here." She looked him in the eye and gave a decision, but there was more reassurance in her eyes than words.

Reles nodded, "I'll stay here forever." ”

The affection between His Holiness the Pope and the exclusive knight was obviously not so pleasant, and Oron glanced at the silent but determined figure, and leaned sideways into the lounge, "Please." ”

The door closed gently as if the two worlds were separated, and at that moment, a strong sense of unease welled up in Reles's heart, as if when the door was opened again, something would be derailed. 166 Reading Network
