The small white passenger plane takes off from Stamford Airport, and the black papal cross on the tail of the plane is very prominent.

The interior of this plane is much more exquisite than all the small passenger planes that Gu Qi has ridden, and it is estimated that the price of the interior can buy a new plane, and the Holy See has never been stingy to show their wealth, in recent years, the attention has been too high, and it has been restricted, and the money has been spent in places that ordinary people can't see.

Gu Qi ate steaming bacon pizza, which was not too expensive food, but it was very authentic and tasted excellent, Miao Yi's food was much more expensive, Australian lobster and emperor crab were carefully cooked, and Miao Yi licked the tip of her nose red.

Merovinge didn't eat anything, just made weak tea, and watched Miao Yi gobble it with a smile.

It wasn't until Gu Qi finished eating the pizza that he spoke: "Last time you said that the Holy See is a pure men's world, it is true, the low status of women in many countries and regions, and some places may be more extreme than the Holy See, but the terrible thing about the Holy See is that the situation in other places can be improved by the feminist movement, but the Holy See is absolutely impossible to change, and the feminist movement can never infiltrate." ”

"I'm not sure what I can do about it." Gu Qi frowned.

"What can I do about it?" Merovin laughed: "It's probably impossible to make much change until I die, but at least start and cultivate an heir, maybe in a few hundred years, the effect will be highlighted." ”

Gu Qi nodded: "But you need power." ”

Merovin also nodded: "I need to speak, I need to be taken seriously, I need some loyal subordinates to form my own forces." ”

Hearing the word "power", Gu Qi remembered his bloody red pepper again, and forgot to come back this time. Continuing to store it, he lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and said: "You have the identity of the 'Holy Grail', you are indeed suitable to do this, and you can indeed exchange some power and discourse by violence." But loyal men, where to look? Women pull down, who wants to put down their identity and be your subordinate? If you can't form a force, you can't even save your life, let alone change anything. ”

Merovin put away his smile and said seriously: "I know that I am not hot-headed in making such a decision. Rather, it was well thought out, and since returning from China, I have been thinking about feasible methods, and there are many prayer teachers in the Holy See, scattered in churches all over the country, and among them there are many excellent women, no matter how hard they work and contribute, they can only become the directors of monasteries, lunatic asylums or orphanages in remote areas, with many people and few positions. And there are too many mediocre and drunken people in the cardinals of the Holy See, if I had power. If you promote those female prayer teachers, you will have great power, and you will not have to worry about saving your life. ”

"To be a female pope?" Gu Qi didn't know much about the internal situation of the Holy Court, and felt that Merovingian was a little taken for granted.

"Nope." Merovin shook his head: "My hands are not that long, I can manage the Ministry of Faith and Reason, when the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine was still the Inquisition." It is a relatively independent department in the Holy See, because the image of the Inquisition is dark and does not match the image of the Holy See, and the connection between the two is limited to those at the very top, such as the Pope, Cardinals, Archbishops, etc. There is basically no communication between the grassroots and the backbone, and although I am only a nominal minister, I can still do something in secret. ”

"What do you want me to do?" Gu Qi asked again.

"Be my shadow, protect me and tear down obstacles before I have real power." Merovin looked at Gu Qi's eyes and said.

"I'm afraid I don't have that much ability, why are you looking for me?" Gu Qi and Miao Yi glanced at each other.

"Because I have no one to trust, this matter is difficult and dangerous, and until I establish my own power, I am afraid that no one will be on my side, and any cardinal who tells me my plan will be rewarded well, so why take the risk? Only you are different, you are at odds with the Holy See, and you are a reliable person, and your strength has been fully proven tonight, and you are definitely the best choice. Merovingian had thought it through.

"I really don't have any reason to betray you, but I have no interest in doing such a dangerous thing, I think you should know the reason why I came to the United States, on your side, Xu Peirong may still encounter danger." Gu Qi tended to avoid trouble.

"I thought about this as well, and the conclusion was...... I'll pay you handsomely, and you can figure it out yourself. Merovingian smiled wryly.

Ability is the greatest characteristic of the prayer master, Gu Qi's chains have been bound to his image, changing clothes and wearing a mask, he can only hide his appearance, but as soon as he uses the chains, he will be recognized, and if he doesn't use the chains, he can't protect her.

"Rich and capricious." Miao Yi laughed: "This is a typical boss, I will pay you a salary, and you will solve the problem for me." ”

Gu Qi nodded, thought for a while, and said to Merovin, "Isn't there anyone around you who can protect you?" I remember last time there was an older nun who seemed to be specifically protecting you. ”

"She's really protecting me, but she's also spying on me, remember the old man last time? He is the secretary general of the Ministry of the Faith, a man of real power, loyal to the Pope, although he can never sit in the position of minister, but the power is no different from the minister, only a title. Merovingian said helplessly.

"What kind of composition is the Congregation of the Faith and Doctrine, and what does it do? Kill the infidels? Miao Yi interjected and asked.

Merovin shook his head: "The affairs of the infidels, the Ministry of the Faith and Doctrine is no longer in charge, at most it is just cooperation, just like in the past, Botro wanted to eliminate Gu Qi, and the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine sent Boniero to cooperate, we mainly supervise the internal Church, which is equivalent to the governor in the police, the military police in the army, and the court within the Church, of course, there are some things that are also in our charge, such as keeping the materials of the Church, studying the Bible, and so on.

"The composition is also relatively simple, the highest position is me, the Minister of the Faith, below is the Secretary General, and below is the Assistant Secretary General - Boniero belongs to this level, and below the Assistant Secretary General there is the Deputy Secretary-General, and below that there are the Ministers, Advisers, Theologians, and the Order, of which the Deputy Secretary-General, the Ministers, and the Theologians are all ordinary people, and the Assistant Secretary-General, the Advisers, and the Knights are made up of prayer teachers."

"How many prayer teachers are there?" When Miao Yi heard the Knights, she felt that the number would definitely not be small.

"The Order is full of eighty men, and there are still more than seventy; The advisers were full of fifty people, and they were only called up when needed; The number of assistant secretaries-general is full of ten, and there are nine more after Boniero's death, and a replacement for Boniero has not yet been found. Meroving's mouth opened and he came.

"In other words, there are now more than 80 prayer teachers in the Congregation for Faith and Reason." Gu Qi frowned again, the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine is just a department of the Holy Court, in addition to the Department of Faith and Doctrine, there are more than ten major departments in the Holy See, and there are countless small departments under each of them, and the number of prayer teachers adds up, I am afraid that it is an astonishing number, and this is still a weakened Holy Court.

"Yes, there are more than eighty people who can fight at any time, and if you gather the advisory group, it will be one hundred and twenty or thirty people." Merovingian did not hide the danger of this.

"You don't want us to kill the people of the Congregation of the Faith and Doctrine completely, do you? It's not completely impossible, but it feels like a big death, and active killing is not the same as defending in Fort Knox. Miao Yi squinted at Meroving, suspecting that the woman was crazy.

"Like I just said, I have to think about Xu Peirong, so I can't reveal my identity, if you need it, we can help you assassinate and clear the obstacles, but if you can't protect it, it will definitely be exposed." Gu Qi didn't consider the danger first, but the feasibility of this matter.

Merovin nodded, his expression darkened, "I'm sorry, this is really a big problem, I really can't think of any solution." ”

"How long will it take you to have your own powers?" Gu Qi asked curiously.

"It may take a year to learn from the Borgia family's violent methods, but the Holy See will definitely find out about the big moves here, and I don't have many people to trust, if I take my time with gentle means, I'm afraid it won't be successful in five or ten years." Merovingian sighed.

"I think you're thinking too much." Gu Qi clasped his hands and said: "The Borgia family's ambition is much greater than yours, and the only purpose is to hold great power, but your situation is different, your purpose is to improve the status of women, in other words, to let women have more power, seizing power is just one of the steps to achieve this goal, you have the identity of 'Holy Grail', you don't need to hide your purpose, the Pope knows what you want to do, it is likely that he just laughs at you for being naïve, maybe he will support you and establish a good image for himself and the Holy See, There is only a very small chance that you will take this seriously, because you are not trying to seize power and not harm the interests of the majority, so it is not people outside the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith to be wary, but these prayer teachers of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the T ”

"That's right." Miao Yi added: "And if you make it public, you will definitely get the support of the female clergy, especially the directors of the monasteries, madhouses and orphanages, they may not believe you at first, but as long as you can make a difference, the number of loyal people will definitely increase." ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the more Merovingian listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and after a long while, he said: "Yes, it's not a secret that women in the Holy See have a low status, and it's not a bad thing for me to promote the status of women, so why hide it?" ”

"No, if you can hide it, you still have to hide it, what I'm talking about is that you can't hide what you think later, at least at the beginning, you can't let the secretary general know what you think, you have to be in power to do this, and he who is actually in power will never let you go." Gu Qi lit another cigarette-
