Chapter 231: Secret Temptation
The Pope expected that Angelo would answer out of trust, but he did not expect Angelo to answer so decisively, or so decisively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Faith carries a lot of weight to a former pope, and he knows it very well now. Originally, it was also considered whether Angelo's credibility to Angelo's statement should be reduced under two consecutive short assurances. Unexpectedly, under Angelo's words, he felt that maybe he should be more convinced of Angelo's opinion.
What an interesting faith......
"Well, in that case, I think we can move on more smoothly." The Pope adjusted his state and deliberately skipped the topic, and the archbishop next to him pulled the topic back at the right time, and took the topic back like a cloud, and continued to talk about the development of Scaloa's national power.
If Angelo's words can be directly accepted, these questions will be easy, anyway, Angelo is now full of words, even if he intends to deduct some of the water, it is still a very positive answer, that is, the current Pope now feels that he has a huge responsibility, and in the face of the development of the entire Holy See, it is impossible to pat his thigh and decide to come down and say Hey, it's really troublesome, since you have said so, then we will go and kill Sunderland together with the Scaloa Alliance, so decided.
It's not where to eat at night! How could it be such a hasty decision.
But it turns out that when one side is leaning toward one side in itself, the whole discussion tends to be more smoothly inclined to the other, and many of the Pope's doubts, though not completely resolved, are the same as everybody...... In particular, under Angelo's vigorous advocacy, the Pope has clearly leaned towards Scalloa's proposal, and various aspects can at least prove that the decision to form an alliance with Scaloa will not be too much to lose, even if it is wrong.
Human beings have the habit of finding a hundred reasons for yourself to do something if you want to do it, and a hundred reasons to reject it if you don't want to do it. And many times a person's hesitation is a very ridiculous thing, I don't believe that when I am the only one who decides to toss a coin, I obviously throw it and am not satisfied with it.
In fact, I already have an answer in my heart, but I lack the reason to completely convince myself to affirm this answer. By the way, when you want to toss a coin again, you've already come to your own conclusions.
The whole meeting went very smoothly. As soon as the obvious tendency of the whole meeting appeared, the speed of discussion was obviously raised, and some questions were reached in a few or two clicks to a conclusion acceptable to everyone, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and the topics in their hands were initially discussed all over and over again, and everyone present also had a certain understanding of these matters and the attitudes of others.
The Pope was already inclined towards Skaloa, and the archbishops present were well aware of this, and their ability to read words and expressions allowed them to reach this conclusion accurately early on. They secretly exchanged glances with each other during the exchange, and everything was carried out tacitly and in an orderly manner. The Pope and Angelo also cooperated to ignore these small details, as if they had discovered nothing.
"Very good...... I think that's the end of the preliminary content of our meeting today. The Pope dropped the parchment on the table and clapped his hands together in front of him: "It is a pleasure to be here with you to discuss such an important subject, and it is a pleasure for us to agree here, all for the sake of our God." ”
The last paragraph is to shout a slogan, and everyone also cooperated with other slogans to respond to it, which is considered etiquette.
"Then the things that have just been finalized, please arrange them as soon as possible." The Pope tapped on the archbishop's table on the left-hand side of the table. The other whispered yes and bowed earnestly to the Pope.
"It is an honor to be with Angelo, the chosen son of God. Pope Bloomer discussed the matter of the Holy See together, and I hope that you will always make the right choice for the Holy See. The Pope politely replied, and after receiving Angelo's return salute, he continued: "Then today's meeting will be concluded for the time being, and you will be informed of the new situation at any time, and if there is an unexpected situation, it will be studied and resolved here as soon as possible." Adjournment, may God bless you. ”
A circle of people all stood up, each saluted different people according to their own standard etiquette, saluted each other, and then withdrew from the conference room one after another. The Pope and Angelo were still in the conference room. The archbishop, who was at the end of the room, turned around and closed the door to the conference room after leaving the door.
These two guys, there is one more very important thing that has not been resolved......
That's Carlil. Andris's doppelganger. The issue that has just been postponed, the two of them stay together at this time, of course, to solve this problem.
The room was empty, with only the two popes sitting across from each other, all the papers on the table had been put away, and no third person could hear the conversation between the two, which was the perfect setting for discussing dangerous topics.
Probably because the people in the conference room are gone, the temperature has dropped a lot in a few minutes, and the slightly stuffy feeling just now suddenly disappeared, and the air in the entire conference room has become much more refreshing, and I don't know how to do this underground heat dissipation so well.
"I thought that since you were in a relationship with Karil. Miss Andris trusts her so much that she probably won't refuse to search for the third planet. The Pope sat down, and he looked at Angelo for a long time as if he didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, so he had to take the initiative to stir up the conversation.
Angelo seemed to be very comfortable after the others left, and sat very relaxed, looking innocent.
"That makes sense...... But alas, that's not the case," Angelo replied lightly, and as soon as everyone walked and the meeting stopped, he immediately put down the kind of shelf just now, casually as if he was talking about the weather with ordinary old friends: "That's trust, I'm talking about 'faith'." ”
Angelo re-emphasized that he was not shy about calling a friend his faith in his own capacity.
"Like the god of light, you will freely use the secrets of the gods to satisfy your curiosity? - Oh, I'm not saying that Kahlil can be my god, I'm just trying to show that what you just said isn't true. Angelo shrugged his shoulders: "To be fair, I don't want to do this, indeed, I am also very curious about the truth of this third planet, and I am very eager to find out about it to satisfy my curiosity." ”
"What really made you reject this offer, I think we're still negotiable, aren't we?" The Pope clearly wanted to find out about Karil, not only because it was an important condition for the alliance, but also because of his curiosity, curiosity about this unprecedented case. It was as if a new god had been discovered, and it was hard to sleep without knowing her, and even if Angelo was adamantly opposed to it, the Pope felt that he might be able to do it in secret, albeit with great difficulty.
But for a while, the Eastern swordsman who had been guarding Kahlil was not there, was he? This is probably the best opportunity in a while to do anything you want.
"I'm scared......," Angelo confessed, "I'm scared." ”
What the Pope said is right, of course there is room for negotiation, otherwise Angelo would not stay here with the Pope to continue grinding the machine, but Pandora's box is not so easy to open.
"Afraid you know something you shouldn't know?" Instead, the Pope laughed: "I can't imagine that you, as the chosen son of God, would have such ordinary scruples." ”
"Of course, I'm just human" Angelo didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "This secret may never be something we should ever be curious about, and this secret is probably the source of her abilities, such as the incomprehensible sense of smell in alchemy, which we may never be able to do." ”
He sighed, "Maybe this kind of thing should be a secret." Her concealment is correct, and it will not be beneficial for either of us to force our investigation, and it may directly affect our relationship. ”
"Why, it's so hard for you and me to know about it, and then it's like nothing happened?" The Pope interrupted Angelo's words for a moment.
"Do you have a way to find out now without being noticed?" Angelo's eyebrows were raised, and he sharply grasped what the Pope really wanted to convey in this sentence: "Didn't you say that all the divination failed to produce results for this third planet?" ”
He was so excited that he even changed his name to you, instead of using you as a more polite one.
"Of course, we have our way...... Because of access to Karil. Andris himself, this gives us a certain advantage - it can compensate for the shortcomings of divination. The Pope was pleased with Angelo's reaction, and was completely unconcerned about the use of honorifics.
"Is that true?" Angelo's impulsive mood was stirred up at once, and it was indeed a good choice to find out what was going on without startling. According to the same methods used in the past when he was still in the Holy See, if he could not successfully complete the divination, he had to come into contact with the other person if he wanted to test it, and there was no possibility of going unnoticed.
Almost always make it clear to the other party, this is not an investigation, for some people, it is a direct provocation.
And if there is a way to find out without knowing it, the situation will be different......
Angelo felt that most of the scruples in his heart were erased at once, and his whole heart was about to move.
"Of course......" The Pope saw the slightest change in Angelo's eyes, and knew that the time was now: "We can use Heckles psychosuppressants, and you don't have to worry about this, all you need to do is to make Carlil. Unbeknownst to Andris, Andris came to the Holy City to discuss the union with us. ”
What do you think?
The smile on the Pope's face clearly reads these four big words. Angelo nodded his head in a daze......
"Deal." (To be continued.) )
