Benedict and the black-robed mage Kemar didn't know each other at the Hiccup Dragon Tavern, and the two seemed to have a hint of sympathy. This Kemal drank more than half of the tour, took the opportunity to break up the fox friends around him, and whispered in Benedict's ear: "I have a big deal, would you like to try it?"

The old man didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him stunned.

"Your Excellency is a man of learning, so you must know something about the relics of your prophet Cyril. Kemal smiled mysteriously.

Benedict nodded hesitantly.

"This city is where your Pope Clement made his fortune, and he has some of Cyril's artifacts in his hands. Aren't we Desserts defeated by those things?"

The old man remained silent.

"According to what I've learned, there is an unknown treasure under the city of Roma, and the entrance is likely to be near this tavern, or even inside it!"

Benedict was taken aback, and suddenly became interested: "How do you know? Are these treasures from Clement?"

Kemar took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." Let me tell you this, this time Marshal Cripp insisted on going south in a vain attempt to conquer your Tamborance, and not only did he not have the support of our black robes, but even the ordinary Desserts rarely openly approved of it. Originally, the marshal's excuse was to stop the city of Roma, and although there was a big difference of opinion at that time, considering the particularity and strategic value of the city, the people of Desert basically acquiesced. But now the situation is far beyond the controllable range, and the marshal is too disproportionate. ”

"So, we're going to win this battle?" said Benedict, though he felt a little impulsive, but he couldn't help but say it.

"It depends on what your emperor wants. If he wants to defeat Tugrul and Kripp, then I can answer with certainty that you will win. If he wanted to occupy Rom City, then I am afraid that the black-robed mage would not be able to agree. ”

Benedict saw that he was quite sincere, so he confided in his thoughts: "I can't hide it, the contemptible people have come this time on behalf of the Pope to discuss with the five commentators to solve the problem of the war, since everyone does not want to make a rash move, why not get rid of the culprit and live a peaceful life! ”

"I don't think you have to worry about this, there should be a result in these two days. Since we are all in the heart, then I also want to ask, what are the plans of your Bojiao Holy See, are you really going to be the cannon fodder of Emperor Tamborance and swear to take the city of Rom to the death?"

Benedict nodded, in fact, he was hesitating in his heart, with his many years of knowledge of Pope Damassus, he would never put himself and the Holy See on his own and the Holy See's capital for anything of superficial significance. Emperor Tambolance's practice of settling outside the country before securing the interior is not only well known to everyone, but also very unpopular. The Pope must have had a deeper consideration, so he rushed to the front line from the southern frontier of the empire to serve the emperor.

Benedict excused himself to relieve himself, so he left his seat and went to the back of the tavern.

His heart was full of doubts.

Although it had long been known that the people of the Black Robe Society were different from the Bojiao, it was more practical to say that they were a mage merchant association than a religious organization. Religious teachings are not particularly sacred to them. They can deal with anyone for a variety of interests, especially business interests. There's no heretic word on their side, and whether you're a Druid, Polytheist, or Epist, you can take it all and don't hesitate to do whatever you need.

This Kemal seems to be a representative, and if he were a polymath, he would inevitably be excommunicated by the Pope if he knew about it.

There is a treasure under the city of Rûm, this big thing, why no one in the Holy See knows about it, and no one in the past popes has mentioned it, Clement is like a twinkling meteor, and there is no sound after the glory.

This matter is related to the interests of our liberal arts, and we must stabilize Kemar and try to find out the details.

The old man thought about it, but he didn't notice that there was a chubby guy standing behind him. The man was hesitant and excited, too embarrassed to disturb Benedict's thoughts. He waited for a long time, but he couldn't hold it anymore, so he reached out and patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "My lord, is it you?"

"Ah, Thomas!" Benedict remembered well.

"My lord, I thought I would never see you again. The fighting method outside the tavern just now was so thrilling, but fortunately, the man was a gentleman and didn't mean to hurt anyone. Thomas the fat merchant was so excited that he spoke loudly.

The old man was also pleased, and when he first saw Thomas, he decided that he was honest and trustworthy, and that although he was a businessman, he was worthy of making friends.

"My lord, the followers of the Liberal Religion in this city are eagerly waiting for the Holy See to recover Roma. You must be here for a big deal. ”

Benedict gave a brief account of the cause and effect, and he was also interested in Thomas's fur business, so he asked, "After the Deserts came, your business was not good, was it?"

"Hey, in fact, the merchants of Desmet are fine, the key is the army, they are in high demand, my supply has been robbed, and in times of war, all normal trade cannot be done!" Thomas sighed.

"What do you think of the black-robed mage?"

"They also seem to have a lot of complaints about the army, and although the little mages in the tavern are domineering, they are just petty fights, and the five councilors do not take the initiative to interfere with the followers of the Liberal Sect, they don't care about anything except the original church as a meeting place. We, the believers, can preach, preach, and pray as usual. ”

"Oh, then, according to you, aren't they much more open than we are?" said Benedict, who secretly admired the power of the Black Robe Society of Desset.

"My lord, no matter how good the black robe is, after all, it is not our original faith, we have been rooted in the religion for generations, how can we be half-hearted to obey the new sect? As long as it is a devout person, he will definitely not make such a faithless act that compromises with reality. ”

Benedict nodded in satisfaction, and he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned closer, "Do you often come to this Hiccup Dragon Tavern?"

"I don't have a business to do, so I can only kill time every day. ”

"How's his boss?"

"The boss is a very normal guy. Timid and afraid, everything is in the interests of the tavern. No matter what the situation, always try to calm things down. ”

"He's a good gentleman. Benedict nodded.

"My lord, the black-robed mage had a great conversation with you just now, what did you say?" Thomas did not shy away from suspicion.

Benedict felt that his friend didn't need to know about it, because it might be dangerous, so he casually prevaricated.

In order to avoid attracting attention, the two staggered back to the tavern for a while.

Kemar opened his mouth and complained with a smile that Benedict had been relieved for too long, and the old man smiled: "Your Excellency, I thought about it carefully just now, and decided to try my luck with you and do a vote, but if there are two of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to act." ”

"Don't worry, I have a few good brothers, all of whom are not bad, and they are also tight-mouthed, and they can achieve great things. ”

"Your Excellency, I am a learned person, why are you not afraid that I will reveal secrets?"

Kemal looked into Benedict's eyes and said calmly, "You won't. ”

Benedict, of course, didn't, because the city was still under the control of the Durserts, and he was a monk of the Tambo Lamsbo, so how could anyone believe him. Kemar had long been aware of the conduct of the polymathic friars, who worshipped the prophet and the pope as second only to the heavenly. Since this treasure is related to Clement, the old man will not divulge secrets in any way.

Although Kemar, as a member of the black robe, wants to make a fortune privately, if the five judges know about it, the crime is unforgivable, but as long as it is done secretly, once it succeeds, it will not worry about the rest of his life.

In fact, he didn't want to make friends with Benedict on a whim, but he took a fancy to the old man's status as a monk. Because Clement is a polydocio pope, the old man can play a big role in exploring his burial ground.

Sympathy for each other is fake, and taking advantage of each other is real. Benedict's experience in the previous underground of Gridd City had filled him with doubts and uneasiness. It is not so much the relics and treasures of the Prophet buried underneath as the horrors of the unknown. There was also the ancient monastery near the city of Greed, and the nightmares he had with Damasus were still vivid, and the two things were intertwined, and he gradually became suspicious. What was the Prophet afraid of, why did he leave those powerful scrolls for his eight disciples, and why was the cemetery behind him so strange and so trapped?

Exploring the necropolis of Clement may help solve these mysteries, after all, he is the only person in the history of the Holy See to have used those scrolls, and he has lived a glorious life only to die an unknown death. None of the subsequent popes after him mentioned the treasure buried under the city of Rûm, was this to cover up a secret that could not be revealed?

Benedict felt that Damasus must have had a lot of things left untold to him. The position of Pope was both an honor and a burden, and the old man suddenly felt a little sympathetic to his old friend of Sarateburg.

Seeing that Benedict had strengthened his resolve, Kemal offered to invite him to his temporary residence.

Benedict made an agreement with the Pope that if he succeeded in convincing the Five Commentators, he would immediately go back to reveal the news, and if he did not succeed, he would act on the opportunity and stay in the city as a sentry. Therefore, without any scruples, he calmly followed Kemar. Thomas was inconvenient to greet him, and he sweated in his heart.
