The old god quoted the Bible and cursed Tsepesh for not dying well.

After a little thought, Tsepeš gave up the idea of drawing circles and cursing back, and instead began to quote scriptures.

The mysterious texts from the East, it is estimated that the old god stick can't understand it, he can only quickly recall, have memories about the Bible, and look for a breakthrough.

"Jehovah has given me a baptized heart that has taught me how to endure and persevere in weariness.

Whoever wants to beat me, I will bend my back and let him beat me, whoever wants to pull out my beard, I will let him pull it, and whoever wants to insult me or spit on my face, I will not shy away from it.

I trust Jehovah to help me, and I make my face like a solid stone, and I know that in the end, I will wash away my shame. ”

A verse from the book of Isaiah was recited by Tsepesh in a very solemn tone.

This is a story about enduring humiliation and burden, which fits perfectly with Cepes's current situation.

Suddenly, Apaca opened his cloudy old eyes and looked at Cepes's solemn face.

"What do you mean?"

The word-by-word questioning revealed Apaca's mood at the moment.

Sure enough, if you want to fool the Divine Stick, you must use the set of theories that the Divine Stick believes in.

Unfortunately, Tsepes's memory of the Bible is limited, and he has to rely on his intense performance.

Staring at Apaca's gaze and instantly controlling the situation in front of him, Cepes smiled wryly before slowly answering the question.

"Patriarch, what I mean, isn't it obvious enough!?

I am the one who endured humiliation, and I kept my faith and the persistence of my heart.

But the result? I didn't wait for God's blessing, but for the evil killer. ”

At this moment, Tepes, with tears in his eyes, looked like he had been greatly wronged.

He stayed that way, silent for a few seconds, and then began to burst out powerfully.

"Patriarch! I know it was you who killed my father and brother! I know it's you, you're going to put me to death! ”

Tsepes's teeth clenched, and the green tendons on his temples bulged high with excitement.

The way he looked at Apaca looked at him, it seemed that there was a giant beast hiding in it, trying to tear the divine stick in front of him to pieces.

This state lasted for more than ten seconds, and his whole body was trembling, giving people the feeling that he was doing a fierce ideological struggle.

In the end, he didn't act aggressively, just took a deep breath and then spit out silently.

At the same time as the turbidity, all the anger in his heart was exhaled.

"Patriarch, I think what I said is already clear.

Don't you have anything to say to me? ”

Apaca looked at Tsepes's gaze, very complicated, and his mood was the same.

Calming down, he said in a tone of great remorse:

"Sorry, my child, I have to tell you that it was I who made the wrong judgment, not God.

Now I can feel the mark left by God in you, you are the one He has chosen. ”

Apaca stood up and took two steps forward, the tip of his nose almost touching the tip of Cepes's.

"Tell me, kid, what are you going to do next, and I'll do my best to help you get out of the mud."

"I have a lot to do, the first is to accept your coronation, and then, to burn those heretics at the stake."

"Son, I think the same thing, but God tells us not to rush things.

I need you, keep patient, keep making yourself strong until the time comes. ”

The script did not develop exactly as Tsepes had envisioned.

Apaca dared to plot the assassination of the Grand Duke of his country, but he did not dare to attack the Ottomans immediately.

This old yin just wants to make moves behind his back, and he doesn't plan to put himself on the bright side.

Old fellow, you don't want to get into a fight with the Ottomans right away, then I'm going to force you to do it.

With a little contempt for Apaca in his heart, Tsepes continued:

"The cardinal of Hungary seems to have always been interested in Wallachia and wanted to include it in his diocese.

If Catholicism can help me more, I don't mind reaching out to them.

Anyway, everyone believes in God and reads the Bible, and it is not against God's will. ”

Cepes was light-hearted, but for Apaca it was a naked threat.

The easiest way to bring down the authority of one religion is to bring in another, more authoritative religion.

In this era, the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church coexist and oppose each other, eager to grab all the territory of the other.

And now the situation is that the Orthodox Church is in decline, and even Constantinople is under siege by the Ottomans.

Every year, the Patriarchate of Wallachia sends a considerable amount of money to Constantinople to help the Holy See and stabilize the situation there.

In this context, the Catholic forces have long been ready to move, so Apaca believes that Cepes's words are not groundless.

It's about sectarian struggles, it's about the future of the Orthodox Church, and most importantly, it's about his position as patriarch.

Apaca was pinched by Cepes, he thought for a while, and said categorically:

"Just now, I felt the will of God, and there can be no more tolerance for infidels.

My child, do as you want, and if you need help, just ask. ”

Rather than allowing Catholicism to take advantage of the situation, it was better to attack the infidels, and Apaca was well aware of the current situation to change his original position.

Tsepes smiled slightly and put forward his own conditions:

"First of all, thank you, Patriarch, for your support, I really need a little help from you."

Next, Tsepes told Apaca about the time and place of the coronation, as well as a series of plans.

Apaca's expression became more and more surprised, and the sixteen-year-old child in front of him was far beyond his cognition.

Compared to Cepes's plan, his stupid assassination arrangements were like children playing with the house.

"Lord Patriarch, my most faithful follower, Arthur, is now outside the door.

Before I act, I'll ask him to bring someone to St. Mary's Church, and then I'll just do what I just said.

By the way, there is another small thing that needs your help, please give me 10,000 gold coins as the activity fund for the overall plan. ”

Compared with the previous shock, Apaca wanted to vomit blood at this time, 10,000 gold coins, but it was like this, and the young man in front of him said it lightly.

"No, 10,000 gold coins is too much, I can only take out 2,000 at most, and then ......"

Resisting the urge to vomit blood, Apaca began to bargain, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Cepes.

"Deal, Patriarch, give the gold to my friend Arthur in two days."

Before arriving at St. Mary's Church, Tsepes made mental calculations about how much gold he needed.

By the time of the operation on New Year's Day next year, the consumption of grain and grass, weapons and equipment, and all other expenses will add up, and about 400 gold coins will be enough.

He opened his mouth and asked Apaca for 10,000 gold coins, naturally with the mentality of asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the spot.

I have to say that Apaca did have money, and when he came up to bargain, he directly offered two thousand gold coins, which was much beyond Tsepes's expectations.

Overly greedy and without benefit, Cepes accepted Apaca's offer cleanly.

Thank you for the tip
