563 The Holy See is secret
Zou Liang only took a moment, but he still made a very rational decision to tell the truth, judging from the Pope's performance today, it was not so accidental that the Holy Decree was handed over to him.
"Your Majesty, the Snow Maiden and Emma have become one, and many of them have gradually become like our orcs."
Zou Liang deliberated on the wording.
The Pope smiled, and Bo on the side nodded, "Savage invasion, the Snow Maiden actually made a move for you, it seems that the prophecy is not false at all, and the Snow Maiden will also be an important part of this holy war." ”
Zou Liang was very cooperative and made a confused and questioning look.
"It's normal that you don't understand, in fact, you have a lot of doubts and your own guesses, but basically Your Majesty handed over the holy order to you according to the prophecy arrangement."
This involves the most mysterious prophecies of the Holy See, Bot explained.
"It's not that I handed over the Holy Decree to you, your Holy Decree chose you, although Benedictine VIII sealed the Snow Demon Queen in the first battle, but he was also hit hard, resulting in the most powerful power of the Holy See being unable to pass on normally, and now, my power is at the cost of my life."
The Pope said calmly, as if a little nostalgic, "The power of each generation of popes will no longer be able to be used at will, and the use of it will be at the cost of life." ”
It's also a bit sad to say that while reaching the peak of power and strength, you also have to bear the biggest shackles, which is why the popes of the past dynasties are "weak", for the sake of life, they can't show their strength at will, unless they are impatient, or the Holy See is in a life-and-death situation.
But in fact, the prestige of the Holy See is still there, and the weakening of the Pope only makes the influence of the Holy See decrease, and at the same time, another problem also arises, because the weakening of the Pope also leads to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the knights.
Freezing three feet is not a rì cold, lacking the influence of the Pope's war song, the level of Mengjia's warriors has also been lowered by a level, to be precise, the entire continent is decreasing.
Today, the Pope is equivalent to telling Arthur the biggest secret, which is also the biggest doubt of contacting Zou Liang, with the Pope's magic skills in the arena, as long as he gets it a few more times, where will anyone dare to resist the Holy See, it turns out that the use of this power is a price, even the Pope is not willing to fight at will, after all, no one wants to die.
"In order to cope with this situation, the Inner Court was hidden, and to this day, all the resources of the Holy See are spent on the Inner Court, in order to ensure that if the holy war comes, there is someone to fight."
Kurt said, "We will secretly select talents from all over the country to cultivate secretly, but even so, it is still difficult, but fortunately, the eighth Pope used the strongest Great Prophecy before his death, leaving the prophecy until you appear." ”
"You can use the power of God without paying a price." The Pope said word for word.
The so-called power of God is the power of war songs.
After Benedictine VIII was severely injured, anyone who wanted to use this magical power was consuming life potential, and he didn't find it at first, but with the rapid aging and death of a large number of war song priests, the Holy See finally discovered this secret, so it was able to make it look lost, dilute it, and of course indirectly accelerate the decline of the Holy See.
The power is still there, but it's too expensive.
And Arthur, apparently, could not know the secrets of the Holy See, his origin was very ordinary, even the shaman did not know, only the Pope and the people of the inner court would know all this, but Arthur used it unscrupulously, and at the same time there was no sign of aging at all.
This made the Pope realize that the person in the prophecy had appeared, so the holy decree would be handed over to Zou Liang, because the essence of the newborn Snow Demon King and the other three demon kings was different, and the other three demon kings had been stereotyped, extremely smart, and could no longer influence, but the Snow Demon Queen was different.
The Pope just handed over the holy decree to Arthur, and no one else could control it, and it turned out that everything was moving in the direction predicted by Benedictine VIII, especially the Snow Maiden who actually merged with the orcs, which was even more incredible, but it did prove the possibility of cooperation, but apparently the bridge was Arthur.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Zou Liang said in a deep voice, he didn't know if there was a god, and even once doubted the world, doubted himself, very chaotic and responsible, but now he is an orc, a member of the Holy See, he needs to do something, maybe there is indeed a power in the universe beyond his worldview, if this power is God, he admits it.
Benedictine XV smiled and shook his head slightly, "I don't know, all I have to do is prepare for the holy war, and what you can do, only you know, but one thing is certain, after the holy war, you are the next pope, if we are still alive, this world is still in the hands of the orcs." ”
The Three Demon Kings have accumulated terrifying power at present, and the most terrifying thing is that they are hiding among the orcs, using the power of the orcs to wage war with the Holy See, the Land of Wind, the Salong Empire, and the wilderness, all of which cannot be underestimated.
This sentence is explosive on any occasion, but the three people here are very calm, even Zou Liang didn't do anything because of this sentence.
To be honest, to this day, he will not be ecstatic because of a word, the pope is not something he can be if he wants to, nor because of a sentence from Benedict XV, but he also knows that the pope does not need to tempt him here, there is no need for both sides, probably this is also the idea of the pope, and this is how the papal inheritance works.
Suddenly, Zou Liang saw a kind of perseverance on the Pope's old face, maybe the Pope didn't want to survive this holy war.
The three demon kings who have awakened, three powerful forces, it is too difficult, Mengjia has not yet been unified internally, and the archon family will never be captured.
Zou Liang also finally understood why the Pope wanted to cultivate Nebero, this was a helpless choice, if he didn't appear as predicted, and let Nebero become the Pope to solidify Mengjia, it was indeed the best choice.
But all that changed because of his presence, and the pope wanted Nebero to make the right decision.
What will happen to Nebero?
Zou Liang doesn't know, he really doesn't know.
Bot smiled, "Don't be so nervous, even if you start a holy war, it's not so fast, you have to prepare in the early stage, these things will be dealt with by the inner court, and the direction you have to work towards should be in the Tongtian realm, although I don't know what is on the road to Tongtian, but if you can get it, it should be of great help to us this time." ”
Zou Liang nodded, "I will definitely do my best, but I only have the level of Jin Yao level now, and I still have some strength to face the dark gold master." ”
The Pope and Bot looked at each other and smiled, "You know how quickly your strength has improved, in just three years, from white clothes to golden Yao, it sounds like a joke, but it appears in front of our eyes, sometimes, in addition to strength, it depends on a little luck, or God's favor." ”
"Your Majesty, with the prestige of the Holy See, if you disclose the demon clan, will you let them mess up?"
"It's not that we haven't thought about this, it's just that it's too difficult, the Three Demon Kings were destroyed, but their power has been passed down in a way that we can't grasp, and they have been integrated into our society, they can't be separated, and it won't have any effect, and the prestige of the Holy See is not five hundred years ago, the problem now is that we have to deal with the Three Demon Kings, and at the same time guard against the ambitious Hannibal Empire."
That's the biggest headache, Bot said, and that's the reality.
Zou Liang did scratch his head, if this is the case, the Barbarian Wilderness, the Land of the Wind, and the Saron Empire controlled by the Three Demon Kings will definitely be together, and they will lose the possibility of containing each other, and the Hannibal Empire will take Mengjia as an opponent, and Mengjia can neither ignore nor put the main force on the Hannibal Empire.
This one is quite a headache.
To tell the truth, Zou Liang listened to and admired the pope, this pope was really tired, the pope a long time ago was indeed very majestic, and the current pope is very pitiful, especially Benedictine XV, the previous ones have all been mixed up.
"After the Battle of Tongtian is over, no matter what the outcome is, it will be the beginning of the Holy War!"
The Pope gave an ultimatum.
Zou Liang, who returned to his mansion, locked himself up, Avril and the others didn't understand why Zou Liang was looking for trouble with the Fiklo family, in fact, it should be low-key at this time, but judging from the meeting of the senators, it seems that he has won, but recently there has been a bit of a rumor, there are many soldiers on the street, and there is a different atmosphere brewing in the whole dìdū.
Zou Liang was also pondering, he also sorted out a thought, except for the matter of the Tongtian Realm, the Pope did not give him a clear instruction, it is true that except for a prophecy, Zou Liang can't be expected to do anything, he is not a master of the Diamond Realm, and he is also a red-clothed chief priest in his position, even the Pope can't order anything, let alone him.
But he can still do a lot of things, provided that it is straightened out clearly, the Pope did not prohibit him from passing it out, nor did he let him pass it out, obviously letting Zou Liang deal with it at his discretion, hoping to bring some good variables to the holy war.
The Snow Girl is another card, not to mention anything else, in the fight against the other three demon kings, if the Snow Girl can help, it will be a great help, but Zou Liang is not sure if the Snow Girl will help, but at least there is one less enemy, which is still very confident.
Doran City may be a breakthrough, if he is the Pope, the current thinking is definitely not attack, but defense, but judging from the Pope's current arrangement, it seems to be the idea of attacking.
Think about it, as a holy Holy See, sending out a holy war is an attack, how can it be beaten passively, but the comparison of strength is very unrealistic, and now it is not clear what kind of strength the so-called inner court has, and the twelve knights at the peak of dark gold are indeed very attractive, but this alone is not enough.
Back then, the Holy See was invincible in the world, but it was not just one or two top powerhouses, the surging golden legion was the root.
But the opponent is different, the terrifying demon beast back then has been replaced by an orc army, and they are all weakened, so we can only see who is weaker and less.
The Pope has the Pope's bitterness, and even if these words are said to the Nicholas family, they will treat them as jokes, and there is no such thing as a fluke in power.
But Zou Liang wants to influence the people around him as much as possible, at least let them make the right decision.
Obviously, the recent dìdū will be stormy.
