Chapter 207: 2-86 Aftermath
A few days later.
"Executor Seventy-Four, Dragon, huh?" Iroh asked, looking up.
"Don't you know?" Louise in front of him asked rhetorically.
"Since you are the executor, you should obey my orders completely, and strictly implement even actions that seem to be excessive." Iroh said.
"Hmph, yes." Louise snorted.
Louise, who had regained her body, was incorporated into the Executor, but her number was very low, and the Pope would hardly assign her a task.
Louise is one of the lowest-numbered executors who are often considered to be contained and guarded, and the Holy See has never intended to use her powers when she is incorporated into the ranks of executors, but only to keep her power under its guard to prevent her from running amok and causing trouble.
This is the best way to deal with Louise properly, even if Louise is driven out of the territory of human civilization, with the passage of time, human beings will eventually expand to Louise's territory, and there will inevitably be disputes at that time, and at that time, there is a chance that Iloh is no longer there, and how Louise will treat humans at that time Iroh has no way of knowing.
Iroh didn't want to be an enemy of Louise, he didn't want to leave all of humanity in trouble after his death, Louise couldn't tell the difference between people, and if she angered her, her anger would pour out on everyone.
His Majesty Anthony and Luna buried her, and Iroh rescued her, and Louise's opinion of humanity remained zero.
"After becoming an enforcer, you can move freely in the human world, but be sure to submit an action report every month, which can be submitted to the paladins in any city, so that we can know your whereabouts." Iroh handed her Louise's identity stats, "If you don't know human writing, ask the paladins for help, and they will be happy to help you." ”
"It feels like I'm being watched." Louise frowned slightly.
"There is still a fundamental difference between it and surveillance, and the main thing to grasp your movements is to help you deal with the aftermath." "For this you can enjoy the wealth created by human civilization for free, and all the bills will be paid by the Holy See, and you don't have to pay any labor for it, you just need to find the local paladin and apply for a grant." ”
This is a treatment that countless people can't ask for, the material in this world is not abundant, and many people are suffering from hunger, but for the sake of the stability of the world, the Holy See must pacify these inhuman creatures.
"It's funny, if human civilization could create the slightest thing that can please me, I wouldn't hate humans so much." Louise folded her arms around her chest in disdain.
"Perhaps, I made some dessert while you filled out the form, would you like to try it?" Iroh stood up and brought her some pudding.
Louise replied with a disdainful look on her face, "Food? Dragons draw magic from the air to keep themselves moving, and if dragons eat the corpses of other creatures like humans, the whole world will be eaten by dragons...... Not. ”
Just as she was opening her teeth and claws, Iroh stretched out a spoon and gagged her mouth directly with the pudding.
Iroh changed the recipe of the pudding and increased the amount of sugar according to Louise's ethnicity. Before that, he had speculated that both Mel and Iroh had increased their demand for sugar after obtaining the dragon's blood, and not only became more able to eat sweet, but also preferred to eat sweet, so Iroh speculated that the dragon's blood had no resistance to desserts, and the sweeter it was, the more it could break down the dragon's defense.
"Hmm!" Louise directly bit the spoon, and half of the steel was chewed and swallowed by her pudding, and judging by her expression, Iroh had won the bet.
"Hmph, that's all there is to it, but it's far from satisfying the dragon's appetite." Louise glanced at the pudding on the table, then glanced at Iroh with her peripheral vision.
"I'll continue to do it later, and you can also find these foods in the dessert shops in the big cities after you leave here, but those things cost money, and you have to ask the local paladin for money in advance when you buy them."
"It doesn't matter, I won't let them find out when I take those things."
"It's better not to, it's because I'm worried that a supernumerary executor like you will do this kind of thing, so we're so busy." Iroh said, turning and walking to the kitchen.
After serving the pampered dragon, Iroh returned to the Pope's chamber.
The room was empty, and the Pope, who had been sitting in the Pope's seat ninety percent of the time, was nowhere to be found, and just as Elo was wondering, he suddenly heard the Pope's voice.
"Executor Zero One, come to Master's side."
"Master" refers to the old Pope, Arlo's adoptive father. The Pope usually refers to her as "the former Pope", but occasionally she will say "Master", after all, she has used this title for more than ten years, and it is still troublesome to change her words.
Iroh followed the Pope's instructions to the room where the body of the previous Pope was kept, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he felt the blood in his body freeze for a moment.
The old Pope, who was originally lying in a crystal coffin, had now turned into a dry skeleton, and his flesh and blood had long since decayed, completely cutting off the possibility of resurrection.
"Any idea?" Iroh didn't ask those questions that weren't nutritious, he didn't need to disguise himself in front of the Pope, and he didn't need to be polite, he could say whatever he wanted to say and do things efficiently.
"The initial assumption was that it was already like this before you came back." The Pope didn't look back, "It shouldn't be that someone deliberately entered here to destroy his body, otherwise it shouldn't be undetectable to all the paladins and executors of the entire Templar Curia." ”
"If there is such a person who can do such a thing, then he will not do such a thing." Iroh said.
"Not bad." "Perhaps the Master's soul finally couldn't hold on anymore and left us before we could help," the Pope said. ”
"I don't rule out the possibility of that." Iroh said.
"I know what you mean, I will immediately set up a special team to investigate this matter, but you can't interfere for the time being." The Pope said, "You cannot leave your post until the calamity of the inline of the stars is over." ”
“…… I understand. ”
"Let's go back." Said the Pope.
Iroh left without even saying a word of farewell after receiving permission, and the Pope did not waste his tongue on such details, and the grief in Iroh's heart was only something she could understand.
When Iroh was completely away and no one could come to this room again, the Pope knelt lightly in front of the body of the previous Pope.
"Master......"
She was supposed to be a pope who would not allow crying, who would not allow weakness. But in this moment, she is as fragile as an ordinary person.
The only person who could see her was that it was impossible for Iroh to come back, and in a world where there were no people, she could finally let go of herself a little.
