Chapter XXVIII. Cunning and cunning
Fortunately, everything is still under the control of the old man of the Pope, and it has not deviated from the script he originally prepared..... Even if he loses a wave of old faces this time, if he thinks about it, this matter is not impossible to use in reverse, and the Pope has always been very good at controlling the thoughts and public opinion of believers.
To borrow the phrase 'own death' is not a matter at all for the Pope.
The Pope asked: "What happened after I was 'assassinated'?" Have you learned the whereabouts of the son of Sparta? Did he fall into the trap as planned? ”
Credo first saluted the Pope respectfully, and then reported: "Yes, as you might expect, Your Majesty the Pope, that man did not flee from the city, but made his way to our Order's headquarters. ”
The Pope smiled faintly, looking expected, "Sure enough.... But I can't let him find this place too easily, I still have to find something for him to do, it's a critical moment now, and I can't let that guy do bad things. ”
"I have already sent Nero to hunt down Dante and the two, although it is unlikely that Nero alone will capture those two back, but with Nero's strength, it is not a problem to make trouble for them and delay for a while."
"That's fine..... And then there's Agnus. The Pope nodded at Credo, then turned his gaze to the man beside him.
The man called Agnas by the Pope looks a little wooden and introverted, although he is tall and tall, he always feels that his temperament does not match his body shape.... But don't look at this guy like this, he is the head of the Order's technical department, a proper genius scientist, and also a boss-level figure.
Well, it's a bit of a LO nickname..... It's called the Fly Man.....
When Agnus saw the Pope look over, he tried to squeeze out a very reluctant smile, "Your Majesty, you look good." ”
The Pope nodded with a gentle smile .... But in fact, I was already shouting MMP in my heart! If I hadn't already performed the ascension ceremony, I would have died by now, right?! You told me I looked good? If you can't speak, don't learn from others to say pretty things! Your sycophant slapped directly on the horse's hooves, okay?!
Credo, who was on the side, was also speechless when he heard Agnas popping out such a sentence at such an inopportune time, and as soon as his feet moved, he blocked in front of Agnus, separated him from the Pope, and turned back to give him a look, "I still have something to talk about with His Majesty the Pope, so don't stay in the way." That's what it means.
Agnas was naturally very dissatisfied with Credo's rude attitude, glared at him fiercely, and then directly scolded, "Credo, you guy, I haven't even said anything about you, you actually sent that kid named Nero to chase Dante." ”
Credo asked lightly, "What?" Is there anything wrong with this? ”
In Credo's opinion, there was nothing wrong with entrusting Nero with the task of pursuit, or rather, in the entire Order, this task was probably only capable of Nero.... But that's clearly not what Agnas thinks.
Although Nero is a member of their Order, that guy doesn't bird anyone else at all except for Gilliet, even Credor sometimes can't command him, so Nero is almost like a 'supernumerary' in the Order, and no one will tell him the secrets of the Order.
So Agnas seized on this and began to babble at Credo, "What problem do you ask me? That's a big problem! You you fool!
That kid hasn't even been given an ascension ceremony, how can you send him? What if my research device is seen? If he had told these uninformed believers... Can you imagine how serious the consequences will be after the aftermath?! ”
Looking at Agnus, who was too excited to speak, Credo only glanced at him faintly, and then didn't want to pay attention to this idiot anymore.
He did this, naturally he had his own thoughts, since Nero was not the core of the Order before, then wouldn't it be the end of making him the core of his own person now? asked Nero to hunt down Dante and Li Hao, he originally wanted Nero to know more things, and then prepare in advance for him to be promoted to a cadre of the Order.
He believed that Agnas could not see this clearly, but His Majesty the Pope would certainly be able to see it.
Sure enough, the Pope did see Credo's thoughts, but he didn't say anything directly, just sent Credo to gather the people in his headquarters, "Credo, you go and gather everyone, I have to reassure everyone." ”
"Yes!"
Credo got up and left, and the Pope turned his gaze back to Agnas.....
This old man can sit on the throne of the pope, and so many people can be attracted to serve him willingly, this way of the emperor and the degree of control over the personality of others, can definitely be called perfect.
For example, Credo is a bit old-fashioned and respectable, so if you want him to die, you need to praise him more in front of people, give him the most important tasks, and let him feel that His Majesty the Pope values him at all times.
And for a person like Agnus, he is not so 'loved', he is more in pursuit of a kind of 'unique', 'the death of a confidant' affirmation and love, for this kind of person, you need to secretly arrange tasks for him when only two people are present, so that he can fully understand that he will always be unique in the heart of His Majesty the Pope.
....................
At the foot of the mountain, the mining area.
Boom!
With a loud roar like a motorcycle twisting the accelerator, bursts of blazing fire suddenly appeared on the body of the giant sword in Nero's hand, burning the sword body into a crimson color!
Li Hao tilted his head and asked with interest, "Nero, are you going to race a motorcycle with me?" This throttle roar sounds quite exciting. ”
Nero sneered, "Huh... You'll be experiencing something even more exciting in no time! ”
Before the words fell, this guy rushed towards Li Hao, and at that moment, Li Hao saw it clearly, this guy first twisted the 'throttle' on the Crimson Empress, and after charging to the limit, he directly let it burst out in reverse!
In an instant, with the scarlet empress's flame impact propulsion, Nero's whole person rushed out along that force, really fast as a bullet, and instantly rushed in front of Li Hao!
Well!? At that moment, Li Hao's face changed a little.
Swish!
A scorching flame sword light swept out in an instant, and the fierce sword wind was mixed with the flames burst out by the Crimson Empress, and in just an instant, a large number of surrounding houses were torn apart and ignited, and even the iron street lamps on the side of the street couldn't withstand that kind of sword qi, and were cut off.... The flames generated by the Crimson Empress after charging are also extremely lethal, even the steel boulder can be burned in an instant, and the red molten iron is still dripping down from the broken lamppost on the side of the street!
"This mechanical sword..... It's really good, and you're using it very well. Li Hao commented.
Using the charge and burst of the sword itself to obtain faster speed and stronger attacks sounds like the same thing, but at that moment just now, Nero burst out with the help of the Crimson Empress, and even Li Hao couldn't help but be shocked.
To use the simplest comparison, when Li Hao first met Nero, if Nero's combat power was set to 5 at that time, then the combat power that he had improved after equipping the Crimson Empress was probably already 10! Nearly doubled the direct enhancement!
