Chapter 1725: Legends
Li Huailin still doesn't know what the current pope of the dark church is called, but fortunately, where his identity is, knowing the news of Li Huailin's personal arrival, the pope of the dark church here will soon come out to greet him.
Li Huailin looked the Pope of the Dark Church up and down, this guy is a little old, he looks about seventy years old, his body is relatively thin, and he seems to be a little unreliable, but his spirit is still very good. A set of dark gold robes all over the body, and then the head also wears a pope's crown like the light pope Carol, although it is said that it is a rival twice, but the taste in this regard is a little similar, because this crown is not the same except for the color, the overall style is really similar, and I don't know if the decoration in front of this is also a prop for some S-class mission.
I looked at the name of the Pope here, and it showed that it was Melder. Fisk. Rutledge, of course, is also shown to be red hostile. Seeing Li Huailin, Pope Rutledge here was really a little surprised, because after all, it was the first time to see Li Huailin's true face, so everyone would sigh at Li Huailin's youth, but he immediately put away his face, and bowed half a salute to Li Huailin, and said: "I don't know that His Majesty the Emperor of the Mainland is visiting, and I am not prepared, please forgive Your Majesty." β
"Don't you know? Didn't I make an announcement? Li Huailin asked.
"This ......" Ratledge on this side was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the two bishops next to him, Rogamp and Serrod, meaning why not tell me. Rogamp and Selrod also quickly returned their looks, indicating that we didn't know about it either.
At this moment, a priest of unknown rank next to him secretly leaned over and quietly handed Rutledge a golden scroll. Ratledge looked at it slightly, and his face changed, yes, this is the notice that Li Huailin asked Geert to send before. I've only just arrived here.
Rutledge still doesn't know if it's an internal mistake on his side that caused him to see this thing now, and of course he doesn't know that Li Huailin and the notice set off at the same time, and he arrived here one step ahead of the notice. Anyway, people really sent a notice, and you can't say that you are not prepared, and Ratledge here also took the lead in bowing his head and said: "Sorry, it seems that there is something wrong with my side." The notice was not delivered to me in time, and I would like you to apologize. β
"Forget it." Li Huailin waved his hand directly, "I've wasted a lot of time here, can I get to the point directly?" β
"I wonder what His Majesty is visiting?" Rartlich here asked, in fact, the notice here did not say what Li Huailin was here for, after all, Geert didn't know what was going on. However, Ratledge was a little weak-hearted, Li Huailin didn't come to them to ask for guilt. To be honest, it was intentional that Ratledge did not go to Li Huailin's enthronement ceremony in person, because they did not like Li Huailin, and this reason was said before. It's because Li Huailin killed the Pope of the Church of Light, then the whole Dark Church must not like him, and the favorability is already hatred, it can be said that if Li Huailin is not so powerful, he will directly kill Li Huailin here.
It's a pity that it really can't work, Li Huailin's current power is too great, although Ratledge wants to hack him to death now, but he doesn't dare to do it. Although their Dark Church is also the largest religious group on the mainland (along with the Church of Light), Li Huailin alone has the support of the six major powers. Plus with the support of the Church of Light, they can't deal with a Church of Light alone. Not to mention the power of the six great powers. So although Ratledge doesn't like it, it can even be said that he hates Li Huailin very much, but he can't help it now.
So what should Li Huailin do now to investigate the matter of the previous enthronement ceremony? Ratledge didn't think about it so much at the time, after all, Li Huailin, the emperor of the continent, was still uncertain how much authority he had when he ascended the throne, and he didn't know much about people's tempers, so he always felt that people would not make any radical moves when they first ascended the throne. The Dark Church is also a big force, and it should be tried to win it over when it just ascended the throne.
But what happened later made Rutledge a little worried. Because this Li Huailin really can't figure out what she is thinking, she has just ascended the throne, and she directly started working with the goddess of harvest. Although the church of the goddess of harvest is certainly not as big as their church in his eyes, it can be regarded as a big church, and people go to war directly. And the kind that comes to eradicate all the temples and go straight to death. On the other hand, the three small countries that did not participate in his enthronement ceremony also received a devastating blow, and Rutledge always felt that these things were played for him. And now that the performance is over, people will visit directly, which confirms his guess even more.
Although Ratledge here opened his mouth to ask Li Huailin's purpose, he already felt in his heart that it was the reason he thought. This time I'm definitely here to make myself clear. So while talking, I kept thinking about this rhetoric and countermeasures in my heart.
"Oh, I mainly have some questions on my side that I want to ask Pope Rutledge, but there are a little too many questions, can you sit down and talk about it first." Li Huailin said.
"It's rude." Ratledge here apologized again, and then made a gesture of invitation to Li Huailin here, and took Li Huailin to the small conference room in the church hall at the back, of course, most of the priests were invited away at this time, and the church knights were standing at the door except for a few, and the others had already been disbanded. There were only seven or eight people left in the entire conference room, and in addition to Ratledge, Rogamp, and Serrod, the others were also high-ranking priests.
Ratledge also deliberately chose a round table, regardless of what rank he had, and after taking his seats separately, Ratledge here asked Li Huailin again: "I don't know what Your Majesty is asking about this time?" β
"It's mainly about demons, and I really want to know what demons are all about." Li Huailin immediately asked.
"Huh?" Li Huailin's question was too unexpected for Rutledge, causing him to react for the first time, "Demon? β
"yes." Li Huailin nodded.
Rat Ledge here is brainstorming, Li Huailin's question is too unexpected for him, what is the problem demon thing at this time? Didn't you come to ask about the previous enthronement ceremony? Or is there something deep in it? Ratledge didn't understand what was going on with Li Huailin at all, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants to know about the demon." β
"It is said that the demon is the ancestor of the demon race?" Li Huailin asked.
"Of course." Ratledge here immediately confirmed that he was originally a member of the demon race, and the fact that the demon race is the descendant of the demon race is something that the whole demon clan agrees with, and of course he is proud of it.
"It is said that there was a war between the demons and the Protoss?" Li Huailin asked.
"That's a myth and legend, it is said that a long time ago, our ancestor demon clan occupied almost the entire continent, and then there was a battle with the god clan at that time, and the battle lasted for a long time, and it is said that the two sides are on par. Of course, this is just a legend, and there is no specific document about it. Rutledge replied.
"What happened after that, didn't you say that it was comparable? It seems that the demon clan is no longer there. Li Huailin immediately asked.
"Of course the demon clan exists, our demon clan is the descendant of the demon clan, and the demon god we believe in is the demon clan." Rutledge said immediately.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, "There are still people from the Demon Clan, and the Demon God is a member of the Demon Clan?" β
Speaking of the name of the Demon God, Li Huailin remembered one of his weapons called the two-handed sword of the Devouring God, although it has not been used frequently recently, but it is written that this is a weapon used by the Demon God before, but I didn't expect this Demon God to be a member of the Demon Clan.
"And what's going on with this demon god now?" Li Huailin thought for a moment and asked, "Are you still fighting against the Protoss?" β
"......" Li Huailin suddenly felt that the whole conference room was cold, and everyone looked at Li Huailin inexplicably, as if Li Huailin said something very ridiculous, but everyone held back and didn't dare to laugh.
"Your Majesty, you seem to have misunderstood, now the Demon God is also a member of the Protoss." Rutledge here immediately explained.
βWHATοΌ You say that the Demon God is also a member of the Protoss? Li Huailin was directly stunned, "Aren't they hostile?" β
"That's a legend." Ratledge here immediately explained, "As far as we know, His Majesty the Demon God has always been a member of the Protoss, and I also said before that the war between gods and demons is just a legend, and there is no literature at all, so it may be just a novel story that the previous people came up with for YY, and the demon gods we worship have always been gods." Rutledge said immediately.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was directly stunned, why was it not the same as he imagined, and he thought that he had found some race that was against the Protoss, but he asked if he was a member of the Protoss?
"That's not right." Li Huailin suddenly remembered that this task was coming, isn't this mission a god enemy, how did he find a member of the God Clan? Is there anything else he didn't ask clearly, after thinking about it, Li Huailin asked again: "Is there a record of this here?" Didn't you say there was a legend? Legends are also documented. β
"There is no formal literature, but there are some literature that resembles stories." "Your Majesty, if you want to see it, go to our archives and look for it." (To be continued.) )
