Chapter 36: She's Like Irette

Saint or Pope?

Erquilo took a deep breath, his face showing surprise and joy without any disguise! At this moment, he remembered the surrender of his faith to the cardinal who had not left the papal office for thirteen years, writing a book without any ambition, in front of the Cathedral of Egustín.

Now that Haige Yasu can have such an achievement, can I, as the godson of Haige Yasu, Erquilo, climb up to another level? ? The Duke of Werewolf, perhaps the Prince who stands at the center of power in the future.

The delusional werewolf duke may have forgotten that only a few people in the history of the Noxian Empire have been named princes of the opposite sex, such as Prince Nokopanser, but how many people in history can have the wisdom and power of Prince Nokopanser, which is almost demonic? He, the Duke of Werewolf, was no match for Nokopanser in that respect.

St. Leston glanced at Elquilo and ignored it. Not to mention that Elquiro is just a mere werewolf duke, even if this silver-haired werewolf duke becomes a prince, it is not enough for him to look up, and St. Leston, who stands above all beings, will always look down with his head down, and occasionally have very few opportunities to look at each other. After all, how many Burnhams can there be in this world, how many popes and patriarchs can there be?

The huge ambition in his eyes is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of some! Elquilo didn't know, and he didn't dare to capture what he wanted like a politician in the eyes of the First Dark Giant, he could only honestly fantasize about the conversation between the godfather Hygoa and General Burnham in the confessional field.

Hope all the best.

――――

The conversation in the confessional ground will definitely surprise everyone.

A man who is called a heretic but is very contradictory and is widely regarded as the most devout priest of the Holy See, and the other is the tyrannical and unstoppable tyrant General Burnham, the conversation between the two men should be regarded as a conversation between a knife and a gun, very contradictory and unpredictable.

There was no sound of a clash of words or words in the confessional, just some very bland conversations.

"I'm about to see God, Jacka Silk, I have a request. I hope that after I leave this world, you will pray to God for me, is that okay? These were the first words that Elquiro and Saint Leston had said when they left their confessional words to the Hygea, and there was no sigh or sadness in the words, only a pair of eyes that had been dull about life and death.

Known for his wisdom, Hai Ge Ya Su looked calm and said, "General Burnham, I don't like to joke. Well, if you see God one step before me, I will pray to God and bless you with peace and happiness in heaven. ”

Burnham smiled. Touched the very smooth and black long hair, the age of Burnham is like this, and Burnham is the only one who still maintains this long black and soft hair!

Seeing through the doubts in Hai Ge Yashu's eyes at a glance, General Burnham sighed softly: "Half a year ago, I have asked the most famous astrologer in the Valoran continent, Sakhei, to divinate for me, I do only have one month left to live, as for my appearance, if you have a father who has been studying the mysteries of eternal life, maybe he will be like me!" ”

Hai Ge Yasu glanced deeply at Burnham, looked at the old man who was not afraid of death at all, and sighed softly, "General Burnham." You should be more fit to be a priest than what you have achieved in power! I see in your eyes the fearlessness and obedience to death that I do not see in many members of the Holy See, who are best suited to be the apostles of the Lord. ”

Burnham had a hint of nostalgia on his face. "Before following my father, Prince Nocoppenser, to St. Peter's City, my greatest dream was to become a whitecoat, but unfortunately I met the Darkwell family and my wife Irett, so I had to follow God's will and go to the path of power," he said. ”

"I have hatred, hatred, greed, jealousy, anger, resentment, pride. I have already committed four of the seven deadly sins recorded in the Castle in the Sky: gluttony, greed, laziness, jealousy, pride, anger, and lust, so how can I be qualified to be with God for a long time? Hai Ge Ya Crisp. You say that if the heart forgives oneself, then God will forgive others, but if the heart is obsessed, will God choose to help me continue to cling? Burnham's eyes clarified, and he asked as he looked at Hai Ge Yasu, who looked like a devout believer.

"I will forgive all the sinners of the world, and cross them to the other side of heaven, saith the Lord! But only if they forgive their sins first can they receive my forgiveness! This is a quote from "Sacred Immortal". "Sacred Immortal", written by Hai Ge Yasu himself, naturally knew the meaning of Burnham's words, sighed softly, and said very solemnly: "Sin returns to darkness, and good thoughts go to light!" I'm sorry General Burnham, I can't answer your question, maybe it will only be answered after you go to God, but personally, I support your persistence! ”

Every devout believer has an attachment in his heart, either simply to God, or to love for his family, or to the yearning for peace, or to the disgust of suffering! Or obsessed with the love of a lover, and so on! ”

Burnham smiled slightly, there was no cunning in his smile when facing politicians, only a pure sincerity, sitting in the chair, Burnham held his hands on his cane, and sighed softly: "Hai Ge Yasu, this is the most beautiful word I have heard recently, maybe I will never hear such beautiful words in the years to come!" ”

For Burnham in front of him, Haige Yasu didn't know what to say about it. The identity of the godfather? Perhaps such an identity would make Burnham, the most honorable man in Noxus, laugh secretly.

The two sat opposite each other for a long time.

Hai Ge Yasu looked at Burnham and suddenly asked, "General Burnham, do you have any regrets or repentance?" ”

Burnham shook his head: "Not now!" Taking a deep breath, Burnham looked at Hai Ge Ya Su and asked, "Hai Ge Ya Su, can I ask you a question?" ”

Hai Ge Ya Su nodded.

"You have always regarded me as your worst enemy, is it because Oyesura, with my support, has snatched the papal crown that belongs to you, a symbol of sacredness?" Burnham asked curiously.

Ma Haige Yasu shook his head without any hesitation, and said: "Even if I went to fight for the papal crown, the papal seat would not be mine. Of the six cardinal archbishops, there are at least four who are more qualified to sit on the papal seat than I am, and I, as the youngest cardinal, have no qualifications to compare with them. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, I am only one step away from the papal crown. But I knew for myself that I was at least two or three steps away from that position. ”

"But why did you spend thirteen years in the Papal Office? Is it because you are discouraged? ”

"No, because I wanted to write a book, and the book was already out - Sacred Immortal! 》”

"Can you tell me why?"

"Because I want to challenge you!" Hai Ge Ya Su said very calmly.

Burnham also behaved very calmly, chuckling and chuckling: "A copy of "Divine Immortal", even if he makes you a saint of the Holy See, then how can you challenge me? Is it because you have the final right to interpret "Sacred Immortal"? ”

He was still very calm, ignoring the sarcasm in General Burnham's words, and said softly: "The book "Holy Immortal" may make me a saint of the Holy See after death, but it is not enough to compete with you, who control the power of the Noxian Empire, but it can allow me to do a lot of things. For example, to restore the legitimacy of the Noxian Empire! ”

Hearing this, Burnham was stunned, looked at Hai Ge Yasu and asked in disbelief, "Is it because of this matter that you chose to be my enemy?" ”

Hai Ge Yasu nodded: "You can't deny that the death of Nicocage the Great has nothing to do with you!" ”

Instead of answering the question, Burnham asked rhetorically, "So you want to support Kiris, the last heir of the Nicocage Emperor?" ”

Hai Ge Ya Su didn't nod, but it was a tacit acquiescence.

The unbridled smile of General Burnham came from the confessional ground, and Erquilo and St. Leston, who were standing outside the confessional ground, heard this unbridled smile. Elquilo was a little flustered, he was worried about his godfather.

General Burnham's indispensable character among the noxus nobility has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, otherwise he would not have oppressed the two empire's five major families, the Rotonchild family and the Constantine family, to the point where he has not recovered until now.

Although the Godfather has the strength of a magical sage. But General Burnham, who came from an army background and whose strength was unfathomable, was not necessarily inferior.

What happened in the room was very different from what Elquiro had imagined from the start, with no sacred conversations, just simple ordinary exchanges. Later developments were also very different from Elquilo's imagination and did not start a fight. It's a heartfelt word.

Burnham stared at the most devout priest of the Holy See in front of him, and sighed softly, "Do you know why I adopted Kiris? ”

Haige Yasu shook his head, he didn't know.

Burnham gave a surprise but expected answer. "Maybe part of it is because of the guilt of Nicocage the Great, after all, Nicocage the Great is the first person who believes in me, an ordinary civilian of the Noxian Empire! For this, I am willing to spend the rest of my life persevere for the rise of the Noxian Empire. Do everything in one's power. But the reason for adopting Her Royal Highness Princess Kirise Stuart is simply because she resembles my wife Irett so much! ”

"For the sake of Nikocage the Great, I am willing to dedicate myself to Noxus; And for Irett's sake, I am willing to destroy all of Valoran for him, and I also want to give Valoran to her! ”

On one side, Haigea Su looked at Burnham for a long time, then stood up and whispered, "Thank you, General Burnham!" Leave it to me, Princess Kiris, if she gives me the faith of the Empire, then I will use my faith to protect her Empire! ”

Burnham stood up and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me why?" ”

"General Burnham, perhaps you have forgotten that when Emperor Nikocage summoned you, a priest dressed in an ordinary sacrificial robe knocked over a precious court vessel, but was forgiven by the Emperor. ”

Burnham was stunned, silent and pondered for a long time, he looked at the sky and sighed softly: "Maybe Nicocage the Great is not the wisest emperor of the Noxian Empire, but he is the emperor who impresses the subjects of the Noxian Empire the most, his benevolence and wisdom may win the entire Valoran Continent for his daughter, who knows??"
