In between prayers, Sigma and Clement looked at each other, the air around them surging uneasily, as the power of death and the light of the Light were in an invisible and qualitative confrontation.

The Acting Pope stood silently like a sculpture, his face was full of waves, no one knew what he was thinking, Clement glanced at Sigma slowly, his eyes flashed with a light that no one could understand, and finally shook his head gently, his eyes quickly covered with cold indifference: "Hmph...... What do you know? ”

"Yes, I don't understand anything, I'm just a young man full of strange thoughts and ridiculous persistence, relying on his talent and ability to act recklessly." Sigma looked at Clement with pity and sorrow in her eyes, "but even so, I still cling to my childish and ridiculous thoughts...... If I became like you old guys when I was young, then I would be a little too pitiful in my life. ”

The necromancer's taunt was not exchanged for the acting pope's ridicule, and when Clement heard this, he actually showed a smile and nodded: "That's true...... Stick to your own path, not be swayed by worldly opinions, follow the call of your heart, go all the way, and be firm and stubborn, only in this way can you be promoted to a legend, and you are doing the right thing. ”

Sigma's expression moved, and she looked at the acting pope: "You mean, you are also promoted to legend in this way?" ”

Clement shook his head and smiled, "Don't take my word for it, cunning boy...... Be attentive when talking to you. ”

He glanced at the necromancer and said lightly, "That's it...... It seems that there will be no substantive breakthrough in today's dialogue between us. In that case, then I will take my leave. Youngster. May you succeed in following your path...... But it's unlikely, I'm just polite. ”

The necromancer was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and walked over to Clement, and together they pushed open the door, and between the prayers, they walked into the cloisters of the Papal Palace, their expressions becoming calm and relaxed, and no longer the tension of the moment - it looked like a pair of old friends, but what was the actual relationship, what was the result. Only the two themselves knew.

But there is no doubt that the invisible confrontation is still going on.

Even after the declaration of war that had just almost torn their faces, the two pretended guys still did not tear the last disguise, because they both had each other's concerns, and they continued to watch, probe, and lay out, fighting for their own advantages...... Because no matter which side it is, there is no perfect chance of winning now.

And what's worse is ...... Sigma didn't have a bottom in his heart. In fact, he was seventy or eighty percent sure that Clement had absolutely nothing to do with this matter, but he did not have absolute substantive evidence, let alone the certainty of a complete victory. Clement also seems to be aware of Sigma's concerns, so he speaks ambiguously, no matter how tempting Sigma is. He didn't let go, and he wouldn't say out loud things like "I'm the mastermind".

What a nasty guy...... .

But even so. It doesn't matter if Clement is really innocent. The arrangements that Sigma had done so far were so beneficial and harmless that they could not hurt the Acting Pope in the slightest, but if he was really as Sigma had guessed......

Thinking of this, the necromancer smiled with a sinister smile, full of evil implications.

Clement sensed the endless stream of malice coming from him, almost turning into substance, and squinted his eyes and said, "What are you laughing at?" And it's so disgusting, what kind of headache conspiracy is being planned? ”

Sigma couldn't wait for him to talk, but when he heard this, he smacked his mouth and smiled embarrassedly: "Is it disgusting to laugh?" I'm sorry, but I seem to have been infected by the paralyzed faces of the necromancers, and I haven't been laughing quite right lately...... You have to believe that my smile just now is a happy smile from the bottom of my heart, and I am happy for you and the Holy See. ”

Although he knew that Sigma had bad intentions, Clement asked curiously, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

"Didn't you just say that? You ask if I am stirring up trouble and making a big news story on the entire continent, causing good people from all over the continent to rush to Cloudsdale to fight side by side with the priests...... I confessed and explained that I had good intentions, and it seems that you have agreed with this statement and thanked me. Sigma smiled even brighter, "So the misunderstanding between us has been cleared up, and this matter is purely a great thing, the prestige of the Holy See has risen, and Cloudsdale has received public and substantial assistance...... What a joy to be! ”

Hearing this shameless remark, Clement sneered: "I just said that I was afraid of this. ”

"I'm talking nonsense!" Sigma actually admitted it shamelessly, and then his voice was a little louder, "You are not the magician in that fable, how can you be afraid of such a thing!" ”

…… It's a blunt twist, it's as blunt as the plot twist of a novel written by someone.

Clement sneered in his heart, and then saw Sigma's face full of words like "Come and ask me what the so-called fable and magician are all about", and he was amused and decided to ignore him.

Sigma waited for a moment, and found that the acting pope was not cooperative, so he deliberately asked: "You must want to know what is going on with the magician in the fable, then let me tell you about it......"

Clement said lightly: "No, I have read more fables in my life than you have read in yellow books, and I don't want to know." ”

Sigma was shocked, "You've actually read more than three thousand nine hundred and seventy-two parables!" ”

…… I remember so well, you bad guy!

“…… Ah, since you don't want to hear it, I'll tell the big sisters of the Papal Palace. Sigma shook her head and took two steps back regretfully, "Then I'll take my leave......"

…… Really let him tell the story to the papal chamberlain, I don't know how many strange things to say, Clement thought to the light, and also wanted to confirm what this slut wanted to do, so he snorted lightly.

Sigma interprets the word "hum" as "fart quickly".

Of course, it is interpreted as "people, people don't want to hear it, they don't want to hear it at all." If you tell someone about it, they will never be lonely." Yes, too, but ...... It seems disgusting.

The necromancer smiled slightly: "The fable is like this...... A circus on the verge of disbanding in order to attract popularity. The head of the regiment decided to go out himself, and after a few days of hard thinking, he invented several magic tricks with his dexterous and quick hands and excellent imagination, and declared that it was a magic show - magic, you know, it was not some supernatural power, but only a visual deception, clever design, and other factors that deceived the human naked eye and achieved a seemingly mysterious effect in a non-magical way......"

Clement nodded. Meaning he understands what a magician is.

"The show was a success...... No one had ever seen such a magical feat, and the so-called magic show was a huge hit and the circus, which was on the verge of disbanding, was revitalized. People are fanatical about this and enthusiastic about it, and they are convinced of the master's magic performances and mage status...... For people in small places, seeing the magic performance of a mage is an almost unimaginable experience, and people enjoy it. ”

As a result, the circus master gained a great deal of wealth and fame, and more and more people came to see the performances. Performances are always extraordinarily successful, and a virtuous circle has been created as a result...... The audience spread the word of mouth, and the fame spread far and wide, attracting more viewers to come. Come and watch the magic of the mage-sama. ”

"But gradually...... The circus director was scared. ”

Because the situation has exceeded imagination, because he knows in his heart that the so-called magic. It's fake, it's stunt...... Viewers in small places can't tell the real thing. But more viewers come to visit, and there will always be someone who discovers his secret. Unmasking his tricks proves that this is a trick of deception rather than true magical power. ”

"At that point, he will become a liar, and the qiē he has gained will collapse with a bang in the most complete way...... This qiē only needs a person who understands the truth to expose all his tricks in front of everyone, and can knock his qiē, the circus he wants to protect, and his qiē efforts so far, all into a place of no return. ”

"So...... He was frightened, especially when he realized that this qiē was being manipulated behind the scenes, that someone was trumpeting the magic of his magic performance in the surrounding towns, villages and even cities, attracting more people to come and watch it, and after learning this, he went from fear to hysteria, and he felt that someone was calculating him. ”

"Because if this qiē is a well-planned trap, then the person who manipulates this qiē undoubtedly holds his lifeline, his weakness, his life and death, and his qiē."

Sigma turned his head, looked at Clement's impassive face, and smiled lightly: "Acting Pope, can you guess the end of this story?" In the most splendid theater in the most prosperous city, in front of thousands of spectators, from the bishops of the diocese to the noble nobles, from the high mages and jealous peers, he began his show at the most glorious and high-profile moments of the life of the circus master...... Can you guess, what's going on? ”

Clement was silent for a moment, and then laughed: "Does this kind of fable have a fixed ending?" Judging from my reading of more than 3,972 parables, such fables usually have an open-ended ending, with different endings depending on the intention of the person who made up the parable. Perhaps it was the circus director who adhered to his determination to revitalize the circus and completed a more brilliant and perfect performance with excellent will, or perhaps he admitted his mistakes, but was recognized and encouraged, and finally developed magic into an art......"

He glanced at Sigma and said indifferently: "According to the intentions of the mastermind behind the scenes, the ending of the fable will also have a different direction. If the man who spreads the fame of the circus is a rival who is jealous of the leader, the fable will end with the man being beaten and punished. If the man behind the scenes, a dumb man with a strange mind and ridiculous insistence, who felt that the circus director's actions were a shameful deception to everyone, and felt that he was obliged to reveal his despicability, would have done such a thing, then what would have happened...... Hmph, it's up to Sigma to think about it. ”

"yes, that's right." Sigma nodded, "But the harsh reality is not the same as the language that is made up, the Acting Pope. Fables will have different endings for various reasons, but the reality does not have so many ifs, not so many beautiful, not so simple and simple...... Maybe sometimes, it won't end up all you want. ”

He smiled deeply: "Do you believe in fate? Do you believe that there is a Father and God? I believe. I believe that in the world created by God the Father, in this world that He gazes on, there are often miraculous things to look forward to, so that this cold and lonely world is not completely enveloped by cruel laws...... Just as the Holy See of Light adheres to the idealistic creed of a little silly in the eyes of the world, just like the clergy who take it as their mission to meddle in their affairs and guard world peace, so stupid religious organizations that hinder the pleasure and wealth of those in power and rulers can actually stand for hundreds of years without falling, but are getting stronger and stronger, as the ruler of the Holy See, can you answer what is going on? ”

The necromancer looked at Clement and smiled, "Would you rather attribute this luck to the strategy of the popes and the unity of the clergy, or to the mercy and joy of the Father?" ”

Clement couldn't laugh anymore.

Sigma still had a mysterious smile on his face, but he was greatly relieved...... Pressing like this, digging holes and spitting hard, he finally completely overpowered Clement in this verbal confrontation.

He finally left a small rift in the almost flawless spiritual defense line of the legendary powerhouse.

This is his way of fighting...... The opponent is unprecedentedly strong, not only has an overwhelming strength advantage, but also has a home field advantage and extremely high prestige, and the right time and place are on the enemy's side, so it is necessary to persevere in seeking a flaw, expand a qiē advantage, and then ...... Fight the final showdown.

"Please wait and see how it will end up." Sigma took a few steps back, smiled gracefully, bowed, raised his head, and smiled brightly, "Since the Acting Pope has finished listening to the fable, I will take my leave...... Next, let's tell this story to the big sisters. ”

Turning to leave, Sigma sensed a fleeting murderous aura behind him.

He smiled triumphantly.
