Chapter 402: Helpless Orpheus
Seeing Alan scolding in public, and everyone pretending not to hear, Hachas frowned slightly.
The Great Pope is still sitting in the first place and watching, but this guy Allen is burping and scolding, is he standing up? Or is it in defiance of the Holy See?
And with so many Terran generals, no one dares to fight back, is Allen more deterrent than the Great Pope?
In fact, Hachas was misunderstood, not all the Terran generals present were very afraid of the Bloodhoof Tribe.
It's just an ordinary normal person, who would be willing to provoke a mad dog, for the Bloodhoof Tribe, not to mention whether they can afford to offend, that is, they can afford to offend, and in the end they don't please themselves, and these Terran generals don't think that they are more powerful than the Holy Mountain, I didn't look at the Bloodhoof tribe after hitting the Holy Mountain that day, and now they are still doing what they should do as if they are nothing.
However, I have to admit that after the Bloodhoof tribe showed its fangs in the battle against Beamon, all forces had to put away their contempt.
If Allen's label was the number one waste nobleman in the Rock Kingdom before, and then he debuted under the name of the Son of Chaos, but now, everyone only sees the Bloodhoof Tribe Chieftain, this Bloodhoof Chieftain with great achievements.
Many people thought that the Bloodhoof tribe under Allen's command was no matter how proud its record was, no matter how well-equipped it was, and no matter how many masters it had, after all, it was just a barbarian tribe of less than a thousand people.
However, the great counteroffensive battle four days ago made everyone completely understand the true strength of the Bloodhoof Tribe.
The use of sophisticated equipment, a luxurious battle lineup that was instantly displayed, joint operations and other tactics, the Bloodhoof tribe has proved with facts that sometimes the number does not determine everything, your allies fight Beamon, but also rely on the number of people, our Bloodhoof tribe to fight, no need to gang up, rely on money, equipment, and brains!
The Great Pope was unimpressed by Allen's rude behavior, he knew that this guy was not here to stand up, but that this guy's personality was a hanging.
On the way to the two before, this guy didn't know anything, he hiccups all the way, and he didn't hide this vulgar behavior at all.
And the Great Pope Monrosa couldn't figure it out, how could a guy who singled out a fourth-order dragon and not fall behind be considered an extreme powerhouse, but then again, the extreme powerhouse could still eat too much and burp?
However, the Great Pope is quite envious of Allen, and he doesn't know when he will be able to burp hard in front of everyone.
Alan not only hiccuped, but also farted.
However, this guy has good acting skills, and when he saw that everyone was paying attention to him, he looked at Hachas with disgust.
Hachas shook his head and smiled bitterly, the huge black cauldron was all back, and it was not bad for this one.
Alan secretly cursed the great wizard Tatar in his heart, and the guy said that it was a shield that could restore the magic of the ancient elements, and fed him a bowl of black herbs, and now his stomach is still uncomfortable.
After glaring at Allen with a slight pretense, the Grand Pope asked in a deep voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any doubts about the order given by Hachas?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, no one wanted to be the first bird, the question was certain, the problem was not daring to say.
It's okay to complain and complain in front of Hachas, but in front of the archpope, it's better to be excused.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Alan hugged his arms to watch the excitement, and his eyes wandered back and forth unscrupulously, only to find Archmage Downey sitting in the corner.
Restraining his hippie smile, the restless Alan walked up to Archmage Downey and said respectfully: "Old man, why are you sitting here, boy, I just saw you and greeted you." ”
Archmage Donnie was relieved, smiled and stretched out his hand, looking around, a little unaccustomed to being the center of attention.
Alan quickly crouched down so that Archmage Downey could pat him on the shoulder.
Princess Hathaway behind Archmage Downey smiled like a flower, and her smart eyes winked at Alan.
Originally, a group of people lowered their heads and didn't want to be the first bird, but after hearing the noise, they looked at Alan again, and saw that Archmage Downey really had blue eyes for this guy, and many people's evaluation of the Bloodhoof Tribe was raised a lot again.
"Silence and let His Majesty Monrosa take care of the matter." Donnie whispered.
Alan nodded, grinned and stood behind Archmage Downey, and began to gently squeeze the old man's shoulder.
Seeing a group of people looking at themselves secretly, he was secretly complacent.
Hehe, in a few days, Lao Tzu will let people go out against the wind, the two major holy steps on the mainland, one has blue eyes for himself, and the other is beaten by the elders of his own tribe and flies around the mountain, see who will dare to offend Lao Tzu in the future.
The scene of Alan pinching Archmage Downey's shoulder was always unpleasant for Claire to see, but knowing that he Alan was also for his good, he was just deliberately making a gesture to show everyone, to put it bluntly, just to get rid of him, although he wanted to cover it up.
Now that the Bloodhoof tribe is famous on the mainland, Alan himself is always in trouble, if he doesn't want to get into trouble in the future, he will have to bring trouble to his cheap father, after all, Claire is the grand duke of the Locke Kingdom, and every move represents the Locke Kingdom, and many times he can't help himself.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the Great Pope continued to speak loudly: "If anyone doubts it, you can raise it now, if there is no question, follow the orders of Hachas, and the major legions will withdraw after they are ready, and I have our own reasons for the Holy Mountain." ”
The Great Pope thought that after he made a final decision, he would let Orpheus talk to everyone about related matters, and he also got up and prepared to leave, but suddenly noticed that Alan was patting Downey Archmage there, and he couldn't help but think that this guy was not thin-skinned, and he knew that he was looking for a backer.
Thinking of this, the Great Pope was suddenly shocked in his heart, and suddenly recalled that when Alan had talked to him before, he said that now that the Holy See is about to deviate from morality, if the high-pressure exploitation of all forces continues, without the demon clan calling, the human race itself will be in chaos first.
Winning the hearts and minds of the people is the primary importance of the Holy See today.
Looking up, sure enough, most of the Terran generals and envoys showed a look of daring to be angry but did not dare to speak, but when they saw themselves looking at them, they restrained their anger and lowered their heads.
The Great Pope, who had already stood up half of his body, was very entangled between his eyebrows, and finally sat back in his seat.
This move filled everyone's hearts with surprise, you must know that in the past, the Great Pope was never happy, and he was always that mysterious and unpredictable appearance.
Who knew that what surprised everyone even more was still to come.
The Grand Pope sighed slightly and said: "After this battle, the allies and vassal countries can indeed be called laborious and wealthy, and the soldiers under his command have died countless battles, so 。。。。。 Therefore the Holy Mountain has decided that the major dioceses will exempt you from 10% of your territory. Twenty percent of the religious tax. ”
As soon as the Great Pope's words fell, everyone present was shocked, and immediately began to exchange their heads.
Even Hachas was surprised, it was obvious that the Grand Pope had made a temporary decision and had not consulted him beforehand.
Hachas seemed to have something to say, and after being pulled by Orpheus, he shook his head slightly, and then gave up.
Alan almost didn't laugh out loud when he noticed this.
Hachas's IQ is not running away from home, fortunately, Orpheus pulled him, if he really let Hachas mess up this matter, it is estimated that the Great Pope can directly send him to the gallows to be roasted alive, the Great Pope has changed to a gentle strategy, but it does not mean that he will be merciful to those who question him.
However, the Great Pope Monrosa is a very fast learner, and he just clicked on him so casually a few days ago, and he immediately learned to buy people's hearts.
After the archpope said in public that he could exempt the major dioceses from 20% of the religious tax, Archmage Downey began to show surprise, and Claire glanced at Alan thoughtfully.
Princess Hathaway frowned slightly, she didn't know what the Holy See had in mind, and it was possible to exempt two percent of the religious tax for the first time, what bad could it be?
Twenty percent of the religious tax may not seem like much, but when all the towns of the major powers are added together, it is a considerable wealth.
The Holy See was able to become the overlord of the southern hinterland of the continent, in addition to the fact that there were two major legions and countless Extreme Dao masters sitting in the Holy Mountain, the most important reason was that it was rich, and it was very rich.
Where does the money come from? Of course, the harsh religious tax, as well as the gold coins voluntarily donated to the Holy See by some wealthy families.
If you have money, you can attract talents, and if you have talents, you can go out and bully people, and if you bully people, others will be afraid of you, and if you are afraid, you will have to give you money as protection money.
The Holy See has basically formed a standardized mode of accumulating money, so that it can always control the various vassal states and firmly sit in the position of the overlord of the human race.
After all, there are hundreds of millions of followers of the Holy Father on the mainland, and the collection of religious taxes by one person is enough for the daily expenses of the Holy See, and the armed soldiers are more than enough.
The Grand Pope tapped lightly on the table, and everyone in the Hall of the Holy Father shut up.
Everyone looked at the Great Pope suspiciously, and found that the other party's expression was serious, not like a joke at all, although they were surprised in their hearts, and their faces were quite moved, but they showed puzzlement, and everyone's expressions were varied.
The Grand Pope glanced at Orpheus, beckoned to Hachas, and the two left the Hall of the Holy Father one after the other.
As soon as the two left, the Hall of the Holy Father suddenly began to be noisy again.
Orpheus sat in the first place, watching coldly, but his heart was full of helplessness.
As soon as my father left, everyone began to quarrel again, and although he was the Holy Son of the Holy See, he was less than one-twelfth of his father's prestige.
Do you really have to be like my father, decisive and ruthless to make everyone respect me?
Orpheus was lost in thought, but he maintained a look of neither joy nor sorrow, as if he was not at all indifferent to the outside world.
Alan was a little distressed when he saw it, no matter how mature and smart Orpheus was, after all, he was just a minor child, with the title of Holy Son, but he was more tired than anyone else.
