Friends......

Hearing this title, Schroeder, who had been successfully promoted to the regional director, felt a tingle in his scalp, and he was having lunch when he looked at the seafood meal in front of him, and suddenly tasted like chewing wax. And the whole reason is just because of the name of this old friend......

"Old friend, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Yes...... Yes, I look forward to meeting you. ”

Gu Tao chuckled, how humble a person's attitude is to see how he answers the phone, when Schroeder answered Gu Tao's phone call before, he was still somewhat resistant, but as he traded more and more, more and more frequently, and the tail that he mastered became longer and longer, Schroeder's attitude became more and more respectful, and now he didn't even dare to resist Gu Tao even a look.

Now that he called, Schroeder bent down without thinking when he answered the phone, this attitude shows that his mentality has completely collapsed, although he still firmly believes that Gu Tao is a scumbag and a bastard, but his body can no longer disobey his orders, which is probably a kind of sadness.

"Heavenly Father, forgive me for my sins."

After agreeing to meet in Paris, Schroeder, who was in Germany, didn't have time to stay, so he left all his work and set off for Paris as soon as possible, and arrived at the location three hours before the agreed time, quietly waiting for Gu Tao's arrival.

At the appointed time, Gu Tao slowly walked in from outside, he saw Schroeder sitting at the predetermined table waiting for him, Gu Tao smiled and stepped forward: "Friend, have you been here for a long time?" ”

"No, I just arrived."

"That's good." Gu Tao gestured: "Please take a seat." ”

"I'm sorry to have you to make a trip so late." Schroeder said sincerely, counting the time difference, it was already the early morning of the East Eighth District: "I'm sorry." ”

"We're friends, friends, don't talk about this." Gu Tao raised his hand and called the waiter: "I'll invite this meal." ”

"No, no, no, there is an old saying in China, if you have friends from afar, you will be happy, so let me come."

"Okay, here you go."

Gu Tao was not polite at all, the French meal is still very good, and you can't swipe WeChat here, so you can only let Schroeder come.

Before eating, the two of them chatted for a while, anyway, those parents chatted a lot about international politics, and it was really like old friends meeting and chatting, but halfway through the meal, Gu Tao suddenly coughed.

Here he comes, here he comes!

Schroeder was startled, and he also stopped the knife and fork in his hand, staring at Gu Tao without moving.

"Friend, that's right." Gu Tao took a sip of red wine: "I want to investigate the situation of the awakening of the demon spirit in Europe a few days ago, and count the specific figures." ”

No! Wrong!!! Schroeder was very alert, he reacted immediately, others don't know if he can't know? The young man sitting in front of him looked very tender, but his black heart and thick skin were definitely old fox-level, he couldn't come to Europe in person just for such a simple thing, this guy was in a high position, to put it mildly, he was the underground emperor of the whole of Asia, although he hadn't reached out to Europe yet, but Schroeder thought that he would not be able to let go of this piece of fat.

That's why he said that he couldn't believe a punctuation mark when he said that he was investigating numbers.

"Well, I'll give you a detailed list as soon as possible, for you may not know that here in France is the Bloody Empress Mary, whose rag doll can be transformed into a beast that devours everything."

"You're talking about Angela, right?"

"Angela? Who is it? Schroeder was stunned for a moment: "No, no, there is no one named Angela." ”

Gu Tao rolled his eyes, and then thought for a moment: "What about you guys?" Germany. ”

"The Black Emperor, Lord of the Black Forest. Cain, Lord of Vampires. ”

"Vampires?" Gu Tao narrowed his eyes: "What is the danger rating?" ”

"No danger, Cain has been in Berlin all along, he owned a seventy-year-old sausage shop, and I used to eat sausages there when I was a child." Schroeder laughed: "My mother took me to Berlin to find my aunt, and I didn't expect that kind old man to be Cain." And the Black Emperor is now in the headquarters of our Knights, threatening the fourth level of Apple. ”

"Very well, what about the others?"

Gu Tao asked questions, but he just didn't cut to the point, which made Schroeder anxious but didn't dare to ask him, so he could only tell Gu Tao everything he knew like a Siri.

"It seems that Europe is also a big player, but what about the Americas?"

"We don't have comprehensive information on the Americas, but we do have it, but many of them followed the colonial ships a hundred or two hundred years ago, such as the Headless Horseman."

"The Headless Horseman must be handsome."

Eldest brother...... Big Guy...... Dad, can you just say what you want to do, I'm really anxious to go crazy here.

But Gu Tao didn't care about Schroeder's anxiety at all, he continued to drink red wine leisurely, eating the bloated fatty liver of greasy ornithischian goose ducks, with a strange expression on his face.

"Dear friend, please tell me directly if you want." Schroeder was already driven crazy: "Please. ”

Finally, Schroeder couldn't help it, he asked Gu Tao in an almost pleading way, and Gu Tao finally showed his signature business smile, put down the knife and fork and wiped his mouth gently: "Friend, what position are you now?" ”

"I'm already a regional director, and I was promoted to high priest last month."

"Your rank names are really irregular." Gu Tao shook his head: "Let me ask you a question." ”

"Please."

"Do you want to be a PAPA?"

Schroeder grew his mouth, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after he finally reacted, he asked in an incredulous tone: "You...... What do you say? ”

"I asked you if you wanted to be the Pope."

"Shhh...... Oh......"

Looking at Schroeder's expression, Gu Tao laughed: "You want to." ”

Who wouldn't want it, who wouldn't want to! It was the supreme power, not only in the hands of all the knights, but also in the hands of a huge religious organization, although the times are different, and the power of the Pope is far less than before, but the power hidden in the depths is still surging.

Power is a man's aphrodisiac, why so many people sacrifice their lives and forget to die for power, isn't it because it's so wonderful?

"But it's too hard." Schroeder shook his head silently: "Do you know, I am from a civilian background, and from my current position, I am already at the top, and it is impossible to move forward a little." ”

Gu Tao touched his chin: "It's not difficult, it's not easy to say, it's not easy to say, it mainly depends on whether you want to or not." ”

"Dear friend, can you give me some time......

Schroeder's hands trembled a little, he was now in a state of extreme chaos, because Gu Tao's words were light, but for him, this was actually playing with his life, if he failed or the matter was revealed, what was waiting for him was the burning of the Esoteric Sect, and even his family was not spared.

"Of course, how can I force a friend to make a choice, that's not enough for a friend." Gu Tao still had a smile on his face: "You think about it, contact me at any time, but it's best to hurry, there may be little time left for us." ”

"Understood."

"That's right." Gu Tao took out a note from his pocket: "This old saying is my favorite." Gone, farewell. ”

Ten minutes after Gu Tao left, Schroeder did not fully slow down, and finally when he slowed down, the food on the table was already cold, and he took the note with trembling hands, and there was only one line of beautiful handwritten Chinese on it-rich and dangerous.

In fact, for Gu Tao, as he said, it is not easy or difficult, pushing a priest with good roots to the position of papa, this is only divided into three steps, but these three steps are more accurate and in place is a test of fire and kung fu.

Now, the prelude must be neatly done, and if the prelude is omitted, it will not go very smoothly, and it will even hurt a little. As for Schroeder, whether he agrees or disagrees, in fact, it has little to do with the whole plan, after all, without him Schroeder, there will be Henry, Charlie, Wells, the reason why he was chosen is just because of acquaintances, Gu Tao doesn't want to spend too much time and cost to get to know someone again.

Of course, seeing Schroeder is only part of the prelude, Gu Tao now has a long list of European demon spirits in front of him, and he wants to find them one by one, yes...... It's just looking for the past one by one.

"Satania, combat module on standby."

"Understood, Captain. The combat module is on standby, the floating cannon is being activated. ”

Gu Tao nodded, tidied up his clothes, knocked on the door of an apartment, and soon there was a sound of broken footsteps in the dark room, and then the door was opened a crack, revealing a sneaky human face inside.

"Hello." Gu Tao showed a hideous smile, and then pressed a hand on the person's face and pressed him into the room: "I have something I want to tell you." ”

When he came out of the room, he looked back at the already trembling demon and straightened his tie: "Remember what I said, I will come back to you." ”

Then the second and third...... In the end, the Paris part was left with the bloody Empress who resembled Angela.

This guy may be more difficult to handle, Gu Tao decided to approach cautiously to avoid being sacrificed by her blood.

However, when he really saw Mary, Gu Tao was a little surprised, because this bloody empress was not bloody at all, but a little ...... Kind of surprisingly good speech.

"Is that so? Then please come in. After hearing Gu Tao's intention, the Blood Empress warmly invited him into her room.

Gu Tao walked in, and Mary poured him a cup of black tea: "I once went to the East, but I was beaten by Phoenix...... In Chinese, the pronunciation is probably biqingnianzong. ”

"You can't speak without a tone, the nose and the bruise are two completely different parts." Gu Tao raised his head: "You mean, have you ever been beaten by the phoenix?" ”
