Chapter 1221: Against the Current
"Your Majesty, your pet is really peculiar, I have never seen or even heard of such a thing. He walked over and sat down, opposite the Pope.
Tian Xian's attention was almost all on the strange creature, because as soon as he saw the Pope and this thing just now, Tian Xian immediately felt an alarm, and the energy tentacles quickly poked out to investigate.
The result was a surprise to Tianxian.
The Pope's outfit today is not for nothing, in his outfit, Tian Xian felt amazing energy fluctuations in at least sixteen places, and they were all the kind of inducing but not triggering, which was much more precious than those props that simply had great power but could not be effectively controlled.
Even the buttons on the pope's robe are not ordinary, after careful investigation, Tian Xian found that although each of them does not have particularly powerful energy fluctuations, but the laws of energy fluctuations are complementary to each other, this is likely to be some powerful formation gem, directly inlaid on the robe as a button, it is also a luxury.
However, even so, Tian Xian didn't have the heart to pay too much attention to what powerful treasure the Pope was carrying, because that strange creature was the most surprising.
This thing can't be detected!
It's as if when Theros attacked Tianxian at that time, the other eleven people in disguise couldn't be detected with their energy tentacles, and Tianxian's energy tentacles were directly bounced away before they reached out.
And Tian Xian saw it very definitely, the eyes of this creature showed a faint disdain, and it seemed to be very disdainful of Tian Xian's exploration.
Can this thing feel energy tentacles?
Tian Xian couldn't believe it, if there was anyone in the current Holy Spirit Temple's rulers who could directly feel the energy tentacles, and even react to it, it wasn't very strange that Tian Xian was idle, after all, they were at least two thousand years old monsters.
But such a beast can also feel the energy tentacles, and even bounce the energy tentacles back, which is a bit nonsense, isn't it?
And, what's the deal with that disdainful look?
Tian Xian scratched his chin and asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty, we have a lot of important things to talk about today, why do you bring a pet with you? Is it to show friendship and want to give it to me?"
Without waiting for the Pope to speak, Tian Xian took care of himself and commented on that thing, "Your Majesty, I naturally appreciate your kindness, but this thing ...... Let's not talk about the use, this appearance is really a little sorry for the residents of Fire Leaf City, if everyone knows that the Pope actually gave Fire Leaf City a pile of fat meat, it will be too embarrassing, don't you say?"
As he spoke, Tian Xian casually picked up a piece of preserved fruit from the table and threw it directly to the thing.
The preserved fruit fell onto the thing's head, and the unknown creature roared in anger and stood up on all fours.
Tianxian was slightly startled, this thing couldn't be seen crawling there, and when he stood up, he found that it was extremely tall, and its limbs were so slender and strong, and it was almost a person tall.
"Sit down......" the Pope whispered.
The creature stared at Tian Xian with a threatening gaze, and then slowly crawled down unwillingly, but a pair of eyes still looked at this side, and the hostility became more obvious.
Tian Xian frowned slightly, this unknown creature seemed to be very not simple, at least it had absolute high intelligence, and its eyes actually revealed complex emotions like human beings, from the initial disdain and contempt, to the anger and murderous intent just now.
A leopard would never have that in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it seems that I have provoked it, won't you tell me about it? ”
There was not the slightest smile on the Pope's face, nor the slightest anger, like a hard stone, and he said firmly: "Dear Archduke, I advise you not to provoke him any more, it will not do you any good, sometimes it will not do me what I want, and I do not have enough strength to control it completely." ”
As he spoke, two cold lights shot out of the Pope's eyes, stabbing straight at Tian Xian's face.
"Really?" exclaimed Tianxian, "Then why don't you put it on a chain or put it in a cage, otherwise it's too dangerous, Your Majesty, are you going to give me this kind of thing? I am responsible for the personal safety of the inhabitants of Fire Leaf City." ”
The Pope finally couldn't help it, and his eyebrows trembled twice because of anger, "Dear Archduke, I never said that I would send you something, I hope you don't misunderstand." ”
Tian Xian blinked, "Oh...... So, why are you bringing this here? Is this ......?"
After a slight pause, a meaningful smile appeared in Tianxian's eyes, "This thing...... Is it also a bargaining chip?"
"Yes, Honorable Archduke!" the Pope took a deep breath, "to be honest, I didn't expect that one day I would need to ask him to intervene to solve the problem, which has never happened in the past two thousand years. ”
Two thousand years...... Tian Xian looked at that thing again, which means that this thing is at least two thousand years old?
The Holy Spirit Temple is really full of wonders, even those who dominate, and now there are even stranger things, not only can people live for two thousand years, but now even beasts can be.
He was vigilant in his heart, but Tianxian's face was still relaxed, he sat there steadily, hugged his arms lightly, and said indifferently: "Okay, Your Majesty, then let's go straight to the topic, it seems that you have made sufficient preparations today, and we can continue the topic of last night." ”
For the first time, a slight smile appeared on the Pope's face, "Oh, no...... Young Grand Duke, don't worry, I know it's not early, but instead of wasting time with those straw bale rice buckets, it's better to discuss the future of the human continent with me here. ”
Tian Xian smiled, "Your Majesty, you are losing your identity when you say this about the envoys of various countries. ”
"Yes, what does it matter? The world has always spoken in terms of strength, just like what you did yesterday. ”
Gently stroking the head of the strange creature with one hand, the Pope's face smiled a lot, "I really didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would meet a human being who made me deeply afraid, although I don't want to admit it, but I have to say, young archduke, you have done this, your power has made me deeply frightened, let me see the terrifying power outside of humans, so...... That is clearly not a human power to handle. ”
"So...... Did you just find a brute?" Tian Xian looked at the strange creature, and the thing also stared at Tian Xian, and the air slowly began to condense a deep and cold aura.
"Yes, young Grand Duke, fair negotiations must be based on equal strength, otherwise it will only be exploited by one side, don't you think?"
"Yes......"
Tian Xian is now finally sure that this inexplicable and wonderful creature is the Pope's killer weapon, it seems that in addition to the Dominator, the Holy Spirit Temple really hides a lot of unknown secrets, this unknown creature is one of them, and whether there are two or three, it is unknown.
"Your Majesty is right, but ...... How do you want me to believe, huh...... I mean, such a beast can show me the strength of the Holy Spirit Temple?"
The Pope's old palm slowly groped for the strange creature's head, "I don't know where he came from, I only know that he is among the things I inherited, and there are many secrets about him that have been passed down from generation to generation, I won't list them all here, but I can tell you, young Archduke, that he is probably older than all the history you know." ”
Tian Xian suddenly frowned.
What do I know about the history?
Now, although the history of human beings is different, if we want to talk about antiquity, it is nothing more than the existence of the first generation of ancient gods, that is when this world was just taking shape, and everything was still in a state of chaos.
Is this strange beast older than that history? Is he something that has survived from the previous world?
Tian Xian couldn't help but think of the evil eye, the legend of the evil eye was very fierce at the beginning, what burned the whole world, and was born in the ashes of the world, etc......
But in fact, the evil eye is just a very ordinary evil spirit in the age of the gods, not even a god.
This thing...... Tian Xian tilted his head and scanned its eyes up and down, this can't be just a parallel commodity like the evil eye, right?
You must know that the legend of the evil eye is also circulated a lot on the human continent, so it is not surprising that this thing can deceive the Holy Spirit Temple from generation to generation.
After all, although people are parallel goods, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, people do live for a very long time! So long that you can't argue with people's history, because people themselves are history.
"This thing...... Is there anything so powerful?" Tian Xian had a feeling of schadenfreude in his heart.
Today, the Pope invited this thing, as if he was going to fight back, and if it turns out that this thing is just a parallel commodity in a while, then I don't know what the Pope's expression will be.
"Don't worry, you won't be in a hurry, you'll see his power right away. ”
Tian Xian had an expression of watching the play, and his heart had completely raised his vigilance.
Just when Tian Xian thought that something was about to happen, the Pope suddenly showed an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, "Dear Grand Duke, now give me an inconspicuous thing as a token, it must be the one you can distinguish between the real and the fake." ”
"Tokens?"
"Yes!" the Pope's smile widened.
Tian Xian thought about it and raised his hand directly, but the Pope interrupted Tian Xian at this time, "Oh, I think the Grand Duke wants to give me a button, the penultimate one on the side of your clothes." ”
This sentence made Tian Xian stunned for a moment, because Tian Xian really planned to do so.
As if chanting a spell, the Pope continued: "I think I know the reason, because the clasp opposite you to the right has been lost, so you want to take it off, right?"
This time, Tian Xian was a big surprise.
Because Tianxian did think so, because of his carelessness, he didn't know when he lost the button, so he was recited by the four girls to tighten the mantra, and this time he simply removed the opposite one, anyway, it was just a decorative button.
But...... It took less than two seconds for this thought to float through his mind, how could the Pope possibly know?
Could it be that the Pope would use mind reading?
Just when Tianxian was stunned and inexplicable, the Pope slowly raised his hand, "Young Archduke, is this buckle what you want to give me?"
Tianxian was simply stunned.
The Pope's old withered hand holds a shiny button, isn't that exactly what he wears on his clothes?
Touching his side violently, Tianxian was shocked to find that the button there was gone.
"The Grand Duke looks like a man who often loses his ways, and he won't do that next time. The Pope admired the clasp and then smiled and said, "Oh...... This is a buckle mixed with gold in the desert, but it is a very valuable item, and the Grand Duke should be careful to protect it. ”
As he spoke, the Pope threw the clasp straight over.
Tian Xian swore that his brain was like a stone when he looked at the button.
Ten thousand divine beasts rushed through his heart, and Tian Xian couldn't believe his eyes.
Picked up the button and checked it for a long time, Tian Xian was sure that it couldn't be a fake, because now this dress was sewn by the fourth girl herself, and the button on it was also refined by Tian Xian himself according to the requirements of the fourth girl!
Even Tian Xian knew that this button was not round, because he felt that this decoration was a little too formal, so he didn't pay much attention to it when refining, this button was oval when he looked carefully at a certain angle, and the garden surface was also a little uneven.
Exactly the same, exactly the same!
This is the button that has never left the body, nor has it been given to the Pope.
It can't be that the Pope stole it before, because how could the Pope know which dress he was wearing, and just when she left, the four girls also mentioned the asymmetrical buttons of this dress, and the buttons were still there at that time!!
And...... How did the Pope know that he wanted to take out the clasp as a token?
Nothing is possible.
"How's it going, young archduke, is this clasp your own?"
Tianxian's face stiffened, and he tucked the button into his pocket, and then took a deep look at the strange creature that was still looking at him with complete hostility.
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for returning it, otherwise I will be blamed again when I go back. ”
"That's good, let's ...... next"
Tian Xian shouted directly: "Your Majesty, don't you want to explain? Why do you know my thoughts, and ...... How did this clasp get into your hands?"
The Pope was very satisfied with Tian Xian's expression and tone, and showed a very proud expression, "Young Archduke, you still need to learn...... Lot, lot ......"
