Chapter 1074: Counterattack
When Tian Xian came back from the Holy Spirit Hall coalition camp, Yaoyao still locked herself in her room, and Tian Xian didn't know that she would come out from time to time today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, this gave Tianxian time to be with everyone.
Once again, everyone gathered in the rapidly rebuilt town hall for today's theme: eating.
Tian Xian packed almost all of the sumptuous dinners prepared by the Pope, and they were all delicious dishes that had not been touched yet, these things were also available in Leaf City, but they would not be fresh, and some were not available at all.
The main thing is that there are no chefs in Leaf City who work exclusively for the pleasure of the powerful.
"The Temple of the Holy Spirit is rotten, and if I remember correctly, this wild vegetable is only grown in the Silent Forest. Luna muttered disdainfully as she ate an appetizing side dish, "Even such side dishes are obtained from places like the Silent Forest, and it's hard to imagine that the Holy Spirit Temple has always claimed to be frugal, and I'm afraid the Pope is not far behind the kings of other countries." β
"How can it be said that it is not too much, it is simply a lot more, the vast majority of countries on the entire continent will pay tribute to the Holy Spirit Temple every year, and only the Holy Spirit Temple itself knows how much the amount is. Senna nibbled on an unidentified object, a chicken thigh-like thing that gave off an extremely enticing aroma.
"And the Holy Spirit Temple's funds for various public welfare activities every year are less than half of the financial revenue of a small country, oh yes, it is not as much as our financial income of Fire Leaf City, and no one knows how much benefit they get from this item every year, and this is only one of them. β
Gu Li held a bowl of shiny balls and recalled: "When we were in the West Temple, we did seem to have a lot of money, but we didn't know how to spend it, at least...... Zhuoya and I don't have much to spend, but our equipment and armor will be replaced every six months, and some equipment will be replaced before it can be used in the warehouse. β
"That's an amazing amount of money. β
Speaking of money, Senna was extremely sensitive, she glanced at Gu Li's combat boots, "The metal used in your combat boots is at least synthetic gold of seven metals, and it also uses some fixed formation reinforcement, as well as very detailed joint strengthening and division of labor, to be honest, I have never seen anything like this except for your boots."
Gu Li was stunned, looked at the boots she called, and seemed to understand something, "Speaking of which, my combat boots are indeed specially made, after arriving here...... Also has been according to the previous standards, this boot ...... Really?"
After looking at everyone's expressions, Gu Li still put the next question back in her stomach, especially when she saw the thick and bulky metal combat boots on Tu Ge's feet.
Senna said in an old-fashioned manner: "The daily consumption of our Fire Leaf City is also very amazing, but it seems that it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the Holy Spirit Temple, although the Holy Spirit Temple has a great reputation and is also a place of human faith, but in the last hundred years of history, their status has been declining, I think there are many reasons for this and themselves." β
"Indeed!"
The fourth girl continued: "The reason why the Blood Alliance was able to rise in this period of history is inseparable from the fact that the status of the Holy Spirit Temple has been greatly shaken, and now the Holy Spirit Temple must be in a hurry to re-consolidate its position, after all, ...... Now that the situation on the human continent has fallen into chaos, the reshuffling of power must make the Holy Spirit Temple very anxious. β
"In other words......" Ryusi smiled and drank a bottle of wine, this bottle is absolutely rare, "The Pope must have invited our Grand Duke to this banquet for the sake of a year." β
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Tianxian, of course, they didn't stop.
Tian Xian nodded, "The Pope did ask about this, and I felt the Pope's anxiety somewhat, but I can't deny that no matter how anxious the Holy Spirit Temple is, their strength is still not something we can compete with, and the million coalition troops outside alone are enough to completely bulldoze Fire Leaf City." β
Long Jiu smiled, "This kind of thing won't happen, most of those armies are just decorations, they really want to bulldoze Fire Leaf City, and the Longyuan Empire won't allow it now, the Pope should have realized this, so he asked you to come over." β
"The ninth brother is right, the Pope must have sensed something. Long Si glanced at Tian Xian twice and stopped.
Tian Xian looked at everyone's gaze, and nodded helplessly, "You don't have to scruple, indeed, the Pope has begun to doubt Yaoyao's position, and has asked a lot about Yaoyao in the past few days, and now that she is not here, I just have a good discussion with you." β
While eating, I told all about today's meeting with the Pope.
After listening to it, everyone looked at Tianxian with some surprise, who was waiting for Tianxian to say something, but after waiting for a long time, it was all strange eyes, "What do you see me doing?"
Ling looked at Tian Xian strangely, "How did you hide from the Pope's eyes, it is said that the Pope's strength is unfathomable, he may not have been anything originally, but the Holy Spirit Temple has a secret method that allows the Pope to gain great power, you can actually deceive him, you are ...... now"
Everyone has the same eyes, there is a heart nail in Tianxian's heart, when this matter was heard for the first time, everyone was scared half to death, but Tianxian has nothing to do until today, and now everyone is not surprised, but it is one thing to survive, and it is another thing to be able to hide from the Pope.
Tian Xian blinked, and realized that he seemed to be too honest just now, and these things are not very easy to explain now.
"I've not been idle these days, anyway, I've found a way, you don't have to worry about me. β
Now only Long Si really knows that Tian Xian has a new power because of the forcible breakthrough of the reverse heart trick, and the four girls have already seen it with their own eyes, but the four girls are exquisite, and naturally know that Tian Xian has no explanation, so it is not suitable to explain now, and both of them are silent.
The others looked at each other, and this means keeping it a secret for the time being!
"Hmph! I thought we wanted to know. Luna snorted disdainfully, "It's good to be able to hide it, but in that case, I think the Pope must be even more skeptical." β
Only then did Long Si speak, "I think so too, the current Pope is very ambitious, whether it is political skills or strong force, he is very skillful, I have seen it a few times when I was in the Longyuan Empire, sometimes even a country like the Longyuan Empire can only make concessions to the Pope, he will definitely not give up." β
The fourth girl's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and she said softly: "However, since the Pope is suspicious, we will follow the previous plan and take advantage of the situation." β
Tian Xian counted his fingers, "Our time is running out, before the time of the year comes, the Pope will definitely make a move, and Barbarot may too, but his side is not where we have to worry, and in this matter, the Holy Spirit Temple is our main enemy......
After thinking about it, Tian Xian decided to say: "Tomorrow, start a full-scale operation!"
The next day, all the elven sentinels were active.
The residents of Leaf City did not notice that a small number of elven sentinels were still standing guard as usual, but more elven sentinels had already hidden in all corners of Leaf City and began to closely monitor every move in every place in Leaf City.
The inventory of the trade route has also undergone some changes, a few elite sentries have quietly blended into the sentry post, it seems that the sentry has not changed much, and these sentries are just standing guard by the gate, looking like sentries serving as a faΓ§ade.
However, these sentries all carry the stigma that Tianxian specially gave to them.
This is a blessing-type stigma, and it has not yet been inherited, but the power contained in it is very keen, and it is also specially made for Tianxian.
Whenever a traveler with the standard knight stigma of the Holy Spirit Temple passes by, these stigmatas will have a slight fluctuation of sensitivity, which is very slight and almost impossible to feel, but Tian Xian especially uses a formation to amplify energy fluctuations in the stigmata, and these elite sentinels are also known for their keen sentinels.
In one day's time, according to the feedback of the sentinels on the trade route, more than sixty Holy Spirit Knights infiltrated Fire Leaf City in various capacities.
"More than sixty a day, and probably more before the gates are closed at night, the Pope is really starting to move. β
Tian Xian stood in front of the huge window on the top floor of the Hangu Tower, staring at the brightly lit Fire Leaf City, with a strange smile on his face.
"With such a large number of secret agents, is the Pope a little too blatant, even if there is no special investigation, but we can't find all of them. Long Si took a glass of wine and lazily came to Tianxian's side.
Compared with before, now when he is alone with Tianid, Long Si is much more casual, and his dress is also cooler, the dress that was originally rigid and wrapped around the whole body has been replaced by a loose and comfortable gauze dress, and the straight black hair hangs on the snow-white skin, which is beautiful and dazzling.
"Even if they find out, they can't do anything to those knights, but they are our allies, and it's just for our safety. Tian Xian smiled, "It's really blatant." β
Picking up a stack of white paper in his hand, the faces of those secret agents were drawn on both sides, this was an accurate portrait left by the elven sentry with a super memory, and Tian Xian said lightly: "We shouldn't miss a few, even if we miss a few, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as there are some people, it's enough." β
"But...... Will it really go that smoothly?" Ryusi seemed a little puzzled.
Tianxian shook his head slowly, "I don't know at all, what is in the black sea, what the Holy Spirit Temple and Barbarot are looking forward to, now I don't know anything, I can only know that the black sea is something they are interested in, but I think it will go well, just based on the Pope's previous reaction, there are ...... These spies he sent this time. β
Saying that, Tianxian couldn't help but laugh, "It's a shame that he came up with so many people at once." β
"That's the Pope's business, who knows what is going on in his head, and now we have a problem before us. Long Si looked at Tianxian and hesitated, "You ...... You're really okay, right?"
Tian Xian glanced at her, "What can I have a problem, do you want to be sure now?"
Ryusi rolled his eyes helplessly, "I mean...... Your heart nail is still there, are you really sure, you must know that once you fail, then the one-year period will become a non-existent thing, and it is unknown what the Pope's attitude will be at that time. β
"You're worried about it. Tian Xian smiled, "Actually, I don't know what my current state is. β
"You...... What do you say?"
"Because nothing has ever happened, and no one has told me what will happen in the future, and the situation now is that we have to take action, and now Yaoyao often locks herself up, and this is also our chance, so now is not the time to think about whether we can do it, but we have to do it, and we have to succeed. β
Ryusi was a little speechless.
After a while, Long Si sighed and drank all the wine in the cup: "These days, I sometimes wonder if I did something wrong at that time. β
"Regret it?" Tian Xian was a little surprised.
"Well, I regret it. β
"It's too late to regret it, I will never spit out the meat in my mouth when I eat it. Coming over with a smile, Tian Xian gently hugged Long Si, she looked tall, but it was just enough for Tian Xian to hug her.
Long Si sighed and said with a wry smile: "I knew that you were such an anxious guy, and I didn't have to torture myself so much, but you hid yourself deep enough." β
Tian Xian smiled and smiled, "Men are like this, they are gentlemen in front of women, but they are beasts in front of lovers." β
Ryusi rolled his eyes, "I said I regretted it...... It means that even without me, you can break free from Yaoyao's shackles, and...... It could be smoother, safer, and stronger. β
Tianxian nodded slightly, "Maybe it's really like that, but that's meaningless, what happened can't be repeated, fate can't be rewritten, who knows how things that haven't happened will develop, you decided, you did that, then you don't have to think about other things." β
Kissing Long Si's face, Tian Xian smiled and said, "Look, I haven't regretted it as a victim, what reason do you have to regret it." β
"Okay, okay, you're a victim......" Ryusi found that since he became a mistress, he rarely took advantage of the leisure in words, and sometimes he was even said to cry and laugh.
"Then you pay attention to safety, and don't hide your strength when necessary. β
"Of course, right...... Aren't you afraid of demons?" asked Tian Xian suddenly.
"Demon?" Ryusi laughed for a while, "If you're a demon, then give me some more." β
