Chapter 1073: Pious Faith
It feels like it's been a long, long time since I've seen the Pope, and so much has happened since the last time we met, and even when I stepped into the camp of the Holy Spirit Temple's coalition army, I felt like a world away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking about it carefully, Tianxian couldn't help but smile, Yaoyao has already returned.
A knight with his face in his helmet at all times led Tian Xian to an inconspicuous tent, which, as usual, was different from the few he had used before.
Tian Xian smiled at the knight and slipped into it himself.
The Pope was standing in the hall in his fine clothes, waiting, and a sumptuous dinner had already been prepared next to him.
At the first sight, the Pope laughed exaggeratedly, and all the wrinkles of his old face stretched out with a smile, "My Grand Duke, I have finally seen you again, and it has been a long time since we last met." β
Tian smiled and saluted the Pope, "Yes, I miss you very much." β
"Then do it, let's have a good talk today. β
Tian Xian smiled and nodded, walked over in a big way, sat down and began to scan the dinner on the table.
Looking at this table of dinner, Tian Xian felt that the Pope's head was covered with a huge aura of luxury and waste, these foods could not be eaten by two people, and for the Holy Spirit Temple, which had always prided itself on frugality, it was obviously beyond several specifications and levels.
"Then you're welcome. "Tian Xian hehe, hey, hey, hehe, he, he
Tianxian is thinking about it now, he should pack it back in a while, it's a sin to waste it!
The Pope blinked his little eyes, thinking to himself, could it be that this hateful boy had come to eat?
Dinner is just a foil, drink some wine, and talk about some sensitive topics is the main dish of the day......
However, leisure is to eat......
The Pope wanted to open his mouth several times, but looking at Tianxian's gobbling appearance, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
There was a strange atmosphere in this small palace, and the two heavyweight heads of the human continent had an evening talk, but now there was only the sound of grunting cheeks......
Secretly looking at Tianxian, from the time Tianxian entered the door to the present, a doubt has always lingered in the Pope's heart.
What the hell does this kid look like he's hurting?
There is nothing unnatural about the action, and the face is ruddy, well, I was in a hurry just now, and I seem to be choking, so my face is a little too red, and look at the way I have a big appetite, how to look at it, how to look at it, how to make people jealous.
Tian Xian suddenly raised his head and stared straight at the Pope, who was looking at the Pope for a while.
"You eat too, why don't you eat, if you don't eat, it's a waste, eat, you're welcome......" Tianxian smiled.
The Pope thought to himself that this kid still regarded himself as a master......
Tian Xian ate a full meal, and less than a tenth of the food on the table was eaten, and a lot of it has not been touched, how can the Pope have the heart to eat, he has been watching Tian Xian eat and drink nonsense, and seeing that Tian Xian seems to have finally eaten enough, he is finally relieved.
Tian Xian directly poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip of it, "Thank you so much for your hospitality, you can't eat so much delicious food in Fire Leaf City." β
The Pope smiled and said, "If the Grand Duke likes it, you might as well come here more, although the Holy Spirit Temple is not rich, the food is still enough." β
Tian Xian glanced at the dining table, he was not rich, and this table of dishes was enough for an ordinary family's annual income to remain.
"So, are you okay?" Tianxian put down his glass and looked at the Pope suspiciously, "If it's okay......"
The Pope is so angry in his heart, you kid is deliberately angry with me today, isn't it?
"Of course, there are a few things I would like to discuss with the Grand Duke. β
Tian idle shook his wine glass, hehe and smiled, "So...... Anyway, keep it short, and you know that I recently got a new female companion who asked me to accompany her early in the evening. β
The Pope smiled knowingly, "It's nice to be young, oh yes...... I heard that the girl the Grand Duke was talking about is Yaoyao. β
"You got the news?"
The Pope laughed, "Ordinary people may not know about this kind of thing, but how can the Holy Spirit Temple not know about it, don't be surprised, we all understand." β
"Of course...... I don't mean anything else, just that since you know, then...... Let's make a long story short. β
The Pope touched his beard, feeling that Tianxian's tone didn't seem to be so friendly, and he couldn't help but play a little drum in his heart, could it really be that he was already in cahoots with the Longyuan Empire?
"Grand Duke, we know a little bit about Yaoyao, it seems that ...... She was restricted from her freedom by the Longyuan Empire before, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
"Yes, your information is accurate. Tian Xian replied casually, "Yaoyao was captured by the Longyuan Empire before, and it took me a lot of effort to get her back, and she was seriously injured and almost died?"
The Pope's gaze quickly looked at Tianxian, and the doubts in his heart were even heavier, "The Grand Duke is injured?"
"Yes, fortunately, Lady Luck favored me, otherwise I would have lost my life. β
"But I see you, Grand Duke...... Seems to be very healthy. β
Tian Xian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course, you have to pretend to be in front of outsiders, but you have to tell the truth to your own people, right?"
"Of course, of course...... I am very glad that you are so honest, Grand Duke. The Pope's smile was bright, but he was uncertain in his heart, and he didn't know which sentence was true.
However, according to his own experience, the Pope is completely a good person, not to mention being injured, I am afraid that headaches and brain fever are not at all.
It is difficult to completely disguise a person's state, even if they can hide their injuries, it is not so simple to show vitality, it is a thing that radiates from the inside out.
The Pope felt that he would not be mistaken, not to mention that this bad boy in front of him was injured, I am afraid that he has gained some benefits recently, so he will be so proud and unscrupulous.
"So, Grand Duke, you have successfully rescued Yaoyao and are no longer worried about the threat of the Dragon Source Empire?"
"Not bad. Tian Xian showed a full smile, "I was somewhat afraid of the actions of the Dragon Yuan Empire before, but now I don't know it at all. β
The Pope replied quickly when he asked Tian Xian, but the Pope was not comfortable in his heart, he always felt that Tian Xian's words could not be believed, and Tian Xian's answer was really very different from what he expected.
"However, according to our intelligence...... This Yaoyao seems to be a little tyrannical, after she appeared, Fire Leaf City was more or less in trouble, it is said that she still caused trouble everywhere, and the previous world became a ......"
"Your Excellency the Pope!" Tian Xian directly interrupted the Pope's words, and looked directly into the Pope's eyes with a smile, "You are the ruler of the Holy Spirit Temple, the pinnacle of spiritual belief in the human continent, these "maybe" and "maybe" things can't be believed casually, Yaoyao is just a little girl with little power, she may be a little domineering, but ...... We men like women like that, don't we?"
Stopping the Pope from speaking, Tian Xian continued: "Moreover, she was originally my fiancΓ©e, I don't want to hear any rumors about her irresponsibility, those who spread rumors in Fire Leaf City have all been kicked out of the city, Lord Pope, don't ......"
After glancing at the Pope twice, Tian Xian smiled kindly.
The corners of the Pope's eyes twitched twice, good boy! There are few people on this human continent who dare to speak to me like this.
Laughing lightly, the Pope nodded, "Of course, I only care about the Grand Duke as an ally, since the Grand Duke is already clear about this matter, I naturally won't say more, but ......"
With a strange smile, the Pope looked at Tianxian, "About a year ago, the Grand Duke was born as a divine inspiration, and our Holy Spirit Temple almost poured out of the nest, raising troops to support the Grand Duke against the Holy Spirit Temple, this world ...... It's almost there. β
Tianxian smiled secretly in his heart, and then he got to the point.
"yes, it's fast. Tianxian sighed sincerely, "I have also grown up a year old." β
After speaking, Tianxian blinked, looked at the Pope, and looked at his white beard emphatically: You are also a year older.
The Pope was furious, but he didn't say anything, and he couldn't do it again.
"So......" said the Pope, holding back his anger, "does the Grand Duke have any priority hints about the matter of the Black Sea?"
Tian Xian suddenly looked surprised, "The gods are above, are you planning to go through the back door, Your Excellency? β
The Pope's face suddenly turned terrifying.
But Tian Xian immediately said: "This is a revelation from God, Your Majesty, even you can't go against God's will, and there is still a month in the period of a year, and you must not say it now." β
"I mean...... "How dare I transgress God's will, but God has sent revelations to enlighten some people, so God must hope that those people will understand God's meaning earlier and make corresponding judgments." β
Tian Xian suddenly smiled, "Does the Pope think that you are the one God wants to enlighten?"
The Pope took a deep breath, "I want to ...... At least in the temple of the Holy Spirit. β
Tian Xian had to admire the Pope's ability to speak such righteous words even though he knew it was nonsense.
At the beginning, the Holy Spirit Temple coerced and enticed, and even planned to use force against himself, just to ensure that the identity of the Divine Revelation was related to the Holy Spirit Temple.
Both sides knew that the Inspired One was not in the Temple of the Holy Spirit and ...... If there really is such a thing as a divine revelator.
"Your Excellency, God's will is absolute, and your will is secondary, and even if you say it today, it will be worthless. Tian Xian said unceremoniously.
The Pope's face turned the color of pig liver, and although he didn't expect to ask anything today, the attitude of Tianxian made the Pope feel extremely annoyed.
However, the more this is the case, the more cautious the Pope is in his heart, Yaoyao's appearance is a huge warning signal, and now Tianxian's attitude is also so disrespectful, coupled with the rumors that appeared before in Fire Leaf City.
It seems that everything shows that the Grand Duke in front of him is already very close to the Longyuan Empire.
At the very least, the distance between him and the Holy Spirit Temple had indeed been shortened for some time before.
This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable.
"Lord Lingguan, is everything okay in Fire Leaf City?" the Pope asked suddenly.
Tianxian's eyes trembled, "Lord Lingguan...... Oh, of course, his old man is very good, he just drinks and plays chess every day, and is happy. β
The Pope keenly captured the change in Tianxian's eyes, and couldn't help but snort slightly in his heart, absolute power is everything, and now it seems that the spirit officer's choice to stay in Fire Leaf City seems to have become a good move to anticipate the enemy first, with the spirit officer in Fire Leaf City, then many things will definitely not happen.
"Speaking of which, Lord Lingguan has a high opinion of the Grand Duke, and I have been in the position of Pope for some time, and I have never seen Lord Lingguan have such a high opinion of anyone. β
Tian Xian snorted, "Really, I just don't know, what is the origin of this spirit official?"
The Pope sneered in his heart: Little cub, do you know that you are afraid now? Even if you can destroy the world, you can't escape the palm of the spirit officer!
"Haha, Grand Duke, this is ...... But you shouldn't ask. The Pope smiled mysteriously, "There are some things that even I don't know very well, and it's even more impossible to say to the outside world." β
Tian Xian nodded, then blinked and thought about it, and immediately showed a wicked smile.
"Your Excellency, I would like to know a little about the Spiritual Officer, but he is selfless and will not say a word, but if you will reveal it, then about the period of one year......
The Pope's eyes suddenly changed, "Grand Duke...... What does this mean?"
"Look...... Everything has to come at a price. Tian Xian said nakedly.
The Pope didn't expect that this kid in front of him was despicable and shameless, and he had even begun to undisguise the divine revelation that appeared in the sky above Fire Leaf City...... Is it really about gods?
"But the Grand Duke just said that the will of God ......"
"God has mercy on the world and will not mind. Tian Xian smiled.
The Pope shuddered, and suddenly he had a feeling that he was being seduced by some evil force.
After thinking for a long time, the Pope actually shook his head, "Grand Duke, God will not forgive such a despicable transaction. β
Tian Xian was slightly surprised, the identity of the spirit official was so sensitive, the Pope didn't agree!
"Of course, actually...... I'm just testing your loyalty on behalf of the gods. Tianxian said with a face that was not red or white.
"My devotion to God was naturally unwavering. "The Pope's face is full of piety.
Across a table of luxurious meals, the Pope and Tian Xian looked at each other, both with righteous faces, and they were actually cursing each other in their hearts.
"Oh, I remember, there's something to do tonight, so I won't bother much. Tian Xian stood up directly.
The Pope had no choice but to nod, "I know that I can't ask anything today, but I can be regarded as gaining." β
"Oh, that's right......" Tian Xian pointed to the table full of meals, "this...... God said it should be taken back and distributed to more devout believers. β
The Pope's face suddenly called it wonderful.
