Chapter 620: The Pope Surrenders
A gust of wind in the hall suddenly rolled up, the curtain fluttered, and suddenly a touch of purple lightning instantly hit the golden light, and with a bang, the golden light collapsed, revealing Richelieu's figure, his face was full of horror, his shoulders were covered by two white and slender arms, and the sharp palms of his nails pierced deep into his gorgeous robe inlaid with gold wire, stopping his arms, and the strong momentum drove his body and rushed backwards.

With a thud, Richelieu's body slammed into the metal pillar on the edge of the bed behind him, and the entire pillar instantly recessed, and his back was pressed against it, completely suppressed.
Roar!
A low, beast-like roar struck him, and Richelieu saw a pair of pure black pupils approaching with a hideous chill, as if they would be swallowed up by an inexplicable force in the next moment.
"No!" His mind instantly fell into despair, and he could only watch in horror, all this came so quickly that he was caught off guard and had no time to react.
Ding dong!
The faint sound of metal bells was heard.
The astonishing oppression abruptly stopped, and it returned to normal, but only the stinging pain in his shoulder made Richelieu wake up in an instant, and his first reaction was to immediately strike and repel the terrifying figure in front of him with the greatest strength. But when he raised his arm slightly, he felt an indescribable pain coming from his arm, like a cramp, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
The arm he raised suddenly froze, and the pain made his eyes show a trace of unbearable pain, not that he couldn't endure hardship, but the pain in his arm was completely beyond his tolerance, ten times stronger than the pain of his arm being cut off!
Ding dong!
The metal bell rang again, but differently from the previous one, this time shaking a few times.
With a whoosh, Richelieu felt a strong wind roll up in front of him, his whole body relaxed, and the pain in his shoulders was instantly reduced, and at the same time, the mysterious woman who restrained him also withdrew, leaving so fast that he could hardly see clearly, and seemed to take away all the body temperature on his body, making him feel an indescribable coolness and throbbing.
When he looked eagerly, he saw that the mysterious woman had returned to Dudian, still standing quietly beside the young man as before, like a servant's attendant, and like a close friend, without a sound, as if she had been standing there all along, without moving.
Richelieu's arm had returned to normal, and the strange, twisted pain had also returned to normal pain, so that he could bear it, so that he didn't feel the pain at all, and looked at the young man and the mysterious woman next to him with a shocked face, and the shock in his heart reached an incomprehensible level, he could never have imagined that this woman, who had never spoken out like a killer, would have such terrifying power!
With just one move, he was completely suppressed!
And...... If she hadn't retreated in time, he felt like he might have died.
This is a force that is completely above him, and it is far beyond his imagination, the most basic speed and strength alone make him unable to react and resist!
"Speaker, can we have a good talk now?" Dudian looked at him indifferently.
Richelieu heard his words, and gradually came to his senses, even if he was not angry, there was a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes, he did not rush to call for help before, the main reason was that he was confident that with his own strength, he could solve Dudian, after all, if he couldn't defeat the opponent, looking at the entire outer wall area, it was estimated that no one would be able to deal with it.
However, the instantaneous fight just now crushed all the confidence and confidence in his heart!
"You have such strength, what else do we have to talk about?" Richelieu clenched his palms slightly, bitterly.
Du Dian said indifferently: "I am different from you, you are a respectable person, I can give you an equal opportunity to communicate." ”
Richelieu was slightly stunned, looked up at the young man, saw his calm and calm expression, and suddenly felt an indescribable mood, he smiled slightly bitterly, and said: "You are completely capable of defeating me and forcing me to do whatever you want, why do you have to tell me so much?" ”
Dudian looked at him and said, "If someone else asks this, it would be forgivable, but Your Excellency, it's a little too strange for you to ask this, right?" ”
Richelieu was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized the meaning of his words, and suddenly understood the reason why Dudian said so much, and couldn't help but have some strange feelings in his heart, "You really want me to be loyal to you?" ”
"Don't you want to?" Du Dian looked at him and said quietly: "Hands can only make people take it orally, but it can convince people to take it orally, since ancient times, the power of words is often better than a thousand swords, but unfortunately, all verbal communication needs to be established under the condition of equality of fists, which is like a bait." ”
Richelieu's heart shook, he had to say, these words were very reasonable, at least at this age, he couldn't say such things, this young man was more terrible than his strength, it seemed to be his heart, his wisdom!
"You're really smart." He was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It seems that all of us underestimated you in the past, a person who has strength, but only knows how to convince people with strength, is a reckless man after all, a person like you who has strength, but does not easily use power, shows that the understanding of 'power' is deeper and farther than ordinary people, if this era is a little better, you can indeed achieve an extraordinary career!" ”
He was serious because these words were his true feelings.
Du Dian said calmly: "It's too much, since you can also look down on me, then, it's time to make your choice, I hope you can make a smart choice." ”
Richelieu was silent, and after a long time, he said, "If I surrender to you, will you dare to use me?" Aren't you afraid that I will surrender and betray you with false information? ”
"I have my own way." Du Dian said indifferently.
Richelieu looked at him deeply, this young man's confidence made him a little bottomless, and at the same time felt a trace of jealousy and happiness, jealous of such an age, but with the mind that does not lose to himself, fortunately, such a character was not born in the same era as himself, otherwise, his papal life for so many years may not be stable.
"I don't seem to have a choice, I'm willing to be loyal to you, as long as you are willing to trust me." Richelieu squinted.
"Good." Du Dian clapped his palms, but there was still no smile on the surface, and said calmly: "Interesting people, always cute, now give you the first task, prepare to give way to the matter, I need within seven days, you will give up the position of the pope to my cronies." ”
Richelieu's heart sank, and he frowned: "You don't believe me? ”
"I believe it." Dudian said, "I believe you will listen to me. ”
Richelieu was speechless, and after a while he said, "What do I get if I obey your commands?" When you give way, you should get rid of me, right? ”
"You're looking down on me too much." Du Dian said: "All those who are loyal to me, as long as they don't betray me, they won't be betrayed by me, this is my code of conduct!" Besides, if I really want to get the position of Pope, even if I kill you now, I can still get it, I just need to take all the elders of your Elder Body, and let them elect one of them, and I believe that even if the chosen person is an unknown Probationary, he will be able to ascend to the papal throne in one step, and there will be no objections from the common people. ”
"After all, any resume and deeds can be shaped, as long as there are credible big people to testify, it is the best evidence, isn't it?"
Richelieu's face changed slightly, and he felt a chill in his heart, he knew that Dudian was right, if he really subdued the entire elder group, then his existence as a pope would be equivalent to nothing, and with Dudian's strength, it was entirely possible to do this, but it would be a little troublesome.
"You follow me, and when my great work is completed in the near future, your position will no longer be just a small pope in the outer districts, even if you want to be the abbot of the monastery, it may not be impossible." Du Dian threw out the sweet fruit and said, "But before that, I have to wronged you for a while, I hope you can understand, and I hope you can cooperate." ”
Richelieu's face changed, he knew that once he took this step, there would be no turning back, and his heart could not help but feel a little sad and dazed, once upon a time, he stood at the highest point, looking down on the common nobles of the outer wall, but now he was coerced, had no choice, and became a vassal.
"I see." Richelieu sighed in his heart and said slowly, with a hint of helplessness and vicissitudes in his voice.
"During the period of abdication, you can no longer live here, and I will take you to a new place, where all your edicts and instructions will be conveyed to the Holy See. ”
Richelieu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Dudian was guarding against his secret betrayal and wanted to cut him off from contact with other members of the Holy See.
"I see." He didn't say anything, he agreed.
Du Dian nodded slightly, and said, "Now, you are going to leave an edict that says that you have encountered an assassin tonight, and you have been seriously injured and need to be concentrated to recuperate. ”
"Encounter with an assassin?" When Richelieu heard this, he felt that Dudian was bold and actually reported his whereabouts, but soon noticed the corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but change his face slightly.
Thinking of this, he felt a throbbing in his heart, and suddenly he felt that he couldn't help himself.
