In the evening, the Holy Spirit Temple held a grand prayer event, which was attended by many believers from all over the mainland in awe, who gathered everywhere to pray sincerely and sing solemn hymns, and the entire Holy Spirit Temple headquarters area was filled with holy voices.

The reason for this activity is, of course, the sudden appearance of a dazzling fire at dusk, which is even brighter than the sun, which is extremely shocking.

Although there is some strangeness in people's hearts, this fire seems to ...... There was some danger, but the explanation of the Holy Spirit Temple was that it was the radiance of the faith of the gods, the radiance of the revelation of the gods, so the believers woke up one after another, and then prayed on their knees.

Now, the author of this revelation is sitting at the great table of the temple, feasting, and from time to time there are loud and devotional hymns from outside the temple.

In the huge dining room, there are only two people, the Pope and Tian Xian.

The décor of the restaurant is resplendent with the soft glow of solid gemstones, which soften the place as if it were early morning.

However, the Pope sat there with a gloomy face, far away from the sky, but felt that in the soft morning light, the young man who was feasting was as terrible as a demon, and elusive.

The puppet was burned, and there was not even a scum left!

It is one of the few treasures that has been handed down from ancient times in the Holy Spirit Temple, and it is a real ancient object, a creation life that truly relies on divine power to survive.

Unexpectedly...... It was ruined by such a teenager raising his hand!

The dining room was filled with the sound of Tianxian cheeks rolling and knives and forks striking, and the Pope watched Tianxian quietly, and the small piece of roast meat on his plate was not even touched at all.

The Pope couldn't eat it, he felt like a fish in his throat, and the young man in front of him once again broke through his expected reservation line, and the one-year period that had been stable now seemed to be no longer so stable, at least the strength of this young man was completely miscalculated.

"Your Excellency the Pope?" Tianxian suddenly raised his head and pointed to the Pope's plate, "You can eat too, you're welcome, just like in your own home, eat." ”

After saying that, I was idle and bored to eat and drink.

The Pope clutched his knife and fork tightly, thinking to himself, you damn little ghost, isn't this my home!

Tianxian raised his head again, tried to swallow a piece of fatty fish into his stomach, and said vaguely: "You have arranged a meal as good as my sister and them, if she finds out that I eat and drink better here, it will not be easy for me to go back." ”

The Pope snorted slightly, "Don't worry, the Grand Duke has already commanded, of course we don't dare to slack off when it comes to the Elven Queen." ”

"That's good...... "Tian Xian winked his eyes, "then...... Do you have something to say to me? You have to invite me to dinner alone, it's a waste to have such a big table. ”

Tian Xian said as he dragged all the dishes around him in front of him, with a regretful expression on his face.

It's a teasing and a disdain...... At least that's what the Pope thinks now, this damn little bastard just burned the puppet Liwei, and now apparently wants to see the joke.

Although he was extremely depressed in his heart, the Pope also understood that this time he lost for a while, and this little bastard in front of him was indeed a bastard, but he was the most difficult bastard!

"Honorable Grand Duke, that statue has been destroyed, I don't know you...... Did you find any clues?" the Pope asked in a deep voice.

Tian Xian raised his head again, quickly pounded his cheeks a few times, and then showed a thoughtful look, frowning slightly, as if there was something to consider.

The Pope couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "The Grand Duke seems to have discovered something, and I don't know if this strange situation has anything to do with the changes that have occurred in various parts of the mainland, or even ...... Is there a connection to the situation in the black sea?"

Tianxian nodded and said, "No." Then he lowered his head and continued to eat.

"Oh, then......" The Pope was about to continue to say something, but he was stunned, no?

"Uh...... Dear Archduke, you just said......" The Pope wondered if he had misheard.

"No!" Tian Xian didn't raise his head this time, "I didn't find anything, I was going to teach that thing a lesson first, and then ask it well, but it didn't seem to be very good, and it burned all at once." ”

The Pope's face was pale, staring at Tianxian stubbornly, thinking to himself that you little bastard, sincerely teasing me, are you!

"Oh yes!" Tianxian looked up again, "There's one thing I do want to explain to you. ”

The Pope's righteous eyes were red, and when he heard Tianxian say this, his heart also lit up, "Oh?

Tianxian showed a look of sadness and regret, "I know that the Holy Spirit Temple is very rich, just look at some treasures, so I will definitely not cut corners on the statues of my predecessors, but it seems that someone is corrupt and favoritistic, the stone of the statue is too poor, it must have been secretly replaced when it was built, and the rest of the money went into my own pocket, otherwise it would not be burned to ashes all at once, Your Excellency, you have to supervise the work of the people below." ”

The Pope's eyes jumped! And he thought to himself, "This is what you are going to say to me?" I solemnly ask you to come here, and you set fire to the statue, and tell me that someone is cutting corners on the stone!

Looking at the Pope's pale face, Tian Xian smiled slightly, "Lord Pope, it seems that you are not satisfied with my words, so you ...... What do you want me to say?"

The Pope said with a calm face, "Dear Archduke, I just want to investigate the murder of the statue, this kind of thing must not happen, it is related to our reputation and the safety of the believers, so if you find anything, even the smallest one, please let me know, we will be grateful." ”

It seems that the Pope is a little aggressive, but in fact, the Pope's heart is full of bitter water, and this matter can be regarded as a dumb loss, and there is really nowhere to pour this bitter water.

This time it was supposed to be a temptation, even if the kid didn't say anything in the end, but as long as the puppet was still there, then there would be a lot of useful traces on the puppet, and there would be special people to interpret these traces and get valuable information from them.

But now that the puppet has been burned cleanly, the other party has made it clear that he doesn't want to say anything, it's really stealing chickens and rice.

The most aggrieved thing is that, nominally, asking someone to help, and then people can't help anything, this kind of thing is a matter of course, nothing can be said, and now there is no reason to hold accountable, or even exert pressure......

After all...... The statue is just a statue, you say it's a treasure puppet handed down from ancient times, there is no evidence! The puppet itself has been burned down......

Ben expected Tian Xian to mention the matter of Empress Hippo when he was proud, even if it was to show off and mock, which was a crucial piece of information, but the Pope found that he clearly underestimated the patience of the other party.

I don't say anything when I'm free, just eat......

One more meal!

The more the Pope thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face became ugly, and he couldn't wait to throw the knife and fork over and poke the foolish man to death.

Tianxian looked at the Pope in a bit of a daze, "A small discovery...... Your Excellency, I have already told you just now, there is a problem with the stone of the statue, go back and check this clue, maybe you can find something, if you can't find it...... It's none of my business. ”

The Pope's heart trembled, but he still had to keep calm, and after thinking about it, he had to take the initiative to say: "Speaking of which, that thing ...... It's a bit like the puppets in the Holy Spirit Temple. ”

"Puppets?"

Tian Xian showed a puzzled expression, raised his head and looked at the Pope strangely, "What kind of puppet? Why haven't I heard that there is such a thing in the Holy Spirit Temple?"

The Pope stared at Tian Xian's expression tightly, but in the end he was disappointed in his heart, because he couldn't read anything from Tian Xian's expression, and the kind of surprise and confusion was natural and smooth, not like it was pretending at all, as if it was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

The perfect expression.

But the pope intuitively thought it was a disguise.

Tianxian is secretly rolling his eyes, thinking that this kind of pediatrician also wants to calculate me?

Empress Hippo has an old puppet, and Tian Xian deliberately revealed the name of Empress Hippo in the square, and sure enough, the Pope will take the initiative to say the name of the puppet now, Tian Xian is very clear, the Pope wants to know the situation of Empress Hippo, and he wants to see his reaction.

In the case of preparation, the reverse heart trick accurately guides and controls the qi and blood strength of the whole body, and subtly controls the facial muscles, so that the expression is as real as it is.

Of course, Tian Xian knew that since he was suspected, it was not a matter that could be concluded with an expression, and the Pope would definitely not believe it......

The Pope stared at Tian Xian with a deep gaze, "The puppet is an ancient artifact inherited from the age of the gods in the Holy Spirit Temple, that is, the creation life made by the gods. ”

"Creation of life!" Tian Xian showed a surprised expression very cooperatively.

"Yes, they are powerful, have a mind of their own, are able to act on their own, and do not obey anyone and any order except the Lord God, and they are deeply rooted in hierarchies and have a disdain for weak human beings, just like the attitude of that statue. ”

Tianxian let out a long "oh" and didn't say anything.

The Pope continued: "The number of puppets is very rare in our records, and the most powerful of them was possessed by a priest named Hippo. ”

Tian Xian smiled slightly in his heart, the Pope really couldn't wait, and even said the name of Empress Hippo himself.

"Can a priest have puppets, aren't they creatures?" asked Tian Xian.

"The gods have fallen, and the puppets are naturally unable to move on their own, but the Holy Spirit Temple naturally has some ways to keep them alive. The Pope's gaze became more and more fierce at Tian Xian, "And the priest with the most powerful puppet, Hibo, she disappeared from this continent for some reason. ”

"Oh, why?"

"The Grand Duke doesn't need to ask about this, this is the secret of our Holy Spirit Temple, but we have always suspected that she is not actually dead, but has been stranded in the Black Sea, trapped somewhere, it may be an island, it may be a piece of land, it may be a simple barrier, in short, she should be alive somewhere in the Black Sea. ”

"So sure?" Tian Xian looked at the Pope strangely, thinking that Bai had released the news to kill Hippo, although he didn't really kill the killer, but just locked her up on the land of the black sea, this matter should only be known to Bai and Hippo, how did the others know?

"Naturally, we have our way to determine this!" the Pope's tone couldn't help but get slightly excited, "We know that she's still alive, and almost certainly on the Black Sea, it must be a place not far from the human continent, it must be, so ......"

Tian Xian smiled, "So you want to ask, since I found land on the black sea, did I find someone on it, and did I find a woman named Hibo with a powerful puppet?"

The Pope took a deep breath, "Yes, Honorable Archduke, I think if you do find land, there is a good chance that you will see her, as well as her puppets. ”

Tian Xian nodded, "I naturally saw the land, huh...... I also saw other lives. ”

The Pope's eyes narrowed, "...... so"

Tianxian smiled slightly, "But I don't know what the priest Xibo you said looks like, and I don't know if I met her or not." ”

The Pope blackened his face, "She...... She was supposed to be about twenty years old, very beautiful, with long hair and, if correct, a mole under her left eye. ”

Have a mole under your left eye?

Tian Xian quickly recalled the appearance of Empress Hippo, indeed, whether it was the appearance of a little girl or the appearance of an adult, she did have a mole under her left eye.

"I haven't seen it. "Tian Xian directly spread his hands.

The Pope slammed the table angrily with his knife and fork, "Dear Grand Duke, I ask you to think about it again! Have you ever seen a woman like this? Her name is Hippold! She used to be an important member of us! She carries a powerful puppet, very recognizable!"

Tian Xian suddenly wondered, it was reasonable for the Pope to look for Empress Hippo, after all, she was an important person, maybe she still held some secrets of the Holy Spirit Temple in her hands.

But...... Why do you keep mentioning puppets?

Tianxian found that the Pope was always emphasizing the existence of puppets, and in such a few short sentences, every time he mentioned Empress Hippo, he was talking about puppets.

Puppets?

A thought popped up quickly, and then inexorably occupied Tianxian's mind.

"Oh...... Like, I did!" Tian Xian patted his head, "A woman named Hippo!Ah......hh It's called Hippo. ”

A gleam erupted in the Pope's eyes, and he stood up violently, "Really! Is she carrying a powerful puppet!?"

"Puppets?"

Tian Xian touched his chin, "That thing...... It seems to be a puppet. ”

The Pope was stunned, "What...... What is called counting. ”

"Because she said that the thing was too old, it was still useless, and it was broken. Tian Xian gestured and pointed to the table, "Now that stone is used as a table, I had a fight with it when I went, and accidentally destroyed half of its body, and now it is estimated that it can only be used as half a table." ”

The Pope's mouth opened in an instant, "You...... You say, what did you say!?"
