The long golden hair was slightly dull, there was a touch of snow white at the sideburns, the face was resolute, the bronzed skin was faintly shining, and the eyes were slightly open, which flashed from time to time with wisdom and a trace of cruelty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Quietly, there is a faint majesty on his body.

Rhodes looked the middle-aged man in front of him up and down, and sighed slightly in his heart, he had been in the center of power for a long time, and this person had already cultivated the aura of a superior who was not angry and arrogant.

"Pope Rhodes, it's better to meet than to be famous. ”

The middle-aged man took a slight sip of the fine tea prepared beside him, and said slowly,

"Everyone in the world says that Pope Rhodes is a young hero, and he has become a pope in his twenties, and I used to scoff at these words, but now it seems that what he said is true, and Pope Rhodes is far younger than I imagined. ”

"President Grantney, these are just secular rumors, and they deserve to be true. ”

Rod smiled faintly, the middle-aged man in front of him was none other than Grantney, the vice president of the Sect Association who had come from the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Sect Association this time.

The cultivation of the seventh order is not extremely strong, but it is definitely not weak, it is enough for a leader, and there are four people behind Grantney, two warriors and two magicians, whose strength is about the peak of the seventh order, and it is obviously the person who accompanied the protection of Grantney.

"Why should Pope Rhodes be modest, when I was your age, I was just a small mayor. ”

Grantney smiled and gave Rod another hand.

Just now, Rod directly called him the president in his words, and there was a lack of the word 'deputy', which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

"President Grantney, I wonder what you're here for?"

Instead of continuing to waste time politely on his own questions, Rhodes went straight to the point.

"Pope Rhodes is really a cheerful person, so I'll be blunt. ”

Grantney was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Rod to be so direct, laughed softly, and then said in a deep voice,

"In Dalkos Province, more than a dozen sects led by the Heavenly Mandate Sect have publicly declared their belief in the gods and ancestors of your Taoism, and even applied to the local sect association to dissolve the sect and directly become the distribution church of Taoism. ”

"Yes. ”

Rod bowed slightly, he really came here for this matter.

"Pope Rhodes, one or two small sects are enough, but a pope-level sect plus many large sects, such a large scale, is enough to be regarded as a challenge to the rules of the religious world. ”

Seeing that Grantney's reaction was flat, Grantney took a sip of tea, and then said slowly to Rod,

"I have come on behalf of the denominational association for this purpose, and I do not know what Pope Rhodes will say about it. ”

"Without him, it is the wish of the believer. ”

Rod answered softly, but said no more, just looked at Grantney quietly.

"What do you mean, Pope Rhodes?"

Grantney's brow furrowed slightly.

"This matter is not the work of my Taoist sect, if President Grantney wants to inquire about this matter, he should go to the more than ten sects of the Heavenly Mandate Sect. ”

Rod smiled faintly,

"Moreover, this is an initiative initiated by believers, and we Taoism have never intervened. ”

"Pope Rhodes, in fact, you and I know it well, so you don't need to pretend to be confused like this. ”

Grantney shook his head helplessly, this Rhodes Pope is young, but the city is extremely deep.

"Yes, President Grantney, you and I know that. ”

Rod bowed slightly, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and then his right hand lightly dipped the tea beside him, and slowly wrote two words on the table.

Grantney's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw the two words written by Rod, his body shook violently, and his expression froze, but soon, he showed a helpless smile.

"I didn't expect Pope Rhodes to have a lot of things. ”

Grantney was silent for a moment, then said with a smile,

"There's nowhere to put all the rhetoric I've prepared. ”

"Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is just that. ”

Rod smiled faintly,

"It's okay not to say anything superfluous, I just understand. ”

In fact, after Ize's news, Rhodes had already asked his subordinates to collect all the information about Grantney, this matter was not difficult, Grantney was such a big person, it was easier to investigate, so before meeting Grantney, Rhodes already had a full understanding of him.

When he found out that Grantney's attitude towards him was not bad, and there was even a hint of friendship, he knew in his heart that the purpose of Grantney's trip was not to be from the province of Dalcos.

Combined with the recent events in the imperial capital, Rhodes could already determine why Grantney had come.

"In that case, what does Pope Rhodes mean?"

Grantney gave Rhodes a deep look, and then asked a clueless question.

"I have no reason to refuse. ”

Although he had no head or brain, Rod understood, and after thinking for a while, he said with a smile.

"Well, Pope Rhodes is a man who does great things. ”

Hearing this, Grantney was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"President Grantney is also a man who does great things. ”

Rod said with a smile.

"Since Pope Rhodes has agreed, then I will wait for Pope Rhodes in the imperial capital. ”

When things were agreed, Grantney did not linger any longer, and slowly got up and saluted Rod.

"President Grantney, rest assured, I will come to the imperial capital after this matter. ”

Rod stood up and saluted back.

"Yes. ”

Grantney smiled and nodded, then waved his right hand slightly, and the four people behind him followed him away.

"By the way, President Grantney, the matter of the province of Darcos ......"

As if remembering something, Rhodes spoke.

"Oh, the province of Darcos......"

Grantney stopped, then turned to Rhodes and smiled,

"Without him, it is the wish of the believer. ”

............................................................................................................

A few days later, the headquarters of the denominational association issued a document circular, which reads as follows:

As for the dissolution of more than a dozen sects led by the Heavenly Mandate Sect in Darkos Province and the establishment of Taoist distributed churches, it was done voluntarily by the believers, not forced by Taoism, and this move did not violate the rules.

Other denominations should pay more attention to similar behaviors and not repeat them.

The content of the document is very simple, the meaning is to prove to the world the rationality and legitimacy of the Taoist distribution churches transformed from these sects of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and the official determination is that those forces who want to influence the development of Taoism will not dare to re-invent it.

Since then, the province of Darkos has also become a world of Taoism......
