It is said that in the first thousand years before the establishment of the Cult of Light, every Paladin of Light would be assigned a wife by the organization when he was thirty years old.

This policy has not been effectively continued, and it has to be said that it is a great loss for the Illuminati Cult, which was known as the largest heterosexual dating organization in the mainland, and the Pope also contributed a lot of strength, and was once affectionately called "the world's matchmaker" by the believers.

Luo Xiaotian heard Kansas complain about not being able to get his wife for free all the way, and he didn't ask the answer to what the Pope told him to do.

Carried by a Kansas mount, Luo Xiaotian traverses the streets that connect the Old Town with the New Town, returning to St. Pro's Cathedral, the landmark of the New Town.

Cardinal Luo Xiaotian, who was waiting at the door, had never seen it, and could only confirm the identity of the other party from the other party's clothes. I don't think anyone will pretend to be a cardinal and still stand at the door of St. Pro's Cathedral to try how to die, so the identity of the other cardinal should be okay.

Kansas stopped in the square ten meters away from the cardinal, then turned over and dismounted, thanks to Luo Xiaotian's attention was still in shape, so he was not swept off the horse's back by Kansas's legs.

"Your Excellency, I've already brought you!"

"Come with me. ”

Luo Xiaotian followed behind the cardinal, who still didn't know his name, and next to him was a silent Kansas.

In this atmosphere, Luo Xiaotian hesitated for a long time, but decided not to ask any questions, because from Kansas, Luo Xiaotian could obviously see a certain awe, which was closer to the kind of awe that was afraid. Therefore, Luo Xiaotian, who has already seen the force of Kansas (not really), intends to trust Kansas's attitude, although he doesn't know why he is afraid.

Following a passage that Luo Xiaotian had never walked through before, Luo Xiaotian finally met the Pope.

Just like the room Luo Xiaotian had seen when he was in the Central Cathedral, the Pope was wearing a white robe without any additional decorations, sitting on a chair with something written on it, and the sunlight projected from the narrow window was still a little golden, making the room that was already mostly made of wood even darker.

"You're here, wait a minute, wait until I'm done with this. ”

The Pope's old voice sounded slowly, and the cardinal of Kansas and Luo Xiaotian, whose names he didn't know, walked over and stood on the other side of the Pope, leaving Luo Xiaotian alone in the same place and continued to be confused.

Who exactly is the Pope talking to?

Then, no one spoke again, and Kansas and the cardinals looked at each other, and they didn't look like they wanted to speak. The room was silent, except for the rustle of the tip of the pen on the paper, and the occasional gap between the pope dipping in ink.

Speaking of which, the Pope didn't touch the inkwell at all when he dipped the ink.

After waiting for a moment, the Pope stopped the pen in his hand, then put it aside and turned around.

"I've kept you waiting, it's not been long since the last time you and Kiana came back, but I didn't see you last time because I had something more urgent. Before I get down to business, I'd like to tell you a story. ”

The Pope paused, then continued to tell the story in an old, yet gentle voice.

"Demons are not the same as demons, demons represent chaos and evil, the former tells us that demons are like psychopaths, or a madman, and no one can guess what the next thing a demon is going to do, just as no one can guess why a demon is doing what he is doing; Moral and unpredictable, they are dedicated to destroying and destroying all things, including their own kind, as a lifelong pleasure, and they often invade other worlds, bringing destruction and fear. ”

Hearing the beginning, Luo Xiaotian was immediately shocked, there are still demons in this world?! Because he has never heard of others and has never seen it, Luo Xiaotian thought that there was no such thing here.

Does that seem to be too naïve?

"And the devil is the representative of order and evil, synonymous with hypocrisy, compared to low-level killing, playing with people's hearts is the devil's specialty, often the devil starts with selling devil contracts to mortals, while infiltrating other worlds, while doing their favorite thing - playing with people's hearts. As a dealer in the transaction, the devil knows very well which of the things that human beings have, which of them are the most expensive, so the devil will use things that cater to people's selfish desires as bargaining chips, inducing people to take things that people themselves regard as unimportant but very valuable to the devil as trading goods, such as people's soul, faith, conscience, future life, etc., which cannot be seen but actually exist, as a trading product, what the devil can give people is wealth, power, status, beauty, and so on in the material world. Career and other things, and these are precisely the most attractive things that human beings can see in this material world. As for the devil, as long as it gets the soul, life, time, conscience, morality, faith, etc., it gets what it wants, and the devil is neither responsible nor concerned about what will happen to man in the performance of the transaction, and what will end up in the end, on the contrary, he is more willing to see people fall into hell because of this unfair treaty. ”

"Is there really hell?!"

Hearing Hell, Luo Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, can people in this world really fall into hell? Does it mean that there really is heaven?... Hawkers, fortunately, I didn't ask the latter question, in front of the Pope of the Illuminati, it was so dangerous.

"Of course there is hell, and there is a barrier between hell and our world, and a long, long time ago, this barrier was close to crumbling, when the whole continent was invaded by demons and demons, and the place where human beings survived was either destroyed or pulled into the abyss of hell. Or you have already heard that the so-called hell is actually the abode of demons and devils, the world that is forever shrouded in darkness. So, that's all there is to hell first, and I'm going to move on to the story. ”

Luo Xiaotian had no choice but to put the rest of the questions in his heart for the time being, listen carefully, and wait for the Pope's next explanation.

"The first pope, in addition to possessing a great talent that ordinary people do not have, also possessed a very high level of intelligence, and he was perhaps the only human being who grabbed more from the devil's contract than the devil who signed the contract, including playing with people's hearts. ”
