Unlike the magnificence and opulence of the Cathedral of Light, the Pope's office was surprisingly austere. A small stone room, a few straw mats, and a stone platform with scriptures on one side are all the decorations in this room, and it is simply unbelievable.

You must know that the Church of Light is the richest country in the entire continent, and due to the devout beliefs of all its citizens, the people do not have much personal property, and almost most of their income is religiously and voluntarily donated to the church. For thousands of years, the Church of Light has gathered the wealth of countless people, and according to the style of those secular emperors and nobles, the office of this pope should be extremely luxurious and luxurious.

Leo didn't expect the Pope's office to be so simple and simple, and he couldn't react for a while, and he was slightly stunned when he stood behind the white cardinal who led the way. As if seeing the shock of Leo's heart after entering the door, the two generations of Bright Popes, San Francisco and San Paulo, who were sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, smiled slightly at the same time.

"Your Excellency the Honorable Grand Duke of Pritz has come from afar, and it has been hard work!" St. Paul and Leo had a relationship with each other after all, and he was the first to greet him.

Leo reacted at this time, hurriedly saluted the two popes, and then sat down cross-legged on the straw mat in the same way. When Leo sat down with Feng Xifan and Immorton, the white-clothed cardinal who led the way saluted and withdrew.

It was only at this time that Leo officially met the legendary Pope San Francesco, a generation of heroes who had worked hard to completely suppress the Dark Council and the Gray Bone Sect, and even the major temples on the mainland, and maintained the power of the Church of Light for decades.

Leo looked up and looked at the past, this Pope of San Francisco was not as tall and mighty as rumored, but had a rickety body, snow-white beard, and a face full of furrows and folds to show his old age. If it weren't for a pair of deep and bright eyes and the natural momentum of a superior who was not angry and arrogant, he would be almost no different from the ordinary old man outside.

At this time, Pope San Francisco was also looking at Leo, a legendary young man who had stepped from an abandoned family to the height of self-reliance, and was simply the darling of the gods. If it weren't for the belief that the god of light didn't pay attention to Leo, and that no miracles had appeared on him from other sources, Pope San Francesco would have even wondered if Leo was an apostle of a certain god.

"I am really a little surprised and relieved that Grand Duke Pritz was able to come to the Sect of Light and come alone!" the old Pope said with some emotion.

"Yes, I think His Excellency already knows about the gatherings of various countries besides you. It seems that this coronation ceremony, all countries are not good!" St. Paul still had a serious and cold expression, as if everyone seemed to owe him money.

"Hehe!" Leo chuckled and said, "I've heard of this, but in my opinion, even if the missions of various countries join forces, it won't be a big deal, after all, the Bright Sect is a theocrat, and some criticisms from secular countries can't affect the Sect!"

Hearing Leo's words, a hint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of Pope San Francisco, not many people can see through this matter, it seems that this Grand Duke of Pritz is really unusual, and he has not been bewitched by the Dark Council.

"I wonder what His Excellency thinks about this gathering of the nations and temples?" St. Paul's words were a little less cold.

Leo raised his eyes and looked at São Paulo, knowing that he was examining himself, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "My opinion is meaningless, after all, this matter has nothing to do with me, this is all your country's internal affairs." I just think that with the strength and heritage of the Church of Light, there is no need to be afraid of these challenges. ”

"Hahahaha!" Pope San Francisco opened his mouth and laughed a few times, and his heart thought even more highly of the Grand Duke. It's not just their own strength, the key is that they are clear-headed, sharp-eyed, and able to perceive the essence of the events that are being concealed, and such a person is exactly the ally that the Bright Sect needs to be.

"Your Excellency is so humble, the Church of Light has its own heritage, and I believe that your heritage is no less than that of the Sect!"

The Pope's words instantly made Leo feel a chill down the back of his head and down his spine, and the expression on his face stiffened unconsciously, and at the same time, Feng Xifan and Immorton's eyes also began to show unkindness.

Could it be that his secret has been seen through by the Church of Light? Now that he has turned against the Church of Light, will he lead the God of Light behind the scenes? Will the Arena of Gods be able to resist the God of Light?

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Leo's mind, and he almost couldn't help but stand up and draw his sword to face each other.

"No, don't be nervous!, Your Excellency, please trust the sincerity of the Church, we have no intention of making you hostile!" At this moment, Pope San Francisco waved his hand and said to Leo soothingly.

Leo's collapsed muscles relaxed slightly, and cold sweat couldn't help but quietly soak his back. Although he had long been prepared to turn against the Church of Light, it was undoubtedly much more dangerous to do it in this place that was claimed to be the closest to the God of Light.

Seeing that Leo was relaxed and no longer in a tense posture, Pope San Francesco said: "Your Excellency, don't be nervous, although we had a misunderstanding in the early stage, it is all in the past, and the current Church of Light very much hopes to be friends with you, not enemies of each other." ”

After letting out a sigh of relief, Leo looked at the Pope with some confusion and asked a little tentatively: "I don't understand, the Principality of Pritz is just a small country, even if it is lucky enough to win a few battles, it should not be in the eyes of the Church of Light! I wonder why His Majesty the Pope would say this?"

In order to dispel Leo's hostility and suspicions, Pope San Francesco decided to be open and honest: "Perhaps Your Excellency does not know that when you were emerging in the Varu Empire, Cardinal Owen at that time had already begun to pay attention to you. Although the Church cannot preach openly under the suppression of various countries, it has always spared no effort to infiltrate various countries, and we know all about you thoroughly. ”

"This includes the various legions and generals under your command, and even we have tracked down this Master Feng who first appeared next to you!" Pope San Francisco turned his gaze to Feng Xifan: "But to our surprise, whether it is Master Feng or those legions and generals under your command, it seems that they all appeared out of thin air, and there was no conscription and trace to follow before!"
