CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER 69
"Hehe, let it continue to be legendary, I've never been very interested in legends. The Pope smiled, flicking his fingers with a white glow, and the ring at the end of the hilt slipped off. The monstrous dark aura on the hilt of the sword was just about to gush out when the hilt of the sword fell back into the water of the sunwell in his pocket.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Bishop Inham said suddenly.
"Congratulations on me?" the Pope looked at the bishop with interest. "Congratulations on getting this hot potato?"
"No, congratulations that Your Majesty has not lost his composure and reason under the aura of this sword hilt, and has not lost himself. His Majesty's temperament has at least surpassed that of the previous Pope. ”
"I've always been more interested in something real. The Pope took the ring on his hand and looked at it, smiled slightly, and nodded. Good words are indeed what everyone loves to hear, no matter how high the heart is, no matter how deep the city government is, especially when these words are not bad. "Why, Inham, don't you have any interest in this thing, as a member of the Valley of Desya, can you not be moved by this artifact?"
"Not at all distracted. Bishop Inham smiled wryly. "Every necromancer can feel the horror contained in this guiding sword from their soul when they receive the imprint of the dark star. So no one is really interested in that legendary king of the dead except for those who have their brains burned out by ** and other things. ”
The Pope nodded, "That's fine." It's just a bait, please come here. To be honest, I really wanted to meet him. ”
Soon after, when Bishop Inham returned to Erathia, only the Pope and Lancelot remained. Lancelot only then asked, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to kill this person." ”
When he said this, there was not the slightest murderous and hideous on his face, as if he was giving a pertinent suggestion to his friend, he was still honest, steady, and above board, and he was in close proximity to the code name of Paladin.
The Pope didn't answer directly, but said, "Well, you almost did it, and it's rare to see that you take the initiative to show hostility to someone." ”
From the moment he stepped inside, the distance between Lancelot and Bishop Inham, as well as the momentum and attention locked on him, were in a state where he could shoot at any time and was almost ready to strike. At such a distance, no mage could win the slightest chance of life from the hands of a supreme swordsman like him.
Lancelot muttered, "Even if it wasn't what he had arranged, now that Negan's affairs are over and the situation is clear, I think he's much more dangerous than his usefulness." It's better to kill this kind of person. Actually, I thought His Majesty would definitely agree. ”
The Pope asked lightly, "Yes." So where do you think the most dangerous place for him is?"
Lancelot muttered, "The most dangerous thing about him is that he doesn't seem to feel his danger at all. No matter where you look at it, it seems that he really doesn't need anything, has no ambitions. It is indeed a very useful look. But I always felt that he was dangerous. ”
"Feel ......" The Pope narrowed his eyes, as if to take in the feeling of the 'feeling' in Lancelot's words, and nodded. "Maybe...... But it's true that you can't kill him now... With another war against Orfo imminent, Erathia must be led by him, and his relationship with Queen Catherine is the best bridge for us to control Erathia. Since he wants to show absolute cooperation and obedience to me, it is exactly what I want. And his puppet Hawkeye has a role in the battle situation that no one else can replace. ”
"Everything is up to Your Majesty. ”
"And now it's not the time to worry about him, nor about Oufu, but about this. The Pope gestured to the pocket that had been placed on the table. "The bait, though big, was good. But it seems that the temptation is too great, and I am a little worried that it will not only attract the kid. ”
"Your Majesty is saying... Sandru and Aegrenel, are they and other necromancers?"
"It seems that this boy went to Morriel with the hilt of his sword, so that means that neither Sandru nor Egrenel expressed their reluctance to wade into this muddy water. But after all, this thing has been a sacred relic in the Valley of Deya for hundreds of years. ”
Even if the Diya Valley is now dead, even if the two acting guildmasters have withdrawn, it doesn't matter who it is, no matter what kind of force it is. When there is a possibility that they may touch their bottom line, they still have to think about it again.
The Pope smiled wryly and continued: "I really don't want to take this hot thing if I can. But it can't be helped...... From the puppet Hawkeye, it has been observed that Orf has been sending troops towards the Sandface Pulse, and seems to be planning to open a mine there. The Tower of Teeth has also allied with them, helping them teach orc magic and make scrolls..."
"What? They have mined in the Sandface Mountains?how can those magicians in the Tower of Tooth ......" Lancelot's face changed. He also knew very well what the concept of mining magic gems in batches in the Sandface Mountains and then making them into scrolls was.
The Pope smiled bitterly again, and the bitter smile became more and more bitter, and he, the old man who sat on the top of power on the mainland, now looked like a poor old man who owed someone else a loan shark. "As a mage, I understand them, I can imagine what it was like to have a large number of Star Eyes and all sorts of top-notch magic gems in front of me...... It's just that in this way, as long as they produce scrolls and magic items on a large scale, then we will not be in a good position. Can you imagine hundreds of fire, thunder, and other supreme magic coming out of the hands of orcs? It might be more spectacular than the forbidden spell, and I promise it's more of a headache than the forbidden spell...... That's the end of humanity......"
"So at this time, the hilt of that kid and the black star is our trump card, and we have to receive the trump card in our hand, so no matter how hot this hilt is, I have to take it down. ”
"That kid and this hilt are the trump cards against Orfo?" Lancelot frowned, his face full of puzzlement.
"Yes, why else would I keep asking you to bring that kid to me? You said, I'm only interested in real things. That's why Ronis wanted that kid in the first place... He is dead now, and I am the only one in this world who knows the secret uncovered by His Majesty Deken, I'm afraid even those necromancers don't know the effect of this sword, no, even if they do, they probably won't dare to do it......"
The Pope let out a long sigh and patted the armrest of his chair, he looked tired now. "It's not easy to sit in this position...... In the highest position on the mainland, it is naturally also the heaviest burden......"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, you can do whatever you want. Lancelot knelt down on one knee. "No matter what kind of enemy it is, no matter what happens, I, Lancelot, will protect you. ”
"Yes. You have always been the most reassuring and trusted person for me. The Pope smiled at the paladin in front of him, a look of genuine relief in his eyes. "Because I know very well that you are not loyal to me. You are loyal to everyone. ”
The Pope stepped out of his chair and walked up to Lancelot to help him up. "You're not my subordinate, I can't afford such a subordinate, you're my friend. ”
