Luo Yi, the Great Demon King of the Otherworld, was not mentally prepared for His Majesty the Pope's visit to Neustria.

When she learned that the "Flying Santsina" had entered port, she led people to meet the Neustrian mission, and as soon as she landed on deck, she heard the "good news" that made her thunder - "Have you got the archbishop's shawl?" "Nope." "No?" "But we got the Pope himself!"

According to the Pure Archbishop, he had wanted to save this surprise until he had set foot on land, but the Great Demon King was so concerned about it that he couldn't wait to inquire as soon as he got on the boat, so he ......

"Ahhhh

When the Great Demon King was disembarked, they explained to the people watching the excitement the reason why Her Majesty was unsteady and stumbling - "Her Majesty is seasick. ”

Faint your head-scratching boat! The ship has entered the harbor and is not floating on the sea!

Even so, she felt dizzy when she collapsed on the armchair in her office, and the world was spinning - she had clearly said that she was going to get the archbishop's shawl, but she had brought the Pope back! For me, the Great Demon King, it is enough to have an archbishop who is full of holy light, and isn't it asking for trouble to have another pope? We demon kings don't raise the pope in their house! What's more, now that everything is in ruins, the Great Demon King's family has no food to say-I have neither extra rooms nor extra dishes and chopsticks here!

When she had recovered a little bit of blood, she began to angrily denounce the head of the mission: "What the hell is going on? Okay, it's the archbishop's shawl that you're asking for, and although this shawl is just like that, it represents the Holy See's recognition of us! You took the Pope back. This is a complete tear with the Holy See! ”

The archbishop humbly said that the Great Demon King was too hasty to denounce him. “…… Don't you consider the possibility that he will come back with us of his own free will? ”

The Great Demon King ignored the other party's sincere eyes and scoffed at this: "You are an idiot and you have never seen the Pope's envoy!" How many retinues and stuff does he get if he comes voluntarily? Can you fit this ship? ”

"Yes. But don't you consider the possibility that he, recognizing how hypocritical, treacherous, and morally corrupt the high clergy and magnates of the Eternal City are, and who have turned away from the ways of the Lord, and who willingly left the Holy See of the Eternal City to live a pure, godly life as the scriptures teach, in order to live a pure life of worship? ”

"Really? I don't read much, don't lie to me—I think you're lying to me—if he wants to have this ambition, he's already joining your cousin's order, and he's waiting for you to go? "The Great Demon King easily debunked the other party's rhetoric, not because she had much religious knowledge, but because she also had basic common sense, and because she intellectually refused to allow another saint to come.

"Alas. You don't trust me so much. ”

"If you bring the archbishop's shawl, I'm sure you're pretty much the same, say, what's going on!"

"Their asking price is too high for us to pay."

“……”

"Two thousand pounds of gold, not counting handling fees and brokerage fees."

“…… It's so dark," the Great Demon King remembered something after sighing at this offer that was far beyond her mental capacity, "But, why don't you discuss it with them." What about counteroffers? Originally, they might be able to get a 20% discount on your cash? And, as I told you when we set off, you can use some of our specialties to offset it! "It's not mud anyway. It's made of weeds......

"A counteroffer? That's what they thought too! The archbishop snorted, indicating that the Great Demon King underestimated the other party and the other party's greed, "They dragged the former king's remnants to send a representative to appeal to us. Don't make a statement, wait for our respective quotes. and let us meet each other and argue, intending to teach us to raise our prices with each other. That's a good calculation! ”

"Woo......" The Great Demon King could only snort with a toothache in the face of this situation, it was within her plan to send the money, but the offer made by the other party was really much beyond her expectations, after all, the Pope's purchase price was only 1,500 pounds of gold, and she already felt very painful to pay 1,000 pounds, and she wanted 2,000 pounds - why didn't they grab it!

Well, now it's her own men who are desperate and go to rob it, to snatch the Pope back.

Since there is no money to satisfy the appetite of the other party, it is destined to not win the favor and support of the Holy See, so it does not seem like a bad plan to tear your face and loot the Eternal City, but what is the consideration of snatching the Pope back?

"Isn't a shawl just wool? We Neustria can also weave, but what is missing is the ceremony issued by the pope in public? Now that the Pope is in our hands, wouldn't it be okay to ask him to send one? ”

“…… Would he be willing? "The Pope, a creature like the Great Demon King, has never seen it before, and he won't know how to deal with it for a while.

"If you don't want to, you won't give him food, and when you agree to give him food!" The archbishop confidently said that he had already done so on the way to the Great Demon King.

"That's very good...... Wrong! What I want is not a shawl but the support of the Holy See, now that we have torn our faces with the Holy See, we have a lot of shawls in Neustria, why take back the Pope? ”

"Since you've torn your face, why don't you grab it if you have a chance to grab it?"

"......" The robber logic made the big demon king Luo Yi not know how to refute it, and finally only held back one sentence: "You won't grab something that can't eat and can be sold by weight!" ”

After holding back this sentence, she felt that she was very reasonable, she grabbed a pope back, and she had to give her food, and she had to wear it, and she couldn't cut it off and sell it for money, why didn't she grab some gold, silver, jewelry, and silk fabrics back? I can't eat, and I can charge military expenses and make up the budget! She didn't realize that her logic had been taken away by the other party, or that her mind had been polluted by this world of faith......

"Those who can't eat, and can sell by the pound are a little smoother," said the archbishop, reassuring the Great Demon King, and then giving his reasons fluently, "but we have too few men to rob, and we have limited what we can rob, of course we have to grab the most valuable, for example, fifteen hundred pounds of gold." ”

After a long time, if it weren't for the limited budget he was now - or poor in layman's terms - he could have robbed the entire Eternal City with only a few men and a boat?

"That won't work," said the archbishop with regret, "Francis told me that it's so far away that it can't be defended, so it is better to move the foundations of the Eternal City." ”

Okay, I really thought about robbing the whole city, but if I didn't rob it, I planned to occupy the mountain as the king.

"Foundation?"

"The Pope."

"This ...... Do you think he's a strange thing? But, as you said, fifteen hundred pounds of gold can buy the papal throne, what sanctity does he have? The group of people in the Eternal City can elect another pope in minutes, and those who have the right to elect a pope can make another fortune. ”

"That's what I want," replied the archbishop, "I and my abdicated predecessor, the pope and the pope have no abdicated predecessor, so it's even!" ”

"That's not right! Your predecessor has a group of subordinates who support you, and there are also the forces of the former king, and now this pope is hard to snatch back, and it is too late for him to oppose us! ”

"He's against us? Naturally, he supported us - he voluntarily abandoned his dignity and came to Neustria, with me - it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, those who want to believe it do, don't you? (To be continued......)
