Chapter Eighty-Three: St. Martin
"This book is good, put it away. "www.biquge.infoRichard picked up a holy book from the altar and threw it to the costumed knight next to him.
Martin shrugged his shoulders and said, "This holy book is very ordinary, if you want to take it...... I think you want more than just ransom...... Well, you're showing strength and determination to the church. ”
Richard was surprised and said, "You're too smart." ”
"Your Chinese Archbishop almost killed this young master in Kalando, so he's here to take revenge. Reilly pointed at Richard and said.
"Huawen, he is a dog of the church, a bad dog. However, for the church to develop, such a person is indispensable, in fact, you don't have to pay too much attention to him, sooner or later such a person will become a victim. ”
Martin's remarks were so surprising that Reilly looked at him with interest and asked, "What do you think of Richard's strength and determination?"
"Impressive. Martin exclaimed heartily, and then said, "As I understand it, Your Excellency Richard is not doing this to start a war, but to avoid it, right?"
Richard played with a helmet and said, "I like you a little now, and I'm not tired of talking to you at all." ”
"It's not hard to guess, now the top of the church, including Hua Wen and the Pope, should know that the consequences of going to war with you are very serious, so I believe they will think carefully before continuing to provoke you. Speaking of this, Martin looked at Reilly again: "This ...... What do you call it?"
"My name is Reilly. As he spoke, Reilly pointed at Michael again: "It doesn't matter what his name is, I won't introduce him." ”
“......”
Richard and Martin looked at each other, and such a divine turn was truly speechless.
“...... Well, before going to war, they will definitely carefully consider Lord Reilly's attitude. Martin spread his hands and said, "Of course, if you choose to go to war in this situation, it will be the result of careful consideration." ”
"That's not bad either. Reilly smiled with satisfaction. What they want is for them to think it through, and when those people think about everything, he and Richard will not be what they are now.
"Even if they think about it, they will find that the cost of being my enemy is much greater than they thought. Richard said lightly.
Martin said nonchalantly, "That's their business." Ha, listen to your tone, you already think of me as your own. ”
It was then that Richard realized that he had unwittingly divided Martin into 'we', and the other upper echelons of the church were 'they'.
"Is this your special ability?" asked Richard.
"It's a gift, an innate talent, like people's bloodline abilities, and has nothing to do with faith. This ability is what I call charismatic. Martin said with a serious face.
Richard was also in awe, and those who possessed such abilities were true geniuses, charismatic, and worthy of their name.
Martin immediately regained his smile and said nonchalantly: "This ability just makes people feel naturally close to me, and if I really want to trick them, it will definitely cause vigilance, so it is actually useless." ”
Reilly glanced at him and said, "Don't pretend to be X, pretend to be X and be struck by lightning." ”
The guy was light-hearted, but Reilly was well aware that charisma could exert great power in certain areas, such as religion and politics.
At this moment, a knight in costume came running and said, "My lord, all the priests have taken care of them, now do you want to escort them to the car?" There are a few people in it who are very seriously injured, and I doubt that they will die on the way. ”
"Don't doubt it. Reilly spread his hands and said, "Those people have overdrawn their vitality in the battle just now, and they can't afford to travel long distances. If you insist on taking them with you, you will definitely die on the way. ”
When Richard was muttering, Martin next to him interjected: "I have a suggestion, since what you want is a ransom and the church will stop bothering you, then it is enough to bring me with you, and you can make an offer to the Church of Radiance." ”
Richard looked at Martin and said, "Sounds great, but are you worth so much money?"
"There are only two cardinals as young as me in the church, and my title in the church is St. Martin, do you think I'm worth it?"
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "St. Martin, the next pope who is scheduled to be elected." ”
Martin shook his head and said, "It's just a candidate...... The next pope will be either me or the Messiah. ”
"This identity is enough, now let's go and see what other holy relics can be taken in this temple. Richard said.
"When it comes to holy relics, there is nothing in this temple that can compare to this holy book in my hands. Martin raised the canon in his hand and said, "Of course, you can also take some more valuable things, but there are a few things that are better not to take away, that will anger the church." ”
"Don't touch anything that is historically significant, like the toilet used by Saint Louis. Reilly reminded.
"Who's going to touch that kind of thing. Richard glared at him fiercely.
"No, that kind of thing is long gone. Martin's face darkened, too.
Reilly picked up a chalice from the altar and said as he played with it, "You seem to have been helping Richard." ”
"I'm helping myself. ”
Richard said, "Is that true of you and the holy texts in your hands, plus a few less important holy things?"
"Yes, exactly. ”
"And this cup, I took it. With that, Reilly put the chalice into the spatial ring.
Both Richard and Martin were a little surprised, this thing was of no value at all, it was just an ordinary golden cup, and there was nothing special about it except that it had been placed on the altar for hundreds of years to hold holy water.
Of course, if Martin knew that Reilly was a demigod, then he would not agree to the other party taking the cup anyway, because that would mean that Reilly could analyze all the rules represented by the Lord of Radiance, and even use some special means to directly attack the Lord of Light.
At this time, the knights had already searched the entire temple and brought some special looking holy relics, and Richard picked for a while, and finally chose three weapons and a broken shield. The two most famous artifacts of St. Louis Cathedral, a long sword used by the Lord of Light before lighting the divine fire, and the holy robe worn by Saint Louis, Richard did not move, he only took some ordinary holy relics.
St. Louis Cathedral suddenly fell, the entire Holy Tree Dynasty was shaken, Richard used strange troops, in a blink of an eye, he slaughtered into the hinterland of the dynasty and captured the city of Tobul, which made all the nobles in the northeast disgraced, and the emperor immediately issued an order for the nearby nobles to fully mobilize, and no matter what, Richard could not escape from the territory of the dynasty.
There was an uproar within the Church of Radiance, and the abduction of St. Martin was no small matter. On the surface, the Son is only one of the candidates for the Pope, but he is in fact the appointed Pope, and the Messiah is the one who will take over the Dark Templar and the Inquisition. When the current pope heard that Richard had no major desecration in the Cathedral of St. Louis and that he was polite to the priests, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately sent an envoy to find Richard, ready to negotiate with him, and discuss the issue of releasing St. Martin.
