Chapter 192: The Legendary Pope
"The Pope wants to see me?" He Jinshui pinched his nose and looked incredulous.
In the information of the Pip-Boy, he once knew something about this mysterious Pope, and found that the other party was simply a legend. The bizarre story and the twists and turns of his life are like passing through the characters, with an aura of rebellion from beginning to end.
Born into a poor family, he couldn't speak until he was three years old, and sat at the door of his house all day, staring out the window. His parents thought he was a fool and even thought of abandoning him. Unexpectedly, when he was five years old, he seemed to suddenly open his mind, and he could recite a large number of temple scriptures without a teacher, which immediately shocked the Quartet. When people around him asked him where he had learned the scriptures, he replied that someone had taught him to recite them in his dreams.
Such a legendary story naturally attracted the attention of the temple, and a cardinal led several priests to personally visit the school when he was 7 years old. I can't imagine that the other party can answer them one by one, and some obscure places are even more profound than the old priest who has been in the Bible for decades. Everyone was amazed, and they all thought it was a miracle of creation, and immediately absorbed it into the religion and trained it as a key talent.
He lived up to expectations, systematically studied all the canons and scriptures before he was 10 years old, and since then he has traveled with the bishop, his guide, to preach and teach, and even personally eradicate evil. At the age of 30, he took over the mantle of leading the way, becoming the youngest cardinal in history.
In the same year, there was a great drought in the Catherman Empire, and there was not a drop of rain throughout the year, and the people were miserable and miserable. He personally set up to beg for rain to the sky, knelt on the ground for three days and three nights without drinking or eating, and did not sleep. His devotion moved the gods, and it rained heavily for a week, filling up all the dry reservoirs and rivers, and immediately solving the water crisis. His deeds shocked the world, and the Pope called him a miracle, and personally named him the only candidate for the next pope.
Since then, his career has been smooth sailing, and before the age of 40, he has fully realized the divine grace and reached the realm of the Dharma God, 10 years earlier than Samuel of the Seven Samurai. When he was 45 years old, the Pope died of illness, and he succeeded him as Philips XVIII.
Soon after the Pope ascended the throne, he carried out drastic institutional reforms. Although he was violently impeached at first, he quickly gained a firm foothold, firmly grasped the personnel, financial, and military aspects, suppressed the opposition one by one, and smoothly carried out the reform.
In terms of foreign relations, he had insight into the contradiction between monarchy and divine power, and after Alexander, the lord of a generation, took the initiative to adjust the scope of theocracy, reduced the number of temple knights, lowered the standard of temple taxes, reduced the interference of religious forces in state affairs, and sought win-win cooperation with a lower attitude.
In terms of personnel system, he changed the past practice of recruiting members from the powerful, and founded the Templar Knights Academy, which recruited a large number of orphans and children of poor families to enter the school for free. These people had no worries, endured hardships and stood hard work, and soon a group of outstanding cadets emerged, quickly filling the gap in the middle and lower ranks of officers in the Order. The combat effectiveness of the troops increased rapidly, and they were loyal to him.
In terms of strategic policy, he started from the viewpoint of God's love for the world, extended the teachings of fraternity and equality outward, and put forward the idea of inheriting the will of his ancestors and completely destroying the demon gods. It is believed that all forces that can be united, whether religious or not, can seek cooperation. Those who have money will contribute money, and they will unite to destroy the demon god and lift the thousand-year-old shackles on the heads of mankind.
Under his leadership, the Cult of Creation's combat effectiveness has increased significantly, the external environment has greatly improved, and cooperation with the Empire has entered a honeymoon period. The whole temple is united, sharpening their swords, and they have already begun to prepare for the upcoming third battle of sealing demons.
He Jinshui has an absurd feeling that the Pope has insight beyond this era, and his way of thinking about current affairs has completely jumped out of the existing framework, and it is even very likely that he is a time-traveling person like himself.
When the other party invites you to be a guest, is it possible that you want to push the cup and change the lamp, and exchange the mental journey through the big adventure together? It's really funny, it's so funny, it's completely impossible!
The otaku hesitated for a moment before nodding vigorously and said, "Since Lord Kean sincerely invited, how dare Xiao Ke not comply." Tomorrow morning I will visit the temple on time to listen to the teachings of the Pope and his old man. ”
The bear was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "We will be waiting for you!" and as he said so, he shook hands with the other man, and after signaling to Ferdinand, he waved his hand to the knights behind him, and everyone turned on their horses and galloped back to the temple.
Before leaving, Kaidong's mouth opened, as if he still had something to say, but unfortunately time waited for no one, so he had to rush out with everyone.
"Okay, there is no banquet in the world, and we should say goodbye for the time being!" Ferdinand patted He Jinshui on the shoulder and said with a smile. The psychology of the otaku,Suddenly a feeling that is difficult to give up,More than a month of getting along,He learned the fighting spirit and martial arts from the other party,And was also impressed by the other party's free and uninhibited,Since then, I have parted,Stunned。
......
Night, Bronze Crown Hotel. Alihan, Lance, Jasmine, and Ashin have not yet returned, and the room they have booked is empty.
Arnold and the little madman were drinking and chatting in the lobby, and today they saw Kaidong and had the heart to give each other a little color to see, but they were scolded by He Jinshui. The two didn't dare to talk much, so they had to turn the resentment of their whole bodies into appetite, and drank as much as they could, so that they could get drunk.
In the private room, He Jinshui sat on top, and Amy and Ai sisters sat together, drinking tea and chatting, and chatting happily.
Amy took out the account book of the corps, and after calculating in front of everyone, she happily announced that the Reis mercenary group had more than 30,000 gold coins in liquidity since it had been in operation for more than half a year. If it weren't for Amy and Alihan's lucrative recruitment, it is estimated that there would be more left.
"God, 30,000!" Ai Mingjia seemed to be taken aback, her handsome face turned red, and her mouth became a duck egg, which was indescribably cute. She remembered that when the elven tribe was living in poverty in the past, her father sighed for a long time, worrying about the cost of dozens of gold coins at every turn, and she couldn't imagine that this guy in front of her was so powerful, and he earned so much money in a short period of time. Oh my God! Her whole life of rouge and gouache is just a fraction.
"Not bad!" He Jinshui nodded, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The Corps can have today, and your Miss Amy is indispensable!"
"Look at what you said!" Amy covered her mouth and smiled, her heart blossomed, and she said with a smile: "This is still thanks to your brave martial marquis! Over this time, your boy has become the number one hero in the city! People stepped through the threshold to visit, and countless orders flew like snowflakes. Everyone was so busy that even Jack and the others wanted to drop out of school and come back to help. Do you think you're very attractive?"
The more she talked, the happier she became, as if she was indulging in fantasies about the future, and her eyes involuntarily radiated a money-colored light, and she said happily: "How to go on the road of the Corps, you still need to be at the helm!" (To be continued.) )
