......

With little hesitation, Ye Xiao made a decision: go!

Ye Xiao is not a person who is afraid of things, the Pope has personally invited him, if he doesn't go, doesn't it mean that he is afraid of the Holy See?

He now has a level 11 legendary insect general, even if he encounters the Pope head-on, he will not suffer.

As for the Pope's intentions, when he goes to Jerusalem, he will naturally know.

Moreover, Jerusalem, as the holy city of the Holy See, is not only the location of the headquarters of the Holy See, but also one of the most prosperous and stable cities on the main road. The auction houses there must have stronger resource reserves than ordinary countries, and they may be able to buy all the resources they need at one time.

However, in this case, the original plan had to be adjusted.

Ye Xiao summoned Zhou Yu, Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun to talk about it. Who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with fierce opposition.

Zhao Yun wrung his eyebrows, his face full of disapproval: "Your Majesty, Jerusalem is the holy city of the Holy See, their base camp, and I don't know how many masters there are. In case the Holy See plots against you and tries to be unfavorable to you, even if Lu Bu is here, it will be difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, if there is a ...... in case."

"What's in case?" Lu Bu glanced at Zhao Yun and said in a low tone, "My subordinates will definitely do their best to protect Your Majesty, if the Holy See wants to hurt Your Majesty, the only way to do it is to step over my corpse!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu changed his words: "However, this move is indeed risky. Your Majesty has a golden body, there is no need to take such a risk. ”

In other words, Lu Bu disagreed.

Ye Xiao frowned, although the two of them had a point, he didn't think that the Holy See would dare to do anything to him in the Holy City. What's more, he is also a guest personally invited by the Pope, and if something goes wrong, the Holy See must take full responsibility.

Zhou Yu sighed lightly, shook the feather fan, and said, "Don't argue first, and listen to me." ”

Zhao Yun and Lu Buqi looked at Zhou Yu with a brush, and even Ye Xiao looked at him with some curiosity.

"In my opinion, the Pope's invitation must be made, otherwise it will be a loss of His Majesty's prestige. However, there is no need for His Majesty to take the risk himself. Zhou Yu shook the feather fan, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Use the prosthetic body to go." ”

After saying this, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Xiao was stunned. He hadn't used the prosthetic for a while, and he almost forgot that he still had this cheat.

Traveling to Jerusalem with a prosthetic body is indeed the safest option. Ye Xiao nodded and agreed with Zhou Yu's suggestion.

Next, Ye Xiao explained the next arrangements, including the ocean, the abyss, and the three aspects of the empire, to Zhou Yu. When he was away, Zhou Yu would coordinate the overall situation, and if he couldn't decide something, he would report it to himself.

And Lu Bu and Zhao Yun will follow his prosthetic body to Jerusalem. As for the queen, let her retreat with peace of mind~

After arranging the affairs of the territory, Ye Xiao began to make preparations before the launch.

Since the personal guard Qinglong was in the incubation pool, absorbing the last level 10 crystal nucleus, it would take at least half a day to hatch successfully, Ye Xiao was not in a hurry, and he was also slow to pack up his things.

Anyway, the Pope's invitation didn't write the time, so let him wait~

......

Jerusalem, the headquarters of the Holy See, was in fact an independent territory within the Holy Laurent Empire, and was not subject to any imperial control.

Located at the highest altitude in Grant Heights, she is known as the closest city to the sky on the mainland.

In the white clouds of the sky, a luxurious carriage dragged by a red flying dragon slowly crossed the sky in a leisurely manner.

A huge red dragon circled and flew around the carriage, faintly guarding it, occasionally letting out a long dragon groan, and its wings rolled up to set off gusts of wind.

The carriage flew slowly, and as it approached Jerusalem, it came to a halt.

Ye Xiao stretched out his hand to open the car door, stood on the wheel and looked out.

The sky was a deep sapphire blue, with fine clouds floating in the air, and the oncoming wind was unusually gentle, with the dryness and warmth characteristic of the plateau.

Beneath, on the banks of the ever-flowing Valen River, a city made of white stone lies silently on the ground.

From Ye Xiao's point of view, you can see the bustling crowd coming and going on the streets, and the whole city is shrouded in a noisy and quiet atmosphere.

The sun shines silently overhead, and the baroque church complex stands in the middle of the city, occupying a small half of the city, casting shadows on the ground.

Even though she was high in the air and couldn't see the details, Ye Xiao was still shocked by the bright colors, exquisite carvings, and complex structure of the church.

The Holy See is worthy of being the strongest religion in the mainland, and it is full of historical charm at a glance. Looking at this building, you can know that the Holy See must be very rich, and after so many years of accumulation, there are only more good things in the treasure house.

Ye Xiao secretly sighed in her heart, and at the same time strengthened her determination to bite off a piece of meat from the Holy See.

After observing for a while, Ye Xiao came back to his senses, and asked Qinglong, who was sitting on the wheel of the car to drive, to find a place to land, and he went back to the carriage.

In the carriage, Lu Bu was sitting cross-legged in the corner, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.

Moments later, in a square on the edge of Jerusalem, a huge shadow fell over her, and Teresa, the red dragon, flapped her wings and slowly descended.

The powerful wind pressure wrapped in a wind sharper than a knife rushed to the ground, cutting the ground through the cracks, and then surging in all directions like flowing water.

"It's a dragon!"

"Uh~~"

"Help!!"

The crowd that was walking in the square suddenly changed and fled in panic.

In the wind, one hat after another was blown away by the wind, and the wind that followed cut their robes and cut their bodies, and in a few moments the slower runners were already in rags, and their bare skin was covered with wounds, and drops of blood rolled down from the wounds and splashed on the white stone floor.

A young woman covered her chest with one hand and her legs with the other, covered in blood, screamed and rushed towards the edge of the square.

A child less than half a man tall stumbled and fell to the ground, but in a moment, his back became a blur of flesh and blood, and his face fainted pale.

As the red dragon descended, the entire square was filled with screams and cries.

Behind the red dragon, the noble and gorgeous carriage slowly descended and finally landed on the ground.

On the other side, the riots in the square finally caught the attention of the guards.

A translucent guardian barrier descended from the sky, isolating the red dragon from the surrounding crowd, and immediately after, white holy light fell from the sky and spread like water waves.

The holy light flickered, and the riotous crowd gradually settled down, the white light melted into the body, and the vertical and horizontal wounds slowly disappeared. However, although the pain was gone, the bright red blood stains on his body and the torn robes still looked embarrassed.

The priest who made the move stood quietly at the edge of the square, his face full of solemnity, and his white priest's robe swayed slightly, as if telling the unrest in his heart.

At the same time, in the highest and most ornately decorated church-like building in Jerusalem, the cardinal, dressed in a red robe and wearing a silver cross around his neck, hurried into the inner sanctuary.

"Your Majesty, the guards in the south of the city have just come to report that it is ...... The Worm Emperor is here. ”

The gray-haired, senile cardinal hung his head and had no courage to look up, with apprehension in his eyes.

It has been three full days since the invitation was issued, and in these three days, the Pope has not said anything, but the atmosphere in the inner sanctum has become solemn day by day. To this day, even the cardinals, who know the Pope best, do not dare to speak in front of the Pope at will, for fear of touching the Pope's heart and being used as a punching bag.

"What did the Insect Emperor do to the guards in the south of the city?"

A low and somewhat magnetic baritone voice sounded from the throne, the Pope's expression did not change in the slightest, even the crown above his head did not shake in the slightest, but in his deep gray eyes, there seemed to be wind and thunder.

The cardinal's head hung lower: "The red dragon under the Worm Emperor landed in the south square of the city without warning, causing a riot in the crowd, and many people were injured. However, the priest of the guard responded in time and the situation was already under control. ”

He spoke very quickly, without even a pause in between, and even his voice was cautious.

"Bang!"

The crystal lamp overhead suddenly burst, and countless crystalline fragments flew like scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden, and the golden ground of the inner sanctum was suddenly covered with fragments, shining slightly in the light.

The cardinal's body trembled slightly, and he stood stiffly in place, allowing the fragments of the crystal lamp to spill all over his body, not daring to even move, for fear of angering the Pope again.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely oppressive, and even the air seemed to freeze.

After a moment, the Pope's voice sounded again: "You immediately go to the southern city to greet the Worm Emperor in person." Bring him here to meet me. ”

Hearing this, the cardinal's heart was relieved, and he immediately bowed down and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty the Pope." ”

After saying that, he left the inner hall backwards, and then quickly arranged everything and hurried towards the south of the city.

A moment later, when Ye Xiao Shi Ran got out of the carriage, he saw the cardinal in a red robe at a glance.

From the south of the city to the main church, a passage was cleared at some point, and the red carpet stretched all the way.

On both sides of the passage, papal knights wore silver armor and rode white horses, with their guard of honor swords pointing to the sky, with solemn and respectful expressions.

The cardinal in red stood at the edge of the passage, his back straight, his gray hair swaying slightly in the wind, and the expression on his face was serious and serious.

With Ye Xiao's appearance, the cardinal's expression froze, and the momentum on his body exploded violently, and the surrounding crowd staggered back a few steps before stabilizing his body.

The red dragon, who was still majestic just now, suddenly fell silent.

A dignified atmosphere spreads through the square.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao smiled indifferently.

"Who are you?"
