Chapter Ninety-Five: The Pope

Early the next morning, the Imperial envoy met with Benjamin and the others again.

"His Royal Highness the Pope Lufasi, I have already reported the situation here to His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty the Emperor hopes that you can ask for an oracle as soon as possible, and His Majesty the Emperor has also explained that I just hope that you can attract the attention of the Holy See a little, instead of letting you face the attack of the Holy See alone. ”

"I understand, Your Excellency. Lu Faxi nodded, and according to what Benjamin had explained before, he said: "When the Imperial legions arrive, I can prepare to ask for an oracle, after all, there are not enough believers to complete this matter now, and ask the envoy to tell His Majesty the Emperor." ”

It was late at night, and it was almost winter, and although Havaca was not as cold as in the northern part of the Empire, it was also a climate that required a fireplace in the room to keep warm. It is precisely because of this that after the reconstruction of Havaca, the original residents have already moved to the new town, which at this time is the temple of the new papal see, where there are almost no irrelevant people during the day, let alone the cold of the night.

At this time, a figure appeared from the post house where the imperial envoys were stationed, and then four or five figures appeared out of nowhere to converge with this person, and after a moment's effort, these people seemed to have received some instructions, nodded and disappeared into the night in an instant, and the figure also looked around, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, he turned around and returned to the post house.

Suddenly, a dazzling light pierced the night sky, and several fires in the new city were lit up, and soon the entire city was dyed red, and the screams of women and children were suddenly chaotic......

"Master, there was a sudden fire on the other side of the new city. Lufasi knocked on Benjamin's door and said anxiously.

"Sudden fire, is it serious?" Hearing the sudden fire, the astrologer's instinct for danger struck Benjamin's heart.

"Well, it's serious, and there were several fires at the same time, but the guards didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and the patrols didn't see it. ”

"You immediately tell Bederick to find out the cause of the fire, and the others will come to the temple at once. Benjamin knew that things might not be simple, but it was a little strange why he hadn't noticed anything wrong before, and it stands to reason that the inhabitants of Havaca had been "censored", and there could be no conspiracy.

"Yes, master. With that, Lufasi turned and walked out. But not long after he walked out, Benjamin heard a scream from Lufasi.

"What's going on?" Benjamin asked with some confusion after finding Lufasi lying on the ground, twitching, and finding that there was no trace of anyone around.

"God of Light, God of Light......" Lu Fasi's forehead was covered with drops of sweat, his expression looked pained, and he struggled to answer: "The divine fire of the God of Light, I, me, and the soul ......"

Benjamin heard Lufasi speak in fits and starts, not in a single sentence, but he knew what he meant. Immediately, he no longer hesitated, stretched out his right index finger, and the fingertip glowed with his divine light and pointed at the middle of Lu Faxi's forehead, and immediately Benjamin felt a burning heat rushing towards him.

Benjamin didn't dare to take it hard, he originally just planned to inject his divine power into Lu Faxi's body, wanting to protect his soul, but he didn't expect the divine fire of the God of Light to be so strong, if he hadn't collected it quickly, I was afraid that he would have been injured by this divine fire. He shook his head helplessly, after all, he just had a god position, and his strength was not as good as even the lowest pseudo-god, let alone the god of light.

It's just that what Benjamin didn't expect was that the God of Light would actually attack such a small and inconspicuous priest, could it be because he was his new pope and was detected by the God of Light? Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but hit a spirit, if this is really the case, I am afraid that the Holy See has now learned the news.

"Master," Lu Faxi seemed to get used to it, although his face was still ugly at this time, but his expression was not as painful as before, "It was a sneak attack by the people of the Holy See, but it was the power of the real Light Divine Fire. ”

"Oh, then, this man should be very strong. After Benjamin heard Lu Fasi's explanation, he was also a little surprised, he was able to borrow the power of the real divine fire, no wonder he and the others couldn't find out the existence of this person.

"Well, but he doesn't seem to want to kill me, otherwise my soul would have been burned to ashes by the divine fire. Lu Fasi also said to Benjamin with some confusion.

"Can you think of who this man is?" Benjamin also knew that this man was merciful, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Uh......" Lu Faxi thought about it, there are not many people who can borrow the power of the real divine fire, Lu Faxi quickly finished thinking about it, but he still seemed very hesitant, and said: "There are not many people who can borrow the power of the real divine fire, even if it is at the level of the archbishop, there are only those holy bishops, and only the head of the knights can do it, and I don't know about the divine envoy and the divine hell." ”

"So that's the only way to do it?" asked Benjamin, frowning.

"No......" Lu Fasi shook his head and said, "I know those archbishops, if it were them, I could feel it just now, but the person who attacked me definitely didn't feel like those archbishops, let alone the head of the Knights." ”

"Oh, then, according to what you said, it can only be a divine envoy or a person from the Divine Prison?" After Benjamin heard Lu Faxi's explanation, he was also a little uncertain, the Divine Envoy had never dealt with the people in the Divine Prison himself, and he didn't know what his strength was.

"It shouldn't be them, the divine envoys and the people of the Divine Prison generally ignore the affairs of the Holy See......," Lu Faxi also wondered, and for a while he didn't think much about who it would be, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, but he quickly shook his head and smiled as if he were laughing at himself.

"Who do you think of?" asked Benjamin, seeing the change in Lufasi's expression.

"Well, I'm talking nonsense, master. ”

"Who is it?" Benjamin didn't care whether Lu Fasi was cranky or not, and at such a time, he didn't dare to be careless.

"Yes......" Lu Faxi hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Just as he was hesitating, a voice sounded, and after Lu Faxi heard it, his whole person trembled involuntarily......

"Hehe, Lufasi, say what you think. ”

As the words fell, a silhouette glowing with golden light appeared in front of the two of them. Benjamin was a little surprised, the golden light was not dazzling, but he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came.

"Teach...... The Pope?" Lufasi said with a shudder.

"Pope, Holy See's Pope?" Benjamin turned to Lufasi, and saw that Lufasi only nodded vigorously, but couldn't say a word.

"Hehe, you're a little Lu Fasi. The silhouette of the pope said with a smile, and his tone was full of kindness.

"Yes, yes. Lufasi replied in a whisper, as if he was afraid.

"You need not be afraid of me," said the Pope, then turned to Benjamin and said, "Forget it, call you His Highness the Grim Reaper." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's not anymore anyway. Benjamin could sense that the Holy See's pope didn't seem to be hostile to him, which surprised Benjamin a little, and he couldn't help but be more cautious.

"Well, can I talk to you?" the Pope seemed to sense Benjamin's attitude, "That fire has nothing to do with me, it's Karl's people, and the people of the imperial capital. ”

"People from the imperial capital?" Benjamin looked at the post house in the distance with cold eyes, and quickly turned his eyes back, looked at the Pope and asked, "Why did you tell me this?"

"Your Highness......" The Pope waved his hand, Benjamin felt as if he was being grabbed by a big hand, and when he was about to resist, he found himself in an open place, and Lufasi was also brought over, "Please forgive me for being reckless and inviting you here." The silhouette of the Pope also appeared in front of the two of them, as if the three of them had changed their backgrounds in an instant.

Benjamin didn't expect this Holy See's pope to have such a strong strength, just imagine that if he wanted to attack himself, I'm afraid he would have no power to resist. Benjamin frowned, but his strength was not as good as that of others, and he couldn't complain about the Pope, so he had to say: "Since you brought us here, what is the matter, you can say." ”

"This is my divine domain," Benjamin and Lufaxi were a little shocked as soon as the Pope spoke, "I have already become a false god, but ......" The Pope suddenly looked a little lost, and after a pause, he continued: "I'm afraid that I will never be able to condense the godhead and become a real inferior god." ”

"Oh?" Benjamin didn't expect this pope, who had become a false god, to say such a thing, generally speaking, if he could ignite a divine fire and become a false god, it would be a matter of course to condense the godhead, and as the pope of the Holy See, how could he lack the power of faith. However, at this moment, the pope said such things, which made Benjamin a little puzzled for a while.

"Your Highness the Grim Reaper, I beg your pardon," the Pope looked at Benjamin apologetically, and continued, "Although you have the position of the Lord God, I am afraid that you know very little about the understanding of the gods." ”

"Yes, that's right. Benjamin didn't hide anything, because Benjamin understood that the pope, who had become a false god, did not have any ill will towards himself.

"When a person's strength reaches the limit of this plane's accommodation, if he wants to make a breakthrough, he can only forcibly ignite the divine fire and become a false god," the Pope seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was telling Benjamin, "and after becoming a false god, there needs to be a large number of believers who continue to dedicate their faith power, so that they can slowly condense the godhead and become a true god." ”

Benjamin didn't want to interrupt, but he wondered a little, as the Holy See's Pope, how could he lack the power of faith of his followers? Even if these believers believed in the God of Light, the Pope, as the spokesman of the God of Light in this plane, could absorb part of the power of faith in a righteous and bright way, and how could he say that he would never be able to condense the Godhead? Could it be that even this Pope ...... Benjamin looked at the Pope in disbelief, but he could clearly feel that the Pope was exuding a very pure power of light.

The Pope seemed to sense Benjamin's question, and smiled at Benjamin, but what he said next made Benjamin completely stunned:

"Alas, the God of Light has long since abandoned his devout followers, the Holy See!"
