"More important things?" Sinampe frowned, what does this more important matter have to do with Benito's business network? That Benito is just an ordinary merchant in Lelan City, even if he has the title of Speaker and has been at the helm of Lelan for a while, but compared to a big man like the Pope, no matter what he achieves, he is just a fluorescent rotten grass.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't believe it either, but Mr. Adriatic's ambassador reported to me that when they were investigating Selman's business intelligence, they tracked down someone trafficking embargoed goods to Selman. The Pope said, shaking his head.

Sinampe shrugged helplessly: "You mean that Benito is involved in this matter? But he is just a small businessman." If even he can participate in such a thing, then it means that Saranyi is not far from destruction. ”

"You're right. The Pope nodded, "It is true that the people of this land are far richer than the rest of the land, but correspondingly, the greed in the hearts of the people is magnified by the accumulation of wealth. Mr. Si, you may not know that not only ordinary merchants, but also Jenova and Adria, who have always competed with the Selmans at sea, will also conduct private transactions with the Selman Empire on an official level. ”

"Private transactions at the official level?" Si Nanpei thought for a while before he understood the meaning of this sentence.

If on land, the emperor's Odisia is the biggest opponent of the Selman Empire, then on the sea, Jenova and Adria are worthy of being the fateful enemies of Selman.

"I can't imagine how big this underground trading network is, and I don't dare to uproot them - I'm too old to have that much courage. But. According to the intelligence of the Adriatics......"

"Just say it, Your Majesty the Pope. Sinampe interrupted the Pope's words with a frown, not because he was too bold, but because he was too worried, "What incident did Benito participate in? ”

Sinampei obviously misunderstood what the Pope meant.

The Pope shook his head: "No. That's not necessary. After all, that Mr. Benito was just an ordinary businessman, and the matter was not complicated, except that a while ago, he was involved in a case of selling holy relics to the Selman Empire......"

"Selling holy relics?!" Sinampei's jaw dropped in shock, "You mean...... Possess magical powers...... Oh no, the kind that has the power of faith?"

If it was still on the earth, of course Sinampei would not worry about any holy relics, after all, this kind of thing is a cultural relics smuggling case, and a person of the Pope's level should not pay attention to it personally. If it is the Shroud of Jesus or the jade seal of the country, it is worth paying attention to, but if it is a so-called holy relic, it is really just a chorre for the Pope.

However, this is in Eugenia, a continent of magic and magic - although a mage may not even be able to beat a knight in terms of combat effectiveness.

The so-called holy relics, which condense the beliefs of believers, can produce some incredible power, right?

"That's right, like you said, the kind of holy thing that holds people's power on it. From what I know. That Mr. Benito may not have known what he was involved in, but he played an important role in it. This makes it quite difficult for us to investigate. To tell you the truth, this incident has really had a great impact on us. So I hope that Mr. Si will assist us in our investigation and help us recover the relics. The Pope looked directly into Sinampei's eyes and said, "I hope you can tell me everything you know, and don't hide anything." ”

What is it that deserves the Pope's nervousness? But Sinampei felt that he was anxious.

But he didn't want to tell the Pope everything he knew. As the price of leaving his life from Sinampe, Benito handed over his gray transaction chain to Sinampe. There is a huge stake in this, and even if he has the technology that is centuries ahead, he can't underestimate the profits.

However, the will of the Pope is still something he cannot disobey.

“...... Well, Your Majesty. I'll tell you everything I know, but it's very messy, it's huge, and I need to go back and put together a solid document. That way, you'll look a little smoother too. It's just ......"

"Say, Mr. Si, I won't blame you. The Pope seems to have guessed what Sinampei is going to say.

Si Nanpei lowered his head: "It's just that there are some illegal transactions involved." In the past, Benito was doing it, but now ......"

"Alright, I see, Mr. Si. The Pope shook his head, "I'll assume I don't know." Actually, that kind of thing...... Everybody is doing it. Also, I hope you can get that document out as soon as possible and send someone to me tomorrow. That could be the fate of Roman City......"

Sinan Pei didn't dare to speak more, just sat on the chair and pretended to be calm.

Is the fate of Roman City at stake? Is the thing that Benito sold really that important?

"Alright, Mr. Si, let's not talk about that for now. The Pope waved his hand, "I'd like to talk to you about the Selmans first." ”

"Your Majesty, that should be something to be discussed at the meeting the day after tomorrow, right? And this kind of big thing, it is always good to gather all the big people to discuss it together, you talk about this with me alone and a small character, and I can't bear it if others know about it. Sinan Pei said half-jokingly.

"No, I'm not here today to talk to you about something specific, but to discuss strategic issues with you. ”

"Strategically?" Si Nanpei smiled, no matter what, this word seems to be more lofty than any practice, right?

"Well, I've been getting a little apprehensive lately, and although I've talked to a lot of older people, it's clear that they're all scoffing at it. But I'm still reassured of my subordinates. The Pope shook his head and said, "Mr. Si, do you think the Selman Empire will give up its land offensive and come directly across the sea, and after occupying the islands in the Central Sea, go directly into the hinterland of our Rite Sect?"
