Chapter 34: The Day Before the Audience
With Theresa's intelligence, it is not an exaggeration to call it the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, and she is also very good at regulating her emotions, but in the face of major events that are enough to collapse the three views, no matter how high the IQ and EQ are, it is useless.
For Theresa, being sold by her father, who does not have the same surname as herself, is more acceptable, but if she is sold by her mother who died young, it will become as unbearable as a hysterical offspring to come to this era to find her ancestors, and even more unacceptable.
After all, no matter how close their descendants are to themselves, they can't catch up with the love of raising them since childhood, right?
Although Si Nanpei couldn't understand this feeling, he could also imagine what it was like to be sold by his parents at the same time. A trace of happiness rose in Sinampei's heart, because he was sure that his parents who were still on earth loved him at all times.
Maybe Henry and Christina—well, of course, not the same as the witch of the same name—also loved Theresa, but Sinampei felt that he would not be able to accept such a thing if he were Theresa.
Old man Clément also knew that he had inadvertently poked Theresa in the sore spot, and he shook his head and did not continue to speak, as did the others. Everyone understands that the best option at such times is to remain silent, rather than continue to irritate the injured with pale words.
The time for the audience with the Pope was set for the next morning, and as a pope, there were many things to deal with on a daily basis, and it was not possible to receive visitors anytime and anywhere. Of course, it is also possible that such a deliberate attitude of inattention is intended to confuse people's eyes, but there is no point in guessing at the moment.
This time, the Holy See prepared a hotel for the group to stay, and all the expenses were covered by the church.
Perhaps it should not be called a hotel, because this is simply an industry opened by the Holy See to receive guests. It might be more appropriate to call it a kanyi.
The facilities inside were quite luxurious for this era, as long as the nobles had everything in their homes, whether it was vases, frescoes, stoves, or maids. The guards, everything is here, and the bedrooms are spacious enough to compare with the bedrooms in Theresa's Castle.
In principle, four people should prepare four rooms, but Theresa stubbornly chose to live with Sinampei, perhaps, she wanted to send some signals to the people in the city.
As for Kara and Shirmearia, they also said that they could just sleep in the same bed...... That's the exact word.
Sinampei almost didn't squirt out the water he had just drunk into his mouth.
This always makes people think about some pretty beautiful associations.
Of course, it is not only Sinan Pei and his party who live in this huge pavilion, but also have the honor of meeting envoys from several countries here. To Sinan Pei's surprise, these guys actually knew Si Nanpei's name, and they invited Si Nanpei to their country to take up a job. And depending on his status, these guys may have promised him titles of varying sizes.
Sinampei, of course, is strange. But after chatting for a while, Sinan Pei also understood.
"Mr. Count, I have heard from the people in the fleet of Seris that you are also a famous wise man in Seris?" this was the envoy of a certain Saranyi city-state where scholarship flourished.
"I have the privilege of obtaining one of the weapons you invented in Capet's war, I wonder if you can design one or two similar weapons for our country? "This is the Holy Romance envoy who has suffered greatly from the harassment of the Selman Empire.
"Look. I don't know if you will also know how to make the goods that the Ceris fleet had?Besides, have the Ceris masters the cheaper way to make glass?Why do they sell it so cheaply?"This is an envoy of the Adriatic Republic.
Sinampe is very disdainful of the way these Eugenians recruit talent. If it had been left in the Celestial Empire, one by one was so straightforward, it would have scared everyone away a long time ago, and no matter how you said it, you should go out to play together, have a meal, and get acquainted with each other before you start talking about joining the gang?
But. Only then did Sinampei realize that his reputation was no longer small, and this was a rare thing in this era when the efficiency of information circulation was quite low.
But in the same way, these people are also a little easier to solve than the stalker type of lobbyists in the Celestial Empire, after all, the purpose of their coming to this holy city Roman is not to win over Sinampei, but to have more important things to do. Credit for this kind of hand-to-hand work. Do what you can, and don't do it reluctantly. After all, Sinampei's reputation has not yet reached the kind of once-in-a-millennium saint Cheng dù, isn't it?
Besides, even a scholar like Sage Confucius, who was very famous at that time, had to travel around the world to run for office, didn't he? Someone came up to chat with Si Nanpei to express his closeness, even if Si Nanpei had a lot of face.
And Si Nanpei is sure that there is definitely a lot of this face from the Celestial Empire fleet that has just passed by strongly. If it weren't for the neutrality of those Celestial Empire people, it is estimated that these guys would have been more active.
There was no word until nightfall. Sinan Pei fell asleep with Trisa, who was not honest at all.
......
In the Holy See, Clément and the Pope sat by the stove and had a long talk.
"Your Majesty, just as we had expected, Bishop Christopher's plan didn't come in handy, and it was Henry who drove the two children, Sinampe and Theresa, here. The old man Clemman's face was calm, "Yiqiē, it is really developing according to the predetermined trajectory." ”
"Ahem, that's right, now I doubt that the old men of the Wizards' Guild are right, 'Sybil is a prophet who speaks on behalf of God'. Oh, please forgive me for my wavering. "Winter is clearly overwhelming the aging pope, even in the warm region of Saranyi.
"Your Majesty you don't need to be like this, if the legend is true, then Sybil was born even before the Messiah, and before the Messiah there was a bridge between the world and God, then it is not contrary to the doctrine. Old man Clément reassured.
", Clement, you don't have to comfort me like that. I understood my ungodliness and even doubted that I would be saved. The Pope shook his head, and continued, "But I am determined in the way of sacrifice, and I will not shirk my responsibility." ”
“...... I still hope that you will look at this qiē with a more optimistic attitude. ”
"I know, I understand, you're right, Clément. "The Pope spoke very loudly. (To be continued......)
