Chapter 36: The Audience

After waiting in the pavilion all morning, it was the old man Clement who came here in person to lead the way for Sinampei and his party.

Sinan Pei doesn't know whether this means that the Holy See attaches great importance to himself or not?

said that he valued himself because he deliberately let the acquaintance of the old man Clement to receive him, and said that he did not attach importance to himself because of this, who knows if the old man Clement did so thoughtfully because of the Holy See's dispatch or if he himself deliberately took care of everyone?

But there's no point in dwelling on this at the end of the day, after all, it was the Pope who received him personally, and it was considered to be in the eyes of the Pope, and no matter how bad the specifications were, they wouldn't be much worse.

The place where the Pope received Sinampe and Theresa was not in his private reception room, but in the official hall where he received envoys from other countries, which surprised Sinampe slightly.

However, Theresa is not as rare and strange as him, she walked in with her head held high all the way - I have to say that the aristocratic and the dick are different, Sinampei burst into tears, he has been here in Oggenia for a while, and he can usually put on a noble fan without missing flaws, but when he arrives at this occasion, he is timid.

"Si, when you see me wearing a black dress and a black veil, and ask you to wear a tuxedo, you should understand that this is a formal meeting and not a private meeting. Theresa took Sinampei's arm and explained to Sinampei.

Si Nanpei smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

A dress can also involve so many twists and turns, and this Eugenia etiquette is really no less elaborate than that of the Celestial Empire. Sinan Peiluo was a little helpless.

But...... Things after that were not so complicated, and even the Pope himself was not as high and inviolable as Sinampe imagined.

After meeting the Pope, Sinampei found out that the Pope was just an old man in his old age, and his temperament was no different from the Clemon and Cecilio he had seen. It's just a little stubborn - of course, this is just Sinampei's intuition, after all, he has never been in contact with the Pope, and in terms of spirit, the Pope is far worse than the two old priests, and it seems that his body is quickly emptied because of the complicated affairs of the Holy See.

Theresa knelt down on one knee as if she were an orthodox follower. Kissing the ring on the Pope's right hand, which symbolized divine power, Sinampei hesitated a little and did the same.

Although, he is not yet a believer in the Litian Sect.

"Child, may God bless you all. The Pope smiled and blessed the two of them, although his skin was like a withered leaf and no longer shiny, but his smile was full of a slightly warm sense of reassurance.

This feeling made Sinampei's heart quickly settle down. To be honest, Sinampei felt that this was much more comfortable than when he first met Knight Henry. This pope does not have the same sense of oppression as a secular king.

Theresa closed her eyes and accepted the blessing, and Sinampei did the same.

"Oh, Mr. Tsukasa from a distant land, it's a great pleasure for you to be here. After the blessing, the Pope said these incomprehensible words.

Si Nanpei didn't understand the depth for a while, so he replied cautiously: "I should thank Your Majesty for your generosity and kindness, which can save me and Her Royal Highness the Duchess from danger." Come to this glorious holy city. ”

"No, you shouldn't thank me. This qiē is God's will. Child, the gears of fate need you to push, and in the future, you will take on more responsibilities than I do. ”

Although it was in the formal reception room, there were only four people in this hall: the Pope, the old man Clément, Theresa and Sinampe. The Pope's words echoed in the empty halls.

Sinan Pei was surprised: "Your Majesty, I ......"

"Son, I know what you're capable of. It doesn't matter where your knowledge comes from, but there's no doubt about it. Your knowledge will benefit all living beings, whether they are followers of the Lord or pagans in confusion—and it is not contrary to God's will. In the history books of the future, you will occupy a lot more space than I do, and perhaps one day people will forget the pope who once existed like me, but they will remember you, whether you will be a scholar, a general, or whatever. The Pope looked at Sinampei kindly.

Sinampei was silent, and from the beginning, the Pope had raised him too high, lifting him to the same position as in the book of prophecy.

Sinampei seemed to have grasped something faintly in his contemplation.

"Don't be confused, child. Your power is far greater than you yourself can imagine. The Pope smiled, "You didn't come here empty-handed today, did you, what did you bring, can you let me see?"

Sinampei took out a codex from his bosom and handed it to the Pope. This was sorted out when he was on the ship, and it was all about some of the weapons manufacturing methods that Sinan Pei had thought of, which was in line with the manufacturing capacity of this era and was powerful.

"These ...... All are weapons capable of physically destroying enemies. After flipping through it for a while, the Pope spoke slowly.

"Yes, Majesty. Sinampei nodded, this is what he has to admit, the progress of science and technology is accompanied by such a tragedy - while benefiting mankind, the weapon of murder has also become more powerful, until one day, human beings can use their own weapons to destroy themselves millions of times.

"What do you think of the Selman Empire?" the Pope asked suddenly.

"To tell the truth, they are more powerful than the Litian Sect countries, because their technology is more advanced, their society is more open, and the power of the central government can be effectively guaranteed to deal with pagan religions...... It's also a little more forgiving. Sinampei hesitated, but still told the truth. He believed that what the old man in front of him wanted to hear was not a flattering lie, and that after living for so many years, the old man should know these things very well.

"You're right, kid. The old man shook his head slightly, as if helpless, and as if sighing, "Then what do you think about the fate of the Jihad World and the Litian Sect World in the future?"

"I think that perhaps in the next two hundred years, the Jihadian will have an advantage, and their offensive will continue, but after two hundred years, it will be the time when the world of the Rite Sect will completely overtake it. Sinan Pei thought about it and said.

"Are you saying this from the perspective of an immigrant who has settled in Eugenia, or are you thinking about it from the perspective of an outsider?" the Pope laughed.

"No matter what angle you stand, the facts don't change. "What Sinan Pei said was categorical. (To be continued......)
