Compared with the royal family, who still have to say two polite words, the attitude of the Holy See towards Xu Shi is obviously more straightforward and rude, that is, to cooperate, to poach, otherwise why are you here?

But you can't say a little kind word, does the small talk with Lu Baiyan on the way here count?

Thinking about it this way, regardless of personal inclination, he is a person who is very good at things.

And having said that, the Holy See actually feels a little anxious, otherwise it would be impossible to block the entrance of the palace to invite people, and it seems that it is not just a jumping face, but more like a sudden illness and rushing to the doctor...... Step by step, step by step, step by step, it's too late if you don't hurry up.

"In that case, let's start by introducing yourself?"

Xu Shi knew it in his heart, but he still said unhurriedly, "I know the names of the knights now, and one or two are very distinctive...... And what about Her Highness herself? ”

Should I say it or not, it's been so long, he doesn't even know what people's names are, so he is embarrassed to say that he is sincere?

If you don't qualify, do it again!

But as soon as these words came out, he found that everyone in the Holy See suddenly looked at him in unison, and their eyes revealed strangeness one by one.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little anxious, and even the others on Xu Shi's side became nervous.

Shen Qin and Ye Shanshan, who were in charge of the guards, instantly entered a combat posture.

Well?

It's a little strange to see this, what are you doing?

"Mr. Xu doesn't know."

In the end, it was Lu Baiyan who opened his mouth first, "Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is Her Royal Highness, and there is no other name." ”

“……”

Xu Shi was speechless, this is not a big problem, what are you doing so tensely?

This seems to be the consistent practice of religious institutions, such as saints, the nominal leaders of the pope, the name is really not important, you just need to have this title, for example, the saint in front of you will definitely not be the first generation, but the previous generation will definitely only be a "saint", no other bells and whistles.

People will not delve into this question, and it may be disrespectful for you to ask Allah in their eyes? Perhaps he may have asked this for the first time in a long time.

In addition, he is already evil, so it seems reasonable for him to ask inadvertently like this.

It's just that some people don't have this realization, and they have to add another sentence when they hear this, "Oh, it sounds quite pitiful." ”

If it was still tense just now, this is a complete ignition of the powder keg.

"Rude!"

The brainless stupid girl with big red hair and big waves glared at her suddenly, "Outlander, watch your words!" ”

Qin Yiyan was originally straightforward, and he was not very happy to hear his question just now, but now with such a sentence, if he didn't remember why he asked Xu Shi to come, maybe the big sword behind his back should be pulled out.

"What are you going to do?"

Shen Qin's reaction was even more fierce than hers, and the short knife at his waist was in his hand, and he had a posture of just waiting for his brother's order to let the blood flow here.

She doesn't care what the attitude of the people in the Holy See is, even if her brother says that you are waste, garbage and miscellaneous fish, you have to listen obediently!

Lu Baiyan on the side didn't dare to speak at all, big brother, what are you doing?

I could explain it to you just now, but now I can't help you speak, and he should be labeled as a crooked ass when he says it......

"Alright, Knight Commander Qin, put away your sword."

But surprisingly, the saint herself who was discussed was as calm as ever, "Mr. Xu is new to the city, and it is normal that he is not familiar with the rules of the Holy See, I think this is also unintentional, right?" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding, my mistake and my mistake, I apologize to you."

Xu Shi waved his hand innocently, in my opinion, you are very pitiful.

Anyway, "no name, only title" is really not a good thing in his opinion, and it is easy to think of those numbered reformers in Night Sin City...... For example, Lin Xing, the little stand-in he once used, wasn't this the case before?

I've almost forgotten her number...... 1557 or 2800?

Or 3-0 APWL...... Ahem, it's far away.

He also hurriedly stopped his good sister beside him, "Don't be so surprised, in such a holy place, how can you use swords?" ”

That's it, even if I reshaped her mind, I didn't say that I would take away my previous name and change the number, right?

You are so inhumane! (Loud sound)

But having said that, Xu Shi only verbally stopped her, but silently pressed Xie Qingyan's hand on the other side, signaling her to pay attention.

Anyway, he felt it, and the energy in the other party's body had a tendency to overflow...... Be careful, girl, fox tail, oh no, the tentacles are about to be revealed.

In fact, the dog woman's current combat power really can't be ignored, the combination of "copying" and "neutralizing aura", as long as it is used properly, it will never be bad, as long as she can learn to digest and use the ability to copy in a short time, it is easy to inflict a devastating blow on the opponent, and she doesn't even need to be proficient.

However, it can also be seen that her mood is indeed unstable now, and she was not so impulsive before the change......

Xie Qingyan slapped his hand angrily, isn't it the basket you poked? Now you're running to pretend to be a guest?

Impulsiveness didn't affect her thinking, and she could see that Xu Shi was purely deliberate.

People come to you to talk about things, and you can tell the truth with sincerity, but you are here to talk about other people's names?

If this is not a mentality, then there is nothing to engage in mentality.

But this is actually some small tricks in the so-called negotiation, in the case of the other party's mentality is a little anxious, it is not a bad thing to play it to keep it in a similar state, the party who is not calm is destined to make more mistakes, not to mention that the initiative is in their hands.

But what if you knew? I still have to find a way to keep him safe...... Who made this powerless dog man always like to dance with the tip of a knife, and he really didn't think about the dog jumping off the wall opposite?

Alas, don't worry guys. (sighs)

"It's okay, let's continue to talk about the conditions."

The Holy Maiden blinked, folded her hands under her navel and continued.

"It's up to you how you want to work together."

Xu Shi put away the stubbornness on his face, cleared his throat and said, "Different requirements naturally have different prices. ”

"Our requirements are not complicated."

The saint replied, "I know that Your Excellency has been friendly with the royal family before, and this time the economy of the main city has been affected, and I will definitely give assistance...... We are in a similar situation, and we do not ask you to be treated exactly the same, but we also hope that you can help you. ”

"Secondly, Your Excellency's arrival has brought a lot of new technologies and instruments, and we also hope to cooperate in this regard, communicate with each other, and learn from each other."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

The saint bowed slightly, and there seemed to be light overflowing from her body.

Xu Shi blinked, these requirements can actually be summed up in four words in the final analysis.

Alike.

It can be seen that how much of the Holy See's wooing of him is out of the importance of him personally, or the value he brings to the table, but there must definitely be a precondition.

That is, you can't lag behind the royal family.

This is also very in line with their consistent thinking, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the chips in Xu Shi's hand are worthless to the Hualan Empire, they must have what the royal family has - speaking on the upper line, even the increase or decrease of a believer may affect their nerves, not to mention Xu Shi's uncertainties full of unknowns.

As for how the other party had stirred up the empire's economic market before...... This is no longer a matter of discussion, arguing about good and evil, right and wrong, things have already happened, and it is useless to say more.

All in all, for the Holy See, which has always maintained an arrogant attitude, the current posture can really be regarded as very low, and the demands put forward are really not excessive.

So.

"These requirements are indeed not difficult, if I open too high a price, it seems to be a bit of a robbery."

Xu Shi thought about it very seriously, and then replied seriously, "Since this is the case, I only have two small conditions. ”

"Mr. Xu, please speak."

His attitude surprised everyone a little, I thought that you are now cooperating with the royal family in depth, so you have to take their hand anyway...... So easy to talk to?

But before they could be happy, Xu Shi's conditions made them dumbfounded.

"One, I still lack a strong guard by my side."

Xu Shi looked around for a moment, and then stretched out a finger, "So, during our cooperation, I hope to borrow the Knight Captain of Xia Qin Yiyan to serve as my personal maid." ”

！

"What did you say?!"

The red-haired silly girl's eyes widened when she heard this, and her angry front rose and fell.

What kind of requirement is this?

Not to mention that as a Templar chief, her status is here, even if she is just an ordinary nun who has nothing, with the image of Xu Shi in front of everyone, it is impossible to agree to such a condition!

Especially her impression of Xu Shi is definitely not good - if Lu Baiyan is an affinity, then she should be considered a conservative, regardless of what was the discord between Xu Shi and Luo Yu before, she herself also has psychological resistance to outsiders.

Not to mention that she knew that she had a conflict with Xu Shi before, this was purely revenge, okay?!

Her previous approach to the Absolute Holy See was not very good, and it was also aimed at her own people, and her attitude towards Xu Shi had not changed much as always.

"These two...... As you probably know, I had a big holiday with one of the brothers here. ”

Xu Shicai ignored her anger and continued to talk leisurely.

"Chop off his head and kick it for me, if you can agree, don't say that Night Sin City is equal to the Holy See, and we will be the best partners from now on."

"Xu Shi, you bastard!"

Luo Yu's little friend, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, didn't control it when he heard this, and instantly jumped like thunder, and he had the posture of fighting him to the death.

"Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense!"

To tell the truth, from the time Xu Shi came in until now, he has endured it...... God knows how uncomfortable he felt since he heard that Xu Shi was not dead, how big is this person's life, and he can survive being eaten by the sea god?

Not to mention that after this, the people of the Holy See began to pay more and more attention to him, and even the affinity faction would often make a fuss about him, and the standard phrase was "If you were not so impulsive at that time, where would we be so passive?" ”

This is not only an accusation, but also a threat to his current status - he Luo Yu is not at the end of the Templar Order, and due to the problem of age and seniority, the few who were suppressed by him are naturally dissatisfied with him, and of course they will be beaten hard when they find an opportunity.

Of course, it wasn't that no one spoke for him, such as Qin Yiyan and a few other good Templars...... But in any case, he was pushed to the cusp, who can withstand it every day?

He can't do it anyway.

He can't make any rebuttals, so in the end he can only let everyone make a decision, please come to the discussion when he is allowed.

Now the other party is so clearly humiliating him...... He deserves to die!

Moreover, there is another layer of concern in his big reaction, that is, he is really worried that he will be used as a bargaining chip.

Because the position of the sequence he is in is not good, he can't go up and down, and he can't get stuck here...... Qin Yiyan's words, most of the people will help her speak and fight together, but it may not be him Luo Yu.

Maybe how many people want him to die, for the sake of the Holy See, why not sacrifice it?

"In a word, Luo Yu, calm down."

Fortunately, at this time, the saintess also spoke, and her tone was a little colder, "Mr. Xu, what do you request...... It doesn't seem to be simple, and for us, it's not very acceptable. ”

"If you really need guards, we have other candidates besides Knight Commander Qin."

She said lightly, "As for the dispute between you and Knight Luoyu...... It doesn't seem necessary to do the sake of blood, right? How about having him apologize to you? ”

"There's nothing to talk about."

Xu Shi shrugged, "After all, I'm a careful person...... To be honest, this is already my biggest concession. ”

"May I ask your Pope, Your Majesty? Maybe he would have seen something different? ”

As he spoke, he looked at the hidden door.

“…… As I have said, the Holy See cannot trade the life of a Templar for the opportunity to cooperate with you. ”

After a while, an old voice came from behind the door, "But Your Excellency should also consider it, and it is definitely not a good thing for you to completely break off with the Holy See." ”

His voice was a bit similar to Wen Shengkui's shouting in the air before, although he was old, it was also sonorous and powerful in everyone's ears.

"His Majesty the Pope!"

Luo Yu was overjoyed, but these two authorities were speaking for themselves, which already made him feel a lot more comfortable.

"Isn't this a threat to me?"

Xu Shi was not shocked by this, and even sneered a few times, "Just kill us here, wouldn't it be better for Yongjue to suffer in the future?" ”

"Do you dare?"

At this moment, his posture did not fall behind at all.

“……”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Holy See was collectively silent, and even Luo Yu closed his voice.

After all, no one would really attack him here, he said that he lacked guards, but in fact it can't be true - not to mention his own people around him, can there be no one on the royal side to protect him secretly?

Don't forget, when the two parties first started to cooperate before, Cheng Gujian had already sent the masters around him to accompany him.

"That's it, who wouldn't verbally shout?"

Xu Shi smiled, "Such a simple request can't be done, and it's ridiculous to talk about cooperation." ”

"As for whether it is a good thing to cut it in two...... We're not close friends, are we? ”

"Who is afraid?"

There are still more than 100 monthly passes to break 1k...... It's good to be cheeky and ask for it again, everyone.
