Chapter 507 Trading

In the eyes of the public, the youngest pope in history is not a man who likes to show his head. Even after he sat on the throne, which symbolized power, he did not hold a few large meetings within the Holy See, and he only managed to deal with various matters in a small building somewhere in the Holy City, leaving the popes of the major dioceses of the empire in charge of their own territory, in short, so quiet and obscure.

The only thing he has done is probably to announce the autonomy of the Holy Light Temple, and this kind of thing of separating the foundation of the Holy See can be implemented extremely calmly, which is really surprising, and what is even more surprising is that after all this happened, it did not set off any bloody storm, let alone make any choice of faith among the people of the empire, it seems that the young pope does not care at all about the believers turning their backs on the Holy See.

Originally, everyone thought that the Pope would continue to exist in such obscurity, and the power of the Holy See would gradually weaken, until many years later, another Holy Son appeared out of thin air and took his place, and this Pope would abdicate and become the least remembered guest in history, of course, there may be many people who will talk behind their backs that his inaction is the biggest reason for the believers of the Holy See, and his separation of the Holy Light Temple is the beginning of the decline of the Holy See.

Well, if this is really the case, leaving an infamy in history, it is better to continue in obscurity.

But no one expected that after the final battle between humans and demons began, the various deeds that the Pope had done began to gradually emerge in front of people's eyes.

It turns out that he initiated the implementation of the experiment on the control of wild demons many years ago?

It turns out that the alternation of old and new energy for the empire is to allow the soldiers on the front line to embark on the journey to the gates of hell?

It turned out that his purpose in wanting to divide the Holy Light Temple was to let those high-ranking divine servants join the expedition team to lay down the Holy Light that could resist demons?!

It turned out that all the actions he did were to free mankind from this long war that lasted for centuries!

For a moment, the people of the empire seemed to be at a loss, the young pope gave up the admiration of tens of millions of followers of the Holy Light, turned the contractor who was originally firmly in his hands into an ordinary combat force that could be created at any time, he gave up everything he had, and even did not hesitate to let the Holy See go into decline, in order to let humanity enter a better future.

No one knows where these things come from, but this sudden truth makes people have to start thinking, what should a person with supreme power do for the world, when the deeds of the young pope are excavated, when he is rarely photographed, the not tall figure appears on the edge of the church in the holy city, looking in a certain direction in the distance, the slightly tired smile on his face, when he shook hands with Dante intimately, the old man gently patted the younger person's shoulder, It seems to be some kind of trust, sustenance, inheritance.

When all this is gradually exposed to people's eyes, this new generation of papal rulers seems to have inexplicably begun to give people a great sense of security.

Yes, how many people in this world are willing to give up everything they have just to bring humanity to a better future?

As a result, some voices gradually appeared in the empire, and Mr. Moriarty gradually had some supporters, and even some people spread some gossip that after this Holy Love Day, the Holy Daughter and the Holy Son had not actually completed their wedding, and the current Pope was still single.

This news seems to have caused a lot of vibration in the upper circles of the empire, no matter how old a woman is, she will always have some sweet fantasies, just like the girl's spring illness that always broke out before and after the day of holy love in the past, those beautiful girls from aristocratic families began to discuss behind their backs, if the Holy Son is not married, wouldn't it be that they will also have some opportunities?

Time can heal most of the pain, and this sentence sounds like a self-deceptive brainwashing sentence for some people who can't eradicate the pain.

Only those who are no longer able to fight their pain will hand over their happiness to time.

In the same way, when I hear the words, 'I have never feared the darkness, as long as I have never seen the light,' there is a great sorrow in my ears that is extremely sad and helpless.

And under the blood-colored sun, in the last city of mankind, everyone adheres to this sentence of endless sadness, not because they don't want to escape from the hopeless life like hell, but they don't have any direction to work hard.

Therefore, people can only be born in despair and die in despair, and even the survivor government has proposed whether to burn all the world materials that have been recorded, so that no one will know the clear blue sky, and no one will know that the seasons change and the trees are shady, and as long as there is no hope, there will be no despair.

This extreme self-deception may really make the human beings of this world happier, but I don't know why, for a long time, those documents that record the past are still preserved in museums in various neighborhoods.

Perhaps, human beings have such a stubborn racial temperament, even in a desperate situation, even if they can't find any hope, they are not willing to give up the little spark in the future.

What if one day, a god really came to the world and sprinkled the beauty of the past all over this barren planet again.

In the autumn of 2749 A.D., as it had been for centuries, there was no snow, no rain, no sunrise and sunset, and the scorching air swept through the skin, taking away the little moisture that secreted the sweating glands.

But in one square, the girl's smile was extraordinarily sweet.

The innate pursuit of love by creatures will not be deprived by the ever-changing sky, Melissa is still in a wheelchair, a man who is not handsome, but has a certain kind of honest and lovely smile in his hand, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, his face is slightly red.

"So, hurry up and take it, a lot of people are watching." The man was dressed quite formally, perhaps he had never knelt on the ground like this in his life and flattered a girl, he looked at the aunt who was embarrassed by the faces of several passers-by not far away, and reminded in a low voice.

Melissa enjoyed the situation, and she looked at the man for a few more seconds before taking the flower in her hand.

"Well, for your sake, I reluctantly agreed."

As he spoke, the smile on his face couldn't help but bloom anymore.

A little fat man came out of the grass next to him, holding the kind of toy that would squirt streamers when he pulled it, and ran happily around the man and woman, this child's name is Miller, Melissa's younger brother, he just had radiation stripping surgery last year, and thanks to his young age, he recovered exceptionally quickly.

It's just a bouquet of flowers, some clumsy vows, and a very simple marriage proposal ended successfully, and the emotion of happiness can really be contagious through vision.

On a bench in the distance, a man and a woman watched the scene in silence.

The man's hair was disheveled and unkempt, and the brim of his hat was drawn low, leaving only the flickering half of the cigarette in the shadows.

The woman next to her wore sunglasses, covering most of her face, but only saw some parts that were missed, as well as the excellent figure that could not be covered up no matter how much she did, it is not difficult to imagine that after taking off the sunglasses, she can definitely attract the attention of every passerby.

"The old Miller detective agency is doing good business right now, the man who proposed to Melissa is an accountant, Miller's surgery was successful, and his relief fund will be maintained until he is 18 years old."

The woman leaned back in her chair, not caring about the dry wind blowing through the delicate skin on her face, and explained patiently to the man beside her.

The man nodded, and the light under the brim of his hat grew brighter.

It seemed to be just a very ordinary encounter, the two sat on the chairs and chatted casually, but in fact, in the buildings around the square, no less than 30 sniper rifles were aimed at the man, and farther away, the city guards were ready to rush into the square at any time, and even in the underground military garrison base a few kilometers away, the aircraft and artillery were all ready to fire.

"You should know how much thought I put into it to let you walk freely in this city, and you can't always face me with such a silent attitude."

"Oh, come on." Sherlock smiled, "Your government knows very well how much trouble I will bring to the city, and now I can sit here and watch the scenery in peace, you are all secretly happy." ”

Lilith didn't answer the question, facing the person who once again came out of the rift in time and space, her mind went back to the time two years ago, but the difference was that they were naked enemies back then, and now, although this guy is still under the supervision of many fires, at least the two of them can seem to talk quietly about something.

"So, what do you mean by cooperation?"

"Didn't I already say it, I'm willing to help you get back the lost artificial solar console."

Lilith took a deep breath, as a high-level figure in the scientific research and technology of the survivor government, of course she knew that the console was incomparably closely related to the old man who developed the space-time rift, and it still retained all the ideas about perfecting the space-time rift, if she really got that thing back, maybe the drawbacks of the space-time rift could really be removed.

However, thinking of the conditions offered by the man in front of her, she had to look embarrassed.

"However, you want us to catch 30 million mutated creatures for you, no matter how big or small, isn't that a bit too fantastical?!"
