Chapter 416: Bewilderment
Before Lu Feng finished speaking, the Pope let out a chuckle, which made Lu Feng, who was a little excited a moment ago, suddenly look confused and puzzled.
"There's nothing to worry about, it's only natural to do this with the power of the Holy Son."
Lu Feng was immediately stunned when he heard this, and thought that he had heard the wrong thing and said in surprise.
"What? Your Majesty said Holy Son, could it be that the fluctuation just now was caused by the Holy Son? ”
The Pope's expression was still as flat as usual, he glanced at the twelve-winged angel statue in the main hall, and a trace of memory flashed in his eyes, but this memory was quickly retracted, and instead asked a question that made Lu Feng busy.
"What are you going to do next?"
Lu Feng was puzzled and confused.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
The Pope said slowly.
"Now that the Holy Son has come to the Divine Cult Empire, presumably it is also for his parents, and you should also know our purpose, whether the Holy Son can get closer to our Divine Empire according to our plan, everything is still unknown, and the previous events will inevitably arouse his suspicions, so what to do next, do you have a plan in your heart?"
Lu Feng suddenly hesitated when he heard this, and he stumbled and didn't dare to answer the Pope's question.
Because he knew very well that what the Pope said involved the secrets of the Divine Empire for many years, even if he knew very little about it, he clearly understood in his heart that if he made a mistake, it would not only cause the Pope to dislike, but even make the Pope think that he had gone further and further away from him, so in dealing with Xiaoqiang's issue, even if the Pope said it clearly, Lu Feng, who knew the Pope's character, also knew that this kind of thing was not something he could decide.
So, Lu Feng pretended to be ready to speak but never spoke, and finally threw the question back to the Pope.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates are stupid, please make it clear."
The Pope's eyes swept over Lu Feng's lowered head, just casually, and the coercion implied in his sight really made Lu Feng feel a great pressure, and his slightly bent body immediately knelt down, and blamed himself in a panic.
"My subordinates are incompetent and fail to understand His Majesty's deep meaning, please punish him."
The Pope slowly withdrew his gaze, but there was a slight sigh on his lips, and he didn't know whether he was blaming Lu Feng for his incompetence, or if he had seen through the careful thoughts in his heart.
"In a few days, it will be the time for the Holy Maiden to call her relatives, how are you preparing?"
The sudden change in topic caught Lu Feng by surprise, and he instinctively responded.
"It's already being prepared, and it will be set up in three days."
The Pope added, "What about the contestants of the great empires? ”
"The people of the Red Flame Empire and the Liuli Empire have already stayed in the Holy City, and as for the people of the Ice Empire, there is no news at the moment, but, according to our spies, those people seem to have mixed into a caravan, and they should be able to arrive in less than two days."
"Is there anything unusual on the Holy Maiden's side?"
"The holy maiden has never been out in the palace, and she doesn't seem to care about this incident with books every day, but the master of the healing hall, Xuanli, came over a few times, and talked in detail, but because the saint waved off the maid, we don't know what they said."
The Pope nodded and fell into thought, Lu Feng didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, and stayed quietly by his side without saying a word.
It wasn't until the footsteps sounded that the Pope, who was in thought, slowly walked to the throne under the statue of the twelve-winged angel, and when the seemingly rickety figure slowly sat down, the pope's voice also sounded in the huge palace.
"What do you think, how about the Son being matched with the Saint?"
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the Pope meant, and complimented.
"The Holy Maiden is extremely talented, and she is the successor that my Divine Cult Empire has cultivated with all her might, if the Holy Son can be paired with the Holy Maiden, it will be of great benefit to my Divine Cult Empire."
The Pope seemed to agree with what Lu Feng said, and nodded slowly.
"So let's do it."
After that, before Lu Feng could react, he saw a pillar of light enveloping the imperial seat where the Pope was, and in an instant, the Pope disappeared, and he failed to get a positive reply from the Pope, Lu Feng was suddenly worried in his heart, and he didn't know the Pope's true intentions.
But at this moment, the Pope has left, and Lu Feng can only stubbornly take the last conversation as the Pope's order, and the next thing he has to do is how to guide Xiaoqiang to participate in the competition? As for the breakthrough, it was placed on Xiaoqiang's parents.
After thinking hastily in his heart for a moment, Lu Feng turned around and walked out of the main hall, and the huge palace fell silent again, only the statue of the twelve-winged angel was quietly erected behind the throne.
On the contrary, the throne below the statue is unremarkable, and the marks on it can be seen everywhere due to the friction of time, the armrests are almost polished to a shiny shine, the gray color scheme looks cold, and the carvings of the worship of the gods on it will give people a sense of indescribability.
“……”
Coincidentally, as the Pope and Lu Feng left, Xiaoqiang, who was in chaos, gradually regained his senses.
When he touched his somewhat aching head and saw fainting figures all over the square in a daze, his heart was suddenly startled, and he hurriedly restrained the raging breath, and after glancing at the white marble palace with the door closed, he disappeared into the buildings outside the square in a few flashes.
When Xiao Qiang left, the door of the Papal Palace was slowly pushed open from the inside, and as Lu Feng walked out first, several Templar knights followed suit.
When they saw the fainting figures all over the ground, their faces were full of surprise, but compared to the surprise and anger in the eyes of the Templar Knights, Lu Feng, who already knew everything, seemed calm.
His eyes swept back and forth in the square in front of the Papal Palace, and when he realized that Xiaoqiang had left, his heart slowly relaxed.
After all, someone is making trouble in front of the Pope's Palace, which is a provocation for the Divine Sect Empire, and at this moment, the main master is leaving, for Lu Feng, who is the master of the Punishment Palace, this is the best result.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Feng didn't intend to stay here, and after explaining to the Templar Knights behind him, he got on his horse and left in the direction of Dongcheng District, as for the Templar Knights present, they stayed to treat those who fainted.
