Collins was stunned and looked at him slightly wary: "What do you want to do here?" ”

"You're less careful, you're not your brother Ulysses, I'm not interested in you." Kuchaz rolled his eyes at the little fat man.

"I'm not interested, what are you doing with us?"

"I ......" Kuchaz paused for a moment, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm not afraid that something will happen to you if you go to the Holy See today, so I specially accompanied you?" ”

He turned to Yao Tan and Li Li.

The young griffin knight restrained his slightly arrogant expression, looked at the two of them with some uneasiness, and finally turned his gaze to Yao Tan's body.

"That...... I didn't expect this to happen before. ”

Kuchaz still had a look of shame on his face: "I really didn't expect them to lock you two in, I really want to help you, but the Pope and the Bishop have hit a wall...... I'm really sorry for this, I said that no one could bully you with me, but I let you encounter this kind of thing. ”

"You worked so hard to save me, and you used up your precious ancestral medicine...... But I didn't do anything to help, I could only watch you being bullied in the Inquisition, I failed to practice the rules of knighthood, and I was an unqualified knight. ”

Before Yao Tan could answer, Kuchaz quickly adjusted his mood, clenched his fist at his friend, and spoke firmly.

"There won't be any more accidents this time, I'll go with you!"

Without waiting for their opinion, Kuchaz walked to the front of the line with his griffon, and rushed forward with his sword in his hand.

Li Li: "......"

Forget it, let him go.

In this way, Kuchaz and his party arrived in the Holy See meeting room agreed with the Pope.

Before everyone could enter, a strange smell of burnt paste blew in the wind.

Li Li sniffed, lowered his voice and asked Yao Tan for confirmation: "This smell...... Should the church also be the same as the Buddha's cultivation, lighting sandalwood and burning incense or something? ”

If it really is, then this taste of the Church of Light seems to be a little worse.

"It doesn't seem to be."

Yao Tan also snorted, touched his chin and thought, "It doesn't seem to be ...... It's kind of like something muddled......"

Mu Qian was also curious: "Our elf clan has the habit of incense, but we all use flowers...... I don't know what the church uses, it should be some kind of special spice, right? ”

Collins touched Kuchaz with his elbow.

"You know what? Forget it, I don't know if you look like you, I don't know anything about my own church, so I can't take my brother's place! ”

Kuchaz: "......"

Soon, everyone knew what was going on in the living room.

In the huge living room, a huge black cauldron of refined iron was suddenly erected, and the fire magic array was burning at a blazing temperature under the large iron cauldron, and in front of the iron cauldron stood a bright red figure.

At this moment, the man was rolling up his sleeves, pulling at his loose robe, and outstretched his hands clumsily but carefully stirring some kind of leaves inside the iron pot.

However, it was clear that he was very unfamiliar with this skill, and the temperature in the pot was getting hotter, the sweat on his forehead was getting denser, and the leaves were getting darker......

Then, a streak of white smoke came from the pot with a strong mushy smell.

"Lord, Lord, Lord...... Your Excellency! ”

Kuchaz stared at the cardinal in front of him in shock, and everyone was dumbfounded: "What are you doing here?" ”

The cardinal, who was more focused than studying forbidden spells, shook his hand, and after touching the edge of the hot pot, he almost couldn't hold back his scolding, and after finally restraining himself, he slowly looked back at everyone.

When Li Li saw it, he raised his eyebrows.

Yo, isn't this an old acquaintance?

The one who was busy was the cardinal he had met before, and he didn't have a good face towards the few people of the Heavenly Sword Sect at that time, and he didn't forget to threaten Li Li when he first entered West Tower City.

But I don't know why, I didn't say anything unpleasant when I saw Li Li this time.

The cardinal also saw Li Li, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally a sentence of answer came out of his mouth.

"I'm stir-frying tea."

"Roasted tea? What is that? Kuchaz was stunned for a long time, and finally scratched his head in confusion: "And why do you make a cauldron here......"

"This is ordered by His Holiness the Pope to prepare the freshest tea to entertain the guests." The cardinal stared straight at Li Li, grabbed a large handful of black ash from the pot, sprinkled it heavily into the teapot, and then poured water and washed it away.

As if he felt that the tea was not dark enough, the bishop grabbed two more handfuls and sprinkled them into them, and after shaking them evenly, he was satisfied.

He filled a cup and handed it to Li Li, and toasted the tea with a smile.

"Your Excellency, His Majesty the Pope said that you like to drink freshly fried tea."

“……”

Li Li glanced at the glass full of black water, and reasoned to refuse: "It's not necessary." ”

The bishop took a step forward with his teacup: "This is a ...... specially prepared for you by His Majesty the Pope"

"Don't."

Li Li didn't care about the threat at all.

Just as the bishop was about to say something, a deep voice sounded faintly: "You can finish drinking these teas yourself." ”

The sunlight shone on the white robe, and the gold edges shone brightly, making the Pope's whole person seem to be enveloped in the sun.

The Pope, holding the scepter, glanced at the cardinal with a stiff expression, "After drinking, stir-fry again." ”

“…… Be. ”

The bishop, who had been imposing in the past, bowed his head respectfully, not daring to refute half a sentence.

Kuchaz, who was still worried, tried to follow, but the Pope stopped him in the next sentence.

"Kuchaz, you too."

“…… Be. ”

Giving Kuchaz a sympathetic look, she followed the Pope and made a few turns to a peaceful indoor garden.

The warm sunlight shines through the carved glass and turns into a colorful shimmer that slanted into the garden, and a few chairs have been placed between the blooming flowers.

The top high chair seems to have been there all along, apparently the exclusive preserve of the Pope.

But next to this chair, for some reason, another high chair was added that was almost identical.

They stand side by side like this, one on the left and one on the right, like two evenly matched kings, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

Seeing such an arrangement, Sipuna muttered in his heart.

Who is this for......

Could it be that the Pope prepared it for him? This seems unlikely, I know very well what my identity and status are, and I am not naïve enough to this extent.

That's for Mu Qian? It seems possible, after all, it is the future queen of the elven clan, the actual ruler of Nanta City......

But when it comes to those in power, the new king of the orcs, Ariel, is also possible......

Just as he was thinking like this, Xi Ze, who was also dressed in a white robe, slowly stepped out from the corner.

Seeing him, Sipuna reacted.

By the way, Xi Ze is the most suitable person, after all, he is the Son of Light......

Not surprisingly, Hizer walked over to the chair.

However, the next moment, his actions shocked everyone.

Heizer bowed slightly gracefully and raised his hand in greeting.

"You may be seated."

The person he was facing was Li Li, who had been low-key and silent since he came in.

“……”

“……”

Li Li didn't think there was anything wrong, and there was no slight twist or excuse.

Naturally, she stepped forward and sat down on one of the high chairs, holding her sword with a nonchalant expression.

Sit side by side with the Pope.

Instead of being dissatisfied, the Pope smiled and bowed politely to Li Li, and invited her to taste the hot tea that had just been served.

"The freshly fried tea doesn't seem to be good, but fortunately, there are other ones prepared, and it seems that they are also sold in your Heavenly Sword City." The Pope's voice was soft, like a kind and friendly elder, without the slightest arrogance.

Seeing that Li Li took the tea, he said gently: "As for the freshly fried tea, I will also let him practice well, I hope you are satisfied." ”

The Pope knew that the cardinal had targeted Li Li and several people, so this time he asked him to personally fry tea and serve tea in the living room was also one of the means of punishment, wanting Li Li to see his sincerity in wanting to maintain friendly relations with him.

But......

When there was no fight, Li Li didn't want to use his brain.

She didn't want to think about it, and replied casually: "Don't let him fry it, blame the waste of tea, just the way he stir-fries it is called ash is not called tea, and it won't work if you practice for another ten years." ”

Pope: "......"

At that moment, the Pope's expression was a little solemn.

What does that mean? Is it because they still have a prejudice against the church, or are they unwilling to forgive the bishop and want to punish themselves more severely......

Li Li didn't know what he was thinking, so he turned his head casually and asked politely: "It's not too late to drink the tea later, why don't we talk about business now?" ”

The Pope put away his complicated thoughts and nodded at Li Li.

"Okay, in that case, let's get started."

Seeing this scene, everyone fell silent.

Sipna was horrified, he had thought that the Pope's kindness to Li Li that day was only because he realized Li Li's great potential like himself, but now everything is showing......

The Pope is not interested in Li Li.

He respects Li Li!

It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to ask Li Li privately this time, because after everyone sat down, the Pope soon spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen."
