Heynckes swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, and resisted the urge to kick this bastard out of his prayer room, but suddenly saw the meaning of a smile in Chen Daolin's eyes, and the Pope finally sighed and said slowly: "Your Excellency Darling, this is deliberately using words to provoke me. β
This Heynckes deserves to be the Pope, so he calmed down instantly, but lowered his head and muttered for a while, and said slowly: "Although these stories told by Your Excellency are deliberately entertaining me, if you think about it carefully, there is a lot of truth in it...... I asked myself, I am also a well-read book, but I have never heard of them, are they all circulated in the hometown of His Excellency Darling? β
What kind of place? Chen Daolin secretly rolled his eyes. In the Celestial Empire, there are 300 days of smog in 365 days a year, you can't afford to buy a one-square-meter house with a year's salary, you can't afford to buy a one-square-meter house, you can't afford to eat a poisoned rice capsules, you have to kill people on buses and subways, and you have to play peek-a-boo with the city management when you set up a stall -- you really want to play peek-a-boo with the city management -- are you really fascinated by this place? Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, if you really want to go, you can go......
Coughing vigorously, Chen Daolin smiled a little weirdly: "About my hometown, if the Pope is very interested, I still have some stories to tell, such as...... One Thousand and One Nights?"
Heynckes' face darkened, what ninety-nine-eighty-one is enough! One thousand and one nights? Are you going to talk to me until next year?
After trying to calm down as much as possible, Heynckes wiped his forehead and said slowly: "I will have a chance to ask Your Excellency for advice on this matter in the future...... No more circles, Lord Darling, I think you should know exactly what the question I want to ask is. β
Chen Daolin squinted his eyes: "His Majesty, the Pope, I want to ask...... What is the purpose of the Goddess sending me to convey to the Church, or in other words, what is the mission of my oracle?"
"Exactly!" Heynckes immediately sat up straight, staring at Chen Daolin with blazing eyes.
"That's it......" Chen Daolin gently grabbed his hair, then spread his hands with a helpless expression: "Personally, I am also willing to sue you, but...... The goddess won't let me say, what can I do?"
"............" Heynckes was really stunned, and after a while, the Pope gasped: "No, don't let me say it?!"
"Yes, the goddess won't let me say it. Chen Daolin had a helpless expression.
"This, this ......" Heynckes really wanted to go wild, he blushed with a blue face: "Your Excellency, is this entertaining me!"
Huh? How do you know that he is entertaining you? Chen Daolin slandered in his heart: The task that Semel gave me was to destroy your Temple of Light directly, do you want me to sue you?
Heynckes held back his anger: "Since Your Excellency claims to be a messenger of God and came to my church with the will of the Goddess, why do you refuse to convey the will of the Goddess?"
Chen Daolin touched his nose in embarrassment: "This ...... Do you have to make me so clear?"
"Of course!!"
"Okay. Chen Daolin spread his hands: "To put it simply, the goddess is very dissatisfied with what you guys are doing, a temple of light, claiming to be the spokesperson of the goddess in the world, but the more mixed up the more miserable, she is about to be squeezed out of her life." The power in your hands is getting less and less, obviously you are suppressed to the point that you can't even breathe, and you are fooled by the royal family to raise them as pigs, but it seems that many high-ranking people in your church seem to be very comfortable with this pig-like life...... In this state of affairs, His Majesty, do you think the goddess will be satisfied?"
Heynckes grimaced.
"Well, you can't fight Du Wei...... It's not your Heynckes' fault either. After all, you didn't catch up with Dewey's time. That guy from the original Duke Tulip was a powerful character, and he caused enough harm to the Temple of Light, and you suffered a lot from him...... That's it. But how many years have passed? You can't fight Du Wei, but you can't even fight his son, grandson, and great-grandson, and you have been mixed up until today, and the more you get mixed up, the more you go back--this can't be said, right?"
Heynckes' face was red, and he always felt that what the other party said seemed to be very reasonable, but it seemed that there was something wrong, but he couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, so he had to hold his breath and look at Chen Daolin with wide eyes.
"So, ah......" Chen Daolin said with a smile, "The goddess is very, very dissatisfied with your work. Yes...... You probably want to say, why doesn't the goddess just show a miracle to help you regain your prestige? Hey, don't be in a hurry to nod your head yet. I would like to ask you a rhetorical question, if the great goddess herself needs to do everything, then why do you want you to eat idle food? Do you want to stay in the church and raise a group of beautiful 'divine servants' to play bathing games?"
Heynckes was speechless to refute.
"You probably wonder why the goddess chose the divine envoy instead of a devout believer, but chose me as a guy, right? Actually, I don't understand this question, but since the goddess chose me, naturally the goddess has her own considerations. His Majesty, to put it bluntly, you and I are mortals, although you should be considered a very intelligent person...... I'm not a fool to ask myself. But let me ask your Majesty, do you think that your wisdom has surpassed that of the goddess?"
Heynckes shook his head - although he was conceited, as the Pope of the Temple of Light, and as the spiritual leader of all the worshippers who worshipped the Goddess in this world, how could he dare to say such a rebellious thing that he believed that his wisdom had surpassed that of the Goddess?
This kind of thought, even thinking about it in my heart is a sin!
"So. Chen Daolin spread his hands: "Since you and I can't figure it out...... Anyway, this qiΔ is arranged by the goddess, so since our wisdom can't figure out the intentions of the gods, let's just stop thinking about it, honestly obey the arrangement of the goddess, and do what the goddess wills - the goddess arranged, this is not enough for you and me? Why bother thinking so much?"
This one...... It sounds like that's right, but I always feel like there's something wrong......
"To put it simply, the goddess naturally has a will for me, and I have to do some of the things that the goddess asks me to do - but I can't sue you for the specific content, even if you are the Pope, you have no right to know, understand? Of course, you can not believe me, you can even deceive you as if I was talking nonsense, you can even directly ask the Holy Knights to arrest me and torture me, or kill me as a liar...... However, if you really do this, maybe tomorrow the goddess will directly send a disaster as a punishment for the gods. β
Cold sweat broke down in Heynckes' forehead.
He had already thought carefully before he came to see Chen Daolin, but he never expected that it was Chen Daolin's words that he was waiting for.
The Goddess has a will, but the Goddess told me not to tell you...... What kind of oracle is this!!
This kind of statement is really ridiculous to the extreme, and it is also incredible to the extreme!
But it's just such a ridiculous thing that makes a smart person like Heynckes fooled.
However, Chen Daolin said the answer "The goddess will not let you sΓΉ sue you", which seems absurd, but it makes Heynckes dare not believe it.
Unless this Darling Chen is an idiot, he would dare to use such ridiculous words to deceive the huge Temple of Light Church!
Was Darling Chan an idiot? Heynckes immediately denied it. Able to save the lives of Montoya and Lan Lan, as well as the person who Darling Chen learned from Lan Lan Montoya and many other sources, this guy is a genius and a smart person.
Since it's a smart person...... Dare to say such a speechless answer, then......
I can only believe that this is the truth.
The idea of the smart man is simple: if Darling Chan is a liar, then he should at least come up with a sophisticated and brilliant lie if he dares to commit such a shocking deception!
......
Seeing Heynckes' uncertain expression and repeated struggles in his eyes, Chen Daolin smiled secretly in his heart: This big fish is hooked.
This kind of lie is most suitable for deceiving a "wise man" like Heynckes. If it is used to deceive Montoya's fierce general, he may be hacked to death without finishing two sentences. It's just that this pope's mind is too meticulous, so he will jump into this kind of pit and can't climb out.
"Your Majesty, as for my mission, that's not something you can know - at least in the early stages, I won't tell you. The only thing I can reveal to you is that the Goddess told me that when I encounter difficulties and need help, I can identify myself to the church and get some support and help from the church. That's all I can tell you now. β
Heynckes' silence lasted longer this time.
The Pope seemed to be caught in a dilemma, and after thinking for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh.
"All right! Lord Darling...... I can accept your claims. Although I still have many questions about the identity of your oracle, I can accept it for the time being. So, please tell me, what kind of help and support would you like the church to give you next?"
"It's very simple, I'm a fugitive now, and I need to leave the imperial capital as much as possible. Chen Daolin looked at Heynckes: "This shouldn't be too difficult for the dignified Temple of Light." β
Heynckes listened and nodded, "I've sent someone to inquire about some news." In fact, the news of the prison robbery in the palace was not completely blocked. It is said that on the same day, a group of people forcibly entered the palace and rescued some prisoners, and escaped from the imperial capital under the pursuit of the Red Feather Cavalry. And judging from the information we have received, it seems that Hilo's vision is confused, and they probably think that you and your companions have been rescued by that group, so most of their attention is focused on tracking down and searching for them. As for martial law in the imperial capital, it is just a normal process, and if nothing else, this martial law will be lifted soon. When the time comes, it won't be too difficult to find a way to send you out of the imperial capital. β
Chen Daolin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: he finally knew some news from the outside world. Although it is safe for me to hide in the church now, I don't know anything about the outside world, which is my biggest shortcoming.
But...... Speaking of which, when he escaped that day, there was another group of people robbing the prison, which is a bizarre coincidence. The gang did themselves a favor and attracted Shiloh's attention.
Although this matter made Chen Daolin feel strange, since he had very little information in his hand now, he simply didn't think about it for the time being.
"At present, we have received information that the people who escaped from the prison are not only Lord Darling, but also the patriarch of the Liszt family, and ...... Miss Laudel. It can be said that in addition to you and your companions, the Liszt family also managed to escape from the imperial capital. Of course, this news has not been made public, and I think that His Majesty Xiluo has not made up his mind to do anything, and perhaps, he does not want to put this matter on the table openly, so that there will be no room for maneuver. Maybe...... The two sides will reach a compromise and deal in the near future. Heynckes deserved to be the Pope, and quickly analyzed the situation clearly, and cut to the heart of Shiloh's true intention at this time: "If the pursuers can capture Patriarch Liszt and the others, then it can be said that this patriarch is dead, and he will definitely be executed in secret." But if it can't be recovered, a negotiation will soon take place in the shadows. As for the identity of the gang who robbed the prison, it is not difficult to guess...... If it weren't for the dead soldiers of the Liszt family, then, looking at the empire, only the Tulip family would have the strength and courage to do this kind of thing. β
Chen Daolin thought for a moment...... Tulip home?
That Du Weiwei sent someone to rob the prison and save the old man Liszt, but why?
He didn't know that the people sent by Du Weiwei to rob the imperial capital were completely aimed at him, and as for taking the old man Liszt away, it was just a matter of convenience.
......
Chen Daolin stayed in the church for a while.
What he didn't know was that after Heynckes had a deep conversation with him, he immediately personally summoned Montoya and Lanlan to another secret meeting.
Especially for Lan Lan's summons, Heynckes asked Lan Lan in detail about his acquaintance with Chen Daolin in the frozen forest, and he asked very carefully, even not letting go of every detail. Lan Lan didn't dare to tell a lie in the face of her teacher, and told her about her acquaintance with Chen Daolin until the process of separation-of course, about the process of her ** Chen Daolin, Lan Lan concealed it and didn't dare to confide.
"So...... Did this Darling Chen suddenly appear in the Roland Empire out of thin air? Just appeared in the Frozen Forest out of thin air? Before this point in time, the entire Roland Empire could no longer find any trace of this person? Or, as he said, he came from an overseas country? But overseas? Is there really a different continent, another country, another human world, as he said?"
Heynckes pondered for a night, as the Pope, as an excellent leader carefully cultivated by the Church for decades, Heynckes immediately keenly grasped two key points!
The first point is that from Lan Lan's words, Heynckes found that it seems that when he was in the frozen forest, this Darling Chen did not have any magical strength, and when he met Lan Lan, he was even very unfamiliar with church affairs, and at that time, he did not show any traces of the identity of the 'divine envoy'!
In other words, there may be such a possibility: when this Darling Chen first appeared in the Frozen Forest, he was not a divine envoy, and he was given the mission of a divine envoy, was he in the Frozen Forest or later, and was favored by the goddess?
Heynckes' response to this first point was straightforward: the very next day, he sent Lan Lan and Tacitus, the Grand Knight Captain of the Holy Knights, to personally lead the team and draw fifty elite men from the Church to form an adventuring team.
The mission of this team is very simple, enter the frozen forest, start the search from the area near the Dayuan Lake where Lan Lan and Chen Daolin first met, and then follow Lan Lan's memory, contact all the places that His Excellency Darling Chen has walked and all the people he has come into contact with, including the elven tribe, to see if they can find any valuable clues - according to Lan Lan's confession, Darling Chen broke up with her in the small town of "Free Port". The route that the adventure team is tracking is to completely retrace the route of Darling Chen from the frozen forest to the "Free Port", searching and looking for any suspicious clues!
"Every place he's been to, every person he's been in contact with...... Even if he walked a path, stepped on a stone, broke a piece of bark, or kicked a wild dog, he had to check it carefully!!"
In addition, according to the news, Darling Chan also appeared in the castle of the Liszt family, as well as the governor's palace in the province of Neuhoven in the East Sea...... Or even the castle of the Rollin family!
Then the search team of Lan Lan and Tacitus also needs to go to the castle of the Liszt family, as well as the overseas province of Newhoven, and finally go to the castle of the Rollin family to track a suspicious clue!
What is certain is that Lan Lan and Tacitus, as well as these fifty elites of the church, will not be able to return to the imperial capital for a long time......
However, it is worth mentioning that in fact, Heynckes's speculation is actually infinitely close to the truth: Chen Daolin's encounter with the "pseudo-goddess" Semel did happen in the castle of the Rollin family.
The second key issue is that Chen Daolin claims to be from the overseas mainland.
After the Pope passed down a secret directive, soon, on the eastern coast of the empire, several ship companies secretly controlled by the Church and the chambers of commerce and merchants doing overseas trade all quietly selected the most sophisticated seafaring ships in the shortest possible time, forming several ocean-going adventure fleets, only claiming to go to sea to trade in the South Seas, and the real situation is that these ocean-going adventure fleets were assigned different course tasks, heading towards the depths of the sea, to find a ...... that may not exist at all Overseas continents.
After all, the Temple of Light is a state religion that has stood for thousands of years, and the deep-rooted and wealthy ocean-going fleet can be said to be a collection of the most cutting-edge technology and the most outstanding talents of the existing ocean-going navigation in the Roland Empire.
What Chen Daolin didn't know was that because of his nonsense, he actually triggered a "great voyage" in this world......
As for whether these fleets will eventually discover any so-called "overseas continents," or complete a great miracle of circumnavigating the world, so as to discover the miraculous truth that "this world is round" -- that is not a matter of concern to Chen Daolin.
......
Regarding Chen Daolin's sudden identity as a "divine envoy", the reaction of the people around him was very direct.
Captain Hook didn't believe it, of course, but he was smart enough to realize that the young mage had probably fooled the Church for his advantage. As for being in the church's lair, Captain Hook was very careful in his words in order to prevent being overheard, and would not ask Chen Daolin any questions.
Although Xia Xia was also curious, the little girl also knew that after being warned a few times, she also knew that she would make a fortune in a muffled voice.
As for the werewolf Chuck, having a leg of lamb to gnaw on every day is already happiness.
And the elf chick Barossa, as long as she is with Chen Daolin, she will be happy, as for whether Chen Daolin is a divine envoy or suddenly becomes a devil, the elf chick doesn't care.
The only thing she was curious about was that Darling didn't believe in a magical "second brother religion"......
......
Martial law in the imperial capital lasted for seven days.
Seven days later, the turmoil in the palace gradually subsided, and after the end of martial law, pedestrians gradually appeared on the streets of the imperial capital, and some merchants finally opened their doors...... Although after a series of heavy incidents, the streets of the imperial capital were obviously much depressed, but they finally regained a little popularity.
Those aristocratic families still maintain a cautious attitude, and those young aristocratic children who like to swagger through the market on weekdays are also under the strict orders of the family elders and elders, and are not allowed to go out at home behind closed doors. The formerly bustling Achilles Avenue has also become deserted.
The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce has closed its doors, and even the Tulip Family Workshop has closed its doors in a rare way.
As for the famous restaurants and fireworks in the imperial capital, those places such as the gold caves and casinos, they are not as lively as they used to be - the children of the rich families and the young aristocrats have been locked up in their homes, and the main group of people who have lost this kind of consumption has lost, and the losses in these places are naturally huge.
Under such magical conditions, the whole city was roped and martial law several times, and many gangsters and cats and dogs who were wandering the streets were arrested, and many unlucky guys were directly hanged on charges of being arrested...... The security on the streets is simply better than ever! In the midst of all kinds of strange atmospheres, the great imperial capital has actually formed a kind of atmosphere in which the road is not left behind and the house is never closed, which can be regarded as a kind of miracle.
Although the news was not made public, the fact that Darling Chen and Liszt's family had fled the imperial capital was also leaked through some channels.
The three major magical organizations that have not been able to protest to Hiloh about Darling Chen's affairs have gradually stopped their actions after learning that Darling Chen has fled, and the only change in the situation is that around the magic academy, a cavalry team of the city guards has been stationed as a close supervision. It seems to be to make sure that the fleeing Darling Chan will not be in contact with the Academy of Magic.
Martial law in the imperial capital has been lifted, and both the city gate and the water gate no longer refuse to allow entry and exit for local caravans and people in the imperial capital.
It stands to reason that at this time, Chen Daolin already has the conditions to escape from the imperial capital. But this guy was fed every day in the church with good food and drink, although he did not enjoy the fragrant bathing method again. But he didn't say a word about when he would leave the imperial capital.
Chen Daolin didn't say that he wanted to leave, and Heynckes naturally didn't ask. The Pope knows very well that if he dares to ask, this bastard will probably answer himself with the sentence "This is the will of the goddess, why do you ask so much" to answer himself, why bother to find himself unhappy?
Anyway, the church has money, and even if Chen Daolin is raised for a hundred years, he can't eat the poor church.
The news from the outside world, Chen Daolin also learned one after another -- Heynckes was very smart not to block the news of the outside world from Chen Daolin. Although the identity of this oracle is doubtful, Heynckes is very sensible, and there is no need to offend this guy for such a small matter.
After knowing that martial law in the imperial capital had been lifted, the people around him were already a little impatient, and even the most patient Captain Hook couldn't help but hint at Chen Daolin several times when to leave.
In Captain Hook's opinion, although it seems safe to stay in the church at the moment, after all, pretending to be a god is simply a tiger skin, in case the church finds out, there is really nowhere to run, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
But Chen Daolin seemed to be hesitating - he seemed to be waiting for something.
Finally, one night, after dinner, Hook couldn't help but ask Chen Daolin: "Master, the weather is getting warmer, when can we change into spring clothes? β
When Chen Daolin heard this, he smiled faintly, he naturally understood what Hook meant, and after thinking about it, he sighed: "It's not time yet." β
In his heart, he secretly frowned: Could it be that Lao Tzu's "Charming Eye" is not effective? Chris, that old bastard can't lie to me, right? It's easy to leave the imperial capital, but I haven't found all my equipment! There are a lot of things stored in the storage ring, but my foothold capital in this other world -- not to mention, that crossing door is something I can't afford to throw away!
......
Chen Daolin's patience finally paid off.
On the third day of the opening of martial law in the imperial capital, he overheard a message from the divine servants who served him beside him.
The interior of the church requires a careful cleaning and decoration of the main church, because ......
The young lady of the Rollin family, the future queen, is said to have finally recovered from years of eye disease, and in order to thank the goddess for her blessing, this noble lady will come to church tomorrow to pray......
