Chapter 534: Scramble
Wu Xiao's short knife had just been raised, and there was a flower in front of him, and more than 100 clergy of the Holy See stood at a distance of less than two zhang from them, Wu Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the lowest of these clergymen who were also on the upper level of the Xuanshi, and sighed secretly with a cold feeling in his heart: "I am an ordinary person now, is it necessary to use such a big fight to arrest me like this?"
And the priest that Wu Xiao wanted to attack, stared at the short knife in Wu Xiao's hand with his eyes, and said in surprise: "I found it, I found it, the blade of judgment under the throne of God, God, this is God's favor, this is your gift to the people." Saying this, his gaze became fanatical at that moment, and he reached out to take the short knife from Wu Xiao's hand.
Wu Xiao was stunned by his words, now it was impossible to sneak attack, but with his meager physical strength, wanting to fight with the priest in front of him was like a duel between a white rabbit and a cheetah, he no longer had any resistance in his heart, just stared blankly at the hand of the short knife stretched out to him.
Just when the priest had not yet touched the short knife, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of the two, and the priest's fingers were blocked out the moment they touched the short knife, and the priest couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately turned to look at the clergy behind him.
One of the black-robed swordsmen walked out, glaring at a red-robed and short-bearded swordsman on the opposite side and said, "Bishop Weaver, what do you mean by this? This Judgment Blade was discovered by my subordinate church priest, why do you want to stop him? ”
The red-robed swordsman named Weaver said with a sneer on his face: "Bishop Patin, I think it is your priest who wants to seize the heir to the throne who found the Judgment Blade, everyone here has seen it, and now he is taking the Judgment Blade in the hands of others, if I hadn't stopped it in time, this Judgment Blade would have been snatched by him." ”
Bishop Padin couldn't help but hesitate. Looking at Wu Xiao in the focus, he said with some disdain: "This is a commoner, and it is also an Oriental, do you think that the Divine Throne will appoint a commoner, an Oriental who does not have the slightest vitality, to be his heir?"
Weaver said in a mocking tone, "Bishop Patin, all human beings are God's people, and this is what we will learn on the first day of our visit to the Holy See. Whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, no matter what race, any color, as long as he believes in the Holy See, he is a citizen of God, and of course he is qualified to be the heir of the throne of God. ”
The other bishops next to him watched the two people arguing, and they all had their own little calculations in their hearts. However, what Weaver said was also reasonable, and he couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and no one came to participate in this argument, Bishop Patin was suddenly a little speechless by Weaver, and he glared angrily at the priest who wanted to snatch the Judgment Blade under his seat, if he could get the Judgment Blade before he came, there would not be so many things.
Even Weaver was still quibbling that the Blade of Judgment was the Oriental in front of him, and the Blade of Judgment would be in his own hands at that time. Everything is easy to do, even if the dispute is placed in the archbishop. Or the Pope, Patin is also absolutely sure that he will win this argument and win the place of heir to the throne for his own region.
But now that the situation was a little passive, he turned his eyes and pointed the finger at Wu Xiao, who was holding the blade of judgment, and said, "Where are you from? Do you know God and the Holy See?"
He had already made up his mind, an Oriental like Wu Xiao in a long robe. If you can come here, maybe you have fled, not to mention knowing God and the Holy See, it is estimated that you can't even understand Western languages, as long as Wu Xiao can't speak Western languages. Or if he has no intention of making a move, he can say that he is blaspheming, and then this priest of his own, who has successfully completed the chapter, is the heir to the throne.
However, his thoughts fell short the moment Wu Xiao spoke, Wu Xiao has been able to mix in the pirate group for many years, not only has a formation in his hand, but he is also very good at observing words and feelings, when the two bishops are arguing, his mind immediately becomes active, he knows that the focus of these people is on the short knife in his hand.
This short knife should be what they call the blade of judgment, and then what heir is still fighting, there is a relationship between Pattin, who opened his mouth to ask himself, and the priest who wants to snatch the short knife, and the other Weaver does not want this heir to fall into the hands of Pattin, it is estimated that there is a feud between them, this is a chance for him to live.
Wu Xiao has already made up his mind in his heart, if Padin wants to get the short knife, he will definitely dispose of himself at all costs, and now he can only rely on Weaver, Wu Xiao also saw Pattin's idea of asking, so he rolled his eyes and pretended to have an innocent expression: "I am an oriental monk from the country of Jiaguan, and the Holy See knows that the priest who came to us on a merchant ship once preached in my hometown, and my parents and myself are faithful servants of God." ”
Hearing Wu Xiao's words, Pattin's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had inadvertently swallowed a fly while eating, while Weaver on the other side was smiling, and the other clergy were surprised, they didn't expect that Wu Xiao could actually speak Western languages, and he happened to be a monk, this is exactly the same as the prophecy of the divine seat, and several clergy have prayed sincerely to cleanse themselves of the sins they had just thought about.
Patin knew that it was too difficult for him to redeem this matter, so he stared at Wu Xiao and said: "I am not convinced, I want to appeal to the archbishop, and I must not let an Oriental be the heir of the throne, and the bloodline of the heir of the throne must be pure." Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that he had said something wrong, and closed his mouth directly.
At this time, Patin had already felt that among the clergy, there were also some bishops of other colors who threw cold eyes at him, if he offended these bishops, he would face an isolated position in the Holy See, and Padin hurriedly explained: "What I said is that it must be Westerners, and the East is different from our practice and understanding of God. ”
Weaver said with some disdain: "Didn't he just say it? His parents are both servants who believe in God, and he himself has believed in the Holy See since he was a child, so I once sent a priest to preach in the country of Jiaguan in the East, by the way, have you been baptized?"
Wu Xiao had already recalled some of the conversations he had heard about the Holy See on the pirate ship, and of course he was no stranger to the word baptism, so he gently put the short knife into the placket of his shirt close to his chest, and then bowed down and said: "I was baptized, and the priest who helped me baptize was called Tom, and he also gave me a Western name called Xiao." ”
When Weaver heard this, he couldn't help but smile, even the name of the church was known, and he also knew the meaning of baptism, which made Patin absolutely unable to refute it anymore, and then he suddenly thought of a brilliant solution, and when all the bishops were still immersed in surprise, Weaver spoke: "The priest named Tom is a priest in my area, and since you have been baptized by him, then child, I will also be your witness in the future, so that you will be bathed in the light of God again." ”
As he spoke, Weaver stretched out his hands and silently recited some prayers, and when his hands were spread out, there was an extra white light in his hands, and the light dispersed more and more, and finally it was like a white mist waterfall, surging towards Wu Xiao, shrouding Wu Xiao in the baptism of white mist from head to toe.
The other bishops immediately understood when they saw this situation, this was to make Weaver pick up a big bargain for nothing, whether the pastor named Tom had seen Weaver or not is not necessarily, and even whether it was Weaver's subordinate is debatable, but now Weaver's actions show that Wu Xiao accepted his baptism, and this Oriental named Shaw is very likely to be the heir to the throne, then Weaver will become his baptismist.
Many bishops regretted why they hadn't been able to think of this method first, but Wu Xiao, who was bathed in the spiritual mist, felt a warm sense of comfort, as if he was lying on the velvet futon after taking a bath in the hot spring, all the hunger and cold on his body were swept away, and the whole person seemed to float up.
Patin now understands that this matter is irreparable, so he snorted coldly, and left this wasteland with a few priests behind him, Weaver took back the spiritual mist of baptism, and also said to the other bishops: "This will be Pastor Xiao of Hans Church in the future, during this time I will personally take him to the Vatican Chapel to meet the archbishop and the pope, if Bishop Patin obstructs it again, I hope the bishops can explain today's matter." ”
The bishops nodded slightly, although some bishops and Weaver did not have a very good relationship, but this matter could not be changed, it seemed that there was indeed going to be an heir to the throne in Weaver's church.
Weaver originally just wanted to add some blockage to Patin and prevent him from successfully snatching the position of the heir of the divine throne, but in the end, what he didn't expect was that he actually accepted this Oriental named Xiao by mistake, and at this time he was satisfied and took Wu Xiao with him.
Although Wu Xiao knew that he had passed the first level, he was a little apprehensive in mid-air, he had limited knowledge of the Holy See, and he didn't know what the heir of the divine throne they were talking about was, now he had to take one step at a time, and what worried him the most was the shattering of the dantian, and he didn't know what kind of decision Weaver would make after he found out that he couldn't practice for the rest of his life, and in this uncertain situation, he followed Weaver all the way to the west.
