Chapter 543: Watching the Ceremony
Just when Qin Wen arranged for Wang Yan to go to Kafu's house, Cafu was already on the way to the Vatican Chapel, and the Navy Department of the Xili Republic agreed to Kafu's plan to hand over these pirates to the Holy See, and the rear admiral personally led the team to escort these pirates to the Vatican Chapel for handover, while Cafu went to the Vatican Chapel to watch the ceremony as the captain of the captured pirates, and he was accompanied by several shipboard mates.
It was an extremely honorable event, and perhaps he would be received by the archbishop, so Cafu and a few of the first mates were happily talking about the scenery along the way, and this was inland, and there was a squadron of the navy escorting them, and there was no doubt that there would be pirates' accomplices to rob the prison.
After coming to the Vatican Chapel, Cafu and these first mates couldn't help but be solemn, this is the closest place to the god they worship, the Pope is still the only mortal who can communicate with the god in the legend, loud conversation and rude behavior are not allowed, this kind of truth does not need to be reminded by others, basically every Western monk who comes to the Vatican Chapel will naturally abide by these rules.
Just as Cafu and the others were received by the cardinal, they entered the church, and a sneaky figure quickly flew in the direction of the temple behind them, and came to the iron gate of the temple of judgment where they temporarily lived, and whispered a few words to the monk guarding the door, and the monk hurriedly opened the door and let the black-clad monk enter the iron gate.
The black-clothed monk hurriedly walked into the door of the study of the divine seat, saw the closed door, couldn't help but hesitate and knocked lightly on the door, and Wu Xiao's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
The black-clothed monk cautiously entered the study, and saw Wu Xiao looking at the books on the desk, and the butler Kru standing next to him, so he spoke: "Lord Shenzao." The subordinates have already heard clearly, the one-eyed shark pirates you mentioned at that time have all been escorted over just now, and the captain of the merchant ship has also arrived, and those people call him Captain Kafu, followed by a rear admiral of the Republic of Western Leba. ”
Wu Xiao couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Captain Kafu is here? Are there three Eastern monks in there, right?" There should also be an Oriental friar?"
The black-clothed monk thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "No, there are no Oriental faces here this time, and there is not even a single woman, this subordinate can be sure." ”
Wu Xiao didn't expect that Qin Wen and the three of them didn't come over, which made him fall into deep thought, in fact, after coming here, Wu Xiao's first preparation was to attack Qin Wen and the three of them, he didn't know where Qin Wen was going. So you can only start from the merchant ship, the Holy See's intelligence system is very complete, and soon Wu Xiao found out that the captain of the merchant ship is called Kafu, who lives in the Republic of Western Li.
Just when he was about to use the power of his adjudication temple to torture Kafu and force him to tell the whereabouts of Qin Wen and Su Ruo, he suddenly got the news that Kafu was going to escort pirates to the Holy See with the navy of the Western Li Republic, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Xiao still put this plan on hold for the time being.
He thought that maybe Qin Wen and Su Ruo would come to the Holy See with Kafu. I sent people to the Vatican Chapel in front of me every day to investigate, and I finally got the news today. However, what he didn't expect was that Qin Wen and Su Ruo didn't come with him, which made him hesitate again.
It stands to reason that now is a good opportunity to secretly take down Kafu and then ask Qin Wen's whereabouts, but Wu Xiao feels that he is also a newcomer to the Adjudication Temple, and he still doesn't know some of the stakes involved, in case he makes a mistake. Being suspected by the monks in the Holy See, and then involving the fact that he used to be a pirate, it would be a bit more than worth the loss.
But if he didn't take revenge, he was a little unwilling and thought about it. Or decided to wait for the matter of dealing with the one-eyed shark pirates to come to an end, and then make a move after the situation calmed down a little, he estimated that Su Ruo and Qin Wen would not go back for a while, he could send someone to secretly follow Kafu this time, and then attack Kafu in three or five months, and then force Qin Wen's whereabouts to be asked, and he could let people attack and kill Qin Wen and the three of them.
With his current status, although it is said that during the period when there is no judgment divine seat, the judgment temple is somewhat declining, but there are still many high-level monks in the temple, and it should not be a problem to kill three oriental monks, although Su Ruo has a formation disk in his hand, but under the absolute strength, it is relatively simple for a spirit disciple to break her formation plate, not to mention that Wu Xiao is ready to send three monks of this realm to prepare to exercise this plan.
He sobered up from his contemplation, and looked at the Butler Crewe next to him before he spoke, and the Butler Crewe said in a reminding tone: "Lord God, it is estimated that His Majesty the Pope will invite His Majesty to watch the ceremony and deal with the pirates tomorrow, and the subordinates have asked the adults to cut a few new sets of clothes, so you might as well try them on first." ”
Wu Xiao listened to the words of Butler Crewe, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, although he had never participated in this kind of viewing ceremony, but once he appeared in public, it would be troublesome if he was recognized by Cafu or the pirates of the one-eyed shark, not to mention that he was still an oriental face, and it should be very easy to recognize on the viewing platform.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiao said tentatively: "Tomorrow I am going to retreat and practice, but the books I have been reading these days suddenly have some feelings, so I won't go to the ceremony, and the Holy See won't have any opinions, right?"
Steward Kru didn't know what Wu Xiao had been planning in his heart, he originally thought that Wu Xiao had been paying attention to the affairs of pirates during this time and would be interested in dealing with pirates, but he didn't expect that he would turn down the invitation to watch the ceremony, but this is not a big deal, and there is no jurisdictional relationship between the Holy See and the Temple, so he nodded and agreed: "Since the adults don't want to go, then when the monks in the Holy See come tomorrow, I will refrain from this matter to him." ”
Wu Xiao couldn't help but think of one more thing at this time, he had been drifting in the sea for so many years, and the pirates he caught now were the people he was most familiar with, in case the Holy See opened up tomorrow and released some pirates who had just joined the gang, then these people would also be a threat to him in the future, so he asked: "What will these pirates do tomorrow?"
Butler Crewe pondered slightly: "According to the rules of the Holy See, it is estimated that they will be put on the gallows, and the most heinous of them may be burned at the stake, the one-eyed shark once attacked the ships of the Holy See, I think tomorrow His Majesty the Pope and the archbishop will participate in this ceremony to deal with pirates." ”
Wu Xiao asked: "Are all pirates going to be sentenced to death, or will some of the less serious crimes be spared?" When he said this, he had already made up his mind, as long as Steward Kru said that some might be released, he would send someone to cut down all these released pirates, and he must not let any rumors threaten his current position.
Butler Kru nodded and said: "My subordinates will not let go of any pirate, in the past, ordinary pirates were basically punished by death when they were dealt with by the Holy See, not to mention that this time it was the one-eyed shark that was caught." ”
Wu Xiao relieved his mind at this time, waved his hand at the Kru butler and the black-clothed monk and said, "Okay, you guys go down, I want to be quiet by myself, by the way, although I won't go tomorrow, it's best for our temple to send someone to participate, and when I come back, tell me everything that happened during the execution." ”
Butler Kru nodded and agreed, bowed gently to Wu Xiao with the black-clothed monk, and then slowly withdrew from the room, leaving Wu Xiao alone in the study, he stood up from the chair, paced to the windowsill, his eyes were cold and looked at the blood-like remnant sun in the west, with a hideous expression on his face.
Qin Wen didn't know now that a mistake by Kafu at that time had created a powerful enemy for him and Su Ruo, and he and Su Ruo continued to walk west after Wang Yan left, and when they approached Xicheng Castle, they found a relatively clean bar, and asked for a few servings of bread and sausages in it, accompanied by three glasses of dark beer, which were basically the most common foods they ate in this period.
The cooking methods of Western countries are not the same as those of Daqi at all, and it is those dishes that are turned over and over in the big hotel, and Su Ruo is already respectful of steak and red wine, as well as foie gras and the like, so they feel that it is not as good as bread and sausages.
The three of them had just finished eating the food in front of them, and the door of the bar was pushed open from the outside again, but after the person glanced at it, he found Qin Wen and the three of them, and he couldn't help but change his complexion, and he turned around to leave, Qin Wen also saw the face of that person at this time, it was the knight of Joseph who was injured by Su Ruo with a array.
Before Qin Wen could open his mouth to speak, Joseph saw Su Ruo with a guarded face, as if he had seen a ghost, and hurriedly ran out of the bar, Qin Wen knew that with the true strength of the three of them, even if they were combined, they might not be able to deal with Joseph, mainly relying on Su Ruo's array.
Su Ruo's brows frowned slightly, although Joseph left when he saw them, but a high-level monk like him would always have a few friends with a similar realm to him, in case he went out to find someone to deal with the three of them, it would be a little tricky, she saw that Qin Wen had also eaten, so she got up and said, "Let's go too." ”
Qin Wen also thought of this, so he nodded and left the bar together, because he didn't know if Joseph had the idea of finding someone to help him, the steps of the three of them accelerated slightly and left the street in front of them, and then walked towards the outside of the city, just not far from the city gate, Qin Wen saw a familiar figure again, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.
