Chapter 9 Weird
Pope Nicholas is the most legendary figure in the contemporary era.
The religious leader of the Holy Empire, the highest power of the Holy Church, and one of the few powerful people in the world. Any document, as long as his name is printed, will become of great significance.
What is most praised is his vision. He likes to cultivate and discover young newcomers, and he has almost no mistakes, such as the God Knight Mars.
Unlike most famous knights in the world, Mars had no aristocratic background. He was born in a humble background and even had a profession similar to a groom, which was once despised.
But after several dealings, Pope Nicholas looked at this young man differently, and even baptized him personally and gave him the name Mars... No one remembered the original name of the Knight of God.
This was a shocking thing at that time. The Pope actually baptized an unknown boy and guided him to join the arms of God. But several years later, it turned out that the Pope's vision was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
In the Battle of Lieyang Mountain, Mars' reputation overwhelmed everyone in the world. He died with the Demon God Emperor with a young attitude, which is enough to show that his talent is amazing. If he is still alive, his achievements are unimaginable now.
In the Holy Empire, no one dares to be disrespectful to Pope Nicholas. Even the king of today needs to respect the younger generation in front of the Pope.
When he stepped into the chamber, no one dared to speak out again. Even the most arrogant Archbishop Longkali was like an obedient junior at this time.
The Holy Spirit Staff, the legendary artifact given to the Holy Church by the God of Light, represents the divine power given to the God of Heaven and no one can violate it. Hold it in the hands of the Pope and follow him towards the golden jade throne.
The Magnolia Saint followed behind him, step by step, solemn and respectful. After the Pope walked onto the stone platform, the Magnolia Saint stood on the side of the golden jade throne.
The status of the Saint is even above the Cardinal Archbishop, but there is no seat. It also implies the fact that this status is false and does not have much real power.
Nicholas sat down, inserted the Holy Spirit staff on the side of the golden jade throne, and then reached out to signal, and everyone sat down.
He glanced at everyone and nodded at Bishop Andrew. Then Andrew continued to lead Qin Shaofu forward, arranged to sit in a position on the periphery, and then sat down at his own position.
After sitting down, he stood up again, bowed to the Pope, and looked at the people around him and said, "Today I want to talk about three things. First, Assad is dead, his head has been brought back by this young man and sent to the Magic Academy for testing, and the results will come out soon."
"Crown of the Pope!"
Longkali stood up, bowed and said to Andrew: "I have said it just now, and he has admitted that Assad was not killed by him."
"Dongdong!"
Hadros, behind the pope, knocked on the handrail of the table: "The content on the golden wanted warrant is: Whoever brings Assad's head back, the reward belongs to whom it is, and it doesn't matter who kills it."
Looking at everyone's surprised look, I couldn't help but smile: "Sorry, I'm more sensitive to the ownership of the reward."
Longkali seemed to be very concerned about Hadros. Whenever he spoke, he didn't dare to refute. When he heard him say this, he could only say: "This...then it's his."
Seeing that he didn't say much, Andrew continued: "The second thing is that the Magnolia Saint was attacked by Assad, and the Knights Ted and the knights under his command returned to the Lord's arms."
As soon as this was said, the stone palace suddenly became an uproar. Bishop Longkali stood up again and said loudly: "This is a provocation, this is an insult, this is a great disrespect to the God of Light."
Looking at the entire chamber, he said, "The war in the Far East never ceased, and the ambitions of the pagans never ceased. This incident means that they have decided to make a comeback."
"When the demons invaded and the Demon God Emperor came strongly, these pagans were ill-intentioned and did not put the overall situation first. They even wanted to take the opportunity to subvert our bishop and slaughter Mount Moria. If it weren't for the God Knights, our people would have no foothold."
"Today, these Saracenites are trying to murder the Saint again. It is time to expel these pagans with jihad and let the light of the God of Light illuminate the entire continent of Kaos."
The attack on the saint is like a thunder storm.
In an instant, the entire chamber was in full bloom and the crowd was infuriated.
"Holy War, Holy War!"
All the knights were responding to Bishop Longkali's call and shouting loudly, wishing they could kill to the Far East now and kill to the Saracen people's nest.
"Quiet!"
A moment later, Pope Nicholas spoke, with a small voice, but it instantly calmed the entire chamber and everyone looked at their leader.
He pressed one hand on the Holy Spirit staff and rubbed it carefully, as if he was thinking about something. No one spoke, and was waiting.
After a while, Pope Nicholas spoke: "Bike Longkali, tomorrow you go to the Far East and do things cheaply. I need to know the details there."
Bishop Longkali nodded: "Order of the crown!"
"Biden Kobelio, you go and investigate Assad's affairs. A pirate who is powerful in the sea suddenly appears in the inland and attacks the Saint. This is definitely not a momentary impulse. I hope to know more."
A slightly fat archbishop in the cardinal stood up and nodded and saluted: "Order of the crown."
"This is the case for the time being."
Pope Nicholas looked at everyone and said, "This meeting was originally necessary for only the Archbishop in the Cardinal, but it still allowed the rest of you to come. It was to tell you that under the glory of the Lord, we can live in peace, but outside, the ambitions of the demons never disappeared."
Everyone, whether knights or monks, had a solemn look on their faces and shouted loudly: "The glory of the patron saint who vowed to die."
Nicholas nodded slightly and said again: "The holy war will be put aside for the time being. The most important thing now is the coming of the angel Holy Spirit."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was quiet again. Bishop Longkali stood up and said, "There are a total of forty-five places, and the patriarchs have allocated twenty-two to the royal family and nobles from all sides, and there are twenty-three. Following the old example, each Archbishop in the Cardinal recommended two people, and they have been confirmed, and the remaining one place..."
"I think the Francis Knights of the Seventh Legion can receive this honor."
As soon as this said, Bishop Fabio immediately stood up and shook his head and said, "If the Knight Francis can get this honor, what should the Knight Davis who defeated him?"
"Everyone knows that the Knight Davis is romantic and lustful. How can such a person carry the glory of the angel Holy Spirit?" Another Archbishop in Cardinal stood up and said, "In my opinion, the Knight Brown of the Tenth Legion is the most qualified."
"I think Walker Knight is better..."
"I think Lopp Knight..."
Many archbishops in the middle of the neck are not behind and each speak the names of the person they like. Such a quota is extremely precious. If there is one more person in their own country, it is unimaginable to help their faction in the future, so they naturally have to strive for it.
The shared hatred of the enemy just now disappeared, and there was another noise for a moment.
During the argument, someone took some things and walked quietly under the stone platform. Hudros got up and took the things over. After carefully looking at them, he casually patted on the chair: "Silence!"
Although he was not the Pope, it seemed that everyone was concerned about him and became quiet in an instant.
Pope Nicholas looked at what was in his hand and asked, "How is it? Are you sure?"
"It's OK!" Hudros nodded: "It's Assad!"
Pope Nicholas thought for a moment and made a decision: "Send the result and send it to the imperial capital. Then, treat this head with anticorrosion and send it to the Far East to the Saracen people. There is a saying in the East that leaves return to their roots and give it to them."
"clear!"
Hudros nodded and said to many archbishops in the cardinals: "You have seen it too. I'm very busy and don't have much time to listen to you quarrels here, so... I'm sorry, I might have to deal with my business first."
Regardless of the many archbishops in the back of the neck, he waved to Qin Shaofu: "Come here!"
Qin Shaofu was stunned for a moment, looked at Archbishop Longkali not far away, and did not dare to go over.
"Don't be afraid!"
Hudros smiled slightly: "I am a good person, not as extreme as them. I will deal with the rewards of the Holy See's wanted orders, so I need to implement your reward. If you come up, they won't say you or something."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when the other party said “I am a good person”, Qin Shaofu clearly saw that everyone, including those archbishops in the cardinal, had a look of ghosts.
But it also made him feel a little relieved. He was busy taking a few steps forward and walking under the stone platform.
Hudros walked off the stone platform, touched it in his arms for a while, took out an exquisite wanted warrant for Phnom Penh and slapped it on Qin Shaofu's chest: "After so many years, I have provided much information about Assad and sent how many people to be a spy undercover agent. What's the result? Dozens of elites died in my man, but Assad was at large for more than 30 years."
"For so many years, let alone bringing someone to the table, I have not even had a person who dared to take the initiative to ask for his life. It's a shameful thing, you helped me get the place back."
"I don't care who killed Assad, I just care if his head is real."
The knights and the Archbishop in the middle of the night looked red and white, and they were just for them to hear.
"Which one would choose between 500,000 silver coins or 500,000 meritorious people?"
What Hudros asked made Qin Shaofu stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
For an ordinary family of four, the living expenses of a year are about thirty to fifty silver coins, 500,000 silver coins, what an astronomical figure.
Just as he was about to speak, Hudros suddenly said again: "Five hundred thousand merits are quite useful, for example, just change the title of Lord Knight to play with it."
Playing with the words "two" made the knights extremely unhappy, but it made Qin Shaofu feel as if he was injected with chicken blood. His expression was shocked and he blurted out without hesitation: "I want 500,000 meritorious deeds, I want the Lord Knight."
"No!"
Longkali immediately shouted loudly: "No!"
"What's wrong?" Hudros asked with confusion: "According to the rules of the Holy See, forty-five thousand merits can be exchanged for the Knights of Merit. If you want to stop it, please tell your reasons. Remember, it is a reasonable reason."
"You know that I am a person, and I don't like to be interrupted when doing things, and I also know that I will not accept the reason for the race... because there is no such record in the Bible. God of Light tells us to love the world."
"No...I'm just...just..."
With a stuttering, it seemed that something suddenly came to mind. Longkali's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "He has not received baptism and cannot be a knight. Moreover, if he becomes a lord knight, it is necessary to perform baptism or archbishop, but I am forbidden to say that, here, I am afraid no bishop is willing to baptize him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hudros frowned, and many monks bowed their heads to avoid his gaze. Even Archbishop Andrew, who had been quite kind to Qin Shaofu, also frowned slightly, and had no intention of standing up.
If no one even stood up here, it would be impossible for other places to go. The atmosphere in the entire stone hall was awkward for a moment, causing a hint of gloom in Hadros' eyes and his face became extremely serious.
It was during the tranquility that I suddenly heard someone say, "Let me do the baptism!"
