Chapter 342 [Finally waiting for the news] (two in one)(1/2)
(Two in one chapter, seven thousand words)
Chapter 342 [The news finally arrived]
Heinx swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, and resisted the urge to kick the bastard out of his prayer room, but suddenly saw the smile in Chen Daolin's eyes. The Pope finally sighed and said slowly: "His Excellency Darling, this is deliberately using words to stimulate me."
Heinx, worthy of being the Pope, calmed down instantly. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Although the stories you told are deliberately to entertain me, if you think about them carefully, it makes sense. Some teach people honesty, some teach people to be upright, and some teach people to be persistent... I ask myself such wonderful stories, but I have never heard of them. Are they all circulated in the hometown of Darling? It makes me fascinated and don't know what kind of place can give birth to geniuses like Darling."
What kind of place? Chen Daolin rolled his eyes secretly. Tianchao, smog for 365 days a year, 300 days of haze, hard work for a year, can’t afford a house of one square meter, poison rice, poison capsules, buses and subways, and you have to play hide-and-seek with the urban management when setting up a street stall - are you really fascinated by this place? Pope, then you don’t have to be polite. If you really want to go, just go...
After coughing hard, Chen Daolin smiled strangely: "About my hometown, if the Pope is very interested, I still have some stories to say, such as... One Thousand and One Nights?"
Heinx's face turned dark. What's the problem enough! One thousand and one night? Are you planning to talk to me until next year?
After trying to calm down, Heinx wiped his forehead and said slowly: "If you have the chance to ask for advice in this matter, please...Darling, don't go around in circles anymore. I think you should be very clear about what the question I want to ask."
Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes: "His Majesty the Pope, I want to ask... What will the goddess sends me, the messenger, to convey to the church? Or, what is the mission of my messenger?"
"That's right!" Heinx immediately sat up straight and stared at Chen Daolin with bright eyes.
"That's it..." Chen Daolin gently grabbed his hair, then spread his hands, with a helpless expression: "I personally am willing to tell you, but... the goddess doesn't let me say it, what should I do?"
"……………” Heinx was really stunned. After a while, the Pope gasped: "No, don't let me say it?!"
"Yes, the goddess won't let me say it." Chen Daolin looked helpless.
"This, this..." Heinx really wanted to go wild, he had a blue face: "Are you enjoying me?"
Huh? How do you know you are enjoying you? Chen Daolin complained in his heart: The task Semer gave me is to destroy your Temple of Light directly. Do you want me to tell you too?
Heinx suppressed his anger: "Since you call yourself a messenger of God and come to my church with the will of God of God, why don't you convey the will of God?"
Chen Daolin touched his nose in embarrassment: "Does this...must I say so clearly?"
"certainly!!"
"Okay." Chen Daolin spread his hands: "Simply put, the goddess is very dissatisfied with what you guys do. She is a temple of light, claiming to be the spokesperson of the goddess in the world, but she is getting worse and worse, and she is almost unable to survive. Her power is getting less and less. She is obviously suppressed and she is so angry that she is so stupid that she is raised by the royal family. However, many senior officials in your church seem to be very comfortable in this kind of pig-like life, she is lazy, and is arrogant and luxurious... In this situation, His Majesty the Pope, do you think the goddess will be very satisfied?"
Heinx had a gloomy face.
"Okay, you can't fight Du Wei... It's not your Heinx's fault. After all, you didn't catch up with Du Wei's era. The first Duke of Tulip was a powerful character, who caused the Temple of Light to be miserable. You suffered a lot of great losses... It's fine. But how many years have passed? It's fine if you can't fight Du Wei, but you can't even fight his son, grandson, and great-grandson. You've been living a lot until today, and you've been getting back and forth - this is always unreasonable, right?"
Heinx blushed and always felt that what the other party said seemed to make sense, but it seemed that something was wrong. But for a moment, he couldn't find any words to refute. He had to hold his breath and stare at Chen Daolin with wide eyes.
"So..." Chen Daolin smiled and said, "The goddess is very dissatisfied with your work. Ah... You probably want to say, why doesn't the goddess show miracles directly to help you reconstruct your prestige? Hey, don't worry, nod. I want to ask you back, if the great goddess takes action in everything, why do you, the idle people? Is it also let you stay in the church and train a group of beautiful 'God servants' to play bathing games?"
Heinx retorted speechlessly.
"You are probably very puzzled. Why did the goddess choose a god envoy, but she didn't choose a devout believer, but chose a guy like me? Actually, I can't understand this problem either, but since the goddess chose me, there are naturally the goddess's own considerations. His Majesty, to put it bluntly, you and I are both mortals, although you should be considered a very smart person... I am not a fool to ask myself. But ask His Majesty, do you think your wisdom has surpassed the goddess?"
Heinx shook his head - although he was conceited, as the pope of the Temple of Light and the spiritual leader of all the believers in this world who worship goddesses, how could he dare to say such a rebellious word that he believed that wisdom had surpassed the goddess?
This kind of thought is a sin even if you think about it in your heart!
"So." Chen Daolin spread his hands: "Since you and I can't figure it out... Anyway, all this is arranged by the goddess, so since our wisdom cannot understand the intentions of the gods, we should just stop thinking about it. Just obey the goddess' arrangements and do it according to the will of the goddess - the goddess' arrangements are not enough for you and me to be stinking? Why do you and me have to think so much about it?"
This...it seems to be true, but I always feel something is wrong...
"Simply put, the goddess naturally has a will to me, and I also have to do something that the goddess asks me to do - but I can't tell you about the specific content. Even if you are the Pope, you don't have the right to know, do you understand? Of course, you can't believe me, or even think that I'm talking nonsense to deceive you. You can even let the Holy Knights arrest me and torture me, or kill me directly as a liar... But if you think about it, if you really do this, maybe the goddess will directly bring down a disaster tomorrow as a punishment for the gods."
Cold sweat flowed from Heinx's forehead.
He had already thought about it carefully before he came to see Chen Daolin, but he never expected that what Chen Daolin said was what he said.
The goddess has a will, but the goddess told me not to tell you... What kind of envoy is this!!!
Such words are extremely absurd and incredible!
But just because of such absurd words, they fooled smart people like Heinx.
But Chen Daolin said the answer "The goddess won't let you tell you", which seems ridiculous, but instead made Heinx dare not disbelieve it.
Unless this Darling Chen is an idiot, he will dare to use such ridiculous words to deceive the huge church of the Temple of Light!
Is Darling Chen an idiot? Heinx immediately denied this. He could save Montoya and Lanlan's lives, as well as Darling Chen's character who learned from Lantoya and many other channels. This guy is a genius and a smart person.
Since you are a smart person... you dare to say such a speechless answer, then...
I can only believe that this is the truth.
The idea of a smart person is very simple: if Darling Chen is a liar, then he dares to make up such a shocking scam, and at least he should make up a set of precise and excellent lies!
...
Seeing Heinx's expression was gloomy and his eyes struggled repeatedly, Chen Daolin laughed in his heart: This big fish has taken the bait.
This kind of lie is the most suitable one to deceive Heinx. If he uses it to deceive a fierce general like Montoya, he might be killed without saying a few words. But this pope was too meticulous to jump into such a pit and unable to get out.
"Pope, as for my mission, that's not something you can know - at least in the previous stage, I won't tell you. This is also the will of the goddess! The only thing I can reveal to you is: The goddess tells me that when I encounter difficulties and need help, I can show my identity to the church and obtain some support and help from the church. This is all I can tell you now."
Heinx's silence lasted longer this time.
The Pope seemed to be in a dilemma. After thinking for a long time, he finally sighed.
"Okay! Lord Darling...I can accept your statement. Although I still have many questions about your identity as a messenger, I can accept it for the time being. So, please tell me, what kind of help and support do you want the church to give you next?"
"It's very simple. I am a fugitive now. I need to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible." Chen Daolin looked at Heinx: "This should not be a difficult thing for the dignified Temple of Light."
Heinx nodded after hearing this: "I have 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 attacked the palace and rescued some prisoners, and escaped from the imperial capital under the pursuit of the Red Feather Cavalry. Judging from the news we received, it seems that His Majesty Hilo's vision was confused. They probably thought that you and your companions were all rescued by the group, so most of their attention was focused on tracing and searching for the group. As for the martial law in the imperial capital, it is just a normal process. If nothing unexpected happens, this martial law will be cancelled soon. At that time, it will not be too difficult to find a way to send you out of the imperial capital."
Chen Daolin breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, he learned some external news. Although he is safe to hide in the church now, he knows nothing about external news. This is his biggest shortcoming at present.
But... Speaking of which, when I ran away that day, there was another group of people robbing the prison. This was a bizarre coincidence. The group of people also helped him and attracted Hilo's attention.
Although this incident made Chen Daolin feel strange, since he has received very little information, he simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.
"The news we have received is that in addition to you, Lord Darling, there are also the leader of the Liszt family and... Miss Lodell. It can be said that in addition to you and your companions, the Liszt family has also successfully escaped from the imperial capital. Of course, this news has not been made public. I think His Majesty Hilo was not determined to do anything, and perhaps, he did not want to put this matter openly on the table, otherwise there would be no room for maneuver. Perhaps... the two sides will reach a compromise and deal in the near future." Heinx is worthy of his own good.
It was the Pope, and he quickly analyzed the situation clearly, and he hit Hilo's real intention at this time: "If the pursuing person can capture the patriarch Liszt and others back, then it can be said that the patriarch will be dead and will be executed secretly. But if it cannot be recovered, the negotiation will soon be carried out in secret compared to a negotiation. As for the identity of the group who robbed the prison, it is not difficult to guess... If it weren't for the death warrior of the Liszt family, then, looking at the empire, only the Tulips family has the strength and courage to do such things."
Chen Daolin thought about it... Is Tulip's house?
Why did Du Weiwei send someone to rob the prison and save the old man Liszt?
But he didn't know that the people sent by Du Weiwei to the imperial capital were robbing the prison, but they came completely for him. As for taking Old Man Liszt away, Pure Shrine was just a handy one.
...
Chen Daolin stayed in the church temporarily.
What he didn't know was that after Heinx had a deep conversation with him, he immediately summoned Montoya and Lanlan secretly again.
Especially when Lan Lan summoned Lan, Heinx asked in detail about Lan Lan's experience of acquaintance with Chen Daolin in the frozen forest. He asked very carefully, and even did not miss every detail. Lan Lan did not dare to tell lies when facing his teacher. She told him all the time to the separation process - of course, Lan Lan concealed and did not dare to reveal it.
"So... this Darling Chen really suddenly seemed to appear in the Roland Empire out of thin air? He appeared out of thin air in the frozen forest? Before this time node, the entire Roland Empire could no longer find any clues about this person? Or, as he said, he came from an overseas country? But overseas? There is really another continent, another country, and another human world that he said?"
Heinx thought hard for a night. As a pope and an outstanding leader carefully cultivated by the church for decades, Heinx immediately grasped two key points!
The first point is that from Lan Lan's words, Heinx discovered that when he was in the frozen forest, Darling Chen did not have any magical power, and when he met Lan Lan, he was even very unfamiliar with the affairs of the church. At that time, he did not show any trace of his identity as a "God Envoy"!
In other words, there may be such a possibility: when Darling Chen first appeared in the frozen forest, he was not a divine envoy, but he was given the divine envoy's mission, and he was favored by the goddess in the frozen forest or afterwards?
Regarding this first point, Heinx's reaction was very direct: on the next day, he sent Lanlan and Tacitus, the commander of the Sacred Knights, who led the team himself and drew fifty elite men from the church to form an adventure team.
The mission of this team is very simple. Enter the Ice Forest and start searching from the area near the Dayuan Lake where Lanlan and Chen Daolin first met. Then, according to Lanlan's memory, contact all the places that Lord Darling Chen has walked, everyone he has contacted, including the elf tribe, to see if he can find any valuable clues. According to Lanlan's explanation, Darling Chen broke up with her in the three-in-one town of "Free Port". The route tracked by the adventure team is to completely re-track the route from the Ice Forest to "Free Port" to search and find any suspicious clues!
"Every place he has been to, every person he has contacted...even if he walks a path, a stone he has stepped on, a bark he has broken, or a wild dog he has kicked, he must carefully check it!"
In addition, according to the news, Darling Chen later appeared in the castle of the Liszt family, the Governor's Office in the Newhoven Province of the East China Sea... and even the castle of the Rollings!
Then the search team of Lanlan and Tacitus also needs to go to the castle of the Liszt family and the overseas Newhoven province, and finally go to the castle of the Rollings to track all suspicious clues!
What is certain is that Lan Lan, Tacitus and the elites of these fifty churches have not returned to the imperial capital for a long time...
However, it is worth mentioning that Heinx's guess is actually infinitely close to the fact: Chen Daolin met the "pseudo-patterned goddess" Semer, which did happen in the castle of the Rollin family.
The second key issue is that Chen Daolin claims to be from the mainland overseas.
The Pope passed a secret command. Soon, along the eastern coast of the empire, several ships secretly manipulated by the church and chambers of commerce that were doing overseas trade secretly drew the most sophisticated sailing ships in the shortest time and formed several ocean-going adventure fleets. They only claimed to go to sea to trade in the South China Sea. The real situation is: these several ocean-going adventure fleets were assigned different course missions, heading towards the depths of the sea, and looking for an overseas continent that might not exist at all.
After all, the Temple of Light is a state religion that has been standing for thousands of years. It is deeply rooted in wealth and powerful. It is organized into an ocean fleet. It can be said that it combines the most cutting-edge technology and outstanding talents of the existing ocean navigation of the Roland Empire.
What Chen Daolin didn't know was that because of his nonsense, he actually triggered a "big sailing movement" in this world...
As for these fleets, will they discover the so-called "overseas continent" in the end, or complete a great miracle of voyage around the world, and thus discover the magical truth of "the world is round" - that is not something Chen Daolin cares about.
...
The reaction of Chen Daolin's sudden identity as a "God Envoy", the people around him were very direct.
Captain Hook naturally didn't believe it, but he was very smart to realize that the young master probably fooled the church genius to seek benefits. In the church's nest, Captain Hook was very careful in his speech in order to prevent being eavesdropped on others and would not ask Chen Daolin any questions.
Although Xia Xia was also curious, the little girl also knew that she had made a fortune in silence after being warned a few times.
As for werewolf Chuck? It would be a blessing to have lamb legs to chew on every day.
As for the elf girl Barossa, she will be happy as long as she is with Chen Daolin. As for whether Chen Daolin is a divine envoy or suddenly becomes a devil, the elf girl doesn't care.
The only thing she was a little curious about was: Didn’t Darling believe in a magical “second brother teaching”?
...
The martial law in the imperial capital lasted for a full seven days.
Seven days later, the storm in the palace gradually subsided. After the martial law ended, pedestrians gradually appeared on the streets of the imperial capital, and some businesses finally opened their doors to do business... Although the streets of the imperial capital were obviously depressed after a series of major events, they finally recovered a little popularity.
To be continued...
