The bishop stood there, looking at the Holy Emperor with his eyes closed and muttering to himself.
The Holy Emperor in front of him was completely different from the Holy Emperor in his memory.
The same white clothes and white hair, spotless, but the Holy Emperor in the past was just a symbol in the bishop's heart, deep, mysterious, and majestic. The tall figure projected by this symbol in his impression was enough to carry his life and soul.
Even faith.
The entire sanctuary obeys and executes his will with the most fanatical attitude. He carries the trust of billions of people, like a god walking on the ground. Every move he makes is majestic and almost vast.
But it wasn't until today that the bishop discovered that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was also a human being. When that profound and majestic cloak was completely crushed and shattered by the pressure from the outside world, the real Holy Emperor was an ordinary old man who controlled powerful spiritual power. He would also
When he is old, he will also be tired and haggard. When faced with huge crises and pressure, he will also be anxious and fearful.
A sacred place with thousands of years of history.
The Holy Emperor who can influence billions of people invisibly.
No one could have imagined that such a sanctuary would one day be forced to such an extent by a woman.
Likewise, no one dared to imagine that the Holy Emperor would lack the courage to face that woman in such a situation.
The bishop took a deep breath, his eyes looking extremely peaceful.
He saw the Holy Emperor's cowardice, but he did not look down on the Holy Emperor because of it.
His life was saved by the Holy Emperor. From that time on, the bishop's loyalty has been engraved in his bones. Whether he is the Holy Emperor or an ordinary old man, the bishop is willing to support all his decisions.
"If Your Majesty
If you change your mind..."
The bishop slowly said: "I can make arrangements right away, and there will be no compromise at all in the Holy Land."
"it's useless."
The Holy Emperor opened his eyes and laughed, feeling helpless and sighing: "It's useless."
The bishop was silent, his eyes extremely determined.
This is of course useless. Not to mention the terrifying destructive power of Qin Weibai's team, but the geographical location of the sanctuary, they have no room for resistance.
The Holy Land is surrounded by Italos on all sides. Walking out of the Holy Palace, no matter which direction you go, you will be on the streets of Italos within ten minutes.
When Italos's attitude became clear, the Holy Emperor had no strength to resist and no room to persist.
"Are you not far from the transcendent realm?"
The Holy Emperor asked with a smile. He looked at the bishop who had reached middle age and was even about to enter old age. What came to his mind was the same as the first time he saw him back then.
The bishop was an orphan in Italus during his childhood. Due to a special historical event, he became a helpless refugee in a series of turbulences. When the Holy Emperor met him, he almost starved to death.
In the refugee queue.
That was his first meeting with the bishop.
After that, the bishop followed the Holy Emperor into the Holy Realm, and inadvertently showed an extremely outstanding talent in the spiritual field.
For many years, the Holy Emperor has taken him by his side to train and teach him, and supported him in wearing that mysterious red robe. People in the Holy Domain and even the entire dark world knew that the Holy Emperor completely regarded the bishop as his successor.
cultivated.
"
I thought I still had enough time to watch you enter the transcendent realm..."
The Holy Emperor's voice was very gentle: "It's a pity... If my premonition is true, then the future of the Holy Realm will be left to you. Your current level is already very high, and you are only the last step away from the transcendent realm.
A threshold. If something happens to me, don't act rashly. First shrink the power of the Holy Realm and seize the opportunity to break through and enter the transcendent realm. This is the key to the continuation of the Holy Realm.
This era is still too dangerous. Jiang Shangyu, Li Tianlan, Qin Weibai, plus the Beihai Wang clan, and the Lin clan have also joined the world. Demons are dancing around, and the sanctuary lacks high-end combat power. In such a situation, it is still a bit fragile.
.
If I die in Qin Weibai's hands, you will be the new Holy Emperor. Remember, don't avenge me, that is not what I want to see.
What I hope to see is the continuation of the sanctuary. We have thousands of years of history and continuous inheritance. A temporary trough cannot mean anything.
The next journey requires you to take the sanctuary with you. Don't avenge me, and try not to participate in the struggle in the dark world. If the time is right, just withdraw.
If there is a dynasty in the future, there is no shame in surrendering for a while."
He looked at the bishop and said calmly: "Do you understand?"
"I...Sanctuary..."
The bishop kept taking deep breaths, and his eyes were a little crazy: "The Holy Land will protect your majesty's safety to the death."
"meaningless."
The Holy Emperor shook his head: "We have a very good relationship with Italos. Most of the time, this is a source of confidence, but in special times, this can also become a crisis.
Do you think
The Holy Land is what it is today. Was it Qin Weibai who forced us to this point? No.
What really put us, no, what put me in despair, was Italos.
Qin Weibai first forced Italus into a position where he had to compromise, and then used the power of Italus to put pressure on us.
Therefore, what Captain Sirol said was not a bluff, because they really felt the danger, so if we don't compromise, Italus will really cooperate with Qin Weibai to completely block the sanctuary. I will die alone, and the entire
When the Holy Realm is destroyed, you know who will be less important and who will be more important."
He paused for a moment and suddenly laughed again: "Of course, there is another possibility. Maybe my premonition was wrong?
After all... this is just a meeting. Maybe there are other options...
I'm a little scared, but until now, I still don't know what ability Qin Weibai has that can threaten my life...
I...heh...sanctuary...
Think about it, think about it carefully... I'll leave it to you... Go ahead... pick up Qin Weibai... I'll leave it to you..."
The smile on his face was bright and stiff, and his voice gradually became chaotic and trembling. The clear fear was conveyed from his expression and his eyes, and fell into the bishop's eyes, with a feeling that almost made him suffocate.
sense of depression.
Did the Holy Emperor's premonition of crisis seem to have gradually overwhelmed his reason, so much so that his thinking became confused?
He turned around slowly, slowed down his pace, moved little by little, and walked towards the door.
It was already 8:30 in the morning.
The Holy Emperor looked at the Bishop’s back
It got further and further away, and finally disappeared. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths in succession.
Then he stood up, picked up a remote control next to him and pressed it.
In the hall, the large screen that was originally black slowly lit up.
In the picture, Reinhardt, wearing a uniform with medals hanging on his chest, was sitting upright and looking at him.
This is not a temporary video chat.
In fact, before the bishop came here, the Holy Emperor was in contact with Reinhardt. When the bishop came in, the Holy Emperor just turned off the screen, but the communication did not hang up.
Reinhardt seemed to have watched all of this.
Of course, this is not what Reinhardt wanted to watch.
The Holy Emperor sat on the sofa again, looked at Reinhardt on the screen, and said calmly: "So, I shouldn't have hope for you, right?"
"terribly sorry."
Reinhardt's voice was low: "We have already negotiated with Italos, but the result is not very satisfactory."
The Holy Emperor smiled. There was no disappointment in his smile, nor was there any hint of anger or ridicule: "It seems that I am not valuable enough."
"In fact, the price we offered to Italos was high enough, but the other party didn't consider it at all. For them, the safety of Italos is more important than anything else."
Reinhardt was also a little helpless.
The Holy Emperor nodded slowly and said nothing more.
Reinhardt's communication was sent a few hours ago. It was midnight in Star Kingdom. After learning that he and Qin Weibai were about to meet, Reinhardt personally contacted the Holy Emperor.
The Holy Emperor, who was still hesitant at first, finally put aside his inner scruples when facing Reinhardt.
He took the initiative to make a condition. As long as Star Country can help him convince Italus not to meet Qin Weibai, then from now on, Sanctuary will unconditionally support Star Country and speak out from Star Country's standpoint.
.
This commitment can be said to be quite valuable.
The Star Kingdom also attaches great importance to this matter. Speaker Cade even personally called Italus to negotiate and promised a lot of benefits.
The advice given by Xingguo is to delay.
Three days.
Xingguo believes that it will only take three days at most for Jiang Shangyu to wake up and rush to Italus himself to solve all the problems.
But Italos refused without hesitation.
The reason they gave was simple: Qin Weibai couldn't wait three days.
Qin Weibai couldn't wait. Once she lost patience, Italos would face a huge disaster.
Any benefits promised by Star Nation have no weight in the face of such a disaster.
"I see."
The Holy Emperor nodded and suddenly said: "Jiang Shangyu, you still haven't woken up?"
Reinhardt hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Jiang's state is very strange, but this is a good thing for him.
His Majesty the Holy Emperor, we hope that you can delay enough time in your meeting with Qin Weibai, so that..."
"This is not something I can decide."
The Holy Emperor shook his head: "If I can really delay it for enough time, then Qin Weibai won't be so anxious to see me."
"However, according to our analysis, we do not think Qin Weibai will threaten your safety, and she does not seem to have such means."
Reinhardt spread his hands: "The greatest possibility is
She wants to negotiate with you and get something else."
"On the contrary, this is the most impossible thing."
The Holy Emperor shook his head: "Except for me, there is nothing in the Holy Land that is worthy of Qin Weibai taking such a big risk. You rejected my request for help. Now I have another premonition..."
The Holy Emperor looked straight at Reinhardt on the screen and said softly: "I think you will regret it."
