Chapter Three Hundred and Six: The Cooperation of the Two Majesties
Candlelight flickers in the darkness, this is an almost spacious hall.
The dim light of the candle flickered slightly, and where the light gathered, a brand-new statue stood there, bathed in the subtle light, looking at the surrounding darkness with a compassionate face.
An old man in white robes knelt in front of the statue and prayed devoutly.
The darkness was deep, the candlelight was weak, the prayers were silent, and the entire hall seemed to have completely solidified.
The windows in the hall are open.
A clear but extremely weird sound of waves came over, with the sound of countless broken ice crashing together. The ice wind from the depths of the Arctic Ocean roared into the hall, the candlelight began to tremble, the light and shadow in the lobby continued to turbulence, and the entire hall seemed to be filled with
There was an uneasy atmosphere.
The idol is still compassionate.
The old man remained silent.
Mered looked at the old man in front of the statue, his expression was calm, but his heart was beating faster and faster.
Another gust of icy wind roared past, as sharp as a knife.
The curtains in the hall were blown up, and amidst the shrill sound of the wind, the candlelight in the hall began to spread.
The weak flame seemed to burn out of thin air, and bits and pieces of light scattered in every corner of the hall, extremely soft.
The old man opened his eyes, and his voice was strangely soft and low: "God's eyes are watching here, and the light is about to come."
He raised his hand slightly.
The candles in the entire hall burned more and more vigorously, and the dim yellow light brought by countless remaining candles gradually turned into white, so pure that it was almost dazzling.
"But these are all fake."
Mered looked at the old man in front of him and said calmly.
"Everything created by God is naturally true."
The old man said with a smile.
Mered's body tensed up, as if facing a powerful enemy.
In the entire Holy See, only one person is qualified to wear a white robe, and only one person is qualified to wear a white skirt.
The latter is a saint.
The former is the Pope.
Only the Pope.
No one could have imagined that after having no choice but to withdraw from Leki City, the already distressed Holy See did not withdraw from Eastern Europe. Instead, the Pope came in person. Obviously, the Pope was not willing to give up the interests of Eastern Europe.
"who are you?"
The Pope walked casually in the vast hall, and his tone was also casual: "Melaide, I need an explanation for all this. If nothing unexpected happens, after Eastern Europe, you will have many choices, such as continuing to stay in the Legion of Holy Inquisition,
I will give you more autonomy, and I even want you to go to the Temple to serve as the new Grand Knight Commander, or to stay in Eastern Europe and be the spokesperson of the Holy See in Eastern Europe."
The Pope said calmly: "I thought about many possibilities, all about you. I dared to use you, but I didn't expect that you gave me such a big surprise."
He paused and continued: "Who are you?"
"Your Majesty the Pope, does it really matter who I am? What's important is that I saved Aresis' life."
Merled said quietly that on the night of Judgment Day, he saved Aresis under the most unlikely circumstances, and his hidden strength was completely exposed. This news could not be concealed at all, but Merled finally revealed it.
Aresis brought back the secret base of the Holy See. For him, the exposure of his identity was no longer a big deal. The most important thing was that with the exposure of his identity, some quietly changed plans must be executed by him.
For example, convince the Pope.
"In fact, if you didn't hide your strength, the situation might not be what it is now if you join forces with Aresis."
The pope said pleasantly: "You betrayed the glory of God and brought huge losses to the Holy See. Why?"
Mered was silent for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Betrayal is a sin."
The Pope said slowly: "But God is merciful and will forgive your sins and allow you to enter the Kingdom of God. Go and repent, Mered."
In the flickering candlelight, he snapped his fingers.
An extremely huge crisis suddenly emerged
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The bottom enveloped Mered.
Mortal danger pounced from all directions.
He subconsciously started to retreat.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
An almost crazy roar suddenly cut through the night.
The whole palace suddenly shook with the roar.
All the light in the hall was instantly shattered.
Mered suddenly opened his eyes.
The Pope stood not far from him.
The dots of candlelight are still there, but they are much smaller.
And he was already kneeling in front of the statue, holding a steel knife and cutting open the skin on his chest.
Blood flowed down.
Mered only needs to exert a little more strength, and he can pierce his own heart with his own hands.
In an instant, Mered broke into a cold sweat.
After the Day of Judgment, Mered and Aresis immediately entered the Holy See's secret base in Leki City.
The Pope immediately prayed.
This time, the prayer was not for an hour, not for a day, but for several days and nights. Even when other members of the Holy See officially left Lechi City, the Pope did not move.
The prayer continued until just now.
After the prayer, the pope was not weak, but his energy and spirit had completely reached its peak. In his spiritual realm, as long as he thought about it, Mered was in danger every step of the way, and he didn't even have the ability to fight back.
Is this the state of transcendence?
Mered's breathing was rapid, and the fear of wandering on the edge of life and death turned into extreme anger in an instant.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the Pope, and said in a ferocious voice: "His Majesty the Pope, you want to kill me? How dare you kill me?!"
"It's you who need to repent."
The pope's voice was gentle and calm.
"Okay, confession, with my own life?"
Mered laughed loudly: "What now? I'm still alive and you couldn't kill me."
"This is God's will."
The Pope spoke slowly: "God has given you life, you should thank God."
Mered stared at the Pope.
Sweat and blood were constantly flowing from his body.
The Pope looked at Mered quietly, his eyes bottomless.
After an unknown amount of time, Mered took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and made the sign of the cross on his chest.
The Pope smiled with satisfaction.
"I like your current attitude."
He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip: "God created all things, and everyone must remain in awe before the great glory."
He poured another glass of water and handed it to Mered: "So, who are you?"
Mered looked at the glass of water and didn't dare to take it for a while.
In the Pope's spiritual realm, even a master who is infinitely close to the peak of invincibility still dare not be sure of his current state, let alone believe his own perception.
What he saw in his sight was the water handed to him by the Pope, but who knew what it was?
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter who I am."
"I want to know your identity, but you refuse to answer. This is arrogance."
The Pope said in a gentle tone.
Arrogance is a sin.
Mered hesitated and said slowly: "I am a disciple."
The Pope's body suddenly stiffened for a moment.
The surrounding candlelight seemed to be shaking slightly.
"disciple?"
His tone was a little stunned: "Whose disciple?"
"Of course he is His Majesty's disciple."
Mered said calmly: "Your Majesty the Pope, I came back this time and brought back His Highness Aresis to show our sincerity. Our Majesty wants to cooperate with the Holy See and seek the overall situation of Eastern Europe."
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty."
The Pope repeated twice and took a deep look at Mered: "Who is your Majesty?"
The Dark World
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There are only two people who recognize His Majesty.
Sword Emperor Wang Tianzong.
And there is the Pope.
And the His Majesty behind Mered now is obviously not Wang Tianzong.
"I have no idea."
The disciple replied calmly.
The Pope narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Can I understand that you betrayed the Holy See, and the person who asked you to betray the Holy See, your real master, you don't even know who he is?"
"It does not matter."
Mered said calmly: "I don't care what his identity is, but he can give me what I want."
"what do you want?"
The Pope suddenly asked seriously.
Mered smiled self-deprecatingly: "What I want, the Holy See cannot give me."
The Pope fell silent.
"I can't believe in this kind of cooperation."
The Pope was silent for a long time and then said calmly: "But I don't mind you telling me what I can gain by cooperating with His Majesty."
"What you can get depends on what you want to get and what you are willing to pay."
Mered said meaningfully.
The Pope smiled and said calmly: "I am not willing to give anything before I have a complete plan, but you can try to convince me and use your life."
The meaning of this statement is obvious.
Mered is in the Pope's territory and can only be at the mercy of the Pope. If cooperation fails today, Mered will naturally not be able to survive.
Mered thought about it seriously and said calmly: "Your Majesty can grant you the divine power that the Holy See has always wanted."
He said calmly: "The theocratic power of the entire Eastern Europe and the Eastern religion have been destroyed. The faith of all the people in the Snow Kingdom and even the five Eastern European countries can be given to you."
"Given?"
The Pope laughed, and his laughter was extremely cold: "How arrogant. There is no great God in this world, and no one is qualified to give me anything."
"Then change the word."
Mered said casually: "Trade, the divine power you want most, your Majesty can trade it to you."
The Pope leaned on the sofa and said slowly: "Why does His Majesty think he can give me these things?"
He looked at Meredith and said meaningfully: "The five Eastern European countries are Li Tianlan's world."
"So far, no one can deny this."
Mered nodded: "The five Eastern European countries do belong to Li Tianlan, but sometimes, during sensitive periods, the direction of the five Eastern European countries is determined by Zhongzhou."
"Zhongzhou..."
The Pope murmured to himself, thoughtfully.
"As for the Snow Country, the Holy See's roots in the Snow Country are basically very deep. When the situation is decided, Your Majesty will naturally work from behind to ensure that the entire Holy See has unimpeded access to the Snow Country."
Mered continued.
The Pope looked at Mered, his eyes becoming calmer.
Mered hesitated and said slowly: "His Majesty the Pope, if you agree to cooperate with us, we can show enough sincerity now."
"Sincerity?"
The corners of the pope's lips raised slightly: "For example?"
"Polar Alliance."
Mered said calmly: "If you have your original intention, the entire Polar Alliance will be our sincerity to the Holy See."
The Pope's body shook violently for a moment.
"If that's your intention, maybe we should change places now."
Mered said calmly.
"Where?"
The Pope narrowed his eyes and finally became serious.
"Moormans."
The Pope lowered his head, thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "If we can cooperate, what do you want?"
In the darkness, Mered smiled with his teeth bared. He looked at the Pope and calmly made his request: "We want the Knights Templar."
