Chapter 504 Powerful Clarence!

Some cafe on the corner.

A man in a windbreaker pushed the door open and walked straight to the window in the corner.

The man sitting on the seat stood up and smiled, "Long time no see, Your Honorable Pope."

"A cup of snow country wind." Clarence ignored this person, but asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.

The man didn't mind, and sat back on his seat, tapping his fingers on the table lightly: "You haven't changed at all."

Claude's face was calm: "You have changed a lot, Patriarch Luosong."

Patriarch Luo Song!

This man is actually the patriarch of the former Ross family, Luo Song!

Hela's charming face was full of disbelief.

This guy actually survived and escaped from Ross City?

"Rott is not dead, how can this old fox die?" Old Dirk seemed to see through Hela's thoughts, and smiled kindly: "Not only is he not dead, but he has also broken through to the sixth level. I think, this is He has the confidence to sit here today."

"Sixth level?" Hila's beautiful eyes filled with shock, "He's also sixth level?"

After finishing speaking, she immediately realized that her voice was too loud, she quickly covered her mouth, and glanced at Claren with a guilty conscience.

"It's okay, if they can't hear, we can just talk normally." Qingdi smiled lightly.

The table they were sitting at was actually only less than 20 meters away from Clarence, but as long as Emperor Qing didn't want these two people to hear them talking, it was impossible for these two people to hear a word. Even... In the eyes of Clarence and Luo Song, this table does not exist at all. Otherwise, with the eyes of the Pope, how could he not recognize old Dirk?

The conversation between the two is still going on.

Hearing that the Pope said that he had changed, Luo Song didn't deny it. He smiled lightly: "The Pope's demeanor is indeed admirable. If I were to change places, I would definitely not be able to be as calm as you."

Yes, after retreating for so long, I finally broke through to the sixth level, but at this time, a person who was not very eye-catching, whose cultivation base is not as good as yours, and whose talent is also worse than yours suddenly appears in front of you. He is also at the sixth level. Can you not be angry?
In this society where military power is paramount, someone whose strength can threaten the Pope means that the Church of Mara has the possibility of changing its dynasty. Under such circumstances, it is really not easy for Claude to keep his face unchanged.

Therefore, Luo Song's words were not completely flattering, and he admired the Pope more or less in his heart.

"I think you may have misunderstood me, Patriarch Luosong." Clarence took the coffee brought by the waiter, slowly tore open a bag of sugar and added it, "I said change, not yours. Cultivation, but your ambition."

Luo Song was noncommittal: "Everyone has ambitions, don't they?"

"I'm different from you." After saying this, Clarence suddenly lost interest, and he shook his head, "It's really tiring to chat with you, Patriarch Luosong, please be straightforward. Speak."

Tsk, you've only said a few words, and you're tired?
"The Pope is the Pope after all, and he doesn't use dirty words when swearing." Luo Song didn't seem to be angry at Claren's ridicule. He looked at the coffee in the latter's cup and said, "The wind of the snow country tastes similar to ordinary coffee. , but the color is as white as snow, so it has always been considered a heresy in coffee.”

Rosen used the word "heresy".

Claude raised his eyelids: "What do you want to express?"

"As far as I know, the Pope doesn't seem to like drinking coffee very much," Luo Song said.

Yes, the pope doesn't like coffee, but anyone who's even gotten to know him at all knows that.

However, Clarence still ordered a cup of coffee, and it was a heretic in coffee, the wind of snow country.

The meaning of this could not be more obvious.

In the eyes of the pope, Luo Song and his Ross family are as heretics as the Wind of Snow Country.

"I take back what I just said, you are a little smarter than I thought." Clarence said.

He breathed lightly on the hot coffee, which is the rhythm of starting to drink this cup of snow country wind.

"My lord Pope, since you don't like it, why do you force yourself?" Luo Song said meaningfully, "We have a common enemy, as it is now, and it will be the same in the future. You and I have only just broken through the sixth level. The road is far from over."

"A common enemy?" Clarence held the cup and looked out the window. His eyes seemed to see the outline of Knight City through the clouds and mist. "Are you talking about Su Mu, or Shiva?"

Is it Su Mu or Shiva?
Obviously, the Pope, who had been in seclusion for a long time, was not ignorant of what was happening outside.

Even the information he possessed may be far more comprehensive and detailed than anyone imagined.

"Being able to say these two names...Frankly speaking, you surprised me." Luo Song's expression was slightly abnormal.

"That's why I said, I'm different from you." Clarence said flatly, "You have enmity with them, but I don't. You want to dominate Bluestar, but I don't."

"It doesn't matter." Luo Song looked directly into the Pope's eyes, "Whether there is hatred or not, you will find a way to get rid of them, won't you?"

"It's just a different position." Clarence didn't deny it.

"My lord pope, there is absolutely no need for you to decorate yourself with so-called righteousness in front of me." Luo Song showed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "But who doesn't know that you, Claren, have a heart that wants to control everything?" For this reason, you even sacrificed your status 20 years ago to take action against a few children..."

"I never thought the Pope was so noble." Clarence interrupted, "Also, I don't think that children should be forgiven for making mistakes. In my eyes, no matter who they are, they must do it for themselves. Be responsible for your actions, since you choose to do something, you must be prepared to bear all the consequences."

"Patriarch Luosong..." Clarence paused, "You are the same."

The pope's tone was always so flat, but these words fell into Luo Song's ears, but made the latter hear an unquestionable taste.

In the incident 20 years ago, Clarence was indeed making use of the problem, but in the final analysis, it was Hoshino and the others who gave Clarence the opportunity to make use of the problem.

Once hailed as the most powerful team of geniuses in the history of the Mara Church, it fell apart because of the affair with other races. Now, the Ross family, which has a history of more than a hundred years, will also follow in the footsteps of this team.

Even, compared to Hoshinoho and others, the Ross family is more unforgivable.

"Patriarch Luo Song, you are the same."——This sentence is undoubtedly equivalent to the death sentence of the entire Ross family!
Luo Song took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, do we have nothing to talk about?"

If he could, he really didn't want to be an enemy of the Church right now.

Luo Song didn't think this way before, but due to the situation, he had to make some compromised choices.

"Patriarch Luosong, I think you made a mistake." Clarence said very directly, "We were not talking from the beginning, even, I promised to meet you today, the original purpose was to make you completely Disappearing in this world, unfortunately, your cultivation is a little bit beyond my expectations, which makes me have to push back this idea. The reason why I talked to you so much just now is purely to express The respect for your cultivation is nothing more than that, you don't need to take any chances."

The pope seemed not at all afraid that saying this would anger Luo Song, which would cause the other party to do something irrational.

"Patriarch Luosong, from this moment on, the former Ross family, which is now the Wilson family, including your brainwashed children, will all be included in the church's red list." Clarence's eyes are as deep as an ancient well, "Those People who come out of Shengkai City, no matter men or women, no matter how old or young, the church will kill every one they see, and it will never be tolerated."

Never tolerate!

When he said this, an extremely powerful aura burst out from Clarence's body.

This aura has no killing intent, but it is more oppressive than killing intent, like endless sea water, almost suffocating.

Luo Song's face suddenly became extremely ugly, "Your Excellency, you may not be my opponent."

"You think too highly of yourself." Clarence said flatly, "You will never win against me. At most, it's just a little trouble for me to kill you now."

This is Clarence's confidence in his own strength, and it is also an undoubted fact!

As the pope, how can his methods be compared to the patriarch of a mere family?
However, having said that, Clarence still withdrew his momentum, "If I were you, I would gather all the clansmen now, hurry up and escape from this continent, and will not leave the church with a chance to hunt across the country, I personally I think Tingye Church is a good place to go, anyway, your masters have already escaped there, haven't they?"

Master has fled to Tingye Church?
The amount of information exposed in this sentence is not insignificant!
This time, Luo Song's face completely darkened.

Originally, when Claren said the name Shiva, Luo Song decided to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

From Luo Song's point of view, since Claren knew Shiva, he must be aware of Shiva's strength.

An ancient god from Heidelin, the seventh rank, is enough to frighten the pope and his church.

However, he still underestimated Clarence, who knew much more than he imagined!

Even the old Deke couldn't react for a while when he heard this: "Shiva ran away?"

"Well, I was thrown to the other side of the dark sea by someone who doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade." Qingdi seemed to think of something interesting, and smiled lightly.

Two days ago, Shiva healed his wounds. Seeing that the golden dragon above the city of Shengkai still had no intention of dissipating, he passed the light of ether to the depths of the northern ice field.

That is the lair of the Ice Spirit Clan.

Speaking of which, Qingdi made some mistakes. He didn't know that there was such a thing as the light of ether, and he didn't expect that Shiva could leave Shengkai City in this way.

However, although Emperor Qing didn't expect Shiva to run away, someone calculated it with a magic trick.

This person is called Zhuge Yuankong.

Zhuge Yuankong's own strength is not considered strong. Although his realm is a level higher than Shiva's, he is really not good at fighting.

Everyone in the Xinggong Chenyi Club is like this, since the last time Zhuge Nan was 1-on-1 with Su Mu, he rolled himself out of the field with a Fengshen leg.

Although Zhuge Yuankong would not lose to Shiva, it was quite difficult to capture him alive. Therefore, this old man who wore black and white Taoist robes all year round specially called Yixuan to wait for the rabbit with him.

Yixuan is the ancestor of the sword, no one on the mountain is better at fighting than him, the title of number one in the world is not for nothing.

Thus, the two tore through the void and went to the depths of the ice field ahead of schedule.

At that time, the little ice spirits who looked like sea urchins were carrying ether crystals.

Zhuge Yuankong took out two phantom talismans, and despite Yixuan's strong opposition, he insisted on turning himself and Jian Zu into little ice spirits.

They chatted happily with these little ice spirits all afternoon, and almost asked about Shiva's past relationship history!

Well, if Shiva ever had a relationship.

In the evening, Shiva "comes as promised".

Lord Ice God intends to hide in the extreme arctic ice field for a while before going out.

That man gave her a terrible feeling, and she was limited by her spiritual body, and she couldn't improve her cultivation. It was impossible to beat him in this life, so she could only choose to avoid the edge temporarily.

However, Shiva didn't expect that when he came back, he would meet a human being who was even more handsome than that handsome man... Bah, even more terrifying!

Yixuan was suffocated by Zhuge Yuankong's bad taste at that time, seeing Shiva finally came, he immediately changed back to human form.

The group of little ice spirits were dumbfounded, and the ice thorns on their bodies "stared" a bit in a very humane way.

Afterwards, Yixuan tore open a hole in the void with one hand, and with a light stroke with the other hand, Shiva and the little ice spirits were all sucked in.

At the same time, a gap opened in the sky of the Lightless Sea, and the Ice Spirit Clan and their patron saints fell onto the beach one by one...

Yixuan's idea is actually very simple, since you can't trap you, then you won't be trapped, simply let you live in another place, to harm those who deserve to be harmed, and when those little guys grow up, let them go by themselves Find Shiva to settle accounts.

As for Shiva himself... No, this god, after being beaten up by two humans one after another, has no power to fight back, and has already begun to doubt his own divine birth.

Su Mu probably never dreamed that one day he would run into Shiva in the territory of Tingye Church.

Similarly, Luo Song didn't know about these things. The patriarch of the Wilson family only knew that Shiva had gone back to the Arctic Ice Field, and he probably wouldn't be back in a short time.

This clearly means running away.

However, not only was Luo Song not angry about this, but he was also relieved.

He has never been willing to be inferior to others, it was the same when he was working with aliens before, and it is the same when he is working with Shiva now.

Shiva has almost refined the entire population of Sankai City into her disciples, but the Wilson family has not.

After all, they had always been well-behaved and listened to Shiva.

Shiva's departure is equivalent to giving the Wilson family a chance to breathe.

With no one watching over their heads, they can seize the time to improve their strength.

It's just that Shengkai City is covered by the giant dragon, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

At that time, the teleportation platform of the same plane that had been popularized by the church had not yet had time to be installed in the city of Shengkai. They only had the light of ether as a means of transportation, and those with insufficient spiritual power could not use it.

This can be regarded as directly poking a big hole in Luo Song's previous dream of establishing the "Ross Empire".

Among other things, the transportation of materials alone can slow down the development of the Wilson family.

Therefore, after Luo Song got the news from the Military Research Department that the Pope was about to return, he immediately made an appointment with him in Shengya City.

This is the closest city to the Pope's retreat. No matter where the latter plans to go next, he will definitely come to Shengya City first-only Shengya City has an airport nearby. His Majesty the Pope can't fly by himself. Are you going on your way?
For Clarence, this is a drop-in meeting, and he will most likely not refuse.

And it was true, Claude came to the appointment, even on time.

However, the result of this conversation was completely different from what Luo Song thought.

"Your Excellency the Pope, I hope you can take back what you just said." Luo Song said in a deep voice.

What he wants is not a red list, but the church and the city of St. Kai to support each other and coexist peacefully. There is me in you, and you in me...

After driving those gods out of Blue Star, it won't be too late for everyone to compete again.

I have to say that this idea is a bit too good.

Luo Song directly revealed his ambition, clearly telling Clarence that he is a white-eyed wolf, which is simply Jiang Taigong's fishing version of raising tigers.

However, at first glance, there is indeed a sense of profound righteousness in it, abandoning personal grievances and jointly resisting foreign enemies.

From Luo Song's point of view, he is already a big boss at the Qiong level, a super strong man that only existed in history, and he has the confidence and qualifications to put everything on the table like this.

It's just that Luo Song ignored a problem.

He is indeed at the sixth level now, yes, he can probably compete with the Pope, but the Wilson family he represents is not on the same level as the entire church. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a world of difference. .

Negotiations by big bosses are all about conspiracy, and Luo Song is quite measured in this aspect, but it's a pity that the Wilson family has no qualifications to negotiate with the church at all.

There is me in you, you in me... If these words were spoken by old Dirk, maybe Claude would still consider them.

And the Ross family...

What is that?
Luo Song has always believed that the Pope of the Church of Mara is a person who can do anything for power.

Judging from Clarence's past behavior style, this judgment seems to be correct. In the church, at least 90% of the people think so. This is also the most important reason for Luo Song to think that this negotiation can be successful. s reason.

After all, with him as a sixth-tier thug, Clauren didn't need to do a lot of dirty work himself. The latter can not only quickly unify the major forces of the church, but also preserve his reputation to the greatest extent.

It sounds like it really is a matter of mutual benefit.

However, is Claude someone who cares about his reputation?

Is the Unification Church really for their own selfish desires?

No one knows the answer to this question, just like no one knows whether the pope has a bottom line in doing things.

It is not that there are no people in this world who can clearly see the essence of the Pope, but this person will definitely not be Luo Song.

The patriarch of the Wilson family, or the lord of Sankai City, he couldn't even see a junior in his own family, so how could he see the Pope clearly?

"Luo Song, in fact, you should thank Su Mu very much." Clarence didn't answer Luo Song directly, but suddenly said something irrelevant.

"Thank you Su Mu?" Luo Song sneered, "Thank him for asking Old Deke to kill Luo Zhong, and then lead the Council of Saints to wipe out my city of Ross?"

"It's true if you really want to say that." Clarence rubbed his finger on the coffee cup, "If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be alive today, let alone realize your dream of founding a nation. Luo Song, I remember A long time ago, I told the patriarchs of your families that getting along with people of other races is a very dangerous thing, but you don't seem to take my words to heart."

"Opportunities and risks coexist. There has never been a free lunch in the world. Doesn't His Excellency understand such a simple truth?" Luo Song said coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you that if it wasn't for Su Mu, I could also borrow Get rid of that group of aliens by the hands of the Holy Council, and today, before you leave the customs, at least one-third of the city of Mara Church has become a vassal of the Holy City. At that time, as long as I want, I can Overthrow your rule. So, you should thank Su Mu for being you, not me, and you should be thankful that he destroyed my plan and didn't let this happen."

Fortunately, Su Mu ruined Luo Song's plan?

"Patriarch Luosong, I think you misunderstood what I mean. When I said that getting along with aliens is very dangerous, I didn't mean what they would do to you. On the contrary, I really believe that you have the ability to deal with that group of aliens. ’” said Crowley.

This statement may sound contradictory.

Since Luo Song can solve the aliens by himself, why should he thank Su Mu?

"Patriarch Luosong, I don't think you may have figured it out until now, why the church is willing to spend money to support you patriarchs to build towns in the fringe areas?" Klauren said softly, "You think the church wants you to help resist Beast hordes, fight against anti-invasion, or give you a wider space for development, so as to add a force to defend the country for the blue star humans... These are actually correct, but not comprehensive enough, because for me, There is a more important purpose to do this, in case there is a problem between any of your families, I can guarantee that the church will not hurt innocent people."

Luo Song frowned: "What do you mean?"

"When you provide convenience to aliens and allow them to change the skin of my people, you should consider your own end."

Clarence revealed a shocking secret in an understatement!

"There are a total of 23 military bases on this continent, and the strike range covers the entire continent, and the small towns of your families each have their own weapons in the military bases."

"The locking procedures for these weapons were already ready when you built the city. I just need to give a simple order, and your Ross City will be reduced to ruins within 10 minutes."

"As for you, Patriarch Luo Song, you have no chance of escaping. If the Council of Saints hadn't gone that day, you and your clansmen would have been annihilated in the splendid artillery fire, leaving no bones left."

Luo Song hoped that Clauren would take back the previous sanction order against Sankai City, and the latter answered his question with something that should have happened but didn't happen.

From the moment he joined forces with the aliens, the fate of Rose's family was already doomed!
This is the attitude of the Pope, and the attitude of the whole Church!

After saying this, Clarence seemed a little thirsty, and drank the Snow Country Breeze that he had held in his hand for half an hour in one go. Then, he looked at the foam left in the cup and said, "I really Don't like this taste, life itself is bitter enough, why not try to give yourself a taste of sweetness?"

"Anyway, anyway, thank you for the coffee."

At the end of the conversation, His Majesty the Pope did not forget to make a mockery of Luo Song.

Well, you invited me to drink the Wind of the Snow Country, and you asked for all of this.

"Let's do it for ourselves, Patriarch Luo Song. If you really feel that you have nowhere to go, you might as well consider my previous suggestion. Tingye Church is a good place to go. With her protection, at least I can't touch you."

After speaking, Clarence put down the cup, got up and left the coffee shop.
