You are so beautiful when you are pitted by me [Quick wear]

in the palace.

As a wounded person who just woke up, Xiao Shu didn't get the slightest "sympathy" from the Pope, and was directly thrown on the magic ride and taken to the palace.

If he hadn't seen the eagerness of the pope in that miraculous state before, he might have been fooled by the pope's calm expression at this time.

The pope put on a bright robe with golden stripes, and the nobility in his gestures gave people a sense of inviolability.

If there is no red around the mouth.

Xiao Shu looked at the traces caused by man-made reasons, and smiled with his lips curled up. The surprised expressions of the servants beside him and their thought-quiet discussions made him feel even more happy.

"Based on my many years of experience, it's a hickey, that's right."

"Bah, bah, where's your experience? The pope can't marry a wife and have children. If you're unclean, you'll lose all your magic. How could there be hickeys?"

"Every time the second prince takes his female companion out, his female companion is like this. Her mouth is terribly red, and there is that small wound. Hey, most of the color on the pope's mouth has faded now. That's what it really looks like."

The other maid didn't quite agree, and the two argued a few more words, and when they saw Xiao Shu and the Pope walking in their direction, they quickly shut up and went about doing other things.

The somewhat absent-minded pope didn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, his expression remained the same, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.

There was a smile in Xiao Shu's eyes, his heart moved, he took a step forward, and stood side by side with the Pope.

"Your Majesty the Pope, Hisoka..." A woman's voice came from not far away, with a bit of cautious anticipation, even though she still had an air of grace, it was difficult to conceal the age of her face.

Not seeing people in life, not seeing corpses in death, it was her last hope.

The graceful woman in the past came in a hurry, with a bit of dejection, but there was a deep shadow under her eyes.

"Possessed by a monster, there is no chance of coming back." The pope glanced at the queen and replied lightly.

Xiao Shu raised his eyes to look at him in surprise, but met the queen's resentful eyes.

The little bit of hatred that was invisible in the past is not concealed at this moment, even the Pope can clearly feel it.

The light magic fluctuated faintly in the air, with a bit of strong force, but quickly receded due to Xiao Shu's movements.

"Don't worry about it." Xiao Shu calmed the Pope's emotions in a low voice, subconsciously obeyed his own will, stretched out his hand and squeezed the Pope's palm as a sign of comfort.

Feeling that the cold and moist hand did not break free, but let him hold it, the smile on Xiao Shu's face softened even more.

And all this and the handshake between the two, in the eyes of the queen, it became an act of deliberately provoking her.

"Your Majesty, Hisoka is still the prince of our empire. Even if you are the one chosen by God, you shouldn't disrespect our royal family, right? With your light magic, what monsters can't be driven out? And why not? Save my child?" The queen tried her best to maintain a calm tone, but her face gradually showed uncontrollable hatred, "Isn't it because of a personal relationship that you deliberately didn't save it?"

The blush on the pope's ears faded quickly, and Xiao Shu felt the slight movement of his palm, so he let go of the pope and took a step back.

He heard His Majesty the Pope say this, without the slightest superficial arrogance, and he said: "The temple, why do you need to give your royal family face?"

This sentence did not mention the expulsion of monsters at all, and there was a faint acquiescence to the meaning of the queen's words.

Xiao Shu looked at the woman who had always been calm and indifferent with pity, her complexion turned pale, her eyes became even more watery, and she almost couldn't stand upright.

He obviously hated it, but didn't say anything.

There was a trace of doubt in Xiao Shu's eyes, but his question was quickly answered.

"Your Majesty the Pope." The man's voice was somewhat weak, but it did not reduce his majesty. His facial features were eighty percent similar to Xiao Shu's, but he was a little more serious because of his majesty.

"Your Majesty." The Pope nodded and signaled, the emotion in his eyes only flashed for a moment and then disappeared. He tugged on Xiao Shu's sleeve and pushed him secretly.

Xiao Shu glanced at the king in front of him who could only come back after a narrow escape, sighed helplessly, bowed forward to salute, and respectfully called out: "Your Majesty."

The queen snorted lightly, but the king seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, a trace of tiredness flashed in his eyes, he moved his lips, and in the end he didn't say anything to Xiao Shu, but turned to look at the pope, and said slowly: " Your Majesty the Pope, is there any solution?"

"...The power of dark magic has already affected the palace. Magicians with low ranks can no longer even use light magic. Can His Majesty perform a ceremony to summon the goddess of light..."

"This is impossible." The Pope raised his eyes, "God's will is to let things go, and new species will appear after new baptisms."

Seeing the king's eyes dimming, he added, "But if you ask me, I do have a plan."

"Can you explain clearly?" The king's eyes brightened, and his attitude became a little more respectful.

"This plan only needs me alone, but you need to prepare something for me." The Pope threw out a list, and there were many dense herbal magic items listed.

The king agreed without looking at it: "Okay, I will be ready to do it."

"Then go back and wait for my good news." The Pope smiled lightly, and he seemed to be sure of this matter on his usually non-smiling face, which made people unconsciously feel trust in his heart.

"Okay, okay, okay." The king's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said three good words, "I just came back from the border guards, and these herbs are mainly near the Ice Kingdom, and it may take some time to pick them. But I have been promoted to the level of Martial Emperor, and within two days, I will definitely be able to find it for you."

I don't know what came to mind, and the king added hesitantly: "If Mr. Pope is free now, can you purify the palace around and eliminate the dark magic?..."

"My honor." Before he could explain, the pope agreed lightly, but secretly took Xiao Shu's hand.

Xiao Shu, who wanted to leave secretly, gave up leaving because of the pope's initiative and a little force in his actions, and followed the two to purify.

They stopped and went, Xiao Shu watched the pope illuminate those dark corners with light magic bit by bit, eliminating the remnants of dark magic. At the same time, he also looked at the lord of a country, hesitating whether to go forward.

"Your Majesty, what's on your mind?" Xiao Shu said lightly, interrupting the king's entanglement, looking at the flattered expression on the other side, he felt a little funny in his heart.

"That is to worry about the invasion of monsters and the corruption of the entire continent by dark magic." The man answered subconsciously.

Xiao Shu said "Oh" to make it clear, and was about to leave, but he heard someone behind him ask, "Everywhere is not safe now, do you have any family members away?"

Xiao Shu's eyes darkened, and he replied, "Mother is away."

"You can take her to live in the palace, no, take her to live in the temple, it's still much safer than outside." There was some haste in the man's words, and finally realized his gaffe and hurried to adjust.

"The Eastern Continent where my mother lives is the safest place. The people there are naturally gifted in magic and have the strongest immunity to magic. It is a place that will never be affected." Xiao Shu smiled and refused.

The king nodded and responded softly: "That's it."

Seeing that the king was lost in thought again, Xiao Shu turned his eyes back to the Pope in front of him. The Pope surrounded by golden light spots was sacred and inviolable, possessing the magical power to make people submit.

"Do you like men?..."

It seemed that there was a voice coming from the side, but Xiao Shu didn't hear it clearly, so he asked subconsciously, "Huh? What?"

The king looked at him, then at the pope in front of him, and sighed softly: "No, it's nothing."

The pope walked slowly, and he had already attracted Xiao Shu's full attention, preventing him from seeing the complicated expression on the king's face.

The journey back to the temple is the most impressive memory of Xiao Shu, and it will remain so until a long, long time later.

Even though the entire continent has been turned into a mess, the Pope's expression is still soft, even warm.

His hand touched Xiao Shu's, with a smile in his eyes, he said slowly: "I have nothing to teach you, and you don't need to call me a teacher in the future, just call me Rong Yan."

"I'm also from the Eastern Continent, so I can have such a powerful magical talent."

"My family is the Rong family. It's not well-known in the Eastern Continent, but it's not bad. Our Rong family has some innate talents for light magic. Even if we don't meditate, we can naturally accumulate light." The power of magic."

……

His Excellency the Pope, who has always spoken little, said a lot, and the expression on his face became much more vivid.

This is Xiao Shu's feeling that he has learned everything about the Pope the closest.

Perhaps because of this, he ignored many details that he would never ignore in normal times, and in the future, he deeply regretted it.

But at least, at this time, he was still very happy with such an opportunity, listening to the Pope slowly confiding, and he was qualified to call him by his name.

Rong Yan, Rong Yan.

Just chanting these two words, it seemed as if he saw a lot of warmth and happiness that did not exist in Xiao Shu's memory.

Without thinking about it, Xiao Shu could guess that one of the two people in the picture was him, and the other was the Pope.

And the Pope obviously knew all this earlier than him.

Xiao Shu thought for a long time before he felt the icy coldness on his forehead.

"Xiao Shu." His Majesty the Pope waved his hand very childishly, the sleeves of his golden robe were rolled up high, looking a little funny.

Xiao Shu didn't laugh, but was attracted by the exposed white arm.

"Ok?"

"You are my raised child." The Pope said suddenly.

Shocked and helpless by such a childish opening, Xiao Shu froze for a moment before responding: "?? Mmm, teacher."

"Huh?" The Pope raised his eyebrows.

"...um...Rong Yan." Xiao Shu responded helplessly.

"So you are mine"

The pope's voice was like a child who got sugar, without the usual noble and glamorous, but Xiao Shu was not at all strange, but like a pope who had long been accustomed to this kind of pope deep in his memory.

He followed the Pope's words on a whim: "Well, I'm yours."

"no matter what."

"Well, anyway."
