Tyrant Code

The Pope finally managed to attract Gordon's attention.

Hearing the person in front of him mention his "mother", Gordo's eyes were fixed, and he raised his head indifferently.

"It seems that His Excellency the Pope knows a lot." Goldo said lightly, "This trip... I really have to go."

"Gordo." Atricia stretched out her hand and warned him in a low voice.

Goldo smiled and shook his head, leaned close to Attica's ear and whispered something to him: "You can go out of the city with Demont first. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

Anyway, he is also a mage with dual cultivation, he still has the means to save his life.

Although Atricia expressed disapproval on his face, he glanced at Ryan, who was still trembling, and finally reluctantly moved sideways to make way—he understood Gordo's character, so he rushed to Hein without saying anything else. Ci is still in the hands of the Pope. Even though he knew that this invitation was a grand banquet, Goldo would still fall into it without hesitation.

De Monte wanted to do something else to persuade Gordo to go with him, but Atricia grabbed his collar by the collar with a cold expression: "You, hurry up and lead the way, we have to meet up with the Templars as soon as possible."

De Monte: "..."

Although he wished to cut off all the fingers that Atricia touched him, but now that the situation is special, Demont did not entangle with Atricia, and did as he said with a calm face—they The carriage passed by the frame of the Pope's Hall, and disappeared into the night in a short while.

"Please also get in the car." The pope's subordinates said so.

Gordon didn't say much, and stepped into the carriage as he wished.Almost at the same time as he sat firmly, a large number of sergeants arrived with the noise of horseshoes.

"This is the Royal Capital Inspection Team - we are hunting down the important criminals, everyone in the car get off me!"

Gordo lowered his eyes and heard the people outside replying calmly: "Forgive me. I haven't seen any criminals, and you have no right to forcibly inspect the frame of the Pope's Hall."

As soon as the words "Pope's Hall" came out, the officers of the inspection team got stuck.Gordon listened to the voices outside and was silent for a long time. It must be that the leading officer was wondering whether he should offend the people in the Pope's Hall in this kind of place with a pale face.

"...This is indeed the carriage frame of the Pope's Hall. But why did it appear here?" the officer asked a little unwillingly.

The pope's subordinates still stopped indifferently: "This is not something you should ask."

Immediately afterwards, there was another short but long silence.Gordo faintly heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed.Just when he thought that he would not be able to pass this level, the leading officer suddenly spoke, but his tone sounded a little gritted: "...Okay. Since it is the carriage frame of the Pope's Hall, there must be no escaped prisoners hiding It's inside. I just hope that next time His Excellency the Pope's carriage will stop dangling on the remote streets of the capital in the middle of the night... Otherwise, it would be bad if people suspect him of having ulterior motives."

It appears that the officer also knew about the conflict between the king and the pope.Although he didn't dare to openly fight with the people in the Pope's Hall, his words were barbed and eccentric.

"... Spread out. Let the people in the Pope's Hall go! Everyone follow me, keep chasing!"

The pursuers gradually moved away.

After about a few minutes, the sound of horseshoes could not be heard at all, and the carriage moved slowly and drove towards the direction of the Pope's Hall.

*

This is the first time Gordon has come to the Pope's Hall.

Compared with the magnificent palace, the pope's hall looks more solemn and empty. The building uses black and gold to outline the lines, and the specially elevated stone pillars and domes expand the sense of vastness of the field of vision.

Gordon stepped on the floor tiles with intricate patterns and walked to the deep part of the corridor step by step.After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they stopped in front of a golden gate.

"Please come in. His Excellency the Pope has been waiting for you for a long time."

The person who said these words bowed towards Gordo, but instead of leading the way for Gordo, he turned and left respectfully and silently, gradually disappearing into the night.

Gordon opened the door.

The purpose of entering is hundreds of bright candles and books all over the wall.

The Pope was standing by the desk, his figure was inconspicuous compared with the tall book wall.

"You are here, child." The Pope waved his hand, the candlelight in the sky jumped for a moment, and a chair was silently moved from the corner to the opposite side of the desk, "Please sit down."

Goldo: "..."

He looked at the pope's soft but composed face by candlelight—it could be said to be 30 years old, or 40 years old, but it was too far-fetched to say that it was an old man's face.

Goldo was not too surprised by the Pope's "young attitude". He raised his eyebrows, walked to the chair calmly, and sat down:

"Good night, His Excellency the Pope."

"Good night," replied the Pope kindly, "I am sorry that I have invited you into my study at this time and in this way--in fact, we could have formed a more harmonious and closer friendship, but it is a pity. Forced by the bureau, there has never been such an opportunity.”

"I really have to thank you for saving the child in my family." Goldo smiled and went straight to the point, "But if I can see him appearing in front of me alive and kicking right away, then I will thank you even more."

"Of course. I didn't mean to threaten you with that child. He's sleeping in a guest room not far from here now—just take him with you when you leave, and no one will stop you." The pope laughed Fingers crossed and palms together, "Please believe in my sincerity."

"...Forgive me. What I saw and heard in the past made me have to be more vigilant." Goldo said.

"Hahaha, are you worried that I will attack you? No, child, I understand the difference between you and others. In this world full of mediocrity, it is foreseeable that you are so talented. It's not easy being a young man—I'm rather stingy."

"Let's stop here for the polite words." The smile on the corners of Goldo's lips condensed, revealing his sharpness, "May I ask you to come to me at this time, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

"Let's talk about what you want to hear first—about your mother, by the way," said the Pope. More like your father. We can see each other, if your mother is still alive, she will definitely regard you as a treasure like your father—speaking of which, you probably understand what I mean."

Of course Gordon understood.

The lord's father loves Gordon so much, naturally because he loves his mother deeply.Love the house and the crow.

"Not only do you look like your mother, but your intelligence is also very similar. Your mother is also a genius." The Pope smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Otherwise, I would not have helped her seek the throne."

Gordon: "...?"

"I don't know how much you know about the events back then. The fall of the Mad Queen was indeed planned by me. However, that little girl with no plans is not suitable to be a king. On the contrary, although your mother is the king's illegitimate daughter, But her aptitude to be king is second to none—so, we have an agreement." The pope's smile made people shudder in the dim light, "I will help her become queen, and she will help me to untangle myself. Find some puzzles. Well, magical ones."

"...the legacy of the Shenna religion, the skull of the soul of the wise man sleeping." Goldo said softly.

"That's right, you have found all of these." The Pope nodded approvingly, and continued, "Your mother's magical aptitude is also unparalleled in the world, although her talent is all about black magic... Anyway, we have worked together to study it for a while. , we were very good friends at that time. I also made a promise with her that I would push her to the throne. In return, we would share the secret of the skull and usher in real eternal life together—what is real eternal life? The immortality of the soul is eternal life. Life and death are the tests set by the Holy Lord, and they are also the natural barrier between the world and the kingdom of God. It is not possible for ordinary geniuses to cross this natural barrier. But I believe that you and I mother can do..."

Goldo: "...So, why did you part ways later?"

Pope: "Because of that damn Casal Moran... oh, sorry, I forgot that man was your father. But Casar Moran brought devastation to your mother. She was Love has gone to your head, and you don't want to be a king, and you don't want to explore the mystery of eternal life with me anymore."

"Your mother bid farewell to me like this—'I don't want to ask for eternal life. It's good that I can be with the one I love.'" The Pope seemed to be a little bit unable to suppress his anger when he said this, "The result, no She passed away because of dystocia a few years ago. It can be seen how unwise it is to give up eternal life for love..."

At this moment, the pope seemed to have the words "what love is bullshit" written all over his face.

Goldo: "..." There are a lot of slots, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"However, since the matter has come to this point, there is nothing I can do." The pope regained his composure, "After all these years, the puppet emperor whom I had pushed to the throne had his own opinions. He wanted to play with checks and balances to weaken my At the same time, it also weakens the potential heirs who really bear the blood of the king like you-what is he? Without the crown, he is not even qualified to negotiate with people like us."

"So, child, what I want to say is that the deal between me and your mother can continue. I can use the influence of the Holy See to make you a legitimate king. Then we can break the secret of the skull together and truly become this The eternal ruler of this continent..." The Pope said in a seductive language, "Then clean up all the things that you think are intrusive."
