scepter

The layout of the pope's room was just like the old pope's when he was alive. Although Fansherich had the power to dispose of it at will, he simply didn't have the time and energy to pay attention to such details.

"Okay, you guys go out first." He said after listening to his subordinate's routine report.

Adolf, "Your Majesty, why did you send Archbishop Hill..."

Before he finished speaking, Fanserich interrupted, "Adolf, Abel, what I didn't tell you is not because I don't trust you. On the contrary, I am out of protection for you. You are helping me now." I don’t care about anything, and knowing too much will bring disaster.”

He looked at his two subordinates gently, and agreed to abdicate and even cooperate with Yannick to destroy the monsters. He didn't tell them now. With Adolf and Abel's loyalty to him, he certainly didn't worry that the other party would betray him, but They will definitely oppose it fiercely. The three-day period is extremely tight, and Vanserich doesn't want to make extra troubles.

Adolf didn't hear the hint in his words, but Abel had already heard it. He looked at Fansherich's haggard face, didn't ask much, just bent down deeply: "Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty, we will be waiting for you at any time." Your command, and my allegiance to you."

Abel pulled Adolf out almost by pulling, but Adolf still couldn't figure out the situation: "I don't understand why His Majesty suddenly changed. He seems to be hiding something from us?"

Abel said solemnly: "If His Majesty doesn't want to talk about it, let's not ask more questions."

Adolf: "But..."

Abel: "Didn't you find out that His Majesty has frequently used the magic teleportation array these days, maybe the old Pope left something for him to deal with. All in all, we just need to follow His Majesty's orders."

Adolf sighed: "Well, you are right! Yannick Hill has a high reputation among the middle and lower priests. I am just worried that His Majesty will be opposed by others."

Although Abel had a vague guess, he couldn't tell Adolf now, so he could only vaguely say: "Your Majesty has always been wise, and he always has his reasons for doing this. You don't need to worry."

Vanserich didn't know about the conversation between Abel and Adolf. Even if he knew, it would be impossible to explain more to them. All his attention is now on the emerald ring in front of him.

"Sworn in the name of the Goddess of Light, willing to share power with the creatures from the dark world, as a proof, summon great allies!"

Even though he was fully prepared mentally, when Fansherich recited this incantation, he still felt a chilling feeling. For a moment, he would rather go to a decisive battle with the Four Great Law Saints than stay in this place alone. The room faces the unknown.

As the syllables of the incantation were read out one by one, the originally quiet room gradually began to blow air, from slow to fast, and a black vortex slowly appeared in front of Fanserich.

In the vortex, it seems to lead to an endless dark world.

Fanserich sat on the chair, calmly watching the vortex getting bigger and bigger, until finally, someone walked out of the vortex.

Unexpectedly, it was a young and beautiful woman with a curvy figure in a gorgeous palace skirt, just like a real lady.

His Majesty the Pope expressed his relief that the other party did not appear directly as a monster.

"Are you the new pope?" The woman's voice was pleasant, but her face, which should have been lively and lovely, was concealed by heavy makeup, making it a little more charming.

"Yes, I got the ring left by the old pope, and he asked me to contact you in this way." Fanserich looked at her calmly, "Maybe you can introduce yourself."

The woman giggled and stretched out her hand towards him. This action almost made Vansherich think that she was going to attack, and then threw a bright light in the past, but he quickly realized that he was asking him to kiss his hand. .

As a human female, this etiquette is normal, but in the face of a monster, Fanserich felt very uncomfortable.

However, he only hesitated for a second, and quickly held her hand, touched it lightly with his lips, and then left.

In fact, with the Pope's status, it was supposed to be a woman who raised her skirt to salute him, but the identity of a monster cannot be judged by common sense. To show his sincerity, Vanserich didn't want to make any mistakes in such details.

The woman seemed quite satisfied with his sense of humor: "My name is Lily, but you can call me Lilith."

Fansherich immediately understood: "I heard that His Majesty Alfonso VIII has a favored lover beside him. It seems that you are Mrs. Pei Ji?"

The woman pursed her red lips and sat down. "It seems that the old Pope told you everything. I regret that he didn't live to see us occupy the Olin Continent."

Vansherich said in a low voice: "The old Pope is like my father and teacher. I am also very sad about his death, but I still have some doubts about the contract between us. I hope Mrs. Pei Ji can Answer it for me."

Lily's eyes fluttered, "Your Majesty the Pope might as well come and listen."

When she uttered the words "His Majesty the Pope", not only did she show no respect, but she also showed a hint of provocation. For monsters who like to indulge in various desires, although Fansherich's appearance is not as good as On Yannick, but it can be called good.

Although Fanserich's indifference made her a little annoyed, but Lily was not arrogant enough to think that she could deal with a pope, and all she could rely on was the race behind her.

Vansherich: "The old Pope told me that the agreement between the two parties only ends on the day when the monster army invades the Olin Continent. According to the original plan, you have now annexed half of the Duchy of Mecklen. There is no longer any cooperation between them."

Lily: "In principle, but you didn't destroy the ring, so I can understand that you want to continue working with us?"

Vanserich: "Yes."

Lily: "What do you want?"

Fansherich: "I want to expand the territory of the Papal State. At that time, the Principality of Ceylon, the Principality of Cornwall, and the territory of the Sarat Empire will be assigned to the Holy See, while other countries will be at your disposal."

Lily raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean, you want to divide the continent into two and rule together with us?"

Vanserich: "Yes, you need living space, and the Holy See also needs it. Your arrival has destroyed those old systems, and it is also an opportunity for the establishment of a new system. I hope to establish a church-theocracy after the war. nation."

Lily: "Your Majesty, I have to remind you that your thinking is a bit naive. Even without you, we can still annex Olin Continent, and we don't need to cooperate with you at all."

Fansherich interrupted her coldly: "No, you need it! Don't you think your attack speed is too slow now? We have wiped out all the undead. Although the army of monsters looks scary, as long as you give enough to humans Even if we pay a painful price, we will win in the end. Just think about it, now that the human camp is torn apart, it will take you so long to even occupy the Principality of Mecklen, let alone other countries. "

Lily smiled: "Dear Your Majesty, it's only because the army of the monster plane has not been fully dispatched. Your teacher should have told you that the cracks in the monster plane are difficult to tear, but that day is not far away. Believe me You'll see soon."

Fanserich's expression remained unchanged: "What if I tell other people this secret now?"

Lily: "Your Majesty, are you threatening a monster?"

Fanserich: "No, I just want to express my sincerity in cooperating with you. You should understand my sincerity from the moment I unlock the ring. If you think that just relying on Alfonso VIII is If monsters can let you destroy the human camp from within, then I can only say that you know too little about human beings. Of course, human beings have many bad qualities, we are despicable and shameless, have endless desires, and will never be satisfied, but Human beings can become the masters of the Olympian continent, and they also have wisdom and tenacity that other races cannot match."

Lily narrowed her eyes and grasped the details in his words: "It seems that His Majesty knows a lot. Alfonso VIII is a monster. Who told you this news?"

Fansherich said frankly: "Yannick Hill escaped the assassination of Alfonso VIII and reported all this to me in an attempt to expose your conspiracy. However, he has now been caught by me."

Lily laughed: "It turns out that His Majesty's sincerity is this. I'm starting to look forward to it, but before that, I hope to see it with my own eyes."

Fanserich seemed to have expected that she would say this, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

He stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a certain piece of the complicated and layered parchment scrolls. With a low sound, a dark passage appeared in front of them.

Vanserich walked in front, quickly hiding in the dark and narrow passage, Lily hesitated, and followed behind.

Not long after walking, bright candlelight appeared in front of her. Only then did Lily see that there was an extra room next to the dark passage, and Vanserich was standing at the door waiting for her with a candle in his hand.

"Please come in."

Lily raised her eyebrows at his mysterious demeanor: "Your Majesty, I'm curious, what exactly did you ask me to come here to see..."

Her voice stopped abruptly.

This was a dark and damp torture room, and the smell of blood wafted from it.

It can be seen from the rusty torture equipment around it that this place should have a long history. Due to the secret location, it may be used by successive popes to imprison some prisoners who do not want to be known to the outside world.

In front of Lily, a huge cross-shaped wooden stake was nailed to the wall, and a person was tied to the wooden stake, to be precise, it was locked with an iron chain, and both arms were wrapped around the horizontal stake in circles. The other party was only wearing a thin white robe, which was blood-stained and conspicuous. His long silver hair fell down his drooping head. He looked miserable, but at the same time exuded a sense of abusive beauty.

As a monster, the aesthetics are also different. This scene is obviously very in line with the aesthetics of monsters. Lily's eyes are shining, and she can't take her eyes off the other party.

"This is my sincerity." Fansherich said beside him.

Lily walked over and pinched the priest's chin with her fingers. The priest was asleep, and he should have passed out. It is not difficult to imagine that he had suffered a lot before, maybe because he refused to bow his head to the new pope, or because he refused to stand in line Lily didn't care about these things. She was deeply impressed by this beautiful and delicious priest. At this time, she licked her lips and immediately remembered the regret of being run away by the other party after she almost got it in the dark forest.

"Your Majesty is really sincere." Lily was very satisfied, imprisoning a person who might reveal the secret of Alfonso VIII here undoubtedly showed his position.It seems that this person, like the old pope, is also a guy who is obsessed with fame and fortune.

I'm not afraid that you have desires, but I'm afraid that you don't have desires. Monsters like to cooperate with such people the most.

"I want this person." Lily's nails slid gently across the priest's cheeks. It's really delicious food. It can be eaten after being used up on the bed. The corner of Devansherich's eyes twitched. "Give him to me."

Vanserich: "Not yet."

Lily turned her head to look at him, her eyes couldn't hide the fierce and bloodthirsty light.

Fansherich turned a blind eye, and if he fought alone, a monster would not be his opponent at all.

"He knows a lot of secrets about the Holy See, and he recently has the intention to join my political opponents. At this time, his disappearance will cause a lot of trouble, and I want to get more information from him. Wait until I talk to you Once the cooperation is confirmed, I will naturally give him to you."

Lily thought for a while, and the fierce light gradually faded: "You want the territory of those three countries as the land for the expansion of the Papal State. Is this your purpose?"

Fansherich: "This is just the basic condition for us to cooperate with each other. In order to achieve this goal, I will help you speed up the splitting of the human camp. No one understands human beings better than human beings. Since Alfonso VIII is a monster, things are simpler Yes, I hope to meet with him alone and discuss specific cooperation matters."

Lily was silent, obviously thinking about it.

Fanserich asked tentatively: "Or you and Alfonso VIII, you are the leader?"

Lily looked at him uncertainly, and after a while, she said, "I can arrange for you to meet."

This is an indirect acknowledgment that his status in the monster plane is not as good as that of Alfonso VIII, or in other words, the monster possessed by Alfonso VIII.

Fansherich secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, thank you very much."

Lily pointed at the silver-haired priest: "But after the meeting, this person is mine."

Fansherich pondered for a moment: "Yes."

The two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention, and Lily left here reluctantly, looking back at every step, obviously very satisfied with this "food" and never forgetting it.

Before leaving, she even touched the silver-haired priest who couldn't resist up and down. If it wasn't for the fact that Fanserich was still here, she might want to come and go before leaving.

"Don't break him, I've already made a reservation." Lily said to Fansherich.

"I will promise that he will be alive when you get him, but before that, I will teach this kind of traitor a lesson." Fanserich said with a blank expression.

Lily giggled and touched Fanserich's face, the latter quickly avoided her, but she didn't take it seriously: "Your Majesty, although you are not as good as him, don't be discouraged, you are the type Yes, I like it too."

"Thank you for the compliment, beautiful lady." I'd love to wring your head off and smash it with a hammer and stuff it in your belly, too.With a serious look, His Majesty the Pontiff thought solemnly.

Lily left with the preliminary agreement reached by the two. Of course, the so-called agreement was not written on the parchment, but a contract in the form of a spell. Only such a contract has the effect that neither party can break.

Fanserich also gambled his position as pope in the contract. Although he had no intention of continuing to be pope, but the monster didn't know it, and this oath seemed more credible.

The two parties agreed on tomorrow afternoon, because Prince George arranged a large-scale opera for his father, and His Majesty the Pope will come to watch it in person, and the closed private room will be a good opportunity to talk about serious business.

After finishing these matters and sending away the lewd monster, His Majesty the Pope immediately rushed to the torture room just now.

Chris had rescued the priest a long time ago, and was hugging him, pouring all kinds of precious medicines into his mouth as if free of money.

Seeing this, Fansherich smiled wryly: "Chris, get out of the way, I think my light therapy will be more effective."

In order to win the trust of the monster, Yannick's injury is of course real, but his injury is worth it, at least the cunning Lily was also deceived.

Not only did the mage in black not appreciate him, but his eyes stabbed at him like a sharp knife: "Why didn't you stop that woman's hand from fumbling around just now?"

Fanserich felt wronged: "If I stop it, won't she be more suspicious?"

Chris snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Well, he could understand, after all, this person was in the next room at that time, watching his lover being touched all over by others.

Fanserich resigned himself to his fate and walked over to help Yannick heal. The Pope made a move. Of course, it was extraordinary. Those seemingly hideous wounds healed quickly under the effect of the healing technique.

Yannick coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly opened his eyes. In order to achieve a realistic effect, he really bled a lot this time.

Seeing him wake up, Chris picked him up and walked out without thinking.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Fansherich hurriedly called out to them: "Do you want me to face two or more monsters alone tomorrow?"

Yannick blinked weakly: "I was injured twice on duty, and strongly requested a vacation."

Chris is confident: "I want to take care of my partner."

Fanserich: "..."

Yannick looked at him with sincere eyes: "Your Majesty, we believe in your ability, don't hesitate to go, if you die because of this, I will get you the honor and reputation you deserve at the Archbishop Conference!"

Fanserich: "..."

So couples are the most annoying thing!
