Chapter 127 Calm Waves
Needless to say, I also know! The only person who can make him so respectful is the Pope! Although I am very angry with this scoundrel for not putting me in his eyes, I still put away my crossbow. Otherwise, the crossbow will follow this scoundrel's direction towards the Pope, which would be a big trouble! Although I hate to destroy the church, I also need to have some self-awareness! The current me is indeed not their opponent, so let's pretend with them for a while!
I brought Xianya down, walked to the front of the Pope and others, took a closer look, and found that this was a dry and shriveled old man with a sorrowful and worried face. He could deceive others, but I saw through his deeply hidden cunning at once! Ha ha! A fake gentleman!
Looking back, wow! They're all here, the commanders of the five legions, the twelve golden-robed cardinals, the emperors and kings of various empires and kingdoms, as well as their main members! There are several hundred people!
It seems like it's time to talk reason!
I exchanged a glance with my grandmother, and the information she gave me was - I'm very angry, and the consequences will be severe! Then I looked at my father, and he had an expression as if he had lost his son. Next, I looked at the king, and fortunately, he still had some expression left, shaking his head at me in disappointment. What's wrong with you, did you take a shake-your-head pill? As for Ishihara Koji, he was grinning from ear to ear, winking at me with a raised eyebrow! You bastard, just wait till I get back, I'll make sure you're finished!
"May I ask your lordship, have I committed some sort of offense?" The Pope asked with a furrowed brow.
"Ah! What's this?" He just wants to ask me to death step by step, in order to create public opinion! I won't give him the opportunity to create momentum. "I'm also helpless? I didn't come from afar to celebrate your birthday, but unexpectedly encountered a disaster in your palace! Under helplessness, I had to protect myself, and accidentally destroyed your place, please forgive me!"
"Oh? So you're saying someone wants to kill you here?" The Pope asked curiously: "Who is it, point him out! I'd like to see who's so bold."
"I don't know, but this Guardian Sword Saint - Machina Sevyn must know him, because he just helped that person earlier!" The poor monk kicked the ball to Machina Sevyn.
"Nonsense! I just arrived and saw you wanting to kill my brother! Please investigate clearly, Your Majesty!" He retorted.
"Haha! He confessed, that guy is his brother!" The poor Taoist laughed and said.
"Are you saying his brother is going to murder you here?" the Pope asked!
"That's right! That's exactly what happened!" As soon as I finished speaking, the people around me started discussing and whispering to each other.
"Bring him over!" The Pope ordered, then asked me, "Do you know why he killed you?"
"He's a robber and murderer!" The poor Taoist added another big hat to him! The people around were even more shocked!
"What did he snatch from you?" The Pope asked with a frown!
"What you're holding onto was originally mine!" The poor Daoist was dissatisfied with his repeated questioning, so he said to him: "Now you should ask others how they got it!"
"Where did this thing come from?" the Pope asked.
"This, I see the little girl holding in her hand! Hand it over!" He thought to himself that things were going badly. In front of so many people, the Pope couldn't possibly show favoritism, especially since it involved the Pope's own sister. The Pope wouldn't show bias even for his own sister!
"Is it yours?" The Pope was also depressed, his birthday had turned out like this, and no one would be comfortable! In fact, he probably guessed what had happened, but for the sake of the Vatican's face, he couldn't admit it! If it were an ordinary person, even if it were an emperor, he could make him disappear forever! But the trouble was that this little guy! Not only did it involve his sister, but also the powerful forces behind him, which were so great that even the Vatican dared not offend them! This was what made him feel deeply troubled!
At this time, the guard came to report, "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander Sevyn is unconscious!"
"Is that so? First, let's get him treated properly, and when he wakes up, we'll ask questions then!" The Pope thought to himself, finally finding an excuse. As long as it wasn't in front of all these people, he could say whatever he wanted! He then warmly took my hand and said, "This isn't the place, let's head back first! Amazing little guy, come, Uncle will take you on a good tour around here!"
This result really caught everyone off guard, what did this kid do? Did he destroy the Pope's palace? What a huge sin! Others just spit on the ground and risk losing their heads! He's fine, just like that? The father's worried face disappeared, the king's mouth was wide open in surprise, and Ishihara Kumaji was so angry that he stomped his feet. The rest of the people were curious, angry, and had all sorts of reactions!
The poor Taoist understood his intention, turning big things into small ones and small things into nothing! Anyway, the church has money to spare, it doesn't matter about this bit! As long as it's acceptable on the surface and doesn't offend the Spirit People and Dragon Clan, this is the only way he can adopt!
"Little guy, where did you get so many scrolls? I don't even have as many as you do!" The Pope was afraid that I wouldn't understand the situation, and he kept pestering me about it. He tried to probe me with a question while also trying to 'get close' to me!
"It was given by my grandmother!" The poor Taoist saw that he was so infatuated and didn't want to bother him too much, so he let him off!
"Oh! She's really generous!" The Pope was truly delighted this time. He thought I would cling to it and not let go, but unexpectedly I'm so open-minded!
"But isn't she my own grandmother?" I specially emphasized the word 'own'!
"Oh! I'm also your 'intimate' uncle?" I knew he would say that out of habit, the Pope regretted saying it as soon as he did!
"So what do you plan to give me?" When there's a chance, go for it. If not, create one and go for it anyway! I've done extensive research on this great career of being a gangster! The 'Three Evils' are experts in stealing and robbing, and they're also very professional in this aspect!
"I don't have that many scrolls?" The Pope said with a bitter smile!
"Just give me one - I want 'Great Prophecy'!" Am I a child now? So speaking also doesn't have so many considerations!
"Ah!" The Pope's old face changed slightly.
"You dare to ask for it?!" The grandmother scolded: "You're lucky I don't send you to the back mountain, and yet you still have the nerve to open your mouth so wide?"
"What's the scenery like behind the mountain? Why don't I just go take a look?" The poor Daoist priest didn't dare! Behind the mountain refers to the Inquisition Tribunal, where someone was once invited in for spitting in the palace and had a free meal for several months. After his family spent an astronomical amount of gold coins to bail him out, they found that he was no longer human or ghost-like. From then on, he would only say one sentence: "I'll never spit again!"
As expected, the Pope compromised and said: "How can I say that you have come from afar, and as your uncle, I should also show some courtesy? It's settled then, take it!" He took out a scroll from his spatial ring and handed it to me!
The poor Taoist received the super scroll amidst the envious gazes of the crowd! The "Great Prophecy Technique" is said to be the strongest spell in the world, rumored to have been passed down by the God of Light to the Pope, and only the Pope can use it! Its effect, put simply, is to manipulate time and space! Due to its immense power, which can even break the spatial laws of divine artifacts, a restriction was placed on it - aside from consuming divine energy, the caster's life force would also be spent!
This spell originally didn't have a scroll, but a previous Pope felt that this spell had two effects, yet only he could use it, and each time he could only use one of them, either controlling time or space, but not both at the same time! So he came up with an idea to replace it with a scroll! This way, he could use Time Stop to immobilize his enemies, and then simultaneously use Spatial Blade to attack his enemies! After his tireless efforts, he finally managed to create this special scroll that controls time, 'Great Prophecy'!
The poor monk now has in his hand the 'Great Prophecy Scroll' that can stop time for ten seconds within a hundred meters! Because this is a divine technique, there is no level standard for magic spells, but I estimate its power to be at least equivalent to a 12th-level forbidden spell! It's even capable of trapping dragon clans! Of course, as the caster, I can move freely! I've been envious of this mysterious Western technique for a long time, but never had the chance to come into contact with it. Only bird people know about it, and only the main deity understands it. Even Athena doesn't understand it! Now I finally have the opportunity to study it!
"Thank you, Uncle!" The poor Taoist said with delight!
"No need to be polite, I'm glad you're happy, but shouldn't you also give me some benefits?" The Pope said with a smile.
"Alright! You tell me, what do you want?" The poor Daoist thought he wanted the purple crystal bee's honey, anyway there was still a lot left, and it didn't matter to him. Compared to losing at least half a year of his lifespan in making the scroll, this wasn't anything!
"I want her!" The Pope unexpectedly pointed at Xianya!
Bastard! This old thing is looking for death!
