There's definitely something wrong with this script.

Chapter 650 This group of players are too good at making trouble

City of Light, Holy See.

Just when Xu Shuo finished reading the Pope's little notes and had a general understanding of the grievances between the Guangming Cult and the San Valo Empire, the priest sent another jade medal from the Sun Knights.

What kind of knight order is this, won't they finish the matter at once?

Xu Shuo waved back the servant who had run back and forth three times, and his mental strength penetrated into the jade tablet.

A large paragraph of text floated in front of my eyes, and judging from the tone of the speech, it seemed to be the narration of the crew members who discovered Heilong Island.

At the end, there is also a report from the head of the Knights of the Sun himself, and asked the Pope how to deal with the follow-up of Black Dragon Island, and that the news of Black Dragon Island has been leaked. By the way, I would like to ask if there is any support from the Holy See.

Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly as he read this passage.

If he hadn't just obtained the Pope's memory, there is a high probability that he really wouldn't think there was anything wrong with this passage.

But in fact, all members of the Sun Knights are in the city-state of Tunus, and the Pope only entrusted this task to his most trusted Sun Knights.

So there is no mention of foreign aid at all, and the chief of the Knights must understand this problem.

Can't catch it?

Come and see me.

But to be able to ask this question, it must not be that the chief of the Knights has rebelled, and there is a high probability that the player is testing something.

Moreover, the other party was also very cautious in their choice of words, and did not directly indicate that it was the Solar Knights who needed support. If the Pope asked at that time, he could use other reasons to smooth things over.

It seems that his most loyal chief knight has become a player.

Almost equal to mutiny.

Xu Shuo complained, took the jade tablet, turned around and left through the back door of the palace, and came to a magnificent and spacious hall.

There is golden brilliance everywhere here, adding a shocking color to his gray and white world.

Under the light, he could clearly see the color of the wall, the color of the carved patterns on the pillars, and the color of the sky outside the casement.

All of this depends on the gift of light.

The Pope is a native of Guangming City.

Since he was born, he has weak eyesight and can't see things. He can see things a little bit when he grows up, but he can only see gray and white colors. He doesn't know what the seven colors in other people's mouths are.

But with the mother's advice, the child didn't dare to reveal his specialness, fearing that he would be treated as an evil by the Holy See, so he grew up trembling and self-deprecating.

Until he was eight years old, he went to the church to receive the baptism of the God of Light—this is a blessing that every free citizen of the City of Light will receive since childhood.

That day, the child saw a golden light.

Since then, a fanatical follower of the God of Light who worships the God of Light and intends to invade all human beings in order to serve his god, and even wants to become an emperor, appeared.

Ambition can make a person grow, especially a person who has been different from ordinary people since childhood.

So the child has become the Pope of Light today.

On the first day he became Pope, he began to deploy the plan to annex the San Valo Empire, and Black Dragon Island was the first step.

The giant dragon family is a strange race. They have no spirit and belief, and rely on their own blood to inherit and evolve. Therefore, they have extremely powerful flesh and blood power and are the most powerful race in the world.

Thousands of years ago, the dragon clan helped the elves.

After a thousand years, the Pope wanted it to turn against him.

……

Xu Shuo walked through the long corridor surrounded by light, entered the rear hall where the huge sculpture of the God of Light stood, and stood in the formation below the sculpture.

The jade token in his hand turned into a spot of light and dissipated, a new jade token condensed and appeared, and then submerged into the formation under his feet.

After passing the instruction, Xu Shuo stood in the empty hall, looking up at the gigantic sculpture with a height of more than 20 meters beside him.

There is also a statue of the God of Light in the center of Guangming City, just behind the Holy See. That statue is 50 meters high and can be seen from any corner of Guangming City.

As for the one in the pope's palace, it was built by the fanatic pope himself.

Xu Shuo used his excellent eyesight to look at the face of the statue, but he didn't know if the gods were all unknown, so the sculpture did not accurately engrave his facial features, but only had a vague outline.

And this sculpture, it seems that there is no sacred place.

In fact, in the Pope's memory, he has never seen the scene where the God of Light really performed miracles. He even failed to touch the God of Light during the coronation, but the power of faith poured into his body.

The only thing that can be called a miracle here is probably the sun crown on the top of the Holy See that emits light all the time, and the light allows him to see other colors.

This is why the Pope really admires the God of Light.

but now……

Xu Shuo thought to himself, now, the most loyal fanatics of the God of Light have almost betrayed.

Although what he will do is also like a fanatic.

Xu Shuo looked at the Pope's plan.

In addition to arranging for the Knights of the Sun to search for Black Dragon Island in the Tunus Sea, the Holy See also recruited Princess Teresa of the San Vallo royal family, and the Duke of Silver who was located on the border of the Northland.

Princess Teresa was in poor health when she was a child and was sent to a farm to recuperate. The Holy See was the princess she came into contact with at that time.

Eyeliner is to be cultivated from an early age.

And in order to make this chess piece more loyal to the God of Light, when the princess was eight years old, the Sun Knights boldly stole the princess for a day under the order of the Pope, and sent her to the Holy See of Light to receive the blessing personally bestowed by the Pope.

The blessing not only raised the princess's body, but also made the princess admire the Pope even more.

Hmm... admiration for the Pope.

The innocent little loli was completely deceived by the 80-year-old fritters.

Each Pope can serve for two or three hundred years, so this is not because the role is different from ordinary people, but because the Pope who has accepted the crown of the God of Light is different from ordinary people.

The pope was crowned at the age of 60. In an instant, he changed from a handsome old man with gray temples to a handsome young man.

Therefore, the Pope, who has planned to annex the San Vallo Empire since the day he took office, has actually been secretly planning for decades.

Teresa was the right pawn he had finally been waiting for.

Xu Shuo flipped through the memory of the character, and then condensed a jade tablet, which was sent out through the formation under his feet.

After passing the instructions to Teresa, he also passed a jade token to the Silver Duke by the way.

Can't treat them differently.

Oh, and I forgot about the Knights of the Sun.

After Xu Shuo thought about it, he replied: [Don't worry about it, send people to Heilong Island first. ]
...

After the war thousands of years ago, the giant dragon family suffered heavy losses, and gradually faded out of history in the millennium, and became a legendary species together with the elves.

Now, no one has seen elves and dragons for hundreds of years.

But the pope is sure that the dragon is not extinct, and he does not believe that the group of cunning elves have fallen and disappeared.

Legend has it that dragons live on islands floating in the sea.

And Black Dragon Island is just one of the islands inhabited, but the reason why they chose to search for Black Dragon Island is mainly because there are still rumors and rumors about Black Dragon Island in the Tunus sea area.

As for the other islands, there are not many relevant records left.

The pope had no other dragons to find, so he found the black dragon.

As for how to persuade Heilong to agree to cooperate after finding it?

This matter may require the Pope himself to come forward.

However, the Pope of Light has never left the City of Light, and for the safety of the Pope, the bishops will not let him leave the City of Light.

I just don't know if the black dragon is willing to come over.

When Xu Shuo was thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he felt that there was another teacher asking for instructions at the gate of the palace.

Did you run four times?
How long has it been since the game started, and the situation has not yet been figured out, and the group of players started to make troubles like crazy.

……

Open the door this time.

The teacher was trembling.

He also seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to come over and disturb the Pope again and again, but he had to tell the Pope about those things.

"what's up?"

The cold and quiet voice fell overhead, and the priest sitting kneeling at the door did not dare to look up at the Pope.

He bowed his head and said respectfully: "Saint Vallowald XVIII suffered a sudden illness and was unable to govern. I would like to invite His Excellency the Pope to go to the royal capital to crown His Royal Highness Simon Wald."

Under the cover of his eyebrows, Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

The authority of the Holy See in the empire is extremely high, this is not just talking about it.

When the kings of the San Vallo Empire succeed to the throne, the pope needs to personally bless the coronation, but in the past, the kings themselves came to Guangming City for the coronation ceremony.

From this, we can already see the high status of the Pope.

In the past history, there were even kings who, after offending the Holy See, traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Guangming City to kneel down and atone for their sins.

For thousands of years, the Holy See and the Empire could not always live in peace, and there have been many frictions and disputes.

But after Wald XIII pleaded guilty to the Holy See, the empire could no longer remove the influence of the Holy See, nor could it stop the spread of theocracy in the empire, and even completely became a theocracy kingdom.

Therefore, it cannot be said that there is no problem with the invitation of Wald XVIII.

It can only be said that there is a big problem!
Hongmen Banquet?
But if His Excellency the Pope refuses to go to the capital, I am afraid that His Highness Simon will not come to the City of Light to receive the coronation himself, but will bypass the Holy See to succeed him as Wald XIX.

This is a blatant contempt for theocracy!

And the impact that will happen after this is nothing more than the resurgence of the Wald XIII rebellion, and another wave of pleas from the successor king.

The king had to do this because the Holy See would let him know what "public opinion" is.

certainly--

It's all set up in the real world.

In the game world, players don't care about the consequences of the future at all, and they just leave it at that.

Game over, let it be a flood.

Xu Shuo meditated without saying a word, and glanced at his side mission: [Kill King San Valo. 】

He was suddenly a little curious.

If the throne is passed on successfully, will it kill the previous one or the current one?
If there is no text trap, it should be the incumbent, right?
Or just kill them all?
He remained silent for a long time, making the priest kneeling at the door more and more frightened, and he clenched his fists nervously, thinking that His Excellency the Pope must be angry.

No one can bear the pope's wrath.

Probably only Wald XVIII died.

Xu Shuo sensed his mood swings, and suddenly asked, "What would the priest say?"

The priesthood of the Holy See of Light is composed of ten bishops, who mainly assist the Pope in dealing with the political affairs of the Holy See of Light. Any actions of the Holy See are supervised by the priesthood, including all priests under his command are managed by the priesthood.

If you want to worry about whether the priests will make the pope empty, then there is no need, every pope is elected from the bishop.

Moreover, there has never been a case in history where a pope was overthrown by a priesthood.

Every pope dies.

Different from the bloody storm before each succession of the San Vallo royal family, the succession of the Holy See of Light is harmonious and awe-inspiring.

I also know that all of this depends on the God of Light.

Asking the Pope to leave the City of Light and walk thousands of kilometers to the capital to crown the new king, these things sounded like making the free people in the City of Light laugh.

— because it sounds impossible.

But the Priest Council didn't directly block this ridiculous request, but asked the priest to come over and tell him. Xu Shuo wanted to know what those old fellows were thinking.

The acolyte said nervously: "Master Bishop said, it all depends on your wishes. If you go, they will arrange all the knights of the Holy See of Light to escort you. If you don't go, don't bother."

Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He got it.

The fanatic Pope thought he had hidden great plans and great achievements—in fact, the priesthood had known about it for a long time, and he was still secretly cooperating with his actions.

The priests also knew about the Pope's desire to find Black Dragon Island, but the reason given by the Pope was just curiosity about the existence of the Black Dragon.

Priests believe it on the surface.

But which bishop is not a human being?

It's just that their ideals probably coincide with the Pope's, or in other words, they don't mind laying down the belief of the entire empire for the God of Light.

And to become the true Pope, King San Vallo must die.

No matter who you are, you must die.

Even in this contest between theocratic power and royal power, all the bloodlines of the San Vallo royal family who may succeed to the throne may not necessarily be able to stay.

Therefore, the priesthood said on the surface that "all the knights of the Holy See will escort you to crown the king", but in fact it means "all the knights of the Holy See will go with you to take the king's head".

There is no need for Guangming City to stay behind.

After taking down the Royal Family of San Vallo, it is no problem to rebuild as many Bright Cities as possible. The Priesthood is not as old-fashioned as it looks on the surface.

But since the priests will be able to discover this, there is a high probability that the royal family of San Vallo will also be aware of it. Perhaps the royal family has already deployed a plan to destroy the Holy See.

This is the harbinger of war.

Both the empire and the Holy See have tacit understanding.

All that's missing is an opportunity to explode.

Xu Shuo tapped the pocket door lightly with his fingers, and smiled lightly: "It's a long way to go to the royal capital, and we will arrive in about ten days from now, let the royal family of San Vallo get ready."

The priest was startled, he opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to persuade the Pope not to belittle himself like this.

But he also quickly realized that he was not and qualified to comment on any decisions made by His Majesty the Pope, so he closed his almost offensive mouth in time, and hurriedly backed away.

After the servants left, Xu Shuo did not rush to close the gate of the palace.

He walked out of the dormitory, sat in the hall and waited for a while. After a while, he saw an old man in a medium-gray clergy robe walking towards him.

After seeing the Pope sitting on the head seat of the hall from a distance, the bishop bowed in that direction and saluted. After entering the hall, he saluted again under the head seat.

"My lord Pope."

"Do you know that I want to be emperor?"

Before the saluting bishop stood still, Xu Shuo asked directly, and then saw the old man's body crooked.

The bishop sighed helplessly: "There are two schools of priests, and I am the one that disagrees, my lord, this matter..."

"Yes, I will go with your arrangement, if not, I will go by myself." Xu Shuo interrupted him directly.

"..." Bishop.

This pope is so hard to bring.
