Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

With a snap, the box was closed.

The mind-reading hat closed its mouth, and everything fell into silence.

The knight commander stared at the wooden box, hesitating to speak, hesitating to speak: "This..."

"As a strange object, it is a strange species. In addition, it has experienced centuries of wear and tear, and its brain is not normal. It is already a strange thing." Cordelia sat back on the chair: "But its accuracy is as high as 9%. Nineteen, there has only been one misjudgment in a hundred years, so it is trustworthy.”

"Appeared once?"

"Yeah, but no one knows what caused the misjudgment, so no one knows the weakness of the mind-reading hat." Cordelia raised her hand in a 'please' gesture: "Now you can prove me Have you learned your identity, everyone?"

The Cardinal suddenly burst into laughter, and the old man calmly took his seat and shouted: "You can rest assured now, Knight Commander, this is the real saint herself."

The Knight Commander saluted: "There have been many offenses before."

"It doesn't matter." Cordelia picked up the teacup: "I don't feel aggrieved... As long as you don't immediately say 'please return to your throne, Your Highness the Saint', I don't want to become the protagonist in a bad urban drama." .”

A cup of black tea was handed to the cardinal. The cardinal rolled up his sleeves and asked, "It's been three years, my child. You don't seem to have changed much, but you seem to have experienced a lot."

"Well..." Cordelia put down the tea cup and said bluntly: "Andre died. His death taught me a lot."

The cardinal said: "My child, please forgive me. In order to protect you, Andre will think that he deserves to die."

Cordelia didn't find this sentence ironic. Even if Andre did something wrong in the end, it didn't mean that all his past contributions were false.

She nodded and did not spoil Andre's posthumous name, but changed the subject lightly.

"Although I really want to catch up with Lord Vartaya, but you are here at the invitation of Archduke Bach. Isn't it inappropriate for him not to be present?"

The Cardinal nodded and said, "It's time to invite Archduke Bach to come forward."

"Then let's change the venue?" Cordelia stood up and said, "The sunlight in the courtyard is too dazzling."

Back in the living room, the group of people sat down around the table.

Archduke Bach was sweating a little.

He should be happy that his daughter is real.

But his behavior of secretly informing the Holy Church will inevitably cause trouble later.

So he chose not to say a word and remained silent from beginning to end.

And Cordelia began to slowly talk about everything she experienced in Fuso.

Except for concealing a little bit about what happened in Ashen Robin's secret room, everything else that can be said has been said.

"So, you have been sleeping for three years after fighting the flute player?" The Cardinal confirmed again.

"Yes." Cordelia nodded: "This is also the reason why my appearance has hardly changed. In the frozen sleep, my body functions are still."

"Thank you for your hard work, kid."

"I can't talk about it. I asked for it myself." Cordelia said openly: "Actually, for me, these three years are just a sleep. What's a pity? Maybe it's because I couldn't go to Daxia. He turned back in a hurry."

Her explanation was very clear, with almost no loopholes, and perfectly filled in the reason for the three-year gap.

As for the evidence…

Just call Siye out. In fact, she has always been there. She is sitting in the palm of Bai Yu's hand. When she heard that it was time for her to appear, she turned around in a circle and saw a snowflake falling north. Feng Xiaoxiao's performance.

If the eternal flowers and leaves were not in Bai Yu's hands, perhaps a few other people could not help but take them and take a look.

Most of the mysteries about Cordelia have been solved. Naturally, after going around in a circle, curious or doubtful eyes will fall on Bai Yu.

There is too much subjectivity in Cordelia's story.

In order to cover up the unreasonableness caused by some omissions, she could only blame Bai Yu for the unreasonableness.

As a result, there are always four or five sentences out of ten that mention Baiyu.

The Daxia people couldn't interrupt her narration, but their expressions became more and more subtle.

Although he saved Cordelia, when did he reach the stage of making an eternal oath?

What do you mean I have to take you all the way out of hell?

Didn’t we come out eating hot pot and singing while looking at the scenery?

When did I get caught in the mirror?

Too many flaws.

But he couldn't interrupt, so he could only close his ears and listen to her making up nonsense.

However, the people around him still had the look of realization on their faces, saying, "I see, I completely understand this."

No, what do you understand?

Can you all believe this improvised adventurous love story?

The Demon Altar fighters are a hundred times better looking than this!

Archduke Bach immediately stood up and bowed directly: "As a father, I thank you for bringing my daughter back alive from the underworld. It is really unimaginable that it would be such a dangerous place."

"As the Cardinal of the Holy Church, I also need to thank this friend of Daxia for returning the saint safely." Lord Vartaya also stood up.

"Thank you." Lena, who was standing behind her sister, also wiped the corners of her eyes: "Thank you..."

Bai Yu used strong muscle control to maintain his expression: "You're welcome, as you should."

He suddenly realized that maybe his face was not thick enough.

These people may not believe the story Cordelia made up, but they certainly know that Cordelia’s attitude is clear.

Cordelia's person is who she is, and she has a great affection for Bai Yu. If she compliments him at this time, isn't it giving Cordelia some face?

This saint is still alive, carrying the mystery of the Golden Rule. Her height in this life is far from reaching its peak, and it is impossible to say how high her achievements will be in the future.

If the Roman emperor hadn't already been married, she might have had a chance to compete for the position of princess.

Bai Yu thought about it and felt that the logic made sense... Anyway, as long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

He accepted it calmly.

After this interlude, Cordelia has finished speaking and is about to get down to business.

"Now that you are back, son, when do you plan to go to the Tribunal to report on your duties?" The cardinal asked lightly, turning the topic into a serious direction. This is a question that no one can avoid.

"This, I've actually checked it." Cordelia opened her leaves and showed the screen. In the screen, a newly promoted saint was kissing a girl's forehead surrounded by flowers. Beautiful and warm: "The Huadu Diocese had a new saint who took over half a year ago. I think she did a good job and is much more reliable than me."

"So, what do you mean?"

"I can retire," Cordelia said.

"No!" Archduke Bach was the first to stand up and object: "How can you give up your position as a saint!"

"I disappeared without authorization for three years, which caused reputational damage to the church, and I naturally need to bear it." Cordelia's attitude was calm and determined: "And there are two serving saints in the same diocese, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of the preaching department. confusion."

"The retirement of the saint is not a trivial matter. Even if I agree with your idea, it will ultimately be issued through the Holy See and His Majesty. This process usually takes a long time." The cardinal said this, but he was secretly opposed to it. He personally did not think that the Holy See had many celebrities. The Archbishops would give up on Cordelia's talents.

"Doing your best for the country does not necessarily have to be the position of a saint." Cordelia crossed her fingers: "I plan to seek a diplomatic-related position, such as... a resident diplomat facing the east."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, and then their eyes unconsciously glanced at the silent Daxia people.

...No, what are you looking at?

Bai Yu returned a look that said, "Take another look."

Archduke Bach was heartbroken. He didn't expect his daughter to come back, but his heart had already drifted to the east.

Is this trying to imitate the Winter Knight King back then?

He immediately said ‘I object’.

But his daughter has grown up, and the little cotton-padded jacket has grown wings and can fly on its own. It doesn't matter what he thinks.

Cordelia wants to leave, who else in this family can stop her?

Archduke Bach knew very well that if he and his daughter had a conflict of opinions and neither one of them would back down, he would be the one who would be kicked out of the house in the end, and he would be ridiculed before leaving.

‘——There is no place for you in this family anymore’

Archduke Bach could only place his hope on the church: "Your Excellency, Cardinal, please say something!"

Lord Vartaia was also considering his words. He did not object to Cordelia finding true love, but there was no possibility of staying away from Rome and settling in the East for at least fifty years.

The 21st century is the century of talents.

What's missing most? It's talent.

A contemporary Roman emperor had a famous saying.

"Governing a country well is an extremely simple matter. You just need to let those capable people fulfill their duties. Yes, you must completely squeeze out their value and give them no chance to breathe."

After hearing this, everyone applauded and cursed in their hearts, ‘Are you still speaking human words? Instead of treating the ministers as human beings, they really treat us as Parlu! ’

Know the person by watching his words.

The contemporary emperor is a sacrosanct trash can and a juicer who likes to use a monocle to see people's residual value.

"Your Majesty can't let you go." The Cardinal persuaded me nicely.

"Why, does your Majesty have a crush on me?" Cordelia asked.

"It may be possible to resign, but it is definitely difficult to leave Rome." Lord Vartaya smiled bitterly: "I have already asked for my resignation three times, but Your Majesty has delayed it for ten years, and is still delaying it, three years and three years later... …”

"Then I can sneak out secretly."

"Ahem, it's best not to say these words in front of the church." The cardinal archbishop coughed and said, "So, when do you plan to go back to report on your duties?"

Cordelia took a step back: "How about we discuss it? When will I kick my father down and inherit the title of Grand Duke, and when will I go back to report on my duties?"

"This is your family matter and has nothing to do with this." The Cardinal said, "The church has no right to interfere with the inheritance of noble titles."

Obviously, Archduke Bach just wanted to rush Cordelia back to the church.

As long as Cordelia goes to the church to report her duties, she will be delayed for a long time at least.

As for whether his title can be retained in the end, it is not clear. In short, he will survive this period first.

Cordelia gave Archduke Bach a fierce look... You old man! Are you so reluctant to give up the title? What can you do with this useless title?

Now before her eyes, there is only one way left to return to the Holy Church.

There will definitely be many complicated matters within the church in the future.

But she no longer wanted to get involved, she just wanted to spend this year's happy time with Bai Yu.

Is there any way?

When she was thinking hard.

There was a slight sound on the table, like a glass being put down.

A mobile phone was placed on the desk and pushed to the middle.

The Cardinal and the Knight Commander both looked at the Daxia people who made the noise with confusion.

"Please take a look at the good stuff." Bai Yu said, "This is very healthy."

The knight commander took a step forward, picked up the phone, and scanned it lightly. The next moment, his body suddenly froze.

The Cardinal also looked over with doubt, his expression instantly turned to stone, and then he was shocked.

On the screen of the mobile phone is a photo of an item.

What kind of photo would make two people breathe heavily and almost lose their composure.

Several people around him became curious.

But there was no room for explanation at this time.

The Knight Commander asked anxiously: "Is it true? It can't be false?"

"Probably, no..." The Cardinal's eyes were like lightning. They were not at all like the eyes of a half-century old man. They were sharp and blazing: "You have found Ashen Robin's secret room! In Cordelia's story just now, deliberately Hide this!”

Arsene Robin's Chamber of Secrets...!

This must involve a secret treasure, and I am afraid it is another treasure that has been lost in history.

Archduke Bach looked at Cordelia and saw that her expression did not change. He thought that this was indeed the case, she could not return empty-handed!

"you misunderstood."

Bai Yu opened his mouth and cut off all their speculations.

"She didn't find it, I found it."

"I rescued her, and I brought her things out."

Crossing their fingers, they repeated.

"I brought the things out."

He said slowly: "And I am from Daxia."

He emphasized this sentence emphatically.

Any smart person can hear the voiceover of this sentence.

He is from Daxia, so in theory, the ownership of this object already belongs to the Daxia official. As long as Bai Yu is willing to submit it, it will become an exhibit in the Daxia Museum...

To redeem it, Rome would need to spend a lot of time, exclude commissioners from negotiating, and pay a very high price.

The Cardinal asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Bai Yu sat steadily and said calmly: "I plan to publish a news article with the title 'Shocking! The saint's right wrist appears in the Daxia Museum!'... With photos and various interviews, I think it's certain Will it cause a heated discussion among the people?"

"Then what?" the red archbishop asked, pressing the knight commander's shoulder.

"Michael's right wrist, a relic of the saint, is of great significance to the theocratic Rome. Once the news is published, the Roman Emperor and the Holy Church must begin to redeem this item, right or not?"

"yes!"

"At that time, the Holy See will need to negotiate with Daxia officials to see what value you want to redeem it for, yes or no?"

"yes."

"If I add to my request for redemption, 'Bacteria only recognizes Cordelia Wittels Bach, the Holy Lady of the Holy Church of your country, as the negotiator,' then she will be forced to visit Bactria. ,Yes or no?"

"…yes."

While nodding, the Cardinal's voice was trembling.

Bai Yu said: "After all, it is a negotiation between the two countries. It is inevitable that it will take a long time. It is normal for it to take more than ten or twenty years, right?"

He asked again: "Yes or no?"

The cardinal did not answer this time.

Even if you don't answer, the answer is already self-evident.

If everything is carried out as Bai Yu said, then the Holy See can only follow this arrangement... Michael's right wrist, which is the relic of the saint, is of too great significance to the church, just like a close relative. Bones and blood!

It must be redeemed, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs.

Bai Yu smiled: "Very good, it seems you all agree with this."

The knight commander suddenly said: "Who do you think you are? Even if we negotiate with Daxia, we may not go according to your wishes. In the exchanges between Daxia and Rome... the two top powers, there is no small person at all. Opportunity!”

Bai Yu touched his chin and thought for a while: "Well... this is indeed a problem."

He took back his phone and put it back in his pocket: "Then, allow me to briefly introduce myself."

Standing up against the desk, Yue Zhi Yuanting's momentum spread out, his back straightened, and the iron-blooded spirit that had gone through hundreds of bloody battles and thousands of battles supported his back. All the legendary experiences of climbing to the top of Daxia and facing the ten evils were accumulated into A person's experience and background, the so-called coercion is not just the suppression of strength and the majesty of spirit, but also a kind of self-transformation brought about after thousands of tempers and the baptism of time. It is a kind of combination of authority, force, and achievements. , the external manifestation of the strong will of reputation.

The domineering kings of ancient times could make people frightened at a glance, and that was their overwhelming power.

Bai Yu rarely shows off his dragon scales and wings, but he is by no means without power.

Even without a sword, he can kill with authority.

"My name is Bai Yu and my courtesy name is Yu Jing."

"The Great Xia Jiaoyang is also the head of the Shence Palace of the Shenwu Division."

"In all Daxia territories, under the canonization, the blazing sun will be the leader."

"I have the right to participate in many affairs of the ten divisions of Daxia."

He stared at the knight commander and cardinal, and his words were clear and awe-inspiring.

"Do you need me to write you a letter of introduction to the Daxia Museum?"
