The Great Conqueror
Chapter 224: Summoned by the Pope (Part 1)
As soon as Thomas said that, Zou Liang understood that Auricia remembered him, but she no longer had the feeling of the past. Zou was not a pure boy, and he would not seek death. The slight sadness in his heart could only be buried.
If it was because of family pressure, Zou Liang was not afraid of anything, but if Auricia didn't like him, it would be a little hurt.
Unable to figure it out, Zou Liang had no choice but to press down and take one step at a time. A good man has his ambitions in all directions. At any rate, he has passed the test of the road to heaven and wants to do great things.
"Arthur, don't be affected. It is very important to meet His Majesty the Pope tomorrow. It determines your life. You must appear in your best condition!"
Thomas said earnestly.
"Master, don't worry, I have seriousness in my heart."
Back in his room, Zou Liang hugged Qiuqiu, and the little Qiuqiu danced wildly with its paws, gesticulating constantly. Zou Liang knew that it missed Auricia.
Touching Qiuqiu's head, he was speechless. He even hoped that the Gabriel family had used some method to make Oricia lose his memory, so he could still think of a way, and he didn't want to keep all the indifference.
The next day, Zou Liang was full of energy. He was no longer a child. He returned to this world and was still alive, not just for himself. He had brothers and friends and his own ideals.
Zou Liang has seen the extravagant expectations of the Pope's Palace here, which has reached an indescribable level. This is not only the Pope of this generation, but also the accumulation of several generations, making this place the most glorious place in Mengjia.
But Zou Liang didn't have the time to appreciate this, he had to play his role well, follow Thomas, and listen to Subaru and Bot chatting inconsequentially in front.
Finally came to a spacious hall with carved railings and jade carvings, the whole is full of coercion, this kind of building forms a very strong coercion, and the builder is quite amazing.
When Subaru and Thomas bowed their heads respectfully, Zou Liang raised his head boldly and saw the old pope on the high seat.
I have to say that this person has a domineering aura that I have after being in power for a long time. This is completely different from force, it is another level.
"Arthur, don't be too polite!"
"Your Majesty the Pope, long live long live long live!"
Only then did Zou Liang suddenly realize, and he said silently in his heart, ten thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces, a dead old man who dares to be worshiped by Lao Tzu will surely break your lifespan.
"Hehe, Subaru, young people are free to do whatever they want. Besides, the priest of the beast god glory does not need to salute. Come and give me a seat."
Usually when seeing the Pope, they shouted the glory of the beast god. How could they meet such a sycophant who directly said long live the Pope, but he couldn’t help that Bill was still a young man, but he felt very frank when he said this, which made Benedict XV, who was used to hearing all kinds of horses, very happy. He looked at Arthur carefully. He was not very strong, but there was a stubbornness in his bones.
"Subaru, you have made outstanding achievements since you took charge of Shenyao Province. Although you only ranked third in this enshrinement, your overall evaluation is very high."
Pope smiled slightly and turned to Subaru.
The eight major shamans guard the eight major provinces, and they also comment on their merits every year. The age of each pope is limited, and Benedictine will come to an end sooner or later. When he finally ascends the throne, he will be evaluated in three aspects. One is the recommendation of the previous pope, the second is the number of times he has won the best temple, and the third is of course the support of the Senate.
But the most important thing is still the first two points, and the two are interrelated. Even if the Pope dies, he hopes to train his own successor, at least he can take good care of his descendants. If he offends the Pope, he still wants to be the Pope. To strike a balance, at least before he confirms his successor, he will definitely do so, not only to create a gap, but also not to make other shaman lose hope, so this honor is equivalent to the best shaman, and it is also the most fierce competition among shamans.
After accumulating advantages and building a good relationship with the Pope, it is possible for the new Pope to become the new Pope.
When it comes to the position of shaman, there are no pigs who don't want to be the pope, but there is a standard in it. Companion to a king is like a tiger, and the power of heaven is unpredictable.
There was no change on Subaru's face, "Under the leadership of His Majesty, some achievements should be made."
Benedict XV nodded, and didn't say much. At this level, he stopped, "How does it feel for Thomas to be the high priest in red?"
"heavy responsibility!"
Thomas said respectfully, talk less and listen more, he is not Arthur, he is not young, and if he makes a mistake, there is no chance of turning back.
Benedict XV nodded, "In the future, you will have to look farther. A city is different from a province."
"Follow His Majesty's instructions."
Thomas didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
Classmate Zou looked curiously at the Pope and everything around him, and when the Pope saw him, his eyes softened a lot.
"Arthur, I have heard your name many times in the imperial capital."
Benedict XV looked at this fidgety Bill boy, and he felt a good feeling in his heart. He was so stupid, and he couldn't help but think of himself when he was young.
Zou Liang scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I like to make trouble everywhere."
Benedict XV smiled kindly, "Young people need to be aggressive, as long as they stick to principles, don't be afraid of offending others."
"Haha, when I hear someone slandering the Holy See, I can't help but get angry. I dare to fight any engraver or consul who dares to blaspheme the beast god!"
Zou Liang said bluntly.
"Arthur, don't talk nonsense." Thomas whispered.
The Holy See is no longer what it used to be, and even they are inconvenient to say that. After all, Mengjia is a democratic and co-governed empire, and Zou Liang is the first one to speak so loudly in front of the Pope.
Benedict XV couldn't help laughing loudly. Everyone knows some things well. Everyone wants to kill each other, but they all keep it in their hearts. This little Bill is very courageous. He has spoken the pope's heart. Power is endless. As the pope, Benedict certainly wants to restore the glorious era of the Holy See. But even Mengjia couldn't completely call the shots.
"You are very courageous, aren't you afraid that they will trouble you?"
Both Subaru and Thomas broke into a cold sweat. Before the boy came, he had told him to keep his mouth shut, but in the end he really dared to say anything, so it would be okay to spread it like this.
"Don't be afraid, I just see the engraver's guild being arrogant and domineering for profit. Guilds like this should be brought under the management of the Holy See, so that they can better serve the empire!"
Zou Liang said indifferently, he really did what Lengtouqing did to the end.
"Very good, the boy has ambitions, but you can't talk nonsense outside, work hard, bring out your talents, and spread the teachings, there is a long way to go!"
The Pope smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I spoke so freely. The Senate is just a stage, and a group of people wear masks to talk nonsense all day long, but this is a political struggle, and the comparison is vicious. The era when the world was won by force is gone.
After all, Subaru and Thomas are both from Mengjia, and they have been cautious for many years. They are not as good at grasping the situation as Zou Liang.
"Thomas, you have taken in a good apprentice. This shows that you are good at teaching. Young people will inevitably be impulsive when they see injustice. They should be educated, but they should not be bullied by outsiders. This is no longer a matter of one person, but it is related to the prestige of the Holy See."
"Follow Your Majesty's instruction." Thomas replied respectfully.
He didn't dare to be as casual as Zou Liang. The Pope tolerated Zou Liang, but it didn't mean that other people could follow suit.
Subaru saw that the fire was coming, and stood up, "Your Majesty, this kid Arthur is usually very hardworking. He recently invented a new engraving technique, which will definitely set off a storm. I'm afraid some people in the engraving masters' guild will not be able to sleep."
"Oh?" The Pope's eyes lit up, "Let me see."
Without the slightest hesitation, Zou Liang took out his shield directly. Suddenly, a strong light flashed in the Pope's eyes, and Bot's dim eyes at the side also became kind and bright.
"Your Majesty, this is Arthur's latest mosaic technique, which can bring out the special attributes of high-grade monsters!"
Benedict XV looked at Zou Liang, "How did you come up with this idea?"
Zou Liang scratched his head, "I like to be bored in the room and think wildly. At first, I thought it would be good to use the attributes of monsters, but it turned out like this. The battle data of monsters cannot be applied, but their special attributes can be inherited."
"Haha, good, good, good!" The Pope said three times in succession. In the struggle of the Council of Elders, the most annoying thing for Benedict XV was the cooperation between the Soul Carver Guild and the Consul. He had to catch a serious injury, or it would collapse.
Although Zou Liang's stats are superb, it's just a white outfit, which doesn't have much value in the eyes of the strong, and the fact that the white outfit has good stats doesn't mean that he will have wonderful performances in the future.
"How did you get this Fish Dragon Pill?" Bot asked suddenly.
The Pope glanced at Bott. He rarely asked questions out of the blue, and this young man actually aroused his interest.
"Luck, luck, it's like this, I participated in a trial..."
Zou Liang changed it a little bit, but most of it was reality, so he told about his lucky encounter in the field of fish and dragons, and also mentioned Qiuqiu.
The Pope and the others were all dumbfounded, and with such a thrilling experience, this kid's luck is really extremely good.
"So you gave that little monster to Auricia, haha, you dare to grab my beard." The pope laughed, finally knowing the origin of the ball.
Bot smiled and said nothing, and nodded, this child can be hated even if he wants to, he is spiritual, pious by nature, and has good talent.
Not everyone can have a brainstorm. What he calls random thoughts are all epiphanies.
