The Oitin Empire, the border area. Bright Church.
Churches in such border towns often do not meet the specifications of Guangming Church. For example, the steps in front of the door are less than specified, the cross is a little rusty, the statues are dusted, and the carved glass is damaged in some places.
This is inevitable. After all, if people can't even fill their stomachs, they often forget what their beliefs are. For the average person, physical torture is more terrifying than mental torture.
The Pope of Illumination stands under the cross of the church, which is of special significance to him. He was baptized in this church and became a priest. He is not an old-fashioned person, but suddenly remembered this place the day before yesterday, so he moved the idea of looking back here. Only few people know his whereabouts.
When he returned here, he learned that the priest who baptized him was dead, not old, but sunk into the bottom of the river because of blasphemy against the Pope. After inquiring carefully, he learned that the priest claimed that the contemporary pope was baptized by him. Such rebellious remarks have constituted a felony, so he was sunk according to the scriptures. He didn't float up from the river, which indicated that the God of Light had abandoned him, so he was lying.
Standing under the cross, the pope recalled the gentle smile of the priest. He thought he was never old, but then he found that he hadn't forgotten the memory of the past.
Then the pope frowned slightly.
The lights in the hall were dim and mottled. When they walked in, they didn't pay attention, and they were dressed in black as if they had melted into the darkness. The person in the lead chose a chair in the corner and stretched out his hands casually. The person behind immediately took off his black coat for him. Then he took off the black top hat on his head and put it on the table. When he sat down, the people behind had already filled him with **** wine.
"I hope you forgive me for my rudeness, the Pope is crowned." Hill said.
"You are not here in person, so I can't do anything without forgiving." The Pope Guangming said with his back to him.
Hill smiled slightly: "Use soul spells to manipulate human puppets and turn them into disposable items. I'm afraid this method will make you disgusted by the pope's crown."
"Since you are a demon, I won't be surprised by any evil means you use." The pope turned around and said.
Hill—or the puppet controlled by Hill took a sip of the wine with a strong **** smell. In this state, Hill could only feel the vague taste: "But you, as a human evil means, often surprises me. "
"Is it from the devil?" said the pope, "interesting."
"An excuse from the pope?" Hill said, "boring."
The Pope was not angry. He looked down at the light and shadow swaying under his feet: "Then, what are you here for? Just tell me that there is your spy next to me, so that you can instantly know what I am doing?"
"This is one of them." Hill shook his finger. "There are indeed my spies by your side, and they are very close to you. That's why I can always be one step ahead to calmly resolve all your moves."
This is a dangerous but fierce game.
Hill seemed to be pointing directly at Teresa, and in this case the pope must first think of Teresa.
So is Theresa safe? -Of course it is safe.
Because Hill had previously ordered Teresa not to have any contact with this side, allowing Teresa to do things for the Pope sincerely. Today, this command came in handy. The Pope went back and tried to investigate the people around him. No matter how much he investigates Teresa, he is innocent.
Those games at the time were all resolved by Hill's tricks. There is no need for an insider to deal with the pope's moves.
Some lichens grow on the floor of the church, and spider webs can even be vaguely seen in the corners. The dust hanging on it looks shaky by the wind, but in fact it is firmly stuck by the spider webs.
"Second, I want to confirm one thing with you." Hill said.
"Please speak." said the pope.
"Will you prevent me from meeting King Oytin alone?" Hill asked with a deep smile on his face.
The pope thought for a second and then replied: "No."
"why?"
With an unpredictable smile on the pope's face: "Because how do you know that I did not arrange your separate meeting?"
Hill burst into laughter instantly when he heard it. Yes, yes, it's really fun to play games with smart people. He stood up directly and poured the wine in the glass onto the candlestick over there, and the flame of the candlestick swelled up, making Hill's face instantly bright, and he looked like a ghost:
"The third point, your daughter Alice is in my hands now."
The Pope's face changed for the first time.
Hill burst into laughter again, his crazy laughter echoed in the small church, and black mist continued to emerge from his body, then turned into a human corpse and fell to the ground. The entourage behind him has also become human corpses.
The devilish spirit in the church is soaring, and the pope's face is blue.
02.
All the evidence seems to point to Teresa Shelley, but the Pope of Light knows that it is not him who betrayed him. He had been suspicious of Teresa before, so he has been under strict surveillance that he didn't know about since last year.
What's more, the evidence itself was given to him by the wicked Demon King, so it was even less credible.
After much thinking, Pope Illuminati came to the conclusion: The Demon King was afraid of Teresa, and he wanted to get rid of him through the hands of the Pope.
But at the same time, the Pope also understood that someone beside him had betrayed his news. Putting his daughter's matter aside, nothing else. The fact that the Demon King was able to find him directly in this church this time meant that someone had leaked his whereabouts. .
So, who is this person?
Not many people know his move this time. Apart from a few loyal men around him, there is also King Oytin.
Pope Bright squinted suddenly.
In theory, he was less convinced that King Oytin would betray than Theresa.
Since King Oytin was born, he began to train him, coupled with various methods of brainwashing, manipulation and torture.
It is precisely because he believes that King Oytin, who has been trained in this way, will not cause trouble—he specially pretended to give him a chance, and then cruelly shattered his hopes and destroyed the things he cared about. , King Oytin was obedient-so in the past two years, the Pope of Light did not pay much attention to him.
now…
No, this may also be the devil's strategy, and it needs to wait.
—But the seeds of doubt have been planted.
03.
As the month of friendship in Mülheim is approaching, Hill selected some interesting things in the Demon World Mall, and publicly initiated a visit request to the Oitin Empire in the name of communication. They quickly agreed—after all, Pope Illuminati had said that they did not object to their meeting alone—so Hill took a cart of gifts and swaggered into the holy city.
King Oytin was a little bit unsure, and then he heard Hill's very unkind request: He hoped that the private meeting would be held in the queen's palace.
Yu Li didn't agree-but after all, the queen has passed away, so in the eyes of others, this can only be called a strange request. King Oytin generally understood that the Demon King was trying to use his feelings for the queen as a weight to do something. He felt that he would not be shaken, so he agreed.
The wallpaper in the room is a vine pattern intertwined with dark green and light green, fresh and elegant. The mattress is a solid color, dark green, but it has not risen to the dark green level. The pillows are emerald green and pink. On the left side of the bed are two wooden frame paintings. The forest in the mist, and the other is a small town under the moonlight. .
On the left side of the table is a chic light blue crystal lamp, and on the other side is a stack of old books. Two crossed swords are hung above the mirror as decoration, and next to the window is the window. The curtains are tender green, consistent with the style of the entire room, which looks pleasing to the eye.
Hill walked into the room and said with emotion: "Your queen is very tasteful."
"Thank you," King Oytin said.
"Oh don't feel offended, I like men." Hill continued.
"Uh, okay." King Oytin was trying to keep up with Hill's thinking.
"But it seems that you will feel even more insecure after I say this." Hill continued.
"Uh..." King Oytin has seen a lot of wind and waves, but he has never seen such a situation.
Then Hill suddenly said something scary: "Do you know what your Majesty the King? The Pope of Light knows that I and you had noodles alone before."
King Oytin hadn't recovered from the topic just now, so he said "Uh" again.
"First of all, do you know that he knows about us meeting alone? Second, do you think I know that you know that he knows about us meeting alone?" Hill said.
King Oytin had to say: "Wait, what you said is a bit convoluted..."
Hill laughed again. If the pope were there, he would find that Hill’s laughter was very similar to his laughter in the chapel: "You don’t need to think about it. Let me talk about my thoughts first: you meet me. It was arranged by the Pope at that time."
King Oytin understood this sentence, and his voice was a little angry: "Are you doubting my sincerity for the queen!"
Hill smiled and looked away. The mirror on the dressing table was large, with intricate and exquisite carvings clinging to the edges. It was shiny and gorgeous, and it didn't match the other furnishings in the room—it looked like it was a gift. This was also given to his queen by King Oytin on his last birthday. Next to the mirror is a statue of an owl. It spreads its wings and is majestic—this is the emblem of the queen's family.
"Of course not." Hill said, "I don't doubt your sincerity for the queen, but this does not conflict with his plan for this meeting."
King Oytin frowned: "Do you think I was used by the Pope?"
Hill smiled silently.
King Oytin took the initiative and said: "Actually, I considered this possibility. After all, the situation in the Oytin Empire...you also know it."
"Yeah." Hill nodded, "I know. To be honest, you are quite capable. If you are in a normal empire, you are probably a qualified emperor. At least he is much better than Magnolia. But he has been here now. It's more moisturizing than you."
King Oytin did not speak, nor did he answer this question. After a few seconds, he continued: "The power I have on hand is also clear to the other party, but I don’t know how much power I have on hand is the other party’s power. But I am still the king of the Oytin Empire after all. This is my biggest bargaining chip against him."
"Maybe he can abolish you at any time, anyway, I think so, no matter how powerful your personal ability is, you are a puppet. He can easily hold you down as long as he announces that you have betrayed the church, or he can say that you are directly depressed because you miss the queen. And death is a success." Hill said this very rudely: "I am very interested in combining inside and outside, but obviously you are too weak. Weak to the point where I feel a little pity for you."
King Oytin breathed for a few seconds and said, "That's why...I need your help. With your help, I can develop some of my own forces, and then..." He was talking very mechanically at this time, as if The same as memorizing lines. Hill's unkind words just touched his heart.
"I need my help, I have some thoughts about your situation," Hill said.
"idea?"
"If I want to help you, I should give you money." Hill said.
This made King Oytin a little confused: "Give me the money?"
"Yes, even if you are a king, you don't have much money. I think most of them are controlled by the church." Hill replied.
"…Um."
"You use money to buy people, it's best to engage some desperadoes, and you promise them. You should cultivate your own power in places like the countryside, and it's best to start with the common people and confuse the concepts of theocracy and kingship."
Hill began to elaborate plans and write blueprints for King Oytin very carefully. This is not just a rhetoric, but a deliberate plan after some research, combined with some past experience.
"You have to remember that you can't do things that everyone understands. You see that I did opera and novels at the beginning, don't you understand? Do you think it is not a threat? Now?-By the end of the plan, the countryside surrounds the city and is armed Take power away. Perfect."
Hill snapped his fingers and looked very bright.
King Oytin was really stunned when he heard it, and was speechless for a while.
Hill saw more things in his expression. Sure enough, this matter itself was a conspiracy of the Pope. He ordered King Oytin to be a bait to bait him, for which he sacrificed Queen Oytin.
The king really loves the queen. Because there are too many real existences, this plan is nearly perfect.
It's a pity it's just close.
Hill walked over to King Oytin, leaned down in his ear and said in a gentle, bewitching voice: "Your queen and your power, which one do you love more? But with the Pope of Light, you are the one Can't hold it."
