Eastern Continent, the royal capital.
Although I still don’t know exactly what I missed.
But Xu Shuo thought about it carefully.
There was no such feeling of palpitations or discomfort, so he did some metaphysics, put this matter aside for the time being, and planned to deal with the problems in the royal capital first.
Xu Shuo took out his usual sun crown, put it on and prepared to leave the underground temple.
"You're still wearing it. I feel like it doesn't matter whether you hide your identity or not now. Is it really convenient for you to see the road while wearing it?" Zuo Fang couldn't help complaining.
"Yeah." Xu Shuo responded casually.
In fact, not all the sun crowns of the Illuminating Popes in the past covered their eyes.
This is a special case of the Pope of Light in this generation.
Because his vision was blurred, when the sky darkened at night, things tended to be almost completely dark. Only by focusing the power of light on his pupils could he see things clearly with the help of the light in front of him.
Moreover, if you want to see other colors during the day, you also need to rely on the power of faith of the Holy See of Light, so the Pope is mobilizing the power in his body almost all the time.
Although the light power is not obvious.
But if a careful person observes, it is still possible to detect this change.
Therefore, when he was an ordinary clergyman, the cautious Pope almost never went out at night.
Although when he became the Pope of Light.
He doesn't seem to go out much.
But at least I can look at things openly.
Because the Pope of Light didn't want people to know about his eye problems, he simply used the sun crown representing faith to block it together, so that even if he frequently used the power of light, he would not be noticed.
By the way, you can also hide your true face.
…
When Xu Shuo walked out of the underground temple.
I saw Princess Theresa standing there in the hall of the castle.
She was surrounded by busy Vatican staff, and the gorgeous dress she wore before had also faded away. She was probably wearing a simple simple dress underneath like Xu Shuo. At this time, she was standing in the hall looking into the distance in a cool riding suit.
At this time, Princess Teresa seemed to have noticed the movement at the exit of the temple, and quickly turned her head to look.
Then the moment he saw Xu Shuo.
Princess Teresa showed just the right complex expression, one part awe, two parts respect, three parts enthusiasm and four parts attachment.
Zuo Fang suddenly paused.
Then the corner of his mouth twitched: "Are your love debts too much?"
Xu Shuo retorted: "It's not mine."
It's obviously the Pope's own.
Perhaps there was something wrong with the little girl's education, which ultimately led to Princess Teresa's feelings for the Pope being a bit complicated.
And it seems to be very obvious now.
So much so that this player also saw it.
If it's not obvious, then of course the character card has been activated.
"His Majesty the Pope."
Princess Teresa greeted him eagerly.
At this moment, the princess who was so heroic just now transformed into a pure and loving girl, looking at him with a pair of watery eyes.
Xu Shuo finally saw it.
This player is very passionate about earning deduction points.
It doesn't look like putting it on the left. …
I'm too lazy to act next to him.
Of course, if there are many people, he will still put on a show.
Just like now.
Zuo Fang immediately took a step forward, stretched out a hand, and blocked Princess Teresa who wanted to get closer to Xu Shuo with a solemn face. He looked serious and selfless.
Princess Teresa naturally stopped wisely.
As a pawn placed by the Holy See in the royal family of San Varo, Princess Teresa was lucky enough to see the true face of the Pope of Light.
Naturally, he also knew who the people around the Pope were.
What's more, the large teleportation magic circle in her castle was set up personally by the chief knight of the Knights of the Sun.
Therefore, she glanced at Zuo Fang calmly. After confirming his identity, Princess Teresa's eyes fell on Catalina again.
Then he looked briefly to show courtesy.
Catalina felt an inexplicable hostility.
Princess Teresa seemed to want to say something to the Pope of Light, but after Xu Shuo appeared, the Overlord who had been waiting for him quickly came over.
The priests have been busy dealing with matters in the royal capital.
The Holy See occupied the royal capital faster than they imagined, and after the turmoil stopped, various things that required problems followed.
Comforting the ordinary people in the royal capital is the second priority.
The bishops of the Holy See have been dispatched, not only to comfort people's hearts, but also to provide intensive treatment to some injured ordinary people, and then carry out subtle missionary operations.
These matters can be easily accomplished by clergymen above the priest level.
More troublesome.
They were the nobles stranded in the royal capital, members of the San Valo royal family, and those prisoners of war from the Imperial Army.
For the coronation of the new king, many foreign nobles were deceived into coming to the royal capital to watch the coronation ceremony. Some nobles may have sensed something unusual, so they made preparations to retreat in advance, but some nobles were completely ignorant and were roped in as cannon fodder.
The latter's identity obviously has no real power.
Then came the arrangements for the prisoners of war between the Saint Valo royal family and the Imperial Army.
"We don't want any prisoners of war."
Regarding this situation, Xu Shuo only said a few words.
The castle study temporarily dismissed the other people. Only three archbishops came from the priesthood to discuss matters, while the remaining people dealt with other matters outside.
Someone was stunned when he heard this and was about to open his mouth to say something.
Xu Shuo continued: "We don't need people from the Saint Vallo royal family here."
"Pfft!"
The man choked on his own saliva.
Everything he wanted to say was choked back.
Xu Shuo glanced at him casually.
The archbishop on the left quickly answered: "Your Holiness, this is not possible. Although the descendants of the Saint Varro royal family are of no use to us, if we are merciless to them, the people may have objections. This will be detrimental to our Holy See in the mainland. Getting a foothold creates hindrance.”
Imperial prisoners of war were a minor matter, but the royal family of St. Valo must not exterminate them all.
Xu Shuo propped his head on his elbows and said quietly: "Then we will take them to the Gate of Pallas. The royal family who have sworn allegiance to the Holy See in public can stay, and the others will be killed as a warning."
"Your Holiness..." The exarch who was choked by saliva recovered. …
"You can bury it secretly." Xu Shuo crossed his right leg impatiently.
"..."
The Pope has retreated again and again.
The three bishops looked at each other, unable to continue to persuade each other on this matter.
not to mention.
During the coronation ceremony, the two princes launched a rebellion; Walder XVIII took the initiative to provoke a dispute with the Pope of Light, broke the peace on the mainland, and fled, abandoning the entire people of the royal capital and the royal heirs - this kind of thing It has been spread out by the Holy See with added fuel and jealousy.
The royal family of Saint-Varro is so ignorant and incompetent.
As the faith that guides the hearts of all living beings, the God of Light decided to impose sanctions on him!
The San Valo Empire no longer needs to exist.
"That's so high-sounding..."
After the priests left, Catalina dared to complain in a low voice.
The ice elves are different.
When they invaded the human continent, they came to seize your territory, that is to say, they came to seize your territory.
In addition to the fight for human faith...
Xu Shuo ignored this double standard elf.
After understanding through the Priests Association that the situation in the royal capital was relatively stable, he turned to Zuo Fang and said, "Bring that person here, and I'll see if I can ask anything."
Zuo Fang nodded: "Okay."
After he turned around and left, he returned not long after with a half-dead man covered in blood.
…
