In the early morning, Pontiff was woken up by a judge, feeling very unhappy that someone was disturbing his sleep. Just as he wanted to reprimand him, he heard the official say: "Pontiff, the child woke up."
The Pope raised his eyebrows and suppressed the excitement in his heart. "You want to disturb my rest just because of such a trivial matter?" I already knew this yesterday and told the Duke. Quickly go out and don't disturb my rest! "
The judge sincerely bowed towards the Pope and murmured, "You are truly worthy to be called the Pontiff. The illness that we were helpless against was easily cured by him …"
Pontiff was also very happy as he lay on his bed, secretly happy. Last night, he was still worrying about how to wake him up, but he never thought that he would wake up on his own! Right now, he was planning how to take this opportunity to obtain more benefits from Ji Ang.
The Demon Dragon stood beside his bed with a guilty look on his face. Ordinary had woken up early in the morning, and after waking up, he felt that his skill had improved by another level, but at the same time, he also felt that the Undead energy in his body had become one with the dark energy. He tried to summon the Dark Knight for a bit, but it was completely fine.
When his savior woke up, Ji Ang felt relieved. He announced that he would reward the three armies today, and tomorrow, he would pull out of camp to let Luowen lead the soldiers back to the stronghold of the Southern Mountain Pass. His harvest this time was huge, he wanted to return to the ancestral home to cultivate in seclusion to break through and become a genuine Holy Knight as soon as possible.
After that, Pontiff and his officials who had specially come over for a sumptuous feast were invited to serve as the meritorious general for the extermination of the devils.
When ordinary people saw Pontiff, Pontiff, who had originally wanted to be intimate with ordinary people, discovered that the way this child looked at him was very abnormal. Especially when he was introduced to the ordinary Master Cameron, and Pontiff used his Radiant Sacred Technique to wake him up, a trace of contempt actually flashed in his eyes.
As someone who could become a pope, his eyes were extremely sharp. He felt a chill in his heart when he saw the peculiar look in the eyes. He thought to himself, 'Could this child be unconscious?' He hurriedly coughed and interrupted Cameron's flattering: "Lord Palace Archmage, all of this is under the protection of the God of Light. This is the grace of the God, I did not contribute anything to it."
After everyone in the seats heard this, they praised, "As expected of the Pontiff, not saving credit, not being arrogant, being so devout, and being so modest!" The Pontiff glanced at the boy, who smirked coldly as he listened. This made him more resolute in his decision.
Ordinary and Mo Long, as the hero in charge of exterminating the devils, were arranged to be under his control. The three of them had basked in the ordinary glow, and their companions, as heroes, were also invited. This made the three of them extremely excited.
During the banquet, Pontiff showed his most sincere smile and began to chat with the people around him. He did not dare to lower his guard against this important figure, and certainly did not dare to commit the crime openly. After all, the power of the Light Holy See was extremely great in the continent, and if he was offended, then it would be difficult for him to move even a single inch in the continent in the future.
The more Pontiff chatted, the happier he became, he realised that this young man who was quiet in front of him was too much for his taste. Although he did not talk much, and he only spoke a few words during the day, his words would often hit the nail on the head, causing Pontiff to have a feeling of familiarity towards ordinary people.
However, the Pope felt a headache coming on. He had never met such a cunning fellow before. When he arrived here, he had heard that ordinary people used extremely terrifying methods to cure Duke Ji Ang, and as he listened to the Priests' narration of the story, the Pontiff felt both disgusted and extremely curious about the ordinary methods. Thus, he wanted to take a look at the ordinary details and see who exactly had taught him such an outstanding young man.
At the same time, he was also very arrogant. If he encountered a question he did not want to answer, he would not say it out loud, and no matter how extravagant your words were, he would remain indifferent, nagging him for half a day without taking anything out of his mouth. This made Pontiff suspect that the fellow in front of him was a dragon that had also transformed, a Netherwyrm that had escaped from the Underworld!
However, due to the ordinary manner in which he spoke, the Pope suddenly felt that this fellow was more suited to be the Pope than he was. He was more suited to be a godly person. With that thought in mind, the Pontiff passionately invited Xian Pingfan to the Holy Church as a guest.
Was this some kind of joke? His half-tone Necromancer running to the Light Holy See as a guest was no different from a fat chicken running to a wolf's house!
This made him feel extremely strange, and he couldn't help but ask: "Pontiff, I think I am just an insignificant person, and to be honest, I do not believe in the God of Light that you speak of. Could it be that you have some unspeakable motive for inviting me to the Church so passionately? Or do you want the Inquisition to convict me? "
The Pope said in all seriousness: "Young Mr. Mage trainee, you guessed right. I did indeed have a hidden motive to invite you to Light Holy See, but it will not harm you in the slightest, and it will also benefit you greatly."
The Pope nodded to him solemnly. He had not expected this fellow to take off his Divine Staff coat so easily. He could only helplessly say: "Alright, Pontiff, I will consider this matter."
After the feast, he came to see if there were any more parasites in's body. At the same time, he pretended to check on Ji Ang as he casually chatted with him.
Through their conversation, secretly frowned. This man was an absolute traditionalist, everything that was not traditional was seen as treason by him, and it was also in terms of protection of the door and the classes. He had almost reached a stubborn point, which was common among the common nobles, but Ji Ang's condition was much worse than theirs.
Although Ji Ang sympathized with the commoners and even felt the same amount of pity towards the slaves, it was still not from the bottom of his heart. It was more like a kind of charity from a noble master, a type of cheap charity from a high and mighty family.
"Duke, according to what I know, the inheritance of your clan is not going smoothly. You only have one son up until now, why do you want to take more wives?" Ordinary had secretly used an enchantment technique to test the waters.
It was different from the bewitching arts used by the Necromancer in this world, where they would not leave any traces behind after the event. Ordinary people had used their Innate Qi to secretly stimulate Ji Ang's heart when he was checking his body, allowing him to speak out the truest thoughts in his heart.
Ji Ang said: "My young friend, as a man, I naturally want to take a few more wives to grander my family. But there are very few real noble daughters who are willing to be concubines for others, and those marriage unions that are out of political interest are strictly prohibited by my family. Thus, up until now, I only have one lady."
"Oh, then you haven't tried to find the daughters of a few commoners. As far as I know, the daughters of commoners are very prolific."
Yes, I have a few concubines in addition to my wife. They are all commoners or from declining families. It's a pity that they haven't given birth to any descendants for me." Ji Ang shook his head and sighed, "But more than ten years ago, there was a servant girl who was pregnant with my child. However, she was once pregnant with my child, but unfortunately, she was a servant girl.
His eyes became hazy for a moment, then he immediately regained his senses: "Hey! So be it! This is good too, otherwise, if you let a child with a commoner's bloodline take over the position of duke in the family, this will shame my noble Ji Family and bloodline! " Ji Ang said as he let out a deep breath.
When Ordinary heard this, his eyes flashed with a cold light. At that time, he was so angry that the two suns burned with anger, and because of the rage filling his chest, he didn't see the faint sadness on Duke Ryan's face.
Suppressing the rage in his heart, he said indifferently: "Congratulations Duke, you have fully recovered. I will take my leave now."
Ji Ang was still immersed in his emotions, he did not detect the coldness in his tone, and when he came back to his senses, Normal had already left the large tent.
It seemed that it was very difficult for him to let his mother have a good home. He didn't ask Ji Ang so much today just for his own sake, he and the noble duke, who didn't care much about dog shit, had completely thought of his mother and wanted her to obtain the approval of the Ji Family. It was normal for him to see that his mother had buried a very deep love in the heart of the bastard who raped her, but now he was disappointed.
He seemed to be planning something, and with a slight cough, the Pope raised his head and said with a smile, "Ah, praise the God of Light. I, as a young hero, did not expect to meet you here."
He nodded to him and asked, "Pontiff, what has brought you here personally?"
The Pope said, "Tomorrow, the imperial army will be withdrawn. I have to prepare to return to the Church, so I came to bid my farewells to the Duke."
"Pontiff, is it true that you came here to fake the departure for the benefits?" Ordinary leaned over and said in a low voice.
The Pope coughed lightly and said, "My young hero, God of Light said that the people of God also need to eat, so …"
He interrupted him and said, "Pontiff, I have a way to let you earn a fortune, but you have to promise me that after we settle this matter, we will split it fifty-fifty."
The Pope's eyes lit up as he asked, "What method?"
Pingfan said, "Fifty cents. If you promise, I'll tell you."
The Pope insisted, "Tell me your plan first. I want to hear how many benefits you can reap."
The Pope's eyes widened after hearing that. He looked at him in shock and said, "God of Light, you are too scary. You can even think of such a sinister plan? However, my child, your heart is filled with greed and desire. You only need to move your mouth to get fifty percent … This is something that God forbids, so I can only give you ten percent at the most. "
"Hurry up and drop it, don't always put the gods on your lips. I believe that even you don't believe in their existence! Let's take a step back, I want at least 40%, then I'll give 10% to that God of Light. " She spoke to the Pope mercilessly.
The Pope said angrily: "Don't spout nonsense, you defile the gods, God of Light will punish you! 20% at most. After getting the items, I still have to spend manpower and materials to move the goods to another place. This will also cost a lot. "
He just snorted and said, "It's such a pity that you don't want to be a businessman. Thirty percent! If that's not possible, then forget it, I can give you advice so that you won't be able to take a single steel plate! "
"Deal!" The Pope agreed immediately.
Therefore, when the Imperial Army left on the second day, Ji Ang ordered the soldiers to leave behind all their weapons, armors and even clothing. This was because the Pontiff had said that all of these things had been contaminated by the Undead Curtain, and were even filled with life forms called bacteria.
Of course, they paid much attention to the king's words. After finding a few white bugs on the soldiers' armor with the crystal balls, they believed even more deeply in his words. Of course, the food supplies they brought were also left behind due to the "contamination".
When they left, the Pontiff ordered his men to surround the entire army camp. His men brought large bundles of firewood back to the camp, making Ji Ang feel extremely touched.
Pontiff ordered the people in the open ground to ignite the fire so that the smoke would rise up. He then said to Yue Yang: "My friend, you are really too crazy, you must be a demon. You lured me away from the teachings of God and told me a lie.
"Respected Pontiff, the beautiful music produced by the clash of gold coins will allow your heart and enthusiasm to be at peace. Furthermore, your God of Light also said that money can help one become a god. Although this world is not omnipotent, it is impossible to have money! " Ordinary coldly said.
"Did God of Light say that? How come I didn't know... But it seems to make a lot of sense! " The pope was tricked by Pingfan.
Looking at the mountain of food, armor and weapons in front of him, Pontiff felt a bit of lingering fear. This was a hundred thousand yuan worth of equipment and supplies. However, he calmed down when he saw the calmness on his face.
"My young friend, there is something I would like to ask you. Why would you do that? "From what I know, nearly half of the military expenditures of the Empire's various armies were paid for by the controller of the various armies. In other words, half of the supplies were purchased using the Ji Family. As he spoke, the Pope shot an ambiguous look at the ordinary man.
The ordinary expression became even colder as he coldly said: "Pontiff, you can eat whatever you want and you can't say whatever you want. Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble!"
The Pope made up his mind. He put on an innocent face and said, "Oh, my friend, I didn't say anything!"
The Pope asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go up the mountain and see if there's any treasures left behind by the Necromancer." He answered truthfully.
After hearing it, the Pope felt a chill run down his spine, and made a praying gesture, "God of Light, please forgive this crazy and greedy fellow. Even such an evil thing can't stop his greed! However, there might really be treasures in Necromancer, and that cheap guy is really enviable! " Pontiff swallowed his saliva as he looked at the ordinary back view far away.
Ordinary had said that he was here to find treasures, but in reality, there was nothing here anymore. All of it had been burned by him. The reason he came here, was to study the Necromancer's Mage Tower.
The Necromancer's Mage Tower was different from the other mages's. Their Mage Tower could be moved, and even be alive, and was a part of their body's transformation, just like those houses in fairy tales where burning the Princess's hair to provide energy allowed one to run around. This was their source of power and their second life. One of the main reasons why Ordinary was able to kill him so dangerously was because he had accidentally destroyed his second life and source of power.
With this Mage Tower of Murphy Stow's, it was made from a part of his brain, which contained rich knowledge and great strength. If he did not want to stay here any longer, he could use the Undead Magic to bestow upon his Mage Tower the ability to move, and this "brain" would be able to fly under the drive of the Undead Magic.
After looking through the design of this place, he praised it greatly. He thought that if he could get this kind of Mage Tower from that Underground King City, then he would be invincible. The size of the underground palace was ten thousand times larger than this Mage Tower. If he were to use his own strength to drive it, he would at least be ten thousand times stronger than Necromancer Murphy Stow.
After leaving this place and returning to the army camp, the Pope excitedly said, "My young friend, we have finished counting. I was just about to go find Lord of Thorn City to discuss this business, do you want to come with me?"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Let's go together, it just so happens that I have my own debts to settle with Lord of Thorn City!"
