Chapter 480： Nuncio II

"Honorable Messenger, I disagree with your words!"

Seeing that the envoy from the Holy See was going to negotiate, King Collins was very emotional. He stood up angrily, with his chest puffed out and his eyes round.

Then he said in a loud voice: "We have waited with the utmost patience for the coastal countries to change their minds, but our patience and concessions have resulted in repeated humiliations. Now is the last moment, and we are retreating to the cliff At the edge of the moment, if we take another step back, we will inevitably fall below the cliff, and the glory of the Lord of Light will also fall from the glorious sky to the dark bottomless abyss."

Hearing what King Collins said, the envoy of the Holy See, Leadbetter, almost couldn't control his emotions, and wanted to spray back on the spot—fuck your **** patience and concession.

He really wanted to ask Segovia II.

you! And your archbishop Elvis, can your actions be called patience and concession?

The main purpose of the witch hunting movement should be to keep people vigilant against witchcraft at all times, and it should be based on education and vigilance—not endless burning of people.

This kind of thing pays attention to a degree, enough is enough, why should it be expanded again and again.

A good Jiaowan, the former trade transfer station, a bustling place known to everyone, has now been turned into a mess by you, no matter whether it is a foreign businessman or a local businessman, everyone is in danger and keeps silent.

Which country along the coast does not depend on trade for food? Now that you have ruined his job, can he not fight you hard?

Just expand the scope a little bit, who told you to touch those nobles in power? Good guy, you dare to arrest the wife and sister of the Grand Duke of Eaton, don't you know that even the Holy See has been carefully handling the relationship with the powerful nobles?

Your so-called patience and concessions are nothing more than ultimatums again and again, which are clearly serious provocations in the eyes of others.

He used a bossy tone at every turn, and a condescending attitude at every turn, which made anyone feel uncomfortable after seeing it.

In fact, the current pope doesn’t want to engage in any witch hunts at all. After thousands of years of suppression, magic and witchcraft have long become country legends. Occasional sporadic reports, most of them are often true. Suspect.

Of course, as the group of people who hold the most secrets in the Holy See, the Pope and the high-level officials are still very clear about the fact that witchcraft does exist, and they also know that there are quite a few witchcraft hidden in the corners of the world. manipulator.

However, as long as those witchcraft operators stay in the corner obediently all their lives and wear their masks obediently all their lives, His Majesty the Pope does not want to take the effort to find them out and clean them up. The total loss caused by human beings is much greater than that of witchcraft, and human beings have no way to wipe out the rats and locusts.

If any wizard who is not open-eyed dares to jump out and cause trouble, let the nearby Inquisition handle it quietly and control the scope of the situation.

The fewer people who know about it, the easier it will be for the church to deal with, and the more people who know about it, the more troublesome it will be for the church to deal with.

How good is it to maintain a tacit understanding like this?

But doing it with such fanfare like Elvis, I'm afraid that others don't know what it means?

In the past, those witchcraft operators fought alone, and lone wolves were easy to deal with. Now under such high pressure, they will inevitably form an organization to deal with the threat of the church. It will be very troublesome for wolves to deal with it .

However, the Pope cannot clearly oppose the actions of the Jiaowan Church, because the denial of witchcraft is one of the principles of the Holy See, and rashly ordering the Jiaowan Church to stop its spontaneous witch hunting will cause ideological confusion among churches across the mainland, and even Will shake the authority of the Holy See.

After Elvis launched the movement in Jiaowan, the Pope could only send several groups of people to "instruct" the Jiaowan Church on how to distinguish the difference between wizards and ordinary people, and try their best to avoid harming ordinary innocent people.

However, as if there was some black hand behind the scenes, the situation always rose rapidly after leveling off—of course, the religious fanaticism of the local church headed by Elvis, which almost abandoned all rationality, provided the basis for the repeated situation. hotbed.

Now the most worrying thing for the Holy See has happened. The expansion of witch hunting has aroused the resentment of the secular regime and the people. People will doubt the church’s motives for doing so, and then shake the dominance of the Church of the Lord of Light in the field of human thought.

well!

Leadbetter sighed inwardly.

Although he really wanted to express his dissatisfaction, as an envoy of the Holy See, he still had to maintain the necessary self-restraint, and of course it was impossible to make a scene like this.

He said, "Your Majesty Segovia II!"

However, before he could continue speaking, he was interrupted by Elvis who was sitting at the top.

"Okay! Stop arguing."

His beard trembled slightly, as if he was restraining his emotions with great strength.

"I agree with His Excellency Leadbetter's opinion, let him make an effort for the peace of Jiaowan. But..."

His vision became cloudy, very inconsistent with his status as an archbishop.

"This is really the last time. If the coastal countries cannot immediately return to the glory of the Lord of Light, then they can only wait for the wrath of the Lord of Light!"

After finishing speaking, the archbishop left the crowd and walked away.

Segovia II glanced at Leadbetter dissatisfied also stood up and left.

Leadbetter bid farewell to everyone, and also left his seat and got up to his own residence.

All the important people in the meeting left, and the rest also left in twos and threes.

Cardinal Anthony, who was the special envoy of the Holy See together with Leadbetter, stood up in a hurry and chased Leadbetter.

Anthony caught up with Leadbetter and walked side by side with him.

He lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency Leadbetter, is it really necessary to go this way? I feel that it won't help."

Leadbetter also lowered his voice and replied: "To be honest, I don't have too much hope for this trip. But I still have to go."

Anthony asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"The most important thing is to show your attitude, draw a line between the Holy See and the Jiaowan Church, and let others know that we are us and they are them. Even if the Holy See is finally dragged into the war by the Jiaowan Church, we must Reserve a channel for subsequent negotiations."

"Negotiations? If the Holy See...we end up in person, can't we guarantee victory over those businessmen?"

Leadbetter shook his head: "If I were a general, with the strength of the Holy See, I believe that I will have the confidence to win, but I am also a diplomat now, and I must be prepared for all possibilities. Even if it is infinitely possible to approach zero."
