Chapter 77
After returning to the temple, Baitang was still a little stunned. Although he had been intercepting the belief of the Goddess of Light for his own use, he had never had any thoughts of "seeking power and usurping the throne".
Although the Pope is the position with the most right to speak in the Holy See of Light, after all, it has something to do with the royal power in the secular world. In comparison, Lyle, the high priest who communicates with the gods, is more suitable to play a demagogue .
Baitang had considered the possibility of the old Pope passing on the throne to him, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, he took the throne before he had established a foundation among the believers, Baitang always felt that this was not quite right.
"Why are you frowning again? What problem did Li Ziwei give you?" After making sure that there was no one else in the temple, Xie Qiao walked out from behind the statue. He picked up the fruit enshrined in front of the statue and threw it into Baitang in the arms.
Bai Tang, who was careful to purify Princess Kunya but failed to see Li Ziwei, shook his head. He waved his hand to dissolve the water and poured the fruit from the beginning to the end. Then he took a bite with confidence: "It's not him, it's the old man. pope."
As an aura-enhanced priest, Bai Tang naturally couldn't drink and eat meat like ordinary people. During these days, he basically lived on fruits and spring water, and every minute he looked like a fairy about to ascend into the sky.
As the relationship is getting closer, Bai Tang is too lazy to look like a man of a family in front of Xie Qiao, not to mention his elegant eating, which can be regarded as beautiful and delicious. With only one fruit, Bai Tang roughly explained to Xie Qiao that he is old. The Pope's case.
"Do you think there is Li Ziwei's handwriting behind this?" After pondering, Xie Qiao naturally took away the fruit pits for Baitang, "The poison came not too early or too late, it's really a bit strange."
"But it won't do her any good." Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the corners of his lips, Baitang seriously recalled the black thread he felt inside the old pope's body, "not to mention that the poison can't even be pulled out of my domain, It's not like what Li Ziwei can do now."
As for Mingyue, no matter how optimistic the legendary god of order was about the horse he had chosen, Baitang didn't think that the other party would hand over a bottle of meth that was said to be able to kill gods to a human being.
"Soldiers come and block the water and cover it with earth," Xie Qiao repented what Baitang had said before, and said with disgust, "It's a pity that Zero Three's divine creation is restricted too much, otherwise we wouldn't be as passive as we are now."
When he said this, Xie Qiao shielded the location of the two of them with the evil spirit of blood, and he was not afraid of selling Zero Three because of this. Seeing Xie Qiao's angry appearance, Baitang couldn't help but twitched his lips: "Anyway, people It is also under the nose of the master who conspired to rebel, Lord Yaodao deserves a lot of forgiveness."
"Then we are still stealing things under the noses of the two gods." Speaking of this, Xie Qiao couldn't help telling Baitang worriedly, "The domain is always open, don't let those old immortals in the sky catch you." It's up to you."
The power of faith is the most important catalyst in the process of condensing divine power. If they can get enough power of faith in this dungeon, Bai Tang and Xie Qiao will not appear so passive when facing the gods in the future.
Of course, Baitang is fully prepared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Besides, he is not greedy, and he has his own domain as a cover. Shouldn't notice anything.
Time passed by in such seemingly peaceful days, the old pope's decaying body became more and more difficult to hide, and rumors spread within the Holy See that Priest Lyle would soon succeed him to the coronation.
This kind of rumor is not a big deal, but who started it, another theory has gradually become popular in the Holy See, that is, the illness of the Pope is related to the high priest, otherwise how could he be the Pope when he was just an adult? throne?
This is not all empty talk. You must know that Pope Kobia is the one with the strongest magical power among the previous popes. Ordinary ailments cannot corrode this old man with healing magic body protection. Now the old Pope has never explained the cause of the disease to the outside world. , Such a secretive attitude made the clergy in the Holy See murmur.
The Holy See is no better than the common people. After experiencing the respect of the people and even the emperors of the empire, the position of the pope has become a throne representing the highest power. The bishops have accumulated a lot of qualifications after so many years, so of course they don’t want to just fall into it. In the hands of such a brat.
A fledgling young son of God just gave these bishops who had been waiting for a long time a chance to compete.
Knowing that there must be Li Ziwei behind this incident, but Baitang has no time to take care of him recently. On the one hand, he has to use healing magic every day to try his best to delay the spread of toxins in the old pope's body, and on the other hand, he must always be on guard against Xie Qiao. He was captured as a demon by the increasingly vigilant bishops and knights in the Holy See.
That night, Bai Tang had just returned to the Holy See after treating the old Pope, and saw Lawrence and his party who had just walked out of the temple. Knowing that the Holy See was heavily guarded recently, Bai Tang did not show any displeasure. He gently directed at Lawrence Nodding his head, there was a lingering melancholy between his brows.
"Master Priest," Unexpectedly, Lawrence, who has always been regarded as a man of few words, suddenly stopped Baitang. He looked at the pale complexion of the young priest, and couldn't help but exhort, "Tomorrow is the coronation." The ceremony is over, sir, you need to rest well."
Coronation?Baitang blinked his eyes to wake up his chaotic brain. These days, he was so focused on duplicating and materializing God Killer, that he forgot for a moment that the day of his coronation and ascension to the throne was just around the corner.
"I will." Rubbing between his brows to show his fatigue, Baitang curved his lips into a faint smile, "Thank you, Lawrence."
Even though he didn't know where the original owner was taken by the gods, since he had assumed Lyle's identity, Bai Tang had no intention of destroying the interpersonal relationship that the original owner had.
Lawrence, who was once again dazzled by the priest's smile, stood there in a daze. When he came back to his senses, there was no shadow of Baitang under the moonlight, only a cold palace door remained.
Moving his lips, Lawrence seemed to want to knock on the door and say something more, but the knight behind him coughed, whether it was intentional or unintentional, which woke him up. He quickly withdrew his left hand that was not holding the sword, and left the temple without looking back.
"What do you think is wrong with that little knight?" Xie Qiao leaned against the door and lazily said without feeling how funny his peeping appearance was, "If he really likes the original owner, what kind of man is he who is so secretive? "
"It's not that you don't know the most important canons in the Holy See of Light." Instead of kneeling in front of the goddess statue, Baitang pressed his temples, and his tone fluctuated a little, "Strictly speaking, the Holy See of Light All the men, women and children up and down are the property of the Goddess of Light alone."
"I don't know about others, but you are definitely not hers." Taking away Baitang's slightly cool hand, Xie Qiao put his fingertips on the other's temples, and used the way of massage to perform a power cycle, "What do you want me to say?" This Lawrence is not true love, otherwise, how could he not even find out that the person he loves has been swapped."
"It's just a pursuit of beautiful things." Thinking of what happened during his travels, Baitang shook his head. "In this continent, there are quite a few people who 'like' Priest Lyle."
On his own site next to the statue, there were still fruit and spring water as usual. Even with Xie Qiao's comfort, Baitang's head was tired and dizzy. mouth.
"Are you sincerely trying to make me jealous?" Knowing that Baitang's physique is not as delicate as it appears on the surface, Xie Qiao didn't snatch the cup at this time. He rolled up his sleeves and wore a homely look. The appearance of a good man, "By the way, I went out for a while during the day when my defense was not strong. Many nobles came to the gods. It seems that they are quite satisfied with your succession."
This situation is quite reasonable. For those empires that have been pinned down by the Holy See all year round, a Pope like Baitang, who is still young and lacks dignity, is just the soft persimmon they need most.
"There's also Li Ziwei. These days, she's quite calm, but according to her own observations, she secretly recruited many followers of the Goddess of Life."
"What? She still wants to usurp the throne at the coronation ceremony of the new pope?"
I don't know if it was Xie Qiao's illusion, but he always felt that Baitang's voice was softer than before. Although Xie Qiao himself was considered a noble person by nature, he loved the casual and arrogant look of her very much.
"I don't even dare to judge her," Xie Qiao snorted nonchalantly, "If we didn't want Li Ziwei to lure out that damn goddess of life, why should we stay here and delay her time?"
Compared to the well-off Li brothers and sisters, Bai Tang and Xie Qiao can be said to be poor and white. For this dungeon, the protracted war is obviously a strategy that favors Li Ziwei.
"After all, those gods are still a level higher than ours now." With the deepening of his understanding of the power of creation, Bai Tang gradually understood the position of the two of them, "But if they are allowed to come to this plane, maybe we can still There is a [-]% chance of winning."
Using a mortal body to plan for gods, if outsiders hear Baitang's words at this time, they will definitely laugh their heads off because of this, but with the poison that has almost been analyzed, Baitang's confidence is a little stronger .
I don't know if it was because of his physical discomfort, but Baitang felt that his whole body was getting hotter and hotter. He frowned, poured another small glass of cold water and drank it.
"do not move."
The big hand with well-defined bones pressed the back of Baitang's hand without hesitation, and then Xie Qiao was startled by the heat from his host's hand. He looked at Baitang, whose cheeks were flushed and panting slightly, and he didn't know it moved. throat, and then carefully asked softly——
"Tangtang...do you have a fever?"
The author has something to say: Lao Xie: In fact, the deity already has the answer in his heart [Serious]
This matter has nothing to do with Lao Xie, it wasn't calculated by him, if the second shift was not on time, it must have been stuck in the next baby carriage.
Above, compare your heart every day, okay~
