Chapter 344: Priests and Knights

"Shh, Grand Priest Bruko, pay attention to your subordinates' words, don't you know this?"

Not far away, a priest who knew him quickly came over and said, "This is the legendary one!"

"Is it the trainee priest who defended Dolan City with his own strength to turn the tide?"

"It's him!"

There are so many rumors about this young man during this period, and there are all kinds of sayings. Some people say that he is the Pope's illegitimate son, some people say that he is a genius who has appeared every five hundred years. He is proficient in soul engraving, war songs, fighting, and military tactics. Some people say that the so-called victory is to defeat hundreds of ragged barbarians, and some people say that he led thousands of people to defend the attack of hundreds of thousands of wilderness troops, and one person single-handedly entered the enemy formation, severely damaging the top master of the elite generation of the Beast God Continent, the Demon Lion Aoria...

No matter which one it is, the people of the imperial capital knew this intern priest from the small town of Jerusalam. Where is Jerusalam? I'm afraid no one knew it before this.

Zou Liang felt the voice behind him and the surprised gazes from strangers around him. However, he was calm about these things now and his mood was natural.

It is a mediocre talent to not be jealous of others. With Zou Liang's current achievements and a prosperous person, it is normal for him to attract attention from all parties. There will be more opportunities like this in the future.

This time, Ounister and the War Song Priests Group came with Zou Gao. As one person achieved enlightenment, the heroes of the whole country, the War Song Priests Group and a group of brothers who followed Arthur to make achievements will be fortunate to be received by the Pope on a formal occasion.

In the evening, Zou Liang came to the Pope's palace with a special person. This time it was a private meeting before the official meeting. It was impossible for a minister who was not particularly favored to have such treatment, not to mention that Arthur is now an intern priest.

When he walked into the hall, he saw Pope Benedict XV sitting on his head, his body leaning slightly, one hand on his forehead, and a kind smile.

Compared to the last time I saw him, the Pope gave Zou Liang this time a deep feeling, as if he was invisible at first sight, and his temperament was deep. After experiencing so many things, Zou Liang overturned all his judgments about Benedict XV. Everyone who could become the Pope is a strong among the strong. Even if Benedict XV does not have the power of Benedict XVIII, his strength is probably top-notch.

"See the Pope."

As a ruler of the entire Mongjia Empire, he could have such a quick response during the crisis in Duolan City and ordered northern cities to rescue with thunderous anger. No matter what the result is, Zou Liang should thank him. If it weren't for reinforcements, it would be hard to say whether the enemy would kill him and shoot him back.

"Come on, Arthur, go to the back garden with me." The pope waved naturally. Then, with his hands on his back, and accompanied by the knight, he walked towards the rear of the temple.

The meeting was relatively private, and there were not many priests present. The Pope only brought two close-fitting knights and several trainee priests who were dedicated to serving and taking care of them. It can be seen that he trusted Arthur very much.

When they arrived at the back garden of the Holy See, except for the Knight Bot, who was far away, the other knights and trainee priests withdrew at the Pope's order.

Under the moonlight, the old and the young stood together, and Arthur was slightly behind one position to show his respect for the Pope.

Although it is just a small detail, it is necessary in front of the superior.

The pope smiled slightly. Arthur's little thoughts are quite likable, capable and domineering, and very sensible when he should be humble. Such young people are really rare, God bless Meng Jia.

He looked up at the moonlight, remembering this time Arthur and a group of intern priests guarding an isolated city, thinking about the iron hooves and madness of the barbarians. The barbaric and civilization burning in the fire of war, the courage and war songs of the Mongols, and the faith of the beast gods they regained. He felt that his body was also a little hot, as if he had returned to the era of being a young man.

I imagine that Benedict XV also went through a strong struggle when he was able to sit in the position of the Pope.

Those who can get promoted are all strong people, and they are never lacking in warlike blood.

"Arthur, you have shown the spirit of the Mönga this time. Let's talk to me about the incident, and you need to be more detailed." Looking back at Arthur, who was slightly lowered his head and stood quietly under the moonlight, Benedict XV's satisfaction increased a little.

It is rare to be so calm in front of Benedict XV. A young man had done it before, and he was Nebero, the Sun Knight, and now he has another intern priest - Arthur.

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope, the matter is..."

Zou Liang knew that there was no need to think about it in front of the pope, and just telling the truth in its entirety, that was enough.

From beginning to end, he did not add any opinions, discussions, or even any feelings. He just plainly told the story of entering Duolan City until the siege begins, and at the end, the demon lion Aoria took action personally, and Emma attacked him hard and rushed to the death of the barbarian soldiers, without any concealment.

"This Emma is such a good girl." When Emma was not afraid of Aoria's shocking blow and used her body to win a glimmer of hope for Arthur, even Benedict XV could not help but feel a little.

The Pope is a veteran. In the past few decades of life, in addition to the stormy power struggles and struggles, there is also a tenderness in his heart. Naturally, he can understand the deep affection of Emma's self-sacrifice at that moment. Only when he truly loves someone, which is greater than his own life, can he do it.

"Your Majesty, I want to save her!" Zou Liang said in a deep voice.

All Zou Liang's hopes fall on the pope, hoping to find a way to make up for Emma's incomplete beast spirit with the Pope's ability and knowledge, so that she can recover!

Even if it was a glimmer of hope, nothing could stop him.

Benedict XV thought about it slightly, and it was obvious that this matter was difficult. Incomplete beast spirits meant incomplete souls.

"Emma's situation, if the beast spirit is incomplete..." The pope pondered slightly: "You use the power of the Holy Order to freeze her body. This is very good. You have mastered a kind of special ability of the Holy Order. Only the Holy Order can keep Emma's life for a long time and will not weaken..."

"His Majesty……"

The pope waved his hand to calm him down, "Let me think about it, there should have been similar situations before."

Zou Liang calmed down and watched the pope walk back and forth a few steps in front of him. He suddenly stopped, "There is a place where you can find a way to supplement the incomplete beast spirit..."

"Your Majesty, where is it?"

"It takes enough strength and opportunity to go to that place." Benedict XV said slowly: "Don't worry, I will help you pay attention to Emma's affairs. There will be no problem with her body being protected by the power of Holy Order."

"Yes." Although the Pope did not reveal everything, it was at least proved that Emma's condition could definitely be cured, which finally made Zou Liang's heart let go.

"That's how it happens." The pope looked at Arthur, and suddenly a sharp look appeared. "Although the courage in Duolan City this time is commendable, I am still very unhappy."

It is indeed not a false statement to be with the king and accompany the tiger. At this moment, Benedict XV was not like the kind old man before. His whole body was as unsheathed as a sharp sword. He actually burst into a terrifying power in his eyes that had been squinted for a long time.

"Arthur, when encountering such an urgent incident, you should report it to your superiors as soon as possible, rather than make your own decisions!" The pope's expression was very stern.

Everyone knows that this is simply a thorn in the bones. Not to mention it, it is impossible to find it under the *** of the wild beast tribe. Even if it is discovered, will anyone believe it? But the Pope said this at this time, if it were someone who had just experienced a life-and-death battle, it would have broken out.

But Zou Liang nodded very seriously, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely remember your teachings!"

Benedict XV smiled, smiling from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, young man, it's great that you can do this at this age." The pope's momentum slowly faded, "But you have to understand that I hope you will go further in the future..."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Faced with the Pope, Zou Liang has always maintained a low-key style, listening more and talking less.

"Okay, that's all for today, and I will reward you on a formal occasion tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Benedict XV sent the priests and asked his subordinates to send Arthur out. Then Bot walked over respectfully and stood beside the Pope.

"Bote, this boy is amazing." Benedict XV suddenly laughed, and then sighed, "If it were five years earlier, it would be perfect."

"Your Majesty, you often say that only by overcoming obstacles can you have real light. This child is quite sensible, and a person who is brave enough to take responsibility can be of great use."

Benedict XV glanced at Bot. He knew this old friend very well. Bot rarely looked down on a young man, but he really looked at Arthur differently. To be honest, Arthur's only flaw was that his foundation was too thin. Popes of Thomas were completely worthless at this level. Even Subaru was slightly inferior. Without the support of the old family, fighting at a certain level would be difficult, but this child was really in line with his wishes.

"Bote, you are wrong. He is not just brave enough to take responsibility. He understands the true intention behind me." The pope's eyes were full of profound charm, and the criticism just now seemed unreasonable. If it were anyone who was forced to defend himself, he would probably have some complaints in his heart even due to the status of the pope. But the problem is that only the pope and Arthur understand the real purpose.

Arthur should have reported it. If he reports it, the superiors do not respond or neglect their duties, it is equivalent to giving Subaru a chance to establish his authority. Even if the Pope wants to take action, it is not easy to do it too obvious. We must give a clearer reason. After all, the Eight Great Shamans are pillars of the temple, and even the Pope has to consider it.

Arthur understood the Pope's point and admitted his mistake from the bottom of his heart. Even the subjects like Bot who had been following the Pope for a long time had not understood it.

After a moment of trance, Bot realized and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It turns out that I'm only suitable to be a knight."

"Haha, that's why I'm willing to give this child a chance. Maybe he will create miracles. After all, he is our own person."
