Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 294: The Good Man of the Holy See, Von Stroevsky (4k+)

Liu Yonglu pulled Millie Tang and hid in the carriage. He was not in a hurry to get off, but stared at the gate with a sly look. He didn't grin until he saw Balkan holding a note in his hand and going out and getting on the carriage.

Why is he laughing? He had trained the phrases for the game in advance.

He was not a prophet, he just had nothing to do. When he was at home, Liu Yonglu would spend a considerable amount of time with Xiaohu after dinner every day.

Playing football in the backyard, washing up, and telling stories before bedtime would usually take three or four hours.

Now that they have moved into a temporary villa, this gap has been left. Millie Tang doesn't let him into the house, so Liu Yonglu has nothing to do and can only play with the chicken. Prescribing prescriptions is a necessary training lesson for both the man and the bird.

"Aren't you going in?"

As Millie Tang spoke, she used her hands to struggle to free herself from Liu Yonglu's dishonest and stinky claws.

"Don't worry, wait a moment.

I will teach you how to phrase it now, and then I will come in from the back door and you will... then..."

Liu Yonglu shook his head while teaching Millie Tang how to be immoral. Millie Tang turned her head and glanced at Liu Yonglu with her usual eyes.

An hour later, Prince Herama's carriage returned to the villa. This time, three young men, including Balkan, got off the carriage at once. Each of them was carrying three or four bags in their hands. It was like moving house, and they had difficulty entering the house.

"Are you ready? Come on, you go in first. I'll wait for ten minutes before I go on stage."

Millie Tang tiptoed into the house through the back door and went up to the second floor first. She put on a wig and a white robe, then went downstairs holding the holy book in her hand.

"Prince Herama, why are you here!?"

Millie Tang pretended to be surprised. The table in the living room was filled with various gifts, including the good cigarettes that Liu Yonglu usually couldn't bear to smoke, various expensive ingredients, her favorite coffee and black tea, and clothes and watches bought from luxury stores frequented by aristocratic gentlemen.

Little did she know that Liu Yonglu was teaching the chicken-walking trick in order to get a dowry.

Zou Ji also followed suit and said, "I want a watch from West Malaysia!"

Of course, Prince Herama didn't know what a Cima watch was, so he asked Balkan to pick out expensive watches and bought two, one for men and one for women.

Prince Herama was not distressed, as it was just a small amount of money. He was sitting on a chair playing with the chicken. When he saw Milly Tang enter the room, he nodded and saluted:
"Miss Mala, where is Mr. Feng? To be honest, I am somewhat interested in his proposal yesterday, but I am afraid we still have some differences on the numbers. I happened to pass by the villa today, so I wanted to come over to discuss it further."

Helama's attitude has changed over the past two days, and today he seems particularly approachable.

"Mr. Feng is giving a lecture upstairs. He will be down soon. Please wait for a moment."

"Preaching?"

"Yes, you may not know that Mr. Feng is not only a great judge, but also has a high level of attainment in the religious history related to the Saint. We usually ask him if we have any questions when studying the scriptures."

Millie Tang's lines in this section were completely emotionless, because Liu Yonglu taught her to say them.

"Amazing, you are worthy of being an independent judge sent by the Holy See.

On the way here today, I told Balkan that even though we had disagreements on business and our two companies didn't reach an agreement in the end, I was fortunate to meet a young and promising judge like Mr. Feng, and this trip to Moses Sader was worthwhile."

Lucky? I think you are unlucky. It's better to know him than to know anyone else. Millie Tang rolled her eyes in her heart.

"What's with all this stuff on the table? Please put it away quickly. We in the Holy See don't like politeness among the secular world."

According to the lines taught by Liu Yonglu, Millie Tang pointed at the table and said with a grim face.

"They are some small gifts. In our Kurt, if a guest visits a host's home without taking some gifts, it is disrespectful to the host. Please don't mind."

"That is your custom in worldly dealings. We are the shepherds of the Saint and practitioners of her will. We cannot accept this."

"Hahaha." Prince Helama may not be good at other things, but he is very good at diplomatic rhetoric:

"You are wrong. This gift is not for you or Mr. Feng. It is for Holy Eagle, right?"

After saying this, he nodded towards the chicken runner, a word he was more familiar with than Millie Tang:

"It won't happen again! It won't happen again!"

"Miss Mala, you heard it too. Holy Eagle said it won't happen again. Just accept it this time."

"Prince Herama, I'm sorry to have waited so long!"

Before Milly Tang could reply, Liu Yonglu hurried down from the second floor. He had been watching from the stairs, worried that Milly Tang might not be able to control the temperature well. Now that he felt that it was about time, he grabbed Prince Herama's hand, and the two of them exchanged greetings like old friends reuniting.

Prince Herama was also very happy. What Saint Eagle said was right. When visiting Mr. Feng, one had to give gifts. This attitude was obviously different!

"Mr. Feng, I hope I didn't disturb you while you were preaching?"

"No, no, if you are interested in the Holy Scriptures, I can also help you explain a little bit. Spreading the gospel of the Saint throughout the continent is the lifelong wish of every clergyman in the Holy See."

"Let's do it another day if we have a chance. The main reason I stopped by today was to talk to you about the price of the Nikola transaction."

Prince Herama looked at Liu Yonglu with burning eyes. He felt that the atmosphere today was much more harmonious than yesterday. Yesterday the atmosphere was tense, but today he liked von Stroevsky more and more.

"Eight ancient relics, what do you think?"

“Eight pieces… As you know, every ancient relic is inextricably linked to the gods, and it is dangerous to carry it with you, so I only brought four pieces with me this time to Mosesad.

It’s not that I intend to bargain with the judge, it’s just that going back to Kurt to get it will waste too much time, don’t you think…”

"Ah! I said eight, but you're only going to give me four!?"

Liu Yonglu pretended to be surprised, but his expression was not stern and he still had a smile on his face.

"Not selling?"

"sold!"

Prince Herama was dumbfounded. He thought he would face a tough negotiation today, but he didn't expect Mr. Feng to be so straightforward.

Oh, if I had known that you liked gold, silver and jewelry so much, I would have prepared more for you.

What was Liu Yonglu thinking when he agreed so readily? He didn't want to offend Prince Herama completely. The person in front of him was not a cult leader or a local tyrant. He was a prince of a country.

If I really pull out eight teeth from a tiger's mouth, and then he finds out he's been fooled, then the grudge will be too big. If I don't target myself, but secretly put some eye drops on Moses Sader, I won't be able to explain myself if the old men blame me.

Just give me four items. I'm not really asking for anything from him when I ask him for things. The main purpose is not to delay time.

Besides, the more ancient relics you get, the better. If you want too many, you have to give some money to the headquarters. If you can't get many of them, you might as well do a favor and save face for both sides.

"Mr. Feng is so righteous!" Heramar gave a thumbs up. He thought to himself, there are four items. I will go back and tell Wordsworth about six items, and we will each take half. This invention is equivalent to a solution that I solved with the price of an ancient relic. I have made a fortune.

How about building a church for the Saint's Sect when we return to Kurt next month? Just for the sake of courtesy, since they are not allowed to recruit believers locally anyway, we can give Mr. Feng a church to make him proud in front of the Holy See.

He also considered Liu Yonglu.

"Well, let's wait a few days. I'll prepare it and then send the ancient relic to you."

"No hurry, no hurry. I put the invention in the box for you last night. Please rest assured that the saint's practitioners always keep their words. What you saw last night is what you will get in a few days!
If it is not the same, the Saint and all the gods who represent the will of the Virgin will punish me. "

Liu Yonglu swore to the heavens, but his oath was full of tricks, so it was the same whether he had sworn or not.

Prince Herama was even happier. He quickly ordered his men to take down the things on the table and then went to the street to buy the best food. He wanted to have a drink with Mr. Feng at noon today.

The story about the cocoons and the running chickens had not yet begun, and he was going to talk about it while eating.

After a while, the gifts were taken away and the best food on Helen Street was brought up. Balkan poured the red wine into the decanter like a waiter. Liu Yonglu was not polite either. He shook his cheeks and raised his back teeth. That's it!
"Mr. Feng, while you were lecturing upstairs, I was chatting with Shengying downstairs. I felt that this little creature and I seemed to have a tacit understanding."

Liu Yonglu thought, tacit understanding? If you have the guts, try touching it and see if it bites you.

"So in addition to the invention, I have another unwelcome request. Can you give me the Holy Eagle?"

This request also surprised Liu Yonglu. He turned his head to look at Zou Ji. Zou Ji could understand what people said and raised his little neck high. What he meant was, you don’t like me and look down on me, but see, there are many people who like me!

"Give it up? You want to buy it... No, Holy Eagle?"

"Correct."

"Oh, I can't make the decision on this. The Holy Eagle's status in the Holy See is higher than our judges. Above us judges is the chief judge, who listens to the bishop's orders, and above the bishop is the cardinal.

But the Holy Eagle is different. It was sent out by the Saint from behind the Sourceless Gate. It is a creation of the Saint's great power. This... I will give you a report, and the Saint will make the decision the next time the Sourceless Gate is opened."

Prince Herama frowned. Is it necessary to go through so much trouble to get a bird?

It's better to put it aside for now, and wait until I get the invention before visiting him a few times to give him gifts and see if there is any room for maneuver.

Besides, Saint Eagle was only here for fun, the key was the cocoon. Thinking of this, he came up with all kinds of excuses and raised his glass to toast, intending to get Mr. Feng drunk so that he could ask him indirectly about the whereabouts of the cocoon.

"Mr. Feng, your performance in my dreamland that day really opened my eyes.

To be honest, before coming to Mosesad, the people in the southern continent had always looked down on the Holy Maiden Sect, and of course I was not one of them.

These guys are short-sighted. They think that the Holy Maiden Sect can become the first faith of the Western Continent only by relying on some pedantic clichés. But this time when I go back, I will definitely tell them about your calmness in the dreamland.

So that they can also know what kind of demeanor the judge blessed by the saint is like."

Liu Yonglu did not stop chatting while eating. He also thought that Prince Herama was a nice guy, generous and nice. If Milly Tang hadn't been holding him back, he would have sat down and put his arm around his shoulders.

"Where is the Inquisitor's elegance? He is just borrowing a bit of the Saint's power."

"Especially the forbidden spell you cast, it really opened my eyes. Although the collection of books on forbidden knowledge in the Southern Continent is not as complete as that in the Western Continent, I have read a few of them. The spell you used is called the Black Box Technique, right?"

After saying this, Millitang's heart moved. Could it be that Prince Herama was going around in circles because of the black box technique?
"Prince Heramar said it was a black box technique, so it must be a black box technique."

Liu Yonglu was alert and just laughed it off.

“I borrowed that ancient book from an occultist more than ten years ago. At that time, he was invited to visit my father’s palace and later became my occult teacher for several months.

I wonder if you have the ancient book that records the black box technique. It’s been so long, and I really miss that time. I want to read the book and relive it again.”

After hearing this, Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang both understood that the man came here for the bronze box, but they didn't know whether he wanted the black box technique inside the box or something else.

But the box belonged to the headquarters, so there was no reason to sell it to him.

“Ancient books, are they really not copper boxes?”

Millie Tang knew that Liu Yonglu dared to be so frank, and he must have had some bad ideas in his mind. She did not interrupt, but lowered her head and concentrated on eating the ginkgo nuts on the plate.

"Mr. Feng, I feel that talking to you is particularly easy. Yes, this item came from the Southern Continent, but I don't know why it ended up in the hands of the Holy See.

Since you are so frank, I will tell you the truth. There is a cocoon hidden in the copper box. That cocoon is very important to me."

Prince Herama's palms were slightly sweaty. If he could destroy Nikola's invention and find the cocoon this time in Mosesad, it could be said that he had a great harvest.

"Prince Herama, why do you think we came out of the Holy See and stayed in New Nulund for so long?"

"Isn't it for Nicholas?"

"Invention is just one thing. It's not worth it for the Archbishop to mobilize so many inquisitors. Besides, the Holy See is not far from Mosesad. If they really wanted to target Nicholas, wouldn't we have taken action more than a decade ago?"

"Then what are you..."

"Looking for something! It's the cocoon you just mentioned, Prince!"

Hearing what Mr. Feng said, Hera Ma's heart skipped a beat. After all this time, the cocoon was not in their hands, but they had chased it all the way to New New Lent. Could it be that...

"Originally, this copper box had been kept in the Holy See. However, during a mission, an inquisitor was accidentally attacked and the contents of the copper box were stolen. We came to New Newlund in pursuit of this guy."

Herama nodded slightly. It was enough to have a clue. At least there was hope. Besides, it was not in the hands of the Inquisitor. If he found it, he would not have to pay extra price.

"I don't know what the Holy See's attitude is towards this matter. I wonder if the person who has the clues is willing to sell them to me. Once we get the clues, we can sit down and have a good chat about ownership like we did today. I believe that with our personal relationship, we can definitely come up with a result that satisfies everyone."

"Um……"

Liu Yonglu pretended to think, and after a while he slowly said:
“I can tell you the clues for free, Saint Mercy. The reason why we, the Inquisitors, went out in full force to retrieve the cocoon is not because we covet the insignificant power, but because we are worried that this thing will be accidentally touched by civilians, causing unnecessary casualties.

Prince Herama, if you can find the cocoon and make corresponding guarantees, it is not impossible for the cocoon to stay with you in the end."

Although Herama was anxious, he put on a look of gratitude and piety on his face and nodded.

"Recently, a strange thing happened in New Newland. You may have seen it in the newspaper. An ascetic monk wearing an emerald robe often appears in the surrounding area and often harms some innocent civilians. To be honest, the cocoon is in his hand!"

"In his hands! In his hands!" The chicken on the mat also echoed by stretching his neck.

Hey, I lost more than 1k today, so I went to the aquarium with my daughter. I hope you guys don’t mind.
