I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

Compared to Beth and Bennett's ease, the Pope is now much more upset.

The poison obviously had no effect on Beth. She had no idea what the two men meant by holding the poisoned snacks. What was even more hateful was that they seemed to be staying and refusing to leave.

The Pope looked at the two people who took the snacks but remained motionless and asked:

"I wonder if you two have anything else to say?"

Beth took a bite of the snack and confirmed that it was not poisonous. She threw it away in boredom and said to the Pope:

"How come you have my seal? And the king's invitation letter. What right do you have to withhold the invitation letter the king gave me?"

"The seal was brought by the knights when they evacuated. I am just keeping it for the Saint and will return it to Her Highness shortly."

The Pope remained calm. The seals had been used up, blank documents were left, and a forged seal was ready. It was nothing to give it to Beth.

As for the invitation...

"Saint Beth is also a member of the church. Wouldn't it be better if we appeared together with the church?"

Seeing that he could not poison Beth here, the Pope wanted to take advantage of Beth's influence in the church during the ceremony.

Beth has been dealing with the Pope for so long, how could she not see the Pope's thoughts? Although the Pope is useful to Beth now, it does not mean that Beth wants to be tied to the Pope.

So Beth refused on the spot:

"No, I have my own plans, so I won't go with the Pope."

The Pope's face was cold again, but he had no choice but to say to Beth:

"In that case, I'll have someone send the seal and invitation letter over."

The Pope turned and walked down the corridor.

Beth snorted at the Pope's back, looked at Bennett and said:

"It looks like it won't be easy to get free food tonight."

Bennett thought for a moment and said:

"I remember you're pretty good at grilling meat, why don't we have a grill tonight?"

Beth frowned and said with a bitter face:

"Come again? I ate too much barbecue last night, I want to change the taste."

Bennett spread his hands. If Denise was still a princess, he could go to Denise.

But now Denise has been expelled, and her castle is gone, so naturally there is no chance for her to get a free meal from him.

"If it doesn't work, let's go to the Archmage."

When Beth heard the great wizard's words, she immediately remembered the various experiments, shuddered violently, and said:

"Forget it, let's just grill some meat later."

……

The Pope left the living room and did not immediately look for the seal. Instead, he angrily pushed open a wall.

Inside was the wizard who was preparing the poison. The wizard was obviously in a good mood. His eyes emitted a black light and he kept shaking the test tube in his hand.

"Hogel, the poison you gave me didn't work."

Mage Hogel looked back at the Pope and said:

"Oh? How does the Pope know that the poison is useless?"

"She and the mage are both alive and kicking, how could it possibly be useful?"

Hogel grinned with his cracked lips, revealing his broken teeth, and rolled his tongue to send a hair to his mouth.

"Look, whose hair is this? She's a hundred years old, but still exudes the scent of a young girl. It's a pity she's not a virgin, otherwise it would be even more delicious."

As he spoke, Hogel took the hair out of his mouth. The hair was obviously black, but the roots of the hair emitted a faint golden light.

The Pope looked at the hair in the wizard's hand and felt disgusted by the wizard's vulgarity. He had already decided to kill the wizard in his heart, and his face was naturally full of impatience:

"What do you mean?"

"This hair was brought by the guard just now. I don't know where it got from when he was delivering snacks to that woman."

Hogel looked at the golden hair, and a rune bloomed from the palm of his hand.

The hair emitted golden light under the influence of the runes, and a holy aura instantly filled the dark laboratory.

"The Pope should be very familiar with this aura."

The Pope's eyes widened. It looked familiar, more than familiar.

This is the breath he dreams of every day. That breath that is soothing yet extremely overbearing is his nightmare every moment.

"Why is her hair black?"

Hogel chuckled and said:

“She is indeed extraordinary. The willpower of a knight permeates everything about her.

Of course, if there is something wrong with her will, it will also show up in these infected characteristics.

Like this black hair.”

Hogel extinguished the rune on his palm, showed the Pope the black color on his hair, and put the hair into his mouth with an expression of enjoyment.

"The poison is effective, but it's a little too little."

The Pope's face instantly showed joy, and he began to think about poisoning again.

Since the snack is not enough, change to a larger one.

Thinking of this, the Pope looked at Hogel and said:

"Can you improve the poison? I want to put it in the food."

"Oh, I've prepared it a long time ago. This time it's colorless and odorless, so you can put it anywhere."

……

On the other side, Beth and Bennett were still worrying about dinner tonight.

Just at this moment, the Pope came out from the corridor and came up to the two of them with a stiff face.

"This is Saint Beth's seal and invitation letter."

Beth took the seal and invitation and looked at Bennett.

Bennett stood up, intending to teleport directly to his castle.

The runes on the ground unfolded, and Beth stood up. At this moment, the Pope spoke:

"It has been a long time since the Saint has met the knight who admires you. How about having dinner here tonight and meeting the loyal knight?"

Bennett extinguished the rune on the ground.

Beth glanced at Bennett and then at the Pope.

This old guy... has changed his mind?

The two of them just looked at the Pope.

The Pope didn't know what the two meant, he just felt that their eyes were strange, as if they were expecting something.

Were these two people waiting for me to poison them so that they could bring me down?

But these are our people. If we say we don’t have any, who will help them?

The Pope thought of this and calmed down. He said:

"I don't know what you two mean?"

what for?

"Well, ahem, okay, prepare something richer."

Bennett coughed and said.

Beth followed suit, saying, "No roast, more stew."

The Pope said he felt a little numb.

That's what you said. Stewing is more addictive than grilling or frying.

"Of course, I promise to satisfy your highness."

After the Pope finished speaking, he walked away excitedly, taking very quick steps.

Beth handed the seal and invitation to Bennett, who accepted them speechlessly.

"You do that to your seal? It'll cry."

"Stop talking nonsense. I never use that thing. When this Pope is no longer useful, I will abolish it."

Bennett: “…”

Feelings are for the Pope.

On the other side, the Pope pushed open the wizard's laboratory and said to Hogel excitedly:

"Poison, give me poison, I want to use this stuff as water."

Hogel handed the large measuring cup to the Pope and said:

"I really like the smell of this hair. I want to taste it too, the owner of this hair."

The Pope looked at Hogel in surprise:

"You want to be covered in poison too?"

The black light in Hogel's eyes shone brightly, and he said:

"Have you forgotten that I gave you this poison?"
