Food conquers the world

Chapter 56 The Power Struggle

The torch fell on the wood poured with tung oil, and a huge flame burst out immediately. Zou Kai closed his eyes, but he didn't feel the heat that should be coming from under his feet.

I saw that the flame had just risen, and disappeared as if it had been wiped by someone.

Seeing this scene, Yusuke fell down on the stool in shock, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.

Someone suddenly yelled: "A miracle! This is a miracle! My lord! My lord!"

"Holy fire will not burn a pure soul!" Prince Prius also yelled at this, "Arrest Yusuke who tried to burn the envoy to death, the real devil should get what he deserves!"

"No! No!" Yusuke shouted, "I am Wilder's most loyal servant, and Wilder will never give up on me! This is not a miracle, it must be a trick of the devil! No!"

Zou Kai was tied to the pillar, watching the scene in front of him silently at this moment, he just felt funny in his heart, whether it is an envoy or a devil, it all depends on who is more useful to him, whether it is a god or a people, it is these people who are crazy about power It was just a bargaining chip, he was the most important one now, so Yusuke desperately said that he was a devil, while the prince wanted to prove that he was an angel.

There was a sudden noise from the side of Shenen Square, and the bustling crowd suddenly fell silent. Even Prius and Yusuke stopped shouting at each other, and they all turned their heads in shock to look in the same direction.

The door of the Holy See, which has been closed all year round, is now open.

Next to Shenen Square, the gate carved with complicated golden patterns that everyone thought would only be opened when the new emperor ascended the throne was slowly opened at this moment, and a young man walked out with a few followers.

The young man was wearing a dark green robe trimmed with gold thread, with light golden hair hanging down his waist, his appearance was as handsome as a living sculpture, and the gentle smile on his face was as perfect as the one on the sculpture.

The young man seemed to be radiating light, making people afraid to look directly at him, but if one looked closely, his face was somewhat similar to the statue of Wilde in the middle of the square.

Many civilians who followed him recognized him as the bishop who usually gave lectures and listened to everyone's prayers. It is self-evident who this person walked out surrounded by them.

"How come..." Yusuke sat on the high platform, his eyes almost popping out. He knew that the Pope didn't show up when he was enthroned, and it would not be a good thing to show up now.And when he saw the Pope decades ago, the Pope looked like this. After so many years, the Pope has not changed at all, as if the years have stopped on him, which makes him afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Zou Kai also looked at the Pope who only existed in legends. If it was normal, he would definitely complain that there are such pretentious people in this world. I admire him.However, he doesn't have this idea at all now, he just feels that this person gives him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, especially the smile and eyes, which make him feel familiar.

Price frowned. This was the first time he had seen the Pope. He didn't know what kind of person the Pope was, who never asked about political affairs but had a profound influence on any king.But in this struggle between him and Yusuke, the pope has decisive significance. As long as the pope says who he supports, the people will definitely turn against him.

"I, the current Pope Wilder, come to welcome my envoy."

To everyone's surprise, the Pope didn't look at anyone or pay attention to anyone. He just looked at Zou Kai who was tied to the pillar, and stretched out his hand.

The rope that bound Zou Kai seemed to be untied by a pair of dexterous and gentle hands. Zou Kai felt himself floating up. He looked around and saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the stake, and closer and closer to the Pope. Then the Pope stretched out his hands and caught Zou Kai.

Zou Kai didn't have much strength at the moment, but he still protested against the pope's princess hug posture: "Although I am very grateful that you saved me, can we change the posture, I am not a girl."

The pope seemed a little puzzled by his theory that if you are not a girl, you can't hug like this. He said, "You don't have the strength to walk anymore. I'll take you to the Holy See to recuperate."

Zou Kai: "...Thank you."

Zou Kai actually still has many questions in his mind, such as why the pope thinks he is an envoy, since he knew he was an envoy, why didn't he show up earlier and when he was about to die, and why the pope made him feel so familiar.

But at this moment, his body was weak and his mind was drowsy. He really couldn't ask a word, and instead fell asleep in the arms of the Pope.

The Pope hugged Zou Kai, looked at his face, ignored everyone, and turned to walk towards the Holy See.

I don't know who took the lead. The people behind him knelt down and chanted Wilder's poems. Soldiers, mages, and attendants all knelt down. This is Wilder, who is called the incarnation of Wilder in the world. representative!What's more, there is Mr. Wilder's envoy, and many people think that they can brag to others for a lifetime, but they have seen the Pope and the envoy!

Seeing the pope saving people, Yusuke knew that it was over when he came here, but the king cannot be Prius, absolutely not Prius!

He suddenly shouted at the Pope's back: "Your Majesty! Prius cannot be a king! He doesn't believe in—"

"Crack!" Yusuke suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. He turned his head in disbelief, saw a brick, and was furious in his heart. He wanted to yell at who put the civilians on it, but he didn't say anything and fell straight down. on the ground.

Dele put down the brick and patted the ashes on his hands. He felt that he was doing the right thing for this absolute who took advantage of the chaos to solve the biggest scourge, and it was thanks to the pope's sudden appearance that attracted everyone's attention that he succeeded.Then he grinned his white teeth at Mel and Gist, who had just dealt with a few guards not far away: "This man really talks a lot, and he likes to turn black and white. He must be shut up."

At this point, the power struggle has come to an end. As soon as the pope left, Prius immediately organized people to clean up the mess. The pope recognized Zou Kai, which was equivalent to acknowledging him. Yusuke's death will only be a matter of when and how.

Since then, about the imperial power of the Holy See, Zou Kai heard Dele and Maier who came to visit him. I talk about things outside.

Maier happily talked about how the prince dealt with those stubborn elders, and how the prince reduced taxes for the common people, and then talked about some things about the wizard academy and his magic teacher.

Whenever he talked about the wonderful things, Maier would also gesture with his hands and feet. Zou Kai was just bored, so he also applauded accordingly, which made Maier feel that what he said was too good every time, and said that if he didn’t want to be a magician in the future, he would You can go to tell stories to people to make money, Zou Kai agreed that you will definitely make a lot of money, and also said that there may be many people who admire you in the future, and Maier proudly said that is of course.

Pope Wilder was listening to them, and he laughed without expressing his opinion.

Because the Pope is regarded as the representative of the Creator God Wilder in the world, each of their popes is called Wilder. Regarding this, Zou Kai also asked the Pope: "Then how do you distinguish between this generation of popes and the next generation? Is this the second generation of Germany?"

Wilder replied: "There has never been a distinction. Since they all represent Wilder, why bother to distinguish."

"So you just gave up your own names? Don't your parents cry?" Zou Kai asked again.

Wilder skipped the first question and said only: "It is a supreme honor to be Pope, and if you cry, it is also a tear of joy."

Zou Kai probably knew what these people were thinking, so he didn't ask any more. If he hadn't been able to understand this kind of thing before, he would even think of telling Wilder the truth about not forgetting himself, but now the situation is different, so he doesn't bother Besides, they wouldn't listen anyway.

What's more, he thinks this Wilder is very good. The biggest headache for him when he was taken in as an envoy at the beginning was that he was afraid that his identity as a false envoy would be exposed, and he was also afraid that he would have to deal with many stubborn old men.But in the past few days, I don’t know if it’s because of his physical discomfort. He only saw a few attendants in costumes, and Wilder. No one bothered him at all, and Wilder never asked him about the envoy Things, as if he was just a guest.

He also knew that it was due to the Pope in front of him that he could be so leisurely, so he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of Wilder in his heart.

Maier also likes Wilder very much. This kid has grown up after a few months in the Master Academy. If he had seen a presence like the Pope before, he might not be able to speak, but now he can talk freely.Maier himself told a lot of things, and he was not satisfied with just talking. He still wanted to hear it, so he pestered Wilder to tell stories.Wilder was surprisingly easy to talk, and if Maier wanted to listen, he would talk.

Most of the stories in Wilder’s mouth are the wonders of the inaccessible places on the Wilder continent, such as the red flowers blooming on the snow-capped mountains, the glowing fish in the seabed, the strange-looking giant beasts in the forest, and all kinds of things. Said that I must see it in the future.

Contrary to the daily excitement of the few of them, Dele's silence, after the prince gained real power, Dele also won a title, and now he has transformed into a nobleman.He now wears luxurious clothes that he never dared to think about before, and three or four maids take turns to serve him, but he becomes more and more silent, and his words become very few.

A few times when Dele was the only one left, Zou Kai always felt that Dele had something to say to him, but he took it back when it came to his lips, and only talked about some outside news.

Zou Kai has been very tired these days, so he didn't ask. When Dele wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.

until a few days later.

After resting for a few days, Zou Kai felt that he was [-]% better, and he proposed to Dele to see Ron's grave.Dele was taking care of Ron when he died, and he took it for granted that Dele buried Ron.

Dele was silent, Zou Kai had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't ask, just waited for Dele to say.

After a long time, Dele said: "I think there is one thing, you should know that when I found Ron that day, he had many wounds on his body and looked terrible, but he was not dead yet."
