Chapter 274 Warm Jade

Osman stood in front of the huge French window, overlooking the crowds walking through the church.

The Pope's room is at the highest point inside St. Peter's Basilica, and he likes the feeling of looking down on everyone.

He watched his attendant Theo lead Crown out of the church, get into a carriage and drive away in a cloud of dust.

The reason why Theo was so enthusiastic in helping the other party find usable jade was actually because of his instruction.

“A twenty-something silver-level transcendent with the blood of a son of a god is really enviable. Even I wasn’t as good as him back then.

Sarko, what do you think?

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the room. Sarco bowed slightly and said, "I can't tell whether he is of the Son of God's bloodline, but there must be nothing wrong with him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to enter the sanctuary.

Such an excellent talent is indeed worth cultivating.”

The place where the College of Cardinals holds meetings is one of the highest-standard sanctuaries in the church. The power of its defense and purification arrays is second only to the sanctuary inherited by the Pope.

From indirect verification, it can be concluded that Crown's spirituality is pure without any impurities and he is a silver warrior with great potential.

Osman was not satisfied with his subordinates' answer and said in a deep voice:

"Of course, Clown has not been contaminated by his soul. I am more sure of this than you. What I want to ask is, can he be used by me?"

It is actually quite simple to cultivate a truly talented person. All you need to do is allocate resources and remove knowledge barriers. However, if you cultivate someone who goes against you, it is better not to do it.

Sarko was silent for a moment, then said softly, "From my observation, he and Flanders get along very well. Given his preconceived notions, he will naturally stand on Flanders' side."

Sarco believed that he had a good eye for people. Given the current situation, it would be difficult to change the mind of a silver warrior.

"I have reviewed the files submitted by Daniel in the past few days. I found that Crown did not receive much favor from Flanders.

You also know that Flanders is quite fair, has principles and bottom lines, will not be partial to someone, and believes in order.

Therefore, the relationship between Crown and Friend was not as close as we thought.

If I hint that the other party intends to train him as a successor, do you think he will be tempted?"

As the Pope, Osman possessed a lot of forbidden knowledge. He felt a passion similar to that of the Sun God's bloodline from Crown, but without the tyranny of the Son of the Sun.

I also felt the warm purifying power. The bloodline of the Sun God could not have such ability. They would only bring the heat that burned everything.

He looked through the books that recorded the gods and found that Crown's bloodline was not similar to any known god.

Therefore, it was judged that the other party might be a mutated bloodline, which had appeared in the records of the church.

In the tens of thousands of years of history of the material plane, it has only appeared three times. Without exception, these people have all stood at the peak of the silver rank. One of them was fortunate enough to become a Stigma Gold and stepped into the ranks of gods. Unfortunately, he died in the last holy war, which is a pity.

Although he is not completely sure about his judgment on the Clown bloodline, it does not affect his attempts to win it over.

The most respected person in the church is the Pope, and he does not believe that the other party does not have such ambitions.

'To train a successor?'

When Sako heard the Pope's words, he suddenly raised his head. Although the Pope paid the price of damaging his life source in order to advance to Silver, it was still a long time before he reached the end of his life.

According to past experience, the life span of a pope whose source of life is damaged is generally between 240 and 260 years old.

The current Pope is only 182 years old. According to the procedure, it is not yet time to choose a successor. Normally, the Pope will examine and train a few more suitable successors when he is 220 years old.

Finally, these people will undergo a series of tests, and the one with the highest overall evaluation will take over the scepter and be crowned as Pope.

“Your Majesty, this temptation is great enough, but the other party is well aware of the process of becoming Pope and may not favor you in a short period of time.

I think we can transfer him to St. Peter's Basilica to take up a post, so that we can slowly cut off his connection with Flanders and have a better chance of training him to become one of ours."

Osman nodded slightly, then shook his head slowly, with a smile on his face: "I don't think Flanders would lie about the cultists. When the war in the Rhine City Diocese is over, I will hold a meeting and let all the silver ranks take charge of a diocese.

If Crown became a cardinal, he would be in competition with other archbishops, and his relationship with Flanders would naturally become alienated.

If I reveal the news of training a successor at this time, it will most likely succeed. "

Osman's wish was to integrate a powerful church that was completely under his leadership. He felt that only the power firmly in his own hands was real.

. . . .

On the speeding carriage, Clown thanked Theo: "Thank you for your help this time. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find this kind of usable jade."

For him, there were only three things about coming to the Vatican.

The most important task is to obtain the fourth stage training method of Fire Breath, and the second is to gain more support for the Rhine Diocese in order to deal with the impending war.

The third thing is to obtain high-quality warm jade and create the Sun Thunder Seal.

He was unfamiliar with the place and it was difficult for him to find things quickly. The best way was to get help from the local people.

Even if he couldn't find the right warm jade, as long as he had established a relationship with a reputable business that could supply this kind of item, he could just wait.

Now the most important thing has been accomplished. If the usable warm jade is obtained, it means that the matter is basically accomplished, because obtaining more military support does not entirely depend on him.

Theo laughed and waved his hand.

“Don’t thank me. When I was chatting with the Pope, I accidentally mentioned your request, and the Pope immediately urged me to handle this matter seriously.

It can be seen that His Majesty values ​​you very much. I have never seen His Majesty treat another person so favorably."

"I will remember your kindness, but I am also very grateful for your help in getting the news."

Crown didn't care who gave the favor, and no matter what the Pope's purpose was, as long as he could benefit from it, he would express his gratitude.

Theo was very pleased with his attitude. Although it was just a small favor, a favor from a silver warrior was a great resource.

Anything that slips out of the boss's hands can benefit him, not to mention that the other party is a silver-level transcendent with a promising future.

His tone became more enthusiastic: “Sir, let me tell you about Rivegaz Sparrow, a man whose experience is quite legendary.

He was originally just a small captain in the Kingdom of the Storm Lord, making a living on the sea, and the ship he drove was called the 'Golden Pearl'."

Theo described the story vividly, and the two of them were very harmonious during their journey. An hour later, Crown met the 'legendary' Rivigaz, the major shareholder of the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

This was a slightly plump middle-aged man with small eyes and a kind and shrewd smile on his round face.

He is not only a businessman, but also a third-level knight. Judging from his psychic vision, he is still a very powerful one and is not far from entering the silver rank.

Crown judged that the strength of the other party's life source was 60% of his own peak level three, which was a very high evaluation.

"Mr. Theo, it's an honor to meet you. Your arrival brings good luck to the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce."

Rivegaz spoke in an exaggerated tone, but his smile was sincere and not offensive.

Theo laughed and scolded, “Yes, every time I come here, I have to spend money, and I will bring you a lot of golden spirit coins.

But this time, I'm not the one spending the money. I want to introduce you to a big shot in the church.

If you have the goods he likes, you are really lucky.

This is His Excellency Crown Moya, Silver Rank."

In fact, Rivergaz had been paying attention to the people Theo brought over, and judging from their attitude, they were very respectful.

Who is Theo? He is the Pope's attendant in the Church of the Lord of Flame, and his status is more respected than some cardinals.

What kind of person would Theo respect? At least he should be a very outstanding cardinal with strong military power.

"Silver rank?!"

This is a transcendent who is at the same level as the popes of various churches. A gleam of light flashed in Revigaz's eyes. He has always heard that many churches have given birth to silver-level strongmen, but he has never had the chance to see them.

Now there is a real silver-level strongman standing in front of him, and his heart is beating non-stop.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Regardless of whether you can do business with the other party, as long as you can get in touch with them, you will be successful.

If the relationship gets better in the future, he might be able to "pay" for guidance from a Silver-level expert.

"Mr. Crown, it is an honor to meet you."

Rivigaz took a deep breath to calm his excitement, then he crossed his fists in front of his chest and bowed deeply: "Sir, I hope you can travel unhindered in the strong winds and the thunderstorms will make way for you."

Theo explained: "Rivigaz is a devout believer of the Lord of Storms, and this ritual expresses their highest respect."

Clown bowed slightly: "May the Lord of Fire light the way forward for you and me."

"Sir, please take a seat and wait for a moment. I will serve you the best storm liquor in our country."

Rivergaz welcomed Crown to the sofa in the room and walked into the suite.

When Theo saw the small barrel of wine that Rivergaz brought over, he immediately lost his composure.

"You are such a snob. I can only get two glasses of Storm Stout from you in a year, less than half a bottle. This time I want a barrel. This time, thanks to Lord Lawn, I will drink until your liver hurts."

Storm Stout is azure in color, and you can smell the aroma when the barrel is opened.

Crown took the wine glass handed to him, sniffed it carefully, and said with a smile: "It has the scent of golden hops."

Golden hop is a mutant product of hop. The wine made from it is clear and refreshing, but has a strong aftertaste.

This mutant hop is rare, and the amount needed to brew two barrels of wine is quite expensive.

An expert. Rivegaz was delighted and spoke more enthusiastically: "Yes, you must be a wine lover. This is the fine wine I have collected for many years. I got two barrels that year. Today we will not leave until we are drunk. Your Excellency, please!"

Crown didn't smell anything wrong with the drink, so he tilted his head back and drank it.

The fragrance stimulated the taste buds, and as the wine was drunk, a heat rose from the dantian and lower abdomen. All the pores in the body opened and breathed in the air greedily.

“Good wine!”

As soon as Theo heard that the wine was brewed from golden hops, he couldn't help himself. Seeing Crown drink it, he hurriedly drank his own glass.

"Good wine, haha."

After three rounds of drinks, Clown explained his purpose: "I need a special kind of stone, golden in color, and warm to the touch. I heard Theo mentioned that you have a piece of raw stone here. I wonder if you still have it?"

"Yes, yes," Rivigaz replied hastily, "I'll get it for you right now."

After saying that, he ran out at a speed that was extremely disproportionate to his size.

"This miser actually took out the Storm Brewed with Golden Hops, which is clearly a flattery for you. I am relying on your help today, otherwise I would not have this pleasure.

Sir, let’s fill it up.”

Theo filled both of their glasses and toasted with Crown again.

By the time Rivergaz trotted back, there was not much left in the barrel.

He lifted the stone with both hands and said, "Look, sir, this is what you said. We call it 'Ming Huangshi'.

Vessels made of this stone can maintain temperature, which is amazing.”

In fact, this function is not worth mentioning, at least for the silver powerhouses.

He didn't understand what the other party liked about this kind of stone, but he knew that he had already established a connection with the other party.

In the world of spiritual vision, the warm jade emitted a faint golden glow, and Clown could see the size of the jade inside through the stone skin.

A little yellow can be seen on the edge of this rough stone.

He determined that he could at least cut out two jade talismans the size of bricks, and he was very happy and said generously:

"I want the item, what's the price?"

He did not hide his satisfaction at all, because he did not think he would be ripped off unless the other party was a fool who wanted to make a one-time deal.

Speaking of the price, Rivigaz immediately perked up: "Sir, if this stone is favored by the right buyer, one pound can be sold for five gold spirit coins.

I'll have the stonemason polish it and weigh it now, what do you think?"

When it comes to business, he won't give things away for free, otherwise people will simply feel that he has ulterior motives. The more high-end people he deals with, the more he must have his own ethics so as not to be looked down upon.

"Okay, hurry up."

Crown nodded. Even if the other party gave him something as a gift, he would keep the corresponding property. He disdained to take advantage of a businessman.

"Come in," Rivegaz shouted at the top of his voice.

When he went to get the Minghuang Stone, he had already notified his best stonemason to follow him, and he was right outside the door.

A rough man with dark skin walked in, bowed and said, "Mr. Rivegaz, distinguished guests, hello."

"Mason, let these two distinguished guests see your cooking skills."
