Chapter 96 Andy's real solution

The dense branches and dead leaves completely blocked the afternoon sun.

Soldiers in full armor were walking in an orderly manner along the forest path.

Their mental outlook and external image were like a group of troops that had traveled from ancient times to the modern era.

But what is even more strange is not this group of "ancient soldiers", but the figures that spread out towards the forest in all directions, with the soldier team as the core.

These figures are so fast that they can disappear from ordinary people's sight in the blink of an eye.

It looks like a ghost, but once it stops, the face it reveals is completely different from those mysterious supernatural monsters.

Mechanical gears constitute their muscles, and prosthetic bodies made of mithril metal replace their frail bodies.

In the deep and ancient environment of the dark forest, the existence of these weirdos seems out of place, yet they also have a certain uncanny valley effect, which is inexplicably creepy.

An eagle half a man's height soared above the forest, overlooking the situation of all the people below.

Then it flapped its wings and flew all the way. In an uninhabited place, it suddenly turned into a black mist and disappeared without a trace.

As a result, Andy withdrew his "gaze" towards the forest.

…

"As extraordinary beings, our vitality is very tenacious."

In the academy outside the forest, a professor was explaining the course at the podium.

"What does this mean?"

"Resistant to blows? Can it adapt to various harsh environments? Not easy to die?"

“This was the view of people in ancient times.”

"But in modern times, the development of secular scientific concepts has led to the emergence of a special discipline."

"Heterology."

"Using this discipline, we can transplant the organs of some powerful life forms or some alchemical products into our bodies and gain powerful strength in a short period of time."

"Although doing so will..."

The teaching environment at St. Marian's College is very relaxed.

Except for a few courses that require full participation, most courses are elective.

The compulsory courses are some purely knowledge-based theological education, such as religious history, deeds of saints, interpretation of major classics, etc.

This course is obviously not a required course at the moment, nor is it even an elective.

Instead, it was a course that the academy temporarily launched after the treasure incident broke out.

Telling about different fields of knowledge based on the conditions in the forest can help students understand the current situation outside more easily.

It can be said that the college’s senior executives are very good at being flexible.

Andy, who had just arrived a few days ago, was taking this course.

But his mind was not on this.

"Your judgment is correct."

The black snake on his wrist was constantly conveying messages to him in secret language.

"After the Pope decided to enter the game, he did start negotiations with the Twelve Sacred Families."

It's the Holy Twelve, not St. Marian's College.

Of course, what the two sides discussed was not just the ownership of the Dark Forest, but also the game.

"During this period, you were also mentioned."

"I?"

Andy pretended to be curious and asked, "What did you say?"

"The person sent by the Pope to negotiate agreed to lift the targeting of the remnants, but required that the remnants not accept the Empire's minions, including you."

Black Snake chuckled and said, "So, although your plan was successful, the fruits of your harvest did not come out... It's really humiliating to be an unknown hero."

"The Twelve Families have close ties with the Empire."

Andy was not shocked. Hearing this, he said pointedly:

"Even if they get out of trouble, they still need your support to regain their foothold in the church. Otherwise, it will make no difference whether the trouble is solved or not."

"They really wouldn't be stupid enough to betray me, their only support, and the Pope doesn't have to chop off the hand I extended to him."

Black Snake said with a smile: "But he can allow other minions to enter, but he may not allow you, the saint, to exist."

This statement is not final, and it is obvious that the negotiations are not over yet.

But looking at this gloating attitude, you can tell that the situation is not optimistic.

Things were done secretly, and when things came to a conclusion, naturally no one would consider Andy.

Although Andy "didn't do anything", he just attracted some external forces, and the dilemma was easily solved.

But after all the hard work and planning to rescue the remnants from the predicament, he, the instigator, was kicked out in the end...

In the Queen's view, this was similar to the situation that the priest named Matthew in York had once faced.

Of course, since certain benefits were gained from this matter, the benefits would be even greater soon after, when the Pope discovered that the treasure was a hoax.

So what she said now was not just gloating.

Instead, he waited for Andy to beg him.

However, faced with this obvious hint, Andy seemed not to understand the meaning of the words, and was not even shocked by the news.

After hearing this, he just nodded, his expression without any worry.

This surprised Black Snake, who had been planning to listen to his request for help.

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

But then, she had a sudden thought and had some guess.

"You already have plans?"

"Tell me, even if I join the church, will things go smoothly?"

While Andy was listening to the class, he distractedly said in a secret voice: "Judge based on the fact that you don't make trouble for me, and even unite all the helpers including the twelve families to strongly support me."

"Everything will go smoothly until you reach a certain position. I can even guarantee that you will have the opportunity to enter the church headquarters and become a cardinal."

Black Snake said frankly: "But forget about climbing up further. Even if you are willing to become a cardinal, this process will take at least ten years."

Cardinals are eligible to run for Pope and are well-known figures in the Evangelical Church and the entire supernatural world.

Belonging to the group of people at the top of the pyramid.

Andy is only fifteen years old now, and he will be twenty-five in ten years.

Anyone who heard that one could become a cardinal at the age of 25 would find it very exaggerated and even think that he was talking in his sleep.

But since the emperor had spoken, it meant that if she was willing, she could definitely do it.

Yet, as her words suggest, could Andy be content to be just a cardinal?

His target is the Son.

But even with the full support of the empire, it would be impossible to get him this identity.

Even if the Empire revealed its intention to fully support Andy in becoming the Son of God.

Well, let alone becoming a cardinal, it is possible that Andy would be hated by all the core members of the church, or even be assassinated at the risk of taking risks.

It can be said that the Son is the core interest of the gospel church.

Other aspects can allow the Empire to intervene, but this is absolutely not possible! This is also the main reason why the Pope found Andy annoying before.

The structure of the Evangelical Church is loose, and not only the emperor of the empire, but even some evil cult organizations can place people in it.

Why pay attention to Andy?

Because six years later, that is, in the year 2000, it will be the time to select the next Holy Son and Holy Maiden.

Andy's identity is really special, and his talent is very strong...

"So."

Under the suspicious gaze of the black snake, Andy said meaningfully: "With my current conditions, I can't become the Son of God. After realizing this, what should I do?"

"Of course, it is to find new opportunities and create conditions for yourself."

Black Snake said: "But this is impossible. If you want to become the Son of God, your enemy is not only the Pope, but also the mainstream forces of the current church."

This kind of thing cannot be accomplished by how much strength or how smart one is.

If you want to be promoted in the Gospel Church system, you must speak according to the church’s rules…

However, who made these rules? Or, is there any existence that can crush all opposition forces, including the Pope, and make the impossible possible?

Andy didn't hide it anymore and said something calmly that stunned the other party.

"There is an archangel buried beneath the dark forest."

“I’m going to revive it.”
