Chapter 717
For Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen, and for this magical world, the Pope's life is more beneficial than harmful.
Not to mention whether the two have the ability to kill the Pope completely, the Pope's ability to save his life is only slightly more sophisticated than Kurt's. Once the Pope is really dead, this magical world will probably fall into chaos, because the Pope and the Church have countless believers, and the Pope's death will drive countless loyal believers crazy.
So it would be better to keep him and slowly weaken the influence and authority of the Church among the people. By then, the Pope's death or life will not be so important.
In addition to Leo's disappearance, there was another person who suffered the same fate. The son of the city lord who was suspected to be reborn, whom Yuan Jing and his friends had met in the Wind God Empire, seemed to have disappeared completely. After Leo disappeared, the two of them did a quick investigation and found that his existence seemed to have been deliberately erased, so they guessed that this person had also fallen into the hands of the Pope.
The two still remembered how high-spirited the city lord's son was. He must have wanted to use his foresight and talent to make a name for himself in this world. However, before his grand plan could begin, few people remembered his existence.
I don’t know how many special cases like the city lord’s son there are in this world. These cases can only confirm one thing, that the Pope is the real big boss behind the scenes, and those so-called time travelers and reborn people are just grasshoppers jumping around in the front.
If Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen were not strong enough, they would have ended up like Leo and others, becoming stepping stones for the Pope's promotion.
The elves simultaneously received news from the outside world. At first, when the Church and the Dark Continent confronted each other, the elves hoped to see both of them suffer losses, but they also knew that the Church was not so easy to influence. When the Church failed to achieve its goal and retreated and reached an agreement with the Dark Continent not to interfere with each other, the elves were very shocked that someone could actually force the Pope to back down.
The tribesmen outside sent back the video of the battle. The Elf King looked at the man and the dragon confronting the Pope in the video and said, "This must be the magician You that Meili mentioned. He is quite capable. At such a young age, he was able to bring the Pope to this point. Over the years, has the Pope ever given in to anyone?"
The Elf Elder beside him nodded and said, "Yes, Meili mentioned that this person once wanted to visit our elves. But in the future, if the power of the Dark Continent really develops to the point where it can compete with the Church, will this person be another Pope?"
The Elf King said, "The dragons have not appeared for many years, but this time they appeared in the Dark Continent and left the black dragon and the red dragon there. It is obvious that the two sides have reached some kind of agreement. Compared to the Beast King whose whereabouts are unknown now, I think this magician You is more trustworthy."
When mentioning the human Leo, all the elves present had bad expressions. He was a pervert. When he broke into the elven territory, his eyes were glued to the female elf and he could hardly move away. If it weren't for the orcs, they would have wanted to beat him out. Because of such a pervert, the Elf King was unwilling to agree to the suggestions he made.
It turned out that Leo was really useless. Compared with Magician Yu and the Black Dragon, he was not even qualified to carry their shoes. Those two had confronted the Pope head-on, but Leo was actually playing cozy with the Church, which made the elves feel sick.
"Forget it, let's wait and see for a while." Finally, the Elf King waved his hand and ended the conversation. At the same time, these images and news from the outside were transmitted to the ears of other alien races through the elves.
"Is it him?!"
People from the Tree People and the Dwarf Tribe recognized You Yuanjing. Wasn't he the human magician who had saved them from the slave traders? This surprised both tribes.
The dwarves even brought a surprising piece of news: "I have received news from the goblins. They want to seek refuge in the Dark Continent. If they are willing to accept them, I am afraid that the goblins will have to move to the Dark Continent this time."
The Treeman chief was shocked and asked, "Aren't the Goblins afraid of being wiped out by the humans?"
The chief of the dwarves said, "They want to make a bet. Even if they don't surrender or move this time, how long can the goblins last? I also heard that the Dark Continent has produced a lot of good things, which is very attractive to the goblins. You know, those goblins are just a bunch of mechanical lunatics."
"But it is said that the rules issued by the Dark Continent are very strict. No matter who they are, whether they are other magicians, dark and necromancer magicians, or vampires, anyone who dares to kill people will be killed without mercy. This is much more realistic than the high-sounding set of the Church. The Church's methods of dealing with heretics are very cruel."
The Treeman chief looked at the Dwarf chief and said, "Are you tempted?"
The chief of the dwarves took a sip of wine and said, "Let's first see what the situation of the goblins is like. If the two lords of the Dark Continent are really courageous enough to accept foreign races, our dwarves' skills may be of some use to the two lords."
The Treeman chief opened his mouth, not knowing how to continue with this sentence. Compared with the Dwarves, the Treemen were more wary of the Humans.
However, this time, because Yuan Jing came to the rescue of their people, the female tree people and the female dwarf did not become Leo's harem as in the plot. They also turned down Leo's envoys who came to persuade them, so Leo's goal of borrowing the power of other races was not fully achieved. He only won over the power of the Orcs, and that was very forced.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. In ten years, the Dark Continent achieved Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen's original vision. The newly built city on the border was extremely prosperous and was known as the freest city in the magical world. In addition to the human race, which had the largest population, there were also vampires, dragons, orcs, goblins and dwarves who appeared and opened shops to do business with the foreign humans. These alien races were all protected by the Lord's Mansion of the Dark Continent. Anyone who dared to attack the alien races would be considered an enemy of the entire Dark Continent.
Because of this situation, even the elves officially settled in this city two years ago and opened an elf shop, which attracted countless merchants and tourists to come and trade and watch. The open atmosphere of this city also makes more and more people willing to stay.
It's not that the Church had thought about interfering privately, but every time it extended a hand, it was ruthlessly cut off by the Dark Continent. Then some negative news about the Church would spread on the continent. Even if the Church knew that it was the Dark Continent forces who were behind this, it didn't bother to get entangled with them. The most important thing was to work hard to save the image of the Church.
As a result of this back and forth, the Dark Continent's image abroad has become better and better. In the past, the Dark Continent represented darkness and sin, but now it tends to represent freedom and light. On the contrary, the Church has shown a downward trend due to more and more negative news being exposed.
The blood slaves that were originally sent to the vampires and who were still alive and willing to return to reunite with their families were sent back one after another by the vampires. The appearance of these people was the heaviest blow to the Church. They were the best living evidence, exposing the hypocritical faces of the Church and the clergy.
At that time, the Church took the worst possible approach and sent members of the Inquisition to kill people to silence them. However, at the critical moment, these repatriated blood slaves were rescued. This shocked many people. Some people had previously believed what the Church said, saying that the enemy deliberately framed them in order to discredit the Church. However, this move was tantamount to the Church putting itself in danger. No amount of explanation could make up for their own actions, which led to a large number of believers leaving the Church and distancing themselves from the Church.
This situation of one side gaining while the other side losing made the cardinal of the Holy See so anxious that his hair turned mostly white. In ten years, his strength had not improved at all and had even regressed. He most hoped that the Pope would come out to preside over the situation, but the Pope was always in seclusion and never came out. He could only watch the Dark Continent develop better and better.
The Magicians' Guild also established a branch in the city. David, the president, often used his position to go to the Dark Continent, ostensibly for work but actually to exchange magic with You Yuanjing. Magicians' Guilds in other places still had prejudices against dark and undead magicians. The only place without prejudice and treating everyone equally was the Dark Continent, and the Magicians' Guild here also followed local customs.
Because of the frequent exchanges, David also touched a little bit about the God of Law. Maybe if he is given more time, it won't be a big problem to upgrade to the God of Law. But before that, he is worried about one thing: "It has been ten years. The Pope has been in seclusion and has not asked about the outside world for ten years. When he comes out, I am afraid that his strength will be further improved. Then he will come to trouble you again."
Although he was worried about Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen, sometimes he felt that the aura of these two people was becoming more and more difficult to understand. Sometimes they were right in front of him, but they seemed to be non-existent, blending into one with the world; sometimes he felt that they were unfathomable. If he could predict what he could do, then these two could not be unprepared.
Yuan Jing put down the teacup, looked up at the sky outside with Yan Yuansen, and then walked out confidently: "The president is so smart, he is coming soon, we will be back soon."
David looked up in surprise. He really just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the Pope would come as soon as he said it.
These two are almost becoming the Pope's inner demons. The first thing he does when he comes out is not to put the affairs of the Church in order, but to compete with these two.
David immediately notified his friends, such as Cheng Lianhui and Flynn, about the renewed battle between the Pope and Yuan Jingyan and Yuan Sen. How could they miss it if they wanted to get close to the God of Magic?
This time the three of them directly tore through the space and came outside. There was a space storm around them, but it became docile when it came to them. The figures of David and others appeared one after another, watching this battle of the century from afar.
"The girl is in your hands." The Pope looked at Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen indifferently and said with certainty.
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "So Leo was taken away by the Pope, and so were the others. It seems that the Pope gained a lot from them."
