Father Solger was speechless and looked towards the end of the street again.
He turned around and said, "Let's go to the temple to meet the Pope first, and then we can come and take a look later."
Lai Gou'er nodded in agreement.
The two continued on their way forward.
The location of the temple is very eye-catching. There is a small hill behind this majestic city of the holy city.
As soon as you enter the city, the most eye-catching location is the Temple Mount at the back of the city. The densely packed buildings on the mountain can be seen at a glance.
When the two arrived at the foot of the Temple Mount, they suddenly felt a powerful force coming towards them from below.
The mountain is not high, but combined with the golden buildings on the mountain, it gives off a sense of mystery and grandeur.
Lai Gou'er couldn't help but sigh, he thought he was quite knowledgeable.
The luxury of the Temple Mount at this moment was truly an eye-opener for him.
It’s not that we haven’t seen gilded buildings before, but to use them on such a large area, the amount of gold required is simply incalculable.
Father Soljie was obviously shocked as well. He was dazzled by the many towering buildings.
He murmured, "The Temple... Is this the Temple?"
Lai Gou'er said with emotion: "This holy temple you've been dreaming of is really extraordinary. Living in a place like this, I think you can be compared with the gods."
Father Solger came to his senses and walked towards the stairs at the foot of the Temple Mount without responding.
The stairs were still guarded by two soldiers in shiny silver armor. Judging from the sophistication of their attire, they were a level better than the guards at the city gate.
Father Solje had already taken out the archbishop's letter of appointment and handed it to the guard, then he took Lai Gou'er and began to introduce himself.
"This is the situation. Do you want us to go in directly or do we need to inform them first?" asked Father Solger.
The guard said nothing, but looked at Father Solje and Lai Gouer with a smile.
Just over ten seconds passed like this without any unnecessary reaction.
Father Soljie frowned and asked, "Why don't you two speak?"
The guard still smiled.
Seeing this, Lai Gouer pushed the priest aside, took out his purse, took out two silver coins and handed them to the guard.
The guard looked at the silver coin and finally spoke: "Which of you two needs to be reported?"
Damn, they even added a surcharge after coming in.
Lai Gou'er suddenly understood and took out two silver coins and handed them over.
The guard smiled brightly and gave Lai Gouer an appreciative look.
This stranger seemed much more sensible, unlike the archbishop who came to be baptized, who was stupid and didn't know how to deal with things!
"According to the procedure, the archbishop can meet the Pope after being baptized again. Where are you from, you outsider?" asked the guard.
"Da Jing!"
"Oh, Dajing. If it was your emperor who came to see the Pope, the Pope could meet him directly, but you...your status is too low, the Pope will not see you. You said you were here to do business with other countries and wanted to communicate with the church in advance, so you should find the financial officer." The guard took the money and spoke very responsibly.
Emperor Dajing meets with the Pope?
Lai Gou'er was extremely contemptuous. If he really saw it, the Pope would have to kneel down. He wondered whether the church would agree.
"Then may I ask where should I go to find it, Treasurer?"
The guard puffed out his chest and resumed his normal guarding duties like a robot.
Lai Gouer took out another silver coin and handed it over.
The guard smiled and said, "He's also in the temple. I'll go and inform you and I'll be right back."
“….”
It's so fucking rotten to the core. How can such a corrupt church control so many countries? It's really weird!
Lai Gou'er cursed in his heart and turned to look at Father Soljie.
Father Solje was standing there with a wooden expression on his face, motionless, as if his soul had left his body.
Lai Gou'er didn't notice that the moment he took out the silver coin, Father Soljie had already lost his mind.
A huge sense of loss came over my head.
He could understand that the guards in the city took money for their own benefit, but the guards at the foot of the Temple Mount also did the same thing and took even more money....
Seeing that he didn't move, Lai Gouer pushed him.
Father Solger's legs went limp and he squatted down, burying his head in his knees.
Sobbing: "Why the hell is this happening!!!"
Lai Gou'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and just let him squat on the ground.
The priest is an extremely devout Christian who has been educated by the church since childhood. He probably has woven many beautiful fantasies about the holy city in his mind. It is normal that he cannot bear the blow now.
But it’s okay. You’ll get used to it after seeing it more often. You can’t always be so honest.
It is rare that this guy can keep a pure heart even though he does all the hard work at the bottom level....
Father Solger lay on the ground sobbing for a few minutes, then stood up and wiped his eyes.
Lai Gou'er asked, "Okay?"
Father Solger nodded, his eyes firm: "Okay, I will tell the Pope everything about this. These people have been corrupted."
Lai Gou'er pursed his lips and shook his head.
There's no hope... It's amazing that he can brainwash himself to this extent.
Not long after, the guard came back and said straight to the point: "You two, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the Pope for a while. The Pope is receiving a very important guest and will not be available for at least ten days. He will not see anyone else now, including the Treasurer. Please come next time."
Lai Gou'er frowned and said, "What do you mean at least ten days? Can't he spare any time in the meantime?"
The guard said, "You are lucky. I saw the Grand Chancellor, and he said it himself. Since he said the Pope will not see him, then he will definitely not see him. Your problems are all trivial. It's okay to wait a while."
