The two sat down.
Xiao Shuai said, "The news of Da Jing's presence in Feika has already reached the Pope's ears, so now the entire Feika is extremely hostile to Da Jing. If you rashly show up at the port, they will definitely take action."
"But there is room for maneuver. After you took the little king hostage, he fell seriously ill and is still in poor health. The Duke of Alvis is in charge of state affairs in Feika now. Although he is completely obedient to the church on the surface, privately... I know that he sold Dajing's goods on the black market without the church's knowledge."
"Those goods should be gifts given to Feika when our fleet came last time. It is said that he made a lot of money. This man is very greedy. Maybe he wants to continue cooperating with Dajing. So he is not the problem. The only problem is the church."
Kalemi interrupted him and said, "That's good. We have persuaded a priest to negotiate with the church. Is there any other news?"

No one dared to imagine that two people would be killed in a row, but it actually happened.
"I didn't believe it at first, but then the Pope went to the north to supervise the war in person. I verified it from many sources and found that the news is absolutely true!" Xiao Shuai showed admiration, "Someone actually dared to openly fight against the church. It's really a miracle. If it was an Oriental, I believe only the rebel king would have such courage."
"He even dared to rebel against Dajing, so what's the big deal about attacking a church?"
