After a few quiet days in Rome, I had just finished my weight and was doing tai chi on the lawn that morning, when three black cars were parked in front of the villa, and I looked up to see that it was Odin, who had come with him and five other members of the Templar Order.

I quickly greeted them and led them into the villa, where we sat on a sofa in the living room next to the floor-to-ceiling window, with the lawn and garden outside.

"You're really going to enjoy it, it's more beautiful than a national park." Slote stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the scenery and admiring.

"This place was bought by Thea, and you know she always picks the best." I smiled and asked, "What do you want to drink?" Coffee or tea! ”

"Coffee, I'm not used to tea, but the archbishop likes it!" Slote pointed to Odin.

"OK, wait a minute!" I took out the dragon well that Xia bought for me from the drawer, although it was not the best, but it was also a top grade, and it was good to be able to drink such tea in Rome, and then took out the best coffee from the young master's private collection, and made a cup for each of the Slote and them.

"Why does the archbishop have time to visit us today?" Sitting on the couch, I asked while washing tea.

"I'm here to thank you, if it weren't for your help in Sri Lanka, my old bones wouldn't be able to go back to Rome." Odin's sincere look made me a little embarrassed, to be honest, it wasn't my intention to save him at all, if it weren't for the goddess pulling me to Sri Lanka, I wouldn't have gone to that kind of hellish place.

"You're welcome, that's what Thea meant." I put all the credit on the goddess, it doesn't matter if I feel grateful or not, but I should ask for favors, after all, I came to Rome this time to ask for help.

"Come, Mr. Odin, try the Longjing tea I brewed, which is very famous in China." I poured out a cup of brewed tea and handed it to Odin.

"It's very fragrant, I didn't expect the assassins to also study the tea ceremony." Odin picked up the teacup and sniffed it, then took a shallow sip.

"Laughing, I don't know tea at all, I'm just learning to look like it!" I smiled softly, took a sip of the teacup, and the slightly bitter taste rushed into my mouth, and after a while, there was a faint sweetness, and there was a feeling of bitterness, it was indeed a good tea.

"Why is it that you're alone at home and everyone else?" Slote suddenly asked suspiciously.

"Thea is still sleeping, and the others are training in the back of the villa, and this time is coming back soon." I looked at my watch, and in about half an hour, everyone would be back.

"You're so diligent!" Slote gave a thumbs up.

"No way, our life is like this, if you don't practice for three days, your body will rust!" I patted the muscles in my chest and laughed.

"You talk first, I'll go to the back and see how Caesar's warriors train!" Slote put down his coffee cup and said hello to the other Templar brothers, leaving the two others to follow Slote.

After they left, the room was quiet, I picked up the teapot and filled Odin's teacup, and then asked lightly: "Archbishop, I have always suspected that the two assassinations against you were premeditated assassinations, if I guessed correctly, it was someone within the Holy See who wanted to deal with you, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes, I'm still alive, it's the best result, it's really not easy for the Holy See to have today's stability, I don't want it to be ruined in my hands." Odin said earnestly.

Obviously, he understands everything, but for the sake of the stable development of the Holy See, he is unwilling to investigate, let alone expand the incident, otherwise it will provoke infighting between the two parties, and the Holy See will be torn apart.

It seems that the purpose of his coming to me today is not just to say thank you, he doesn't want us to get involved too much and continue to oppose the cardinal, Odin is too kind, he only wants to take a step back and open the sky, but he doesn't think about whether he is raising a tiger by doing so.

Of course, I didn't tell him these words, after all, it was someone else's business, and it had nothing to do with Caesar's mercenaries, and since Odin didn't need help, we were happy to relax.

"I see, don't worry, I know what to do!" I smiled and nodded, smart people don't have to say too much between themselves.

"Then I'll rest assured, are your injuries okay?" Odin asked, taking a sip of tea.

"It's just a small injury, it's been fine for a long time." I picked up the teapot and refilled it for him. Then he put down the teapot and said with some embarrassment, "Archbishop, I want to ask you for help with something." ”

"You're welcome, just say that as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Odin didn't have any excuses, he owed me so much favor, and he should have done some help.

"Actually, we came to Rome this time for another purpose besides visiting you." Speaking of this, I paused slightly and said, "Thea and I are going to get married in Rome, and I would like to ask you to officiate at our wedding." ”

"Really? Great, Xia's child is finally getting married, no problem, I'm her uncle, so naturally I have to preside over for her. "Odin was happy, it didn't seem like a happy friend, it was more like a family member.

"Where do you want to have your wedding?" Odin's old face burst into laughter.

"I promised Thea to marry her in the biggest church in the world." I hesitated, but said it anyway.

"You mean...... St. Peter's Basilica in Rome? Odin frowned slightly, and asked uncertainly.

I took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I know it's a bit difficult, I'm willing to pay any price, please help me figure it out." ”

Hearing this, Odin got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looked at the garden outside the window and was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, and said: "This can't be done, that's impossible, St. Peter's Basilica is a place of pilgrimage for all believers, the holiest place in Catholicism, even if I agree, other congregants will not agree, let alone the Pope." ”

"Is there no other way?" I asked, unrelentingly.

"No, this will definitely not be possible, except for St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, other churches may be negotiable." Odin gave me a direct denial and was very resolute.

"Maybe I can do it myself!" I flicked the teacup lightly and sneered slightly, since he couldn't do it, then use my own way to solve it.

"I know what you're going to do, but I advise you not to do that, and you don't want your wedding to become a battlefield, do you?" Odin saw what I was thinking at a glance.

"But I promised Thea!" I lowered my head and my tone became cold, for her I could be the enemy of the world, let alone the Holy See.

"I promise Thea won't agree to you, remember, she's a Catholic." Odin hit the nail on the head, and when I heard this, I suddenly looked up, yes, I was so bent on fulfilling my promise that I ignored Thea's thoughts, she would never allow me to be an enemy of the Holy See.
