The envoy sent by the Pope of the Holy Light Empire is a Great Shepherd of the Holy Light Empire, whose name is Aste, although the rank of the Great Shepherd of the Scepter is not conspicuous among the high-level shepherds of the Holy Light Empire, but the position of the secretary of Pope Astor's side has clearly indicated his identity as the confidant of the Pope of the Holy Light Empire.

Regarding the identity of this envoy, before Zhang Tie met him, Jinpeng Bank had already made a full explanation to the Holy Iceland Kingdom.

On April 19, Astor came to the Ice and Snow Wasteland on a Fortune Wings Bank flying boat, and on the 20th, Zhang Tiecai met Astor in a pavilion in the garden of the Summer Palace.

According to diplomatic rules, after Astor came to St. Petersburg, he first met with Elder Gulas in charge of foreign affairs in the Council of Cardinals of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, although he met with the Cardinal Council again, and then met with Empress Aurora, who listened to the government, and settled the release and compensation matters of the Holy Light Empire's seizure and interception of some merchant ships of the Holy Iceland Kingdom and the capture and detention of some merchants on the Western Continent from the second half of last year to March this year, and then met Zhang Tie in the garden of the summer palace.

Astor was in his 50s, slightly chubby, with a warm smile on his face, if it weren't for the robe of the Holy Light Empire he was wearing and the knightly fluctuations and aura faintly released from his body, such a person would be like an ordinary bar owner.

All the big guys, either handsome, ugly, perverted, or have some strange hobbies or outstanding temperaments - these things. It's all the plots of novels and stories, when I was in Black Flame City before. Zhang Tie also thinks so, but with the growth of experience. Zhang Tie slowly found that this kind of thinking is completely nonsense, many people who can do the position of big people are indeed different in appearance or temperament, which is impressive, but what Zhang Tie has seen the most is at least the big people above the knight rank, if you don't care about the strength. More than 80 percent of them are definitely not very different from ordinary people in appearance.

Zhang Tie himself is not too outstanding in appearance, if you want to say that Yushu Lin's style is better than Pan An, these adjectives are estimated to be a little far from Zhang Tie.

Astor is also such a person, this person looks ordinary on the outside, but how can he be ordinary if he can become the Pope's henchman in a place like the Holy Light Empire, and is relied on by the Pope.

From the first glance of seeing Astor. Zhang Tie was not blinded by the smile on Aster's face, but secretly reminded himself in his heart.

"Holy Light Empire, Grand Pastor of the Holy See, and Secretary of the Pope's Chamberlain, Astor, has seen Your Majesty!" When he saw Zhang Tie, Astor stroked his chest with his sincere right hand and bowed to Zhang Tie according to the rules.

"I'm not a tsar anymore. You can call me Zhang Tie or Qianji Zhenren, please take a seat! Zhang Tie indifferently asked Astor to sit down.

Two people sit in a gazebo surrounded by a pond. There is also a garden, which is now in April. It's the best time of year for the whole of the Ice Wastes and the Gozdali Plains, and it's a few days away. It is the traditional Slav flower picking festival in the ice and snow wasteland, although it has not yet reached the flower picking festival, but the garden of the summer palace has already been full of all kinds of flowers, roses, pansies, calendulas, irises bloom everywhere, groups of bees and butterflies fly around in the garden, sitting in the gazebo, you can feel the fragrance of flowers, make people's minds suddenly quiet.

"The worldly crown worn on the head is conspicuous and easy to put down, but the crown of faith established in the heart of man is invisible, but it is immortal!" Astor said, generously came to Zhang Tie, sat down on the chair opposite Zhang Tie, and looked at Zhang Tie generously.

Compared with Aster, Zhang Tie's appearance of sixteen or seventeen years old now and the reputation of the human race that does not match this appearance make Astor even more curious and inquisitive.

Zhang Tie laughed, "That's a good saying, intangible things are more valuable than tangible things in many cases!" ”

"I didn't say this, it was our Pope His Majesty!"

"In this way, we also have a common language, and your Majesty the Pope, I often value the intangible more than the tangible......"

Zhang Tie took the initiative to release a trace of sincerity for reconciliation, the so-called Sky Knight and Half Paladin, no matter what the legend is outside, Zhang Tie knows that it is all fake, in the conflict with the Holy Light Empire, he may be able to take advantage of the Holy Light Empire once or twice, but the background of the Holy Light Empire is too deep compared to the Holy Iceland Kingdom, the two sides are not an order of magnitude at all, and the Pope of the Holy Light Empire is the real Sky Knight, The Holy Iceland Kingdom's advantage in the contest with the Holy Light Empire cannot be maintained for a long time, and since the other party is willing to negotiate peace, this is also in Zhang Tie's arms.

Take advantage of the fact that he still has a good hand of cards in his hand, strive for the greatest interests of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, and also solve the threat of the Holy Light Empire by the way, otherwise there is such an enemy as the Holy Light Empire staring at the Ice and Snow Wasteland at any time, even if Zhang Tie takes Aurora and them back to Taixia, he is not at ease with the Ice and Snow Wasteland. At this time, there is really no need for the two sides to break the net. Against a strong enemy like the Holy Light Empire, just being soft is not enough, the other party will swallow you completely with a belt and bones, there is not a single hair left, and it is not good to be completely hard, once these people who have been brainwashed by religion jump off the wall in a hurry, they can do anything, they can beat the other party to vomit blood, and they can give the other party the next step, not completely tear their faces, this is the way to get along with the Holy Light Empire, to fight, but to fight without breaking!

Zhang Tie's words really made Astor's eyes light up, this time he came to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, Astor's task was actually not easy, for the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Iceland Kingdom was just a small sesame, for this little sesame, the bastard of Occam in the Eastern Diocese and his subordinates caused a bunch of shit, and finally wanted to put the honor and reputation of the entire Holy Light Empire into it, and it was possible for His Majesty the Pope to provoke a strong enemy at the firmament or half-saint level, and let His Majesty the Pope help him wipe his ass, His Holiness the Pope's anger can be imagined.

"In the midst of the Holy Light Empire. The powers of the Holy Light Pastors in the major dioceses are very great, and there are many things. Decisions can be made within the diocese without the consent of His Holiness the Pope of the Holy See. This Eastern Diocesan expedition to the Holy Kingdom of Iceland was definitely not the intention of His Holency the Pope, and it was also a regrettable mistake, and His Holiness was very angry about this result! ”

"I also believe that in the eyes of His Majesty the Holy Light Empire, His Majesty the Pope will not make such a big deal for such a small place as the Holy Iceland Kingdom......," Zhang Tie also said with a smile.

What Astor said is indeed somewhat true, the power of the Holy Light Empire's expedition to the Holy Icelandic Kingdom comes from the Eastern Diocese under the command of Occam, because the Holy Iceland Kingdom is too small. There can be no surprises in such conquests and wars, and even if the Pope knows about it, he doesn't care at all, and will completely acquiesce to the actions of the Eastern Diocese, but once this action fails, the result is not what the Pope wants to see.

"Occam bears unshirkable responsibility for this......"

"I think so, too!"

"The Holy Light Empire will not shy away from Occam's mistakes. But His Majesty the Pope also wants to know if Occam is still alive now, and if so, if so, whether the Holy Kingdom of Iceland can hand him over to us! Astor said as he stared into Zhang Tie's eyes.

Check if there is a sky behind the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. If Occam is alive, bring him back, which is one of Astor's main purposes for coming to the Ice Wasteland this time.

on this issue. Zhang Tie has long had a belly case.

Zhang Tie shook his head and said indifferently. "I don't know if Occam is still alive, that day. In the midst of the crisis, Occam showed great ability, and the whole person escaped from the battle at a speed of about eight times the speed of sound in an instant, and flew towards the northwest direction of the Ice and Snow Wasteland......

Aster's eyes lit up suddenly, Occam has mastered the secret method of the light of life, only the secret method of the light of life can allow Occam to escape from St. Petersburg at such a speed in a critical situation, His Majesty the Pope said that the flight speed of Occam to cast the light of life is about eight times the speed of sound, this secret, even in the Holy Light Empire, only a few people know, Zhang Tie can accurately say the flight speed of Occam to cast the light of life, then it is definitely not made up, so that Occam can use the light of life to escape, thenThe fact that there is at least one Sky Knight behind the Holy Iceland Kingdom should be true, except for the Sky Knight, who can let Occam use the light of life to escape in a hurry?

After casting the light of life to escape from St. Petersburg, Occam has not contacted His Majesty the Pope until now, it seems that life and death are really uncertain, not that he was seriously injured in the battle with the Sky Knight to the point of life and death, Occam will not cast such a secret method, the northwest direction of the ice and snow wasteland can fly into the frozen continent, which is a vast no-man's land, which can be far away from the sphere of influence of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, making it impossible for people to even find it, which is also in line with Occam's heart at the time.

"I don't know the K......night of the Skies who sits in the Holy Kingdom of Iceland," Astor asked carefully

"That's a friend I used to know in the Earth Metaverse, we are old friends, he has no reputation, his personality is also a little eccentric, he likes to be quiet, and now he is in retreat somewhere in the Ice and Snow Wasteland......" Zhang Tie said with a serious face, just like the real thing.

After all kinds of thoughts turned around in Astor's head, Aste's hand moved, and suddenly there was an extra scroll, he put the scroll on the table, handed it to Zhang Tie, with a sincere face, "This is a little heart and expression from His Majesty the Pope, Your Majesty hopes that this gift can be used to show that the Holy Light Empire has no ambitions for the territory of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, and it can also be used to clear up the misunderstanding between the Holy Iceland Kingdom and the Holy Light Empire......"

Zhang Tie opened the scroll and was a little surprised to find that on the scroll, it was actually a map, the name of the map was marked with the Holy Light Empire Fadilan Province, Fadilan Province is a piece of land in the southwest corner of the Western Continent, far away from the Holy Light Empire, the northeast of Fadilan Province is next to a country called the Barbarian Alliance, and the northwest is adjacent to another powerful Ressa Republic on the Western Continent, there is a coastline in the south of this land, and the area on the map is about 10 million square kilometers, It's about half the size of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, but it's definitely bigger than Zhang Tie's Candle Dragon Leader, of course. Compared to the Holy Light Empire and the Western Continent, this area of land is also the gap between sesame seeds and apples and the millstone. In the Western continent can only be considered a small country.

Zhang Tie raised his head and looked at Aster.

"This is an enclave that the Holy Light Empire acquired decades ago, far from the territory of the Holy Light Empire. The area is not big, in the future, this place will be yours......"

Zhang Tie looked at Astor seriously for a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face, put the scroll away, and stretched out his hand, "At the moment of the holy war, peace should be the common demand of the Terran countries, and the past will let him pass......"

"Smack......" Astor smiled and high-fived Zhang Tie.

……

Less than half an hour after Astor left the garden of the summer palace. Zhang Tie also obtained the information of this "gift" from the Holy Light Empire from Jinpeng Bank - the predecessor of the Fadilan Province was the Fadilan Empire on the Western Continent, since the Holy Light Empire made the Fadilan Empire "voluntarily merge" the Fadilan Empire through various means sixty years ago, and then made the royal family of the Fadilan Empire extinct, this land has also become the Fadilan Province of the Holy Light Empire.

But for 60 years, there have been troubles in this land, and it turns out that the nobles of the Fadilan Empire have been constantly rebelling with the covert support of the Barbarian Alliance and the Resa Republic, and it has become almost the norm for the shepherds and great shepherds of the Holy Light God Cult to be assassinated here, for the sake of face. Whether it is dignity or not, the Holy Light Empire has been working hard to maintain the rule of this land, and has never completely digested this land, so this time there is a chance. The Holy Light Empire just threw this piece of chicken ribs out in the open and used it to quell the conflict with the Holy Iceland Kingdom, which just killed two birds with one stone.

Intentions for the Holy Light Empire. Zhang Tie didn't care, in Zhang Tie's opinion. The most rare thing about this land is that it has a springboard and base for entering the Western Continent. And more importantly. The more than 10 million square kilometers of land, in terms of area, is really not small, and the richness of that land, although it is backward in the Western Continent, should be much stronger than the ice and snow wasteland.

This conflict with the Holy Light Empire was really earned.

Unlike the Ice and Snow Wasteland, which belonged to the various tribes of the Slavs, the land that Zhang Tie obtained from the Holy Light Empire was obtained by Zhang Tie by relying on his own ability from beginning to end, and did not use a single soldier of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, and the Holy Light Empire also indicated that it would give this land to Zhang Tie instead of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, naturally, this land also belonged to Zhang Tie's private property.

Zhang Tie doesn't care about the current situation in Fadilan Province, and he doesn't care if he can effectively rule this land now, since the Holy Light Empire gave him this land, then, legally, he and his descendants are already the masters of this land, and no one can replace him, as long as he wants, he can get everything back in name to this land at any time.

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Tie gathered his women and children in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, like a family gathering, in a room in the summer palace, pointed out the map and the corresponding supporting documents left by the Holy Light Empire to his children, and told everyone, "Andrei is your brother, the Holy Iceland Kingdom is what I left to Andrei, when you grow up in the future, if you want land, then, this land in the Western Continent will be left to you, which is considered my fief for you, If you don't even have the ability to keep what I gave you, then don't have other ideas, just live a peaceful and peaceful life! ”

For Alexander, what Zhang Tie said made them seem to understand it, but Zhang Tie's women, everyone looked at each other and nodded. Zhang Tie has too many children, and as the mother of Zhang Tie's children, at this time, she has to think about the future of her children.

……

After the reconciliation with the Holy Light Empire, Zhang Tie stayed in St. Petersburg for more than a month.

Whether it is Olena or Aurora, they took their children to return to Taixia with Zhang Tie this time, although they will not go all the time, but this time, they also have a long-term plan, they have a lot of things to deal with in the Ice and Snow Wasteland and the Ewindara Islands, they are not going with Zhang Tie alone, they have to bring some people with them, and it will take almost a month to get these things sorted out.

On May 9th, at the request of Zhang Tie, Jin Quandao drove a Tianyun-class flying boat to Zhang Tie directly to the summer palace in St. Petersburg.

This Tianyun-level flying boat was specially made by Jin Quandao for Zhang Tie, in terms of specifications, it is already the elder-level car of Taixia Governor and the Seven Great Sects, and the flying boat that Zhang Tie won from Taiyi Xuanmen before is also a Tianyun-level flying boat, both in terms of specifications and internal luxury, it is second to none among all the flying boats.

The arrival of this flying boat naturally caused a sensation again in St. Petersburg, such a large flying boat, there are absolutely not many people who have seen it in the entire ice and snow wasteland, let alone take it, not to mention Zhang Tie's women and children, and even the elders of the cardinal elder group have come to visit the flying boat one by one......

This new flying ship is the new Iron Dragon.

A week after the Iron Dragon arrived in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, Zhang Tie took Aurora and his children and set off for Taixia......

That is, in the month when Zhang Tie got rid of the affairs on the ice and snow wasteland and returned to Taixia, the most serious crisis in Taixia since the Holy War finally broke out...... (To be continued.) )
