Chapter 988: Second Blackmail
Tian Xian knew very well that the Holy Spirit Temple wanted to know how he got the news of the Longyuan Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But what Tianxian didn't expect was that he was actually invited to a strange tent again, obviously this is the Pope to invite him.
"Please. The knight, who didn't talk much, took Tian Xian to the tent and turned away by himself.
Tian Xian couldn't help but think, could this strange tent be like a spirit kite? It is used casually, the first time, listening to the Pope's meaning, it seems that this thing is still relatively expensive, but now it doesn't seem to be.
After pondering for a while, Tian Xian walked into the tent by himself, and it was still the small palace inside, where the Pope was, but this time a table of refreshments was prepared.
Tianxian couldn't help but smile, "Isn't the Pope in a hurry this time?"
The Pope's face was neither red nor white, "This place, if you calculate it carefully, can still be used for a lot of time." ā
Tian Xian thought to himself: Oh I am! You carefully calculate the time and extend it?
Thinking about it, Tian Xian sat down unceremoniously, looked at the refreshments on the table, and pouted, "Your Excellency, the Holy Spirit Temple is a holy place of human faith, why are the refreshments entertained to guests so shabby?"
The refreshments on the table are exquisite, from the food to the tea utensils, and even the sides of the snacks are carved with delicate patterns.
Shabby?
The Pope looked at the refreshments that would only be used to entertain distinguished guests, then touched his beard and smiled, "Although the temple is a holy place for human faith, we do not charge any taxes, and we have always advocated thrift and thrift. ā
Tian Tian nodded, and sure enough, his skin was thick enough.
Try the refreshments, it's really not as delicious as the refreshments made by the four girls, so I simply put it aside and don't touch it again.
"Your Excellency the Pope is coming to me again today, is there anything wrong?"
The Pope smiled again, this time the smile seemed to be a lot more playful, "Grand Duke, why pretend to be confused, you just sent news and intelligence yesterday, and today the Longyuan Empire launched an attack as if it had made an appointment with you, the significance of this kind of thing in the war, there is no need to explain more." ā
"Maybe it's a coincidence?" said Tian Xian lightly.
Coincidence Can this be a coincidence? The Pope secretly gritted his teeth, this stinky boy didn't even bother to cover up his lies.
"Anyway, I'm guessing, and I don't expect you to believe it, you see, the Holy Spirit Temple didn't set up according to my news in today's battle, so of course it's a coincidence, and there is no inside story, we all know very well. ā
The Pope is also laughing, the old and the young are laughing happily, but secretly they are gritting their teeth and cursing each other.
"That'...... Grand Duke, can you guess again about the movement of the Longyuan Empire tomorrow. The Pope asked with some eyes.
"Tomorrow?" Tian Xian touched his nose, "That's going to be difficult, this kind of thing is not a random guess, sometimes guessed, and sometimes ...... I can't guess. ā
The Pope narrowed his eyes and nodded.
Then he turned around and took a small box from the table next to him, "Today we have achieved a big victory, and you have contributed a lot, this is a little heart." ā
Tian Xian glanced at the small box, and the energy tentacles were entwined, and he immediately felt an inexplicable power fluctuation in it.
It seems to be an item containing some strange energy, judging by its size and energy fluctuations......
It's stigmata!
Tian Xian immediately rolled his eyes, he couldn't use the stigma, although this is not a public matter, but as long as the intelligence work is in place, isn't it clear that he, a figure on the mainland, has never shown the stigma on his body?
"It's a stigma. The Pope said with a smile.
Tian Xian: "Hmm...... Hmph!" the face was full of displeasure in front of the Pope's eyes.
The Pope's face did not change, and he still smiled kindly, "This stigmata was selected by me with my own hands, and it is likely to ...... Useful to you for the Grand Duke. ā
Tian Xian's heart moved, what does this mean?
The energy fluctuations from the energy tentacles are very strange, and it is impossible to tell what type of stigmata this is, but the Pope should be aware that he cannot use stigmata or never use stigmata.
Now I directly took out a stigma, and my face was full of confidence, I'm afraid there are some doorways in this.
After thinking about it, Tian Xian unceremoniously put the box directly into his arms, anyway, even if he can't use it, it's okay to give it to others, don't take it for nothing.
As for the news of the movements of the Longyuan Empire, it depends on what you say.
Seeing that Tianxian had taken the box, the Pope smiled even more happily, "The Grand Duke can go back and study this stigma carefully, and he will definitely find something." ā
Tianxian always felt that the Pope was smiling and embarrassed.
However, the things have already been taken, and Tian Xian has no intention of returning them, so he said directly: "I will study it carefully, by the way...... Guess the future movements of the Longyuan Empire. ā
The Pope's eyes lit up, "Then there is Grand Duke Lao." ā
"But there's one thing I need to ask first. ā
"Archduke, excuse me. ā
Tian Xian looked at the small palace, "What is the matter with this place? I can be sure that this is not the border of the desert, but the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Temple, I was on the front line a moment ago, and now I am sitting drinking tea from thousands of mountains and rivers, I have never heard of such a thing. ā
The Pope smiled, looked quite proud, touched his beard and said: "This is just a small means, and it is also the inheritance of the ancient gods inherited by the Holy Spirit Temple, it is nothing, hehehe, it is not a ......"
Tian Xian raised the corner of his eyes, thinking that if it is nothing, you should explain it to me clearly, what is the matter with your smug boasting on that face?
"I want one. Tian Xian said directly.
After laughing, the Pope was drinking tea, and when he heard this "poof", he squirted out.
"You...... You, what do you say?"
Tian Xian pointed around, "Our Fire Leaf City is always in flames, if there is such a place, it will be much more convenient to transmit news or take refuge, since this is nothing, you can send us a few such places." ā
The Pope's face stiffened suddenly, "This...... Uh......"
"Why, is this insignificant thing still embarrassing you?"
The Pope quickly scratched his beard, "Grand Duke, it's like this, this place, there is only one such one, it is the palace inherited from the Holy Spirit Temple from ancient times that it was thought to be a god, one door is in the Holy Spirit Temple, the other door can be moved at will, and the other door can be opened when the conditions allow, connecting the two spaces, although this is not something worth being stingy, but ...... There is only one such one. ā
"And it's the only one that's very monumental. ā
Tianxian was secretly funny, but his face was full of disappointment, "Since that's the case, let's change something else." ā
Swap points...... Something else?, the Pope blinked, his old round eyes.
I thought to myself, stinky boy, you can't use us as a vault? You have already accepted the things just now!
Tian looked at the Pope with idle eyes, "Tomorrow's movement of the Holy Spirit Temple......"
The Pope was a little angry, and this sentence was immediately extinguished, and he quickly showed a soft smile, "Don't be disappointed, the Holy Spirit Temple has a history of nearly two thousand years, and there are still a lot of rare treasures, and it's not just those ...... in the treasure house."
As he spoke, the Pope secretly sighed in his heart, what kind of thing is this? A Pope in his own dignity, the leader of the Holy Spirit Temple, is flattering a young man who is not yet twenty years old, and he still looks like he loves to ignore him.
It is estimated that none of the previous popes have been so angry......
"Forget it, there are a lot of things in the Holy Spirit Temple, and we also have a lot in Fire Leaf City, so we don't have to waste time looking for any treasures this time. Tianxian suddenly waved his hand impatiently.
The Pope was stunned for a moment, wondering why this kid had suddenly become kind.
"Make a note of it this time, and I'll get it later when I have time. ā
The Pope's face stiffened again.
Tian Xian didn't care how aggrieved this old fritter was, and asked: "What I'm more worried about now is the few things I saw in the treasure house last time, because of the lack of time and space, I didn't bring them out, since Your Excellency the Pope has promised to let me enter the treasure house again, I think ...... It's now. ā
"Now?"
Tian Xian nodded, "This is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Temple, right, that is to say, the treasure vault is not far away, I originally thought that this matter would have to wait until after the Longyuan Empire retreated, but since there is this convenience of shuttling at will, it is better to get it now, the treasure house is amazing, after a long time, I am afraid that I will forget where those treasures are." ā
The Pope's heart suddenly became vigilant.
The treasure vault of the Holy Spirit Temple is protected by a folding space, which can be said to be foolproof, but everything has accidents, will it ......
Quickly recalling the last time Tianxian entered the treasure house, the Pope quickly dispelled his doubts again, although the last time Tianxian took away a large number of treasures.
But it looks like most of them are weapons and armor and the like.,There's no really valuable treasure.,Later, when I checked the treasure vault, I also verified this.,The first one is just a treasure trove that confuses the enemy, and a large number of items have been taken away in the treasure vault.,Careful observation found that the gem-like things that the other party took out also corresponded to the vacancy of the first treasure house.,
Apparently the other side did not break through the folding space.
"What, what's the problem?" said Tianxian's voice impatiently.
"Of course not!" the Pope quickly smiled, "It's just that every time this other door is opened, it will take a while before it can be opened again, if you leave Fire Leaf City like this, ...... the Grand Duke"
Tian Xian's eyes rolled, this place has been here several times in the past few days, and it seems that even if there is a time interval, it is very short.
And even if there is any accident, just let Ash fly over and pick him up.
At Xiao Ash's current speed, going back and forth between Fire Leaf City and the Holy Spirit Temple is just one night, and it is just two more cups of tea.
"It doesn't matter. Tian Xian smiled, "With the army of the Holy Spirit Hall garrisoned, Fire Leaf City will definitely be fine." ā
Seeing that Tian Xian didn't even ask about the interval between the opening of the door, the Pope couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that this kid won't stop if he doesn't get additional benefits this time.
"Since you said so, then please come with me, and I will immediately arrange for the spirit kite to go to Fire Leaf City to report the news, and say that you are here......"
"No need. Tian Xian directly refused, "I will come out soon, that is, to drink a few cups of tea in the camp of the Holy Spirit Temple, since you have carefully calculated that this place can last for a long time, I think I may be able to go back before the door closes." ā
The Pope's face didn't blush when he heard this, he just smiled, "Okay...... Then, the Grand Duke, please come with me. ā
Tian Xian left this small palace with the Pope, pushed open the door of the temple, outside was the neat and solemn scenery of the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Temple, the air was mixed with the fresh smell of grass and trees, Tian Xian and the Pope walked on the road, and also looked at a statue that was being restored not far away.
It was accidentally broken by Tu Ge the last time he came.
There is no doubt that this is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Temple.
Looking back at the small palace, Tianxian found that it was in the huge complex, shrunk in a corner and inconspicuous, and passed by here several times when he was "sightseeing" with a team of 100 people before, but he didn't notice the small palace.
In this temple of the Holy Spirit, there are indeed countless wonderful things hidden.
This time it was the same as last time, Tian Xian entered the treasure house alone, and the Pope stopped outside, and the meaning was obvious: just take it!
Tian Xian was already snickering in his heart!
The last time it was purely a conspiracy!
This conspiracy was hatched by the four girls.
Although the four girls didn't come to the Holy Spirit Temple headquarters in person last time, Gollum brought the four girls' thoughts after they returned.
The treasure house of the Holy Spirit Temple looks disorganized, with countless treasures piled up, but it is obviously impossible that there are no accounts, let alone no one to manage them.
A hundred people came in and took a large number of treasures out, and when they turned back, they would inevitably be exposed.
So the four girls came up with a solution.
If you take anything in the real treasure house, you can choose something similar in the outermost treasure house, such as the traitor's gold-patterned jade inside, then you can pick some gems of similar color on the outside, and you will take a tomahawk that is still cold and shining after I don't know how many years of tempering, then choose some axe wrenches or something outside.
Then, stuff all the stuff out there back into the real treasure trove......
When choosing a baby, it is very time-consuming, but if you just move things, it is extremely fast under the triangular space guide.
In fact, there is nothing missing in the real treasure trove, gems are still gems, axes are suitable for axes, and books are still scrolls.
It's just that it was dropped.
The four girls determined that it was impossible to retrieve such a huge scale of treasures one by one, and the number and location were the key factors in determining the treasures.
Obviously, the four girls guessed correctly.
Judging from the Pope's performance, Tian Xian is sure that the Pope does not know what is happening in the treasure house of the Holy Spirit Temple.
This time, do you really want to take something back?
Standing in a real treasure trove, pondering it.
