.    Chapter 7 Religious Fanaticism

    After a few hours of flight, we arrived at the last stop of this trip, the religious center of the entire continent, Romania under the rule of the Pope.

    As the religious leader of all mankind, the pope¡¯s rights are quite amazing. He has the power to appoint and remove bishops in various regions and has unlimited territorial rights (in theory, the entire continent is considered the pope¡¯s territory).  Unlimited jurisdiction (theoretically, all those considered heretics could be racked and burned).  A tithe could also be levied.  Over hundreds of thousands of years, the amount of money accumulated by the Pope is incalculable. It is estimated that it is at least as much as the sum of all the reserves of the four major royal families in the mainland multiplied by two.  So much so that there are rumors that the Romanian Papal Palace is so splendid that even the toilet is made of gold and diamonds.

    Speaking of which, after the hardships of the seven or eight years of isolation, the entire Prussian finances were fully invested in construction. Even so, it was still tight.  When I first heard that the pope was so rich, Nong almost wanted to lead his troops and rob him.  But think about it and forget it.  Ninety-nine percent of the tens of millions of people in the entire civilized world believe in the ancestors.  And the earthly walker whom the Pope calls the ancestor is so arrogant that he can almost command the entire continent.  If Gu kills him, Bao Qi will be wanted all over the world.  It's a little uneconomical.

    So, at the moment when I met the Pope of Romania, looking at this young man with a warm smile, I felt something was wrong no matter what I thought.  But he was still hesitating whether he could be kidnapped right here and exchanged for millions of gold coins.

    "You've had a hard journey, Marquis Baldwin." said the young pope in rich attire.  Then he extended his hand in a friendly gesture.

    Nani?  Could it be that he wanted to isolate the back of his hand?  Could it be that he is gay?  I'll tell you. Indeed, as far as I know, there are many Catholic priests who engage in child molestation.  But what you hear is what you hear, and what you see with your own eyes is what you see with your own eyes.  Different is different.

    Should I draw my sword and kill him at this time?  Gu thought like this, his eyes became filled with murderous intent.

    "Oh, I'm sorry. I almost forgot that Marquis Baldwin is from the North. Then such etiquette is waived." The Pope said.

    ¡°But Your Majesty¡ªthis is inconsistent with tradition,¡± said the priest next to the Pope.

    "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal." The Pope laughed and said.

    So, Gu¡¯s first impression of this guy was barely okay.

    Next, after reading out a lot of gifts brought by the orphan, as well as the allegiance, obligations, tithes, etc. to the Pope of Romania, the Pope read out the words of the wolf in the middle.  Interrupted.

    "These are just trivial things. Even if Marquis Baldwin doesn't bring anything, as long as he can come, I will be happy."

    It is true that such remarks are very touching, but why does Gu have goosebumps all over his body?

    Immediately afterwards, the Pope took Gu¡¯s hand and walked into the living room.  Then let everyone go out and close the door.

    So there were only two of us left in the whole room.

    ??????????????????????????????????? It would be better not to do such dangerous things in the future.

    Speaking of which, when I was outside, I saw a very sexy boy with short blond hair, an indistinguishable male-female look, and for some reason he also had a pair of strange-colored eyes like a Bosnian cat.  .  Speaking of which, the way that guy looked at the Pope was very different.  Could that be his gay friend?  Could it be that he is jealous?  I might as well draw my sword and chop him down.  Although you haven't done anything yet, it would be a bit unfair to cut you down like this - but it will be too late when you really do something.  So go to hell, Your Majesty.

    It¡¯s just that this Pope is not in vain.  As if he really felt Gu's murderous intention, he asked first: "Marquis, what is your belief in the ancestor?"

    Damn it, what is this?  Threat?  But I have to admit that his sudden question dispelled Gu's murderous intention.

    "Sooner or later, I will kill you." Gu thought in his heart, but what he said was pleasant: "The ancestor is supreme and great, no matter what his identity or status, he should maintain the highest faith in the ancestor. And as the ancestor  His spokesperson, His Majesty the Pope, naturally deserves the utmost courtesy and respect."

    His Majesty the Pope laughed when he heard what Gu said: "It's rare that there are very few honest people like you, Marquis, in this world."

    ¡­I¡¯ll take it, now I can be sure that this bastard is mocking me.

    "Your Majesty, you have given me the award." Gu Cheng responded with fear.

    ?"No, Marquis, you deserve this honor." The pope's smile was amiable.  Although this elder-like smile appeared on the face of a man who looked less than thirty years old, it felt weird no matter how he looked at it.

    Next, the Pope, for some unknown reason, praised Gu Haosheng again.  Praising Gu as if he were a peony flower.  However, the more he praised him, the more uncomfortable he felt.  You must ask for something from others when you are polite, I still understand this truth.  The Pope occupies a high position and looks down on all living beings, but he treats the Marquis who lives in a bitter cold land with such courtesy.  Gu Ke didn't know what he was begging for.

    However, in short, it will be difficult, but that¡¯s for sure.

    When His Majesty the Pope came up with an allusion again, comparing Gu to a certain steadfast and unyielding apostolic knight, Gu repeatedly humbled himself, but in the end he was no longer able to withstand the Pope's kindness, and after accepting it with shame - His Majesty finally mentioned  Down to business.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, Marquis, what do you think of the current political situation on the mainland?¡± the Pope asked.

    What do you think?  Joseph of Golia was ambitious, but Albion and Tristin were idiots.  We in Germania are still having a civil war that lasts for three days - and you, Romania, it seems that you no longer want to live in peace, hearing what His Holiness the Pope means.

    Oh, what can there be?

    "The seas, rivers and rivers everywhere are clear, and the politics are clear. Under the spiritual guidance of His Majesty the Pope, and under the hard management of the royal families and nobles everywhere. The entire continent is stable, harmonious and developing steadily¡ª¡ª"

    Gu was interrupted midway through his empty talk.  His Majesty the Pope didn't know why, but he really showed his sincerity to Gu Gu. He waved his hand and said: "How can the Marquis bully me? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Now there are only two of us here. I treat each other with sincerity and hope that the Marquis  Do this to me."

    By the way, can you please stop holding Gu¡¯s hand when you are talking?  So disgusting.

    He quietly retracted his hand, but smiled bitterly and said nothing.

    "I didn't expect that Marquis Baldwin, who is known as the Fenrir Winter Wolf, would be so cowardly. It's better to be famous than to meet him." His Majesty the Pope looked weak, so he resorted to aggressive tactics.

    No one would fall for such a simple scheme.

    "The dark room deceives the heart, and there is a god three feet above the head" Gu replied.

    "Since the Marquis doesn't want to say it, let me explain it." His Majesty the Pope suddenly stood up and said generously: "It has been thousands of years since the ancestor was born and the countries were enfeoffed. The golden age has already passed.  It¡¯s over. Human beings are unwilling to make progress, and the Holy Land is indifferent. The nobles are in a state of intoxication, the common people are in dire straits, and the countries are constantly conquering. With this situation, as the Pope of Romania, I am extremely anxious. I ask myself every day. I am ashamed of the ancestors of the gods and the common people.  People. It¡¯s really¡­sigh.¡±

    ¡°His Majesty the Pope is so pretentious, but I cannot remain indifferent.  So Gu Ye suddenly stood up: "His Majesty the Pope is so compassionate and compassionate, it is really admirable. What orders do you have from now on, despite the swords and seas of fire, I will not even frown?"

    "Ah, the Marquis is so sentimental, it is really admirable. I really did not misjudge the person, hahahaha"

    Still, can you not hold your lonely hand, really disgusting.

    ¡°Then, let¡¯s let go of all the red tape and talk about this matter properly and seriously.¡±

    "What are you talking about?"

    "This continent, the future of this civilized world."

    ?? Gu nodded, and then looked at the Pope sitting back, and then he also sat down: "Please speak."

    "I am very worried. As I said just now, it will not work if the world continues like this." His Majesty the Pope said.

    "So?" Gu asked.

    "Therefore, the entire human world must be united, so that all countries can be independent of each other, and let people love each other. Only in this way can mankind have a tomorrow."

    "My Majesty the Pope has lofty ambitions, I admire you." Guxin snorted coldly: That sounds nice.

    "So, can the Marquis help me?" the Pope asked.

    "I am indeed willing to contribute my own efforts to His Majesty the Pope's ambition. But, how should we do it?" Gu asked.

    "Of course, this is a very important matter and cannot be rushed." The Pope smiled and said: "First of all, it is difficult to unite the human world."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? themselves, they will have thoughts, and they will have thoughts, they will have differences, and when there are differences, there will be fights It is indeed very difficult.¡±

    "The Marquis is right, I have also been troubled by this matter."

    "Once? In other words, the Pope's crown?Have you figured out a solution to this now?  " Gu asked.

    "Indeed - that is to find a goal that is grand enough and sacred enough for people to strive for. Based on this goal, unite mankind and work hard to achieve it." The Pope's voice became generous and high-spirited.

    "So it's difficult, could it be -" Gu almost knew what he was thinking.  To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal.  Back then, Gu had grown up in a Crusader country. This guy had already talked about this. If Gu couldn't guess anymore, he could find a tree and hang himself.

    "That's right, it's to regain the Holy Land." The Pope said these words with solemn dignity
