The Pope said nothing and continued to meditate with his eyes closed, and the room continued to be quiet.
But the current quietness did not make Bob feel a trace of peace. Instead, he felt a heavy depression, pressing hard on his heart.
First clerk Yada also felt this depression and glanced at Bob uneasily. The two people's eyes met in the air. For just a moment, they quickly looked away.
"Cough cough cough"
A sudden burst of violent coughing broke the silence in the room.
It¡¯s the Pope.
He bowed down in pain, his face flushed from holding it in, and his right hand was clutching the clothes on his chest. Time had severely damaged the pope's right hand. The skin was rough and loose, and only five tendons were clearly visible. Bob was just a man. With the help of his eyes, he actually saw an age spot on the Pope's right hand, which was dark in color.
The most devout servant of the true God, the pope who shoulders the most important task of spreading the glory of the true God, is he also old! ?
As soon as this idea appeared in Bob's mind, Bob was startled. He quickly recited the Confessions silently in his mind and quickly cleared his mind of this disrespectful thought towards the Pope and even towards the true God.
First Secretary Ada seems to have become accustomed to the pope¡¯s sudden cough.
He walked over with a concerned look on his face, patted the Pope's back gently, and then motioned to Bob to pour a glass of water for the Pope.
Bob hurriedly went to get the water glass, and then ran to the corner of the room to pour water in a few steps.
This is just an ordinary wooden water cup. The material is taken from ordinary pine trees around the sacred mountains of the Caucasus. The workmanship is unknown to some poor priest. Bob even saw that there is an edge at the bottom of the cup that has not been shaved off. .
?? If such a water cup had not been held in the hands of the third scribe, had he not poured water for the Pope to drink, I am afraid no one would have believed that this kind of water cup that ordinary farmers were unwilling to use was actually owned by the Pope.
But the color of this water cup is very deep, and it has obviously been used for a long time. The outer wall of the water cup, where the fingers are often touched, has become pitch black, and the original wooden texture of the pine tree is completely invisible.
The clear water flows down quietly and pours into the water cup. The water cup itself is not big, and the thick wall made by poor craftsmanship means that the water cup cannot hold much water at all.
The water glass was filled with water very quickly, maybe three seconds, maybe five seconds.
However, in just three or five seconds, Bob had completely calmed down.
By the time he turned around, Bob¡¯s face could no longer see any fluctuations. When he walked quickly towards the Pope, not a drop of water was spilled from the wooden water cup.
"Hello"
After drinking the water, the Pope took a long breath, glanced at Ada and Bob with a hint of gratitude, and waved his hand to indicate that he had no problem.
Ada and Bob, who resumed their roles as the first and third clerks, quietly retreated, keeping their heads lowered and listening.
"It seemed that the cough just now consumed the Pope's too much energy. He continued to close his eyes and rest, and the room was still quiet.
However, with the little episode just now, the atmosphere in the room became less depressing.
After a long time, Pope XIII spoke.
"The Feng family is more powerful than I thought"
The same words, spoken from the Pope¡¯s mouth, were more shocking than those spoken from Bob¡¯s mouth.
Because St. Anthony is not only Pope XIII, he is also a ninth-level magic powerhouse!
Even though he is dying, he is still a strong man!
"With a flick of the sword, a talisman rushing into the formation, and three arrows to seize the city If this is all, the Feng family has nothing to fear. Even if Roland can shoot away the forbidden curse with ten feather arrows, it will be the same"
The Pope's eyes turned from Ada to Bob, and then from Bob to Ada. Finally, he moved his eyes away from his two scribes and looked out the window at the endless night sky. .
The starry sky is vast, and the Pope's words also have a hint of etherealness. He seems to be explaining to the two scribes, and at the same time he seems to be sighing himself.
¡°It¡¯s been so many years since I¡¯ve seen such a young man¡±
"No matter how outstanding an individual's fighting power is, in addition to his family's education and his own fortune, it is more determined by talent. Roland's dual talents of fire fighting spirit and all magic talents are indeed amazing, but when compared to the entire God-given continent, Within the scope, that¡¯s all¡¡±
"The true God has always"Begrying his glory, although there are not many talented geniuses like Roland, there are still quite a few in the Temple Continent"
Having said this, the Pope turned his attention back to First Secretary Ada.
"If I remember correctly, Ada, you seem to have all the magic talents"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am envious of your knowledge and memory. I am a high-level magic talent."
When asked by the Pope, Ada answered respectfully.
This answer surprised Bob. He had never seen Ada use magic. Even if the magic was the release of light magic, it was only a few times. Bob really didn't expect that. Yada turned out to be an advanced all-round magic talent.
"Yes, the advanced magic talents of all series are one level higher than Roland's intermediate magic talents Yada, what were you doing when you were sixteen years old?"
¡°Study the divine arts and doctrines in the seminary, and prepare to spread the glory of the true God!¡±
"Study! You are also sixteen years old, you are studying, and what is Roland doing? He formed a knighthood of 500 people, and used this knighthood named after his family's crest, in the first battle, Resisted an invasion by the Louis Empire against the Charles Empire and wiped out tens of thousands of enemies"
"It is said that his knights were unscathed!"
The Pope¡¯s last sentence made both Ada and Bob stunned. Such a result was not found in the document just now.
Although the intelligence department of the True God Cult has done a very detailed job, the documents not only contain detailed descriptions of each battle of the Knights of Thorns, but also the evaluation of each battle and each team, and even the evaluation of Feng Feng. The personal assessment of the clan has reached the team captain level, but there is still no information on the casualties of Thorn Flower.
No one, whether it was First Clerk Ada or Third Clerk Bob, could have imagined that the Knights of Thorns, with only more than 500 people, would not only annihilate all the enemies when facing Louis' 13,000 invaders, but , and he was still unscathed!
What a huge gap in strength is this to create such a result that is similar to a unilateral massacre!
The two young men were filled with shock as they listened to the Pope continue:
"The most terrifying thing about the Feng family, and even Roland, is not his superb personal combat power, nor is it the fact that he can even leapfrog and fight against the strong, but that he has the ability to turn decay into magic"
"Your Majesty"
Yada was shocked when he heard "turn decay into magic", because these six words appeared in the first chapter of "True Nerve", and they were used to describe the greatness of the true God!
Now Pope XIII actually uses these six words to describe Roland. This is completely inappropriate in the teachings of the True God Religion, and even has the meaning of blaspheming the True God!
Anthony, who is named after the word "Saint", will definitely leave his name in the history of the True God Church whether he is alive or dead, and the suffix of his name must be the word "Saint" for Pope XIII. He waved his hands lightly, not realizing at all that his words were disrespectful to the true God, but continued indifferently:
"The simple magic circle actually allowed him to develop a new magic system. Although this new system has not been widely spread in the mainland, those old magicians who only saw the tip of the iceberg did not know that it was broken. How many spectacle lenses"
"Five hundred ordinary cavalry, young members of the Feng family, the Kurhuts who lost their dogs, and two hundred barbarians on the prairie, such a chaotic combination, was actually used by Roland in just two months. To create a knighthood that can stand side by side with the Temple Knights"
"Isn't this turning decay into magic?"
The Pope took a deep look at Ada.
"Don't just focus on Roland's imitation of the God-given armor, but also look at the combat effectiveness of the other two teams of the Knights of Thorns, especially those grassland barbarians. From the evaluation report, you can all see that they are Changing the previous battle mode, relying entirely on long-distance bows and arrows to strike, I easily ate up an entire phalanx!"
"There is no model for using this kind of cavalry in the God-given continent, right? But he just appeared. This is definitely Roland's pioneering work!"
The Pope¡¯s words caused Ada and Bob to fall into silence at the same time.
As the Pope¡¯s secretary, although they deal more with the teaching affairs of the True God Religion, being in the Holy Mountain Caucasus naturally determines their broadened horizons!
How much impact can this way of using knights bring to the God-given Continent?Da and Bob even have more say than the emperor of the human empire!
"Moreover, have you ever thought about what kind of power the three different teams of the Thorn Flower Knights, Mammoth, War Tiger, and Wild Wolf, can produce when they fight together!?"
The Pope¡¯s words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Ada and Bob hard in the heart.
The Knights of the Thorn Flower only participated in one battle. In this battle, the three teams of the Thorn Flower all fought independently. What would happen if all five hundred of them were gathered together! ?
Yada suddenly felt chills all over his body!
"Okay, you all go out"
Unexpectedly, Pope XIII Saint Anthony, after thoroughly analyzing Roland and his Knights of Thorns, did not come to any conclusion and directly asked the two scribes to withdraw.
Wait until the room is quiet again.
Pope XIII quietly stared at the papal scepter and star robes behind him.
The papal scepter is made entirely of gold, with a variety of magical metals added to it. Especially the crown at the top of the scepter is inlaid with a fist-sized dragon crystal, which allows this scepter to increase its magical power tenfold!
The Pope's star robe is made of the fur of a top-level monster. The dark purple star robe is carefully embroidered with the stars in the sky and everything on the earth with thin gold threads.
These two things are the most important proof of the Pope¡¯s identity!
Suddenly, St. Anthony laughed heartily at the papal scepter and star robe!
Until the Pope laughed to tears, the laughter still echoed throughout the room, covering up his soft words to himself.
"I really want to seewhat it looks like wearing a star robe"
"I really don't know if I can live another nine years"
