Chapter 360: The Ethereal Pope of Light
Chapter 360: The Ethereal Pope of Light
At first, Xingluo was of course extremely dissatisfied with this matter, but he couldn't refute it at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it. He was unwilling to accept it. Although he had gained a lot in this battle and the Sky City Mercenary Group also played a role in training troops, he did not intend to let the Holy See of Light go. While the army of the Holy See of Light had not left yet, he came to the Pope alone. Xingluo saw the white-haired old man again and found that the white halo emanating from him was even more intense. He held a gorgeous scepter inlaid with a huge light magic core. His eyes were more ethereal, as if he no longer belonged to human beings. Xingluo was instinctively a little afraid. He rarely had this feeling anymore. Even when facing a life-and-death crisis, he would not have this emotion. But in front of the peak of humanity, he still had this idea, but this was not a fear of power, but a pair of eyes that were like gods overlooking the world. Light elements that were more terrifying than the descending angels filled the Pope's body, and it seemed that they would break out of his body at any time, transforming into a lightsaber of punishment and destroying all darkness.
Xingluo did not say anything, but looked at the old man. The Pope did not speak either. His eyes seemed to penetrate everything and rushed towards the sky. After a long time, the Pope slowly withdrew his gaze, and Xingluo's inexplicable fear disappeared. Although the Pope's eyes were still empty, Xingluo knew that this was just a powerful old man, still within the scope of human beings.
"Is there something?" The Pope's old voice sounded.
Xingluo took a deep breath and said, "Pope, I think what you did this time was a little unfair..."
Xing Luo went straight to the point. When communicating with a strong man of this level and status, it is most taboo to beat around the bush. This straightforward way of speaking would not cause dissatisfaction from a strong man of this level.
The Pope certainly knew what Xingluo meant. "Why? As a cardinal, shouldn't you share the worries of the Holy See of Light?"
Xingluo continued with an unchanged expression: "Of course, this is my duty, but after all, all my magic equipment and scrolls were damaged in this battle. It will be difficult for me to serve the Holy See in the future, and..."
Xingluo was about to continue complaining when the Pope interrupted her with a wave of his hand. He naturally understood what Xingluo meant, but he also liked to communicate with humans with desires. He heard that Xingluo was not only greedy for money, but also cowardly and lustful. Now it seems that although the rumors are not entirely true, he is indeed greedy for money. This kind of person is also the easiest to control. If we talk about the richest force in the entire main material plane, then the Church of Light must be among the top. Moreover, since the other party is really useful and he has established him as the glorious cardinal of the Church of Light, it is only right that he should give him some benefits.
The Pope of Light took a ring from his finger and threw it to Xingluo, "This is the reward you received for accepting the order from the Holy See of Light and leading the Sky City Mercenary Group to snipe the flank of the Abyss Demon. Keep it well and don't lose it."
Xingluo immediately understood what he meant, took the ring and turned to leave. The Pope of Light was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xingluo to be so realistic and didn't even say thank you.
It was not until Xingluo walked out of the base camp of the Church of Light that he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been very nervous just now. For a strong man like the Pope, perhaps he could really keep him by using some means. Although the two are now in the same boat, no one can say for sure. The means of the Church of Light are not bright. They have been present in many civil wars in the empire, but their purpose is surprisingly consistent every time, which is to increase the number of believers of light by any means necessary. As long as he does not do anything contrary to the Church of Light in this regard, I believe the Pope will not touch him, the Cardinal of Light, at will. Moreover, now he is not only the Cardinal of the Fallen God Empire, but also the great hero of the battle between light and darkness. If the other party wants to touch him, they have to be cautious. Xingluo is more or less prepared for a rainy day, but this is also the reason why he can escape danger again and again. He never reveals all his cards in front of living people. If he is exposed, he will do his best to kill the other party. This is his way of survival in this alien continent.
Now facing the behemoth of the Holy See of Light, he could not help but feel a little nervous, but now that he had received the reward from the Holy See of Light, it was not a loss. Before Xingluo came out, he had already taken a quick look at the astonishing wealth inside, which made even a guy like him who was used to seeing relics and treasures blush and his heart beat fast.
After Xingluo came out, he began to check the ring. However, with his alchemy attainments, he did not find anything wrong with the ring. However, he still had to be cautious with the things given by the Pope. He did not plan to wear this ring. He would rather not use things that he did not understand. After returning to the Sky City Mercenary Station, he took out the things in the ring one by one and began to check carefully. The magic equipment in these rings had a lot of light magic cores. This thing was rarely circulated on the market, even on the black market, and was often sold at a sky-high price. However, for the Church of Light, every time a miracle was triggered or the God of Light sent down an oracle, a large number of these light magic cores would be produced. Although they were different from the magic cores taken from the Warcraft, their functions were no different. Of course, they did not call these stones light magic cores within the Church of Light, but called them God Stones and Light Stones. Xingluo did not care. To put it bluntly, they were still light magic cores.
In addition to a large number of high-level light magic cores, Xingluo found a cardinal robe of the Grand Mage level, which happened to be broken in the battle with the demon leader. He didn't need a Grand Mage ring, as he had the Alfred ring, which had a larger storage space. The Grand Mage storage necklace was good, which could give him more magic power. Although his magic power was much more than that of the same level, which magician would dislike having too much magic power?
In addition to these magic equipment, there are a lot of light-attribute magic scrolls. These things have much stronger recovery capabilities than other attribute magic scrolls. With these scrolls, his ability to save his life has been greatly enhanced. These are all made by high-level bishops and priests themselves, and are rarely circulated on the market. Xingluo was so happy to see this pile of light magic scrolls that his mouth blossomed.
Xingluo continued to search through the pile of things. In addition to the magic core of light, magic scrolls and several cardinal equipment, there were also some alchemical materials and magic equipment with a strong smell of relics. These things were the products of the great magic era. Not to mention the black market, basically any one of them would be snatched up by the powerful. I didn't expect the Pope to be so generous this time. He took out these things as he said. In fact, the Pope felt very painful to take out these things, but he knew that if he wanted a greedy person like Xingluo to really work for the Holy See of Light, he had to take the benefits that should be given. As the saying goes, you can't keep a baby without losing it. Wolf, Xingluo has already attracted the attention of the Holy See of Light, so why not just win him over? Even though their relationship was average before, Xingluo has been made into a hero of the Holy See of Light after all, so why not just spend some money and let him know that there will be more and more of these things in the future if they follow the Holy See of Light. If the dragon clan is the surviving race of the Great Magic Age, then among humans, except for some hidden families, the Holy See of Light has a long history. These things may not necessarily be taken out from the ruins, they may have been things from the Great Magic Age and collected by the Holy See of Light.
