Chapter 518 Strategic Cooperation
"The presence of the two masters is truly magnificent!" The Pope did not sit on the Pope's throne to look down, but warmly greeted him.
Yang Bing and Deli Leka didn't make the Pope wait too long. Since they had made up their minds to wait and see what happened, they naturally had to watch.
"His Majesty the Pope is so polite, how dare the two of us bother His Majesty the Pope to greet him in person!" Deli Laika greeted him with a smile on his face, with a trace of respect in his tone.
In fact, this is not shameful. In this world where strength is the most important thing, His Majesty the Pope is stronger than the two of them, and he is also the head of the Holy See, so it is not necessary to flatter him a little. Besides, the Pope's status is at the same level as Zhao Tianlong's, and even in terms of appeal, he is even higher than Zhao Tianlong. It is proper etiquette to be more polite to the king of a country.
Yang Bing looked at Deli Leka, curled his lips cryptically, he was quite disdainful of Deli Leka's performance. However, Yang Bing was not a fool. He bowed his hands to His Majesty the Pope and smiled politely, which was regarded as a greeting.
His Majesty the Pope had clearly anticipated Yang Bing's indifference, and did not show any dissatisfaction. He clasped his hands together and nodded slightly in return.
In fact, there is a reason why Yang Bing is like this. First of all, Yang Bing does not need to act according to the face of the Pope, because the God Bless Alliance is the only country that does not have a magician's guild. As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Without the Magician Guild here, they would not be controlled by others, and naturally they would not have too many worries.
Secondly, the magicians of the five departments have a natural sense of superiority over the magicians of the light department, because the magicians of the light department are not good at fighting. Among the magicians of the same level, the attack power of the light department magicians is relatively the weakest. Although the attack power of water magicians of the same level is not high, they are still much stronger than light magicians.
Another main reason is because of different beliefs. Magicians of the five departments respect the god of law, while magicians of the light department respect the god of light. It is not easy for people of different beliefs to coexist peacefully together, and it cannot be extravagant. too much.
After the two sides had a period of unnutritious greetings, the host and guest were seated separately. After the three of them sat down, the atmosphere seemed to become solemn, and for a while, no one spoke first.
Deli Laika and Yang Bing have nothing to say to the Pope for the time being, and they are holding the mentality of staying still, so they are not in a hurry.
The Pope took the initiative to invite the two people over, and the situation was already half a point weaker. He originally wanted to let Delileka and Yang Bing speak first through silence. After all, they had just teased David, and they had contact with suspected undead recently.
Whether they are guilty or curious,
After all, it should be the first to make a sound. Who would have thought that the two of them would remain motionless like the Wannian old pine, and even simply closed their eyes to rest their minds. What made him even more speechless was that Yang Bing lowered his head slightly, shaking his head up and down slightly, as if he had fallen asleep sitting on the chair.
"Cough...cough..." The pope cleared his throat with embarrassment.
Deli Laika hurriedly opened his eyes and smiled at the Pope. When he saw that Yang Bing seemed to be asleep, he frowned in dissatisfaction, and gently pushed Yang Bing with his hand.
"Hmm... um? What's the matter?" Yang Bing slowly opened his eyes, looked at Deli Laika sleepily, stretched his waist vigorously, and asked with some doubts.
"Pay attention to the influence!" Delileka glared at Yang Bing, and said dissatisfied.
"Ah? Oh! I'm sorry! There are too many things recently, and I am exhausted physically and mentally. I fell asleep without paying attention. I laughed, I laughed!" Yang Bing yawned and said apologetically.
The Pope's face twitched, and he forced a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Master Yang Bing is a man of temperament, and he doesn't pretend or hide it. I still admire it very much."
"Your Majesty the Pope is so polite. I don't know why you suddenly called us here today? Are you going to give us gifts or treat us to dinner?" Yang Bing stretched her waist and asked lazily.
"Master Yang Bing really knows how to joke. If you want to talk about eating, as long as you like it, you are welcome at any time. But this is a gift! You have gained a lot today, and it is an eighth-level magic scroll and a soul-avoiding orb. Mr. Ren You should learn to stop when enough is enough, otherwise you will easily get yourself into trouble." The pope smiled slightly, as if he was chatting.
Yang Bing and Deli Laika suddenly felt a pressure rushing towards their faces. This pressure was not the spiritual coercion released by the saint-level powerhouse, but a kind of oppression similar to that acting on the soul, which made people unable to lift up a little The desire to resist. If the two of them were not saint-level powerhouses, I'm afraid they would make a fool of themselves.
The Pope did not continue to release this pressure, but let it go, and then his face remained normal, as if nothing had happened. But both Yang Bing and Deli Leka's expressions became a little dignified, the Pope's strength was even more unpredictable than they imagined.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. They are very clear that although the Pope is only a magician of the light system, neither of them will have the slightest chance of winning against the Pope alone. Even if two people make a move at the same time, I am afraid that the chance of winning is at most 40 to 60, not even half.
"It seems that the two masters don't want to continue joking, so let's talk about the business! Before we talk about the business, I want to say something. I have heard about what happened to you today, even though this soul-avoiding orb is It is a thing of our sacred Holy See, but it has been given to others, how to deal with it is your private matter, I am not in a position to ask, but if you don't settle the matter, I am afraid that you will have a lot of trouble if you want to leave." The Pope said very calmly .
The pope clearly stated his position, but in fact, this is a slap in the face from the pope. He clearly told the two that he would not get involved in their affairs, which was already a great help to Yang Bing and Delileka. At the same time, they are still reminded that this matter will never be finished, and let them think of a way in advance.
Although Deli Laika won the soul-avoiding orb, after all, he used some not very honorable means. Saint-level powerhouses are all good-faced. If His Majesty the Pope insists on talking about this matter, their faces will definitely be shameless.
Of course, there is no problem with using the trick on the pope. If it is rewarded for it, it means that the pope is inferior to others, but if the trick is used on the weak, it will make people feel like a bully. After all, the common problem of human beings is that they tend to sympathize with the weak and have a natural dislike for bullies.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about other things, it's time for us to get down to business." The Pope slowly stood up from his chair, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
Seeing the pope standing up, how could Delileka and Yang Bing continue to sit, and they all stood up together.
"Business? I don't know what His Majesty's so-called business refers to? Could it be that he ordered us to leave early?" Deli Leka asked with a frown. He still didn't understand. They slammed their horses one by one, and then took the initiative to show their favor. What kind of operation is this?
"Why should I issue an order to expel you? You can stay here as long as you want, but you still need to pass on some news to your majesty the king."
"What news?" Deli Leka looked at the Pope suspiciously.
"News of the alliance."
"Alliance?" Deli Laika and Yang Bing both opened their eyes and shouted in unison.
They thought about many things before, such as signing some peace treaties, increasing extradition agreements, increasing trade methods or types, etc., but they never thought about forming an alliance.
You know, alliance and cooperation are not the same concept. Cooperation can be mutual exchange, cultural exchange, etc., and it is more reflected in culture and economy.
But if we talk about alliances, it has risen to the strategic level. In an era of underdeveloped information, when two countries that do not completely border each other, when there is no common enemy and goal, it is not a task to achieve a true alliance. easy thing.
"That's right, form an alliance!" The Pope looked at Deli Leka firmly.
"I can't make the decision to form an alliance." Deli Leka shook his head.
Although he is a national teacher, and this action has been given great power, but matters related to state affairs are not something he can easily make decisions. Zhao Tianlong is not an easy-going emperor, but an emperor whose rights and national interests are paramount. Such a person is not cute, but he is a qualified monarch.
"I know you can't make the decision, so I just want to tell you this time, you have a good talk with your king. I can tell you very responsibly, based on a series of recent events, I speculate that the necromancers will It has revived." The Pope looked at Deli Leka with a solemn face.
Neither Delileka nor Yang Bing refuted it. Judging from recent events, although they dare not say that necromancers are resurgent, it is well known that necromancers appear frequently.
"As far as I know, a necromancer has already appeared in your Carlo Empire, and many of you saint-level powerhouses even let him run away. To deal with the necromancer, we obviously have an advantage over you. If you don't If there is an accident, after the necromancer is born, he will first choose your Carlo Empire to take action, because they have no natural enemies in your place." A smug smile appeared on the corner of the pope's mouth.
"Hmph! Don't think that only people from the Holy See can deal with necromancers. Our five-line magicians are not idle!" Yang Bing snorted coldly, his eyes full of hostility.
The pope ignored Yang Bing, but stared at Deli Leka with burning eyes. Although Yang Bing is the elder of the Magician Guild and has a lot of power, when it comes to the influence on the Carlo Empire, he is naturally inferior to Delileca, the national teacher.
