Chapter 274 Warm Jade
Osman stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the crowds passing through the church.
The Pope's room is at the highest point in St. Peter's Basilica, and he likes this feeling of overlooking all living beings.
He watched his valet Theo take Croun out of the church, get into a carriage and fly away in the dust.
The reason why Theo was so enthusiastic about helping the other party find usable jade was actually because of his instruction.
"A silver-level transcendent in his twenties, with the bloodline of the Son of God, is really enviable. Even I was not that good back then.
Sako, what do you think? "
A figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the room, and Sacco bowed slightly:
"I can't tell whether it's the blood of the Son of God, but there must be nothing wrong with the other party, otherwise you won't be able to enter the sanctuary at all.
Such an excellent talent is indeed worth cultivating. "
The place where the College of Cardinals holds meetings is one of the highest-standard sanctuaries in the church. The power of the defense and purification circle is second only to the sanctuaries passed down by the Pope.
From the side verification, it can be concluded that Crown's spirituality is pure and without any impurities, and he is a silver warrior with great potential.
Osman was not satisfied with his subordinate's answer and said in a deep voice:
"Of course Crown is not soul-tainted. I am more sure of this than you. What I want to ask is, can the other party be used by me?"
Cultivating a truly talented person is actually relatively simple. It only requires tilting resources and letting go of knowledge barriers. But if you cultivate a person who is against yourself, it is better not to do this.
Sako was silent for a moment and said softly:
"After my observation, he and Flanders get along very well. If he has a preconceived idea, he will naturally side with Flanders."
Shaco believed that he had a good eye for seeing people. According to the current situation, it would be difficult to change the concept of a Silver Warrior.
"In the past few days, I have checked the files submitted by Daniel again. Croun did not receive much favor from Flanders.
You also know that Flanders is quite fair in dealing with things. He has principles and bottom lines. He will not be selfish for anyone and believes in order.
So Crown and Flanders' relationship isn't as close as we thought.
If I hint that the other party intends to train him as his successor, will he be tempted? "
As the pope, Osman possesses a lot of forbidden knowledge. From Crown, he feels the heat similar to the blood of the Sun God, but not as domineering as the Son of the Sun.
He also felt the power of gentle purification. The bloodline of the Sun God could not have such ability. They would only bring the scorching heat that would burn all things.
He looked through the books that recorded gods and found that the bloodline of Crown was not similar to any known gods.
Therefore, it is judged that the other party may be a mutant bloodline, which has appeared in church records.
In the ten thousand years of history on the material plane, it has only appeared three times. Without exception, these people have stood at the pinnacle of the silver rank. There is also one person who is lucky enough to become a Stigma Gold and step into the ranks of gods. It is a pity that It was a pity that he fell in the last holy war.
Although he was still not completely sure of his judgment about Crown's bloodline, it did not affect his efforts to win over him.
The most respected person in the church is the Pope, and he does not believe that the other party does not have such ambitions.
‘Training into a successor? ’
Shaco suddenly raised his head when he heard the Pope's words. Although the Pope's advanced silver paid the price of having his life source damaged, there was still a long time before he reached the end of his life.
According to past experience, the lifespan of a pope whose life origin is damaged is generally between 240 and 260 years old.
The current Pope is only 182 years old, and according to the process, it is not yet time to choose a successor. Normally, the Pope will examine and train several more suitable successors when he is 220 years old.
In the end, these people will undergo a series of tests, and the one with the highest overall evaluation will receive the scepter and be crowned the Pope.
"Your Majesty, this temptation is big enough, but the other party knows the process of becoming a pope and may not be obviously biased towards you in a short time.
I think he can be transferred to St. Peter's Basilica to take up a position, so that he can slowly cut off the connection between him and Flanders and have a better chance of cultivating him into our person. "
Osman nodded lightly, then slowly shook his head, with a smile on his lips:
"I don't think Flanders will lie about the cultists. When the war in the Rhine City Parish is over, I will hold a meeting and let all the Silver Ranks control one parish.
If Crown becomes a cardinal archbishop, he will have a competitive relationship with other archbishops, and his relationship with Flanders will naturally become estranged.
At this time, if I reveal the news about training a successor, there is a high probability that it will happen. "
Osman's desire is to integrate a powerful church that is completely under his own leadership. He feels that only the power that is firmly in his own hands is real.
. . . .
On the speeding carriage, Crown thanked Theo:
"Thank you for your help this time, otherwise it would be difficult to find such usable jade."
For him, there are only three things to do when he comes to the Holy See.
The most important task is to obtain the fourth stage training method of Breath of Fire, and the second is to obtain more support for the Rhine City Parish in order to deal with the upcoming war.
The third thing is to obtain high-quality warm jade and create the Sun Thunder Seal.
He was unfamiliar with the place here, and it was difficult to find things quickly. The best way was to get help from local snakes.
Even if he didn't find the right warm jade, as long as he had a relationship with a reputable business that could supply this kind of item, he could wait slowly.
Now the most important thing has been done. If he gets the usable warm jade, it means that the matter is basically done, because getting more military support does not depend entirely on him.
Theo laughed and waved his hand:
"Don't thank me. When I was chatting with the Pope, I accidentally mentioned your needs, and the Pope immediately urged me to handle this matter seriously.
It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to you. I have never seen His Majesty treat a second person so favorably."
"I will remember your kindness in my heart, but I am also very grateful for your help in finding out the news."
Crown didn't care who gave the favor. No matter what the Pope's purpose was, as long as he could benefit from it, he would express his gratitude.
Theo was very happy with his attitude. Although it was just a small favor, the favor of a silver-level strongman was a great resource.
A little bit of something leaked from the big man's hands could benefit him, not to mention that the other party was a silver-level extraordinary with a promising future.
His tone was more enthusiastic: "Sir, let me tell you about Revigaz Sparrow. This man's experience is quite legendary.
At first, he was just a small captain in the Kingdom of the Lord of Storms, making a living on the sea. The ship he drove was called the 'Golden Pearl'."
Theo described vividly, and the two were very harmonious during their journey.
An hour later, Clown met the 'legendary' Revigaz, the major shareholder of the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
This is a slightly fat middle-aged man with small eyes and a kind and shrewd smile on his round face.
Not only is he a businessman, but also a third-level knight. Judging from his spiritual vision, he is still very powerful and is not far from being able to enter the silver level.
Clown judged that the strength of the other party's life source was as much as 60% of his third-level peak, which is a very high evaluation.
"Sir Theo, it's an honor to meet you. Your arrival has brought good luck to the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce."
Revigaz spoke in an exaggerated tone, with a sincere smile that did not make people feel disgusted.
Theo laughed and scolded, "Yes, I have to spend money every time I come here, and I will bring you a lot of golden spirit coins.
But this time, I am not the one who spends money. I will introduce you to a big man in the church.
If you have the goods he likes, you are really lucky.
This is His Excellency Crown Moya, silver rank."
Rivegaz has actually been paying attention to the people Theo brought here. From the other party's attitude, he is very respectful.
Who is Theo? He is the Pope's attendant of the Church of the Lord of Fire, and his status is more respected than some cardinals.
What kind of person can make Theo respect? At least he should be a very outstanding cardinal, and very powerful.
"Silver rank?!"
This is a transcendent at the same level as the popes of various churches. A gleam of light shot out of Revegaz's eyes. He has always heard that many churches have successively born silver rank strongmen, but he has never seen them.
Now there is a real silver rank strongman standing in front of him, and his heart is beating non-stop.
Regardless of whether he could make a deal with the other party, as long as he could get in touch with the other party, he would be successful.
If the relationship was good in the future, he might be able to "pay" for the guidance of the silver strongman.
"Sir, it is a great honor to meet you."
Rivigaz took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, crossed his fists in front of his chest and bowed deeply:
"Sir, may you travel unimpeded in the strong wind, and the thunderstorms will make way for you."
Theo explained: "Rivigaz is a devout believer of the Lord of Storms, and this etiquette expresses their highest respect."
Clown bowed slightly: "May the Lord of Fire illuminate the way forward for you and me."
"Sir, please take a seat, wait a moment, I will offer you the best storm liquor in our country."
Rivigaz welcomed Clown to the sofa in the room and walked into the suite.
When Theo saw the small barrel brought by Rivigaz, he immediately lost his composure.
‘You are such a snob. I can only drink two glasses of Storm Stout from you in a year, less than half a bottle. This time I will directly give you a barrel. This time, thanks to Lord Crow, I will drink until your liver hurts. ’
The Storm Stout is blue in color, and you can smell the aroma of wine when the barrel is opened.
Crow took the wine glass handed over, smelled it carefully, and smiled: "There is a scent of golden hops in it."
Golden hops are the product of hops mutation. The wine produced is refreshing, but has a strong aftertaste.
This kind of mutant hops is rare, and it costs a lot to make enough to brew two barrels of wine.
An expert. Rivergaz was overjoyed and his tone became more enthusiastic:
"Yes, Lord, you must also be a wine lover. This is the fine wine I have collected for many years. I got two barrels in total that year. Today we will not go home until we are drunk. Lord, please!"
Crow did not smell anything wrong with the wine, so he raised his head and drank it.
The fragrance stimulated the taste buds. As the wine was drunk, a heat rose from the dantian and lower abdomen. All the pores on the body were opened, and they breathed the air greedily.
"Good wine!"
As early as hearing that this wine was brewed from golden hops, Theo couldn't help it. Seeing Clown drink it, he hurriedly drank his own glass.
"Good wine, haha."
After three rounds of drinking, Clown explained his purpose:
"I need a special stone, golden in color, warm to the touch. I heard Theo mentioned that you have a piece of raw stone here. I wonder if you still have it now?"
"Yes, yes," Rivigaz replied hurriedly, "I'll get it for you now."
After saying that, he ran out at a speed that was very disproportionate to his body.
"This miser actually took out the storm liquor brewed from golden hops, which is clearly flattering you.
Today, I owe you a favor, otherwise I wouldn't have this blessing.
Sir, let's fill it up."
Theo filled the two glasses and toasted with Crown again.
When Rivigaz came back trotting, there was not much left in the barrel.
He lifted the stone with both hands and said, "Sir, please look, this is what you said, we call it 'bright yellow stone'.
The vessel made of this stone can maintain temperature, which is very magical."
In fact, this function is not worth mentioning, at least for the silver strongmen.
He didn't understand what the other party liked about this stone, but he knew that he had established a connection with the other party.
In the world of spiritual vision, the warm jade exuded a faint golden glow, and Clown could see the size of the jade inside through the stone skin.
A little yellow can be seen on the edge of this raw stone.
He judged that at least two jade talismans the size of a brick could be cut out, and he felt very happy in his heart, and said generously:
"I want the things, what's the price?"
He did not hide his satisfaction at all, because he didn't think he would be ripped off, unless the other party was a fool who wanted to make a one-time deal.
Speaking of the price, Rivigaz immediately became energetic:
"Sir, if this kind of stone is favored by the right buyer, one pound can be sold at the price of five gold spirit coins.
I will let the stonemason polish it and weigh it now, what do you think?"
In business, he would not give it to the other party for free, otherwise it would simply make people feel that he had ulterior motives. The more he faced high-end people, the more he had to have his own ethics, so as not to be looked down upon.
"Okay, hurry up."
Crown nodded. Even if the other party gave him something, he would leave the corresponding property. He disdained to take advantage of a businessman.
"Come in," Revigaz shouted at the top of his voice.
When he went to get the bright yellow stone, he had already notified his best stonemason to follow him, and he was outside the door.
A dark-skinned rough man walked in, bowed and said: "Mr. Revigaz, distinguished guests, hello."
"Mason, let the two distinguished guests see your craftsmanship."
