Chapter 500 Ludovico

Chapter 501 Ludovic

It's been a week.

Ye Qingxuan sat in prison, waiting for news.

Perhaps late one night, someone from a certain agency in the Holy City would pick him up, stuff him into a black carriage, and disappear from the world.

Maybe he will be put on trial in front of all the countries, and then go to the gallows according to the determined results.

Or maybe, just spend your whole life here in obscurity.

Until one day his hair turns gray, and he is thrown out because of some exchange of political interests, spending his old age being despised, and dying in a place where no one cares about him.

Although Ye Qingxuan had imagined various bad situations, he had already made up his mind to escape from prison immediately after collecting all kinds of information in a few days.

But he still didn't imagine what was happening in front of him.

From a certain perspective, it can be said to be the worst case scenario.

Ye Qingxuan didn't think Ludovic came to see him now, he just wanted to have lunch with him.

"Please sit down, Ye Qingxuan."

Ludovic pointed to the chair in front of him: "Letting guests eat standing up is not the way to treat guests."

Of course Ye Qingxuan would not be polite to him, he just pulled out a chair and sat down, staring calmly at the old man opposite: "You have to be polite when you are entertaining guests in prison.

Is this the background of the nobility? "

"Heritage is reflected in every aspect, child."

Ludovic was like a kind old man with a gentle tone. In front of him, Ye Qingxuan was indeed a child. He was probably not even a fifth of Ludovic's age.

Ye Qingxuan frowned and said nothing.

Ludovic raised the wine glass in his hand casually: "For example, diet, this is a university subject."

"Is it?"

Ye Qingxuan asked calmly: "Can I help you eat well?"

Ludovic heard his sarcasm and shook his head helplessly: "After all, he is still a young man. He likes to overeat and does not understand the beauty of food combinations."

The waiter came forward, poured red wine for the two of them, and served the appetizers.

Ye Qingxuan's brows raised.

This is not the Dan Feng Bai Lu he ordered.

"do you know?"

Ludovic said calmly: "The most valuable thing about Feileng Cui smoked salmon is actually the fragrance of the meat. Although Danfeng Bailu is good, it is only better because of its scarcity, which will destroy its taste.

Try it, I will give you a good wine from the Royal Winery of Angelou, which is most suitable for food.

Winemakers call it knight because its aroma is like a knight, protecting it and not affecting the taste of food. "

As he spoke, he cut a piece of salmon himself and put it into his mouth. When eating, his manner was elegant, and he was still full of grace even when tasting wine.

"This is so good. The last time I tasted this was sixteen years ago. I didn't expect that I could still taste such delicious food after such a long time."

"Please help me thank Mr. Plan. His craftsmanship allows me to taste the essence of delicious food."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to the waiter, who nodded and left. It was expected that the chef would be ecstatic when he learned that he had been praised by Ludovic.

But Ye Qingxuan didn't buy it.

"Aren't you an ascetic monk?"

He asked, "I'm afraid it won't be good if word spreads about it if you are so greedy for enjoyment."

Ludovic smiled and shook his head slowly: "My child, your news is too late. Just yesterday, my ascetic career ended."

"——From now on, there is nothing in this world worthy of my asceticism."

A newspaper was placed in front of Ye Qingxuan. The newspaper that had just been printed this morning had the biggest news in the world on the front page.

Archbishop Ludovic will succeed him as pope.

After tomorrow, he will be the new Red King, the shepherd of the souls of all living beings, and the only representative of God in the world.

This is the worst news.

Ye Qingxuan took a look and threw the newspaper aside.

"I know what you're thinking."

Ludovic lowered his head, tasting the dishes served, and said calmly: "Abraham was rescued, but he can't leave the emergency room yet.

Don't worry, I won't let him die. Now he has been sent to the Mithril Vault to be frozen. It can be expected that he can live for a long time, maybe longer than you. "

The Vault of Mithril, a harsh prison where musicians become distraught after hearing this.

In other words, the musician's safe house.

Musicians who have committed serious crimes but cannot be killed for various reasons will be sent there, frozen after several processes, and sleep in coffins from then on until one day, the Holy City finds a way to atone for their sins and brings them back to life again. wake.

And more people died quietly in the long sleep, disappearing silently.

"Bai Xi is with Hermes, so you don't have to worry."

When Ludovic mentioned Bai Xi, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a smart little girl. She ran away at the slightest sign of trouble. Originally, I wanted to bring her here today to meet you."

Ye Qingxuan was silent, but his eyes turned cold.

become dangerous.

But Ludovic seemed unaware.

He just picked up the oysters and oyster knife that had just been served, and said enthusiastically:

"Don't let the food down, enjoy your lunch first, Ye Qingxuan."

Snap.

The shell of the oyster is pried open, revealing the white soft flesh. When you suck it into your mouth, the sweet and fragrant juice is released.

The flavor of life.

very nice.

——

This was perhaps the most exquisite meal Ye Qingxuan had ever eaten.

But I don’t know the taste of the food.

Ludovic seemed to have really come to enjoy lunch. During the meal, he talked about what happened in the Holy City these days, his words were humorous, and he occasionally told two short jokes.

There is no hint of evil or malice, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but think maliciously: If he just ate with others, he might be able to make a lot of money.

Soon, the lunch was finally finished.

The table was cleared.

After the violinist finished playing, he bowed and left.

The waiter brought the cigar box and knife, and offered matches.

Ye Qingxuan didn't wait for Ludovic to become more enthusiastic. He reached out and picked out a cigarette and cut it casually. He didn't care whether it made old smokers feel distressed to waste a good thing like this. He didn't even bother to strike a match and pressed his fingers on the cigar. In an instant, a blazing red fire light was left.

Smoke rose.

Ludovic just smiled and did not comment on his rude behavior. He just slowly lit the match, turned the cigar in his hand, and heated it bit by bit.

Two matches later, the cigar was lit.

Green smoke curled up, blurring his face.

"Let's talk about business, Ye Qingxuan." He said, "I think you may not be able to wait any longer."

"No, I really enjoy chatting with you."

Ye Qingxuan chuckled: "I'm not in a hurry. Really, it's best for me to take a hot bath. Let us two brothers take a sauna together, be honest with each other, talk to each other, and finally drink some wine. Let's go to your house." Choose a few beautiful girls in a private club to spend the last day before you take the throne and leave precious memories. ”

"Is it?"

Ludovic smiled: "Then I want to thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ye Qingxuan shook his head modestly: "This is what I should do. The beautiful time is so short, so we must cherish it more."

"If you want, I can let you live like this every day."

Ludovic spread his hands and said enthusiastically: "How about I help you build this prison into a resort?

As long as you don't leave here, you'll have whatever you want. gourmet food? sauna? Beauty? It's not a problem at all, even if you want to see those little girls in the choir doing striptease, I can satisfy you.

I have to say that now some girls are so hot and bold after taking off their robes, you will definitely be shocked. "

"..."

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can't ask for more."

"But you don't want to, Ye Qingxuan."

Ludovic sighed: "Don't lie to an old man, especially don't lie to someone like me who is the best at lying. It makes no sense.

Why not see the situation clearly?

Do you think I would use my negotiation skills on you in a serious way?

If you want to take back the initiative, it doesn't matter, because I never thought about negotiating with you from the beginning.

You have tried your best, and now the initiative is in your hands, but what can you change?

Relax a little, Ye Qingxuan. I've said it before, it's good for both you and me to be honest with each other. "

Ye Qingxuan fell silent and his expression became gloomy.

Ludovic was right.

If he wanted to do something to him, he would have no way to resist.

One is the pope and the other is a prisoner.

There has never been such a huge gap in the world.

Tomorrow, the whole world will be in his hands. Could it be that by taking the initiative in the conversation, Ye Qingxuan could change his mind and thoughts?

"I'm polite, and it seems you've learned some humility with it, kid. That's good."

Ludovic nodded with satisfaction, smoked a cigar, and said calmly: "Maxwell is going crazy now, do you know?"

"because I?"

"It's not just because of you." Ludovic spread his hands: "To be honest, if the sword holder is gone, you can still find him again. Although it is difficult to find, there may not be a second one.

Your matter is a political dilemma for Angru, but the reason why politics is called politics is because there are always solutions that can be solved and compromised.

But what Angru is suffering now is a serious problem in his heart. "

"Elizabeth's condition has worsened."

Ludovic shook his head and sighed: "That little girl has been holding on for so many years, and the dragon's blood curse has penetrated into the bone marrow. There is no cure... Archbishop Mephistopheles has tried his best to treat her for so many years, but now, there is no way.

If you are unlucky, there may be less than a month left.

What makes matters worse is Leviathan.

A few months ago, the changes in Guixu formed a chain reaction in the etheric realm, and one of the results was that Leviathan's resurrection time was accelerated. It is expected that it will fully wake up in half a year.

Now, infected by Leviathan's breath, the fleets of various countries are currently being attacked to varying degrees. The demons in the sea have begun to mutate and evolve, and their reproductive capacity has also increased to a jaw-dropping level.

I'm afraid that before long, the number of monsters in the ocean will increase exponentially.

By then, humans will no longer be able to talk about owning the ocean.

Now Angru has launched a war plan and mobilized the entire population. Once a war breaks out, Angru will bear the brunt and will lose half of its territory and two-thirds of its population.

The most optimistic outcome is that after paying a huge price, the new emperor who succeeds will be able to kill it again. The most tragic result was that Angel activated the Holy Grail of Destruction and died together with Leviathan. "

Ye Qingxuan was silent.

"This is already the best plan, Ye Qingxuan. In order to capture the hundred-armed giant with the same name as Leviathan, the Holy City has made such a tragic sacrifice. Now facing the four living creatures in its heyday, how could Angelo not What about paying a price?"

Ludovic said calmly: "Even so, despite internal and external troubles, Maxwell still did not give up on you, and his determination is worthy of admiration.

It's a pity that the new emperor has not yet succeeded to the throne, and Angelou is in a mess. He has no ability to do anything, and he does not even dare to leave Avalon.

Anglo diplomats are currently protesting every day in front of the Holy Wheel Court, but the new head of the Pardon Department has not yet been appointed, and your case is still far away.

However, Dongfang's attitude towards this matter is quite strange.

The officials acted as if nothing had happened and ignored the incident. The ambassador claimed that he was ill and had not seen guests for a week, but there was no response at all.

But secretly, many people from the East have met several key figures. Unfortunately, they all want you to die..."

Ludovic sighed: "You are already a thorn in the eyes of many people, Ye Qingxuan. Bai Heng will never allow the Ye family to continue to exist, let alone give you a chance to return to the East alive."

"This is really bad."

Ye Qingxuan looked indifferent, but pretended to cry: "What should I do? Lord Ludovic! You are a compassionate and kind-hearted man, who is enthusiastic about helping the poor. You must think of a way to help me. ”

"Is this sincere? Ye Qingxuan?"

Ludovic looked at him with a smile: "Aren't you planning a famous prison break? As far as I know, you seem to be very interested in the boiler room in the past two days. Do you want to escape from here through the hot water pipe? This is really a good idea Method.

But if you want to get out of here, there's no need to bother. I can let you walk out of the door openly, and I guarantee that you won't have any worries. "

"But at what cost?"

Ye Qingxuan asked indifferently: "From the beginning to now, you have gone around in so many circles. You must be waiting for now, right? Finally we have entered the topic."

"You are a rational person, Ye Qingxuan, much more rational than your father."

Ludovic shook his head and sighed: "More than ten years ago, I said the same thing to him. Unfortunately, he rejected me without even listening to the conditions. I originally thought that today would be in vain."

"I am me and he is him."

Ye Qingxuan said coldly: "Just getting rid of the crime will not be enough. Be generous, Mr. Pope, what else can you give me?"

"Ye Qingxuan, is there anything in this world that you want that I can't give you?"

Ludovic smiled, put down the cigar in his hand, and stared at Ye Qingxuan: "My child, I can endorse your purity in the name of God. I can even canonize you as a sinless saint and make you a true saint. !

You will be the embodiment of purity and integrity!

I can make your future road smooth and make all your wishes come true.

Do you want to go back to Angelo? The Holy City will help you deal with Leviathan, just like we once dealt with the Hundred-Armed Giant. I can even help you evade the Anglo royal family and make you the uncrowned king of Anglo!

Do you want to help rehabilitate your mother? As long as you nod your head, your mother's deeds will immediately appear in the church's Sutra.

I can release your teacher, help him erase all records, and let him live openly in this world. Even if you want to go back to the east, I will help you rebuild the Ye family. If necessary, the Holy City can even make you the second Bai Heng!

Think about it, one person is inferior to ten thousand people..."

He paused and showed a loving smile: "Of course, it would be better if you are willing to stay in the Holy City.

I can re-baptize you, Ye Qingxuan. From now on, you are my godson, and everything in the Sforza family can be handed over to you to inherit.

Within two years, you will become a bishop. When you return after five years of absence, you will be awarded a cardinal and be in charge of a diocese.

At the age of thirty, you will enter the Church of Cardinals at the youngest age ever, and you can sit at my right hand and become Vice-President of the Holy City.

After my death, you will be the new Pope! "

Dead silence.

In the dead silence, Ye Qingxuan put out his cigar and asked lightly: "Am I your biological son?"

"I am old enough to be your grandfather, Ye Qingxuan."

Ludovic spread his hands: "I had many lovers when I was young, but none of them were oriental. Neither men nor women.

So, you don’t have to worry. "

"Then why should I trust you?"

Ye Qingxuan asked: "Believe a politician who lies habitually? I'm not that crazy."

"I told you before, Ye Qingxuan, why do I need to lie to you?"

Ludovic stared at him with pity and mercy in his eyes: "As long as you bow to me, child, as long as you surrender to me, everything in this world is at your fingertips.

I can give you everything you want. "

"After you took everything from me?"

Ye Qingxuan raised his eyes and looked at him.

The pupils were pitch black, reflecting the sunlight outside the window, as if black iron had been heated red, which was shocking.

"Mr. Ludovic, I don't know what value I have that is worth paying such a high price for you. My heart tells me that you are not lying, and everything you say is from the sincerity.

Unfortunately, you are destined to return without success today. "

Ye Qingxuan shook his head slowly, stood up, looked down at the majestic old man, and couldn't help showing a sneer.

"——Because you don't deserve it."

He stopped looking at Ludovico, pushed the chair away, and turned away.

Ludovico looked at him quietly, without anger or any shame, just smiling leisurely.

But in front of the door, Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

Because the door had disappeared.

In front of Ye Qingxuan was a smooth and flat wall, on which the original door pattern was carefully depicted. The pattern was lifelike and looked like the real thing.

Only an iron door handle was embedded in the wall, and no matter how Ye Qingxuan turned it, there was no response.

It was like a bad joke.

A trick game.

But Ye Qingxuan's face turned pale.

Because all the sounds disappeared.

I don't know when, in his perception, all the people had disappeared. The whole prison was empty... No, the world on the other side of the wall had disappeared.

He could only feel a void of chaos.

"I don't deserve it?"

Ludovico's voice came from behind the dining table: "No, Ye Qingxuan, you are wrong."

Ye Qingxuan turned back stiffly and saw his meaningful smile.

He made a sound, as if declaring the truth:

"——The only person in the world who deserves your loyalty is me."

So, he saw the scorching sun falling rapidly from the sky outside the large floor-to-ceiling window behind Ludovico, falling to the ground and turning into a large glass ball emitting red light.

He saw the moon rising from the horizon, disintegrating in the sky, and turning into endless frost.

The earth rose and fell silently, the mountains and rivers were rebuilt, and the endless rivers submerged everything, turning the world outside the window into an ocean. In the deepest part of the ocean, huge strange fish swam silently, and through the glass, the terrifying pupils that were several meters in size curiously peeked at the scene in the room.

And then, it was swallowed by an even larger strange fish.

The blood gushed out, dyed everything red, turned into flames, and turned the world into purgatory charcoal.

Until the end, the earth, water, fire and wind were destroyed one after another.

In the chaos, the world was recreated, and everything was born...

Everything was unreal, like a dream.

But Ye Qingxuan could sense every detail and every tiny change. Because of this, he felt... fear from the bottom of his heart!

He didn't even know what was going on, what happened!

In the end, his eyes fell on the man in front of the window, and his eyes became sharp, as if he wanted to tear off his disguise and see what kind of monster was hidden under his flesh and blood!

But even if he used all his abilities, he still couldn't find anything wrong.

All this seemed to have nothing to do with Ludovico.

There was no ether fluctuation.

He was just an ordinary old man.

Ye Qingxuan looked at him, sweating profusely.

He clearly couldn't feel anything, but invisibly, there was a huge pressure surrounding and engulfing him, making his heart beat wildly, his hands trembling, and almost suffocating in the dead silence.

"What the hell are you?"

"Please introduce yourself again, Ye Qingxuan."

Ludovico sat upright in his chair, staring at the boy: "I am the president of the Holy City's One Heart Monks, the head of the Sforza family, and the ruler of the Holy City..."

He paused and smiled strangely:

"I represent the only and true god in this world, the master of all evil thoughts, disgusting thoughts and evil deeds.

I am the true agent of the Hundred Eyes in the world, one of the nine incarnations with the source of all evil, the Lord of Darkness, the King of Destruction and Killing, and the Cunning Spider.

You can call me Ludovico...

--Former Dark Pope Ludovico."
