Chapter 299 Visit and Support
"I have learned the details. I can send you reinforcements."
The Pope nodded to the Skitarii beside him and asked them to start their work.
The heavy construct leaned over beside Ji Lin and held up the teacup with thick bright silver fingers and placed it in front of him. He looked at the bone china teacup that looked like a toy in the hands of the Skitarii, and was a little worried that it would not be stable and crush the teacup.
It placed the bone china teacup steadily on the tea tray, picked up the soft white teapot with platinum patterns and poured it into the bone china teacup in front of Ji Lin.
One-third full.
Lift the pot and stop the flow.
Precision, perfection, balance.
Ji Lin looked at the three bone china teacups of the same height. The other party was showing him in this way that the strength of the Skitarii was not just their size and strength.
Three people, each of them had a Skitarii standing beside them to serve them. The construct that would not leak secrets was the best waiter for such occasions.
Ji Lin sat alone on a chair, while Alicia and the Pope sat on a bench opposite him at a distance.
If you ignore the three guardsmen, they are sitting in a delicate house with white and gold as the main color, drinking afternoon tea leisurely. On the table is tea made from the World Tree tea leaves, and cakes are placed to decorate the table to make it look less empty.
The afternoon sun shines on their shoulders, which is warm and bright.
The three guardsmen put away the teapots at the same time, put them on a cart on the side, and stand aside as their most loyal guards.
Ji Lin received a standard letter of recommendation from the old bishop of the territory, and then he was introduced all the way to the Pope's Hall, and then, then sat here.
And Alicia, who happened to be working here - Ji Lin suspected that the old bishop knew something and specially picked a time for his letter of introduction.
After reading the information that Ji Lin had sorted out overnight, the old pope did not let her leave, and Alicia just sat beside him as a bystander. She lowered her eyes, her delicate face remained calm, and she didn't even say hello to him.
Ji Lin cleared his mind of chaotic thoughts and waited for the old pope to continue what he said.
"After you come back, help us complete the task of recovering the holy box."
There is no gift without reason, Ji Lin is very clear about this.
This is a deal, a deal that is in the interests of both parties.
The system loads new tasks into his task list in a timely manner so that he can check it at any time.
'The new exploration/recovery task has been entered into the file. '
'Exploration task: Level 6'
'Broken Wing March'
'Can the broken wings grow again? '
Ji Lin retracted his gaze and fell on the cathars who had recovered to the solidity of a sculpture on the side.
"I know you will not die, so this work should be quite friendly and reasonable for you... If we are responsible for the recovery task, a group of very excellent priests will be sacrificed."
The pope said.
As for the others, the church's control over them is not enough to guarantee that they will not steal the holy box - the church must rule out the possibility that they will take the risk to steal the holy box.
Don't put your trust in the credit of others.
Moreover, they are not qualified to carry out exploration missions. Ji Lin's fifth era really shocked the pope. In the Holy City, or all the lords known to the Holy City except Ji Lin, no one has reached the fifth era, and even very few people have touched the threshold of the fifth era.
Ji Lin nodded, agreeing to the deal proposed by the pope.
The pope showed a gentle smile, placed the teaspoon in the light green tea and leaned it against the edge of the cup, expressing his approval of the gift brought by Ji Lin.
"Thank you for your gift."
Ji Lin's eyes twitched.
That was a full pound of tender leaves of the world tree, a pound!
He sold it by the piece!
This is the only product that the territory can show off to the outside world. The crystal ore has been suppressed and cannot be sold to the outside world, and it is absolutely not allowed to dump it to the natives.
Ji Lin looked at Alicia, who was sitting next to the Pope. She closed her eyes and sipped the tea made from the tender leaves of the World Tree. Her light silver hair was tied behind her ears, reflecting a faint glow in the sunlight. She was dignified, and it was hard to tell what the girl was thinking at the moment.
"We can discuss the details of the dispatched army in detail next."
The Pope took a sip of the tea in the cup, letting the breath of life in it permeate his body, and adjusted the topic to another direction to implement the cooperation.
"I can provide you with a qualified assistant among the excellent and mature priests in the Holy City, such as Antonio... He is very open-minded and considerate."
"If you need it, we can also let a bishop assist you, but the bishop is just a title, which does not mean that their ability is definitely stronger than other high-level priests."
"..."
Silence, silence continued.
"..."
"There are many young talents in the Holy City, and our advanced seminary provides the best education."
The Pope put down the tea tray in his hand and gently stirred the swaying green leaves in the cup with a teaspoon. He would not let Alicia leave the Holy City easily, and he did not need to use anyone to win over anyone.
As long as they were still in the Holy City and in this world, it would protect all lives that followed the rules.
"I don't think Alicia is suitable to leave the Holy City. You can choose many assistants."
