Chapter 349 Please take me to meet the cannibal devil! (Please order, please vote)
"Hello, His Majesty the Emperor!"
Li Hongzhang bowed deeply to the French Emperor and greeted him in the French he had just learned. Mathilde, who came with him, also curtsied to Napoleon III.
The French Emperor looked at the tall and burly Chinese, and then at his naughty cousin. She was not an easy woman to deal with! But looking at this Chinese's physique, Mathilde should be able to
Satisfied...\n.\n.\n,
"Everyone, take a seat," Napoleon III called for Mathilde and Li Hongzhang to take a seat, and then pointed to the cardinal and the beauty in white sitting next to him: "This is Cardinal Paul de Doria of the Holy See.
This is his niece, Countess Maria de Clementine.
Bishop Doria has just been appointed by the Holy See as the bishop of Nanjing and will soon go to Shanghai, China to take up his post."
Napoleon III spoke French, and Li Hongzhang definitely couldn't understand it. Fortunately, his spoken English was pretty good now, and Mathilde could act as a translator.
Mathilde had just translated Napoleon III's words into English. Before Li Hongzhang could think of how to reply, Maria spoke in stiff Chinese: "Master Li, my uncle was originally a member of the Vatican's Department of Heretics.
Minister, and once served as the chief exorcist of the Holy See...:...You should know the purpose of our trip to China, right?"
"Are you going to catch that Bull Demon King?"
Li Hongzhang glanced at the foreign girl who could speak Chinese and found that the woman had picturesque features, stunning appearance, and a figure that was even better than Mathilde's. He couldn't help but take another look at her.
"Catch the Bull Demon King?" Maria laughed when she heard Li Hongzhang's words, "I don't know magic, how can I catch that Bull Demon King?"
Li Hongzhang glanced at Cardinal Doria again. This archbishop looked a bit holy and solemn, and seemed to have some moral integrity.
"My uncle doesn't know magic either," Maria said with a smile, "Our mission is not to catch the monster, let alone hurt him."
"Then you...
+
Maria blinked her bright eyes: "Find him, then...\n...have a good talk with him, and then politely ask him to leave this world."
"What? That's a monster!" Li Hongzhang said in shock, "Countess, aren't you afraid of being harmed by that monster?"
Maria laughed, as if she was looking forward to it: "Master Li, tell me, how will Mr. Devil harm me?"
"He will...:.:" Li Hongzhang thought for a while and said seriously: "The demon may eat people!"
This is what "Journey to the West" says!
"Eat?" Maria looked at Li Hongzhang and laughed until he was distracted, then continued, "Then let him eat me! If he is really a man-eating monster, I won't
Mind being his delicious meal."
"ah?"
Li Hongzhang didn't even know what to say.
Only then did Maria put on her charming smile and continued to ask Li Hongzhang: "Master Li, can you take me to see that man-eating demon?
Li Hongzhang saw that this Maria was not joking, and thought: "She must have some ability to subjugate demons, but she just won't tell me! But Zi once said, respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them..."
Li Hongzhang quickly put this "foreign mission" elsewhere: "Countess, I have not seen the demon, but I know that one of the envoys living in the Elysee Palace has witnessed the arrival of the demon with his own eyes!"
"Really?" Maria de Clementina's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"It should be true," Li Hongzhang said, "many people have witnessed the demon descending from the sky with their own eyes!"
"What's that man's name?" Maria asked again.
"His name is Guarjia Yuanbao!" Li Hongzhang immediately "sold" Yuanbao.
"Thank you." Maria thanked her, then stood up and bowed to the French Emperor, "Your Majesty, I have already said hello."
Bishop Doria, who came with her, also stood up and bowed to the French Emperor.
They are specifically responsible for finding the devil. Now that they have clues, of course they have to follow the clues to find them.
Moreover, the topic that Li Hongzhang and Mathilde wanted to discuss with Napoleon III was not something they could participate in.
Napoleon III nodded to them, then made a gesture of invitation, and Maria and Bishop Doria left together.
"Dong dong dong..::
Guarga Motoho suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of the guest room where he lived. He thought it was time for afternoon snacks. In this era, the Elysee Palace was the state guesthouse of France, and the reception was of course very good.
Although Motoho wasn't very hungry, he still shouted in his newly learned French: "Come in."
Then, the door opened, and a nun with a graceful figure and an older monk wearing black robes walked in from the outside.
"Who are you?"
Motoho, who was sitting on the sofa to enjoy French afternoon tea, stood up and stared blankly at the visitor.
The nun spoke first, speaking in blunt Chinese: "I am Maria de Clementina, the nun of the Exorcism Department of the Holy See.
This is Bishop Paul, the chief exorcist! Are you Mr. Gualja Motoho?"
Yuanbao finally understood now that someone finally came to take care of that damn monster!
Yuanbao nodded: "I am Yuanbao...:...\nYou, are you here for that Bull Demon King?"
"Yes!" Maria said, "His Majesty the Pope has assigned Bishop Paul and me to take charge of this matter!"
"Quick, please sit down." Yuanbao quickly asked the two people in front of him to sit down, and then personally poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Maria and Paul both sat down. This time it was Bishop Paul who asked the question. His Chinese was much better than Maria's and he was very fluent: "Lord Gualgia, according to the report received by the Holy See, the demon is really a minotaur with a body.
With wings? I hope you can tell the truth, this is very important for our exorcism work!"
Yuanbao thought for a while and finally told the truth: "No, no...::...\nHe is not a minotaur."
"Then what is he like?" Bishop Paul asked.
"He is in human form." Motoho said truthfully, "Not much different from ordinary people. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks like he is only in his twenties. He rides a two-wheeled car, wears a yellow coat, and
A yellow helmet with bunny ears."
"Rabbit...ears?" Maria blinked.
"Yes! It's such a strange costume!" Motoho said.
"Did he show any magic?" Paul asked.
"Do riding a purple ball and falling from the sky count as magic?" Motoho asked.
"Let's forget it...is there anything else?"
Bishop Paul continued to ask.
Yuanbao shook his head: "No, no more...\n.\nOh, there are also prophecies. Is the "Great Book of Prophecy" considered magic?"
Maria and Paul looked at each other and did not answer Motoho's question.
The devil and the prophet...:::.are not the same thing!
"But the Holy See has also received reports of demons eating people and phantoms of bull demons. What happened?" Bishop Paul asked another question.
Yuanbao smiled bitterly: "Those were all made up by the defeated generals...\n.\n·.\n. But they were indeed defeated by the demon that fell from the sky!"
"Are you sure he became a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" Bishop Paul asked.
"Of course!" Yuanbao said, "because the demon was rescued by the hairy female general Su Sanniang after it descended from the sky!"
"Rescued?" Maria stared, "What happened?"
"That monster hit me on his bike!" Yuanbao said through gritted teeth. "When I was knocked down by him, I even kicked him. I flipped him and the car over. He seemed to have fainted. If it wasn't for Su San
My mother came with Changmao to kill me, so my men and I had no choice but to flee, and he would have been chopped into pieces long ago!"
"What happened next?" Maria asked.
"Later he became a high-ranking official at Changmao," Motoho said. "It seems that he became a holy angel first, then a chief lecturer, and then a military commander! Now he is even more powerful.
The five thousand-year-old King of Wu, the Westerning Military Advisor, the Nanyang Minister of the Qing Dynasty, and the Governor of Shanghai!"
"What?"
"Mr. Gualga, what are you talking about?"
Guarjia Yuanbao gritted his teeth and said: "For some unknown purpose, this monster came to Shanghai in the name of Luo Xueyan, defrauded a large sum of money from Jiang Customs Supervisor Wu Jianzhang, and used the money to purchase foreign goods in Shanghai.
He also trained the new army...\n.\n. The imperial court was also deceived by him, thinking that he was from the Hunan Army, and seeing that he could lead troops, they promoted him greatly. It is really abominable!
"
Both Mary and Paul looked stunned. Now that they had finally found the rightful owner, all they needed to do next was to find out whether he was the devil or a prophet.
