Du Wei looked at the mythical beast with expectation, his heart beating very fast at this moment.
"I don't know very clearly." QQ's words undoubtedly made Du Wei's adrenaline secretion suddenly increase! If you know "not very clearly", does that mean you know at least a little bit? It's okay to know a little bit!
Probably because Du Wei's eyes were too hot, QQ shrank his head strangely: "Okay... I think you probably know that in legends, gods have the power of prophecy. Of course, there are also legends that prophecies are not gods.
A special ability. As long as your strength and spells reach a certain level, such as reaching a level close to that of a god, you can also predict people and things in the future.
In particular, when the goddess performs a miracle, there are records about the 'prophecy' on the stone that is full of magical skills... But it is a pity that I think these magical skills taught by gods to humans are...
But they are all low-level things, which are really powerful and advanced. The goddess will not teach them to humans! Therefore, the prophecy is not written on that stone tablet.
As the head of the church at that time, of course I saw all these magical arts. I also secretly copied a copy of these magical arts and gave them to Master Aragon.
Well, I think it may be because Master Aragorn is so powerful that he is close to the realm of gods. Therefore, he probably has the ability to prophesy. As a result, when we went north that time, on the Dragon Clan’s Divine Mountain, he
He sealed me, and before sealing him, he said to me, 'Someone will open this place in the future and wake you up. That person will inherit everything from me, and he will also take good care of you, so please help him more.'
After that, the master used magic to put me to sleep, and he, I knew, must have crossed the sacred mountain and continued walking all the way north.
It's just that I was already asleep at that time. So I don't know anything about what happened after that."
Du Wei's face didn't look good.
Prophecy?
Damn prophecy! Du Wei didn’t believe it was that simple!
That little Lufik in Nanyang actually had "Hello Du Wei" written in Chinese characters on the soles of his feet. Can such a strange thing be explained by a simple "prophecy"?
It seems that every step he takes, there is the lingering shadow of Aragorn hanging over him, as if every step he takes, he is faintly involved in Aragorn's calculations from thousands of years ago!
This is definitely not something that can be explained by a simple "prophecy"! Even if Aragorn has the ability to predict things a thousand years from now, there is no reason why he should know so many details clearly!
"So... what about Nanyang?" Du Wei sighed: "How much do you know about Nanyang? Aragon actually left a message for me on the soles of that Nanyang boy..."
"I don't know." QQ shook his head: "I know nothing about Nanyang. Maybe the master went to Nanyang after I fell asleep. Well, that must be the case. After I fell asleep, he went to the Dragon Clan first.
North of Mount Kailash, and then to Nanyang? Well, that must be the case."
It seems that this QQ has told everything it knows.
But Du Wei looked at this guy carefully. He still couldn't help but feel doubtful. This bird is not so honest! Judging from its consistent behavior, it always hides many secrets.
"Qq." Du Wei sighed. He tried to make his tone more sincere. Since he couldn't be too hard, he could only be soft: "I said...since Aragorn left you to me and gave you a lot of
Help me. Then, I think you should be open and honest. You see, you have not told me these things before, but you have hidden them from me! So now, I think... you should tell everything you know.
Tell me, this may be of greater help to me. Please stop hiding anything, okay?"
After listening to Du Wei's words, QQ suddenly shouted to Qu Lai: "Oh, Master Du Wei. I really have nothing to hide from you... I can swear, I swear to the goddess of light!"
Du Wei cursed angrily: "Go to hell! Don't you believe in the goddess of light at all? Only a ghost will believe you if you swear to the goddess."
He was even more convinced that this hateful bird must have something to hide from him.
Du Wei was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do about the bird. Finally, seeing Du Wei's depressed look, QQ relaxed a little and said:
"Dear Master Du Wei, there are many things that are useless to say now. More things can only be beneficial to you if you say them after you have strong strength. If you say them too early, it may not be a good thing.
ah."
Du Wei rolled his eyes: "Huh, that's nice! Why are you willing to say this to me today?"
"Because I think today is a good time." qq suddenly stopped joking, and its tone was very serious.
"opportunity?"
"Yes." QQ said seriously: "Dear Master Duwei, I think that your acquaintance with Bishop Maximus is a good opportunity: an opportunity to extend your hand into the church! Remember me and
Are you talking about the master of Aragorn's plan to usurp the gods? Since you are the master's heir, we might as well continue with this plan to usurp the gods."
"Go to hell." Du Wei sneered unconcernedly: "I've eaten enough to support myself? Why should I take the initiative to find trouble in the temple? I am free and easy as my Duke in the northwest. I don't know how happy I am.
!”
QQ was not angry, but just smiled faintly: "That's not right. My master, the relationship between you and the temple will break down one day. You see... If you don't say anything else, let's just say that you don't know what to do now.
How many taboo things are taboo in the temple, such as...Hussein? For example, Her Majesty Queen Medusa? Look, these things can be concealed for a while, but they may not be able to be concealed for a lifetime. If one day the temple knows..."
"Then let's wait until that day comes!" Du Wei still shook his head: "I just want to live my life freely. Subverting the temple? Such a great cause. I have no interest in it. And... don't talk to me anymore.
Why the hell did I inherit Aragorn's mission! I have no interest in this! I have no interest in inheriting Aragorn's mission! What does a guy who has been dead for a thousand years have to do with me!"
"It seems that you want to hide...but can you escape?" QQ laughed: "Master Duwei, think about it. Bishop Maximus boarded your ship, and you helped him drive away the pursuers.
Local people. It means you have offended the Yeni sect in the temple! And... the eldest prince's daughter, Her Royal Highness the Saint in the temple, has always been at odds with you. If you don't mess with them, won't they come?
Annoying you?
You are going to have dinner with Bishop Maximos tonight. By then..."
Du Wei was silent for a while: "I really can't hide from the temple. But let me tell you. I may deal with the temple, maybe do something... But, I will not participate in your plan to usurp the gods! No more
In my opinion, the temple is just the same existence as the Magic Guild. It can be used and traded. But I definitely don’t want to establish such a big enemy! So, I may trade something with Bishop Maximus, but subverting the temple? Humph.
, such a great cause. I am not interested!"
After saying that, Du Wei left QQ alone, turned around and walked out of the room.
Looking at Du Wei's back, QQ sighed, then smiled and said to himself: "Look, what I said is right. There are many things, even if I tell you now, it is useless. You will have to wait until you can't avoid it.
It takes a day to say it before you can accept it. Let me tell you now. You are not willing to take responsibility. Hmm... Do you think it is easy to deal with the temple? My master... The temple is a quagmire. You have to stick one foot in it.
, it will be difficult to pull it out again!"
Duweidi's boat drove all the way downstream. In the evening, it passed the last bend in the river. After passing this bend, it was only a few days' journey from the imperial capital. After that, the river gradually became wider and flatter.
There are more and more boats on the river.
In this case, if the temple wants to send someone to assassinate him in broad daylight and there are so many boats on the river, there is no chance.
In the evening, Du Wei invited the bishop to have dinner with him. However, Du Wei was slightly surprised that during the dinner, only Maximus attended the dinner, while neither Archdeacon Rams nor that Rhine came.
.
"Ramus is a little seasick and is resting in the room. Rhine...he doesn't understand etiquette. I think there is no need for him to attend the Duke's dinner party." Maximus changed into a clean robe, although he still
It's an old robe, but it's starched and very neat. He must have taken a shower in the room in the afternoon, and his hair is standing up meticulously.
He looked like a neat, simple, and well-groomed old priest.
Du Wei knew that the bishop probably had something to talk to him about, and it was good that there was no one else around.
The two of them sat down immediately, and Du Wei was served fine wine and food, mainly some northwest-style delicacies. After the two began to chat for a while, Maximos directly got to the point.
"Your Majesty, Duke, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude for your help today. Please allow me to propose a toast to you." The Bishop raised his glass.
After the two of them had a drink together, Maximus put down his glass and continued: "It's just that I'm very worried... What you did today has ruined the Yeni party's plan to kill me. The Yeni party has always acted
The style is resolute and cruel, and justice must be repaid. You offended them for me today, I think..."
Hum, here comes the drama. Du Wei sneered in his heart, but smiled very peacefully on his face: "Oh, I'm not worried. Dear Bishop! Even if I offend these guys, I believe that in the great temple
, these Yeni people can’t cover up the sky with one hand, right?”
"That's what I said." Maximus sighed: "But now it seems that the Yeni sect's momentum has indeed surpassed that of our Mossad sect. After all, their teachings are more in line with the appetite of most people. And we
...advocating frugal asceticism, in this world, there are not many people who are willing to frugal and ascetic. Most people feel that the Yeni sect's idea of expanding the influence and power of the church is more in line with their appetite. Of course, the Yeni sect is still
Without taking power, I might not dare to openly retaliate against an imperial duke like you, but if I let them get it..."
"Pope's right of succession?" Du Wei smiled slightly.
"Yes." Maximus sighed: "If a Yeni sect becomes the pope, then..."
At this point, he paused deliberately and then said with a sincere look: "Speaking of which, these troubles are all because of me. If I had not boarded your ship, you would not have been involved.
"
Du Wei waved his hand and said calmly: "There is no point in talking about this now, Lord Bishop. Let me be frank. What happened today was not entirely to save you. If it were anyone else on my ship,
I will protect you! After all, with my status, if word spreads that someone comes to my ship and kills my guests, I, the Duke of Tulip, will not dare to speak, but will shrink back in fear. How can I survive in the future? "
Although his words were a little rude, the truth was tenable. Maximus nodded and said gently: "Well, the Duke is telling the truth, but after all, it was you who saved me. This cannot be denied.
No matter what, when I return to the Imperial Capital Temple, I will definitely deal with it. As long as I am still in the temple, I will never allow these guys to take revenge on you."
This was a wonderful thing to say. Du Wei secretly sighed in his heart, how could these people with great backgrounds always make such a grand statement about what was clearly a naked exchange of interests?
"As long as I am still in the temple, they will not be allowed to retaliate against you." It sounds nice, but the meaning is very clear: If you want them not to retaliate against you, you must make sure that I am still in power in the temple! Only I am here
Only by holding power in the temple can you ensure that they dare not retaliate against you.
It's that simple.
Du Wei understood that this was a verbal test for him. If he accepted it, the next step would be for both parties to negotiate terms.
Thinking of this, Du Wei picked up his wine glass, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "My Lord Bishop, I don't know why they are so anxious to assassinate you on the road when you return to the imperial capital this time? Could it be... His Majesty the Pope...
…”
Even if you ask me to place a bet, I still have to see if you are worth my investment. Du Wei looked like he was harmless to humans and animals with a smile on his face.
