Senat glanced at Catherine sitting across the round table with a fiery gaze. He had an unusual admiration for the former Queen of the Imperial Capital. Unfortunately, he did not dare to do any inappropriate behavior. After all, this was not the first time he had seen this. The power of the legendary mage Ryan, and the absolutely flawless and beautiful woman in front of him, can confront Ryan head-on. If he provokes him, just one little finger of Catherine is enough to turn the entire city of Sike into ruins.
"Your Majesty Senat, Your Majesty Senat." Nicholas, the great lich with the pseudonym Safanas, sat next to Senat. He had long seen Senat's thoughts, but he pretended not to see it. He just used He called Senat in a very normal tone, but he quietly used a weak mental induction magic. This small method quickly mobilized Senat's mind.
"If I guess correctly, several cardinals from the imperial capital will arrive probably tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I believe His Majesty Senat is already ready to receive them. This time I have also prepared a small gift for them. Your Majesty the future Pope, but please pass it on to His Majesty Senat." Nicholas's tone always maintained an unhurried and calm tone, and it sounded as if his mood would never be affected by any external factors.
"Ah, Master Sarfanas, your gift must be very precious. I wonder if I can see it here first." After all, Senat is a hero. Once he gets down to business, he will quickly be attracted by Catherine's beauty. Get out,
"Of course, and if possible, I would like this gift to be given in your name, so that everyone can have an explanation." Nicholas pointed casually, and a black wooden box suddenly appeared on the round table. superior,
Senat gently pulled the wooden box in front of him out of curiosity. The wooden box was covered with all kinds of mysterious spells that he couldn't understand at all. He didn't know what their function was, but from this point alone, it was clear that It was enough to see that the items contained in the wooden box were quite important. Senat did not rush to open the wooden box, but gently touched the wooden box that seemed to have experienced countless vicissitudes of life with his hand. A kind of feeling came from his fingertips. It was a unique feeling that only accumulated over time. This made Senat look forward to the things in the black wooden box even more. He thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't think of what kind of gift Safanas could come up with to attract those people. The cardinal's gaze,
As for the true identity of Safanas, Senat has actually long been aware of it, but his situation is very bad anyway, so he no longer worries about it. Now, after working closely with the forces behind Safanas, Senat has not only stabilized the defense line, but also has the possibility to go further. As long as he carries out the current plan, he may even have a chance to become the same existence as Fernando I. No, it should be said that he will surpass the man who founded the Holy Alliance Empire. A king with a history of 200 years, because he, Senat, can become the first monarch in mankind in hundreds of years to be crowned and blessed by the Pope. The great significance of this is naturally self-evident.
Senat didn't come up with his own answer. He flicked his fingers and opened the clasp on the wooden box. Then Senat gently pushed up with his hands, and the cover of the black wooden box was immediately pushed open by him. The items contained in the wooden box were exposed. Before Senat could express himself, a soft yellowish light enveloped his upper body. Not only that, the holy aura emanating from the items in the wooden box even Soon it permeated the entire room,
"This... this is... no... impossible." Senat was already incoherent. He was not a useless idiot. Naturally, he knew exactly what the item he saw in front of him was. It was just that this item had been around for a long time in human history. It had been missing for hundreds of years, and he didn't expect it to be lying quietly in front of him. Now Senat finally understood the confident tone Nicholas used when he proposed the entire plan, because no cardinal could reject its temptation,
With trembling hands, Senat gently picked up the tiara that exuded a holy aura from the wooden box. As soon as he took possession of the tiara made of unknown materials, Senat immediately felt a sacred power integrating into his body. His spirit was suddenly lifted, and his body was filled with infinite power.
"The mercy of the gods, my God, it is truly the mercy of the gods." Senat now understood that the thing in front of him was not a fake, because it was impossible to imitate such vast divine power. He looked at his hand in surprise. He looked at the crown on his head and looked at Nicholas, whose pseudonym was Savanas. It was unclear how this archmage with a background of the undead army could possess the crown of the former human pope.
That's right, this simple-looking tiara is the artifact passed down from generation to generation by every pope, the "Mercy of the Gods". It can endlessly provide His Majesty the Pope with huge divine power. In this way, as a human pope, he can use all kinds of power. When you create powerful light magic, you no longer have to consume your own life. However, it is a pity that after the death of Pope Francis II at the end of the world, this artifact disappeared, and the new pope who succeeded him did not have this artifact. This artifact can guide the Church of Light to fight against Alexander. Under the pressure of King Andrew, he finally had to give up the title of pope and change his name to archbishop.
"Yes, it's that artifact." As a great lich, Nicholas also suffered from the sacred aura exuded by "The Mercy of the Gods", but it seemed completely nonchalant and did not seem to be affected by this power. Catherine has basically been reversed and turned into a human being. This kind of breath will not cause any harm to her, but will make her feel happy.
"Do you really want to give it to the next pope?" Senat asked hesitantly. He was also very conflicted now, because once the pope possesses such an artifact, he will gradually gain the power to compete with him, but Without such a great gift, how could he get those cardinals to fall firmly on his side and jointly resist the pressure of the imperial capital
"Of course." Nicholas said in a very relaxed tone: "Speaking of it, this can be considered a return to the original owner."
"But, you, with your special status, aren't you afraid..." Senat's words stopped abruptly, because he suddenly discovered that Safanas, who was probably a lich, was also bathing in the power of this artifact. Under the holy light, he was not affected at all.
"There is nothing to worry about. The artifact is dead, but the person is alive, my majesty." Nicholas explained: "What's more, my teacher is an extremely powerful being, and its power is too powerful. , so that like those gods, they can only come here through plane projection, but even so, the teacher's power is enough to suppress the voice of the God of Light on this continent. I don't think you will, Your Majesty Senat. I don’t know what happened in the imperial palace a few years ago, but that night my teacher personally took action and completely destroyed Archbishop Ibel of the Church of Light, and also destroyed another artifact of the Church of Light, the Burning Angel Staff."
Senat has known about such secrets for a long time. After a little calculation, he came to a very important conclusion. Since Nicholas's teacher can destroy Ibel holding another offensive artifact, then even if the new pope holds The mercy of the gods, a defensive artifact, will also not be his opponent. In this case, Senat has nothing to worry about. Anyway, as long as the power behind Nicholas does not intend to completely destroy the entire continent at once, they will definitely Having an agent is just like the God of Light setting up the Church of Light, and as long as he cooperates well, Senat may not be able to become the spokesperson for the power behind Nicholas in the future. Although this will definitely put some constraints on his actions, it is better than becoming A prisoner of the imperial capital. Although Senat's ambitions are great, as a human hero, even if he has endless power, it seems that in the end it can only be reflected in the enjoyment of beauty, money, etc. and as long a life as possible. He can solve the rest by himself, but to prolong his life he can only rely on the power behind Nicholas. This is also the biggest reason why Senat actively supports Nicholas and the others.
"Well, I think His Majesty Senat will have to spend more time dealing with the heavy daily affairs, so I will take my leave first." Nicholas stood up and said: "In order to avoid trouble, I will go back to Mori soon, and I will be there soon." I won’t appear in Seck City for a long time, so as not to see those cardinals, which affects the whole plan.”
"Ah, if Master Sarfanas is not here, how can I contact you? After all, it will be difficult for the whole plan to go smoothly without your help." Senat reluctantly put the mercy of the gods back, and then stood there too. He got up and said to Nicholas: "Without you in charge of Seike City, I am very worried about Victor and Ryan. If these legendary strong men come here, I..."
"Don't worry, Catherine will stay here, and she will be by your side to take charge of these affairs in the future." Nicholas said: "As Catherine, being responsible for these superficial things will have unexpected results, and I, still Continue to move into the shadows and master the powerful force."
Senat turned his attention to Catherine. Looking at the crystal clear face opposite him, his heart felt hot. Although he did not dare to make any blasphemous expressions or movements, his greedy eyes still betrayed his inner thoughts. The thought of For a long time in the future, he would be able to face such a stunning beauty every day, and Senat's heart began to stir. He decided to go to his harem to vent his anger, and then he might as well secretly select some women who were slightly similar to Catherine. , at least this can increase the pleasure he feels when venting the violence in his body,
Catherine is naturally very aware of the dirty thoughts in Senat's heart. After all, she has mastered the power of natural charm, coupled with the strength of the legendary mage, it is too simple to understand the thoughts of a mortal. She did not show any on the surface. She was dissatisfied, but she had already sentenced Senat to death in her heart. As long as there was a chance, she believed that it would be impossible for such a guy to escape her grasp. But now, Catherine must tolerate Senat just like she tolerated Fernando XIII. At least Catherine As a legendary mage now, you don’t have to worry that Senat will act out of passion like that idiot monarch.
