Du Wei looked at this Lord Beast with full expectation, his heart was beating fast at this moment.
"I don't know very well." These words from QQ undoubtedly made Du Wei's adrenaline secretion suddenly intensified! Those who know are "not very clear", so it means that they know at least a little bit? It's okay to know a little bit!
Probably Du Wei's eyes were too hot, which made QQ shrank his head in a weird way, "Well... I think you probably know that in legends, gods have the spell of prophecy. Of course, there are also legends that prophecy is not from gods. Specialized skills. As long as your strength and spells reach a certain level, such as reaching the level close to the gods, you can also predict future people and things.
In particular, when the goddess descended on the miracle, there was a record of "prophecy" on the stone full of divine spells... But it is a pity that I think these divine spells taught by the gods to human beings. But they are all low-level things, really powerful and advanced. The goddess will not teach it to humans! Therefore, the prophecy was not written on that slate.
At that time, I was the head of the church. Of course, I have seen all these magical arts. I also put these spells. Secretly copied a copy and gave it to Master Aragorn.
Well, I think, maybe it's because Master Aragorn is powerful. It is close to the realm of the gods. Therefore, he probably has mastered the ability of prophecy. As a result, when we went north that time, on the sacred mountain of the Dragon Clan, he sealed me. before sealing. He said to me, "In the future, someone will open this place to wake you up, and that person will inherit everything from me. He will also take good care of you. You should also help him a lot."
After that, the master used magic to put me into a deep sleep. And he. I know. He should have crossed the sacred mountain and continued to walk north.
However, at that time I was already asleep. So after that, I don't know anything about it. "Du Wei's face is not pretty.
Divination
Damn divination! Du Wei didn't believe it was that simple!
There is actually "Hello Du Wei" written in Chinese characters on the sole of the foot of the little Lufik in Nanyang. Can this kind of weird thing be explained by a simple "prophecy"
It seemed that every time I took a step, the lingering shadow of Aragorn always enveloped me. As if every step I took. They are all faintly involved in the calculations of Aragorn thousands of years ago!
This is definitely not something that can be explained simply by "prophecy"! Even if Aragon has the ability to predict things after a thousand years. But it doesn't make sense to even know so many details clearly!
"So... what about Nanyang?" Du Wei sighed: "About Nanyang. How much do you know? Aragon actually left a message for me on the bottom of that Nanyang kid..."
"I don't know." QQ shook his head: "I don't know anything about Nanyang. Maybe. The master went to Nanyang after I fell asleep. Hmm. It must be like this. After I fell asleep, he went to Dragon Clan first. North of Shenshan. Then went to Nanyang? Well, it must be like this."
look. This QQ seems to have said everything it knows.
But Du Wei looked at this guy carefully, and still couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This bird is not so honest! Judging from its consistent performance, it always hides many secrets.
"QQ." Du Wei sighed, trying to make his tone as sincere as possible, since he couldn't be tough, he could only be soft: "I said... since Aragorn left you to me, and asked you to help me a lot Me. Then, I think you should be open and honest. You see, these things, you didn’t tell me before, but you kept it from me! Now, I think... you should tell me everything you know , In this way, maybe it can help me more. You can stop hiding anything, okay?"
After hearing Du Wei's words, QQ suddenly called out to Qu: "Oh, Master Du Wei, I really have nothing to hide from you... I can swear, I swear to the Goddess of Light!"
Du Wei scolded angrily: "Go to hell! Don't you believe in the goddess of light at all? You swear to the goddess, only ghosts will believe you."
He was even more certain in his heart that this hateful bird must have something to hide from him.
Du Wei was very angry, but there was nothing he could do with the bird. Finally, seeing Du Wei's sullen expression, QQ relaxed a little, and said: "Dear Master Du Wei, there are many things that are useless to say now. More things, only when you have It will be good for you if you say it after you have a strong strength, if you say it too early, it may not be a good thing."
Du Wei rolled his eyes: "Humph, that sounds good! Why are you willing to tell me these things today?"
"Because I think today is a very good time." QQ suddenly stopped joking, and its tone was very serious.
"opportunity?"
"Yes." QQ said very seriously: "Dear Master Du Wei. I think the acquaintance of you, Bishop Maximus, is a very good opportunity: a chance to reach out to the church! Remember me and What are you talking about, Master Aragorn's plan to "usurp the gods" back then? Since you are the heir of the master, then, we might as well continue with this plan to usurp the gods."
"Go to hell." Du Wei sneered indifferently: "I'm full to support the ground? Well, why should I take the initiative to go to the temple to trouble? I am my Duke in the northwest, I don't know how happy I am !"
QQ is not angry, just smiled lightly: "This is not right. My master. The relationship between you and the temple will always have a break. Look... don't say anything else. Just say you are now, I don't know if there is any How many taboo things in the temple, such as... Hussein? For example, Her Majesty Queen Medusa? Look. These things can be concealed for a while. It may not be possible to hide them for a lifetime. If there is a day when the temple finds out... "
"Then let's talk about it when that day comes!" Du Wei still shook his head: "I just want to live my life freely. Overthrowing the temple? I have no interest in such a great cause. And... don't talk to me again What the hell is Aragorn's mission inherited! I have no interest in this! Aragorn's mission, I am not interested in inheriting it! A guy who has been dead for a thousand years. What does it have to do with me!"
"It seems that you want to hide... But can you hide?" QQ laughed: "Master Du Wei, think about it, Bishop Maximus boarded your boat, and you helped him drive away the pursuers." People. It is tantamount to offending the Yeni faction in the temple! And... the daughter of the eldest prince. Your Highness the saint in the temple has always had trouble with you. If you don’t mess with them, wouldn’t they come to mess with you? what
You will have dinner with Bishop Maximus tonight. When the time comes..." Du Wei was silent for a while: "I really can't avoid the temple. But let me tell you, I may deal with the temple, and I may do something... But, I will not participate in your plan to usurp the gods! In my opinion, the temple is just the same existence as the magic union, which can be used and traded. But I definitely don't want to set up such a big enemy! so. I might make a deal with Bishop Maximus. But — overthrow the temple? Hum, such a great cause. I'm not interested! "
After speaking, Du Wei left QQ alone, turned and walked out of the room.
Looking at Du Wei's back. QQ sighed, then smiled and said to himself: "Look, I'm right. There are many things, even if I tell you now, it's useless. You have to wait for the day when you can't avoid it before you can accept it." .Now tell you, you are not willing to take responsibility. Um... Do you think it is easy to deal with the temple? My master... The temple is a quagmire. You put one foot in it, and then try to pull it out, but it is difficult. Already!"
Du Wei's boat drove all the way downstream. In the evening, it passed the last bend in the river. After passing through the bend, it was only a few days away from the imperial capital. Afterwards, the river gradually became wider and flatter, and there were more and more boats on the river.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much the temple wanted to send someone to assassinate them, there was no chance in broad daylight and with so many boats on the river.
In the evening, Du Wei invited the bishop to have dinner together. However, Du Wei was slightly surprised that during the dinner, only Maximus attended the dinner, and neither Archdeacon Ramsay nor Rhine came.
"Ramus is a little seasick, resting in his room. Rhine...he doesn't understand etiquette, I don't think you need to let him participate in the Duke's dinner." Maximus changed into a clean robe, although it was still Old robes, but cleanly starched. He should have taken a shower in the room in the afternoon, and his hair was standing on end.
From the looks of it, he looked like a neat and simple old priest who paid attention to his appearance.
Du Wei knew that the bishop probably had something to discuss with him, even if there was no one around him.
Immediately, the two sat down, and Du Wei sent someone to serve delicious food and wine, mainly some Northwest-style delicacies. After the two started chatting for a while, Maximus directly cut to the point.
"Master Duke, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude for your help today. Please allow me to toast you." His Excellency the Bishop raised his glass.
After the two had a drink, Maximos put down his glass and continued: "It's just that I'm worried... What happened to you today has already ruined Yeni's plan to kill me. Yeni has always acted in the same way They are all resolute and cruel, and you must take revenge. You offended them for me today, I think... "
Hmph, here comes the drama. Du Wei sneered in his heart, but smiled 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 sects , you can’t cover the sky with one hand, right?”
"That's what you say." Maximus sighed: "But now it seems that the Yeni sect has indeed overwhelmed our Mossah sect. After all, their teachings are more in line with the appetite of most people. And we … Advocating thrift and penance, in this world, there are not many people who are willing to save penance. Most people think that the Yeni sect’s idea of expanding the church’s influence and power is more in line with their appetite. Of course, the Yeni sect has not yet If you are in power, you may not dare to openly retaliate against the Duke of the Empire like you, but once they get it... "
"Pope succession?" Du Wei smiled slightly.
"Yes." Maximus sighed: "If you let Yenis become the Pope, then..."
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, and then said with a sincere look: "Speaking of which, these troubles are all because of me, if I hadn't boarded your boat, then you wouldn't have been involved either. "
Du Wei waved his hand and said lightly: "It's meaningless to say these things now, my lord bishop. Let me say something frankly. I didn't completely save you for what happened today. If anyone is on my boat, I will protect it! After all, with my identity, if word spreads and someone comes to my boat and kills my guests, I, Duke Tulip, dare not speak, but shrink back in fear, how can I mess around in the future?"
Although his words were a little rude, the truth was tenable. Maximus nodded, and said softly: "Well, the Duke is telling the truth, but you were the one who saved me after all. This cannot be erased. No matter what, when I return to the Imperial Palace, I will definitely deal with it, As long as I am still in the temple, I will absolutely not allow these guys to take revenge on you."
This can be said to be wonderful. Du Wei sighed secretly in his heart, how can these people who are born as masters always talk about things that are obviously a naked exchange of interests, so high-sounding
"As long as I'm still in the temple, I won't allow them to retaliate against you" sounds nice, but the meaning is very clear: If you want them not to retaliate against you, you must ensure that I am still in power in the temple! Only my power in the temple can ensure that they dare not retaliate against you.
It's that simple.
Du Wei understood that this was a test of his own words, and if he accepted it, the next step would be for the two parties to negotiate terms.
Thinking of this, Du Wei picked up his wine glass, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Master Bishop, I don't know, why are they in such a hurry to assassinate you on the way back to the imperial capital this time? Could it be... His Majesty the Pope..."
Even if I want to bet, I still have to see if you are worth my investment. Du Wei smiled, as if humans and animals were harmless.
