Uto Mountain.
It is the most prestigious mountain in the business district, and even the entire outer wall area. This is the headquarters of the Holy See of Light, also known as the Holy Mountain of Light.
The mountain is 580 meters high, with steep cliffs and jagged mountains, covered with brilliant snow-white sunflowers. When the black snow falls, the flowers bloom more and more beautifully. The thick black snow can not freeze these delicate flowers to death. On the contrary, it will make it bloom more brilliantly and beautifully, so it gets a name, sun flower.
Sunflower's unyielding and tenacious qualities were appreciated by the first pope, and he designated it as the holy flower of the Holy See of Light, engraved on the back of each holy emblem, symbolizing the will to pursue light.
As a result, sunflowers have risen, and they cannot be spoiled and planted at will. Once the flowers are damaged, the growers will be punished with a felony. Over time, no one dares to plant sunflowers, let alone touch them, and can only look up from a distance.
On the top of Mount Uto, on the steps of St. Mark's Square, an old figure sits quietly here, wearing a luxurious robe studded with jewels, holding a scepter with a big snow-white jewel in his fist, silently looking into the distance.
"Bois!"
"Bois!"
In the vast and silent square, there was suddenly an anxious woman's shout.
The old man turned his head slowly and saw an eight or nine-year-old boy coming angrily with a wooden sword in his hand, chasing after him a graceful woman in a nun's robe, with an anxious face shouted.
"Grandpa Pope, I want to duel with you!" The little boy quickly rushed to the old man in an instant, looked down at the old man sitting on the steps, and said with an angry face.
"Boys!" The nun behind ran up, grabbed him, and bent over hurriedly to the old man, "My lord, it's my lax discipline that disturbed you. I'll take Boys back immediately." After finishing speaking, He tugged on the little boy's hand vigorously, but it seemed that there was a huge difference in strength, and he couldn't pull the little boy at all.
The Pope smiled faintly, raised his hand to stop her, and said to the little boy, "Are you looking for a duel?"
"That's right!" Boyce said angrily.
"My lord pope, he's just joking, don't take it to heart." The nun hurriedly said to Bois, "You are too rude, hurry up and apologize to Grandpa Pope, do you know what you are doing!"
The Pope was very interested and asked the little boy, "Why do you want to fight?"
"Because I'm angry!"
The reason seemed plausible, especially from a young boy.
"Boys!" The nun hurriedly tugged him in fright, "How can you talk such nonsense to the Pope, please apologize..."
The Pope raised his hand slightly, stopped her words, smiled lightly, and said, "Everything you say is angry, and everything you hold back is curses. I still like to listen to angry words. Don't stop me, Boyce." , you said, why are you angry?"
When the nun heard this, she smiled wryly and could only let go and step aside, and kept winking at the little boy, but the latter ignored her at all.
Boyce said angrily: "Grandfather Pope, you said that after I pass the test of the evangelical instructor, I can go down the mountain to play. Why does my word not count? I want to fight with you. The evangelical instructor said that if I beat others, I can go down the mountain to play." Let others listen to me, hum, I will defeat you!"
When the nun at the side heard this, she almost fainted from fright, her face was pale, and her whole body was trembling.
The Pope smiled lightly, without being angry at all, and said: "What I said has never been counted. Do you still remember what I said at the beginning, what I said was'Whenever you can defeat the Gospel instructor head-on, you will allow You go down the mountain', as far as I know, you are playing tricks this time, tricking the Gospel instructor into taking your diarrhea medicine, and then defeating him? This kind of method is not open and aboveboard!" At the end, Wei Wei said sternly There is no face, but the corners of the eyes are still smiling, so naturally there is no majesty.
Boyce shrank his neck when he heard the words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly raised his head and said, "I didn't use diarrhea medicine, I defeated him by strength, hmph!"
"You will be the most outstanding knight of light in the future, but don't learn to lie." The Pope said seriously.
Boyce felt his solemnity, and his laughter gradually faded away, but at a young age, he had already put face above everything else, and he would never bow his head just like that. He still held his head stubbornly and said: "I didn't lie, and I don’t bother to lie, hum, what I gave him is stomach pain medicine, not diarrhea medicine!” Having said that, he muttered in a low voice, “With his body, taking some diarrhea medicine can’t make his stomach hurt…”
The Pope couldn't help being dumbfounded, shook his head and smiled, and said, "No matter what, you have to defeat him openly, you know?"
Bois pouted and said, "Grandpa Pope, everyone else can go down the mountain, why can't I, you're not fair!"
The Pope gently touched his head, and said lovingly: "Silly boy, you are different from others. In the future, you will become the most powerful person in the Holy See of Light, and you will also become the strongest person in the entire outer wall area!"
Boyce pouted and said, "By then, I'd be bored to death."
The pope laughed dumbfoundedly.
Seeing that the Pope was not angry, the nun next to him was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to say, "My lord Pope, Boyce is ignorant, please forgive him for his rude mischief this time..."
The Pope smiled slightly, pressed Boyce's shoulder, and said, "Children only get angry. You have to grow up quickly, you know?"
Boyce saw that he was serious and seemed to make some sense. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I will grow up as soon as possible, hehe, then I will whip the gospel instructor every day and make him beg for mercy every day, hehe snort!"
The Pope couldn't help laughing, as if he had already imagined the scene in his brain, and secretly observed a second of silence for the Gospel.
"Grandfather Pope, why do you always sit here?" Bois suddenly asked curiously.
With a smile on his face, the Pope turned his head to look at the vast St. Mark's Square in front of him. At the end of the square, a wider area appeared, with countless buildings scattered all over the ground. He said softly: "The scenery here is the best."

Hawkeye was pacing back and forth on the balcony of the manor, and suddenly saw a figure walking silently on the street, it was Du Dian.
His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly jumped out of the balcony to meet him. As soon as he came to Du Dian, he complained: "My lord, you are finally back. Something just happened. One of our branches was swallowed up by the eighth district..." Without a word After speaking, he stopped.
Because Du Dian raised his hand.
This action is to make him shut up.
Du Dian was expressionless, without saying a word, walked into the manor, followed the passage to the underground headquarters, passed by a woman looking around, and almost bumped into him. After seeing Du Dian's face, he immediately apologized in a hurry.
Hawkeye stared and scolded: "You bastard, you don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Du Dian has gone away and returned to his office.
"My lord, you are back." Noyce saw Du Dian and immediately stood up respectfully.
Hawkeye followed from behind and closed the door gently. Just as he was about to continue reporting, Du Dian spoke first, with an extremely cold voice, "From now on, the affairs of the Ninth District will be up to you and the fourteen MPs are in charge and vote to decide."
Hawkeye froze.
"Prepare me an alchemy room." Du Dian sat on a chair, put the ashes aside, picked up the pencil in the pen holder and quickly wrote down a series of materials, saying: "From now on, without my permission, no one will Excuse me, you know?"
Hawkeye was startled, a little dazed, and said, "My lord, what are you?"
"Didn't understand?"
"Listen, I understand." Hawkeye was a little puzzled, and said: "It's just that the elders and congressmen have always decided on the big and small things in our Ninth District. Didn't you say that you want our Ninth District In half a year, will it become the fifth largest district? If you don't care about anything when you first take office, the people below are afraid... "
"Whoever has an opinion, let him come to me in person." Du Dian said indifferently: "As for the previous promise, it will not change. After half a year, the ninth district will become the top five districts. You don't need to worry about this."
Hawkeye felt a little confused about Du Dian, and said, "My lord, the eighth district this time..."
"I said, you can deal with all the things, plus you have a total of fifteen people, and the voting will not become a deadlock." Around Du Dian's arm, the original snow-white paper was filled with dense words in an instant. He picked it up and handed it to the eagle. Eye, said: "Go prepare these materials and send them to my alchemy room. Remember, the top alchemy room is required."
Hawkeye quickly caught it, glanced quickly, and found that most of them were metal materials, as well as colloidal materials, and they were all raw materials. He couldn't help wondering what Du Dian was going to make, but this incident at least let him know A piece of information, this master used to be an alchemist!
Noyce stood aside. He followed Du Dian for a long time. When Du Dian just came back, he realized that his situation was wrong. Seeing that Du Dian was about to refine something, he couldn't help but think of the super shark spear and turret that Du Dian had made, as well as Those two legendary magic arts that spread throughout the outer wall area, couldn't help but shudder!
