Chapter 459: Free lunch

Erqian really lifted the closure as scheduled, and the second outer exit was reopened. However, in Burning Gang, the inspection has become much stricter than before. A large number of guards have been added to the positions of one main entrance and two side entrances, and The daily guards responsible for guarding the city of God have also increased a lot. .
The person who was arrested in the referee's office has been kept coming back for six consecutive times. Robben deliberately visited the envoy who came from Caton, and he could see that although he had taken care of the envoy in many ways, it was inevitable. , This envoy was still tortured to a certain degree. Not to mention there were many scars on his body, he seemed to be sluggish. Fortunately, there was no serious injury. Robben treated him carefully, and he couldn't live much longer. It will recover as before.
\"The Lord Duke! I took a life back this time. I really don’t know how to thank you. We have been arrested this time with many people. My situation is already the best. There are envoys from many countries. , Are already dead inside".
　　 Watching Robben heal himself, the envoy kept crying as he spoke. He didn't know whether he was grateful to Robben or was fortunate that he was not dead.
Robben was really taken aback in his heart.\"What did you say? Some national envoys have already died in the court? How is this possible? Even the gods can't act like this! They came here on behalf of various countries. Envoy, if you die here, how can the gods explain!?"
\"My lord! You may not know something about this. In fact, all our envoys here represent respect for the court, or bow to the court. Although the court has always been polite, there are some things Above, in fact, the court is very domineering. In the past, the envoy who visited was taken away by the court and died in the court! But I dare not say anything about it! So believers, especially magicians. Strength, any country has to be afraid of it!"
　　 Luo Ben sighed slightly in his heart. No matter from which point of view, the power of God Court is extremely powerful, and its dominance on this road is deeply rooted. The fact that envoys of other countries are tortured to death in prison is simply horrible.
　　 patted this. On the shoulder of the envoy, Robben said softly: "Your injury will heal soon, don't worry too much. If you have nothing to do, you should go back early. There is really nothing to stay here.
　　\"Yes! Lord Duke, when the pope approves the official document, I immediately return to Caton and explain the matter to the emperor.
　　\"Well! This is the best. What documents are you waiting for?" Robben saw the injuries on the envoy, and basically did everything he could. He was about to leave, and finally asked casually.
　　\"Is the tax rate decision. I am waiting for the Pope to approve the new tax rate."
　　\"Tax rate?" Robben was taken aback.
This envoy was a little surprised.Although the Lord Duke suddenly appeared in the country, he is said to be a hero, but since he can sit as a Duke who manages foreign affairs, he must be a little real. Why now I feel that Lord Duke doesn't even know some basic things!
I murmured in my heart, but naturally I didn’t dare to say it. The envoy cautiously replied: "Every five years, the God Court will slightly change the tax rate collected from various countries. Not long after the emperor came to the throne, after handling some things, I I came here by the emperor’s appointment. It has been several months since I was born. The Pope’s approval has not been given. I am a humble person and can only wait here forever.
　　\"We" still have to pay taxes to the court? "Roben knows that asking this question may seem a bit stupid, but Robben feels more absurd in his heart. Is it possible that the tall, magnificent temple of God City is built with money paid by various countries."
　　\"Uh" Duke, you joked, every country on our roads is like this. Every year the income of the treasury is given to the court in the form of a certain percentage
　　 Luo Ben thought it was overbearing! A religious organization, aside from controlling people's minds, actually blatantly collect taxes from other countries!
　　\"Well, let's not talk about it, you can heal your injury, if you have anything, go to the top to find me".
　　\"Thank you, Lord Duke!"
Returning from that hour, Robben felt an awkward feeling in his heart for some reason. The various behaviors of the gods were completely different from what he had imagined before. This kind of supreme spiritual leader organization includes some stubborn and extreme people. It is not surprising that in the religious system, there are some places in the religious system that must be maintained by such people, but based on the current situation, some of the deeds of the gods have greatly exceeded the scale of stubbornness. Not to mention, Robben has never heard of such things as the private disposal of envoys of other countries, or even torture to death, and the relationship between all these countries and the gods is still good.
　　 Back upstairs, Robben lay down by the window, looking at the temples of Qionglou and Yuyu outside, realizing for the first time in his heart that he might have to face such a giant.
　　\"Roben! Where did you go? I just looked for you for a long time and couldn't find you!" Luo Ben was in a trance, and a cheerful voice came from behind.
　　\"Oh! I went to see the envoy of our country below, he has been released safely
　　\"Huh? Isn't this a good thing? I think you care about him a lot. Why is your face so ugly? Is it possible that the envoy broke his arm and leg?"
　　 Robben quickly settled down, \"No, clear. But, one by one, it seems that the envoy has not returned. ※
Xiu faintly understood the meaning of Robben’s words, raised his eyebrows and said: \"This" you don’t know it, anyway, it’s useless to think about it, after all, they are wearing the hat of gods, no one can tell. What? You understand. "
　　 Robben was silent slightly, and then smiled, \"I understand."
\"Well, that’s good, some things don’t need to be too much to worry about, or they will be sent to the referee as I was before. That’s not a reasonable place, those guys." Yes, I have a business dealing with you. "
　　\"Huh? What's the matter?"
　　\"The Pope wants to see us! Quickly clean up, and Sasha and Fanny, we all have to go!"
　　 Robben was a little surprised, \"Why do you want to see us this time?"
Hugh shrugged, \"How do I know? The teacher came to inform us just now, but you are out, hurry up, Alan has gone back to change clothes, I have to go now, before I come back, you can pack up quickly ."
　　 When Hugh returned, Robben was hurriedly wearing that extremely cumbersome noble dress with the help of Sasha and Fanny. Robben was somewhat helpless. It seems that both Hugh and Allen just went back and changed into a more special gown, and simply carried a few accessories to compare themselves, but it was much more convenient."
　　 This meeting was not in the Temple of Light, but in a restaurant on the second floor of the Temple. The Pope invited Robben and Allen to lunch together.
　　 The long and large dining table, the Pope sits on the other side, and Robben and Hugh sit on this side. If Robben's eyes were not good, he wouldn't even be able to tell if the pope was sitting there.
　　 Robben is actually not used to this aristocratic dining table. I am used to the round or square dining table. Accustomed to the lively scene of everyone being together, Robben felt that this kind of table would only make people feel indifferent.
　　\"This period of time, due to something happening, there has been some turmoil in the city. I am very sorry for this, and I hope that it will not disturb you too much."
　　 This was obviously speaking to himself, Robben quickly swallowed the food and said: \"No, nothing! We had a comfortable life, but we couldn't walk around during this period, it was a little boring."
The pope chuckled, \"Now that the city of God has reopened, you can go out and breathe it out. Due to the delay of the accident some time ago, the matter of commending you has to be postponed for a while, and now we are For preparatory work, I hope you will wait patiently", rest assured. It will definitely let you go back to be a father in time. "
　　 Everyone said so, Robben was not good at urging, so he nodded in thanks.
\"Hugh! Your performance has always been very good, of course, if you exclude all the previous bad deeds, this time you and Allen have completed the task I entrusted for a long time, and I will reward you both. It was on the same day as Robben's award ceremony.
In front of the Pope, Allen appeared a little restrained.Since entering the restaurant, Hugh has not said a word, and Hugh has also become more cautious, and the tone of speech has lost the usual light and airy feeling. For the Pope, Hugh is only respectful. Claiming thanks, not much else.
　　\"Just" I hope you will be safer in the future. I know more about you. Although some things cannot be blamed on you, there are some things that can be avoided, so don't make him worse. "
　　\"Yes! Your Majesty!"
　　 Seeing the pope beat himself, Xio humbly admitted his mistake.
The pope nodded in satisfaction, with a kind smile on his face, \"All of us are watching the matter between you and Alan. This is nothing to say, and it is part of the reward for you. I will do it for you. Mainly married!"
　　 Xiu's face immediately showed ecstasy, \"Really?"
Alan has been silent and hurriedly pulled Xie, and Xio realized that he was really rude, "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, I didn't doubt your words, but "　　\" Ha ha ha, no need to explain , I understand that you and Allen have been together since childhood. This is what it should be. One more thing I want to say is that you shouldn't pay much attention to Jester's things, he will converge in the future."
　　\"Thank you for your shoes!"
Robben was watching, and he was also happy for Hugh. The Pope's meaning couldn't be more obvious. Jester seemed to have been warned by the Pope, directly or indirectly, the last time Jester looked so aggressively. I came here, but there was not much verbal confrontation with Hugh. It is probably because of this reason. Now it seems that the Pope is completely on Hugh's side.
　　Fate Boy"
\"Roben, I have entrusted Bishop Usa with full authority to handle the matter of your award ceremony. You have also had a lot of contact during this period. If you have anything, just go to him. If you have anything Needs can also be raised to him together, you are welcome.
　　"
　　 Robben quickly showed his gratitude, \"I just killed the Necromancer by luck. I am flattered to get the award. I really don't dare to expect anything else."
　　 The pope nodded, \"I understand, you still go home early, don't you?"
　　 Robben didn't say anything, it was a tacit consent.
\"Haha, good" Many people even abandon their wives and abandon their children in order to curry favor with our relationship. I still appreciate how you can do it now. In that case, about the award ceremony... , You can discuss with Usasin, if there are any cumbersome things that are unnecessary, just delete it. "
　　 Luo Ben was overjoyed. This is very good news. In this case, it might be possible to greatly advance the day of the award ceremony.
\"Here, I regret that the envoy of the Caton Empire was arrested in the court. I didn’t know this beforehand. When I learned, the envoy had been released. I hope. This One thing will not leave you with a bad opinion of us."
　　 Luo Ben felt a little disdainful, this kind of hindsight, if he said it, he still didn't say it.
However, they are the pope, and what they say is weighty. Robben replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's nothing. After all, it's not our country's envoy who was caught in. The city of God was attacked by invaders. We It should have cooperated with your actions. There are some misunderstandings in the process, which is completely normal."
　　\"Hehe, it seems that I have been worrying too much, and when I am old, I think more."
Robben's eyebrows couldn't help but jumped a few times, but no one would believe this sentence.As the spokesperson of the gods on the road, the pope does not have the saying that he is old, and it can even be said that as long as the name is given, even if it is a pig , Must also be respected.
　　 But,
Robben is a little puzzled now. The last time the Pope saw him, that is, since the first time he met him, he can almost be said to meet and walk away. After all, he is a person to accept the award, which is quite important. But this time he was invited by the Pope to the restaurant with a kind look. Although he was still aloof, Robben could still feel it to some extent. The Pope was showing his favor.
　　 Why is this?
Luo Ben's thoughts have turned a few times, but he still didn't understand.To put it bluntly, he came to accept the award this time. In fact, it has nothing to do with himself. What really matters is the name who killed the Necromancer. Luo I also understood that what God Court needs is for this award ceremony to be seen by everyone. Otherwise, you don't have to recruit yourself thousands of miles here. Caton is very big, but you are better than our God Court. , Does every country’s envoy have this advantage?
All that is required is that the envoys of various countries bring this news back to the 6th place, so that all believers in all countries will know the benevolence of the gods, knowing that the gods will not treat every contributing believer. From this point of view, the pope seems to have nothing. It is necessary to have this kind of private communication with myself, and,
　　 Seeing Hugh and Alan, who was making eye contact with each other, his face was full of joy and Alan, who was a little embarrassed, Robben felt even more strange. Hugh and Allen were common people who grew up under the care of Shenting. Even if it is a genius, Dingtian is only trained and concerned by the gods, but the Pope’s current attitude is a bit too much.
　　 Is it possible that either of Hugh and Alan is the illegitimate son of the Pope? Or both are "I don't know if the marriage of close relatives is forbidden in this world"
During the next lunch time, most of them were saying something that was not painful and did not attract Robben's attention.It was the pope who casually mentioned that the new tax rate of the Caton Empire would be approved immediately, which made Robben feel even more that the pope is I want to get closer to each other.
　　It’s not a long time, the lunch time is over, the Pope has everything to do, and Robben gets up to say goodbye.
　　\"Haha! Alan! Did you hear that? The Pope just agreed! The Pope agreed!"
　　 just not far from the Temple of Light, turned a corner, Xio yelled fiercely! Robben, who was walking ahead and wondering in his heart, was shocked.
　　 Looking back, Hugh had already hugged Allen up in his arms, laughing and spinning around the place, Allen's white priest's robe was flying in the air, and the eyes of everyone around him suddenly gathered.",
　　 Along the way, Hugh touched the big bag knocked out by Alan on his head and laughed constantly~EbookFREE.me~ The days seemed to be calm again, although the defense of God City seemed a little tight. But there is no problem with reasonable entry and exit, and the atmosphere is no longer as solemn as the previous days. Ousa will come to Robben from time to time to discuss things about the award ceremony.
　　 When Robben saw the whole process of the award ceremony he was about to accept for the first time, he almost didn't drop his chin on the ground, that thick book! Is it all about the process and precautions of the award ceremony? ?
　　 With a cold sweat, he opened the book of etiquette and rituals that Usa had brought, and Robben felt dizzy when he looked at the contents.
　　\"Well, can't this be removed?"
　　\"I'm afraid this little one won't work. In order to show respect for God when bathing in the clean water pool, this link must not be removed."
　　\"That" Afterwards, the incense process can be shortened by a little half a day"
\"Duke Robben, human survival [eternal life] on the 6th is all with endless sins. Even the purest souls have no right to face the gods directly. This step means that they confess their sins. , But it is indispensable to be willing to elute by believing in gods to achieve the integrity of the soul."
　　. , You are a cult organization!
　　Roben has been doing a tug of war with Usa verbatim at the award ceremony almost every day"
