C156 The Invitation from the Church

Just as Atlas was troubled, a message finally freed him. Due to Qingtian's murder, the three empires had no choice but to ask the Vatican for mediation. Just like that, Qingtian received an invitation from the Holy See and stopped his southern expedition.

On this day, when the army was resting in the city, two white-robed priests suddenly came to City Lord's Mansion to pay a visit to Ashlow and Marquess. After hearing this news, Qingtian fell into deep thought. "I have nothing to do with the Church. The only possibility is that Maya has a Sacred Body. She was once selected as one of saintess's candidates. However, at this moment, she came looking for me. Humph, it seems like I have ulterior motives!"

As he thought about it, Qingtian came to the front hall and saw the two Priests. One was tall, the other was short, and the other was old and young. It was a very interesting combination, and they stood there proudly. Looking at their hateful expressions, Qingtian decided to treat the two of them first.

"I wonder what the two masters have come here for. It is currently wartime. It's not safe outside. Are you two here to treat the illness and save people? Then you came here in the wrong place, the person who fell into my hands... Up until now, there hasn't been anyone left alive!" Qingtian deliberately increased the volume of his voice, scaring the young priest so much that he hurriedly lowered his head. Hiding behind the old man.

"Eh? Why did you come out and do it when you're so shy?!" Tian Qingtian's classic line from his previous life's movie made him hide behind the old man even more tightly, not daring to show his face again.

"Marquess is really amazing. He scared the child with just a few words. He really does look like a murderous devil! " The old priest spoke bluntly, full of the smell of gunpowder.

"Yo! Old man, why aren't you satisfied? If you have the ability, revive those dead people for me! But I guarantee that I will let them die again, but I don't think you have the ability. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been sent here to deliver a letter." Young Master Yang had a sharp tongue. What he had just said was already the limit of the old priest. As an old man who had dedicated his life to the Light Vatican, how could he be a match for Qing Tian?

"You, you!" The old man was clearly angered to the point of being unable to speak. He glared at Tian Qingtian, unable to speak.

"What are you talking about? If you have anything to say, just say it. Yours Truly doesn't have time to waste on you guys. The entire continent is waiting for me to conquer it!" Qingtian had a completely shameless appearance. Even the guards beside him could not make heads or tails of what was happening.

"Alright, Marquess. We are here under the orders of the Pope to invite you to the Holy Church. We have important matters to discuss." The old man very simply explained the reason for his visit.

"Ah, so that's how it is. But I am very busy right now. It doesn't seem like I have that long to visit the Holy Church. Go back and tell the Pope that once I'm done with this part, I'll personally pay him a visit. Someone, bring a hundred thousand gold coins and treat it as my contribution to the construction of the Church. Give another fifty thousand to this master and treat it as a tiring journey!" Qingtian said to his subordinate.

Bribery, this was an undisguised bribery! No matter how well the old man cultivated, he would not be able to withstand Qingtian's sarcasm. He gritted his teeth and said, "We appreciate Marquess's good intentions, but Pope's invitation is a great honor. Are you going to reject it just like that?"

"Hmph! Old man, how dare you use the Pope to pressure me? Even if the God of Light comes, I will still not give you face!" Back then, Maya had paid the price of her life for those two drops of "Angel's Tear." This made Qingtian very unhappy. Didn't they say that the God of Light was compassionate? Why did he use her life to exchange for saving him? !

As he thought about it, Atlas said to him, "There's no rule on the continent that says that the Pope must go, right? Could it be that Light Vatican also has a policy of power? "

Atlas's words almost made the old man angry. "What is this bastard thinking? How could Pope value such a person so much? Before coming here, he had repeatedly instructed Pope to invite him back. Thinking about how as a cardinal, I am respected wherever I go. But now, I have to lower myself in front of this kid." He paused for a moment and said, "Marquess, Pope's purpose this time is to mediate the conflict between you and the three empires. Due to your previous actions, you have killed too many innocent people. So His Majesty wants to talk to you and hope that you will stop. Don't do any more murders. "

" Oh? Master, it's not right for the Pope to say that. When they invaded me, how did they come out to mediate? Now that we have the advantage, he came out? Besides, I killed the invaders who trampled on other people's territory. But His Majesty said that I killed innocents indiscriminately. Could it be that he took advantage of them? Otherwise, why would he stand on the other side?" With Qingtian's eloquent words, he could dominate the entire continent. " Hmph! Let's see how long you can endure this! "

"You, you dare insult Pope? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the God of Light?!" The old man finally couldn't hold it in anymore. His entire body trembled as he pointed at the sky and shouted.

"Haha, I finally can't hold it in anymore. Punish me? Why didn't you say 'I'll destroy you on behalf of the light!'? Ah, no, at his age, he can only be considered an old man. If you want to play hardball with me, watch me play you to death!" As he thought about it, Qingtian still had that smiling expression on his face." Don't be angry, old man. I'm just stating facts. He had never doubted Pope's character. Besides, this is the truth. Why didn't you come out when we were beaten? Now that we have won, why did you come out to stop us? Are you trying to make things difficult for us, Art?"

Seeing that Atlas's tone had softened, the old man was no longer as agitated. "This kid is still incurable." Thus he said: "The Church's objective is not to interfere in the conflicts between the various countries on the continent, but your recent actions are really hard to accept. Killing close to 700,000 people, even though they are all soldiers... But this number is rarely seen in the history of the continent, and it was all your doing. So His Majesty wants you to discuss whether or not you can stop this ruthless massacre. " The old man's meaning is very clear: our Church is not biased, I can't control your war. But killing so many people is not right.

Hearing his words, Atlas felt more confident, so he said very casually, "Oh, I understand what His Majesty means. It's just that he thinks I killed too many people. That's good. I'll change. However, from that day onwards, we didn't encounter any obstructions. When the defending troops saw us, they immediately ran away. We didn't have the chance to fight them. To be honest, I haven't killed anyone in a long time."

Atlas's words once again caused the old man to suffocate. "It's been a long time since I've killed anyone? Are you addicted to it? " However, seeing that his tone was relaxed, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "That's right. You are doing very well now. Too many murders will pollute your soul. The days in the future will be restless. "

"Ha! I will feel uneasy? You old brat, you must be joking! Those vengeful spirits dare to come and find me? I, Yours Truly, shall use my magic treasure to refine them!" As he thought of this, Qingtian felt that continuing to talk to them would only be a waste of time. Thus, he said to them, "I understand what Your Majesty means. I'll pay attention to it in the future. Try not to kill if you can. Then I will trouble you to convey my meaning to Pope. Alright, I think you guys should hurry back to report. Then hurry up and leave. I originally wanted to keep you guys for dinner, but seeing how you pity the world, you will definitely rush back to the Church to report back. That's all. Men, send them off!" As he spoke, he did not wait for the two of them to respond. He directly walked towards the back.

The guard beside him forcefully held back his laughter and walked over to say: "Respected reverends, please return." Saying so, he waved his hand, indicating that the two of you can leave.

Atlas's sudden departure made the two of them at a loss. They were stunned on the spot. "Ashlow, I haven't finished speaking!"
