C161 What Can You Give Me
So this old man was the Pope! Qingtian really felt that this was the biggest failure of his life. How could he forget about something valuable the moment he saw it? When did he become so greedy?
"Ah, teach, Pope? That, the weather today is not bad! Such a coincidence? Pope came here to take a look. " Qingtian stammered as he looked at the old man in front of him. He really didn't know what to say.
" Haha, young man, why don't you continue to share with me? Looks like you aren't someone who believes in the God of Light, but you can't do such blasphemy against the God either. " The Pope didn't seem very angry, but his expression wasn't that good either.
"It's a joke, a pure joke. It was inevitable to be nervous when meeting for the first time, in order to ease the awkward atmosphere, I said that on purpose. Your Majesty, you have to understand my good intentions." Qingtian continued to talk about him as if he hadn't said anything just now.
"Alright, child. God will forgive you. Because he is merciful." The Pope did not care about what happened just now. "Alright, Ashlow, I think I am about the same age as your grandfather, Pocot. So I called you by your name."
"It's an honor." Atlas knew why the Pope had come to find him today. Compared to what he had done before, the sale of the sculpture earlier was just child's play.
"Alright, perhaps Landry had already told me the reason I came to find you, but I still want to talk to you in detail." The Pope seemed to have forgotten about the matter earlier and had already returned to the main topic.
"Okay, actually I am still a very easy person to talk to. Don't worry. If you have anything to say, just say it. Since your boss came all the way here to find me, if there's anything, I'll do my best." Because of his guilty conscience, Qingtian's attitude was surprisingly good.
"Although the news came very late, we were still very shocked when we received it. In the history of the continent, although wars often happen, you are still the first person to be able to kill 700,000 people in such a short period of time. I want to know if this is true. " The Pope was clearly much calmer than Landry. First, he had to confirm whether his actions were true or not.
"Mm, you're right. First, it's the 200,000 troops of Menes. Then it was the close to 500,000 troops from the allied army, adding up to about 700,000 troops. It doesn't matter if you say I am cruel or heartless. This is the truth. I have nothing to say, but I don't seem to have violated any rules of the Light Vatican. It seems like the Church doesn't care about me, right?" Qingtian was full of confidence. The world is big, and I am the greatest. No one can interfere with what I have done.
"Hehe, you're right. The Church really doesn't have any rules that can interfere with the internal affairs of every country. We are believers of the God of Light, and we oppose war. But never interfere with this kind of thing. Especially now that it is wartime, it is normal for there to be dead people. The problem is that you've killed too many people, and most of them were killed after surrendering." The difference was that it was different. The same meaning came out of the Pope's mouth. It was much better to hear it from the mouth of Randall. Hearing the Pope's words, Atlas thought.
"Yes, after those prisoners were captured, I didn't let any of them go!"
"Why? Don't you think that slaughtering these unarmed people will make you evil?" The old man has been the Pope for so long, there is nothing he has never seen before. But looking at the handsome young man in front of him, he could not believe that this shocking blood case was caused by him.
"Sin? Your Majesty, you are high and mighty every day, and wherever you go, you will always be surrounded by people. Of course, you don't experience the cruelty of war. In war, people will always die." Atlas was very calm, as if it was normal to kill these people.
"But those who die in your hands are the captives who have surrendered. You have already won. Can't we let them go according to the rules of the Period of Victory? After all, every life is precious. " The Pope still insisted on his view and did not budge an inch.
"Of course, I've told my subordinates before. He may have become your captive today, but tomorrow you will die under his blade and spear. For the sake of money, I would rather die as the Demon King of Killers. Besides, there's one more thing that's the main reason why I'm doing this." Although he did not want to say it, he had no choice but to tell him about Maya.
"This?" The old man had never experienced war, so he naturally couldn't imagine the result that Qingtian had said. He was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Although I'm very sad, there's something I have to say." Tian Qingtian adjusted his emotions and told the old man about Randolph's rebellion. When he finally talked about Maya, Qingtian couldn't help but shed tears. "Think about it, a sister who grew up with you. A wife who can live with you for the rest of your life in three days, a naive and kind girl. She sacrificed her life to save me just like that. I once swore that I would make the three empires pay with blood! I would let them know that what I said was stupid. I would use my hands to make them pay for their mistakes!" The more Qingtian spoke, the more ruthless he became. His face was somewhat hideous, and he hated the three empires to the core.
"So, you chose this method to take revenge on them?" Hearing Qingtian's words, the Pope was also very sad. But he did not acknowledge Atlas's actions.
"I know these soldiers are just a small part of the country's machine, they have no right to make a choice. They are just the sacrifices of those in power. However, what I did was just a warning, their nightmares will come true in the future " Atlas had ten thousand ways to make them admit their mistakes. Right now, he was just making them regret what they had done.
"A girl actually made you have such deep hatred. But I can understand your actions. I don't care how you take revenge on the three empires, but please don't kill innocent soldiers on the battlefield in the future. They are just puppets under the superior, so you should go and find those people who are plotting behind the scenes." Seeing Sky High's insistence, the Pope could only make concessions.
"Your Majesty, actually, I am already sick of this kind of thing. That's why I wanted to stop for a long time. Your arrival only gave me a way out. I can promise you this. I will use other methods to make them regret it. But you also know that there is no free dinner in the world, you have to pay the price for everything you do. You can't possibly rely on the influence of the Pope to make me and my country stop the crusade, right? Wouldn't that be very powerful? You should at least give something, right?" The main show had begun. After a long time, Qingtian finally got to the main topic.
"Well, although most of them live in such an environment... I still know the ways of the world. So if you have anything to say, just say it. The three empires have already prepared compensation for your actions " The Pope saw that Atlas's tone had relaxed, so he stated the conditions of the Three Great Empires.
"I don't care about these things. Anyway, they don't belong to me. It's just that right now, Pope. I just want to know what you can bring me. "
