The second person who traveled through time and space and became a pig
Chapter 192 Decision
"Is there no other way? This is really unacceptable," Torresnia said with a bow.
"Hahaha... If we could really come up with a solution, then why would our Radiant Temple fall to this point! For decades, I have never stopped working hard, constantly trying various methods to get out of this predicament, but I have never succeeded. However, at this moment, I finally see a ray of hope - an opportunity to break the deadlock, revitalize the Radiant Temple, and return to its peak!
How can I give up such an opportunity? I have accepted this! As long as it is within the scope of the city under his control, he can make the decision on all the branch hall masters and deputy hall masters. "
The Pope smiled faintly and turned to look at Torresnia and said.
"Your Majesty, there is one important matter that I have not reported to you yet! Nowadays, the power controlled by Mr. Zhu Laoba is already quite huge.
First, Holy Light City and New City fell into his hands. In addition, even Spring City, located in the south of New City, was captured.
Not only that, his newly built Beast God City was also included in the territory. So far, four cities belonged to him. Although these cities were all located in the north, their prosperity should not be underestimated. Especially Spring City and New City, the prosperity was eye-catching, and the population exceeded hundreds of thousands. The total population of these four territories added up to tens of millions! ".
Torresnia explained with great pride.
"What? It's only been such a short time and he has occupied another city. What happened to the emperor of the Longwei Empire? Why did he just turn a blind eye to anything?" the Pope said in disbelief.
"According to the information I received, it's not that Emperor Longwei turned a blind eye, but that all the people he sent were defeated by Zhu Laoba. I heard that a sixth-level magician was defeated by Zhu Laoba."
Such explosive news reached the Pope's ears. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Torreschia in disbelief.
"Is this news true?" the Pope asked after calming down.
"That battle was earth-shattering. The person I want to see is the Ninth Elder of the Magicians' Guild. Many people saw it, so it must be true."
Torresnia replied.
"Well, judging from the current situation, we must speed up the implementation of our plan. After you return this time, you should decisively agree to the conditions proposed by Zhu Laoba, and lead the relevant personnel to quickly go to various places to take action and start building your own branch of the Temple of Light. At the same time, you should carefully select a group of smart and capable subordinates to send over and go all out to prepare for the construction of the Temple of Light.
As a leader, you may not need to have extraordinary personal abilities, but at critical moments, accurate judgment and decision-making of the overall situation are crucial. At present, the Longwei Empire is in a weak state, with internal and external troubles coming one after another. We must plan ahead and be prepared in advance.
This is undoubtedly a thrilling gamble! If we bet on the right thing, the Temple of Light will be reborn and flourish; however, if we lose, the consequences will be disastrous and we may fall into an abyss of no return. Therefore, every step must be taken with caution to ensure that there is no risk of error.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will raise the funds right away. However, building a branch temple is extremely expensive, and this time we need to build 4 to 5 branch temples in a row. I don't know if the current Temple of Light can afford such a huge expense."
Torresnia said politely.
"Haha, don't worry about that. After we give out a part, Pig Old Eight will pay for the rest. Besides, if he really wants to be the hall master, he can't be stingy. After all, there is no free lunch in the world. If he wants to enjoy the benefits brought by this power, he must pay a certain price for it."
The Pope smiled and looked determined, as if he was confident in his own judgment. He knew that as a superior, he had full control over such matters. In his opinion, Zhu Lao Ba would definitely agree.
"Well... well! Now that things have come to this, I can only try to talk to him first. But in my opinion, the possibility of success is probably not high. You don't know that this old pig is notoriously greedy. Although he still has some bottom line, it is probably harder than climbing to the sky to make him suffer a big loss."
Torresnia secretly groaned in his heart. At this moment, he finally understood everything - the two people in front of him were not good people. They were full of evil and conspiracy.
"Oh, it's okay. As long as we set up a branch first, we will have income. With income, subsequent things will naturally be much easier. However, there is another important thing that needs to be put on the agenda. Perhaps I may no longer be able to stay in the capital of the Longwei Empire. If circumstances permit, I will consider moving to other places." The Pope said so shockingly.
"Your Highness, you must not do this! This is the capital of the empire! Once we leave this place, we will be completely marginalized!"
Nadal was extremely worried and risked his life to give advice again. Although he was a little narrow-minded sometimes, at this moment, what he said was entirely out of concern and consideration for the future development of the Temple of Light. In the face of Nadal's outspokenness, Torresnia and the Pope did not blame him too much.
"You are too narrow-minded and short-sighted! The capital was chosen by the emperor at the beginning of the founding of the country. If Shengguang City is established as the capital, then it will naturally become the new capital. Think about it from another perspective. Whether a city can prosper and develop has nothing to do with whether it is designated as the capital. Why should we be obsessed with the success or failure in front of us? Perhaps one day in the future, the entire Longwei Empire will belong to our Temple of Light, and then other forces will have to bow down to us!"
The Pope unexpectedly took the initiative to explain with a smile on his face.
Nadal's eyes flashed with surprise and confusion after hearing this. He originally thought that he was the only one who had a clear understanding of the current situation, but he did not expect that the Pope could also see through the mystery at a glance.
Now is a time of turmoil, and the world is unpredictable. No one can be sure whether the next imperial city will be located in this Longwei City.
At this moment, Nadal's eyes changed subtly when he looked at the Pope. He realized that this usually amiable Pope had analyzed these things so thoroughly in his heart.
The same is true for Torresnia. He also saw some trends in the future development of the situation from the Pope's words, and his eyes were brightened. Then no one can say whether Zhu Laoba will become the final ruler of the country. There is also the Orc Empire. Looking at Tian Ye's current behavior and style, he also wants to take the territory of the Orc Empire. Such a strong person really doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for the Temple of Light to cooperate with this Zhu Laoba? However, these things are not something he can control. If there is no Tian Ye, the Temple of Light will definitely continue to be depressed. Now he can only do well in the present.
"I'll leave the matter of Torresnia to you. I don't trust anyone else. After all, that pig-headed man only recognizes you! So you have to be fully responsible for handling this matter. In addition, you should bring Nadal with you to collect the money and supplies. Remember to take out all the money inside so that you can be fully prepared for your next action."
After finishing his explanation, Nadal could not help but look at the Pope again, but when he met the Pope's sharp eyes, he immediately retracted his gaze guiltily.
"Okay, I'll start preparing for this right away."
Torreschia responded readily, and then walked out of the Pope's Palace with Nadal.
As soon as he went out, Nadal couldn't wait to take out a magic bank card shining with golden light and said to Torreschia: "Mr. Demon King Torreschia, the Pope has issued an order to withdraw all the money in this magic gold card for your use."
"Ah, this time the Pope is really determined to take extraordinary measures! Although sometimes I don't completely agree with your views, what you mentioned in the hall today really makes me deeply worried. If all power is handed over to that so-called pig-headed man, can our Temple of Light still be considered a real Temple of Light in the future? Will everything be decided by the Pope?"
There was a hint of helplessness and worry in Nadal's tone, but Torreschia seemed not to hear him and continued speaking.
Maybe he did it on purpose, or maybe he really didn't notice Nadal's voice. Facing such a situation, Nadal couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, but he didn't show it, just silently thinking about how to deal with it.
After a moment of silence, Nadal took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then, she responded softly:
"Since His Holiness has made a decision, there is no need for us to dwell on this matter any further. Why don't you go to the bank over there and exchange the gold coins? This way, it will be more convenient for you to use them in the future."
Nadal saw that Torresnia did not respond, and knew that it was not appropriate to argue with Torreschia at this time, so he chose to ease the atmosphere with a casual attitude. He hoped that this way would avoid further escalation of the conflict and at the same time successfully complete the task at hand. After all, in this environment full of power and calculation, keeping a low profile and being cautious is the way to survive.
At this moment, a breeze blew past a carriage in front, and a woman's face appeared in Torreschia's eyes in the carriage.
"This is the Ninth Elder of the Magician Guild. Why is he here? He seems to be injured. Who could have injured this Ninth Elder?"
Torreskia's eyes caught sight of the Ninth Elder, and the Ninth Elder also noticed Torresnia here. The two knew each other. Although the Temple of Light had declined, in the eyes of magicians, the Temple of Light had once been glorious.
The carriage was getting closer and closer. Torreschia and Nadal were walking. After the carriage reached them, it actually stopped.
"Hello, Mr. Torresnia, I now invite you to join our Magicians Guild again. If you are willing, I can immediately agree to give you the position of elder. What do you think?" The ninth elder said, sticking his head out of the car window.
Nadal was stunned for a moment when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him. Torresnia was also shocked. This woman was so beautiful that people didn't want to look away once they saw her.
"First of all, I want to thank the Ninth Elder for his kindness. The Temple of Light has trained me, and I cannot do such an ungrateful thing and let the Ninth Elder love me wrongly." Torresnia finally calmed down and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
When Nadal heard Torresnia's words, he withdrew his gaze as if awakened from a dream and nodded slightly apologetically.
It was obvious that the Ninth Elder did not take this matter to heart - after all, she had seen this situation many times, and most men looked like this when they saw her; and she was used to it, with the exception of the pig-headed man named Zhu Laoba... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, but at the same time, the figure of the pig-headed man appeared in her mind again.
"Well, I can see that you have an extremely firm belief and loyalty to the Temple of Light. However, I need to remind you that this Longwei City may not be peaceful in the future. Therefore, you must make full preparations for the upcoming fierce battle. If unfortunately we lose the battle and the Temple of Light is destroyed, then the Magician Guild welcomes you to join us at any time. Having said that, I will not bother you any more."
The ninth elder lowered the curtain, and the coachman continued to drive the carriage forward.
"This woman is so beautiful. Who is she? Can Mr. Torresnia tell me something?" The Temple of Light has no restrictions on matters between men and women, and it is also human nature to indulge in sex.
"Haha, Mr. Nadal has been in front of His Holiness the Pope for too long, and he doesn't even recognize this woman! She is a famous beauty in the capital! She is known as one of the 'Four Beauties of the Capital', and she ranks fourth! Not only is she extremely beautiful, but even more amazing is that as the ninth elder of the Magician Guild, her magic power is probably above the sixth level. Such an outstanding woman, ordinary men simply cannot enter her sight. So, I advise Mr. Nadal to give up this idea as soon as possible. A goddess of this level is not something we can easily afford to provoke! She is surrounded by countless suitors, but it seems that no one has been able to truly impress her so far."
As Torresnia spoke, he walked forward, and Toniskia continued to introduce the Ninth Elder to Nadal in detail.
"I really don't know which lucky person will be so blessed to marry this peerless beauty. What a tremendous happiness that will be!" Nadal couldn't help but fall into reverie. The stunning face of the Ninth Elder just now kept appearing in his mind, and he was secretly amazed in his heart.
