Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Chapter 108 The Pope is here! And a reunion that I never imagined (5.4k supplements, less updated yesterday)
  While the two were whispering, Giovanni finally arrived.

After entering the reception room, Giovanni went straight to the main seat. He didn't even look at the people present. He just lazily supported his chin with his hand, leaned sideways, and casually said with contempt: "I've been waiting for a long time."

They said they would wait, but they showed a nonchalance, which made several exorcists smell a hint of hostility.

But Giovanni's momentum was really strong, and since they were asking for help, it was hard to show anything.

Classical Music adjusted his mood and said gently: "Dear Duke, I'm sorry for wasting your time, but we do have important things to discuss with you, and we guarantee that you will not be disappointed."

Hearing this, Giovanni smiled, but that smile contained indifference and dissatisfaction.

"Promise me that I won't be disappointed? But you have disappointed me many times."

"Ok?"

Classical Music was stunned.

Didn’t we just meet?

But Giovanni seemed too lazy to waste time with them and didn't explain anything. He urged: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Let me see what tricks you are going to do."

Classical music and the sword holder looked at each other, both filled with confusion.

"Uh," the sword holder took over, "It's about controlling the plague."

"Control the plague?" Giovanni nodded expressionlessly: "Then I'll listen."

This attitude is obviously completely different from what a few people imagined.

It stands to reason that it is urgent. At this time, someone is coming to put out the fire. Not only is it grateful, but it should be that they should not miss any opportunity to grab a life-saving straw. How can they look so indifferent?
  Looking at his expression, it was as if he was watching a joke.

Is such a person really worthy of being a ruler?

But they had no choice. The sword-holder said bravely: "You may not know that the plague has a lot to do with hygiene.

I noticed that the residents in the city turned a blind eye to the rats scurrying around in the corners, and no one bothered to clean up the mountains of garbage, which were the source of the plague.

If you want to prevent the situation from getting worse, you must first improve the environmental problems. "

"Yes."

Classical continued: “There is also the issue of patients.

Along the way, all infected people were gathered together without being dispersed or isolated according to the degree of illness. Not only was this not conducive to treatment, it would also allow patients to infect each other and worsen the condition. "

After saying that, they waited quietly for Giovanni's reaction.

However, Giovanni just asked without changing his expression: "Are you done?"

Classical Music said "hmm": "That's all for now."

"That's it?"

Giovanni burst into laughter.

But there was a little sullenness in that smile.

The next moment, his expression changed, and he asked sullenly: "I don't know if you overestimate your own wisdom, or underestimate mine! Do you think I can't even think of this?"

Several people were stunned, and the blind box immediately began to smooth things over: "Of course we don't underestimate you, it's just because these situations are indeed what we have seen with our own eyes, maybe"

He paused for a moment and considered, "Is it because your response measures were not implemented well at the bottom?"

Giovanni sneered: "If you had come a day earlier, you might have seen the scene you hoped for, but now haha, we no longer need these useless responses."

"Useless?" Classic Music was anxious: "How can this be useless? This is the most basic public health issue!"

In his opinion, Giovanni was a complete fool, with high self-esteem, headstrong, not only ignorant, but also arrogant.

"I don't care what the problem is, it's no longer needed now."

Giovanni stood up and waved to several people impatiently: "Now, go back to the Vatican and tell the Pope that you can't use this clumsy overture to make Florence willing to become his trash can."

"Vatican Pope?"

Hong Chuang realized something and quickly explained: "We are not coming from the Vatican."

But of course Giovanni wouldn't believe it.

But just when Giovanni was about to ask someone to drive them away after a few perfunctory words, he thought that Jiang Lu seemed to be of the same race as them, so he asked tentatively: "Do you know the God of Redemption? "

The God of Redemption, the God of Redemption, who knows what the God of Redemption is.

Classical music immediately shook his head: "We do not believe in any sect or any god."

"Oh." Giovanni nodded thoughtfully: "In that case, it doesn't matter whether you are an emissary from the Vatican or not. Even if you are from Jerusalem, it has nothing to do with me. Now, leave my city!"

Several people froze in place.

This was completely different from what they imagined being treated as honored guests. It could even be said to be completely contrary.

They looked at each other and made eye contact, as if asking each other whether to do something.

But Classical Music quietly shook his head calmly.

He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and decided to be cruel.

"Your Majesty Duke, I understand your suspicion. After all, we have only talked about it so far without really showing you our abilities."

Classical Music took out his treasured prop, a glaze ball that shone with turquoise color.

"I can assure you that I have the ability to cure the plague!"

The other exorcists were shocked when they saw this palm-sized glass ball.

A special item of excellent quality - Healing Orb!
  As long as it is held in someone's hand, it can continuously provide healing power. As long as there is still breath, it can restore people to their peak state.

As the price of this heaven-defying effect, the number of times it can be used is limited. A healing orb can only be used five times. Because of this, its quality is only excellent.

Compared to the surprise of the others, the sword holder was a little more incomprehensible.

This kind of thing that can save lives at a critical moment was just taken out?

If you want to save face for your branch, you don’t need to spend this kind of money, right?

And there are so many people sick. Even if you don't use it even once, you can only save five people at most. What's the use of treating the symptoms but not the root cause?
  "That's all?" Giovanni questioned, but still resisted the urge to drive them away and sat back.

"Yes." Gu Le smiled and introduced the function of the healing orb.

He also specifically mentioned that the healing orb has a characteristic, that is, it takes a day to cool down after saving a person.

As soon as these words came out, several exorcists suddenly realized.

It turns out that Classical Music planned to spend an opportunity to save a person first, gain Giovanni's trust, and then hang him on the grounds of his personality.

In this way, Giovanni will definitely put down his guard and fully cooperate with their needs.

Using a chance to use the healing orb in exchange for important clues is a price that is barely acceptable.

As for saving all the Florentines, Classical didn't even think about it.

Several people had a feeling in their hearts that this kind of behavior of classical music was not very kind, but they all tacitly agreed to his behavior without saying a word.

Blind Box didn't have much to say, and his position was consistent with Classical Music, so he would naturally not cause trouble. The other three just wanted to end this spiritual realm as soon as possible to determine Jiang Lu's condition.

But everyone has the same idea.

That is, if you spend all your money like this, you can definitely win Giovanni.

As expected, Giovanni did ask with some interest: "Can it only be used once a day?"

"Although there is a limit to the frequency," Gu Le smiled and said softly: "There is no limit to the people who can be saved. If you have sick relatives or friends around you, you can give it a try first."

However, to everyone's surprise, Giovanni just shook his head, and then said with some disgust: "What rubbish?"

"Trash?" Classical Music's smile solidified.

"What is it if it's not trash?"

Giovanni naturally compared Jiang Lu's feat with the seemingly mysterious bead in front of him, and said scornfully:

“I thought it was something so big, that saving one person in a day is worthy of such attention?

He could only do so with the help of treasures, and he looked complacent.

You deserve the fall of the Vatican, you wretches abandoned by God! "

When classical music heard this, it finally became unbearable.

No, buddy, don’t worry about whether it’s a treasure or not. I have it at least. How can you call Gouba even if you don’t have anything?
  "It sounds like" Classical Music suppressed his anger and said in a sinister tone: "Whether there are corpses scattered in the fields or the city of Florence is about to collapse, it is still under your control, the Duke?" Giovanni was stunned, and he was also a little angry: " You rude bastard, how dare you mock me?!"

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense, and a chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire reception room.

But just when a few people were ready to fight and planned to execute plan B and kidnap Giovanni, Giovanni took the initiative to withdraw his hostility and his expression returned to normal.

Because he suddenly thought of an interesting idea.

Aren’t you, the Vatican, crazy?
  Okay, then I will hold the coronation ceremony of the Protestant Pope in front of your envoys and directly declare war on you.

The Vatican is in jail and unable to protect itself, while Florence is in dire straits and will soon be back on top.

It’s time for the shame of so many years to be reckoned with.

After slapping you in the face, I will break into your city, trample your proud glory under my feet, and then offer the fertile land of the Vatican to the great God of Redemption!
  Thinking of this, Giovanni couldn't help but smile, and then said to the people with wary faces:
  "If you are willing, you can go to the Piazza della Signoria in the evening, where the new pope will hold a coronation ceremony. Then you will understand how ridiculous and vulnerable you were just in front of me."

Come on, Giovanni didn't care how these people would respond, he left them and walked away.

"The new Pope! It's him again!" Classical music slammed the table: "What kind of ecstasy has he poured into these people?"

"I don't know." The sword-holder sighed: "Everyone is loyal to him. He is a tough guy. But the only good news is that he can't really cure the plague, otherwise the people on the road will not be healed. There are so many dark spots.”

"That's right." The blind box echoed: "Although those people seem to be moving as usual, the black spots are still there, indicating that the root cause of the disease is still there. I'm afraid this kind of flashback is just an illusion created by the Pope."

The more they discussed, the more they felt that this pope might be the source of the disaster. No matter from any angle, he looked too similar.

So together, they decided that they must go to the coronation ceremony, expose each other's conspiracy on the spot in front of the entire Florence, and then solve all the troubles at once.
  Six o'clock in the evening.

Piazza della Signoria, located in the center of Florence, is already crowded with people.

The high platform built was filled with Florentine dignitaries, all of whom were wearing the most luxurious dresses and looking forward to it.

Not long after, a figure wearing an exquisite white robe with gold trim appeared in front of everyone.

The Pope has arrived!

As soon as he appeared, the pope caused the crowd to burst into excitement.

Tens of thousands of fanatical civilians chanted the Pope's name and waved frantically toward the dais, hoping to get the Pope's attention.

Some were even so excited that they almost fainted, but their companions only supported them and had no intention of sending them to rescue because they did not want to miss the opportunity to pay homage to the Pope.

The exorcists were also among the crowd, watching the Pope from a distance.

They were too far away to see clearly the pope's appearance, but they could imagine the evil heart hidden beneath his appearance.

"It's such a heinous crime to confuse these people." Classical Music sighed sadly.

However, his words only received responses from the blind box and the sword wielder.

He turned his head in confusion, only to find that Qingying and Hongchuang looked straight at each other.

Other people might not recognize them, but Qingying and Red Window don't even need to look at their faces. From a distance, the Pope's walking posture and posture can outline in his mind an extremely familiar figure.

They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

And just when they were about to confirm further, the coronation ceremony had already begun.

As member No. 001 of the Red Cross, Marino became a cardinal without hesitation.

He began to recite long teachings and laws.

Under the guidance of Jiang Lu, he copied these directly from the Catholic doctrine and canon law by replacing key words, so he, who came from a church background, could easily recite the entire text.

However, it is these long contents that can make clergy and believers' ears tingle, but ignited everyone's high emotions.

After that, Giovanni, on behalf of Florence, personally crowned Jiang Lu and swore allegiance on the spot, thus pushing the public's emotions to a climax again.

They cheered and screamed, celebrating the birth of the Pope, the rebirth of Florence, and the second life given to them by the Pope!
  Jiang Lu wore a high hat inlaid with gold on his head, and his cloak with an emerald cross was dragged long on the ground.

Facing the attention of tens of thousands of people, he raised a man-high solid gold scepter inlaid with an emerald symbolizing the God of Redemption.

With just this action, the excited square fell silent.

Quietly putting on the [Savior Bracelet], Jiang Lu shouted in a voice that everyone could hear: "From now on, this place is called Jiang Locke Square! Jiang Locke is awesome, everyone stand up!!"

After a brief silence, the earth began to tremble.

"Wood!!!"

"Long live the Pope!!!"

"Long live Jiang Locke I!!!"

"Ginger Locke is awesome, Ginger Locke Square is awesome!!!"

The thunderous roar shook the entire land and united the Florentines like never before.

Support the Pope to the death! That was the only thought that came to everyone's mind.

However, because the exorcists were all higher in level than Jiang Lu, they were not affected by the savior's bracelet. Classical Music immediately looked like he had seen a ghost, and the blind box was as shocked as the sword-wielding man.

However, because of Jiang Lu's speech, the sword holder also noticed something.

The word awesome seems like it shouldn’t appear here.
  At this moment, Hong Chuang's helpless words suddenly came to his ears: "Now I can be sure that the Pope is not an enemy."

"Why?" Classical music turned his head suddenly.

"That's Jiang Bao?" The sword holder looked confused.

"He's really not dead?!" Classical music finally reacted: "So the new pope is a teammate?! So what is the situation now?! Where is the enemy?!"

"I don't know." Qingying shook his head: "Maybe we can ask him face to face after the coronation is over."

The blind box also understood what happened in the explanation of the sword holder, and said with a strange expression: "I'm not telling you, this Jiang Bao is a little bit unnatural."

His assessment was echoed by others.

But what they never expected was that it was too early to tell.

While they were talking, Jiang Lu had completed his oath and started to move to the next step.

"Next, on behalf of the God of Redemption, I will give a gift to the lucky believer I selected - the power of healing. This is also the unique way of worship of our Red Cross Society!"

As soon as he finished speaking, in the crowd, ten beautiful young girls in nun uniforms escorted by soldiers stepped onto the high platform one after another and saluted Jiang Lu respectfully.

Jiang Lu introduced the reasons for their selection to the people.

"They are all poor children who were not completely cured immediately after the enema."

Jiang Lu paused and continued loudly: "But this is not because they are not pious enough! It only means that they are experiencing deeper suffering than others!
  What I want to say is that the God of salvation will not abandon any believer. As long as you are sincere enough, no matter how terrible the abyss you fall into, our God will find a way to fish you out! "

As he said this, he did not forget to say: "Unlike God, he is a liar and a son of a bitch!"

This slightly domineering speech not only gave confidence to the believers who had just joined the Red Cross, but also made ten girls wearing nun uniforms burst into tears.

This feeling of being understood, trusted, and supported made them firmly believe that they made the right choice.

"Your Majesty the Pope, please give us a gift!"

"Okay!" Jiang Lu solemnly ordered: "Come one by one!"

So, one by one, the stubborn dark spots on the nuns' bodies disappeared as if by magic.

They are healed!
  And Jiang Lu's courage to not treat everyone as outsiders and directly demonstrate his divine power in front of the public has been recognized by everyone and supported even more vigorously.

What is a chosen one? !

What does it mean to be well-deserved? !
  What does it mean to be welcomed by everyone? !

Even the classical music and the man holding the sword were dumbfounded, and the blind box was even more envious, hoping that it was him on the high platform.

For some reason, they always felt that they and Jiang Lu were not in the same spiritual realm.

Where is the problem?

However, some people are not too happy.

Qingying and Hongchuang's joy at seeing Jiang Lu again was replaced by a gloomy look on their faces even before the 90 seconds of the minimum commercial time.

Catherine, who was on the high platform, held Giovanni's left arm and stubbornly turned her head to one side, refusing to look at the scene that made her jealous.

Eve, who was holding Giovanni's right arm, also pouted.

Giovanni didn't notice anything strange about his wife and sister, he just looked at Jiang Luk's hard-working back with admiration, and he secretly vowed to catch up with Teacher Jiang Luk one day by betting on the name of Florence's blue beast!
  　I woke up in pain after four o'clock. It was great. I could just get up and start typing. If I don't update it tomorrow, I'll probably have sent it, so don't read it.
