(I am about to faint … I finished writing this chapter yesterday. I really did not intentionally skip the vote yesterday. This matter really makes me speechless.
Last night, I uploaded this chapter. In the end, due to my dizziness, I forgot to click on the 'publish' button.
Qidian's update system is to upload a chapter first before publishing it. Uploading a chapter can only be done by storing it in the author's section. Only by publishing it can everyone see it. In the end, I forgot to click on the 'publish' button …
When I woke up this morning, I saw that everyone in the book review section was saying that I skipped the vote. I was very surprised. I had clearly uploaded the chapter … in the end, when I looked at the author's section … I realized that I had forgotten to publish it. Sorry, sorry … I did not do it on purpose.)
GOR Chapter 287 Placing Bets
Du Wei looked at this Lord Mythological Beast with anticipation. His heart was beating rapidly.
"I don't know too much." QQ's words undoubtedly caused Du Wei's adrenaline to surge! Knowing 'not too much', that means you at least know a little bit? Knowing a little bit is fine!
Perhaps it was because Du Wei's eyes were too fiery, causing QQ to shrink back in a strange manner. "All right … I think you probably know that according to legend, Gods possess the ability to prophesy. Of course, there are also legends that say that prophecy is not the exclusive ability of Gods. As long as your strength and magic reach a certain level, such as reaching the level of Gods, you can also prophesy people and events in the future.
Especially when the Goddess performed a miracle. On the stone filled with divine spells, there was a record of 'prophecy' … Unfortunately, I believe that the divine spells that Gods taught to humans are only low-level things. The truly powerful ones are of a higher level, and the Goddess would not teach them to humans! Thus, prophecy was not written on the stone tablet.
At that time, as the head of the Church, I naturally saw all of these divine spells. I also secretly made a copy of these divine spells and gave it to Aragon's master.
Hmm, I think it's because the master of Aragon is so powerful that he's close to the realm of gods. Therefore, he probably grasped the power of prophecy. In the end, when we were heading north, he sealed me on the Sacred Mountain of the Dragons. Before he sealed me, he said to me, 'In the future, someone will open this place and awaken you. That person will inherit everything of mine. He will also take good care of you. You should help him as much as you can.'
After that, Master used magic to put me into a deep sleep. As for him, I knew that he must have crossed the Sacred Mountain and continued to head north.
However, I was already asleep at that time, so I don't know what happened after that. "
Du Wei's expression did not look good.
Prophecy?
To hell with Prophecy! Du Wei didn't believe that things were that simple!
On that little road in Nanyang, there were actually Chinese characters written on the soles of Fick's feet: 'Hello, Du Wei'. Could such a strange thing be explained by a simple 'prophecy'?
It was as though Aragon's shadow was constantly looming over him with every step he took. It was as though every step he took was within Aragon's calculations from a thousand years ago!
This was definitely not something that could be explained by a simple 'prophecy'! Even if Aragon had the ability to prophesize things a thousand years in the future, there was no way he could know so many details!
"Then … what about Nanyang?" Du Wei sighed. "How much do you know about Nanyang? Aragon actually left a message for me on the soles of that Nanyang kid's feet … "
"I don't know." QQ shook his head. "I know nothing about Nanyang. Perhaps, Master went to Southeast Asia after I fell into a deep slumber. Hmm, that must be it. After I fell asleep, he first went to the Sacred Mountain of the Dragons and then went to Nanyang? Hmm, that must be it. "
It seems that this QQ has already revealed everything it knows.
However, as Du Wei carefully observed this fellow, he could not help but feel doubtful. This bird was not so obedient! From its behavior, it would appear that it was hiding a lot of secrets.
“QQ。” Duwei sighed and tried to make his tone more sincere. Since the hard way didn't work, he could only use the soft way: "I said … … Since Aragon left you with me and asked you to help me a lot, why didn't you tell me? Then, I think you should be honest with me. You see, you didn't tell me about these things before. Instead, you hid them from me! Now, I think … you should tell me everything you know. That way, it might be of greater help to me. Don't hide anything from me, okay? "
Hearing Du Wei's words, QQ suddenly cried out loudly. "Aiyo, Master Du Wei. I really have nothing to hide from you … I can swear, I swear to the Goddess of Light! "
Du Wei snappily scolded. "Go to hell! Didn't you say you don't believe in the Goddess of Light? You swear to the Goddess, who would believe you? "
He was even more certain that the detestable bird was hiding something from him.
Du Wei was extremely angry, but he could not do anything to this bird. Finally, looking at Du Wei's sullen face, QQ loosened up a little and said, "What are you talking about?
"Dear Master Du Wei, there are a lot of things that are useless to say now. There are many things that can only be beneficial to you when you have great strength. If you say it too early, it may not be a good thing. "
Du Wei rolled his eyes. "Hmph, that's nice to hear! Why are you willing to tell me these things today? "
"Because I think today is a good opportunity." QQ suddenly stopped joking and its tone became serious.
"Opportunity?"
"Yes." QQ said very seriously. "Dear Master Du Wei. I think your acquaintance with Bishop Maximos is a good opportunity to reach your hands into the Church! Do you remember what I told you about Master Aragon's' God Usurping 'plan? Since you are the successor of Master, then we might as well continue with this plan. "
"Go to hell." Du Wei sneered indifferently. "Do I have nothing better to do? Why would I take the initiative to find trouble with the Shrines? I am free and unfettered, living my life as a Duke in the Northwest. You don't know how happy I am! "
QQ was not angry, it just smiled faintly. "That's not right. My Master, your relationship with the Shrines will inevitably break down one day. You see … Let's not talk about anything else. Just talk about you now, who knows how many things the Shrines are afraid of. For example … Hussain? For example, Her Majesty Queen Medusa? You see, these things can be concealed for a while, but they may not be concealed for a lifetime. If one day the Shrines find out … "
"Then let's wait until that day comes!" Du Wei still shook his head. "I just want to live my life freely. Subverting the Shrines? I have no interest in this kind of great undertaking. Also … don't talk to me about inheriting Aragon's mission! I have no interest in this! I have no interest in inheriting Aragon's mission! What does a guy who died a thousand years ago have to do with me! "
"It seems you want to hide … But can you hide?" QQ laughed. "Master Du Wei, think about it. Archbishop Maximus boarded your ship, and you helped him drive away his pursuers. This is equivalent to offending the Xieni Faction of the Shrines! Also … the daughter of the Crown Prince, Her Highness the Holy Maiden of the Shrines, has always been at odds with you. If you don't provoke them, do you think they won't provoke you?
Tonight you still have to have dinner with Bishop Maximos. At that time … "
Du Wei was silent for a moment. "I can't hide from the Shrines. But let me tell you, I may have dealings with the Shrines, I may do something … But I won't participate in your God Usurping Plan! In my opinion, the Shrines are just like the Magician's Guild, they can be used and traded. But I definitely don't want to make such a big enemy! So, I may have to trade something with Bishop Maximos, but – subverting the Shrines? Humph, I have no interest in such a great undertaking! "
After saying that, Du Wei left QQ alone, turned around and walked out of the room.
Looking at Du Wei's back, QQ sighed, then smiled and said to himself. "See, I was right. There are many things, even if I tell you now, it's useless. You have to wait until the day you can't hide, then you can accept it. Even if I tell you now, you won't be willing to take responsibility. Hmm … Do you think it's easy to deal with the Shrines? My master … The Shrines are a quagmire, once you put your foot in it, it will be difficult to pull it out! "
•
Du Wei's boat went all the way downstream. In the evening, they sailed through the last bend in the river. After this bend, they were only a few days away from the Imperial Capital. After that, the river gradually widened and flattened, and there were more and more boats on the river.
In this case, even if the Shrines wanted to send someone to assassinate him, they wouldn't have the chance in broad daylight with so many boats on the river.
In the evening, Du Wei invited the bishop to have dinner together. But to Du Wei's surprise, only Maximos attended the dinner. Bishop Lamu and Rhine didn't come.
"Lamu is a bit seasick, so he's resting in his room. As for Rhine … He doesn't understand etiquette, so I don't think he needs to attend the Duke's dinner. " Maximos changed into a clean robe. Although it was still an old robe, it was very neat and tidy. In the afternoon, he should have taken a bath in his room, because his hair was meticulously standing up.
At first glance, he looked like a neat and simple old priest who paid attention to his appearance.
Du Wei knew that the bishop most likely had something to discuss with him, so it was good that there was no one else around.
Then the two sat down. Du Wei had people bring wine and delicacies, mainly some northwest style delicacies. After the two began to exchange greetings for a while, Maximos directly cut to the chase.
"Your Excellency, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude for your help today. Please allow me to propose a toast to you. "The bishop raised his wine glass.
After the two drank, Maximos put down his wine glass and continued: "But I'm very worried … Today's matter has already destroyed the Xieni faction's plan to kill me. The Xieni faction has always been resolute and cruel, seeking revenge for the smallest grievance. Today, you offended them because of me, I think … "
Humph, here comes the meat of the show. Du Wei sneered in his heart, but his face was very calm: "Oh, I'm not worried. Your Excellency! Even if I offended these guys. I believe that in the great Shrines, these Xieni faction people can't cover the sky with one hand, right? "
"That's true." Maximos sighed: "But now it seems that the Xieni faction's momentum has indeed suppressed our Mosa faction. After all, their doctrines are more in line with the majority of people's appetite. And we … advocate frugality. In this world, there aren't many people who are willing to frugality. But the majority of people think that the Xieni faction's idea of expanding the influence and power of the Church is more in line with their appetite. Of course, the Xieni faction hasn't come to power yet, so they may not dare to openly retaliate against a Duke like you. But once they get … "
"The Pope's right of succession?" Du Wei smiled slightly.
"Yes." Maximos sighed: "If the Xieni faction's people become the Pope, then …"
At this point, he deliberately paused, then with a sincere look he continued: "Speaking of which, these troubles are all because of me. If I didn't board your ship, then you wouldn't be involved."
Du Wei waved his hand and lightly said: "There's no point in talking about this now, Your Excellency. I'll be frank with you, today's matter wasn't entirely to save you. If it was anyone else on my ship, I would have protected them! After all, with my identity, if word got out that someone came to my ship and killed my guests, I, the Duke of the Tulip Family, didn't dare to say anything, but instead retreated in fear. How can I show my face in the future? "
Although his words were a little crude, the logic was still valid. Maximos nodded and gently said: "Well, Your Excellency the Duke is telling the truth, but in the end, it was you who saved me. This point can't be erased. No matter what, when I return to the capital, I will deal with them. As long as I'm in the Shrines, I will not allow these guys to retaliate against you. "
These words can be said to be wonderful. Du Wei secretly sighed in his heart. How can these people who are born as charlatans always make a naked exchange of benefits sound so dignified?
"As long as I'm in the Shrines, I will not allow them to retaliate against you." These words are very nice to hear, but the meaning is very clear: If you don't want them to retaliate against you, then you have to make sure that I'm still in power in the Shrines! Only when I'm in power in the Shrines can I ensure that they won't retaliate against you.
It's that simple.
Du Wei understood that this was a test of his words. If he accepted, then the next step would be for both sides to talk about the conditions.
Thinking of this, Du Wei picked up his wine glass, pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Excellency the Bishop, I don't know why they were in such a hurry to assassinate you on your way back to the capital? Could it be … His Majesty the Pope, he … "
Even if you want me to place a bet, I have to see if you're worth my investment. Duwei's smiling face made him look harmless to humans and animals.
