Chapter 1020: Pope: As Smart as I Am
"Go get Beulah for me! I'm going to drive the nursing home into the sea!"
"Where's Amiya? I need her to help me hold back Kal'tsit!"
"Wei Lao Er, contact the Grand Tutor for me and tell him to stop worrying about the evil spirits and bring the people of Ursus with me to march south!"
"Doctor! I'm going to go find the doctor! I'm going to defeat Hai Si!"
"And everyone from the Terra United Association, follow me. From the little kids who have just learned to crawl to the old men and women who are a hundred or eighty years old, gather them all!"
"These sea creatures seem too urbanized!"
"Isn't Victoria short on supplies? Fresh canned goods are on the way!"
Qi Yan's shouting echoed in the office.
Elini's initial excitement gradually turned into fear.
She felt that Qi Yan might have been stimulated to the point of going insane. If he continued to do this, it would be a problem whether Iberia could continue, not to mention Hai Si.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Wei Yanwu and Ailini held Qi Yan on the left and right, fearing that this guy would run away when they were not paying attention.
It would be a sin if we scared the children in Rutland.
"Is it so lively?"
Outside the wide-open door of the office, the Pope came out after smelling the scent.
Behind him, Amiya and Theresa looked around the house with curiosity and worry.
"Mr. Qi Yan, were you calling me just now?" Amiya walked forward and motioned the two people on the left and right to disperse.
Qi Yan, who regained his freedom, rushed forward, grabbed Amiya's shoulders and shook her vigorously:
"Amiya, you have to speak up for me. Those Hai Si are going too far!"
"Well, stop shaking. I feel dizzy."
Amiya's pair of furry rabbit ears almost left an afterimage as Qi Yan swayed.
Theresa rushed forward to rescue Amiya and carefully held her in her arms:
"Qi Yan, you don't want me to tell everyone in Rhodes Island about you bullying Amiya, right?"
"Hey, I was wrong."
Qi Yan calmed down under Theresa's threatening gaze.
"I am okay."
Amiya blushed slightly.
In fact, if she wanted to escape just now, Qi Yan with his white hair and black eyes would not be able to catch her at all, and she was actually quite happy about it.
"Qi Yan, from what you just said, are you planning to personally lead the troops to deal with Hai Si's threat?"
The Pope stepped forward and brought the topic into the track of his own interest.
"That's right, I will expel all of Hai Si, leaving no one behind!" Qi Yan said firmly, "On the other side of the sea, there are enemies!"
The Pope immediately analyzed: "If we want to recruit soldiers from other countries, it will take at least several months to go back and forth. This involves the dispatch of various countries and the opening of borders, so we can't be careless.
So... the best place to recruit soldiers is still Lateran, which is adjacent to Iberia. I mean, I don't mind leading the cavalry in person."
Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on the Pope.
Qi Yan asked suspiciously, "If you lead the cavalry to the battle yourself, what about Lateran?"
"That's Valliv and Lemion, and I caught Mostima too."
The Pope gave the answer with a smile.
"Are you really afraid that Rutland will not die?"
Qi Yan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling just thinking about Mostima's governance.
"Don't worry, I've already considered this." The Pope said confidently, "In fact, the one who really shoulders the heavy responsibility is Lemiaoan. Mostima and Valeriv are just my left behind to let them fight with each other and entertain Lemiaoan."
Everyone: "..."
The Pope rubbed his hands while no one else was speaking and asked again:
"So, in this expedition against Hai Si, are there any other fun experiences similar to Tracys?"
"You Thomas, are you still thinking about the birth of the child? I haven't even gotten the job yet!"
When Qi Yan heard this, he became furious again and grabbed the Pope's white beard.
There was chaos in the office again.
When everyone finally separated the two, Theresa stepped forward to stand in front of Qi Yan, using her body to suppress the possibility of this guy going crazy.
She looked at the Pope and said meaningfully:
"Your Excellency's words may be amusing, but others will not easily believe them. If I am not mistaken, it should be due to my participation in the World Summit."
"Ms. Theresa is really smart."
The Pope straightened his messy beard and said with a smile: "In fact, this time I arbitrarily let Kazdel participate in the Summit of Nations. The result is good, but the subsequent troubles will not be completely eliminated.
The internal public opinion of Lateran is divided, and the external countries are re-examining it. Just thinking about it makes me feel that even desserts have become bitter... So if I can't afford to offend them, I will just avoid them. What is the purpose of training the younger generation? Isn't it to help us old guys share the worries?"
Theresa reminded him, “Aren’t you afraid that without your suppression, the three juniors won’t be able to suppress the voices below?”
"I have taken all the musketeers away. Who else in Lateran can defeat Mostima with his two staffs?" the Pope said calmly.
Theresa: “…”
She really wanted to dissuade the Pope, not simply because she was worried about the stability of Lateran, but because... the Pope was begging Qi Yan to command him and the cavalry!
Qi Yan is in command!
She looked at Wei Yanwu for help.
As an insider, Wei Yanwu pretended not to understand Theresa's look and said seriously:
"Yan Country will not participate. Even if it is the Yanwu Alliance, it will not be able to take care of both the north and the south."
Theresa: “…………”
She looked at Amiya again.
As a result, Amiya said firmly: "I believe Mr. Qi Yan!"
Theresa: “………………”
It’s over. My little rabbit has been completely abducted by Qi Yan.
"Okay, it's settled!" Qi Yan waved his hands for a moment, and said domineeringly, "There is no time to lose, let's get going immediately!"
"Seconded!"
The Pope responded with a chuckle.
……
……
South of Iberia, offshore waters.
A fishing boat was shaking in the surging waves. The propeller at the stern roared and cut the waves, but it could not free the poor fishing boat from the clutches of the ocean.
"Damn it, the weather was calm before we went out to sea, why did the wind suddenly pick up?"
"Why do I feel like something is wrong? There's no reason why the wind should be shaking the boat like this."
"Don't waste your time. We've made a big catch this time. If we can get them back to shore, the boss will give us a reward."
The sailors' discussions fell silent amid the captain's rebuke.
But the lookout on board suddenly called out:
"Captain, the situation is not good, the weather on the east side has changed!"
Everyone on the boat changed their expressions and rushed to the side of the ship to look at the sky to the east.
At the end of the sight, the surging black clouds seemed to be expanding along the sea surface.
Before the clouds arrived, the howling sea breeze hit every crew member in the face.
Although they were clearly in the coastal waters, the ocean waves had evolved to a terrifying level rarely seen even in the deep sea.
"Keep steady and don't get knocked down by the waves!"
The captain yelled angrily: "Don't fight the wind and waves head-on, turn the rudder and sail diagonally along the wind and waves.
First mate, take your men to reinforce the cabin. If our cargo is lost, I will throw you into the sea!"
"Yes!"
The first mate didn't bother to remind the captain that they were a fishing boat and there was no such thing as making nests.
But now was obviously not the time to chat with the captain, so he called a few people around him and hurried into the cabin.
The captain staggered to the mast, steadied himself and looked left and right at the sea conditions.
But before he could take a closer look, a loud noise suddenly came from under the hull, as if something huge had hit his boat from the bottom of the sea.
This rather large fishing boat actually jumped upwards as if it had no weight at all.
Then the feeling of weightlessness came over me.
Everyone on the boat fell to the deck in a panic, and some even lost their balance and rolled into the sea screaming.
"Damn, what's in the sea?" The captain covered his forehead with his hands, his face looking extremely ugly.
His confusion did not last long, as one of the sailors who had gone to the cabin almost rushed back to the deck on his hands and knees.
"Sea monster, there's a sea monster! It smashed the hull with its tentacles and stole all our cargo, taking away the first mate and others!"
The sailor screamed like a madman: "We are finished, we have angered those sea monsters, and the storm must be caused by them. We will all die. We should not go out to sea against the order of the Inquisition!"
shut up!
The captain roared piercingly.
But he found himself deprived of his voice.
Not only himself, all the sounds around him disappeared. The manic ocean formed a shocking and violent picture, but it was as if someone pressed the mute button, turning it into a weird and ridiculous pantomime.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
The captain roared silently in rage.
He still couldn't hear his own voice, but he could hear a quiet, long, strange sound coming from beneath the sea.
The sound is similar to that of a whale, but without that ethereal beauty. Instead, it has a maddeningly depressing quality.
A large number of crew members fell to their knees under the attack of this sound, tearing their ears hard and banging their heads against the deck desperately.
Veins throbbed on the captain's forehead. He still couldn't hear any sound, but a fire of evil in his heart made him restless.
The captain suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist, roared silently and rushed to the railing of the ship. He stood there helplessly and waved the dagger at the sea.
The crew members knelt on the deck and struggled frantically, and the captain danced alone in the strong wind.
This scene was like a sacrificial ceremony of some unknown civilization: crazy, solemn, and dignified, yet illogical.
The waves hit the hull, and the dancing captain swayed, turned over and fell into the sea.
As he fell, he saw a tiny figure floating quietly on the sea in the distance. A pair of emerald green eyes with vertical pupils were staring at him quietly, with amusement and disgust in the eyes.
The cold sea water silently surrounded the captain.
He saw the creature with lively and rational eyes swimming towards him in the sea.
Just when the captain could see the details of the other party's hair through the blurry sea water, he noticed that the creature stopped moving and looked towards the east where the dark clouds were coming with astonishment in its eyes.
Then the creature turned and left.
The sound returned to the captain's world.
The waves carried the captain, he struggled to stick his head out of the water and subconsciously looked towards the east.
The dark cloud that seemed to be hanging right above his head and could be touched by hand has arrived in front of the captain, but the protagonist is no longer this cloud of devastating disaster.
The waves were crushed by the rotten giant ship, and the dark clouds retreated to both sides in submission.
A magnificent ship that emerged from history, a symbol of a golden age, silently broke into the captain's vision.
