I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 418 Beware of the Dragon

The next day, Ganon met the Pope again and finally got the scepter from him.

The whole process was that Bishop Marcel stepped forward first, saluted in front of the Pope, stretched out his hands respectfully, and then the Pope with a majestic look placed the scepter in Bishop Marcel's hand.

Then Bishop Marcel turned around again, holding the holy object with a solemn expression and returned to the waiting Zhenna and Ganouen.

"You have to keep it safe." The pope told Ganouen seriously, "This is passed down from generation to generation among popes and is a symbol of religious authority... Hey, don't be so rough!!"

His words turned into a scolding in the middle of his words, because Ganon reached out and snatched the scepter from Bishop Marcel's hand with an impatient expression.

"When I strip away the divinity, this thing will be back in your hands. It will at least be a sub-artifact and will not prevent you from passing it on to the next pope, such as your daughter." Gano Eun said in a casual tone.

The Pope continued two days of deliberation in order to get the entire Council of Cardinals to agree to lend the crosier.

From Ganoen's point of view, this is simply a waste of time. Although there has been no new movement in Dragon Ascension's Nest, he needs to be wary of the missing Blue Dragon King's possible sudden attack on the empire, and on the Elemental Federation and the Kingdom of Death. Negotiations are still in progress, and he has nowhere else to go at the moment.

Hearing Ganouen say this, the Pope showed a somewhat lonely look on his face: "Emily... suddenly said she wanted to give up being a bishop. No matter how hard she tried to persuade her, she seemed to be preparing to study for the city hall clerk exam. , it was so sudden..."

Ganon and Salil looked at each other after hearing this, and both chose to remain silent.

"Do you have any clues?" the Pope asked cautiously.

He vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with this group of people. As soon as they came, his daughter suddenly gave up on the path of practicing bishop that she had insisted on for more than ten years. She even seemed to be less devout in her belief in the Holy Light.

"No, children have their own ideas and choices, so don't interfere too much. There is nothing wrong with being a clerk." Ganouen said with a smile.

"Uh, okay." Seeing this, the Pope could only sigh and nod.

"So, what level of support is the Papal State prepared to give us?" Ganon asked again.

"This needs to be discussed on another topic." The Pope replied. Seeing Ganouen's unkind look, he had to raise his hand to explain, "I'm not trying to deal with you. Such a big matter must be voted by the Cardinals. But I think it should be There will be no problem, I have actually contacted Tiantangshan personally, and I have also confirmed some inside information..."

"You already know about Seraph's disappearance?" Ganon asked.

"Yes." The Pope replied, "It seems that as you said, something terrible is happening in the north."

"We all know this, can't you make a decision right away? Even if you hand over the scepter, this matter actually takes two days to write down?" Ganon was deeply dissatisfied with these rule-abiding bishops.

"I sometimes hate the bureaucracy here, but the rules are the rules." The Pope shrugged, "But what you want, we will give it to you. We will provide an elite group of Holy Knights, enough Become your helper in your expedition into the desert."

"So, can you personally participate in it, His Majesty the Pope?" Ganon asked, "We are all looking forward to seeing your majestic appearance in the future."

"Is it going to come to this?" The Pope suddenly widened his eyes.

"Our goals are the powerful ancient dragons and fallen gods. That is not a field where mortals can rely on numbers to accumulate combat power. Legendary powerhouses like you are crucial." Ganon said seriously. "But I... still have many responsibilities." The Pope seemed a little hesitant. He had not seriously considered personally taking the reinforcements from the Papal State to conquer the unknown enemy in the desert with the red dragon.

The Papal State has handed over the artifact as a symbol of religious power and has also sent reinforcements. To a certain extent, it is considered to be quite benevolent.

It seemed a bit impolite for the red dragon to make such further demands.

Although there are various signs that the threat mentioned by the red dragon may be real, it is still difficult for him to agree to it when this threat is still so far away from the Papal State. of.

The consideration of his own interests is certainly one of them. He is the leader of the Papal State, a symbol of religious authority, and the only legendary strong man in the Papal State. His existence itself is crucial to this country. Considering Considering the significance to the country, he cannot mortgage this important national asset at will.

What's more, he still has a daughter.

"Listen, Your Majesty the Pope, if you value your country and if you have people who need to be protected, then you should come forward. This is not a game between you and me. We have to face threats that threaten the entire world together. Enemy, this is not the time for us to be suspicious of each other, do you understand?" Ganon saw the Pope's hesitation and explained the truth to the other party in a sincere and sincere manner.

"Okay, I will consider it." The Pope just wanted to deal with it as soon as possible.

Ganon saw that the other party still had not officially taken this matter into consideration. After thinking for a moment, he decided to negotiate with the other party in another way.

He suddenly stepped forward. The Pope noticed his movement, and Leike took a step back: "What are you going to do?"

He and the cardinal decided to make the transfer of the scepter a confidential matter, so he sent all the guards away at the scene of handing over the scepter - in fact, these guards were of little use in front of the red dragon.

As a big shot in the legendary realm, the Pope is not afraid of Ganouen, but he will still be wary of the other party's sudden abnormal behavior.

"Don't be nervous, my Majesty." Under the surprised gazes of others, Ganouen put his hand on the Pope's shoulder, "I just want to remind you that if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your daughter. Down."

"Okay, I understand what you mean..." The Pope thought that Ganouen was going to mention the cliché that saving the world also saves his daughter.

"I can understand that before the disaster strikes, you may not have a sufficient sense of crisis." Ganon lowered his voice and said, "But you probably don't want an evil dragon who likes to snatch princesses to target your daughter. Bar?"

The Pope immediately opened his eyes and looked at Ganouen: "Didn't you mean..."

"About this, I can change my mind at any time, it depends on what you do." Ganouen suddenly grinned, "I'm not threatening you, I just suddenly feel that your daughter is indeed very good!"

"If you dare to touch a hair on her—" the pope suddenly became excited.

"Don't make such useless threats. I believe you have a better solution." Ganon let go of the Pope and walked away from him with the scepter.

This evil dragon also said not to be suspicious of each other. Sure enough, those rumors still have reference value... The Pope thought silently in his heart.
