Silent Crown Chapter 492: Ludovich
It's been a week.
Ye Qingxuan was sitting in prison, waiting for news.
Perhaps in the middle of the night, someone from a certain institution in the holy city will take him away, pack himself into a black carriage, and evaporate from the world.
Perhaps I will be pushed to the trial stand in front of all countries, and then walk towards the gallows according to the established result.
Or, just spend my life here in such obscurity.
Until one day the white head turns white head, and then he is thrown out because of the exchange of some political interests, spends his old age of being despised, and dies in a place where no one cares.
Although Ye Qingxuan had imagined various bad situations, he had already made up his mind to escape from prison immediately after collecting all kinds of information in a few days.
But he still didn't imagine what was happening before him.
In some ways, it can be said to be the worst case.
Ye Qingxuan doesn't think Ludovich is coming to him now, but he just wants to have lunch with him.
"Please sit down, Ye Qingxuan."
Ludovich pointed to the chair in front of him: "Let the guests stand and eat is not the way to entertain guests."
Of course, Ye Qingxuan would not be polite with him. He pulled a chair and sat down, calmly staring at the old man opposite: "We are all in jail to entertain guests, and we have to be polite.
Is this the heritage of the nobility? "
"The foundation is reflected in all aspects, my child."
Ludovich is like a kind old man with a gentle voice. In front of him, Ye Qingxuan is indeed a child. He may not even have a fifth of Ludovic's age.
Ye Qingxuan frowned and did not speak.
Ludovich casually raised the wine glass in his hand: "For example, diet, this is a college question."
"Really?"
Ye Qingxuan asked indifferently: "Can I help you eat deliciously?"
Ludovich heard his ridicule and shook his head reluctantly: "After all, he is still a young man, he likes to overeating and doesn't know the beauty of food matching."
The waiter stepped forward, poured red wine for the two to accompany the meal, and served the appetizers.
Ye Qingxuan's brows cocked.
This is not the Danfeng Bailu he ordered.
"Do you know?"
Ludovich said faintly: "The most precious thing about the smoky salmon is the fragrance of the flesh. Although the red maple and white dew is good, it is better than rare and will ruin its taste.
Try it. I deserve it for you. It is a good wine from the Royal Chateau Anglo. It is most suitable for a meal.
The winemaker calls it a knight, because its fragrance is like a knight, it escorts it and does not affect the taste of the food. "
Speaking, he cut off a piece of salmon himself and put it in his mouth. When eating, his manners were elegant, even when he was tasting wine, he was still full of grace.
"This is so good. The last time I tasted this taste was sixteen years ago. I didn't expect that after such a long time, I could still taste such a delicious taste."
"Please help me thank Mr. Prang, his craftsmanship has made me taste the essence of food."
The second half of the sentence was to the waiter. The waiter nodded and left. I expected that the chef would be ecstatic when he learned that he was praised by Ludovic.
But Ye Qingxuan didn't buy it.
"Aren't you an ascetic monk?"
He asked, "I'm afraid it's not good to spread it out if I am so greedy to enjoy."
Ludovich smiled and shook his head slowly: "My son, your news is too late. Just yesterday, my ascetic life was over."
"——From then on, there is nothing in this world worth my asceticism."
A newspaper was placed in front of Ye Qingxuan. The front page of the newspaper that was just printed this morning was the biggest news in the world.
Archbishop Ludovich will succeed him as Pope.
After tomorrow, he will be the new Scarlet King, the shepherd of the souls of all living beings, and the only substitute for God in the world.
This is really the worst news.
Ye Qingxuan took a look and threw the newspaper aside.
"I know what you are thinking."
Ludovich lowered his head, tasting the dishes served, and said lightly: "Abraham was rescued back, but he can't leave the emergency room yet.
Don't worry, I won't let him die. He has now been sent into the Mithril Cellar to freeze. It can be expected that he can live a long time, maybe longer than you. "
The Mithril Cellar, the harsh prison where musicians have heard of it.
In other words, the musician’s custody.
Musicians who committed serious crimes but could not be killed for various reasons will be sent there, and after several processes, they will be frozen, and they will sleep in the coffin until one day, the Holy City finds a way for them to atone for their sins. Wake them up again.
More people died quietly in the long sleep, disappearing silently.
"Bai Xi is with Hermes, so don't worry about it."
Speaking of Bai Xi, Ludovich couldn't help but sigh: "What a clever girl, she ran away in a little trouble. I originally wanted to bring her here today to meet you."
Ye Qingxuan was silent, but his eyes turned cold.
It became dangerous.
But Ludovich didn't realize it.
He just picked up the oysters and oyster knife that he had just brought up, and said enthusiastically:
"Don't live up to the food, enjoy lunch first, Ye Qingxuan."
It's stuck.
The shell of the oyster was pried open, revealing the white soft flesh, inhaled into the mouth, it exudes a sweet and sweet juice.
The taste of life.
It's great.
-
This may be the most exquisite meal Ye Qingxuan has ever eaten.
But I don't know the taste.
Ludovich really came here to enjoy lunch, talking about what happened in the holy city these days, humorous words, and occasionally two short paragraphs.
I don't see any evil birds or maliciousness, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but think maliciously: If he accompanies someone to eat, maybe he can make a lot of money.
Soon, this lunch is finally over.
The table was cleaned up.
The luthier finished his performance, saluted and left.
The waiter brought a cigar box and a knife, and a match.
Ye Qingxuan didn’t wait for Ludovic to be more enthusiastic, so he reached out and picked one from the inside and cut it open. No matter whether spoiling good things like this made the old smokers feel distressed, he didn’t even bother to strike a match, and his fingers were on the cigar. Click on it, leaving a burning red flame.
The smoke rose up.
Ludovich just smiled, and did not comment on his rude behavior, but slowly opened the match, turned the cigar in his hand, and heated it little by little.
After two matches, the cigar is lit.
Smoke curls up, blurring his face.
"Come and talk about business, Ye Qingxuan." He said, "I think you may not be able to wait."
"No, I like to talk to you about the mountains."
Ye Qingxuan chuckled: "I’m not in a hurry, really, it’s better to let me take a hot bath again. Our brothers will take a sauna together, meet frankly, talk to each other, and finally drink some wine, go Choose a few beautiful girls in your private club to spend the last day before you ascend the throne together, leaving precious memories."
"Really?"
Ludovich smiled: "Then I want to thank you."
"No thanks."
Ye Qingxuan humbly shook his head: "This is what I should do. The good time is so short, we must always cherish it."
"If you want, I can let you live like this every day."
Ludovich spread his hands and said enthusiastically: "How about I help you build this prison into a resort?
As long as you don't leave here, you will have whatever you want. Good food? sauna? beauty? It's not a problem at all, even if you want to watch those little choir girls striptease, I can satisfy you.
I have to say, now that some girls are so hot and bold after taking off their teaching robes, you will definitely be taken aback. "
"..."
Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I can't ask for it."
"But you don't want to, Ye Qingxuan."
Ludovic sighed: "Don't lie to an old man, especially don't lie to someone like me who is best at lies. It doesn't make sense.
Why don't you see the situation clearly?
Do you think I'll use negotiation skills for you in a very pretentious way?
It doesn’t matter if you want to regain the initiative, because I never thought about negotiating with you from the beginning.
You have tried your best, and now the initiative is in your hands, but what can you change?
Relax, Ye Qingxuan. I have already said that, be more honest with each other, and treat you to me well. "
Ye Qingxuan was silent, his expression turned gloomy.
Ludovich is right.
If he wants to do anything to himself, he has no way of resisting.
One is the Pope and the other is a prisoner.
There has never been such a big gap in the world.
Tomorrow, the whole world will be in his hands. Could it be that Ye Qingxuan can change his mind and thoughts if he takes the initiative in the conversation?
"I'm polite. It seems that you have also learned how to be humble, boy, this is good."
Ludovic nodded in satisfaction, smoking a cigar, and said faintly: "Maxwell is going crazy now, do you know?"
"Because of me?"
"It's not just because of you." Ludovich spread his hands: "To be honest, if the sword holder is gone, you can find another one. Although it is difficult to find, there may not be a second one.
Your matter is a political dilemma for Angelu, but the reason why politics is called politics is because there is always a solution that can be solved and compromised.
But now, what Anglo is suffering is a great confession. "
"Elizabeth's condition has worsened."
Ludovich shook his head and sighed: "That little girl has been holding on for so many years, the dragon blood curse has penetrated into the bone marrow, and the medicine stone has no cure... Archbishop Mephistopheles have tried his best to treat them for so many years, and now, there is no other way. .
If you are unlucky, I am afraid there will be only one month left.
And it was Leviathan that made the situation worse.
A few months ago, the mutation of Guixu formed a chain reaction in the etheric realm. One of the results was that Leviathan's resurrection time accelerated. It is expected that it will fully wake up in half a year.
Now, infected by the breath of Leviathan, the fleets of various countries have been attacked to varying degrees. The monsters in the sea have begun to change and evolve, and their fertility has increased to a jaw-dropping level.
I am afraid that within a short time, the monsters in the ocean will explode by geometric multiples.
At that time, humans will no longer be able to talk about owning the ocean.
Now Angelu has launched a war plan and mobilized all the people. Once war starts, Angelu will lose half of his territory and two-thirds of the population.
The most optimistic result is that after paying a huge price, the succeeding new emperor can kill it again. In the most tragic result, Angru launched the Holy Grail of destruction and died with Leviathan. "
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
"This is the best plan, Ye Qingxuan. In order to capture the hundred-armed giant with the same fame as Leviathan, the Holy City has paid such a tragic sacrifice. Now facing the four living creatures in its heyday, Angelu How can you not pay a price?"
Ludovich said calmly: "Even so, Maxwell has not given up on you despite internal and external troubles. His determination is worthy of admiration.
Unfortunately, now that the new emperor has not yet succeeded to the throne, Angru is in a mess. He is too weak to do so, and he doesn't even dare to leave Avalon a step.
Angelou’s diplomats are currently protesting in front of the Holy Wheel Court every day, but the new head of the Ministry of Amnesty has not yet taken office, and your case is still far away.
However, Dongfang's attitude towards this matter is quite weird.
As if nothing happened, the ambassador said nothing happened. The ambassador said that it had been a week since he was sick and he hadn't seen the guests. There was no response at all.
But in the dark, many people from the East have already seen a few key figures, but unfortunately, they all want you to die..."
Ludovich sighed: "You are already a thorn in the eyes of many people, Ye Qingxuan. Bai Heng will never allow the Ye clan to continue to exist, let alone give you a chance to return to the East alive."
"This is really bad."
Ye Qingxuan looked cold, but pretended to cry and cried: "What should I do? Lord Ludovich! You are a kind, compassionate, good-hearted person, and eager to help the poor. You must think of a way to help Help me."
"Is this from the true heart? Ye Qingxuan?"
Ludovich smiled and looked at him: "Aren't you planning an escape? As far as I know, you seem to be very interested in the boiler room these past two days. Do you want to escape here through the hot water pipe? This It's a good way.
But if you want to leave here, you don’t need to be so troublesome. I can let you go out of the gate openly, and I promise that you won't have any worries. "
"But what is the price?"
Ye Qingxuan asked indifferently: "From the beginning to the present, you have been around so many circles, you should be waiting for now? Finally entered the subject."
"You are a sensible person, Ye Qingxuan, more sensible than your father."
Ludovich shook his head and said with emotion: "Ten years ago, I said the same thing to him, but unfortunately, he refused me without even listening to the conditions. I originally thought I would return today without success."
"I am me, he is him."
Ye Qingxuan said coldly: "Just exonerating, the benefits are not enough. Be generous, Lord Pope, what else can you give me?"
"Ye Qingxuan, is there anything in this world that I can't give you what you want?"
Ludovich smiled, put down the cigar in his hand, and stared at Ye Qingxuan: "Child, I can endorse your purity in the name of God, and I can even canonize you as an innocent saint and make you a real thing. Saints!
You will become the embodiment of purity and integrity!
I can make your future path smooth and make all your obsessions come to fruition.
Do you want to go back to Anglo? The Holy City will help you get rid of Leviathan, just like we used to solve a giant with a hundred arms. I can even help you vacate Angelo's royal family and make you the uncrowned king of Angelo!
Do you want to help your mother rehabilitate? As long as you nod your head, your mother’s deeds will immediately appear in the Church’s Supreme Good.
I can release your teacher, help him erase all records, and let him live in this world with integrity. Even if you want to go back to the East, I will help you rebuild the Ye Family. When necessary, the Holy City can even make you the second Bai Heng!
Think about it, under one person, over ten thousand people..."
He paused, showing a loving smile: "Of course, it would be better if you are willing to stay in the Holy City.
I can baptize you again, Ye Qingxuan. From then on, you are my godson, and everything of the Sforza family can be handed over to you to inherit.
Within two years, you will become a bishop, and after five years of release, you will be awarded a red suit to be in charge of a parish.
When you are thirty years old, you will enter the Cardinal Church at the youngest age ever. You can sit on my right side and become the vice-prince of the Holy City.
After my death, you are the new pope! "
Deadly still.
In the dead silence, Ye Qingxuan pinched out the cigar and asked faintly: "Am I your own son?"
"I am enough to be your grandfather, Ye Qingxuan."
Ludovich spread his hands: "When I was young, there were countless lovers, but none of them were Oriental. There were neither men nor women.
So, you don’t have to worry about it. "
"Then why should I trust you?"
Ye Qingxuan asked, "Believe in a liar politician? I'm not that crazy yet."
"I said earlier, Ye Qingxuan, why should I lie to you?"
Ludovich stared at him with pity and compassion in his eyes: "As long as you bow to me, child, as long as you submit to me, everything in this world is at your fingertips.
I can give you everything you want. "
"After you took everything from me?"
Ye Qingxuan raised his eyes and looked at him.
The pupils are pitch black, reflecting the sunlight outside the window, as if black iron has been burned red, shockingly shocking.
"Mr. Ludovich, I don’t know what I have worth worth so much for you. My heart music tells me that you have not lied, and everything you say comes from your heart.
Unfortunately, you are doomed to return today without success. "
Ye Qingxuan slowly shook his head, got up, looked down at the majestic old man, and couldn't help showing a sneer.
"——Because you are not worthy."
He stopped going to see Ludovich, pushed away the chair, and turned away.
Ludovich looked at him quietly, never irritated, nor any shame, but just smiled neatly.
But at the door, Ye Qingxuan was stunned.
Because the door has disappeared.
In front of Ye Qingxuan, there was a once smooth and flat wall, on which the original door pattern was carefully depicted. The pattern is lifelike and looks as real.
Only an iron door handle was embedded on the wall, no matter how Ye Qingxuan turned, there was no response.
It's like a bad joke.
A tricky game.
But Ye Qingxuan's face turned pale.
Because all the sounds have disappeared.
I don't know when, in his perception, all people have disappeared. The whole prison was empty...No, the world on the other side of the wall had disappeared.
He can only feel an empty chaos.
"Am I not worthy?"
Ludovich’s voice came from behind the dining table: "No, Ye Qingxuan, you are wrong."
Ye Qingxuan turned his head stiffly and saw his meaningful smile.
He made a sound, as if proclaiming the truth:
"——The only person in the world who deserves your allegiance is me."
So, he saw outside the big French window behind Ludovick, the scorching sun quickly fell from the sky, fell to the ground, and turned into a big glass ball emitting red light.
He saw the moon rise from the horizon, collapsed in the sky, and turned into endless frost.
The earth undulates silently, the mountains and rivers are recreated, and the endless river floods everything, turning the world outside the window into an ocean. In the deepest part of the ocean, a huge strange fish swims silently. The scary pupils, several meters in size, peeped curiously at the indoor scene.
Immediately afterwards, he was swallowed by a larger monster fish.
Blood water gushes, dyes everything red, turns into flames, and turns the world into purgatory coke.
Until the end, the ground, water, fire and wind burst one after another.
In the chaos, the world is recreated, and everything grows...
Everything is unreal like a dream.
Ye Qingxuan can perceive every detail and every tiny change. Because of this, he felt... fear from the bottom of his heart!
He didn't even know what was going on, what happened!
In the end, his gaze fell on the man in front of the window, his eyes became sharp, as if he wanted to tear his disguise, to see what monsters were hiding under his flesh and blood!
But even if he exhausted all his abilities, he still couldn't find anything wrong.
All this seems to have nothing to do with Ludovic.
There is no ether fluctuation.
He is just an ordinary old man.
Ye Qingxuan looked at him~IndoMTL.com~ sweating.
Obviously, he couldn't feel anything, but invisible, there was a huge pressure that surrounded him and swallowed him, causing his heart to beat wildly, his hands trembling, and he was almost suffocated in deathly silence.
"What the **** are you...?"
"Introduce yourself again, Ye Qingxuan."
Ludovich sat in his chair and stared at the young man: "I am the president of the Holy City Yixin Brotherhood, the Patriarch of the Sforza Family, and I am the master of the Holy City..."
He paused and smiled strangely:
"What I represent is the only and true **** in this world, the master of all evil thoughts and evil deeds.
I am the real agent of the Hundred Eyes in the world, one of the nine incarnations of the same name as the Source of All Evil, the Lord of Darkness, the King of Destruction and Slaughter, and the Cunning Spider.
You can call me Ludovic...
——Pope Ludovic of the original dark. "
