Chapter 338 [How to prove it?]
Chen Daolin didn't know that his biggest enemy, Hilo, had made a wrong judgment because of some people's prison robbery, and thought he had already taken an airship to the northwest.
But at this moment, this is not important to him.
In a small and secret reception room in the Temple of Light, Chen Dao finally met the leader of the church, the spiritual leader of the empire's believers, and the spokesperson of the goddess on earth, Pope Heinx.
"Dear Pope." Although Chen Daolin's tone was very polite, he just sat there and did not get up. He just nodded slightly: "This is the second time we have met."
Heinx looked calm. When he walked into the living room, the door immediately closed, and only the two of them were left in this small living room.
"It's the second time." Heinx sat slowly opposite Chen Daolin. The gray-white linen robe on his body was spotless. Such crude clothes were worn on his body, but he felt a sacred and outspoken feeling in conjunction with Heinx's temperament.
His Holiness is pretty and looks like he has no sharp edge, gentle and restrained, just like a well-educated scholar with a gentle temperament, but his eyes have bright and transparent eyes, which seem to have not put any pressure on people, but it seems to have enveloped people.
Chen Daolin looked at Heinx, looked at his robe, and smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for seeing with his own eyes, who would have believed that Your Majesty was so miserable. If such a robe was in the palace, I'm afraid even the court servants would not be able to wear it."
Heinx looked calm and smiled and said, "Since you are serving God in this way, you don't have to pay attention to these external things. If it weren't for some special occasions, I would have dressed like this in private in order to maintain the majesty of the church."
Chen Daolin sighed, his tone seemed to be sincere: "I sincerely admire everything that I can't do but others can do."
"Oh?" Heinx smiled: "It's just a mere clothing, so what makes Master Darling sigh?"
Chen Daolin took a deep breath and said sincerely: "I saw you come in just now. If you were wearing gorgeous clothes, I would not be afraid. But you were wearing a robe, but I made me feel like I was sitting on pins and needles at this moment."
"Just clothing is nothing." Chen Daolin deliberately paused and said slowly word by word: "I admire it because I once heard a truth: those who are cruel to themselves can be more cruel to others."
Heinx put away his smile, stared at Chen Daolin!
...
The eyes of the room lasted for a long time.
After a long time, Heinx seemed to smile. When his smile, the invisible pressure that filled the air seemed to have suddenly disappeared before.
Chen Daolin immediately reminded himself in his heart: This is a firm and wise opponent!
Heinx then looked at Chen Daolin: "I don't want to ask how you escaped from the palace... I'm not surprised that you can be so respected by a person like Dean Carmen. You have such skills. I don't want to ask why you didn't choose the Magic Society or the Magic Union when looking for a hiding place, but came to the Goddess's temple - Montoya. The church does owe you a great favor. If you can repay this favor in this matter, I'm willing to provide you with a short-term protection."
Chen Daolin remained silent.
Heinx smiled slightly on his face: "I'm waiting for you to speak."
"say what?"
Heinx laughed and said, "I think you said such shocking words before you came here. I think you should have prepared some words to convince me before you see me? I am very curious and want to hear whether your words will satisfy me."
Seeing the sarcastic smile on Heinx's face, Chen Daolin sighed intentionally.
He pointed out of the door: "I think... at this moment, my family and my loyal guards should have been surrounded by the Holy Knights, but I'm afraid they have been disarmed. If I can't satisfy you, I'm afraid you won't be so polite to me what happened next."
"If you only seek asylum, for the sake of Montoya and Lanlan, I don't mind making a decision and letting the temple give you a favor. But you shouldn't say such a big word when you come in. Lord Darlingchen, I hope you understand that some lies cannot be told, and some disrespectful words cannot be said."
As he said that, Heinx sighed softly and whispered to himself: "When a kind believer begging, he will give you the last grain of food, but if you offend his faith, he will not be stingy with the blade to express his anger."
"...Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Chen Daolin raised his head and laughed, then looked at Heinx: "His Majesty Pope, is this a threat?"
His laughter came to an abrupt end, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Heinx, and then slowly said word by word: "His Majesty Pope, you decided from the beginning, am I lying on purpose?"
Heinx didn't say anything, but his attitude was obviously accustomed to it.
Chen Daolin smiled: "What are the benefits for me to tell such a lie?"
"It doesn't matter." Heinx shook his head: "Maybe you were talking nonsense to escape for life and seek asylum, maybe you were trying to cheat the benefits from the church... I tell you that over the past hundred years, we have executed at least a hundred evildoers who have lied to have received the will of God to come to the church to cheat the benefits. This kind of thing happens almost once or twice a year."
Chen Daolin's vicious curse: Maybe there is a real God envoy killed by you...
"So, how do you make sure I'm fake?" Chen Daolin sneered.
"No, I just need to make sure you are not real, that's enough." Heinx still looked calm.
This time, Chen Daolin really laughed. He smiled helplessly, with an unconcealed mockery in his laughter: "Do you think I don't look like a messenger?"
"Not like." Heinx shook his head without hesitation.
Chen Daolin nodded and actually smiled and said, "I don't think it's like it myself."
Just before the new changes appeared on Heinx's expression, Chen Daolin raised his hand and pointed at his nose, and slowly said: "It's a pity that although I don't look like... I am."
...
Chen Daolin thinks he is not lying.
Or, in a sense, he felt that he was indeed not lying.
Semer is a "fake version of the goddess". According to Chen Daolin's logic, he believes that the fake version of the goddess can also be regarded as a goddess. Just like the rich are human beings, you can't say that poor are not human beings, right?
So, I had a deal with Semer, the "fake version goddess" and followed her intentions. So, after all, I can be regarded as a "god envoy"? Although it is also a fake version.
But the fake version of the God Messenger is also a God Messenger!
This logic is very powerful, so with Chen Daolin's shamelessness, he can continue to be justified in front of this temple pope without any psychological burden.
At this moment, Heinx himself couldn't control it.
He saw a strange...confidence in Chen Daolin's eyes?
This young man was clearly talking about the most ridiculous and ridiculous things in his mouth, but he could be so righteous in front of him?
He should know that when speaking such a lie, he would be dismantled by the angry Holy Knights at any time and thrown into the sacred fire and burned into charcoal!
Chen Daolin doesn't seem to be a lunatic, so he doesn't seem to have a reason to come and do such a ridiculous thing, right?
Heinx suddenly felt a little confused. Even though he was wise, even though he was calm, even though he was knowledgeable, at this moment, facing a Darling Chen, who was thicker than the city wall and darker than coal, an otaku who used to be, later after experiencing countless bloody dangers in this world, he transformed into a dark-bellied time traveler... Heinx really couldn't see through him anymore.
...
"Although I know that I say this, it's hard for me to believe it. I feel like I must be crazy..." Heinx carefully said: "Then, Mr. Darlingchen, if you want me to believe you, it depends on whether you can provide evidence for me to accept it."
"What if I showed you evidence to convince you?" Chen Daolin tilted his head.
"Then you are the messenger of God!" Heinx suddenly looked serious: "You are the apostle who came to the world by the goddess, representing the goddess's glory! In the church, you can even have the same authority as me!"
"If I weren't, I would have been cut off by you because of blasphemy, right? I didn't even have the chance to tie it up and give Hilo." Chen Daolin smiled.
Heinx didn't laugh, but just looked at Chen Daolin coldly.
At the end of the day, Chen Dao finally curled his smile bit by bit, and he quietly looked at the pope...
"You must have heard of some things about me from Lanlan's mouth."
Heinx didn't speak.
"I'm not from the Roland Empire." Chen Daolin smiled and said, "Before I appeared in that frozen forest, the Roland Empire had no trace of me... Someone who knew me once joked like this: I seemed to suddenly appear in this world out of thin air."
Heinx was slightly moved, but he still shook his head: "The world is so big. Maybe you come from the grassland, maybe you come from the South Ocean, maybe you come from the depths of some hidden mountains and rivers, no one can be sure of it. Moreover, according to what I know, you claim that you come from an overseas country, although even the most knowledgeable Rolanders have never heard of that country."
"Oh, this is very difficult." Chen Daolin deliberately grabbed his hair: "I have several things, and it may prove my identity if I say it... but I don't know which one should I say first? Maybe... I'll just say it all before you believe it?"
Chen Daolin smiled intentionally and looked straight into the pope's eyes!
"For example, I know that when the Roland Empire was founded, the goddess once descended to the next angel, but the angel was killed as soon as it arrived... And the first pope in your temple was actually a traitor? Oh, by the way, this matter should be the biggest secret in your church! But I believe that you, the pope, must know this kind of secret.
"For example, well, a hundred years ago, the goddess once came to two more angels, but they were both killed by Duke Tulip?"
