Today's princess is still cute

Urusos took the mission in the morning, and the viscount died at the tea party in the afternoon in full view of everyone. The guards who came to deal with it did not find any signs of poisoning or injury, and in the end they could only determine that it was sudden death.

Roye didn't know how the great and glorious Son of God knew such a person, but as someone in this line of work, he didn't care who Urusos was, as long as he could trust him.

At this moment, Urusus, who had transformed into a handsome man, was slowly picking up a piece of meat that had just been scalded for less than a few seconds, putting it into his mouth and chewing it carefully. He only answered Roye's question after swallowing it.

“It should be a little colder.”

"Alas! The tavern's business doesn't rely on selling alcohol. I don't mind if there are no customers when it gets colder, but the problem is that if it gets colder, there won't be enough charcoal to burn. I went to the market yesterday and saw that the price of smokeless alcohol has increased by nearly half, and the inferior ones have increased by 30%."

Roye kept talking, while Urusos listened to him expressionlessly.

As a devil born from a family of arrogance, what annoys him most is someone nagging at him, but he has no choice but to do so because Cardinson has given a death order that the Roye family must get along well with each other, otherwise Urusos would have treated this fat man as a snack.

None of the creatures in hell are easy to talk to.

They are naturally opposed to humans. If one survives, the other must die. Coexistence is completely impossible.

Luo Ye didn't know that the person sitting opposite him was a devil, and a celestial devil at that, a commander-level celestial devil, otherwise he would have fainted from fright.

But Urusos accepted Cardinson's order and forced himself to spend some time with Roye. He found it quite interesting. At least this fat man could help him understand more about humans.

There are some questions you don't even need to ask, as long as they don't involve information about other travelers and financiers, you just give the beginning and Roye can fill in the next few thousand words for you.

No wonder when Cardinson and Royer were getting along, they once suspected that Lao Guo had traveled through time.

"One gold coin." Urusus said.

"what?"

"One gold coin in exchange for charcoal for your family to burn during the winter, as well as food rations."

"Oh! That's what I've been asking for! Uru, you are still loyal! Unlike that kid Kaisen, he eats and lives at my side, but after becoming the Son of God, he doesn't even take care of me, his old brother. What an ungrateful bastard. But isn't one gold coin a little too little? How about five gold coins?" Roye was so happy that his fat was shaking. He quickly took out his purse from his pocket, carefully counted out five gold coins and placed them on the table.

Urusos just picked up one of them. He was not short of money. Cardinson left him enough gold coins, and with those he saved when experiencing life and doing tasks, it would be easy for him to become a small landlord in the countryside.

"It's just a deal."

The devil smiled arrogantly and continued eating hot pot.

Luo Ye over there got the advantage and spoke even more happily. In addition, he drank a few glasses of strong liquor, his face was flushed, and he looked like he was giving orders: "It's cold, but we won't be frozen. I see you are wearing so little, you are capable and not afraid of the cold. Now, this imperial capital has a population of one million, how many people can eat and dress as well as I do, or be as capable as you? If you ask me, if it gets colder, there will definitely be chaos. Don't disbelieve me. Although I haven't seen this, I can guess that as long as there is chaos in the imperial capital, there will be more chaos outside. Look at this city, doesn't it look like a big pile of firewood? Tsk, many people want to burn it down to survive the winter."

Ursus listened silently without commenting.

chaos?

A devil likes nothing more than chaos, the more chaotic the better.

But if even a commoner like Roye, who is not even a professional, can sense that there will be trouble, then wouldn't anyone in such a huge imperial city be able to sense it?

"I'm full." Urusos picked up a handkerchief he brought with him and wiped his mouth, then stood up and walked out, his figure as slender as a crane.

Although he is not an ordinary nobleman, he has a kind of awe-inspiring nobility.

"Hey! Where are you going in this cold winter? It's snowing heavily and there's nothing to do. Why don't you take a rest?" Luo Ye yelled.

Urusus held up an umbrella and said with a smile, "I'll get you some firewood."

Also, look around the city for places where we can start a fire.

It is really cold today.

Chapter 147 A Hidden Mission from Twenty Years Later

"Oh!"

Cardinson, who had just come out of the graduate school, punched the big tree at the door in annoyance, causing layers of snow to fall, but not a single drop of snow could touch him.

As the Son of God, he now has a free hand in the imperial capital. As soon as he entered the graduate school, someone came up to welcome him.

The person who was to receive him naturally couldn't be too low in rank, so the graduate school sent its vice-president, who was also an old acquaintance of Cardinson's before, Jera Feng.

Cardinson didn't expect that this mean old man was the vice-president, but since he needed help, his attitude was naturally good.

At first, they exchanged compliments, one saying that the other was getting younger and younger, the other saying that the other had reached the Templar Knights at such a young age and had a bright future.

After finishing a pot of tea in a boring conversation, Cardinson finally couldn't hold back and took the lead in explaining the purpose of his visit.

It's nothing more than a research report from the graduate school about climate change this winter.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I can tell you responsibly that this is indeed the coldest winter in the past thirty years, but as long as the temperature continues to drop, in about four days it will become the coldest winter in a hundred years. According to our speculation, this is not a sudden change. There is a large-scale cold wind from the Far North that is moving southward, sweeping across the entire empire."

Jera Feng would naturally not hide such a small matter from Cardinson, and he said bluntly that their people were already on their way to the Frozen Forest. After all, that was the northernmost part of the empire.

But some things were still not made clear, and Cardinson also guessed roughly from the other party's words -

Does the Frozen Forest count as the Far North?

Calculate.

What about the area further north of the Frozen Forest?

This involves the biggest secret of the Canglan Empire. Very few people know about it, because only those who can pass through the frozen forest must be strong people at the peak of the second level. And only people in the royal family know how to pass through the frozen land with invisible boundaries and find the secret place.

Ah, it's a secret to others, but not to Cardinson.

Please, do you think the title "Hunter of the Frozen Forest" is a joke? It requires Cardinson to kill ten gold-level monsters in it and successfully reach the frozen land.

And Sister Tian's [Hunting God of the Frozen Forest] is even more amazing. It requires killing ten gold-level monsters and completing the hidden task [Lonely Souls in the Frozen Soil]. The only way to obtain it is to hand over something you find to the royal family of the Blue Empire.

[Qie Sui Ying Xing] and [Yu Tianxian] have a close brother-sister relationship, so they naturally know what this [Lonely Soul in the Frozen Soil] is.

The tomb of the founding emperor of the Cang Lan Empire is buried in the frozen soil, but his soul did not go to the kingdom of God, but was sealed there forever, accompanied by some terrifying creature.

The hidden mission is to find the tomb of Emperor Shen'en and obtain the token from a thousand years ago.

The reason why Cardinson didn't complete this task was because it was a single-player dungeon. Everyone knows what the Shadow Knight is like. At that time, he was almost defeated by the sea-like army of wandering souls.

In a one-on-one situation, the Shadow Knight is not afraid. In a one-on-many situation, even ten Shadow Knights will be useless.

His skill mechanism is not used for clearing maps!

There are less than five people who have completed this task in the entire game. They are all top players in various clubs and have always been at the top of the list.

According to Sister Tian, there will be follow-up tasks, but we will definitely have to wait for the version to be updated.

Cardinson naturally died before the version was updated, so there is nothing to talk about, but he also has enough information.

Because there is a stone tablet outside the tomb of Emperor Shen'en, with a sentence engraved on it - "When the real winter comes, it will come back with endless rage."

I don’t know what’s going on, but this “cold winter” that was supposed to come twenty years later seems to have hit early.

Cardinson was anxious.

Now, within the Blue Empire, how many people can reach the level of [Jade Celestial]? Not to mention [Jade Celestial], how many people can beat [Qie Sui Ying Xing], ten? At most, if we count those hidden masters and other miscellaneous things, there will be twenty at most!

Does that make sense?

He had seen the armies of wandering souls on the frozen land. Each of them was basically at around Lv. 50. These were prepared for the players, not for the Blue Empire.

The problem is that right now, there are no players.

Whether there will be any later, Cardinson has no idea.

Hope is just speculation, hope is just speculation.

After leaving the graduate school, Cardinson walked on the street, feeling extremely depressed.

Ever since he traveled through time, the original timeline and the things that happened were either advanced or delayed, gradually deviating from the development process he knew, and there was a tendency for them to run away further and further.

Why did this change happen?

Is the butterfly effect already so strong?

Cardinson is a kind-hearted person, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious now. He rushed back to the Vatican. This matter must be made clear to His Holiness the Pope, otherwise there will be big trouble.

The interior of the Grand Academy.

An intellectual beauty in a loose robe was walking out of the library, and the students who saw her bowed and greeted her.

"Hello, Mr. Burton."

Hathaway Burton responded with a smile. Although the music theory and poetry she taught were relatively unpopular subjects, her gentle personality and beautiful looks made her very popular in the graduate school, and she had countless suitors.

When she walked into the hall, her delicate nose moved and she smelled a smell that she extremely hated.

The divine power was so incredibly pure that she was able to capture it even when it was so thin.

Hathaway stretched out her senses slightly and casually stood near two female students who were on duty cleaning here, eavesdropping on their conversation.

“Ahhhhh, I really want to scream a few times right here, did you see it? Did you see it?”

"I saw it, I saw it! I almost cried just now! The Holy Son of the Holy See is so handsome, so handsome."

The conversation between the two love-crazy girls was accurately heard by Hathaway, allowing her to know the source of the smell.

Holy Son of the Vatican

The Cardinson Pine that he had been keeping an eye on.

"Did he notice it, too? But how can the Vatican stop this good show?"

Hathaway smiled and left the academy as if nothing had happened.

Without her noticing, a handsome and proud man happened to pass by with an umbrella, looking in the direction of the graduate school in surprise.

"How come I can sense the aura of the Jealous Clan here? Is there really something wrong with my perception? It was the same last time I was on the boat. This is weird, really weird."

Chapter 148 Bach's Troubles and Confessions

Since the incident caused by Tina in the Vatican that day, there has not been any huge impact, just like a stone thrown into a deep pool, creating a few ripples and then disappearing silently.

The only one who could be said to have suffered from sequelae was Bach Ellis.

This good old cardinal became somewhat taciturn and often sat alone, not knowing what he was thinking about.

No one asked them what they saw in the field constructed by the law of greed. After all, this is an extremely personal thing. No one can be truly free of desire. The stronger the obsession, the deeper they fall.

Tina was taken by Carol, who was in charge of the Department of Doctrine of the Faith and the Department of Inspection, and was scanned up and down with divine power at least a hundred times. After finding that there was no problem, he attributed the problem to external factors. His Holiness the Pope was of course furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the internal personnel who colluded with the outside world. This time, a group of parasites were accidentally cleared out, but the number was limited.

In the end, we didn’t find out what caused the law of greed.

After all, after Cardinson woke up, the first thing he did was to take away the white round bead buried in the fireplace. He was also very curious about how the fragment of the law of greed appeared here, but for Tina's sake, he did not make it public, but kept it silently.

Even the current Cardinson did not dare to openly bring Urusos into the Vatican. After all, this was under the Pope's nose, and he could be caught red-handed if he made any movement. If the Holy Son of the Vatican signed a master-servant contract with a creature from Hell, it would be a lot of fun if the news got out.

But the white ball is different. There is no residual soul of any hell creature in it. It can be placed on the storage belt to conceal the breath.

Putting aside the fact that the temperature was getting colder, the first thing Cardinson did after returning to the Vatican was to see His Holiness the Pope.

No one dared to stop him along the way, and he was not stopped until he reached the door of the room where the Pope lived, where he was stopped by Bach.

After careful consideration, I learned that His Holiness the Pope seemed to have received an oracle and went into seclusion to meditate, which was about the coldness of the entire territory.

Cardinson thought that the high God was finally in charge, so he went out with Bach.

"Since then, I have always wanted to talk to His Majesty the Son of God, but unfortunately I have never been able to open the mouth." Bach still looked as welcoming as ever, but the "spring breeze" at this moment was a little bleak.

The two of them sat down in a small pavilion, without any tea set, and watched the snow falling together.

Cardinson's attitude was very humble and he admired the cardinal from the bottom of his heart.

"If you want to talk to me about something, just tell me directly. If there is anything I can help with or give you advice, I will do my best."

"You're so smooth, are you trying to do that to me?" Bach shook his head and scolded with a smile.

Cardinson chuckled and didn't feel embarrassed.

After he started like this, Bach's tone became a little more relaxed. "When I woke up that day, I learned that you were the first to break free from your desires and save us. It's really ridiculous and lamentable. You have practiced hard for a hundred years, but you can't even break through that little fantasy and are addicted to it."

Cardinson said solemnly: "The realm created by the Law of Greed manifests what we desire most in our hearts. If it can be easily cracked, how can we be considered human beings?"

Bach asked back, "You broke through very quickly, while Rong Ke, Winnie and I are still struggling inside. This reminds me of the awakening ritual I performed on you before. You were also the fastest one. Could it be that the more determined one is, the easier it is?"

"No. In my opinion, inner determination is only one point. You, Grandpa Rong Ke, and Captain Winnie are all people with inner determination. The most important thing is whether you are willing to face your own desires," Cardinson said boldly. "I knew what I wanted from the beginning, and I also knew whether I could satisfy those desires. Only by letting go can you pick up."

In fact, the simplest way to see through the realm of greed is just two words - trade-offs.

The reason why a powerful person like Bach, who is so close to the demigod level, is trapped in a half-finished field is simply that he can't let go.

The cardinal was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Do you want to know what I saw?"

"I am willing to listen to what you are willing to say, and I promise not to tell anyone else."
