C2076 After all he was old
The concepts of light and darkness were like a pair of twins who had come to this world at almost the same time. Although they were opposing each other, they relied on each other. After all, there was no light, and there was no darkness. And without darkness there would be no light.
Such an opposing and unified relationship was just like the Western Temple Of Light and Dark Temple.
Although these two powers had battled countless times in the hundreds and thousands of years of history of the west, the previous Pope and the previous Blood Emperor had never imagined that one day, they would be able to completely destroy each other.
Compared to these two, Asura Hall and the Sun Temple were much more threatening.
Of course, to the current Pope, this sort of mutually opposed but balanced relationship had already been ruthlessly broken a few days ago. And the one who had broken the balance was none other than the new rising of the Dark Temple, Blood Emperor Vivien.
After all, the older generation's Blood Emperor had withdrawn from the historical stage, and the new generation's position of Blood Emperor meant that there was bound to be a series of trade-offs between them. The instability of Dark Temple was a rare good thing for Temple Of Light.
Even though Vivien inherited the position of Blood Emperor, her cultivation and realm was still too weak. She was still far from being as mature and powerful as his father.
It was just that all of these things seemed to have deviated from the expectations and plans of the Temple Of Light.
No one would have thought that the new generation Blood Clan empress, Her Majesty Vivien, would demonstrate her iron-blood methods the moment she ascended the stage.
Originally, his Blood Clan had been damaged from the battle of the Eastern Yunnan, and his vitality was greatly damaged. In this kind of situation, he should not use his weapons again. But His Majesty Vivien did the opposite. After ascending the throne, he immediately sent troops to capture the Orcs, and used a strong attitude to suppress the rebellion of the Orcs.
After that, she used some unknown method to quickly subdue the Dark Magic Division.
At this point, the three great factions within the Dark Temple had completely submitted to Empress Vivien. Even his father had never possessed such skills and abilities.
Of course, even if she were to unite the three major sects of the Dark Temple, it would not be a big deal. After all, there were many people in the Blood Emperor who had done this kind of thing in their past generations. This did not cause His Holiness to feel unease or panic.
And what really caused the Pope, who had the Temple Of Light, to feel unease and headache right now was that the people from the Dark Temple actually ignored the hundred year old taboo and appeared on the mysterious land in the east.
Not only that, but these races that could only crawl in the dark had obtained the power to walk under the sun.
This was the most dangerous situation for the Pope and Temple Of Light.
If one knew what being fearless of sunlight was, then it meant that the methods that the Temple Of Light s used in the past were no longer effective against Dark Temple. If both sides were to fight again, the Temple Of Light warriors would have no choice but to use their flesh to fight against them. This was simply an unimaginable matter.
Thus, for the sake of this point of breakthrough, the Pope of the Temple Of Light would naturally personally pay a visit to the Satan's Castle. After all, he understood why these insects in the darkness were suddenly unafraid of the sun.
Inside the Satan's Castle, there was still a mysterious darkness.
Although most of the Blood Clan and Orcs s no longer needed to walk in the dark night, they had long since grown accustomed to this thousand year old and wouldn't be able to change their habits in a short while.
In the deepest part of the fortress, in a large palace, Vivien was sitting in front of a classical long table, holding a knife and fork, elegantly slicing a steak on a silver plate.
It was as if from the day he could see the light of day again, Vivien no longer needed to feed herself. They did not need to use their blood to maintain their lives. At this moment, Vivien even felt that the fat, tender, and juicy steak in front of him was the real deal.
As the blade and fork moved rhythmically in his hand, Vivien's expression became more and more rich.
Slowly, she tilted her head and looked at the Pope sitting across from her at the end of the table. With a mischievous smile, she said, "His Holiness, this is the most fresh beef from the Angus Hunting Ground. What, is it not to your liking?"
Hearing Vivien's question, who had a smile on her face, the Pope laughed awkwardly.
Although Temple Of Light was also a religious sect, they were different from the two sects in the east. They did not prohibit their followers from eating meat or drinking wine, so as the Pope of Temple Of Light, Pandora s naturally did not have this much of a taboo.
Only, the current Pope was surprised that Vivien, the Blood Emperor, would actually eat cooked food, and even eat it with such relish. Looking at the entire Blood Clan, this was something completely impossible.
Slowly picking up the knife and fork by his side, the Pope was still frowning.
"Your Majesty, Blood Emperor is so humorous. Didn't you and your people always make a living out of food and blood? When did you start to eat the low grade food that only humans would eat?"
Vivien smiled lightly: "Low level? But I feel fine. "
After saying that, Vivien winked at the Pope.1
At this moment, the old man from Holy City was completely dumbfounded, he felt as though he had seen a fake Blood Emperor.
After cutting open a piece of tender beef that was seventy percent cooked, Vivien chewed like that, while her teeth remained smelt the fragrance. She once again looked at the Pope who had a strange expression, "Your Holiness, you probably didn't travel a thousand miles from the Holy City to come to my Desolate Land just to discuss about the item in the plate, right?"
Vivien's current attitude was soft but strong. With a word, she pointed at the Pope's weak point.
In fact, after fighting with his Temple Of Light for so many years, how could Vivien not know the purpose of the Pope's visit?
It was clear that the Pope had already received the news of him attacking the east, and had also learned that his clansmen of Dark Temple had obtained the ability to walk under the sunlight. This was probably something that the Pope would not allow, and was also what the Temple Of Light feared the most.
However, Vivien also knew that she couldn't tell these questions to the old man in front of him. Even if he asked, she wouldn't be able to tell him.
Therefore, the Pope's expression was rather strange right now. His slightly pale face only twitched twice, then laughed, "Your Highness Vivien is too modest. This Satan's Castle has been here since a thousand years ago. I did not come here to have lunch with His Majesty Vivien. I heard that His Majesty Vivien sent someone to the east a few days ago.
The current Pope could not use the sunlight to directly walk and do things, so he could only use a curved line to save the country, inquiring about matters of the east.
Vivien did not avoid or deny this, "That's right, I did send someone to the east. Why, does His Holiness feel that something is amiss?"
The Pope also never thought that Vivien would actually be so honest.
The Pope's expression immediately turned serious: "May I ask if Your Majesty Vivien is trying to start another Eastern and Western Holy War?"
Vivien put down the blade and fork in her hand, and took a sip of the red wine in her cup instead, and laughed: "It has nothing to do with the Sacred War, it's just a personal grudge. "His Holiness should be well aware that my father was born in the East. As his daughter, I naturally have to help him take back this debt of blood. This is a matter that is perfectly justified."
Saying that, Vivien laughed sinisterly, she tilted her head and looked at the Pope, "His Holiness has come here specifically to ask me about this, does he want to lend me a hand, or does he want to stop me? Or could it be that you want to take advantage of the time that my Blood Clan elite is out to seize my Satan's Castle? "
Vivien's continuous laughter was also half true and half false.
However, each question caused the Pope across the table to secretly sweat, and he could not help but feel anxious.
"His Majesty Vivien is too serious, how could I be one of those crafty people who took advantage of the situation to sneak in. I am just curious, to ask, to ask."
Although he said this, the Pope's demeanor betrayed his heart.
It was as if the Hierarch of Temple Of Light, the Pope, had a feeling of helplessness when facing this newly ascended Empress Blood Clan.
Although this was the first time Vivien had exchanged blows with the Temple Of Light and the Pope ever since inheriting the position of Blood Emperor, she was not at a disadvantage at all. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or aura, Vivien had steadily held the initiative, and this situation was something the Pope had never thought of before coming.
After a seemingly ordinary and useless lunch, the Pope gained nothing. He could only bring his heavy cavalry back to his lair's Holy City.
And at this moment, on the Satan's Castle, Vivien's elegant figure was just watching the Pope's aged figure gradually grow further and further away, while letting out a wave of disdainful laughter, "After all, he's old. Time is the greatest of heartlessness for you mortals, isn't it?"
