Hail the King Chapter 1199.1

Chapter 1199: Pope? Prisoner? (Part One)

“Child, you should ditch your old opinions of the Holy Church and re-evaluate the church. After all, you are a member of the Holy Church. As the Bishop of the [Black-Cloth Shrine], are you going to look at the representative of the G.o.ds with judgment and hatred forever?” The Pope started to try to reason with the Human Emperor of the North with rare patience.

To many people, the Holy Church was admitting defeat to the Human Emperor of the North.

Of course, Fei's mind wasn't that simple. He clearly sensed that there was a hidden meaning to the Pope's words.

“Alright, enough talking. Tell me everything that you want to say.” Fei didn't want to play word games, so he stood up again abruptly after sitting down and stared at the Pope with his sharp eyes. “You invited me to come here and attracted many people's attention. You didn't do it just to say these things to me, right?

Seeing Fei's aggressive eyes, the Pope sighed and paused for a second, Then, he said, “Let's do it like this. I will let you meet a person first.”

Then, the Pope lightly waved his hand.

A series of crisp bells sounded in the flying G.o.dly palace of the Holy Church, and the rune-engraved bronze gate slowly opened. Three figures slowly walked out.

The two people on the two sides were G.o.dly knights. They were wearing silver armor and had white cross robes over their bodies. Although they were handsome, they looked determined and valiant.

The person in the middle was wearing a big white prisoner's uniform. He wasn't young, and his face looked quite old. Many wrinkles could be seen, and his muscles were loose, looking like a dispirited shar-pei. His grey long hair was messy like a bird's nest, and his eyes were turbid and yellow, full of red veins. Right now, a streak of faint-silver flames coiled around his wrists, looking like a rope.

[TL Note: Shar-Pei is a breed of dog known for the deep wrinkles and blue-black tongue. The breed originates from southern China.]

This person looked like a weak and ordinary old man. It felt like even wind could blow him onto the ground.

However, when this old man walked out of the flying G.o.dly palace, it was clear that all members of the Holy Church tensed up. As if they were facing a powerful enemy, their guards went up and didn't even dare to breathe.

“Who is this old man?”

“Why does it feel strange? How come the Holy Church is afraid of this old man? Why is he so important?”

“Don't underestimate him! The Holy Church is so concerned about him, and he is imprisoned inside the flying G.o.dly palace. He must be a significant figure! Perhaps he is a terrifying devil!”

“Eh, we shouldn't be fooled by his appearance… but… how come this old man feel a little familiar?”

The masters in the area talked among themselves and didn't know what the Holy Church was up to.

“Why did they escort out an arrested old man? Is he a key figure?” Some people stared at this old man and started to ponder as if they thought of something.

Fei's eyes also landed on this old man in a white prisoner's uniform.

Different from others, Fei clearly sensed an amount of terrifying energy inside this old man who looked weak and powerless. This old man was at least a G.o.dly king!

If this old man were anywhere else in the world, he would be a dominating ruler! Now, he was imprisoned by a magic method, and all his strength was sealed. The streak of silver flames around his wrists was a G.o.d-tier imprisonment device.

However, Fei couldn't recognize who this old man was.
