    The special envoy sent by the Pope of the Holy Light Empire is a scepter archbishop named Astor. Although the ecclesiastical rank of this scepter archbishop is not conspicuous among the high-level archbishops of the Holy Light Empire, Astor  The position of secretary to the Pope has clearly demonstrated his identity as a confidant of the Pope of the Holy Light Empire. Astor came this time to discuss with Zhang Tie the conflict between the two countries on behalf of the Pope of the Holy Light Empire.  of.  Regarding the identity of this special envoy, before Zhang Tie met him, Jinpeng Bank had already given a full explanation to the Holy Kingdom of Iceland.  On April 19, Astor took a Jinpeng Bank flying boat to the ice and snow wasteland. On the 20th, Zhang Tiecai met Astor in a pavilion in the garden of the Summer Palace.  According to diplomatic rules, after Astor came to St. Petersburg, he first met with Elder Gulas, who is responsible for foreign affairs in the Council of Cardinals of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. Although he met with the Council of Cardinals again, he then met with the Council of Cardinals.  Queen Aurora, from the second half of last year to March this year, the Holy Light Empire seized and intercepted some merchant ships of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland in the Western Continent and resolved the release and compensation issues of some businessmen who were arrested and imprisoned. Then she was in the garden of the summer palace.  I saw Zhang Tie among them.  Astor is in his 50s, slightly chubby, and has a warm smile. If it weren't for the robes of the Holy Light Empire he was wearing and the knightly fluctuations and aura faintly released from his body, such a person would simply look like  He is an ordinary bar owner.  All big shots are either handsome, ugly, perverted, have strange hobbies or outstanding temperaments. These are all plots in novels and stories. Zhang Tie also felt the same way when he was in Black Flame City.  But as his experience grew, Zhang Tie slowly discovered that this idea was completely nonsense.  Many people who can reach the position of important people are indeed unique and impressive in appearance or temperament, but Zhang Tie has seen the most.  Regardless of their strength, at least 80% of the big men above the knight level are definitely not that different from ordinary people in appearance.  Zhang Tie himself is not too outstanding in appearance.  To say that Yushu Lin's style is better than that of Pan An, these adjectives are probably still a little far away from Zhang Tie's.  Aster is also such a person. This person looks ordinary on the outside, but how can a person who can become a confidant of the Pope in a place like the Holy Light Empire and be relied upon by the Pope be ordinary?  When he first saw Astor, Zhang Tie was not blinded by the smile on Astor's face, but secretly reminded himself in his heart.  "Astor, the Archbishop of the Holy Light Empire and the Pope's Attendant Secretary, has met His Majesty!" When he saw Zhang Tie, Astor sincerely touched his chest with his right hand and bowed to Zhang Tie according to the rules.  "I am no longer a tsar. You can call me Zhang Tie or Master Qianji. Please sit down!" Zhang Tie asked Astor to sit down calmly.  Two people are sitting in a pavilion, surrounded by a pond and a garden. It is now April, which is the best time in the entire ice and snow wasteland and Gozdal Plain. In a few days, it will be Slavic in the ice and snow wasteland.  People¡¯s traditional flower-picking festival, although it has not yet come to the flower-picking festival, is in the garden of the summer palace.  But it was already full of all kinds of flowers. Roses, pansies, marigolds, and iris were blooming everywhere. Swarms of bees and butterflies were flying around in the garden and sitting in the pavilion.  You can feel the fragrance of flowers, which makes people's minds suddenly calm down.  "The secular crown worn on the head is certainly conspicuous and easy to put down, but the crown of faith built in people's hearts, although invisible, is immortal!" Astor said.  He came to Zhang Tie generously, sat down on the chair opposite Zhang Tie, and looked at Zhang Tie generously.  "Compared to Astor, Zhang Tie's sixteen or seventeen-year-old appearance and his reputation that has spread throughout the human race, which is inconsistent with this appearance, make Astor even more curious and eager to investigate.  Zhang Tie laughed and said, "This is well said. Intangible things are often more valuable than tangible things!" "I didn't say this, it was said by our Pope!" "In this way, we also  We have a common language. Your Majesty the Pope and I often value intangible things more than tangible things" Zhang Tie took the initiative to release a trace of sincerity in reconciliation. The so-called Sky Knights and Semi-paladins,  No matter what the rumors are outside, Zhang Tie knows that they are all false. In the conflict with the Holy Light Empire, he may be able to take advantage of the Holy Light Empire by surprise once or twice, but the Holy Light Empire¡¯s background is not the same.  It is too deep compared to the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. The two sides are not on the same order of magnitude at all. Moreover, the Pope of the Holy Light Empire is the true Knight of the Sky. The Holy Kingdom of Iceland¡¯s advantage in the contest with the Holy Light Empire cannot be maintained for a long time.  Yes, since the other party is willing to negotiate, this is what Zhang Tie wants to do.?.  While I still have a good card in my hand, I will strive for the greatest benefit for the Holy Kingdom of Iceland and also solve the threat of the Holy Light Empire. Otherwise, there will be an enemy like the Holy Light Empire standing by and staring at the ice and snow wasteland at any time. Even if  Zhang Tie took Aurora and the others back to Taixia, not worried about the ice and snow wasteland.  At this time, there is really no need for both sides to fight to the death.  For a powerful enemy like the Holy Light Empire, just being soft will not suffice. The enemy will swallow you whole, with no hair left, even if you are completely hard, these people who have been brainwashed by religion will jump at the wall in a hurry.  , can do anything, can beat the opponent until he vomits blood, and can knock the opponent down without completely breaking his face. This is the way to get along with the Holy Light Empire. You have to fight, but you have to fight without breaking!  Zhang Tie's words really made Astor's eyes light up. This time he came to the ice and snow wasteland, and the task Astor shouldered was actually not easy. To the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Kingdom of Iceland was just a small sesame seed.  This little sesame, the whole mess caused by that bastard Occam of the Eastern Diocese and his men, will eventually involve the honor and reputation of the entire Holy Light Empire, and may even cause His Majesty the Pope to get into trouble.  A powerful enemy at the level of Sky or Semi-Saint asked His Majesty the Pope to come and wipe his butt. You can imagine His Majesty the Pope's anger.  "In the Holy Light Empire, the power of the Holy Light Archbishops in each major diocese is very great. There are many things that can be made within the diocese without the consent of His Majesty the Pope. This time, the Eastern Diocese  The expedition to the Holy Kingdom of Iceland was definitely not His Majesty¡¯s intention, and it was also a regrettable mistake. His Majesty the Pope was also very angry about this result! ¡°I also believe that from the perspective of the Holy Light Empire, His Majesty the Pope would not do it for Holy Iceland.  There is so much war going on in such a small kingdom" Zhang Tie also said with a smile.  What Aster said is indeed somewhat true. The Holy Light Empire¡¯s expedition to the Holy Kingdom of Iceland is powerful.  They all come from the eastern diocese of Commander Occam, because the Holy Kingdom of Iceland is too small, and there is basically no chance of any surprises in such conquests and wars, even if the Pope knows about it.  He doesn't care at all and will completely acquiesce to the actions of the Eastern Diocese. However, once this action fails, the result will not be what the Pope wants to see.  "Occam bears unshirkable responsibility for this matter" "I think so too!" "The Holy Light Empire will not avoid Occam's mistakes, but His Majesty the Pope also wants to know whether Occam is now  He is still alive. If he is alive, can the Holy Kingdom of Iceland hand him over to us?" Astor stared into Zhang Tie's eyes and said.  Confirm whether there is really a firmament behind the sacred kingdom of Iceland.  If Occam is alive, bring Occam back. This is one of the main purposes of Astor coming to the ice and snow wasteland this time.  Regarding this issue, Zhang Tie has already known something about it.  Zhang Tie shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know if Occam is still alive. That day, in the crisis, Occam showed powerful abilities and fled the battle at a speed of about eight times the speed of sound.  "Flying towards the northwest of the ice and snow wasteland, Occam's speed was too fast. Eight times the speed of sound made it difficult for the Sky Knight to catch up" Aster's eyes suddenly lit up, Occam took control of his life.  The secret of light.  Only the secret method of the light of life can allow Occam to escape St. Petersburg at such a speed in times of crisis. His Majesty the Pope said that the flying speed of Occam's light of life is about eight times the speed of sound. This secret, even if  In the Holy Light Empire.  Only a few people know that Zhang Tie can accurately tell the flying speed of Occam's Light of Life, which is definitely not made up. It can allow Occam to use the Light of Life to escape. Then, at least, behind the Holy Kingdom of Iceland  It should be true that there is a Knight of the Sky sitting in charge. Besides the Knight of the Sky, who else can make Occam use the light of life to escape in a hurry?  After using the light of life to escape from St. Petersburg, Occam has not contacted His Majesty the Pope until now. It seems that his life and death are really uncertain. If not he was seriously injured in the battle with the Sky Knight and reached the critical point of life and death, Occam would not  By using such a secret method, you can fly into the frozen continent in the northwest direction of the ice and snow wasteland. It is a vast no-man's land, far away from the sphere of influence of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, making it impossible for people to even search. This is also in line with the arcane  Cam was thinking.  "I don't know about the Knight of the Sky who is in charge of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland" Astor asked a question carefully. "That's a friend I met in the Earth Yuan world before. We have been friends for a long time. His reputation is not obvious, and his personality is not good."  He's a little weird, he likes peace and quiet, and he's currently retreating somewhere in the ice and snow wilderness" Zhang Tie looked serious, and what he said was true.  Various thoughts were running through Aster¡¯s head.After a circle, Astor's hand moved, and suddenly an extra scroll appeared. He put the scroll on the table and handed it to Zhang Tie, with a sincere look on his face, "This is a little bit of His Majesty the Pope's thoughts and wishes."  Expressed that His Majesty hopes that this gift can be used to show that the Holy Light Empire has no ambitions for the territory of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, and that it can also eliminate the misunderstanding between the Holy Kingdom of Iceland and the Holy Light Empire" Zhang Tie opened the scroll and found something  I was surprised to find that on the scroll, there was actually a map. The name of the map marked the Fadilan Province of the Holy Light Empire. The Fadilan Province is a piece of land in the southwest corner of the Western Continent, far away from the Holy Light Empire.  The province of Fadilan is adjacent to a country called the Barbarian Alliance to the northeast, and to the northwest is another powerful Republic of Ressa in the Western Continent. There is a coastline to the south of this land, and the area on the map is about 1,000 square meters.  More than 10,000 square kilometers, which is about half the area of ??the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, but it is definitely larger than Zhang Tie's Candle Dragon Territory. Of course, this area of ??land is as small as sesame seeds and apples compared to the Holy Light Empire and the Western Continent.  The gap between Mopan and Mopan can only be regarded as a small country in the Western Continent.  Zhang Tie raised his head and looked at Astor.  "This is an enclave obtained by the Holy Light Empire decades ago, far away from the Holy Light Empire's territory. The area is not large. From now on, this place will belong to you, Master Qianji" Zhang Tie looked at Aster carefully.  seconds.  A smile appeared on his face, he put away the scroll and stretched out his hand, "The Holy War is now. Peace should be the common aspiration of the human nation. Let the past be forgotten" "Pa" Astor  Smiling and high-fiving Zhang Tie.   Less than half an hour after Astor left the garden of the Summer Palace, Zhang Tie obtained the information about this "gift" sent by the Holy Light Empire from Jinpeng Bank. The predecessor of Fadilan Province  , is the Fadilan Empire in the Western Continent. Since the Holy Light Empire used various means to "voluntarily merge" with the Holy Light Empire sixty years ago.  And after the royal family of the Fadilan Empire was subsequently extinct, this land became the Fadilan Province of the Holy Light Empire.  But for the past 60 years, there have been constant troubles in this land. It turned out that the nobles of the Fadiland Empire continued to rebel with the secret support of the Barbarian Alliance and the Republic of Ressa. The pastors and high pastors of the Holy Light Cult were here.  Assassinations have almost become normal. For the sake of face and dignity, the Holy Light Empire has been working hard to maintain the rule of this land and has never completely digested this land. This time there is a chance.  The Holy Light Empire just threw this piece of useless stuff out of the blue to calm the conflict with the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, killing two birds with one stone.  Zhang Tie didn¡¯t care about the Holy Light Empire¡¯s intentions. In Zhang Tie¡¯s view, the most valuable thing about this land was that it gave him a springboard and base to enter the Western Continent.  And more importantly, the land of more than 10 million square kilometers is really not that small in terms of area.  Although the fertility of that land is lagging behind in the Western Continent, its foundation should be much better than that of the Ice and Snow Wasteland.  This conflict with the Holy Light Empire was really profitable.  Unlike the ice and snow wasteland, which belongs to various Slavic tribes, Zhang Tie obtained this land from the Holy Light Empire.  From beginning to end, Zhang Tie relied on his own ability to obtain it, without using any soldiers of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. The Holy Light Empire also specified that this land should be given to Zhang Tie instead of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. Naturally, this land  land.  It also belongs to Zhang Tie's private property.  Zhang Tie doesn't care about the current situation of Fadilan Province, nor does he care whether he can effectively rule this land now. Since the Holy Light Empire gave this land to him, then, legally speaking,  He and his descendants are already the owners of this land, and no one can replace it. As long as he wants, he can take back everything in this land legitimately at any time.  That night, Zhang Tie gathered his women and children in the ice and snow wasteland, like a family gathering, and put the map and the corresponding certification documents left by the Holy Light Empire in a room in the summer palace.  Point it out to his children and tell everyone, "Andre is your brother, and the Holy Kingdom of Iceland is what I left to Andre. When you grow up, if you want land, then this  I will leave you a piece of land in the Western Continent. It is regarded as a fiefdom I gave you. How much you can take depends on your ability. If you are not able to keep what I give you, then don't have any other ideas.  Let¡¯s just live a happy life in peace.¡± For Alexander and the others, what Zhang Tie said was half-understanding, but Zhang Tie¡¯s women all looked at each other and agreed.  nod.  Zhang Tie has too many children. As mothers of Zhang Tie's children, at this time, they have to consider the future of their children. ?¡­ ?The current peace with the Holy Light EmpireAfter that, Zhang Tie stayed in St. Petersburg for more than a month.  Whether it is Olina or Aurora, they are returning to Taixia with Zhang Tie this time. Although they will not leave forever, they also have long-term plans for going this time. They are in the ice and snow wasteland and Ewenda.  There are many things to be dealt with in the La Islands, and they are not going alone with Zhang Tie. They each have to bring some people with them. It will take almost a month to sort out these things.  On May 9, at Zhang Tie's request, Jin Quandao drove a Tianyun-class flying boat given to Zhang Tie directly to the Summer Palace in St. Petersburg. When the flying boat arrived, everyone in the Summer Palace gathered  In the square, I watched the huge spaceship slowly descend from the sky.  This Tianyun-class flying boat was specially made by Jin Quan Dao for Zhang Tie. In terms of specifications, it is already the first-level vehicle for the governor of Taixia and the elders among the seven major sects. Zhang Tie had won it from Taiyi Xuanmen before.  This airship is also a Tianyun-class airship. Regardless of its specifications or internal luxury, it is second to none among all airships.  The arrival of this airship naturally caused another sensation in St. Petersburg. Such a large airship has been seen by very few people in the entire ice and snow wasteland, let alone aboard it. Not to mention Zhang Tie¡¯s women and children, even the cardinal elders  All the elders of the regiment came to visit the flying boat one by one This new flying boat is the new Iron Dragon.  A week after the Iron Dragon arrived in the ice and snow wasteland, Zhang Tie took Aurora, the others and their children and set off for Taixia That is to say, Zhang Tie settled the matters in the ice and snow wasteland and returned to Taixia.  In this month, Taixia's most serious crisis since the Holy War finally broke out (To be continued.)
