Chapter 532 Chapter 494 Tit for Tat (Part 2)

Groom immediately glanced at Prince Chen, and then said "hmm", he seemed a little surprised, but fortunately, in a hurry, he made a gesture of reaching out his hand to support his chin to conceal his emotional fluctuations, and said slowly : "What is your Majesty trying to say?" Paul XVI smiled slightly: "Is this the announcement about the 'No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World' that shocked the entire imperial capital just announced today?" After hearing this, Du Wei and Prince Chen glanced at each other at the same time, and couldn't help but think in their hearts: Could it be that I had a false alarm?The news of the old emperor's death has not been leaked, and the pope didn't come for this matter, but for the world's number one martial arts tournament?

This time, before Groom could speak, Prince Chen had already spoken first, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Father is not very clear about this matter. In fact, this matter was proposed by Duke Tulip. I also approve of the martial arts of the people of Roland mainland. I just don't know why His Majesty the Pope is interested in this matter?" Although he already recognized Paul XVI as the godfather, after calling "Godfather" in the opening scene, Prince Chen still called him "Your Majesty the Pope". When Paul XVI heard the words, he glanced at Du Wei with a smile: "Oh, it was the Duke Tulip who proposed it! This matter is indeed a whimsical idea. There has never been such an official martial arts tournament in the mainland for thousands of years. It was Duke Tulip who suddenly came up with such an interesting idea."

Prince Chen smiled: "Is this an idea? Although Duke Tulip came up with it, I have entrusted the specific matters to the Mainland Knights Association. I think, in terms of status, the Knights Association handles this kind of thing." , should be the most appropriate." After a pause, he asked again: "Your Majesty, are you here for this matter today? I really didn't expect that you would be interested in this kind of matter, Your Majesty." Paul XVI laughed, and a gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes: "It's not that I'm interested. I'm old, and I'm not a warrior. It's just that the interested people are those in our church. How many knights!"

As he said that, he turned his eyes to the knight commanders of the two holy knights sitting below, and then gave Du Wei a meaningful look: "Mr. The title of "No. 1 in the World" is really eye-catching! You see, although they are knights in the church, "Holy Knights" are also knights, right? Besides, whoever practices martial arts, who would Are you not interested in titles like 'No. 1 in the world'?" Du Wei immediately glanced at the two holy knights. Sure enough, the two middle-aged knights had serious expressions on their faces, obviously they were very concerned about this tournament—especially the title of number one in the world. !

The holy knight sitting on the left had dark skin on his face. Hearing this, he stood up, took two steps forward, and after bowing to salute, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! Your Royal Highness! Your Excellency the Duke of Tulip! We A holy knight is also a knight! And as a warrior, he also has the dignity of a warrior! If we can't let us holy knights participate in this world's number one martial arts tournament... Hmph, if someone wins the championship in the final, he can be crowned The title of number one in the world, and the title of the number one warrior in the mainland bestowed by the regent himself... If others don’t know, they may really think that he is invincible all over the mainland! Especially in the imperial capital! Who doesn’t know the sacred The glory of the Knights! But if this is the result, those who know will understand that our Holy Knights did not participate! But those who don’t know think that even our Holy Knights are inferior to others!"

After Du Wei listened, he smiled, glanced at the holy knight, and suddenly said, "Uh... Your Excellency, excuse me, may I ask you to be..." The black-faced knight blushed, and said in a low voice: "My name is Stegel, and I am currently the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights of the Temple of Light!" After Du Wei's reminder, this guy realized his impoliteness - when facing His Majesty the Emperor of the mainland, he said rashly without even reporting his identity, which is simply too rude. Du Wei asked again with a smile: "So, both of you are interested in participating in this tournament?"

Another eighth-level holy knight next to him immediately stood up and bowed to the emperor on the throne: "Your Majesty, my name is Randall, and I am currently the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights of the Temple of Light! I also request to get your majesty With your permission, participate in this conference! And..." "What else?" Prince Chen said lightly. "Also, we hope that the judgment of this conference will be authoritative and fair!" This Randall seemed to be a little more cunning than that reckless black-faced Stegel, looking squarely into Prince Chen's eyes, slowly Said: "Since it is a competition for the honor of number one in the mainland, how can it be child's play! I personally feel that... the strength of the Knights Association alone may not be able to undertake the important task of judging such a significant competition!"

Prince Chen sneered twice, and was thinking about how to refute - but what the other party said was quite reasonable.After all, everyone knows the decline of the Knights Association. From the perspective of the authority of the judgment, the weight of the Knights Association is indeed weaker. At this time, after Du Wei coughed twice, he attracted everyone's attention. He achieved his goal, and then he said: "Your Excellency, Knight Randall, what kind of judgment do you think is fair and authoritative?" Woolen cloth?" At this time, Pope Paul XVI suddenly said with a warm smile: "Since it is a matter of contending for the title of the number one warrior in this continent, which concerns the dignity of the empire, then I personally suggest that I should trouble His Majesty the Emperor!" He smiled profoundly The appearance of the test: "Your Majesty, you are unparalleled in martial arts. In the past, you personally led the army to fight in the Northwest. Moreover, you are also a warrior. I don't think anyone is more authoritative than you." !"

After a pause, he looked at Prince Chen who was about to speak, and the old Pope smiled slyly: "It's just a pity, Your Highness Chen, although you are the regent king, it's a pity that you are a magician. General Assembly, but unable to serve as judges." Prince Chen frowned even more. Du Wei was also on guard! How do you say it, and it's about the old emperor again?Did he know the pope, or did he not? Intentional or unintentional? Du Wei snorted, and immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, I don't think such a suggestion is appropriate." "Oh?" The Pope glanced at Du Wei.

Du Wei was confident and was about to speak eloquently. And at this time, the two children who had been sitting next to each other just now, who were whispering to each other and discussing something in low voices: Prince Charlie and Princess Karina, suddenly stopped talking, and they were in Du When Wei had just finished speaking, Prince Charlie suddenly coughed twice, and then stood up. On the ten-year-old face, although there is still a little immature, but the expression is very calm: "Your Majesty, father... I think what Grand Duke Tulip said is right, it is very inappropriate to do so!"

Prince Chen was slightly taken aback, seeing the son he regarded as his successor suddenly speak, with a calm and calm expression, he couldn't help but feel a little joy in his heart, and smiled: "Charlie, what do you want to say?" The little prince seemed to be encouraged. Although his immature voice was not loud, the words were clear. He bowed to the Pope first, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, father... grandfather is the emperor of the empire. ! As the emperor of the empire, he maintains the majesty and authority of the empire! And the status of the emperor is so noble, how can he be judged by others casually!" That Randall immediately retorted: "Your Highness, it is precisely because of His Majesty's status as the Emperor that if it is used as a judge, it can highlight its authority!" Charlie smiled. He looked at the holy knight in front of him and said slowly: "Your Excellency, Grand Knight Commander, let me ask you a question first: Is there only one judge in this tournament?" "This...Naturally there can't be only one person. To be fair and objective, I think there should be several authoritative judges..." "That's it!" Little Prince Charlie looked cold, interrupted the other party's words unceremoniously, and said coldly: "Your Excellency, Grand Knight Commander! Do you dare to despise the Emperor of the Empire? In your eyes, don't take Does the royal family care about it?" Randall was stunned for a moment. Although he was only facing accusations from a little ten-year-old boy, the other party was the prince after all, and the regent was in front of him. How could he bear such accusations?Quickly said: "Of course not! How could I have that kind of thought!" "But you suggested that His Majesty the Emperor be the judge, and at the same time, you think that the judge needs several people to be the judge! Huh, Your Excellency the Knight Commander! What kind of status is my grandfather! How can the majestic Emperor of the Empire be on a par with others!! On this continent , who is qualified to sit on an equal footing with the emperor?!" Randall was speechless for a moment. Indeed, if there are several judges, one of them is the emperor... Wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that the other judges are qualified to be on par with the emperor? What a sin! Du Wei was also a little surprised, because what little Prince Charlie said was exactly what he wanted to say just now! At his young age of ten years old, he was able to find such a loophole in the other party's words in a short time... It is not easy! Paul XVI looked at this calm young man, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and couldn't help thinking: Why can the Augustine family produce so many young talents?This Prince Chen is like this, his son is so young, he has such quick wit!But in my church, it’s all a bunch of… Sigh. Although he sighed in his heart, the Pope smiled slightly, and said softly, "Your Highness, it's actually not difficult to solve. I think as long as some adjustments are made to the jury, for example, there is a jury in the city, and His Majesty the Emperor serves as the chairman of the jury. That's it." Unexpectedly, Prince Charles had thought of this proposal a long time ago. He bowed to the Pope and smiled, "Your Majesty, this is the second problem I just thought of!" The little prince smiled calmly: "Because my grandfather is the emperor of the empire, I think he is absolutely not suitable for judging work! This is not a question of authority, but of status!" The Pope frowned: "The competition for the title of the number one warrior in the mainland is all knights... Knights have a noble status, and this kind of competition will not insult the status of His Majesty the Emperor." Who knew that Prince Charles laughed: "Your Majesty, you are neither a knight nor an aristocrat, so I am not surprised that you have such wrong ideas." "Bold!" Prince Chen's face immediately changed, and he reprimanded, but there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes. "Presumptuous!!" The two holy knights next to him also shouted. Little Prince Charlie bowed his head to his father and said, "Yes, Father." But then he turned his head and said coldly to the two holy knights: "What did you just say!" Two majestic eighth-level knights, the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights, seemed to be stunned for a moment when facing such a ten-year-old boy. Then I saw little Prince Charlie coldly said: "You are the ones who are presumptuous!! Two knights, I think you have forgotten your identities! I ask you to remember that this is the palace! And my identity I am a child of the royal family, the grandson of His Majesty the Emperor, and the son of the Regent of the Empire. I also have the title of Marquis of the Palace, and I am also a formally canonized prince! I must remind you two that I am a noble! I am a noble Nobles! What are your identities! When did 'commoners' have the right to reprimand nobles? I ask you to remember! Before you reprimand others, think about your own identities!" After hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help applauding in his heart. Looking at this little Prince Charlie, he suddenly couldn't help thinking: Damn it!Could this be the legendary aura of dominance?Domineering at a young age? But Du Wei didn't notice that Princess Karina, who was sitting next to her, was covering her mouth and giggling, her eyes were full of complacency and weird things...
