Chapter 317 Original Snake, Activate!

"grandfather?"

"..."

【Grandpa, grandpa! 】

"grandfather!"

"..."

St. Phelps didn't know why things turned out like this, or he didn't expect things to develop like this.

On such an early morning.

The current pope wears the robes and crown of the pope in the holy church.

Talk to the lord of the Northern Territory - the contemporary brave man and the devil.

Such a scene should be solemn, about the future of the world, and should even determine the direction of salvation.

It is a serious picture that is qualified to be passed down to countless generations after being painted into oil paintings.

It is a turning point in the future of the world.

But... why is this happening?

"..."

With such complicated thoughts, the Pope looked at the abyss dragon named Belsi, the slime on her head, and a girl in a mage robe.

And his own granddaughter.

These four... naughty kids.

Yes, if you want the Pope to sum it up, he is a naughty child. After provoking the Mermaid King, he ran away with a smile and came to an adult for help.

The Mermaid King was watching from a distance, wanting to come over and hit anyone at any time, but he was afraid of the Holy See's attitude and just watched.

"Ship...?"

The Pope repeated Belsi's request like this, and then nodded slowly: "Since... Nesta said so."

"Then... I can also send you a battleship... to help you send all the mermaids to the Northern Territory."

The Pope spoke slowly and with some emotion.

According to his opinion, his first meeting with the hero should be more serious, even tit-for-tat.

After all, he had decided to follow a different path.

Call it firm or stubborn...

Maybe the old people are blind and cannot see the end of the road, so they have to step onto the broken cliff themselves.

Maybe at the moment of falling, he will realize that he was wrong.

But until then, let him keep walking...

With the self-knowledge that "he is a stubborn old man", the Pope thought that he would quarrel with the brave man.

But the actual situation is different from what he thought.

Among them, my granddaughter, who had turned her elbows outward and inward, from the Violet Kingdom to the Anaconda Forest... played a big role.

Rather than so much as a matchmaker, it is better to say that he has completely sided with the Bersi Braves, and then asked Grandpa to help.

And it was difficult for him to refuse this request because of family ties...

Or maybe out of guilt.

"So, can Grandpa Pope help us prepare the manpower to sail the ship, supplies, etc.?"

Belch said this, making a very shameless suggestion, and the Pope didn't say anything, just nodded: "Okay."

Then, the Pope thought of something again and looked at Bel Xi slowly: "Aren't you going back to the Violet Kingdom for the time being?"

Yes, I won’t go back just yet.

"There are some things that need to be done in the Luofeng Empire, because my men came to buy snake scale powder. They bought it with gold coins and were robbed."

In response to Belsi's words, the Pope nodded thoughtfully, and then gently took off a gem from his scepter.

Then he handed it in the direction of Bel Xi.

"..."

Belsi looked at the old hand covered with a few snake scales, and showed a puzzled expression while taking the gem.

The Pope did not show any concern, but said slowly: "If you can investigate the main messenger of the robbery incident, show this to him..."

"..."

Belsi looked at the gem in his hand...

This is a bright red stone. After being separated from the papal scepter, it gradually began to develop thin chains, and finally turned into a pendant.

There is a small cross drawn in the center of the pendant.

"Snake scale powder?"

Bel Xi said hesitantly... Although it was somewhat different from the previous snake scale powder, he still had a slight desire to eat it.

There is no doubt that the true identity of this gem is revealed.

Regarding his words, the Pope did not mean to explain more, but simply said: "It is just a symbol of my identity, actually..."

Before the Pope could finish his words, the gem in Bel Xi's hand began to shine with a brilliance other than red in an instant.

It is a colorful, magnificent and gorgeous rainbow light.

"..."

In the silence, the Pope didn't say anything more, but just changed his words: "Then, you should be able to use the power of this snake scale powder."

"If the path of the brave fails first... you can come to me and try to pass on the faith that has gathered within me."

"That's it. Regarding the ship, I will make arrangements."

Saying unintelligible words, the Pope slowly left the church lobby and left everyone's sight through the small door.

【……】

[Nesta, what is your grandfather talking about? 】

Nananoshima Semu questioned this, and the only thing Nesta could do was to shake her head in thought.

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I don’t think it’s necessary to say it.

The brave will save the world, there is no doubt about it.

"Hmm~hmm~"

The mage girl made a deep sound. She thought about the old man's words: "It probably means... that I want my eldest brother to be my grandson-in-law."

Belsey: "..."

Semu Nananoshima: [……]

Nesta: "..."

【Wow! Don’t do that kind of thing! The eldest brother should wait at least ten years after I die to marry Nesta or whatever...]

"..."

Belsi looked at Nananashima Semu speechlessly, and gave her a dragon punch on the spot: "Don't go crazy here."

Seeing a circle of ripples appear on the soft gelatinous body, Belxi began to think about business...

Snake scale powder.

After Hai Lei, Shu Shu, Jin Sui and Karapel bought snake scale powder, they were snatched away by others... and then the mermaid guards arrived immediately.

There may be some connection.

After Nesta's grandfather heard about this incident, he silently gave him his token, indicating that... this incident may have something to do with the Holy See.

In fact, the person who did something similar might be Nesta's grandfather's cronies or companions.

It's just that he doesn't want to deal with this matter himself and can't decide how to deal with it. Now that he heard that the matter he wants to do is related to this, it just happens to be entrusted to him.

That's probably what happened.

Belsi, who was thinking like this, lowered his head and looked at the pendant in his hand: "The Pope said, I can use this snake scale powder... Zun Du fake Du?"

Doesn’t it mean that casual use of snake scale powder is bad for the body?

Sure enough, I still ate it in one bite. It would be better to strengthen my talent... After the snake scale powder [token] has used up its effect.

"Before that, Nesta, I will return your snake scale powder to you."

Belsi, who was thinking like this, took off the pendant belonging to Nesta from her neck, and then saw... Nesta kneeling gently in front of him.

Nesta stretched out her neck at this moment and closed her eyes gently, as if waiting for something.

Do you want me to put it on for her?

Semu Nananoshima: [……]

Mage girl: "..."

"..."

And I don’t know why, but I always feel like these two guys are looking at me very strangely... I feel sick to my stomach.

With this thought in mind, Belsi casually helped Nesta put on the cross pendant again, and then looked at Nesta who showed no reaction.

He patted her head again with his paw.

At the same time, in order to avoid embarrassment, she asked aloud: "Niesta, how do you usually use snake scale powder? What is the use of your grandfather?"

After all, the snake scale powder I saw before was weird.

It’s not that the snake scale powder itself is a monster, but these snake scale powders... let’s call them [users]~

Users of snake scale powder use snake scale powder in various ways.

Nesta simply opened the cross and activated it, Cuilan wanted to take the breath... and others wanted to pierce the snake scale powder into their bodies.

It's like thorns pricking oneself with an insect arrow.

"About this... I don't want you, Belsi, to use the power of snake scale powder."

Nesta said this as always, but after a moment of silence, she added: "But regarding the question just now..."

"If you want to use the snake scale powder, you need to be illuminated by the snake scale powder, and then it depends on the compatibility between the holder and the snake scale powder."

Nesta said this, saying what Kailin had explained before: "Depending on the degree of fit, the snake scale powder will appear in different colors."

“In addition to the perfectly matched rainbow colors, from high to low – red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo and purple.”

"The lower the adaptability, the easier it is to go crazy when using it."

"Each piece of snake scale powder has different suitability for different people."

Nesta said, and then formally began to tell: "The higher the degree of adaptability, the less contact with the snake scale powder required to use power..."

"If it is red, then after using the snake scale powder for a period of time, you can still use it even if the snake scale powder is not around."

"..."

Just like Nesta before?

Then Belsey almost understands that if it is the lowest [Purple], then the snake scale powder must be inserted into the body.

"Then... shouldn't it be to the point where you can use it just by simply [thinking about it]?"

Bel Xi said this and simply shook the snake scale powder in his hand. He squinted his eyes when he saw the light reflected on the snake scale powder.

Finally, he shouted casually——

"Snake shed, appear!"

And then in the next moment...

"..."

Nothing happened.

"Cobra! Rider System!"

"..."

But still nothing happened

"?"

Belsi hesitated a little, and then under the gaze of other hesitant companions, he flicked the gem on his chest: "Is it broken?"

No one has an answer to this question.

Moreover, everyone except Nananoshima Semu was also a little curious as to what strange thing Belsi shouted just now.

[Brother, you can try "armor fusion"~]

Although it was just a joke by Semu Nananoshima, but...

"Armor fusion!"

"..."

"Give me power! I am Ciri!"

[Is this anime a bit dated? 】

"Friendship is magic!"

[It’s starting to develop in the direction of American comics...]

"..."

"strangeness."

Belxi sighed with emotion, and then began to give up the idea of ​​using the snake scale powder for the first time in a [regular] way.

Seeing Nanajima Semu and Nesta heaving a sigh of relief, Belsi also honestly let go of her hand holding the snake scale powder.

Nesta was worried that she could understand it, but she didn’t know why Nananashima Semu also looked relieved.

The fact that I cannot use snake scale powder properly may be related to the fact that I and Semu Nananoshima are time travellers.

Speaking of which, Semu Nananoshima doesn't know if he can use snake scale powder.

But that's what it says.

In fact, I can still vividly remember the situations in which I fell into madness after using snake scale powder.

Belsi was reluctant to let Semu Nanajima try something dangerous.

But if she really wanted to try, it wouldn't be easy to stop her.

"..."

So is this why Nananoshima Semu breathed a sigh of relief?

Have an idea with me?

After realizing it, Belxi felt that his emotional intelligence was a bit low, so he smiled and rubbed Nananoshima Semu: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

"Anyway, snake scale powder has other functions."

Belsi said this, and Semu Nananoshima also understood what he meant: [Oh, also... the permanent bonus to experience gain feels more useful than "Original Snake! Activate!" 】

God TM Original Snake is launched.

But Semu Nanajima is right.

"Then put the snake scale powder aside first."

The mage girl said that she had the idea of ​​lying on Belsi, but for the sake of her butt, she still sat on the church chair.

Afraid of being stabbed by the second sister.

"Hailei and the others said before that the auction house where they bought snake scale powder and was robbed is called the San Diego Auction House, right?"

Saying this, the mage girl looked a little guessing: "And it was robbed just after leaving the auction house."

Yes, that's the problem.

Whether it was the mage girl, Belsi, or Nananashima Semu, they had already seen the problem at that time.

That's efficiency.

Being robbed as soon as you get it... This is unreasonable.

Moreover, it is even more unreasonable for the Mermaid Guards to know the location just after they started investigating.

The former may need to be considered as a coincidence, but if the latter is considered... coincidence is not such a coincidence.

Bel Xi and the others did not think that Hai Lei, Jin Sui and others would be the kind of people who would expose their identities casually.

In other words, there was something wrong with that auction house.

Or it was infiltrated into the spy, or maybe there was something wrong with the existence of that auction house, no matter which possibility.

That auction house always has something to consider.

"Then the next step is to go to that auction."

Bel Xi said this and glanced at Nesta: "Semu and I are still hiding in the third sister's backpack, hiding our identities, but Nesta..."

In response to Belsi's words, Nesta lowered her head slightly, saying that she would obey his instructions at any time.

"Reveal your identity as much as possible... and contact the auction house with the most intimidating and high-end identity."
