Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 88

Master Raymond knew the Pope and the relationship was so good that the other party would come to visit him, which can be regarded as scaring Wei Wei.

That is the Pope, the supreme leader of the church, the spiritual leader of the whole of Europe, and his power and status even surpass that of the kings of various countries.

And Master Raymond was just an alchemist who was born into a small nobleman and was expelled from the Royal School. I don't know how he knew the Pope.

"We are an old friend." Master Raymond explained: "Giulio used to work in medicine, and he served in the church in the capital for a while. At that time, I was just teaching at the Royal Academy. I met when I was seeking medical treatment in the church."

The current Pope Julio is also an alchemy fan, and Master Raymond is indeed a genius in this regard. Since they found out that they can talk to each other very well, and many points of view are the same, the two have become good friends, even though Julio later The royal capital was transferred to another country, and they kept correspondence. Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, the friendship still existed.

Wei Wei wanted to regret it very much. It was not an easy task to host a pope. It was not an exaggeration to show the pomp of entertaining a king. There were many special precautions. With the current situation in Sardinson County, many things had to be kept secret. of.

So she didn't want the Pope to come at all.

She tried to go back on her decision: "It's not easy to receive the Pope. As far as I know, the crown prince should not be in Prady. Should he go to the capital if he wants to come? If you want to meet him, I can give you a break."

Master Raymond is indeed a master in the professional field, but he lacks roots in the world, otherwise, with his knowledge and ability, he would not have been expelled just by an experimental explosion.

So at this moment, he didn't hear Wei Wei's obvious rejection at all and said rudely: "Oh, he isn't in Prady, it's just that Julio is going to visit several countries recently, and Prady is one of them. , they travel by boat and pass through Sardinson on the way."

The headquarters of the church is in Rome, the capital of Italy, in the middle of the Apennine Peninsula (also known as the Italian peninsula), in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and two other islands, Sicily and Sardinia, divide the Mediterranean into the Eastern Mediterranean and the Western Mediterranean, while Prada. The Empire is located in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the distance between Rome and Rome is barely across the sea. If the Pope travels, it is naturally the most convenient way to travel.

A special point to note here is that in Wei Wei's world, the Mediterranean Sea was only linked by the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean before the 19th century, and the east was closed. one.

Until the Suez Canal was completed, it opened up the sea route from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, and then from the Red Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

But in this parallel world, the Eurasian continent is completely disconnected, and the disconnected continent has allocated itself a "Suez Canal", so the Mediterranean Sea has been connected to the Red Sea from the very beginning. China's Maritime Silk Road has already entered the Mediterranean Sea.

Closer to home, since the Pope will pass by Prady, or by land and sea, their route should be to go to a coastal country further east than Prady.

This gave Wei Wei a good excuse, she said directly: "Saddinson has no port and cannot receive them."

This is the truth. Although they are planning to build a port, it is only Wei Wei and Felix's idea so far. The construction has not yet started, and even if it is built, it will be a few years later.
