The envoy sent by the Pope of the Holy Light Empire is a Great Shepherd of the Holy Light Empire, whose name is Aste, although the rank of the Great Shepherd of the Scepter is not conspicuous among the high-level shepherds of the Holy Light Empire, but the position of the secretary of Pope Astor's side has clearly indicated his identity as the confidant of the Pope of the Holy Light Empire.
Regarding the identity of this envoy, before Zhang Tie met him, Jinpeng Bank had already made a full explanation to the Holy Iceland Kingdom.
On April 19, Astor came to the Ice and Snow Wasteland on a Fortune Wings Bank flying boat, and 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 in charge of foreign affairs in the Council of Cardinals of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, although he met with the Cardinal Council again, and then met with Empress Aurora, who listened to the government, and settled the release and compensation matters of the Holy Light Empire's seizure and interception of some merchant ships of the Holy Iceland Kingdom and the capture and detention of some merchants on the Western Continent from the second half of last year to March this year, and then met Zhang Tie in the garden of the summer palace.
Astor was in his 50s, slightly chubby, with a warm smile on his face, if it weren't for the robe of the Holy Light Empire he was wearing and the knightly fluctuations and aura faintly released from his body, such a person would be like an ordinary bar owner.
All the big people, either handsome, ugly, or perverted, or have any strange hobbies or outstanding temperament, these contents are the plots of novels and stories, when he was in Heiyan City before, Zhang Tie also felt so, but with the growth of experience, Zhang Tie slowly found that this kind of thinking is completely nonsense, many people who can do the position of big people are indeed different in appearance or temperament, which is impressive, but Zhang Tie has seen the most, at least the big people above the knight level, If you don't care about strength, more than 80 percent of them will definitely not be very different from ordinary people in appearance.
Zhang Tie himself is not too outstanding in appearance, if you want to say that Yushu Lin's style is better than Pan An, these adjectives are estimated to be a little far from Zhang Tie.
Astor is also such a person, this person looks ordinary on the outside, but how can he be ordinary if he can become the Pope's henchman in a place like the Holy Light Empire, and is relied on by the Pope.
From the first glance of seeing Astor, Zhang Tie was not blinded by the smile on Astor's face, but secretly reminded himself in his heart.
"The Holy Light Empire's Holy See, the Grand Pastor of the Holy See, and the Pope's Attendant Secretary, Astor, has seen Your Majesty" When he saw Zhang Tie, Aster's sincere right hand stroked his chest and bowed to Zhang Tie according to the rules.
"I'm not a tsar now, you can call me Zhang Tie or Qianji Zhenren, please take a seat" Zhang Tie indifferently asked Astor to sit down.
The two of them sat in the gazebo, surrounded by a pond and a garden, it is now April, this is the best time for the entire ice and snow wasteland and the Gozdali plain, in a few days, it is the traditional flower festival of the Slavs on the ice and snow wasteland, although it has not yet reached the flower festival, but the garden of the summer palace has already been full of all kinds of flowers, roses, pansies, marigolds, irises bloom everywhere, groups of bees and butterflies fly around in the garden, sitting in the gazebo, You can feel the fragrance of flowers and calm people's minds suddenly.
"The secular crown worn on the head is certainly conspicuous and easy to put down, but the crown of faith established in people's hearts, although invisible, can be immortal," Astor said, generously came to Zhang Tie, sat down on the chair opposite Zhang Tie, and looked at Zhang Tie generously.
Compared with Aster, Zhang Tie's appearance of being sixteen or seventeen years old now and the reputation of the human race that does not match this appearance make Astor even more curious and inquisitive.
Zhang Tie laughed, "That's a good saying, intangible things are more valuable than tangible things in many cases."
"I didn't say this, it was our Pope His Majesty" "In this way, we also have a common language, and your Majesty the Pope, on many occasions, value the intangible more than the tangible."
Zhang Tie took the initiative to release a trace of sincerity for reconciliation, the so-called Sky Knight and Half Paladin, no matter what the legend is outside, Zhang Tie knows that it is all fake, in the conflict with the Holy Light Empire, he may be able to take advantage of the Holy Light Empire once or twice, but the background of the Holy Light Empire is too deep compared to the Holy Iceland Kingdom, the two sides are not an order of magnitude at all, and the Pope of the Holy Light Empire is the real Sky Knight, The Holy Iceland Kingdom's advantage in the contest with the Holy Light Empire cannot be maintained for a long time, and since the other party is willing to negotiate peace, this is also in Zhang Tie's arms.
Take advantage of the fact that he still has a good hand of cards in his hand, strive for the greatest interests of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, and also solve the threat of the Holy Light Empire by the way, otherwise there is such an enemy as the Holy Light Empire staring at the Ice and Snow Wasteland at any time, even if Zhang Tie takes Aurora and them back to Taixia, he is not at ease with the Ice and Snow Wasteland.
At this time, there is really no need for the two sides to break the net.
Against such a strong enemy as the Holy Light Empire, it is not enough to be soft, the other party will swallow you completely with even the belt and bones, there is not a single hair left, and it is not possible to be completely hard, these people who have been brainwashed by religion once the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, they can do anything, they can beat the other party to vomit blood, and they can give the other party under the stairs, not completely tear their faces, this is the way to get along with the Holy Light Empire, to fight, but 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, Astor's task was actually not easy, for the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Iceland Kingdom was just a small sesame, for this little sesame, the bastard of Occam in the Eastern Diocese and his subordinates caused a bunch of shit, and finally wanted to put the honor and reputation of the entire Holy Light Empire into it, and it was possible for His Majesty the Pope to provoke a strong enemy at the firmament or half-saint level, and let His Majesty the Pope help him wipe his ass, His Holiness the Pope's anger can be imagined.
"In the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Light Pastoral Authority of the major dioceses is very large, and there are many things that can be decided within the diocese without the consent of His Holiness the Holy See, and this Eastern Diocesan expedition to the Holy Kingdom of Iceland is definitely not the original intention of His Holency the Pope, and it is also a regrettable mistake, and His Holiness is also very angry about this result."
"I also believe that in the eyes of His Majesty the Holy Light Empire, he would not make such a big deal for such a small place as the Holy Iceland Kingdom," Zhang Tie also said with a smile.
What Astor said is indeed somewhat true, the power of the Holy Light Empire's expedition to the Holy Icelandic Kingdom comes from the Eastern Diocese under the command of Occam, because the Holy Iceland Kingdom is too small, and there is basically no surprise in such conquests and wars, even if the Pope knows, he doesn't care at all, and will completely acquiesce to the actions of the Eastern Diocese, but once this action fails, the result is not what the Pope is willing to see.
"Occam bears unshirkable responsibility for this" "I think so, too" "The Holy Light Empire will not shy away from Occam's mistakes, but His Majesty the Pope also wants to know if Occam is still alive now, and if he is alive, whether the Holy Iceland Kingdom can hand him over to us" Astor said as he stared at Zhang Tie's eyes tightly.
Checking whether there is a sky behind the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, and bringing Occam back if he is alive, is one of the main purposes of Astor's visit to the Ice Wasteland.
Regarding this problem, Zhang Tie has long had a belly case.
Zhang Tie shook his head and said indifferently, "I don't know if Occam is still alive, that day, in the midst of the crisis, Occam showed a powerful ability, and the whole person instantly escaped from the battle at a speed of about eight times the speed of sound, and flew towards the northwest direction of the Ice and Snow Wasteland, Occam's speed at that time was too fast, and the speed of eight times the speed of sound made it difficult for the Sky Knight to catch up for a while."
Aster's eyes lit up suddenly, Occam has mastered the secret method of the light of life, only the secret method of the light of life can allow Occam to escape from St.
Petersburg at such a speed in a critical situation, His Majesty the Pope said that the flight speed of Occam to cast the light of life is about eight times the speed of sound, this secret, even in the Holy Light Empire, only a few people know, Zhang Tie can accurately say the flight speed of Occam to cast the light of life, then it is definitely not made up, so that Occam can use the light of life to escape, then, The fact that the Holy Iceland Kingdom has at least one Sky Knight behind it should be true, except for the Sky Knight, who can let Occam use the light of life to escape in a hurry After casting the light of life to escape from St.
Petersburg, Occam has not contacted His Majesty the Pope until now, it seems that life and death are really uncertain, not that he was seriously injured in the battle with the Sky Knight to the point of life and death, Occam will not cast such a secret method, the northwest direction of the ice and snow wasteland can fly into the frozen continent, which is a vast no-man's land, which can be far away from the sphere of influence of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, making it impossible for people to even find it, which is also in line with Occam's heart at the time.
"I don't know the Knight of the Skies who sits in the Holy Kingdom of Iceland," Astor asked cautiously "That's a friend I met in the Earth Metaverse before, we are old friends, he has no reputation, his personality is also a little eccentric, he likes to be quiet, and now he is in retreat somewhere in the Ice and Snow Wasteland" Zhang Tie looked serious, and said it was the same as the real thing.
After all kinds of thoughts turned around in Astor's head, Astor's hand moved, and suddenly there was an extra scroll, he put the scroll on the table, handed it to Zhang Tie, with a sincere face, "This is a little heart and expression from His Majesty the Pope, Your Majesty hopes that this gift can be used to show that the Holy Light Empire has no ambitions for the territory of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, and it can also be used to eliminate the misunderstanding between the Holy Iceland Kingdom and the Holy Light Empire."
Zhang Tie opened the scroll and was a little surprised to find that on the scroll, it was actually a map, the name of the map was marked with the Holy Light Empire Fadilan Province, Fadilan Province is a piece of land in the southwest corner of the Western Continent, far away from the Holy Light Empire, the northeast of Fadilan Province is next to a country called the Barbarian Alliance, and the northwest is adjacent to another powerful Ressa Republic on the Western Continent, there is a coastline in the south of this land, and the area on the map is about 10 million square kilometers, It is about half the area of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, but it is definitely larger than Zhang Tie's Candle Dragon Leader, of course, compared to the Holy Light Empire and the Western Continent, this area of land is also the gap between sesame seeds and apples and the millstone, and it can only be regarded as a small country in the Western Continent.
Zhang Tie raised his head and looked at Aster.
"This is an enclave far away from the territory of the Holy Light Empire that the Holy Light Empire obtained decades ago, the area is not large, in the future, this place will be yours with a thousand machines."
Zhang Tie looked at Astor seriously for a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face, put the scroll away, and stretched out his hand, "At the moment of holy war, peace should be the common demand of the Terran countries, and let him pass the past."
"Smack" Astor smiled and high-fived Zhang Tie.
Less than half an hour after Astor left the garden of the summer palace, Zhang Tie also obtained the information of this "gift" from the Holy Light Empire from Jinpeng Bank, the predecessor of the Fadilan Province was the Fadilan Empire in the Western Continent, since the Holy Light Empire made the Fadilan Empire "voluntarily merge" the Fadilan Empire through various means sixty years ago, and then made the royal family of the Fadilan Empire extinct, this land has also become the Fadilan Province of the Holy Light Empire.
But for 60 years, there have been troubles in this land, it turns out that the nobles of the Fadilan Empire have been rebelling with the secret support of the Barbarian Alliance and the Resa Republic, and it has almost become the norm for the shepherds and great shepherds of the Holy Light Cult to be assassinated here, 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, just killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Tie didn't care about the intentions of the Holy Light Empire, in Zhang Tie's opinion, the most rare thing about this land was to give himself a springboard and base to enter the Western Continent.
And more importantly, the more than 10 million square kilometers of land, in terms of area, is really not small, although the richness of that land, although it is backward in the western continent, but the foundation should be much stronger than the ice and snow wasteland.
This conflict with the Holy Light Empire was really earned.
Unlike the Ice and Snow Wasteland, which belonged to the various tribes of the Slavs, the land that Zhang Tie obtained from the Holy Light Empire was obtained by Zhang Tie by relying on his own ability from beginning to end, and did not use a single soldier of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, and the Holy Light Empire also indicated that it would give this land to Zhang Tie instead of the Holy Iceland Kingdom, naturally, this land also belonged to Zhang Tie's private property.
Zhang Tie doesn't care about the current situation in Fadilan Province, and he doesn't care if he can effectively rule this land now, since the Holy Light Empire gave him this land, then, legally, he and his descendants are already the masters of this land, and no one can replace him, as long as he wants, he can get everything back in name to this land at any time.

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Tie gathered his women and children in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, like a family gathering, in a room in the summer palace, pointed out the map and the corresponding supporting documents left by the Holy Light Empire to his children, and told everyone, "Andrei is your brother, the Holy Iceland Kingdom is what I left to Andrei, when you grow up in the future, if you want land, then, this land in the Western Continent will be left to you, which is considered my fief for you, How much you can take depends on your ability, if you don't even have the ability to keep what I gave you, then don't have other ideas, just live a peaceful and peaceful life."
For Alexander, what Zhang Tie said made them seem to understand it, but Zhang Tie's women, everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Zhang Tie has too many children, and as the mother of Zhang Tie's children, at this time, she has to think about the future of her children.
After the reconciliation with the Holy Light Empire, Zhang Tie stayed in St.
Petersburg for more than a month.
Whether it is Olena or Aurora, they took their children to return to Taixia with Zhang Tie this time, although they will not go all the time, but this time, they also have a long-term plan, they have a lot of things to deal with in the Ice and Snow Wasteland and the Ewindara Islands, they are not going with Zhang Tie alone, they have to bring some people with them, and it will take almost a month to get these things sorted out.
On May 9th, at the request of Zhang Tie, Jin Quandao drove a Tianyun-class flying boat to Zhang Tie directly to the summer palace in St.
Petersburg.
This Tianyun-level flying boat was specially made by Jin Quandao for Zhang Tie, in terms of specifications, it is already the elder-level car of Taixia Governor and the Seven Great Sects, and the flying boat that Zhang Tie won from Taiyi Xuanmen before is also a Tianyun-level flying boat, both in terms of specifications and internal luxury, it is second to none among all the flying boats.
The arrival of this flying boat naturally caused a sensation in St.
Petersburg again, such a large flying boat, there are absolutely not many people in the entire ice and snow wasteland, let alone ride, not to mention Zhang Tie's women and children, even the elders of the cardinal elder group have come to visit the flying boat one by one This new flying ship is the new Iron Dragon.
A week after the Iron Dragon arrived in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, Zhang Tie took Aurora and his children and set off for Taixia That is, in the month when Zhang Tie got rid of the matter on the ice and snow wasteland and returned to Taixia, the most serious crisis in Taixia since the Holy War finally broke out:
