" Your Alexander, we have finally met." Kaká's voice, matching his handsome appearance, was gentle yet magnetic, possessing a unique charm, as it rang in Sun Fei's ears.

"Your Majesty Kaká, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm truly ashamed..." Sun Fei stepped forward and greeted the incomparably handsome [ Son of God ] Kaká warmly, offering a sincere smile and attributing his inability to pay a visit to himself to being too busy. He humbly apologized while carefully sensing the [Son of God]'s strength, but was surprised to find that he could not perceive the strength of this [ Son of God ] at all, just like an ordinary person, making it impossible for him to see through him.

Kaká, despite his extremely noble status, was incredibly humble and gentle. After everyone was seated again according to the order of host and guest, this [ Son of God ] from the Church, showing no resentment towards Sun Fei's previous neglect, smiled and said, "I have long heard of His Alexander's heroic achievements and unparalleled benevolence. He once promulgated the Law of the Twelve Tables, which caused a sensation in the Zenit Empire, and divided the domestic political system into three divisions and six ministries, a truly groundbreaking move. In a short period of time, he transformed the small, dying Chambord City into the leading vassal state within the empire, a state so powerful that no one dares to challenge His Majesty in battle. He is truly a hero of our time. I have long wished to meet His Majesty, which is why I have repeatedly invited him. However, I did not expect that His Majesty is currently leading a large army to participate in the Imperial Martial Combat Competition, a time of great busyness and importance. It was my oversight that I have disturbed His Majesty."

Regardless of whether he meant it sincerely, his words gave Sun Fei a very comfortable feeling.

Moreover, judging from the information revealed in his words, it is clear that this [ Son of God ] has done some research on Sun Fei and understands him very clearly. He even knows about some of the things that happened in Chambord City.

But then Kaká, with a charming smile, said loudly, "Tomorrow is a crucial moment in the Empire Ranking Competition. I shouldn't have come to disturb Your Majesty, but I'm leaving Saint Petersburg tonight, and I very much wish to speak with Your Majesty before my departure. That's why I've taken the liberty of coming to bother you. I hope Your Majesty won't take offense."

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? I am truly honored." Sun Fei's impression of Kaká was constantly improving.

In the rumors circulating among the nobles of the capital, His Majesty Kaká, the " Son of God " from the Holy Church Holy Mountain, was an extremely mysterious and noble figure. He was rarely seen in public, and in the past half-month, only Emperor Yassin and the Pope of the Zenit Diocese had actually met him. No matter how Son of God one's status, others couldn't even catch a glimpse of him, let alone meet him... Why, then, was such a person being so polite to me?

Despite his inner doubts, Sun Fei felt extremely good about this [ Son of God ]. Kaká's humility and gentleness were like a warm, smooth piece of jade, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. Sun Fei remembered an idiom from his previous life, "A gentleman is like jade," which might be describing someone like Kaká.

For a time, the tent was filled with Kaká and Sun Fei talking animatedly, while everyone else, including the divine master Baresi, listened attentively without interrupting.

Sun Fei was surprised to find that Kaká's many ways of thinking and his attitudes toward dealing with people were very similar to his own, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship.

Since his inexplicable transmigration to the Azeroth Continent, Sun Fei has been constantly changing himself to adapt to the morals and worldview of this jungle and swamp continent. However, many of the traditions, etiquette, and customs of this world are different from those of his previous life. Whether facing the people of the continent or the people in the Diablo World [ Rogue Encampment ], Sun Fei cannot freely express his views and theories from his previous life. But today, some of the theoretical views expressed by Kaká are very similar to Sun Fei's inherent views, which have been influenced by the extreme cultural influence of his previous life over two lifetimes. So much so that the two of them were overjoyed and beaming with excitement by the end of their conversation.

As they got into the conversation, Sun Fei even Big Hand and lightly pulled the heavy stone seat directly in front of Kaká. The two of them, separated by a stone table, chatted as if they were chess players locked in a battle. In the end, they even talked about wine, drinking and laughing heartily. In the blink of an eye, they had drunk three or four jugs of the finest wine, a specialty of the palace, that the princess had given them when she came.

The scene truly evoked the sentiment of "a thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend."

The generals of Chambord City were all staring wide-eyed, never having seen His Majesty so animatedly conversing with a stranger. The priest Baresi and the several Church priests and knights beside him also wore expressions of surprise. Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that His Majesty Kaká, always so polite and refined yet so extremely arrogant, would be talking to someone so unrestrained, especially since this person was merely the King of a minor vassal state. Of course, among these Church figures, Baresi vaguely knew something about Sun Fei's 'other identity'.

"I've heard that His Majesty is also proficient in the cultivation of the Holy Power of the Church. I wonder if that's true or not?" Kaká Earth Inquiry, as if he hadn't finished the conversation.

"I do know a little." With a thought, Sun Fei switched to [ Paladin Mode ], and a faint layer of golden ' Aura energy' flowed around his body. Instantly, he was filled with a benevolent, compassionate, noble and gentle aura, which was completely consistent with the Holy Power attribute cultivated by the people of the Church. Moreover, the power was more refined and pure, and for a moment, the space inside the tent seemed bright and benevolent.

The Holy Church does not prohibit people from practicing the Light Holy Power of the Church; in fact, it encourages people to become children of God. Therefore, Sun Fei does not need to hide his [ Paladin Mode ] power. Moreover, Sun Fei has used the Aura power of the Paladin many times before, and many people have witnessed it firsthand. He cannot hide it even if he wants to.

"Gods above! Your Majesty's mastery of the Holy Power of the Church is truly astounding!" Kaká's words were utterly genuine, as if confirming some suspicion. His star-like eyes shone brightly, and he clapped his hands and laughed joyfully, "I originally intended to invite Your Majesty to join my Holy Church, but now it seems that was unnecessary. No need, haha, no need!"

Sun Fei smiled slightly and said nothing more.

His King certainly understood the meaning behind Kaká's words.

It must have been the color of Holy Power that misled this high and mighty " Son of God," just as Sun Fei had once deceived the priest of Chambord City, Mazzola, making Kaká believe he too possessed the identity of a " Son of God." During this time, Sun Fei had come to understand the significance of the color of Holy Power to the Church. Historically, there had never been a precedent for a 'wild' " Son of God." All " Son of God," upon their birth, would be detected by the artifacts atop the Holy Mountain of the Holy Church and sought out by the Church's forces. If their origins were pure, they would be taken into the Church and given intensive training.

The [ Son of God ] hold an incomparably noble status, considered to be the reincarnations of gods descended to earth, and qualified to compete for the supreme position of Pope in the future Holy Church. They have only one distinctive characteristic—after cultivating Holy Power, the color of their Holy Power will appear golden, unlike the silver of others.

Sun Fei, the first person in history to be considered a wild " Son of God," is still the first of his kind.

With this Golden Holy Power, unless one encounters His Holiness the Pope who knows the complete list and detailed information of the current [ Son of God ] of the Church, it has an immense deceptive effect on others.

Clearly, even Kaká, who is also a [ Son of God ], believed in Sun Fei's 'other identity'.

Beside Kaká, who was smiling happily, the divine master Baresi narrowed his eyes slightly.

As if he were trying to get to know the King in a new light, he scrutinized Sun Fei from head to toe, making no attempt to conceal his rude gaze. What surprised Sun Fei was that beneath his otherwise calm gaze lay a deeply hidden hostility and murderous intent. Had Sun Fei not been in his [ Barbarian Mode ], which made him extremely sensitive to hostility and killing intent, he might have been fooled by the simple, burly Old Man with gray hair.

Behind him, the lightly armored knights who had been standing solemnly were clearly also shocked by what had just happened. After they came to their senses, the change in their eyes was also very obvious. A trace of awe was mixed with a trace of hostility, which was more obvious and easier to detect than that of the priest Baresi. Even Drogba, Pierce and Robben, who were sitting on the side, felt the hostility of these Church knights and their expressions changed instantly.

Inside the large tent, the air began to freeze.

It was as if a cold north wind had suddenly blown in as the curtains fluttered slightly, instantly making the temperature incredibly biting and frigid.

Only Kaká and Sun Fei wore smiles on their faces, as if nothing had happened. They smiled at each other, raised their glasses, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Just then, a wisp of fragrant breeze wafted by, and the sound of light footsteps approached the entrance of the tent. The curtain was lifted, and a person walked in first, instantly enlivening the previously somber atmosphere of the tent.

The person who walked in was none other than the future Princess Angela.

Kaká felt a sudden brightness before her eyes, and the cold winter day instantly felt like springtime.

As the incomparably noble " Son of God " of the Church, Kaká had been traveling away from the Holy Church Holy Mountain the Holy See for more than five years. During these five years, he was treated as an honored guest in every country he visited, attended the banquets of celebrities from various empires, and saw countless beautiful noblewomen. However, no one had ever made him feel a sense of excitement like the girl before him, who wore a white dress, had golden snake-shaped armbands on her fair arms, and had her dark black hair simply tied up. This girl was as pure as a clear spring in the green mountains.
