Chapter 51: Holy See
"Master Li is here in person, I am very honored! Your room has been prepared, maybe you would like to rest for a while? His Holiness the Pope can receive you anytime you like." The bishop in red coat and hat led the Many priests received Xuanzi and his party very humbly.Although Xuanzi and Muzi are at the same level, and Sile and others are also superpowers among capable people, the attitude of the bishop and other priests towards Xuanzi and them is heaven and earth.Obviously this bishop is only at the twentieth level, far inferior to Sile and the others, but his attitude and eyes reveal arrogance, especially those above the fourth rank, almost ignoring everyone except Xuanzi.
To Xuanzi, he was so kind and humble that it was unimaginable.
It's ironic when you think about it, after all, Xuanzi still has half of the energy of the undead bloodline in him.However, in the eyes of clergy and believers, Xuanzi, who possesses the summoning of angels and the mount of divine beasts, is definitely a miracle, a holy son, and the spokesperson of God in the world.
After the new year, before the Lantern Festival, Xuanzi and the six sent a greeting card to Gang Vatican. Unexpectedly, the Holy See, which has always been very independent and xenophobic, expressed its welcome in a very approachable manner, and even asked if it was necessary to send paladins to guard.The president was simply flattered—you must know that before the end of the world, the status of the Holy See was very detached, and even a head of state would not lose face from time to time.After the apocalypse, under this special situation, their power has been rising steadily. It can be said that the Holy See is the actual leading institution in the West including the M state.Xuanzi and the others took it as normal. After all, the strength and attributes displayed by Xuanzi are definitely the "mascot" that the Holy See has long wanted to embrace, and it is a "good treasure" that can greatly promote the teachings and increase followers.
However, such a reaction from the Holy See is really convenient for Xuanzi and the others who want to investigate the "blood race" incident.
Although he wanted to show his favor, the Holy See was the Holy See after all, and he had his own reserve and dignity.Therefore, after the cardinal arranged the affairs, he politely retired, and the deacon was still responsible for other trivial matters of entertaining guests.
The five of Muzi lived in a gorgeous guest room, but Xuanzi's room was more like a "master" room, or the owner's living complex - equipped with a living room, dressing room, prayer room, library, and a temporary housekeeper and a rather secret and empty chamber.There are also tall towers, clock towers, concert halls as big as two or three basketball courts, banquet halls and supporting kitchens and meal preparation rooms.Such a specification is no worse than that of the Pope.The overall decoration is quaint and magnificent, which may not seem as luxurious as the guest rooms, but if you look closely, you will find treasures everywhere.A chair leg can be called priceless.In particular, a large number of high-level crystal nuclei are placed in boxes so carelessly, and huge energy rushes in as soon as they walk in.The wall of the prayer room seems to be made of a special material, such a huge amount of energy won't leak even the slightest bit once the door is closed.
It is worthy of the Holy See, which is rich and powerful at all times, it is really generous.
The leader who greeted Xuanzi and the others before was a cardinal, and he was the real bishop of the headquarters, but he was just at level [-]. It is reasonable to say that Benjamin, who is slightly lower than him, has already reached level [-]. This is unscientific... Besides, just now Xuanzi scanned the clergymen he saw, no matter what level they were, none of them were of blood race.So, what happened is that the blood clan did not reach an agreement with the Holy See, but secretly plotted to invade; or, it was that the blood clan had already realized that Xuanzi's visit was not good, so they hid in advance.Both are not pleasant guesses - if the Holy See still doesn't know anything, then, from the previous Xuanzi's scan, the Holy See has already been emptied, and most of the local clergy have fallen.On the contrary, if the Holy See knows everything, why should the blood race avoid——
Based on their number and common level, is it necessary to avoid Xuanzi's edge?Or, what method do they have, they have already grasped the true strength of Xuanzi and the six people?This is even more worrying for Xuanzi and the others than the blood race secretly planning a terrifying conspiracy itself.
It's a pity that this is the headquarters of the Holy See. It has been soaked in the power of faith of countless devout believers for thousands of years. Even Xuanzi can't wantonly use his spiritual power to spy.
Based on the thought of not using it for nothing, Xuanzi entered the prayer room with five hearts to the sky, absorbing energy with all his heart—hope, the Holy See has enough goods, and these high-level crystal nuclei can be replenished in time tomorrow~~~
They just arrived, and the situation is unclear. Except for Si Le who released many micro-organ beasts to detect information, everyone else practiced and rested obediently.
In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the people in the Holy See had already arranged their clothes and prayed in the morning.Xuanzi and the others also got up quietly—of course they would not follow the people in the Holy See to go to the daily service, but after all, they were on other people's territory, and they had been very polite and respectful so far, so they naturally had to show corresponding respect.At six o'clock, the clergy of the Holy See and some temporary believers knelt at the feet of the "Lord" of the cathedral under the leadership of the Pope himself.After the prayers, the Pope held the scepter and blessed everyone. After such a morning class, people in the Holy See started their day's work.
Xuanzi and the others stood quietly at a distance, observing everyone.
The Pope is not the gray-haired old man who often appears in the media before the end of the world.Now he looks in his 30s, with a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and a compassionate and solemn expression.Xuanzi can also know through the system that this person is already 89 years old and is now level 35, a Holy Light system.It's a pity that most of the Holy See is the Holy Light Department, but they can only make them have a strong self-healing ability, and they cannot heal others, purify corpse poison and devil energy.They are a branch of the holy light system that is more inclined to attack. They have attribute bonuses against monsters, and they are also effective against humans.
The strangest thing is that the Pope's robes, Bible and scepter are all equipped with very good attributes - other priests also have more or less holy light equipment.This is very unreasonable!Because the survivors now, the only way to obtain equipment is to scrape it from the corpses of the people of the devil world, or to find Xuanzi to buy it.Therefore, it stands to reason that there is no holy light attribute equipment in this world.If there are one or two items on the pope, it can be said that they have been accumulated for thousands of years, so there are always some good things.But what happened to popularize it in the Holy See?
Perhaps, this is the weight of the blood race?
However, where did the people of the devil world get the holy light equipment?Does this demon world, humans or other non-monster creatures still exist?
Xuanzi felt that it was necessary for him to find some time to visit the house of his "neighbor next door".
After the morning class ended, people in the Holy See began to get busy, and Xuanzi and the others could also hear the faint sound of singing poetry.Muzi led the others back to the room, while Xuanzi walked towards the Pope.
Xuanzi nodded slightly to the Pope, counting it as a greeting - this is really rude, after all, at least in the Holy See, the Pope should be supreme, and Xuanzi is more than ten years younger than him.But the people around didn't even want to see it, so they dispersed.Even the Pope himself was not angry at all, looking at Xuanzi tenderly, as if Xuanzi was his long-lost brother.Afterwards, he kissed Xuanzi's forehead and whispered his prayers, his attitude couldn't be better.
"Li, I'm glad you're here. If there's anything I can do to help you, please feel free to ask. It's my honor."
The Pope asked Xuanzi to hold his hand, and the two walked out of the cathedral slowly.Xuanzi followed him for a while, got Muzi's consent in the team, and said directly to the Pope: "Perhaps Mr. Pope already knows the origin of our trip, if you have good intentions, why not be open and honest."
The Pope smiled and said nothing, looked at Xuanzi for a long time, closed his eyes, and pressed the index finger and middle finger of his left hand on the center of Xuanzi's eyebrows.Xuanzi hesitated for a moment, but finally did not escape.Milky white fluorescence rose from his fingertips, sure enough, the pope's actions did no harm to Xuanzi.Xuanzi carefully felt the power of the holy light. Although it came from the same source, the Pope's energy composition was still very different from Xuanzi's.However, Xuanzi keenly felt the power of healing and purification in the power of the Holy Light at the Pope's fingertips.
It seemed that when he reached the fortieth level, he would be able to use the "healing technique" and "purification technique".In addition to being slightly worried, Xuanzi is more happy about the impact of the expansion of the Holy See's power on the world situation. "Possessing a unique healing power" sounds glorious. In fact, even Xuanzi's current state of mind doesn't really care about not healing people when he is clearly capable.If the people of the Holy See can take up this responsibility, it will be a good thing for the whole world.
Moreover, although the Pope didn't say a word, Xuanzi also deciphered a lot of information from his actions.
First of all, with such pure power of the Holy Light, the purity of the Pope's faith and the goodness of his character are beyond doubt.Secondly, the pope is not ignorant of blood race matters, but his current strength cannot compete, so he pretends to be ignorant.In the end, the pope longed to form an alliance with Xuanzi to jointly deal with this terrifying conspiracy in the demon world.
In this way, Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the pope has a pure faith, if he and Xuanzi are enemies, even if Xuanzi wins, it will not be worth the loss.
This is already a relatively good situation.
Xuanzi closed his eyes slightly, and a purer and more sacred power of holy light than the Pope was fed back through his fingers.The pope opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of light.This octogenarian old man has pure eyes like a child's. Looking at his young face, Xuanzi thought, if his eyes were not full of wisdom that is rare for ordinary people, it would be really difficult for ordinary people to see his actual age.
The Pope seemed a little agitated. He held Xuanzi's hand tightly, opened and closed his lips slightly, and muttered to himself, but he really couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.
