Chapter 113 03: A shabby meeting (third update)
The first anti-demon joint meeting was held in a somewhat shabby manner in the St. Michael's Monastery.
Whether history will remember this moment is unknown to Shiraishi, but it can be seen that the Pope has a strong desire not to be interfered by some major powers.
The attendees included: The Holy See, the Protestant Bishop (Anglican), Brand’s Chosen Paladin and Priest, Sister Jennifer, and the Supreme Saint Miki Inagaki.
And Shiraishi Hang, who uses the identity of Owen and assumes the identity of the youth representative of the Paladin lineage, let's see how they plan to deal with the "devil."
Although he didn't have to be there in person to hear it, watching them discuss these matters seriously was a good pastime.
In general, such a lineup looks more like an academic seminar, after all, half of them are old white men.
"Welcome everyone to take the trouble to participate in this meeting." The Pope's eyes stayed on Shiraishihang who was sitting next to Jennifer for a few more seconds. "As a part of human civilization, we are fighting against the existence of demons who only know how to kill. Naturally hostile, in the first stage of the meeting, I hope everyone can reach a consensus that 'there is no negotiation with the devil on any terms.'"
The people present basically have no objection to this consensus. At present. From the looks of it, demons don’t take hostages and negotiate with humans. They basically chew them as soon as they get them. Even if they are picky eaters, they still have to take a few bites to taste them.
It is really difficult to negotiate.
"Then, I will first disclose the demon information held by the Holy See."
For most of the demons that have appeared, the Holy See has established file records and conducted detailed analysis.
When it was Jennifer's turn, she glanced at Bai Shihang, coughed slightly, and began to organize the description based on the more relevant knowledge she had learned from Bai Shihang in the past two days.
“Based on the Paladin’s years of experience in fighting demons, we have also classified the threats to demons. The highest threat level is the Lucifer level, while the one that appeared in the last New York incident was the Satan level. The next is the ancient snake level, and the black dragon incarnated by the hypocrite belongs to this level."
Hearing the beginning, the two religious leaders almost couldn't help but interrupt.
But they looked at each other and decided to continue listening.
After all, there is indeed no solid statement in the classics that "Lucifer is Satan", some are just vague reflections.
After listening to Jennifer's classification of the demon's level of combat power, the Bishop of the Reformed Church took the opportunity to ask a question that he had wanted to know for a long time.
"Excuse me, what is the Holy Knight?" He knew that Jennifer was an extraordinary person, but the Pope had been avoiding talking about it, so he had to ask the nun.
“More than a thousand years ago, a total of nine knights were inspired by God and gained extraordinary power. They then established the Poor Knights of the Temple and vowed to fight for God and work together with the Holy See. Fight against the devil. After countless wars, the power of the devil declined, but the Holy See was afraid of the power of the Paladins and found an opportunity to try to remove them."
"The Paladins were betrayed and suffered heavy casualties. The contemporary Pope also officially announced the dissolution of the Knights Templar. The remaining Paladins swore that unless God appeared again, they would have no connection with the Holy See and completely cut them off."< br>
Jennifer finished talking about this hidden "history" with a displeased look on her face, with an evil look that made the Pope's scalp feel itchy.
What does it have to do with me! I am innocent!
The bishop coughed twice in embarrassment, and then glanced at the pope, saying that he didn't tell them such important news.
I can’t come!
The Pope was originally just guessing. In order not to irritate the other party, he tried to avoid talking about it. Moreover, the time of the Knights was not quite right, so he always had a little fantasy.
However, no matter how we talk about it, what does what happened in the past have to do with me?
“However, just after the New York incident, we sensed the birth of a new Chosen Paladin, which also means that a new crisis is coming. In order to face this big crisis, we must cooperate sincerely.”
Jennifer set her sights on Pastor Brand.
"Yes, among the revelations I have received, there is a terrible catastrophe coming to the world. We must unite to overcome the difficulties together." Pastor Brand nodded with worry, He couldn't help but think of the terrifying image that appeared in his mind when he received the angel's broken arm, that ferocious demonic hand that could cover the sky with one palm.
The scene suddenly became very silent, as if even the air had become thicker, making breathing more and more difficult.
Only Inagaki Miki seemed unaffected, because without William's accurate translation, she could only rely on the translation earphones to understand their words, but the deviation was not much different.
She didn't know the possible big crisis they were talking about, but she believed that the Supreme had already arranged everything, and the rest just needed to be faced calmly.
Hmm. In a way, she is the one closest to the truth.
When no one spoke, Inagaki Miki talked about some of her views on demons. She believed that demons had already been hidden in the evil thoughts of countless people. She could force the demons out of hopeless humans in advance and eliminate them.
But this plan was too easy to cause panic. Others just made a note, saying that they would ask her to eradicate the hidden demons in advance if necessary.
The meeting lasted only about four or five hours. Everyone basically reached a consensus not to cooperate with the demons. They also exchanged many insights and information about the demons and formed an offensive and defensive alliance against the demons.
After the meeting, the Pope found Bai Shihang and wanted to know more about the original extraordinary inheritance of the Holy See.
“After the decline of demons, the awakening of extraordinary power has become increasingly difficult. The Priest of Truth is an extraordinary inheritance that pays the most attention to talent. The time of severance may not be long after we part ways with the Holy See.”
"The Inquisition pays more attention to the loyalty of faith. One of its main tasks is to capture other extraordinary beings. Back then, we Paladins were mainly attacked by the Sickles of the Inquisition."
"Rose Cross Mage It can be regarded as a branch of the Truth Pastor, but why it has not been passed down, our family history has no record of it.”
“Before Jennifer told me, we even thought that the Truth Pastor had just become a single person. According to the lineage inheritance, other extraordinary things are just hidden in the world. Unexpectedly, they have disappeared long ago."
Bai Shihang made nonsense.
Seeing the expressionless face of Bai Shihang, who was full of mysterious and noble aura, and after calmly telling these secrets, the Pope only felt a coldness in his heart, and at the same time, he felt severe pain.
It turns out that the Holy See was so prosperous in the past, possessing more than one extraordinary power!
Did your exes eat shit? ! A great country has been lost to you! At least leave me an extraordinary legacy of the Inquisition.
I can't breathe anymore.
This feeling is like a relay race. Obviously the first and second bats ran very well, like the wind, I don’t know how many meters behind me, but when the stick was handed over to the third one, I found that This turned out to be an old man in a wheelchair!
This wheelchair is still rusty!
The Pope could only stand there helplessly, watching opponents surpass him one after another, waiting for the old man to slowly move over.
In despair, the old man finally came to him, gave a thumbs up, and said with a proud smile: Hurry up!
“Thank you for informing us, may the Lord bless us.”
The pope’s leaving figure looked so lonely.
