Xu Lai himself never actually proposed to visit the Pope.
The Pope of the temple has never extended an invitation to Xu Lai.
It’s just that several archbishops in the temple, and even Daniel who accompanied Xu Lai, thought that Xu Lai would visit the Pope.
In fact, Xu Lai didn't really want to go. This man was a big shot who was qualified to crown the Supreme King.
It can even be said that in a feudal empire that believes in the God of War, the political status of the Pope may be higher than the ruler of the empire, that is, the Supreme King.
Not to mention, in this world that values strength, the Pope is the only ninth-level professional in the entire empire.
Although Seraph is also at level 9, Seraph is not the only professional. Even with the three words Archangel, he is not as many as the Pope.
The Pope of the temple, it is said that no one has ever seen him take action, but in the imperial capital where he is seated, even Kerrigan of the Burning Legion has to stay away.
When the empire is divided and fighting on all sides, Kerrigan can either attack from between the two northwest empires, or he can go straight to Huanglong and capture the imperial capital.
You know, the empire is split into four human kingdoms, but no one controls the capital.
If Kerrigan goes straight to Huanglong, the other four empires are likely to choose to watch the show, which is his best chance to seize the most luxurious and largest city in the world.
Daniel guided the whole way and soon brought Xu Lai to a huge city.
“Welcome to the City of Holy Angels, Your Excellency, the Honorary Knight of the God of War.”
The people of the empire always like to call it Lionheart City when they call the imperial capital, and the official name of the imperial capital is also Lionheart City.
However, when the temple calls this city, it likes to call it the City of Holy Angels. Even in the documents recorded by the temple, it is also called the City of Holy Angels.
Compared with the name Lionheart City, the name of Holy Angel City is older.
Not only this generation of the Lion Dynasty is called this, but the Iron Fist Dynasty of the previous generation, and all the dynasties and generations above are also called this.
When the Lion Dynasty is completely destroyed and the new ruler comes to power, he will inevitably change his capital's name.
However, as long as the temple still exists, the name Holy Angel City will continue to be inherited.
The origin of Holy Angel comes not only from the Holy Angel City in front of you, but also from the City in the Cloud above this Holy Angel City.
Daniel led the way and introduced Xu Lai.
Not long after entering the city, the archangels around Xu Lai were lured away by another archbishop in charge of reception in the temple.
Fortunately, the two Seraphs beside him did not move, allowing Xu Lai to maintain a sense of security.
I don’t know how long we walked, but Xu Lai was very fast.
But I had to take care of Daniel and the bishops of the City of Holy Angels, so by the time I saw the Pope, the whole morning had almost passed.
Different from the pope in Xu Lai's impression, the pope in the temple seems to be young, probably only 2 or 30 years old. He looks very young and powerful.
Furthermore, His Majesty the Pope has no gorgeous robes, and even the scepter in his hand is extremely simple in style.
Wearing a bunt outfit, with bulging muscles all over his body, and a scepter that looks more like a long stick, it would be more appropriate for the Pope to say that he is a monk.
After meeting the Pope, Daniel bowed and left without even giving the most basic introduction.
Before leaving, he did not say anything about taking Xu Lai's Seraphs to leave, leaving Xu Lai with the two Seraphs alone with the Pope.
Xu Lai looked around, not to mention guards, not even a waiter.
"Knight of the God of War, what are you looking for?"
Xu Lai was startled and quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty the Pope, you are serious."
The Pope smiled slightly. , the scepter was gently tapped on the ground, without using any magic at all, and the entire stick stood perfectly on the floor tiles like a mosaic.
"Young knight, please come with me, someone wants to see you."
Xu Lai was stunned. Daniel had obviously saluted this guy before, and when he called him Pope just now, he didn't refuse.
Why did His Majesty the Pope suddenly change into a follower-type role?
Xu Lai did not speak any more and silently followed the "Pope".
The Pope led Xu Lai through an internal passage. What impressed Xu Lai most was the lifelike Seraph sculptures on the roads on both sides of the passage.
“They can’t be alive, I always feel that they are not just ordinary statues.”
Elvi opened her mouth and did not answer Xu Lai's question. Instead, the Pope in front smiled and replied:
"Yes, they are all living warriors, but in order to escape the punishment of time, they chose Self-sealed.
They become sculptures forever and will not awaken again until the City of Holy Angels is threatened again. "
Angels are also living creatures, and as long as they are living creatures, they will die. That day.
If there is no death, then the undead do not exist, and the nobles can rely on recruiting soldiers from generation to generation, accumulating endlessly.
Even the abyss lords of hell can only live longer. Perhaps only the Lord of the Abyss, whose true body has become one with the abyss and can only send his incarnation to invade the human world, and gods like the God of War, can achieve eternal life.
After answering Xu Lai’s question, the Pope fell silent again and silently led the way.
Waiting until the end of this road full of seraphs, the pope gently pushed open the 5-meter-high and two heavy wooden doors nearly half a meter thick with both hands. Only then did Xu Lai know what he had come to. place.
Xu Lai had no time to sigh at the power of the pope. When they saw the statue erected in the hall, Xu Lai immediately lowered his head.
Elvi, who was behind her, knelt down on one knee for the first time in front of someone other than Xu Lai.
Even when Xu Lai had to take the initiative to salute the Pope when he saw him before, Elvi just nodded casually.
However, there was no reaction from the Seraph who had just been promoted to level 9 by Xu Lai last night.
Just when Xu Lai was surprised, the pope smiled and said:
"This is not surprising. Miss Archangel still has faith, but your Seraph... Just a shell following your orders."
After saying that, the Pope paused and then said with a smile: "Of course, you don't have to doubt Miss Archangel's loyalty to you because of this."
Elvi couldn't help but become nervous, but Xu Lai Without even thinking about it, she replied:
“I dare to entrust my life to her at any time.”
Elvie lowered her head and bit her tightly. Only then did her lips control themselves, without making any sound or deforming their movements.
Xu Lai glanced around, and there was no one else in the huge hall except them and the erected statue.
"You said there is someone here who wants to see me."
The Pope looked at Xu Lai, and a bright golden light suddenly burst out from his clear eyes.
If the golden light hadn't spread quickly, Xu Lai would have thought that the Pope had launched a laser attack on him.
However, Xu Lai soon lost his mood to watch the joke, because when the golden light enveloped him, he clearly felt a look that was not unfamiliar, but not familiar either.
It was clear that no figure could be hidden in the golden light, and it was clear that his eyes could not contain feelings, but Xu Lai felt so sincerely.
The strange thing is that Xu Lai can feel the powerful power in this gaze, but his body does not have any stress reaction.
You know, he is no longer a sub-healthy person in modern society, but a powerful hero whose physique is not inferior to that of Seraph.
Not to mention such a terrifying force looking at him, even an archer a few hundred meters behind him would have a certain stress reaction after aiming a bow and arrow at him.
The eyes came and went quickly, as if they were just for a quick glance at him.
When Xu Lai opened his eyes again, the face of the Pope in front of him had withered a lot.
In front of Xu Lai, the Pope stretched his muscles and said to Xu Lai with a smile:
"How about it, do you know who wants to see you this time?"
Xu Lai He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say his name, but pointed to the statue.
The Pope nodded and said: "Even if he wants to see you, he must have been paying attention to you for a long time.
The medal on your chest has been counted thousands of times since the establishment of the entire temple. In 2016, no more than 10 people received it.”
Xu Lai swallowed and said: "No, no more than 10 people. Then why did he give it to me so early?"
It is impossible for Xu Lai to doubt what the Pope said. There is no need for him to lie to him. .
However, Xu Lai still remembers this Medal of Honor after he led the Eighth Knights to defeat the orcs.
To be honest, Xu Lai's role at that time was not very big. He just added buffs to the Eighth Knights, mainly because of Pierce's performance.
Precisely because Xu Lai knew that he was of little use, he did not take this medal seriously. After all, any hero favored by the temple could receive such a medal.
However, what he got was an honorary medal equivalent to the status of a non-staff knight.
The Pope shrugged and said: "Who knows about this.
But don't feel pressured. As far as I know, these medals from his old man were either given to beggars or beggars. Given to slaves, the one with the highest status is just a commoner.
And not all of them have made great achievements. In fact, most of them can't even be named by their descendants. Come out.
Those who have truly done great things, such as the Supreme King who founded the Lion Dynasty, are only honorary knights of the temple until their death.”
Hearing this, Xu Lai finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
"Okay, the thoughts of the gods are not something that we mortals can guess.
The old man has another greeting gift for you. After you take it, leave quickly. ”
As he spoke, the Pope opened a secret compartment in front of Xu Lai from where the sword tip of the statue stood, took out a small wooden box from it and handed it to Xu Lai:
< br>"His old man's oracle tells you to search underground." (End of Chapter)
