Chapter 647 The Pope is not good, I want to be the Pope
——Black Dragon Island?
The character information this time is relatively comprehensive.
Although it did not explain why the Pope is a perverted person, it did explain that the Pope of the Illuminati Sect has been secretly investigating Black Dragon Island recently, but the reason is unknown.
As early as a long time ago, the Sun Knights, directly under the Pope of the Illuminati Religion, had been secretly stationed on the cliffs of the sea, always paying attention to the movements of the sea, intending to find Black Dragon Island.
Therefore, when a cargo ship that encountered wind and waves returned to the city-state of Turnus, the Knights obtained information from it and quickly used secret messages to send it back to the General Church in the City of Light.
Guangming City is located on the western continent of the San Varo Empire, facing the inland to the east and the royal capital, and facing the Turnus Sea to the west.
This is a city-state governed by the Church of Light.
Every free citizen here is a believer in the Church of Light. They have received blessings from the gods since birth and are destined to grow up bathed in the glory of the Crown of the Sun.
In fact, the entire people of San Varo were under dual rule - the rule of secular power and the rule of gods.
The empire controls the body of the people, and the church controls the spirit and thoughts of the people.
In this theocratic country, the power of the Illuminati is equivalent to the royal power of the Saint Varo royal family.
Although the church has not obtained the right to rule over the human continent, from the perspective of humanistic influence, the religious power is even better than the royal power.
However, even with such huge status and power, Guangming City still stands on the border of the empire, enduring the barrenness of the region in the face of wind and waves.
This has to start from more than a thousand years ago.
Back then, when legendary creatures like elves and dragons still existed, human city-states were threatened by both.
At that time, there was no king on the human continent. There was only a loose federation on the continent that resisted foreign invasion and protected its own independence.
The Saint Varro royal family took the opportunity to rise, and united with the Church of Light to drive out the cunning elves, kill the ferocious dragon, and established an empire on the mainland that would stand for thousands of years and the sun would never set.
The Church of Light thus occupied a corner of the continent, completely spreading the authority of the God of Light to every inch of the continent.
But the king and the pope may have reached some agreement, and the location of Guangming City was located in the barren Western Continent.
The Western Continent is actually the battlefield where elves and dragons once invaded the human continent.
The elves emerge from the ice and snow in the northwest.
The giant dragon flew from the end of the sea.
The Church of Light has enjoyed the influence and rule of the divine power, but it has also been restricted by the royal power. It is far away from the prosperous human cities and has always been stationed in this borderland that has suffered war and death.
So, it is not surprising that the current pope, who is nourished by ambition, wants to overthrow the rule of the empire.
But why is he looking for Black Dragon Island?
…
The teaching attendant knelt and sat at the door, with his head lowered, and carefully presented an exquisitely decorated tray, with a respectful yet humble attitude.
Although Xu Shuo was not used to this kind of blind admiration for divine power, his expression did not change at all, and he even showed a bit of familiarity. He gently raised his hand, and a gray-white jade token on the tray flew over.
It looked gray to him, but in reality it was pale gold.
It felt as gentle as jade, and when he touched it, a character appeared in front of Xu Shuo.
It is a secret message from the leader of the Knights of the Sun.
After discovering Black Dragon Island, the next step still requires the Pope's decree.
The Church of Light is spread all over the empire. There are dozens of exarchs, hundreds of archbishops, thousands of ordinary bishops, and countless other clergy under the church.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Pope to do everything personally, but the Black Dragon Island incident was directly under the control of the Pope.
Even except for the main church of Guangming City, other clergy may not know that their church is looking for Black Dragon Island.
Hidden so deeply, what exactly is there on Black Dragon Island?
Xu Shuo thought for a while and then dismissed the aide who was still guarding the door.
The heavy palace door was closed again, and the lines engraved on the door flickered, and the golden light shone even more under the brilliance of the sun.
No one can open the palace's ban without the Pope's permission.
Xu Shuo did not rush to reply to the Sun Knights, but walked to the bed, opened the pillow and took out the box he had hidden.
No matter how old a pope is, he still secretly hides things under his pillow in front of his attendants.
There are also restrictions on the box, but this may have been set by the Pope himself, so Xu Shuo's touch was not restricted and he opened the box easily.
Inside is also a round plaque that is not much different from the message jade plaque, with the symbol of the sun crown engraved on it.
This is the teaching talisman of the Illuminati Sect.
Xu Shuo picked up the talisman, and with a thought, he put his spiritual power into it.
The shining light enveloped him instantly.
A color other than gray finally appeared in the monotonous field of vision, a kind of dull golden brilliance, and the talisman contained a long and eloquent description with pictures and texts.
The first sentence that caught my eye was——
[Pope doesn’t sound good. I want to be the pope and sit in the position of co-owner of the world.]
In one sentence, the desire of this cowardly Pope has become clear.
Xu Shuo: ...What an ideal, I’m sure.
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the character mission: Pope.]
[The player triggers a side mission: Kill King San Vallo.]
…
…
To the west of Guangming City, there is the sea city-state of Turnus.
In a luxurious sea-view castle, a man wearing aristocratic attire sat on the main seat, staring blankly at the team list in the upper right corner.
【Xu Shuo】462km.
Far enough...
Although Guangming City is located in the coastal Western Continent, the territory of the Western Continent itself is already tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the location of Guangming City will naturally be located inland, so it is located just on the edge of the Western Continent bordering the inland.
Zuo Fang originally wanted to find his teammates to meet up, so that everyone could exchange their information and intelligence first.
As a result, after seeing this distance, he didn't even bother to move a step.
Fortunately, this camp is not a full team, but a few players are matched up.
Otherwise, if all members form a team, they will probably have to work hard to reunite in such a large territory to trigger the main mission - this is also a fair mechanism for non-team camps.
Although this world is a transformation version, it does not have large-scale formations such as teleportation arrays, and swords and magic are actually not very powerful.
The so-called magic is just some small and convenient spells, and their effects are far less shocking than the legendary great mage who can move mountains and seas. Even those who study magic feel that it is an exaggeration.
As for swordsmanship, they are just some sword skills that are flashy and dazzling when danced. They are mostly used to adjust the inner breath, but it is not enough to be overwhelming.
The former is mostly learned by Illuminati followers, while the latter is often used by knights and warriors.
If you put it left, you will be a knight.
But he not only practiced light magic, but also practiced sword skills using Qi.
This is not only because he is a knight of the Holy See, but more importantly, as the chief knight under the Pope, he must be second to none in terms of swords and magic!
It's a pity that the identity of the Knights of the Sun is kept secret, so no one knows that the Knight Commander has such great strength.
Not being able to return to your hometown in fine clothes is like walking at night in fine clothes.
But the Knight Commander is still proud of it!
However, Zuo Fang burst into tears looking at his sword with the crown of the sun on it.
How many times do I have to say, he is a shooter!
The damn teacher really tried every means to get him to learn swordsmanship!
