When Zuo Fang went to the underground temple, he didn't take the boy with him.
He left the dragon on top of the castle, explained it to the Sun Knight guarding the castle, and then opened the secret passage and entered the underground temple alone.
Before entering, Zuo Fang glanced back abruptly, and felt relieved when he found no trace of tracking.
I guess that kid is still a little calm.
…
…
Guangming City, Guangming Church.
In the inner temple, the priests who had reached an agreement would have about twenty people sitting at the long table of the temple.
Under the dim light of the temple, they were dressed in red-bottomed priestly robes with gold edges. Some of them had white hair and beards and were very old, while others were in their prime and full of vigor.
The selection of bishops is not based on qualifications.
In the words of the Holy See, as long as they are sincere, anyone can become God's favorite believer.
The specific method is actually similar to the membership requirements of the Star Club. As long as you get the brand of the gods, you can become a core member.
This is how the Pope is elected.
The most noble identities in the entire Holy See are the pope and the saints of the choir. They are both people who have been blessed by the God of Light. Their status in the Holy See can be regarded as the God of Light in the world.
incarnation.
The Exarch is a divine servant who walks the world with the God of Light.
They also have marks on their bodies, but they are just ordinary bright marks. Each exarch has a sun crown mark between his eyebrows.
With the golden aperture as the center and sixteen rays of light spreading radially around it, this is the sun crown of the Holy See of Light.
Xu Shuo wore the sun crown on his head.
As for his eyebrows, there is no such thing.
However, after searching the Pope's body, I found this mark in his brain. This is the difference between a bishop, a pope, and a saint.
Now, more than twenty bishops gathered together, naturally for the purpose of the Pope going to the royal capital to crown the eldest prince.
As the Pope of the Holy See of Light, the pomp and circumstance of traveling must not be taken lightly.
More importantly, the meaning of this trip is also different from the past.
In addition to the Holy See Army sent to the Royal Capital on the surface, the Priesthood also plans to arrange a real Holy See Knights on the other side to confuse the empire's eyes and escort the Pope's car to the Royal Capital safely.
Although most bishops actually do not approve of the Pope's visit.
Even if you want to take action against the royal power of the empire, you can send a fake person to the royal capital. There is no need to actually go there in person.
Xu Shuo sat in the highest seat of the temple and remained speechless. He propped up his chin and looked at the group of colorful people below in the dim golden light.
After they finished their heated discussion, Xu Shuo spoke up: "In addition to the Knights of the Bright Moon who set out from Cassel Castle, send another Holy See army disguised as the Knights of the Sun to the north. Once they enter the northern territory, let them take off their disguises.
return."
The Archbishop was stunned for a moment, and the old man sitting in front asked: "What does this mean?"
Xu Shuo said lazily: "There is no purpose, I just asked them to take a casual trip."
Priests will: "..."
So you think one smoke bomb is not enough, so you put another one?
There's nothing wrong with that.
And seeing the Pope being so cautious, the priests felt relieved. After all, if the parties involved didn't care about it, then it would be useless no matter how much safety protection they put in place.
At this moment, the altar between the long conference table and the Pope's throne lit up, and the magic circle underneath floated with golden light.
Then a jade stone floated out.
Xu Shuo's mood, which had gradually become boring after staying up late, was slightly lifted. He raised his hand to call the jade stone, and with his mental power, he penetrated it and saw a large section of characters.
He read ten lines at a glance, his eyes moved slightly, and his expression was thoughtful.
"Your Holiness, what about Black Dragon Island?"
There was an archbishop below who couldn't help but ask.
Xu Shuo nodded: "Black Dragon Island has been found by the Sun Knights, but they did not find the existence of the black dragon on it."
Hearing this, the Archbishop sitting at the head of the table saw clearly, and then looked at the little pope on the Holy See with helpless and conniving eyes, and said: "Although the secret scroll does record that the dragon family
, but that happened a thousand years ago, and it’s normal that it doesn’t exist anymore.”
Therefore, since it has not appeared for so long, it may have become extinct long ago.
Xu Shuo glanced at him after hearing this.
I was thinking about whether to slap him in the face directly.
But after thinking about it carefully, as a majestic and solemn Pope, I would rather not do such a thing.
So he just waved the jade away with his hand.
The first Archbishop skillfully probed the light magic in, and the jade stone turned into light spots and dissipated, and then the text floated out for everyone to see.
…
Because Zuo Fang didn't know whether there were any members of the Holy See of Light, nor who would be the first to see the information he conveyed, so the information on the jade stone was described in a very official tone.
He first briefly talked about the situation after the knights landed on Black Dragon Island, and then briefly talked about the situation of the escaped girl.
Finally, I briefly talked about it - although there are no dragons on the island, there are dragons in the city.
Moreover, the other party also described himself as the last dragon in the world.
More importantly, there seems to be an intention to join the Holy See in taking action.
…
After a while.
The expression of the exarch who just spoke did not change, as if he had never said anything about "the dragon is gone".
He also frowned and analyzed thoughtfully: "It's strange, if the dragon clan really still exists, but I have never heard of them in the past thousand years. Now it happens to be on the 18th of St. Varro
When Shi wanted to take action against the Holy See, the dragon also appeared?"
Listening to this, it seems as if the Holy See has not been planning for the royal power for decades.
The timing of the dragon's appearance is actually quite normal.
Although we don't know how the plot of the original world happened, the contradiction between divine power and royal power has accumulated for thousands of years, and has already swelled to the top. Things must be reversed at the extremes, and this bubble-like balance has reached the point of collapse.
Otherwise, this generation of popes would not want to overthrow the royal power, and this generation of kings would not want to eradicate the divine right.
In fact, both parties have had this idea for a long time.
The incident on Black Dragon Island was just a trigger.
In reality, maybe that's why.
And this war between divine power and royal power is bound to be protracted. It is difficult to predict who will receive the power of the dragon. The situation is changing rapidly, and no one at the time knows what the outcome will be.
But in the game.
In fact, it's just that players move faster.
They don't need to worry about the chain reaction after a certain person's downfall, nor do they need to worry about the impact their actions will have on the future. The camp and mission have already been decided.
What the players have to do is to compress a ten-year or even a hundred-year war into an instant.
Xu Shuo held his chin and smiled: "Anyway, since the matter on Black Dragon Island is over, let the Sun Knights return to Guangming City with the dragon."
The Archbishop was startled: "Your Holiness, the timing of that dragon's appearance is too strange, it may be a trap!"
"My chief knight will not bring danger to me. This matter does not need to be discussed again. The Holy See army heading to the royal capital is also scheduled to set off at noon tomorrow." Xu Shuo said in a tone that was unambiguous.
"If you set out tomorrow, but that dragon..." The bishops were suddenly even more confused.
From the city-state of Turnus to the City of Light, it would take a day and a night even if we rode at full speed without stopping. Wouldn't it mean that as soon as the pope left, the dragon arrived on the back?
What else will you see?
Then why call them to Guangming City?
Specially arrange a time bomb in the lair?
The corners of Xu Shuo's lips raised slightly, but he just said: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements for that dragon. You can just concentrate on preparing for the royal capital. Guangming City cannot live without a governor. You decide for yourself who stays and who follows me.
Go to the royal capital."
After the words fell, the atmosphere at the long conference table suddenly became solemn, and everyone began to exchange glances. Even the older Archbishop was not to be outdone.
It is a great honor to travel with the Pope!
The first battle against those who dare to blaspheme the power of the Pope is the honor of the entire Illuminati Sect!
