People were coming and going on the streets of Rome, and a tabby cat jumped out of the alley. Not long after, Xiao Hei walked out slowly with elegant cat steps, glanced at the crowd around him, and ran towards the Vatican without looking back.
As the base of the Apocalypse God System, Rome is a city with strong religious significance. If Jerusalem is a holy land, Rome is the religious core located in the West.
Xiao Hei has already found out the situation in the city of Rome. There are seven cathedrals in Rome, the most famous of which is of course the Roman Cathedral located in the Vatican. It is the Holy See of the Cult of Plenty and the seat of the Pope.
Several other churches are also famous. Among them, the Pantheon in the north of the Circular Square is the birthplace of the Apocalypse God System. It is said that Nereida once led the gods of the Apocalypse God System to hold a meeting there. To this day, there are still worshippers inside.
There are shrines to saints of all ages and statues of Caesar.
Being able to enter the Pantheon after death is the greatest honor of the Cult of Plenty. Even the Pope is not qualified to be buried in it.
In addition, exquisite statues from the Renaissance can be seen everywhere on the streets. Xiao Hei is not interested in these. His goal is to communicate with the White Candle, and the place where the White Candle is most likely to exist...
It is the Roman Cathedral located in the Vatican.
With his physical advantage, Xiao Hei climbed up to the roof, shuttled between the roofs, and soon entered the Vatican. Before the arrival of the gods, the Vatican was still an independent religious country, but after the arrival of the gods, the Vatican merged with the Kingdom of Sardinia.
The barrier has been removed and you can enter and exit at will.
In fact, even the relevant precautions cannot stop Xiao Hei. Ma Wei has already prepared a magic ring for it. It can use the mud shadow to enter the Vatican. But in Xiao Hei's view, the cat's body is the most natural protection.
Using magic, you might be detected, but a plain black cat...who cares?
The Roman Republic was surrounded by sea on three sides and had abundant supplies, so there were a lot of cats.
The church is very conspicuous. Xiao Hei found the main entrance without asking for directions. At noon, there were still many believers coming to worship in the church. A cardinal stood in front of the offering box with a smile and explained his faith to the believers.
Goddess, the benefits of joining the church.
After observing for a moment, Xiao Hei took advantage of the monk at the door not to pay attention, and rushed into the left corridor of the church, hiding in the shadows, and quickly looking for the entrance to the treasure room.
According to the information provided by the stray cats, the treasure room of the Cult of Abundance is located in the Roman Cathedral. It should be on the third floor, very close to the Pope's residence. It is also very tightly guarded and equipped with magic protection...
Xiao Hei is just here to collect information today. It is not his mission to steal the White Candle. As long as the location of the treasure room can be determined, Levin can be dispatched.
"The most tightly guarded place should be the treasure room, meow..."
Using reverse thinking, Xiao Hei climbed up to the third floor and found an iron door that emitted violent magic fluctuations. The door was guarded by members of the Holy Light and Mythril Society, making it difficult to approach.
He did not act rashly or alert the enemy. After confirming the location of the treasure room, Xiao Hei chose to withdraw from the church. This was the enemy's base camp. He was not afraid of being caught. What he was afraid of was alerting the enemy and making the enemy defensive.
After taking note of the location of the treasure room, Xiao Hei returned to the city and sneaked into the Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, and St. John Lateran's Cathedral. None of them found anything as violent as the treasure room on the third floor of the Roman Cathedral.
A room where magic ripples.
"I have to report the discovery to the goddess and master, meow..."
Xiaohei prayed to Yunia in his heart. This is a way for believers to establish contact with the gods. If the gods reply, it will be an oracle.
Praying to the statue has the same effect.
After receiving the news, Ma Wei immediately responded. He had asked Archbishop Brandon about the Cult of Plenty and confirmed the information about the existence of a treasure room inside the Roman Cathedral, which was almost the same as the information collected by Xiao Hei.
"Go to Levin and ask him to find a way to enter the treasure room and determine the location of the White Candle."
"I got it, meow!"
Xiao Hei took action again, stopped the cats on the street and asked, confirming the location of the palace.
In the palace, Levin, who was enjoying lunch among a group of nobles, was tasting fine wine and tender lamb chops when he suddenly saw a black cat tail hanging out of the window, dangling.
Like a cat fishing with its tail by the river.
At the same time, Kovalev, who received the goddess's oracle, also winked at Levin.
Levin understood the situation and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth. He immediately left the banquet hall for convenience and went to the bathroom. After opening the window, Xiao Hei climbed in through the window.
It was really crawling, not jumping. Levin suspected that Xiao Hei hooked his claws on the wall and hung on the outer wall of the palace.
Only cats blessed by the goddess can have such sharp claws and physical strength.
Xiao Hei told the information he had collected and Ma Wei's order. Levin was a little embarrassed when he heard that he was asked to enter the treasure room, but he quickly figured out a way.
Back in the banquet hall, Levin patiently waited until the end of the banquet. When Caesar invited him to watch the performance at the Colosseum, he said: "Your Majesty, in fact, when I came to Rome this time, in addition to signing the potion contract,
And one more thing."
"Mr. Felix just said it doesn't matter. Whatever I can do, I will try my best..."
As he spoke, Caesar turned to remind: "But I hope that you will call me the head of state or dictator. The Republic does not have an emperor."
You are no different from the emperor now...
With a slander, Levin changed his title and said: "Führer, I heard that the Abundance God Religion has a complete set of relics of the saint?"
Caesar nodded: "This is no secret. Rome is the birthplace of the Apocalypse God System. During those turbulent years, many saints were born, and they are buried in the Pantheon."
Saints refer to believers who have made great contributions to the church. Some places like to call them heroes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Their power comes from the gods, they are usually very powerful, and they are the best among believers.
The so-called relics of saints refer to the items used by these saints, also called sacred objects. There are also many sacred objects preserved in the treasure room of the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny.
Not everyone is qualified to be called a saint. Today, no church has a saint in the established sense. This is because no one has made outstanding contributions. The last saint who was recognized by the gods used his soul to seal the vampire race.
The leader is Edward before he lost his memory.
"It's like this. My elder brother entrusted me to find a sacred object, and this sacred object is in the hands of the Cult of Abundance, so..."
Caesar was a little curious: "What kind of holy object is it?"
Levin smiled and said: "Please let me get away with it. My elder brother has told me not to leak relevant information before seeing the real thing."
"But if you don't tell us, how will we know what sacred object you are looking for?"
"It's in the treasure room of the Cult of Abundance." Levin said, "If I hadn't confirmed this, I wouldn't have come in person."
Caesar was hesitant. To be honest, he shouldn't have negotiated this kind of thing. The church should have come forward. However, the Fertility Cult had long ago handed over the power to him. Even the Fertility Goddess said that she would follow the plan made by Caesar.
He can make the final decision on all matters of the church...
With enough power, Caesar's head hurt even more.
People are always dissatisfied. Napoleon longed to be treated like Caesar, but what about Caesar?
He hoped that the Cult of Plenty would become stronger, or at least... stop being in ruins.
"Head of State, in exchange, my eldest brother has given me the bargaining power in the contract. At the same time, he is also willing to give you a gift in private. The degree of cherishment is no less than that of ordinary sacred objects."
"what gift?"
"A relatively complete alchemy puppet, of course it is damaged, but the important parts are all there." Levin smiled and said: "If you send it for research, you might be able to decipher the secrets of the Doomsday Party."
There is no research data, only the corpse of the alchemy puppet. It is extremely difficult to replicate the technology of the Doomsday Party.
Even so, the bodies of alchemy puppets are extremely precious and of immeasurable value. Currently, only the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny has a few of them.
Over in the United States of America, although the Doomsday Party also sent out alchemy puppets, the alchemy puppets they used were equipped with self-destruction magic, making it impossible to collect corpses with important parts intact.
Ma Wei was very sincere when he was willing to offer one in exchange.
"The body of the alchemy puppet... This is one of the most core secrets. Prime Minister Nicholas is not afraid of being punished for doing this?" Caesar said quietly.
"My eldest brother is in the long-term business," Levin said.
Caesar, who heard the implication of Levin's words, did not hesitate too much: "Your eldest brother is willing to use the alchemy puppet in exchange. He must have a big goal. Let's wait and see what he wants to exchange for."
After speaking, Caesar told the attendants on the side: "Cancel the event to watch the performance at the Colosseum, we are going to the Roman Cathedral."
