This is the oldest and oldest existence in the world. Up to now, it has more than 2 billion believers worldwide, spread across 242 countries in the world.
What an exaggerated concept this is?
On average, one out of every three people is a believer in the Holy See.
More importantly, not only that, the Holy See is also one of the six major martial arts holy places on earth.
The Knights Templar of the Holy See have left a great name in history. The most famous one is the "Crusades", which conquered countless countries, and the achievements of those heroic warriors were passed down like miracles.
In addition, there are powerful persons such as the Holy Son, Holy Daughter, and Cardinal in the Holy See. Each one of them is a first-class powerful person.
The most terrifying thing is undoubtedly the ruler of the Holy See and the spiritual leader of hundreds of millions of believers——
Your Majesty the Pope!
The strength of the Pope is unfathomable, but over the years, even the most arrogant heretics have not dared to openly challenge the Pope, so no one knows his true strength.
At noon, the sun shines on the earth, as if covering the entire city with a layer of golden gauze.
Ye Fan was walking on the streets. The streets and alleys were full of believers coming to worship, with a look of piety on his face.
Soon, Ye Fan crossed the opposite side of St. Peter's Square and came to the Sistine Chapel, which used to be the Pope's private scripture hall and was divided into chapels, halls, palaces, etc. It was the center of the Holy See and not
Tourists are prohibited from visiting.
Ye Fan bought a ticket and walked in.
Above the dome of the ceiling is the famous mural "Genesis" that the art master Michelangelo spent four years painting.
There are a total of 343 characters in the painting, all of them are ideal, heroic, and Hercules-type. The content is based on stories in the Bible. The characters are realistic and lifelike, fully expressing the power and beauty of the human body.
Ye Fan looked up at this mural and couldn't help but sigh at the exquisiteness of it. This is an otherworldly work of art that reaches its peak and has reached its limit. It can be called the perfect fusion of art and religion.
However, Ye Fan definitely did not come all the way to appreciate this painting.
According to Mr. Wei, if you want Dongfang Mingyue to accept the destiny of an emperor, you must find the magic that has been used by many "gods" and extract the power of faith from it.
The Holy See is the best choice.
The Golden Ark of the Covenant, the Shroud of Turin, the True Cross, the Lance of Longinus, the Holy Crown of Thorns, the Holy Pau, the Holy Robe...
These are famous holy objects.
And here, there is also a precious holy object——
Holy Grail!
It is said that when Jesus had the Last Supper with his twelve disciples, there was nothing on the table. Jesus turned his body into bread and his blood into wine for everyone to eat, thereby creating a memorial ceremony for the crucifixion.
The cup represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. The cup shared by Jesus and his disciples is the Holy Grail. Later, Jesus was killed by the pagans, and this cup was used to hold the blood of Jesus.
Many legends believe that if you can find this Holy Grail and drink the water it contains, you will be rejuvenated, resurrected from the dead, and gain eternal life.
…
After a while, Ye Fan walked out of the Sistine Chapel and prepared to walk towards the Papal Palace inside.
The Papal Palace is where the internal institutions of the Holy See are located. No one is allowed to enter unless they are members of the Holy See, distinguished guests who have been invited, or other people.
The Holy Grail, stained with the blood of Jesus, has been enshrined here for thousands of years and has been blessed by the faith of hundreds of millions of believers. It already possesses incredible power.
Seeing that Ye Fan was an unexpected guest, two guards from the Knights Templar quickly rushed over to stop him and shouted:
"It's a forbidden area inside, no visitors allowed! Leave immediately!"
The two guards were wearing silver armor. They were tall and handsome. Their golden hair shone in the sun, and they exuded a strong aura between the lines.
Seeing this, Ye Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showed a bright smile, and said: "You two, please inform me that I want to see your Pope!"
"How respectful the Pope is, how can you see wherever you want?" One of the guards frowned.
"That's right! There are not even ten thousand but eight thousand people who want to see the Pope every day. If the Pope can meet just any cat or dog, then he will have forty-eight in a day.
I’ve been busy for hours!” Another guard sounded a little impatient and waved his hand at Ye Fan.
"Haha..." Ye Fan smiled slightly and continued: "It doesn't matter if you can't see the Pope, as long as you lend me something!"
"what?"
"Holy Grail!"
Ye Fan's words were like thunder exploding in the ears of the two guards.
The two of them were stunned at first and stood there dumbly. They couldn't believe their ears and thought they were hearing hallucinations.
It took more than half a minute for them to come back to their senses. Their faces were full of fear and jealousy. Their sharp eyes turned into swords that cut through the thorns. They looked straight at Ye Fan and said coldly: "Boy, who are you?
?How dare you covet the Holy Grail?"
"You alone are not qualified to know my identity!" Ye Fan said lightly.
His tone was calm and calm, without any waves, as if he was stating some truth that was a matter of course.
"presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
The two guards shouted loudly at the same time, their eyes were about to burst, and their hearts were burning with fire.
Being able to become a member of the Knights Templar is definitely one of a kind, one in a million, and of course they have their own pride.
In addition to their special status, even the Dukes of some small countries were polite to them when they saw them. Who would have thought that a little-known Eastern boy would dare to provoke them like this.
It is unbearable!
"Boy, let me ask you, what is the first sentence of "The Book of Exodus"?" a guard asked loudly.
Every believer can recite the "Jiu Covenant" by heart, and the guards want to use this method to test whether Ye Fan is a true believer.
"cut!"
Ye Fan curled his lips and said calmly: "Who knows that kind of thing? Let the old Pope come out quickly, otherwise, I will go in directly!"
With that said, Ye Fan stepped forward and prepared to step into the Papal Palace.
"Heretic, you are seeking death!"
One of the guards finally couldn't restrain the anger in his heart. He pulled out the sword from his waist with his right hand and struck Ye Fan in the chest.
"Whoosh!"
This sword was as fast as thunder and radiant. The blade was also attached with the bright fighting spirit unique to the Holy See. It was sacred and *, and seemed to melt the surrounding air.
If ordinary people faced this knife, they would not be able to react at all, and they would be stabbed through the heart, and even a steel plate would be broken.
This swordsmanship alone shows the extraordinary strength of this guard, and he is definitely not a frivolous embroidered pillow.
However, in the face of this menacing knife, Ye Fan did not dodge, always showing a faint smile on his lips.
"How dare you shine even with the brilliance of fireflies?"
Ye Fan said disdainfully, then he flicked his fingers slightly and went towards the sharp blade.
Ye Fan's movements were light and soft, as if he was flicking flies, and he didn't pay attention to the opponent's offensive at all.
"How dare you underestimate me!"
Seeing this action, the guard was extremely angry, as if he had been greatly slighted.
In his opinion, Ye Fan used his fingers to force the blade of his own sword. This was a mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot, and he was not overestimating his own strength. The sword in his hand could soon split Ye Fan's hand and split his body into two.
"Zheng!"
The next moment, a sound of gold and iron came from the venue, which seemed particularly harsh in the silence.
Immediately afterwards, an incredible scene occurred in the venue——
Looking closely, I saw that Ye Fan's right index finger was completely unwound, without any flaws, not even a hair-sized scar.
On the contrary, the sword in the guard's hand actually shattered inch by inch and fell to pieces on the ground, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, the guard felt an unprecedented force, sweeping over him like a volcanic explosion. He flew upside down for more than ten meters like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, and fainted with a tilt of his head.
Ye Fan lowered his head and looked down at him, stretched out his hand to rub the nail of his index finger, shook his head and said:
"Hey...it's such a dull knife, it's not even a nail clipper! Are there all such weak novices in the Holy See?"
