Sophie is quite smart, but she doesn't dare to say that she comes from some mysterious place. After all, the abilities she shows are not magical.
Therefore, her 'origin' is relatively simple, that is, she was taken in as a disciple by an old man since she was a child, and she has been practicing in a deep mountain and old forest. The master did not tell her who to look for, but just asked her to go out to the mountain to practice, so her
Blood magic, which even the Vampire Clan could not use, immediately attracted the covetous attention of the heads of the thirteen clans of the Vampire Clan.
If it weren't for the presence of other forces of the Dark Council and the Holy See, the thirteen old bats would have almost started to fight and rob people.
All the elite masters from both sides gathered here. No one wanted to have a fight to the death. Both sides were immersed in the joy of being gifted with talents. How could they care about those people who died in the bar?
Only the werewolves and bearmen felt aggrieved. They had gained nothing, and a lot of their people had died. But at this juncture, it was impossible for the vampires and the dark wizards to stand up for him for such a trivial matter, and the Holy See even more
He will not give up Xia Lei for the so-called overall situation, even if he goes to full-scale war with the Dark Council for his sake.
In the end, after a few words of bickering, both sides parted ways and went back to their respective places. Some of them died, but no one took the low-level people to heart. Being able to win over wizards like Xia Lei, Xian Di and Sophie was already worth it.
What a great event to celebrate.
Next to Rome, the capital of Italy, the Vatican City is the core hub of the Holy See.
This smallest country in the world has no status on the surface, but in fact it has an unparalleled status. It is the imperial city of the entire Catholic Church and the place where the so-called spiritual beliefs of Catholics are.
Pope Heidemer took Xia Lei's arm affectionately, took him into the papal hall inside St. Peter's Basilica, and placed him next to the papal throne, on the seat that originally belonged to the Inquisitor. After all, he is God.
As a representative in the human world, even if this prodigy comes from heaven, it does not mean that he is worshiped as an ancestor. The Holy See still respects the Pope. There is no doubt about this.
"Your Excellency Caesar, has your master brought any special news?" The pope's tone was very gentle, calling the false name Xia Lei told him.
"Your Majesty Heidemore."
Xia Lei was not arrogant at all, and bowed respectfully: "Master didn't instruct me what to do, he just said that God's enemies have done something bad, and asked me to come here to assist His Majesty in dealing with these dark creatures. Kasa is still young,
I don’t know many things. This world... well, the knowledge here was instilled in me by master through divine magic, but I can’t use it well yet, so I will carefully carry out your Majesty’s instructions.”
Deliberately pretending to accidentally refer to him as "this world", this made the Pope more determined in certain ideas, and he regarded Xia Lei as a child without a city. This kind of person would not threaten his status, right?
Nodding with satisfaction, the Pope glanced majestically at the senior members of the Holy See: "His Excellency Caesar has a special status. From now on, he will have the same power as me. You must give him enough respect. Do you understand? Then..."
Having said this, he looked at Xia Lei again: "Are you interested in leading the Inquisition? As an institution of the Holy See that specializes in cleaning up heretics, you can better understand dark creatures there. Of course, the Inquisitor will spare no effort to bring all the
Knowledge teaches you, for in addition to the foul dark creatures, we have many powerful enemies."
"Praise God, I will definitely work hard to convey the glory of our Lord." Xia Lei said happily.
"Our Lord is omnipotent. Your joining will speed up the transmission of holy light and let the glory of our Lord shine on the entire universe."
The pope's expression was solemn, but he was secretly happy: "If you are not allowed to contact the political power and enter the parish below, you will not be able to establish your own power. The inquisition is equivalent to an army, and there is a chief judge above it to clamp down.
It won’t affect my status, right?”
Xia Lei naturally understood what he was thinking, and smiled to himself: "I didn't want to fight for power with you. You never thought that we came here to frame the entire Holy See, right?"
The two of them had different thoughts, but on the surface they seemed to respect and understand each other. After a few casual words, Xia Lei was taken away from the Pope's Hall by the chief referee.
A similar thing happened in the Dark Council. The Dark Speaker from the Dark Mage lineage also found that Santi had no city to speak of. As a result, Santi inexplicably became the nominal disciple of the Dark Speaker, but also lost the opportunity to control power.
, this satisfies the little girl's psychology. With her current status, the senior leaders of the Dark Council still don't treat her respectfully?
On the contrary, there was a small problem with the Blood Clan, and the Thirteen Clan almost took action to compete for Sophie. In the end, this girl was given a title similar to the guest elder in the Thirteen Clan.
The three of them put on a wonderful show and successfully infiltrated the dark forces in Europe.
Not long after Xia Lei left the Pope's Hall, a burly man nearly two meters tall, with blond hair and blue eyes and extraordinary handsomeness walked in and knelt down on one knee respectfully: "Your Majesty, please report urgently."
The pope's expression froze, he looked at other senior members of the Holy See, and asked with a gloomy face: "Is North America taking action?"
Odd, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, stood up and nodded: "Norway, Sweden, and Finland were raided, and a large number of middle and low-level priests and knights died. Andrew, the central bishop of the Swedish region, returned to the embrace of God, and the other two central bishops
The bishop was seriously injured."
There are several levels of administrative levels in the Holy See. The highest level is naturally the Vatican City, the headquarters, followed by the central regions based on the country. And then below are the cities within the country, centered on a large city, radiating outward.
groups, then single cities, counties, and towns.
Although the power of the Holy See in these three countries is relatively weak, it still exists at the second administrative level. Which bishop in the central region does not have the strength of the red archbishop?
These people are all high-level elites of the Holy See, and every one of them has a master-level cultivation level equivalent to the early stage of integration.
How many years?
How many years has it been since an elite of this level fell?
boom!
Huo Ran stood up and pressed his palm on the throne. The throne inlaid with countless gems and made of gold was turned into gold water by the holy flames. The pope's body was trembling and he roared crazily: "They killed Andrew? Those people
Damn barbarians, uncivilized apes, cleansing... servants who dare to kill the Lord, they must be cleansed most thoroughly, these despicable microorganisms should not exist in the world!"
Unfortunately, there are only nearly twenty cardinals in the entire Holy See. Adding in the powerful men of the same level in the Inquisition, there are only less than thirty people in total.
These thirty people are the strongest beings in the Holy See. They are the emperors standing at the top of the pyramid. Even if one person is lost, it will be a huge blow to the Holy See. Now that one person is dead and two are seriously injured, this kind of result is simply not something that the Pope can bear.
Yes, as the highest person in charge of the Holy See, he must respond to this.
At this time, a central bishop bowed slightly to the furious Pope and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we have received news two years ago that there seems to be something wrong in North America. Although we don't know the exact cause, we can see it.
, they are eager to attack the powerful forces in the world, if we..."
As his calm voice penetrated his ears, the Pope's anger obviously calmed down a lot, and he frowned tightly.
There is another point that only Xia Lei and the others vaguely guessed, that is, in two years, North American high technology has completely entered an embarrassing state of stagnating. The technological solution they developed from the demon aircraft has been completed in these two years.
After the process from theory to research and development, with the departure of the aircraft, it is no longer possible to continue to develop new technologies.
At the same time, North America has certainly spared no effort in the past two years to transform its high technology into weapons, and has entered a state of full war preparations as early as two years ago.
Why does North America dare to attack major global powers so boldly?
The reasons couldn't be simpler. First of all, science and technology cannot progress. In the long run, it will only continue to be consumed and become more and more disadvantaged. In addition, technology is different from other cultivators of dark forces. The cultivators have not changed much for thousands of years, and are even more advanced than in ancient times.
It is still weak, but technology is constantly improving through research and development.
A few decades ago, North America was able to rank among the great powers. After these years of development, no one knows how strong they have secretly accumulated.
Anyone with a little brain knows these truths. The Pope suddenly fell into thinking. He didn't want to be the first person to confront North America alone. The Holy See's strength would be greatly damaged by then, and other forces would come to catch the cicada.
, and even if the Dark Council takes advantage of it, it is extremely worthless.
After being silent for several minutes, he frowned and waved his hands: "For the time being, call back all the bishop-level priests and knights and let them all gather in Rome. In addition, the Holy See has announced that it will hold important ceremonies, and various countries have suspended large masses and other activities.
I have to think carefully about my next move."
After saying that, he turned around and left distractedly. It wasn't until he entered the palace that a smile appeared on his face.
Dozens of delicate or gorgeous female priests in white robes knelt on the ground respectfully. Their glances at the Pope were filled with crazy admiration and fascination.
"My children, the Lord will bless you."
He still had that kind look, as if he had compassion for all life in the world, but the golden robe disappeared out of thin air. Under the seemingly old face was a strong body: "As the spokesperson of the Lord in the world.
, I will give you vast and infinite love. Come, let me redeem the world, my little lambs."
Loose white robes fell to the ground one after another. Dozens of bodies like mutton-fat white jade appeared in the Pope's palace. One by one, the most beautiful female priests walked towards the Holy Pope with a holy face. It was an absurd meat feast.
It started as usual.
The pope shook his body crazily, shouting "God is omnipotent" while enjoying the graceful welcome under him, and his soul-stirring voice floated in the palace...
At this time, Xia Lei, who was at the training ground of the Inquisition, accompanied by the chief referee Albert and twelve round knights, was visiting the most powerful force in the Holy See - the Knights of the Holy See.
