After completing the baptism and selecting the treasures, Huang Shang and others were sent away from St. Peter's Basilica by the Pope and returned to the Vatican.
In addition, the Pope also gave each of Huang Shang and others a platinum ring. This ring is a symbol of status. With this ring, some of their expenses in the Vatican can be linked to the accounts of the Holy See.
Yes, they don’t have to pay for it themselves.
That’s right, it’s money!
Perhaps to flaunt freedom and democracy, or to enhance the happiness of believers and gain more power of faith, the Vatican can be said to be one of the freest and most democratic gathering places in the last days to a certain extent.
For those believers in the Vatican, except for some forbidden areas that are not allowed to be touched and some necessary rules that need to be followed, the Vatican has given them almost no restrictions in other aspects. Everything is laissez-faire and has even restarted the Vatican's dedicated currency system.
, these believers can earn "holy coins" through work or trade, and can use these "holy coins" to exchange for various cultivation materials and heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Holy See.
This mechanism is somewhat similar to the reward point system used by major ancient capitals in China, but it is more free.
Because of this, in order to earn more holy coins in exchange for more practice resources, believers in the Holy See are like ordinary citizens before the end of the world, and they have started various small businesses, and everyone has
It is very attentive, so in addition to the spiritual resources, the various infrastructure and services in the Vatican are very complete, especially in terms of food, it has completely surpassed the experience before the end of the world.
After all, before the end of the world, there were not so many extraordinary "ingredients" available, nor were there so many supernatural powers to assist in cooking, nor were there so many chefs gathered from all over the world.
In short, the next day Huang Shang and others had a rare day of relaxation after the end of the world. They walked around the Vatican, enjoyed various kinds of food, and even experienced various
Service can be said to be the most comfortable day Huang Shang and others have had since the end of the world.
The only thing he was slightly dissatisfied with was the fall. In his opinion, the regular Vatican experience was perfect, but the unconventional experience was not at all...
There is nothing we can do about it, after all, according to the laws and dogma of the Holy See, some colored services are impossible to appear in the Vatican.
Of course, Huang Shang and others did not care at all about the dissatisfaction of the fallen stallion. This guy happened to be thinking about that when he was injured. If I had known, he should have been injured more seriously...
However, enjoyment on the surface is enjoyment, but whether it is Huang Shang, Bi Xia, or even the one who enjoys the most happily, while enjoying these delicacies and services, they are also secretly doing two things to familiarize themselves with and master their new treasures as quickly as possible.
Or technique.
They knew very well that since the Pope personally baptized them, took them into the treasury to select treasures, and even discussed with the cardinal to give them certain priesthoods and powers, these benefits could never be given in vain, except for them.
In addition to the reward for everything you have done before, it is more about preparing for what will happen next.
And the most likely reason is to let them help in seizing the fragments of the World Tree.
This also means that once the Pope gets information about the World Tree fragments from Sauron, they will also start a new operation.
And this is what Huang Shang desires, because only by provoking a fight between the Holy See and Poseidon can he fish in troubled waters and get Heimdall out!
But what the emperor didn't expect was that they waited in the Holy See for two full days!
During these two days, the Pope seemed to have forgotten them and did not send them any news. He allowed them to wander around the Vatican, enjoy and rest. It was not until the fourth day after the sixth catastrophe that the Pope sent a message to them.
Huang Shang and others were summoned to meet him in St. Peter's Basilica.
In the past two days, Huang Shang and others have basically mastered the newly obtained treasure besides wandering around. However, the specific power will have to wait until they encounter actual combat before they can give it a try.
"How's it going? How have you been these two days?"
In St. Peter's Basilica, Huang Shang and others met the Pope again after two days.
But what was different from last time was that this time the Pope seemed to be in a better mood, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious. But when he glanced at Huang Shang and others, the deepest part of his eyes was
There will be a flash of slightly complicated color.
"Thank you for your happiness, His Majesty the Pope. We have had good food and accommodation these two days. We have not felt so comfortable for a long time."
Huang Shang nodded and asked: "His Majesty the Pope has called us here this time. Does he have anything to give you?"
The time in the last days is extremely tight. Now that they have completely grasped the harvest this time, there is no need to stay here and waste time.
"Yes, I have two things to tell you."
Seeing Huang Shang's straight-to-the-point question, the Pope, who was bent on sending out these random "bombs" as soon as possible, also said directly: "The first thing is that the decision on your priestly appointments has been made."
Having said this, the Pope paused slightly, and then continued: "Based on your achievements and some special circumstances now, after discussion, we unanimously decided to appoint Huang Shang to the position of 'Patriarch', and
Bishop and Fall, you are the metropolitans!"
"Patriarch?!"
Upon hearing the Pope's words, Huang Shang was shocked and showed a look of disbelief.
After deciding to temporarily surrender to the Holy See and borrow its power, Huang Shang also took the time to fill in some information about the Holy See. Because of this, he now knew how important the position of the Patriarch was!
If the Holy See is compared to a country, and the Vatican is the capital, and the Holy See is the president, then the Patriarch is the highest official of a municipality or certain administrative region. It can be said to be a highly powerful person, second only to the Pope in the Holy See.
In terms of position, even the Cardinal is inferior to some extent.
After all, although the cardinal has great power, most of this power is inward. If it were an official position that China is familiar with, it would be *****. However, the patriarch can sit in one place and be in charge of the administrative and military power of that party.
The general had an unparalleled status even before the end of the world. Even when the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church split, the Patriarch of Rome directly became the Pope of the Catholic Church, and the Patriarch of Constantinople became the Pope of the Orthodox Church.
This shows how important the position of the patriarch is.
But now the Holy See has given the extremely important position of Patriarch to an outsider like him?
Did the Pope take the wrong medicine? Or was it actually the Pope who made a counter-operation during the previous baptism and brainwashed himself?
