Chapter 63: What about the Pope?
Fandigang City is the most famous small city in the human world, not only because it is a holy place for two billion believers in the human world, but also because the city has never experienced war for more than 2,000 years and has left a large number of cultural and artistic treasures, from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the essence of Western architectural art in the past 2,000 years, all of which are pearls in the history of human civilization.
As our convoy entered the city of Fandigang, travelers and pilgrims looked at Zhu's unusually large off-road vehicle with strange eyes, and the huge machine gun on the car that glowed with the blue light of the forest.
When entering the Alpine border, although the stagnant wind that was one step ahead had already informed the other side where we were going, the army guarding the border was still facing the enemy, with the explosion-proof vehicles in front of the road, the armored vehicles behind the formation, and the helicopter gunships overhead kept circling.
I picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Zhu: "Expose the machine guns, put up the national flag and the SAR flag, and tell the other party that if we don't remove these things within five minutes, we will do it ourselves." ”
Zhou Huai'an looked at me with reverence, and then with a wave of his hand, several immortals flew into the sky with flying swords, escorting them on both sides of the convoy. Soon the flies were gone.
I turned around and smiled and said to Zhou Huai'an: "I came out this time to represent the country and the SAR. ”
Zhou Huai'an smiled and nodded, and sitting next to him was the elder of the Magicians Association, Li Xin, who poked his head over and said, "When I came, Chairman Devouring had already explained, and it was the Lingxiao City Lord who led the team, but we all have to listen to His Highness." ”
I shook my head and said, "You can do whatever you want, I told you what I wanted." ”
The convoy drove straight into St. Peter's Square, I got out of the car, told them to wait at the door, and headed straight for St. Peter's Church.
St. Peter's Basilica, officially known as St. Peter's Cathedral, was built in the 16th century and was continuously designed and perfected by architects such as Bramont and Michelangelo, and took decades to complete. It is the most famous Renaissance building and the largest church in the human world, also known as the Fan Digang Basilica, which has become a symbol of the church and Fan Digang in a certain sense.
When I walked into the church, the guards at the door tried to stop me, and with a wave of my hand, the two guards flew straight to both sides.
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, and as I sat on St. Peter's throne, a group of guards with halberds more than two meters long hurried into the church, forming a circle around the throne as if facing a great enemy.
The men of the escort sat motionless in the car, watching as the guards ran into the church as if they were laughing. Zhou Huai'an was not at ease, and he and Lixin walked into the church and stood beside me.
The captain of the guards drew his sword, and with a wave of his hand, the captain's sword came out of his hand and flew diagonally up to the dome of the church, and with a "dang" sound it was inserted into the stone statue of the dome.
The captain shuddered and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"
I squinted at the Tiffany glass on the dome of the church, the sunlight shining through the stained glass, and the colorful dust dancing in the pillars of light.
"Who are you?" Seeing that I didn't answer, the captain raised his voice and asked again.
Lisin said sharply, "Don't you have long eyes, what flag is hanging on the car outside the door?"
"Inhumans from the Immortal Realm?" the captain asked.
"Bold. Zhou Huaian yelled at the captain, making the captain tremble.
I continued to watch the dusty performance, without even changing the direction of my head.
A cardinal with white eyebrows and white beard hurriedly ran into the church, bent down and asked, "I wonder if it is the Lord of the Immortal God Realm, the chosen one, His Royal Highness the Heavenly King Wuzhong has arrived?"
I turned my head, glanced at the cardinal below, and said leisurely, "Call your pope to see me." ”
The cardinal bent lower and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please move to the reception hall." ”
I looked up and continued to admire the decorations in the church.
Lisin sneered and said, "Your Pope is lame?"
The cardinal suddenly raised his head and said hatefully: "His Holiness the Pope is the representative of Christ in the human world......"
I waved my hand in annoyance, turned to Lisin and said, "After all, he is the representative of Christ on earth, and if he does not want to come, you can invite him." ”
Lisin bent down and gave me a chest salute and said cheerfully, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
The cardinal was shocked and hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, wait, I'll go and ask His Highness the Pope of Rome immediately." ”
Lisin ignored him and walked straight out.
The cardinal was in a hurry and chased after Lisin.
Zhou Huai'an smiled and said to me: "Your Highness is really good." ”
I smiled and said, "Since the old man in the cabin wants to be the shopkeeper, I will make a big deal out of it. ”
Although Zhou Huai'an's face was full of doubts, he didn't ask again when he saw that I was appreciating the decoration in the church with great interest. I didn't explain, so far I'm very satisfied with Zhou Huai'an's performance, this is a veteran, he knows what he should know, what he shouldn't know and shouldn't ask.
After a while, several cardinals and a group of guards surrounded Lisin and an old man into the church.
I looked up and saw Lisin holding a stick in his hand, stabbing the old man in the waist.
The old man walked to the throne, bowed deeply, and said: "I am the contemporary Pope Fonda of Rome, and I don't know that His Highness is coming, and I am disappointed and offended. ”
I withdrew my gaze from the dome and leaned down to hold my chin in my hand and stare at Fonda.
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Fang Da seemed to be a little angry, and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to humiliate me like this, if you have any requests, say it directly, after all, I am a contemporary pope." ”
I looked at him with interest, still not speaking.
Zhou Huai'an sneered and said, "What about the Pope? In the eyes of my Immortal God Realm, he is just a local chicken and a dog. ”
The pope was angry, and the cardinals were in an uproar.
I laughed and said, "The Pope doesn't need to be so frightened, this king came this time just to visit an old man, and I happened to hear that Fan Digang City is the culmination of Western culture in the human world, and it is just a matter of sightseeing, by the way, by the way, hahaha." ”
The Pope sneered and said, "The throne on which Your Highness sits is the throne of my Saint Peter, and even if the Son of God arrives, he will be respectful to him." ”
I smiled and didn't speak.
The Pope continued: "My church has always been respectful to the divine realm, and I dare not disobey for a long time, I don't know where I offended His Highness?"
Lisin sneered and said, "Where is Main?"
The Pope was relieved and said, "Mann is imprisoned in the Sistine Chapel because he has offended the messenger of God. ”
I looked at Zhou Huai'an, but he didn't speak, Li Xin sneered and said, "You guys are really bold, my God Realm Great Elder, are you so good?"
The Pope sneered twice, just staring at me without saying a word.
Lisin angrily reached out and grabbed the Pope's neck, and a cardinal next to him shouted, "Bold." He reached out and patted it at Lisin.
Zhou Huai'an laughed and said, "It's a good time." Floated in and slapped the cardinal.
I saw that the cardinal did not move, but Zhou Huaian floated back to the same place, and after standing still, he looked at the cardinal with his hands in his hands and sneering.
The cardinal's other hand held the arm that was facing Zhou Huai'an's palm, bit his lip tightly, and remained motionless, and after a few seconds, starting from the cuffs, the clothes on his body were torn inch by inch, leaking out the arm that had been twisted into a ball.
By this time Lisin had seized the Pope, took the Pope in his hand like a chicken, and said to the cardinals, who had no color on their faces, "Take us there." ”
The Pope laughed and said, "Your Highness, is that what you mean?"
I clapped my hands, stood up and said, "I heard that the museum in Fan Digang is very well repaired, and I have long wanted to go and see it." ”
The Pope smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”
I waved my hand, and Lisin put the Pope still underground, and the Pope staggered, but still stood up straight, straightened his clothes, and stretched out his hand to the injured cardinal, saying, "Lord bless you." ”
I looked at the Pope coldly, only to see a white light shoot out of the Pope's hand, and the cardinal's arm miraculously returned to its original state in an instant.
Zhou Huai'an smiled and said to me in Chinese: "This pope has two brushes. ”
I laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's more than two brushes." ”
But the Pope stretched out his hand and made an invitation, and said in Chinese: "Your Highness, please." ”
I looked at the stunned Zhou Huai'an and laughed, and said, "Pope, please." ”
When I walked out of St. Peter's Basilica, I found that there was not a single tourist or pilgrim in sight outside. Zhu pulled the machine cannon, and the escort confronted a group of men in full-body armor and riding tall horses, while the immortals and magicians stood on the roof of the bus, pointing at both sides.
The Pope turned to me and said with a smile: "This is the Knights Hospitaller under the Church, and Your Highness looks mighty?"
The White Knights are one of the three famous Knights of the Church, this Knights has a brilliant record and is said to be the most powerful armed force under the Church. All I know is that they founded their own state, later became an observer state in the United Nations, and have recently been fighting with the island, but I don't know that they are still under the jurisdiction of the Church.
Zhou Huai'an chuckled and said, "The church wants to start a war with the Immortal God Realm?"
The Pope smiled and said, "I have also heard of the prestige of the Lingxiao City Lord, but it is said that my church has only been related to the Divine Realm since ancient times, but the Immortal Realm has very little contact, I don't know what the Lord of Zhou is here?"
Zhou Huai'an smiled and arched his hand at me, turned his head to the Pope and said: "You are too lonely and unheard, since His Royal Highness the Heavenly King Wuzhong came to the Immortal God Realm and established the Special Zone, now the two realms of the Immortal God are one, and the matter of the Divine Realm is the matter of my Immortal Realm, what other questions do you have?"
The Pope smiled and said, "Okay, I've been waiting for a long time to bathe in God's grace, but it's difficult to get God's guidance. ”
Lisin was about to speak, I laughed hahaha, and said: "Okay, although my Immortal God Realm Special Zone has been established for more than six years, it is only an economic exchange with the human world, and there are few exchanges in other aspects. ”
The Pope smiled and said, "As His Highness wishes." ”
Lisin sneered and said, "Is it a single fight or a group fight?"
I laughed and said, "It's up to the Pope." ”
The Pope smiled and stretched out his hand, and the knights and the escort did not move, but the ground between them suddenly stretched a large piece, and the distance between the two sides became more than a hundred and ten meters. And in the open space between the two people, an enchantment appeared out of thin air.
The Pope said to me: "Your Highness, just for communication, let's take the ten solo matches as the standard." ”
I said, "If you play alone, don't these knight brothers appear in vain? Let's have a group fight first, just the king's escort against the knights, not to mention that there are fewer people, anyway, it's a group battle. This king has a lottery, which side wins, and each of the participants can get a one-year free coupon for eating, drinking, and having fun in Lingqiu City in the Immortal God Realm. ”
The people of the escort corps were in an uproar, and in the Special Administrative Region, such free coupons can only be obtained by model workers and people who have made special contributions to the country or the Special Administrative Region, and in the six years since the establishment of the Special Administrative Region, there are only a few dozen winners.
Zhu drew his broadsword behind him, jumped out of the car and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, brothers, for the sake of free tickets, let's do it." ”
The immortals and mages of the escort drew their weapons and rushed towards the barrier with a roar.
Zhou Huai'an said with a bitter face: "Your Highness......"
I looked at the immortal and god two-mirror masters on the bus who looked enviously at the guards, stretched my clothes, sat down on the chairs set up by several monks, and said with a smile: "Free coupons, I have a lot, there are opportunities, take your time." ”
The Pope, who was sitting in a chair next to him, looked at the guards strangely, stretched out his head and said to me, "Your Highness, do you have several guards?"
I touched my chin and said, "That's it." ”
The Pope said, "Oh!"
Zhou Huai'an suddenly realized, and looked at the screaming guards with pity.
Li Xin quietly asked Zhou Huai'an behind his back: "Old Zhou, what does the Pope mean by this?"
Zhou Huai'an whispered: "How can the escort team have a year's vacation?"
I coughed twice, and Zhou Huaian hurriedly stopped his mouth and looked into the field with me.
