Zhuge Qingqing still remembered Lu Fan, and Lu Fan had been protecting her after the accident, so she was also grateful, so she did not refuse Lu Fan's kindness.

In addition, she felt that she was in danger alone, what if those weirdos who could use flying swords found her again. This time she has a mission.

She was almost certain that her uncle had died at the hands of those men, and that she would have no one to rely on. The things in the family must be done by her alone.

According to his uncle, the Zhuge family suffered a catastrophe in their early years, and many clansmen were forced to come to Fandigang from China to seek the protection of some kind of force here, so they were able to escape. This time, because he was approached by the enemy again, he could only come here to join them.

But Zhuge Qingqing didn't know where these people lived, and even the second uncle who suddenly came out of nowhere, so she was now in a state of helplessness.

Just now she witnessed Lu Fan's majesty and felt that Lu Fan should be able to help, so she decided to follow Lu Fan to the Holy See to see and understand, and then seek his help.

On the way, Zhuge Qingqing simply told Lu Fan about the matter. Lu Fan didn't understand too much, but he didn't ask carefully, because he was about to meet the Pope.

The Holy See is located on a high mountain, with a total of twelve palaces, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The palace on the top of the hill is the most splendid and magnificent, and the scale is simply as large as the entire Forbidden City. Because the mountain is so high, it looks like it's standing in the clouds.

The Golden Zodiac, the twelve constellations distributed on both sides of the ecliptic. The Sun travels from west to east on the ecliptic and orbits the sky once a year. The zodiac signs, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. Earthlings are able to see all the constellations in succession within a year.

Legend has it that there is a gold-level paladin stationed in each palace, who was born to protect the Pope and will never allow the enemy to cross the thunder pool, and their fists are all beyond the speed of light, and their strength is very extraordinary. According to Lu Fan's thoughts, it is very likely that these people have reached a level similar to that of the Yuan Infant Stage.

In other words, with Lu Fan's current cultivation, he can't compare with others. Fortunately, he didn't want to offend the Pope, on the contrary, he also wanted to use the Pope's power to improve his cultivation, and he also had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Archbishop Lu, welcome to you. When Lu Fan arrived at the gate of the first house of the Golden Zodiac, he saw Arthur at the door to greet him. However, he did not see the so-called twelve golden paladins. I just faintly felt that there was an incomparably powerful divine consciousness snooping on me in the palace.

"Hello, Arthur. Lu Fan walked over and said.

Arthur was a little embarrassed and said: "Archbishop, I'm really sorry to hear that you have encountered some trouble on the road, and blame our staff for being too careless to treat a person like you as a criminal, and we will definitely deal with this matter seriously." His Majesty the Pope is still very concerned about you. ”

"Oh. Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders: "His Majesty the Pope does not live on the top of the mountain, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of steps along the way, can I use a flying sword to fly up." ”

"Of course not. Arthur immediately said very seriously: "Walking is a kind of respect for Your Majesty, you can't use any magic here, otherwise the twelve paladins who guard the Pope will immediately attack you, and no one will want to escape." ”

Lu Fan thought to himself, with twelve Yuan Infant Stage monks guarding him, no wonder the strength of the Holy See is so strong, even those Great Gate Sects in Huaxia do not dare to infringe on it, you must know that the Great Gate Sect in Huaxia does not necessarily have three or five Yuan Infant middle and late stage monks.

But if the twelve were only in the early Yuan Infant period, then the late Yuan Infant monks in Huaxia could also kill them cleanly.

But the strength of the Pope himself is not easy to say, it is said that he is the closest person to God in the Western world, is he a master of the late stage of ascension?

"Haha, Arthur, don't be too nervous, in fact, I'm just casually talking, well, I definitely have special respect for His Majesty the Pope in my heart, there is no doubt about that, so let's go meet him now. ”

Arthur nodded with satisfaction, and explained the etiquette of meeting the Pope to Lu Fan along the way, but Lu Fan didn't listen carefully, only memorized some of them. Most of his attention was focused on spying on his divine sense, and he found that in the twelve palaces, there were indeed twelve divine senses that were much stronger than his own.

These divine senses are different, some are treacherous, some are reckless, some are full of justice, and some are extremely cold, in addition to two forces, which make people feel mysterious, they are vague, as if they are nothing, and they actually make Lu Fan feel uncontrollable.

Sure enough, the twelve paladins of the Holy See are much higher than the level of those cardinal archbishops outside, so it's better to be a little more disciplined here. Lu Fan kept an eye on it.

After passing through the Golden Zodiac, Lu Fan and Arthur came to the main entrance of the main hall on the top of the mountain, where there were many guards in bronze armor standing at the door, they were armed with swords and guns, majestic, standing meticulously in the wind, and they didn't look at him.

"Bronze Paladin. Lu Fan thought to himself.

Lu Fan walked inside again, and the person he met was wearing silver shining armor, and the strength on his body was obviously much stronger than bronze. Some of them were arrogant, and some were very polite to Lu Fan.

At this time, Arthur took Lu Fan through the foyer, and then went up a hundred steps, and his eyes suddenly opened up. Just behind the giant Roman column, there was a huge dining table, and there were four people sitting on either side of the table, because they were not wearing armor, so Lu Fan didn't know what their identities were.

In the middle of the dining table sat a middle-aged man in a black robe, a crown, and a scepter. The man had a red beard, small but majestic eyes, and did not exude domineering power, but a kind of convincing majesty.

This person must be the Pope, because Arthur did not introduce him, and Lu Fan could not take the initiative to go over to say hello, this is the rule of the Holy See.

Arthur walked over with his waist clutched on his chest, bowed loudly and said, "Your Majesty the Honored Pope, this is Cardinal Archbishop Lu Fan from China, your distinguished guest. ”

The Pope looked at Arthur and Lu Fan and suddenly stood up, walking slowly with a scepter: "Lu Fan, I have heard of you, I heard that you have made great contributions to the Holy See, and once obtained a golden holy armor, I am very pleased for your arrival. ”

Next it was Lu Fan's turn to appear, but unfortunately, until now he has not found out the Pope's true mana, maybe the gap between the two sides is too big.

"Your Majesty the Honorable Pope Solomon, Cardinal Archbishop Lu Fan sends you my sincerest respects. Lu Fan hurriedly walked over, bowed his head to the Pope and covered his chest like Arthur. But Arthur clearly told him that the first time he met the Pope, he knelt down.

I don't know if this kid forgot or deliberately pretended to be stupid.

However, the Pope did not seem to notice this, he smiled faintly, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and said, "Please take a seat, let's talk." ”

Lu Fan pulled out a chair and sat down, and at the same time pulled a chair for Zhuge Qingqing: "Oh, Your Majesty, this is my sister, I brought her to travel." ”

At this time, there was a black-haired and blue-eyed young man at the banquet, but he cast a strange look at Zhuge Qingqing, as if he had known her for a long time.

"So, this girl is also surnamed Lu?" the man asked.

Pope Solomon glanced at the man: "Karl, you are the representative of the Veron family, the economic pillar of our Vatican, do you know this Chinese girl?" I can tell you seem to care about him, why?"

"Oh, no, I just think I've seen it somewhere. The young man, Karl, smiled indifferently.

Lu Fan noticed that the mana of the four people sitting beside him at this time was by no means as strong as that of the Zodiac Paladin, and it was almost the same as himself. But they actually let the pope be a guest of honor, is it because they are all rich people? It seems that it is yes to what I just said.

"Well, in other words, it's a misunderstanding. As representatives of the four great families of the Vatican, how about we make a toast to this young and promising cardinal? This time, he led the clergy of our Holy See, and dealt a heavy blow to the Dark Society, and I admire him very much. The Pope smiled.

"Your Majesty, Dear Pope, you are so polite, this is what I should do. Lu Fan drank the red wine in the cup, smiled, and sat down again.

At this time, the young man named Carl suddenly opened his eyes wide and said: "Don't you say that I forgot, I heard that there is a treasure in the old legend of the wolf clan, the name is the bloodthirsty demon core, and the prince of the wolf clan, Lucian, is the carrier of this magic core, I don't know if you have seen this magic core after you defeated him." ”

"See. Lu Fan said bluntly.

"And where is the bead now?" said the young man, Karl, who was not sure if he was at the behest of the Pope or if he was interested in the bead himself.

"Oh. Lu Fan pointed to his chest: "I have swallowed it, and now it is in my stomach, it seems to be quite useful." ”

"If you swallow the Bloodthirsty Demon Core, then won't you become a werewolf?" said a middle-aged white fat man sitting across from Carl as he stood up abruptly.

"No, I'm feeling pretty good. Lu Fan smiled: "We Huaxia have our Huaxia spells, I can suppress the demonic nature of the demon core, you don't have to worry about me." I was also afraid that this thing would go out and cause disaster, so I gave up my body and sealed it as a container. Lu Fan said righteously.
