Chapter 2280: Holy Clothes

The moment the words fell, there was a sudden rumbling sound along the exterior of the church! The sound was deafening, like a torrent of rolling thunder sweeping through the sky, and everyone knew that such a sound could only be made by the heavy wooden door at the entrance of the church, and there was no doubt that the church had been sealed off, as Bertrand had said!

For a moment, these cardinals in the arena suddenly fell into panic, and everyone looked at Bertrand and the Templar members stationed around them in horror!

But no matter how they patrolled, the holy light emanating from those members of the Knights Templar was still cold and ruthless, sealing all the hopes in their hearts and not giving them any chance to escape!

Even at this moment, there are already many cardinals who wonder if what Bertrand said just now is a lie, and whether he imprisoned his own people here in order to kill people and kill his mouth, so that he can sit firmly on the papal throne!

"Bertrand, what are you going to do?" Antonio spoke coldly, his eyes looked directly at Bertrand without fear, and asked in a deep voice, "Who gave you the power and qualifications to imprison us here?" Do you think that your position as head of the Templar Order and the Inquisition alone can restrict the freedom of us bishops? ”

"Nothing restricts your freedom, it's just that you can't leave!" Bertrand didn't have any expression on his face, smiled coldly, and said indifferently to Antonio: "No matter what Cardinal thinks in your heart, but you can't deny it, this is the power of strength, without strength, you are not qualified to leave here, and I have the strength, so I can naturally decide everything!" ”

When these words were released, there was silence in the room. Although they didn't want to, they also had to admit that everything was exactly as Bertrand said, this was indeed the strength of the blame, although they had a noble status and could become cardinals respected by countless believers, but without strength, they couldn't even have the freedom of action!

Strength! Why don't I have the strength to obtain the inheritance, even if it is a heretical inheritance?! Listening to Bertran's words, Antonio clenched his fists, his bones rattled, and his face was full of unwillingness!

"What the hell are you leaving us here for?!" After being silent for a long time, Antonio's expression finally calmed down, and then he slowly raised his head, looked at Bertrand, and said lightly: "We people have no magic inheritance, and we don't have the strength, no matter what you do, we can't stop you, why do you want to imprison us?" ”

As Antonio said, whether Bertrand wanted to occupy the papal throne or had other plans, but they were not able to accept the inheritance, and they simply did not have any strength to stop Bertrand from making any moves, and they could not even ask questions. Why did he imprison them here?!

"No, you're wrong, you're not useless, there's one thing in you that I need!" Bertrand shook his head slowly, then got up from his throne and walked down slowly, saying to Antonio with a playful look on his face.

Got something Bertrand needed so much?! When Antonio heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, he really didn't understand what was worthy of Bertran's attention in his body, and looking at Bertran's expression, it didn't seem to be a fake.

"Cardinal, don't be in a hurry, you'll soon understand what I'm talking about." Bertrand seemed to see the doubts in Antonio's heart, and after chuckling, he clapped his hands lightly, and said slowly: "Now, I want to show you something!" Didn't you come here this time to know what the Pope wanted to use to stop the Chinese heretic's westward crusade, and now I will show you the arrangement of the Pope! ”

The applause was crisp, and it sounded slowly in the empty church, like a drum beat!

Bang! Bang! Bang! And with the sound of this applause, along the dark part of the church, there was a sudden sound of uniform footsteps, dozens of figures slowly appeared, and their steps were like elephants trampling on the ground, and even the cardinals felt that the whole church was trembling!

After a few moments, these figures finally slowly stopped in front of the cardinals! Each of these people looks very special, with a strong body, an incomparable absolute might, armor, immovable as a towering mountain, and silent as a dark sea where duckweed cannot float!

What's even more surprising is that it's the armor these people are wearing!

The armor on these men was very similar to that worn by the Knights Templar today, but in terms of gloss, it was a few points worse, with no ornate ornamentation or flickering light, and each one was dull, as if it had been cast from the most primitive bronze, with only a faint metallic luster.

Moreover, on these armors, there are all kinds of imprints, pits, and if you carefully distinguish them, you will find that these marks are all traces left by swords or arrows! There are even a lot of armor attachment locations, and there are a lot of rust marks, these armors, as if they were taken out of a museum!

"What is this?" Looking at the armor worn by this group of people, some cardinals were puzzled, they didn't understand what Bertrand was showing them these for, if this was Bertran's means to deal with Lin Bai, it would be too ridiculous, just the style of these armors, it seems that as long as they poke lightly, they will be shattered, and they are defenseless.

"This is ......" But unlike other cardinals, Antonio, who has more insight into the secrets of the Holy See, looked at those armors for a long time, but his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he only felt like he had seen these armors somewhere, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly burst out in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "Holy clothes!" This is the Holy Clothes?! ”

"The cardinal is indeed a cardinal, and he is more knowledgeable than the others!" Hearing Antonio's words, Bertrand smiled approvingly at the corner of his mouth, bowed slightly, and then, as if caressing his lover's skin, his fingertips brushed over the rusty and scarred armor very gently, and then said, "As you say, these are indeed holy clothes!" ”

Holy Clothes?! As soon as these words came out, the venue suddenly fell into silence, and everyone's faces showed disbelief!

What is the holy garment, that is a legend circulating within the Holy See, in the legend, these holy garments, are the angels in the past when the war with the devil, worn by God, blessed by God, and then the fierce battle ended, the holy clothes were left in the world, but since then, the holy clothes have completely disappeared, the world thinks this is just a legend!

The second appearance of the legendary holy clothes was at the time of the Crusades, and it is rumored that at that time, in order to enhance the combat power of the army, the Pope at that time took out the holy clothes and handed them over to the Crusaders!

But with the disbandment of the Crusaders later, the traces of the holy clothes dissipated in the long river of history, as if they had evaporated out of thin air, leaving only legends and no traces.

But now, this holy garment has reappeared in front of everyone, how can they not be surprised?!

"The Holy Clothes, the robes of the Divine Son, the convergence of all the combat power!" Looking at the stunned and inexplicable crowd, the smile on the corner of Bertran's mouth became brighter, as if talking to himself, and as if he was puzzled, he said lightly to everyone: "Like you, I only thought that this holy garment was just a legend at first, but it wasn't until they dug it out of Jerusalem that I confirmed that everything was real, not just a legend!" The glory of our Lord will endure forever in the world. ”

"What are you letting us stay here for?" Antonio forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, slowly raised his head, looked at Bertran's eyes as unpredictable as the dark night sky, and said in a deep voice: "It can't be as simple as showing us these holy clothes and letting us know that the holy clothes exist in the world, right?" ”
