Chapter 672 [The Wind Rises]

The Vatican City State is the smallest sovereign state in the world and the least populous country in the world, located on the Vatican Heights in the northwest corner of Rome, the capital of Italy, bordering Italy on all sides.

Although the Vatican is a small country geographically, Catholicism has a worldwide influence in the fields of politics and culture due to its large faith population around the world.

In the early morning, the world-famous St. Peter's Square, St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums are all famous for their visitors, but the Vatican Palace, known as the center of the world's Catholic Church, is quiet.

In the palace, in the world-famous Sistine Chapel, Pope Mario, as in the past, put aside the scepter, a symbol of power and status, and held the Bible.

Outside the church, Pope Mario's chief of guard was dressed in a knight's uniform handed down from the Middle Ages, with a silver armor on his upper body, a silver helmet on his head, red feathers exposed above the helmet, and a thin sword in his hand, standing there like a steel spear.

He seems to be protecting Mario, but in fact he is just trying not to disturb Mario easily, and Mario, who is in the top ten on the god list, doesn't need his protection at all!

A moment later, footsteps could be heard in the corridor ahead, and Mario's chief bodyguard heard the sound and saw a figure walking towards him.

The visitor has long golden hair, a standard melon seed face, a pair of bright blue eyes, and a set of tailor-made white robes, which completely supports her graceful figure and shows her noble temperament to the fullest.

She was none other than the Holy See Virgin Serena, the goddess of Catholics all over the world.

"Good morning, noble saint."

Seeing that the Saint Serena came alone, Mario took two steps to greet her, and saluted respectfully.

"Please inform His Majesty the Pope, Serena asks to see you."

Although she is a noble saint, Serena did not put on the slightest display of a saint, but slightly opened her pink lips, showed her white teeth, smiled and spoke, and her tone gave people a sense of approachability.

"Venerable Holy Maiden, please wait."

Mario's chief of guard saluted again, then turned and walked to the door of the church and knelt on one knee, and said with a reverent face: "Your Majesty the Pope, the Holy Lady Serena begs to see you." โ€

"Let her in."

In the church, Pope Mario heard the report of the chief of the guard, put down the Bible in his hand and moved his mouth slightly, but ...... But the sound was clear outside the church.

"Venerable saint, go in." Mario's chief of guard saluted Serena again, and then returned to where he had been.

Serena smiled and nodded, stepped forward with graceful steps, pushed open the church door, and stepped into the church with delicate little steps.

Entering the church, Serena turned around and closed the door before walking towards Mario.

"His Majesty the Pope."

Soon, Serena walked five meters in front of Mario and stood still, saluting respectfully.

"Serena, you're here to say goodbye to me, aren't you?"

Mario's shriveled face smiled kindly, and he looked at Serena as if he were looking at his own child.

And in fact, Mario did treat Serena like his own child, and Serena was something he watched grow up with!

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope."

Hearing this, Serena nodded slightly, her eyes showing a little apology, "Thank you Your Majesty the Pope for giving me this opportunity." โ€

"Ugh."

Facing Serena's acknowledgment, and sensing the apology in Serena's expression, Mario sighed softly.

Because...... Under the leadership of the Son of God, Dixie, the Divine Net is expanding rapidly, and Europe seems to be calm on the surface, but secretly there is some chaos.

In such a situation, when Serena proposed to go to St. Petersburg for Mass, Mario did not approve of it, fearing that Shenwang would do something to Serena.

Later, in the face of Serena's repeated requests, he changed his attention - in the way, he was too doting on Serena, and knew that St. Petersburg was Serena's hometown, and Serena's biggest dream in this life was to be able to go to St. Petersburg for a mass.

Moreover, he sent someone to investigate and learned that Odin, the leader of the Divine Net, was still recuperating from his injuries and retreating, and in his opinion, since Odin had not left the customs, even if he gave Dixi ten dares, Dixi would not dare to provoke the Holy See.

"Your Majesty, Serena promises to go back this time." Seeing Mario sighing, Serena, who had just passed her twentieth birthday not long ago, said coquettishly like a little girl.

Mario smiled bitterly and asked, "All ready?" โ€

"Well, the carriage is ready to leave at any time."

Serena nodded: "In addition, the twelve Holy Knights are also ready, and have made contact with Bishop Raphael of St. Petersburg, and he will personally bring someone to pick him up." โ€

"Now that you're ready, let's go, go early and come back early." Mario smiled when he heard this.

Like a child rewarded by her parents, Serena said with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Pope." โ€

Mario didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, and Selina saw this, saluted, and withdrew.

A minute later.

Mario's chief of guard entered the church, respectfully knelt on one knee, and looked at Mario with reverence on his face: "Your Majesty the Pope, your most loyal servant, Sora, is at your command. โ€

"Sora, although Odin has not recovered from his injuries until now, he ...... In the midst of your caution, you will send twelve more Holy Knights to secretly protect Serena, and make sure that Serena returns safelyโ€”"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Sora heard this, she received the order as soon as possible, without the slightest surprise in her heart.

Because as a saint, Serena is not only a symbol of the Holy See, but also deeply doted on Mario, and it makes sense for Mario to send twenty-four holy knights to protect Serena.

Half an hour later, a luxurious carriage left the Vatican under the guard of twelve holy knights.

"I don't know what the outside world is like......

Out of the Vatican, a holy knight dismounted and lifted the curtain of the carriage for Serena, who looked at the bright sunshine, a bright smile bloomed on her delicate face like a ceramic doll, and walked out of the carriage full of curiosity - this was the first time she had left the Vatican since she became a Holy Woman of the Holy See.

And because the Vatican does not have an airport, she needs to take a car with twelve holy knights to Rome airport, and then take a plane to St. Petersburg.

As a venerable saint of the Holy See, Serena attracted much attention, and as soon as she left the Vatican, the news spread to the ancient castle that was the headquarters of the Divine Net, and also to Frankfurt.

For many, Wall Street is the world's financial center, but for the richest people on Forbes' list, Frankfurt is the financial center.

All this because the headquarters of the Rothschild family is located in Frankfurt.

"As soon as money rings, bad words come to an abrupt end."

"As long as you are united, you are invincible; The day you break up will be the beginning of your loss of prosperity. โ€

"We must insist on family harmony."

This is the Rothschild family motto.

Money is the God of our time, and Rothschild is its prophet.

This is what the world says about the Rothschilds.

Just as Ford is synonymous with the American auto industry, the Rothschilds have long since become a symbol of the financial industry, and after 250 years of ups and downs, the family still thrives, accompanied by wealth and power.

This is a legendary family that has influenced the development of the history of the whole of Europe, and indeed the whole of the world.

Likewise, it is recognized worldwide as the first family!

Early in the morning, in a villa on the Rothschild family estate.

"Venerable Young Master Guti, I have just received news that the Holy Maiden Serena has just left the Vatican and will take a special plane to St. Petersburg for dispersal."

A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood in front of the desk in the study room of the villa, respectfully saluted the young man sitting at the desk, and said: "According to the exact information, she did not shorten her trip because she was sick two days ago, she will stay in St. Petersburg for three days. โ€

As the words fell, the young man looked at the young man named Guti, waiting for the other party's command.

As Guti's personal assistant, the young man knew that Guti, who was regarded by the outside world as the future successor of the Rothschild family, had fallen in love with Serena at first sight since he met Serena at the Vatican two years ago.

And the patriarch of the Rothschild family, that is, Guti's grandfather, not only did not object to this news, but also supported Guti to pursue Serena, a holy woman of the Holy See can get married, but she must step down before deciding to marry, and she can not resign and marry until a new holy woman is elected.

Unlike Guti, Guti's grandfather did not fall in love with Serena's granddaughter-in-law, but in the Holy See behind Serena - with the current power and status of the Rothschild family, if it is married to the Holy See, which has many Catholics and huge influence in the world, it will be of incomparable significance for the Rothschild family to consolidate its position!

"I see."

Hearing his assistant's words, Guti, who had short brown hair and was wearing a linen shirt, nodded.

"Venerable Master Guti, when are you going to leave for St. Petersburg?"

The assistant understood that Guti had been asking him to pay attention to the news of the Holy Lady Serena in order to meet Selina again, for this reason, seeing that Guti did not instruct, he hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to ask: "I have to order the people below to prepare in advance." โ€

"In two days." Guti pondered for a moment and said, "By then, Serena should have finished Mass." โ€

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to prepare." The assistant leaned slightly and tried to step back.

"Dika, wait."

Guti stopped his assistant Dika and said, "Recently, I have only been busy with the family business, and I haven't paid attention to Pei's news one

What is his condition now? โ€

With the news of Pei Donglai's use of the Chinese Alliance to wash Japan's blood, Pei Donglai has become the focus of many forces and families around the world, among which Guti, who is known as the future successor of the Rothschild family, has also developed a strong interest in Pei Donglai.

As Guti's assistant, Decca naturally knows this.

Even...... He also said that there are not many people in this world who can be valued by Guti, and his peers are less than a slap in the face

The greedy wolf Xi Hu, who is regarded by the outside world as the future successor of the Xi family and the Huaxia Alliance, is counted as half, and Di Xi, the son of the god of the divine net, is counted as one!

In this way, Pei Donglai is the second peer of the same age who is particularly valued by Guti in addition to Dixi, the son of the god of the divine net!

Because of all this, hearing Guti's inquiry, Dika didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "Back to Master Guti, ten days ago, he killed a guy named Merck in the fighting match of the Peaceful Military Competition, and that guy is one of the twenty-four ghosts of the Mafia Parliament. Nine days ago, Subodhi and Batian, who were supposed to play in the semi-finals, withdrew from the tournament and handed him the title. โ€

"Looks like those two guys are both defeated." When Guti heard this, he was not surprised, as if he had guessed that Pei Donglai would defeat Merck.

"That's how it should be."

Dekka nodded, and said, "According to the arrangement of the peaceful military competition, the last team competition will be held tomorrow. The island where the team competition is held is not far from St. Petersburg, so if the young master is interested, he can go and watch the battle. โ€

"Oh?"

When Guti heard this, he showed a little interest, and thought for a while: "This is a good proposal, if the Chinese Dragon Soul Special Forces led by him have not participated in the competition by then, it is indeed worth watching the battle." โ€

"Young master, I will personally contact the Russian ** side later, presumably they will not refuse this little request of young master." Dika said with a smile.

Guti bowed slightly, acquiescing to Dika's proposal, and his eyes showed a rare hint of anticipation.
