Unconsciously, Fang Xiao and Hoover walked around the Holy City for a day, the sun had gradually approached the ground in the west, and the original yellow-white and bright sunlight had begun to glow slightly red at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe ancient holy city in the sunset is rendered in a reddish twilight color, quiet and peaceful.

Hoover led Fang Xiao to the last stop in the Holy City, where the two of them were at the foot of the majestic and sacred palace perched on the top of the mountain.

Fang Xiao followed Hoover around the Holy City for a day today, and he had looked at this palace from afar countless times, and he could feel the ethereal and holy temperament emanating from this palace from afar. And when you really stand at the foot of this mountain range and look up at the palace, you can personally experience the sacred and noble and majestic feeling that this palace brings to others, like a god standing high, looking down on all beings, and everyone seems to be as small as dust in front of it, making people unconsciously want to bow down and bow to this sacred palace.

"This is the center of our holy city, the Temple of Light," Hoover tilted his head, looked up at the temple reverently, and said with respect: "Different from the branch hall I saw just now, this is the main hall of our Illuminati Cult, the center of our Illuminati Cult, if the Holy City is the heart of the entire Illuminati Cult, then this is the heart of the Holy City." ”

"Oh! Yes! It's good, it's powerful! Fang Xiao nodded and sighed, but he finally couldn't help it, and said to Hoover, "Can we find a place to eat first?" ”

You must know that you have been on the road for the past few days, and as soon as you come to the Holy City, you will be dragged around by Hoover, although Hoover seems to be quite enthusiastic about himself, but until now he has not even allowed himself to eat a bite of food, what kind of trouble is this!

Could it be that the Cult of the Illuminati has a tradition of bullying newcomers? In that case, why don't you follow the ordinary routine and just find someone to rush in front of me and despise me, and then everyone happily fights, forms enemies, and slaps in the face, isn't it good?

Why do you want to use such a cruel method of not giving food?

"Don't be in a hurry," Hoover laughed, "Big man, it's not a big deal to eat one less meal!" ”

“......”

It seems that the individual is determined not to give himself food...

"The purpose of bringing you here is not for you to visit the temple," Hoover said, pointing ahead with his hand, "That's what I brought you here for!" ”

Hoover was not referring to the high palace, but to the stone steps in front of the palace.

The stone steps are 100 meters wide, it seems to be directly excavated from the mountain, starting from the ground, extending along the mountain to the magnificent gate of the palace, the color of the stone steps looks a little strange, the two sides of the stone steps show a common gray stone color, which should be the true color of the mountain stone, and the middle part is a kind of white, it looks as if it is white marble, but it is more pure white, and it also faintly exudes a faint brilliance.

The stone steps were much more lively than the streets of the Holy City, and there were many ordinary believers kneeling on the stone gray stone steps on both sides, prostrating in the direction of the temple above.

And on the white stone steps in the middle, there are a lot of clergy from various branches sitting scattered in colorful costumes, and the distribution of these clergy is getting smaller and smaller the higher they go, their expressions are not relaxed at this time, their faces are painful, as if they are trying their best to endure something, and many of them are already sweating.

Hoover pointed to the stone steps and explained to Fang Xiao: "I believe you have also felt it, this stone step is not ordinary. When you step on the white stone steps, you will feel that there will be an invisible light force pressing on you from all directions, and the higher you go, the greater the pressure! This kind of pressure is of great benefit to those of us who cultivate the power of light, helping us to consolidate our foundation and help us break through the ranks. This stone staircase was given to us by the God of Light, and we usually call him the "Holy Stone Staircase". It can be said that the entire stone staircase is an artifact! ”

"Well, it's good, it's powerful! So? Fang Xiao glanced at Hoover beside him and asked.

"I won't hide it from you," Hoover smiled, "Before you came to the Holy City, the news about you had already spread in the Holy City, and I believe that many people were interested in you, including me. Hoover did not shy away from continuing: "I hope you can climb the Holy Stone Steps, don't hold back, let's see your true strength!" ”

What a hassle...

Fang Xiao raised his head and looked at the palace that was high above and far away, and couldn't help but ask

"How many steps are there?"

"No more, no less, a full 10,000 steps!"

"Do you need me to climb to the top?"

Hoover shook his head: "You can climb to the limit of the pressure that your body can bear, the height that a person can reach on the holy stone steps is related to his own strength and the degree of comprehension of the power of light, it is not as simple as it seems, in the current Cult of Light, only the current pope can complete the journey, you must know that in the Cult of Light, not every pope can stand on the 10,000th stone steps, and the rest of the popes are above the level of 9,000 steps, so you just need to climb as hard as you can, Climb to the maximum height you can withstand the pressure. ”

You're talking about it easily!

Seeing the grinning and painful expressions of those people sitting on the stone steps, Fang Xiao knew that this would definitely not be an easy task.

"Why don't we go to dinner first? I'm hungry and I don't have the strength to crawl! ”

"We'll eat after the climb!"

"We can't eat until we're done?"

"That's right! Eat after climbing! ”

I had no choice but to climb the steps first...

Am I being bullied?

"Okay." Fang Xiao had no choice but to turn around and walk to the holy stone steps, take a step forward, and walk up the stone steps step by step.

"Be careful!" Behind him, Hoover exhorted in a loud voice: "Don't be greedy! Climb to the highest you can tolerate! ”

"Got it!"

Looking at Fang Xiao's somewhat distressed back as he stepped on the steps, Hoover smiled, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart, not looking forward to the height he could reach on the stone steps, but looking forward to the heir he called Raphael.

This man gave himself the impression that he was far from what he imagined, and after a day together, Hoover would forget most of the time that this man was a cruel and ferocious bloodline. Instead, he unconsciously regarded him as an ordinary person, and told him some past events that he would not easily mention to others.

It feels like leading a new kid in the gang before.

Why do you have such expectations?

Probably because of intuition!

What a strange person...

"Thank you, Lord Hoover!"

Just as Hoover was staring at Fang Xiao's figure slowly climbing the stairs, a girl's voice sounded in his ears.

Hoover turned his head and looked at the tall girl in a priest's robe, with eyes as sharp as a blade, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Don't thank me, it's not just you who wants Fang Xiao to climb the holy stone steps. ”

"But I still want to thank you for giving me such an opportunity."

"Andrea, don't force yourself too much" Hoover looked at this girl who had grown up like his own sister, and looked at her staring at Fang Xiao's figure firmly, Hoover couldn't help but sigh: "He is a son of light, how high he can climb, even I can't guess." ”

"I know," Andrea said in a serious tone, looking at the young man who was slowly and easily lying on the steps.

"If I don't even have a competition, I will not be reconciled if I decide that he is more suitable than me to be the successor of Pope Raphael!"
