"Are you alright?" Honglian lowered her head slightly and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's okay, it's good, it's very good" Kaliel secretly rubbed her eyes, adjusted her state and looked up.

The archbishop had finished speaking, the papal knights had returned to the backstage with the box, and the whole festival had entered the rest of the festival step by step, which no longer made any sense, and Kahlil thought about ending everything quickly, and then going to connect with the people of the Holy See.

She looked at the crowd for a while in a daze, and then came back to her senses from her recollection, pulled the sleeve of the red lotus and said to her, "Let's go first, change to the side, I'm going to the Radiant Temple later, it's too crowded here." ”

"Okay then" Red Lotus thought about it for a while, then took Carlil's hand again, and pulled the two of them to quickly squeeze into the outfield, and watched from a distance where there were many loose people.

The Temple of Radiance was not far behind the high platform of the plaza, and a simple map could be found everywhere nearby, and Carlil was bent on slipping through it when it was over.

"You're the one the Holy See is talking about?" Qing Xi looked Karil up and down meaningfully, and couldn't think of anything to do with a fox girl and a Pope who had been dead for many years.

"Are you sure? Actually, what is that box? Red Lotus was also intrigued by Qing Xi's words, she didn't know much about Kaliel, and basically she wouldn't be too surprised to hear anything.

Looking for me?

Who else could it be but me!

Kahlil wanted to answer loudly, but the place was not suitable, so she shrugged and replied, "Yes, I was worried about how to get the Holy See to let me enter the Tower of Atonement, and I was even ready to kill it, you see"

As she spoke, Kahlil pulled some potions out of her cuff and flashed her Hidden Blade under her right hand.

"But I didn't expect Angelo to leave me such a big gift bag, which saved me a lot of things, that box......" Karil thought for a moment, thinking about what to say.

"A safety device with a cipher disk, which controls the switch of the box by internal precision machinery, was made from a guy who liked to do all kinds of machinery"

The guy went on to start an organization called the Assassin League, which Karil withheld from causing further conversation.

In fact, that guy actually became an assassin instead of producing various construction machinery, which also made Karil feel very confused. But it's also relieved to think that Angelo was able to become a pope for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets......

It seems that in the end, I will be miserable enough.

"What's in there?" Honglian asked curiously.

Kahlil continued to shrug: "Open it and know".

In fact, there is another question, Karil has never figured out, how Angelo knew to arrange a festival on this day fifty or sixty years ago to summon him, the time is really accurate.

Maybe it's really God's will......?

Thinking about what happened to me, this explanation doesn't seem so difficult to accept, otherwise I would definitely still be holding a pillow at home, not a fox tail here.

Well, let's ask when the time comes.

"What is in the Tower of Atonement that you have to trouble finding it?" Qing Xi knew that Karil was coming to find someone from the moment he came out, but he never knew that the person was the Pope, and he didn't know what to do with him.

More than sixty years! The corpses are all dry!

"There's going to be a lot of stuff, if it goes well, come in with me and have a look," Karil gave a thumbs up.

"It's good ......"

A few people here are chatting in private, and the ceremony is still going on, anyway, it has nothing to do with the three of them, and after Karil gets the clue to the mission, it doesn't matter if the ceremony is not a ceremony, it's just a matter of waiting for when it ends.

So the three of them waited until noon in the sun. It was nearly eleven o'clock, when all the rituals were finally completed, and everyone began to slowly leave, and Kaliel took a deep breath of relief and looked in the direction of the Temple of Radiance from a distance.

"It's time to go, now that they've all sent out invitations"

Kahlil smiled slightly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Qing Xi and Red Lotus glanced at each other and followed.

As at the entrance, everyone left the square along the road they had come from, but it was clear that the flow of people was much denser at this time, and several main roads ran through the east and west directions of the square, but it was still very crowded, which made Carlil feel that the decision to be squeezed out first was an unusual name.

Come, Holy See and Angelo, what kind of things have you prepared for me?

Passing through the crowd from the outer path, it took the three of them a long time to reach the Radiant Temple, a huge temple built out of huge stones, giving everyone standing in front of it a great sense of oppression.

"Yes, what a brilliant ......"

Qing Xi paused and exclaimed, and looked up at the relief at the top of the main hall.

Kaliel didn't care whether Red Lotus and Qing Ci had followed or not, and when she saw the temple from a distance, she began to subconsciously speed up her pace, and couldn't wait to step forward.

And it just so happened that the archbishop who had been announced on the high platform before was also there, and several bishops were talking about something in front of the Radiant Temple, and three papal knights were standing behind him, and when they saw Karil walking up quickly, a group of people interrupted the topic, looking at her with slightly expectant eyes.

"Welcome, friend, maybe it was my lord's will to have you here, didn't you?" The archbishop greeted him warmly and asked with a friendly smile.

"And Pope Bloomer," Carlil added, her gaze wandering over the expressions of several people, and resting on the box held by the Papal Knight.

"Are you, then, the child chosen by Pope Bloomer sixty years ago?" asked the archbishop directly.

"I think that's exactly the case," Karil nodded earnestly, splitting the sentence into two phrases, trying to suppress the slight tremor in her tone.

Kahlil even felt that she was only one step away from her goal.

"Please, my child and her friends, thank God, it seems that the mystery will be revealed" The bishops smiled, sincerely happy that the Pope's last wish had been fulfilled. They consciously stepped to the sides, allowing the archbishop to lead the three of Karil into the Temple of Radiance.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, and it is an honor to meet you, chosen by Pope Bloomer" The archbishop led the way, followed by Kaliel, followed by the Qing and the Red Lotus in two rows, and then the other bishops and papal knights, walking the red carpet in the temple together.

There are sculptures of angels and demons all around, reliefs of heaven and hell carved on the walls, and a huge mural of heaven and hell at war on the 10-meter-high dome. These let the red lotus and the Qing Shrine walk around and admire it, and by the way, admire the exquisite craftsmanship of the sculptor.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time," replied Karil, who was now preoccupied with running to the Tower of Atonement.

"Oh? It seems that there are many mysteries that you need to solve for us......" The archbishop smiled in surprise.

At least Angelo's original will was covered, and Carlil wasn't worried about what would happen now.

"If I have a chance, by all means"

The archbishop pushed open a door on the side of the temple and led the group up the spiral staircase, finally to a conference room on the second floor.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thank you"

"I think we can get started?"

"Of course, anytime, as soon as possible"

That's what Kahlil was waiting for, Qing Ci and Red Lotus sat on the side of the reception room indifferently, waiting for Karil while admiring the layout of the room, Kahlil and the archbishop sat down around the round table, and the papal knight then placed the box on the table.

"I don't think there's any need to say anything superfluous, everybody's clear, right?"

The archbishop confirmed, and everyone nodded in understanding.

"The one who can prove your identity, that is, this box that Pope Bloomer left in the first place, is this" The archbishop pushed the palm-wide square box in front of Carlil "Pick it up, open it, I hope everything goes well, child"

I hope so, too!

Karil was a little impatient to take the box in her hand, and it was heavy in her hand, but it was lighter than expected.

"It's immune to almost all elements, and there's nothing where you can insert a key, except to open it with the ring on it, I think there's only one possibility of breaking it, and of course, that's not Pope Bloomer's intention," the archbishop added, looking at Karil holding the box a little stunned, a little anxious in his heart.

"I understand......" Karil muttered under her breath.

There were no surprises, she just remembered a lot of things from the past, and this box was also part of the memory, a box called the lockbox in Carlil's words, a small gift made by the silver-haired girl who liked machinery, and gave it to Angelo Bloomer who was about to go on a long journey.

The box contains an unusually delicate and regular disc, divided into eight concentric circles of different radii, each nested in layers, carved with a full circle of scales. Coupled with the tightly fitting black lacquered wood shell, this little thing has no traces of more than 60 years at all, and it is still as shiny as new.

On one side of the surface of the box, Angelo's last sentence is engraved.

"Leave me with the most turning point in my life"

Karil knew exactly what it meant to open it.

Is it the most turning point?

Carlil laughed, and sure enough, Angelo must have realized that he had made a very stupid decision, and if he met him, he should take the opportunity to laugh at him. She gently pushed the outermost ring with one finger, and after the green drive, the ring rotated smoothly, comparing the scale marked by a triangle next to it, and adjusting the outermost number.

So everyone held their breath and looked intently at Karil, watching her expression change with joy and sadness, and then, after a brief hesitation, the scale of the ring was spun.

Layer by layer, unravel the last secret left by Angelo.

The innermost layer, Carlil's fingers trembled slightly, adjusting the smallest ring scale into place, from the outside to the inside, the scale on the ring was connected into a neat series of numbers, representing the days that had been remembered by Angelo.

Click......

A crisp metallic sound.

Kahlil slowly grasped the edge of the box and gently opened it.

There was no light, no sound, no special movement, and even what was inside had to be seen by everyone leaning over.

There was only a simple, dusty blank piece of paper.

"You're finally here, I've been waiting for a long time"
