Chapter 821: An Accident Has Happened
This was quite unexpected by Zhou Chen, he didn't expect that this pope was still the king of Cybrus?
As we all know, the Pope is not only called the Pope, but also the father of the people, but also the lord and king of the Vatican, with royal power and ecclesiastical power, whether it is the Holy Roman Empire a thousand years ago, or Greece in the later period, the Vatican has always been an independent existence, a unique country.
Zhou Chen pondered for a moment: "Cybrus is just a small federal country, what can he give me?" Mr. Pope, if you are able to return to your country, why do you ask me fifteen years later? Shouldn't you have returned to Cybleus fifteen years ago? β
They are smart people with each other, and the promise of the puppet head has no meaning, which Zhou Chen knows very well, and the old pope knows that he really has no capital at this moment, whether it is the religious power or the royal power, it is no longer on his own body, even if it is, I am afraid it is not reliable, just look at his eyes slowly dimmed, but Zhou Chen said a word in his ear.
This rekindled his spirits and even filled him with fighting spirit.
Until the moment he got on the plane, the old pope looked at the scenery outside the porthole and said with undue emotion: "I haven't seen such a beautiful scenery in fifteen years." β
Vatino drank red wine on the plane and said lightly: "You have escaped for fifteen years, and today I finally arrested you back to the Holy See, speaking of which, you have to thank me for relieving you of such a difficult situation, maybe when you return to the Holy See, His Excellency the Pope will spare your life." β
How could the old pope not know? Who will show mercy to the change of power since ancient times? If he is the initiator of this coup d'Γ©tat, then after his victory, of course, he must eradicate his enemies as soon as possible, so that he will never be able to pose any threat to himself!
And how could he not understand his situation now? Therefore, all his hopes are actually placed on Zhou Chen's body.
The Papal Court is very wide, when the plane landed on the tarmac of the Papal Court, one of Vatino's hearts finally fell to the ground, and when he arrived here, it was safe, even though he was escorted by Zhou Chen's ghost-faced army along the way, but how could he really rest assured that the head of the old Pope was still there, and Vatino would not sleep for a moment.
Then, the Vatican City resounded with a burst of grand and elegant music, with the red carpet rolled out of the city, the old pope looked up at the Vatican sky, this was once his world, but now, but no longer belongs to him, with this music, Zhou Chen and his party have entered the Vatican City.
The Vatican, an independent city, is the only country in the world where the clergy and the royal power are equal, it is not only the general residence of the Western Holy See, but also a dynasty, and the owner here is the current Pope, Julius III.
Immediately, Julius III led the crowd to greet him, and he wanted to see what kind of mysterious person could capture the old pope who had escaped for fifteen years!
Julius III is now well-established, and it seems that the congregation and the faithful have long forgotten that there was an unprecedented change of clergy fifteen years ago, and that Julius III is no longer the pope who did not have a lot of power when he first ascended the throne.
Just look at him today wearing a snow-white papal gown, wearing a cross on his chest, and a gold crown set with more than 100 diamonds on the top of his head, which is probably one of the most expensive crowns in the world.
Immediately, Julius III had already seen this young man walking in front of the crowd, only to see Julius III walking towards Zhou Chen, stepped forward and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou from afar, the Western Holy See welcomes your arrival!" β
Zhou Chen nodded, and Julius III stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was puzzled, and Vatino kindly reminded on the side: "Mr. Pope, let you kiss the back of his hand, this is the highest courtesy of the Holy See." β
"What?" Zhou Chen was a little surprised, he wanted to kiss his hand himself?! How is this possible!
Immediately, Zhou Chen politely refused, and waved his hand and said: "We Orientals don't have this habit, and I am not a believer in Mr. Pope, so there is no way to do it." β
Vatino translated Zhou Chen's words word by word to Julius III, and Julius III's face changed slightly, but soon he had already prevaricated, and several people and his party successfully entered the most dangerous position in the Vatican City, the Papal City in the center of the Vatican.
With the sound of music, Zhou Chen finally smiled faintly, and thought to himself: "This foreigner is engaged in these falsehoods, it is better to kill them directly, but it will save trouble." β
However, Pope Julius III seems intent on humiliating the old pope, only to see the old and the new duo step by step on the steps of this magnificent Gothic palace.
Standing on this high place, the old pope naturally had an indescribable melancholy in his heart, looking at the high Julius III, with a victorious attitude, the old pope was in awe of the biggest enemy in the past, if it weren't for his own weakness, how could this pope's seat be snatched by him? If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't good at iron-blooded, the sovereignty of the Vatican wouldn't have fallen into the hands of Julius III.
Facing the large number of believers outside the palace, Julius III felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart, and immediately announced loudly to everyone: "The old times have passed, the new ones have come, and at this moment, I declare!" β
"Your Excellency!"
"My Father!"
The cheers were deafening, and Zhou Chen was also standing on a high place, looking at all this in front of him, and he also had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"The new era is now!" Pope Julius III stood at the top of the palace and spoke proudly.
The sound of the tsunami was overwhelming, and at this moment, an astonishing decision was finally made within the Holy See to confer on Julius III the title of "Saint", and henceforth, he would be called "St. Julius III!" β
I have to say that this is an astonishing move, because less than one-third of the nearly 270 popes in the Holy See have been awarded the title of saints, and these popes with the honor of the Holy Word have made very outstanding contributions to the Holy See!
Julius III was a little complacent at the moment, but he was still sober, he knew that he was able to ascend to the top and become the Holy Pope, who played a decisive role in it, so he only saw Pope Julius III say again to everyone: "Cardinal Vatino, who has done his best for the Holy See for many years, has worked in many ways, has made outstanding achievements, has the title 'Phil', has the right to vote for the Pope, and with the consent of the Pope, appoints him as the next Pope!" β
Vatino was also stunned, but then he was relieved, this is just an honor, how can he live until Julius III dies? He's nearly twenty years younger than himself!
Immediately, Vatino stood up, bowed to Julius III, and stood silently.
Immediately afterwards, Pope Julius III continued: "Zhou Chen, the Ghost Face Military Sect, is the most honored guest of my Western Holy See, and he has been granted the honorary cardinal archbishop of the Western Holy See, and he has the right to vote for the pope! β
Everyone was in an uproar, except for Vatino and Julius, others didn't know why Zhou Chen was allowed, even Julius III had just learned the details of Zhou Chen from the information sent by the Holy See, Ulius III almost fainted when he first read Zhou Chen's information, and he couldn't imagine that the ally that Vatino was looking for had such strength?
Don't look at the huge scale of the Western Holy See, it seems to control all the sectarian resources in the West, but in the final analysis, it has no money, how can Julius III not be tempted when he encounters such a super-rich man as Zhou Chen? If he is willing to support himself, then not only will he be able to stand in Europe, but he will also be able to intervene in the Americas and Australia to develop his own congregation, so that his title of saint can be regarded as solid.
Zhou Chen didn't have any interest in showing off politics, watching the old pope being insulted, and the new pope Julius III was proud, I really don't know how he got this pope, Zhou Chen still has another thing in his heart, that is, watching the sword.
Then the next meeting was even more boring, Pope Julius III had the intention to woo him, and Vatino was also afraid of losing the big tree of Zhou Chen at this time, so it was the pope and cardinal archbishops of the Western Church who kept fighting.
Zhou Chen watched coldly, but he ate hastily, out of the gate of the papal court, and then saw the old pope and Urta, in the cage outside the bad church, it is said that this cage has been prepared for fifteen years, and now it can be regarded as just in use.
Zhou Chen smiled, glanced at the old Pope who was in the cage and wanted to fight the trapped beasts, and took the soldiers of the Ghost Face Army to fly back to the Bishop's See.
Rothschild, who hadn't spoken for a long time, called, and naturally brought good news, a diamond rough weighing 60 carats was produced in the East African diamond mine, which made Zhou Chen overjoyed, and at the same time, his heart couldn't help but be gloomy, what was the use of coming by himself? It's just a stone.
The Rothschilds' sales ability is truly extraordinary, and this rough diamond has been bought by the Austrian royal family at a high price in less than three hours from its appearance to auction, and Zhou Chen's business empire has now entered a relatively stable and rapidly developing situation, and he has no need to worry about this.
On the other hand, when the sword watcher watched the sword today, there was an accident, when Zhou Chengan arrived, it was too late, the strong sword qi instantly cut off one of the sword watchers' arms, Zhou Chen arrived, just saw this scene, the broken arm was useless, Zhou Chen sealed the sword watcher's body with a silver needle, and the other hand pressed on his arm, and then said: "What the hell is going on?" β
The sword watcher's face was pale, at this time he had lost too much blood around his body, Zhou Chen hurriedly gave him a blood pill, and the sword watcher opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Originally, I thought that you would come to watch the sword and be able to comprehend with me, but unexpectedly, I was like this with my junior brother many years ago, I thought it was the misfortune of my junior brother, but now it seems that this is the hidden law of this sword." β
Zhou Chen said with a surprised face: "What law?" β
The sword watcher breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Since it has chosen you as the master, then you are the only one who can watch the sword, in the past I thought that my junior brother's death was just an accident, but now it seems that it is not, I am the second sword watcher, it was the junior brother who watched the sword first, and there was no progress, so I will get involved in it, but I can't imagine that this sword still has such a doorway, my junior brother must have been killed by the sword qi of this sword species!" β
The words of the sword watcher made Zhou Chen wake up like a dream!
It is precisely because of his own appearance that he has been watching the sword smoothly, he fell into danger, if he hadn't rushed back in time, I'm afraid that the sword watcher at this time would have already lost the last trace of life!
