Chapter 705: The Holy See of Light and the Council of Darkness (Chapter 2)

Xu Yinglong knew that Nangong Pengfei's worries were very necessary, Huaxia was the strongest among all the countries competing for the treasure under the sea, and the battlefield of the competition was still at Huaxia's doorstep, Huaxia could mobilize reinforcements at any time, such an advantage was not possessed by other countries. As a result, the rest of the countries want to get their hands on the treasures under the sea, and Huaxia has become their biggest stumbling block at present.

If any country can make a multinational joint team, then it can make another multinational joint treasure hunting team. There is nothing surprising in this, because under the temptation of huge profits, people are most likely to become devils, and no one is exempt from vulgarity.

However, Xu Yinglong is not worried about the union of these countries, garbage will always be garbage, and how much garbage is gathered together is a rabble, and it is absolutely impossible to become an invincible elite. The ninjas of the Wa Kingdom and the onmyoji Xu Yinglong have already seen it, and they have a bit of an advantage in front of ordinary people and ordinary warriors, but they are far behind dealing with real monks. Especially with those monks who cultivate Haoran righteousness, the loss is even more complete.

Although Xu Yinglong, an American supernatural, has not seen it, but Huang Sicheng mentioned it when he reported to him just now, saying that those people rely on spiritual power and elemental ability to fight, and they have great destructive ability and strong combat effectiveness, but they are naturally flawed, and it is not a big deal.

And those masters in the Huaxia cultivation world are different, although Xu Yinglong does look down on their self-righteous stinky fart, but those old guys in the Huaxia cultivation world do have some real kung fu, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with these guys. It's just that Nangong Pengfei mentioned the Western Holy See and the Dark Council just now, and so far Xu Yinglong has not been in contact with these two major forces. It is unclear whether these two forces are as powerful as they are rumored to be.

"Nangong, you don't have to worry about the United States and other countries for the time being. I'm sure they can handle it. Don't look at those old guys who are not at all happy when dealing with you, but they will definitely do their best when they encounter the super forces of those countries. Because there are rules in the cultivation world, every monk attaches great importance to his own territory, and no one is allowed to cross the boundary. Xu Yinglong comforted.

"Well, I hope so, the ruins of the underwater world this time are not trivial, so far we don't know whether its opening is good or bad, the Führer and others are very worried. At present, all the armed forces in the country have entered a state of first-class combat readiness, and all the missiles have been transported to various bases in case of any emergencies. Nangong Pengfei sighed and continued.

"There's nothing wrong with planning ahead. After all, no one knows what is about to happen, and no one knows whether it will lead to a multinational war. But that's all after the treasure is opened, and if the treasure under the sea doesn't come out of the water for a day, which countries will definitely not act rashly. Now I want to ask, how much do you know about the Holy See and the Dark Council? Xu Yinglong said again.

Nangong Pengfei was silent on the phone for a few seconds and then said: "The Holy See and the Dark Council in the West are a taboo at the top of various countries, mainly because their power is too great to compete with any country alone!" ”

"The power of the Holy See and the Dark Council is really so great, is it difficult for even the United States to compete with them?" Xu Yinglong asked with a frown.

"Xu Shao, you don't know much about these two forces. Of course, I don't know what makes it terrifying. Let's start with the Holy See, as we all know, Christianity arose in the 1st century AD, and at the end of the 4th century, Christianity became the state religion of Rome. It is not only a religious organization. Moreover, it was the largest feudal lord and the ruling power on the government. Due to the early feudal period in Western Europe, the royal power was weak, and the feudal division was strict. Christianity took advantage of the opportunity to expand its power. In the struggle of various feudal states, the Roman Church gradually became the largest fortress and spiritual pillar of feudal rule in Europe. ”

"Medieval Europe. The Church was the international center of feudal rule in Western Europe, and the Pope of Rome was regarded as the supreme representative of God on earth. The power of the pope is like the sun, and the power of the king is like the moon, and its brilliance is borrowed from the sun. Therefore, the pope has the right to depose the king and his position is supreme. Later, the power of the pope reached its peak, and Pope Innocent III advocated the supremacy of the church, claiming to represent God, and the emperor and king should obey him. He established hegemony in Italy, and the emperor was at his mercy, while the kings of England, Sweden, and Denmark bowed to him. ”

Listening to this, Xu Yinglong suddenly interjected: "These are all things that the Holy See did in the Middle Ages, and now after thousands of years of development, all the countries in Western Europe have completely gotten rid of the control of the Holy See, and the Holy See can still manipulate countries as before, I don't think it's possible?" ”

Nangong Pengfei smiled and said: "Xu Shao, you underestimate the heritage of the Holy See, the predecessor of the church was indeed formed in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, and it grew in Europe that always remembers. Many believe that with the defeat of the Crusades and the victories of the revolutions of the countries, the power of the Holy See has been dealt an unprecedented blow. According to the relevant report of the Holy See, there are about 1.16 billion people in the world, accounting for about 1/6 of the world's total population. The Pope can influence these believers by appointing church branch managers all over the world, and there is no other religious leader in the world who can win the applause of a billion congregations when he appears, and the influence of the Holy See has not been weakened. ”

"Although the Holy See actually controls only a small country with an area of only 0.4 square kilometers, its influence is difficult to estimate with its global radio, television and Internet systems, as well as its religious properties all over the world. From medieval tithes to modern asset investments, it is difficult to estimate church assets, and in the United States alone, the assets belonging to the church include churches, schools, and even seaside holiday homes, golf courses, television and radio stations, etc., with an annual income of at least $7.5 billion. These are terrible, but they are not enough to deter governments, and what really terrifies them is a special department under the command of the Holy See. ”

"Oh, what department would be so jealous of all governments?" Xu Yinglong asked curiously.

"Inquisition!" Nangong Pengfei said in a deep voice.

"The Inquisition? What the hell, and why are governments afraid of this institution? Xu Yinglong asked.

"The Inquisition, also known as the Inquisition and the Inquisition, is a religious court established by the Church. This court was the court responsible for investigating, judging, and adjudicating heresy in the Church, and imprisoned and executed dissidents. The most important thing is that there has always been a mysterious Knights Cathar under the command of the Inquisition, also known as the Knights Templar, this order is not only numerous, but also composed of super-powerful super-powerful super-powerful magicians or warriors, and it is even rumored that there are mysterious and powerful magicians inside. ”

"I see, but it's hard to imagine that a single Knightly Cathar could make so many nations afraid." Xu Yinglong said.

"Xu Shao, you don't know how powerful this church and the Knights Templar are, although this knight order said that it was devastated during the Crusades, but its power is still terrifying. You must know that the Holy See is equivalent to bringing the most powerful super powerhouses in Europe and the United States under its command, which is far inferior even to our Chinese government, and our people have secretly fought with the Holy See several times over the years, but each time it ended in our fiasco, which shows the strength of the Holy See! Nangong Pengfei said.

"What about the Dark Council, what kind of organization is this, and you can be regarded as a great enemy of the Holy See?" Xu Yinglong asked again.

Nangong Pengfei replied: "The Dark Council is the ruler of the night in Europe, although all the forces of the Dark Council are hidden in the shadows, but their power is not inferior to the Holy See. The Holy See has been clamoring for thousands of years to eradicate the Dark Council, but it has not been able to do so until now. Like the Holy See, the Dark Council has a powerful force called the Dark Knights. This order is made up of vampires, werewolves, and fallen knights, and is equally terrifying. ”

After speaking, Nangong Pengfei was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "This time, not only the Holy See is here, but the Dark Council has also sent masters, and it seems that they all want to grab the treasure." Although we have also sent all the masters of the major sects in the country, it is really not certain whether we can gain the upper hand in this battle for ruins! That's why the head of state is in a hurry to ask me to contact you, and if possible, please ask Xu Shao to contact your master for help. (To be continued......)
