Chapter 40: The Pope
Magic!
Qi Zhen himself had already left the place at the moment when Zaka's proliferated muscle tissue entwined the light at the tip of the scepter and rushed towards that side, and whether it was Zaka who was blown away, or the purple cardinal who burst out of the light film, all he saw was the illusion left by Qi Zhen in the same place!
At this moment, at the moment when the purple-clothed cardinal's mind was defenseless, Qi Zhen's voice appeared beside him without warning, and at the same time, there was also the tight fist wrapped in black armor!
Rumble!
Qi Zhen's fist struck the purple-clothed cardinal's body without any condensation, making a muffled sound.
However, to Qi Zhen's disbelief, the purple-clothed cardinal's body was not knocked away by this powerful punch, and he was still standing straight on the ground, but the expression on his face faintly changed from shock to anger.
Syllable!
With a soft sound, the jewel on the ring worn by the purple-clothed cardinal on the middle finger of his right hand shattered and fell to the ground under Qi Zhen's blow.
Qi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, if the purple-clothed bishop was invulnerable, then the Pope simply didn't have to fight.
Naturally, he was not interested in observing the change in the expression on the purple cardinal's face, and his body disappeared in place, and then appeared behind the bishop in an instant, and kicked him up.
Well, the old man who had lost the bishop's scepter and the bishop's ring was no match for young people like Qi Zhen and Xhaka in close combat, and the beating of the old man was too cruel......
Anyway, after the purple cardinal completely lost the ability to resist, Qi Zhen and Zaka stood side by side on the stairs to the last floor again.
"We're going to face the Pope in a moment, can you make a move?" Qi Zhen asked suspiciously.
A pun on the one hand, on the one hand, is about ability, and on the other hand, it is also about willingness.
Xhaka scratched his head: "I don't know either. β
"Otherwise, you'd better go back first, and I'll call you out after a while." Qi Zhen said.
Zaka pondered for a few seconds, a little irrepressible excitement: "That's the Pope, if it weren't for this incident, I might never have had the chance to see him in my life." β
Qi Zhen can probably understand this excitement when she is about to meet an idol, not to mention this unwavering faith.
"Either I can't do it, or I win, I'll call you out, you're afraid of something, it's not that you can't see it." Qi Zhen said.
Zaka thought for a while, didn't say anything else, and said to Qi Zhen to take care.
After Qi Zhen took Zaka back into the seed bag, a wry smile appeared on his face, with his style, if he wasn't worried that Zaka was an NPC that might bring himself into the pit at a critical moment, he wouldn't choose to cut off his arm at this time.
It can also be seen from this point that Qi Zhen has been successfully cultivated by the system to become a "mature" player with a cup bow and snake shadow.
Coming to the seventh floor, Qi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
After going around and around, I didn't expect to end up here.
The C virus Qi Zhen obtained it here, and Qi Zhen was so preoccupied with other things that she didn't have a chance to take a good look at the furnishings in the room.
Sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, projecting the mottled and artistically carved flowers onto the ground, exuding a halo of colorful light.
The sunlight here is not like the bright and piercing eyes on the sixth floor, which only makes Qi Zhen feel a little warm.
The smell in the room is not blindly rich, it smells a little like the smell of drying a quilt, but it is faint but makes people feel very comfortable.
At the top of the room is a dome with paintings of Jesus and other gods, and it is not known which story is being told.
The silhouettes of the figures were all aimed at the golden edges, and as Qi Zhen moved, the golden borders began to flow, and the whole picture suddenly became lifelike.
The furnishings in the room are simple but not simple, and the traditional European dΓ©cor makes the room look understated and luxurious.
Whether it is tables, chairs or other furniture, it is mostly white, beige, and occasionally gold, but it does not look extravagant.
The most things in the room are books, above the table and in the bookcase, densely placed, of which English books only account for a small part, most of the words Qi Zhen does not know much, but what surprised him is that he also saw a copy of "Zhou Yi" in it.
Walking slowly inside, there was a table at the end of the room, and behind the table, there was an old man, who was looking down and seemed to be reading a book.
Qi Zhen didn't bother him, walked straight to the opposite of him and sat down, and began to observe the old man in front of him.
To be honest, he doesn't have any intuitive feelings about the Pope as a person, especially since he has been immersed in the game for many years, and he always lacks basic respect for these titles that sound a lot like the final boss.
Along the way, Zaka introduced a lot of things to himself, and Qi Zhen finally understood how much power and status the old man in front of him had, and what he meant to believers.
The pope is first and foremost the pope.
If you have to explain, the Pope is the name of the religion, and the Pope is generally the name of outsiders.
The full titles of the Pope are: Bishop, Representative of Christ, Successor of the Lord of the Disciples, Supreme Priest (Pope), Patriarch of the West, Presiding Bishop (Prefect of the Y State), Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Province of L, Head of the State of Vatican City and Servant of the Servants of God.
The pope, on the other hand, is more interested in the status of head of state and diplomatic titles.
Whether you call him Pope or Pope, this status is the most honorable one in the world, and there is no one.
The head of state can be replaced, and when she becomes a queen, she may have a constitutional monarchy one day, and the pope is elected by the vote of bishops around the world, and cannot be removed except for voluntary abdication or death.
It is undoubtedly one of the most incredible events for a single country or region to have a dispute over who will rule and lead, and this practice of soliciting opinions around the world is undoubtedly one of the most incredible events.
Therefore, the Pope is called papa in Latin, which translates into Chinese as father, the father of Catholics all over the world.
Qi Zhen didn't know about the great achievements of the popes of the past, he just heard about the glorious deeds of a pope from Zaka's mouth, and he threw himself to the ground for the five bodies admired by the old man in front of him, and even had some impulses to bow and worship.
A certain pope, invented the Gregorian calendar.
Another pope, invented the Sunday.
Can you imagine? When you wake up at home, ask your dad what day it is.
Your dad said that today is the 26th, and there will be less than a week before the school starts on September 1st, but the good thing is that it will be the 11th National Day in less than a month, and the day after tomorrow Sunday, I will take you out for a big meal.
Well? What does it feel like?
Qi Zhen thought of this, and felt that the profession of the pope was too good, as the creator of the modern calendar, this could almost be equated with a god.
It stands to reason that Zaka should not have any bad intentions, and even wants to make Qi Zhen pay attention to this old man from the bottom of his heart.
But it doesn't matter, Qi Zhen now attaches more importance to the other party, and it is a bit of a sense of seeing death as home.
Qi Zhen sat opposite the Pope, constantly admonishing herself in her heart: "This is a game, just a game." β
But Qi Zhen also knew in his heart that if it was really in reality, the old man in front of him would probably be an ordinary old man who was proficient in philosophy, religion, astronomy, mathematics and other disciplines, and had a rich resume to the point of outrageousness.
But in the game, this old man could never be such a simple old man.
Qi Zhen thought about these things, but her eyes kept staring at the other party's face, which seemed a little rude.
The Pope seemed to have finally finished reading a paragraph, he raised his eyes, his dark blue eyes flashed with insight into everything, he looked at Qi Zhen, and laughed softly: "Young man, you are here." β
Qi Zhen nodded: "Hello, we meet again." β
Originally, not to mention life and death, the atmosphere should have been solidified between the outrageous two, and they chatted like old friends.
"You've done a good job." There was always a faint smile on the Pope's old face, which made people feel a little like a spring breeze.
"You and I have the same purpose, and I will naturally do my best." Qi Zhen said.
"Since the cooperation between us is so smooth, why did you come to the door today?" The Pope asked.
Yes, what is Qi Zhen here for?
From the perspective of the game, the Vatican is now the only pure land left on the map, and the team naturally wants to turn this map red, and if they want to dye it red, they can't avoid the old man in front of them.
So Qi Zhen's explanation to Xhaka and He Li came from this.
But now in the face of the Pope's questioning, Qi Zhen can't use this reason.
Qi Zhen stood up, bowed respectfully to the Pope, and then said softly, "I have a few questions for you. β
"Just ask." The Pope looked at Qi Zhen kindly and said, as if those battles and tests from the first to the sixth floor did not exist at all.
"Is the world really hopeless?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Naturally, no." The Pope smiled and said that he seemed to know what Qi Zhen wanted to ask, and then said: "I am a servant of the Lord, so naturally I just follow the will of the Lord. β
That's what it means to choose yourself.
If it were Qi Zhen in that world, he might have scoffed at what the Pope said, but at this time he was extremely convinced of the existence of God, and in this game, God is naturally the system.
"Everyone is dying after contracting the virus, what can you do to save the world?" Qi Zhen then asked.
"At that time, the Lord will naturally send down an oracle, if not, then maybe it will really be the destruction of the world and rebirth, and I gladly accept it." The Pope said with a light smile.
"You speak Chinese so well." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"Thank you, I happened to live in China for a while." The Pope also said with a smile. Mobile phone users can watch the king of the game, please browse, a better user experience.
