Lateran Palace.

"This is the residence of the Holy See?" Eleanor looked around, "I always feel a little bit disappointed...... It's not as beautiful as my Weissbach Palace. ”

"The original name of the Lateran Palace was the Lateran Science and Technology Park, which is also the seat of the Solomon Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering." Nora explains, "From the very beginning, we didn't think much about the appearance of the building. ”

"Because if it's built too magnificently, it's inconvenient to ask the empire for scientific research funds." Aske complained.

"That's right." Nora snapped her fingers playfully and laughed.

"The Holy See and the Academy of Science and Technology...... I always feel weird. Eleanor said.

"So you know what? The cardinal's ancient name was 'Imperial Academician'. Nora looked at the quadrangular bell tower opposite, "That! See, that's Giotto's Clock. ”

"Giotto's Clock?"

"Yes, it was built in 334 of the Tertiary period. It is said that the clock dial is connected to the calculation process of the super artificial intelligence Raphael, and as the final end approaches, the clock dial hands will gradually move towards 12 o'clock. ”

"Is there really an end to the world?" Eleanor said she didn't believe it.

"There is also a saying that it is the end of civilization." Nora chatted casually and pointed to the church next to her, "Next to Giotto's bell is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Fiore." ”

"The Church of the Hundred Flowers is responsible for big data processing and analysis, and it is also the main department responsible for training, maintaining and optimizing Raphael. There is a dedicated 'Doomsday Judgment' team that tracks changes in Giotto's Clock. ”

"Oooh." Eleanor's face was full of exclamation, "I don't understand what you're saying, but it sounds amazing."

"So, what about the church?" She pointed to the huge building in front of her and said, "Looks like the tallest building in the neighborhood, right?" ”

"Ah, yes." "It's St. Peter's Basilica, which is mainly dedicated to nuclear energy engineering, and is generally closed to ordinary people. ”

Legend has it that Christ gave St. Peter the golden key to the kingdom of heaven before returning to heaven. The key to this is the power of the 'nuclear'. ”

"Do you mean nuclear energy engineering, is it related to nuclear bombs?" Eleanor asked curiously.

"Nuclear bombs are just one of the most basic military applications of nuclear energy." Nora replied, and saw a group of papal guards approaching.

"Lord Asker, Lord Nola, Lord Eleanor." The captain of the guard saluted the three of them one by one, "We have come to meet you by decree of the Holy See, and then please continue with those who follow us." ”

"Separately?" Asker noticed his odd phrasing, "Didn't we go to see the Pope?" ”

"You are the only one who has been invited to the Holy See." The captain of the guard said, "Her Excellency Nora will go to see Bishop Vallian, and Her Excellency Eleanor will be received by Bishop Adelaide. ”

"Adelaide? Who is it? Eleanor was still a little puzzled, when she heard Aske say, "Well, then we'll go back and meet at the Licinius Mansion." ”

————————

"So where are we going?" After separating from the two girls, Asker, led by the papal guards, went to the secret subway under the Lateran Palace.

"His Majesty is not on the surface at this time." The captain of the guard replied.

"Not on the surface?" Asker said he ran underground?

"Let's take the metro train next and head to Castel Sant'Angelo." The captain replied.

Castel Sant'Angelo is the garrison area & drone airport of the Angel Army, and it is also docked with the Pope's special flight "Holy One". In other words, Innocent is flying in the air at this time.

The subway train rumbled through the tunnels, and Aske sat bored in his seat as he watched the Papal Guards expertly remove their arms, oil and maintain their mechanical joints, or help each other change batteries, and so on.

These Papal Guards are all super soldiers with a mechanized degree of more than 90%, and only part of the cortex of the brain still retains the biochemical tissues of the original body, and they are no different from robots as a whole.

In the original game world, since there were no plot copies such as "Destroy the Holy See", Asque did not fight against the Papal Guard, but I heard some idle professional players say that these Papal Guards are not difficult to deal with one-on-one, but if it is a complete team formation, the difficulty of fighting is comparable to facing the demigods.

Because you never know what black technology weapons you've never seen before pull out of your arms, thighs, and abdomen.

However, Asker was a mature, detached professional from low-level fun, and of course had no interest in what weapons were hidden in the bodies of these papal guards, so he just watched boredly as they finished overhauling their bodies, and then pulled out a network cable from the side of the carriage and inserted it into the interface of his temple.

Then he started surfing the Internet without moving.

Asker: ..................

What's the deal with a little envy all of a sudden?

After about twenty minutes, the subway train arrived at Castel Sant'Angelo, a military base located in the westernmost part of the city of Solomon, already on the outskirts of the city.

It's a bit far from the Licinius Building, this location!

"Well, you'll send me back when I'm done meeting with the Holy See, right?" Asker asked suddenly.

"We'll drop you into the city, Lord Asker." The captain of the guard replied.

Asker: ???

"Just kidding." The captain of the guard said with an expressionless face, this mechanized soldier whose whole body has been transformed by 90%, even if he is telling a cold joke, his voice does not rise and fall in the slightest, "We will arrange for a plane to escort you and land at the rooftop airport of the Licinius Building." ”

After saying that, everyone who re-landed on the surface saw a jet helicopter slowly landing in front of them.

After boarding the helicopter, the plane lifted off again and headed for the airship in the sky.

The formation of airships that sailed over the city of Solomon every day was called the "Divine Voice". Despite the name, most of the time it's just a downward advertisement, radio show, hourly time signal, and weather forecast.

But what only a few wealthy Solomon people know is that there is an airship that does not broadcast commercials, but has a sky restaurant, where customers can sit on the airship and enjoy their food while enjoying the city below.

When Asker boarded the airship, he found that the entire restaurant in the sky had been chartered. Extra tables and chairs were removed, leaving a large open space. Several chéng Rén singers with graceful bodies are singing and dancing to melodious music.

In the stand, which has the best view, there is a dining table and two chairs.

The entire Holy See ...... It should be said that the most powerful old man in the whole world, His Majesty Pope Innocent, had already sat down in one of the chairs, signaling that he could take a seat across the table.

Aske calmly pulled out a chair opposite and sat down, only to see that Innocent had already pushed the menu over and said:

"I've ordered some dishes in advance, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not, Your Majesty." Aske said with a smile, flipped through the menu casually, took a sip from the glass with lemonade next to him, and heard Innocent say again:

"The food in this restaurant tastes good, next time you can bring your harem group along."

Burst!

Asker turned his head with lightning speed and sprayed the lemonade in his mouth on the ground next to him.
