Perhaps to prevent the collapse, the walls of the entire underground city are covered with the same reinforced material as the armor of the airship.

In the ceiling, countless lighting fixtures are embedded there, illuminating the entire underground space.

The exterior of the building is also white overall.

This is probably so that the residents here don't care too much about the fact that this is actually an underground that does not see the light of day, right?

Luo Zhen could see a lot of aura reverberating in the underground city, proving that the people here were living well.

It's just that I don't know why the people here live here.

Although the environment here seems to be built to a certain extent, the living environment under the ground is still not comfortable and pleasant, such as the problems caused by the constant urgency of food, and the endocrine diseases caused by the lack of sunlight, etc., so that this underground city is destined to be unsuitable for long-term life, and most of the people who will live here are forced to live.

Why, then, do the people live here?

Luo Zhen began to ponder.

I don't know if I noticed Luo Zhen's question, Rippa, who had calmed down, stepped forward.

"This underground city was originally built in order to allow His Majesty the Pope and important officials to take emergency shelter when Vibel itself was in a state of emergency."

Ripa introduced.

"However, after the Jaceites began to emerge and the existence of the humanoid demon beetle became known, this became a shelter for His Majesty the Pope and other figures."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen understood a little.

Just as the Pope is regarded by Jace as an obstacle to his hegemony and is bent on eradicating it, there must be many people in the human race who are regarded by Jace as a thorn in the flesh, or people who know the existence of humanoid demon beetles and many secrets, and then are killed by Jace.

These people, who are currently protected by the Pope, are hiding here, and together with the Pope, they are hiding from the world and preventing the Jacetes from succeeding.

In addition, there must be many people living here who know the existence of this place.

These people, whether they knew in advance or inadvertently, since they knew things that they shouldn't know, the Papal faction naturally couldn't let them continue to live outside.

To sum up, there are a lot of humans living here.

This is also the reason why Luo Zhen knew about the existence of this place, and as a result, Ripa reacted so much.

In order not to let this place be discovered, the people of the Pope faction have done so much work, and even the people of the Jace faction are still looking for the Pope, scurrying around like headless flies, but Luo Zhen discovered this place at once, which really made Ripa have to react so much.

Perhaps, among the missing people in "Vibel", in addition to those who were captured by the Jaces to be used as experiments, some were brought here.

And the people who live here don't seem to be just humans.

Luo Zhen's heart flashed with thoughts.

For now, though, none of this matters.

There is only one thing that matters most now.

That's...

"Take me to the Pope."

Luo Zhen said this to Ripa.

Naturally, Ripa will not refuse.

"Originally, that's what I'm here to do with you."

With that, Ripa cast a flight magic spell and flew forward.

Luo Zhen also used flying magic, following Rippa's side, slowly flying forward.

The duo's destination is a luxurious palace nestled in this underground city.

"This is His Majesty's Residence ———— the Aries Palace."

With that, Ripa landed on the roof of the Aries Palace and looked at Luo Zhen, who had also landed next to him.

"His Majesty the Pope lives here now, and this is also the residence of a few of His Majesty's cronies, if I am here, I will also live here, and in addition, the acquaintances you know are also here."

Ripa, who said this, couldn't help but secretly pay attention to Luo Zhen's performance.

However, Luo Zhen didn't even have the slightest surprise.

It was as if he already knew who the so-called "acquaintance" in Ripa's mouth was.

And so it is.

"Let's go inside, then."

Luo Zhen said disappreciably, and immediately took the lead and walked towards the palace.

Seeing this, Ripa was secretly speechless and followed.

............

Aries leaves the palace and meets the hall.

When Rogen arrives here under the leadership of Ripa, first of all, he sees an incomprehensible scene.

"You say, I'll sit on the throne later, and directly let Rorelei Agnène kneel, first comfort his hard work and dedication, and then gently admonish him, so that he is grateful to Dade for joining us, what do you say?"

The person who said something like this was a young girl with round almond eyes and waist-length blond straight hair.

The girl's appearance and age look almost no different from the little girl in the early school, although she looks exquisite, she knows that she is a beauty embryo at a glance, but her behavior is always childish.

However, such a young girl was actually wearing a very gorgeous costume, like a priest or even a saint.

And the object of the girl's words is the acquaintance of Luo Zhen mentioned by Ripa.

"Please don't do that."

The girl, who was dressed like a violet in the long-skirted undergraduate uniform of "Micher Heights", opened her mouth in some distress.

Amazingly, it was Chrissy.

At this moment, this humanoid demon beetle actually appeared in this underground city, appeared in the palace of Aries where the Pope lived, and sighed as if she was sighing at the little girl in front of her who was figuring out what posture to use on the throne.

"That one is not much to bully, and he has made a significant contribution to humanity, and you may annoy him if you make him kneel down for the valuable combat power that he is a human hero and will have to rely on in the future."

Hearing Chrissy's words, the little girl's cheeks puffed out.

"But I'm the Pope, I'm Anneroger Shasaland Wibel, the supreme ruler of the Pope's floating city and even the human race, isn't it natural for me to kneel?"

The little girl uttered shocking words.

"That's right..."

Chrissy suddenly stopped talking.

The two of them were discussing such a thing from the throne of the Hall of Hearing.

At the gate, the corners of Luo Zhen's mouth kept twitching, looking at the little girl with puffed cheeks and constantly posing in a posture that thought she was spirited, and then recalled her statement that she claimed to be the pope, and there was an urge in her heart to turn around and leave.

Not to mention Luo Zhen, even the corners of Rippa's eyes on the side jumped.

The two looked at each other.

Forthwith...

"I suddenly remembered that I still had something to do, so I went first."

Luo Zhen turned around and left.

"Wait... Wait! ”

Ripper pounced on Rozhen.
