Chapter 323: Recognition
When Hayes walked in, the old man who looked no different from an ordinary old man was sitting a little slumbered on the throne that made everyone yearn for the scorching throne.
How many times, Hayes has also dreamed of this throne, but when he saw this old man today, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that this seat was very difficult to sit on.
Behind this seat, there is a tall statue of Uther.
It takes a strong psyche to be able to be under a statue of a god and always think about how to betray this god.
Hayes wondered why the old man was so safe every day, if Uther really didn't know anything about it?
He is a great all-powerful God.
Perhaps, Hayes thought to himself, that the god they worshipped now was no longer the same Uther he used to be. Perhaps, the god who rules over them now is just this throne.
It's just this throne.
"Praise be to the great Uther, praise to the great Pope, Hayes to the audience." Hayes walked to a place about ten meters away from the Pope and stood still.
The Pope has always disliked the fact that people are too close to him, not knowing what he is protecting, hiding from or hiding.
Isn't it, if someone approaches this throne, it threatens his rule, it threatens the sanctity of this throne?
The Great Uther? Hayes sneered slightly in his heart, looking at the huge statue, every day all the paladins were praising the great Uther, and at this time Uther was in another place, fighting for another person.
"Hayes......" The Pope's voice was somewhat ethereal, as if it were coming not from his body, but from all sides of the whole hall, from every tall granite column, from every burning oil lamp, from every tablet of the great paladin.
"Yes, Your Holiness Pope." Hayes humbly bowed his head, and at this moment, for some reason, he had a new understanding of the power of the Pope.
He had no doubt that if he had the slightest hostility towards the Pope, he could be smashed into a cloud of ash in an instant, ten meters away.
It seems that after meeting Uther, a special change has occurred in Hayes's body, and Hayes himself does not know what this change is, but his heart seems to have changed.
He seemed to see everything more thoroughly, especially everything in this church. Everything is clear, all the dirty, the hypocrisy, the utilitarianism, the interests, the sins, the splendor on which it is all built.
"What is the result?" The Pope has always disliked nonsense, if there is anything to say, he likes to ask directly, he does not want to know the process, he just needs to know the result.
Successive popes have been qualified to practice a special spell in the Church, called the Great Prophecy, which is not an offensive spell, but everyone has no doubt about the power of this spell.
Therefore, it is superfluous and stupid to play with one's own cleverness in front of the Pope.
"This is the redemption set that Duke Xiao gave me." Hayes took out the suit behind him, placed it on the ground, and then flipped his hand and opened the lid.
A divine light immediately rushed to the face inside, and even though it was in this sacred hall, you could still feel the divine power on this suit.
The Pope's eyelids lifted slightly when he saw the redemption suit, and then one of the fingers of his right hand twitched slightly.
That's right, it's beating, which is a kind of action similar to a conditioned reflex, and it doesn't move in coordination with its own strength at all.
This is also a direct manifestation of the Pope in times of psychological turmoil.
After a long period of experience, it is difficult to see any emotional fluctuations on the Pope's face, even if the most shocking thing appears in front of him, the Pope can ensure that his face does not change, does not show the slightest surprise, and maintains a sacred appearance of holding a pearl of wisdom in his hand and a bamboo in his chest.
However, perhaps because he has deliberately maintained his face for a long time, his fingers have become another physical feature that expresses his psychology.
It's just that no one knows this secret.
"I have seen that Uther, and in him, I feel a pure power of divine light, and at the same time, the magic of the various paladins he has displayed is also completely the magic of the ancient times, which I cannot compare. I can assure you that it wasn't something he used to trick up, but that he really had that kind of power in his body. Hayes continued. His voice was not loud, very calm, without a trace of waves, as if he was recounting a small matter that did not concern him.
Even Hayes himself didn't know why he could say such a big thing in such a tone.
"You mean, he's the real Uther? Our god who has been worshiped for 10,000 years? The Pope's tone was still calm, there was no sound of anger or panic, but two of the fingers of his right hand twitched together.
Hayes shook his head and said, "This subordinate is not sure, he has the divine ability of light, not necessarily Uther, because we have also found the powerful magic of the paladin in some ancient ruins, and they may not rely on these things to disguise." Now, although they have Uther, they don't seem to use this as a call for hype, but only spread some remarks within a certain range, saying that Uther, Antonidas and other ancient figures have returned, and they are loyal to him Xiao Yu. ”
"Didn't you spread it......" The Pope's voice was ethereal again, and his cloudy eyes became clear at this time, like a bottomless ocean.
"If they spread it, it means that they want to win the support of public opinion through these means, and if they don't spread it, then it means that they don't want people to turn their attention to them. With such a good basis, why not use it? Because they're waiting, they're waiting for these people to be strong, and then they're gradually revealed. The Pope looked at the beautiful frescoes on the top of the church and said thoughtfully, and at this moment, he understood why he could not use the Great Prophecy.
For, since the real Uther had appeared, and had regained some strength, he was much less able to borrow from his original faith.
The power of faith is an extremely strange force, and only a person like the Pope can know how terrifying it is to collect the power of faith of so many people and assemble it.
These powers of faith are based on the god Uther, although even the Pope himself does not believe in the existence of gods, but he really knows that in the underworld, there is a force that gathers these powers of faith and uses them for people like him.
This power does not come from the power of this world, but completely from the power of another plane.
However, in some of the texts of the Church, there is a saying that there are planes, and in this vast universe, there are countless planes, and some places, inhabited by powerful beings, that is, what people call gods.
It is absolutely no accident that people worship a deity, are able to be sheltered, and can develop into a powerful church. It would not have been possible without the support of a powerful force.
Behind all this kind of faith, there must be a powerful energy that concentrates these beliefs, so that such a powerful church can be formed.
This kind of extremely mysterious thing, on this continent, there will definitely be no more than five people who understand its meaning, but the Pope is definitely one of them.
When Hayes heard the Pope say this, he knew in his heart that the Pope had actually determined that Uther was the deity they worshipped.
Hayes himself actually didn't know that the god he had worshiped for decades in his heart definitely had a special feeling in his heart when he really appeared in front of him.
It's like why he was in front of Uther, obviously the other party didn't make any moves, there was no oppression, but he felt a kind of pressure like a mountain.
That is the source of the original power in his body, the power of the paladin, not only magic and fighting energy, but also the power of faith, through the power of faith, the magic and fighting energy used can be more powerful than ordinary magic and fighting energy.
"You don't seem to be surprised, is it because you've already made sure in your heart?" The Pope's gaze turned to Hayes, although it was only a very flat sweep, but Hayes felt as if there was a thousand forces pressing down.
Hayes straightened his back, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, I do feel an extremely familiar aura in him, it seems that I have seen him many years ago. ”
The Pope muttered, "Good, good, he's back, he's really back." ”
After saying that, the Pope stood up, stood up from the throne that symbolized absolute power and dignity, and then carried the scepter that made the world tremble, like an ordinary old man, as if he was a little tired, and slowly walked towards the back of the church step by step.
