Chapter 382: Meeting the Pope

The history of the Crucifixion is too smooth compared to the radiance of the Republic, and the supreme leader, Pope Nero II, is also happier than the Generalissimo of the Republic, I don't know how many times.

In the first year of the Honkai Revolution, the previous Pope Nero I died and was succeeded by his only granddaughter, the 19-year-old Nero II, leaving behind a large number of loyal generals, including the Knights of the Round Table.

When Nero II took office, not only was his power stable, but the continent of Europe was sparsely populated, and the degree of invasion by the cube was not serious, relying on powerful knights to quickly suppress the beast and establish a complete strategy to deal with the collapse of the cube.

In the years that followed, Nero II also showed political acumen that was not inferior to that of his grandfather, and ruled the Cross Church smoothly and won the hearts of the people.

Compared with the radiance of the republic, which was full of suffering and national death, the Crucifixion Church can be said to have received a gift from the Lord.

At this time, in the Vatican Basilica, elite guards lined up on both sides of the red carpet, and the light from the stained windows of the dome walked on their armor, reflecting a soft light, as if embraced by the Lord.

Lancelot sent the two to the door and departed on his own.

The main hall of the church is very grand, and the religious frescoes reveal a strong divine atmosphere, which may be full of happiness for high-ranking believers, but for low-level nuns like Al, the holy light is full of indifference, and she only dares to follow closely behind Luo Wei.

Luo Wei didn't have any nervous concept, he could stand under the dragon power emanating from the cold kite, and the scene in front of him was just a small scene.

Reaching the front of the staircase, two tall guards pulled open the carved door with a heavy creak in their hands.

Ahead is a sacred temple, carved in polished marble as if it were a marvelous workmanship, with tall stone pillars that splash golden light in the light of the dome, and magnificent frescoes carved on the walls of the Divine motif, as if forming the path to heaven.

On the throne sat a noble figure, dressed in white like an angel's feather, with long golden hair gently on his shoulders, the whole person was bathed in the soft light of the dome, and the white skin splashed with silver threads brought by the sun from time to time, so beautiful that it seemed that it did not belong to this world.

There is no doubt that this is the current pope of the Cross Church, and the second female pope in the history of the church since the ninth century, whose full name is "Aglaia Eprodetti Nero", which is also known as "Nero II" by the Catholics.

Nero II was also standing beside a man, dressed in a black light armor that did not look so bloated compared to the heavily armored knights charging on horseback, and a purple silk grille with a red cross and gold trim.

This man did not belong to Lancelot's Prince Charming, but he was extremely heroic, with white curly hair neatly tied behind his head, and a pair of sword eyebrows that were even more impressive, and he would not forget it at a glance.

Obviously, this is the crusader commander in Lancelot's mouth, the "eagle general" of the Crusader Church, Hoan Lisen.

Compared to Nero, who was too beautiful to look like a human, Luo Wei paid more attention to Huo Anlisen, and for some reason, although this man was smiling and did not have any hostility, Luo Wei unconsciously wanted to be vigilant.

Nero, who sat at the top of the throne, spoke first, and his voice was pleasant and full of irresistible majesty: "Friends of the Republic, thank you for reaching out to our people, and the Church will remember this kindness." ”

Luo Wei was looking at Ho Anlisen, who was still smiling kindly, and when he heard Nero's voice, he turned his gaze and said calmly, "Raise your hand." ”

The meaning of Luo Wei's sentence was originally to say that he was just doing a favor easily, and he didn't need to mobilize the crowd to thank him.

But Nero and Hoanlison seem to be wrong, they think that Luo Wei means that those oathbreakers are not even scumbags compared to him, as if they are showing their great strength, a bit of a sense of asking for merit.

"The church will be rewarded for its kindness." Nero raised his hand, and the soft light of the dome shining on his body seemed to diffuse around, and soon, a tall guard with a delicate box in both hands walked up respectfully to Luo Wei and handed it over.

After the box was opened, Luo Wei fixed his eyes and saw that it was a delicate cross chain, which could be seen from its delicate carvings that could almost form a picture, this was definitely from the hand of the master, and Luo Wei also felt some kind of energy fluctuation on it, which should not only be a decoration, but have a special effect.

Sure enough, Nero spoke, and his voice pierced through the holy light, like a heavenly sound: "This is the Vatican Holy Cross made of Mithril, and it will protect you from the darkness. ”

Although Luo Wei didn't know what the specific effect of this thing was, he knew that all Holy Crosses of the Church would have a strong impact on dark creatures such as vampires, and when Sunset City fought against Sethia bitterly, the vampire queen as a lord-level creature would be jealous of the little cross on Al's body, and this kind of Holy Cross directly issued by the Vatican Holy See must be even more powerful.

Luo Wei didn't say much, and accepted it silently.

At this time, Huo Anlisen suddenly showed a regretful expression, and his sharp sword eyebrows also drooped slightly: "Mr. Luo Wei, I heard the bishop say that you came to the Cross Church to find a person named Luo Wei, we checked the population of each diocese, and did not find the name of this person. ”

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said a little hurriedly: "She was not originally from the church, and it is possible that she was brought back from the Radiance of the Republic by the knights." ”

"I understand, Mr. Luo Wei, I am the commander-in-chief of the legion for the aid to the Radiance of the Republic in the first year of the Honkai." Huo Anlisen bowed slightly to Luo Wei and said regretfully, "I remember that every knight took in the refugees they brought back, but there was no one named Luo Wei, and I am very sorry for this. ”

Although Luo Wei didn't speak, his nails had sunk into the flesh, his clenched fists were dripping with blood, and his closed red lips were always a sign of his anxious heart.

"Of course, there is a possibility." The beautiful and majestic Nero tilted his eyes slightly and said, "As you can see, the continent is not really a place of peace, and we are at war with the Oathbreakers for many years, just as you have with the rebels in the north. If this person named Luo Wei is in the territory of the Oathbreakers, then she is out of the scope of our investigation. ”

Before Luo Wei could speak, Huo Anlisen spoke up: "If you are interested in going to the consular district of the oathbreaker to investigate, I can connect you with an informant." ”

"Right now." Luo Wei simply turned to leave, and dropped a sentence, "I'm waiting outside for your news." ”

The surrounding guards were a little stunned, staring blankly at the back of Luo Wei leaving, it was the first time they had seen someone so hurried in front of the Pope, and they wanted to change to someone else, and they wanted to chat for hours.

After Luo Wei left, the guards also began to retreat, and only Nero and Hoanlisen were left in the huge temple, sitting and standing, still in their original positions, like statues.

Suddenly, Nero calmly asked, "How's it going?" ”

Huo Anlisen smiled, his eyes revealing the depth of the sea, and said, "Yes, just like you and me, disciple, but his god genes... Haven't woken up yet! ”
