Chapter 542: Prelude to Great Changes
The midsummer of 17,963 years in the mainland calendar is destined to be a period that will be recorded in the history of the mainland.
Because in the middle of summer this year, not only did the whole continent fall into some kind of panic, but when people discovered the truth of that panic, it would usher in another even more amazing upheaval.
From this summer, the continent of Parilloa, which has been peaceful for thousands of years, will once again raise the cruelty of war.
"Your Excellency Bastion, the forces of the northern and southern fronts have been deployed. And because of His Holiness the Pope's prophecy of catastrophe and the complete loss of contact with the Abyssal Exploration Force, no one doubts the purpose of our dispatch of troops. As soon as His Holiness the Pope's decree is issued, we will immediately have a much larger land. ”
In the hall of the audience outside the papal quarters, Bastião sat quietly in the waiting table of the honored guests, silently listening to the return of the attendants beside him.
Now, with the conspiracy that was the premise, all the plans of the Papal States were quietly sown, and the true purpose of the Papal States was already on the verge of being realized.
At this moment, even the corners of Bastion's mouth still had a strange smile hanging on after all.
However, Bastion's smile was undoubtedly not only because of the smooth progress of the plan, but also because of the fact that he was in this era.
Today's Bastion, he is extremely grateful not only for the era in which he was born, but also for the country in which he lives, and even more so for everything that has happened in this country.
When all those conditions, one item were put in front of Bastion.
Today, Bastião has finally succeeded in reaching a point that can change history under the impetus of the whole country.
Next, the great event that has been brewing for more than 20 years will be started by Bastião himself.
And the era itself...... After all, it is a new change!
......
More than 20 years ago, among the top echelons of power in the Papal States, there was a secret society hidden under the table...... Avalon Group!
As Deng Shunlath judged, by some coincidence, the dark bards who were once the dark veins of the empire had actually completely fallen to the side of the Papal States. And then it was even more logical that the other half of the hidden puzzle that the Papal States held brought the other half that could be completed and completed.
Thus a new world opened up before the eyes of the Papal States, and the landscapes that had never been perceived bloomed so splendidly.
And under this splendid picture, it was the so-called Avalon organization.
Although the Avalon Group is essentially a very loose alliance, they do not seem to have a specific execution plan, but are constantly exploring the secrets of the two pieces of the puzzle.
However, even so, in fact, the people who can really join the Avalon Group are all the top figures of that era.
Hawkins, the future director of the Lanxiang Karakuri Academy, Lampelochi, the deputy chief of the Legislature's Divine Machine Battalion at the time, several new cardinals in the Council, and even Francis XIV, who is about to take over as the next pope.
The above resounding names aimed at Phnom Penh were all involved in the infinite expectations for the future because of the collision of the two puzzle pieces.
So much so that in the following ten years, the above group of people almost forgot to sleep and eat to study the two puzzles, and quickly uncovered one after another world secrets.
To put it bluntly, neither the history of mankind held by the Empire nor the creation secrets possessed by the Papal States can uncover the secrets in the shadows of the continent.
However, once these two things really come together, those things that can be corroborated with each other are also impressively displayed in front of the elite of the Papal States at that time.
So in the first ten years of the puzzle collision, although the Papal States were still calm on the surface, in fact, they were crazy to explore the secrets of the continent in their bones.
Until the man named Bastion, with the embarrassing identity of a marriage symbol, completely betrayed his home country, the Kingdom of France, and then became even sharper...... Pierced into the Avalon Group, immersed in research!
......
Bastião had just finished listening to his subordinates' report, and Francis XIV, as the nominal supreme leader of the Papal States, had finally arrived in the hall where Bastião was received.
As Bastion would occasionally recall, in fact, the conspiracy brewing on the continent was originally because of Bastion's accession, which caused a certain qualitative change within the Avalon group.
The arrival of Bastião undoubtedly made the Avalon Group, which had been immersed in research, truly realize a problem they had never thought about:
With the help of the fusion of these two pieces of the puzzle...... What can the Papal States do?
"I just hope that our choice is not wrong!"
With the arrival of Pope Francis XIV, Bastião's attendants have naturally retreated, and now only Bastião and the Pope himself are left in this huge meeting hall.
Therefore, at this time, Francis XIV himself no longer had superfluous euphemisms between his words.
It was already so direct that he sent a final inquiry to Bastien:
"The reason why we agreed to your proposal is that you yourself understand what it is for...... So now that you have made the final realization, will you personally bear this price?"
It is clear, however, that Bastião did not hesitate at all in his eyes at Francis XIV's final inquiry.
The current situation is obviously not Bastien's ultimate hope.
Therefore, Bastião, who has come to this point, must also use more acute determination and price to go towards the true purpose of the Papal States without hesitation.
Even if the necessary premise of the ultimate purpose is exactly that:
"The splendor of the gods will be spread throughout the continent...... Any kingdom that stands in our way will be utterly vanished in glory!"
Faced with the certainty in Bastion's eyes, the current Pope Francis XIV himself could only take a deep look at the edict already written in his hand.
After all, Bastien's choice is not the choice of the entire Avalon Group.
Now that we've come this far, there's no turning back.
So in the next moment, Francis XIV, as the contemporary pope, finally handed the edict in his hand that would surely rewrite the history of the continent to Bastião, who had been waiting for a long time.
Then he said in a resolute tone the astonishing vision of the entire Avalon Group:
"Then let the brilliance of the gods shine on all those confused lands, so that the true secret behind the divine light can be hidden...... It can be completely displayed in front of the eyes of our generation!"
(Third Update.) I was going to start making up for it today, but by this time I had just finished writing three chapters. There are still two chapters left to be filled, but today I finally finished writing the transition, and it should be written faster later. )
