――――――――――

Who is pretending to be forced to blind me?

The Bible records that God came to the Vatican on October X, 1715.

……

Outside there was a sea of people cheering wildly.

Ye Ming himself wiped his sweat and slipped into St. Peter's Basilica with quick steps.

The relics are interrelated.

That's what Roberts didn't say to him.

This is also the reason why the golden apple can show the approximate location of the holy object.

These fragments are things made by the forerunners together, and they are all related to each other, as long as you can really control one of them, then you will have a general clue about the other holy relics.

So, not surprisingly, in the world-famous first cathedral of St. Peter, there must be a holy relic hidden.

Putting away the holy sword, Ye Ming took advantage of the chaos outside and quietly infiltrated this Christian holy place.

Stealing a priest's robe from the next room, putting on his hood, the boy instantly turned into a follower of the Holy Light.

Holding a Bible, smiling, walking in the church.

In his backpack, the golden apple shivered slightly.

It's a sign that something is being sensed.

"If it's a temple, you might need a key." White Len appeared on his shoulder, watching the young man's movements in search of all directions, and whispered a reminder.

"Keys?"

Ye Ming thought about it, and suddenly realized.

With a slight step on his foot, the smooth and flat ground suddenly sank.

With his body, he entered a secret space.

Keys or something...... It occurred to him that he had the ability to completely ignore such things as keys, and then it occurred to him that he could even ignore the entrance once he understood the general goal......

It is enough to manipulate the particles directly into the temple.

Don't be limited by your preconceived notions.

Thinking like this, Ye Ming walked inside.

Along the way, the walls on both sides are carved with strange patterns.

It is incomprehensible to the naked eye, because it is not something for human beings to see.

Perhaps those with eagle eyes can see the secrets within.

But even if Ye Ming relied on the Holy Sword, he could only achieve a perception similar to that of an eagle's eye, and he couldn't appreciate these mysteries.

The nurse walked down the stairs to the bottom, and in front of him was a hall.

In the center, there is a wall painted with mysterious textures.

"It was in this place that Ezio assassinated Pope Borgia more than two hundred years ago."

Ye Ming said softly, not knowing whether he was explaining it to the cat or telling it to himself.

In fact, he likes to dance plot when playing games, so he doesn't remember these things very clearly.

However, he vaguely remembered that in the second generation of Assassin's Creed, the final boss that Ezio faced was our Pope.

This is still not mistaken.

"Did you already think of something?" White Len looked at him.

"Hmm...... If I'm not mistaken, the holy relics that exist here are probably ......"

Ye Ming walked to the center and pressed his palm on the ground.

The particle manipulation was activated, and the textured ground, which was made of unknown materials, gradually dissolved in his hands.

Finally, a circular hollow appeared in front of his eyes.

And inside, there is an object stuck straight in.

"The Scepter of Eden." Saying its name from his mouth, the boy grabbed it and pulled it up.

A holy relic once held by many popes, a holy relic with the most powerful mental control ability - the Scepter of Eden.

Held in Ye Ming's hand, its silver-white slender staff body emitted a faint golden light, echoing the holy sword in the young man's other hand.

The Precursors really liked the color gold.

Maybe you think this color is a good way to reflect your own style?

Watching the scepter gradually deform in the light, the boy couldn't help but look forward to it.

It is said that the scepter changes into different forms depending on the owner...... I don't know what will become of this holy relic in his hands.

Thinking like this, as the golden light disappeared, what appeared in front of Ye Ming's eyes was ...... A spear......

Isn't he more suitable to be a spearman?!

The boy looked at the thing that had successfully transformed from a holy scepter to a holy spear.

Of course, in essence, he is still a 'holy scepter', and has nothing to do with another holy artifact, the 'holy spear'.

It's just that this shape really can't help but make people complain.

"Now, you guys." Turning his head, Ye Ming looked at the three golden apples floating on the other side.

Before he could speak, the golden apples that had been approved floated around the scepter.

Then, like blood, these things came together.

Picking up the holy scepter again, Ye Ming found that there were several more patterns on the gun, which were exactly the same as the patterns on the golden apple before.

The Scepter, which is the only item that can be combined with the Golden Apple Fragment after the Forbidden Fruit is broken.

Maybe it's because the efficacy of the two is not much different?

Compared to the Golden Apple, the Scepter is identical in all respects, except for the extra amplification of mind control and the ability to manipulate the flesh.

It may be that these two things are originally in the form of one...... Maybe.

"Relic of the Garden of Eden (Incomplete)"

"Introduction: An incomplete relic, composed of the Holy Scepter and Golden Apple Nos. 1, 2, and 3, possessing extremely powerful psychic manipulation abilities."

"Categories: Equipment, Weapons."

"Effects: Create illusions, manipulate the mind, destroy the mind, control the body, dominate the five senses."

"Related attributes: spiritual, charismatic."

"Overall Rating: A-"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After being silent for a while, Ye Ming picked up the holy sword on the other side again and looked at its introduction.

Comparing the two, how can there be a kind of ...... The feeling that the scepter was weak.

The Holy Sword is so strong, why do you only have an A- rating after the Holy Scepter plus three golden apples?

"After all, the Holy Sword is the strongest one...... Bai Len chuckled lightly over his shoulder.

"......" The teenager pouted, "Len, do you know what I'm thinking right now?" ”

"Hmm...... Don't look forward to other holy relics? ”

"Ah, what a cat who knows my heart."

Ye Ming stretched lazily, hugged the cat on his shoulder, and stroked it gently.

He felt that he was really naΓ―ve, thinking that this kind of mysterious product in the world could reach the level of EX.

In fact, judging from the current state, even if he gathers all the fragments, it is a question mark whether this combined thing can reach the S level, let alone the next level of EX.

"Ye Ming, I think you really underestimate S-level things."

"Is there one?"

The boy pouted.

Maybe he got an S+ ability from the beginning, so he doesn't have any concept of this kind of thing?

Shaking his head, he put away his staff, grasped it, and swung it at the space in front of him.

The mental power that had finally recovered in his mind was drained again, and a feeling that his brain was about to be torn apart flooded his senses.

Worst...... Forget that you're in a bad state.

A crack appeared in front of him, and the boy shook his somewhat dazed head and struggled to step into it.

The world around him began to spin rapidly, and the whole world seemed to be turned upside down.

With a muffled snort, Ye Ming didn't stand firm, and fell directly out of the space.

There seemed to be the cries of Len and Kiriko in his ears, but he really didn't have the strength to respond.

His eyelids were heavy, his head was in chaos, and he just wanted to get a good night's sleep now.

"Len, please."

In his heart, he commanded his other cat, and the next moment, he was completely unconscious.
