Chapter 349, deep into the Holy See district
Salisbury told Reed about the difficulties they were facing, with three bishops trapped in the Holy See and a conservative bishop in the fleet overseer. Because conservatives make up seventy percent of the main force, there is no way for the bishop to leave.
"So you want me to be able to get the Bishop out?" Li De asked.
"The Holy See district is so large that we can't find the place of the bishop. If only you could help us find the position of the Bishop. Our Paladins have a record in the Holy See and cannot enter the Holy See district at all. Salisbury explained.
"What about when you find a location?"
"We will use our connections within the Holy See to find a way to rescue the Bishop." Priestley said.
But Lid saw a hint of cunning in Priestley's eyes, and at the same time, the soul reading also showed that Priestley was not telling the truth at this time.
Do you want to use yourself as a gunman?
The Holy See of Aramis is the focus of the planet and the most magnificent city on the planet.
It is said to be a city, but the area of the Holy See is about the size of a diocese. That's why the locals used to call it the Holy See district.
In the long history of Alamis, the church has gone from nothing to the point where cash rules the planet and theocracy, and successive popes have made great efforts. Of course, the history of the Church has not been smooth sailing, and there have been several times in history when the Church was almost destroyed and the Pope was beheaded in public.
But religion survived like a spark and once again set the prairie on fire, spreading its influence to the entire planet.
The gods that Aramis believe in are the only gods, i.e., there are no gods other than theirs. Those who believe in other gods will hide or perish before them.
Of course, this is also said on the planet Alamis, even the clergy of the church will not stupidly run to the Purdo and ask the powerful Puldo to change their faith.
Every day. Countless faithful come to the Holy See to worship every inch of the land as if it were a pilgrimage, because legend has it that this is the place where the gods once came.
Today is no exception, with large numbers of congregants pouring down from various dioceses, some even on the other side of the planet, on the intercity suspension train early in the morning. They trekked for a few or more hours to reach the diocese next to the Holy See Quarter, and then took a suspension train into the Holy See Quarter.
There is no airport in the Holy See Quarter, and all those who want to enter the Holy See Quarter have only two routes: the road on the ground and the intercity suspension train.
Of course, the hovercars of the bishops are not among them.
A worship group of several hundred people is also a major feature of the Holy See district. Tourism is a pillar industry here.
Of course, the Church also collects taxes, but the tax burden collected by each diocese is shared by each diocese. In addition to the tax burden. There is also a lot of money donated to the church every year. The Holy See district will collect 30% of all the donations of the diocese, so the richest man on the planet Aramis is the Pope.
The pilgrimage group can only be walked around the periphery of the Holy See district, and the interior of the core cannot be visited. However, this periphery is also the largest area of the Holy See District, which is divided into four districts, southeast, northwest and northwest, each of which has more than 100 churches with different styles and different architectural times, which has become the main scenery of the Holy See District.
At this time, Li De was wearing a big head and hood, carefully following a worship group to a church with a history of more than 300 years.
It is said that it is a head cover, which is a mask made of biomimetic material up to three centimeters thick. It covers Li De's head and connects to his facial muscles. Li De's facial expression can be perfectly displayed on the hood. The simulated eyeball technology can pass the general pupil scan, the skin and sweat glands are exactly the same as real people, Li De does not have a trace of stuffiness after wearing a hood, and it is normal to eat and drink.
Li De secretly sighed in his heart that such a technique is really magical. But also thinking that those alien powerhouses under Morel could also hide in Aramis like this, I couldn't help but get nervous.
Moreover, the moment he stepped into the Holy See district, Li De also felt a strange feeling.
Since stepping into the Holy See district. Li De felt a kind of restlessness, a kind of restlessness that welled up from the bottom of his heart. It's like an ant crawling on his heart, and it is impossible for him to escape and scratch it.
It seems that there is something odd about this Holy See district. But thinking that Morel might be here, Li De didn't dare to use soul magic indiscriminately. In case Morel is lured, this killing god is not something he can deal with, and it is not certain whether he can escape or not.
Li De made up his mind that without a strong man like Karagunis or Qin Shan, he would definitely not be able to start a war with Morel, even Joriette might not be able to stop Morel, in case it would be a big loss to be a spirit puppet?
"Three hundred and fifty years ago, this was the main hall built by a bishop of the church, and at that time, ......" The tour guide introduced the situation of the church, and Li De's eyes looked left and right, looking for an opportunity to slip away.
There are a lot of papal knights in the papal quarter, these people are wearing dark gold papal knight uniforms, a huge cross on their chests shows the majesty of the church, and they are all carrying electromagnetic rifles, and they are all majestically and proudly raising their heads to patrol the streets.
With these people here, Li De didn't dare to make a big move, so he could only carefully look for an opportunity to get off the list.
There are always opportunities, and they are for those who are prepared.
During the visit to the church, after a turn, Li De disappeared into the ranks of the pilgrimage group.
Li De hid in a dark corner, took off the hood and loose clothes on his body, put on the all-invisible optical camouflage combat suit, and after putting on the helmet, Li De disappeared completely.
The total stealth optical camouflage is not a panacea, it will also be visible under some detection conditions, and there is a limit of thirty minutes to replenish energy, but this is the only good method that Li De can think of.
Li De walked and stopped, first, to be careful of the possible papal knights, as well as the scanning of various detectors, and to keep the energy of the fully invisible optical camouflage suit abundant.
It took more than three to disappear, and Li De finally came to the interior of the Holy See district, which was the central district that only the bishop could enter.
Along the way, he saw the Aramis people lying on the ground prostrate and praying, as well as the kind and kind guides and shopkeepers, which made Li De think of Whitehead, the simple farmer.
Entering the Central District, there are no tourists, no small traders and vendors, and there are hordes of holy knights and knightly guards of the Holy See.
The guards standing guard, the patrolling knights, and the ubiquitous cameras made Li De slow every time he advanced.
In the deepest part of the central area of the Holy See, in the Pope's exclusive study, an old man wearing a gold silk robe and full of white hair is holding a thread-bound ancient book and reading it carefully.
"He's coming!" A deep voice came from the bookshelf behind the old man.
"Yes!" The old man said softly.
"Find him!"
"My people haven't found him yet, but he won't be hiding for long." The old man closed the book as he spoke, and looked up.
This old man was the noblest pope of Alamis, the idol of all the congregations, Richelieu.
At this time, the Pope was more like an ordinary old man, he slowly put the books back on the shelf, rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and came to the table.
Picked up the golden bell and shook it. With the crisp sound of a bell, a young man in a priest's robe walked into the room.
"Tell Rudolph that a guest is coming."
"Yes, Your Holiness!" The young priest lay at Richelieu's feet, kissed the top of his feet, and ran away.
The young priest trotted all the way to the middle court of the Holy See, where the Holy Knights were stationed and trained as enemies.
Rudolph is the head of the Holy Knights and the strongest shield among the Paladins. He personally commands and trains every member of the Holy Knights, and he has a very high status in the Knights.
Seeing the arrival of the young priest, the corners of Rudolph's mouth twitched slightly, as if he had expected something. The young priest whispered a few words in his ear.
Rudolph immediately stood up, his expression majestic and solemn, like a majestic mountain. (To be continued......)
