Chapter 0309: Sanctuary
The paladins left quietly, Downing walked on the street, observing the believers in the Holy City, everything here is free for the aborigines of the Holy City, including food, shelter and transportation, only outsiders need to pay, and the aborigines here except go to the church every day to listen to the teachings of the Holy See, and then enjoy life, no need to work.
"What a wonderful city. Dressed as believers, Downing walked into a church where some of the faithful were showing their devotion to their faith, mingling with the believers, listening to their respect for God and observing the staff of the Holy See.
He had already observed the cathedral where the Holy City Pope was located, it was heavily guarded, and even the paladins guarding the door had silver sword badges, which meant that once they approached, they would be arrested by the other party who discovered their supernatural powers, so he had to find a safer way.
There is no good way in the church, come out of the church, walk on the street, and soon see some strange scenes, some believers with trays on their heads, some items in the trays, holding the trays with both hands to avoid falling, these believers walk together neatly, and those believers on the street who see them bow their heads and salute reverently.
He walked up to one of the believers and bowed as he did. "What are they going to do?"
The believer on the side looked up at the young man beside him, looking a little surprised. "Don't you know......?" seems to have committed an unforgivable crime.
"I'm sorry, I'm just here in Holy City. Downing was embarrassed to explain.
These believers usually choose to collectively pay tribute to the pope of the cathedral on weekends, as a kind of reverence for the Holy See, and some will even contribute their own heirs to the Holy See, and to be able to become a member of the tribute emissaries, it needs to be selected by the churches in various places, not everyone has the opportunity, usually the most devout believers.
It was a good opportunity to go to a local branch church, which the Holy See staff were working on, but it was difficult to convince them that they were devout believers.
However, the matter was soon solved, and the so-called most devout believers were those who were willing to give more possessions, and the criterion for judging was the wealth contributed, although the inhabitants who lived here did not need wealth, but those who could reach beyond the Holy City needed wealth to show their status, so they usually received such a reward privately.
Money is not any problem for him, as long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is not a problem at all in front of him, squatting among those devout believers, Tang Ning took out a check.
Soon arrived in front of the staff and handed the check, and the staff member of the Holy See who received the check looked at the young man in front of him, quickly put the check away, and then helped the young man up. "What a devout believer, I can see that your loyalty to the Holy See is unparalleled, and now please follow me. ”
Passing through the hall of the church, they reached a passage, where the staff of the Holy See motioned for the young men to wait, and entered the room at the end of the passage alone.
"Mr. Bishop, someone contributed a check worth three hundred thousand Caesars. The staff handed over the check and looked at the bald cardinal excitedly.
The bald bishop, who was in charge of the church, took the check and put it in his small box. "Very good, hurry up and bring him in to meet me. ”
Downing was brought before the bishop, who took the young man by the arm and praised him warmly: "I can already see in your eyes your devotion to God, and you must want to see His Majesty the Church and offer him your gifts." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty has created a happy life for our family, and I have to thank him personally. Tang Ning lowered his head slightly, looking very humble.
"Okay then, let's do the last test. The bald bishop, dressed in red papal service, led the young man to a box in the room, and when he opened it, there was a dull ball of light. "Come on, put your hands on it. ”
It is a magic ball, a magic ball that can detect supernatural powers, Anruida is cautious enough, in order to avoid himself from being in danger, he even came up with such an assessment procedure, as long as he has dangerous supernatural powers, he can't approach him, it's really cunning.
Once the finger is placed, the supernatural power will make the magic orb glow brightly, and he will be taken down by the clergy of the church here, and when he enters, he will be able to see many silver sword badge paladins.
slapped his head violently, and Tang Ning's expression was annoyed. "Sorry, I forgot something very important and didn't bring a gift. ”
"It doesn't matter, we will prepare gifts for devout believers like you, and you don't need to prepare them yourself. The skinhead didn't want to lose the check he had put in the box, it was just a gift, and he was willing to give it for free.
"You don't understand, I have been preparing such a gift for a long time, and the blessings of our whole family are on it, and we must bring it. Downing's expression was annoyed. "I'm stupid, no one is like me, right? ”
The bald bishop also tried to persuade the young man to take out a new check once again. "You'll definitely reserve a spot for me until I bring the gift, right? ”
The bald cardinal did not expect to receive a check again, and the denomination was even larger, of course he was quite willing, took the check, and said with a gentle smile: "Of course, the Holy See is usually willing to give a chance to any believer who makes a small mistake. ”
Leaving the church, Downing returned to the inn and saw the paladin who had returned early. "Why, you didn't go to your mother?"
Cybertron had been in the Holy City for a long time, but he had no idea who had taken his mother, and he had no way of inquiring about it, and the huge Holy City made him dizzy.
"You can go to the local agency in charge of the Paladins and ask about the Paladins who have been to Blott City, and maybe get some news. Downing gave a little advice, but he also had a problem, how to avoid the magic orb.
He looked up at the paladin in front of him, who had already gotten up and was about to go out. "You must not mind suppressing my supernatural power with the holy light on your body, it only takes half an hour. ”
The Holy Light can suppress supernatural powers, which is a better way, if some potions are used, the potions themselves are supernatural powers, and they will also be detected by the magic ball.
Cybertron turned around, and a golden light appeared in his palm, and now the holy light released by the top paladin of the Golden Sword Badge could completely suppress Tang Ning's supernatural power temporarily.
After solving these problems, Downing rushed to the church he had been to earlier, bought a white cloth on the way, and wrote people's names on the cloth.
"You're back, just in time, and I've reserved a spot for you. "The bald bishop has a good opinion of young people. "Now we can do the probing. ”
Tang Ning placed his finger on the orb, which was still dark and did not emit any light, which meant that his supernatural powers had not been discovered, but he had to pretend not to know. "What's going on, why doesn't the magic ball react, is it that my faith is not pure enough. ”
The bald cardinal suddenly smelled the wealth again, and the unsuspecting young man might be able to squeeze a little benefit, he patted the young man on the back and comforted: "Although your faith is not enough to activate this magic orb, we can solve it in other ways, this kind of problem is not only yours." ”
What an insatiable fellow, Downing took out another check and handed it to the other party, accepted the check, and entered the line to pay tribute, waiting to enter the cathedral.
The structure that governs the Holy City's paladins is called the Templar, and they are in charge of the Holy See's military power and paladins, which is indeed a pretty good avenue for investigation, but with a little risk.
Cybertron found the location of the Sanctuary in the Holy City, and then revealed his golden sword badge, which immediately attracted the attention of many people on the street, paladins with golden sword badges are always rare, even in Holy City, and it is such a young golden sword badge paladin.
A child ran over and looked up at the young man. "Uncle, I hope I can have that beautiful badge like you. ”
Many children in the Holy City, under the influence of their families, want to become clergy of the Holy See, preferably paladins, paladins with golden sword insignia.
Cybertron looks down at the child, the child's eyes are clear, you reach out and stroke the child's head, and sit down. "This badge isn't worth the effort you have to work for. ”
The child returned to the mother, who took the child into her arms. "You'll be like him. ”
"My uncle said the badge wasn't worth my effort. The child's voice reached the ears of the surrounding believers, and the believers fled in panic, as did the mother with the child in her arms.
Entering the Templar, the clergy of the Holy See saw the young men with the golden sword badge, these people were always respected by the clergy, had a revered status, and someone greeted them. "What can help you. ”
"I'd like to know the list of paladins heading to Blotter City. Cybertron was blunt.
The clergy hesitated for a moment and held out his hand. "I need to get the instructions from above, you can't look at these materials at will, you know the rules. ”
"It's urgent, I need this, it's a secret act, and no one can know about it. Cybertron lowered his voice and reminded the other. "His Majesty the Pope considers some of our ranks to be disloyal. ”
The clergyman's expression was panicked, there was a traitor in the Holy City, it was unbelievable, he did not doubt that the paladins of the Golden Sword Badge could indeed only be sent by His Majesty the Pope. "No problem, you wait. ”
Soon a list was listed, there was only one person in total, and it was also a paladin with a golden sword badge, and the clergyman handed the list to the young man in front of him, and said in horror: "Bonucci is a loyal paladin, he has the trust of His Majesty the Pope, he is not very much like a traitor. ”
