Chapter 706: Bright Saintess
Just as Ge Wei was busy researching the plane folding engine, the human society in the Land of Redemption inevitably fell into a panic. St. Ann's Hill actually collapsed!
The Holy Mount of the Holy See, which stood for eternity, collapsed in the eyes of a group of pilgrims. Today's St. Ann's Mountain, the magnificent temple on it is long gone, and it is in ruins. Half of the mountain collapsed, as if it had been cut off by a giant axe. The collapse of the top of the mountain partially slipped down, causing the entire landslide. The sacred mountain, which could have been seen from a long distance, disappeared from the horizon at this moment, and only when you got close could you see a tragic picture.
The whole human world is in a state of panic. The collapse of the holy mountain is similar to the collapse of the sky. The news of the undead army's capture of the Holy Mountain also spread, adding to the panic among the people.
I thought that this would be a catastrophe for the destruction of mankind, and the undead reappeared in the world after tens of thousands of years, and after capturing the Holy See Holy Mountain, it was bound to continue to advance and destroy human countries one after another. Without the protection of the Holy See, humanity will be completely overwhelmed by these demons from hell.
However, no one expected that after the army of the undead poured onto the holy mountain and destroyed the holy mountain, they would actually retreat like that!
The army of the undead did not continue to advance and attack the human world. It seems that their purpose is only to destroy the Holy Mountain.
Or could it be that His Majesty the Pope, at the last moment, with the power of God, finally repelled the evil spirits? If the Pope is so powerful, why did the Holy Mountain collapse?
In short, the human world has begun to descend into unprecedented chaos in these days. The patience of ordinary civilians has long been drained by the successive wars that have swept through the countries, and now they are even worse. The undead appeared, and the prophecy of the end became the main tone of conversation. Almost a step away from the city, you can see fleeing civilians dragging their families with them. Tried to flee to the countryside for refuge.
Even the war between the two superpowers of mankind, Caesar and the Holy Bauhinia. It had to be interrupted again. If it is really a large-scale invasion of the undead, it is impossible to say that all human countries must unite to fight against the undead.
......
The Holy Mountain, the ruins of the Holy See.
In a ruined temple, there was silence. The dim environment was particularly desolate because of the few rays of light that came in from the broken walls.
Collapsed walls, broken stone pillars can be seen everywhere, and the ruins of this temple are precarious, and they could collapse completely at any moment.
But at this moment. In the midst of this ruin, however, stood a man.
An old man in a dirty white robe and pale and messy hair. Pope Rodriguez.
Today's pope has a frail and dying old man's breath, with a slight gasp for breath. The skin on his body is so withered that he does not look like a powerhouse in the mainland, but more like an ordinary mortal who is in his last years and is poorly maintained. It's even more like a necromancer who cultivates undead magic and is corrupted by the breath of the necromancy, with a rickety body and skin and bones.
That's why it's like this. Naturally, it's all thanks to Gowe.
The Pope was drained of half of his soul by Gowey at the last moment. The remaining half of the soul can still be or is already the embodiment of the Pope's strong vitality.
Even so, the Pope continued to lose the last bit of holy power. His life potential burned at the end. to maintain the intrinsic severity of the wound from continuing to worsen.
At this time, the Pope, as usual, stood under the statue of light. The figure was motionless and prayed silently.
Time passes quietly as if it didn't exist. I don't know how long the Pope's body has remained motionless like this.
Until the entrance to the ruins. The slight footsteps of two people sounded. The Pope slowly opened his eyes.
Aeoria looked hesitant as he took a small delicate hand. Standing at the gate of the ruins, his steps hesitated.
Inside, Pope Rodriguez's voice was like a candle: "Come in." ”
Aeoria felt the small hand in his hand tighten, and he couldn't help but shake it lightly, looking down at the person beside him.
Next to Aeolia was a little girl, no more than ten years old, with a small face carved in pink and jade, but at a young age she was a beautiful blank. The little girl is dressed in clean, gorgeous clothes, and the ornaments on her body all show her noble status. The little girl was looking up at Aeoria with a nervous expression, her beautiful eyes full of pleading.
Such a cute and beautiful little girl, any man can't help but love it. Aioria looked at the little girl with a soft gaze, smiled kindly at the little girl, held the little girl's little hand tightly, and reached over the other hand to gently soothe her head. He could feel the girl's nervousness, and anyone else would only be more nervous.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please come in with me. His Majesty the Pope has been waiting for a long time. Aioria patted the little girl on the top of her head, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
The little girl nodded when she heard this, looking well-behaved and lovely. But the hand held Aeolia's warm, dry big hand tighter, and the nervous look on her pretty face did not ease in the slightest.
Aeolia turned her head with a smile on her face, a look of pain on her face.
His face kept changing, painful, struggling, resolute, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, biting his lip, and taking a step to lead the little girl into the ruined temple.
If Ge Wei was here at this moment, he should have recognized this little girl.
When he first met Aeolia, he had seen little girls. At that time, the identity of the little girl was the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke Goliath, and she was canonized by the Pope himself as a princess and a saint of light. It is said that even the little girl's own father, Grand Duke Goliath, bowed his head and saluted when he saw his daughter. At that time, Ge Wei was about to sell the broken sword, and for the first time he pitted Aioria at the entrance of Reggie's auction house, and used the so-called magic sword to cut off Aioria's holy light sword.
That was the only time they met, and it was only heard that Aeolia had personally escorted her back to the capital of Goliath. And Ge Wei naturally wouldn't set his sights on this kind of worldly nobleman.
At this moment, Aeolia took the little princess to the Holy Mountain to meet the Pope, but what happened?
In the dimly lit ruins of the Temple, Aeolia paused ten paces behind the Pope and fell to one knee. It's just that in his other hand, he is still holding the little princess's tender little hand.
The Pope turned slowly and effortlessly. Seeing the Pope's withered and ugly face like the bark of an old tree, the little princess's big eyes couldn't help but show a trace of fear, and her thin body leaned back slightly. And the Pope stared at her with a scrutinizing gaze, a pair of cloudy eyes. (To be continued......)
