Chapter 158: The People Who Are Closest to God (Part II)
Seeing Archbishop Meron's rare gaffe, Roland couldn't help frowning.
Meron ignored it, pacing back and forth in the room by himself, trying his best to suppress his anger and panic between his eyebrows, but he couldn't help but say to himself: "If that woman finds out what happened back then...... That's it. ”
"What happened back then?" Roland thought, but he was a self-aware man, and knew that there were many things he shouldn't have asked or understood.
The door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
"Didn't I say that you weren't allowed to come in without my orders?" Meron yelled, but when he saw the clothes of the visitor, he froze.
Dozens of samurai dressed in snow-white robes with silver crosses embroidered on them streamed in neatly, controlling every corner of the room in an instant.
The leader was a tall warrior, with a majestic and clean face, and a knightly sword of St. Peter in her hand, but the logo on her robe was very different from the silver cross on the samurai costume beside her, and it was a golden gate that opened slightly, standing in a mist of mist.
"[Heavenly Gate] Emblem!" Roland looked at the logo on the female warrior's garment, extremely shocked, he knew that this was the exclusive emblem that symbolized the Grand Warrior of the Templar.
The Grand Samurai had a very high position in the Holy See, and according to the laws of the Church, the Samurai and his subordinates were only under the orders of the Lord of the Templar, and could even ignore the orders of the Pope and the Cardinal.
There are a total of seven great samurai chiefs in the Sanctuary, who have been cultivating in the Sanctuary all year round, and rarely appear.
Why is this great samurai chief here?
The light in Roland's hand flickered, and the sword blade formed by the condensation of the holy light had already taken shape, and the holy flame under his feet was churning, and the aura belonging to the powerhouse of the holy domain spread out.
At the same moment when Roland showed the power of the Sanctuary, the rest of the Templars also drew out the sharp blades on their waists, and dozens of powerful sword qi spurted out, forcing the flames gushing out from Roland's feet to force them back, and they could only appear within a range of about one meter.
Roland's face was slightly pale, but he was not afraid at all, just stared firmly at the female samurai leader at the head, as if as long as she took one more step forward, the sword of light in Roland's hand would be cut out.
The combination of dozens of Templars was terrifying, and even if Roland Austin was now recognized as the youngest Templar powerhouse in the entire continent, it was very likely that he would be hit hard.
But Roland didn't care about the oppressive aura coming from all directions at all, and just focused all his attention on the female warrior chief, and his face was extremely solemn.
In his eyes, the combination of these Templars was nothing compared to this tall woman.
The chief female warrior didn't look at Roland, her gaze fell on the pale Archbishop of Meron, her eyes were full of cold indifference, as if she was staring at a dead man.
"Bishop Meron, I am commanded by Her Excellency to bring you back to the Church and put you on a thorough trial for your sordid deeds of colluding with local slave owners, colluding with heretical black magicians, forcing believers to collect donations, shielding the blasphemous nobility of the diocese, selling church relics without permission, and maliciously tampering with the decrees of the Pivotal Regions over the decades since you took office. The chief warrior in an unemotional voice pronounced Meron's misdeeds.
Any one of the charges she charges would have put any church figure in a situation from which they could never recover.
The rest of the Templars looked at Meron with undisguised disgust, as if they were looking at a moth in ornate religious robes.
"No one has the right to arrest and try a cardinal without evidence, not even the Templar. ”
Meron forcibly suppressed her trembling voice, "Besides, His Majesty the Pope has not yet declared Diana the Master of the Templar, and she simply does not have the qualifications to do so now!"
"Her Excellency has become the new Holy Seat of the Templar half an hour ago, and has been recognized by the seven Grand Samurai Chiefs and the eighteen Templar Elders. ”
The chief warrior said coldly, "As for the evidence, when you arrive at the Sanctuary, the Holy See will put it all out. ”
Both Roland and Meron's faces changed drastically, and they both knew very well that the Templar Master's core inheritance law was that the previous master of the Templar must be defeated.
The previous Templar Master, Ryles, was one of the most powerful people in the Church, having already been among the Sword Saints many years ago, and he was defeated at the hands of Diana, who was in her early twenties?
What has Diana experienced this year?
At this moment, there was a loud cheer outside the window.
Looking from the window, you can see a golden light rising from the top of the main hall where the temple is located, which is a signal that the new head of the temple is in office.
Seeing this light, Meron instantly lost all confidence and confidence, and collapsed on the chair suddenly, his face colorless, sweating like rain.
Without giving the chief of the warriors a second glance at Archbishop Meron, who looked like a dead face, the chief samurai ordered the two samurai on the left and right to pick up the archbishop, who had fallen into a state of collapse, from his chair and take him out of the room.
Roland's face changed, and the flame under his feet burned more and more fiercely.
The female samurai chief suddenly tilted her head and glanced coldly at Roland.
A pair of snow-white wings spread out behind the chief warrior, and the divine transcendent power was released from her body, instantly enveloping the entire church.
The priests inside and outside the Sistine Chapel felt a powerful pressure descending on the church, and while they were frightened and trembled, they couldn't help but feel like they were bowing and worshipping.
"Don't push me to overdo you, mortal. Unfurling the angelic wings, the chief warrior said indifferently, "The Lord loves the world, but he will not tolerate heresy and betrayals hiding in the light. ”
Seeing the white and flawless wings, Roland withdrew his hand in a dejected manner, and the holy flame slowly extinguished.
...
Top of Paradise Hill
The Pope, who was about to enter the temple, suddenly paused and showed a thoughtful expression, "Diana should have successfully taken over the templar by now. ”
Constantine, who was behind him, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he knew how harsh the selection conditions for the Lord of the Templar were, he thought that it would take at least a few years for Diana to attack the position of the Master of the Templar, but he never imagined that Diana would be able to defeat the previous Master of the Templar so quickly.
"That child's progress is too fast, and it seems that the trials in the abyss have stimulated her greatly. Pope said.
What Constantine thought to himself was: There is no reason why anyone who goes to such a place should not mature, right?
The horror of the abyss, Constantine knew it very well.
Then, the boy put on a solemn expression and walked into the temple with great respect.
The scale of the temple in front of him was larger than all the previous temples, because it belonged to the temple of the first Pope of the Radiant See, Van St.
