The old man was also watching Constantine.

As if to see the anxiety in the young man's heart, the Pope showed a kind smile: "Don't worry about anything, in this place, no one will, and no one can hurt you." ”

"Come with me!" said the Pope briefly.

The door slowly closed behind the two of them.

Constantine stared at the back of the Pope, his heart fluctuated, and he still did not know what the Pope's attitude was towards the events of that year, and how much he knew about what happened that night.

With the instincts and judgment he had honed over the past decade, he was sure that the Pope in front of him should have no ill will towards him, but how much kindness was there?

Although he is the deceased of his mother, Innocent is the pope of the Church of Light.

In continental legends, he is the one closest to God.

If such a character wanted to be unfavorable to himself in the Temple of Radiance, Constantine felt that even if Joey arrived in person, he might not be able to save himself.

The Pope did not seem to notice the hesitation of the young man behind him, and walked on his own, "I knew from the first day you came to Olympia, that an old friend of Cicero wrote to me about your experience in the seminary during the two years, and he spoke very well of you. ”

Hearing the name of Archbishop Cicero, Constantine's heart moved, "You asked His Excellency the Dean to bring me back to the seminary?"

"Another old friend of mine, to be exact, his name is Laplace, one of the two greatest astrologers the continent has ever seen," the Pope said slowly.

"He foresaw that you would be near the seminary, so he told me, and I knew what to do with the rest. The Pope said lightly. "Laplace, an old friend, has been keeping a close eye on you, and you'll find out why later. ”

Constantine took a deep breath, he couldn't have imagined that the trajectory of his life in the past two years was actually arranged by the Pope in front of him.

What made him even more unbelievable was that behind him, there was actually a mysterious astrologer silently watching.

"I think you must have been curious about the true identity of your swordsmanship teacher when you were younger. ”

Pope Francis said. "You may have wondered, how could an ordinary person possess such a terrifying legendary weapon as [Dawn]?How could he possess unimaginable force?How could he teach you such a top-notch body technique as [Transfiguration Refraction]?How could he possibly train you to become one of the greatest bounty hunters on this continent today?"

Hearing a series of questions, Constantine's body trembled again, unable to maintain his apparent calm.

In the ten years since he left Winterfell, the other party knows everything about himself.

It's horrible!

"Your teacher, he has a special status, and he and your mother are old acquaintances. Pope said. "Ten years ago, he appeared in the abyss and rescued you, not by coincidence, but by your mother's deathbed. ”

The two of them were walking in the outer hall of the Great Temple of Radiance, with a magnificent ceiling fresco above their heads, surrounded by sculptures of more than a hundred saints of the Church of Light, as well as many priceless works of art, any of which could be called priceless, enough to make a seasoned collector crazy.

But Constantine had no intention of appreciating all this, and his mind had become a mess.

The Pope walked leisurely and led Constantine to the nave, where hundreds of priests and priests stood beside them, and when they saw their arrival, they saluted.

"That room is the Hall of Cardinals, where the election of the popes took place. "It only opens twice a year, and of course if you want to go in and see, I can make an exception." ”

Constantine glanced at the most famous room in the history of the Church, the wooden white door was closed, and behind the door was not only the Hall of Cardinals, but also many of the secrets of the Church's history.

A curious historian might be overjoyed to have a chance to enter the Hall of Cardinals, but Constantine had no desire to enter the hall at the moment, so he laughed dryly and shook his head.

The Pope was unimpressed and continued to lead Constantine forward.

The atmosphere along the corridor is very peaceful, and in the Great Temple of Radiance, everyone's steps are quiet, as if not doing so is not enough to express awe of this ancient temple.

Here, even the passage of time seems to slow down a little.

Along the way, Constantine also witnessed many famous landscapes of the Grand Temple of Radiance.

A bronze canopy that embodies the life's work of the great medieval artist Bernini

The Sky Angel Garden, which is famous in the history of mainland architecture.

There is also the Raphael Library, which has a collection of countless rare and rare books, where, according to the Pope, Diana loved to read as a child, sometimes sitting all day.

The Pope succinctly introduced these monuments to the younger generations behind him, and any one of them was enough to savor them for a long time, but Constantine did not stop at all, but glanced absentmindedly at them.

As he walked to a hall, the Pope pushed open the door, turned to Constantine behind him, and said, "This hall must be of great interest to you. ”

Constantine looked in, and there was nothing left in the spacious circular temple, except for six stone statues.

Constantine was stunned for a moment, in those days when he was studying at the seminary, Cicero told him many rules of the Church of Light, that the statues of the saints of the past would only be stored in the outer hall of the temple, and that ordinary cardinals would not even be qualified to erect statues, but the portraits would be kept in the library.

Could it be that these six characters have a higher status than the saints canonized by the church?

The only people who can be more respected than the status of saints are the popes of the past, but in the more than 2,000 years since the founding of the Church of Light, there have been eleven popes, which obviously does not match the number of six stone statues that appeared.

As if to see Constantine's doubts, the Pope explained: "They are the six epic heroes who saved the Icadian plane from an ancient alien race in the Battle of Dawn a thousand years ago, and in order to commemorate their exploits, the seventh Pope has specially collected their stone statues and stored them here. ”

With that, the Pope waved his hand, and six heavy scrolls appeared in his hand like a juggling and handed them to Constantine.

The latter took it and found that the six books were the "Epic" series, which Heine read in his dormitory every day, and the books that chronicled the lives of the six epic heroes.

Every book has a name written on it: Schiller.

"There are only a few hundred copies of the Epic on the entire continent, most of which are stored in the City of Daybreak, and Cizeriel stole two copies and hid them in the Academy. The Pope shook his head and smiled.

"But what he doesn't know is that all he gets is second-hand materials, and the six copies in your hand are the real original manuscripts of Schiller, and the other hundreds are the restored versions of the group of people in the World Tree Council. ”

"Put it away, these six books may answer a lot of your confusion in the future. "Pope Francis is very meaningful.

Constantine looked at the six books in his hand in a daze, and quickly reacted that the Pope's gift of these six incomparably precious books to himself must have great meaning, even related to his own long-term fate.
