Chapter 660: The Pope's Invitation

If Leo had come for half a day earlier, he would probably have been able to catch up with the show of seeing the Sprint Knight being beaten. Even the heavily armed royal knights were helpless in the surging crowd, after all, this was the Holy City of Light, and if it hurt the people, it would cause a bigger turmoil, so the royal knights could only put away their weapons and greet the angry believers with only the shields and fists in their hands.

There is a saying that it is difficult to be a good man and the enemy is four-handed, and the evil tiger is afraid of the wolves. Although the royal knights relied on their superb combat skills to constantly knock the light believers around them to the ground, the more this happened, the more angry the light believers became, they chanted slogans and constantly attacked the royal knights, desperately hugging their waists, hugging their legs, pulling their crotch, and strangling their necks, making the royal knights miserable.

The most tragic of all had to be the outrageous Sprint Knight, because of his arrogance and rudeness, which caused this public outrage, and most of the believers went for him. The chief knight waved his shield on his horse, slapping the Light Believers around him, but just as Sprint kept waving his shield, one of the Believers suddenly jumped to the side of his warhorse.

This believer did not have any outstanding martial arts, but he rushed over with his own blood, and he suddenly stepped forward to save Splinter's right leg with both hands and kicked the stirrup, and dragged the Sprint Knight Captain down desperately. Under this strong tug, Sprint lost his balance, and in a panic, he handed the shield in his left hand to his right hand, and slapped the man out of nowhere.

It's a pity that Captain Sprint far underestimated the status of the Church of Light in the hearts of these believers, and also underestimated the piety and dedication of the believers, even if he kept slapping the believer, and even slapped the believer to the point that his head was covered in blood, but the other party still refused to let go.

After such a delay, a number of believers rushed to the front, some reached out to help drag Sprint's legs, and some kept waving their arms to grab Sprint's shield or his hand, and without much effort, the Knight Captain Sprint was dragged off his horse by several believers and fell to the ground.

Sprint, who was wearing knight's armor, fell not lightly this time, and the heavy knight's armor also became a burden to him, making it difficult for him to get up on the ground for a while. At this moment, the light believers seemed to have found an outlet, and they rushed over, countless big feet kicked the knight's armor to a clang, and the carefully crafted iron armor quickly appeared distorted and deformed under this series of saturation blows, and the self-righteous face of the Sprint Knight Captain also had black footprints on his self-righteous face, and there were constant nosebleeds in his tall nose, he kept rolling and howling on the ground, but he couldn't stop those light believers at all.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Bishop of the Church of Light and the suppression of the riot, I am afraid that the Knight Chief Sprint would have been the first Knight Chief in the history of the Paris Empire to be trampled to death. However, if it weren't for the fact that the bishops of the Church of Light were all good at healing, and if it weren't for Princess Sophia's worries that something would happen to him and have a negative impact on the Paris Empire, I'm afraid Sprint might not have survived.

By the time Leo reached the street, there was almost no sign that there had been a commotion except for a few blood stains on the ground.

"It seems that the Bright Holy City has not been very calm these days!" Feng Xifan leaned over and twisted the remaining blood stains on the ground with his hand, and judged the time when the blood stains were generated.

Leo glanced around and reminded in a low voice: "Everyone be vigilant, be careful! I don't know how the Church of Light will deal with it, let's try not to be involved!"

Before they could respond, a bishop of the Church of Light appeared in front of them.

"Your Excellency the Honorable Grand Duke Pritz, I am very glad that you can personally attend the coronation ceremony of His Majesty the Pope, His Majesty has been waiting for your arrival for a long time, please come with me!" the bishop was extremely respectful, and after speaking, he raised his hand and motioned for Leo and the others to follow him.

The Pope's personal reception, this honor did not appear on the envoys of other countries, firstly, because Leo was the Grand Duke of Pritz, and secondly, because according to the intelligence of the Church of Light, the Grand Duke of Pulitz did not appear at those meetings, which also means that the Grand Duke of Pulitz did not participate in the conspiracy against the Church of Light.

Although this is also the reason why Leo is not interested in the Dark Council, and there are those countries that vaguely reject the Principality of Pritz, but for the Church of Light, which is full of enemies, an ally is very crucial. Therefore, both Pope San Francisco and Pope São Paulo, who is about to be crowned, welcomed Leo's arrival.

Leo and his entourage did not enter the embassy area, but followed the bishop all the way up the winding mountain road to the peak of the Holy Mountain of Light, which is where the tallest building on the continent, the Cathedral of Light, is located, and the Pope's office is on the highest floor of the Cathedral of Light, which is known as the closest place to God in the whole continent.

The thin air on the high mountain, coupled with the thousands of stone staircases built around the mountain, if ordinary people want to climb up it requires great perseverance and will, almost every believer who reaches the Cathedral of Light can be said to be quite a believer of considerable faith. But as long as you climb to the top of the hill and see this magnificent Cathedral of Light, all the hard work and all the effort is worth it.

At this moment, Leo's heart was filled with incomparable admiration, this bright cathedral was actually built entirely of a piece of white jade, this white jade statue is a part of the holy mountain, completely connected with the holy mountain, there is no trace of artificial construction, people can't help but exclaim: This must be a miracle! If it is combined with the white snow and the holy light falling from the sky, the cathedral is reflected as if it is incomparably holy, and people can't help but feel ashamed of themselves when they see it.

After all, Leo has been influenced by countless film and television works in his previous life, and has seen many such scenes, Feng Xifan is full of contempt for these Western pseudo-gods in his heart, and Achilles and Immorton are both demigods, and they will not be affected by anything. But Sidney had no resistance to all this, and almost as soon as she climbed the stone steps to see the Cathedral of Light, she was immediately struck by the sight of mystery and power, and she fell to her knees almost immediately, and whispered repentance of all her sins.
