Chapter 309: Pope Fury
Located on the south bank of the Tiber River, the Vatican in Rome covers an area of only 0.44 square kilometers, which is only three-fifths of the Yenching Forbidden City.
In the heart of the city lies St. Peter's Cathedral, one of the most magnificent churches in the world, with masterpieces by many artists. From the top of the tower, you can see the whole of St. Peter's Square, and you can also see the view of Rome.
And the Pope, as the supreme spiritual leader of the Holy See, lives here.
It has been more than 20 years since Romano became pope, and under his leadership, the power of the Holy See began to soar, and the number of believers has increased several times, reaching hundreds of millions.
The cardinals and blackcoats of the Holy See, as well as the personal strength of the Holy Knights, have also made great progress, and Romano is definitely more wise than the previous pope, so his personal influence in the world is amazing.
Although the Vatican is small, it is only a country within a city, but on the European continent, no country dares to provoke easily.
No, no one dares to provoke.
All because Romano's personal strength was too strong, as strong as the martial god Du Feng back then, and finally defeated in his hands.
Perhaps, Du Feng's martial arts will be higher, but his death is still directly related to Romano.
In order to pursue a breakthrough in personal strength, the Pope usually lived in seclusion and spent most of his time in retreat, which led to the real power of the Holy See mostly falling into the hands of thirteen cardinals.
This is bound to lead to civil strife.
The power of the Holy See began to diverge, and the thirteen cardinals were divided into two factions, each with its own sphere of influence.
As a result, open and secret battles are no longer inevitable.
In the eyes of the world, the power of the Holy See is unfathomable, sacred, and mysterious.
But in reality, the Holy See is also a part of society, and it is inevitable that there will be secular power struggles.
It's just that all of this is very hidden, and even the disciples of the Holy See, if they are not the most core existence, are completely ignorant of it.
The Papal Bodyguard, for example, who often patrolled the vicinity of the square, was completely unaware of these things.
It's just that half a year ago, the Pope came out of the customs again, and everyone began to converge.
Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the Pope usually ignores the affairs of the world, and everyone can fight, but if the Pope really wants to be serious - he must not be arrogant, then it is equivalent to looking for death.
The Pope is not a fool, he still has his own henchmen, but no one knows who his eyes and ears will be, and as soon as the Pope is angry, the Holy See will be calm and peaceful.
Thirteen cardinals, dozens of blackcoats, and some of the leaders of the Holy Knights, as well as many high-ranking officials of the religion, the Pope said only one word.
It's time to purge the hypocrites who are cloaked in divine vestments and doing ugly things!
And so, a bloodbath really began.
People are constantly dying, quietly, and the dead are not usually powerful people.
Everyone is in danger for a while.
It was only at this time that many people really remembered how bloody and cruel the Pope's methods were!
A turmoil lasted for half a year, and the Holy See was too large, so the turmoil ended slowly, but there was no real end.
It's just that the climax has passed, and what needs to be done now is the final clean-up work.
And at this time, news came from Huaxia Kingdom, saying that Du Feng's descendants appeared again, and they had the style of Du Feng back then.
This is definitely a big deal for the Holy See.
Many old people today have seen the power of the martial god Du Feng, and the strength of Du Feng back then has been deeply imprinted in their souls.
Therefore, some people began to say that no matter whether the news is true or false, it must be investigated.
If it weren't for the intervention of aliens, the Holy See might still be ruled by Du Feng, and Huaxia would definitely become the world's largest empire.
What about Pope Romano?
Oh well, he's just a dog from Du Feng back then, definitely!
Ever since the news came from Huaxia, Romano's mood has never been better, and this anger and anxiety have kept him awake at night.
His temper became irritable, and in the dormitory where he was located, there were already a lot of valuable artworks that had been broken by him, and these works of art, placed in the auction house, would definitely be sky-high, but he was not distressed at all, according to his identity and status, if he wanted a work of art, it was not a matter of getting his hands dirty?
He can have what is in this world, and what is not in this world, he can be created.
The authority of the Pope is unquestionable, and no one is allowed to be attenuated or offended.
As a result, a black-clothed bishop went to Huaxia to investigate the truth of the matter.
In the Holy See, there is a council hall, similar to the great hall of the ancient court of the East, where the pope sits on a high throne and below it are all the high-ranking members of the Holy See.
The Pope's face was not very good, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he looked at the cardinals below.
"Let him in!" Romano's majestic voice rang out.
His voice was very strange, as if it came from above the Nine Heavens, a little ethereal, he was obviously sitting there, but it gave people an illusion, as if he was not in front of everyone, but was high above the Nine Heavens and looked down on everyone.
All of them bowed their heads and looked so respectful that no one even dared to look up at him.
Before Abe Matsuda came in, his mood was calm.
He is also a master, and in the country of R, he is the new leader of the Evil Dragon Dao, and he can be regarded as a respected status, in his opinion, even if he sees the legendary Pope, there is nothing to be excited and worried about.
However, as soon as he entered the hall, heard Romano's voice, and looked up at the other party again, his heart immediately beat faster, his legs trembled a little, almost subconsciously, he knelt down, did not dare to raise his head again, respectfully, and said tremblingly: "The Catholic bishop of country R has seen the great Pope!" ”
Romano looked at Abe Matsuda, who was kneeling below, with an indifferent expression, and said, "You are a member of the Holy See?" ”
Abe Matsuo hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, the villain is exact, God can testify, the villain is loyal to the Holy See, only the sun and the moon can show it." ”
"I heard you have something important to report?" Romano's expression softened slightly.
"Yes, the Pope should have heard of the three masters of the Huaxia Kingdom who were wreaking havoc in my R country, I have investigated clearly, the person who came is called Du Zhenyu, who was the son of Du Feng back then, and now he has achieved great martial arts, and opened the Zhenyu Group in Yanjing, there is a great tendency to resurrect, and now the new and old martial arts forces of my Great R Empire have been washed by his blood, and the strength has been greatly reduced, only by asking the great Pope to take action and destroy this son, in order to eliminate the troubles, otherwise, he will definitely become the biggest enemy of our Holy See in the future! It can even cause many consequences that we cannot bear! ”
Abe Matsuda prostrate on the ground, begging.
Everyone looked up together and looked at Abe Matsuda, and someone began to talk softly.
Romano frowned and asked, "Have you really investigated clearly?" Got proof? ”
"The villain heard him admit his identity with his own ears, and he also said that he would first wash the country of R with blood, and then the Holy See with blood." Abe Matsuda added oil and vinegar.
Of course, this is nonsense, but Du Zhenyu does have such thoughts.
"Presumptuous!"
Romano roared angrily.
Abe Matsuda shuddered and lay down even lower, almost touching the ground.
And at this moment, from behind the Pope, an old man suddenly came quietly and muttered a few words in the Pope's ear.
The old man turned around and left, as if he had never appeared, and the hundreds of people below did not dare to raise their heads, perhaps someone with profound skills noticed it, but absolutely no one saw this scene.
Romano's face turned ugly, but he suddenly laughed again.
"Okay, I see, you can go out." Romano said: "I will definitely pay attention to this matter. ”
Abe Matsuda's goal is achieved, and he doesn't want to stay here anymore, lying here, it's really stressful!
After Abe Matsuda withdrew, Romano had a bit of a playful smile on his face, he looked at the group of cardinals below, and said: "Now it can be proved that Du Zhenyu is indeed the son of Du Feng, and you should know very well that the grievances between our Holy See and his father, the hatred between them, cannot be resolved, Du Feng committed an unforgivable crime against our Holy See, and it is natural for us to punish him, now that the devil has reborn, you are the backbone of the Holy See, and the most devout believers of God, Then it's time for you to behave. ”
Some of the people below began to break out in a cold sweat.
Is this going to be dispatched?
It's not an easy thing to deal with Du Feng's son, whoever is ordered is probably sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth!
But Romano finally called names, and in one breath he named nine people, all cardinals.
Those who are pointed out are all dead in their hearts.
These people are all people who have not been at ease over the years, and they are also the highest jumpers on weekdays.
The Pope has his own calculations, if he can get rid of Du Zhenyu, of course, it is a good thing, and if he is killed by Du Zhenyu, it is still a good thing.
Abe Matsuda used the Pope as a knife, and the Pope took out the knife!
"You immediately set off to Huaxia Kingdom and bring Du Zhenyu's head back to me, I want to use his head to pay tribute to the old Pope's heroic spirit!"
Romano looked at the group of dejected cardinals below and suddenly raised his voice: "Are you afraid? ”
……
Long Wu and Xu Qingyuan stood outside Kaiyue's life together.
Long Wu's eyes were very cold, just looking at the gate coldly, through the glass door, you could see some women dressed in pink and lovely clothes, and you could also see the colorful effect of the lights.
He discussed coming to this kind of place, he preferred to cultivate alone in a quiet environment.
Martial idiot!
Yes, he is a martial idiot, and he has a bit of the temperament of Long Thirteen when he was young, so he will be reused by Long Thirteen.
And Xu Qingyuan was still smiling, like a laughing Maitreya from the temple, but there was clearly some excitement in his eyes.
Are you finally going back to your old ways?
Xu Qingyuan muttered to himself, then exchanged glances with Long Wu, and the two walked towards the gate together.
