Chapter 432: Dragon's Head Scepter
Vatican City.
In the splendid Papal Palace, Osman wore royal robes, crowns, sacred crosses on his chest, and held a golden dragon-headed scepter, with a blue face on his face, listening to a clergyman kneeling on the central floor of the palace report on the battle of last night.
As the clergy continued to tell, Osman's slightly closed eyes became more and more angry, and the dragon-headed scepter in his hand was "gurgling" by his hand, but fortunately, this scepter was made of extraordinary material and was not crushed by Osman with one hand.
Rao is like this, lying on the dragon's head scepter, a golden insect like a silkworm chrysalis, after feeling the anger of the Ottomans, the petite body can't help but tremble, and the short wings keep "buzzing" and trembling in the air.
The Holy See has a history of thousands of years. For such a long time, he naturally has a divine weapon that is the treasure of the town. The Purple Gold Crown, the Holy Cross, the Scarab Beetle, and the Dragon's Head Scepter are the treasures of the Holy See, known as the Four Great Artifacts.
Among them, the Purple Gold Crown is the most powerful in terms of defense and attack. In the case of deliberately urging the crown, the holy light emitted by the crown can directly kill low-level dark creatures.
The crown can then also preserve the wearer's soul in the event of physical destruction. It has an unexpected effect on the future soul transfer and reincarnation.
The Holy Cross and the Scarab Beetle, the former can summon angels to earth. The latter is able to burrow into the body of living beings and absorb the power of life. Both are biased towards attack.
These three artifacts have been passed down in the Holy See for thousands of years, and only each pope is qualified to use them. It is rumored that all three artifacts were left behind by God Jesus.
As for the last item, the origin of the dragon's head scepter, it is a little unpredictable. Because the dragon's head scepter was Osman himself, and he got it from nowhere!
Fifty years ago, the young Osman was just the lowliest, lowliest clergyman. In seminary, I was bullied every day. No matter who it is, as long as it is a person, it can crush him.
The humiliated Ottomans were lost in the Alps during an outing. At that time, everyone thought that Osman had been eaten by wild beasts. But on the hundredth day of his disappearance, Osman suddenly returned to the Vatican.
Returning with Osman was the Dragon's Head Scepter in his hand. Relying on this dragon-headed scepter, Osman beat those who had bullied him severely, and trampled on his face. In the end, with the power of the dragon's head scepter, he climbed up step by step, until twenty years ago, he sat on the throne of the pope.
Since becoming the Pope, the Dragon's Head Scepter has not left Osman's side for a second. Eat, sleep, bathe, go to the toilet. No matter where you are, what you're doing. The Ottomans all clung to the dragon's head scepter.
Osman was so nervous about the performance of the dragon's head scepter that some people saw it in their eyes, and secretly, they couldn't help but laugh at Osman, saying that the dragon's head scepter was Osman's son. Some of the big-mouthed ones subconsciously spread the news after hearing the news.
Faced with this situation, Osman smiled on the surface. But behind the scenes, those who opened their mouths and chewed their tongues all died unexplained. Since then, no one has dared to speak with the Dragon's Head Scepter.
For twenty years, the Ottomans held the dragon's head scepter and sat in the position of the pope, and had firmly ruled the entire Holy See in his hands. Anyone who dared to oppose him was completely eradicated in the past twenty years.
In other words, the current Holy See is actually the Ottomans, and one person has the final say. The noble and majestic dragon-headed scepter penetrated into the souls of all believers, and became the spokesperson of the Ottomans. If you see the dragon's scepter, you will see Osman himself.
In normal times, Osman would have held a dragon's head scepter. But today, the purple gold crown, the sacred cross, the scarab beetle, and the dragon's head scepter were all taken out and worn on the body.
For the second time in twenty years, the Ottoman wore such a costume. The last time was twenty years ago, when Osman sat on the papal throne for the first time and was crowned.
Today, however, Osman put on them for the second time. This represents the Ottomans' determination to wipe out all the dark creatures.
The clergyman, who knelt on one knee in the center of the hall and reported the situation of the battle, felt for the first time that the Ottoman was so powerful and terrifying.
Although the Ottomans, nothing was done. Just sitting upright, but the huge coercion released from him, as well as the majestic momentum like the sea, forced the clergyman not to even dare to breathe.
"You mean, forty white-clothed bishops, twelve cardinal-clothed archbishops. Seven Knights Templar, ten Paladins. Thirteen thousand demon slayer army. In the end, less than a thousand survived?"
Osman closed his eyes slightly, and after the clergy's debriefing, he tapped his right index finger on the table next to him, and said with a blank face.
"Yes...... Yes, Your Majesty. The clergyman, trembling, sweat flowing uncontrollably, said in a trembling voice, "Black ...... Creatures of Darkness, Resembling ...... It seems that there has been a long preparation. ”
"Whenever the warriors of our Holy Cult push them into a corner, they will jump out from the side of more powerful dark creatures, or evil formations, and kill our warriors to death. The warriors who can survive, or ...... Or was it because I was alert before...... He was not killed. ”
Osman was silent, half-loud, and under the frightened faces of the clergy, he said coldly, "The warriors who survived were probably not alert, right? If I'm not mistaken, they didn't go to the battle at all, so they didn't die at the hands of the dark creatures, right?"
"Poof!"
The clergyman fell directly to his knees on the cold floor, his body trembling, but he did not dare to answer.
Osman has said this, what else can he say? Say that those soldiers who did not die, because they were lazy, ran to play halfway? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Holy See in front of the Pope!
Who in the world doesn't know that every candidate for a Templar or Paladin is a warrior who is selected from hundreds of millions of people all over the world to represent the face of the Holy See?
Such a warrior, if outsiders knew that because he was lazy and playful, and even greedy for life and afraid of death, he did not participate in the mission, so he survived. This makes the billions of believers around the world, how do they view the Holy See, how do they view Pope Osman?
Faced with such a situation, the clergy did not dare to say a word more. He knew that Osman was dressed today, but he was afraid that he had already prepared.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Osman suddenly stood up, holding the dragon's head scepter, and said desolate as he walked towards the gate, "It's been fifty years, and it's finally here." ”
