Chapter 154: Prophet, Headmaster, Sword Master
There was a towering city in the middle of Atlantis, and the gate of this city was ten meters high, which was high enough, but the statues inside the city were even taller when you looked through the gate.
In front of the church in the west of the city, a huge statue is fifty meters high, the carving is meticulous, lifelike, even the beard of the statue's face and jaw can be counted one by one, everyone here knows that this statue is the current Pope Pius I, and this city is called St. Panin City, the holy city of the mainland, the city where the Holy See of Light is located.
The church of St. Panin has changed from the frugal and austere it has always claimed, and the church occupies an area that is like a small town, including the main nave, the side nave, the altar, the baths, and it takes two hours to enter the innermost Prophet's Hall from the main entrance of the church.
That's how Adams came to be.
Sitting in front of him was the prophet Fatima, who was revered as a god in the Holy See, and although she wore a golden mask on her face, she could still be seen to be a woman.
The tea on the table was bubbling with a slight aroma, the blue crystal ball turned occasionally, and some scattered pictures came out of it, and Fatima's slender fingers were placed on the table, and her expression was extremely cold under the mask.
"Adams, do you know what an outrageous thing you've done?", her voice was filled with anger, it had been a long time since she had last been angry.
Adams said: "I have chosen a very good archbishop for you, he is the champion of the Sankui League, he is only fifteen years old and has extraordinary political wisdom, and he blocked the vicious burial cult for Candin City, is this very out of line?"
Fatima leaned forward and said coldly, "Do you need me to remind you of his identity?"
"Because of your and Shaman's interference, my calculations went wrong. An instrument of appointment was issued. Do you know what this means for me, for the Holy See?",
"His identity is a ticking time bomb that could pull me, the Holy See, into a catastrophe at any moment, Adams, you are so selfish to keep us all in the mire of protecting him".
Fatima's eyes were like ice.
"Now, I'm going to erase this bomb, he must die, the difference is that if he dies in the hands of the funeral cult, I will give him a beautiful funeral, if I kill him with my own hands, he will die like a nameless, there is no value, no one remembers him",
Adams shook his head: "This is the worst solution, if I don't make arrangements, I think the Knights Templar have issued a warrant for him by this time." Or maybe they've killed him, but none of that is happening now. Roger does not pose any threat to you, on the contrary, he will be an unexpected help to you, he is only fifteen years old, he is very knowledgeable and talented, you let him live well in the sun, he will make the Holy Light of the Holy See brighter",
"Impossible", Fatima sneered: "No matter how many times I divinate him, he will bring ruin to the Holy See, and there has never been an exception",
"Fatima, it is history that confirms the prophecy, not the prophecy that predicts history, and now Roger has no sign of being an enemy of the Holy See, do you want to do more?",
Fatima said categorically: "How difficult is it to change the prophecy? Just because you say a word, the Holy See will pay such a big price? That is impossible, Adams, now the Crusaders, the Tullys, the Meyer family are about to move, the Shane, the Kingo clan are eyeing the Holy See, the Holy See is already turbulent, I can't let the Holy See have another unstable factor",
The atmosphere suddenly became serious and silent.
After a long time, Adams stood up.
"I see, Fatima, if there is no place for him in the Holy See, please do not hurt him for the sake of your friends, you can remove him from office, but please do not hurt him, he is my very dear student",
"Adams, the order to requisition has been issued, can it be recovered?"
Friends for many years can only leave regrets in the end, Adams can't turn back, Fatima can't turn back, how can the decisions of the papacies in the darker than politics be arbitrary?
Outside the door, a young man in white armor and carrying a silver sword sat on the steps, his handsome face with a warm smile, his blonde hair draped over his shoulders, two sect members walked in front of him with their heads bowed, and they couldn't help but glance back at him,
Blonde, silver sword, is this the Juggernaut Augustine?
This person's demeanor is really special.
There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and the blond-haired youth stood up, the single cloak on his right shoulder fluttering.
"Teacher", he turned to Adams who walked out, the standard etiquette of the Holy See rather than the student salute of crape myrtle.
Adams smiled: "Augustine, have you been to the dark abyss?", he pointed to the ground and motioned for him to sit down, Augustine has been away from crape myrtle for three years, but his appearance has not changed much, clean facial features, warm smile, like a sunny big boy, many female students of crape myrtle fell for his smile.
Augustine shook his head and smiled, "No, even the Knights Templar can't break the barrier there",
"It's not a bad thing", Adams said, "that place, as its name suggests, is the abyss of hell",
Augustine turned his head: "Has the teacher been in?",
Adams looked ahead and didn't answer, Augustine smiled, "Although I didn't enter the dark abyss, I saw a man",
"A terrible man, with a black mask, shrouded in darkness, he carries two black boxes on his back, one large and one small, freely in and out of the dark abyss, I don't know his profession, because he has never made a move, and the regimental commander does not dare to fight him",
"He told me that beneath the dark abyss lived something I didn't expect, there were monsters from another world, there were extinct professions on the continent, there were magicians who were good at black magic, some of them had lived for two hundred years, but there were no swordsmen under the dark abyss",
Adams listened quietly, seemingly unsurprisingly at all.
Augustine said, "But he told me that there is a magic sword in the Dark Abyss called 'Copperfield', and he wants me to get it",
"Magic sword, Copperfield", Adams said calmly, "Augustine, do you need a magic sword?"
Augustine said: "I need a sword that can be comparable to the Thousand Thorns of Oga and the voice of Sadia, it doesn't matter if it is a holy sword or a magic sword",
"There have been swordsmen who have entered the dark abyss, but none of them can control that magic sword, maybe get 'Copperfield', and the people on the continent will know the strongest swordsman, the strongest knight, the strongest magician, who can stand at the top",
He said it lightly, but the ambition was exposed, and he was still the same Augustine, the Augustine whose whole heart was wrapped in a sword.
"There are many meaningful things in life, you should smell the fragrance of flowers, look at the fragrance of the garden, Augustine",
Adams stood up, paused for a moment, and walked out of the church. (To be continued......)
