Chapter 45: The Bell Rings Twice

Continental Center, Holy See.

Although it is autumn, the sun is shining and the vegetation is lush.

In the distance, there is a complex of undulating buildings, huge and magnificent.

In the tall white-roofed bell tower, a huge bronze bell is placed in it.

The bell has penetrated through the years, leaving mottled traces.

In front of it sits a wide square, and in the center stands a statue of the Lord of Radiance made of white marble.

The white doves were foraging for food nearby, and when they were startled, they circled around the idol, and they did not know how many hundreds, thousands.

A middle-aged man with curly hair saw this scene and was a little immersed in this holy atmosphere.

His eyes were misty, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was awakened by his companion.

"It's only here that you can see such a scene."

The curly-haired man seemed to sigh, and he crossed his hands and bowed respectfully to the tall statue.

He was an envoy sent by the Empire of the Mass to attend the conference.

When his companion saw his behavior, he didn't know what to say for a while, but he understood it.

After all, it is the people of the Mass Empire.

The empire can be said to be a supporter of the Holy See throughout the country, even the Great is no exception.

And it also intensified, and in his own palace, a statue of the Lord of Glory was enshrined openly.

Thinking of this, the companion couldn't help but shake his head.

He was an envoy of the Ottoman Empire, and he traveled tirelessly to the headquarters of the Holy See, also to attend a conference that could change the course of the continent.

At this meeting, the pope, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared, indicating the high importance of the meeting.

The Ottoman envoy withdrew his gaze and looked up at the bronze bell high above.

I heard that it was because of the ringing of the bell that led to the emergence of this meeting.

He was not a low-level person, and as a nobleman, he vaguely knew the meaning of the bell ringing at the headquarters of the Holy See.

The bell rang, signaling the morning star's blood.

When the bell rings twice, the moon falls.

As for the successive bells, this has happened only a few times in the history of the Holy See.

According to records, after the continuous ringing of the bell, the pattern of the mainland will be completely changed, and most of the forces will face a reshuffle.

There are many natural disasters and wars.

It was as if it were the sound of revelation before the chaos.

The Ottoman envoy stared at it for a moment, not seeing anything different about the bronze bell.

Then he gave up the speculation in his heart, and the most important task at the moment was-

Spy on intelligence, all kinds of extremely detailed information.

As for how to make the Ottoman Empire survive this chaos, or even increase its strength, it is not something that people like him can consider.

Let Your Majesty and the group of big masters slowly have a headache.

The Ottoman envoy patted his companion on the shoulder and said.

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting too long."

Although the Mass Empire had various gaps with the Ottoman Empire, it did not affect the friendly relationship between him and the Mass envoys.

The solemn face of the Mass envoy relaxed, and then he exchanged a smile with Osmantes.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the square, distant and solemn, as if it came from the sky.

The Ottoman envoy and the Mass envoy were stunned for a moment, and looked together at the source of the voice.

It is the huge bronze bell in the white-roofed bell tower.

The two looked at each other, and it was clear that the Mass envoy also knew the meaning of Zhong Ming.

Just as he was about to say something, there was another bell ringing.

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the Ottoman envoys and the Mass envoys froze completely, and the words they wanted to say were also gagged.

The bronze bell of the Holy See headquarters rang twice!

It's Hui Yue......

Fallen?!

The two of them were a little incredulous, in this seemingly peaceful and stable era, there was a strong man with Huiyue who fell for some reason.

They quickly regained their expressions, and no matter how frightened they were, their faces changed to heavy mourning.

At the same time, he was speculating in his heart about which Bright Moon powerhouse.

They knew all the information about the bright moon on the continent, and they turned around in their minds, first ruling out the possibility of falling due to lifespan.

Huiyue has an extremely long time, and today's Huiyue is almost all new generation, so it is impossible to have a lifespan problem.

The only one who can make one Katsuki fall, is the other.

Is the Holy See doing it with whom?

The two walked through the white doves that were scattered by the sound of the bells.

Before the chaos began, a Huiyue powerhouse fell first.

This casts a thick and heavy shadow over their hearts.

……

Interior of the church.

Immaculate white marble columns support elegant arches, and the floor is covered with terrazzo granite tiles that illuminate human figures.

The zenith is very high, and it is a transparent glass window with a view of the sky.

The holy white sunlight shone in from above, and under the Tyndall effect, it seemed to open a path to heaven here.

In the place shrouded in light, there is a large crystal tabletop, which scatters the light in all directions.

On the four walls, religious stories and pictures and reliefs are painted to exhort the world, and every detail is exquisitely crafted.

Several people sat down around the crystal table in turn.

Listen to the bells ringing outside the Holy See, and be silent for a moment, mourning the loss of a colleague.

Sitting here are the archbishops guarding the major empires, as well as several Huiyue powerhouses from the Holy See headquarters.

They have not met here for a long time.

The old man in the first seat was the first to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Archbishop stationed in the Ottoman Empire has been confirmed to have fallen."

Everyone present did not have any look of surprise, and it was obvious that they had already received the news.

"In this regard, my heart is very sad and deeply regretful."

"During his reign, he was very faithful to the faith of the Lord of Light, and he worked diligently without complaint......

In the face of the old man's tirade, everyone was silent.

They knew each other very well, and knew that it was just a scene.

The old man paused, coughed lightly, and continued.

"Although I regret his passing, people cannot be resurrected, and the Ottoman Empire cannot let go easily."

"So, somebody has to be over there."

"Do you have any thoughts on that?"

The Huiyue powerhouses present finally exchanged glances, and then jointly nominated a Huiyue to be the archbishop stationed in Ottoman.

They had already negotiated things in private, and the interests of all parties had been exchanged.

So now it's just a formality.

The old man watched their swift and tacit movements, and said nothing, because he was also a beneficiary.

But that's the point

"Ladies and gentlemen, the ringing of the bronze bell, which has been silent for thousands of years, indicates that an era of chaos is coming."

"For the sake of the Lord of Radiance, how can we ensure that the Holy See can continue?"

In fact, it is more accurate how to expand and expand their own strength, which is also the main idea of the major empires.

Huiyue, who was present, finally began to discuss, but the main direction was to unite with other big forces.

After all, the situation of the Holy See is getting worse and worse, and they no longer have any choice.

In the end, only the Empire of the Mass was chosen.

The Secret Council was not very good with the Holy See, and the other two empires and forces were not very interested in the Holy See, only the Mass Empire still maintained the faith of the Lord of Light.

After finalizing this matter, the old man quickly threw out the next topic.

"I wonder what you think of the Lord of Dusk coming to the world and giving him favors?"
