Chapter 894: The Holy City (4) [Four More Flowers]

Italy, the holy city of Vatican.

Probably there is no one in this world who does not know this smallest but richest country per capita, a ...... A kingdom within a nation, but a kingdom that countless Christians worship every year!

It's a country, but people in the underworld prefer to call it ...... Holy City!

Because, it was originally a country that was not even as big as a city, and it was pitiful that it was small, but because there was a pope sitting here, it became the center of the world in the minds of all believers in the church, and the place that was originally big suddenly became very eye-catching.

St. Peter's Basilica.

The largest domed church in the world, the central church of the Church, and the Holy See of the Pope!

A super cathedral destined to be engraved into history!

If there were any words to describe this church, it would probably only be in two words - a treasure! A miracle in the history of architecture! Up to now, it has endured the wind and frost of I don't know how many years, and the top of the dome in the middle of the church can overlook the whole city of Rome, and on the circular platform in the dome, you can look down on the interior of the church and admire the large mosaics on the inner wall of the dome. One of the more famous is the statue of Michelangelo "mourning Christ".

Anyway, many believers are proud to come here to worship, and it is the most precious memory of this life!

Passing through St. Peter's Square and entering the magnificent building, in the innermost chamber, an extremely honorable old man, always with a compassionate look on his face, sat on the throne in the middle and smiled faintly, with a magnificent crown on his head, a scepter in his hand, and a faint glance at a cardinal archbishop who was bent down and did not even dare to lift it through!

This old man is the current Pope, named Sambatrum 61 Alberto 61 Cappelari!

Maybe this name is not very famous, but he has another name that everyone knows - Gregory XVI!

Every day, Gregory would sit on his throne for more than ten hours, because he liked that feeling and was even obsessed with that position, because ...... No one knows better than him what he paid for that position!

Looking at the cardinal archbishop below, Gregory was silent, and after a long time, he finally asked, "Is there any movement on the side of the Dark Council?"

"Yes, Your Majesty......"

The cardinal archcardin's head hung very low, no one knew better than him what kind of cruel methods were hidden under the old man's compassionate face, he had seen too much, and he didn't want to experience it himself, but thinking about what had happened, his body trembled involuntarily at that time, and he said in a low voice: " News has just come from Africa that Alyssa, the vicious woman of the Dark Council, has waved a butcher's knife at our innocent clergy, led 4,000 warriors, and dispatched light armored vehicles to sweep through our churches, and in the churches on the banks of the Nile, she crucified our priests, and made our poor clergy a sage Jesus who saves the suffering. In Ethiopia, she even directly destroyed the rock church that carried the historical civilization, and committed a heinous crime against the historical civilization of mankind! At the same time, she ...... Even ...... Even Cardinal Saint-Yairo was killed, and it is said that Cardinal Saint-Yerro was bombarded by a cluster of artillery and blown to pieces, and even the dregs of the bones were not found!"

The Pope's face was always pale, and when he talked about what happened on the banks of the Nile, his face still had that sad look, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and there was no surprise until the cardinal archbishop finally raised his eyelids when he talked about Saint-Yero, and asked, "Has Saint-Yairo also returned to God's embrace?"

"Yes......"

The cardinal archbishop lowered his head and said tremblingly, "He...... The highest-ranking clergyman we've lost so far!"

A faint melancholy finally passed in the Pope's eyes, as if he was sighing for something!

San Yero!

A name that Gregory still remembers deeply, how powerful he was at the beginning, when he was still a small priest, he was already a star-studded existence of the Church, a terrifying light powerhouse, who led the Inquisition to punish many infidels, and left a meritorious service in the history of the Church, and it was also the biggest stumbling block in his life! After he got up, he didn't know how many means he used to defeat this biggest enemy, and he naturally sat in his current position!

Because of this enemy, he used to constantly spur himself, and even between the ages of twenty and forty, he never dared to be careless!

It was an unforgettable time!

Unexpectedly, the strongest person under the stars back then, who was considered by the people of the church to be the most promising existence to become the pope, is now dead.

For a moment, Gregory didn't know what it was like!

Is it a kind of loneliness that stands at the pinnacle of knowledge and has no rival? No, because now there is a young man in Asia who is enough to become the strongest opponent in his life!

Or is it a kind of reminiscence of the past? No, because he has no memories of the past, just a blank slate, and the only thing he is doing is to keep moving forward, keep moving forward for the sake of being on top!

In the final analysis, I am afraid that it can only be said to be a kind of emotion for the vicissitudes of the world!

Seeing that the Pope remained silent for a long time, the cardinal could not help but cautiously ask: "Your Majesty, what should we do now? The Dark Council has slaughtered our clergy so mercilessly, this is blasphemy, I think, we should publicize their evil deeds, and call on the vast number of devout followers to wage a holy war to destroy the heresy that threatens the light! Let the darkness be completely eliminated from this world!"

"God so loved the world!"

Gregory sighed, with a sad look on his face, and said softly: "Aren't the crusades of thousands of years ago enough to wake you up......? That is too cruel, I believe that God will not want to see it happen again, Solow, look at the world with a broad and generous heart, we should not be limited to narrow religiosity! We are God's spokesmen, God's faithful servants, what we need to do is to sprinkle God's brilliance and love to every corner of this world, not to use God's majesty to make this wonderful world miserable. ”

said a lot of sparsely, but it seems to be ...... It's all nonsense!

Solo looked up at Gregory with some puzzlement, but saw that the old man sitting on it just said nonchalantly: "God will punish the sins of the Dark Council!"

Solo, who seems to have understood the Pope's meaning, also pinched a cold sweat for his presumptuous radicalism just now, and didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of becoming the Pope's enemy in his position!

Just when the two reached some tacit understanding, a rush of footsteps suddenly interrupted the pope, who was about to say some nonsense, and a clergyman in a black robe stumbled in, and just entered the door was a dog eating posture poked on the carpet!

The Pope frowned and said, "What can make a servant of God uneasy?"

In the words, there was a faint blame.

But the clergyman didn't care about it, raised a pale little face, and shouted: "Oh no, Your Majesty, a missile has locked on the Holy City!"
