Chapter 612: The True Cross (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that in the direction of St. Paul's Cathedral, there was billowing black smoke rising.

A grandmother of the God of Light

Almost everyone felt an electric current from the tail bone, and then rushed upward, along the backbone bone, all the way to the top of the head, causing the cold hairs all over the body to stand up, and the scalp was numb for a while.

This is St. Paul's Cathedral

The most splendid building ever built by mankind

Art history is the greatest work

If this cathedral were to catch fire, the foundations of the Holy See would be shaken.

All believers will wonder the Holy See: Is it true that the merciful Father, the great God of Light, has sensed something wrong and, in his wrath, will mercilessly abandon his place on earth?

Although the cardinal was only a brother and thug who followed others, and was not a wise and skilled politician, he also knew very well how deadly this suspicion would be.

Once a doubt grows in people's hearts, no matter how weak and powerless it is, it will eventually turn into a terrible man-eating flower, engulfing all the qiē

Under the shock, he felt a bucket of ice water pour down from his head, and the chill of the forest was cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

He shook his body a few times, and almost fell to the ground.

There was silence in your hotel at first, real silence, and the people who put out the fire were stunned like sculptures, carrying buckets in their hands, twisting their heads and looking at the place where the fire was burning.

The cardinal then came to his senses again.

He shouted to the knights and guards, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry, go and put out the fire, ring the alarm bell, and call the whole city to put out the fire." ”

Lorraine is now, he is roaring with all his strength in a hurry, the voice is a little distorted, sharp and high, the voice is harsh, extremely ugly. It's like being a eunuch.

After the cardinal finished speaking, he didn't care much at the moment, bent down and grabbed the corner of the robe, picked up the robe, and like a perverted exhibitionist, exposed the two hairy thighs below, and then shook off the big stride and ran over quickly.

The knight guards did not dare to slack off at this time. If the cathedral really burns down, the Holy See will be furious, and they will all have to lose their heads.

At the very least, he should be charged with dereliction of duty, confiscated 300,000 miles, and went to a wild place.

And then...... Then they had to wash their whites, and then sit in the soup pot and talk to the cannibals who were cutting turnips, onions, garlic, and fire at the bottom of the pot, and talking about life, ideals, and so on. Educate those who don't understand civilization, but they are good at cooking human meat barbecued pork buns.

Thinking of the consequences of the accident, the guards present were first frightened, and then someone shouted: "Go and put out the fire." ”

They all spread their feet, carrying buckets, copper basins, and other household items in their hands, turned around and ran over, as if no one looked back at the fire scene in your hotel.

Like a pack of rabbits in a lion's den, they stared at their red eyes, raised their thighs, and rushed forward desperately.

Lorraine looked at their panicked appearance, and couldn't help but snort, these stupid forks really deserve it

By this time, the entire well had been poured into the burning building, and Lester had extinguished the fire in front of him, leaving only black wreckage and wisps of green smoke.

He paused, then looked at the scene of the sewage fire, and nodded in satisfaction.

The hall is now miserable, all the glass windows have been shattered into slag in the flames, and the beautiful façade that was originally renovated has turned pure black under the flames.

Inside the hall was something like black charcoal, mixed with the water, like a pure black swamp.

Looking at the result of this completely caused by them, Lester sighed in his heart: Don't look at Lorraine's tossing and turning so many tricks, glass and muskets or something, but when it comes to practical effects, such as this fire extinguishing, in the end, we magicians are the most effective

Lester, who thought he was a step ahead, turned his head for a long time to look at the green smoke rising from the cathedral in the distance, but his face was a happy expression of admiring some beautiful scenery.

As a mage, and especially as the leader of the mages, Lester would not miss a chance to disgust the priests, give them trouble, or watch their jokes, and in all the mage guilds, jokes mocking the priests are always the hottest topic - even though these mages don't have much humor, and the jokes they tell can even freeze to death on the mammoth.

But, despite this, such jokes are most popular, let alone such a close-up look at the pastors in a big way.

Lester was not in a good mood right now, and the fire was enough for him to brag about it to his colleagues for another ten years

After looking horizontally and vertically, until he had a good time, Lester flicked his fingers, and then asked, "Lorraine, you have a lot of bad ideas, do you think we should help them put out the fire?"

Lorraine had already squinted his eyes for a long time at this time, and he saw that although the smoke was rising, it was only a little black and heavy at first, but then it gradually became thinner and lighter, and drifted with the night breeze. Apparently the fire is not big. And there are still people who are deliberately controlling the fire, which can achieve such an effect.

He immediately said: "No need, everyone is mixed up." You have to take care of the face of others. It is taboo to go to work for someone before they have made a request. And it's still thankless. In case they sue us for ulterior motives and try to steal treasure or something, when the time comes, it will be yellow mud falling into the crotch of our pants, and it will be not but."

Lester listened to what he said and had a very good appetite for himself, and immediately laughed, and said with a gloating face: "That's right. Let them go. Let's just watch the joke from the sidelines. ”

But it didn't take long to see that the wisp of smoke in the distance was getting lighter and fainter, and finally gradually dissipated with the light wind.

When Lester saw this, he couldn't help but be disappointed, and said, "Oh, if I had known about this, I should have secretly gone over and helped light two fires, so that those puppies would be very busy for a while." ”

After saying that, he kept smacking his tongue.

Lorraine glanced at him sideways, and saw that he had a look of regret, and that look really didn't look like a pretend, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, this damn old guy is really vicious.

He suddenly remembered something, then looked around, and said, "By the way, where is Leo? Where has he been? I haven't seen him and Shiro since now." ”

Vera blinked and said, "I don't know, when he was in the chaos just now, he threw the torch and seemed to run outside." ”

Lorraine secretly said in his heart: Although the hooligan's martial arts are not high, under normal circumstances, one or two big men can't get close, and there is a pistol in his hand, and in addition, there is Bai next to him, there should be no problem.

Besides, with his identity, no one in the Vatino City really dared to recruit him.

Thinking of this, his worries couldn't help but ease a lot, but for the sake of safety, he still said to the cooks next to him: "Young and beautiful eldest sisters, can you help find the boy just now, yes, it is the white and chubby fat man just now, and there is an equally chubby elephant ...... by his side."

As soon as he said this, he heard an angry voice next to him: "Boss, you are saying bad things about me behind my back again." Again, I'm not fat at all."

Lorraine turned her head to look, and saw a dead fat man with a black and gray face emerge from the darkness on one side.

Beside him, there was also an equally fat elephant that trembled with a step, and the flesh of his whole body trembled three times. The elephant, also with an angry face, kept screaming, and said to Lorraine that he had grown fat, expressing stern protest

It's Leo and White, the two bad guys.

Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly, 'This is Leo, Leo is coming', it is even faster than Cao Cao.

At this moment, Leo came to the front, his hands on his hips, and looked at Lorraine angrily.

Lorraine looked sideways at him, and couldn't help but wonder: when he set the fire just now, he didn't see his face black and gray, and the white was also dirty all over his body, as if he had been pulled out of a coal pile.

In fact, when he came out of the hall after setting the fire, Leo had no ash on his body.

He immediately diverted the topic and said, "Where did you two just go? Now the Vatino City is in chaos, these dead bald people are poisonous and poisonous, and there are vicious traps everywhere, if you get killed, it will be over. ”

Leo listened to his words and couldn't help but froze. At the moment, he was no longer angry, and said with a smile: "You said just now...... , isn't this arson?......"

Lorraine glared at the moment.

"Bah, Bah, I was wrong. Leo immediately came to his senses and hurriedly changed his words: "Isn't this a fire?"

As the saying goes, 'set fire to wet the bed'......"

Lorraine sighed at the moment, and then said word by word: "It's a fire, it's not arson, look at the shape of my mouth, it's a fire and wetting the bed, not setting fire to wetting the bed." Got it? If you dare to say that I'm going back to tell Nicole if I set it on fire. ”

Leo realized that he had made another mistake, but he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Boss, you are not interesting enough, you are really not at all." There's no one else here, why are you so nervous?

By the way, where did I go?"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Oh, yes. As the saying goes, 'set fire to pee'...... Uh, misfire, okay, alright, it's 'misfire bedwetting', it's okay, don't stare at me anymore, it's so fierce, it's wrinkled. And people are easy to look old, and they won't be able to soak in a drifting girlfriend in the future. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

Leo continued: "Let it go...... Uh, misfire bedwetting. I'm really going to see this as a universal truth."

As he said this, his big black and white eyes flashed at the moment, and he glanced at Lorraine secretly.

Seeing Lorraine's noncommittal face. He hurriedly laughed twice, and then continued: "I involuntarily felt a little urgent when I set the fire, but for a while, I couldn't find the thatched house. Later, I remembered that I was going to promote green environmental protection now, so I went to the garden to solve it.

Later, later, as you know, the garden was so big, and the flowers were so high, that I couldn't let you see it, so I went a little more inside, and then I lost my way. I'm going around with Shiro, so ...... You know, it's only so late. ”

Lord Lorraine knew the habits of this scoundrel, and the more he lied, the more he talked. I want to cover it up as much as I can.

At this time, he was playing haha again, grinding his teeth and talking for a long time, which was 100% a lie.

Lorraine was suspicious for a while, this guy was definitely going to do something unseemly again.

He was about to seriously interrogate the scoundrel, but at this time, Lester next to him interjected, and said: "Lorraine, you don't care about Leo for now, let's talk about what we should do now? Your hotel is burning, and we are happy, but where are we staying tonight? It's been tossing for most of the night, and I can't compare with you young people, old man." ”

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don't we go outside and find an inn to live in?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately remembered that this was a sensitive time, and if he went outside to find an inn, although there was no problem, it would definitely deepen the suspicion of the Holy See.

While he was hesitating, an attendant had already walked over beside him.

The man bowed politely to the crowd, and then said, "Two lords, Cardinal Obachem knows about the fire in your place, so he has sent me here and invites you to another hotel. It's not as luxurious as it is here, but it's comfortable. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and gestured to his chest, saying, "Everyone, please come with me." ”

Lorraine looked at his face and found his name in his memory for the moment. couldn't help laughing: "Senior Brother Chaves, it's really hard for you to make a trip in person for this little matter." ”

Chaves also grinned and said, "What is this, who let us all come out of the Maple Leaf Danlin, not to mention, you also earned a lot of face for the people of our academy."

Whoever mentions it is not a thumbs up and praise, but even those who graduated from our colleges are also stained with great light...... The brand of Maple Leaf Danlin is mentioned, and now who is not going to be respectful. ”

Lester next to him couldn't help but snort lowly.

Chaves is also a very far-sighted and expert at listening to the wind and arguing, and his tone changed at the moment, and he continued: "What's more, there is also one of the three deans of our academy, the Lester Forbidden Spell Grand Magister, who is the pillar and hope of all mankind, the third greatest mage in the past, how dare I not serve you well?"

If nothing else, even if his old man has a cold and a sneeze, I will commit suicide to apologize. ”

That is said to be extremely numb, Rao is Lorraine has always been 'the water of the river or something', and the ability to bear it is extremely strong, but at this time I feel a little sick to my stomach, and it seems that the title of the third greatest magister that Lester has given himself has spread all over the world.

The old man didn't think the wind was blowing, and his tongue flashed. Lorraine sneered in her heart.

But Lester said very modestly at the moment: "It's not so strict, it's not so strict." I've just made a little contribution. Not enough to mention, not enough to mention, ahahahaha...... Compared to the second, I still have a little bit of a gap. ”

It seems that Lester himself is already sitting on the sidelines.

Chaves also echoed and laughed a few times, then turned to the side, made a gesture, and said, "Rank, please come with me." The hotel is not far from here, but it's getting late now, and if I delay your rest, I won't have another culpability......"

The crowd burst out laughing, and then followed Chavez along the path in the garden towards a nearby building.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Leo stretched out his paw at the moment, wiped the sweat on his head, let out a long breath, and let out a sigh.

Lorraine didn't realize it, because of the interruption just now, in the negligence, he had forgotten to continue to interrogate the scoundrel.

At this time, after Leo wiped his sweat, he stretched out his paws and touched Bai Huantian happily to celebrate.

Vera took a few steps, but now Leo didn't follow, she turned around and said, "Leo, you come with me quickly." Don't get lost again. ”

Leo paused, then agreed, and then hurriedly ran up.

He came to Vera's side and whispered, "My dear, beautiful sister Vera......"

Vera sighed, she was too familiar with Leo's trick, as long as she caused trouble, she spoke in this tone, Vera said: "You rascal, don't be a sycophant, just say anything?"

Leo whispered, "Here's the thing......"

Lorraine listened to what he said about the mystery, and his heart could not help but move, and he was about to concentrate on listening, when Chaves said something again.

Lorraine didn't hear what Leo and Vera were muttering to him.

Accompanied by Chaves, everyone came to the hotel next to it, where they had already received the news, and politely invited all the original guests inside, and then cleaned up inside and out, and greeted them.

Although Lorraine has always been extremely uninterested in such things as power, and even a little disgusted. Because in this way, he has no way to play hooligans, and if he doesn't play hooligans and fights, he won't have prestige. If you don't have prestige, you have to charge a lot less protection money, but at this time, you have to bear the benefits of this power.

If at this time, what he plays Qinggao, how he must be, it will be more disturbing to the people.

What's more, although they are now guests, they are also the target of the Holy See's key surveillance. If he really went out, not only would he disturb the people, but also the people of the Holy See would not be able to sleep.

Moreover, Lorraine can be sure that the papal curia's group of dogs, who are secretly hostile to him, must now be digging through the ruins in the hope of finding the treasures that Leo stole from the Great Museum.

At this time, with the help of Chaves and the hotel attendants, the people seemed to settle down again, and then they went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

And in the Holy City, after those guards got the exact news of Lorraine, they let out a long breath and relieved their hearts. These uncles finally stopped tossing, and everyone finally got through this day of many disasters.

But they didn't know that they were still happy early.

The next morning, it was not yet dawn.

As usual, the cleaning staff of St. Paul's Cathedral have already gotten up to start the day's cleaning.

They had to finish it before dawn, because after dawn the devout people from all over the world would come to the cathedral to pray.

Therefore, it was important that they finish their cleaning work before the cathedral was opened.

Today's work is more urgent than ever.

Because, although yesterday's fire was just a false alarm, in reality, the cathedral did not suffer much, except that someone outside the wall lit a fire with dead leaves. But the blackened marble walls, and the pile of ash remains, all needed to be cleaned up.

Everyone yawned and quickened their movements under the urging of the captain.

In normal times, believers are only allowed to stand a few meters away to look at the sacred objects and exhibits of worship. At this time, they were quickly holding rags and other things, and they were quickly wiping them.

After all, after years, more than tens, decades, it would be difficult for them to have any respect for these cold objects.

Under the command of the captain, in a very short time, they quickly cleaned both sides of the cathedral, and then swept towards the place where the statue of the Holy Father was in the middle.

This is also the experience accumulated over the years, and it is inevitable that dust will fly up when cleaning. Only the tallest and most conspicuous things, such as the statue of the Holy Father, can be cleaned most cleanly when they are left last.

One of them, carrying a bundle of silk, came to the cloth pulpit and began to wipe the gold on it. But when he wiped it, he felt as if something was missing. I couldn't help but hesitate at the moment.

The captain next to him saw it and couldn't help but shout: "Hey, Hugo, what are you doing there?"

As soon as he wanted to scold again, he saw Hugo raise his head tremblingly, his eyes full of fear, and his face was pale like a ghost.

The captain couldn't help but be stunned, and then as if he was infected, he was also frightened, and said in a loud voice: "Hugo, what's wrong with you?"

Hugo pointed to the table, then opened his mouth and tried to speak, but now he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. All it could be a few gurgles in my throat.

The captain walked over step by step, then looked at the cloth pulpit, and carefully counted the contents on it, the sacred book of pure gold, and the plate of holy water studded with precious stones. Mithril's wax table...... It seems to be a lot of one on it, but it seems to be missing something?

But then he also understood.

True cross

The true cross is gone

The true cross, which was studded with treasures and had in the center a diamond representing the god of light, larger than a fist, called 'Eternal Light', was missing

The fragment of the cross that had been crucified to the Son and stained with His holy blood, the true cross was gone
