Shaking off his suffocating men, Locke looked at the surrounding Templars one by one, and said slowly after making sure that no one dared to make eye contact with him.

"Let me tell you, I have the secret decree of His Majesty the Pope, and no one is allowed to spread what is happening here, including the Lord of the Land Wind Palace, do you understand?"

Under Locke's deterrence, everyone did not dare to disobey, and nodded yes one after another.

But Locke naturally wouldn't believe in this group of subordinates who had sworn to follow Lu Feng for decades, so he took out a badge and showed it in front of everyone.

And the moment the badge appeared, the Templar knights present knelt down and said respectfully, "Greetings to His Majesty the Pope!" ”

”……。“

After a while, as the Templars on the top of the hill left, Xiao Qiang's figure slowly appeared from behind a large tree, and he stared at the direction in which the Templars had disappeared, his brow furrowed slightly.

Before, when the white chrysanthemum siblings were knocked off the cliff, Xiaoqiang had already escaped from the box, and using the sneak in the magic card, he quietly hid behind the big tree, and then saw a scene that surprised him.

At that time, Locke took out a badge, and as a wave of magic emerged from that special badge, an old man in white robe also appeared from it.

Although the old man didn't speak, the picture in front of him was more like a long-distance holographic projection, but just by glancing at the old man's eyes, Xiao Qiang's head seemed to be hit hard by something, and the feeling of pain and tearing made him almost exclaim.

The frightened Xiao Qiang hurriedly retracted his gaze, and he didn't dare to look directly at the scene in the following time, just listened to their conversation sporadically, but it was probably because of the magic enchantment, and the white-robed old man's voice could not come out of it.

The surprised little strong tried to peek over again, but this time he was a little disappointed, because the old man's phantom had completely disappeared, leaving only the congratulations of all the Templars present.

Xiao Qiang hid behind the tree, waited for all the Templars to leave, and only after confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he walked out from behind the tree.

"Is that old man's phantom the Pope?"

I thought back to the picture of the old man that appeared just now, but for some reason, when Xiao Qiang recalled the picture he saw just now, he couldn't remember the old man's appearance anyway, and it felt like a mosaic.

Xiao Qiang, who was extremely surprised, didn't think that he would have Alzheimer's, and he would forget the picture just now after just a few breaths, so he called out the system Xiaobai to ask the reason.

"Xiaobai, what's going on, why can't I remember the old man's appearance just now?"

Xiao Bai said, "It's not surprising that the other party used some kind of temporary amnesia magic when he appeared, which will make people actively forget some things that the caster doesn't want them to see." ”

"And such magic?" Xiaoqiang exclaimed.

Xiaobai said calmly, "There is nothing strange about the world. ”

"So, can you remind me of what the old man looked like?"

"Of course."

As Xiaobai agreed, a picture appeared in Xiaoqiang's mind, and looking at the old man in front of him, Xiaoqiang's heart was extremely shocked.

Because, just through the picture, he felt a powerful momentum from this old man's body, which only belonged to the superiors, that momentum was not exposed, but it was full of unrivaled power in his gestures, and that feeling was like a giant, as long as he moved his fingers lightly, he could make the whole world shake.

When Xiao Qiang was shocked by the old man's momentum, the old man who was thousands of miles away also sensed it, he glanced in the direction where Xiao Qiang was, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to be much stronger than I thought, but ......."

The old man didn't finish his words, and then walked into the spacious conference hall behind him, and at the same time, the conference hall was already full of high-ranking people of the Divine Cult Empire, and they immediately fell silent when they saw the Pope appear, and got up to greet them.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Pope."

The shouts in unison seemed clean and tidy, and there was not the slightest murmur even in the huge conference hall.

"Sit down, everybody."

The Pope slowly sat down on his own throne, looked around at everyone present, and said.

"This time I have summoned you here, and there is something important to announce."

Hearing this, everyone present suddenly became agitated, although it was short-lived, but everyone's eyebrows showed a look of doubt.

"Everyone knows that the Holy Maiden is already sixteen years old, and it is time to marry at this age, so I plan to hold a competition in the Holy City in half a year, and whoever can win the final victory, I will marry the Holy Maiden to the other party."

The Pope's words were like a bomb, which instantly stirred up countless waves, and the bigwigs present looked at the Pope in great surprise.

Although most people have confusion and doubts in their eyes, some people look excited and excited in their eyes, and some people have begun to rub their hands in private.

At this moment, a woman stood up, and she looked at the Pope without much fear in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, no, the Holy Maiden is only sixteen years old, is your decision a little too early?"

The Pope smiled, "I have spoken to the Holy Maiden about this, and she agrees with my decision. ”

The woman seemed very surprised and wanted to ask why, but the Pope did not want to explain too much about the matter, and simply left the chamber after announcing it.

The Pope's departure made the entire conference hall suddenly noisy, and the bigwigs sitting next to each other talked to each other about the Pope's decision.

But compared to the excitement of the others' decision, the woman who had spoken before left the conference hall and hurried to the palace where the holy woman was.

The Palace of the Holy Maiden is the second most gorgeous building in the Divine Empire after the Palace of the Pope, the decoration here is white, even the road surface is clean, there is no trace of dust, at this moment the woman walks in the aisle of the Palace of the Holy Maiden, her eyes are full of anxiety.

After a while, the woman came to a golden gate, and as soon as she stood still, the gate slowly opened under the action of an invisible force, and through the gradually expanding gap in the doorway, the woman also saw the child who was like a daughter.

Walking slowly into the hall, the crisp footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the woman reading the book, she raised her eyes like stars, and the surprise in her eyes was gradually replaced by a wave of joy.

"Sister Li, why are you here?"

A smile also appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she slowly came to the holy woman's side, glanced at the book in her hand and asked.

"What are you looking at?"
