From Heberys to the south, past Stuart, the largest nation of mankind, and then continue south, there is a vast plain on which rises the only city in the perimeter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The most striking feature of this white-stone city is the huge white tower in the center, surrounded by other buildings like stars and moons, forming a spiral that reaches to the sky.

The city is of extraordinary significance to the entire Human Alliance, not only because it does not belong to any country and has absolute autonomy, but also because it is the core of the Holy See.

The city of the White Tower - Sendoria.

This city that gathers everything in the Holy See is the core of religion in the true sense of the word, including the Pope, the cardinals and most of the powerful bishops live in this white city, plus the white tower that towers in the center of the city, or the spiral tower is the highest church of the Holy See, the Basilica of the Holy Book.

The top of the Basilica of the Spiral Tower is a place of prayer on weekdays, and it is also a sacred place for the faithful to keep the original of the Holy See's holy book "Radiant Holy Book" and the staff and sword that symbolize the glory and faith of the Holy See.

Sunlight shines through the stained glass that fills the dome and spreads on the white jade floor.

The fifteenth Pope, Apollon Sinapus, held a holy book that had been passed down for centuries in his hand, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

God teaches us to be loving, to be fair, to be forgiving, to be humble, to be diligent, to be faithful, and to be courageous. ”

The Pope, who was in the prime of life, stroked the ancient pages and exhaled like a sigh.

How noble and ...... are these teachings. Ignorance. ”

It wasn't a word that should be used to describe the gods, but the believer at the apex of the Holy See still counted it in an affirmative tone.

With the Pope's words, the door to the prayer hall was pushed open from the outside, and a man older than Pope Sinapus entered.

The old man walked with a straight and straight step, and if it weren't for the white beard and the bare top of his head, he would even be considered a young man.

The old man's name is Abraham Morgan, Cardinal of the Holy See, a great man in charge of propaganda and education and things of theology and séance, and whose influence and fame are even comparable to that of Pope Apollon Sinapus.

"It's a bit out of your character to say that, Your Majesty the Pope. ”

Abraham strolled behind the Pope and folded his hands reverently.

The word of God, whose teaching is to edify the world and fill the world with light, cannot be described in such an offensive word as foolishness. ”

The Pope didn't look back, or he hadn't moved since Abraham had entered the prayer hall, but now, the words of his old friend had curled the corners of his mouth.

"It is not God who is stupid, but man. ”

Again, the Pope touched the holy book with his fingers and read it word by word.

God teaches us to be loving, to be fair, to be forgiving, to be humble, to be diligent, to be faithful, and to be courageous. ”

This time, the tenderness on his face turned into a mockery.

That's a good saying, but it's not God's words, it's man's words. ”

Closing the book, Sinapus casually put the holy book, which symbolized the supreme glory of the Holy See, back on the altar where it had been, looked at everything that seemed beautiful and solemn in front of him, and said with a mockery.

"Human beings use their own views and values of good and evil to create nothing more foolish and ridiculous than the God they want, and if I were God, I would have thrown these damned fools into the most terrible abyss first. ”

As he spoke, Sinapus rubbed his hand on his temples and laughed, and when he had finished laughing, he turned to look at Abraham who was standing behind him.

"It's been a while, but you're getting tougher than ever, my old friend. ”

After a brief scrutiny, Sinaps said with a smile.

"Can you, then, tell me, why you, as the Cardinal, entered this room without my orders?"

Still smiling, but this time, Sinapus's eyes shone sharply.

The most important room of the Basilica of the Spiral Tower, which was forbidden to anyone without a papal decree, except for the weekly prayers, was now asymptomatic without his own knowledge, and as long as Sinapus was not sick in his head, he could imagine what was going on.

Abraham shrugged his shoulders in the face of the Pope's questioning.

"It's not a big deal, but after discussion with the other cardinals, we agreed that you are no longer capable of continuing to guide us to the light of God, so we have decided to let you retreat for a while. ”

Sinaps pouted.

"You don't call it a discussion, but a conspiracy to seize power, don't you think?"

Since Abraham had a direct showdown with himself, the situation must have reached a point where it was very unfavorable to him, first of all, the cardinal and most of the bishops may be involved in this seizure of power, then it is certain that the Knights of the Oracle, which is the main fighting power of the Church, is no longer reliable, and the rest are all clerks who have little combat power, except for the choir and the Inquisition.

When you think about it, it's terrible.

"I actually like to meditate, but unlike an old man like you, I'm still young, or at least I feel like I'm young, even if I work for a while. ”

Sinapus reached out and took a staff from the altar next to the holy book, a real artifact unlike the holy book that was only symbolic.

As the Pope, it is not just faith to sit in the position, but a strong force to stabilize the position is also indispensable, and this power is the staff in the hands of Sinapus.

An artifact in the possession of the Holy See, the Staff of Analysis.

This crystal-like wand, naturally generated to absorb light and use it for its own use, may not sound very powerful, but its power when it is collected and concentrated can be costly to all who despise it.

Holding the Staff of Analysis, Sinapus didn't talk much nonsense, and directly aimed the round crystal at the top of the staff at Abraham.

"Show your might, Radiance. ”

Pure white light radiated from the head of the staff, and the light concentrated to a point was not as dazzling as the sun, but it was countless times deadlier than the sun.

The scattered beams destroyed the dome and walls of the church almost instantly, and the loud explosions were followed by one exclamation after another, and people did not know why the sacred city was suddenly attacked, and they could only flee in panic. How sacred the city is to them, the panic caused by the attack will increase in the same proportion.
