The Sanctuary may be small, but it is a world-famous city that never sleeps.

No matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, this is a pure land without darkness.

When the sun fades, the soft light will replace the night at the first time, and the white light shines on every corner of the sanctuary, and the churches and palaces in the sanctuary are even more brilliant in the light.

The Pope was still sitting in the study of the Holy Palace, quietly flipping through the register of heretics in his hand.

The roster has been much thinner, but the content is still rich and colorful, and not all the names and information recorded in the roster are martial arts masters in the dark world, and there are some wealthy patriarchs and core members in their respective fields, politicians, terrorists, important figures of other religions, and even ordinary people.

In the eyes of the Holy See, the size of heresy is never distinguished by force, and from the standpoint of faith, it is possible to become a heresy if it is as small as a public statement or as large as a certain practice that is generalized to a certain extent.

Heretics will be on the register of heretics.

Heresies on the roster must be purified!

The Pope quietly flipped through the roster, the lights in the room falling on him, his figure mysterious and majestic.

The register of heretics has turned to the last page.

On the cover of the last page is a row of ancient quotes written in Latin.

It's like expounding the cruelest truth.

"Whoever turns away from the glory of the Lord is a heretic. ”

The Pope stared deeply at the words, his eyes pure and reverent.

Someone crossed the path of the Holy Palace, approached the study in the deepest part of the Holy Palace, and walked silently.

The door to the study was open.

The lights inside and outside the study are staggered in front of the door.

A figure stood silently at the door, looking at the Pope in the study.

The light in the study seemed to be eternal, the ancient statue of the cross stood silently, and the old man sat in front of the stone statue, staring down at the book in his hand, motionless.

The picture in sight is incomparably real, with an almost frozen solemnity and silence.

The figure at the door hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to go in or not.

This is a mysterious woman who can bring endless reverie to anyone, mysterious, and sacred.

She is undoubtedly extremely beautiful, but this beauty is not stunning, but an obsession that people can't help but want to get closer, her figure is tall and slender, the loose white robe envelops her figure, her face is enough to fall into the city is covered by a hazy light veil, in the staggered light and shadow, only a pair of dark blue eyes and long golden hair are exposed, but with a mesmerizing charm.

This charm is so mysterious and holy, it is pure beauty, it does not need to be seen by people, just a pair of eyes, with enough magic to make people sink into it.

She stood in front of the door, like the bright moon in the sky obscured by the light, bright and soft.

The Pope still sat there, staring down at the roster in his hand.

He didn't make the slightest move, but there was a sudden sound of pages turning in the study.

There was only the Pope in the empty study.

But at this time, it seems that there are countless people turning the pages inside, fast or slow, light or heavy, and the sound of the paper turning is slight and messy, making people dizzy.

"You found me. ”

The woman covered in a white robe and a light veil spoke softly.

Her voice was elegant and pleasant, with a very intimate affinity.

"It's you who didn't find me. ”

The lights in the study seemed to flicker silently.

The study is still the study.

The Pope is still sitting there.

But another pope suddenly appeared in front of the bookshelf in the study, he lowered his head and gently flipped through a heavy Bible in his hand.

"Angel, your heart is in turmoil, can you tell me why?"

The Pope looked down at the Bible and spoke softly.

Angel.

In the sanctuary of Europe, there is only one Angel, she has no surname, and in the hearts of more than a billion members of the Holy See, she is bathed in the light of the gods, and she is a child of God.

Contemporary saints of the Holy See.

St. Angel.

In the Holy See, her status can be said to be second only to the Pope, and even above the cardinals.

"Nope. ”

Angel Saint shook her head, her tone was a little sad: "I just thought of the chaos in Eastern Europe, so many innocent people..."

"I am praying for the people of Eastern Europe. ”

The lights are slightly distorted.

The pope in the chair was still staring down.

The Pope in front of the bookshelf is still flipping through the books.

In front of the idol, suddenly another pope appeared.

He knelt in front of the idol and drew a cross, and his tone was distant and deep: "Where heretics and heretics gather, there will always be darkness and blood. God says, "I allow darkness to exist." But darkness can never rise above light. ”

The Pope stood up, he looked at the Holy Maiden Angel, and said meaningfully: "Who will cherish the light if they have not experienced the darkness?"

The saint was silent.

After a long time, she walked into the study and said softly, "I will remember your teachings." ”

In the study, the three popes in different postures still maintain their movements, staring, reading, contemplating, lifelike, difficult to distinguish between the real and the false.

"What is heresy?"

The Pope pondered for a moment before he suddenly asked softly.

Angel was stunned for a moment, and replied almost instinctively, "Those who turn their backs on the glory of the Lord are heretics. ”

There are those who shout the name of the Lord but choose a different direction than the Lord. They will go to hell, and their end will be according to their deeds. ”

The Pope's voice was still gentle and benevolent, but his figure was incomparably indifferent in front of the statue.

"All should be judged. ”

Angel bowed slightly and said calmly: "All should be judged." ”

"Let's go to Eastern Europe. ”

The Pope said, "Angel, bring your Divine Punishment Sacrifice." Cooperate with the priests of Aresis to purify the darkness and spread the Lord's light to all corners of Eastern Europe. Heresy needs to be judged, and so should the hypocrites who have bent the brightness of the Lord. ”

"It's my duty. ”

Angel said softly.

The structure of the interior of the Holy See is simple and clear.

The bishopric that often appears before the world, headed by the cardinal archbishop, the presiding bishop, the diocesan bishop, the archbishop, the bishop, and the priest are all members of the bishopric, responsible for the daily operation of the Holy See, the strengthening of the faith of the faithful, the listening to the prayers of the faithful, and the solution of doubts.

The second is the Holy See's armed forces, the Holy Disarmament Regiment, headed by the Holy War Angel, the third in the world god list, headed by Aresis, whose main duty is to maintain the majesty and glory of the Holy See, to judge heresy, and the main duty is to fight, which is an elite force selected from more than one billion believers around the world, and it is also a fanatic in the Holy See, most of them will not be stationed in the Holy Domain, but scattered all over the world, where there is a cross, there is a Holy Disarmament Mission.

Then there is the most mysterious of the divine punishment sacrificial groups and the arbitration council.

The Divine Punishment Rite is directly under the leadership of the Holy Maiden, and is responsible for spreading the splendor of the Holy See, guiding the faith, the penal and the redeeming.

The Arbitration Council is an intelligence and assassination agency, and in the decisive battle of Tiandu more than three years ago, after the Holy See's killing angel Ardak died in the hands of Li Tianlan, the Arbitration Council has always been managed by the Holy Maiden.

And the Pope controls everything in the Holy See.

To put it simply, the Holy Order is in charge of fighting, and the Divine Punishment Sacrifice is in charge of brainwashing.

Spreading the light of the Lord to every corner of Eastern Europe is the duty of the Virgin Angel, and it is the most important duty.

"Don't let me down, Angel. ”

The Pope whispered: "The dioceses of Eastern Europe are very important, and I am tired of the arguments that have lasted for years. Those pagans did not understand the brilliance of the Lord at all, they desecrated the cross, and they should go to hell with the heretics of Eastern Europe. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Angel's voice was soft and pleasant, but he remembered Eastern Europe in his mind.

Religion in Eastern Europe is not complicated.

Even in the eyes of many people outside religions, the religions of Eastern Europe are nothing more than branches of the Holy See.

Many people without faith call the Holy See in the Holy Domain Catholic Religion, and the religion of Eastern Europe Eastern Religion is called Eastern Religion, and the head of Catholic Church is the Pope, the only spokesman of the gods in the world, and the largest religion in the world today.

And the head of the Eastern Church is the Patriarch.

Looking at Europe from the footsteps of religious belief, the most important or even the only difference between Eastern Europe and Western Europe is that Eastern Europeans believe in Eastern Christianity, while Western Europe believes in Catholicism, this statement may not be absolute, but most of them are extremely correct.

Eastern Europe is now turbulent, more than a dozen countries are in chaos, each with its own ghosts, the major forces in the dark world are ready to move, under the storm, the Eastern Religion is bound to be in it, in that chaos, if the Eastern Religion is destroyed, the Catholic Church will sweep Eastern Europe in the fastest time.

Once the diocese of Eastern Europe is established, the power of the Holy See will expand again, and it will even try to re-establish the Diocese of Great East Asia, which they had planned to establish on the East Island more than three years ago.

The establishment of each diocese represents the expansion of the glory of the Lord, as well as the infinite interests and power.

Eastern Europe is chaotic.

But the Holy See is very fond of Eastern Europe now.

So they're going to be even more messy next.

There are countless factors of instability, competing interests, entanglement of grievances, clashes of faith, political differences...

There will be wars there, the most complicated ones.

Angel didn't know how long the Pope had been staring at Eastern Europe, but he was sure that the super power that chose to cooperate with the Holy See this time must have more than one reincarnation palace.

Therefore, the chaos in Eastern Europe may end up with an unexpected outcome.

Angel's heart was a little chaotic, but the whole person laughed like a flower.

She walked over to the Pope, who was sitting in a chair and stared down, and took the register of heretics from his hand.

She stared down at the roster that had reached the end, looking at the summary.

Whoever turns his back on the glory of God is a heretic.

The pages of the roster, immediately next to the last page, are not blank.

There is also a name there, in both Chinese and English formats.

In the Pope's mind, it was also a heretic, but there was very little information.

Angel saw a strange name that was a bit awkward.

The same is true of the East Side.

Angel blinked and glanced at the lifelike pope sitting in his chair.

The three popes are doing different things.

She didn't know which was true and which was false.

She also didn't know if what the Pope was just staring at was the summary at the end of the page, or if it was Dongcheng.

Angel thought quietly.

She's a good thinker, so she seems to be very focused.

The lights in the study flickered.

Angel's shadow is printed on the wall, very slender.

"I hate shadows. ”

The pope suddenly said, "Because it was darkness." Darkness is sin. ”

His voice was calm and determined.

Angel's eyes quietly changed.

She looked up at the Pope, "But the shadow will always be there, won't it?"

"Of course not. ”

The Pope smiled.

He moved his body.

The light fell on him, and there was no shadow under his feet.

Angel's shadow on the wall also began to fade away.

All that was left in the study was the light.

"That's a lot better, isn't it?"

The Pope smiled.

"It's deception. ”

Angel looked at the Pope.

Everyone knows that the Pope doesn't understand martial arts, but few people know that in the spiritual realm, the Pope is the absolute grandmaster, as a god in the hearts of more than a billion believers, the Pope can't find an opponent in the spiritual realm at all, which means that his will is absolutely strong, and it also means that he is the most terrifying hypnotist in the world, and he can't find an opponent at all.

The Holy Palace, the Holy Church, and even the entire Sanctuary can be considered the home of the Pope.

The Pope didn't want Angel to see her own shadow, so Angel couldn't see it.

Just like the three popes in front of you.

The Holy Maiden, who is also a master of the spiritual realm, can't tell the truth from the fake at all.

"Nope. ”

The Pope whispered: "This is faith. Only light is the most sacred substance, darkness is not, and neither is shadow. ”

"But the shadow actually exists. ”

Angel had a rare insistence.

"It does exist. ”

The Pope looked at Angel thoughtfully: "I allow the shadow to exist in the light of the Lord, although I don't want to see it." But the shadow that the light of the Lord does not shine on is depraved and should be purified. ”

Angel's face suddenly turned a little pale.

"The arbitration committee has one less suitable candidate. ”

The Pope said suddenly.

Angel's delicate body trembled slightly, lowered her head, and was more respectful than ever: "I know what to do." ”

Suddenly an ancient bell rang in the Holy Palace.

The sound of the bell is mellow and strong, and it spreads throughout the Sanctuary.

The light in the sanctuary grew brighter and brighter.

A tall figure in the armor of a guard walked into the study.

"The time for coronation has come. ”

The Pope said, "Angel, it's time for you to go back and prepare." ”

"Your Majesty, I accept your coronation, but I remain against collaboration with heretics. ”

The guard walked in and took off his helmet, revealing a face that was famous in the dark world.

The third place in the list of gods in the world, the angel of holy war in the Holy See, St. Aresis.

"I allow the darkness to come close. Because we are servants of the Lord, when heresy is redeemed, the darkness will be completely dissipated. Aresis, you see, all sin is a polluted and distorted glory. ”

In the study, three lifelike figures of the Pope began to disappear.

The Pope, armed with a scepter, stepped down from the study on the second floor.

He was dressed in a white robe, but the scepter in his hand was as red as blood.

Aresis's eyes flashed as he looked at the scarlet scepter in the Pope's hand.

That's an obsession with absolute power.

"Be humble before the idols. ”

The Pope said.

Aresis knelt down, respectfully.

He saw the scarlet scepter in the Pope's hand and understood the content of this coronation.

Coronation: Spear of Divine Punishment.

There's a rumor in the world of darkness.

The Pope will always have the bravest and most fearless warriors around him, even if there are only ordinary people around him.

There is nothing wrong with such rumors.

And the secret of this is coronation.

In the realm of the will rain spirit, the Pope is a well-deserved absolute guru.

The so-called coronation is the craziest will to fight that the Pope imposes on the warriors.

It is a state of consciousness that is similar to hypnosis, and it can maximize the full potential of a person.

Aresis was the second on the list of gods before, and now he is third on the list of gods.

And the spear of divine punishment is the fiercest will to fight among all the coronations.

Aresis, who was crowned with the Spear of Divine Punishment, is the real Aresis, and he deserves the title of second on the god list.

Angel watched it all quietly.

But the study in the line of sight gradually became blurred.

Angel looked up a little dazed.

Only then did I realize that before I knew it, I was already standing at the door of the study.

The sound of the pages turning is still ringing.

In the study, the Pope sat in a chair, staring at the book in his hand.

A soft, quiet voice rang out.

It's like a repetition of the previous one.

"Angel, your heart is in turmoil, can you tell me why?"

The lights are still on.

The Pope did not look up.

There was no Areis before the idol either.

Everything was so peaceful and calm.

An indescribable coldness and fear emerged from Angel's heart, instantly taking over all of her consciousness.

She didn't know if she had just walked into the study.

I don't know if what I just saw is true.

She also didn't know if what she was seeing now was true.

I don't know if Aresis is in the study right now.

But she couldn't see it.

The Pope will always only let others see what he wants others to see.

Angel's heart was filled with fear.

She shook her head in a panic, saluted, and quickly left the study.

The Pope's figure was still sitting in his chair, staring at the roster in his hand, and a smile appeared on his lips in the light.

There was no shadow in front of him.

......

Angel walked out of the palace quickly.

Her heart was beating wildly.

Leaving the study in the depths of the Holy Palace, instead of being relaxed, her heart became more and more frightened.

Because memories are dissipating.

Everything in the study that she didn't know whether it was true or false just now began to disappear in her mind little by little.

She didn't want to forget, but she couldn't control her thoughts.

Eventually, all that remained in her mind were the Pope's few words.

She remembered that the Pope had asked her to lead the priests of divine punishment to Eastern Europe to assist Aresis.

As for the rest...

She doesn't remember.

She wasn't even sure if she had said something in her study that she wanted to say but had never dared to say, and she wasn't sure if the Pope knew the secret of her heart.

The gates of the Holy Palace are already behind you.

The guards on the street saw the saint and saluted respectfully.

Angel walked through the streets with the utmost grace and entered the Holy Church opposite the Palazzo Sanctuary.

A thin figure in the armor of a guard stood in the darkness of the church, facing the idol, not bowing down, not praying, as if waiting.

Footsteps were heard.

The guard turned his head and chuckled, "Beautiful saint, you are finally here. I knew you were going to be here after seeing that old guy, it's your habit. ”

The guard took off his helmet, revealing his face.

His smile was eager, but unpretentious.

Angel was distraught.

The guard was right, every time she saw the Pope, she would have a kind of fear from the bottom of her heart, so she would be the first to appear here to pray to remove all the negative emotions in her heart.

But at this time, she didn't expect that there would be someone waiting for him in the holy church.

She didn't even expect that the person waiting for her would be the person who shouldn't have been here at this time.

"Merled?"

Angel's blue pupils gradually appeared cold.

Her tone was a little low: "You should be praying now, and you should be ready to be crowned by His Majesty the Pope!"

It wasn't just Aresis who had the honor of being crowned.

Merled, who is the undersecretary of the Holy Disarmament Corps, is also counted as one.

He broke through to the invincible realm a year ago, and the news has not been made public so far, and this time he accepts the coronation of the Pope, and his combat power will soar to another level.

Merred looked at Angel.

His smile was still full of hypocrisy.

"Are you sure what you're seeing now is real?"

Merred smiled playfully and said, "Do you remember how you left the Holy Palace, and where are you now?"

Angel shuddered violently.

But she then calmed down.

She remembered how she had left the Holy Palace.

I also remember that I was now in the Holy Church.

There is no deviation in memory, so everything in front of you is real.

"Presumptuous!"

Angel said coldly.

"You're too easily excited. ”

Merred said softly, "As the noblest saint, you should be quiet and patient in any situation. ”

His eyes gradually became naked and hot, as if he wanted to tear Angel's clothes and veil with his eyes.

"Before being crowned by His Holiness the Pope, you should pray sincerely. You have violated the will of His Holiness the Pope, and this is blasphemy. ”

Angel said coldly.

"So Her Highness is going to pronounce me a heretic next?"

Merred chuckled.

Angel subconsciously took a step back and said in a condensed voice, "Who are you?"

"I'm Merled. ”

Merred chuckled softly, "Now the words... Just a normal squire who wants to make a deal with you. ”

"You deserve to trade with me?"

Angel sneered: "I am the Holy Lady of the Holy See!"

"If you're going to Eastern Europe, then I'm qualified to trade with you. ”

Merred said unhurriedly: "For example, I can keep a shadow for you, ah, look at me, I have forgotten, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, you don't even have a surname." It's pathetic, I think there is a surname in the old East that suits you better, do you think... Situ... How about this surname?"

Merred's smile was a little weird, but his eyes were extremely serious.

Angel's body stiffened suddenly.

She stared at the deputy head of the Holy Disarmament Corps in front of her, her quiet blue eyes almost erupting with fire.

"What do you want?!"

Angel said coldly, a trace of murderous intent appeared in her eyes, but the whole person was still holy and mysterious.

"I want a lot. ”

Merred smiled, "First of all, I need you to accompany me to meet a distinguished guest from afar. ”

"Why should I go?"

Angel forced himself to calm down.

"Because your status is noble enough. ”

Merred said seriously, "If you weren't there, I might have died, but I don't want to die." ”

...
