Holy City.

A cardinal's retreat.

Amos, one of the Twelve Cardinals of Christ, was kneeling on a soft bed, with a black leather Bible on the table in front of him, and he was softly reciting the contents of the covenant.

"Shh..."

Suddenly, a skylight came down from the roof, and an angel with blond hair parted in the middle and two huge wings faintly appeared in the skylight, alarming the cardinal who was chanting.

"Archangel!!!"

After seeing the other person's face clearly, the cardinal stood up from the slump in fright.

In today's heaven, there is only one angel who can be called the archangel, and that is Seraph—Gabriel.

"Amos." As time went by, Gabriel became clearer, with fair skin and a graceful figure, revealing the image of a female angel.

"I'm here." Amos bowed deeply, his face full of reverence: "Is the archangel here to pick me up to heaven?"

Gabriel shook his head slightly, and said in a concentrated voice, "Amos, do you know about the Lord's summoning of the Pope?"

"Yes, I know."

Amos said: "According to His Majesty the Pope, the Lord has poured divine power into the Holy Grail, waiting for a man named Yao to take it."

Gabriel: "Do you know who this Yao is?"

Amos was slightly taken aback, then shook his head: "I don't know, the Lord only summoned the Pope."

Gabriel's palm-sized face was full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice, "I can tell you responsibly, this Yao is a heretic."

"pagan?"

Amos widened his eyes, his face full of shock: "How could the Lord bestow divine power on a pagan?"

Although the influence of the Holy See is getting weaker and weaker, the Holy See personnel have never given up their pride, and it can even be said to be proud.

For heretics, they have a heartfelt rejection, and the Inquisition is branded in the hearts of many people like a steel seal.

Gabriel nodded, and said solemnly: "I have the same doubts as you, and I even suspect that this is a trick of the devil."

Amos was puzzled: "How did the devil deceive God?"

Gabriel said: "God is not omnipotent, otherwise there would be no demons in this world. Amos, you have to take on the responsibility of being a cardinal."

After all, she no longer gave the other party a chance to ask questions, and the light-like body disappeared into the retreat room together with the holy light.

"The duty of a cardinal..." Amos muttered to himself, and as if realizing something, he got up and walked out of the room.

15:35pm.

The sun is shining and the sky is clear.

Qin Yao and Dai Xiaole came to the main church together by car. After getting off the car, the latter deliberately slowed down by half a step, thus highlighting the former's dominant identity.

In fact, this half step made him lose his timidity and lost his fearlessness in front of the church.

"Please stop."

Two guards wearing silver helmets and silver armor stood in front of them, and one of them asked in English, "What do you want?"

Qin Yao looked sideways at the guard who was speaking, and said in a concentrated voice, "My name is Yao, and I have an agreement with God."

guard:"?"

"Please inform your Pope, he must know about this matter." Qin Yao said: "If there is no such matter, I am willing to pay the due price for my words and deeds."

The last sentence successfully moved the guard, who nodded slightly, turned around and said, "Wait a moment, I will go to ask His Majesty the Pope for instruction."

At the same time, inside the temple.

The Pope was dressed in gold and white, and sat at the head of the long table with a straight posture. He glanced at the twelve cardinals on both sides of the long table, and said slowly: "Bishop Amos, please tell me the reason why you applied for the red conference. .”

Amos, who was named, stood up from his chair and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, and colleagues, I would like to talk to you about the power of the Holy Grail."

The Pope with silver hair and blue eyes frowned slightly, and asked in a concentrated voice, "What's your opinion?"

Amos bowed slightly: "Dare to ask, Your Majesty, are the people who come to accept the inheritance of divine power a believer of the Lord?"

The Pope said indifferently: "The Holy Grail belongs to the Lord, and so does the divine power. It is the Lord's order to give it to Yao. I don't understand what is there to question. Amos, are you questioning the Lord, or are you question me?"

If he hadn't met Archangel Gabriel in person and received her instruction, Amos would never have applied for the Red Clothes Conference and raised this question.

But at this moment, he has an archangel backing him up, and he is not afraid of the Pope's authority at all: "I dare not question the Lord, and I dare not question you. What I question is that Yao. The divine power of the Holy Grail is a gift from the Lord. If a pagan can get the blessing of divine power, why can't our regular believers get it?"

The Pope whispered, "You worry too much."

Amos said with firm eyes: "This is my duty, I must be worthy of the red dress on my body."

Pope: "..."

If it weren't for this being the Holy City, a place where demons could never invade, he would have suspected that Amos was possessed by demons.

How dare this guy say these words?

Amos knew that he could not control the pope's will, so he turned his head and looked at the other cardinals: "Everyone, I am not saying that I will firmly obstruct this matter, but I think we need to conduct a test on that name Yao. After all We don't know who he is, what his origin is, and what he experienced on the way here..."

"Dong dong dong." At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room.

A recording officer trotted over at the Pope's signal and opened the door.

"Your Majesty, a man named Yao came outside the main church, saying that he has an appointment with the Lord." The guard bowed and said.

"It came so fast." The pope said subconsciously.

Amos moved in his heart, and asked the guard, "What kind of person is he?"

"Asian, looks a bit like Chinese or Korean." The guard said.

Amos raised his mouth slightly: "I see."

The Pope glanced at him with probing eyes, and then said: "Take people to St. Peter's Basilica first, and I will take people there after the meeting is over."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard said reverently and respectfully.

After he left, Amos quickly became serious, and said solemnly: "This Yao is not only a pagan, but also Asian. Do you understand my worries now?"

The bishops looked at each other and communicated with each other.

"I agree to test it." After a while, a cardinal got up and said.

"I agree too."

"Me too."

In a blink of an eye, seven cardinals stood up at the long table, agreeing to Amos' proposal.

It's like the patriarch in the Eastern sect bestowed an elixir and gave it to the suzerain to keep it for fate. As a result, the suzerain and the elders waited for a long time and found out that the person who came was a foreign devil...

The cardinals have never heard the saying that people who are not of our race must have different hearts, but they must understand this truth.

Looking at this famous cardinal, the Pope narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had forgotten that he had the right to enforce this matter, and said indifferently: "The minority obeys the majority. Since most people think it is necessary to test it, then Let's discuss the content of the assessment..."

St. Peter's Basilica.

Guest lounge area.

Dai Xiaole stood on the red carpet, glanced at the famous paintings hanging on the wall, and said with emotion: "Majestic, rich and noble."

Qin Yao sat on the seat in a comfortable posture, crossed his legs, and stared at the entrance of the cathedral: "We have been waiting for 31 minutes. What do you think the Pope is doing now?"

Dai Xiaole: "Should he be dealing with official business? After all, he is equivalent to the king of this country, and it is normal to be entangled in various affairs."

Qin Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's not normal. I am God's guest and he is God's servant. Under normal circumstances, unless he is staying with God, he should have nothing more important than me. It's the right thing."

Dai Xiaole: "..."

After careful consideration, there is nothing wrong with this conclusion.

"What do you think he is doing right now?" Not long after, Dai Xiaole asked.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Is it possible that they are plotting against us?"

Dai Xiaole was silent.

Didn't you say that you will leave after taking the divine power?

How do you feel that this pool of water is also very deep?
In the evening, in the blink of an eye, the Pope, holding a scepter in his hand, wearing a platinum two-color tiara, and a platinum robe, led twelve cardinals into the cathedral. The 13 people walked out with an inexplicable force, which instantly attracted people. The eyes of two people in the rest area.

Dai Xiaole, who was sitting on the carved wooden chair, secretly glanced at Qin Yao, seeing that he had no intention of getting up to greet him, so he also sat there firmly.

"The Pope is here, how can you sit still?"

When the 13 people came to the rest area, they saw the two of them still sitting here, and their expressions changed. Amos, who was following behind the Pope, stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Qin Yao raised his head slightly, frowned and said, "Are you a dog? You can bark like that."

In any case, Amos never expected that the other party would be so bold. In this holy cathedral, he would insult a cardinal in front of the Pope, so he was stunned for a while.

"presumptuous!"

He was stunned, but someone was not. Another cardinal immediately scolded: "Who gave you the guts to humiliate a cardinal here?"

Qin Yao said quietly: "Is this how your Holy See treats guests?"

"Okay, Nemo." The Pope said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The cardinal who scolded Qin Yao said respectfully.

After waiting for half an afternoon, it was this scene that came. Qin Yao was already very impatient, and said blankly, "Where is the Holy Grail? I'll leave after I get the power, lest we both get bored."

The Pope didn't want to line up with him, so he turned his head and glanced at Amos.

Amos understood the meaning of the glance and responded, "The Holy Grail is in the chapel, but there is a problem."

Qin Yao said coldly, "What's the problem?"

"Only devout believers who have joined the religion can enter the chapel." Amos said expressionlessly: "Even if it is difficult to tell whether it is devout or not, it must be a registered believer at least."

Qin Yao sneered, turned to Dai Xiaole and said, "Dean Dai, let's go."

Amos: "?"

No, you're leaving now?
The Pope discussed with their twelve cardinals for more than an hour, and finally decided on three tests. Enrollment was just a temptation for him, not even a test, but the other party flinched when they heard the temptation?

Amos froze, but the Pope did not.

Almost instinctively, he had a premonition that something was wrong, and subconsciously asked: "Don't you want the divine power in the Holy Grail?"

However, he was so used to being aloof, he couldn't even notice that the arrogance of His Majesty the Pope was present in all this persuasion.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "All of you got one thing wrong."

"What is it?" asked the pope.

Qin Yao waved his back to them, led Dai Xiaole to leave together, and said loudly, "Ask God."

"Rude, barbaric, arrogant." Amos's eyes flashed fiercely, and he suddenly turned to look at the Pope: "Your Majesty, I suggest..."

"you shut up."

The Pope suddenly interrupted him, and shouted at Qin Yao who was about to walk out of the long palace: "Yao, don't be arrogant, I will take you to the chapel."

But Qin Yao led Dai Xiaole out of the church without hesitation as if he didn't hear it.

"Do I need someone to stop them?" A cardinal asked softly.

The Pope shook his head and turned to look at Amos: "Bishop Amos, when the Lord asks about this matter, I will let you explain the whole story."

Amos: "..."

Only now did he realize the danger.

Regardless of whether he received Gabriel's hint or not, he was the one who disrupted the Lord's arrangement.

After the investigation, Gabriel did not ask him to do so, but only asked him to fulfill the responsibility of the cardinal...

Thinking of this, Amos sat on the wax instantly, his face turned blue and red, and his expression was complicated.

At this moment, he has the same thoughts as Dai Xiaole, this pool of water is too deep...

"Qin Taoist priest, where are we going now?" Dai Xiaole said excitedly after walking out of the Holy See with Qin Yao.

When he traveled to the West, he was called a heretic by countless people.Now watching Qin Yao not bird the Holy See up close, the strong sense of substitution and excitement makes him a little excited.

People have a strong desire to break through certain taboos. In his heart, the Holy See is like a tower of taboos like a mountain, and now a crack has been pierced.

It's really cool, it's really happy, just watching this scene feels like a worthwhile trip.

Qin Yao looked up at the bloody setting sun in front of him, and said with a smile, "City of Angels—Los Angeles!"

That night……

The Pope sat in the chapel with twelve cardinals, facing the statue of the Holy Father, and silently recited scriptures from the Bible.

At a certain moment, the light of the white candles in the room jumped suddenly, and the light in the hall became even brighter, as if it was welcoming the arrival of some existence.

On the statue of the Holy Father, the two eyes gradually lit up with golden light, and then the voice of Jehovah came from inside the statue: "Olo, why is my divine power still in the Holy Grail?" (End of this chapter)
