Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

But how could Julian find the holy mirror so easily?

Julian as Cardinal.

Do you think there are some forged holy relics in the Vatican?

There must be some.

There are even several copies of Jesus' burial shroud.

Scattered in different parishes.

There is only one true shroud.

But many churches say that the one they have is the real one.

The same is true of the Holy Grail.

Logically there should only be one, but many churches have them.

Not to mention the fragments of the True Cross and the Crown of Thorns.

These things can even be mistaken for the real thing.

After all, it is not a complete cross, just some fragments.

How do you know whether it is true or false?
It is said that all the fragments of the True Cross in the church were put together.

More than 300 complete true crosses can be collected.

Among all the shrouds, the most famous one is the Shroud of Turin in the Basilica of St. John in Turin, Italy.

The shroud is a piece of linen 4.4 meters long and 1.1 meters wide.

On it you can see an image of a man with scars all over his body.

You can see the marks of whipping, nails and obvious wounds on the flank.

These are exactly the same injuries that Jesus suffered during his crucifixion as recorded in the Bible.

It is also the only sacred object that has been extensively studied.

Modern scientists have studied the shroud using a variety of imaging techniques and dating tests.

Except for this one.

There is also the Oviedo sweat towel from Spain.

Legend has it that this is the cloth that wrapped Jesus' head.

The bloodstains matched the shroud.

According to the bloodstain dating test, this is indeed a product of the 1st century.

There is also the Besançon Shroud of France.

It was considered authentic in the 16th century.

But it was destroyed during the French Revolution.

There are also Sri Lankan shrouds and so on.

These are the more famous ones.

But which one is the real one?
Or maybe they are all fake and no one can confirm it.

But this does not prevent many people from going to the church for pilgrimage and worship every year.

Julian knew that some of these holy objects were real and some were fake.

Really, it is the holy object that truly belongs to the legend.

For example, the Spear of Longinus.

The remains of some former saints.

But there are also different differences among the fake holy objects.

The most fake ones, of course, are those fabricated using random objects.

For example, taking some random fragments of thorns and claiming that they were the crown of thorns from that year.

If you are more serious, you will indeed look for thorns that are more than a thousand years old.

Used to forge the Crown of Thorns.

If you want to verify it, it is indeed something from more than a thousand years ago.

But it is not the one that was stained with Jesus' blood, so it is difficult to identify.

But there are some holy objects that cannot be said to be real or fake.

Because some people in the Vatican will imitate the real holy relics and create some fake holy relics.

Some of them have certain effects, but they are not real holy objects.

Just like some alchemical items.

You say it's not a holy object, but it has some effects.

You said so, these are fake again.

This kind of sacred object can be completely mistaken for the real thing.

But no matter which one it is, Julian cannot touch it now.

Unless he is really lucky and finds the real sacred mirror directly.

Except for some businessmen.

People in the Vatican also tried every means to contact Ye Zhen.

It's just that they care more about the mission.

Can you get God's blessing by completing the task?

This is a fatal temptation for any believer.

No one would not want such a reward.

"You said this was the mission sent by the angel."

"What is the intention?" "Let us find the relic mirror?"

"Or does he want us to hand over various holy objects to him?"

Normally, angels are servants of God who reside in heaven like this.

What good things haven’t you seen?

Even if it is the real True Cross, it is nothing to the angels.

These holy objects are only useful to mortals like them.

For an angel, it probably means nothing.

When people in the Vatican learned that these businessmen wanted to use all kinds of gold and silver things to gain the recognition of angels.

They couldn't help but laugh.

"These businessmen are really greedy for money."

"Do you think you can impress angels with something as mundane as gold?"

"Angels live in heaven. What don't they have there?"

"The ground is covered with gold, agate and precious stones."

"To angels, these are just like ordinary stones."

This is the view of some clergy.

After all, if it really is an angel from heaven.

I don't care about these things at all.

So they believe that the relic mirror must have special significance.

"Could this be a test from the angels?"

"No, no, no, I think there must be some deeper meaning in it."

"Oh, it would be great if I could complete this one task."

Time began to pass day by day.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

In this passing month.

It can be said that the border town has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It had only been two months since the miracle happened.

The town is no longer the same as it used to be.

The town is no longer as backward as it used to be.

Instead, all kinds of new buildings are springing up.

Some of the simple houses in the past have been demolished and rebuilt.

Some new buildings are still under construction.

There are also more vendors on the streets.

It seems to be slowly developing into a larger town.

Except for the residential area in the center of the town.

Outside the existing residential areas, many workers can be seen working on the construction site.

Various new houses also began to be built.

Because the original location of the town has been occupied by various people who came earlier.

Even if you want to stay in the town, there is no way.

If it's just the beginning.

Some people can indeed lie and sit all over the streets.

This way no one will care about you.

But not now.

As time passed, the town was slowly taken over by the Vatican.

After all, only the Holy See has the power to swallow up such a miraculous place.

So the town's central square is the place.

No one is allowed to lie down or stay here at will.

A curfew was also imposed.

And the hole in the center of the square was created by Ye Zhen’s fall.

It was also surrounded and admired by everyone as a miracle.

It is called the Angel's Pit.

This is because the Holy See knows that it is located in the center of the town.

The closer you are to here, the better the effect will be.

The further away from the town center you are, the weaker the effect of the angel's blessing will be.

It just happens to spread outward with the Angel's Pit as the center.

So now the closer the house is to the center of the town square, the more expensive it is.

Some businessmen with business acumen had already bought land here early on.

The hotel was built directly.

Now a house here may not be able to be bought even with tens of thousands of gold coins.

The first batch of merchants have made a lot of money. (End of this chapter)
