At this time, Elena looked around carefully and said quickly.

"What's wrong?"

At this time, I walked up to Elena, who looked a little strange, and asked quickly.

"Hmm... Logically speaking, a human cathedral should be closed during curfew, but it's only around four o'clock and the doors are already locked from the inside. This doesn't make sense."

At this time, Elena told me her doubts directly.

"That's what you said..."

In fact, even if there is no curfew at night, the door of the church is still closed. This is also the custom of human churches in this world.

Because, only when there is light can there be God, and only with God can you give you hope and salvation, but there is no light at night. Although there is a moon goddess, the church in the human kingdom does not believe in her.

So, at night, around seven o'clock, the church door will be closed, and at six o'clock in the morning, the door will be opened on time.

Even on rainy, snowy or cloudy days, the door will still be opened because there is still light outside.

In fact, I learned all this from books. Modern history and historical culture courses also count as credits.

Of course, as a former top student and a noble in red, I would naturally know that.

Therefore, it is closed now, there must be something fishy going on.

At this time, we all arrived at the entrance of the Cathedral of the Beginning Kingdom with some fear, then looked at Elena and Lila on the left, looked at Xiaobai on the right, nodded to each other, and then stretched out our hands and knocked hard on the door of the cathedral.

Because the church door is made of special materials, people inside may not be able to hear it unless you knock hard.

Sure enough, after about ten seconds, the huge church door was opened with a "creaky" sound.

At this time, two middle-aged men in their thirties wearing missionary uniforms walked in.

"Ah, it's Her Royal Highness the Princess. Nice to meet you."

A missionary who was about to get impatient instantly changed his attitude when he saw it was me.

"It's broad daylight, why is the church door closed?"

In fact, this is also a private matter within the church, because they all obey the archbishop or the archbishop inside. If they force the door to be closed, basically no one can stop them from opening it except my father, Emperor Yi.

But this also means you can’t make money…

In fact, the church's financial resources do not only come from the grants within the royal city. Every person and every noble who comes to pray, asking for exorcism, exorcism, bad luck, divination, etc., all need to spend money.

That’s right, the church’s main source of income is actually holy water.

And the price is determined according to the purity of the holy water.

As the saying goes, pure holy water is priceless, and this is not without basis.

Because there is not much pure holy water in the church.

"Ah, it's like this. I don't know what happened recently, but the archbishop, the archdeacon and many priests have been infected with the cold. In order to prevent it from infecting others, we have temporarily closed the door. We will open it as usual when everyone is feeling better."

At this time another missionary hurriedly said.

"Then why don't you call a doctor if someone has caught a cold? Instead, why don't you close the door? Even if someone has caught a cold, there shouldn't be many people who haven't. It won't be possible to have them serve them then."

At this time, Elena directly refuted.

But it is also true that the area of ​​this church is really very large, and basically the old priests have beds, while the new priests sleep on the floor, and everyone basically sleeps together, so there is no reason not to open the door.

“This… is indeed the case.”

At this point, we noticed that something was wrong with the priest's eyes.

"But this time we are here to find the Grand Pope. Let's start carrying out His Majesty Emperor Yi's orders and search inside and outside the cathedral for any signs of the living dead or the corpse carriers."

"Uh... this, this is not something we can decide. We can only let the Pope or the Bishop make the decision..."

In an instant, the missionary's voice became even more hollow, but this made me feel that he was hiding something.

Therefore, there is absolutely no way I would just go back home. I must get to the bottom of this matter today.

"In that case, can you let me in if I have this?"

Having said that, without saying a word, I directly picked up the golden token with the word "Yi" on it that my father, Emperor Yi, gave me and held it high above my head.

"what……"

When they saw the golden token with the word "Yi" on it, they knelt down on the spot.

Because if anyone sees this golden token with the word "Yi" on it and disobeys orders, he can be beheaded immediately.

So we walked into the cathedral with full justification.

However, as soon as we entered the church, an unpleasant smell immediately reached our mouths and noses.

"It stinks."

At this time, Xiaobai and Angelize also covered their mouths and noses instantly, and their faces became a little abnormal.

That's right, this smell is like medicine, and a bit like disinfectant, especially pungent. If it continues like this, it will really block Xiaobai and Angelize's sense of smell.

If that's the case, then there must be something fishy going on, so I'll definitely have to investigate it thoroughly, because I don't want to return empty-handed.

However, at this moment, a missionary hurried over and seemed to say something in the ear of the two missionaries who were about to take us in. Anyway, I didn't hear it specifically.

"Well, Your Highness, please go to the Pope first."

"OK, no problem."

Really, I don't believe you can come up with any tricks. Since you asked me to meet you, then just meet you. At least I should give him face.

In this way, we passed through the tall and large prayer hall at the entrance and slowly walked towards the depths of the cathedral.

Chapter 57: Pope Badern

As expected, the cathedral of the Kingdom of the Beginning is indeed the most exquisitely built and largest church in the human kingdom.

Even outsiders like us can see that every brick and tile here is made of very special materials, although I can't tell what kind of material it is.

However, these materials should be quite expensive because it is really luxurious and beautiful.

At the same time, there were at least seven or eight churches as tall as ours with colorful windows every few meters on their tops.

And above each window, if you look carefully, you can see a statue, and this statue is indeed a famous goddess statue from different periods.

Even my mother, Goddess Shidune, Miss Goddess Herelia, and Goddess Lanis are there. This means that this church can accommodate goddesses of all faiths and treat them equally.

As expected, the missionaries of the Beginning Country have a higher level of faith.

In fact, this is equivalent to telling us that as long as you believe in the great goddess of this world, we are willing to accept you.

At this moment we walked through a very, very long corridor and came to a courtyard.

There were beautiful flowers and herbs everywhere, and every breath gave me a refreshing feeling. This should be where the priests usually rest.

Passing through this fragrant and beautiful courtyard, we came to a very large O-shaped hall with many doors.

And each door should correspond to a different room.

For example, the restaurant, herb grinding, potion making, library, etc. Anyway, this should be the place where the priests usually carry out their activities.

I've heard that even being a missionary is not easy, and basically you only have two hours of leisure time. If you eat quickly, you can rest for half an hour more in an hour. The rest of the time you need to pray, study, copy books, etc. You can't go to bed until seven o'clock in the evening, and turn off the lights on time at eight o'clock, and then get up around five in the morning to continue the day's routine.

Anyway, I think that if I stay here forever and there are no cute girls or nuns, I really won't be able to adapt at all.

It’s not thick, there’s no way it can be astringent here!!

In this way, we kept checking out scenes that are usually not seen, because I had never been to a cathedral before, and I visited the places where the priests of the cathedral normally live and work.

At this time we came to the middle of this 0-shaped building and walked towards the second floor.

Then I did see beds and mats on the floor...and it seemed that many priests had really caught a cold, and they were covering their foreheads with towels, resting and recuperating.

Then after we walked through this very large priests' bedroom, we went through a long narrow corridor and there was a huge metal double door.

If I am not mistaken, this should be the bedroom of Grand Pope Badern of the Beginning Country.

"His Royal Highness, Grand Pope Badern, and His Royal Highness, the Grand Princess, request an audience."

At this time, the missionary who brought us to the door of the Pope's bedroom raised his hand, then gently knocked on the double doors, and then shouted loudly.

"Let Her Royal Highness come in."

At this moment, I heard the voice of Grand Pope Badern, but he sounded older than before.

Could it be that he really had a cold?

If it is really just a cold, then that means there is no doubt about it. Then where are these corpse carriers and thousands of zombies hiding?

This instantly gave me a headache.

In the next second, the missionary exerted a little force, and the double doors of Pope Badern were slowly pushed open.

At this time, Archbishop Baden's face was indeed pale. He leaned on the back of his cheap-looking noble bed and struggled to hold on.

Then, the two missionaries who followed us quickly rushed forward and supported him to prevent him from losing all his efforts.

In this way, Pope Baden took great pains to sit up completely.

But at this time, I seemed to see light blue spots on his neck. Could it be that he not only had a cold, but was also under some kind of witchcraft, poisoning or something...

Although this is just my guess, I cannot be completely sure that Pope Baden is really the so-called corpse carrier.

"Hahaha, Princess Yvette, I didn't expect you to come and visit me. Please take your seat quickly, please take your seat quickly."

At this time, Pope Baden stretched out his wrinkled hand and waved it with difficulty.

The missionary who opened the door then nodded quickly, walked out, and quickly took off four wooden chairs that were quite exquisitely crafted and placed them in front of me.

Then we sat down without hesitation.

"It is like this, His Eminence, Grand Pope Badern, you know the purpose of our visit this time, right?"

In that case, I won't waste time or exchange pleasantries. I'll just get straight to the point.

"Ah... Sorry, I caught a cold after the meeting two days ago and forgot about this matter. I know, I know, Princess Yvette is here to investigate the living dead and the corpse deliverers."

"That's right, but if I want to investigate you, I definitely need your consent."

Really, this is the territory of Grand Pope Badern. Although my Yi token can order him to do things, he is my elder after all, and I have to obey him. If he doesn't cooperate, I will definitely enforce it, unless he doesn't want the position of Grand Pope anymore.

"Of course, Princess Yvette, do you need me to send some people to help you? Even if you guys search this church, it will take you half a day to finish it."

At this time, Pope Baden still had a slight smile on his face, but this time, I always felt that something was not right.

"No, because I'm afraid someone is covering up for me, so I brought people with me this time, and they're waiting at the door."

"Well, well, I'm a little sick now and can't get out of bed to take you to every place, so, Princess Yvette, please take it easy."

Just like that, Pope Baden waved his hand again, and then signaled the missionaries standing on both sides to help him down and let him lie flat on the bed again.

It seems that Pope Baden is really seriously ill. I estimate that it will take him at least ten days or half a month to recover.

However, at this moment, my big golden baby Lila suddenly stood up and slowly approached the bed of Pope Baden.

And from the side of her face I could see that her brows were slightly furrowed again, because, how should I put it, it was as if she felt something was not quite right.

"Uncle Pope, are the spots on your back corpse spots? Hey... why do you feel like there is no breath of life?"

At this time, Lila asked without saying anything.

"..."

Hearing this, Archbishop Baden, who had just laid down, wanted to say something but stopped talking in an instant. Then, I saw a very terrifying murderous aura revealed in the body of the missionary standing on Lila's side.

Chapter 58: The murderer is none other than Pope Badern

In the next second, I seemed to see the preacher put his hands behind his back and seemed to take out something.

Then a white light flashed, and I subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Without saying a word, I rushed forward from the chair and hugged my big golden baby, Lila.

In an instant, I felt a burning pain in my arm that went straight to my nerves.

That's right, my arm must have been cut by the dagger in the missionary's hand.

"What are you doing, Your Excellency the Grand Pope? It is a capital crime to hinder and harm Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of the Beginning Country. Do you know that?"

At this time, Elena saw that I was stabbed by the missionary, and she stood up and questioned him.

But this is true. Even if the Pope didn't hurt me personally, he would naturally be jointly responsible.
