holy city.

A cardinal's retreat room.

Amos, one of the twelve cardinals of Christ, was sitting on his knees on a couch, with a black Bible on the table in front of him and softly reciting the contents of the covenant.

"Shua..."

Suddenly, a ray of skylight fell from the roof, and an angel with middle-parted blond hair and two huge wings loomed in the skylight, alarming the cardinal who was chanting.

"Archangel!!!"

After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the cardinal was so frightened that he immediately stood up from his knees.

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

"Amos." As time went by, Gabriel became clearer and clearer, with fair skin and 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 take me to heaven?"

Gabriel shook his head slightly and said in a solemn voice: "Amos, do you know about the Lord summoning the Pope?"

"Yes, I know."

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

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

Amos was startled for a moment, 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 that this Yao is a heretic."

"pagan?"

Amos' eyes widened with shock: "How could the Lord give divine power to a pagan?"

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

They reject pagans from the bottom of their hearts, and the Inquisition is imprinted in the hearts of many people like a steel seal.

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

Amos wondered: "How did the devil fool God?"

Gabriel said: "God is not omnipotent, otherwise there would be no devil in this world. Amos, you have to shoulder your responsibilities as a cardinal."

After saying that, she no longer gave the other party a chance to ask questions, and her light and shadow body disappeared into the retreat room together with the holy light.

"The duties of a cardinal..." Amos muttered to himself, and if he realized something, he stood up and walked out of the room.

15:35 pm.

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear and clear.

Qin Yao and Dai Xiaole arrived in front of the main church by car together. After getting off the bus, the latter deliberately took half a step slow, thus highlighting the former's dominant status.

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

"Please stop."

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

Qin Yao looked sideways at the guard who was speaking, and said in a solemn 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 this matter had not happened, I would be willing to pay the due price for my words and deeds."

This last sentence successfully impressed the guard. He nodded slightly, turned around and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask His Majesty the Pope for instructions."

At the same time, inside the temple.

The Pope, dressed in gold and white attire, sat at the head of the long table with an upright posture. He glanced at the twelve cardinals on both sides of the long table and said slowly: "Bishop Amos, tell me why you applied for the Council of Cardinals.

."

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

The pope, who had silver hair and blue eyes, frowned slightly and asked in a serious voice: "What do you think?"

Amos bowed slightly: "May I ask, your majesty, are the people who come to receive the inheritance of divine power a believer in the Lord?"

The Pope said calmly: "The Holy Grail is the Lord's thing, and the divine power is also the Lord's. Giving it to Yao is the Lord's command. I don't understand what is there to question. Amos, are you questioning the Lord, or are you questioning the Lord?"

Question me?"

If he had not met Archangel Gabriel in person and received her instructions, Amos would never have applied for the Red Council and raised this issue.

But at this moment, he was emboldened by the archangel, and he was not afraid of the authority of the Pope: "I dare not question the Lord, nor do I dare to question you. What I question is Yao. The divine power of the Holy Grail is a gift from the Lord.

If a pagan can receive divine blessing, why can't our regular believers?"

The Pope shouted softly: "You worry too much."

Amos said with a firm look: "This is my responsibility, I must be worthy of the red suit on my body."

Pope: “…”

If this was not a holy city, a place where demons could never invade, he would have doubted whether Amos was possessed by a demon.

How dare this guy say these words?

Amos knew that he could not influence the Pope's will, so he turned to look at the other cardinals: "Everyone, I am not saying that I will resolutely obstruct this matter, but I think we need to conduct a test on that Yao. After all,

We don’t know who he is, where he comes from, or what he went through on the way here..."

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

At the pope's signal, a record officer trotted over and opened the door.

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

"It came so quickly," the Pope said subconsciously.

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

"Asians, they look a bit like Chinese or Koreans," the guard said.

The corners of Amos' mouth raised slightly: "I understand."

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

"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard said piously and respectfully.

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

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

"I agree with the test." After a moment, a cardinal stood up and said.

"I agree too."

"Me too."

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

It's like the patriarch of the Eastern Sect gave an elixir to the sect master and said that he would keep it until he was destined. However, after waiting for a long time, the sect master and the elders discovered that the person who came was a foreign devil...

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

Looking at this cardinal, the Pope narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had forgotten that he had the power 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 rest area.

Dai Xiaole stood on the red carpet, scanning the famous paintings hanging on the wall, and said with emotion: "It's magnificent and opulent."

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 a full thirty-one minutes. What do you think the Pope is doing now?"

Dai Xiaole: "He must be dealing with official business, right? After all, he is equivalent to the king of this country. It is normal for him to be involved in many things."

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, there should be nothing more important than me on his hands.

That’s what’s right.”

Dai Xiaole: "..."

Upon reflection, there is nothing wrong with this conclusion.

"What do you think he is doing right now?" Dai Xiaole asked shortly.

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

Dai Xiaole was silent.

Didn’t you say that you would take the divine power and leave?

Why does it feel like this pool of water is so deep?

In a blink of an eye, it was evening. The Pope, carrying a cross scepter, wearing a white and gold tiara, and a white gold robe, led twelve cardinals into the cathedral. The thirteen people walked out with an inexplicable power, which instantly attracted everyone.

caught the eyes of the two people in the rest area.
