Chapter 479: Meeting the Pope

Since they have arrived in the Holy City, the Templars and the conventional army of the Calebirth Kingdom do not need to act with Irving's troops and return to their own camps.

Under the leadership of Cardinal Terenbe, Owen and his group came to the central cathedral in the center of the city.

Next, the accompanying soldiers were taken to rest elsewhere, while Irving was allowed to bring two guards in to meet the Pope.

Before entering, Owen looked up at the golden flames burning at the top of the tower.

Is that the fire of faith? I heard that it is closely related to the existence of faith magic. If it is extinguished, will the world fall into chaos?

The bright golden flames are likely to feel dazzling after staring at them for a long time. Owen couldn't help but blink, then reached out to rub them, and then followed Cardinal Terenbe into the cathedral.

There is no need to think so much. Since the saint Rayev obtained the fire of faith, it has been burning for more than 600 years, very stable, how can it be destroyed just by saying it?

As soon as he entered the reception room, Owen saw an old man wearing a pope's crown and golden priestly costume get up from his seat and greeted him with a kind smile.

"Hoho, King Wells came from afar, thank you all the hard way."

Judging from the other party's outfit, he must be the current Pope Rayev Twenty-third.

Because of the good relationship between the two countries, Owen also smiled friendly and greeted politely: "For the first time we met, Pope Rayev Twenty-third."

"King Wells, please sit here."

Rayev Twenty-third raised his hand and signaled the seat not far away.

"It is rare to come to the Calebirth Kingdom, so we have to have a good chat."

"Okay, Pope, I also have a lot of things I want to ask you for advice."

Following the other party's wishes, Owen walked straight over and sat down in the seat, while the accompanying guards came to stand behind.

After a wave of greetings, the two of them conducted in-depth discussions on the Immortal Monsters and various cooperations carried out by the two countries, and they all believed that it was necessary to further strengthen cooperation.

"Last winter, the Immortal Monster did not launch a southward invasion, which is indeed an unusual signal."

Rayev Twenty-third reached out and stroked his white beard and said with a serious look: "King Wells, you are right. We must strengthen our defense against the north, and our country will also provide some help within our ability."

"That's great!" Owen thanked, "With your country's help, we can be more confident in dealing with the possible major crises in the future."

“This is what it should be.”

Rayev Twenty-third said in a righteous tone: "If Kazdog really hoarded the undead army and was ready to go out at some point and launch a great war, it would mean the official outbreak of the third jihad. By then, no country can survive alone. If we cannot unite to deal with the crisis together, what awaits us will be the extinction of all creatures, including humans, will be tragically extinct."

Every time there is a great crisis, the Templars will be the first to fight for the survival of mankind.

This is the responsibility shouldered by Lumichaelism and must not be avoided.

"Um."

Owen nodded solemnly and suggested: "In that case, I feel it is necessary to gather the rulers of all countries to hold a meeting, tell them about the immortal monsters, and then sign a mutual aid agreement. In this way, when a crisis arises, we can act in an orderly manner according to the agreement without the chaos of fighting each other."

"It is indeed necessary." Rayev Twenty-third agreed with Irving's suggestion, "my country is located in the middle of the mainland and is not too far from the capitals of various countries. You might as well set up the meeting place in the holy city and send invitations from my country to various countries. What do you think?"

"Then please you." Owen promised happily.

With the great influence of the religion of Michael in various countries, if the ruler receives an invitation from the Pope himself, he will not refuse to come.

Therefore, it is appropriate to hold this meeting by the Calebian Kingdom.

Afterwards, the two sides discussed other matters.

"By the way, Pope."

There was a question that was not suitable for asking. Irving was originally hesitating whether to ask, but finally decided to ask the Pope. After all, there might not be such a chance in the future.

"I have a question I would like to ask you. This question may be a bit offensive, so please forgive me."

"Oh?" Rayev Twenty-third frowned slightly, "What do you want to ask?"

“As the highest administrator of Lumichaelism, you must be the most faithful believer in the gods.”

Owen asked cautiously: "Did you ever have a doubt when you pray to the gods after staying in the church for so long? Do Gods really exist?"

"Hohoho--"

After hearing Irving's question, Rayev Twenty-third burst into laughter.

"So you're asking about this."

"Is this question funny?" Owen was puzzled.

"That's not the case, I just didn't expect you to ask this."

Withdrawing his laughter, Rayev Twenty-third replied with a serious face: "I can tell you clearly that the gods really exist."

After a pause, he added: "It is normal for ordinary people to have this doubt. To be honest, when I first started to learn to believe in magic, I also suspected the existence of gods, which led to my learning progress lag behind others, because it is impossible to master faith in magic with doubts."

"After discovering this, I abandoned my doubts about the gods in my heart, and successfully established a weak connection with the gods and performed the magic of faith. Since then, I have never had any doubts about the existence of the gods."

Theresa has said this before by believing in magic, but Irving thinks this reason is a bit far-fetched.

"Do you believe in magic..." Owen murmured in a low voice.

"And then," Raev Twenty-third asked, "King Wells, why do you want to know if the gods exist?"

In response to this, Owen frankly stated the reason: "When I was studying magic, I found that magic seemed to have a certain connection with gods, so I wanted to find out whether the existence of magic was related to gods."

"The holy scripture has clouds, and the gods create all things in the world in chaos."

To quote the words from the Holy Book, Rayev Twenty-third told Irving: "Since everything in the world is created by gods, magic is naturally a gift from gods, allowing special humans to cast magic and protect everyone from monsters."

There is indeed such a sentence in the holy book.

However, the Book of Sacred was created by Rayev I six hundred years ago, and the belief in magic and Lumichaelism were also born when the vampire army was raging all countries.

Before this, there were no magic, and there were even gods who believed in other religious beliefs. Are they the same gods as the Lumichael religion?

Or, at that time, the gods were just observing humans somewhere, until humans faced a great crisis of life and death, and suddenly took action, giving the fire of faith to the saint Rayev to help humans defeat vampires.
