Chapter 507
After the meeting, Owen checked into a high-end room arranged by the Holy Theocracy of Caleb and rested there.
That night, the lights in Owen's room were still on.
Boom!
At this time, a senior priest reached out and knocked on the door, and asked cautiously: "His Majesty the King of Wells, have you gone to bed?"
"Not yet." Owen responded, "What's the matter?"
"Is such that."
The senior priest outside the door then said: "His Majesty the Pope has something important to discuss with you. I hope you can come over now."
After hearing this, Owen immediately stood up from his seat, walked over, opened the door, and glanced at the senior priest outside the door.
"Take me there."
Owen probably guessed what the Pope wanted to do with him, so he accepted this late-night invitation.
In response, the senior priest immediately turned sideways and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"King of Wells, please come with me."
Under the leadership of the senior priest, Owen came to the prayer hall of the Central Cathedral, where there was a strong solemn atmosphere.
The prayer hall is very large, with many rows of benches neatly arranged on both sides of the entrance, where believers can sit and rest.
Further ahead is a spacious open space, where priests and believers pray to the gods every day.
The statues of the gods are placed deep in the hall. There is a special structure on the top of the hall. During the day, the light will focus on the statues of the gods.
At this moment, the new Pope Freya Lutis Laev XXIV was standing in front of the statue of the god, with her hands clasped on her chest, her eyes closed and her head slightly lowered, praying sincerely to the god.
Standing next to Freya is Angelica, who is performing her escort mission dutifully.
"...I hope that everyone in the world can unite and survive this crisis safely." Freya whispered.
"Pope." Owen came from behind, "It's so late and you are still praying to the gods. You are so pious."
Hearing this, Freya opened her eyes, loosened her hands, turned around, and looked at Owen with a smile.
"King of Wells, you are finally here."
"It's so late. I wonder if the Pope wants to see me for something important?" Owen asked knowingly.
"It is not convenient to discuss this matter here. I also ask the King of Wells to follow me to the Forbidden Library." Freya said.
"Okay." Owen nodded, "Then I'll ask the Pope to lead the way."
When they arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden Library, Angelica did not follow her in, but waited outside like the guard. Only Owen and Freya went in.
I have seen the method of opening the secret passage before, and Owen acted very calmly this time.
The same scene appeared again, the space of the Forbidden Library suddenly became spacious, a secret passage entrance appeared behind the saint's stone statue, and Freya's figure reappeared on the side of the entrance.
After walking up the long stairs, the two came to the underground space beneath the central cathedral again.
Looking deep into the underground space, Owen saw the exquisite fire altar before, but there was nothing on it. The golden flame - the true fire of faith had been extinguished.
"Sure enough, the fire of faith was extinguished."
The situation was exactly as Owen suspected, and he said this calmly.
"Yes, King of Wells." Freya walked up to Owen from behind, "This matter has really dealt a huge blow to the Rumicale Cult. In order to prevent the collapse of the faith of believers all over the world, I still
This matter was not announced to the public."
"I can understand you doing this."
Owen reminded: "However, the failure of faith magic has made many people suspicious. After all, paper cannot cover fire. Sooner or later, the extinguishing of the fire of faith will be exposed. You must quickly think of countermeasures."
"That's true." Freya turned to look at Owen, "That's why I'll call you over tonight."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Owen turned around curiously and looked directly at the other person.
"I can't seem to be of much help when the fire of faith is extinguished. I wonder why the Pope thinks I can solve this problem for the church?"
"No." Freya shook her head slightly, "Actually, I have already thought about how to respond to believers about the failure of belief magic. I called you here this time because I have something else to ask you."
Having said this, she turned around and walked to the table not far away, picked up a magic stone on the table and played with it in her hands, but kept glancing towards Owen, observing secretly.
"King of Wells, you are the most incredible man I have ever seen. In just a few years, you were able to develop the remote and poor border town into the prosperous and prosperous Dawn City today. Looking into the reason, you are so important in these few years.
One of the important factors is that many new things have been invented and created over the years."
Freya sent people to secretly investigate and collect all of Owen's past deeds.
It turned out that before Irving inherited his father's title, although he had one or two outstanding performances, he was generally mediocre.
After inheriting the title, Irving suddenly seemed to be having fun, creating and inventing all kinds of amazing new things, which even people in the industry were full of praise for.
You must know that Owen has never been exposed to the construction, iron smelting and other industries before. He clearly has no knowledge of related industries, so why can he come up with major inventions that people in the industry have not thought of? This is very suspicious.
"King of Wells, the changes before and after you inherited the title are too obvious." Freya looked back at Owen and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's hard not to make people wonder whether you have received guidance from an expert?"
She had indeed received guidance from an expert. Owen admitted in his heart that this woman was so smart and was very close to the truth.
Unfortunately, he couldn't tell anything about Winster.
Just as Owen was thinking about how to answer this question, Freya continued: "That's not what I want to ask about. It doesn't matter if you don't want to disclose it. It will not affect the friendly exchanges between our two countries."
"Then what do you want to ask?" Owen asked.
"Remember the joke you made here, about whether the gods are planning to abandon humans?" Freya asked back.
"of course I remember."
I almost angered the former pope at that time, and Owen will naturally not forget that incident.
"Now, the fire of faith is extinguished, and the gods seem to have really abandoned us." Freya said, "You were right, King of Wells."
"No, no, no." Owen quickly waved his hand to deny, "I was really joking at the time."
"Oh, is it so?"
The corners of Freya's mouth curved up, showing an incomprehensible smile, and then said: "In today's meeting, you warned us to be prepared for the disappearance of the magic power. Although the reasons given are not convincing, I
I don’t think you’re the kind of person who issues inexplicable warnings without any basis."
"The truth behind this big crisis, or the truth of this world, King Wells, you must know something. Even if it is a little bit of information, I hope you can tell it truthfully, okay?"
