Chapter 218 God Armed and God's Birthday Celebration
As time passed, while Lando controlled the power of faith from the perspective of the soul, he did not give up research on the layer of protection outside the soul.
At first, he just felt it was a little inconsistent, but as the observation time extended, he felt more and more that this layer of protection was too similar to the soul weapon created by his system!
Lando couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, maybe... no, it must be a part of the system in the Arcane Empire, and the Gods Laboratory was built based on the results of studying this part of the system.
Of course, there is another possibility that the system in Lando's body was originally the creation of someone in the Arcane Empire, but was scattered and lost for some reason, and Lando just got a part of it through good luck.
Relatively speaking, Lando still thinks that the former one is more likely. Considering the size of the Arcane Empire, it is very reasonable for good things like the system to be collected and studied after they are discovered. They must be in the empire's treasure house.
There will be no shortage of similar or even better products.
The second situation is obviously much lower. Lando does not believe that with the rigor of the arcanist, he will forget to add positioning functions or similar means to his creations, causing them to be scattered and lost!
Of course, based on the second possibility, Lando also has a darker guess, that is, his time travel and the system he obtained were not a coincidence, but the plan of an unknown entity to use him to achieve a certain purpose.
For this last guess, Lando currently has no good solution. The only thing he can do now is to work hard to improve his own strength and value. Therefore, as for the ultimate goal of the Gods Laboratory, the moment he learned about it
From the beginning, I was already determined to win!
As for the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, as mentioned in the previous life, the better the protagonist who gets the system grows, the happier the mastermind behind the scenes will be, because this means that the 'fruit' will become more mature and sweet. In this way, Lando also
He couldn't care about so much anymore. It was definitely impossible for him to give up everything he was doing now and even his extraordinary path in the future just because of this speculation!
From the perspective of the soul, the outer layer of protection has begun to undergo great changes after being instilled with the power of faith, and it has some "sacred" feeling.
If Lando's conjecture is correct, soul protection is also a kind of soul weapon. Now it may be called "divine weapon", but what about after being promoted to a god?
‘Soul Arms’?
‘Arms of Gods’?!
Time continues to pass as Lando adjusts and observes.
One year...
Three years...
Five years...
…
Time flies, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!
…………
Ten years is neither long nor short. For long-lived species, it may be just a nap or even a few thoughts, but for short-lived species, it may represent a wonderful life journey.

With the destruction of Gondor and the rise of the Kingdom of Pierce, although His Majesty the King has used superb methods to resolve one problem after another at home and abroad, the fact that the Kingdom of Pierce is still weaker than Gondor in the past cannot be avoided.
And even Gondor, which was completely victorious in the past, was only in the middle of all the countries in the entire Middle-earth continent, let alone the current newborn kingdom.
The restoration of the title of High King by the King of Gondor, Elessa Telkantar, is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of many countries!
Although Pierce and the others are confident because of Lando's existence, the problem is that other countries don't know it! Or even if they know Lando's existence, they won't care. They believe that individual strength may cause some trouble at the national level.
, but I will never believe that the existence of one person can threaten a country.
Therefore, for a long time before and after the founding of the Kingdom of Pierce, various incidents continued.
For countries, there is no friendship, only interests are eternal!
During this period, there were sophisticated layouts, conspiracies, sowing dissension, and various overt and covert 'fights'. The original cult of worshipers, the newly born Church of Reincarnation, also took advantage of this to become the leader of the entire Middle-earth continent.
On the stage, many epic and touching stories happened during this period, which are enough to be compiled into an epic masterpiece. It can be placed in the church so that later generations can understand the hardships of the predecessors in establishing and developing the church!
The Autonomous Territory of the Church of Reincarnation, in the Holy Court of the Church.
After ten years, Luca's appearance has not changed significantly, and he even looks younger than ten years ago.
After ten years of precipitation and growth, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He is majestic but also has a touch of gentleness. When people see him, they will naturally forget his age and unconsciously regard him as his age.
Think of a generous elder.
Wearing a soft and gorgeous black gold robe, she holds a golden scepter in her hand. The top of the scepter is inlaid with a diamond-shaped diamond the size of a baby's fist and with seven colors. The diamond seems to have strange magic power, and the colorful brilliance is constantly shining on it.
Going up and down, just staring at it will make people feel dizzy. This scepter is the symbol of the Pope of the Church of Reincarnation.
At this time, Luca was rarely praying or dealing with official duties, but was staring at a sculpture in the hall in a daze (thinking?).
This sculpture is exactly what Xiao Liuli looks like, which is the symbol of the Church of Reincarnation.
The sculpture is as tall as a person, and you can tell at a glance that it was made by a certain master. The simple image can also give people a sense of sanctity.
Of course, this sense of holiness may also come from other reasons, such as... enchantment!?
Just when Luca was concentrating on thinking (daze?), a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. The footsteps were heavy and powerful, and extremely rhythmic, as if they were measured with a stopwatch, and if he saw someone walking
You will find that every step he takes is not only consistent in time, but also the distance taken is as precise as measuring it with a ruler.
Luca didn't need to look back to know who was coming.
The leader of the Temple Knights, Luca’s closest subordinate, and the man known to the outside world as the right hand of God and the Blade of Judgment—Raphael Kadu!
The left hand of God refers to Pope Luca and the scepter in his hand, which represents the majesty and authority of the God of Reincarnation!
The right hand of God naturally refers to the leader of the Temple Knights, Raphael, and the Judgment Blade in his hand, which represents the killing power and power of the God of Reincarnation!
Raphael is tall, majestic and powerful, wearing a golden armor with silver runes shining on it. It makes a clanging sound when he walks. The black gold cape behind him also makes a clanging sound. He puts on the helmet of the armor.
Holding it in his right hand, his left hand holds the famous Judgment Blade at his waist. His face is resolute, and he always has a serious expression, but everyone in the Temple Knights knows that their leader is not a stereotype.
people.
Raphael looked dusty and had just returned from a mission outside. He came behind Luca and remained silent.
Luka turned around and asked in a gentle voice: "What's wrong? You just came back from outside looking so angry."
Although Raphael didn't show any special performance, Luca, who was proficient in psychic power, was still keenly aware of the anger in the opponent's heart.
Both parties are superiors and subordinates, and they have been friends for many years, so Luka naturally asked without any scruples.
After a moment of silence, Raphael also knew that he could not hide anything from his boss and good friend, the Pope, and he had no intention of hiding it, so he said: "I heard on the way here that little Dougal was sentenced to trial by
Someone took him away."
Luka smiled hoarsely and said, "That boy must be speaking freely again, right?"
Dougal is a leader among the new generation of the Temple Knights. He is usually favored by Raphael, so his character is inevitably a little arrogant, but it is limited to talking nonsense. In fact, Luka knows that that boy
The belief is extremely firm.
"Tell me, what trouble did he get into this time?" Luca asked.
Raphael said dullly: "It's not because of those... guys in the underground!"
Luka restrained his smile and said: "You have to remember, since they have converted to our Lord, they are our brothers and sisters. No matter what their origins are, I don't want to hear anyone in the church using the term 'evil race' to call our Lord."
Believers, do you understand?"
Raphael was silent for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly under Luca's gaze.
Luka ignored the resistance in the other party's heart and continued: "Dougal is indeed a good boy, but he always acts too extravagantly. It would be a good idea to let him have a longer memory this time. I believe Mr. Black Robe knows what's appropriate."
Raphael nodded seriously this time and agreed with Luca's statement, which was why he did not go to trial the person mentioned immediately after receiving the news.
Luca suddenly changed the subject and said: "The prosperous world on the surface is the paradise promised to us by God. We naturally welcome all God's people to join us, including those underground races who were once exiled. But if they cannot control their evil nature,
After all, you still have to say where you came from and where you are going back. When you bring these words to Mr. Black Robe for me, just say it was me who said it. I believe he will understand what I mean."
Raphael responded excitedly: "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"
As a person close to God and the Pope of the Church of Reincarnation, he can naturally understand God’s equal treatment of his people, but he also understands the needs of reality.
To put it bluntly, this incident is very simple. It is nothing more than Dougal saying some excessive things to those underground people, so he was arrested by the people in the trial. This can be known from Raphael's reaction. If Dougal
He was wrongly accused. This Temple Knight Commander had already turned upside down, but no one had ever thought that the Blade of Judgment was a good-tempered character.
But the world is not black and white, and many things cannot be judged simply as right or wrong.
After this incident happened, what would Dougal's relatives and friends think, and what would those people who couldn't stand the underground race think? Just looking at this, knowing that Dougal was at fault, he still angrily pulled
Phil should understand.
Part of Raphael's anger must be due to his hatred of Dougal and his anger at him for causing trouble, but part of it must also be due to those underground races.
Prejudice is like a mountain in people's hearts and cannot be removed so easily.
Regardless of whether those underground people are innocent in this matter, it actually doesn't matter.
It was precisely because he saw the vague signs of opposition that Luca had to respond in advance, and he would even make sacrifices and choices when necessary.
This is also the responsibility that one needs to shoulder as the Pope!
After all, God makes no mistakes!
"Okay, let's get down to business. How are the preparations for the celebration?" Putting aside the internal affairs of the church, Luca asked about one thing that he was more concerned about.
Hearing this topic, Raphael immediately returned to seriousness and said: "After half a year of preparation and publicity, news of readiness has been received from various dioceses. According to the different customs and behavioral habits of various places, we have made unified adjustments.
With the arrangements, God’s birthday celebration is foolproof!”
After speaking, Raphael was silent for a moment, then continued: "The above is the entire content of Zola's report, word for word."
"The celebration of God's birthday is foolproof? Haha, it's really what Zola would say." Luca laughed.
Zola, one of the former prayers, later surrendered to Luca and has always been the latter's most trusted right-hand man. This celebration is of great importance, so Luca sent him out to inspect the situation in other dioceses. Now it seems that progress is being made.
not bad.
Luca walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, he could see a busy scene outside. The elderly, children, men, and women all had happy smiles on their faces.
There is no doubt that everyone who can live in the headquarters of the Church of Reincarnation is a devout believer. In the entire church city, there are more than 100,000 such residents, and the population is still growing by at least 10,000 every year.
.
In daily life, such a pious and huge power of faith can be gathered, making the entire church city imbued with a layer of sacred brilliance.
It is conceivable that once the God's Birthday celebration planned by Luca comes, the power of faith generated by just this church city will be so amazing, let alone the entire Church of Reincarnation!
"Your Majesty the Pope, we..." Raphael really wanted to ask about the celebration. When he first heard about the plan, he didn't think much of it. As a staunch fanatic believer, in his opinion, believers are
Isn’t it natural to give everything to the Lord you believe in?!
But after all, Raphael was not a pure idealist. After this inspection, he saw some poor believers donating the last morsel of food at home to the church to support the celebration of God’s birthday, and he was even more deeply touched.
Of course, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the celebration of God's birthday itself. He just thinks that with the huge size of the church, it can achieve this goal using more gentle means, which can also make those relatively poor believers have an easier time.
Luca naturally understands Raphael's concerns and worries. Since the plan for the God's Birthday celebration was proposed, he has been under pressure from all aspects, but it is all worth it, as long as the goal is achieved!
"Destiny has already marked a price for everything. Only by paying today can you get rich rewards in the future!" Luca smiled and said to himself.
