Shaking away the suffocating men, Locke looked at the surrounding Templars one by one. After confirming that no one dared to look at him, he said slowly.
"I'm telling you, I have His Majesty the Pope's secret decree. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened here, including Master Lu Feng. Do you understand?"
Under Locke's intimidation, everyone did not dare to disobey and nodded in agreement.
But Locke naturally would not just trust these men who had followed Lu Feng to death for decades, so he took out a badge and displayed it in front of everyone.
The moment the badge appeared, all the temple knights present knelt down and said respectfully, "Welcome to His Majesty the Pope!"
"……."
After a while, when the Templar Knights on the top of the mountain left one after another, Xiaoqiang's figure slowly appeared from behind a big tree. He stared at the direction where the Temple Knights disappeared, and frowned slightly.
Before, when the Bai Juhua siblings were knocked off the cliff, Xiaoqiang had already escaped from the box. Using the stealth function in the magic card, he quietly hid behind the big tree, and then he saw a scene that surprised him.
At that time, Locke took out a badge, and as a magic power emerged from that special badge, an old man in white robes also appeared from it.
Although the old man did not speak, and the picture in front of him was more like a long-distance holographic projection, but just looking at the old man's eyes, Xiaoqiang's head felt as if something had hit him hard, with that kind of pain
The splitting feeling made him almost scream.
The frightened Xiaoqiang quickly withdrew his gaze, and did not dare to look directly at the scene for a while. He just listened to their conversation sporadically, but perhaps because of the magic barrier, the old man in white robe did not say anything.
can be transmitted from it.
The curious Xiaoqiang tried to take a peek again, but this time he was a little disappointed, because the old man's shadow had completely disappeared, leaving only the congratulations of all the temple knights present.
Xiaoqiang hid behind the big tree and waited for all the temple knights to leave. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he walked out from behind the big tree.
"Is that old man's shadow the Pope?"
He recalled the scene of the old man that had just appeared in his mind, but for some reason, when Xiaoqiang recalled the scene he had just seen, he could not recall the appearance of the old man. It felt like it had been mosaicd.
Xiaoqiang, who was extremely surprised, did not think that he would have Alzheimer's disease. He would forget the scene just after a few breaths, so he called the system Xiaobai to ask the reason.
"Xiao Bai, what's going on? Why can't I remember what the old man looked like just now?"
Xiaobai said, "This is not unexpected. When the other party appeared, he used some kind of short-term amnesia magic, which will make people actively forget some things that the caster doesn't want them to see."
"Is there such a magic?" Xiaoqiang asked in surprise.
Xiaobai said calmly, "The world is so big and full of wonders, there is nothing surprising about it."
"Then, can you remind me of that old man's appearance?"
"Of course."
As Xiaobai agreed, a picture appeared in Xiaoqiang's mind, and looking at the old man in front of him, Xiaoqiang was extremely shocked.
Because, just through the picture, he felt a powerful aura from this old man that only belonged to a superior person. That aura was not visible to the outside, but it was full of unrivaled power in every gesture. That feeling was like
Like a giant, just a flick of his finger can make the whole world shake.
When Xiaoqiang was shocked by the old man's momentum, the old man thousands of miles away also sensed it. He glanced in the direction of Xiaoqiang, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"I didn't expect you to be much stronger than I thought, but..."
The old man didn't finish what he said, and then walked into the spacious conference hall behind him. At the same time, the conference hall was already filled with high-level officials from the theocratic empire. When they saw the pope appearing, they immediately fell silent and stood up to greet him.
"Welcome to His Majesty the Pope."
The shouts in unison seemed clean and tidy, and there was no noise at all even in the huge conference hall.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
The Pope slowly sat down on his own throne, looked around at everyone present and said.
"I'm calling everyone here this time to announce something important."
Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly became restless. Although it was short-lived, everyone's eyebrows showed doubts.
"Everyone knows that the Saint is already sixteen years old. According to this age, it is time to get married, so I plan to hold a competition in the Holy City in half a year. Whoever can win the final victory will be the Saint.
Marry the other person.”
The Pope's words were like a bomb that instantly stirred up countless waves. The big guys present looked at the Pope in great surprise.
Although most people have puzzlement and confusion in their eyes, some people have excitement and excitement in their eyes, and some people are already gearing up in private.
At this time, a woman stood up. She looked at the Pope without much fear in her eyes.
"Your Majesty the Pope, no, the saint is only sixteen years old. Is your decision too early?"
The Pope smiled and said, "I have discussed this matter with the Holy Lady and she agrees with my decision."
The woman seemed very surprised and wanted to ask the reason, but the Pope did not want to explain too much on this matter. He just left the conference hall after announcing the matter.
The Pope's departure made the entire conference hall suddenly noisy, and the big guys sitting next to each other even talked about the Pope's decision among themselves.
But compared to how excited others were about this decision, the woman who spoke before left the conference hall and hurried towards the palace where the saint was.
The Palace of the Holy Virgin is the most gorgeous building in the Theocratic Empire after the Papal Palace. The decoration here is all white. Even the roads have been swept clean. There is not a trace of dust. At this moment, the woman is walking in the aisle of the Palace of the Holy Virgin.
On top, there was anxiety in his eyes.
Not long after, the woman came to a magnificent gate. As soon as she stood still, the gate slowly opened under the influence of an invisible force. Through the gradually widening gap in the door, the woman also saw the man whom she regarded as her daughter.
's children.
Slowly walking into the hall, the crisp footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the woman reading. She raised her star-like eyes, and the surprise in her eyes was gradually replaced by a joyful look.
"Sister Li, why are you here?"
There was also a smile on the woman's lips. She slowly came to the saint's side, glanced at the book in her hand and asked.
