Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Second The Achievement of the Erudite
"It's all here."
Facing Qin Changfeng's inquiry, the old man Thomas stood up with difficulty, then walked under the statue, held an urn in his hands and said: "This is His Majesty the Pope. Three years ago, His Majesty the Pope led several bishops to a noble
I preached in the territory, but only their corpses came back. It was said that they were attacked by werewolves, but I saw the scars of swords on the corpses... There was no way. Compared with the dark creatures, we were too weak. At that time, we were almost
We are already in despair, thinking that God has abandoned us and that light will eventually be completely swallowed up by darkness..."
"But God still retains hope for us after all. Qin, you are the one sent by God to save us!" The old man suddenly turned around, then walked over with a wooden tray, his eyes exuding infinite light and said: "His Majesty the Pope once left
Whoever can lead us to sweep away the darkness and re-sow the seeds of light to the earth will be the next pope. My child, we have been waiting for three years, no... hundreds of years, since the birth of the first evil creature
Since then, we have been waiting.”
"For hundreds of years, crazy werewolves and cunning vampires have been fighting and fighting on this land. The darkness has continued to expand, and the light has continued to decline. Until just now... If you hadn't appeared, the Holy See would have completely ceased to exist.
The disappearance of the world is not a coincidence, but destiny!"
"Child, this is your destiny, and it is also our destiny! It is destiny that you will become the Pope and lead us to bring the sacred light back to the world!" With a pop, the old man knelt down without any warning.
Then he raised a crown and a scepter in the tray high and roared at the top of his lungs: "Please follow the orders of the previous pope and inherit the position of the twenty-third pope of the Holy See!"
At the same time, the other three people also knelt down without hesitation, crawled on the ground and shouted: "Invite the destined one to take the throne. We swear that we will follow you to the death!"
Qin Changfeng was a little confused by the situation in front of him. After reacting, he realized that this was what he needed to complete the main mission, so he stopped being pretentious and played the trick of inviting three resignations and directly picked up the power on the wooden plate.
Staff, said with a serious expression: "From today on, I will lead you to use the sacred sword to crucify all the darkness on this earth!"
"We hereby swear an oath to follow His Majesty to the death, to charge into battle with a sharp sword and a strong shield, and never to retreat until death."
"We hereby swear an oath to follow His Majesty to the death, to charge into battle with a sharp sword and a strong shield, and never to retreat until death!"
………………
At this time, there were only five old, weak, sick and disabled people kneeling on the ground and uttering their vows. Compared with the dark forces that enveloped the entire land and even the sky, this voice was so weak, but standing in the stone house
Qin Changfeng heard the sound echoing in his ears, but it felt as if tens of millions of people were roaring, deafening. This is the power of faith!
………………
Less than an hour after entering this world, Qin Changfeng became the Pope. His title was unprecedentedly noble, but in fact all he got was--five ordinary, skinny subordinates, and one dilapidated and incompetent man.
A farm cultivated by people, a stone house, seven or eight thatched huts without roofs, and perhaps the most high-end thing is the box of classics in front of you.
"You will be strong and have nothing to fear. You will forget your sufferings, and even remember them like water flowing by. Your days on earth will be brighter than the noonday, and even though there is darkness, they will still be like the morning."
"I came into the world as light, but whoever believes in me will not abide in darkness..."
In the secret room under the stone house, Qin Changfeng casually opened a heavy book without a title, flipped through it and took a few glances, and found that it was filled with vague scriptures and teachings.
At this time, Thomas was leading four other people outside to deal with the bodies of their companions who had just been killed by wolves, because if they were not burned, they would turn into wolves and stand up again to attack other people in a few hours, and then endlessly
...This is how this savage and bloodthirsty creature grew stronger.
It was Thomas who asked Qin Changfeng to wait here, and he didn't know when he would come back, so Qin Changfeng kept looking at the classics in the box when he had nothing to do.
Gradually, he discovered that this Holy See seemed to be the vest of Christianity in his memory. Both scriptures and doctrines were similar. Of course, this was just his guess, because there was no clear mention of Christ and Jehovah in any book.
A few words.
Two hours later, when Qin Changfeng was gradually ecstatically watching for no apparent reason, a rising voice suddenly woke Qin Changfeng up.
"Tip: Your military rank is a non-commissioned officer, and as the pope, you have been concentrating on reading religious classics for a long time, turning on the achievement system, triggering the achievement task - Theology Erudite, carefully reading at least a hundred different religious works, achievement attribute: basic spirituality
+7, +10 reputation among religious forces in any world."
Achievement system?
Qin Changfeng pondered slightly and had to ask the mastermind to understand the difference between achievements and titles.
To put it simply, titles usually need to be obtained through combat, and most of their functions are to obtain various special effects;
Achievements are usually obtained through gentle methods that have nothing to do with combat, and their function is mostly to improve basic attributes.
Moreover, titles, especially high-level titles, are generally unique, while achievements can be unlocked by almost all trialists as long as certain conditions are met.
"It seems to be the difference between the combat profession and the life deputy profession...and the additional ones are actually basic attributes, which greatly increases the importance of the achievement." Just as Qin Changfeng was muttering to himself, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Voice.
"Your Majesty, please change." Thomas, who was wet, walked up to Qin Changfeng holding a gorgeous robe trimmed with gold threads in his hands and motioned for him to change into it.
Qin Changfeng looked at the blood stains on it that couldn't be washed away, and knew that it must have been worn by his predecessor, maybe it was ripped off from the body, and he said speechlessly: "Guardian, the clothes I'm wearing now are quite good, okay.
Don't you want to change it? Also... you can call me by my name directly as before, or you can call me by any other name, except Your Majesty."
The old man said seriously: "Your Majesty, although we have fallen into unprecedented weakness, we should abide by the doctrines and rules. Otherwise, if we ourselves are slacking off, how can we make the world respect us?"
The old man is beating around the bush and saying that the weaker he gets, the more he has to put up a front, at least to make outsiders look like he is a very noble pope. Otherwise, why should others believe in you, an old hater? This is different from the world on earth.
The same thing applies to people who look glamorous on the outside but are actually heavily in debt. No matter how difficult the situation is, don't let people know what you are, otherwise the creditors will come together to collect debts and it will really collapse.
After Qin Changfeng put on the musty smelling robe, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said: "I wonder when His Majesty the Pope will hold the first Holy See meeting."
At the Vatican Council, are we the only five or six cats and kittens in total?
Qin Changfeng shook his head speechlessly and said, "You go out and get ready first. I'll think about it first and then go out in half an hour."
"Okay", the old man saluted respectfully, then turned and left.
Only then could Qin Changfeng calm down and think about what happened after his arrival, as well as the hidden information revealed by the mastermind in this trial.
First of all, one thing Qin Changfeng is sure of is that in the original plot of the movie, the power of the Holy See did not appear in any step of the Dark Night series, but now he has become the Pope of the Holy See.
There are two possibilities for this situation: First, the Holy See did exist, but because it did not have the power to resist vampires and werewolves, it finally died silently.
The second possibility is that this force was specially added by the mastermind to test Qin Changfeng.
Qin Changfeng prefers the former, because the probability of having the mastermind do something specifically for him, a mere sergeant tester, is infinitely close to zero.
Therefore, the current situation and the two main-line missions are just the mastermind's decision to take into account his title of Saint Walker and the Black Iron-level military merit mission of the Source of Civilization.
Thinking of this, Qin Changfeng instinctively realized that the military mission of the Origin of Civilization and the two main missions set for him by the mastermind this time were not simple, and there seemed to be some connection between them.
The source of civilization, according to the name, is the source that can create a civilization!
So once civilization is born, what needs to be done next?
It's protection!
Just like a seed, if you want it to grow into a towering tree, you have to protect it from the wind and rain when it is weak...
And isn’t the main mission this time to protect and protect the seed of the Holy See to grow again?
But what Qin Changfeng couldn't figure out was what role the trialists played in the trial tower structure.
I hope I'm not cannon fodder... Qin Changfeng thought this when he left the secret room.
When Qin Changfeng returned to the ground through the stairs, the old man Thomas had already brought the other three people to get a long table and several chairs that were either missing legs or had no backrests.
"I just came back and I don't understand the situation yet. Thomas, please briefly introduce the current situation of the Holy See." Qin Changfeng said to Thomas after sitting down on the only chair with a backrest and legs.
The latter sat upright and said in a deep voice: "Since the death of His Majesty the Pope three years ago, we have lost the last fortress. Now there are only a dozen poor farmers who still believe in the Holy Light. The lords have all completely surrendered to the vampires.
Under the power of lust..."
While Thomas was talking eloquently, Qin Changfeng looked at his five subordinates calmly.
