"Is this the seat of the Holy See?" Eleanor looked around, "I always feel a little bit disappointed...it's not as beautiful as my Weisbach Palace."
"The Lateran Palace was originally the Lateran Science and Technology Park, which was also the seat of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering of the Solomon Empire." Nora explained, "From the beginning of its construction, the appearance of the building was not considered much."
"Because if it is built too grandly, it will be inconvenient to ask for scientific research funding from the empire." Asker complained.
"That's right." Nora snapped her fingers playfully and said with a smile.
"The Holy See and the Academy of Science and Technology... always feel weird." Eleanor said.
"So do you know? The ancient name of the Cardinal is 'Imperial Academician'." Nora looked at the four-cornered bell tower opposite, "That! Did you see it? That is Giotto's Bell."
"Giotto's Bell?"
"Yes, it was built in the year 334 of the Third Age. It is said that the clock dial is connected to the calculation process of the super artificial intelligence Raphael. As the end approaches, the clock dial hands will gradually move towards 12 o'clock."
"Is there really an end of the world?" Eleanor expressed disbelief.
"There is also a saying that it is the end of civilization." Nora chatted casually and pointed to the church next to her. "Next to Giotto's Bell is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore."
"Baihua Church is engaged in big data processing and analysis, and is also the main department responsible for training, maintaining and optimizing Raphael. It has a dedicated 'Doomsday Judgment' team responsible for tracking changes in Giotto's Bell."
"Oh oh oh." Eleanor's face was filled with an exclamation expression of "I don't understand what you are saying, but it sounds awesome."
"So, what about that church?" She pointed to the huge building in front of her and said, "It seems to be the tallest building nearby, right?"
"Ah, yes." Nora said, "That's St. Peter's Cathedral. It mainly studies nuclear energy engineering. Normal people are generally prohibited from entering."
"It is said that before Christ returned to the Kingdom of Heaven, he gave the golden key to the Kingdom of Heaven to St. Peter. This key is the power of the 'core'."
"Is the 'nuclear energy project' you mentioned related to nuclear bombs?" Eleanor asked curiously.
"Nuclear bombs are just the most basic military application of nuclear energy." Nora replied, and saw a group of papal guards coming over.
"Your Excellency Asker, Your Excellency Nora, Your Excellency Eleanor." The captain of the guard saluted the three of them one by one. "We are here to greet you by decree of the Holy See. Please continue to move forward with those who follow us."
"Go forward separately?" Ask noticed his strange wording, "Aren't we going to see the Pope?"
"Only you are invited to see the Holy See." The captain of the guard said, "Your Excellency Nora will go to see Bishop Varian, and Your Excellency Eleanor will be received by Bishop Adelaide."
"Adelaide? Who is it?" Eleanor was still a little confused when she heard Asker say, "Okay, then we will go back later and meet up at the Licinius Building."
"So where are we going?" After parting ways with the two girls, Asker, led by the Pope's guards, arrived at the secret subway under the Lateran Palace.
"His Majesty the Holy See is not on the surface at this time." The captain of the guard replied.
"Not on the surface?" Asik thought, did he run underground?
"We will take the subway train to Castel Sant'Angelo next," the captain replied.
Castel Sant'Angelo is the drone airport in the area where the Angel Force is stationed. It is also home to the Pope's special flight "Holy One". In other words, Innocent is probably flying in the air at this time.
The subway train rumbled through the tunnel. Asik sat bored in his seat and saw the papal guards skillfully removing their arms, oiling and maintaining the mechanical joints inside, or helping each other replace batteries, etc.
These papal guards are all super warriors with a mechanization level of over 90%. Only part of the brain cortex still retains the biochemical tissue of the original body. Overall, they are no different from robots.
In the original game world, since there was no plot dungeon such as "Destroy the Holy See", Asker had never fought against the Papal Guards. However, I heard from some idle professional players that these Papal Guards did not work one-on-one.
It's not difficult to deal with, but if it's a complete team, it's as tricky as facing a demigod.
Because you never know what black technology weapons they will pull out from their arms, thighs and abdomen that you have never seen before.
But after all, Asker is a mature professional player who has escaped from low-level tastes. Of course, he has no interest in the weapons hidden in the bodies of these papal guards, so he just watched boredly as they completed the body inspection and then pulled them out from the side of the carriage.
I took out a network cable and plugged it into the temple port.
Then he started surfing the Internet without moving.
Ask:………………
Why do you suddenly feel a little envious?
About twenty minutes later, the subway train arrived at Castel Sant'Angelo. This military base is located in the westernmost part of Solomon City and is already a suburb outside the city.
This location is a bit far from the Licinius Building!
"Well, after I finish meeting with the Holy See, will you send me back?" Ask suddenly asked.
"We will airdrop you into the city, Lord Asker." the guard captain replied.
Ask:???
"Just kidding." The captain of the guard said expressionlessly. This mechanized warrior with 90% of his body modified, even if he was telling a cold joke, his voice did not fluctuate at all. "We will arrange a plane to escort you and land in Licinius.
The rooftop of the building belongs to the airport.”
After saying that, everyone who landed on the surface again saw a jet helicopter slowly landing in front.
After boarding the helicopter, the plane took off again and headed towards the airship in the sky.
The airship formation that sails over Solomon City every day is called "Sacred Voice". Although the name is very impressive, most of the time it just broadcasts advertisements, radio programs, hourly time and weather forecasts.
However, what only a few rich people in Solomon know is that there is an airship that does not play advertisements, but opens a sky restaurant. Customers can sit leisurely on the airship, enjoy delicious food, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city below.
When Asker boarded the airship, he discovered that the entire sky restaurant had been booked. The extra tables and chairs had been removed, leaving a large open space. Several graceful singers were accompanying him.
Melodious music a cappella singing and dancing.
On the stand with the best view, there is a dining table and two chairs.
The entire Holy See... It should be said that the most powerful old man in the entire world, His Majesty Pope Innocent, has already sat on one of the chairs, indicating that he can take a seat across the table.
Asker calmly pulled out a chair opposite and sat down. Innocent had already pushed the menu over and said:
"I've ordered some dishes in advance, I hope you don't mind."
"Of course not, Your Majesty." Ask said with a smile, flipping through the menu, and took a sip from the glass with lemonade next to him. He only heard Innocent say again:
"The food in this restaurant tastes good. You can bring your harem group here next time."
puff!
Ask turned his head at lightning speed and sprayed the lemonade in his mouth on the ground next to him.
