"What? His Majesty the Pope personally went to excuse Lin Zhiming?!"
When Wesley received the report from his subordinates, everyone was dumbfounded.
As a member of the royal family, he has a deep relationship with the Holy See. After all, the Holy See and the royal family both represent European orthodoxy, one is aristocratic orthodoxy, and the other is theocratic orthodoxy. Many religious activities of the royal family also need the support of the Holy See, so
He knows deeply that the Holy See rarely interferes in secular affairs. When the country was in turmoil, the Queen called the Pope, hoping that the Pope would come forward to stop it, but the Pope refused. This can be seen from this.
The Holy See avoids worldly things, because once it gets involved in too many worldly things, it will be difficult for the Holy See to maintain its aloof and aloof attitude.
So when Wesley heard from his subordinates that the Pope personally came out to excuse Lin Zhiming, Wesley was not only puzzled but also shocked.
The Pope didn't even help the Queen at first, but now he helps Lin Zhiming. Could it be that they had known each other before?
But it shouldn’t be. The Pope has not left the Papal Palace for a long time. How could he have an intersection with Lin Zhiming? Besides, Lin Zhiming is only in his thirties, how can his life history cover the Pope?
"Where's your destiny?" Wesley asked.
"The chief of police said he has been released," the subordinate said.
"Tell him to come to me," Wesley said.
"Mr. Lin is on his way to find His Majesty the Pope," his subordinate said.
"Looking for the Pope?" Wesley was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You should really go to His Majesty the Pope first. Then let him come to me after he has met with His Majesty the Pope."
"yes!"
The other side.
Lin Zhiming has been released by Zhan Ning and learned the reason for his release.
He and Wesley behaved exactly the same, both were very shocked and confused.
So after bidding farewell to Zhan Ning, he immediately set off for Tianling Cathedral.
This church is the largest church in the country, so it has hosted many important activities. It is also the temporary palace of the Pope in the country.
Lin Zhiming came to the door of the church.
A cardinal had already been waiting here. When he saw Lin Zhiming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is here to see your Majesty, right?"
"Yes." Lin Zhiming said straightforwardly.
"Please follow me," the cardinal said, turning and walking towards the side of the church.
Lin Zhiming followed closely and walked into the side of the church.
After wandering around the church for a while, Lin Zhiming came to a room.
In the room, the Pope was holding a Bible and chanting to a statue.
Lin Zhiming knew about that statue, which was said to be a statue of a god.
Lin Zhiming was an atheist a long time ago, and after he met Jiayun, he strengthened his belief. The so-called Buddhism, or the Holy See of Light, are just the products of Jiayun's travels in the world.
That's all, or you can think of them as the continuation of the Macrobi civilization. As for the so-called gods, they can be understood as people from other more advanced civilizations, just like the Holy Lord Bogut. He is a god in the Tree of Life, but in fact
He is a Titan.
So when Lin Zhiming faced the so-called idol, he was actually very calm, even indifferent.
The pope was mumbling something in front of the statue, but Lin Zhiming didn't bother him and just stood quietly beside him.
About ten minutes passed like this. The Pope stopped reciting, put down the Bible in his hand and turned to look at Lin Zhiming.
"I am confessing to God," the pope said.
"Is it because you made perjury for me?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Yes." The Pope said bluntly.
"I will remember His Majesty the Pope's kindness to me forever." Lin Zhiming said solemnly.
The Pope smiled and said, "Come out with me, this is not the place to talk."
Lin Zhiming nodded, followed the Pope and left the room, arriving at a living room.
The living room is small, and the floor is covered with a Renaissance-style carpet.
The Pope sat on the chair and motioned for Lin Zhiming to sit down as well.
Lin Zhiming nodded, sat opposite the Pope, and then said, "His Majesty the Pope, you should know why I am here, right?"
"Please help me testify for you." The Pope nodded.
"Yes, I have heard it all. Your Majesty the Pope, you said that I was with you when the incident occurred yesterday, but this is not the case. I know that I don't have a deep relationship with His Majesty the Pope, so I really can't understand why.
His Majesty the Pope wants to perjure myself." Lin Zhiming said.
"Because I believe you are not the murderer," the Pope said.
"Why do you think so firmly?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"There is divine guidance in the dark," the pope said.
Lin Zhiming frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't like these godly words, but since the Pope said so, he could only express his agreement.
"Your Majesty the Pope, you should know that you were taking great risks to testify for me under such circumstances. Even if you determined that I was not the murderer, I don't think you would have to personally testify for me, right?" Lin
Zhiming said.
The Pope smiled and said, "As I said when I first met you, I want to make friends with you."
This was not the first time that Lin Zhiming heard the Pope say this, because the Pope said the same thing just yesterday. Although he was surprised at that time, he could understand it to some extent, but now that the Pope said this, he did not understand it. If not
When this happened, it was worth spending some time to make friends. But now that this happened, you have to take risks when making friends. In the end, the Pope still said that he wanted to make friends with himself.
Then the question arises, what virtues and abilities do you have, so that you can let the Pope take risks to make friends with you?
"Your Majesty the Pope, let's not talk behind the scenes. If there is anything you want me to do for you, or if you want to get something from me, just tell me. I do owe you this matter today.
Just a favor, I will definitely help you if I can help you!" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"Actually, you don't have to think about things too complicated. My relationship with you may not be because I want something from you, but it may just be because we have a common enemy." The Pope smiled.
Common enemy?
The first thing Lin Zhiming thought of was the Tree of Life, because the Pope himself refused fruit juice and even asked believers not to use fruit juice.
But then I thought about it, the Tree of Life is at least on the surface now. For the Holy See of Light, the Tree of Life is no longer qualified to be their enemy. In this case, it is even less likely that the Pope will come because of the Tree of Life.
Befriended him.
If it’s not the tree of life, then who is it?
At this moment, three words suddenly appeared in Lin Zhiming's mind.
F!
Lin Zhiming's pupils shrank slightly and he asked tentatively, "The common enemy you mentioned is the Illuminati?"
The Pope smiled and said, "There can only be one kind of light in this world, and that is the light of God."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiming already understood what the Pope meant. He smiled and said, "I think so too, but His Majesty the Pope, when has the Illuminati... ever offended our Holy See?"
Our Holy See?
When the Pope heard these words, the smile on his face was as bright as a flower. He adjusted his sitting posture and said with a smile, "Actually, you can't say when you have offended the Holy See. The Holy See is tolerant, no matter what.
No matter what organization in this world, there is no way to offend the Holy See."
"Oh... Then why does His Majesty the Pope think that the Illuminati is the enemy of our Holy See?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Do you know the origin of the Illuminati?" the Pope asked.
"I know this. The ancestors of Xu Zhenping and his family found a group of top people in the world at that time to form the Illuminati!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes, their members at that time included elites from all fields of society, including scientists, writers, artists, etc., but there was only one type of person missing," the pope said.
"What kind?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
"Pilgrim," said the pope.
"Oh?" Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows. He had been a member of the Illuminati for a while, but he really didn't notice that there were no followers among the founders of the Illuminati.
"Even now, there is still no believer in the Illuminati," the Pope said.
"Why?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
"Because the Illuminati has established science as its mainstay and abandoned theology since its inception, everyone who joins the Illuminati is not allowed to believe in any religion," the pope said.
"So that's it!!" Lin Zhiming nodded clearly.
"When the Illuminati was first established, they claimed to break the shackles of religion on people's minds. They believed that the existence of religion hindered the development of the world. They were committed to developing science and technology and using science to break theology. So from the beginning, the Illuminati
The Church stands on the opposite side of all religions, including the Holy See of Light, and the one who has been most affected is also the Holy See of Light," the Pope said.
"How were you affected?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It has been affected in many aspects, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words, but what I can tell you is that from the establishment of the Illuminati to the present, the number of believers in the Holy See of Light has been reduced by more than 30%. Hundreds of years ago, although the Holy See of Light
It is also independent of the secular world, but an order from the Pope is enough to command hundreds of millions of believers and even affect the course of the world. But after the emergence of the Illuminati, everything changed," the Pope said.
Hearing the Pope's words, Lin Zhiming's eyes flashed with excitement.
He finally understood why the Pope would go to such lengths to make friends with him. Originally, the Illuminati Church was the manipulator behind the world order. However, the Illuminati replaced him after the emergence of the Illuminati. Now, the real power of the Illuminati has been weakened to the extreme, leaving only some illusions.
If the Illuminati has his ally at this time, it will definitely greatly increase the Illuminati’s real power in the world!
