Chapter 378 The Holy See

Half a month later.

In a splendid palace somewhere in the Vatican.

The pope with white hair and beard stood alone under a huge cross, his eyes closed, praying silently.

The extremely devout faith seemed to resonate with the huge cross and inspired the power hidden in the cross.

Wisps of white holy light continued to escape from the cross.

Then it fell onto the devoutly praying figure below.

The pope, who was wearing a pure white robe, was illuminated by that holy halo, and his whole person seemed to be filled with a holy aura.

"Crunch~~~"

Suddenly, a slightly harsh sound broke the holy scene in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, the door carved with angel patterns was pushed open through a gap.

Not long after, a tall figure squeezed in through the gap in the door.

After seeing the miraculous scene in the hall, the tall figure who had just squeezed in from behind the door quickly and lightly closed the door full of angel reliefs and tapped on his chest and forehead. He made the sign of the cross, then bent down and knelt down on one knee in the direction of the Pope.

Although it was not the first time he saw it, every time he saw this scene, he was still deeply shocked by the miraculous scene in front of him.

The tall man felt that his arrival had disturbed this sacred scene, and his heart was filled with guilt.

I don’t know how long it took.

As the prayer ended, the miraculous scene in the hall slowly dissipated.

After losing the illumination of the holy light, this magnificent palace seemed to be much darker.

Even the Pope, who was full of holy aura just now, was now shrouded in the shadow cast by the huge cross.

After gently exhaling a breath of turbidity.

After the Pope made a virtual sign of the cross on his chest and forehead, he slowly opened his eyes.

Although he did not look back, the Pope seemed to know very clearly who was standing behind him, and said calmly: "Wendy, is our little angel here?"

After the Pope spoke, the tall man kneeling at the door, Wendy, bowed her head and responded:

"His Royal Highness Aylin arrived at Fiumicino Airport by plane an hour ago, and now he should have set foot on the territory of the Vatican."

"However, His Highness Aylin doesn't seem to want us to know about his arrival. Even the identity information used when taking the plane was disguised. If we hadn't been paying attention to His Highness Aylin's whereabouts and deployed a large number of manpower at the airport, , I’m afraid we all missed this news.”

"After Archbishop Ethan learned that His Highness Aylin had arrived at the airport, he rushed to the airport in person. However, according to the information from our people, Archbishop Ethan seemed to have just missed His Excellency Aylin. Now His Highness Aylin should have arrived. On to the Holy Land of the Vatican..."

Hearing this, the pope's slightly narrowed eyes opened slightly: "Are you here already?"

The Pope, who did not mention Archbishop Ethan at all, slowly turned around, walked out of the shadow cast by the huge cross, and then said to Wendy who was kneeling on one knee at the door:

"Let's go, take me to meet our little angel. After wandering outside for so long, it's time for him to go home..."

"As you command, Your Majesty the Pope."

After lowering her head in response, Wendy, who seemed to be filled with explosive power, stood up from the ground, and then pushed open the closed door again.

"Crunch~~~"

When the door closed again, Wendy and the Pope had already left the hall.

And when this empty hall fell into dead silence again, the huge shadow of the cross imprinted on the ground suddenly twisted and shook.

In the constant distortion, the shadow of the cross seemed to form a strange twisted smile with other shadows in the hall.

This moment.

Weird laughter seemed to resound in the huge hall.

Under that penetrating voice.

Even the golden light that fell through the glass into the hall seemed to suddenly become dimmer.

However, the next second.

The huge cross trembled slightly, and then a soft white light dispersed all the weird and gloomy atmosphere in the hall.

········

As an terrestrial theocracy, the Vatican City, which is completely controlled by the Holy See, is actually not very big.

It can even be said to be small and pitiful.

But even this city, which is smaller than an ordinary village or town, has a pivotal position in the world.

Even Alexander Pierce, who once held a high position, had to treat the cardinals who came out of the Holy See with courtesy.

certainly.

In Aylin's view, the reason why Alexander Pierce attaches so much importance to the Holy See is that, in addition to his countless terrifying followers around the world, the more important reason is that he is concerned about the extraordinary power of the Holy See itself.

Although the number is small, there are indeed some secrets unknown to ordinary people in the Holy See that once ruled half of the world.

After he and Gwen set foot in this city with a rich religious culture, Aylin's eyes quickly passed through the crowds of tourists and pilgrims attracted from all over the world, and discovered many hidden things in the Vatican. Extraordinary people in every corner.

It is different from the extraordinary beings that Aylin discovered before who were awakened by the light of the crimson moon and possess various abilities.

Aylin discovered these extraordinary beings in the Vatican.

They all have similar auras flowing around them.

This kind of aura is more similar to the magicians of Kama Taj than the kind of extraordinary person who suddenly awakens.

"Is this another extraordinary training system?"

Ai Lin, who whispered softly in his heart, was not too surprised by this discovery.

After all, when he happened to meet the red archbishop at Alexander Pierce's house, Aylin realized that the Holy See might control an unknown supernatural power system.

otherwise.

His lovely maid (Sadako) who has not yet had time to train her will not die so easily.

But this is actually not surprising.

Being able to use divine power to override royal power in the Middle Ages, it would be a bit strange if the Holy See itself did not have some special skills.

After recording all the extraordinary beings found around him calmly.

Because of the faith she had been influenced by since childhood, not long after entering the Vatican, Gwen pulled Aylin and eagerly walked into St. Peter's Basilica, which has a long history.

As a symbol of the Vatican.

St. Peter's Basilica has a long history and can also be said to be the largest church in the world.

At its most, it can even accommodate nearly 60,000 people praying at the same time.

And this is not only a holy place in the hearts of many pilgrims, but also a witness to history.

The numerous Renaissance art treasures preserved here are enough to amaze anyone who steps into this cathedral.

And the majestic and majestic unique design.

It makes everyone who enters St. Peter's Basilica feel their own insignificance and is silently and spiritually shocked.

Invisibly, it gave them a sense of awe.

Even his faith seems to have become a little more pious.

Um.

Although Aylin does not believe in the so-called God.

But this St. Peter's Cathedral gave Aylin a lot of inspiration in the use of spiritual power.

Not long after Aylin and Gwen entered St. Peter's Cathedral.

The Pope in a white robe, escorted by a group of people, also appeared in St. Peter's Basilica.

As soon as Pope Pu appeared in his white robe, he attracted the attention of countless people.

The Pope always has a kind smile on his face. Although people can't help but feel friendly and want to get close to him, the tall and powerful Vatican knights guarding the Pope are very good. It blocks those who want to get closer and avoids crowd congestion.

The craze caused by the Pope's arrival quickly attracted the attention of Aylin and Gwen.

Listening to the chatter from the surrounding crowd.

As well as the Pope and his entourage who were constantly approaching them.

Gwen pulled Aylin, and then whispered in Aylin's ear: "Do you think the Pope came here because of us? But we have obviously made a disguise."

Because when he was traveling around the world, the madness that arose after Aylin's identity was discovered.

Before setting foot in the Vatican this time, Gwen and Aylin made some disguises to hide their true appearance.

Even the information used to board the plane was temporary information obtained by Aylin.

Unexpectedly, not long after he and Aylin entered the Vatican, the Pope, who usually rarely showed up, appeared.

Could this be a coincidence?

Obviously, neither Aelin nor Gwen think so.

Therefore, after hearing the whisper in his ears, Aylin chuckled and said: "Of course it's because of us. Although the Vatican is not big, the energy possessed by the Holy See is not small at all. On their territory, we Isn’t it normal to be discovered?”

"After all, strictly speaking, they have been waiting for us for more than half a month. Maybe they have been waiting for us for a long time?"

"ah!"

Hearing this, Gwen suddenly opened her eyes in surprise.

That way seemed to say, since you knew that I was waiting impatiently, why didn't you bring me here earlier?

Without waiting for Aelin's answer.

The Pope and his party not far away had already passed through the crowd and walked directly in front of Aylin and the others.

In the slightly puzzled eyes of the people around him.

"Welcome home."

The pope with white beard and hair showed a kind smile on his face, and then opened his arms to Aylin.

Looking at the pope who opened his arms as if he wanted to hug him, Aylin shook his head slightly, and then took the initiative to extend a hand.

Feel sorry!

He wasn't in the habit of hugging a bad old man.

Even if embracing this bad old man is considered a great honor by countless people.

It was as if he understood Aylin's meaning.

The kind smile on the Pope's face did not change at all. Instead, he followed Aylin's wishes, lowered his hands that wanted to hug Aylin slightly, and then held them together on Aylin's stretched out right hand.

"Welcome home, my angel."

········

While Arryn shook hands with the Pope.

The group of knights who were originally guarding the Pope put their hands on their chests and bent down to show their high respect to Aylin.

When this scene fell into the surrounding crowd.

The surrounding crowd, which had already attracted all the attention of the Pope and his entourage, suddenly burst into a roar.

"Who is that guy with sunglasses? Why is His Holiness the Pope so enthusiastic about him, and why do those Vatican knights around him salute him?"

"I don't know. Anyway, when a president of a country visited the Vatican before, I didn't see those Vatican knights salute him."

"Wait, didn't you hear what the Pope said just now? Angel, the Pope just said angel! Can't you idiots guess who that person is?"

"Angel, is he the angel who appeared twice in New York and saved countless people?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be except that angel? I just checked it on the Internet. The girl wearing sunglasses next to him is Gwen Stacy, the lover of the little angel."

"Ah? Such a big hat and sunglasses cover two-thirds of the face. How did you see it?"

"·······"

After the New York War, Tony Stark broke the news, and the true identity of the six-winged angel was no longer a secret.

Although Ailin rarely appeared in the public eye after that, Ailin's various information was still dug up by countless people.

Even his girlfriend Gwen Stacy was exposed by Ailin's classmates.

Tourists who can visit St. Peter's Basilica are basically believers of God.

They were already extremely concerned about Ailin, the angel on earth, and they quickly guessed Ailin's identity from the discussions of the people around them.

"God, I actually saw a living angel..."

In the unstoppable exclamation, the eyes of the people around Ailin instantly became hot.

Countless fanatics who came to St. Peter's Basilica for pilgrimage were even more excited and burst into tears, and they wanted to rush over and kiss Ailin's toes.

········

In the increasingly loud noise around.

The knights of the Church who had saluted Ailin became nervous instantly.

They were afraid that the increasingly excited people around them would do something irrational under the influence of fanatical emotions.

After also noticing the increasingly intense enthusiasm of the people around him.

Ailin's eyebrows knitted, and then a powerful spiritual force quickly spread out with Ailin's body as the center.

This spiritual force seemed to have a strong infectious power, and quickly calmed the rapidly rising, excited and manic emotions of the people around him.

It seemed that everyone cut off their troubles at this moment, and their hearts gained unprecedented peace.

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of peace spread among the people around.

In this peaceful atmosphere, many people couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on their faces.

"This is..."
