Chapter 718 Back to the starting point

Luke followed the clues and really came to Ami City.

This group of people was not stationed in the city of Ami, but not far from the city.

This is a place for troops that cannot enter the city at night to stay.

The Pope and his entourage came here secretly disguised as a caravan.

Luke observed carefully from the outside.

Two hundred paladins disguised themselves as bodyguards for the caravan.

Except for the Pope and a few followers, the rest are all archbishops or above.

11 cardinals and 18 archbishops.

The Holy See has taken out almost all of its assets.

After observing for a long time, Luke still didn't see Wanda.

The caravan was stationed in the wild, and everyone's whereabouts were obvious.

Luke even saw the Pope, but he didn't see Wanda.

But the Vatican's big fuss must be related to Wanda.

Luke had no choice but to be patient and follow them to observe.

Taking advantage of this time, Luke thought that they should not know that the five major kingdoms had united to force the Vatican to abdicate.

So Luke quietly returned to Ami City.

Find the person in charge here.

While this guy was sleeping, we searched his home and office as well.

After making sure that there was no connection with the Holy See, he woke up the third-level warlock.

After showing the token of the Warlock Guild, Luke arranged for him to set off immediately to contact the headquarters of the Warlock Guild.

The Warlock Guild has its own special way of contacting people.

Luke doesn't know magic and can't use this method of contact.

Just ask the head of the local Warlock Guild to make the contact.

This magical communication method can only transmit very little information.

So Luke only asked him to send a few words: Ami City, Pope.

that's enough.

The Warlock Guild will definitely send someone.

The organizational structure of the Vatican is very strange.

In most cases, the division is based on strength, but the Pope is an exception.

The Pope is just an ordinary person, without any divine power or warlock bloodline.

Before the old pope dies, the pope selection ceremony will begin.

What? You mean accidental death?

It’s okay, the church has standard procedures.

Whether the old Pope is dead or not, dies accidentally or by euthanasia, it is the same.

It’s a bit like the reincarnation of a living Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism.

The Holy See has special holy vessels that will guide the direction of finding the Pope's successor.

After finding the person, he was brought back to the Vatican, where he studied while several cardinals presided over daily affairs.

Until the Pope can rule the country himself.

The cardinals are powerful, so why don’t they rebel?

Because in the Vatican, the Pope is not the big boss, the real big boss is God.

There have been cardinals who have rebelled in the history of the Vatican.

However, the Pope, despite being in a mortal body, can take back their divine powers.

Make those bishops with divine power lose their power.

For someone who has long relied on power, this is more painful than killing him.

From a high and mighty bishop, he suddenly became an ordinary person.

No bishop wants to experience this gap.

As a result, no one showed any disrespect to this Pope in a mortal body.

After sending the message to the Warlock Guild, Luke continued to monitor the Pope and his group.

This group of people didn't even enter Ami City, but went straight to the Red Mist Forest.

Luke looked at the direction they were heading, and it was indeed the mountain where he and Wanda had come to this world.

After estimating the team's progress, it should take another two days to reach the mountain.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the city of Ami, the Pope left behind a group of paladins.

He set out on horseback with many bishops.

Moreover, no one was talking about it.

It was as if all these arrangements had been rehearsed in advance.

Luke could only speed up and rush to the mountain where he had come from.

In less than half a day, Luke arrived here.

To Luke's surprise, there were more masters here.

All cardinals, 13 of them.

As Luke crept into the cave, his hunch was indeed correct.

The group of people outside Ami City were deliberately leading him in another direction.

But what they didn't know was that Luke was so impressed by the place that they couldn't lure him away.

That pope out there is a fake.

The real Pope actually arrived here ahead of time.

Thirteen cardinals and a man who looked like the Pope gathered around a stone altar.

On the altar, there lay Wanda, dressed in white church clothing.

Wanda was still in a coma and had no reaction at all.

An unknown ceremony has been initiated, and a red magic circle lights up under the feet of the 13 cardinals and the Pope.

Everyone was chanting something in a low voice.

Seeing this situation, Luke naturally couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Whatever this ceremony was, it didn't feel like a proper ceremony.

Luke took out a rifle from the space and started shooting.

The bishops fell without any reaction.

But the last Pope turned around and saw Luke without any fear.

After Luke fired the gun, this guy actually showed a weird smile.

The blood of bishops and popes was shed.

The blood slowly gathered along the magic circle.

Luke stepped forward to pick Wanda up.

But it was bounced away by an invisible energy shield.

Wanda, who was standing nearby, had a painful expression on her face.

Luke remained calm at this time.

Blow up the exit first to prevent the remaining people from the Vatican from disturbing us.

Now Luke couldn't care less.

"Come out, BT."

"Pilot, it's nice to see you again."

"BT, help me blow up the entrance to the cave to prevent people outside from coming in."

"Okay, the sound may be a bit loud, please cover your ears."

Luke waved his hand.

"Stay away from this energy shield."

"receive."

BT walked out along the passage.

Luke activated his skills and began to attack the energy shield with all his strength.

Soon after, several loud noises were heard outside.

BT must have successfully blown up the channel.

But Luke's frantic attacks on the energy shield had little effect.

BT came up behind Luke.

"Pilot, you should fly me and only use more advanced weapons to break the shield."

Luke stopped and turned to look at BT.

"Will it hurt the people inside?"

BT moved its big lightbulb-like eyes and scanned around.

"According to analysis, the strength of the energy shield is still 98%. We can control the attack force when it is about to be broken..."

"Okay, let's do as you say." Without waiting for BT to finish speaking, Luke agreed to BT's plan.

BT opened the cockpit door on his chest.

"Welcome back, Pilot."

Luke jumped into the cockpit and the hatch closed.

At this moment, he has become one with BT.

There is no need for any operating equipment at all, it is purely a connection of consciousness.

"BT, prepare the energy cannon."

"Okay, Pilot, please speak the voice command."

Luke didn't care about being embarrassed since there was no one else here.

So, in the cockpit, Luke shouted out loudly:

"Sera Jon~"

The spear in BT's hand instantly turned into a thicker and longer cannon - an 88mm anti-all energy cannon...

"Fire~"
