Release that Witch Chapter 350: Inheritance (below)
Mayne froze, he stared at the old man in front of him, trying to see what was in the other's eyes.
However, it was cloudy inside.
His gaze is no longer as intimidating as ever, and he can pierce people's hearts. He may have the wisdom imparted by successive popes, and the knowledge obtained from the Sacred Law of All Laws, but ... everything will not pass the time.
Your Excellency is not joking, Mayne realizes that his journey has come to an end.
The eyes are a little fuzzy.
He knelt down again, his forehead touched the ground, and this time Your Excellency didn't call him up as usual, but only after he finished the full set of actions, he said, "You follow me."
The patron of the service holds the pope on a cart and pushes him towards the Pivotal Secret Area gate. Mayne followed closely behind, and the group left Pivotal Secret Temple and turned into a narrow tunnel. On the smooth stone wall, a glowing crystal stone was embedded every ten steps. Looking at it, there was no end to it.
I do n’t know how long it took before Mayne left the channel. The sight suddenly opened up. The foot became a flat stone slab floor. You can see the angular walls and the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Obviously this secret passage is connected. In a basement.
"We are underground of the old Holy City cathedral," probably seeing his confusion, and the pope said, "The structure here is exactly the same as the cathedral, but it was built upside down. I used to call it the reflection. Church. "
"underground of the cathedral?" Mayne was surprised, "I always thought there was no basement there."
"No, because the two are not connected," O'Brien smiled. "Only from the underground passage of Pivotal Secret Area can you come here. The roof is composed of several thick stone slab and clay, which cannot be cut by ordinary means. . "
"Why ... design this way?"
"In order to keep the secret, but not to bury the secret completely," he said, "before any pope takes the throne, he must come to the Reflection Church to witness the establishment, development, and growth of Church's, while keeping the Church's goal in mind in heart. "
"Beat Devil." Mayne uttered.
But O'Brien did not nod affirmatively, but sighed, "No, child, in order to win the smile of God."
Archbishop froze, "What?"
The Pope did not respond to him anymore, but directed the guard to move on. From the direction of the stairs and ramps, they should be climbing upwards. Soon the group came to a grand hall, and Mayne recognized from the familiar structure around it that it should be the prayer room of the Reflection Church.
The thick wooden door was slowly opened, making a squeaking noise. Although it seemed that the Pope hadn't patronized the hall for a long time, he didn't smell the dust ... Apparently someone had been responsible for cleaning and cleaning here.
"They can only send me here, and then you can push me in." O'Brien said.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Mayne took the handle and pushed the Pope into the prayer room. The wooden door behind it was closed again, completely blocking the light from the torch. Now, only the soft light -- emitted by the indoor yellow crystal stone is the same layout as secret passage. It is uniformly embedded on both sides of the wall, but the difference is that there is a huge portrait hanging above crystal stone. He vaguely remembers the frame. The location should be exactly the window opening of the prayer room on the ground.
The content of the portraits are almost the same. They are busts of people. They are dressed in gorgeous robes, shake their spirits, and have eyes. They seem to be staring at every visitor who enters the prayer room. And Mayne saw the portrait of Your Excellency O'Brien in -- in which he was almost like a real person, staring at himself with a smile. This weird feeling made him shudder and goose bumps came up on his back.
"Ah, you see me. "The pope probably sensed the bishop's emotional changes." This painting was completed half a year ago. At that time, I was not so old now. The painting should be at least a bit better. But it was supposed to be hung up after I died, "he watched carefully." I was really too anxious, and I wanted to see earlier what it would look like if I hung on it. " "
"Your Excellency, are these ..." Mayne felt his throat dry.
"Yes, they are all great pioneers, serving as His Excellency the Pope," he whispered, "Keep going, I will introduce you to one by one."
Archbishop Listening to the brief description of Your Excellency O'Brien, while looking at the portraits -- Although they knew that they were the top leaders of Church's, the inexplicable weirdness is still lingering in their hearts. The characters in the painting are too realistic. He can't imagine what kind of technique and dye the artist would use to paint such a bust. Coupled with the not-so-bright yellow light, and walking far, the upper half of these portraits will gradually disappear into the darkness, leaving only half-section holes to grin at him.
When walking halfway through the hall, Mayne noticed suddenly that the figure in the portrait became a woman.
They have different looks and different clothes, but they can be called beautiful --. Such outstanding appearance rarely appears on the face of mortals. The bishop is no stranger to this, but because of this, he Feeling extremely confused and surprised. Your Excellency O'Brien seemed to be unresponsive, still calmly introducing their names, terms and achievements.
These are also Church's Pope.
The prayer room quickly came to an end.
Front of the hallway is a full-length portrait that occupies the entire wall. After hanging on the prayer table, the surrounding area is full of luminous crystal stone, so the picture is more clear.
Mayne swallowed and looked at the person in the painting.
When the eyes fell on the painting, he suddenly felt that his heart was jumping -- gods. It was such an incredible woman. Except for this word, it was difficult for him to find other words to describe the other party. She has both the sweetness of a woman and the fortitude of a man. The two are perfectly natural, and there is no conflict at the same time. The red hair was like a burning flame, and the cold and wanton sword in his hand was the extinguished frost. She stood with a sword, her eyebrows raised slightly, her eyes looking down, her thin lips closed, and she was not angry. Under those sharp eyes, Mayne seemed to feel the pressure of an ups and downs, making him almost want to kneel in front of this woman.
"Your Excellency, this is ..."
He tilted his head hard, only to find that O'Brien was already on his knees.
"She is the first pope, Transcendent, Alice. At the same time, she also has the nickname -- Sorceress Queen."
Mayne felt a sudden jump in his heart. The previous guess was indeed correct. The series of popes in the early days of Church were all witch!
"Why is the founder of Church's also a witch?"
"Keep her in her knees, child, and I will show you everything you want to know afterwards."
