Mayn was stunned, and he stared at the old man in front of him, trying to see something from the other person's eyes.
However, there was a turbid inside.
His eyes are no longer as deep and intimidating as before, and can be astonishing as they used to.
He may have the wisdom taught by previous popes and the knowledge gained from the Holy Book of All Laws, but... nothing can resist time.
The Crown Prince was not joking, Mayn realized that his journey had come to the end.
My eyes became a little blurred.
He knelt down again, his forehead touching the ground, and this time the Crown did not call him up as usual, but waited for him to complete the whole set of movements before he spoke, "Come with me."
The guards who served helped the Pope to a cart and then pushed him towards the gate of the Secretariat.
Mayn followed closely behind, and the group left the Secret Temple and turned into a narrow tunnel.
On the smooth stone wall, a glowing crystal was embedded in each ten steps. Looking around, you can't see the end at first glance.
It took me a long time to walk before Mayn left the passage, and his vision suddenly became clear. His feet turned into a flat stone floor. He could see the edges and corners of the walls and the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. It was obvious that this secret passage connected to a basement.
We were underground in the cathedral of the Old Holy City, probably seeing his confusion. The Pope took the initiative to say that the structure here is exactly the same as the cathedral, but it was built upside down. I am used to calling it a reflection church.
Underground of the cathedral?Mayn said in surprise, I always thought there was no basement there at all.
There is indeed no, because the two do not connect, Oberlein smiled, only from the underground passage in the Secret Zone could come here.The roof is composed of several meters thick stone slabs and clay, and it is impossible to penetrate by ordinary means.
Why...to design like this?
In order to keep the secret, but not to completely bury the secret, he said that before any pope ascended the throne, he would come to the reflection church to witness the establishment, development and growth of the church, while keeping the church's goals in mind.
Defeat the devil.Mayn said in a solemn voice.
But Oberlein did not nod and sighed lightly, no, child, to win God's smile.
The Archbishop was stunned, what?
The Pope did not respond to him, but directed the guards to move forward.
Judging from the stairs and ramp directions, they should be climbing upwards.
Soon the group arrived at a magnificent hall. Mayn identified it based on the familiar structure around him that this should be the prayer room of the Reflection Church.
The thick wooden door was slowly pushed open, making a squeaking sound.
Although it seems that the Pope hasn't visited the hall for a long time, he doesn't smell the dust... Obviously there has been people in charge of cleaning here.
They can only send me here, and you will push me in next.Oberlean said.
Yes, the crown.Mayn took the handle and pushed the pope into the prayer room. The wooden door behind him closed again, completely isolating the light of the torch.
Now, only the soft light emitted by the yellow crystals in the room is the same as the secret arrangement, which is evenly embedded on both sides of the wall, but the difference is that there is a huge portrait hanging above the crystals. He vaguely remembers that the frame should be exactly the opening of the window of the prayer room on the ground.
The contents of the portraits are similar, they are all busts of characters. They are wearing gorgeous robes, full of energy, and their eyes are full of spirit, as if they are staring at every visitor walking into the prayer room.
In it, Mayn suddenly saw that he was almost like a real person in the portrait of Oberlein's crown, staring at him and smiling.
This strange feeling made him shudder and goose bumps appeared on his back.
Ah, you saw me.The Pope probably sensed the bishop's emotional changes. This painting was completed half a year ago. At that time, I was not as old as I am now, so I should at least look better when I painted it.But it should have been hung after I died. He looked at it carefully and I was still too impatient and wanted to see what it would look like if I hung it on it earlier.
Crown, are these... Mayn felt his throat dry.
Yes, they are all great pioneers, and have served as the Pope's crown. He whispered, "Continue to move forward, I will introduce you one by one."
The Archbishop listened to the brief description of Oberlein's crown and looked at the portraits, although he knew that they were the supreme leaders of the church, the inexplicable strangeness still lingered in his heart.
The characters in the painting are too realistic, and he can't imagine what techniques and dyes the painter should use to portray such a bust.
With the not-so-bright yellow light, as we walked far, the upper part of these portraits would gradually disappear into the darkness, leaving only half of the faces grinning at him.
Halfway through the hall, Mayn noticed that the character in the portrait became a woman.
They have different appearances and different clothes, but they are all called beautiful and charming. Such outstanding appearances rarely appear on mortal faces. The bishop is not unfamiliar with this, but because of this, he feels extremely confused and surprised.
Oberlein seemed to have no response and still quietly introduced their names, tenure and achievements.
These people are also popes of the church.
The prayer room soon came to an end.
Facing the central aisle in the hall is a full-body portrait that occupies the entire wall.It hangs behind the prayer table and is surrounded by glowing crystals, so the picture is clearer.
Mayn swallowed and looked at the person in the painting.
The moment his eyes fell on the painting, he suddenly felt his heart jumping violently. What a wonderful woman he was. Apart from this word, it was difficult for him to find other words to describe the other person.
She has both the charm of a woman and the fortitude of a man. Both are natural and do not conflict at the same time.
The red hair was like a burning flame, and the sword in his hand was the frost that was quenching out.
She stood with a sword, her eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes looked down in front, her thin lips were closed, and she was powerful without anger.
Under those sharp eyes, Mayn seemed to feel a surge of pressure, which made him almost unable to help but kneel down in front of the woman.
Under the Crown, this is...
He turned his head with difficulty, but found that Oberlean had already kneeled down.
She is the first pope, above the extraordinary, Akalis.At the same time, she also has a nickname of the Witch King.
Mayn felt a sudden thunder in his heart. His previous guess was indeed completely correct. The series of popes in the early days of the church were witches!
Why would the creator of the church be a witch?
Kneel down to greet her, child, I will let you see everything you want to know afterwards.
However, there was a turbid inside.
His eyes are no longer as deep and intimidating as before, and can be astonishing as they used to.
He may have the wisdom taught by previous popes and the knowledge gained from the Holy Book of All Laws, but... nothing can resist time.
