Chapter 102 Forged Pope's Order
Outside the East Church.
Bailey looked at the closed church door and sighed deeply.
"Old Bailey, don't think about that unlucky kid."
The other guards laughed at him.
"Hey." Bailey shook his head vigorously, with a fleeting regret on his wrinkled face. "What a good young man, maybe he can..."
"Forget it!"
Before Bailey finished speaking, the guard on the side interrupted him with a sneer: "With such a temper, what position can he hold?"
"Could you be the chief guard of Varela City?"
"This is just a joke!"
Listening to the laughter coming from all around, Bailey's wrinkled and bearded face couldn't help but smile.
Yes, this is just a joke!
While laughing, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the East Church.
Suddenly.
The slightly trembling wrinkles on his face gradually solidified, and the hoarse laughter stopped abruptly.
"Old Bailey?"
The guards beside him noticed Bailey's abnormality and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong?"
"Oh my god, the church door..." Bailey swallowed his saliva, his pupils trembling slightly, "... opened."
The guards who were still sneering turned their heads and looked towards the direction of the East Church.
The next moment, the laughter around them quickly turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the air.
"This..."
Looking at the two figures walking out of the church door, Bailey murmured in a low, hoarse voice: "How is this possible?"
Like Bailey, the guards around him also widened their eyes and exclaimed.
Under their gaze, the priest in a black robe and Holt in bright silver armor actually left the East Church occupied by fanatics intact!
...
A few minutes later.
"Holt, you actually survived!"
Looking at Holt slowly walking to his side, Bailey's eyes were filled with a hint of surprise, and he exclaimed: "Goddess bless..."
Under the silver armor, Holt's mouth twitched slightly.
Don't say the goddess bless.
In the church, he even saw the incarnation of the goddess in the world. In Holt's opinion, with such divine power and the same face as the goddess...
How could this be a messenger of God?
This is clearly the incarnation of the goddess in the world! !
After realizing this, Holt chose to defect to the enemy in just a few minutes:
the church's behavior must have angered the goddess, otherwise, the kind and benevolent goddess would never be so angry!
Just as Holt was about to tell Bailey about what he saw and heard in the East Church, a strong arm in armor pushed him away.
Then, a familiar voice came from the side: "Old Bailey, be careful."
"I suspect he has surrendered to those fanatics!"
"Otherwise, how could those fanatics let him leave the East Church?!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar!
In an instant, the guards who were originally standing next to Holt took a few steps back and drew a clear line between themselves and Holt.
Under Holt's unbelievable eyes, Bailey also silently took a half step back after a moment of silence.
Under the bright silver helmet, Holt's face turned pale in an instant.
His lips trembled slightly, and he whispered, "But, but Priest Isa also..."
"She is a priest! She is a priest who is delivering messages for the Pope! Those believers naturally dare not do anything to her!" A sharp voice came from the guards, deeply piercing Holt's heart.
He wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. Although he didn't say it, he knew that the balance in his heart had already tipped towards the believers trapped in the East Church!
He stood alone outside the guards, looking blankly at the East Church not far away.
On the other side, Priest Isa, wearing a black robe, was walking towards the North Church.
Holt couldn't help but recall what Xu Huai said before letting him go:
"Let him go back."
"Let him see with his own eyes the darkness hidden in the city of Varela now."
He sighed silently and took a few steps back silently.
Could it be that this is the darkness that the Lord wants him to witness with his own eyes?
...
North Church.
Chen Fan, who returned to the room where the Pope was, put away the faint smile on his face and issued an order to Yi.
"One, issue a papal decree to the Wall of Sighs."
"Order to withdraw the guards of the Wall of Sighs."
"At the same time, inform the whole city that the goddess' oracle will be passed on to Xu Huai from now on as the Pope of Varela."
As the voice rang out, a thin arc of electricity appeared from the palm of the silver-white smart terminal, drew a perfect arc in the air, and then drilled into one of the damaged and broken cables.
The signal was transmitted rapidly in the cable, extending directly to the Wall of Sighs area at the edge of Varela City.
A few seconds later.
A sharp alarm sounded again tore the quiet atmosphere of the Wall of Sighs.
Under the astonished eyes of the guards in charge of the garrison mission, a figure wearing metal armor engraved with mysterious patterns staggered out from the guard point built inside the Wall of Sighs, and rushed towards the center of Varela City with heavy but fast steps.
From the footprints and heavy footsteps left by him, it can be judged that this unique guard has a pair of superior mechanical prosthetic legs!
Just when the other guards were confused, the alarm sounded again, and a guard wearing metal armor walked out of the guard post.
Compared with the former, the mysterious patterns on the armor of this guard were obviously much simpler.
"Emergency."
A dull voice came from the metal helmet with only a few narrow gaps: "All guards, go to the main church immediately!"
"Specific actions..."
"It depends on the situation."
After the guard threw down an ambiguous word, he stepped directly towards the center of Varela City.
...
Time passed by minute by minute.
Looking at the familiar companions returning to their previous postures, Holt sighed deeply and cast his eyes on the closed door of the East Church again.
Logically speaking, as the incarnation of the Lord in the world, Xu Huai did not need to hide in the church at all - she was completely able to deal with the guards around her by herself, and Holt believed from the bottom of her heart that she had this power.
Otherwise, how did they deal with those priests and bishops who had God's gifts?
It can't be relying on those fanatics, right?
What exactly did Xu Huai... or the Lord, want to do?
Holt's eyes were suddenly filled with confusion.
Suddenly,
the door of the East Church, which had been silent, moved again.
Just like before, it slowly opened a gap that could accommodate a single person passing through.
Then, under Holt's gaze, the gap that could only accommodate a single person passing through quickly expanded.
Finally, the door opened, and figures slowly walked out of it.
