"This is the Holy City..."

Looking at the pure white city in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Although Fang Zheng had been to many worlds and seen many magnificent buildings, the capital of the Holy Kingdom still made him feel bright.

Fang Zheng had heard rumors about the capital of the Holy Kingdom more than once. Whether it was Shi Dong, Bishop Karl, or even ordinary paladins, they had all told him about the Holy City during their conversations. Bishop Karl had once proudly said to Fang Zheng, "As long as you go to the Holy City, you will know that it is the most beautiful city in the world."

Now it seems that Bishop Karl's confidence is not without reason.

Looking down from the sky, the entire holy city looks like a blooming white lotus. The pure white walls intertwine with each other to form the edges of the "petals", spreading out in all directions.

“It’s really beautiful.”

What impressed Fang Zheng was not only the planning of the Holy City, but also its architectural structure. As mentioned before, the city looked like a blooming white lotus. This was not just a description of its appearance, but also a description of its architecture. In the entire Holy City, the "petals" laid flat on the outside were residential buildings. And as they moved inward, these "petals" naturally stood up, forming layers of tall buildings with curved shapes. And in the center of the entire city was the main building of the Holy City, which looked like the heart of a flower. It was composed of a golden edge and a group of white churches, and it looked particularly dazzling from a distance.

No wonder the people of the Holy Kingdom are so proud when they talk about the Holy City. Even Fang Zheng couldn't help but marvel at the city when he saw it. This is not only because the city itself is ingenious, but also because all of this ingenuity was created by humans with their own hands... When you realize this, you will be even more shocked when you see this city again.

"The area where we are docked is at the airport terminal. I remember Bishop Karl said that he would send someone to guide us... Oh, it seems that they have already arrived."

As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, a group of knights wearing armor and riding Pegasus appeared on the screen in front of him. They were obviously shocked when they saw the two giant warships in front of them, but they soon regained their composure. The leading knight made a gesture to Fang Zheng, then turned and flew to the other side.

"Follow them."

The airport of the Holy City is located on the west side of the city, which seems to be in the middle of the commercial district and the noble district. The arrival of the two battleships obviously caused a lot of excitement among the people in the city. Although the Holy City is indeed a gorgeous and amazing city, it is only a city built on the ground after all. When facing the huge metal ships flying in the sky, it still lacks enough confidence.

Compared to the Golden Bay, the airport in the Holy City was obviously much more luxurious. When Fang Zheng left the warship and walked onto the platform of the airport, he could even see the spotless clean floor under his feet and the gorgeous patterns carved on it.

"Welcome to the Holy City, Mr. Fang Zheng."

The person walking towards him was none other than Bishop Karl, and behind him were several girls and knights in priest robes. Fang Zheng glanced around casually, but didn't see any trace of Fina. It seemed that these two people were not from the same system.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Bishop. I haven't seen you for a while."

Fang Zheng also bowed to Karl, and Bishop Karl smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Fang Zheng, we would also like to thank you and your subordinates for everything you have done to protect order... Well, please follow me. The banquet will start at nine o'clock in the evening. Before that, His Holiness the Pope wants to meet with you."

"Of course."

Hearing Bishop Karl's invitation, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Bishop Karl then smiled and gestured, then walked to Fang Zheng's side, and the two walked forward together.

"What's wrong? Have you received any information?"

When walking down the stairs, Bishop Karl did not look back, but his voice clearly appeared in Fang Zheng's ears. Although Bishop Karl's question was a bit incoherent, Fang Zheng still understood what he meant. After all, before attending the party, he also told Bishop Karl the number of people he brought with him. If it were someone else, they might not have any idea. But as soon as Bishop Karl saw the list, he would notice the problem.

"Just some little hunches. I hope there won't be any trouble."

"I see."

Bishop Karl knew that Fang Zheng was not only a Paladin, but also a prophecy mage. You know, it was he who introduced Fang Zheng to the mentor. As an old friend of the muscle mage, Bishop Karl was not surprised by the prophecy mage's mysterious behavior.

"I'll give orders to the others to stay alert in the surroundings and report any abnormalities immediately."

Bishop Karl didn't want Fang Zheng to get into trouble in the Holy City. Even if it was just Fang Zheng's illusion, he didn't dare to take the risk. After all, Bishop Karl knew very well that if Fang Zheng got into trouble in the Holy City, it would not be a good thing given the current situation. In order to ease or even repair the relationship between the two sides, the Temple also took advantage of the recovery of the North to make great efforts to publicize the "glorious deeds" of Fang Zheng, the Holy Spirit Knight, in the country, basically treating him as a "guardian of order".

If Fang Zheng was attacked in the Holy City, the problem would not be as simple as just one or two points. It might be a big disaster!

"Don't be so nervous, it's just in case, but if anything goes wrong... I hope you can investigate it properly."

"Of course, we would do the same even without your advice, Lord Fang Zheng."

Karl nodded and agreed without hesitation. Apart from anything else, this was the capital of the Holy Kingdom, and the banquet was held in the Holy Light Church. It was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Holy Kingdom. If Fang Zheng was attacked there, then His Majesty the Pope and the Supreme Bishop might also be attacked someday!

This kind of dangerous element must be tracked down to the end!

When Fang Zheng followed Bishop Karl out of the airport, he saw that martial law had been imposed outside. There were fully armed soldiers everywhere, as well as some men and women in aristocratic clothing. After seeing Fang Zheng, many people looked at him respectfully. None of the various pretentious and slapping incidents that Fang Zheng had imagined happened, and no one came to look down on him - this was also normal. After all, Fang Zheng came on a battleship, and he was wearing luxurious and neat clothes. In addition, Bishop Karl was leading him. Unless he was insane, who would be so blind as to cause trouble for him?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly felt that it was reasonable for the protagonist in the online article he had read to be discriminated against when attending a banquet. After all, it was a banquet, and one should always give the host a little respect. It is your own business if you look down on luxury cars and feel uncomfortable wearing nice clothes, but in formal occasions, you still have to be polite, right?

You came to the hotel to attend the banquet in a T-shirt and took a taxi, and you blame the waiter at the door for being mean? It must be that no one can stop Hong Qigong's dog-beating stick technique, otherwise you would have been kicked out of the door long ago.

"Bishop Karl."

Just as Fang Zheng was walking and daydreaming about the unreality of the pretentious routines in online articles, suddenly, an old voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts. Fang Zheng looked up and saw a tall and thin old man in a white bishop's robe holding a scepter and walking towards them slowly. When Bishop Karl saw the old man coming, he hurriedly stopped and lowered his head.

"The Supreme Bishop..."

"No need to be so polite."

In response to Bishop Karl's salute, the Supreme Bishop raised his hand, motioning Bishop Karl to raise his head. Then he looked at Fang Zheng, his somewhat cloudy blue eyes gazing at him with a resolute look.

"You must be Lord Fang Zheng, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I am finally able to meet you. I am Monbat, the Supreme Bishop of the Temple."

"Hello, Your Excellency the Supreme Bishop."

Fang Zheng also stretched out his hand and placed it on his chest, performing the etiquette of a paladin. Seeing Fang Zheng saluting, a hint of a smile appeared on the old man's originally serious face.

"Don't salute me, Master Fang Zheng. You are a Holy Spirit Knight. According to the rules of the Temple, Holy Spirit Knights do not need to salute anyone other than the Pope."

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of this rule."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned, while the old man chuckled.

"After all, there are no Holy Spirit Knights in the Temple now... But to put it bluntly, these are all things that we mortals decided on our own initiative, so there is no need to take them too seriously. I have something else to do and I have to leave first. See you at the banquet."

After saying this, the Supreme Bishop nodded at Fang Zheng, then passed by them and walked towards the end of the corridor.

After watching the Supreme Bishop's back disappear, Fang Zheng turned around and looked at Bishop Karl beside him.

"Your High Bishop doesn't seem to like me very much."

Although the two sides had only exchanged a few words just now, Fang Zheng was not a fool. The other party's tone clearly showed that he was keeping a distance from him. If Fang Zheng still couldn't sense that the other party didn't welcome him, he would be a real idiot.

"There are some conflicts between the Supreme Bishop and His Holiness the Pope on certain matters."

Bishop Karl obviously didn't know what to say and could only mention it vaguely.

"His Holiness the Pope is very optimistic about you, but the Supreme Bishop has reservations about you. After all... you are not from the Holy Kingdom..."

A conflict between religion and the state? But that's normal.

After hearing what Bishop Karl said, Fang Zheng didn't say anything else. After all, with his current status and strength, he no longer needed to... wait, he still had to worry a little.

At least give me some face.

“It’s right here.”

Led by Bishop Karl, the two soon arrived at the gate at the end of the corridor, and then Bishop Karl made an inviting gesture to Fang Zheng.

"His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you inside."
