Chapter 658

"The Pope is also a saint?" Dak asked with a stir in his heart.

Compared with the more low-key Chief Archbishop, he was more familiar with the Pope, but it was the first time he knew that he was a "saint".

The so-called "saint" is a general term for special people among humans who have awakened the blood of the gods.

Alvette and Principal Arte are both "saints".

They also gained powerful power and long life because of this.

But the Pope in Dak's impression is an old man who looks almost the same as the Archbishop.

This significant difference means that there must be a secret.

But Eve does not know this internal secret.

Instead, Hephis Doragon spoke up: "Although the Pope is also a saint, he is not born a saint, but a saint made by man. In the Holy Church, it is also called "God-made." "

"Man-made, God-made?" Dak couldn't help but frowned, "What is the difference between a natural saint and a man-made saint?"

Hephis talked freely: "Man-made saints are divided into different levels according to the level of the divine bloodline and the compatibility of the bloodline recipient. Only the highest level of man-made saints can reach the level of natural saints.

And that is only limited to strength. Not only do they not have a long life like natural saints.

On the contrary, their life span will be shortened because of the forced implantation of divine bloodline in the human body. Therefore, the Pope of the Holy Church generally does not live long."

"Not long again..."

Dak couldn't help but roll his eyes.

As the saying goes, there is gain and loss.

Man-made saints can be regarded as the category of "alchemy".

And the most important thing about "alchemy" is the "principle of equivalent exchange".

But the price of man-made saints is actually far more than shortened life.

But no one cared.

…

In St. Louis Square.

With the appearance of the chief archbishop, the Holy Church finally began to act.

The golden armored paladins who came with the team formed an array around the four pillars, forming the innermost line of defense.

The archbishop slowly walked up the giant stone steps and came to the altar.

However, when people thought he was going to make a big move, the archbishop knelt in front of the altar, clasped his hands together, and prayed like the priests.

However, as his prayers became louder and louder, the gems on the corners of the altar lit up, and circles of magic power fluctuations emanated from the altar.

Those magic powers penetrated into the air, causing the surrounding environment to change imperceptibly.

When people reacted, the ten-mile radius centered on St. Louis Square was actually covered by a barrier!

Although this barrier only raised a circle of light walls at the edge of the ten-mile radius without any barrier effect, it still caused an uproar.

The people who happened to be near the edge instinctively ran away after seeing the circle of light wall, and then they were surprised to find that the barrier seemed to be just a circle of light effect.

People hesitated, some people decisively chose not to wade into the muddy water, while others still entered and spread the news quickly.

Not long after, Yilin and others in the teahouse also learned about this.

And Yilin knew it, so of course Dak knew it too.

He couldn't help but ask, "What preparatory work is this Archbishop Caleb Norris doing?"

Professor Sylph's face darkened slightly, and she said to him, "Do you remember the ceremony venue we set up in the academy?"

Dak's mind moved, and he quickly said, "You mean... the star barrier set up by Professor Mitia?"

Professor Sylph said in a deep voice, "The most basic condition for ritual refining is to create an environment suitable for the ceremony. Caleb Norris is probably adjusting the overall environment."

Professor Kazer was surprised and said, "Sylph, if this is according to what you said, does the Holy Church want to perform ritual refining? Is this the method of execution they thought of?"

Professor Sylph was silent for a moment: "Who knows?"

Professor Kazer couldn't help but shut up and shook his head. After all, the Holy Church could not execute the Demon King at all, because they only had the shell of a corpse shed by the Demon King.

But what the Holy Church is doing now does seem to be preparing for the ritual refining.

"Maybe they have some other purpose?" Kazer said.

"Wait, what's the other purpose?" Little Lily listened for a long time, still confused, "Why can't I understand what you said at all, do you have something fun that you didn't take me with you?"

"Hahaha." Professor Kazel laughed dryly, thinking that you didn't take me with you.

"Then professor." Dak said worriedly, "Since the Holy Church may want to start the ritual, shouldn't you exit the barrier now?"

Professor Kazel frowned slightly and said, "That's the truth, there's no need to take unnecessary risks."

But Professor Sylph shook her head and said, "I want to keep watching. As for the ritual, don't worry about it."

Then she took out a magic card from the card pack, placed it face down in the middle of the table, then stretched out her finger and pointed at the magic card, chanting the spell.

Three seconds later, the magic card was instantly activated.

A halo that ordinary people couldn't see suddenly expanded, forming a ball with a diameter of about three meters, surrounding all four of them.

The special factors that permeated into the air were all pushed away by the ball, making this area completely out of the ritual environment.

"This is the "area ban", which can define an area that is not affected by factors such as the venue and the barrier." Professor Sylph said lightly.

...

Almost at the same time, Archbishop Caleb Norris on the altar moved his eyebrows and opened his eyes a little.

But he quickly closed them again and continued to maintain the operation of the barrier.

There are many people who use similar secret methods to avoid the influence of the ritual.

In his "field of vision", bubbles are appearing one after another at a very fast speed within the giant barrier with a radius of ten miles.

And those who use the secret method are all in these bubbles.

There are many people.

But compared to the entire crowd attracted by the "Devil King Execution Ceremony", it is only a small group that is harmless.

However, this small poke cannot be ignored.

He just pursed his lips, and the Holy Church deployment mixed in the crowd immediately understood the location of the bubbles, and then approached them quietly in a group of three.

He did not contact them, but only observed and recorded them at a distance.

Although the Holy Church seemed to have done nothing, it had actually already started to act.

The entire area within a radius of ten miles was already full of Holy Church spies.

At this time, the side effects of the barrier were used appropriately to mark out some unidentifiable dangerous objects and monitor them in all aspects.

However, his actions did not escape the observation of some people.

…

Professor Sylph discovered that she and others had been targeted only after launching the "regional ban" - in fact, they had been targeted all along, but this time there were more people.

"So that's how it is. This barrier has this function."

Professor Sylph understood, but did not take any action.

Just monitor it, you can't keep it from people, right?

She didn't care.

But Hephis in the living room was lucky.

"Fortunately, I didn't go there."

She patted her bumpy heart, picked up the fruit and took a bite, her mouth full of juice.

With this level of monitoring, she would probably be exposed in an instant.

At that time, she would face the Holy Church's encirclement again.

…

The entire area around St. Louis Square underwent subtle changes after the barrier was deployed.

Some people hurriedly retreated, some were targeted, but some still blended perfectly into the crowd without showing any sense of existence.

Similarly, there were people whose whereabouts were so secretive that even the archbishop could not detect them.

The entire ceremony took this as the basis and developed rapidly.

After all, only a small number of people retreated, and the vast majority of people chose to continue watching, and a steady stream of new people poured into the barrier.

Under the silent influence of the barrier, people's emotions began to gradually change.

On a small building located north of St. Louis Square, Yalvette and Claire raised their glasses and drank, both smiling.

They have gradually realized what the Holy Church wants to do!

"I never thought that the Holy Church could come up with such an idea to fool the world. If I hadn't known that the Demon King had escaped earlier, I'm afraid even you and I would be fooled." Yalvette put down the teacup and sighed.

Claire closed her eyes slightly, letting her vision rise to the sky, looking down from a very high place.

In just a moment, she saw all the small things within the ten-mile barrier clearly.

A huge amount of information poured into her brain in an instant, but with the help of the magic card "Hive Brain", it was quickly sorted into clear information, and then digested and absorbed.

Claire opened her eyes slightly and smiled: "I have to say, this is indeed a good method. Not only can it deceive the demon king about his escape, but it can also be used to carry out a big purge. Although those demon remnants are not enough evidence, if they are given some more time to develop..."

Alvit nodded: "The world is developing too fast, as if hundreds of years of progress have been compressed into ten years in an instant. If it weren't for personal experience, who could imagine such a scene?"

"Crisis and opportunity have always coexisted." Claire shook her head and sighed, "It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Regardless of whether you believe that the Holy Church can completely kill the demon king, the group of people who believe that the demon king is not dead The remnants of the demon clan who regard the incident as the last straw will rush in like moths to a flame. Even if they are burned to death by the flames, they will not stop. "

Yalvette said: "But in general, the Holy Church needs to be able to really make something. Otherwise, if it can't fool people, it can only catch some small fish and shrimps. "

Claire smiled: "But now it seems that they may be able to do well."

Yalvette also smiled: "I hope that if the crocodile can really be fished out of the swamp, it will be quieter in the future."

…

When the clock turned a full circle again, Archbishop Caleb Norris stopped chanting and slowly stood up from the edge of the altar.

He has completed the adjustment of the ritual environment.

Next, it is to welcome the Pope!

At this "historic" moment, the Holy Church certainly cannot appoint only one archbishop to preside over it.

From the beginning of discovering that the Demon King had escaped to the "Demon King Execution Ceremony" held today, there have been countless disputes unknown to outsiders.

They are not actually fully prepared.

But the time indicated in the plan had come, so it had to be carried out forcibly.

Today's "Demon King's Execution Ceremony" is a bet on the fate of the Holy Religion for the next hundred years. It can only succeed and not fail!

Archbishop Norris turned around and faced the crowd surrounding the square.

After only waiting for two minutes, several gilded carriages appeared from the sky again.

The same unicorn pulls the cart, and the same golden-armored paladin guards it.

When those carriages landed one after another, the greatest being of the Holy Religion today

Pope Francis St. Patrice walked out of the carriage at the front.

The Pope, who is only in his early fifties, looks very old.

But when he raised his head, the aura that shot straight into the sky like a sharp sword made his spirit completely change, and he truly had the demeanor of a pope.

His brows were stern, and he did not deliberately show affection.

As Erin's eyes shifted to the Pope, Dak also saw him in the projection, and then his eyes were involuntarily attracted to the staff in his hand.
