C344 Pope Patrick

Vatisn!

In this country, the power of the Pope represented everything!

The Pope was the incarnation of God in the hearts of all Heaven Lord believers. Every word and action represented God!

In the Vatisn Palace, in an elegant western-styled room, a golden-haired middle-aged man stood quietly in front of a classical wooden frame floor-to-ceiling window!

At this moment, the sound of hurried running could be heard from the corridor outside the door, breaking the silence inside.

The golden-haired middle-aged man seemed to have sensed something and turned around. His deep sapphire blue eyes were like two deep wells that could not be seen to the bottom. With a flash of divine light in his eyes, the golden-haired middle-aged man left the floor-to-ceiling window and walked towards a unique golden-yellow high-backed chair in the middle of the room.

"Duo Duo Duo!" Two soft knocks on the door.

"Justin, come in!" The blonde man turned around and said softly to the door. At the same time, when the door opened, the blonde man turned around and sat on the chair. Seeing the young man with brown braids rushing in through the door, the blond middle-aged man revealed a warm smile. "What is it that you are in such a hurry for? Speak slowly!" The blond middle-aged man seemed to have a very good temper. His every move and every word displayed a faint elegant style.

When the brown-haired youth saw the blond middle-aged man, he knelt down on one knee and respectfully said: "Paying respects to His Highness the Pope!"

The blond middle-aged man lightly nodded his head and smiled: "Stand up and speak!" This blond middle-aged man was the current Pope of the Church - Peter Patrick!

"Yes! His Highness the Pope!" The brown-haired youth, Justin, was covered in sweat. It was obvious that he was in a hurry.

He looked at Pontiff Patrick and said, "Your Highness, the Chief Judge you sent to New York, Adeles, has returned. He has also brought a group of seriously injured Blue Cardinal, including the cardinal Merkin."

"Oh? Then summon him to see me!" Patrick could vaguely tell that something was wrong from Justin's expression. He could not help but frown slightly.

"Yes,your Majesty. Adeles and the others have been waiting outside the palace for orders!" Justin bowed and said.

"Send them in!" Patrick's expression became serious. From Justin's words, he could tell that Adeles had encountered a big problem.

Justin retreated. Very quickly, the sound of several people's footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside the door. The footsteps were also very heavy.

"Your Majesty,chief Judge Adeles,cardinal Merkin, Blue Cardinal and Sommer have arrived." Justin's report came from outside the door.

"Let them in. Justin, you go back and rest first. I have something to tell you tomorrow." Patrick said straightforwardly.

The door opened and Adeles, Merkin, and Sommer walked in. Justin gently closed the door and left.

"Greetings,your Highness the Pope!" Adeles, Merkin, and Sommer all knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

Sommer, who saw the Pope for the first time, did not even dare to raise his head. His body under the blue robe was even trembling slightly.

"Get up!" Patrick said lightly.

"Thank you,your Highness the Pope!" The three of them stood up at the same time. Adeles stepped forward and bowed. "Your Highness the Pope,i have disobeyed your orders this time. Your Highness, please punish me!"

"Oh? What is the situation?" Patrick's gem-like eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Sommer quietly raised his head, wanting to see the Pope's face, but it happened to meet Patrick's eyes. He was so scared that he immediately lowered his head, trembling with fear, and no longer dared to raise his head.

Those who did not dare to raise their heads with Sommer also did not dare to raise their heads. There was also the Cardinal's Merkin. Although this wasn't his first time seeing the Pope, losing the Holy Artifact was a huge crime. The guilt in his heart made him not dare to raise his head.

"This subordinate's trip was originally very smooth. Although the cardinal Merkin encountered some difficulties, he was still able to hold up the scene. However, a Yellow Flame cultivator came out of nowhere. This cultivator's cultivation method is really strange. The strangest thing is that he can absorb the Earth Holy Power that we release. Furthermore..." Adeles raised his head to meet the Pope's gaze. "And it's like he can summon an angel to give birth to wings of light!"

The cardinal Merkin looked up gratefully at the referee in front of him, Adeles, whose back was facing him. Adeles was able to report this. Obviously, he was helping him. He was the person involved. He knew very well that if Adeles had not saved him at that time, he would probably have fallen into Abbess Jing Yi's Yin-Yang Formation due to a moment of carelessness, causing all his efforts to be in vain!

"Oh? Angel Wings?" Pontiff Patrick frowned. After a while, he looked up at Adeles and said, "Does he have any information about him? What sect is he from in Yan Huang?"

Chief Judge Adeles shook his head helplessly. He carefully took out the broken Holy Artifact cross wrapped in white cloth and respectfully handed it to Patrick with both hands.

"Before giving birth to wings of light, from the outside, that young man was only about Merkin's level of cultivation, but after giving birth to wings of light, Just the mental energy he released made us feel like we can't withstand it anymore. At that time, I used my strongest sword attack. However, the angel that the young man summoned caught my sword with a single hand. With just a single grab of the Blade of Light, it shattered. Even... the Holy Artifact shattered! " Adeles carefully spread out the white cloth in his hand, revealing the shattered silver cross inside.

Pontiff Patrick's expression was a little serious, and he looked at the broken cross on the white cloth in Adeles's hand. He stretched out his hand and neatly trimmed his slender fingers to gently pick up a piece of the silver cross fragment. The tip of his finger flashed with a holy white light, and very quickly... The white light faded and Patrick put the fragment back into the white cloth. He looked up at Adeles and said in a deep voice, "This was destroyed by hard force!" Patrick was very clear about the quality of the Holy Artifact. It was hard to hurt a sword or a sword. Even if it was thrown into the furnace, it would still be fine even if it was roasted at a high temperature. Each Holy Artifact was like a flying sword in the cultivator's hand, incomparably precious!

Flying swords could be refined from refining materials. A good refining technique could be refined into high-grade flying swords, or even top-grade flying swords! But this Holy Artifact cross was passed down from heaven when the Church was first established. It was impossible to refine it, so the Holy Artifact cross was extremely precious!

The Pope took out two keys from his neck. One of the keys flickered with golden light, while the other flickered with a hazy silver light. The two keys emitted energy fluctuations that caused one's heart to tremble.

"Adeles! Use the Holy Power to put the Holy Artifact together!" Patrick said faintly.

"Yes,your Highness the Pope!" A ball of pure white Holy Power appeared between Adeles's hands. The pieces of the Holy Artifact cross on the white cloth floated up. The broken pieces were connected and pieced together. Other than the fine cracks, from the outside, the cross had been pieced together.

A trace of spirit flashed across Pontiff Patrick's eyes. The two keys in his hands crossed and touched. A gold and silver light quickly merged together. The Pope raised both of his hands and the two colors merged into a bright light. The bright light directly fell onto the cross that Adeles had fixed in midair with the Holy Power.

The two lights flashed with a bright light. Except for Pontiff Patrick, no one dared to look directly at them. But in just a moment, the light gradually dimmed, revealing the Holy Artifact cross that was floating in the air.

After losing the restraint, the silver cross fell from the sky. Adeles reacted very quickly. He took a step forward and caught it. After carefully caressing it, Adeles was surprised to find that there were no cracks on the silver cross. It had completely returned to its original state.

A faint Holy Power appeared in his palm, and the silver cross shone with a pure white holy light. Adeles's face revealed a trace of a smile. He respectfully knelt down on one knee towards Patrick. "Thank you,your Highness the Pope!"

Patrick smiled again. "Get up, after you go back, send the people from the referees to Yan Huang to inquire about that cultivator's information! This is very important to our next move! "

"Yes,your Highness the Pope!" Adeles stood up and took a step back, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Merkin looking at him for help.

Adeles sighed in his heart. He knew the consequences of losing the Holy Artifact. With the attitude of wanting to give it a try, Adeles took another step forward and bowed. "Your Highness the Pope, this subordinate... this subordinate wants to plead on behalf of Merkin's Cardinal to His Majesty."

"Hmm?" Patrick frowned deeply with a trace of doubt. He said lightly: "Tell me about it!"

Merkin looked at Adeles with hope. Adeles bowed and said, "Your majesty, in the confrontation with that cultivator, Merkin's... his Holy Artifact was taken by that cultivator!"

Patrick's eyes coldly swept across Merkin. Merkin saw the Pope's eyes and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

After a while, Pontiff Patrick stood up from the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and put on a pair of flawless white vestment. He said indifferently, "The Holy Artifact has been lost. You have lost the symbol that can prove your identity as the Cardinal!"

Merkin, who had his head lowered, heard this and couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly looked up at the Pope, but Pontiff Patrick didn't even look at him.

Patrick's meaning was already very clear, even Adeles didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, Patrick continued, "You go to the Absolution Court to report, and first be the acting bishop of St. Peter's Cathedral!"

Merkin's expression relaxed. The Pope's words were equivalent to giving him a chance. St. Peter's Cathedral was the largest cathedral under the Church, although its position was not as glorious as the Cardinal of the Privy Court. However, losing the Holy Artifact was already an indisputable fact. The Pope's intention was already considered to have forgiven him, but to let him be the acting bishop first. After the Holy Artifact was recovered, Merkin's identity as the Cardinal would naturally be restored!

Merkin understood in his heart. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and covered his left chest with his right hand. He said respectfully, "Thank you for your forgiveness,your Majesty. Merkin will definitely sincerely repent to the Lord in the Absolution Court!"

Patrick nodded. His eyes swept across Sommer, who had been standing still all this time, and asked, "You are the person in charge of New York, Sommer?"
