C2280 Saintly Garment

The sound was deafening, like waves of rolling thunder engulfing the sky. Everyone knew that such a sound could only be made by the heavy wooden door at the entrance of the church. Without a doubt, everything was as Bertrand said. The church was sealed!

For a moment, all the cardinals present sank into a state of panic. Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they looked at Bertrand and, as well as the surrounding members of the Temple Knight Regiment stationed around them!

However, no matter how they searched, the holy light emitted by the Knights Templar was still cold and merciless, sealing off all their hopes and giving them no opportunity to escape.

At this moment, many cardinals were already suspecting whether the words that Bertrand had said just now were all lies. Was the reason why he had confined them here was to silence them and let them sit firmly on the throne of the Pope!

"Bertrand, what are you planning to do?" Antonio coldly said. He looked at Bertrand fearlessly and asked, "Who gave you the authority and qualification to imprison us here? Do you really think that just by virtue of your status as the leader of the Knight Temple and the heretical judge's office, you can restrict the freedom of us bishops? "

"There is no one who can restrict your freedom. It is just that you cannot leave!" He said indifferently to Antonio, "No matter what you think, Cardinal, you cannot deny that this is the power of strength. Without strength, you have no right to leave this place, and since I have the strength, naturally I can decide everything!"

The moment he said this, the whole hall fell silent. Although they were unwilling in their hearts, they had no choice but to admit that everything was just as Bertrand said, that this was indeed power. Although they had esteemed status and could become cardinals that were revered by countless believers, without power, they could not even move freely!

Strength! [Why can't I get the inheritance even if I don't have the strength to? Hearing Bertrand's words, Antonio clenched his fists, his joints cracking and his face filled with unwillingness!

"Why did you leave us here?!" After a long period of silence, Antonio's expression finally calmed down. He slowly raised his head and looked at Bertrand and said faintly, "We don't have the inheritance of magic and we don't have the strength. No matter what you do, we can't stop you. Why are you imprisoning us?"

The moment his words fell, the cardinals nodded their heads. As Antonio had said, regardless of whether Bertrand wanted to occupy the position of Pope or if he had other motives, they did not have the ability to accept the inheritance. They did not have the strength to stop his actions, and could not even send out any questions. Why would he imprison them here?

"No, you are wrong, you are not useless. There is something I need from you!" When Bertrand heard this, he slowly shook his head and stood up from his throne. He slowly walked down and said to Antonio with a playful look on his face.

Was there something that Bertrand really needed?! When Antonio heard this, he could not help but frown. He really did not understand what was so important about him that Bertrand would pay so much attention to him. Moreover, from the looks of it, Bertrand did not seem to be lying.

"Cardinal, don't worry. You'll soon understand what I'm talking about." As if noticing the doubt in Antonio's heart, Bertrand let out a soft laugh and lightly clapped his hands. He then slowly said: "Now, I want to show you guys something! This time, didn't you guys come here to find out what the Pope is planning to do to stop that heretic's western expedition? I'll show you the Pope's arrangement right now! "

The crisp sound of the applause rang out in the spacious church, it was as heavy as a drum!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Along with this applause, a series of orderly footsteps sounded out from the darkness of the church. Dozens of figures slowly appeared, and the footsteps they took were like an elephant stepping heavily on the ground, causing the cardinals to feel as if the entire church was trembling!

A moment later, these figures finally stopped in front of a group of cardinals! From the looks of it, all of these people were very special. Their bodies were incomparably sturdy and possessed an unparalleled and absolute might. With armor on their bodies, they were as unmoving as towering mountains and as silent as a dark sea that couldn't float!

What was even more surprising was the armor these people were wearing!

The armors of these people looked extremely similar to the ones worn by the farmers and soldiers of the Temple Knight Regiment, but in terms of luster, they were several times inferior. There were no extravagant decorations, nor were there any glimmering holy lights, and every one of them was dim and lusterless, as if they were made of the most primitive bronze, with only a faint metallic luster.

Moreover, there were all sorts of scars and holes densely packed on the surface of these armors. If one were to carefully examine them, one would discover that these marks were left behind by swords and arrows! There were even some rust marks on the parts where the armor was connected. It was as if the armor was taken out of a museum!

"What is this?" They did not understand why Bertrand was showing them these things. If this was the method that Bertrand used to deal with Lin Bai, then it would be too ridiculous. Just a simple poke of these armor would cause it to shatter into pieces without any defense.

"This is …" But unlike the other cardinals, Antonio, who knew more about the secrets of the Church, studied the armor for a long time and could not help but frown. He felt like he had seen this armor somewhere before, after pondering for a long while he suddenly exclaimed in shock and disbelief, "Sacred Robe! "This is the saint robe?"

"The Cardinal is indeed the Cardinal. He is much more knowledgeable than anyone else!" Hearing Antonio's words, a smile of approval appeared on Bertrand's face as he slightly nodded his head. Then, as if stroking the skin of a lover, his fingers gently caressed the rusted and scarred armor. Then, he said, "As you said, these are indeed saint's clothes!"

Sacred Robe?! The moment he said that, the entire hall fell into silence, and everyone's faces were filled with disbelief!

According to the legends, these holy clothes were the battle robes worn by the angels and devils during their battle against the devils. After the war ended, the holy robe was left on the earth, but after that, the holy robe completely disappeared, and everyone thought that it was just a legend!

According to the legends, the second appearance of the Holy Robe was during the Crusade. According to the legends, in order to increase the combat prowess of the army, the pope took out the Holy Robe and handed it over to the Crusaders!

However, with the disbanding of the eastern Crusaders, the trace of the saint robe disappeared into the river, as if it had vanished into thin air. Only the legends remained, and there were no more traces of it.

But today, this saint robe had actually reappeared in front of them. How could this not cause them to be astonished?!

"Sacred Robe, the battle robe of the Sacred Son, gather all your battle power!" Looking at the astonished crowd, the smile on Bertrand's face became even more brilliant, as if he was mumbling to himself, but at the same time, as if he had cleared his doubts, he said to the crowd, "Like all of you, I initially thought that this sacred robe was just a legend, but it wasn't until they excavated it from Jerusalem that I was able to confirm that everything actually existed, that everything wasn't as simple as just a legend! Once the saint robe is in place, the glory of our Lord will forever exist in this world! "

"Why did you make us stay here?" He raised his head and looked at Bertrand's eyes, which were as unfathomable as the dark night sky. He said in a deep voice, "It can't be that you want to show us these holy clothes and let us know that they exist in this world, right?"
