"cough……"

Soon, a sudden cough sounded from behind the four dukes.

The cardinal who had met Xi Ge before going to the Alsote Mountains had already changed back into his red robe, and was standing behind them at the moment, signaling the four of them not to block the exit.

It's just a cardinal, and the four can completely ignore it.

But when they looked back again, they found that their new owner was talking and laughing with the Pope, walking towards the plane door together.

Four people: "..."

What else can the four of them do?I had no choice but to separate silently to the two sides to make room.

Flowers are in the sky, and applause rings ahead.

Xi Ge and the Pope got off the plane all the way, and they really received a grand welcome as if the leaders were on a mission to a foreign country.He couldn't help waving his hands at many church members, signaling that everyone should not be too enthusiastic.

He said to the Pope beside him: "The kindness of the holy city is far beyond my imagination. I believe that I will spend a happy holiday here. These pleasures will still make me remember after returning to the abyss."

Pope: "In addition to these, the Holy City has many more surprising things."

Xi Ge: "But when I think about going back, I will never see these things again, and I feel deeply regretful. This makes me wish I could stay in this kind country forever."

As soon as these words came out, the people behind the pope and those behind Xi Ge fell silent.

The meaning of what you said is really too profound...

Older gingers are more spicy.

The pope remained calm: "For the distinguished guests who come to visit, we usually prepare some gifts for them to be used as memories. Of course, if you are willing to stay for a long time, we sincerely welcome you."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled happily.

The society is developing and the times are progressing. In addition to armed confrontation, there are also cooperation and common prosperity.

Obviously, the Pope is a sensible man.

He shook hands with the Pope vigorously, and then he quickly shook off the Pope's hand and came to Rhein's side.

Xi Ge said, "Does it feel a bit complicated?"

Rhine: "You..."

Xi Ge: "You take me to the place you used to stay, and I will take you to the place you might want to come, okay?"

Rhine suddenly smiled.He was a little surprised, but not that surprised.

He said, "You think I want to come here?"

Xi Ge: "Then do you want to come?"

Rhine replied honestly: "A little bit. People always want what they lack. But you also know the situation at that time... At first I was a little bit worried, but then I got used to living in the dark."

Xi Ge: "Pippi, you can enjoy all the life you want to enjoy. The only purpose of my first embrace of you is this."

Rhine whispered, "Of course I understand."

In this world, the purest love I have come from only comes from you.

Next, Xi Ge had a friendly discussion with the Pope, then left the team and started their first stop with the Rhine, the holy city.

This city with a long history and firm beliefs does have its own unique charm.

No matter what attitude the high-level church decides to take towards the darkness and the dark world, this city is indeed bathed in holy light, and the people living in this city also have a unique atmosphere of tranquility and peace .

This breath is comforting.

Xi Ge and Rhine strolled through the streets of the holy city.

In the Holy City, most of the buildings are domed, usually in white and gold, and the windows of every household like to be decorated with stained glass. These stained glass are pieced together to form figures, cows, horses, and lambs, often composed of three or five families, or even an entire street. , and together tell a story that draws people to do good.

In this city, for every three streets you walk through, there must be a church on one street for believers to use for their activities.

The largest church in the Holy City is of course the one that belongs to the Pope.

At the moment of entering the Holy City, the Pope had already invited Xi Ge and Rhine to visit the Lord's Church.

But Rhine didn't really take this invitation to heart.

He took Xi Ge so he walked into a small chapel with no one there, which he found out on purpose.

They sat on a bench and looked at the statue of the Son in front of them.

Xi Ge: "How do you feel now?"

Rhine: "There's an extra sense of serenity."

Xi Ge: "Then shall we place a statue at home?"

Rhine: "Carve your face into a statue."

After two sentences of dialogue, both of them laughed.

Rhine sat for a while.

The quiet time always passes quickly. In this short time, the sun in the sky has been deflected, and the light outside the church has weakened accordingly.

Rhine said: "We should go, and have dinner with the Pope tonight."

Xi Ge: "I don't want to leave."

Rhine cast a puzzled look at Xi Ge.

Xi Ge was serious: "After walking for so long, I don't have the strength anymore. I need Pippi to hug and hold me high to stand up again."

Rhine: "..."

He seemed a little unbelievable that Xi Ge would make such a request, and he said to Xi Ge: "Doing these things in the church is a blasphemy against God."

But at the same moment he finished speaking, he bent down and placed a kiss on Xi Ge's lips.

But, who cares?

What I believe in is not God, I only need this person in front of me.

With this kiss, this trip to the holy city has already satisfied Xi Ge.

But love must be talked about, and business matters must not be forgotten.

That night, after a formal dinner with the Pope, Xi Ge visited the treasure house of the Holy City together with Rhine and the four dukes.

The treasury of the Holy City is extraordinary.

Whether it is the emperor's laurel crown, the queen's jewelry, or the precious paintings of painters centuries ago, or the original manuscripts of many writers, poets, and scientists, they can all be found here. Each of them is as precious as Da Vinci. "The Last Supper".

In addition to these humanistic values, of course there are also various sacred artifacts appearing here. It can be said that except for the relics of the popes in the past, there are all things anyone can imagine here.

Facing the treasure house opened to him, Xi Ge was very moved.

But he still refused: "Your Majesty, you are too polite, these things are too precious, I can't take them away."

The Pope smiled soothingly: "This is the proof of our friendship, which is more precious than all treasures."

Xi Ge refused again: "Having said that, it's still not very good."

The Pope once again persuaded: "There is nothing bad. The Holy City does not lack these historical witnesses. The existence of the Holy City is the greatest historical witness."

There were only three things to do, and feeling the Pope's ardent expectation, Xi Ge began to choose what he liked.

When he finished picking one, many church members urged him to pick more.

When he finished picking three items, the pope asked Xi Ge to pick more.

When he finished picking a third, the smiles of the church members were a little forced.

When he finished picking one-half, the Pope's smile was also a little hesitant.

But at this time, Xi Ge finally stopped.

He said to the Pope: "It's almost time for me to leave. I will never forget the warm hospitality of the Holy City this time."

Pope: "I hope Your Excellency will not forget our friendship."

Xi Ge almost pointed to the sky and made an oath: "Our friendship is flourishing and evergreen!"

Pope: "That's good..."

Xi Ge said: "Before I leave, I have one last thing to trouble Your Majesty."

pope:"……"

Up to now, the Pope, who was originally determined to coexist peacefully at this stage because of the strength of Xi Ge and Rhine, also began to doubt whether his decision was correct. He had many doubts:

Doesn't the other party really want peace between the two parties?

All this is just his conspiracy?He broke into the holy city first, then took away the treasures of the holy city, and finally set off a war...

Xi Ge didn't care what the Pope was thinking, he said succinctly: "I need something that you have developed that can suppress your strength. If you don't suppress your strength below the earl, the wall of the abyss will stop me from beyond the abyss."

pope:"……"

The rest of the church: "..."

Rhine, who was standing aside, could clearly see the bewilderment and anger slowly appearing on everyone's faces after hearing Xi Ge's words.

He couldn't help sympathizing with these people for a few seconds.

In fact, if the church had discussed with Xi Ge on the condition of the technology it developed to suppress power from the very beginning, maybe it would not have to pay the price of half the treasury... But after all, no one would have known in advance.

The outcome of this game is self-evident.

The Pope not only gave up half of the treasure house of the Holy City, but also told Xi Ge the secret of the "Ring of Suffering".

Xi Ge flew straight to the abyss with the Ring of Suffering and treasures that couldn't fit in an airplane.

On the plane, Xi Ge played with the Ring of Suffering, and said to Rhine worriedly: "Pippi, let's try to fly into the abyss first. If we can fly in, we will unload the things and continue traveling. Go in...Actually, I don't think we can fly in, but usually when I have this kind of premonition, my premonition will come true."

It has been many times now, and Xi Ge has summed up the experience and lessons.

Simply put, this is a good spirit not a bad spirit.

Rhine: "..."

Xi Ge has spoken to this extent, what else can Rhine say, Rhine has nothing to say.

A low hum rang in my ears, the plane flew across the sky, and inside the cabin, the two waited patiently.

After several hours of direct flight, the border was in sight.

The two put the ring of affliction on their hands respectively. They felt a layer of power covering themselves, and their power decreased all the way, from the prince to the duke, and then down from the duke, the marquis, the earl, and finally stopped at the earl. Then, the change came to an end.

At the same moment, a slight voice sounded from the ring of penance.

Xi Ge glanced worriedly at the ring of affliction with cracks on the surface: Is it a little weak?I always feel that even if I enter the abyss smoothly, this stone ring will be broken soon...

Just as I was thinking about it, the plane that was flying smoothly suddenly shook violently.

The pilot's exclamation sounded in the cabin: "Boss, sit still! We have encountered a turbulence!"

Xi Ge and Rhine looked at each other.

They have a hunch in their hearts, but wait patiently for now.

But the plane did not stabilize as they waited. On the contrary, the plane shook more and more, the voltage in the cabin began to become unstable, the light was bright and dim, and there was another "bang--", the air pressure in the cabin suddenly dropped, and the cabin The oxygen mask inside fell down in an instant!

The appearance of the oxygen mask did not bring about any change, the shaking continued, there was no light in the cabin, and the sound of "popping" sounded like death's approaching footsteps from nowhere, and the voice of the pilot had become terrified: "The air current is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid we won't be able to fly through it, we won't be able to fly through—"

"Okay." Xi Ge interrupted the other party, "Don't go any further, let's go back and find a place to land."

At the most critical moment, the pilot chose to follow the orders of the calm person.

He nervously operated the plane, turned the flight route, and turned in the same direction as when it was coming and going.

Strange to say, once the plane turned around, the previous terrifying air flow disappeared in an instant. Outside the plane, the sky was peaceful, and the night was extremely quiet, with the moon looking at the plane.

The plane landed on the ground beyond the walls of the abyss.

Xi Ge got off the plane, and he shouted in the wilderness: "Old Sa, Lao Sa, my Lao Sa, where are you!"

The moment his voice fell, Lao Sa's faint answer sounded in the air:

"Stop shouting, I'm here, tell me, there is something else you need to solve with me..."
