Seeing that Owen still looked puzzled, Raev XXIII stood up from his seat and extended an invitation."
King Wells, I want to take you to a place, but you can only come with me alone."
Alone?
Without thinking much about it, Owen immediately turned his head to the two guards behind him and ordered, "You guys wait for me here." ”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Marpel and the other guard nodded in response.Following Raev XIII out of the reception room, the two went to a hidden room in the depths of the church, which was heavily guarded by Templars."
Open the door."
Raev XXIII commanded one of the Templars."
Yes, His Holiness the Pope."
The Templar gave a knightly salute, then turned and slowly pushed open a strong, heavy iron door."
Please come with me, King Wells."
Raev XXIII led Owen into the room, where the door was re-closed by the Templars.As soon as he entered the room, the first thing that caught Owen's eye was the quaint books placed on the shelves against the wall, all bound in parchment, old and invaluable.Some important books are also chained to the shelves, and they can only be read on the spot, and they are not allowed to be taken out.In the center of the room stood a stone statue, not the usual statue of a goddess in the halls of a church, but a kind-faced man, dressed in a robe, holding a staff with a crystal ball about twenty centimeters in diameter and a faint silver glow.I don't know why, as long as Owen stares at the crystal ball for more than five seconds, he will see multiple ghosts, which should be synthetic magic stones with special effects."
This is the church's forbidden library."
Raev XXIII introduced.Noticing that Owen was attracted to the stone statue in the center of the room, he continued: "...... that stone statue" "I know. ”Owen hurriedly replied, "This is the founder of the Lumigala religion, the saint Raev, right?"
”The statue is carved entirely from the beautiful illustrations on the canon, and is modeled after the posture of the saint Raev calling for unity against the vampires.Owen looked through the sacred texts and was impressed by the illustrations on them, so he knew the identity of the stone statue."
That's right."
Raev XXIII nodded with satisfaction.Owen first glanced around the vast array of books, then turned his head to look at Raev XXIII."
Pope, did you bring me to the Forbidden Library to check out the literature here?""
Nope."
Raev XXIII shook his head slightly, "The books here are important, but what I'm going to show you is something else. ”Another thing?
Owen was puzzled, what else was there here besides books?"
What is it?"
He couldn't help but ask."
King Wells, please wait here for a moment."
Raev XXIII pretended to be mysterious.With that, he walked up to the stone statue of the saint Raev, closed his eyes, raised his head, put his hands clasped in front of his chest, and began to pray."
Listen to me, great saint," and before ......he could finish speaking, the figure of Raev XXIII disappeared from Owen's eyes, without any warning, so suddenly.Hey?
What about people?
Is it dark magic?
Seeing this, Owen was suddenly a little overwhelmed, hurriedly looked around to search, and called out: "Pope?
”There is no doubt that Raev XXIII had no reason to harm Owen, and it may have been deliberately done in order to hide some secret.At this moment, the crystal ball on the top of the staff in the hand of the sage Raev suddenly emitted a strong silver light, and the surrounding space distorted due to this.What's going on?
Unclear about the situation, Owen subconsciously took a step back, and the surrounding bookshelves against the wall gradually became curved like waves in his eyes.Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a while, and the crystal ball retracted its light, and the forbidden library quickly returned to normal.As soon as he returned to normal, Owen immediately looked around to check what had changed in the forbidden library.Odd!
I feel like the forbidden book library is a lot more spacious than before, is it an illusion?"
King Wells, I'm here."
The voice of Raev XXIII came from behind the stone statue of the saint.Following the prestige, Owen found Raev XXIII standing by the doorway of a secret passage that led deep underground, smiling at him.Originally, there was no door there, and it was clear that it was the anomaly just now that made this secret passage manifest.Without much thought, Owen took a step towards Raev XXIII.As he passed by the statue of the saint, he looked up and glanced at the crystal ball at the top of the staff.The function of that magic stone should be related to spatial scaling, which can reduce the space of the forbidden library, and then achieve the effect of hiding the door of the secret passage.It seems that the technical level of the magic stone of the Caleb Holy Sect Country should not be underestimated."
King Wells, please come with me," Raev XXIII raised his hand and made a gesture of please, "What I want to show you is that since Raev XXIII didn't explain anything, Owen didn't take the initiative to ask, followed the other party into the secret passage, and went deep underground."
The deeper you go, the heavier the chill becomes, and you can't help but shiver.As he walked, noticing a faint white light coming from below, Raev XXIII reminded: "It's almost there." ”The two of them involuntarily quickened their pace.Passing through the last door, Owen's eyes suddenly brightened to an open underground space, illuminated by light magic stones, and there were also bookshelves full of books.When I came, there was already a person here, a beautiful and touching woman, not inferior to Angelica, wearing a red clerical garment, and her status in the church should be the same as that of Cardinal Tellembe I had seen before."
I've seen His Majesty the Pope."
The cardinal first bowed lightly to Raev XXIII, then turned her gaze to Owen with a smile on her face."
Presumably you are the King of Wells who has just arrived in the Holy City, and I am Cardinal Freya Ludis when we first meet.""
Oh!"
Owen reacted suddenly, "You are the rumored Holy Daughter of the Holy Church of Caleb, Cardinal Ludis, who was disrespectful just now. ”This is the legendary saint who has the magic power of the six basic elemental attributes of wind, water, earth, fire, light, and darkness, although she rarely appears in public, but other countries have long had various rumors about her."
You're welcome."
Freya smiled, "Since His Majesty the Pope personally brought you here, it must be to see that thing." ”As she spoke, she looked into the depths of the underground space.Owen also looked ahead, and saw an intricately shaped fire altar with a golden flame suspended in mid-air burning brightly.Just looking at the flame from afar, Owen could feel a warmth fill his whole body.Speaking of which, when he was outside just now, Owen still felt quite cold, but after coming here, he didn't feel cold anymore, presumably because of the flames.
