Chapter 58: Ending
In order not to irritate Jennifer, the Pope did not rush to ask about the so-called oath and blood feud, but instead asked about the Chosen Paladin.
Jennifer seemed a little speechless that a dignified pope didn't know any extraordinary knowledge, but she still patiently explained: "The first paladins originated from the nine chosen paladins, and the subsequent paladins were all derived from the bloodline of these nine paladins."
"The Chosen Ones are loyal believers chosen by the Lord, who are granted the power of Paladins to protect believers, pass on faith, respect knowledge, and eliminate evil. According to ancient prophecies, the birth of new Chosen Ones also means the resurrection of demons in large numbers, and the world will face another catastrophe."
"In the face of the common enemy of mankind, the devil, we must unite all the forces that can be united to resist erosion and drive the devil back to the hell where they belong."
The Pope gradually understood and even guessed who the new Chosen Paladin was, but the problem was that he was a Protestant! He could not say that he had no respect for the Holy See, but he did not approve of it either. After all, this was a question of the right to interpret doctrine, and he could not compromise.
However, if this is God's will, both sides should be able to compromise.
Moreover, after the Pope returns, he must have people dig out all the books that record things suspected to be related to the supernatural. Perhaps, they may contain the truth about the disappearance of the Holy See's supernatural bloodline.
"New York is a very dangerous place right now. The remaining strength of Lord Michael only destroyed the demon's body, but its soul is still there, and through the disintegration of the body, it has raised the level of demonic energy in New York to a very dangerous level. For the safety of the new Chosen One and you, I suggest you not stay here any longer. Otherwise, endless villains will be bewitched and become demons, attacking us. What happened today is not even an appetizer." Jennifer gave a warning.
The Pope takes this matter very seriously. Matters concerning one's life cannot be taken too seriously.
"It's just the holy relic of Lord Michael."
"The holy relic is waiting for the destined person. That is the Lord's arrangement."
Maybe it's like the Sword in the Stone? The Pope thought of this legend. After knowing this, he was not so eager for the holy relic.
"But according to our guess, St. Michel's Monastery is a good resettlement place." Jennifer recalled the conversation with Shiraishi Hang, he seemed to have mentioned this.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
"Your Holiness, the military has arrived." The voice of the guard came from outside the door.
The Pope looked at Jennifer, who stood up and said, "Next, I will help you persuade the Chosen Paladin. I live nearby, so you don't have to worry about your safety."
"Thank you. I'll take you out."
After Jennifer was sent out the door, there were already a few capable-looking men and women standing outside. They looked at Jennifer, nodded, and said nothing.
“Your Holiness, given the possibility of another demonic attack here, we invite you to accept our temporary protection until you leave,” the female said.
The Pope shook his head. “We are safe now. I think you should spend more time protecting those poor people instead of an old man like me.”
"Your Holiness, we are from the newly established Bureau of Investigation of Extraordinary Situations. I am Alex Mason, the leader of the Extraordinary Response Team 1. We understand that the woman just now used some kind of extraordinary means. I wonder if you would be convenient to introduce her to us?" The leader standing among the group spoke.
The Pope smiled and said, "Miss Jennifer is from our Holy See. Fortunately, she protected us in time and we are safe. However, it is not convenient for her to meet outsiders at the moment."
No wonder. Alex had already used facial data to find Jennifer's file when he came. She was an ordinary student half a year ago. But after a trip to Japan and a few days back, she became a member of your Holy See? They suspected that Jennifer's ability was related to the mysterious foreign man next to her.
Although the entry passport showed that he was just an ordinary person, whoever believed it would be in trouble. For these extraordinary people, changing identities was not as easy as drinking water, but at least it was not a difficult task.
The biggest possibility now is that they have reached some kind of cooperative relationship with the Holy See, or in other words, they have reached cooperation with the possible supernatural forces of the Holy See.
Alex looked at the Pope for a long while before he frowned and nodded a few times: "I'm sorry that you are in danger. Since you don't want to leave, we will arrange protection for you. Thank you for your understanding."
The Pope said nothing more, just watched them leave.
With extraordinary support behind you, you can speak with confidence!
Normally he might give the other party some face, but the other party's poor defense almost cost him his life, so he was being kind by not saying anything back.
The next day.
Due to the demonic riot yesterday, the commander-in-chief mobilized a large number of heavy firepower into the city overnight, and carried out strict registration and management of the residents, and struck hard at some criminals who might degenerate into demons. Under the threat of heavy machine guns, except for a few exceptions who were high on drugs and had their brains messed up, everyone else obediently accepted the arrangements and did not dare to do anything that might cause misunderstanding.
Otherwise, it's not about emptying the magazine, but emptying the belt. When that thing hits you, the body can't be put back together, and it's too mushy to make meat patties.
In this environment, the Holy See and the Protestant Church once again started negotiations. Jennifer's display of holy light, the story of the demonic energy in New York, and Brand's claim of receiving revelations silenced the bishop, who eventually compromised and agreed to let Brand take Michael's relics to the Monastery of St. Michael for an indefinite period of time for enshrinement.
The Holy See acknowledged Reverend Brand's ownership of the relics, saying they only had the right to place them. If anything happened that required the relics to be moved, they would need to consult with Reverend Brand in advance.
During the negotiations, a few demons came to attack, but they were all killed by heavy firepower. However, this also gave them a sense of urgency, and they hurried to arrange a dedicated flight to Gaul.
Although the commander-in-chief did not gain any actual benefits from intervening in the negotiations, he learned more about the supernatural and confirmed that the church was involved with supernatural forces, so it was not a loss.
As for the culprit of all this, Shiraishi Ko, he has already said goodbye to Jennifer. Although he is still traveling in America, he has slowly shifted his main focus back to Tokyo.
At this time, Hirosue Ryomiya's animal experiments had already expanded to the scope of aquatic animals. He also took advantage of the New York incident to attract a lot of attention from the Special Affairs Bureau. He went to the country of Turkey under the pretext of summer travel and secretly found a piece of water with few people nearby to conduct experiments.
Thanks to "Xin Mengwen" for the reward
Thanks to "Yelongchen" for the second reward
The New York plot has come to an end. There are so many negative reviews. I hope everyone is not poisoned and runs away (bitter smile)
In fact, when I was writing the plot, I followed the timeline that had been planned in advance. The feeling I had when writing the New York plot was actually similar to writing other plots, or even more enjoyable.
The plan in the plot setting is that after the Mont Saint-Michel plot, the protagonist will basically no longer appear, and it will slowly turn into a group portrait, and various ambitious people will appear one after another.
This Saturday and Sunday, there will be some changes to the previous plot about the Holy Infant Church, and the name will be changed to the Holy Infant Society. Please understand.
Thank you!
Gaia! I don't have time to play the manor lord I bought!
