The world of civilized towers.
Temple of knowledge.
At this time, the grand welcome ceremony has ended and the senior officials have dispersed.
Some attendants and cultists were cleaning up the mess.
Although it was complicated and busy, everyone's faces showed a sense of joy.
It was not until midnight that the believers finally cleaned up the inside and outside of the temple.
Immediately afterwards, under the command of a bishop, everyone began to arrange the assessment venue.
There is no way, this must be done immediately, otherwise it will be too late.
——Starting from tomorrow, the door of the temple will be crowded with people applying to join the religion.
There will be no doubt about it.
Because during the welcome ceremony during the day, the Queen of Thorns publicly announced that she would donate a large sum of wealth to the temple.
This is a wealth that can move the entire hegemony area.
Even the pope, who has always been serious and brooding, looks decades younger.
Looking back carefully, today is really a special day.
In the morning, the gods came to the world.
In front of all sentient beings in the entire hegemony zone, the gods sealed a disobedient person.
When the celebration began in the afternoon, the Queen of Thorns immediately made an unprecedented donation—in fact, compared to the appearance of the gods, this donation had a greater impact on the temple.
——At least within thirty years, every clergy member of the Temple of Knowledge will not have to worry about all expenses.
Moreover, every cleric of the Temple of Knowledge will receive special funding from the Kingdom of Thorns: they will receive the honorary knighthood of the Kingdom of Thorns.
In the 200 million-layered world in the Contest Zone, the Honorable Sir of the Kingdom of Thorns can withdraw 10,000 coins with the serial number of 500 in any world.
This amount of money is enough for one person to live comfortably for most of his life!
And because of the majesty of the temple, no jealous person would dare to attack the clergy to seize this wealth.
No one dares to openly deal with the followers of the gods.
So the money is safe and cannot be taken away.
From this, people can even say without hesitation that the donation ceremony of the Queen of Thorns has long surpassed the coming of gods to the world, and has become headline news that 200 million people around the world will worship and admire.
Does this offend the gods?
Of course not, Her Majesty the Queen is helping the development of the Church of God.
Tomorrow, the Pope will confer on the Queen the title of Honorary Bishop!
…
Deep in the Temple of Knowledge.
The Pope's drawing room.
Although it is a bit late, a secret negotiation is still going on here.
The only attendees were the Pope, the Queen, and a general beside the Queen.
The Pope smiled and said: "Your Majesty Laura, the knowledge and secrets of the world are vast, why do you look so anxious?"
"Because I am a child, always eager to get what I want, or you can say that I can't hold my breath." Laura said.
While speaking, Laura reached out and groped in the void.
She stretched out her hand and grabbed something out.
It was a pair of iron chain gloves, with a soft dark golden light emitting from the entire body.
"Huh? Epic knight's gauntlets? I'm lucky this time."
Laura said in surprise and threw her gloves behind her.
Ilia quickly caught the glove.
"Your Majesty, the treasury can no longer hold it. What do you think of these gloves?" She asked for instructions.
"Didn't we donate a lot of things to the Temple of Knowledge?" Laura asked curiously.
"Those are some piled outside the treasury..."
"oh……"
Laura exchanged glances with her.
It turned out to be just some trash outside the treasury being emptied.
This pair of iron gloves is an epic treasure and cannot be thrown into the trash.
"Ilia, please wear these gloves." Laura said.
Ilia showed Laura a pair of gauze gloves that exuded pure white light: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? Last time you touched a pair of artifact-level saint gauze, and I am wearing it."
Laura said worriedly: "Oh, what can I do? By the way - Your Excellency the Pope, I will donate another pair of epic knight gloves."
She took the iron glove back and threw it on the coffee table.
The pope's eyelids twitched as he watched from the opposite side.
"Lola... Your Majesty, everyone in the temple is very grateful for your generosity." The Pope organized his words and said.
Laura waved her hand, her expression became serious.
"Your Holiness, I have to tell you frankly, I must know some secret knowledge."
"Your Majesty, tomorrow I will grant you the title of Honorary Bishop, and you will be able to browse the knowledge condensed by all civilizations in the Temple of Knowledge."
"No, Your Majesty the Pope, do you think I have put in so much effort just to know the knowledge of the civilizations of all races?"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" asked the Pope.
"I want to know the secret of the coin." Laura said.
The Pope relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. Although the wonderful functions of many coins are very hidden, we already know almost everything about the first seven hundred coins."
Laura said: "That's not what I want to know."
The Pope still maintained a smile and nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that your desire for truth and secrets is so deep, but as the honorary bishop of our Temple of Knowledge, you are worthy of your name."
"The last coin No. 301 was made by the four righteous gods. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be eager to know the secrets in these coins."
The pope said happily: "Explore the secrets of knowledge, search for the origin of civilization, and understand the truth of the creation of the world from coins. As long as your majesty can maintain such a thirst for knowledge, sooner or later, I can put the word honor in front of your title. Get rid of it.”
Laura said calmly: "You misunderstood. In fact, I am not interested in these hundreds of coins."
The Pope was stunned.
He suddenly found that he couldn't see through the little girl in front of him.
The Pope asked tentatively: "Then...what do you mean..."
Laura softened her voice and lowered her voice: "Your Holiness, I want to know the secret of the last three coins."
The smile on the Pope's face completely disappeared, and his voice sounded a little dry: "Only one of the last three coins was minted. Your Majesty, it may be difficult for you to trace their traces. The Holy See is willing to work with you to find them."
Laura said: "You are wrong. I don't need the Holy See's help to find them. I have plenty of ways to find those three coins."
She looked at the Pope and saw some fear in his eyes.
"Your Majesty the Pope, you probably guessed it. I know that." Laura said.
"What is it?" asked the Pope.
"The ancient tree told me that it was a matter of resurrecting the dead and causing all things to flow backwards, but it didn't know the specific circumstances."
The Pope suddenly stood up and said quickly: "It's getting late, Her Majesty the Queen, please come back."
Laura sat still and said slowly: "Sir, I remember that the things I donated have not arrived yet, so you are going to drive me away like this?"
The Pope said coldly: "Your Majesty, the Temple of Knowledge does not need any donation from you, and the Temple of Knowledge will never leak that taboo matter to anyone, including you."
He opened the door and said: "Please, Your Majesty, our meeting is over. Please don't come to the Temple of Knowledge again in the future!"
Ilia looked at Laura worriedly, walked in front of her and protected her quietly.
"It's okay, Ilia, step aside, I still have something to say to His Holiness the Pope." Laura said.
She opened her small satchel, took out a black box, and placed it gently on the coffee table.
"Please take a look at this." Laura said.
She opened the box and immediately closed it again.
At this moment, the Pope saw a black finger bone lying quietly in the box.
The moment the box is closed——
A wisp of pale flame rose from the black finger bones, flew out of the box, and floated in the air like a thread of mist, condensing for a long time.
The Pope stared at the white flame and said absentmindedly: "My God..."
Involuntarily, he closed the door.
"Your Holiness, do you feel it?" Laura said softly.
The Pope stared at the flame, and beads of cold sweat gradually gathered on his forehead.
"You devil," he murmured under his breath.
"No, this is just a deal, Your Excellency the Pope." Laura said.
"This is disrespectful to the gods," the pope said.
"How can there be any disrespect to the gods? This finger bone does not come from the descendants of the Four Righteous Gods, nor from the corpse of the Seven Demonic Gods. It comes from hundreds of millions of years ago and belongs to an unknown god who fell."
Laura smiled: "I believe this does not offend the seven gods, so I plan to give it to you."
The finger bones of the gods.
Fingerbone of an unknown deity.
It is different from the seven known paths to becoming a god, and it must contain the mystery of becoming a god that has never been seen before.
The Pope stared at the box, his throat rolling.
He took out a white handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off his head.
——Do you want to kill the other party now?
He looked at the little girl opposite.
The little girl smiled slightly.
Green branches and leaves emerged from behind her, hugging her gently.
The Holy Tree of Thorns!
Damn it, this is an existence comparable to a god.
It's protecting her!
The pope immediately gave up.
He tried his best to suppress his emotions and whispered: "Your Majesty Laura, what do you want?"
"Tell me the secret. The donation to the Temple of Knowledge remains unchanged. The contents of this box are given to you personally by me."
"Or you can not tell me the secret, but I believe someone will always know."
Laura also lowered her voice: "Even if you don't tell me, others will always tell me the secret in order to get this finger bone. What do you think?"
The Pope was silent for a minute.
He suddenly smiled.
Shaking his head, the Pope said with emotion: "Your Highness Laura, welcome you to become the official bishop of the Temple of Knowledge."
"Your Excellency, the Holy Tree is here. Please tell the secret first, be careful not to tell lies, and then you can take away the box."
"...Your Majesty, listen carefully, I will only say it once."
"please."
"It was an age when the gods were most powerful. The last three coins were cast by thirty-three gods in ancient times. The gods tried their best to complete this highest achievement and created in the three coins something that surpassed all gods. strength."
"Each of the three coins holds a part of the power. You must collect them all and then inspire them by the three special beings they represent, so that you can achieve that thing."
"Can that thing really be achieved?" Laura clenched her fists and her breathing became rapid.
"Yes, this is the ultimate power. It can resurrect the dead, reverse the flow of everything, and frustrate the fate of all living things." The pope whispered.
