God Blessed Island, Ma Wei certainly knows what this name represents.
The legendary holy land - Avalon!
The fourth prince Arthur has been following the island of mist, but he didn't expect...
It turned out to be the Kingdom of God that survived from the real era?
Although the name of Merlin, the creator of Avalon, sounds unfamiliar, Budge's certification is enough to confirm that he is a real god of faith.
"Brother, do you want to tell Arthur this news?" the message asked.
Ma Wei hesitated: "Not yet, Arthur has been looking for Avalon. If we tell him about Avalon's confirmed existence, he will definitely ask us to take him there, and I don't want to expose the White Candle."
Arthur must be informed of the existence of Avalon sooner or later, but not too early.
Ma Wei made a decision and others stopped expressing their opinions, and Buggy also wisely told the origin of the last extraordinary item-the Scale of Sin.
"The Scale of Sin, the ticket to the Kingdom of Death, is the key to the Kingdom of Death. Before the Age of Apocalypse, it had been in the hands of the gods who controlled the Kingdom of Death..."
Buggy said: "If it falls into your hands, I'm afraid it is also a link of fate. Use it properly, but try not to expose it to Tilde, otherwise she will definitely snatch it away."
"Admission ticket?" Daniel asked in confusion: "Tilde, the goddess of sin, can directly open the Kingdom of Death. Why is there such a thing as an admission ticket?"
"Because the Kingdom of Death was originally in the hands of the ancient gods. During the ancient gods' slumber, it was controlled by the gods of faith. That was a matter of the real era. The ancient gods who used the scales of sin would put the souls of the deceased on one end of the scales and the other. A feather is placed on one end and the sins carried by the deceased are weighed. If the soul is heavier than the feather, the deceased will be thrown into the kingdom of the dead to wander. If the feather is heavier than the soul, the deceased will be recognized by the ancient gods... "
"So it sounds like the ancient gods take sin very seriously?" Watson asked: "Aren't the ancient gods evil existences? Why do they throw sinful souls into the Kingdom of Death to suffer?"
Buggy did not answer Watson's question. In silence, she flew into Mavey's chest and fell into a deep sleep again.
Watson stood by the stove with some embarrassment. Holmes comforted him and said, "Don't take it to heart. We need to find out what kind of existence the ancient gods are. There is only one truth, and it will never go wrong."
After understanding the origin of the extraordinary items, the next action will be easier to carry out. To Ma Wei's regret, none of the extraordinary items he has collected so far have anything to do with the Golden Age.
The Golden Age is also the only Kingdom of God that Ma Wei has been unable to contact so far.
"Brother, could the Thousand-Change Mask be left behind by the Golden Gods?" Lai Wen asked, looking at the black mask on the table.
"It's possible, but the probability is not high." Ma Wei sighed: "The Golden Gods overthrew the real era, and Buggy obviously knows the owner of the mask. I suspect that the owner of the Thousand-Change Mask is actually a former friend of Buggy, such as One of the 13 warriors.”
If the owner of the Thousand-Change Mask is one of the 13 warriors, it means that the extraordinary items collected by Ma Wei really have no connection with the Golden Age.
The Golden Gods caused a lot of trouble to themselves when they first met, but now, Ma Wei wants to see them.
They created the Golden Law, developed alchemy to its peak, and realized a harmonious society. They were simply a beacon of light on the road ahead. From them, Ma Wei could learn a lot.
After all, Ma Wei is now crossing the river by feeling the stones, walking on thin ice.
He needed help from other people, other gods.
"Let's all go and have a rest. We have to meet with Pope Ubli I tomorrow morning. We can't be late."
Holmes, Laiwen, and Daniel stood up and left. Ma Wei told Yunia a bedtime story. This time, he told the story of Luffy and his team going to rescue their companions. Yunia listened carefully and waited. After she fell asleep, Ma Wei returned to his room.
The next day, 9 am.
The maid knocked on the door on time. Mavey opened his eyes and watched two maids coming with breakfast. They helped him lay the bed and dining table and opened the curtains.
】
Gray light came in, and the whole room suddenly became much brighter. The street was still full of fog, and occasionally you could hear the sound of carriages passing downstairs. Ma Wei took the hot towel handed by the maid and wiped it. Face, picked up the newspaper, drank coffee and started reading.
"Mr. Nicholas, His Highness said that a carriage has been prepared downstairs and will leave for St. Paul's Cathedral at 9:30. He reminded you to pay attention to the time..."
Glancing at the clock on the wall and seeing that it was just after 9 o'clock, Ma Wei nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After breakfast, Ma Wei planned to change clothes. As soon as he lifted the quilt, the maid put the ironed vest and coat on his shoulders. Ma Wei only had to reach through the sleeves, including the buttons and tie. No need to do it yourself.
Downstairs, the second prince had been waiting at the door for a long time. He was dressed in a black formal suit, dressed very formally, and his hair was combed meticulously. He paced nervously back and forth in front of the door. When he saw Ma Wei slowly walking down the stairs, I couldn't help but complain: "Nicholas! Why are you so leisurely! We are going to see the Pope!"
"The Pope doesn't know how to eat people." Ma Wei said calmly: "Your Highness, you are too nervous."
"But the Pope will definitely launch an attack today!"
The second prince felt scared when he thought of the attack that happened last night. He was not afraid of Butters Brave, but afraid of the consequences of the banquet.
In order to prevent prisoners from attacking the nobles and coming to seek help, the church specially gathered the nobles in the city of Westminster. The purpose was to concentrate its efforts on protecting the nobles. The result was good. The second prince gathered them all with an invitation letter!
When all the prisoners' goals are gathered together, the prisoners will definitely act together!
As a result, the manpower arranged by the church to surround the second prince will not be enough!
Once there is a loophole in the defense force, casualties will inevitably occur!
This is what the second prince is most afraid of.
"Your Highness, although there were casualties last night, they were still within the acceptable range. No nobles died at the hands of prisoners, only two unlucky ones were crushed to death by stones, but this has nothing to do with you! "
"Why doesn't it matter! The villa is not mine?"
"I mean, it was an accident. How can we put all the blame on you?"
"That's true..."
The second prince's face softened slightly. He knew that this was just Ma Wei's words of comfort. He would still be scolded and punished if he deserved it.
At 9:30 in the morning, a sleepy Yunia rubbed her eyes with one hand and came down holding a half-eaten donut with the other hand. There were still a few icings on the corner of her mouth, and she had only eaten half of her breakfast.
After Yunia, Laiwen, and Holmes gathered together, everyone came to the backyard, got into two carriages, left Kensington Palace, and rushed to St. Paul's Cathedral not far away.
It only takes less than 5 minutes to get from Kensington Palace to St. Paul's Cathedral, and the time requested by the Pope is 10 am. The reason why the second prince asked Ma Wei and others to gather at 9:30 is because they are afraid that someone will waste time. , it’s okay even if you come early, it’s better than being late!
People come and go outside the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral, and they are all monks and priests of the church. After the last attack, none of St. Paul's Cathedral could be repaired. There were a lot of gravel and gravel piled on the street, and the colorful glass was broken. The blockbuster looks miserable, less majestic and more ruined.
The second prince, who had been to St. Paul's Cathedral many times, was very familiar with the terrain here. He found the stairs to go upstairs without the monks leading him. With Ma Wei and others, he found the oracle room in a short time.
As the most private place in the church, the Oracle Room is the best place to discuss issues. Normally, the Pope holds meetings with cardinals, cardinals and other church members here, but it is different today. Pope Ubli I is not here. The oracle chamber, but in the dungeon.
After the monk on duty in the oracle room told the second prince the news, the second prince took Ma Wei and others back to the first floor, stepped over the collapsed stones, and entered the dungeon under St. Paul's Cathedral.
There is some moss growing at the bottom of the black wall, the air is humid, and there are torches burning. It looks eerie and eerie. It seems to be old at first glance. It is definitely not a building in the past ten or twenty years. According to the age of St. Paul's Cathedral, the dungeon is at least 10 years old. Several hundred years older.
After going around and around, Ma Wei and others finally found Pope Ubli I under the leadership of the second prince, who claimed to be an excellent guide. Ubli I, who was wearing a white robe with gold patterns and a crown on his head, held the power. Staff was standing in a dungeon observing the broken hole, and around him were many church priests and bishops, including Archbishop Brandon and King Rhodes IV.
Seeing the second prince, Rhodes IV winked and told him to stand aside and wait patiently and not to disturb the pope with words. The second prince obediently obeyed and stood against the wall obediently, like a good baby.
As he stood, he suddenly felt something was wrong. There seemed to be something missing around him...
Turning around, he saw that Ma Wei and the others who were supposed to be standing against the wall like him and being good babies had disappeared. When he turned around, they had appeared in the crowd, pushing away the bishop and priest. Under the somewhat confused gazes of everyone, He came quietly behind the Pope.
The Pope who was observing the entrance of the cave did not pay attention to the movement behind him. He touched the broken stones with his fingers and found that they were stained with some white powder. He put a little under his nose and smelled it. A pungent and spicy smell rushed straight to the top of his head.
The Pope didn't understand what the white powder was. Just as he was about to turn around and ask, he heard someone say:
"This is the residue after burning gunpowder, mixed with some lime powder. Judging from the crack, the other party should have used a large amount of explosives."
"Hmm..." The Pope nodded and said, "There are people patrolling around St. Paul's Cathedral all the time. Who can transport a large amount of gunpowder here?"
"Above the dungeon is the garden of St. Paul's Cathedral. There are stables in the garden. The prisoners can hide the gunpowder in batches at the bottom of the carriage and sneak it into the church. They only need to hide the gunpowder under the hay in the stable and they will not be caught. Found."
"So, the prisoner is a servant who feeds the horses?"
"It can only be said that the servants are suspicious, but they may not have a motive for committing the crime. If the prisoner used magic, then the inference I just made cannot be established."
After hearing this, Ubli I turned around and found that there were several more people behind him, and it was Holmes who answered his question.
"Mr. Diloch Holmes, your Excellency is truly worthy of your reputation."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have given me too much praise."
Ubli I turned around, looked at the arrival of Ma Wei and others, searched among the crowd, found the figure of the second prince, and waved to him.
The second prince quickly walked through the crowd and came to Ubli I, and said tremblingly: "His Majesty the Pope..."
King Ubli I stretched out his palm, pressed it on the second prince's head, and said slowly: "Your Highness, I heard that you were injured in the attack last night?"
"A...a little injury..."
The second prince was a little afraid of Ubli I and didn't understand what the Pope wanted to do.
"You guys met Butters Brave last night, right?"
"Yes...."
"His target should be your highness, but your highness is safe and sound now. I'm curious, how did you survive Butters Breve's attack?"
Ubli I raised his slightly cloudy eyes and looked at Ma Wei and the others. Although there was a smile on his lips, it made people shudder.
Of course, the second prince could not answer this question because he had been knocked unconscious by Edward at that time.
"At that time, it was the appearance of a maid that attracted the attention of Butters Brave." Mavey said: "After the attack, we hid in the secret room of the villa, and Butters Brave chased us. , just when we didn’t know what to do, a maid named Irena entered the study and was discovered by Butters Brave.... It was she who bought time for us with her life and dragged the witcher to Come here."
"Is this really true?" Ubli I glanced at the second prince.
"Yes...that's right..." the second prince said bravely.
"oh."
The smile on Ubli I's lips gradually disappeared, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "But how did I hear that Butters Brave died in your hands? Your words are different from what I heard."
Lai Wen's heart trembled and he glanced around, but did not find Freya's figure. He immediately suspected that Freya had betrayed them!
otherwise....
How did Ubli I expose them?
Although he was nervous, there was no flaw on Laiwen's face. He glanced at Holmes with a calm expression, Daniel with an expressionless face, and Yunia with wide eyes and an innocent face, holding donuts in her hands. He felt that everyone All have a big heart.
In other words, everyone has experienced ups and downs, and when encountering things, it is impossible to be as shocked as ordinary people.
Ma Wei showed an expression of surprise and astonishment for a moment, looked at Ubli I in confusion, and asked doubtfully: "That's the fact. If the maid hadn't bought time with her life, even if the demon hunter rushed By then, we would have died at the hands of Butters Brave..."
"His Majesty the Pope, from whom did you hear the different answer?"
His eyes swept over the faces of Holmes and the other people who sent the letter, and finally stared at Ma Wei's eyes. Ubli I and Ma Wei looked at each other for a few seconds, and a smile broke out on their faces again: "I must have heard wrong, your His rhetoric is exactly the same as Duke Chevalier’s.”
