"Hello... His Majesty the Pope."
Lowering his head slightly, Joshua put his right fist on his chest and saluted the old man who was made of light and had white hair and golden eyes. He looked a little shocked and helpless: "I can see you in the North, yes My pleasure."
"Young man, I'm glad to see you too."
The old man whose identity was revealed at a glance said with a smile. It was obvious that he was very happy and was not lying. Then, His Majesty the Pope raised his right hand, pressed it on his chest, and actually did the same to Joshua. present.
This was so shocking that the soldier almost lost his ability to think.
Of course, he is not a person who feels awkward when others salute him, nor does he think saluting is a strange thing, but what should I say? The person in front of him is the current pope of the Church of the Seven Gods in Mycroft Continent!
St. Eagle, the one who holds the authority of God, has legendary peak strength and is one of the strongest humans in the world. Even Joshua in his previous life could not be said to be a formidable opponent who could win with certainty. His power is so vast. It was enough to make his enemies bow to him as a sign of respect, at the very end of the dragon disaster. When the Church of the Seven Gods was besieged by thousands of dragons and faced the greatest danger, he used the power of the torrent of holy light to directly wipe out the sea beasts and wild dragons all over the South China Sea. The scene at that time was like the world being turned into a blank sheet of paper. Any existence that does not conform to its will will be erased.
In addition, this pope is also one of the few people-friendly people. Countless paladins travel around, destroy evil and protect the people. This is the policy he implemented during his term. In addition, he also developed the divine resonance technique. , which allows the powers of several priests and paladins to converge into one, and is called the combined master by players in previous lives... Whether it is strength, character or wisdom, Eagle can be said to be flawless, indeed enough to be... A being who is called a saint in this world.
This kind of person deserves Joshua's respect.
Of course, he is also Loranda's adoptive father... If nothing unexpected happens, this guy might die in the hands of his adopted son before the Battle of the Abyss.
Pulling back his wandering thoughts, Joshua wanted to reach out to support the old pope, but the other party shook his head and said in a voice with a slight ethereal echo: "Joshua Van Radcliffe... This is too long."
He didn't look like an old man, he smiled relaxedly and said, "Can I call you Joshua?"
"Of course, Your Majesty the Pope."
Eagle's body is made up of clusters of free light. At first, this light was a bit illusory, but now, this light is getting more and more solid. The warrior knows that this is a method similar to the incarnation of a god, but this It is really surprising that a pope can be used so easily.
But Eagle still looked a little dissatisfied. He glanced at Loranda behind him, and then used the Holy Light to send her aside to have a good rest. Next, the old man said to Joshua seriously: " Young man, there is no need to be constrained by my identity. There is no distinction between you and me. You can call me Eagle, just like I want to call you Joshua."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the soldier to reply, there was a white fire flashing in front of him, the light spot became larger, and a ball of light appeared in front of Eagle, and a moment later, accompanied by a slight space-time Fluctuation, a pure white scepter appeared in his hand.
When the scepter appeared again, Joshua was shocked - not only because the azure orb on his chest was vibrating like crazy and emitting high heat, but also because he recognized the top of the scepter. A faint fire surrounded by countless pure white sacred halos.
[The afterglow of the initial fire]
The system that came with it began to vibrate in front of his eyes with rainbow-colored thick-coated fonts, reminding him how precious the items in front of him were. And not only that, the scepter itself was also something that surprised him.
[The White Scepter inherited by the Sages]
Inherited by Saints... After the Azure Pearl is completely awakened, it seems to be called the Azure Orb inherited by Saints
Is there any connection between the two
Doubts suddenly arose in his heart, and Joshua raised his head to look at the old pope who was watching him quietly.
"Haha, young man, after seeing this, did you notice something?"
As if he could see through Joshua's thoughts - in fact, the warrior did not hide his surprise and expression at all. Eagle held the scepter in his hand tightly and let its flickering light shine for a moment. He said softly: "This It is passed down from the saints and proves that the Pope is the walker of the Seven Gods on the earth. It is also..."
"Also fire."
Staring at the fire that made him feel extremely close, Joshua murmured: "At least it is also one of the fire types. This is really surprising, the Pope... Lord Eagle."
After blinking, Eagle seemed a little surprised that Joshua actually knew about this matter. He murmured happily in a low voice: "You know a lot, my junior, what else do you know."
"Actually, I don't know much."
Shaking his head, Joshua looked away from that ball of light, his expression still seemed a little reluctant. He turned his head and waved to the city guards behind him from a distance, asking them not to come forward, and then said with a smile on his face He continued to talk to the old pope with doubts: "Lord Eagle, although I have always heard the name of the sage, I don't know who he is. The azure orb he left behind contains fire power that is enough to reshape the world... Doubts There are so many that I don’t even know where to start.”
"Well, you know a lot of this. It's normal not to know. You know, even the Church of the Seven Gods has lost a lot of information in its millennium-long inheritance. The azure orb in your hand has been passed down since the Third Saint After changing hands several times, it finally came into the hands of your family, and then it was up to you to awaken it..." At this point, Eagle shook his head and laughed at himself: "As I get older, I tend to talk more nonsense unconsciously... Joshua, do you mind if I, as an elder, continue to be verbose?"
"Of course I don't mind."
Shrugging, Joshua was waiting for the other party to explain the ins and outs of this series to him in detail. This information was something he had never heard in his previous life, was hidden in the deepest part of the world, and was only known to a few people. Regarding this, he Curiosity is burning.
"The name of the Sage comes from the era before the Starfall Calendar, the era called the Era of Glory."
The old pope stared at the fire of the scepter in his hand, and said slowly in an ethereal voice with some echoes: "At that time, humans and other races did not have gods, and he was the strongest man of that era. The power of the saints was far beyond The legend has even surpassed the so-called gods of later generations and reached an incredible realm. He can even look back into the past, see through the future, and know everything that is happening now... But it seems that because of this, subsequent things happened."
Having said this, Eagle was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "The sage predicted."
"The sages have seen through everything and predicted that there will be a huge disaster in the future. This disaster will cause the initial fire to collapse, so the heat and fierce wind will burn all the seas, the clouds of fire and ashes will cover the sky, and the stars in the sky will Fall, the dark abyss will open, the ridges will collapse into basins, and the valleys will rise into mountains.”
"If there are people who question and don't believe other people's predictions, then every word said by the sage is the truth and a tangible fact. Since he said it, there will definitely be such a disaster in the future. For this reason, humans in that era began to make full preparations to deal with disasters, and the things inherited by the sages in the hands of you and me came into being because of this."
At this point, Joshua had a general understanding of the azure orb in his hand, but he still had doubts in his heart, and the old pope continued to talk.
"Although the sage is strong, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. Although he can clearly see the occurrence of the disaster, he cannot determine the era when the disaster occurs. However, in fact, not long ago, the prophecy seemed to be fulfilled, and the terrible disaster followed. Come."
"The Lost Three Hundred Years."
Joshua said to himself thoughtfully.
"Maybe a different name would be better."
Eagle nodded slightly, looked at the warrior, and spoke softly.
"The evil god invades."
