Chapter 593: The World's Daoists Are Family!
In a way, religion and idolatry are the same thing.
If you continue to think down along this line, then the world's largest idol fan group ...... There is no doubt that it is the Holy See.
After becoming the savior, the perception of this world also began to change, in Yi Cheng's view, the deeds of the gods that circulated in ancient times are undoubtedly the appearance of extraordinary abilities in the eyes of ordinary human beings, and in this way, as the largest organization of extraordinary abilities in the world, the existence of the Holy See has obviously become reasonable.
In fact, the Holy See is also the only organization of supernatural beings in the world that is allowed to "properly display extraordinary abilities during the day", because its religious nature means that even if it shows its abilities, it will not arouse any suspicion among ordinary people. At the same time, given the stability of ordinary human society, there is occasionally a need for similar "miracles" so that those who are obsessed with religious beliefs will not suddenly become hollow-eyed salted fish because they have lost their dreams.
However, the popes who usually appear on TV, those who have a big beard, walk tremblingly, and are enough to bring stability and trust to people by age alone are different from cardinals, as a messianic organization, the real composition of the Holy See, including the archbishop who was seen in the last meeting, and the cardinal who is now on the scene, and even the real leader "Pope", these people in power hidden in the eyes of ordinary people are obviously lovely girls.
"Perhaps...... This is also the root cause of the repeated indecent appearance of cute boys in the news? After all, this setting sounds more reasonable than what is passed on by ordinary people......"
Of course, this topic cannot be delved into due to its sensitivity, but this does not prevent Yi Cheng from having a cordial and friendly exchange with the noble cardinal, the spokesman of God's authority on earth, from the Apennine Peninsula.
"Saviors of the Celestial Empire who have come from afar, Gui'an, may you bathe in the grace of God."
In the regular order of the Holy See from top to bottom, from left to right, the outline of the cross was lightly drawn on the edge of the plump chest that could not be concealed by the loose bishop's robe, and the cardinal, who still had a helpless smile on his face because of the reckless words and actions of Miss Fang Cailong, also gave him the blessing of God in this natural gesture when Yi Cheng came to greet him.
"This ...... It's a bit presumptuous, but I'm actually an atheist. β
"And God said, Believe me or not, I will be there, not going away, not leaving."
ββ¦β¦ I don't read much, don't lie to me, isn't this sentence a poem of the Celestial Empire? β
"Huh? That's right......"
The cardinal, who had been exposed to the truth by Yi Cheng, smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Because it sounds like a sentence that proclaims God's grace, I used it."
Speaking of which, probably fearing that her actions might be a disgrace to the gods, she added in a whisper.
"But to be able to write such a verse shows that the author also received God's grace."
ββ¦β¦ That's true, but if I'm not mistaken...... The author of this poem is probably a monk of Tibetan Buddhism. β
ββ¦β¦β
It's embarrassing.
The conversation unexpectedly took a bad turn from the start, and Yi Cheng even saw a faint flush on the cardinal's cheeks.
"This ...... This probably proves that everyone believes in the same God. β
That's rightβdidn't the Celestial Empire also have the legend of Lao Tzu sending a letter to Guguan and turning Hu? As the saying goes, Buddha is the Tao...... Add to that God, and the true explanation of the Trinity may be true.
In any case, as a gentleman, in the face of the small mistakes made by a cute girl, Yi Cheng was able to tolerate generously, so next, he also helped change the topic with interest.
"All in all, I am a savior from the Celestial Empire's Savior Management Office, codenamed 'The Protagonist', and I am very happy to meet a distinguished bishop here."
"Ah, I am the third cardinal of the Holy See, whose Christian name is 'Richelieu.'"
Well...... I don't know why, when I hear this name, there is always a kind of ** who wants to come up and lick two bites.
Presumably sensing Isei's ill-intentioned gaze, Bishop Richelieu quietly took a half-step back, and a holy smile reappeared on his lovely, puffy face.
"The Holy See has been informed of your visit through the United Council of the Saviors, and ......"
As she spoke, she glanced at Eliza, who was nervous and wary beside Yi Cheng, who had almost ripped off the belt of his kimono.
"His Holiness the Pope was already very pleased to hear the message that the creatures of darkness had received God's grace to abandon darkness and turn to light."
"I'm not a dark creature......"
Hearing herself being referred to as a distinctly derogatory term like "dark creatures," Eliza muttered an unpleasant expression before hiding herself behind Eicheng again.
There is no way around it, and while things like garlic, silver bullets, and crosses can't do any real damage to vampires, the Holy See's saviors, as one of the few confirmed "patrons of the Light" in this world, are indeed much more powerful when dealing with otherworldly beings like vampires who are good at dark forces and have a different body structure than humans.
As I learned through the two-dimensional star Adali before, as a power that can be called a bug in the entire universe, the power of the Holy Light is the fundamental reason why the Holy See is truly standing tall and has the transcendent status and privileges it has today.
However, in any case, after learning that the Holy See had accepted Eliza's existence, Yi Cheng was also relieved.
That's right, as the second goal of Yicheng's trip, it is to get the vampire Eliza to be recognized by the Holy See, so as to whitewash her identity from a black vampire to a righteous warrior, and now it seems that this goal, which was originally thought to be difficult, is not difficult.
"In that case, when I arrive at the Holy See tomorrow, I will really thank the Pope for his crown."
"It has always been a great idea for us to accomplish the grace of God that all living beings in this world may have been working hard to accomplish."
Richelieu made another cross on his chest, then smiled and nodded to Icheng.
"Presumably, after the baptism tomorrow, His Majesty the Pope will be happy to receive you."
"Huh?"
Yi Cheng was about to nod his head when he suddenly felt as if he had heard something strange.
"That baptism is...... What's going on? β
"This is also the result of the careful consideration of His Holiness the Pope, who decided to baptize dark creatures who have turned from darkness to light, in order to prevent the deception of God, in order to thoroughly cleanse their bodies of filth and evil."
"Wait...... It shouldn't have been in the previous communication, right? β
"Yes, this is the latest decision made by His Holiness the Pope before I travel."
Cardinal Richelieu said this, and suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Yi Cheng.
"In addition, according to the will of His Holiness the Pope, in addition to the dark creature beside you, I am afraid that you yourself will also need to be baptized."
