"What are you talking about? His Majesty the Pope has disappeared again?" After hastily announcing the opening of the Open Day on the Holy Mountain, Archbishop Soth appeared in the lounge of the Great Chapel of Light, where a sweaty waiter was already waiting.

"Yes, the villain went to the Pope's Hall to prepare to serve His Majesty the Pope's crown to change clothes, only to find that His Majesty the Pope's crown had once again said goodbye without saying goodbye. "The attendant brought news that made Cardinal Sos laugh and cry.

Unlike the solemn and solemn image of the Pope propagated by the Holy See, the current Pope Gyllenhaal is an unruly leader who loves private visits, and it is not the first time that such a sudden disappearance has happened on a major occasion.

"Okay, I got it. Go down, keep this matter strictly secret, and if anyone asks, say that His Majesty the Pope is in retreat at the prayer tower. Cardinal Soth pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache.

"Is the prayer tower closed to the public this year?" asked the waiter cautiously.

"If the prayer tower is closed to the public if the custom is broken, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. Cardinal Soth glanced at the attendant, "In this case, the top floor of the prayer tower will not be opened, and the rest of the place will remain the same." ”

"Yes. The waiter bowed deeply and walked backwards out of the lounge.

......

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed since the opening day of the Holy Mountain, and in these two days, Elimente, who was born in a small place, can be regarded as an eye-opener. Whether it is the majestic and magnificent Great Chapel of Light, or the vivid and glorious icons, or the beautiful sacred garden, they all left a deep impression on him.

Electra was even lucky enough to blend in with the crowd to visit the observatory, and although he only glanced at the steps outside the observatory and was spotted and driven down by loyal guards without even seeing what it was like inside, it was enough to go back and boast of a lifetime of glory.

After visiting the observatory, one of the two secret sites of the Holy See headquarters (Ilement had already deceived himself into believing this, and anyway, none of the people who knew about him were from his native Sfeir region), Ilmente set his sights on the more mysterious Prayer Tower.

Especially when he learned that His Majesty the Pope was currently in retreat on the top floor of the Prayer Tower, Eliment was disappointed that he could not get the opportunity to be received by His Majesty the Pope, and at the same time, a somewhat whimsical and crazy idea came to his heart: if he could enter the top floor of the Prayer Tower, would he have a casual encounter with the Pope?—— Illement knew that he was just daydreaming, and the place of the Pope's retreat must be heavily guarded, just because of his little apprentice priest...... Well, fantasy doesn't drop a piece of meat, at least until the Holy Mountain Open Day is completely over, and this illusory chance is still a little bit there.

Eliment wiped a handful of saliva from his chin that didn't actually exist, and actively participated in the queue to apply to visit the prayer tower - when he visited the observatory not long ago, he was mixed in with the application team, and took advantage of the guards' inattention, and although he was soon found out, he still managed to stand at the door of the observatory and look inside—well, he couldn't see anything except the black pressed human head.

This time, after learning that the application to visit the prayer tower was open, Elemente repeated his old trick and mixed in with the queue that applied to visit the prayer tower. I don't know if it was his "piety" that really touched the Lord of Light, or if the sudden disappearance of the Pope caused people's hearts to fluctuate and the management of the Holy Mountain Open Day was chaotic, but Element was once again one of the lucky people who could visit the prayer tower - this time it was a real qualification.

The only thing that came as a bit of a surprise to Ilmente was that after qualifying, they were both required to sign their names on a sacred covenant. What puzzled him even more was that the sacred contract was all written in divine scripts he didn't know, and the senior priest who presided over the signing ceremony obviously didn't have the time and mood to interpret the contents of the contract to them—anyway, if you didn't sign it, there would be a lot of substitutes eager to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Accompanied by a group of holy knights, Eliment, together with 99 other "lucky people", followed a cardinal through a long and quaint tunnel to the back of the Holy Mountain, where there is a thousand-meter-high tower covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters, and the whole body is made of charged crystals full of divine power.

Element noticed that there was a huge bronze bell at the top of the prayer tower, which should be the Bright Bell of Light, one of the seven secret treasures of the Holy See, right?

Only the highest echelons of the Holy See know that this prayer tower, which looks like a string of clouds from a distance, is the true core of the entire Holy See.

"Before you actually step into the prayer tower, I have only one piece of advice: whatever appears before your eyes, whatever attracts you, follow my footsteps, otherwise the Holy See will not be held responsible for any accidents. After the half-admonishing and half-threatening warning at the gate of the prayer tower, the cardinal who led the team stepped into the gate of the prayer tower first.

'It's so mysterious, as if there's something unseemly!' Element, who didn't know the depths, couldn't help but look around, and pouted in disapproval. The act of signing the sacred covenant suddenly gave him the illusion that the Holy See, which he had been determined to devote himself to since he was a child, did not seem to be as upright as it was in the propaganda.

The other lucky people who were able to visit the prayer tower together showed a fanatical look on their faces, whether they were the elderly or young children, all of them expressed great enthusiasm for the upcoming visit.

Unbeknownst to Illuminte, their every move was secretly watched. In a large room on one of the floors of the prayer tower, there is a large crystal mirror. Outside the prayer tower in the crystal mirror, visitors are waiting to enter, and a group of mysterious people who hide their true colors behind a wide cloak are pointing fingers at them.

"This year's candidates seem to be of good quality~," one of the mysterious people said in a relaxed tone.

"But it's just good. A slightly older voice said.

"Don't do that. The chances of success are slim, and we should not pin our hopes on ...... Isn't it?" the previous voice seemed to be unqualified, and spoke in a slightly flattering tone.

"How many years have we not succeeded?" asked another somewhat hoarse voice.

"Ten years?" replied the old voice.

"It wasn't that long, I remember it seemed like the longest interval was a hundred years old. The hoarse voice said unhurriedly.

"Well, I'm too anxious. The man with less qualifications smiled and said, as if to hide his embarrassment, he suddenly pointed his hand towards the crystal mirror, "Hey, that young man looks a little different." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the crystal mirror, which showed Ilement looking around, his nonchalant expression contrasting with the fanatical faces around him.

"It's just a hairy boy. It's all gone, and it's destined to be disappointing again this year. The hoarse voice glanced at the scene inside the prayer tower for the last time, and waved it away.
