Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1279 The Twilight of the Gods (66)

Four and 10 minutes later, Constantine III's private helicopter arrived at the Pope's summer resort in Gandolfo Castle, 27 kilometers away from Vendigang.Speaking of Gandolfo Castle may be unfamiliar to most people, but other translations may be familiar to some—Gandalf Castle.

This is a mountain city located on the outskirts of Rome, on the highest peak of a rolling hill. In particular, the main building of the castle, the "Pontifical Building", is located at the highest point of Castel Gandolfo. Looking west and south, you can look at the Mediterranean Sea and the gentle slope in front of you. To the east, you can overlook the mountains and the Albano volcanic lake in front of you, and to the north, you can enjoy several mountain towns adjacent to Castel Gandolfo.The scenery is extremely beautiful, known as the pastoral of Rome, and it is the favorite sightseeing and holiday destination of the Romans themselves.

But it does not belong to Italy. To be precise, Gandolfo Castle belongs to the enclave of Vatican, and enjoys extraterritorial rights like Vatican.

The helicopter hovered on the top of the mountain for a minute or two, and then slowly landed on the lawn at the observatory on the top of the mountain.The observatory looks like a typical fortress-style castle, with walls and watchtowers. It is slightly shorter than the main building "Apostolic Building", but its scope is much larger than that of the single-family "Apostolic Building".Because there are not only the oldest observatory and astronomical telescope here, but also the educational institution of the church.

Constantine III stepped down from the helicopter first, and was greeted by priests in black robes and guards in guard uniforms.The leader is an elderly nun wearing a black nun dress and a black veil. She is the only registered nun in the entire Vatican. Maria is over 90 years old this year.

After Constantine and Sister Maria greeted him cordially, he followed Sister Maria and walked towards the light pink observatory. In order to make the saint happy physically and mentally, Constantine III, who has always disapproved of painting the castle, specially approved it. I spent a lot of money to paint the wall with new powder paint, which is more beautiful than the original one, and the ivory white dome and garden are also renovated, full of childishness, not as serious as before.

But the interior of the observatory is still full of gorgeous solemnity. After all, the authority and glory of the Creator are reflected in the decoration and atmosphere of this great temple.

Constantine III and Maria quickly walked through the main entrance hall and walked in the corridor of carved beams and painted buildings. The two old people walked like flying, and they did not look old at all.

"What is Xier doing?" Constantine III spoke softly, as if he was asking his own child.

"The saint is reading in the library." Sister Maria replied.

"She still hasn't opened her eyes?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, another year has passed, and she hasn't opened her eyes, nor has she spoken."

Constantine III sighed and said softly, "What a poor child."

"Isn't His Excellency the Pope going to preside over the Mass for the celebration of the Mother of God this morning? Why do you have time to come to the Observatory?"

Constantine III said worriedly: "I have to come. My 'big prophecy' gave me a strong premonition that Heyer must go to the east. If she doesn't stop the war, mankind will face judgment." The day is coming."

At this time, the group of people had already reached the door to the library. The upper half of the double-opening golden door was carved with a cross, and the lower half was carved with the Virgin Mary. between.Under bright light, the golden relief shimmers with a skin-like luster, giving it a lifelike feel.

Constantine III stood at the door, staring at the downcast Virgin Mary, and said in a low voice: "When I close my eyes, it seems as if I will see the Judge wearing a crown of thorns descending from the sky. He sits on a white throne, and all Those who have died stand before the throne and are judged according to their deeds in life. Those whose names are not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire and suffer the second death. The world has become a piece of blood and Sea of ​​Fire."

Sister Maria hurriedly raised her hand to hold the cross on her chest, and prayed in a sad low voice: "Our Lord, Ruler of all things, your name is Emmanuel: Although we once rebelled and resisted you, grace comes from you Grace and forgiveness are yours, pouring out between lips and teeth. We are no longer worthy to be called your servants, and we beseech you to remove our transgressions. We admit that it is your power to keep transgressions from us, but But not for Thy name's sake. Our wisdom is gone, our strength is waned, and all we can claim to be ours is nothing but sin, and shame, and confusion in the face of sin. Have mercy on us, Lord , have mercy on us! Save us! Amen!"

After praying, Sister Maria gently pushed open the heavy metal door, the pulleys made a soft sound, and the two doors opened to both sides at the same time.

Immediately, the morning sun came in from the tall windows opposite the room, and the breeze blew over. The mountain tops in January were filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers, plants and trees, which made people feel refreshed.The Albano volcanic lake surrounded by mountains outside the window is rippling with golden sparkling light, and a few soft white clouds are floating on the lake like a boat.The middle of the huge library is empty, surrounded by rows of tall bookshelves.On the severely worn beige floor, some white petals were blown by the breeze. Countless birds, butterflies and squirrels landed on the window lattice and ran around on the wooden floor. They all consciously circled around a closed window. The little loli with squinting eyes seems to be on a pilgrimage.

Little Lolita looks to be about ten years old. She is hugging a little wolf doll and kneeling on the futon in a white nun's attire. The long navy blue hair under the white veil hangs down to the floor and covers most of the futon. There is also a Butterflies adorn her forehead like hairpins.She sat motionless in the middle of a beam of sunlight. There were a few yellowed books around the futon, and the wind was constantly turning the pages of the books. Those small animals only read by the side of the books, but did not jump on the pages.

This kind of scenery and people are so beautiful, so beautiful that it doesn't look like the world, giving people a feeling of being in heaven.

"Heyer" Constantine III walked into the library and softly called her name.

Little Lolita turned her head, but her eyes were still closed. Her face was like a broken star, which made people feel inexplicably sad.You cannot describe her in concrete words, just as you cannot describe the universe in words.Watching her is like watching a huge nebula revolving and blooming in the lonely darkness, watching the Milky Way flowing among the stars.You feel yourself lying in the gutter, so filthy yet glimpses of such pure beauty, and all the sins and desires of the world are defeated.You will sincerely think that the world must become a better place because of her.

Constantine III walked up to the little Lolita, and slowly squatted down, and the little animals surrounded the little Lolita like guards.King Constantine III was not surprised by this, he smiled, took out an Ouroboros from his pocket, and handed it to Little Lori, "This is your thing, now it's time to return it to you .”

Little Loli seemed to be able to see the surrounding situation clearly with her eyes closed. She picked up the white lady's watch from Constantine's hand covered with deep palm prints in a leisurely manner without saying a word. , and she didn't see any movement, the watch was looped around her left wrist like a small snake.

"And these." Constantine III poured out a bunch of golden things from his pocket, including holy crosses, scarabs, holy nails, and Veronica holy pads. These things are all the most important things of the Holy See. Things, logically speaking, no one can take them out of the Holy See, not even the Pope, but everyone else turns a blind eye to it.

Little Lolita shook her head without even looking at those priceless holy artifacts.

Constantine III said with a sad face: "I really don't want it? Grandpa Constantine stole everything he could."

Little Loli raised her head, as if staring at the triple tiara above Constantine III's head through her eyelids.

Overjoyed, Constantine III took off the jeweled "Triple Crown" on his head, and solemnly put it on the little girl's head.

Wearing the "Pope's Crown", the little loli stood up from the futon with the little wolf doll in her left hand, as if the saint had descended.

The surrounding priests, guards, and Sister Maria all knelt down and prayed in a low voice.

Constantine III made the sign of the cross on his chest, and whispered contentedly, "Now I will ask Sister Maria to take you to a place." He stared at little Lolita, and smiled kindly involuntarily, "But I don't know Where is it, only you know."

Sister Maria came over, bent down and took little Lolita's hand, and asked softly, "Heyer, tell me, where should I go?"

Little Loli stood up from the futon with the little wolf doll in her left hand, raised her white and slender fingers and pointed to the southeast.

"Then let's go!" Sister Maria said softly.

Wearing a bright crown, the little Lolita closed her eyes, carried the little wolf doll, and dragged her long hair, which was taller than her, followed Sister Maria out of the library step by step.The birds, butterflies and squirrels followed her out of the library.The originally quiet and beautiful library suddenly became gloomy, and even the sunshine was not so bright.

Constantine III stared at the back of the little loli, made the sign of the cross, and chanted devoutly in a low voice: "Oh, God, please grant us the grace to ask if you are willing What we do; ask the Spirit of wisdom to deliver us from all wrong choices, and that in Thy light we may see light, and that by our Lord we may not stumble in Thy straight path." He sighed softly, " Amen!"
