Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 258 The Foundation of the Holy See

When Ike arrived at the Vatican, the Holy See was ready.

They dismissed ordinary people in the Vatican, including tourists, most of the Pope's guard, and many priests, bishops, etc. Even the Pope temporarily left here through a secret passage and was protected by the Italian Ministry of Magic.

Standing in front of the only passage into the Vatican, Ike's way was blocked by twelve Pope Guards wearing bright silver armor, holding shields and spears.Their armor is very bright, and a silver light flashes quickly from time to time. It can be seen that it is a fine product made by goblins.

"Stop! Intruder!" A man stepped forward, pointing a spear in his hand and shouting loudly.

Ike didn't say a word, he took out his wand and tapped it on the suitcase, made it smaller and then put it in his pocket, then swung it forward violently, a monstrous flame appeared out of thin air, and crushed those people's heads and faces.

"Defense!" After a loud shout, the 12 people stood up their shields in unison, and a strange wave of magic passed by, forming a huge silver shield in the air.The flame hit the shield, making a crackling sound, and obvious cracks appeared on the shield.

"Crack, click..."

The guards gritted their teeth, barely keeping their shields intact.However, Ike, who was not in the mood to play turn-based games with this group of guys, saw the opportunity, and threw another ray of magic front Wuying, easily smashing the silver shield, and the blazing flames instantly engulfed them.

Ike kept walking, flicking his sleeves lightly, and a passage appeared in the flames.Amidst the miserable shouts of the guards, he passed quickly and came to St. Peter's Square.

There was no one in the square, only the huge stone pillar transported from Egypt in AD 40 stood alone in the center of the square.Ike glanced at it for a while, and his speed didn't slow down at all, and he ran straight in the direction of the Vatican Palace.

From a distance, he had already seen the five people guarding the palace gate.

They only wore a white robe, with their right arms exposed, and their beards and hair were white.He didn't wear shoes on his feet, and stood barefoot on the steps in front of the Vatican Palace, holding a long wooden stick in his hand, with something wrapped in the top, emitting a soft white light.

"boom!"

Ike stopped under the steps, but the five of them took a step forward in unison, and the wooden sticks in their hands paused on the ground, making neat sounds.

"The heir of the Dark Lord, get out of here immediately!" The old man in the middle said in a muffled voice, the voice was not loud, but it could clearly reach Ike's ears.

"Hand over what you once took from the wizard, and I will leave!" Ike pointed his wand at the old man who spoke, his tone was very firm.

"heresy!"

The old man heard the words and shouted, then raised the wooden stick in his hand, the top of which was shining brightly, and a huge white light hit Ike directly.

Ike didn't recognize what kind of magic it was. He expected it to be unique to the Holy See. With a wave of the wand in his hand, a golden beam of light shot up into the sky and hit it directly.At the same time, the left hand stretched forward, and the double protection of the silver light shield and the white barrier appeared, counting as insurance.

In the air, the beams of light slammed into each other fiercely, and the golden color gained the upper hand in an instant, pushing the white beam of light towards the five old men.The elders would not sit still, two of them also raised their long sticks, and two beams of light that also emitted bright white light instantly melted in, causing the golden color to stop just like that.

The other two didn't even watch the show, and as soon as they lifted their robes, they rushed down the steps holding their long sticks, still shouting "heretics" in their mouths.

"when!"

The long stick hit the protection in front of Ike almost at the same time, and a small crack was directly hit under one blow.Ike looked at it coldly, stepped out with his right foot, and a golden mysterious magic circle suddenly appeared under his feet, and the huge force instantly sent the two people flying.

Taking another step forward, the magic circle expanded rapidly. With five fingers stretched forward and then yanked fiercely, the bodies of the two old men who flew out suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then fell to Ike's body at a very fast speed. behind.

After two muffled bangs, the two old men fell beside the stone pillar in the center of the square, but the long sticks in their hands fell lightly to Ike's feet.

He glanced down, hooked the long stick with his foot, and it fell into his hand.With just one glance, he recognized what was wrapped on the top, it was just Mithril, but the material of the wooden stick was very interesting, he had never seen it before.

The three old men who were still persisting watched helplessly as the long stick in Ike's hand became smaller and put it in his pocket again. This scene put them under even greater pressure.It was hard for them to imagine that all this was done while Ike was still in a stalemate with them.

The gap is beyond imagination.

After putting away the wooden stick, Ike turned his attention to the three people who were still standing on the steps. With a light flick of his right wrist, countless golden threads emerged from the tip of the stick, spinning along the beam of light and attacking the opposite party. White beams of light.

In the blink of an eye, the gold thread wove a neat pattern on the surface of the white beam of light, and wisps of white light were stripped off and fell into Ike's hands along the gold thread.

"So that's how it is..." As soon as Bai Guang got it, Ike understood the principle of this magic. It was actually quite similar to the Patronus Charm, but what drove them was not happiness, but devotion to the so-called "God". .

"This is what you rely on? It's not good..." As he spoke, he waved his wand lightly, and the golden thread increased rapidly, dismembering the magic of the old people in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the golden and mysterious magic circle under his feet also Include them.

With a slight wave of the wand downward, a dozen golden threads bound the three people in the air.Ike approached slowly, stretched out his hand and snatched the long stick from the old man's hand, and asked, "What material is this?"

"Heretics! The Lord will punish you!" The old man roared with his eyes wide open, as did the other two, speaking loudly in a language that Ike could not understand.There is no need to understand, left and right are not good words, and Ike is not in the mood to spend with them and them, so he directly snatched the long stick from their hands, shrunk it down and put it in his pocket.

It's just a little trouble in the future, and sooner or later you will know.

Waving their hands, the three of them fell hard to the side of the stone pillar under the pull of the gold thread, followed in the footsteps of their companions, and passed out directly.Ike withdrew the magic circle under his feet, and walked into the Vatican Palace under the protection, which has been the residence of the Pope since the fourteenth century.

Walking into the palace, you will see a wide hall. After passing through a gorgeous door inlaid with gold thread, you will find a spiral staircase leading to the top floor. There are three more doors on the wall, one of which is locked. See a huge cross in the innermost part of the room.

Stepping in, it is the world-famous Sistine Chapel, and the ceiling is Michelangelo's masterpiece "Genesis".After a hasty glance, Ike left. There was nothing he was looking for here.

After a quick search of the Vatican Palace, Ike found nothing. There are no magic items and no magic fluctuations. It is just an ordinary residence.

He walked out with a cold face and looked at the stone pillar in the middle of the square. The five old men were still lying there quietly.After beckoning, the remaining long stick also fell into his pocket.Walking over, he drew out his wand and tapped it on the head of an old man, and said softly:
"Legilitivization..."

Ike quickly searched for information useful to him, but what he heard and saw in the old man's mind seemed to be covered with a veil, as if there was a force protecting those secrets.After looking at it hastily for a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and immediately became ruthless, and simply broke through the protection.

At this moment, Ike suddenly woke up from the state of Legilimency, and looked solemnly at the Vatican Palace, which had just come out for a while.

There, there was a powerful wave of magic, and soft white light shone through the doors and windows.Reminiscent of the quick glimpse just now in the old man's mind, Ike already knew what it was:
The last defense of the Holy See - an "angel".
