Redemption of WWII

Chapter 183 Godfather vs Godson

Archbishop Montini led Liu Qi directly into St. Peter's Basilica. 【】There are only a few tourists in suits and shoes along the way.However, all tourists will bow down respectfully and quietly pay tribute to Archbishop Montini when they see Archbishop Montini.

The archbishop only nodded slightly to express his response.Liu Qi majored in architecture, and the history of European art was a compulsory subject.Those exquisite murals that only existed in books before, picture books of Bible stories.Liu Qi's eyeballs almost fell out.And when he came to the immortal statue of the Virgin, Liu Qi's heart was crying. If you use priceless to describe those worldly objects, then Liu Qi thinks that this sculpture of Michelangelo's youth should be the price.

The archbishop also noticed Liu Qi's obsession with the Madonna, so he said in a gentle and low voice, "My child, what you are seeing now is Michelangelo's work when he was 24 years old. This work is similar to Michelangelo's other works." There is a fundamental difference in the work…”

Liu Qi was obsessed with the statue of the Madonna and said involuntarily, "The grief of the Madonna embracing the dead son and the sense of obedience to God's will are vividly portrayed in the work. The pain of the Madonna shown here is completely different from the works after Angelo."

Archbishop Montini looked at Liu Qi in surprise, and then said, "Son, I didn't expect you to know so much about Michelangelo's early works. You really don't need to work hard to study hard."

Archbishop Montini knew that Michelangelo, as the immortal in the history of architecture, is the god of every architect, and Liu Qi is no exception.The princess and the others had long been accustomed to Liu Qi's unexpected artistic allusions that a playboy should know, so they didn't express surprise at Liu Qi's current attitude.

It took a long time for Liu Qi to come back to his senses. Liu Qi said, "Father, please forgive my gaffe. In front of the masterpieces of masters, I think everyone who loves art will lose their sense of normalcy."

Archbishop Montini said with a smile, "Children, I am very happy to be your godfather now that you have started to study art. Well, I will take you to those real treasures." After speaking, Montini The archbishop led Liu Qi and others into the core area of ​​the church, St. Peter's cemetery.

Liu Qi is not very interested in St. Peter's cemetery, because Liu Qi always has a concept that no matter how beautiful the cemetery is, it is only used for storing corpses, and the living people have no use at all.So Liu Qi just let Archbishop Montini lead carelessly, without revealing any interest in it.

However, Liu Qi is very interested in the luxurious utensils placed around the cemetery, because Liu Qi knows that none of the things that can be placed here are likely to be worse than the things in Saladin’s treasure house, and they are all of value. The physical baby.But Liu Qi just thought about this idea, and Liu Qi didn't dare to mess with these things.If one fails, it will attract the pursuit of Catholics all over the world.

Since Liu Qi had something to do, he casually asked Archbishop Montini, "Father, when I was at the door just now. Why do you guys seem to have some prejudice against our German SS? Did our SS do something?" Are you sorry about the Holy See?"

Archbishop Montini was a little surprised by Liu Qi's words, but he quickly said, "Son, those guards just now were not aimed at you personally. They were not aimed at the SS Army you served, but for another reason."

"Oh? There are other reasons. Isn't our head of state also a devout Catholic? Is there any reason why our SS army is so unpopular?" Liu Qi asked strangely.

"It's all because of our Vatican radio station, because our Vatican radio station broadcasts some true and free news, bringing a glimmer of hope to those people in Europe who have been devastated by war. This has caused dissatisfaction among some German executives , and clamored to shut down our radio station. That's why those guards have some resistance to Germany. But you don't care about them, it's just the practice of some naive young people." Archbishop Montini said.

Only then did Liu Qi understand that this was probably a good thing done by the propaganda minister of the head of state. Goebbels must have said a lot of words threatening the Holy See, which is why Germany became very unbearable in the eyes of the Holy See.

Archbishop Montini said again, "Actually, those guards have been a little too presumptuous recently, and they didn't even pay attention to me. Those guards should be replaced."

Liu Qi was quite sympathetic to the guards at the door, so Liu Qi said, "Father, I'll forget it. In fact, we did it first. If the guards didn't say those nasty words casually, we wouldn't have to fight with them." .”

Archbishop Montini smiled and said, "Hehe, young people, it is inevitable to fight for love for the sake of love. This is understandable. If the ancestors of the Swiss guards hadn't defended the Holy See with their lives and killed many people in battle , their descendants will not enjoy the treatment of the Pope's guard for generations. By the way, Andri, you haven't introduced me to the two ladies beside you. Such beautiful two ladies, if I were younger, I would even know Tempting."

Liu Qi is not shy, anyway, everyone will think so when seeing Liu Qi with two princesses.Liu Qi didn't bother to explain.So Liu Qi said, "Father, one of these two is the Egyptian princess 'Afaf and Amir'. This one is the British princess Elizabeth. I met them in Egypt. This time they are specially traveling to Rome. .”

"Oh, two princesses. What..., Andre...you mean two princesses?" Archbishop Montini heard that there were two princesses standing in front of him, and almost stumbled.

Liu Qi hurriedly supported Archbishop Mengdini, and said, "Father, be careful. It's no big deal, there are only two princesses. If you want it, you can just keep one. Why be so excited." Liu Qi didn't even let his godfather off, and just made fun of him.

Archbishop Montini smiled wryly, and said, "You child, why are you still so glib, I thought you were different from before. Come on, you really have old habits that die hard."

In the end, Liu Qi didn't understand whether Archbishop Montini was talking about himself, or whether he had a habit of finding girls.But Liu Qi didn't bother to think about it, anyway, he was used to being misunderstood.So Liu Qi said, "It's okay, father, if you don't want it, I'll keep it for myself, and you can just pretend that the two of them don't exist. By the way, father, you just said that His Majesty the Pope wants to see me. What's going on? Do you want me to donate some money to the Holy See? But you also know that I have joined the SS since I left home, and there are only some meager allowances every month. I really don’t have any money. Both princesses can stay, let the two princesses be here..."

Before Liu Qi finished speaking, 'Alfaf, Amir' and Elizabeth pinched Liu Qi's arm from left to right at the same time, and then twisted hard.Liu Qi couldn't help screaming in pain.Liu Qi hurriedly said again, "Okay, don't stay, not a single one."

'Afaff, Amir' and Elizabeth let go of Liu Qi's arm, then gave Liu Qi a hygienic eye, and said almost in unison, "Let you talk nonsense, be careful of your skin." But the two More people have a touch of bright red on their faces at the same time.

Archbishop Montini finished the little farce with a smile and said, "Andrei, you are still the same as before, nothing has changed. Why would His Majesty the Pope ask you for money? Our church will not be so poor. Your little SS allowance. His Majesty the Pope is looking for you for something else."

"Oh? How could the old Pope know that there is a person with my number, and he still wants to meet me by name. Did you say something to His Majesty the Pope?" Liu Qi naturally thought that Archbishop Montini was like the Pope by accident He mentioned his name, and His Majesty the Pope just wanted to meet him.

"I never mentioned your name. His Majesty the Pope just knows that I have a godson. I have so many things that I don't have the time to tell His Majesty the glorious deeds of my godson." Archbishop Montini said.

Liu Qi knew that the glorious deeds mentioned by Archbishop Montini must be referring to the playboy of his predecessor.But Liu Qi didn't care, Liu Qi said, "Then why does His Majesty the Pope want to see me?"

Archbishop Montini said, "Then you have to ask His Majesty the Pope yourself, I don't know very well."

"Then when can we go to see His Majesty the Pope?" Liu Qi asked.

"His Majesty the Pope is bathing and dressing up, and he will send someone to call us soon." Archbishop Montini said.

"Oh, does His Majesty take a bath at this time every day?" Liu Qi raised his watch, and the pointer pointed to the position of three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Isn't it? His Majesty the Pope took a bath just to see you." Archbishop Montini looked at Liu Qi with a complicated expression.

Liu Qixin said, "The Pope is very polite, but he has to take a bath and change clothes to see me. People who come to church still know more about etiquette than outsiders." But what Liu Qi didn't know was that usually even the kings of other countries would have to wait in advance to see the Pope. After making an appointment for a few days, it still depends on whether the Pope is happy or not.

Liu Qi was thinking wildly, when suddenly a group of guards came out from the small door next to him, and these guards were all wearing extremely grand uniforms.The guards soon came to Liu Qi and the others.Then a very spirited knight said, "His Majesty has invited Princess Andri, Princess Elisabeth, and Princess 'Afafe, Amir' to the Pope's Palace." Then he respectfully made a very chic gesture of invitation to Liu Qi and others.
