Doomsday Totem

Chapter 197
It was a sunny day with a clear blue sky and a few white clouds drifting by occasionally.

In the afternoon, the sun shines brightly on the greatest city ever created by mankind - the Eternal City.

Looking from a distance, one after another majestic buildings are rising from the ground, bathed in pale golden light.And above the city, at an altitude of several thousand meters, there are five islands floating quietly.

The Eternal City in the afternoon looked bustling yet peaceful, crowded yet tidy.

At this time, on the second-highest floating island "God-given Land", a distinguished guest is being welcomed.

A small airship slowly descended and landed on the lawn surrounded by flowers and bushes.After a soft sound of discouragement, the cabin door was flipped upwards, and a girl with delicate features and wearing a white tunic came out.Followed by them were twelve tall guards in black power armor.

At this moment, the afternoon sun shone directly on the black iron skull cross on the chest of the power armor, and it shone brightly, dazzling.Judging from the style and logo, this is the exclusive psychic power armor "Ugin Lie Sun" of the Templar Iron Guard. It is an upgraded version of the second-generation psychic power armor "Scorching Sun" customized by the Temple. It has extremely strong defense capabilities.

After stepping off the airship, the girl took a look around, and then led the twelve iron guards, strolling along the exquisite white stone road, heading east.At this moment, the "land bestowed by the gods" was as quiet as ever, and the iron guards' boots pressed against the stone slabs, and there was a slight crackling sound.

The apron is located in the very center of the floating island. To the north is the "Cemetery of the Holy Sword", the place where the spirits of the Temple and Notre Dame sleep; "Praying Moon Temple", the headquarters of Notre Dame; to the east is "Sun Temple", the headquarters of the temple.

After a while, a large building appeared in front of the girl.Looking up, the building is in the shape of a rectangle, with a gentle triangle at the top. Visually, it has a height of more than 300 meters, a length of more than [-] meters, and a width of more than [-] meters.

This is the legendary "Sun Temple", the headquarters of the temple.The girl walked all the way, passed through dozens of Roman stone pillars surrounded by eight people, and walked directly into the temple.The guards in the past nodded their heads in salute, and the girl drove straight in, and came to a giant statue more than 80 meters high.

Looking up, the statue is wearing armor and holding a shield, looking into the distance with a dignified expression.This is a statue of Sul, the sun god, the only true god worshiped by the temple.But what is interesting is that the sun god Sur was a woman in ancient mythology, but this statue is a man.

The girl faced the statue, put her hands on her chest piously, and bowed to salute.At the same time, with a "shua" sound, the twelve iron guards neatly knelt down towards the statue.They naturally lowered their left hands, touched their chests with their right hands, and bowed reverently in salute.

When the ceremony was over, the girl stretched out her finger, and the iron guards immediately dispersed two by two, and stood on both sides of the statue in two teams.The girl made a "stand by" gesture, and then walked into the depths of the Sun Temple alone.Not long after, she came to an arched wooden door and gently rang the copper bell beside the door.

"Come in." A deep voice came from the room.

The girl opened the door and walked in. This is a small study room with a thick red carpet on the floor. Various books are scattered on the red carpet. There is a small desk in the middle and a simple oil lamp on the desk. And a can of ink with a long feather stuck in it.

At this moment, a hale and hearty old man in white and red is standing in front of a small book and reading letters.When he looked up and saw the person coming, he immediately showed a kind smile, opened his arms to meet him, and then hugged him gently.

"My little princess, my pride, my granddaughter, why are you here?" the old man looked at the girl dotingly and asked with a smile.

"Grandpa~ Didn't you ask me to come?" the girl said coquettishly.

"Oh..." The old man patted his forehead lightly and said, "Look, I forgot about it." If an ordinary person were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked. The old man is the most powerful man in the world today, the actual leader of the two most powerful troops of mankind, the Templar Crusade and the Dawn Expeditionary Army, and the current Pope of the Temple--St. Auguste Modlai pause.

And this small, even somewhat messy study is the office of the pope today.In this small room of less than eight square meters, decisions that shake the world will be made at any time.But the strange thing is that the popes of all ages seem to have little pursuit of office space. The senior officials of Notre Dame who know this often call it "the coachman's hut" in private.

"Come on, take a look at this." The old man said as he handed the stationery to the girl.The latter took it and looked at it for a while, and there were three proposals written on it, namely "Comprehensively restore the identity of the worm", "Comprehensively restore the development and production of mechanical power armor" and "Completely stop the purge of minority heretics".

"This is an old question that the Central Continent raises every year. According to the past practice, we generally reject it, but this year's situation is a little different. Their investment in the war of planes has increased significantly, so we have to make some concessions." The old man explained from the side.

"The first item is definitely not acceptable, and neither is the third item..." The girl pondered for a while, then said, "Then let the second item be limited."

"However, resuming the production of mechanical power armor will lower the status of psykers," the old man reminded.

"So it's limited opening~" The girl raised a finger like a white onion, and added: "We only allow one company to produce, such as Great Wall Company. Their products are of low quality and will not pose much threat."

"Well..." The old man thought for a while, and said, "This plan is good, but only one company is allowed to produce, and other companies will be affected..." He thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, we Open production rights to all companies, but limit their output." After speaking, he returned to the small desk, picked up a quill, dipped some ink, and then calculated on the manuscript paper.After a while, he raised his head and said to the girl: "In the world, the total annual output is [-] pairs, and the specific quota is decided by the World Parliament.

In an instant, a decision to change the world pattern was settled in the seemingly casual conversation between the grandfather and grandson.The resumption of the production of mechanical power armor heralds the rise of traditional evolutionists and some worms...

After discussing things, the old man poured a glass of juice for his granddaughter.The latter took the juice, gently swept away the objects on the small desk, and then sat down on it.Taking a closer look, under the round buttocks is a proposal "Conferring Lifetime Honorary Titles of Nobility to Commoners".

"My little princess, do you want to drink it?" the old man looked at her kindly and asked kindly.

"It's sour, it doesn't taste good, I want ice crystal fruit wine..." the granddaughter muttered.

"Hey...you drank all the food in the inventory..." the old man rubbed his hands together and said awkwardly.At this moment, he is no longer the Pope of the Temple with all the power in the world, but an ordinary old man who dotes on his granddaughter.

"It's boring~" the girl sighed with disinterest.

"Oh, that's right..." At this moment, as if remembering something, the old man frantically took out a scroll tied with red satin from his robe, handed it over with a flattering smile, and said , "This is your birthday present this year."

The girl casually took the scroll and read it lazily.But it didn't take long before her face became serious, and she stared at the contents of the scroll with wide eyes, as if she couldn't miss a single word.This is not an ordinary scroll, but a title deed made of abyss leather.Three place names were impressively written on it: No. 36 Silver City "Atlantic City", No. 5 desert stronghold "Tyre Fortress", and the bottomless abyss stronghold "Thinker Fortress".After a while, she jumped down from the desk, faced the old man, and asked in disbelief, "Are they all mine?"

The old man nodded, and the girl immediately jumped up, like a cheerful bird, she threw herself into the old man's arms, put her arms around his neck and said, "Thank you, grandpa."

"Atlantic City was originally your mother's fief, and you are the legal heir, but..." the old man paused, his face froze, and he said seriously, "According to the usual practice, after inheriting your mother's fief, your name must be added My mother's last name is Mordleton."

"Hello, dear sir." The girl patted the old man's shoulder with a smile, then stretched out her hand pretendingly, and introduced herself, "My name is Yugo Lombard Modleton, the granddaughter of the Pope, from Atlantic City. Lord."

The old man held his granddaughter's hand helplessly, and shook it symbolically, and the dignity he had managed to squeeze out instantly disappeared.

"Your achievements last year have been unanimously recognized by the elders. Today, on behalf of the elders, I will grant you the two strongholds and the surrounding land. This is a benefit and a responsibility." The old man said earnestly, "Develop well and strive to become the third female Pope in the history of the Temple."

However, the other party didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and shouted: "I want Dawn Fortress."

"The time has not yet come..." The old man waved his hand and said, "If we want more land, the elders will accuse us of favoritism." He stroked his granddaughter's silver hair like a waterfall, and continued, "As long as it is managed properly, this Three territories can allow you to develop quickly."

"Okay." The girl replied obediently.

Half an hour later, she got up to say goodbye, and then led the twelve iron guards to leave the Temple of the Sun.In the airship, she couldn't wait to dial the video communication of her assistant Eva Green, and the first sentence she opened was: "Quickly check for me, am I really August's granddaughter?"

"What's wrong?" Eva asked with concern.

"He stuffed me with three big bags..." Yugo Lombal scratched his hair irritably, and said in a more emphatic tone, "It's all money!"
