Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

Finally, after climbing thousands of steps, they finally arrived at the Pope's Palace, where they came into close contact with one of the highest figures in the entire world—the Pope of Lateran, a man with white beard and hair, but still full of energy the elderly.

The moment Angel Angel and Mostima entered the Pope's Palace, they heard an old and majestic voice echoing in their ears.

"Mostima, long time no see. This time...you seem to have brought me some bad news?" "Yes...I'm very sorry, His Excellency."

After hearing that old voice, Mostima lowered his head and knelt on the ground on one knee. While kneeling down, he also gave a hand to the Angel who was standing stupidly beside him.

Even if the angels can mess around in ordinary times, they must have proper etiquette on such a formal occasion... especially in front of the Pope.

Neng Angel didn't show her stubbornness here without knowing it, and took advantage of the opportunity to kneel down with Mostima.

In the past, Angel could only see the figure of the Pope from a distance during the important festivals of Lateran every year. This was the first time she saw the Pope at such a close distance.

Half-kneeling on the ground, the Angel of Power was secretly watching the Pope not far ahead from the corner of his eye.

If one ignores the gorgeous robes on the Pope and the scepter in his hand, he looks like a very ordinary old man, looking at the two with kind eyes, without any special features at all.

But... the only thing that is special is the Pope's age.

The lifespan of the Sakota family is no different from that of other common races. It is not a special long-lived race, but in the memory of the angel, since she was very young, the pope has been like this for more than ten years. The passage of time did not seem to leave even a trace on his body.

"You two, get up first. Tell me what happened, Mostima."

After getting the pope's permission, Mostima pulled the angel to stand up together.

Just when Angel Neng was guessing what was going on in his heart, he heard Mostima on the side say, "My mission has failed, and there may be a problem with the seal."

Saying that, Mostima took off the staff from his body and handed it to the guard at the side.Afterwards, the guards handed the two staffs to the Pope.

"It looks like it's completely broken..." Looking at the two staffs that were almost completely broken in his hands, the Pope couldn't help sighing, "Mostima, give me these two staffs first." Keep it, and I will return it to you after I repair them."

"Follow your arrangement."

After looking at the two staffs for a while, the Pope then handed them over to a guard next to him. After making a gesture to the guard, the guard left the Pope's Palace with the two staffs. He did not know where he was going. place.

"Not long after I arrived at Longmen, the 'Black Lock' and 'White Key' suddenly changed and became what they are now." Mostima explained, "It is very likely that there is a problem with the seal, so It affects their condition."

"The seal... Maybe it's like what you said." The Pope smiled, and he didn't seem to take what Mostima just said to heart at all.

"Master Pope!!"

Seeing the Pope like this, Mostima became anxious, regardless of her identity, she shouted loudly in the Pope's Palace, "We should send judges to the place where the seal is located as soon as possible to investigate the situation there!! "

"The mistakes made a few years ago must never happen again!!"

Seeing Mostima's agitated look, if there was not a guard by the Pope's side, the angel believed that she would rush directly to the Pope's side and grab him by the collar.

It's been a long time since I've seen Mostima lose his composure... What exactly is the seal they mentioned just now?

"Mostima, I understand how you feel,"

The Pope slowly suppressed his smile, pressed his hand towards Mostima, and said solemnly, "But at this time, it's better for you to calm down first."

breathe--

After taking a few deep breaths, Mostima gradually calmed down, "...Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

After Mostima calmed down, the Pope said unhurriedly, "I have roughly understood the situation of the seal, but before that, I have one more question to ask you. How's it going?"

Hearing this, Mostima was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled why the Pope asked this question at such a time, but she still replied honestly, "There was a little accident during the mission, when I When I arrived at Longmen with Phoenix, the target had already left."

"Because we couldn't track the target's next movements, Phoenix and I stayed at Longmen for the time being. Shortly afterwards, there were problems with the black lock and white key."

"Hmm... In other words, you didn't directly contact the target?"

"Yes." Mostima said firmly.

After receiving an affirmative answer, a clear look flashed in the pope's eyes, and he said, "I will send someone to deal with the sealing matter later. You don't need to worry, I already know what happened there."

Mostima frowned and said after a moment of silence, "I want to participate in this operation too."

But the Pope flatly rejected her request, "You don't need to participate in this matter, and you have more important tasks on your shoulders."

"You should be very clear that I can't trust others to do this." Mostima said not to be outdone.

The Archangel stood aside, silently listening to the dispute between Mostima and the Pope.

To be honest, she was a little confused about the relationship between these two people. According to common sense, the status of the pope should be far above Mostima, but judging from Mostima's performance just now, she It seemed that he didn't care that the person in front of him was the Pope...and the Pope didn't care about Mostima's faux pas.

After arguing with Mostima for a while, the Pope finally came to an agreement with her reluctantly.

In this matter, both parties have made a certain degree of concession. Mostima will not participate in the investigation of the seal, and will continue to perform the tasks assigned to her by the Pope. There is nothing to hide.

"Then let's leave this matter as it is." The Pope waved his hand and sighed wearily.

Afterwards, he shifted his gaze to Neng Angel, and said, "This child... is Neng Angel, right?"

"Huh? Eh... yes... I am the Angel of Power." Suddenly being called by the Pope, the Angel of Power didn't know how to answer, so he could only falter and haw.

"Mostima, you brought this child here this time, is there anything else you want to do?" the Pope asked.

"I want to tell her what happened at that time... I think the time has come to tell her, and she has the right to know about this matter." Mastema replied.

"Is it time already?"

Hearing this, the pope pondered for a moment, but did not agree immediately, but looked back and forth at the angel with scrutiny.

During this process, Angel Neng also noticed an imperceptible detail. When the pope saw the halo above her head, his eyes unexpectedly stayed there for two more seconds. After that, the pope retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened.
