The heavy wooden door slowly opened inward, and a dimly lit hall gradually unfolded before Meg's eyes.
In the deepest part of the hall, an old man with a crown on his head sat on a tall chair. A huge diamond-studded scepter shone brightly in his hand, evoking reverence and even an urge to kneel down and worship him.
Walking down the gem-studded stone steps, there was a small figure standing in the center of the hall.
A beam of light shone down from the dome and landed on her body. The specks of light shone brightly, as if covering her with a layer of golden gauze.
That little figure was none other than Amy, whom Meg had been looking for for a long time, but he didn't know why she was here.
"It's His Holiness. He won't hurt Amy," Luna said softly as she held back Meg, who was about to enter the hall.
Meg hesitated momentarily before stopping in his tracks. He looked at the old man sitting on the throne like a statue, and his benevolent face made one feel defenseless and defenseless against him. His light blue eyes were fixed on Amy as if he were looking at a dazzling diamond.
What is he trying to do? Meg was still a little wary. This pope, Kant, had killed two generations of kings of the Roth Empire, and watched the Church fall from prosperity to decline, but he had always kept the Church in check, and had never shown any hostility or retaliation. However, when it came to Amy, he still couldn't completely trust him.
Under the illumination of the golden light, Amy reached out her little hand curiously. She looked at the golden light in her hand, and a joyful smile appeared on her little face.
Specks of golden light began to converge on her back, forming a pair of semi-transparent golden wings. With a gentle flap, Amy's legs left the ground, and she hovered in the air.
"Wow! I can fly! "
Amy exclaimed in surprise. She tried to control the flapping of her wings, and her body flew higher and higher. Although it was still a little unstable, she was indeed flying.
"Meow, meow!"
Ugly Duckling looked up at Amy with a panicked expression as it waved its front paws with all its might, as if it were trying to fly.
"This light …" Meg looked at Amy in surprise. There were some races in this world that could fly, such as vampires, but normal elves were definitely not included.
Unless they could use magic to create wings, or they could borrow some magic items such as brooms and the like. However, there was absolutely no elf that could create a pair of wings out of thin air to fly without using magic.
Then, the only possibility was that the beam of light that fell on Amy was still following Amy like a spotlight even when she was flying.
However, Amy, who was flapping her little wings, still looked very cute. She was like a little flower fairy, and the holy light that shone on her made people unable to look away.
"The Chosen One! She really is the Chosen One. I didn't think … I really didn't think … "The Pope looked up at Amy, who was dancing in the golden light, and a hint of excitement appeared in his calm and wise eyes.
"Oh ho!!!"
Amy flapped her little wings and flew in the spacious palace. After a while, she suddenly discovered Meg and Luna standing at the entrance of the palace. She was immediately pleasantly surprised. "Father! Teacher Luna! Look, I can fly! "
Meg smiled and waved at Amy. "Amy, come down first."
"Mm-hmm." Amy responded obediently, and controlled her wings to fly toward Meg. However, she didn't control her speed well during her descent, and fell when she was about two meters off the ground. Fortunately, Meg reacted quickly and caught her.
"Heehee, I knew Father would catch me." A happy smile appeared on Amy's face. She turned her head and looked behind her. Her little golden wings were still there, and her smile became even brighter. She then said to the Pope, who was sitting high up on the throne, "Shiny old grandpa, I really have a pair of little wings now! Thank you. "
"You were chosen by God. If you want to thank someone, you should be thanking God." The Pope looked at Amy with a smile, and said, "Little one, are you willing to join our church and become the church's Holy Maiden? If you are willing, you can be crowned as the empress in the future and become the owner of this palace. "
Luna's mouth gradually gaped open. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The Pope wanted Amy to become the Holy Maiden, and was preparing to make her the next pope? This was crazy!
Meg also couldn't hide the shock on his face. Amy had only played hide-and-seek, and the Pope had chosen her to become the Holy Maiden, and she was going to be the next pope?
Even for someone like him who had seen the world, this development was a little difficult to digest.
Although the church was no longer as powerful and influential as it used to be, it still had a strong influence among the upper echelons of the Roth Empire.
Even when Andre ascended to the throne, he had to kneel on the ground and kiss the back of the Pope's hand. Only then would he be crowned as the true king.
However, the Pope had promised such a position in the Roth Empire to Amy so easily. This was like a dream.
Before Meg had a chance to think, Amy shook her head at the Pope with a serious expression, and said, "I'm sorry, shiny old grandpa. I don't like to sit so high up, and this palace is a little dark, so I don't want this seat. I want to live in the restaurant with Father. That way, I can eat all kinds of delicious food when I wake up every day."
An opportunity to stand at the pinnacle of the continent had been so easily turned down by Amy with the excuse of delicious food. This feeling was as if a bowl of sweet tofu pudding was more worthy of her affection than the Pope.
Fortunately, there was no one else here. Otherwise, Meg would have to be very careful and on guard against sneak attacks from jealous passersby.
The Pope was also clearly stunned. He clearly didn't think that someone would refuse to become the Pope, and use such a reason. He looked at Amy's serious expression, and smiled gently as he said, "If you become the Pope, you will have a lot of power. No one on the Norland Continent will be able to hurt you or the people you want to protect. Of course, you can also eat whatever you want. Someone will prepare everything for you."
"But I only want to eat Father's food. I only want to live with Father. I don't want to live with anyone else." Amy shook her head, and said, "Besides, I'm super powerful now. I'll definitely be able to protect Father in the future."
Meg felt that if this conversation were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
After all, no one in this world would reject the Pope's invitation and the opportunity to become the Pope for such a reason.
This … was indeed very crazy.
