"So this is the Holy City …."
Looking at the pure white city in front of him, Fangzheng couldn't help but sigh.
Although Fangzheng had been to many worlds and seen many magnificent buildings, the capital of the Country of Saints still made his eyes light up. But the capital of the Country of Saints still made his eyes light up.
Fangzheng had heard rumors about the capital of the Country of Saints more than once. Whether it was Stone, Bishop Karl, or even ordinary holy knights, they all talked to him about the Holy City while chatting. Bishop Karl also once proudly told Fangzheng, "As long as you go to the Holy City, you will know that it is the most beautiful city in the world."
Now it seemed that Bishop Karl's confidence was not without reason.
Looking down from the sky, the entire Holy City gave the impression of a blooming white lotus. Pure white city walls intertwined with each other, forming the edge of the "petals", spreading in all directions.
"It's really beautiful."
What made Fangzheng sigh was not only the planning of the Holy City, but also its architectural structure. As mentioned before, the city looked like a blooming white lotus. This was not just a description of its appearance, but also its architecture. In the entire Holy City, the "petals" on the outside were houses. The closer to the inside, the more the "petals" naturally stood up, forming layers of tall buildings with curved shapes. At the very center of the city was the Holy City's main building that looked like a flower. It was composed of golden edges and white churches, which looked particularly dazzling from a distance.
No wonder the people of the Country of Saints were so proud when they talked about the Holy City. Even Fangzheng couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the city. This was not only because of the ingenious workmanship of the city itself, but also because all these ingenious workmanship were personally created by humans with their own hands. When one realized this and looked at the city again, it would only be more shocking.
"The area we're docking is at the airport. I remember Bishop Karl said that he would send someone to guide us … Oh, it seems like he's already here."
As soon as Fangzheng finished speaking, a group of armored knights riding on pegasi appeared on the screen in front of him. After witnessing the two gigantic warships, they revealed a shocked expression. However, they quickly regained their composure and the leading knight gestured to Fangzheng's side before turning around and flying to the other side.
"Let's follow them."
The Holy City's airport was located on the west side of the city. It seemed to be in the middle of the commercial district and the noble district. The arrival of the two battleships caused quite a commotion in the city. Although the Holy City was indeed a gorgeous and breathtaking city, it was still a city built on the ground, after all. In the face of the giant metal warship that soared in the sky, he still lacked confidence.
Compared to the Golden Bay, the Sacred City's airport was obviously much more luxurious. When Fangzheng left the warship and walked onto the platform of the spaceport, he could even see the clean and spotless floor beneath his feet and the gorgeous carvings on it.
"Welcome to the Holy City, Your Excellency Fangzheng."
It was Bishop Karl who was walking towards him. Behind him were several girls in priest robes and knights. Fangzheng glanced at them casually and did not see Fina. It seemed that the two of them were not from the same system.
"Hello, Your Excellency. It's been a while."
Fangzheng also bowed to Karl, and Bishop Karl nodded with a smile.
"Yes, Your Excellency Fangzheng, we also want to thank you and your subordinates for everything you've done to protect order … Well, please come with me. The banquet will start at nine o 'clock in the evening. Before that, His Holiness the Pope would like to meet you."
"Of course."
Hearing Bishop Karl's invitation, Fangzheng was taken aback for a moment, but he nodded. Following that, Bishop Karl smiled and made a gesture before walking to Fangzheng's side. The two walked forward together.
"What's wrong? Did you receive any information? "
When walking down the stairs, Bishop Karl did not look back, but his voice clearly appeared in Fangzheng's ears. Although Bishop Karl's question was somewhat out of the blue, Fangzheng still knew what he meant. After all, before attending the gathering, he had already told Bishop Karl the number of people he would be bringing with him on this trip. If it were someone else, they probably would not think much of it. But as long as Bishop Karl saw the list, he would notice something wrong.
"It's just a little premonition. I hope there won't be any trouble."
"I understand."
Bishop Karl, of course, knew that in addition to being a Paladin, Fangzheng was also a prophet. After all, he was the one who introduced Fangzheng to his teacher. As an old friend of that muscular mage, Bishop Karl was not surprised that a prophet would act mysteriously.
"I'll order the others to pay attention to the surroundings and report immediately if there's anything unusual."
Bishop Karl did not want anything to happen to Fangzheng in the Holy City. Even if it was just Fangzheng's misconception, he dared not take the risk. After all, Bishop Karl knew very well that if anything happened to Fangzheng in the Holy City, it would not be a good thing given the current situation. In order to ease or even repair the relationship between the two sides, the Holy Cathedral also used the opportunity of recovering the North to promote the "glorious deeds" of the Paladin Fangzheng in the country. Basically, they treated him as a "guardian of order" or something like that.
If Fangzheng were to be attacked in the Holy City, the problem would not be as simple as it seemed. It might even lead to a huge problem!
"Don't be so nervous. It's just a precaution, but if something goes wrong … I hope you can investigate it properly."
"Of course, even if Sir Fangzheng doesn't say so, we'll do the same."
Karl naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation. This was the capital of the Country of Saint, and the place where the banquet started was the Church of Holy Light. That was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Country of Saint. If Fangzheng was attacked there, who knew when His Holiness the Pope and the Supreme Bishop would also be attacked!
Such a dangerous person must be investigated to the end!
When Fangzheng followed Bishop Karl out of the port, he saw that the outside was already heavily guarded. There were fully armed soldiers everywhere, and some men and women in noble clothes. After seeing Fangzheng, many people looked at him respectfully. The various face-slapping incidents that Fangzheng had imagined did not happen, and no one came to look down on him. This was normal. After all, Fangzheng came in a battleship, and he was dressed in a luxurious and neat outfit. In addition, Bishop Karl was leading the way for him. Unless they had lost their minds, no one would be stupid enough to find trouble with him.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng suddenly felt that it was reasonable for the protagonists in the web novels he had read to be discriminated against when they attended banquets. After all, it was a banquet, and the host had to be respected. If you looked down on luxury cars and felt uncomfortable wearing good clothes, that was your own business, but in a formal occasion, you still had to show some courtesy, didn't you?
If you wore a T-shirt and took a taxi to a hotel to attend a banquet, how could you blame the waiter at the door for looking down on you? Fortunately, no one could stop Hong Qigong, or else he would have been kicked out of the door long ago.
"Bishop Karl."
Just as Fangzheng's mind was wandering as he criticized the posturing of online literature, an old voice suddenly sounded, interrupting his thoughts. Fangzheng looked up. Not far away, a tall and thin old man in a white bishop's robe was slowly walking towards them with a scepter in his hand. Seeing the old man coming, Bishop Karl hurriedly stopped and lowered his head.
"Supreme Bishop …"
"Don't stand on ceremony."
Facing Bishop Karl's salute, the Supreme Bishop raised his hand and gestured for Bishop Karl to raise his head. Then, he looked at Fangzheng with his cloudy blue eyes and stared at him with determination.
"You must be Your Excellency Fangzheng. I've heard a lot about you. I'm the Supreme Bishop of the Holy Cathedral, Mounbart."
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
Fangzheng put his hand on his chest and performed the Holy Knight's salute. Seeing Fangzheng's salute, a smile appeared on the old man's serious face.
"There's no need to salute me, Your Excellency Fangzheng. You're a Saint Knight. According to the rules of the Holy Cathedral, Saint Knights don't need to salute anyone other than the Pope. "
"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of this rule. "
Fangzheng was taken aback, while the old man chuckled.
"After all, the Holy Cathedral no longer has any Saint Knights … But to put it bluntly, these are things decided by us mortals on our own, so don't worry too much about it. I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. I'll see you at the banquet."
After saying that, the Supreme Bishop nodded at Fangzheng, then brushed past them and walked towards the end of the corridor.
Watching the Supreme Bishop's back disappear, Fangzheng turned around and looked at Bishop Karl beside him.
"Your Supreme Bishop doesn't seem to like me very much."
Although the two of them only exchanged a few words, Fangzheng was no fool. The other party's tone clearly indicated that he wanted to keep a distance from him. If Fangzheng still couldn't sense that the other party didn't welcome him, he would be a real idiot.
"Your Excellency the Supreme Bishop and His Majesty the Pope have … some conflicting views on some matters."
Bishop Karl didn't have much to say, so he could only vaguely mention it.
"His Majesty the Pope thinks highly of you, but Your Excellency the Supreme Bishop has reservations about you. After all … you're not a person of the Holy Church …"
A conflict between a religion and a country? But that was to be expected.
Hearing Bishop Karl's words, Fangzheng didn't say anything else. After all, with his current status and strength, he didn't need to … Wait a minute, he still needed to worry.
At least give him some face.
"This is the place."
Under Bishop Karl's lead, the two quickly came to the door at the end of the corridor. Bishop Karl made an inviting gesture to Fangzheng.
