"Akiyuya Autonomous Region?" The amiable old man asked with a puzzled expression.
"The so-called Akiyuya Autonomous Region is actually the original Akiyuya City located in the west of Tokyo. However, due to some special reasons, it received special permission from the previous and current cabinet, as well as the Emperor of Japan, to form the new Akiyuya City together with the neighboring Ashigashidachi. They also drafted their own constitution, set their own taxes, and formed their own independent government. Apart from still recognizing it as Japan's territory, it is basically an independent kingdom. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, they changed it to its current name." Nakayama Eiko explained. However, due to some reasons, or perhaps because she herself didn't know the relationship, she directly and vaguely glossed over some things.
"In Japan, this kind of thing can also be done?" The amiable old man asked in surprise.
"Of course not under normal circumstances, but Akiyuya City is a bit special, so it was allowed." Nakayama Eiko's face revealed a hesitant expression.
"Special?" The amiable old man asked again.
Nakayama Eiko turned her head and glanced at the old man. After meeting his bright eyes, she instinctively felt a sense of trust in him, causing her to hesitate for a moment before opening her mouth to explain. "I don't know the specific situation, but there are rumors that Akiyuya City is a place where espers gather. Legendary espers can be seen everywhere in the city. Moreover, the city's technology is advanced, far more advanced than the outside world by 30 to 50 years. Legendary virtual equipment and hovering cars have long been popularized in the city."
"So it's like that." The amiable old man nodded and said.
However, at this time, Nakayama Eiko and the old man seemed to have found a topic to talk about. One question and one answer, they chatted about the situation of Akiyuya City. However, Nakayama Eiko, who was immersed in chatting with the old man, didn't notice that the other old man and the dozen or so men and women didn't reveal any strange expressions on the surface, but secretly, they all pricked up their ears and eavesdropped on the two's conversation.
Like this, after about half an hour, until the bus stopped in front of a high-rise building in the central district, only then did it end.
Then, Nakayama Eiko straightened her spirit and returned to her female appearance. With a smile on her face, she led the passengers off the bus. They walked toward the building's main entrance.
The moment they walked into the building's lobby, a group of employees led by a tall and burly blonde middle-aged man wearing a black suit entered their sight.
"Welcome to the branch office inspection, Mr. Andrew." The blonde man immediately stepped forward. With a big smile on his face, he stretched out his hands and held the hand of the kind-looking old man.
"Patrick." My name is Patrick. "The kind old man named Andrew said with a smile.
"Alright, let the others disperse." Andrew glanced at the staff who came to greet him and ordered.
"Yes. com" Patrick quickly nodded. Then he turned to the staff door, he ordered, and ordered, he ordered the employees.
Upon hearing the order, the male and female employees bowed to Patrick and the old man in unison before dispersing and returning to their own work.
Then, Patrick sent Nakayama Eiko away and personally led Andrew and the others into the building. He took the private elevator to the office on the top floor of the building and brought Andrew and the others to his office.
However, the moment Patrick closed the office door, Patrick suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Andrew and the others. With his right hand on his chest, he lowered his head and said respectfully, "Greetings, Archbishop Andrew. Greetings, Archbishop Mark."
Needless to say, Archbishop Mark was the other old man. As for the others, since they were able to accompany the archbishop and had the temperament of a soldier, they must be the Guardian Knights of the Church. Otherwise, how could they set off the status and importance of the archbishop's position, which was only second to the Pope?
"Get up, Mr. Patrick." Archbishop Andrew walked to Patrick, who was kneeling on one knee, and pressed one hand on the other's head. His palm emitted a white light as he said softly.
Seeing Patrick's body bathed in white light, the eyes of the knights at the side immediately showed a look of envy.
"Thank you for your blessing, Archbishop Andrew." Patrick, who felt the changes in his body, first leaned over and kissed Andrew's black leather shoes with a look of excitement. Then, he raised his head and got up to express his gratitude.
The reason for his reaction was entirely because of the layer of white light on his body.
Just like what Patrick said when he expressed his gratitude, this ball of white light was a blessing in the Catholic Church. Of course, if it was just an ordinary blessing, Patrick would naturally not be so agitated, even if it was the archbishop who gave the blessing. However, the blessing this time was obviously different. Not only did it improve Patrick's physical condition and make him healthy, it also added a hidden attribute of luck, as well as the possibility of him not being disturbed by diseases and demons for at least five years, and the possibility of him becoming a true believer.
Health was needless to say, as everyone was willing to be healthy. Luck would allow people to stay away from danger and encounter good things easily. It could make people feel happy and happy. Although being free from diseases and demons for five years wasn't of much use, it was still better than nothing, especially in a place like Japan, where demons and demons often roamed around. As for the final possibility of becoming a true believer …
What was a true believer? It did not refer to the ordinary people who abided by the doctrines, abided by the rules, and wholeheartedly believed in God. Instead, it referred to the guardian knights standing behind and on both sides of the archbishop, or those unknown priests and bishops who had special powers. They were people who could be recorded in the Church's register!
Of course, there was a slight chance, but without receiving the Church's training from a young age and obtaining the cultivation method, it was completely wishful thinking to really rely on this slight chance to become a special person! However, as the saying goes, having a chance was better than having no chance at all, wasn't it?
"As a loyal lamb serving the Lord, this is what you deserve." Archbishop Andrew smiled.
"Alright, go and hand over the information to us." Archbishop Andrew then instructed.
"Yes." Patrick responded respectfully and quickly walked to a wall at the side. He moved the oil painting to reveal the white wall behind it. He reached out and pressed, and the wide square white wall immediately sank into the inside of the wall. From the right side of the wall, it disappeared into the wall, revealing a small safe inside.
Patrick entered the password and opened the safe. He took out a stack of documents from the safe and returned to Archbishop Andrew's side with both hands. He respectfully handed the documents over.
Andrew received the documents and lowered his head to flip through them.
Then, a blurry photo of Sei Itō, which should have been taken secretly, appeared in front of Andrew's eyes. Andrew, who had already seen the clear version of Sei Itō's photo, did not mind it. He moved it to the side and looked at the paper documents and other photos below.
Most of the information was about the situation in Akikuruno City. The photos were of artificial angels obtained from who knows where, as well as the current map of Akikuruno City. In short, everything about Akikuruno City was recorded in those few documents.
It was obvious that this group of people from the Church did not come here for a friendly visit. They came here with a goal against Akikuruno City. As for the reason, it had to be explained after Sei Itō screened the Samsara travelers some time ago.
Before the screening of the Samsara travelers, the Black Sphere Team had a large number of people. Basically, every team from every country had enough experienced warriors. Therefore, when they carried out the mission set by Sei Itō to target the Church's branches in various countries, they performed well. Therefore, the Church's people were held back. In order to protect the various branches of the Church, the Church was temporarily unable to mobilize capable people to deal with the problem of Sei Itō who summoned angels.
However, after the screening of the Samsara travelers, the number of members of the Black Sphere Team suddenly decreased sharply. Even if a large number of new people joined every day as replacements, it would still take a long time for them to form a certain level of combat power. Therefore, the pressure on the Church was reduced sharply. This gave the Church the ability to mobilize a group of knights to carry out the exploration or annihilation missions that they had put aside for a long time.
Exploration, needless to say, was to get in touch with Sei Itō who was under the protection of an "angel" and see if they could strive to pull him into the Church and get a legendary fighter for free. As for annihilation, since you are not willing to return to the Lord's embrace with the angel, then you can leave this world with the angel!
After about ten minutes, Andrew, who had finished reading the documents in his hands, passed them to Archbishop Mark who was beside him. The latter reached out to take the documents and lowered his head to read them.
Archbishop Andrew raised his head and looked at Patrick, who was standing respectfully at the side, and instructed, "Go and submit an entry application in the name of Martino Company."
The so-called submission of the application referred to submitting an entry application to the official organization of Akiyuko City. Only those who had obtained permission to enter the city could successfully enter Akiyuko City through the exclusive passage opened by Akiyuko City. Otherwise, no matter who they were or what they were doing, they would not be able to enter Akiyuko City.
This was also a choice that Akiyuko City had no choice but to make.
When Akiyuko City had just been built, a large number of Tokyo citizens were attracted by the uniqueness of Akiyuko City. They ran to the city every day with the intention of seeing the novelty and wanting to settle down. In addition, there were often a group of people with ulterior motives mixed in. Even if the security of the city was jointly handled by the multifunctional robots and hovering hovering in the sky, the security in the city was still a little worse. Therefore, in order to prevent similar situations from happening in the future, the Akiyuko City government directly set up guard posts at every intersection after obtaining the authorization of Erica who was in charge of managing the city at the time, to stop those who were bored and unnecessary. Only then did Akiyuko City regain its peace.
