To Four Thousand Years Later

Leonardo stared at Bishop Hector who was kneeling devoutly in front of him, but there was no complacency or arrogance on his face. The light in his eyes was so clear and penetrating, as if he was looking at experimental animals through a layer of glass. When Hector asked the third question, Leonardo knew where his information came from—because there was only one human being who had heard that sentence.

Only Leo III, who had personally experienced a gathering of demon gods and witnessed Leonardo putting on the ring, knew what the demon gods said to him at that time: "You have seen it before, thousands of nights were destroyed by the same dawn." Is it lit?

"We've met.

Up to now, Leonardo has no way of guessing. Before Leo III was elected pope, when he was still young, he saw dozens of demon gods and witnessed the scene of Charles transforming from a man into a god. What kind of impact did it cause.

But he seemed to be unable to forget that scene until he died of old age

That brilliance may have been frozen in his eyes and become eternal.

"Is this the message left by Leo III?" Leonardo asked.

"You are indeed so wise, my lord." Bishop Hector said in a low voice: "Pope Leo also speculated in the same way back then. He prophesied your coming.

"He awakened the ability to prophesy?"

Leonardo asked with interest.

I... maybe not. Bishop Hector hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Pope Leo just said that **** is King Solomon, and Charles is Jesus. Hundreds of years later, there will be an all-powerful talent in this world, and he is Charles." A person must have unparalleled wisdom in this world, a vision that can penetrate people's hearts, good and evil, right and wrong, born with brilliant golden spiritual powers that are far superior to ordinary people, and can accomplish feats that ordinary people can't accomplish in hundreds of years in a few years. And when he awakens, the fire of his heart will turn into pure white. Increased ten times again.

"He will become the strongest psyker on the earth, the sun on the earth, and the brightest light in the world-" I'm almost ashamed of what you said. Leonardo stared at Bishop Hector, thinking blankly.

"You just said...the Pope does not welcome my coming.

Leonardo thought for a while, then slowly said: "What's going on here?"

"Your Majesty, this... Leonardo added: "I am not angry. I just want to know the most comprehensive and objective truth. You come and tell me the truth. Bishop Hector paused for a moment, and nodded in response. Following Bishop Hector's narration, Leonardo gradually understood what happened in the Ecclesiastical State of Solomon. That's nothing new either," and putting aside the prophecy of Leo III, and even the complete neutrality maintained by the Theocracy for hundreds of years. That is, the conservative traditionalists and the radical reformers.

The previous pope was a traditionalist, reading all the works of Solomon and Charles, as well as Leo III's "Teaching Book" and "Second Lesson", always looking for the saint who came to the world again, and Bishop Hector is His pupil, was also a bishop promoted during his tenure. Later, the Pope changed, and the current Pope is the Sardinian Rodrigo Borgia, and his uncle is the Pope of the previous generation. He was originally not a reformer, but an industrialist. His political opinion is to recruit foreign scholars, open factories in the country, and export light industrial products abroad as a second way.

The opinions of this faction are usually suppressed by both traditionalists and reformers. They know in their hearts that the reason why Theocracy can always remain completely neutral among several powerful countries is because their wealth is concentrated in the middle and upper classes, their national power is poor and weak, and they have no geographical advantages and resources. In order to maintain this precarious balance. This is why they are actively seeking the "Second One".

If Leonardo can reunify the Holy Roman Empire into parts. They are so weak that as long as any country decides to invade, they don't even enjoy a week. It is for this reason that they accept any country into their country. in a sense. Rather than saying that Solomon's Church is a country, it is better to say that it is a common territory of many countries. And wait until their goods are exported. Then other countries' donations to the Church may also decrease accordingly. A hypocritical diplomatic friendship maintained also has the risk of breaking down at any time. And the more important question is. They don't have the technology at all to be able to produce high-end products. But if you take the low-end route, it is tantamount to letting the teaching country's already sparse population give up farming and work for other countries.

And if the Theocracy also starts to develop industry and research technology in an attempt to strengthen the country, it will immediately be suppressed or even hostile by neighboring countries. With the loss of talents to the field of scientific research, priests who need to study for a long time to take shape, and even have to work abroad for a long time, will suddenly lose their attractiveness for their post. In this way, the irreplaceability of the Theocracy will be lost. Without the monopoly of this industry by a large number of professional and cheap teaching staff, other countries will soon develop their own teaching staff. By that time, the Theocracy has lost any viability and the businessmen have other ideas. In their view, if this kind of goodwill and neglect disappears, they will immediately perish. Therefore, even if you are suppressed, you must try to be a strong country, at least you must have the confidence to resist aggression, and it will be difficult for others to fight—that is, they hold the opinion that without enough force, peace is tantamount to falsehood Lies; and the challenge they face is that the Theocracy is already in a precarious situation, and any tendency will accelerate its demise. So Rodrigo Borgia quickly began to support the reformists overwhelmingly. The traditionalists were suppressed and gradually sent to remote areas of other countries. By chance, Bishop Hector and his colleagues came to Sicily, preparing to take root here.

The psionic power held by Bishop Hector is relatively common. His ability is to randomly see a certain image that happened in the past in a certain area around him.

suddenly. Relying on his special psychic powers, Bishop Hector discovered a secret—the new pope, Rodrigo Borgia, was actually from the Order of the Rose!

This is undoubtedly an exciting news. If they can find more evidence that the pope is a gap between other psionic organizations breaking into the Theocracy, they will be able to attack him immediately.

So they immediately began to organize, absorbing the local gang, the Blackstone Gang, and renamed it "The Shelter". In the name of resisting the "enterprise", they tried to collect black information about Pope Rodrigo.

They soon had something to gain.

But later, Bishop Hector saw another video—

The Order of the Rose actually summoned the evil **** on this island, and it succeeded! This meal made him nervous to the point of sweating.

If he used this information to engrave the Pope, the Order of the Rosary might realize that he had seen something he shouldn't have seen. And their act of summoning the evil **** may also leak the secret. This will cause them to start processing traces, this history will be completely sealed, and even Hector pedestrians will be silenced by assassins. So after hesitating for a long time, they chose to continue to ambush in the local area to suppress the development of the Order of the Rose... until the "Saint of the Second Coming" who might appear appeared to make decisions for them.

This was already an act of near desperation. Because Hector saw with his own eyes how terrifying the power of the evil **** was. Even his glimpse from the future was noticed by the evil god. If it weren't for the fact that among them there happened to be psykers who were good at healing mental injuries. Hector might have gone mad by then.

"We have already guessed that Leonardo may be your name in this life. But we don't know whether your Majesty can... successfully eradicate the demons. Hector paused, and said in a more euphemistic way. He bowed With a sigh: "But, we have no other way to go. We have no one else we can trust, and no one has the strength to defeat the evil order of the Rosary... only you, Your Majesty.

"I know it's too much. But we can only hope for you.

"Okay. Leonardo was silent for a while. He said: "Then lead the way. Hector almost thought he had heard wrong.

"I heard your prayers, and I have seen your suffering. The injustice and suffering you have suffered should end here. Leonardo said peacefully: "Don't be afraid, because I am here. He said thus: "Lead the way,
