Chapter 645: The Light Pope

Inside a magnificent mansion in the Light Holy City.

In the empty courtyard, streaks of silver light suddenly appeared out of thin air, weaving together in the Void to form a Magic Array. The moment the Magic Array took shape, intense spatial fluctuations emanated from it, shaking the entire courtyard.

"Whoosh—"

Several warriors clad in sturdy armor suddenly emerged around the courtyard. Powerful Holy Light emanated from around their bodies; from their standard-issue armor and weapons, it was clear these men were Holy Knights responsible for guarding the Holy See.

"Clack, clack—"

The sound of metal rubbing against metal slowly approached as a figure entirely encased in white-gold armor walked over. This figure looked extremely tall, standing a full two meters tall including the armor. The Holy Light emanating from his body was also significantly stronger than that of the surrounding Holy Knights.

"Lord Knight Commander."

Seeing this person arrive, the Holy Knights present bowed their heads slightly to pay their respects.

The Knight Commander looked at the Magic Array, which was continuously emitting spatial energy, and could not help but frown. He looked at the people beside him and asked, "Do you know what happened here?"

The Holy Knights present exchanged glances and shook their heads one after another; they had only appeared here after sensing abnormal spatial fluctuations.

"Form up, stay alert!" Watching the figure gradually appearing in the Magic Array, the Knight Commander narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

The Holy Knights present simultaneously raised their Long swords, looking at the Space Magic Array with vigilance.

"I say Feike, is this how you welcome your old friend?" A person entirely shrouded in Holy Light slowly stepped out of the Magic Array.

"Holy Light Bishop, it's actually you?" Seeing the newcomer, a trace of astonishment appeared on the Knight Commander's face. "It is the Holy Light Bishop, not an enemy. You may withdraw for now."

Hearing the Knight Commander's order, the Holy Knights present retracted their Long swords and quickly evacuated the small courtyard.

After the many Holy Knights had left, several figures appeared behind Shalier; they were exactly the few Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths and Lingyun and his two companions.

The Holy Light on Shalier's body dissipated, and he bowed slightly to the few people behind him: "Everyone, welcome to the Light Holy City."

Sensing the dense Light Element filling the air, Lingyun nodded slightly. This Light God was quite interesting when he left; he had actually used the entire Light Holy City as a foundation to set up a large Light Array, making the Light Element in the entire Light Holy City several times stronger than in other places.

The Knight Commander peered at Shalier, who had revealed his true appearance, and then pushed up his visor: "How did you manage to cause such a big commotion, kid?"

"The Pope gave me a task before, and now that I have found the person I was looking for, I have returned to report to the Pope," Shalier said. "These few are famous Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths, and this one is Mr. Lingyun. These two ladies are Mr. Lingyun's companions."

"A task? Could it be about those Sacred Gears? Shalier, have you really found a way to solve it?" Hearing Shalier say this, Feike could not help but widen his eyes. "Hmm, is this Master Mohan? Could it be that Master Mohan solved the problem this time?"

"No, no, no, the person who solved the problem this time is not me. The reason I came over this time is to observe," Mohan said with a smile, shaking his head.

"It wasn't solved by you, Master Mohan?" Question marks appeared over Feike's head. "Then which Master solved it?"

"The person who solved this matter is this young brother here!" Mohan pointed at Lingyun and said.

"Him?" Feike looked at Lingyun and could not help but be somewhat stunned. After all, Lingyun looked far too young, and it was truly hard to believe that such a matter could have been solved by him.

"Although I also find it somewhat hard to believe, it is the truth." Shalier took the Holy Knight Sword from his back and handed it to Feike.

Feike took the Holy Knight Sword, his gaze sharpening, and vast Light Battle Qi instantly surged into the blade. With a hum, a sharp gleam extended from the Holy Knight Sword, instantly causing Laceration to the air around the blade.

Sensing the majestic aura emanating from the Holy Knight Sword, Feike narrowed his eyes slightly and only put the Holy Knight Sword away after a good while.

"That's right, the Holy Knight Sword has been repaired. If this handiwork truly came from Mr. Lingyun, then it is indeed incredible."

"This time, besides the Sacred Gear being repaired, I also obtained a very important piece of information. I must report this information to the Pope immediately. Feike, please greet the guests on my behalf for now." Shalier took the Holy Knight Sword back from Feike's hand and said to him with a serious expression.

"What kind of matter could make you this anxious? The Pope is currently in seclusion, seeking a higher realm. If there is nothing special, it is impossible to make the Pope come out of seclusion," Feike asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The Pope is in seclusion? This matter may concern the future of the Holy See. Even if it disturbs the Pope's seclusion, it must be reported to him," Shalier said to Feike with a solemn expression.

Afterward, Shalier directly took out a Token; dazzling patterns were carved onto the Token. The moment this Token was brought out, the Light Element around Shalier's body suddenly became even more active.

"This, Shalier, are you serious?" Watching Shalier activate the patterns on the Token, Feike's expression changed slightly.

"You can ask Master Mohan about this matter. As for the guests here, I will have to trouble you to receive them for me." Streaks of golden light appeared around Shalier, and then he disappeared along with the golden light.

"This, Master Mohan, may I ask you to explain to me why Shalier would be in such a rush to see the Pope after returning this time?" Watching the vanished Shalier, Feike turned his gaze toward Mohan and asked.

"I originally thought that only our Dwarf Race had encountered such a situation; I didn't expect that your Light Church had also encountered this kind of situation!" A Recording Stone appeared in Mohan's hand, and he handed it to Feike. "You will know what the specific situation is once you take a look."

The Holy Church, in front of a secret chamber.

Golden light gathered in front of the Holy Church, and Shalier stepped out from the golden light, then knelt on one knee: "Bishop Shalier requests an audience with His Holiness the Pope."

After a while, a leisurely voice sounded: "Shalier, my dear child, you are in such a hurry to find me; has something happened?"

"The specific situation is all in this Recording Stone." Shalier raised his hand, and a Recording Stone appeared in his hand.

With a flash of light, the Recording Stone in Shalier's hand instantly disappeared.

Before long, Shalier felt an incomparably vast amount of Light Element gathering before him. In front of him appeared a white-haired, elderly man; this person was none other than the Pope of the Light Church.

"Shalier, is the image in the Recording Stone true?" The Pope looked at Shalier and asked with a serious expression.

"This Recording Stone was handed to me personally by Master Mohan. Given Master Mohan's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to fake such a thing. Moreover, I have already invited Master Mohan and the others, as well as Mr. Lingyun and his companions, to the Light Holy City," Shalier said.

"Where are they now? I want to see them immediately." A trace of urgency appeared on the Pope's face.

"They are currently at my residence," Shalier said.

"Quick, let's go over there." Golden light emanated from the Pope's body, instantly enveloping him and Shalier, and then they disappeared from in front of the secret chamber door.
