Chapter 2525 2201. Meet the Pope
Finally arrived in Fangang City.
There are towering pointed churches everywhere, with complex patterns, mysterious, exquisite, and solemn and grand.
This is quite similar to the feeling given by the Holy See.
The headquarter church is located on the top of the mountain.
The jade steps soared up to the top of the mountain.
Zhao Dongting had to admit that these Westerners were indeed very insightful and capable in architecture.
In the lush and dense, there are bright walls towering and dark walls looming.
Obviously, this Holy See is not just solemn and luxurious. It is a Western religious belief, but also a super fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Zhao Dongting glanced over and saw only these visible city walls, which could block more than ten times the army.
If the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were guarded here, if there was sufficient ammunition, it might really be a military barrier.
The Holy See is not simple! �
These high or low churches seem to be located on a jade mine, full of holiness.
The Pope did not appear, but the Cardinal, who already has the status and status in the Holy See, is waiting here.
Even the Saint already knew Zhao Dongting's identity, and the Pope had no reason not to know.
The saint still had a lot of opinions about Zhao Dongting. After saying a few words to the Cardinal, he hurriedly left, not even caring about his father.
She seemed unwilling to look at Zhao Dongting again.
However, this obviously will not have any impact on Zhao Dongting.
He took everyone out of the carriage and stood there, staring directly at the Cardinal.
Wang Wu's heart is already numb.
As more and more Western big names have been seen in these days, he no longer has the nerve of small people.
Only He'er is introverted and still looks a little timid, hiding beside Wang Wu.
The cardinal came up with people and bowed to Zhao Dongting, "I've met Emperor Song."
Zhao Dongting chuckled softly, "You are polite, Lord Bishop."
Wang Wu was stunned by the side.
Emperor Song! He thought that Zhao Dongting must be a big shot in the Song Dynasty, but he never thought that the person in front of him was the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! He had not been in the Song Dynasty for long.
Moreover, information in this era was difficult to circulate, resulting in only a very small number of ordinary people who could know Zhao Dongting.
Although, there are actually many people who worship him.
He trembled and couldn't help but kneel down, "Emperor, long live the emperor..." �
When He'er saw Wang Wu kneeling down, she also knelt down.
Zhao Dongting helped them up with his inner breath and said, "In this West, there is no need to be too polite."
Seeing the two of them standing up, the Cardinal said to Zhao Dongting: "His Majesty the Pope is affectionate."
Then he looked at the large group of people behind Zhao Dongting, and his face seemed a little embarrassed.
Zhao Dongting could see what he meant and said, "Then please take me there!"
The Cardinal naturally led Zhao Dongting into it, and there were servants behind him who walked towards Kong Qiangu and others.
"emperor."
Lin Chong shouted at Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting waved his hand and smiled and said, "It's okay."
But he still gave a look at Kong Qiangu and signaled them to be careful.
No one knows if this Holy See headquarters will have any special means.
This time, it was actually a banquet at Hongmen.
It's not OK to be careful.
After all, the extreme realm is not immortal.
As strong as Kong Yuanzhou, the strongest man in the world, did he die in the end by accident?
Follow the Cardinal into the front church, which was not magnificent, but looked very grand.
There are many reliefs on the roof.
In the center of the hall is a giant sculpture that is more than ten meters high.
The person in the sculpture is wearing a white robe and holding a staff, and is compassionate but not angry and arrogant.
Zhao Dongting could think of who this person was without asking, and was undoubtedly the founder of the Holy See and the first pope.
There are more than ten small sculptures in the corners around them, which should be the right-hand men of the first pope.
This is the founding team of the Holy See.
They are undoubtedly very capable.
In the West, the Holy See is an uncrowned king and has a higher status than the imperial power.
They are the real controllers of the West.
However, this disadvantage is that the dispute between imperial power and religion is difficult to resolve and it is difficult to have long-term peace.
This is like when the princes of the Central Plains were divided into feudal matters, there were always difficult conflicts between the imperial power and the princes.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Unless the Holy See can completely abolish the imperial power, or replace it with secular rule, this is almost impossible.
At least from the previous life, the imperial power was the king in the end.
The Holy See, who leads religion, is more like a symbol of faith.
After passing through the front hall, there is the square again.
There are fountains, reliefs, and green plants.
The placement is very particular.
However, Zhao Dongting has seen the market, so he is not amazed by this.
Although the Western construction skills were superb, the Song Dynasty was not inferior to them.
Following the Cardinal through several churches in succession, we arrived at the most central church.
The Cardinal said that this is the Pope's daily residence.
Zhao Dongting saw a man wearing a white robe with all white hair, as if he was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall.
Chapter completed!
