Artifact

Immediately, he saw what Bishop Solomon was carrying under his armpit.

It's a corpse.

Bishop Baldwin the "Celestial Spirit".

"Solomon, didn't I tell you to give up Baldwin's body?".

"Archbishop Vegano, Baldwin is our comrade-in-arms, a loyal partner along the way, I can't just leave his body behind!".

Viganor couldn't help but be a little angry: "If you let Night Thirteen escape, you and I will suffer far more blame than discarding Baldwin's body!".

"That being said, I can't allow Baldwin's divine body to be defiled by human hands. Rest assured, I will take Baldwin with me until he witnesses us destroy the demon Night Thirteen!".

It was only then that Viganor realized that the black wooden pillar that had been following Solomon was missing.

It is not an ordinary piece of wood, but a part of the "Tree of Life" that has been treated with a special process and blessed with divine power.

The LignumVitae, also known as Guaiacumofficinale, is an extremely rare and hard wood - there is a tested theory that if you find a tree of life and cut it down, you must ensure that each axe has a strength of more than 2,000 kilograms!

In other words, an attack of more than two tons of "force" will leave traces on the tree of life, and it is conceivable that after being artificially processed and blessed with divine power, the terrifying blunt weapon made of this side of the log has become indestructible in attack and defense.

However, in order to protect Baldwin's body, Solomon actually threw away the Tree of Life!

However, Viganor soon understood that Solomon was talking about good words, but in fact he was better at calculating than anyone else.

Because Baldwin's corpse is worth far more than the Tree of Life!

Or that if Baldwin's corpse were to be used as a weapon, it would bring more combat power than any reward Solomon could have received in his lifetime.

Let's not forget that Baldwin once received divine blessings at the Vatican, and he is one of the candidates for the current Pope's succession.

You must know that the current Pope has in his hands a weapon of destruction that affects the pattern of global combat power, and it is said that this weapon of destruction leads directly to God and is one of the sacred relics that have been passed down through the ages.

The so-called "ark of holiness" (??????????????? ）。

Legend has it that the Ark was built by humans to hold the Ten Commandments, but once it was completed, no one could touch it, and anyone who dared to touch it would die instantly.

It is said that there is a forbidden rumor in the Vatican that the Holy Ark in the hands of the Pope not only leads directly to God, but even that God can give instructions to the Pope and his followers at some point.

In other words, the ark may be a long-distance communication device, or a special space that enhances the power of life that enters it.

But the problem is that all this is gossip, because the Bible does not record the final whereabouts of the holy ark, and many people believe that it was destroyed by the Babylonians in the war.

It's just that the Vatican believers don't see it that way.

The reason for this is that the Western Magic Association, which is dominated by the church faction, has always been at odds with the Northern Magical Church.

You must know that those Maozi magicians who believe in the teachings of the Zhengdong Sect have mastered powerful magical powers, whether it is the Apocalypse Knights of the Oleg family or the monsters of the Romanov family, none of them are good stubbles, not to mention the six archpatriarchs hidden behind the scenes, each of whom is said to have infinitely powerful stigmata.

On the other hand, the Western Magic Association wants to compete with it, and it is not enough to rely on the Church and the Force, as the main combat force, the only thing that the Church relies on is the treasure in the hands of the Pope.

But what this treasure is, no one knows.

The groundless point is that there are many prophets who say that the Pope has "sacred items" in his hands, so he can compete with the Northern Magic Curia, and as for why "sacred items" refer to the holy ark, no one can say clearly.

But that's the way it is – the only one who can approach the relics is the Pope, and the only one who can get close to the Pope is Amalric Baldwin.

Therefore, there is enough reason to believe that Baldwin, in addition to receiving divine blessings, also had some kind of "mystical connection" with the holy ark, so that he was able to obtain immortality before the Pope's death. (The reason seems very strange, why before the Pope's death? No one knows this, and I don't know where such rumors came from.)

Of course, this superstition has been shattered today, and the immortal Baldwin has lost his heartbeat and breathing, but the powerful divine blessings that have wrapped around him have not disappeared because of this.

What's even more strange is that Baldwin's wound stopped bleeding after he lost his breath, and his body still maintained his body temperature.

Perhaps it was Bishop Solomon's awareness of all this that made him determined to carry Baldwin's body all the time under the pretext that no one could stop him.

He's going to use Baldwin as a weapon, a weapon capable of slaying the most powerful demons!

This most powerful demon is perhaps the first existence recorded in the text of human history with videos, images, texts, and proof of the parties, Night Thirteen.

Archbishop Carlo Mara Vigano, who had thought all of this through, did not expose the other party, but instead looked Bishop Solomon up and down, and to be honest, he had always had a prejudice against Solomon's complexion.

Archbishop Vegano's deep-seated belief that only the white race was God's favored people, so he kept a grudge against Solomon, even though he didn't say it.

Curiously, Bishop Solomon seems to be aware of this, and he has always been humble and courteous to Archbishop Vigano, obeying his orders, and never offended, let alone disobeyed Vigano's orders.

Today, for the first time in more than a decade, an exception has been made.

It

was precisely this scene that changed Vigano's mind, and he suddenly thought of a more profound point - Bishop Solomon, who received a new weapon, Baldwin the Celestial, may be able to become one of his most powerful helpers in the future.

Strength is based on reciprocity, and for the first time, Viganor looks at Solomon with equal eyes.

He opened his mouth and said to Solomon, "From this day onwards you will no longer be the pious, for for your faithfulness and righteousness I will call you Solomon, the Soul Helper!"

Bishop Levi Solomon, who was originally called the "pious", was also one of the most pious people recognized by many bishops, and now Vigano's recognition is a great praise for Solomon, which not only means that Viganor acknowledges Solomon's actions as just, but also lays the foundation for his future promotion.

The big black man Solomon bowed deeply to Vigano: "From this day forward, Solomon is the one who supports the soul!".

Viganor nodded, glancing at the sunset that was about to regain its full light

"It's already outside, which means we're not on our backs. We're going to start chasing the humanoid demon Night Thirteen, are you ready?".

Solomon set up Baldwin the Celestial Spirit and slapped the corpse on the back, and the corpse immediately tensed and his expression distorted

"Solomon, the Soul Helper, will become the wrath and blade of the Father and destroy all evil in this world!"
