Chapter 350 (2/2)
“This is as far as they can take me, you have to take over and push the cart” O’Brien said
“Yes, Your Excellency” Mayne took the handle, pushi+ng the Pope into the prayer rooain, leaving the light of the torches behind Now, the only illuht emitted by the illumination stones, similar to the ones embedded at the sides of the corridor, but the difference lay in the huge portraits hanging over the stones He vaguely remembered this location, in that place should be theopenings of the above ground praying room
The portraits were mostly sieous robes, full of energy, and with bright eyes, like those of a God gazing at each visitor that entered the praying roo at his own portrait, with a s oosebumps to his back
“Ah, you saw e of the Archbishop’s o, when I was not as old as now, at least I wanted to look good But it should have not been hung until after I died” He looked at it carefully, “I was too impatient at this point, I wanted to see what I looked like hanging up like this”
“Your Excellency, these are…” Mayne felt his throat beco dry
“Yes, they are the great pioneers, successively holding the title of Pope of the Holy Church” He said in a soft voice “Go ahead, I will introduce you to the eleven of them”
The Archbishop listened to the brief description of His Excellency O’Brien, at the sa at the portraits He knew these were the supreme leaders of the Church, but an inexplicable weird sensation res were so lifelike, he could not iine what kind of technique the painter used to create such portraits In addition, the yellow light was not so bright and only reached half way, the upper half of these portraits were gradually fading into darkness, leaving only the faces grinning at him
After passing half way through the hall, Mayne was surprised, noticing the characters in the portraits had become women
They were all different in appearance, their attire was also not the sa little resemblance to the faces of common people The Archbishop was not familiar with this, but this was the reason he felt extremely confused and surprised But still, His Excellency O’Brien seemed to have no response and still, calmly introduced their names, their period in the post, and their merits
These people were also the Popes of the Church
The prayer room soon came to an end
Right in the middle of the hall, a full body portrait occupied the entire wall surrounded by four illu the picture clearer
Mayne sed a saliva, as he looked towards the person in the painting
The moment his eyes finally fell on the picture, he suddenly felt his chest fiercely ju This was just a peerless woman; except for this word, it was difficult for him to find any other word or expressions to describe her She had both the woman’s sweetness and theas natural without any conflict Her red hair was like a burning flaht sword She leaned on the sith her eyebrows slightly raised, both of her eyes looking straight ahead, the thin lips tightly closed, not showing the fury of power Under the gaze of those eyes, Mayne felt a pressure capable ofdown in front of the woman
“Your Excellency, this is…”
As he turned his head with difficulty, he found that O’Brien had knelt down
“She is the First Pope, the Transcendent, Akaris She also had the nickname The Witch Queen”
Mayne was startled, his previous guess was absolutely correct, the earlier Popes of the Church itches!
“Why would the founder of the Church be a witch?”
“Kneel down to her child, later, I will show you what you want to know”
