227 The Vaul (1/2)
Dozens of people walked toward the building where the vaults were located. Those people were the pope, the president of Greece, the mayor of Rome, the ambassador of Spain, as well as the unknown ambassador of German. All of them were being escorted by the ambassador of France, Marshal Louis, and his four bodyguards and the Roman police forces.
As they walked into the archives building, the pope leisurely talked with the mysterious German ambassador. This man was not much younger than the pope, but he seemed to be brimming with energy.
”I am so glad I decided to come today... I never thought that I would be able to see the famous vault.”
”You probably know more about this vault than I do... Sir Heinrich.”
The conversation between these two elder figures felt off to those who heard it. They didn't know why, but they had an uncanny feeling about it.
The party finally arrived at the building where the Vatican Archives was located. Access to the vault was in the form of a special elevator to the basement.
All the guards, including the Swiss guards and Roman soldiers, waited outside the building. Apart from the personal bodyguard of the pope, only the four special bodyguards of the French ambassador accompanied them to enter the vault. Marshal Louis was extremely confident in the abilities of his four bodyguards. This was because they were not only members of the French Foreign Legion special forces, but all of them had reached above level 10 of the Earth Realm.
Seth, the pope's bodyguard, used a special lock on the elevator panel and turned a hidden additional floor open.
”A hidden floor... the Vatican sure is confident, to keep the real vault right under the fake one,” exclaimed Marshal Louis.
The pope simply answered, ”There are no treasures that are fake here, Mr. Ambassador. Every item here is a priceless treasure that is part of the world's history.”
”Yes, yes, Cardinal... I'm only interested in seeing the valuable treasures... gold, gems… The shinier the better, of course.”
Hearing this, the mayor of Rome, who took part in this matter, could no longer remain silent and reminded, ”Marshall Louis. Just because we are willing to help you does not mean that you can disrespect the Holy Father...” He then apologized to the pope.
”It's... all right... I'm fine, my child.”
They continued to walk forward until they finally reached the room that was filled with priceless artifacts. Around them, on their right and left were valuable artifacts. Seeing this, all eyes were shocked. Marshal Louis's expression became hysterical.
”Jackpot! This is much more amazing than I imagined!” His smile made it seem as though he had gotten control of the world.
Marshal Louis used the bracelet he got from the pillar to examine the equipment stored in the glass cases.

As far as the eye could see, more than a hundred artifacts were emblazoned in this place. At least one of the two artifacts was a Tier 1 artifact while there were nearly twenty Tier 2 items. Currently, the Doomsday Pillars only granted access to Tier 1 artifact equipment. For the marshal, the artifacts that were gathered in this place were more than enough to face the challenges of the apocalypse,
”HAHAHA... the Vatican Vault! It truly doesn't disappoint,” exclaimed Marshal Louis. The others were just as amazed as he was. They had never seen so many artifact items.
The German ambassador also commented, ”Good. Good... Very good.”
”Sir Henry, you shouldn't tease with this old man too much...”
The pope continued to walk forward indifferently to the following hallway.
This time, the items displayed looked even more magnificent. Not only that, but there were four special artifacts stored here.
This time, looking at the artifacts in this room, the marshal's hand trembled. He used the bracelet in his hand to double-check everything. He was in disbelief. Each artifact had a description of it displayed in front of the glass case. But of course, the Marshal wanted to know the exact information from the bracelet on his hand.
The first artifact he saw was a bow that was almost as tall as an adult human. The inscription on the display case was - Bow of Attila the Hun.
