Because they have such capital, Lateran has been extremely xenophobic since the founding of the country. They will not actively expand, but they will not allow others to invade. In fact, no one will show off their brains to attack this religious fanatic country.
Lateran discovered the existence of guns during archaeology, and thus mastered the circulation of firearms in the entire Terra. Except for the permission of Lateran, he can only buy hand guns of the size of Jessica through formal channels. , and the price is not cheap, but Lateran himself equipped the Templars with a blunderbuss. When everyone basically used cold weapons to slash and throw spells at each other, Lateran already had Gatling that could be used. up.
But as mentioned earlier, while Lateran is extremely xenophobic, it will not expand externally. They always abide by their own precepts. If they do something that violates the precepts, they will become fallen angels and be expelled from Lateran .
Lateran is a religious country, where the pope is in charge of the country. God exists in their teachings, and they believe in him devoutly. This has been the case for thousands of years.
No one knows whether God really exists, and Sakota occasionally has such doubts, but since they saw the figure of the white crown and white wings, Lateran boiled, because God really exists!
But now, at the end of the world with only 30 days left, God has come to Lateran.
In front of the holy hall, the most elite Sakotas in the Lateran had already been waiting here, and other places outside the hall were also full of angels, and the illuminated halo almost formed a curtain. Mostima had already passed on After the news came back, everyone knew that Ashes was coming to Rutland.
They looked devout and fanatical, and their formation was like the most perfect formula written by a mathematician. They were waiting, waiting for the arrival of God.
In the most conspicuous position among the Sakotas, an old man with white beard and hair was standing there. He was wearing a white and luxurious church attire, holding a scepter symbolizing the Supreme Lateran regime in his hand. Gently lighting the scepter, he closed his eyes and waited for something.
He is the pope, the highest ruler in the Lateran, but even though he is old, he dare not sit on a chair, it is disrespectful to God.
Suddenly, the wind that was blowing the clothes of the Sakotas and the Pope's beard stopped for a moment. The Pope clenched his hands tightly, and suddenly opened his eyes to look at the open space that was specially set aside in front of him.
"Here we come!" He raised his scepter and slammed it down——
The gentle fire mist suddenly lit up out of thin air, gradually stretched and expanded, and the figure gradually solidified in it, and then slowly walked out of the fire mist.
The first one came out was the red-haired Sakota, the problem child who once bombed the school, the angel, the second one came out was the sinner in Sakota, the fallen angel Mostima, and the third one came out was A woman in a black robe with sandy golden hair and amazing beauty, and the last one to appear——
The halos of all the Sakotas automatically lit up, the radiance skyrocketed, the halo above their heads deformed and unfolded, the wings of light behind them stretched and became fiercer, and the fanaticism in their eyes became stronger.
Ashes with a white crown floating above their heads came out of the fire mist. At the same time, the Sakotas who were waiting here knelt and prayed in unison.
Seeing this formation, Ashes was slightly taken aback. Although Mostima had already warned him of what might happen when he came, but seeing so many people kneeling down in front of him so fanatically and piously praying, it was still a little bit overwhelming. shocked.
I don't know which Sakota started praying first, then the second, and the third... A soft prayer is nothing, but when so many devout believers pray together, it is a start. A solemn and holy prayer.
Under the guidance of Mostima, Ashes walked forward slowly, and every time they passed in front of a Sakota, they would lower down more and more, become more and more fanatical, and more and more enthusiastic.
After he walked through this somewhat alternative sacred path, he came before the Pope.
And the Pope just finished his prayer, but he was unwilling to get up, and the scepter, which symbolized the highest Lateran regime, was thrown aside by him early.
"Ah...my king...you are finally here, our faith, our piety, our doctrine, our god..."
"It is a great honor to have a glimpse of your majesty... The expectations of the popes of all ages have finally come true."
Tears flowed down his weather-beaten face, and his body was trembling uncontrollably because of excitement. He was so happy, so excited, that the divine king in the Lateran teachings actually appeared before his eyes.
"Get up, you don't need to be polite."
"Your will."
The Pope said respectfully, stood up with the support of others, and said:
"My king, Lateran has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me. The secret that I have been waiting for for thousands of years is only for you."
The Pope turned around and began to lead the way. Under the crazy gaze behind him, Ashes and Fireproof followed, while Archangel and Mostima stayed where they were.
The secret that has been guarded by the angels of Lateran for generations has now come to be revealed.

Chapter 711 The Principle of World Operation
Follow behind the pope and walk all the way to the depths of the hall. The further you go in, the greater the change in the surrounding decoration style.
From the exquisite decorative patterns and reliefs that seemed to record certain deeds at the beginning to the lines with a sense of technology, by the time the Pope stopped, Ashes and Fire Lady had already stood in front of an extremely heavy gate .
The gate was about ten meters high, almost occupying the entire passage, with a gloomy and cold light on the surface, Ashes knocked curiously, and there was a rather dull echo from inside.
Hardness is good and thick.
The Pope stood by the door, stretched out his hand, and pasted a device. As a few green lights lit up, a heavy mechanical sound came from inside the door.
This is obviously driven by some kind of large-scale machinery. The heavy door opens slowly. This door will only be opened once when the Pope's power is handed over, and it will be closed forever at other times. Except for the Pope, no one knows what is inside. And today it will be opened for the Ashes, to reveal what is hidden within.
"My king, please come in, the secrets about our protection for thousands of years, and the secrets of the past of this land are all in it."
The Pope bowed to Ashes, then turned sideways, signaling Ashes to go first.
Nodding his head, Ashes and the Fireproof Woman walked into the gate side by side, while the Pope was a few steps behind them.
With the sudden enlightenment in front of my eyes, what caught my eyes was a somewhat dreamy scene——
A huge integrated computer stood in front of the three of them, with a flashing data stream on the screen, surrounded by light curtains and consoles, it was running autonomously even though no one was manipulating it.
This is by no means the level of technology that Terra should have.
"This is...."
In a fanatical theocratic country, there is such a level of technology, which makes people feel a little absurd, even Ashes is no exception.
"This is Sakota's deepest secret, the last supercomputer left by the ancient ancestors."
The pope looked up at the hill-like computer. Even though he had seen it once, the shock was still the same. This was the last cultural fragment left by the gods and people who disappeared in the long river of history.
"My king, please take a step forward. In this computer, there are many files that only you have permission to view. Even I will be turned away."
When Ashes heard what the Pope said, he also became interested. He stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of this supercomputer, which was a bit too big. Just as he was thinking about how to operate it, a panel popped up automatically.
I don't know what it relied on to determine it, but it seemed to know Ashes' identity, and began to automatically broadcast the files stored inside.
These include the origin of the Sakota family, the production of origin stones, the infection of the ore disease, and the operation of this piece of Terra.
Before the civilization of Terra today, after the end of the Age of Fire, there was a civilization established by people who are now called the gods.
They have an extremely powerful level of technology, almost conquered the land, and even marched towards the sky and the sea, but by chance, they discovered a small piece of dark things.
At that time, no one knew what it was. They only knew that it was not any known substance. The gods became very interested in it, and began to study it, decompose it, and try to figure out what it was made of.
But unfortunately, it was a small abyss.
The Age of Fire passed away, and the Age of Darkness kicked off. The abyss that was once gathered by ashes still left some fragments scattered on the earth, and the gods got it by chance.
After research, the gods successfully transformed the fragments of the abyss into a black-yellow crystal with powerful energy, which is clean and efficient. This is the original sample of the origin stone on Terra.
While everyone was cheering and celebrating the discovery of a new energy source, no one knew that disaster was about to happen.
A researcher was accidentally stabbed by a small fragment while studying the fragments of the abyss. At that time, he did not show any abnormalities. The abyss had been dormant for a long time and had lost most of its activity. source of disaster.
After the abyss absorbed the darkness in people's hearts and woke up, the gods and people were already powerless, the abyss began to riot, and the plague began to spread.
And the origin stone also began to grow wildly with the riots in the abyss, gradually devouring the civilization of the gods and people.
When civilization is about to be destroyed, the last gods rely on artificial human technology to create the first batch of supervisors. They will be frozen and wake up after an unknown number of years to prepare for the next generation. Civilization paves the way and watches over the abyss.
The gods set strict commandments for them, and equipped them with halos and light wings with reference to the angel belief statues found in the ruins. This is the first batch of Sakota.
As monitors and bystanders, they stick to themselves and watch over civilization.
It’s just that in the long ice, the functions of the Sakotas have been lost, and the memory about the abyss no longer exists, but they still remember the duty of the watchman, so they established the Lateran to prevent enough events on Terra. The scourge of a turbulent civilization.
After the destruction of the civilization of the gods and people, the abyss lost the darkness in people's hearts, and fell asleep again, but the abyss that had been turned into a source stone was transformed into an independent substance because of its changed nature.
With the emergence of the Terra civilization, the origin stone was naturally accompanied by it, and turned into an important economic and energy lifeline, bringing energy and spells to people, but also brought ore disease with a [-]% infection rate.
Why are the Sarkazs naturally susceptible to infection?Just because the ancestors of Sarkaz had acquired some darkness left by the ashes, the entire race has a more powerful dark soul, so it will naturally be more friendly to the origin stones that are connected to the abyss, and at the same time be free from ore disease torture, and even enhance bodily functions in turn.
All of these seem to follow some inevitable law, and there is some kind of connection.
The last era ends, and the remaining things are used by the next era, and then die because of a certain relationship, and then the next era rises.
Although civilization cannot last forever, although the world will undergo changes, those things that used to be will be more or less preserved.
Terra has Sakota and Origin Stone left by the gods and people, and the gods have the abyss and relics left over from the age of fire. Nothing is eternal and nothing is immortal. This is the principle of the world's operation.
And today's Terra, just standing on the cusp of changing times, what will be its fate?
Will it die under the irreversible power like the period of the gods and people, and then breed a new civilization on the ruins?
Or will it open up a brand new path that no one has traveled like the Age of Fire?
After the 30-day countdown, all the answers will be revealed.
The demonstration of the supercomputer is over. It retracts the panel, and still runs the slave program that no one can understand, and processes the data that I don't know what it is.
The once glorious civilization of the gods and people, now there is only one cold machine silently telling the glory of the past, which is inevitably embarrassing.
"Is that so..."
Ashes stood in front of the computer, rubbing his chin lightly, looking thoughtful.
Just as the pope was about to speak, he was stopped by the fireproof woman.
Shaking her head slightly, the fire-proof girl looked at Ashes, and his body was reflected in her golden pupils.
[After knowing this essence, what choice will you make....]

Chapter 712 Between friends, it doesn't matter who owes whom
Ashes didn't stay in Lateran for too long. The excess enthusiasm and piety of the angels made him a little uncomfortable. After talking with the Pope secretly and obtaining the promise of lateran's national assistance, he left with the Fireproof Girl. Lateran, Angel and Mostima stayed behind.
And his next stop is the place where he first woke up, and also the city that was reborn by the flames after suffering the double ravages of darkness and abyss—Longmen.
With the help of the bonfire that was placed at the Longmen earlier, Ashes and Fireproof Woman teleported over, aiming directly at the City Lord's Mansion.
After meeting Wenyue and Wei Yanwu, Ashes clarified her reason for coming without any delay, and hoped that Longmen could help.
Wei Yanwu, who had witnessed the mighty power of the age of fire, did not hesitate to agree to Ashes' request after knowing the seriousness of the matter, saying that Longmen would completely stand in the united front with Ashes.
Earlier, Ashes had opened up the scene of the fierce battle between the Lord of Darkness and Cass' upgraded black dragon Midil. Even now, he still dreams about it from time to time, and breaks out in a cold sweat.
At that time, Ashes had not yet used his full strength, and he easily razed the entire Dragon Gate to the ground, and the rest of them were not even qualified to participate in the battle. Even Chi Xiao, who had a great sword spirit, would be crushed instantly if he dared to approach those two people.
It was undoubtedly a nightmare, but fortunately, Longmen not only withstood the weight of the abyss that day, but also experienced the miraculous fire.
The miracle of resurrection from the dead unfolded in front of Wei Yanwu's eyes, and the still prosperous Longmen is the best proof of the power of Ashes.
Now that an enemy that even Ashes can't fight is standing on the opposite side of the entire Terra, Wei Yanwu naturally won't use that set of politician thinking anymore.
