Save Tomorrow's Ark with Game System

Rutland Palace.

The call from the large library quickly hung up, and Pope Secretary Hillary Lily walked quickly in the magnificent corridor, and in a few breaths, he walked to the door of the Pope's office.

She raised her hand and gently knocked on the most special door in Rutland in front of her.

"Come in."

A somewhat boring female voice came into the secretary's ears.

"Sir Pope, Saint Gabriel will come to visit in half an hour."

After obtaining permission, Hillary Lili turned the door handle and pushed open the door of the Pope's office, reporting to the woman sitting behind the table.

"Oh, it should be twenty-nine minutes and thirty-four seconds now."

The secretary noticed the Pope's gaze and glanced at the time on the watch that reported a more accurate number.

"I see."

The Pope nodded and put down the documents in her hand. Hillary Lily nodded slightly, closed the door and returned to where she worked.

Click.

The lock tongue collided with the door frame, and a thick stack of documents was thrown into the cabinet by the Pope. She lowered her head slightly, reached out and pressed her hands to rub it slowly, closing her eyes to relax.

The sun shines in from outside the window, placing a thin layer of gauze on the Pope's long rose gold hair, but it also makes the split ends more conspicuous. The woman opens her eyes and looks at her hair that is no longer soft

, sigh softly.

Since being elected as the 54th Pope in Rutland a year ago, Richelieu has bid farewell to his once leisurely bishop life and embarked on a arduous journey.

Her work is very heavy. After all, she manages a country, and the cardinals below are not a good-looking lamp. But even so, this strong woman did not show any fatigue in her daily work and life, and she has always dealt with everything with a full spirit.

.

Until today, the familiar name came into Richelieu's ears, awakening the beautiful memories in her heart, and allowing her to show her weak side at work for the first time.

It seemed that at this time she was still a young student, living in the library of the large library, and learning and growing under the guidance of Gabriel.

That time was beautiful, but it was also very short. Four years passed in the blink of an eye. Richelieu moved out of the Grand Library and embarked on a career and became a bishop. It took eight years to sit in the position of the Pope.

superior.

She also hadn't communicated with Gabriel like a teacher or student for eight years.

As an elder of all Rutlanders, almost everyone knows Gabriel's personality. He is speechless, heartless, expressionless, and is not interested in anything. He stays in a bunch of books all day and occasionally goes out to the shooting range to practice gun skills.

In the face of the enthusiastic greetings, he just nodded slightly to respond.

Apart from the students who lived with her, she never took the initiative to say anything to others, and only others were looking for her share.

Just like the two bosses of the guns and machinery companies who went to the big library today.

So, after hearing Hillary Lily's report, Richey was surprised and felt more missed, missing the time he lived in the big library, and missing the life he lived with his tutor.

But this nostalgia didn't last long.

The intuition that has been honed in the Holy See told Richelieu that Gabriel must have important things to say today, and that he should be mentally prepared more than reminiscing about the past.

The home-girl saint walked out of the room to visit her, the pope, to prove the seriousness of this matter.

She quickly sorted out her mentality, took out a can of tea from the cabinet beside her, and waited for the arrival of the saint.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Dongdong.

The knock on the door was a little more soothing than when Hillary Lily came half an hour ago. Richelieu quickly sorted out the instrument and said:

"Please come in."

There is no doubt that the person knocking on the door this time was Gabriel. When he saw the golden color walking into the room, Richelieu hurriedly got up to greet him, and glanced at the wall clock on the wall.

It's just half an hour, not a minute or a second.

"Master Pope."

Looking at Richelieu whom he was welcomed, Gabriel did not show off as a saint, but lowered his head slightly to greet him.

This is the etiquette that should be taken in the face of the supreme ruler of Rutland. Although the sainthood allowed Gabriel to walk sideways in Rutland and the law could not bind her, good education would not allow her to do so.

For thousands of years, no saint has taken the privileges given by this name seriously and lived politely and appropriately in the rules.

"Sage Gabriel."

Richelieu's gift.

This is Gabriel's official title in Rutland and a respectful title for everyone in formal occasions.

But this serious range did not last long. After the ceremony, Richelieu's mouth raised a little curve, and his name for Gabriel also changed.

"Long time no see, senior."

Logically speaking, as Gabriel's students, Richelieu and Alison should both call this "girl" the mentor. But Gabriel didn't like this title, so her students changed their words to call it "sen"

A saint.

"It's been more than two years..."

Gabriel's face was still cold, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, which was fleeting. She sat on the sofa on one side of the room, with her two short legs hanging in the air, revealing her white ankles.

The saint's physique is different from that of ordinary people. Although Gabriel looked like a 14-year-old girl at this time, and her voice was as soft as a little girl, but is her actual age...

you guess?

"You're very tired, Xiao Li."

In addition to Alison, who is still studying, Gabriel has brought six students so far. Two of them have passed away, four of them are in the Holy See to serve Rutland, among which Richelieu is the best, and three are

He was elected as Pope at the age of nineteen and became the youngest ruler in Rutland's history.

Although Richelieu's appearance was like a young man in his twenties at this time, her children were all in high school...

It can only be said that the appearance gene of Terra is too terrifying, which not only ensures that everyone is good-looking, but also delays aging and resists the years of carving.

"Sorry senior."

Richele left a cup of hot tea to Gabriel and sat opposite her. The white mist on the tea cup was swaying, as if Richele was tired at this moment, and could not be dispelled.

"Two years ago, I became a pope candidate and got busy with work. Sometimes I couldn't rest during holidays and couldn't visit you."

In the two years since he first started his career, Richelieu was not too busy. He would visit Gabriel several times every year and occasionally get some work guidance.

Later, as the position rose, Richelieu's responsibility became heavier, his rest time became shorter and less, and he went to the large library less and less.

At that time, Gabriel stopped talking to her about work issues. The once ignorant girl had become a sophisticated politician, and she had enough strength to deal with open and secret struggles in the Holy See.

Finally, with the finalization of the identity of the Pope candidate, Richelieu's holiday became a summer bubble, which can be seen but cannot be touched.

Until today, I occasionally communicated with Gabriel about work, and she had never been to the library library in private once.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li."

Gabriel nodded, jumped off the sofa and gently stroked his student's head. The girl's movements were very gentle, and Richelieu felt a warm current surge in his body, very warm and comfortable.

As she moved, Richelieu clearly felt that all the hidden diseases accumulated by her fatigue disappeared, and her hair became much smoother and smoother.

It seems that the health lost over the years has been back in the body.

"Stay good rest and pay attention to your diet."

After scanning Richelieu's body changes, Gabriel nodded slightly, very satisfied with the result. She sat back on the sofa and swept the white mist on the teacup with her right hand.

The boiling tea water calmed down and became warm and suitable for the entrance. Gabriel raised the tea cup and placed it beside his mouth, tilting his head slightly.

Well, Jin Junmei from Yan Country is not bad.

This kid still remembers what I like to drink...

"Thank you, senior."

Gabriel's source stone skills are not medical spells, Richelieu remembers them very clearly. If you want to completely eradicate the dark diseases, you still need to take care of yourself. The warm current just now was just starting.

"But, is there anything to say when you come here today?"

Richelieu didn't think that this tutor from the homestay came to Rutland Palace to visit him.

“‘God’ appears.”

A pendant was floating between the two of them, and there was a blue light flashing on it. It was different from when I was in the big library just now. The blue light was much dimmer and could hardly be seen in the sun.

"'god'?"

Richelieu's expression became serious when he heard this word. At this time, she was no longer a student of Gabriel, but a pope of Rutland.

"But now it seems that it is just a temporary awakening, not really coming, or 'becoming a god'."

"Is it temporary..."

After hearing this, Richelieu felt much more relaxed.

Although Rutland is the origin of the church on the continent of Terra and the Sarcotals claim to be "the servant of God", almost all cardinals and popes are not interested in the existence they believe in.

God is just a "tool" for the Holy See to rule Rutland. Such a tool should be kept honestly in everyone's imagination. The sudden appearance of the world will only make Rutland's Holy See to be a great enemy.

Doesn't it sound very deviant?

None of the senior officials in the Holy See believers, but the lower-level people and low-level staff are qualified believers...

But if the Rutlanders knew the true side of the God they believed in, they would probably make the same choice as the Cardinal and the Pope.

The bishops did not believe in God, they were forced to give up their faith.

"No...this is outrageous."

After carefully recalling the contents of the secret volume, Richelieu frowned and shook his head.

"The 'God' has long been dead, and they shouldn't have come again. This 'God' should have been formed by someone who has reached the end, right?"

God has long been dead.

If these five words were heard by ordinary Rutlanders, they would be said from the current pope. I wonder how many people would have their faith collapsed and fall into madness.

If it were an extreme Iberian, it would probably be possible to directly form an army to fight the "crusade" in the Terra world.

"What do you think?"

Gabriel simply asked a question about this speculation, but left Richelieu speechless.

There are two kinds of gods in the world of Terra. One is the gods believed in by the Rutlands, and the other is that ordinary Terras will reach the end of the road to becoming gods.

The Vatican Rutland has never compared the level of these two "gods", because throughout the history of Terra civilization, no one can reach the end and become a god.

"You can become a god when you reach the end" is like a beautiful but vicious legend, attracting countless Terra people to work in this direction and extending their longing hands to the supreme title.

But most people either suffer from ore diseases and are expelled and enslaved in the wilderness or mines, or die in the game of political struggles and shopping malls.

This chaotic continent will not give people the opportunity to develop their origin stone skills with peace of mind. Danger may come anytime and anywhere. Maybe one second before, someone will appear and wipe your neck.

As for those existences on the earth that are already close to God...

It seems that the closer they get to the end, the more they know the impossibility of becoming a god. They have never made such an attempt, even if the starting point is the end point for most people, even if they can barely see the end clearly.

Richelieu naturally knew this truth, and there was such an existence sitting in front of her.

"I will hold a cardinal meeting tonight, and all cardinals must be present and discuss how to deal with this."

The Vatican was not afraid of any country or any existence, except their god Richelieu quickly thought about the arrangements and looked at Gabriel who was drinking tea in front of him:

"I hope..."

“No need.”

Gabriel put down his teacup and stopped Richelieu's words.

"Do whatever you should do, there is no need to enter a wartime state because of this."

"Didn't a 'god' wake up a few years ago? We are doing well now."

She waved her hand and a cup of freshly brewed tea appeared on the table.

“But we know nothing about this newly awakened ‘God’.”

The black box of intelligence is Richelieu's most troublesome thing. The "god" awakened in Rutland a few years ago and expressed his intention to be friendly and cooperative with the Holy See. There is no need for them to make a big fight.

But today's situation is different... The place where "God" awakens, His appearance, and Gratelan know nothing, so it is appropriate to be prepared.

"How is Xiao Fei'er doing recently?"

Gabriel suddenly raised another topic.

Richelieu was stunned and soon understood who this "Xiao Feier" was.

“Saint Raphael recently joined a company called ‘Rhode Island’ as a doctor.”

Before Alison became Gabriel's servant, Raphael lived with her. For the sake of this young saint, Gabriel even left the large library where he had lived for a long time and moved to Arte.

Nai Cathedral went to take care of her.

“That group of people in the ‘Tower of Babel’?”

"right."

The Tower of Babel is a symbol of human disobeying the divine destiny. The organization named after this should be the mortal enemy of the Vatican of Rutland no matter how you look at it.

But in fact, the senior officials of the Rutland Church are similar in nature to the Tower of Babel…

This god in Terra world is also unlucky enough.

Gabriel looked up at the sky outside the window, and a cold and unexpected emotion appeared in his golden eyes for the first time. Richelieu noticed this subtle emotional change and felt a little envy in his heart.

A saint will only be close to a saint and will always keep a certain distance from ordinary people.

Richelieu liked his mentor very much, but the relationship between the two could not go further.

"The awakened 'god' is also on Rhodes, but the Saint Raphael did not approach Him, but was very close to a Vaivan."

"Wayivan?"

Gabriel lowered his head and looked directly at Richelieu's eyes. A momentum instantly unfolded from her body, and it was as thick as a tsunami, and it suddenly pressed on Richelieu's body.

The saint was angry.

"right."

Richelieu did not hide, and met the gaze that came. This huge momentum felt very scary, but at this moment, it was as light as cotton on her shoulders, and had no weight.

She knew she was not lying, and her feedback on momentum was the best proof.

Although this sounds like Kazdale and the Rutland League, it is so indifferent to the world.

After a few seconds, Gabriel looked away and drank the second cup of tea.

"I see."

"Sorry, Xiao Li."

"Nothing, senior."

Richelieu smiled bitterly.

"I also confirmed it several times before I could believe that the news was true."

The Saint Rutland, who never had true feelings for ordinary people, was actually very close to a Vaivan? He even lived together?

When Richelieu heard the news, he wanted to give his secretary a joke to see if she hadn't woken up again.

What about this?

Even if you talk about the gods, you're still serious? What are you talking about the ancient gods???

At this moment, Richelieu was very glad that he did not say the next two sentences, otherwise Gabriel would not only be angry, but might also give himself a thrill.

"Their relationship is not only very close, right?"

But Gabriel had guessed what was later. Richelieu struggled in his heart and nodded slightly.

"That's easy."

Unexpectedly, Gabriel was not angry, and the momentum he had just released disappeared without a trace.

"Like I just said, forget about it and pretend it hasn't happened."

She put down the teacup and stood up. The small wings behind her shone with a shallow holy light, and she looked in a good mood.

"Everything will be clear when Xiao Feier comes back in the future."

"The tea is very good, goodbye Xiaoli."

The saint greeted the pope, leaving behind a golden back, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Click.

The door was closed, and Richelieu was the only one left in the office. She stood in front of the sofa and stared at the brown wooden door in a daze, speechless for a long time.

Finally, she sighed softly and began to pack up the teacup on the table. But when the things on the table came into her eyes, Richelieu's stretched out hand stopped in the air.

Next to the small jar containing Jin Junmei's tea leaves, a box of FERRERO chocolates from Syragu was placed there, and the golden ring logo on it reminded her of her time still living in the big library.

This was her favorite chocolate she had when she was a student. She had to eat a box almost every week when she was studying with Gabriel. As a result, she had tooth decay after a few months, which made her so much pain.

At that time, Gabriel had extracted her teeth and replaced them with a new one. The whole process took less than five minutes and was painless and safe.

However, Richelieu rarely ate chocolate after leaving the big library. In the past two years, she has forgotten that she has such a hobby.

"……Thanks."

Her voice was very light, just like when she was with Gabriel.
