Chapter 159 - Chapter 39: Face to Face (2) (Second Update)

The arrival of the Holy Father, at any time and in any country, was a significant event. It was even more significant than the ascension of a new king. On one hand, there was only one Holy Father on the entire continent, but there were twenty-three countries. On the other hand, a person who became the Holy Father was usually already over seventy or even eighty years old, making it difficult for them to undertake long journeys like an expedition. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Holy Father would not leave the Vatican. Moreover, traveling with seventeen cardinals and a thousand Temple Knights was unprecedented in the past thousand years.
