"Who is it?" Zhang Wei asked curiously.
Matt did not hide it and said directly, "From the Order of the Knights Templar."
As he spoke, Matt glanced around, as if afraid of being overheard. He picked up his phone and typed an explanation to Zhang Wei and Lu Lianxue.
Soon, Zhang Wei and the others understood the reason from Matt's message. It turned out that in the previous few matches, Zhang Wei had told Matt that he had possibly sensed a fallen angel. Although it might have been a hallucination, for safety's sake, Matt had informed the Holy See of the situation.
Following that, the Holy See received the news and decided to send two members of the Order of the Knights Templar.
"So that's how it is." Zhang Wei nodded, not intending to refuse the Holy See's kindness. He was also very curious about what the Holy See's most elite demon-exorcism legion looked like.
"They should be here soon." Matt glanced around, casually making up a reason to confuse anyone eavesdropping nearby.
...
On the other side, on the road leading to Zhang Wei's high-end hotel.
In a black car, two men in white suits sat in the back seat, each carrying a silver-white briefcase. They looked no different from ordinary office workers. The only conspicuous things were their white suits and the cross emblem on their briefcases.
They were sent by the Order of the Knights Templar to assist Zhang Wei.
The Order of the Knights Templar had a hierarchical structure, from highest to lowest: Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Captain, and Member. The two men in front of them were Captains.
Since they didn't know if Zhang Wei was truly troubled by a fallen angel and were still investigating the fallen angel's whereabouts, the Order of the Knights Templar did not make a big show of helping Zhang Wei. Instead, they dispatched two Captains to protect him.
Just then, the Knights Templar Captain on the left side of the car said, "I don't think it's necessary for us two to protect Zhang Wei. It feels like a waste. Zhang Wei is powerful, but he doesn't have angelic power. How could he sense the aura of a fallen angel?"
Before he finished speaking, he added, "Perhaps he's just nervous. After all, we heard that the Vatican was attacked by a fallen angel. He probably thought about how he had killed a few fallen angels and felt that they would seek revenge."
The other Captain smiled upon hearing this, "I, on the other hand, think that if Zhang Wei can kill a few fallen angels, he must have some skills. Perhaps he really sensed something. So, I think we should proceed with caution. I don't think it's safe to just send the two of us."
The Captain on the left shook his head, "Where is it not safe? I think it's very stable. Although our strength is not as good as Zhang Wei's, only at the level of a top-tier Ghost King, we possess angelic power. Together, we can deal with those who are half a step away from the Nation-Guarding level."
As soon as he spoke, the other Captain was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the window outside and couldn't help but say, "Let's not talk about it anymore. We've arrived. Kairi, whether it's Zhang Wei's illusion or not, we must protect him seriously."
"Of course. I'm just guessing, not slacking off. I absolutely cannot let our guest from the Vatican be harmed. I swear by the Order of the Knights Templar," said the Captain named Kairi.
Then, they got out of the car, carrying their suitcases, and joined Zhang Wei and the others.
"Hello, are you Zhang Wei? My name is Jeshu, and this is Kairi. We are here to provide security and be your guides. Don't look at us as if our strength isn't as good as yours, but when we combine our efforts, we are quite formidable. We can protect Mr. Zhang Wei and Miss Lu Lianxue."
Kairi also smiled and said, "Feel free to tell us if you have any requests."
After a round of polite greetings, Zhang Wei, with Lu Lianxue, set off with Kairi and the others to visit the tourist attractions in the Vatican.
At the same time, on top of a building about a kilometer away from the hotel, Felice looked at Kairi and Jeshu, her attention focused on the briefcases in their hands. Her brows furrowed, "The Order of the Knights Templar? And Captain-level at that. Has the Holy See discovered me? Or are they just simply providing security for their guest Zhang Wei during this time? It seems the difficulty has increased. This is really troublesome. I thought this would be an easy job."
With that, she picked up her phone and called Hill. "I've encountered a bit of trouble. Send some people to help me. Yes, it's not that I'm being overly cautious, but people from the Order of the Knights Templar have arrived. They are escorting Zhang Wei."
...
In a manor in Italy, Hill hung up the phone with Felice and said to a member of the Dark Holy See beside him, "Felice has encountered a bit of trouble. Have a Black-robed Archbishop go and help her, and bring two fallen angels along with him."
"Understood, Lord Hill." The member of the Dark Holy See nodded. In the Dark Holy See, Black-robed Archbishops were of the same rank as the Holy See's Red-robed Archbishops, both being half a step away from the Nation-Guarding level.
...
A long time later, in the Vatican, at the famous tourist attraction, St. Peter's Square.
At this time, even though it was noon and not the peak tourist season, as a famous tourist attraction in the Vatican, the crowd was still astonishing. Everywhere you looked, groups of tourists were coming and going.
Zhang Wei and the others had also arrived here.
"Mr. Zhang Wei, St. Peter's Square was built from 1656 to 1667, taking 11 years to complete. As the largest square in the Vatican, it now hosts tens of thousands of believers every Sunday who come here to listen to the Pope's morning prayer broadcast. It can accommodate up to 200,000 people," Matt explained volubly.
As he spoke, Jeshu and Kairi on the side also looked on with reverence, making the sign of the cross on their chests.
However, at this moment, before Matt could continue his explanation, Zhang Wei suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him and said directly, "Mr. Jeshu, Mr. Kairi, I heard that the members of the Order of the Knights Templar are all granted angelic power by the Pope, so you are very sensitive to fallen angels, right?"
"Yes," Kairi nodded with a smile. "We carry the Pope's blessings, which grant us angelic power. Angels and fallen angels have opposing powers, so we can detect the aura of fallen angels that ordinary demon exorcists cannot."
As he spoke, Kairi shook the briefcase with the cross emblem on it and said, "Once we discover a fallen angel, we will act in the name of the Pope and exercise God's judgment to execute fallen angels who have entered the human world without permission. Why are you asking this all of a sudden, Zhang Wei? Are you also interested in the Knights Templar?"
Jeshu also chimed in with a smile, "With your strength, Mr. Zhang Wei, I believe if you joined our order and were augmented with angelic power, you would not only directly become a Deputy Grand Master but also be invincible among your peers." As Captains of the Order of the Knights Templar, they knew they were supposed to recruit Zhang Wei, and for this reason, Kairi did not forget to try and recruit him using Zhang Wei's words.
However, in the face of their recruitment, Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Actually, I wanted to say that since Mr. Jeshu and Mr. Kairi, you are skilled at dealing with fallen angels, then you should make your move now."
"Hmm? Why?"
"Because the fallen angel has arrived."
"???"
Zhang Wei said, looking to the side. At the same time, another system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Fallen Angel Commander... Hmm? What's going on with this Zhang Wei? Does he have eyes all over his body or a radar? It was like this at the airport, and it's like this again now? I just glanced at him again, and he's found me again?!]
[Host has obtained System Points +510]
Simultaneously, Jeshu and Kairi were both stunned. They were not stupid and understood what Zhang Wei meant. A fallen angel was nearby? Impossible, we were very vigilant... No!
The next moment, as if sensing something, their pupils contracted, and they looked in the direction Zhang Wei was looking, exclaiming in unison, "No, there really is a fallen angel!"
