What other choice was there?
Wait...
Looking at the excited expressions of the crowd, Robert suddenly thought of something.
The next second, he straightened his collar and followed the crowd.
Today was a celebration!
More importantly, that sacred object of the church would also be displayed!
The Sword in the Stone.
This was the only holy relic in the world that could be publicly displayed in front of the world.
This sword was also known as the Divine Sword in the Stone.
It was rumored to have the power to kill gods, but no one had ever seen the true power of this holy relic.
This was because the previous owner of the Divine Sword in the Stone, the Holy Roman Emperor, had stabbed it into a huge rock when he was on his deathbed. He told the world that the sword in the stone would also fall into eternal slumber with his passing.
Only the one recognized by the Divine Sword in the Stone was qualified to pull it out. Otherwise, even if a literal God came, they would not be able to pull it out.
As such, the church would take out the Divine Sword in the Stone during their annual celebration and see if the chosen one would arrive.
However, when the believers who made the pilgrimage arrived in front of a rock that looked like granite and was covered with moss, they would all look confused.
The Sword in the Stone was stabbed into this stone.
However, the holy relic was not something anyone could see. Therefore, if they were not recognized by the Sword in the Stone, they could not see the sword at all.
Many people had their doubts. Was there really a sword in the stone? Why could they not see it?
The church's explanation was very straightforward.
"You can't see it? That doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
"That just means you're not recognized by the sword in the stone."
[ Realm suppression detected! The realm of the person in front of the user has been greatly suppressed. His strength is most likely disguised! ]
A warning was given by the system!
Robert subconsciously looked at a middle-aged man in front of him.
His realm was greatly suppressed?
Robert instinctively became vigilant.
It was true that realm suppression existed in this supernatural world, but it was only something that could happen with an actual God.
If an actual God were to descend to this world...
Their realm would be suppressed by the laws of this world. They would be suppressed to the level of a demigod.
After all, ordinary people did not need to suppress their realms.
This immediately aroused Robert's suspicion and wariness.
"System, check this person's information."
[ Name: Karo Kambri ]
[ Realm: Bronze-level 7-star (Actual realm is Silver-level 4-star) ]
[ Identity: Follower of the Pitch Black Abyss ]
As expected of the system, it could even see the other party's realm before the suppression.
Why would a Silver-level awakener suppress his level?
This made Robert very suspicious.
However, when he saw the words Pitch Black Abyss, Robert suddenly felt his vision go black. He realized that he was standing on the edge of a cliff. A few hundred meters below his feet, the Abyss was filled with a black mist. Within the mist, there was a scarlet light, almost as if the Abyss was alive, as if it was ready to climb up at any time.
Suddenly, Robert was pulled back into reality. At that point, he realized that his back was drenched in cold sweat. If the system had not pulled him back to reality in time, he would have been swallowed by the Abyss just now.
Robert took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He did not expect that just knowing the other party's name could lead to such serious consequences. Robert still had a lingering fear.
If thou gaze long into an abyss...
The Abyss was also staring at you...
The Abyss will also gaze into thee.
After regaining his composure, Robert guessed that there should be a powerful dark God at the bottom of the Abyss!
Obviously, those who believed in this God were a group of cultists!
Robert rationally analyzed that their appearance on such a big day was definitely not a coincidence. There must be some reason behind it.
At this moment, Robert cursed the pope under his breath
The holy city of Rome had been peaceful for too long.
The actual manager of this city — the church — had become completely arrogant.
Otherwise, how could the church allow cultists to infiltrate the city on such an important day?
Robert had a bad premonition.
"System, help me investigate, how many cultists have infiltrated this city?"
Robert quickly received a response. The system displayed a three-dimensional topographic map of the entire city in his mind. He could clearly see the distribution and flow of the entire population of the city.
The red dots on the map represented the number of cultists.
This entire area was densely packed with red dots! There was one in almost every square meter. At first glance, the number was not that big of a deal. After all, that number paled in comparison to the total population of the holy city of Rome.
However, when actually calculating the number, there were at least tens of thousands of cultists here right now!
Robert quickly thought on his feet. He could imagine that this group of cultists were definitely not here just to participate in the festivities.
It was obviously not safe to stay here for too long. Should he run away?
Robert felt that the holy city of Rome was currently a very dangerous place to be in. Dealing with tens of thousands of cultists was not something that a small bronze-level character like him could do.
Dealing with cultists was best left to the professionals.
With this in mind, Robert left the crowd and walked to a corner. He immediately took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
This number was specifically marked on the phone by his predecessor. It was specified that he should only call this number during emergencies.
"Beep beep beep beep beep."
A moment later, the other party answered.
A melodious and pleasant voice rang out from the phone.
"Junior brother, why did you suddenly decide to call senior sister?"
