Chapter 2051 - 2040: Trapezoidal Mountain

Behind the palace is a mountain that presents a trapezoidal shape from top to bottom.Because this is on the side of the Holy Mountain, people at the foot of the mountain simply cannot discover this place.

On this trapezoidal mountain, each layer of giant steps is dotted with a varying number of estates, the further down, the more estates there are.

On the first rank of steps level with the entrance, stands a three-story tall Shining Stone building in the center of the estate.

"As expected of the Church of Light, fully embodying the hierarchy. If there's no surprise, this estate is where the Pope resides."

The uppermost level offers a broad vision, overlooking everything and giving a panoramic view, particularly favored by those in high positions of power.

The same holds true in secular life; successful people, big entrepreneurs, and prominent figures all want to live and work in places as high as possible.

These well-arranged estates in this trapezoidal geographic structure create the appearance of a medieval small town.

Different from Ryan Town, this small town doesn't have random buildings.

Aside from the different geographical positions, the size and scale of the estates are quite similar.

Despite all the stone buildings and fenced walls within the estates, the level of luxury far exceeds anything outside.

In this area, there's only a unique three-story single building belonging to the Pope.

The other estates all have two-story buildings, the rest are similar to the standardized stone houses at the foot of the mountain.

Every estate occupies a vast area; besides the unique single building, there are many standardized stone houses, resembling a small village.

It's evident that the single building is the residence of the Holy Church's high-level members.

As for those standardized stone houses, they are either utility rooms or rooms similar to servant's quarters, used for housing the believers serving the high-level personnel.

Regarding the notion of equality, self-reliance, Ning Fan certainly wouldn't believe a single word in this place.

The most obvious sign of hierarchy is whether one enslaves or drives others.

In the Church of Light, a place with such a clear hierarchy, if the upper layers don't enslave the lower ones, it would be truly strange.

Furthermore, with the scale of these estates, it's impossible to take care of them without enough manpower.

One must know, these estates all come with fruit gardens, and there's even an open-air swimming pool, along with a pool that resembles a hot spring emitting steam.

This is the place Ning Fan regarded as luxurious.

At this moment, the entire trapezoidal area is extremely quiet, the sound of the breeze can be clearly heard.

Despite having a premonition, Ning Fan still asked softly, "Is there no one?"

In this place, Ning Fan's perception is not stronger than Vivian's.

Ning Fan's mental perception being inferior to Vivian's Divine Sense is one thing.

The most important thing is that Vivian is exceedingly familiar with Holy Power... no, she should say she's very resentful towards it.

Under the emotion of hatred, she can clearly discern the differences in Holy Power concentration, thus determining whether there are people here.

After a few seconds, Vivian shook her head, "No one."

"Let's check the Pope's room first."

Continuing along the road, after roughly a mile, Ning Fan encountered a fenced wall, but the wall didn't have a gate, it was left wide open.

"Seems like this place has achieved the ideal of 'no one picks up items on the road', 'doors are not locked at night'.

Ning Fan sneered and walked straight over.

But just then, a white light flashed from the wall, and Ning Fan was bounced back.

"Hehe... there must be magic forbidden here."

Vivian continued to laugh, "Fortunately, it's just a blocking restriction, if there was retaliatory power, you'd probably suffer a bit."

The girl's laughter, like a silver bell, sounded ear-piercing in Ning Fan's ears.

"I don't believe it. A single restriction can stop me."

Ning Fan took a deep breath, his gaze as sharp as a hawk.

Throwing a punch straight ahead, the moment the fist was thrown, a milky white sonic boom cloud appeared in the air.

During this process, Ning Fan clearly felt that something was torn when his fist stabbed forward.

At this moment, the invisible gate suddenly exploded with a brilliant white light.

The estate's walls are not built from stones but crafted from thorn-covered vine-like plants glowing with white light.

After the white light flashed, these thorn-covered vine-like plants seemed to wilt, not only did the glow fade but they went limp.

It took only a few seconds for this plant wall to collapse to the ground.

"Holy Thorns Technique. The most common defense and alert magic of the Holy Church."

Vivian scoffed, "The caster's skill was insufficient, relying on Holy Thorns to perform the technique, and there's no means of counteracting accumulated damage. Truly garbage."

"Come on. You're a demigod, we're merely humans, don't use your standards to measure us. Can you?"

Ning Fan retorted and walked towards the estate again.

This time, there was no occurrence of an invisible wall blocking him.

"Such dense Holy Power!"

Upon entering the estate, even Ning Fan, who is insensitive to Holy Power, could clearly feel the change.

Compared to outside, the Holy Power inside the estate is at least five times denser.

Vivian snorted, "That Pope is quite bold, daring to privately intercept the Power of Faith."

"You know even that?"

After meeting Vivian, Ning Fan felt more and more like a novice, not understanding anything.

"Look over there."

Following Vivian's pointing finger, just a glance left Ning Fan flushed and unable to contain his excitement.

He immediately turned this excitement into action.

With a series of afterimages, Ning Fan dashed to the third floor and took down the gemstone embedded at the tower tip of the building.

Staring at the transparent amber in his hand, with a swan-like white wing buried deep inside, Ning Fan excitedly said, "Angel Wings!"

This gemstone-like amber is exactly the artifact able to summon the Angel Projection with the Angel Wings.

Ning Fan still remembers the day, when under the Angel Projection summoned by Hilde, he suffered an unprecedented beating.

If he hadn't held the mentality of perishing together and severed the source of the projection's power, Ning Fan might have perished long ago.

Now, such a reserved treasure is openly displayed and even falls into his hands, Ning Fan's excitement is imaginable.

"It's just an Angel Projection! Truly a rare thing."

Vivian's face was sour; the Angel Projection indeed held no significance to her.

Meeting this demigod capable of wielding Divine Power, unless the actual Two-winged Angel appears personally, merely a projection would have to submit.

But Vivian has a major merit, which is appreciating the jewel itself.

She doesn't care about the Two-winged Angel, but she covets the shining amber.

Without a few sparkling ornaments worn, she feels uncomfortable.

Originally Vivian planned to flaunt her erudition, but in a flash, Ning Fan disappeared and she missed the chance with the gemstone.
