Destiny is like a river, and all beings are like fish.

The resurrection of Oss had even greater impact in Goth, Eland, and even in the Holy Empire than Oss had anticipated. Because of some of the huge interests involved, many eyes are now focused on the progress of the whole incident, so the fate that Oss expects has actually quietly unfolded after his resurrection.

After pushing open the heavy wooden door of the conference room, Oss saw Father Etta and Priest Stanley talking affectionately, and there was no sign that there was actually a rivalry between the two.

"God of Light willing, we're meeting again, little Os. Stanley waited for Oss to greet him, then greeted him with a smile and spoke as he went. "It's not really important for me to come this time, just to inform you that there is a dinner tonight at the Rose Manor outside the city, and Archon Emmed has invited you to come with him. ”

Oss was stunned for a moment, he had heard of the Rose Manor, which was one of the few places where the Gothic City held the highest level of dinner. The Gothic city is built on the mountain, although it is divided into four urban districts in the southeast, northwest and northwest, but it is not a regular quadrilateral, the four urban districts are only roughly divided according to the direction, and the area is very different, the largest southern district of the city, is the civilian area, next to the city gate, followed by the prosperous western district of the city and the slave trade, The eastern part of the city, and finally the northern aristocratic district, where most of the wealth and power of the Gothic city and the surrounding dozens of towns and villages are concentrated, are all located in the city lord's mansion and the Gothic cathedral, the former is the control of secular power, and the latter is the representative of theocracy. Gothic City is a small town compared to other cities in Eland, but it has a high political status in Eland, as the number of nobles in Gothic is the highest among all cities in Eland. The area around Gothic City is rich in soloran grass, which is one of the main medicinal herbs for the treatment of trauma. Before the establishment of the Holy Empire, the Gothic City was very famous for its Sorolan grass, and many merchant groups came to visit, and after the establishment of the Holy Empire, the medicinal herb market here gradually took shape, and the prosperous commerce and trade prompted many locals to become rich overnight, and after having a lot of wealth, many people became nobles through political donations, and then formed an arm, and then established meritorious deeds and obtained fiefs. The Ernst family is one of them, and the current head of the family, Fernando. Ernst was a hereditary viscount, president of the Senate of Gothic City. The family fief was not far from Gothic City, only twenty miles away, and the Ernst family's famous rose estate was built in the fief, with beautiful scenery and a wide area. Prior to this, Oss had never been to the Rose Manor, as he was only an aco-priest and was not qualified at all, even though his aco-priest was hereditary. The entire North City Chapel, and Father Etta is qualified to be invited. But this time, High Priest Ahmed had a priest come and invite him, and he would lead him there, which means that the development of events is now in his favor.

After thinking all of this, Oss replied with a firm and humble voice, "It is my pleasure. ”

After seeing Oss's attitude, Stanley was very satisfied, and said approvingly: "Little Os, don't be nervous, there will be a carriage to pick you up tonight, and then you just need to follow Your Excellency the Archon." ”

After speaking, he turned to the priest on the side and said, "Okay, Father Eta, I have to go back to the court, so I won't stay here for long." ”

Father Etta tapped his right hand on his shoulder and responded, "There's Priest Raustenli, I'll send you." ”

The meeting ended after a few words, but the brief meeting gave Oss some peace of mind.

Of course, Oss is not the only smart man, and Father Etta found Oss again after seeing Stanley away, and cared for Oss kindly and kindly, perhaps he also felt that this was too deliberate, and said to Oss as if he were talking casually.

"You've been growing up in our chapel since you were a kid, and this is the sixteenth year, right?"

Oss was actually very tired of this kind of deliberate concern in his heart, but he had always been stupid and stupid before, and coupled with the disparity in status, he had to deal with it respectfully. "Yes, Father Etta, I have been in our church in the northern part of the city for sixteen years, and I am grateful for all that the church has given me, and I am grateful for the care you have always taken care of me. After that, he gave a formal prayer to Father Eta.

Father Etta hurriedly supported Oss, he was very satisfied with Oss's respect, and then said kindly: "In the past, because you were still young, and there were some people who secretly obstructed you, your clear role has not been determined, so you can only do some trivial tasks such as welcoming guests and doing chores. This time, you have experienced such a big thing, and I obviously feel that you are much more mature than before, and besides, you are already an aco-priest, and you should have to bear more burdens, so I have decided to let you take over the affairs of our ascetic hall in the North City church from now on. ”

Oss was not surprised at what Father Etta said, but he still looked frightened and flattered, and saluted Father Etta again with gratitude.

"God of Light, thank you for your cultivation, Oss will certainly live up to your trust, unswervingly follow your footsteps, and spread the glory and will of God to more believers. ”

The development of things is such a drama, and it is such a reality. Oss knew that without the affection shown to him by High Priest Emerde today, his life would have remained the same, and Father Etta would not have supported him in the charge of the Penance. However, when Emmed, who held the scepter of faith in Gothic City, stood behind him, Father Etta had to make a certain statement, otherwise his own position would be shaky, in the entire history of the Holy Religion, although there were many cross-level confrontations and successful things, but these successful cases have one thing in common, there will always be more than one strong backup behind the low-status people.

Compared with Oss, Priest Stanley, who left in a hurry, was not calm, and was standing respectfully in a room of the Gothic Cathedral at this time, carefully reporting to a middle-aged man everything that had happened in the small church in the North City before.

The middle-aged man was the Archon Emmed, the patriarch of Gothic City, dressed in a wide robe with black and red edges, and playing with a sterling silver cross of ten centimeters in his left hand. When Stanley's debriefing was over, he thought for a moment, looked up into Stanley's eyes, and then asked two questions.

"Are you sure he was dead when you went to Mass a few days ago?

Stanley heard Emerd's inquiry and hurriedly answered.

"Because of his special status, he is a hereditary deacon, so I used the spirit exploration technique at that time, and I can't go wrong, Priest Etta and Sister Elena were both there, and they were able to prove that Oss was dead at that time. After he was resurrected, I specially applied a healing spell to him, and the entire spell was completely integrated into his body, without any abnormality, and the healing effect was perfect, which could definitely rule out necromancy. My lord, with all due respect, this is a miracle, and if you report it to the Pope's Hall, you will definitely succeed in becoming a god's favor. ”

Emerd's eyes were sharp, like a griffin's, and the pressure on Stanley increased.

"When someone asks you in the future, you should answer it truthfully. ”

Stanley was overjoyed, knowing that Emmed was acquiescing to his suggestion, and also hinted that he could spread the matter to the outside world, and directly characterize the matter as a miracle, and use public opinion to promote the reporting of the "divine favorite", if it succeeds, it will be a huge political achievement for Emmed and him, and Emmed has a good chance that he can be directly promoted to the position of Metropolis, and as the main participant in the event, he will definitely take Emmed's place. Stanley understood Emerd's hint, so his expression became more respectful, and he said with sincere fear, "Please rest assured, I know what to do." ”

"Okay, you go down first, this matter is very important, and it is not up to you and me to decide, from reporting to trial, it still needs to be approved by many big people, and we can only do some preliminary auxiliary foreshadowing. Emmed waved his hand.

Stanley nodded yes and stepped back out of the room, gently closing the wide door carved with the Lord of Light and the goddess of fate.

Watching Stanley retreat, Emmed withdrew his gaze and continued to play with the cross in his hand while muttering to himself.

"Divine Favor, I hope this is an opportunity. Wood, I made my choice, and now it's time for you to choose. ”

Of course, although the metropolitan in charge of the affairs of a county cannot be immediately promoted to the cardinal archbishop, but with this political achievement, after being a metropolitan for a full term, without major mistakes, he will be the most promising one among all the contenders, so there is another name for the priest on the mainland, "the ladder of cardinal archbishops". Of course, due to the selection rules of the Divine Favorite, each county of the Holy Empire can only report one quota each year, and then after the comprehensive evaluation and trial of the Pope's Hall, it can finally determine whether there is a Divine Favor every year. Undoubtedly, it is not necessary to elect a person to report, in fact, the last one to come was five years ago. Even though he knew how difficult it would be to do this, Emmed decided to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"The red robe is indeed much more pleasing to the eye than the black one. High Priest Emmed closed his eyes, enjoying the bright sunlight that filtered through the large floor-to-ceiling windows into the room.

The black robe with red borders is the robes of the high priest, while the red robes with black borders are the robes of the metropolitans. Wood in Emmed's mouth is the Metropolitan of Elan County, and his robe is red with black trim.

The Holy Church has been established for more than 3,000 years, and has long established a perfect hierarchy, with white robes for monks, white robes for auxiliary priests with black edges, high priests with black robes and white edges, priests with black robes and red edges, metropolitan robes with black edges, and archbishops with red robes, so they are also called cardinal archbishops, and the pope is a golden robe. In this regard, Cicero, the greatest fox priest in the history of the barbarians, once said a classic comment two thousand years ago, "Mankind always likes to show off his wealth and power with some inexplicable things, clothes and accessories, flashy, full of disgusting dirty greedy desires." And his contemporary, the Holy Empire, Constantine the Great, replied with only two words to the caustic comment on Cicero's sacrifice, "Bullshit!".
