Under the altar, a cardinal, dressed in a red robe, stood under the altar, holding a Bible and looking at Eugen with a smile. The candlelight on the altar shone from behind the cardinal, and it looked like a hazy halo enveloped the cardinal.

Next to the cardinal's two stood a row of boys in black dresses. These were the members of the church choir, and at the moment they were looking at Eugen with clear and curious eyes.

The sun gradually rises, and light shines through the windows of the church, forming several faintly visible pillars of light. The morning light spills onto the walls from the diagonal top, slowly moving along the walls, past the columns, angels, candlesticks, and finally on the altar.

Wisps of green smoke from the burning candle swirled inside, slowly floating upwards towards the vast dome above. The dome is symmetrically distributed with thick black iron lines, and the lines are overlapping and intertwined, giving the illusion that the space is stretched and twisted.

Eugen walked past the colonnade, angels, and candlesticks, walked up to the bishop, and slowly knelt down on one knee.

"Son, who are you?" After Eugen knelt down, the cardinal asked in a holy and peaceful tone.

"I am Eugen of the Habsburgs." Eugen replied simply, these programmed questions West butler had told Eugen that he could answer them directly, and he didn't have to think about it.

The cardinal nodded and smiled, leaned down slightly, and asked in a gentler tone than before: "Eugen of the House of Habsburg, are you willing to be a warrior for the Lord, to defend the honor of the Lord, and to fight for the Lord with your sword?" ”

"I, Eugen of the House of Habsburg, am willing to be a warrior of the Lord, to defend the honor of the Lord, and to fight with my sword for the Lord!" Eugen said sonorously.

"To death?" The cardinal then asked.

"Till death!" Eugen replied.

When Eugen had finished answering, the cardinal turned and walked to the rear, dipped his thumb in some holy oil on the altar, and walked back.

"You will be a warrior for the Lord, upholding the glory of the Lord, and the will of the Lord will be with you wherever you go." Then the cardinal pressed his oil-stained thumb on Eugen's forehead and began to read the scriptures aloud.

The choir boys standing next to them also began to hum in a low voice, and the melodious tones gradually flowed through the air. The sound was reflected through the dome and the surrounding walls, and immediately filled the entire church.

The moment the cardinal pressed his thumb to Eugen's forehead, a clear touch came from his forehead, as if there was a clear stream of water flowing into his heart.

Thinking of the situation of his soul crossing, Eugen couldn't help but feel a sudden jump in his heart, as if he had really received the attention of the Lord.

The ethereal chanting of scriptures reached Eugen's ears, and his spirit suddenly became in a trance. The recent events appeared back and forth in his mind indiscriminately, and faces lingered in front of him, looming, as if there was nothing.

After a long time, the cardinal finally finished reciting the scriptures, and the boys in the choir stopped chanting.

"Alright, Mr. Eugen, the ceremony is over, and you have become a warrior of the Lord." The bishop wrapped his left hand around the Bible and bent down to lift Eugen with his right hand.

Eugen stood up, and his spirit returned to clarity. He looked at the cardinal with a smile and said heartily: "Thank you. ”

The cardinal patted Eugen's arm and said with a smile: "Haha, no, we are all servants serving the Lord and should help each other." ”

The cardinal's words were not wrong, but they were a little frivolous in terms of action. Eugen glanced at the bishop in some surprise, only to realize that the cardinal was surprisingly young.

Due to environmental factors just now, Eugen did not take a closer look. Only then did he realize that the bishop who had helped him preside over the ceremony might only be in his twenties, judging from his appearance.

Cardinals in their twenties, it's incredible. The cardinal is the most effective assistant and adviser to the Pope in the administration of the universal Church, and as a cardinal, he even has the right to elect bishops, and his status is transcendent.

And at this age, if there are no major problems with the cardinal in front of him, he will almost certainly become the pope.

For a future pope, this weight is too heavy.

The cardinal seemed to see Eugen's surprise, he patted Eugen's arm heartily, and said with a smile: "Monsieur Eugen, you still have some rituals to participate in next, if there are any problems, let's go back and complete those rituals first." ”

This action really seems a little intimate, as if the two are old friends who have known each other for many years.

When Eugen heard him say this, he wanted to talk to the future Pope, but he also knew that now was not the time, and if he wanted to talk, he would have to wait until he accepted the title of count.

Eugen nodded to the cardinal and turned to walk out of the church.

Just as Eugen walked out of the church door, the cardinal suddenly shouted to Eugen: "I will stay in this church for about three days, and if Mr. Eugen wants to find me, come to this church." ”

Eugen paused, and looked back at the cardinal. Still smiling, the bishop turned to Eugen and said, "Mr. Eugen, I have come for you, please meet with me as soon as possible. ”

Eugen suddenly felt that he could not understand the young cardinal, and there seemed to be a lot hidden under the standardized smile on his face.

But it was useless to think about it for now, so Eugen turned and left the church. The young cardinal looked at Eugen with a determined expression, he knew that Eugen would definitely come to him.

Coming out of the church, the sun has fully risen above the horizon. The carriage parked in front of the door emitted a dazzling golden glow in the sunlight, and the whole carriage had an almost rustic luxury.

The surrounding soldiers were still standing upright, and the citizens around them had dispersed somewhat, but there were still many people waiting.

The two nuns at the door put on Eugen's cloak and returned the sword to him. Eugen noticed that beside the carriage was a handsome and spiritual black horse, which was his Andalusian war horse---- black gold.

It was customary in the empire that the ceremony of going to the church of the knight was to show his humility, so it was hidden in a carriage. The ceremony of going to the palace to be enshrined is to reflect his majesty and strength, and to reflect the strength of the country, he must ride his own war horse and move forward.

Although Eugen didn't like to be too showy, he couldn't avoid this kind of ritual, so he walked up to Black Gold and turned over and rode up.

The soldiers beside him have also been replaced, and they have been replaced by the most elite heavy cavalry in the country at present---- Black Hawk heavy cavalry under the command of Prince Eugen.
