"Your Majesty, the ceremony is ready." Tamad, dressed in costume, knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Please move." ”

At this moment, Murong Feng was already in the Holy Light Cathedral in Divine Grace City, since the riot a few days ago was quelled by the 'miracles' she sent down. Her story quickly spread in all directions. The coronation, originally scheduled for the second day, had to be postponed by three days. Because there were too many princes and nobles from all over the world who came to watch the ceremony. Not to mention the believers and people who come from far and wide.

At this moment, the city was already overcrowded inside and outside the city, and in the large square in front of the Cathedral of the Holy Light, there were countless fanatical believers sitting there praying day and night.

Originally, these believers were all kneeling, but Murong Feng's first oracle issued as the pope immediately after learning of this was to abolish the kneeling ceremony!

In the future, all her followers will only be allowed to kneel to their parents if they are alive, and only to worship the gods if they are dead. Just take off her hat and bow down, no need to make a big salute.

After all, she grew up in a social system where everyone was equal, and she did not have the habit of being worshiped by countless people every day.

However, as soon as this decree was issued, it was first strongly blocked by Tamad, because it would touch the royal power. Imagine that ordinary people don't even have to kneel and salute when they see the supreme pope, who will give you a mere king to kneel and kowtow? Naturally, not to mention those aristocratic lords.

But Murong Feng insisted on going his own way, completely ignoring everyone's opposition, and forcibly issued this holy edict through the newly appointed Archbishop Fenna Golden Sword!

A group of old ministers of the Holy See could only pinch their noses and admit it when they saw that the wood had been completed, but the countless believers gathered in the square in front of the church were thunderous with joy and thunder for a long time. Immediately, the name of benevolence and fraternity of the new pope was once again proclaimed and appreciated by countless people.

However, the princes and nobles of various countries rarely kept sinking when they learned of this.

It can't be helped, who made this new pope too strong. Moreover, they have personally performed miracles in front of countless people, and they have also recovered the three holy weapons lost by the Holy See, which completely proves their legitimate identity as a god's favorite.

Even if the princes and nobles of the world now want to oppose the coronation of the new pope, it is up to the fanatical believers to agree to it.

Therefore, the princes and nobles from all over the world came to the City of Divine Grace one after another with a very complicated mentality.

At the moment, it is located on the viewing platforms on both sides of the square.

"Duke of Kent, I hear you've met the new pope." A young nobleman approached the Duke of Kent, the lord of Divine Grace, glanced at the countless people in the square who were roaring and tsunami, and whispered as best he could, "My father wants to inquire about the new pope, what's so peculiar?" Is it really as strong as it is rumored? ”

The Duke of Kent stroked his carefully repaired short beard, glanced at the young man, and immediately recalled the background information about this person in his mind, and then replied in a tone that was not salty or light: "His Majesty the Pope is the embodiment of the Holy Light in the mortal world, and naturally he is a divine power. ”

The young nobleman understood, hurriedly lowered his head, and left with a smile.

Situations like this have hardly stopped, and as the lord of Divine Grace City, the Duke of Kent knows what these princes and nobles are thinking. But he didn't care at all, after all, as one of the only two remaining Templar Knights of the Holy See, he could be on an equal footing with the king of a country.

At this time, the old butler of the City Lord's Mansion walked up to him, bowed down and whispered, "Master, all the people captured by Archbishop Fenna Golden Sword have been recruited. ”

The Duke of Kent nodded quietly and said lightly: "Did you ask it?" ”

"Asked, it's someone from the Shadow Council." The old butler pursed his lips and said, "Those guys have been planning for a long time, not only to create chaos at the ferry on the other side of the river, but also to spread the plague in the city of Divine Grace and create even greater chaos. ”

Because Grace City is located at the intersection of roads, once it falls into chaos, it will inevitably cause serious delays or even interruptions in the supply of the front line. In addition, the Holy See is an old enemy of the Shadow Council, so it is very reasonable for the Shadow Council to find a black hand here for both public and private purposes.

The Duke of Kent waved his hand indifferently and said, "I didn't ask you this. ”

The old butler hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and whispered to the Duke of Kent.

"Hmph, sure enough, it's the chops that eat inside and out! But it's more than innocent! The Duke of Kent sneered in his heart, and at the same time admired the ruthlessness of the new majesty. Just arrived in Divine Grace City and didn't even sit on a chair, so he slaughtered the few remaining backbones of the Holy See, completely deterring other people with bad intentions.

But the Duke of Kent had a bolder idea in mind......

The Duke of Kent suddenly asked with a cold face, "Is Reinhardt back?" ”

The old housekeeper said with a smile: "Back to the master, the eldest young master has not returned from hunting." ”

The Duke of Kent slapped the armrest of the seat and snorted angrily: "Send someone to catch me back immediately!" Just go! ”

"Yes, sir!" The old butler hurriedly retreated.

The Duke of Kent took a deep breath before calming the anger in his heart. continued to pull a stiff smile and the nobles of various countries who came to inquire about the news were vain.

Bell - !!

A melodious bell rang suddenly, and immediately the pins in the huge square could be heard. Everyone was looking forward to the direction of the church door.

Originally, according to the traditional coronation ceremony, the Holy See would build a high platform in the square, and then engage in a very tedious foreplay in front of all the faithful and the guests.

However, Murong Feng abolished all those red tapes, and went straight to the point, not doing those flashy things at all.

So there was nothing left in the square in front of the Holy See except for two rows of temporary viewing platforms.

With a rumbling sound, the doors of the Basilica of Light slowly opened, and two rows of heavily armed paladins lined the steps on either side.

Bell - !!

The second bell rang, and a group of costumed priests holding various magic weapons slowly walked out of the gate again. At the back were two cardinal archbishops, Archbishop Lines and Archbishop Tamad, each holding a thick canon and a large golden velvet in their hands.

Bell - !!

As the third bell rang, everyone stopped whispering and staring at the church door.

Then two figures, one tall and one short, walked out slowly, and everyone knew that these two were close associates of the new pope. The taller one was a half-elf paladin, who had now been directly promoted by His Majesty the powerful Pope to become the third cardinal. And the short little Lori made everyone stunned and took over the Inquisition.

As for the opposition, it was not heard the next day. Because those who dared to disagree with the new pope had all disappeared from the world after one night......

Coupled with the bloody purge that few people knew about the other day, it was also possible for those who knew about it that the new pope was not as merciful and loving as it was rumored.

Bell - !!

The fourth bell rang, and everyone subconsciously held their breath and their eyes widened.

Then I saw His Majesty the Pope, who was holding the Scepter of Eden, wearing a crown of purity, wearing a bright embrace, and the sword of the king at his waist, walking out slowly.

The square was silent for a moment, followed by a tsunami of cheers, and a frenzy swept through the city. The streets were full of worshippers who bowed in the direction of the Holy See.

At this moment, Murong Feng only felt as if she was in the eye of an invisible storm, and she was like a black hole, frantically absorbing the surging power of faith.

Fortunately, her spiritual power was inexplicably sublimated to a notch not long ago, otherwise she might not be able to withstand such a turbulent and colossal power of faith!

Murong Feng stood at the gate of the church, and a group of bishops, priests, and paladins stood on the steps and bowed slightly to her in order of position.

Murong Feng slowly looked at the huge square with a calm face, and then raised the Scepter of Eden in his hand.

Immediately, a brilliant holy light descended from the sky and enveloped her whole body, setting her off like a goddess of dust!

The bright holy light lasted for a long time, and Murong Feng was now like an oversized light bulb, illuminating the entire square as if it were day. However, all the people who were illuminated by the light felt a burst of whole-hearted comfort, and some believers with illness were instantly cured without medicine.

The countless believers who witnessed this miracle immediately let out hoarse cheers, and then, ignoring Murong Feng's previous edict, they all knelt down and worshipped her, and continued to praise loudly.

"My lord and my god, benevolent and benevolent, Ze is born by the common people, the holy light is eternal, and the divine power is unparalleled!" This chorus of praise echoed over the city for a long time!

And the princes and nobles on the viewing platform were also afraid of the majestic divine might, and they knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads, not daring to show their little caution again.

Bell - !!

The fifth bell rang, and Archbishop Lines, who was holding the Temple of Light in his hand, respectfully walked up to Murong Feng and held up the holy book in his hand.

Murong Feng put down the Scepter of Eden in his right hand and gradually collected the dazzling holy light on the ground, and raised his left hand at the same time, and saw that the thick holy book of light automatically floated in front of her and turned the first page.

Murong Feng glanced at the golden words on the page, raised her head and said softly, but her voice spread throughout the streets and alleys of the entire city, and even the small town on the other side of the river could be heard clearly.

Everyone listened with their ears pricked up in silence.

"From now on, I will walk on earth on behalf of the Light, and it is my duty to spread light, justice and mercy."

"Now I swear in the name of my Light that I will be kind to all the weak."

"I swear by my Light that I will stand up to tyranny."

"I swear in the name of my Light that I will destroy all darkness."

"I swear by the name of my Light that I will protect every unarmed man."

"I swear in my name that I can help anyone who asks me for help."

"I swear in the name of my light that I will not harm any woman or child."

"I swear in the name of my Light that I will be sincere to my friends."

"I swear by the name of my Light that I will die for the world I love."

Every time Murong Feng recited an oath, the entire city would boil and cheer. Until Murong Feng finished reciting the oath, the entire city was instantly immersed in joy and thunder.

It stands to reason that at this time, it should be Tamad's turn to step forward and drape Murong Feng with a golden daze, then the entire coronation ceremony that has been greatly simplified will be considered complete.

However, Murong Feng suddenly felt at this time and asked, "Do you know what the Holy Light is?" ”

Bell - !!

The sixth bell rang at this time, but the whole city fell silent.

As soon as these words came out, the people and believers who were immersed in the cheers all fell silent.

What is the Light? No one seems to have thought deeply about this question, because in the eyes of many people, the Holy Light is a divine power given to mortals by the mysterious gods, and it is precisely because of the Holy Light that there is light in the world. And with the light they can escape the endless darkness and cultivate crops under the protection of the light, while multiplying from generation to generation.

"Your Majesty!" When Tamad heard Murong Feng's sudden words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Because the question is so profound that even the first pope, who created the Holy See, has not been able to give a convincing answer to everyone's heart. So this ultimate question has become almost one of the most taboo topics within the Holy See.

Now I didn't expect Murong Feng to raise this extremely sensitive issue in front of so many people on such an important occasion. If this is not handled well, I am afraid that today's coronation ceremony will turn into a farce that shocks the world.

When the princes and nobles on the viewing platform heard Murong Feng suddenly ask this question, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they all looked back and showed different expressions.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" The Duke of Kent raised his head slightly, his brows furrowed completely: "Why is it enough to discuss sensitive issues only privately within the Holy See, why bother to suddenly mention it on such an important occasion today, isn't it asking for trouble?" Are you still too young......"

Countless people in the city were silent for a while, and then they began to talk to each other, and gradually the discussion became louder and louder, but none of them could give a convincing answer.

Then everyone looked at Murong Feng expectantly, hoping that the new pope could give an answer that would be convincing to everyone.

Bell - !!

The seventh bell rang, completely suppressing the noise of chatter.

"What is the Light?" Murong Feng waited for a moment, waited for the reverberating bell to weaken, and suddenly said loudly: "Holy light is all justice, magnanimity and kindness, and endless light. The Light is also you, me and him, and it resides in your good hearts. As long as you have a good heart, the Light will always be by your side. ”

Murong Feng raised the Scepter of Eden and waved it lightly, and then saw the hearts of countless people light up with a slight light.

People who have a bright light naturally feel shortness of breath and are so excited that they can't control themselves. And those who don't have the light on are a little embarrassed.

Bell - !!

The eighth bell rings!

Murong Feng raised his voice in vain and said, "The holy light is actually the life that carries all things, so the holy light is life, and life is the holy light. ”

Murong Feng waved his scepter again, and a circle of green light lit up around everyone. Some are vigorous, others are weak.

Especially the several paladins and bishop priests standing on the steps, all of them resembled humanoid torches.

And the Duke of Kent on the viewing platform is like a little sun!

Miracles! A real miracle!

This time, no matter who it was, they knelt down to Murong Feng with a happy heart.

Murong Feng put away his supernatural powers and said with a calm smile: "Everyone, please always uphold a kind heart, and please love every life, so that the holy light will always protect you." ”

Bell - !!

The last bell rings!

Murong Feng pulled out the oath and the sword of victory from his waist and pointed it straight to the sky, and said loudly, "May the holy light be with you!" ”

The clear and melodious voice echoed over the city for a long time, and from now on, the most popular greeting for all the people of the Eastern continent, regardless of time and place, was: "May the Holy Light be with you." ”

And Artoria, known as the strongest female pope in history, has completely become the embodiment of holy light in the minds of countless people! (To be continued.) )
