Volume III: The Beginning of Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter XXVII: The Decision of the Holy See

Although the power of the Holy Light that Raphael was able to summon was still very weak, and it was not comparable to those real Holy Light Priests, the thought that the little girl in front of him had only been a trainee priest for only a week was enough to amaze Meradel.

This may be the reason for the seed of light that Abirus left to Raphael, but if Raphael himself did not have this talent, it would be impossible to achieve his current performance. This was all the more certain after Meladel saw the little girl summon a small celestial creature with her own eyes.

This is not only a Guardian of Light, but also a Messenger of Light!

The light is above! The Holy See of Light has finally ushered in another glorious era!

Meladel and Fezzo, under the bewildered gaze of Raphael and the priests around the square, reverently faced the east and knelt on the ground, thanking the light for its providence!

In the records of the Holy See of Light, in the tens of thousands of years since the establishment of the Holy See of Light, there have only been two [Holy Light Emissaries].

The first Holy Light Messenger Migalo appeared at the beginning of the Second Age, at that time, human beings were beginning to rise on the continent of Entagre with the establishment of Dalaran, and soon after, the mages who studied the power of light began to break away from Dalaran, and under the leadership of Migaro, the Holy Light Messenger, established the Holy See of Light, and it was also with the help of Migala that he initially mastered how to use the power of the Holy Light, and he was also the first human paladin.

The second Holy Light Messenger Attel, appeared at the end of the Second Age, under his leadership, the Holy See of Light from an ordinary sect at that time, leapt to the mainstream sect of mankind, and it was also under the influence of Attel, human beings began to have the profession of priest, before that, human beings have been under the influence of Dalaran, even for the power of light, it has been studying the aspect of lethality, and ignoring the unparalleled protection and healing power of the power of light. Since then, humans have stopped calling those users of the power of light light mages light mages, but rather light priests.

Now, Meladel realizes that it is highly likely that a third Lightbringer has finally appeared, and this time, what kind of changes will occur in the Holy See under the leadership of this Lightbringer Raphael?

And the thought that Raphael is the messenger of the Light naturally leads to the best explanation for everything.

Returning to the Holy See with the Orb of Radiance, his excellent ability to learn, his high affinity for the power of light, and his attraction to celestial creatures can all be explained by his status as a messenger of light, and in turn, these achievements can also support Raphael's identity as a messenger of light.

Of course, this is not a definite oracle after all, strictly speaking, what the Holy See of Light believes in is not a definite god, what they believe in is the light, which is one of the basic forces of the Entagri Continent, not a definite god.

Therefore, unlike some other sects that believe in clear gods and goddesses, the Holy See of Light cannot confirm the identity of Raphael [Messenger of Light] through this "official channel", and similarly, the first two Messengers of Light were only widely recognized after they had made great achievements.

Therefore, although Meradel was willing to believe that Raphael was the third Light Messenger in the history of the Entagri continent, as an archbishop, he could not grant Raphael this status.

After kneeling on the ground and thanking the Light, Archbishop Meladel encouraged Raphael a few words and left, leaving Bishop Fezzo to take care of the rest, and he was going to hurry to inform the Pope of the possibility of a third Lightbringer.

"Mentor Fezzo?" Raphael asked Fezzo as he teased the two philores.

"Ahem! Raphael, you prepare, the official inauguration ceremony of the Holy See priest of the Light may be held in the next few days. Fizzo didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Raphael may be a messenger of the Light, and as a bishop of the Holy See of Light, he is naturally very happy, but remembering that he has only been Raphael's mentor for a week, Fezzo is not only heartbroken.

This is the mentor of the Holy Light Emissary, a legendary figure destined to be recorded in the historical records of the entire Ntagri continent in the future, and when the time comes, I don't know if his name will appear in the history books.

However, it is unlikely that his name will appear, and even if it does, it is likely to be recorded as "the guide of Raphael the Light".

That's not a good thing!

After reassuring Raphael and instructing him in a few priest skills, Fezzo left reluctantly, because he found that the student was too smart, which was a great disaster for the teacher, because it meant that soon, you would have nothing to teach her.

Shortly after returning to the cathedral, Fizzo found Archbishop Meradel who had come out of the Papal Palace.

"Your Excellency Meradel, what are the Pope's instructions?"

"His Majesty the Pope is very happy, but this is not certain after all, and it has not been a good time lately, the Pope seems to know something, but it is inconvenient to reveal it."

"Does His Holiness mean that Raphael should continue his studies as a trainee priest?" When he asked this sentence, Fezzo still had a little expectation in his heart.

"No, whether she is a Lightbringer or not, it is no longer appropriate for her to continue to stay at the Priesthood Training School as a trainee priest, we still hold an inauguration ceremony according to the regulations, and then let her start her practice as a full-fledged priest!"

"An early inauguration?" Fei Zo was a little surprised, you know, although the Holy See of Light holds an inauguration ceremony every year, but that is the rule of those ordinary Holy See churches, as the capital city of the entire Holy See of Light, the inauguration ceremony of the Holy City must only be held once every three years, only those who are extremely talented, practice in the cathedral, and are qualified to take office, can become the protagonists in this inauguration ceremony. Obviously, it has only been less than a year since the last inauguration, and the fact that the inauguration ceremony is now means that the Holy See will have to change its schedule in the future, which is a big deal.

"It's not an early inauguration ceremony, it's an inauguration ceremony for her personally!"

Fezzo was taken aback!

The inauguration ceremony is not a trivial matter, not to mention the inauguration ceremony of the Holy City, the core city of the human race, the inauguration ceremony of the Holy City Holy See Cathedral, every time in the past, various human kingdoms and other friendly countries will send representatives to participate, and some even the king himself will come, this is because every time the inauguration ceremony of the Holy City Cathedral is a good opportunity for those kings to increase their strength, any Holy Light priest or paladin, in the eyes of those kings, is an incomparable wealth.

And now, for the sake of Raphael alone, and as a trainee priest, the Pope has decided to hold an inauguration ceremony, which I have to say is also quite bold.

This not only means a huge consumption of material and financial resources, but also contains the importance that the Holy See attaches to Raphael, so that even if she does not recognize Raphael's identity as a [Holy Light Messenger], she will not feel uncomfortable in the future.

"It is worthy of the crown of the Pope, it is really courageous!"

"That's right! So next, we're going to get busy! Oh, hard work! The fatigue of last year's inauguration ceremony has not yet eased! Although Meladel complained, the expression on his face was one that was about to laugh.

"The light is above! It's going to be a big celebration! Although Fazzo is a little sorry that he can't continue to teach Raphael, as a bishop of the Holy See of Light, he is still happy about the leap that the Holy See is about to usher in.

Once the process of the inauguration was determined, Fezzo left, and as bishop, he had to take on the main responsibility of the inauguration ceremony with the other two bishops who remained in the cathedral.

The Holy See of Light has a total of four cardinals and seven bishops, and the inauguration ceremony is held every three years, and the person who presides over the ordination ceremony will rotate among the four cardinals, and the remaining seven bishops are responsible for assisting, and in normal times, two of the four archbishops need to go to the dioceses of various human countries to make rounds, and there will be four bishops accompanying them, and the remaining two cardinals and three bishops are responsible for staying in the Holy City.

And now the Pope has temporarily decided to hold an inauguration ceremony, because of the time constraints, it is obviously unrealistic to recall those cardinals and bishops who are out on patrol, after all, the inspection of various dioceses is related to the foundation of the Holy See of Light, so everything is pressed on one of the two cardinals left behind, Meladel, and the remaining three bishops naturally have to bear most of the preparations.

After Fezzo left, Meradel hurried out of the room, he had to do something else.

In fact, after reporting to the Pope about Raphael, His Holiness the Pope decided to hold an inauguration ceremony for the future Messenger of Light on an interim basis, and also made a major decision.

The recent return of the Shining Orb to the Holy See has enveloped the entire Holy City in a joyous atmosphere, and the grand ceremony lasted for three full days, and a large number of nobles and commoners are still stranded in the Holy City. Through this celebration, the Holy See of Light not only re-established its right to interpret the power of Light, but also forced the rulers of the human kingdom to publicly express their support for the Holy See of Light. The Magical Capital of Dalaran could only sit back and watch the Holy City expand its influence in this matter, and could not openly oppose it.

But with the end of the celebration, the impact of the return of the Radiant Orb will slowly subside, which is not a good thing for the Holy See of Light to continue to expand its influence, since the Griffin Dynasty began to unify the entire human race, the entire Holy See of Light has been constantly suppressed by the rulers, causing the Holy See to lose a lot of power in many ways, both financially and in influence. To recover these losses, it is not enough to have a lost Orb of Radiance and a celebration.

We must seize the opportunity brought by the return of the Radiant Orb, continue to make the Holy City the center of conversation for the entire human race, and even the Orderly camp, and force those human kingdoms to recognize the interests of the Holy See of Light through various means, only in this way can the Holy See maximize the influence brought by the return of the Radiant Orb and better restore the power of the Holy See!

This was the fundamental reason why Pope Gulmephos XI was willing to hold an inauguration ceremony for Raphael. The triennial inauguration ceremony is an extremely important event in the Holy City, and each inauguration ceremony will attract the rulers of the human kingdom to watch the ceremony, and the Holy See can use this inauguration ceremony to push Raphael to the forefront, using the name of "Messenger of the Light" to openly resist the pressure of Dalaran, and on the other hand, it can also show the Holy See to those human kingdoms!

Of course, the key to all this is the achievement of Raphael, the "messenger of the Light" himself. No matter how much thought the Holy See put into this inauguration ceremony, if Raphael will not be able to show his talent in the slightest, then this inauguration ceremony will become a joke for the Holy See of Light, and let the rulers of the human kingdom further see the weakness of the Holy See.

Therefore, how to build momentum for Raphael after the inauguration ceremony and allow her to gain enough merit to match her status as a "messenger of the Light" is something that Meradel needs to consider.

As Fezzo sent invitations to the inauguration ceremony to the kings of the various human kingdoms and other friendly races, rumors of this special inauguration ceremony began to circulate throughout the Order.

The Holy See of Light did not keep Raphael's identity a secret, so it was easy for the kings to understand the reason for the inauguration, although the Holy See did not explicitly recognize the identity of the Lightbringer, but for these kings, it was a big deal anyway.

Although there will be some friction between countries in the human race, after all, the general environment is there, compared to the chaotic camp that threatens the survival of mankind at all times, the grievances and grievances between human kingdoms are just as ordinary as the fighting spirit between children in the face of tens of thousands of years of hostility. Therefore, they know very well that no matter how fierce the internal struggle is, they can't be like those demons at the beginning, and they can't get rid of their vitality in the end, and they haven't recovered until now.

What's more, in the late stage of the camp war thirty years ago, although the war ended hastily for various reasons, the human and elves, as the two main forces of the orderly camp, suffered a lot of damage, and now although thirty years have passed, the number of ordinary soldiers has naturally recovered, but the hero-level combat power is not so simple to cultivate.

Therefore, a figure who has the potential to grow into a legendary, or even a demigod, hero like the first two Lightbringers, cannot be overly concerned.

With this in mind, this inauguration ceremony for one person finally became a myth.
