Chapter 086 The Archbishop of the Northern Wasteland
Sainz impatiently pulled Xu Dong to the temple and left, and said, "Hurry, it's not too early." Let's use the teleportation array to get to the Holy See as soon as possible! ”
Xu Dong shouted, "Wait, my lord, can you take my two guardian knights to the Holy See to see them?" They're just outside. ”
Sainz frowned and said, "Two more people to bring?" You must know that using a teleportation array consumes magic crystals, and the two of us will consume at least two third-order magic crystals to teleport to the Holy See at such a long distance. If you take two more people, it will be completely out of the budget of the Diocese of Lilacburg. Forget it, I'll treat me this time. ”
Xu Dong bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
Sainz waved his hand, turned around and asked an attendant to go out and call Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing into the temple. Immediately, the four of them entered the deepest part of the temple together, only to see that there was a five-meter-square pentagram teleportation array in the depths of the temple, and the four of them stood in the middle of the teleportation array.
Xu Dong only felt a slight dizziness, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. I saw that the four of them were in a huge arched building, and the four walls of the building were full of exquisite murals and sculptures, which was very beautiful.
An attendant in a white robe came up to Sainz and said, "It's Sainz, welcome back to the Holy See, is your Excellency here for Song Day Mass?"
Sainz nodded and said, "Yes, please pass on the acolyte of Boent, I have brought Pastor Xu Dong and his two guardian knights from the Pearlling Diocese to request access to the Holy Spirit Hall."
"What? My lord, are you going to bring a missionary priest into the Basilica of the Holy Spirit? The squire asked in surprise.
"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to pass on Lord Boente, don't forget, Pearl Collar Parish, Pastor Xu Dong!" Sainz glared and said sternly.
The attendant realized that he was talking too much, and immediately bowed his head and bowed and withdrew.
A short time later, a Priest of Wands, dressed like Sainz, walked into the teleportation hall quickly, this Priest of Wands was much younger, about forty years old, and he looked like a human being, with brown hair.
"Ahh How dare you be greeted by Lord Laubert in person? Sainz stepped forward and laughed. Although Borne is a priest of scepter like Sainz, Borne is the Pope's chamberlain, and the royal chamberlain is certainly not comparable to a foreign official.
Boente was very polite, a little too polite, he greeted Sainz and Xu Dong very cordially, and even Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing Boente behind Xu Dong also greeted one by one.
"This must be Pastor Xu Dong? Ah, it's really a talent! Even His Majesty the Pope has praised you, and I will ask Pastor Xu Dong for more advice in the future! Born smiled at Xu Dong's hand.
Xu Dong was only stunned for a moment before he reacted, the matter of guarding the dragon must have reached the Holy See. So Xu Dong smiled quietly: "I have long admired the name of Lord Boente, I am just a small missionary pastor, how dare I talk about the word teaching in front of adults."
Boente exaggeratedly said: "Hey~ Brother Xu Dong is too modest, I heard that you are the most talented divine servant in the past!" It won't be long before the position is above us old guys. His Majesty the Pope and His Majesty the Emperor San Carnot were wondering when they would see you, but they didn't expect you to come! Haha, look at me, I hit it off with Brother Xu Dong at first sight, and I forgot about business. The Day of Songs Mass has begun, so come with me to the Holy Spirit. ”
Boen followed Xu Dong in front, chattering with Xu Dong along the way, and from time to time he introduced the allusions and history of various buildings and landscapes of the Holy See with Xu Dong. It seems that he is really a brother to Xu Dong. Sainz smiled wryly and followed behind with Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing.
The entire Holy See is actually a city made of white marble, located less than forty miles east of the capital of San Carno. So the San Carnot Empire actually has two Majestic, an emperor and a pope. This has to be said to be a very embarrassing situation. The San Kano Empire is the most powerful nation of the Terrans in the Warcraft Continent, with an army of 1.2 million. However, the Holy See is not inferior, although the military force under the direct command of the Holy See is not much, but almost most of the Terran people are followers of the Holy Light God Cult. Therefore, almost no human nation dares to disobey the will of the Pope, and San Carnot is no exception.
Xu Dong followed Pointe to a huge city square, and was directly shocked by the scene in front of him! At least hundreds of thousands of believers crowded the square, each kneeling with their hands clasped in front of their chests, bowing their heads and singing praises. The sound was deafening, and it seemed that the whole Holy See was singing. No wonder it's called Song Day.
At the front of the square there is a majestic and gorgeous snow-white church, hundreds of priests wearing holy robes stand on the platform in front of the church, and in the middle are two thrones, on the left throne sits a middle-aged man wearing a crown, in his forties, medium stature, blonde hair, and a gorgeous robe looks very majestic. The appearance is also relatively handsome, but it looks a little gloomy. This must be the Emperor of San Carno.
On the throne to the right sat a gray-haired old man, dressed in a gold-trimmed robe, smiling kindly, and wearing a high papal crown on his head to indicate his identity.
Boente led Xu Dong and them gently to the platform of the cathedral, and under the surprised gazes of hundreds of senior priests, Boente asked Xu Dong and Sainz to stand very close to the throne. He walked up to the Pope and leaned over to whisper a few words in the ears of the Pope and Emperor San Carno.
The Pope and Emperor San Carnot immediately looked at Xu Dong's side, both of them smiled and nodded at Xu Dong in greeting, and Emperor San Carnot even put his right hand on his forehead and bowed to Xu Dong.
Xu Dong also bowed slightly in return, and when he looked back, he saw Sainz looking very excited, his face flushed, and he felt very funny. In fact, it is no wonder that Sainz, although he is a priest of scepter and has the right to meet the Pope, on a day like today, he may only once in a lifetime to stand so close to the throne! Among the hundreds of pastors on this stage, which one is not higher than him? So many bishops are standing in a position lower than him, which is enough for him to blow for the rest of his life.
The hundreds of senior priests on the platform and the thousands of imperial nobles in front of the platform were in turmoil at this time! There was only one question in my mind, who was the young man in the missionary robe? Why are both Majesties greeting him?
The time after that was a torment for Xu Dong was like a fucking music singing conference, with various team choruses, choruses, tenor soloists, children's chorus, and youth chorus. After singing this and that, it took three hours of tossing!
Then the Pope stood up with a smile and gave an explanatory speech on the doctrine of the Holy Light, and Xu Dong was already asleep standing up. The speech lasted for more than half an hour, and when Xu Dong woke up with the enthusiastic cheers of hundreds of thousands of believers at the end, he didn't know where he was.
After concluding this lengthy speech, the Pope finally declared the Day of Songs Mass to a successful conclusion. This time, even Xu Dong couldn't help but cheer with the believers!
As a result, the Pope once again raised his arm to stop the noise of the faithful, smiled and said: "Finally, my children. I would also like to introduce you to a young man. Pastor Xu Dong from Pearl Collar Diocese. ”
After speaking, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Xu Dong and smiled: "My child, please come over and come to my side."
Xu Dong walked up to the Pope with some twist, shook the Pope's hand, bowed his head and gave a kiss.
The Pope took Xu Dong's hand and said to hundreds of thousands of believers: "This Pastor Xu Dong, his devotion to the Holy Light God can make a saint feel ashamed. He built the Holy Church alone in the deserted Pearl Collar in order to spread the grace of the Holy Light to the poor and savage orcs! His actions were noble and selfless! Just to be able to sing God's hymn everywhere in the northern wilderness like here! Let's sing for Pastor Xu Dong's piety! ”
Hundreds of thousands of believers once again sang praises to Xu Dong with adoring faces: "How far have you traveled, thorns and sand and dust all the way, leaving behind the fragrance of roses and milk." Take the kingdom of God far away, and let the divine light shine as far as you can see......"
Xu Dong smiled and waved his hand to the believers, but his heart was full of grief and indignation: "Can you stop singing?" Aren't you tired after singing all day? ”
After finally finishing the singing, the Pope announced: "Because of Pastor Xu Dong's piety and dedication, I, Astana XV, exercise the right given to me by God, and appoint Pastor Xu Dong as Bishop of the Diocese of the Northern Wilderness!" Bestow the Holy Decree and the Holy Light Divine Spell "Angel Descent" and "Divine Praise"! ”
As soon as these words came out, even Xu Dong was stunned. Holy Light Divine Magic or something, let's not talk about him first. O Bishop of the Diocesan! And a diocesan bishop of the entire northern wilderness! That is, the archbishop who is in charge of the entire Bimon Empire! Skip the Principal Priest, Templar Priest and Scepter Priest directly, and you will be promoted to the fourth level! Although for the time being, there is not a single church in the entire Beamon Empire......
Before Xu Dong could react, an inopportune voice sounded: "His Majesty the Pope!" I'm against it! ”
Xu Dong subconsciously turned around and said: "Opposition is invalid!" It caused a burst of laughter from the believers.
Xu Dong turned around and saw a thin middle-aged Scepter Priest looking at him with an angry face, Xu Dong scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Oh, I mean, this lord." Why do you oppose His Holiness the Pope's decision? ”
The Astana Pope also frowned and said, "Pastor Hillal, I'll talk about your matter later, you don't know the situation of Pastor Xu Dong." Step aside. ”
The priest of the scepter, named Hilal, said with an indignant face: "Your Majesty! No matter how great the credit of Pastor Xu Dong is, no matter how devout he is to the Holy Light God, he has never heard of such a ridiculous thing as being promoted from a lowest-ranking missionary priest to a diocesan bishop in one fell swoop! Not to mention the "Angel Descent" and "Divine Praise" to him! I have served the Holy Church for twenty-five years, and I consider myself to be as devotion to God as anyone else! But he has not been nominated for the bishop for ten years! Is this fair? ”
Xu Dong spread his hands and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Hilal said: "As a bishop, not only must you have absolute devotion to the Holy Light God, but your own strength is also crucial! I question whether Pastor Xu Dong is qualified for the bishopric position! Then, let the Holy Light God arbitrate my doubts. I ask for a sacred contest with Pastor Xu Dong! ”
