Chapter 243: Zen Rang

10 years of the Bright Calendar, the continent of Draenor.

The situation of the expeditionary force in the north of Draenor is already similar to the environment of the Old World, the only difference is probably that the immigration movement and pioneering operation are in full swing, and a large number of poor people and landless nobles from the Old World have poured into this strange new world, as for how many of them have arrived involuntarily, it is unknown.

For nearly ten years, although the expeditionary force has been constantly transporting people to the New World, the expeditionary force area north of the Central Forest is still very empty, because in the Old World, most of the non-aristocratic commoners and poor people cannot leave the lord's land, and those who can buy tickets to the New World are the freedmen and city dwellers along the coast of Sword Bay, in addition to the sold slaves and criminals.

The population of the Dawn Kingdom is also growing, the kingdom continues to absorb slaves and savages to join the kingdom, and even many intelligent races like the tiger people and minotaurs have also been incorporated into the brilliance of the God of Light, and the entire kingdom is thriving.

The markets and outposts that were once established near the county of Ruth have continued to expand, and no one has interfered with the trade here, and even the Church of Dawn rarely mentions this matter anymore, in fact, the activities of the Church of Dawn have been decreasing in recent years, and if it weren't for the fact that the gods have not sent down oracles, many people wonder if the Lord of Dawn has fallen.

However, the Expeditionary Force and the Dawn Kingdom are still hostile on the surface, both sides refuse and prohibit each other's priests from entering the territory to preach, no matter which god's faith, this restriction is not a big problem for the Expeditionary Force, but for the Church of Light, it is equivalent to giving up the believers who have been quite large in the Expeditionary Army, which is not big or small, it is a loss.

……

In the 20th year of the Bright Calendar, the church city of the Dawn Kingdom.

The main shrine of the Church of Light has been renovated again in the 8th year of the Bright Calendar, and it has not been moved again for 12 years, and the time of 12 years has made the main shrine fade away from impetuousness and prosperity, and the time like water has washed this holy place on the ground of the light god, the divine light is still the same, the sacredness is still the same, solemn and majestic.

In the past, there were often believers praying sincerely in the square in front of the temple, and now there is no figure of believers praying, and the knights of the three major knights of the Sun, the Holy Sword, and the Light are lined up everywhere, and they are heavily guarded.

His Majesty the Pope, the supreme ruler of the Dawn Kingdom and the spokesman of the God of Light on the earth, was now wearing a ceremonial robe, holding the sacred scepter, standing on the platform with a kind smile on his face, looking at the past, the dense crowd crowded on the wide avenues around the square, looking up at him solemnly.

In front of him were countless believers, and behind him, humble and loyal knights, nobles and ministers of the kingdom, and bishops, cardinals, and saints of the Church stood respectfully in front of the stage.

"Since 20 years ago, my Lord blessed me, because the spirits of the dead have ravaged the earth, and darkness has covered the world, and all the people are ignorant and ignorant, and they have been in confusion all day long, and my Lord has been merciful and forgiving, and has commanded me to light the lamp of wisdom for the world."

Shepard spoke slowly, and his voice was as warm as jade, which made people feel like listening to the teachings of the elders, and they felt admiration.

"By the glory and wisdom of our Lord, we cast out foreign gods, teach the world the mercy of our Lord, and then purify the spirits of the dead and hunt wild beasts, so that the people of the kingdom may live in peace......

He recounted the important events of the past twenty years, and everyone listened respectfully, until Shepard paused for a moment and said calmly: "In the name of the divine and the light, Vivadar, you come forward. ”

The adult son of God, the demigod Vivadar, who was born with the priesthood of [power], his appearance is like the most perfect perfection that a human being can achieve, even the already handsome His Majesty the Pope cannot compare to him, and he has a natural self-confidence and amazing majesty, which makes everyone who sees him feel respected.

But in the presence of His Majesty the Pope, the proud and confident Son of God bowed his head highly, because the Pope was the embodiment of his Father, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty. ”

"The glory of my Lord shines on me, and today is the day when I return to the arms of my Lord, and the kingdom of my Lord has opened its gates to welcome me, Vivadar, and from this day you are Lord of the Kingdom of Dawn."

Shepard took off the crown of gold and silver, set with gems and pearls, and placed it on Vivadar's head.

Before the Holy Son could react from the ecstasy, Shepard had already made a move: "Othello, come here." ”

As the blood uncle of the Holy Son, Othello didn't care about the expression of his king's nephew on the side, he just walked up to Shepard humbly and respectfully, and saluted: "Your Majesty, Othello will always be your loyal follower. ”

"We are all godly servants of my lord." Shepard smiled lightly, and under the gaze of many cardinals and bishops, handed the scepter representing divine power in his hand to Othello: "You will take the scepter in my place, Othello, this is the will of my lord, remember your identity and duty, my dear friend. ”

Othello reverently took the scepter and whispered, "Yes, the light is with you, Your Majesty." ”

"The light has accepted me." Shepard smiled.

It was as if another sun suddenly appeared in the sky, and the dazzling white light was like a portal to the sky, and when you looked up from the ground, you would feel that the incomparably majestic giant gate of light appeared in the sky, and the loud chant resounded between heaven and earth from small to large.

The purest pillar of divine light shone through the gate, enveloping Shepard, and eighteen handsome angels, half male and half female, pushed open the gate of the giant gate of light, and they waved their white wings that seemed to condense all the good and beauty behind them, and descended on Shepard in the shocked gaze of the believers all over the city.

The two male and female angels in front saluted slightly, and the crisp and melodious beautiful song sounded, under the leadership of the two of them, eighteen celestial gods who believed in the god of light sang in unison, and no one could understand the song of the celestial language, but it did not prevent all those who heard it from feeling that the filth and uncleanness in their hearts were purified by the song.

Shepard raised his hands slightly, and an infinite amount of light bloomed from within him, and this light enveloped him, and then enveloped the eighteen celestial gods around him, and then this light was no different from the pillar of light that fell from the giant gate of light, and the sound of the chant resounded between heaven and earth.

It wasn't until the singing stopped that the onlookers, including Vivadar, suddenly realized that Shepard, the Angels, and the Gate of Light had all vanished, leaving only the devotees who were devout and fanatical in their shouting of the name of the God of Light.

It is the 20th year of the Bright Calendar, the only Pope of the Church of Light Shepard was called by God to return to the Kingdom of God, the throne of the Kingdom of Dawn was handed over to His Majesty the Son of God Vivadar, and the Church of Light was headed by Othello, and after March, the Church announced the abolition of the papal title and the restoration of the title of Pope, and Othello was Pope Othello I.

Kingship and divine power have since been separated.
