Now, on the main square of the holy city, where the divine messenger is about to descend, there is a sea of people, noisy voices are boiling and undulating, and bishops and nobles in full costume drive through the exclusive passageway, driving the four-wheeled luxury carriage through the crowd to the exclusive viewing platform.
The Apologists who maintained order were now miserable, with crowds and children running and playing, sincere believers chanting the Holy See Bible, gathering to bow down to the sun and pray every day.
At the same time, there were also vendors selling all kinds of small items and food, carrying their goods into the crowd regardless of the crowd, which exacerbated the crowded situation and made the work of the cathar infantry more difficult.
In the crowded crowd, there are also scolding and stolen wallets caused by being stepped on the surface of the foot from time to time.
The inhabitants of the Holy City, who watched the bustle of the city, stood on the rooftops or high platforms around the square with a sense of supreme superiority, scanning the crowd below with disdain, discussing with their companions with contempt the ugliness and dirty turtles of the hillbillies, mocking their stupid behavior and watching the show.
Around and inside the Holy City Square, the sounds of scolding, praying, shouting, and the barking of frightened dogs play out all kinds of life.
At this time, only the bronze bell on the large bell tower inside the summer palace of the Holy See in the center of the Holy City began to be rung next to the Holy City Square, and the thick and long bell full of historical vicissitudes resounded throughout the city.
"Knock~~~~~~~~~~~~knock~~~~~~~~~~~~knock~~~~~~~~~"
The sound of twelve bells in quick succession immediately woke up the envoys and nobles who were drowsy on the soft cushions, for the bell was the signal of the arrival of the oracle.
"It's coming, the Divine Messenger is coming!"
"Where, where!!"
"Go away, you've stepped on my foot!"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"
The believers below the stands were agitated, and they swarmed the line of cathar infantry, trying to get close to the open space in the middle of the square, covered with a precious red carpet, to get a glimpse of the appearance of the oracle, and among them, the barbarians in animal skins and naked upper bodies were the most conspicuous, and they were also crowded in the front.
In the face of the swarming crowd, the already impatient cathar infantry unceremoniously picked up sticks and beat them, and some officers scolded and whipped hard, and finally maintained order again.
Time passed little by little, and the crowded believers may not have paid attention, but the pope on the high platform was sweating like rain under the eyes of the envoys and nobles of the six kingdoms, and the twelve cardinals sitting on either side of the pope's position frequently turned their heads and looked at their pope with an inexplicable look in their eyes.
And those wizards who hide in the shadows and watch the play have already planned some kind of conspiracy in their hearts, intending to slap the face of the Holy See and make the high bishops and popes lose face and lose their majesty.
And at this moment, just when the anxious envoy of the kingdom stood up and was about to expose this farce that had lasted for several years, I don't know who shouted.
"Look!! What are those in heaven!! ”
Although this cry was faint, when the people who heard it looked up at the sky in the direction of their fingers, their exaggerated shouts and dancing performances made more believers raise their heads to look at the sky, and even many nobles with noble names couldn't help but stand up and step out of their parasols to look at the sky.
And the actions of these nobles happened to leave the actions of that envoy of the kingdom undetected.
Just after everyone looked up at the sky, a group of burning flames burst out of the sky, as if an object like a meteorite was discovered, the faithful knelt on the ground and worshipped, and the nobles raised their heads and stared at the sky in amazement, until the pope suddenly shouted.
"The Divine Messenger is Coming !!"
This shout completely aroused the emotions of the sincere believers, who fell to their knees in frenzy, prostrated five times and bowed nine times, tears of excitement falling from their eyes and falling to the ground, and muffled shouts and prayers came from their mouths because of the excitement.
However, the nobles, the sorcerers, and the inhabitants of the Holy City did not have the same attitude of faith in the Pope as the sincere believers who came all the way to the Holy City, and they were quite aware of the qualities of this Pope, greedy, petty, cautious, lustful, unscrupulous, and all the "virtues" of the slut were concentrated in his pot-bellied belly.
He was once overheard by someone who said bad things about him, and the next day he was branded as a heretic and burned at the stake in the square of the Holy City, and this person was still a minor nobleman of the Swadia kingdom. At that time, the pope's actions undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of the king of the Swadia Kingdom and all the nobles, although because of the supremacy of the Holy See, he could not make any moves against the Pope, but this undoubtedly greatly aggravated the dissatisfaction of the top brass of the Swadia Kingdom with the Holy See.
After all, no country would like an organization that has a legitimate army within its borders, even if it is the Holy See, and no aspiring and crisis-minded king will have a good opinion of this religious organization that weighs on their heads.
Therefore, for the group of suspected meteorites in the sky, the nobles and wizards were very dead when they found out that this thing was smashed towards the holy city, and the well-informed nobles and wizards knew quite well the huge power of the meteorite when it hit the ground - if the things in the sky that were suspected to be meteorites were really meteorites, the act of staying in place and watching them fall down was undoubtedly looking for death.
Just when the nobles beckoned to the private soldiers and the knights to prepare them to flee for their lives, and the wizards were desperately chanting spells, preparing to escape with magic, the heavenly thing smashed down at an unexpected speed, and then in their desperate eyes, when they were about to smash on the square, all the tails of the "meteorites" spewed out a huge tail flame, and after sliding their impact, they fell in the center of the square with a bang.
