Chapter 155: Cyra's Actions
For the priests of Tyre, soaking up in the sun was itself a ritual of obedience to Tyre.
In order to achieve the best lighting effect, all churches above the district level are used with sanctified glazed tiles as tile roofs, so that sunlight can penetrate through the glazed tiles carved with intricate patterns, and the shadows form a large area of prayers on the ground, and with the change of the position of the sun, the prayers on the ground will also change from time to time.
And Frankfurt's domed cathedral can dispel the dark clouds above. Even though it was pouring rain throughout Bansa, it was still clear and cloudless over Frankfurt. But because of this, the afternoon at the temple can get quite hot. The early spring is fine, but when it comes to the middle of summer, just staying here and receiving the sun is a kind of practice.
Of course, for the average believer, it is impossible for them to be eligible to enter here in their lifetime. But during the time of the papal election, the twelve cardinals were not even allowed to leave.
This is a magic set up just in case. If the Pope betrays the gods, or if the Pope makes a mistake of a rather serious nature, then the twelve cardinals can be declared null and void and a new pope can be elected.
You know, counting the thirteenth bishop, which is only a fictitious bishop in most cases, the maximum number of cardinals is only thirteen, and it is not easy to gather twelve.
Unless the Pope is genuinely angry, the ritual cannot be completed if one person disagrees.
Moreover, even if the impeachment is successful, it does not mean that the Pope will be convicted or immediately removed. The Pope will be temporarily stripped of his authority and charisma, and will be placed under house arrest in front of the icon until the end of the ceremony.
And in a round of voting that takes place every three days. If, after four rounds, no one receives more than two-thirds of the votes, the new Pope is elected by the required majority. The former pope would then be reinstated.
But in that case, all the cardinals involved in the impeachment will certainly not end well. The more tolerant of the Pope. I won't be merciful at such times. Moreover, the Pope is chosen by the gods themselves, and if there is no plausible explanation at the end of the ceremony, the cardinals will definitely pay a terrible price for questioning the decision of the gods.
In fact, for the first time in millennia, this ritual has been used in the church of Tyre.
At this time, however, the Church of Tyre no longer had so much shy away from it - their gods could not be contacted, and the Pope had already confirmed his death. In this case, a new pope can only be chosen. Only then can we unite the power of all believers with authority to overcome the difficulties in front of us.
As the afternoon sun was shining, Cardinal Crieses knelt quietly in front of the icon of Tyre and prayed. The scorching sun shone on his body, and the lines of faint black shadows moved on the ground and on him at an extremely slow speed.
ββ¦β¦ So I chanted the holy name of Tyre in the midst of the people......"
As if sensing something, the withered and emaciated old bishop suddenly stopped praying.
At this moment, a generous and gentle voice came from behind him: "Bishop Crieses, good afternoon. β
"Good afternoon, Bishop Kasaka."
Chriss's voice was flat but slightly hoarse.
It seems to have been predicted. He didn't even look back to identify the person who came.
"I think I have good news for you, Bishop Chrisses," Cassaka said softly, "your nephew has passed the examination of the Pilgrimage Division. He became an official bishop. β
"Oh?"
Chrysses finally turned and stood up, his hoarse and dry voice tinged with a rare hint of joy: "Thank you for the good news...... Thanks to Tyre, Tix is a good boy. I think he's going to make a good bishop. β
Halfway through. The thin old man frowned slightly, and then asked Kasaka earnestly, "Bishop Kasaka." Do you know which parish Ticks is going to? β
"I was about to tell you about it. Bishop Crieses. β
"I got the news that the parish he was assigned to was the district of Derangi. β
ββ¦β¦ Oh no! No! It must be Ossaith playing tricks! Everybody knows. The Pilgrim Division is the one who has the final say! β
Bishop Krisses groaned almost in pain: "The uneducated barbarians will teach him badlyβTyre is on top!" What if the Frost Ghost attacks there? I'm sure Tix Jr. is a devout priest, but I don't think he's going to be a good fighter......"
"Don't panic, don't panic, Bishop Crieses."
Kasaka whispered as he took two steps closer to the old man, "The edict has not yet been issued. It's still too late, isn't it...... As long as the bishops of the other Pilgrimage Division offered to take up their posts there in Tix's place, even Cardinal Ossaith could not change all this. β
"But, will anyone go?" Bishop Chriss's tone was uncertain, "Although the Pilgrimage Division is a good place, the young bishops must prefer to be transferred to a more affluent diocese, so that they can collect more taxes, and only then will they have the funds to start the Pilgrimage...... And the district of Derangi is there......"
"You can't squeeze out a little oil and water, can you?"
Kasaka sighed bitterly, his voice lowering more and more, and leaned into Kryses' ear and said, "Coincidentally. My son is also in the Pilgrimage Division. I want him to experience more and see how ugly people can be, and how far they can hide their malice...... If you don't mind, let my son go to the Djeanry district for Tix. β
"Lord Kasaka, ...... you"
Krices took a deep breath: "Really...... I don't know how I can thank you enough......"
ββ¦β¦ Ah, I'm wondering about that too. β
Cassaka glanced at him and whispered a finger, just enough for Krisses to hear.
Bishop Krises' eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded slowly, his expression clear.
After Cassaka had left satisfied, Krisses slowly turned around and whispered to the icon, "Sure enough...... Everything is exactly as you say. β
"Now, Cardinal Chrises," said Cyra's voice from behind the icon, "do you still think that Bishop Kasaka has the integrity and integrity that a Pope must have?" β
Cyra walked slowly out from behind the icon: "Buying and selling the priesthood is a great sin. If His Majesty Jupiter IV had still been there, Cassaka would have already removed the Holy Order and entered the dungeon. β
"I'm sorry, Bishop Cylla......"
Chrisses bowed his head apologetically, "I shouldn't have doubted your words...... However, my nephew ......"
"I know, I know very well."
Cyra interrupted Chryses in a soft voice: "I'm not asking you to vote for me or not for Bishop of Cassaka - you can continue to vote for Bishop of Casaka, but I think this favor is only enough for one vote - you will only vote for Bishop Kasaka in the first round of voting, right?" β
"Ah...... Exactly. β
Chriss's eyes widened slightly, and he exclaimed, "That's right, that's right...... But in the first round of voting, Bishop Kasaka ......"
You know, you're not the only one he's found...... Nor was I the only one to be found. Not to mention ......"
Speaking of this, Cyra paused pointedly before continuing: "What's more, Bishop Ossaith's decision is not true and no one can change it. At least the Pope still has the right to transfer a bishop, you see. β
"You're right."
Cardinal Crises nodded convincingly. (To be continued.) )
