Previous Chapter: Chapter 57 A Turning Point in Life

When little Howard awoke, he found himself lying in a clean, bright room, with a large, comfortable and soft bed filled with feathers and cotton flowers, surrounded by precious textiles and works of art that he had never imagined in his life, and the walls and ceiling walls were carved with reliefs of angels. （hua。 For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:ww.

Am I dreaming or am I in heaven? If I'm in heaven, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to die.

Little Howard was thinking in his heart, he couldn't believe that he was still alive in reality.

In order to confirm his thoughts, he raised his left hand, and after his gaze stayed on it for two seconds, he handed it to the corner of his mouth, and then bit down on his hand.

"Ouch!"

Biting your own hand, the result can be imagined.

Unexpectedly, little Howard's snort of pain caused a burst of exclamations next to him.

He ...... He's awake!"

"Then what are you doing? Your Highness is in my care. ”

Howard was startled, he didn't expect there to be someone next to him. When he turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice was turning, he found that two or three meters away from the 'bed' stood two young nuns who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, one of whom nodded submissively, then opened the 'door' and ran out in three steps and two steps.

"Sister, what the hell is this...... Uh!" Howard wanted to sit up from the bed, he had a lot of questions to ask the rest of the nun, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain came from the right 'chest'. Howard looked over at his body, only to see that his upper body was unclothed, and the part that had been pierced by the necromancer's long whip was wrapped in several layers of tight gauze.

"Your Highness, please don't move!" the nun was frightened, and she rushed to the bed, holding Howard's arm with one hand and his back with the other, so that the child could lie down peacefully again.

"Your Highness, you have been in a coma for seven days and seven nights, and your body is very weak, and if you move casually, it will only rupture your wounds. "The nuns are very caring.

This mouthful of "Your Highness" made Howard a little 'confused' and 'confused': "I'm not Your Highness, sister, did you recognize the wrong person?"

The nun didn't expect Howard to suddenly say this, so she paused on the spot, and then laughed "poof". She explained softly, "Of course, 'Your Highness' is you. Your status is honorable, and it is only natural that we call you 'Your Highness'. ”

This time, Howard was even more in a fog, and he was even more sure that the other party recognized the wrong person: "But my name is not 'Your Highness', I am Howard." [hua. update fast,The website page is refreshing,There are few ads,,I like this kind of website the most.,Be sure to praise]"

The nun was continuing to explain, and a very majestic man's voice came from outside the door: "Of course she didn't recognize the wrong person. Your Highness Howard, they call you that. ”

Immediately, the nun who had just left led a senior priest into the room, followed by two priests.

I saw that the senior pastor was about thirty or forty years old, with a straight figure and a majestic spirit, although his appearance belonged to the kind that was not very memorable, but he exuded a noble temperament from top to bottom, which made people awe-inspired.

"Hello Grand Cardinal. The nun who was in charge of Howard's care greeted the senior priest respectfully, and then consciously stepped aside.

The senior priest came to the bedside and scanned Howard's condition from top to bottom, and then said to the others, "You guys, please stay away for a moment, I have something to say to Your Highness." ”

"Yes. "Yes. ”

The two priests and the two nuns were ordered to leave the room and closed the door.

"Kid, I know you have a lot to say. Don't rush just yet, let me explain it to you one by one. The senior priest removed his scept, and with a loving smile on his face, he grabbed Howard's hands.

From the hands of the senior priest, there was a comfortable warmth that made Howard feel extra safe and trustworthy. So he really didn't speak, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.

"First of all, you should want to ask where you are now. This is the territory of the God of Light, the Central Church. Child, you are now in the heart of the Central Church, the Temple of Light. ”

If there is any difference between the two, it is that the original Temple of Light is more magnificent, and the current Papal Temple has shrunk by at least one-third, because in the 500 years after the Pope was completely in power during the civil war, the part that was originally used for the life and homework of the Holy 'Women' Department was demolished little by little. The remaining vacant land became the site for the construction of the Tower of the Seven Sins, and the materials that were demolished eventually became part of the Tower of the Seven Sins. Of course, young Howard didn't know about this qiē, and he couldn't predict what would happen in the next few hundred years.

"And then, it's about who I am. My name is Gregory, and the priesthood is the Grand Cardinal. Strictly speaking, the Grand Cardinal is a temporary priesthood, and only when it is inconvenient for His Holiness to carry out the holy affairs, will the position of 'Grand Cardinal' be used as an assistant and advisor to the Pope to assist the Pope in the administration of holy affairs. The senior pastor continued.

This is the most formal explanation, but it seems too difficult for a child from humble backgrounds to understand, but Howard can probably think that it is a lord in a very high position in the Holy See, but there is one thing that Howard hears very clearly, and that is the name of the Grand Cardinal, Gregory. He quickly remembered that it was one of the two names he had heard before he lost consciousness. This also rekindled the 'shadow' in Howard's mind, the fear of the necromancer's attack, and the tragic situation of the town.

"Ah......" Howard suddenly exclaimed, "Town, Town...... The necromancer, the wizard...... And Faria, Duros...... He, they ......"

Recalling that horrific scene, the child's face suddenly turned like earth.

"Don't be afraid, child. The nightmare is over. Grand Cardinal Gregory hurriedly poured a wave of light magic into Howard's body through his hands, "The necromancer Karlovin has been extinguished by the fire of divine judgment. Although the rest of the town can't be saved, the two children who were with you managed to save them, and now they are in the Central Church, very safe. ”

The magic of light and the words of the Grand Cardinal served to double reassure, and Howard's affection quickly calmed down. Although the tragic tragedy had caused heavy trauma to his young mind, he was still very happy to hear that the two little friends were okay.

"Thank you to God of Light. Howard couldn't help but draw a cross and give thanks to the Lord, as he had learned in the choir of a town church.

Looking at his slightly stiff, but very reverent, gesture of crossing, the Grand Cardinal smiled heartily, and he smiled and nodded approvingly.

"Grand Cardinal, I want to see Falaya and Duros, I have a lot to say to them. "Howard made his request for the first time.

"No, I can't. The Grand Cardinal shook his head with a little regret and refused.

"Why?"

"When the time comes, I'll arrange for you to meet with them, but not now. Because you have more responsibilities on your shoulders than anyone else, there are many more important things waiting for you to do. That's the third thing I'm going to tell you. ”

"More important things?"

"Yes. Starting today, Your Highness Howard, you must begin with the most basic sacraments, and you must learn how to be a pope in a limited number of years. And I, Gregory, will be your teacher myself. ”

"You want me to learn to be a pope!" Howard almost jumped to his feet in fright, confirming that he had misheard. It was the craziest thing he'd ever heard.

"Your Highness Howard probably doesn't know that you have been appointed as the next Pope's heir by the will of God in the Light. Gregory probably expected Howard to react like this, and explained with a smile.

"The Pope...... Heir of the Pope......? How is this possible!" Howard began to 'get confused' again, and he even wondered once again if he was in a dream, and actually wanted to bite his hand again.

"Your Highness, are you not aware of the state of your body at all, and think back to how you managed to save yourself and your companions from the necromancer's pursuit. ”

"I ......"

"It seems that His Highness is really unaware of the powerful power he possesses. Your Highness, you are a once-in-a-century 'Stigmata' who shares the same divine power as the Lord Messiah. At that time, if it weren't for the divine power of your 'stigma' that first severely damaged the necromancer Callowvan, our Holy Judgment Force would not have been able to wipe out that dangerous murderer so smoothly. ”

Looking at Amelia's extremely disbelieving look, the Lich King Callowan was not in a hurry, he seemed to have expected such a reaction from the other party.

"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, the Shumiro Empire has been destroyed for more than a thousand years. Whether you are the real Princess Krysta or not is actually irrelevant. What matters is another identity under that identity. ”

"Master, you mean that I was related to you before I was reincarnated?"

"That's right. I know that the Prince of Vampire has been searching for the whereabouts of his sister who was sent to the future plane for more than a thousand years, and I know that you are the sister he is looking for, but I have never told him. That's because my relationship with you is closer than the relationship between you and the Vampire Prince. We are closer to each other than any two people in the world. ”

"A relationship closer than any two people, and that's a one-person relationship. Emilia wasn't stupid, she heard the overtones, "Master, just tell me, I'm the same person as you." ”

Emilia uttered inferences that even she couldn't believe.

Unexpectedly, the Lich King admitted it on the spot.

"To be precise, a part of my soul is missing, and you are the one I am missing. This is all due to my mentor, Cardinal Gregory. ”
