"Thank you, Archbishop Jonathan."

Looking at the old and decrepit Jonathan, Li Changqing expressed sincere gratitude.

This is by no means a hypocritical polite remark, at the cost of his life, he gave such a huge force to himself, and it is difficult to describe it with just a word of thanks.

Jonathan obviously lost his strength and almost fell to the side, but fortunately, Li Changqing hurriedly supported him.

Jonathan had had mana protection before, and he had never felt it before, but now, he really felt the destructive power of time on a person.

He couldn't lift the slightest strength all over his body, he was soft, and it was quite difficult to exert his strength.

And a strong heavy drowsiness hits.

"No thanks." Jonathan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and looked back on his life.

About 80 years ago, he, like Li Changqing and others today, participated in the election of the archbishop.

At that time, he was only a staunch believer in the Cross Church, but he never imagined that he would become a high archbishop.

At that time, Jonathan was not a popular candidate, and there were many people who were better than him.

But in the end, the previous archbishop chose him.

At that time, Jonathan was puzzled, and the previous archbishop only said: "The conditions for an archbishop do not need to be very talented, as long as you receive the Dafa of Gong transmission, you can become one of the best masters in the world in a short period of time." ”

"It's character that matters."

The history of the Crucifixion has been marked by many upheavals and divisions, and even many archbishops have been leaders in encouraging divisions.

Not everyone is a qualified leader.

This is especially true for people with high talents.

And Li Changqing in front of him, at least judging from what he has seen at the moment, although there are small flaws, but on the whole, he can find the best heir. ”

"What's more, there is the endorsement of God's will."

"Edward, I'm finally going to see God, and I have a lot of questions that I want to know from God for myself."

"This day has finally arrived."

Death is not too frightening for the doctrine of the Cross Church.

According to the understanding of death in the Crucifixion, as long as you do good deeds and accumulate virtue in your life, after death, you will ascend to heaven and become God's right-hand man.

Jonathan has an infinite longing for God, and he has no attachment to the yang world.

Close your eyes slowly.

Holding Jonathan's corpse, Li Changqing also had an indescribable feeling, wanting to say something, but it was difficult to say anything.

Picking up the body, he opened the iron door.

Outside the door, anxious Dirawy, Sipa and many other bishops waited to see him come out.

And still holding Jonathan's body, all understand what happened.

In the crowd, there was no rush to show loyalty for a while.

After all, Jonathan had led the Crucifixion for nearly seventy or eighty years, and how could these people have no affection for him.

"Archbishop."

The atmosphere of the scene was slightly gloomy.

Li Changqing spoke slowly, his voice calm: "This is a good thing, Archbishop Jonathan has already gone to see God, and he will definitely be by God's side in the future." ”

Those present nodded slowly.

They all believed in the existence of God, and Li Changqing's words also diluted some of their sorrow for Jonathan's death.

At this time, Diravi took the lead in half-kneeling and saluting: "In the lower bishop Dilawi, I have seen Archbishop Edward!" ”

"I've seen Archbishop Edward."

Everyone, kneel down in unison.

Diravi asked in a deep voice, "Archbishop Dilawi, how about I arrange a succession ceremony tomorrow?" ”

The day of the archbishop's succession to the throne will become an important holiday in the Church of the Cross for decades to come.

Li Changqing shook his head: "Archbishop Jonathan just died, so let's do his funeral first." ”

Dirawy then explained: "Archbishop Jonathan said before his death that after his death, everything should be simple and not too cumbersome. ”

Looking at the number of bishops in the secret passage, Li Changqing also felt a little emotion in his heart, and then said: "There should still be procedures, not too simple." ”

"Yes."

After saying these words, Li Changqing realized that he was hungry and hungry.

He asked Dilawi to quickly arrange a table of good wine and food, and after a meal, lay down on the bed and sleep beautifully.

Three days also made him feel tired.

……

The news of the death of the archbishop of the Crucifixion quickly swept through the entire Lamela empire.

Archbishop Jonathan is one of the best stars.

To some extent, in the hearts of the people, the status of the archbishop is second only to His Majesty the Emperor of the Lamela Empire.

Almost instantly, the headlines of major news newspapers published the news of Jonathan's death.

The TV program also became a large-scale commemorative event in an instant, and all TV stations broadcast the death of Archbishop Jonathan on a loop.

and many commemorations, or videos of Archbishop Jonathan's death.

When many believers heard the news, they took the cross and prayed, hoping that Archbishop Jonathan would serve God after he went to God's side.

This bombshell news, not only in the Lamela Empire, but even internationally, instantly blew up the sky.

At the same time, another problem arises.

After the news of Archbishop Jonathan's death was broadcast on a loop, many experts and scholars also began to discuss who would be the next archbishop's heir.

The news that Edward was designated as the heir before was not announced in the public eye after all.

It is only circulated in the circles of the powerful.

At this moment, there is a great deal of speculation that names many young and prominent bishops of the Church of the Cross as one of the candidates.

There are even underground gambling houses that are therefore ready to open bets on who will be the new archbishop.

However, these underground gambling houses have not completely opened the plate, and they were stopped by the boss behind the scenes...

After all, the list of candidates they prepared did not have Edward.

Of course, there are already television stations that have begun to contact the Church of the Cross to prepare to broadcast the whole story of Archbishop Jonathan.

But it was rejected.

After all, Jonathan said before his death that everything was simple and he didn't want to make a big fuss.

These TV stations also immediately felt pity.

For such a blockbuster scene, if you can get the exclusive agency, the ratings at that time may have to go up to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Within the Locetti family.

In a small wine cellar.

The Duke of Locetti opened his treasure collection of red wine, and called Kelly, Shirakawa, Hu Xiong, and some of his own henchmen.

"Cheers."

"In memory of the death of my old friend, Archbishop Jonathan." Duke Locetti smiled: "At the same time, this cup is also a celebration for our Archbishop Edward. ”

The mood of the Duke of Locetti is very beautiful......

Kelly, Hu Xiong and Shirakawa are worried about one problem.

Li Changqing became the archbishop, and once he appeared, his identity was completely exposed on the side of the Strange Investigation Bureau.
