Chapter 86: The Baptism of the Saints (3)

"Of course, Mary is crowned, and no one can escape the judgment of the gods, and those who oppose the gods will be punished." The Iliad VIII was also a devout member of the Church of Light, not to mention his current relationship with the Church of Light, and in front of him stood the Pope of the Church of Light, who immediately expressed his attitude to Pope Hodep.

At this time, a young and delicate priest outside the door walked in, whispered a few words beside Pope Hodep, and then handed a note to Hodep's hand, and the Pope immediately looked at Iliad VIII: "Oh, what a coincidence, I just received a message that happens to be related to the topic we just talked about, and His Majesty the Emperor should be very interested. ”

Iliad VIII's eyes showed doubt: "Can you allow me to know?" ”

Hodepp nodded: "Of course, continuing the topic I just said, this noble council, I heard that the original initiator was a certain big nobleman of the Cretan Empire, and many of the people in it are your vassals, but now I heard that the people of this noble council are planning a conspiracy, and the target is you, His Majesty Iliad VIII." ”

Hodeck placed the note on the table: "This is the assassin they planted next to you, and it is expected that tomorrow night, they will do it." ”

The Iliad VIII took the note on the table suspiciously, and the expression on his face immediately changed drastically, and the name written on it was his lover who had been friends for several years, and when he went to attend the Church of Light this time, he also took it with him: "What? They? How dare they? ”

The lover who has been in a relationship with him for several years and has won his trust is actually someone else's assassin, and the key point of murder of himself makes Iliad VIII furious, and the matters between his privacy as emperor and the bottom of the bed are probably under the surveillance of these people at any time.

Thinking of these ghosts in the shadows, staring at him all the time, Iliad VIII felt ashamed and deeply frightened, these guys probably began to plan this matter years ago.

Hodepp sneered: "Of course they dare, they are going to launch this conspiracy in the city of St. Sal, assassinate you, the great Iliad VIII, and then blame your death on our Church of Light, launch a rebellion throughout the Cretan Empire, and snatch the throne that originally belonged to you and should belong to your son in the future." ”

The Iliad VIII looked at Pope Hodp: "Your Majesty, you should never allow this to happen, right?" ”

Hodepu nodded immediately: "Of course, this kind of dirty and despicable conspiracy will not be tolerated by any person who has a heart for the glory of the gods, not to mention, the assassination is still a good emperor who is wise and merciful to the people, your safety, I will immediately dispatch the elite of the Knights of Light Legion to guard, of course, please cooperate with us, this time we not only want to catch all these rats in the gutter, but also have to find the master behind them." ”

Hodp looked at the Iliad VIII: "Of course, heroes will also be sad about the beauty pass, and everything is up to Your Majesty." ”

Although the Iliad VIII has a relatively soft personality, when his life is endangered, he still suddenly relents, and his expression becomes indifferent: "It doesn't matter, as His Majesty the Pope said, this time we must catch all the rats in the gutter, as well as this noble council." ”

The Iliad VIII never imagined that this noble council would actually use the idea of assassinating himself and fighting for control of the Cretan Empire, which really wanted his own life, the Iliad originally only regarded this noble council as a threat, but now, it is an undying enemy, they not only want his life, but also the throne under him, which he will never give up.

Hodeep and Iliad VIII went on to talk about other topics, and although neither of them had further discussed the issues above the noble council, they had reached an agreement that the Iliad VIII needed the support of the Church of Light, and Hodep wanted to see the Iliad VIII move closer to him.

The meeting ended in just an hour, and Pope Hodep met with several archdukes and a king and the Tutan envoys, and ended his work after a busy day.

The affairs of the Council of Nobles, for Crete, may be a major event that endangers his life and the throne, but for Hodeck, it is not worth paying too much attention, and the most important thing in the entire Church of Light at present is, of course, the baptism of saints on January 1st.

In addition, there is nothing that deserves the attention of his dignified pope, ten years in the holy calendar, it will be eleven years in the holy calendar, Hodepu has been on the throne of the pope, and it has been eight years, ten years, Hodepu is no longer young, he looks extremely old, his eyes have become cloudy, and he has no spiritual head and strength to ride on a horse and run for several days.

The closer he got to death, the more devout Hodeck's belief in the gods became, and the more convinced he was that after his death, he would be able to ascend to the kingdom of God, and become an apostle of the gods in the kingdom of heaven.

And this baptism ceremony is an opportunity for Hodepp, death is inevitable, there is no need to fear, but to be able to live for a longer period of time, become a living saint, spread the gospel of the gods, is what Hodep desires, Hodep has looked at heaven in his dreams countless times, he is extremely envious of the saint, to be able to become a god, God's eyes are always on her body.

That envy mixed with jealousy, until when the saint was summoned by the gods again and received the mask under the crown of Pharos, it exploded to the top, and he also longed for the attention of the gods, longing for divine revelation and the teaching of divine magic, even if it cost everything, as long as he could see the side of the gods, Hodep was willing.

After Hodepp finished his duties as Pope, he immediately changed into the most modest gray robes and went to the main hall of the Temple of Light, where the praise and ritual had begun, the back of the temple was full of clergy, and white robes could be seen everywhere on the steps below.

These priests are selected from childhood, the daughters of the chosen believers' families, accompanied by the gods, all beings serve the gods, after the arrival of the saints, all the priests are transferred to the name of the saints, and the saints are responsible for management, and the sacrifices and rituals of the temple of light are all controlled by the blood of the gods, the saints.

Hodepp came to the statue, crossed his hands, made a prayer gesture, and knelt down under the statue of the god.
