Chapter 85: Baptism of the Saints (2)

Rooney looked at the many fanatical Church of Light believers along the way, and only then did he deeply feel that the influence and control of the Church of Light in various countries, if it was said before, these things had nothing to do with him, and he started his family with the help of a lot of Light Church forces.

But now it's different, he's the king of the Golden Rose Kingdom, and as a monarch, he definitely doesn't want to have such an existence on his head, controlling himself at will, and even the inheritance and coronation of the throne are controlled by the Church of Light.

However, the Church of Light is so powerful that all countries cannot resist it, so they can only acquiesce, in this case, the influence of the Church of Light among the people is still so great, isn't he, the king, completely a puppet?

"Church of Light."

Rooney sat on the carriage, silently chanting the name, closed his eyes, this saint baptism ceremony, I heard that the gods will tell the Church of Light the way to master the power of God, called magic, in this way, the power of the Church of Light will expand again, like this, a few years later, is there still room for these kings and nobles to live?

Rooney felt deeply worried, sitting in different positions, standing at different heights, and thinking and thinking would also change completely, Rooney had developed a strong sense of jealousy and disgust towards the Church of Light on the way to the city of St. Sal, the Church of Light.

At this moment, the battle for the choice list of saints in the city of St. Sal has been declared over, there are winners, there are losers, in this open and secret battle, it is also a reshuffle of the upper echelons of the Church of Light, many people in this struggle declared defeat, choose to step down or release.

As the baptism and New Year approach, the whole city of Santa Sal is lit up with a carnival flavor, and the main hall of the Temple of Light, up to the staircase hundreds of steps outside, and the large square below, are filled with prayerful worshippers.

Since half a month ago, the prayer ceremony has begun, not only the clergy of the church, but also the believers of the entire city of St. Sal, will go here to pray, a large number of people from the height of the temple at a glance, there is no end in sight, but so many people, without the slightest sound, as if there is a mysterious smell permeating the entire city of St. Sal.

The music resounded throughout the temple, and the holy hymns never stopped, and within a radius of several miles, it seemed that it had truly become the heavenly kingdom on earth and the paradise on earth in people's imagination, and those who bowed down here to pray seemed to be able to feel the light of God shining on their bodies.

Even at night, the entire temple and the square, as well as all the nearby roads, were lit up, and the devotees were reluctant to leave, and the solemn and tranquil smell became more and more intense, so that many guests who hurried to Saint-Saar's could feel this power.

When Rooney hurried to the city of St. Sal, he left the cavalry outside, and only led a few guards into the city, and under the arrangement of a receiving black-clothed priest, Rooney immediately expressed his hope to meet the legendary Pope Hodp and His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, but the black-clothed priest told and waited for the next day's summons from Pope Hodepp of the Church of Light.

Although the black-clothed priesthood is more polite, and there is no problem with the accommodation and etiquette, this still makes Rooney feel extremely humiliated, he is a king, the head of the royal family who controls a country, and he has traveled thousands of miles to come here to wait for the canonization and coronation of the Church of Light, so that he can be regarded as a real king.

And when he arrived here, he couldn't immediately meet Pope Hodp, and what received him was a small black-clothed sacrifice, which made him, who had just ascended the throne, arrogant and complacent, suffer a major blow.

It turned out that for the Church of Light, his status as a king was nothing more than that, and he didn't get any attention at all, and after this kind of self-confidence in his identity, when he found that the situation was completely reversed here, that strong sense of humiliation suddenly surged into Rooney's heart.

Rooney wanted to turn around and leave at that time, but the chaotic situation in the country, and many nobles who were dissatisfied with him, Rooney needed to use the power of the Church of Light to help him stabilize the situation, which Rooney knew very well, reason was controlling his actions, but the dissatisfaction in his heart had already been planted.

"Maybe I should try to meet with the people who contacted me before."

---------

Pope Hodep sat in the hall of the spacious temple and received a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale face, this is the nephew of the Iliad VII, now the emperor of the Cretan Empire, the Iliad VIII, when he inherited the throne, the Iliad VIII was just a delicate young man, and now he has gradually entered middle age, looking very old.

Compared with his uncle, the Iliad VIII, the Iliad VII was slightly less courageous, brave and unscrupulous, and could be said to be useless, even if the Iliad VII was ousted from power by the Church of Light and hanged in public, it would not be his turn to be the emperor.

However, at that time, Pope Hodp fell in love with him at a glance, and in the midst of the protests and rebellions of the nobles of the Cretan Empire, he supported him to become emperor with iron and blood, and only then did he start the war on the rise of the Church of Light.

If he loses the support of the Church of Light, Iliad VIII will not be able to sit firmly in his current position, once he loses power, countless people will want to pull him down from that position, and Iliad VIII also understands his ability and ability, he and the Church of Light are one, and he always hugs the thigh of the Church of Light.

"His Majesty the Emperor heard that his health has not been very good recently, oh, this is not good news, you are still a young man, unlike my old bones, you must pay attention to your body."

The Pope held his scepter and sat down in the back hall with the Iliad VIII in his daily meeting etiquette, and the Iliad VIII and Hodepp were also very familiar: "There is no problem, the weather is cold, it is snowing heavily in the north, and the old problems are committed again." ”

The Iliad VIII looked left and right, and then cautiously said to Hodepp: "Has His Majesty the Pope heard some news lately?" ”

Hodep glanced at the Iliad VIII: "What news?" ”

The Iliad whispered, "The Council of Nobles." ”

Hodepp laughed: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you don't have to be too careful, are you taking it now?" St. Sal City in the Church of Light Country, in the Temple of Light, this is a place belonging to the Church of Light, no enemy can infiltrate here, and we, the Church of Light, will definitely not be afraid of those small characters hiding in the dark corners. ”

"The Council of Nobles, of course I've heard of it, I have already sent people to investigate them when they were just formed, although it is not clear exactly who they are made of, but we definitely don't take these guys seriously, I will let them know that the power of the gods is unstoppable."
