Chapter 244: The Holy Maiden
readx;?“ It seems that the Templars really went to the Cullen Mountains to see the snow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Justin the Great muttered to himself upon learning that the Templars had returned from a training trip to the Cullen Mountains. He sat on his throne and almost scratched his hair, and he didn't understand what the hell was behind Dees Hepburn. The more Julius thought about it, the more uneasy he became, if Hepburn was really playing some conspiracy, it should be launched soon. It seems that the military power of the empire must be further strengthened in order to prepare for a crisis that may break out at any time, and the Bauhinia War has made people see the determination of the Holy See to advance northward, and he must not take it lightly, otherwise the status and glory of the Yus family will be in jeopardy.
Therefore, Julius the Great once again summoned the nobles from all over the country, especially those with fiefdoms on the southern border, to negotiate with them about further increasing the military power, including the Fabre family.
What shocked all forces on the continent even more was that a few days after the Templars returned from their training, that is, on December 8, 218 in the continental calendar, the Holy See suddenly announced that nine years after the death of the previous Holy Maiden, the Holy See had finally found a new Holy Maiden who met the requirements of the Holy Maiden.
The Holy Lady is a very special role in the Holy See, she is not even a position at all, but only a symbol. According to the Holy See, the Holy Maiden is the only human being who can communicate directly with the gods in heaven, so many times God's will is conveyed to the ears of believers through the Holy Maiden, and the words of the Holy Maiden are equivalent to the words of the gods to a certain extent, but the Holy Maiden does not have any right to meddle in secular things.
However, because there is no position of saint in the huge organizational structure of the Holy See, she is neither in politics nor in the military, and she rarely shows up in peacetime, only major ceremonies will appear, and at other times she will retreat in the Temple of Light to pray for the blessings of believers, of course, occasionally the saint will also patrol the territory of the church on behalf of the Holy See, bringing the glory and blessings of God to all beings. Therefore, the existence of the saint is the spokesperson of the gods who live high in the clouds, and the idol for thousands of believers to worship and worship.
However, it is this high position that determines that the Holy Maiden is one of the three giants in the Holy See, including the Pope and the Paladin.
Because the words of the Holy Maiden have a huge influence among the faithful believers, if you meet a pope with a low-key and mediocre style, the Holy Maiden will have more opportunities to show her head in the Holy See, but if you meet a Pope as powerful as Dis Hepburn, the Holy Maiden will almost be hidden, and her existence will become irrelevant.
Since the last saint was summoned to heaven by the god of light nine years ago, the Holy See has never found a human who has the ability to communicate with the gods to succeed her.
The Holy See has three requirements for saints, the first two are relatively simple: the first is that she must be a woman, the second is that she must be a virgin, and the most difficult is the third: to be able to communicate with the gods. And this article is said to have only one person in the entire continent who has the qualifications, and that is the next saint chosen by God.
Just when Thes Hepburn made a drastic move to expand the power of the Holy See, and everyone thought that the Holy See might have given up on finding the Holy Woman, the Holy See suddenly announced that a new Holy Woman had been found, which could not help but make the major forces on the mainland think crankily again, and also make the devout believers happy. Because in the hearts of true believers, the holy woman represents the will of God.
In the Holy See's announcement, the new saint is Jean Julien, who is nine years old this year, and was born in a coastal fishing village two hundred miles west of Winston, and has been a faithful believer in the God of Light for dozens of generations.
Jean Julian was born at midnight, there were no stars and no moon that night, but the sky was bright, especially at the moment when Jean was born, the sky seemed to open a door, and five colors of light gushed out from the door, dyeing the clouds in the sky in color. Outside the house where Jean was born, there were several angel figures with wings that glowed softly white and circled around the house, and a strange fragrance spread around the house, smelling it for miles and miles away, until a few days after Jean was born.
Jean Julian has the ability to communicate with the gods since he was a child, according to his parents, Jean was born to cry loudly, no matter what, no matter what, when the only priest in the village was invited to recite a prayer, Jean will appear next to Jean a transparent figure with wings, like an angel around the piano swirling and flying, Jean immediately stopped crying when he saw the angel's phantom, She smiled and began to play with the angel's phantom, but as soon as the prayer stopped, the figure disappeared, and Jean immediately began to cry again, and this state continued until Jean was three years old, so Jean's parents could only pray in her ear day and night in order to keep her from crying, so that the angel's phantom would stay with Jean until she fell asleep.
While the Templars entered the Kulen Mountains for training, a third major event occurred in the Hig Empire, far exceeding the previous two in terms of duration and scope.
This is a long story, and the cause can be traced back to the Bauhinia War, during the crucial battle of the fall of the dragon knight Gracis, although the Templars surrounded Higg's pursuers with heavy troops, but did not completely annihilate Higg's troops, at that time about 5,000 cavalry troops under the leadership of the great sword master Bols and the great mage Emaar broke out of the siege.
After breaking out of the siege, the unit fled all the way to the northeast, and took advantage of its familiarity with the terrain to successfully escape the cavalry of the Knights Templar in pursuit, and carried out a major repair in Lua, a larger city in the northeast of the Higg Empire, before preparing to continue north along the southern border of the Togolese hills and back to Triumph City.
However, before Bols could lead his army out, the news that Higg XIII had bowed to the Holy See reached the city of Lua, and at first Bols thought it was false news released by the Holy See to confuse and lower the confidence of his army and the people. Because even if the city of Baden without Glacys still has 40,000 elite soldiers, how can it be so easily breached.
But the news that came one after another, including the destruction of Baden, forced Bols to believe this cruel truth.
When the news reached that Higg XIII had agreed to be baptized by the Pope, Bols was holding a military council in the Great Horde. When he and his co-captain and group leader were discussing how to reverse Higg's defeat through a series of military operations, one of his heralds came to the account with a special envoy of Higg's military department with a letter.
The letter, stamped with the seal of the Imperial Military Department of the Higg, not only explained the circumstances of Higg's surrender, but also informed the Emperor of Bols Hisig that he would be baptized by the Pope, and informed Bols, as the Imperial General, to return to Triumph City immediately to participate in the ceremony.
