Sensing Richelieu's arrival, Dudian's gaze gradually focused, withdrew from the empty ground, raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "How is the ceremony going?" ”

"It's in progress, nothing will go wrong, don't worry, my lord." Richelieu bowed his head and said humbly, and now that he had put down his identity and treated Dudian respectfully.

Du Dian nodded slightly, "When his succession ceremony is over, let him read the statement we prepared in advance." ”

"I will." Richelieu nodded.

Dudian slowly withdrew his gaze and lowered his gaze at the air on the ground, his thoughts drifting away again.

Richelieu peeked at him, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he immediately slowly retreated.

As the sun grew stronger and the ritual came to an end, Barton stood alone on the altar, facing the rushing gazes from all directions, nervous, but less embarrassed and less focused on the Bible in his hand.

This Bible is very thick, but where he opened it, there was another layer of paper, on which were the new words translated from the ancient words in the Bible by the ancient language teacher last night, and he had read through it twice last night.

No one knew that at such a solemn moment, the people on the stage who were reverently reciting the psalms full of fraternity were all thinking about not making mistakes.

After a while, when the Bible was finally finished, Barton breathed a sigh of relief and closed the Bible, only then did he feel that his hands were already a little stiff and struggling, and he glanced up at the front, and suddenly saw countless dense black heads, as well as the gazes of the extraordinary people in the front row, which seemed to see through everything and see through all his essence.

At this time, Richelieu led two old men dressed in snow-white robes to the stage, each holding a tray with the Pope's scepter and the Most Holy Crown. Richelieu had a solemn face and a steady walk, and approached Barton step by step.

The first time Patton saw such a serious pope, his heart jumped, and he was a little nervous, not knowing what to do.

Richelieu looked at the cowardice and crampedness in the eyes of this young man, and a burst of melancholy and sadness welled up in his heart, although this time the matter was carried out under the planning of Dudian, but he never thought that the person who replaced him as the new pope was such an immature teenager, he felt a little ashamed of the previous popes, and the mountain he once cherished.

After a moment of silence, Richelieu came to his senses as the preaching bell rang, put away the distractions in his mind, and handed Patton the scepter and the crown that had accompanied him for many years, as he spoke the eulogy and the entrusting ceremony.

Patton was wearing a white hat on his head, covering his black hair in it, and when Richelieu crowned him, he did not remove the white hat, but put it directly on it, although people with ulterior motives would find it a little strange to see this scene, but most people have not seen the pomp and circumstance of the Pope's succession, and they do not know the traditions of the Holy See of Light, so they do not pay much attention to it.

In the blink of an eye, Patton put on the magnificent and noble papal robes, and the crown that represented the most holy and true, and stood on the high altar with the scepter of divine authority bestowed by the God of Light in his hand, although his eyes were full of nervousness and unease, his dignity had already radiated, and the square emitted a tsunami-like cheer, which was transmitted like a wave.

Seeing this cheering and shouting, Barton gradually sprouted confidence in his heart, and an unprecedented experience.

Amid the cheers, Richelieu handed the scroll in his hand to Barton and whispered: "You are now the new Pope, you have just succeeded to the throne, according to the rules, you must state your views on the future of the Holy See of Light, and criticize the Holy See of Darkness, and when you are done, you should express your favor, these are all on this." ”

Barton was slightly stunned, came to his senses, and immediately put it away.

When the cheers were over, Barton coughed lightly, plucked up courage, opened the scroll, scanned it roughly, knew the general contents, and immediately recited it from the beginning.

Countless people in the square listened, and this is the main purpose of their visit today.

“…… I announce that from this day onwards, the Holy See of Light will halve the collection of asylum taxes everywhere! From now on, all impoverished towns and villages can apply to the Holy See for poverty alleviation......" Patton said in a rough voice, letting his words spread as far as possible, "The second point is that from today onwards, all criminals who disrupt the governance of the Holy See and humiliate the Holy See will be pardoned for five years......"

There was a thunderous cheer from the audience.

The military general sitting in the front row, the director of the inquisition, and the legendary knight of the knight's hall were dumbfounded, this first favor is too generous, isn't it, the asylum tax is halved, how much does this have to lose? At least it's worth the entire year's income of a consortium, right?!

As for the second clause, it was to their surprise that most popes would make a series of pardons to criminals as a sign of leniency when they succeeded to the throne.

"The third point, restore the identity of the legendary genius of the Elemental Temple 'Du Dian', Master Du Dian was framed by the Dark Holy See, after a detailed review, Master Du Dian's innocence has been clarified, and the identity of Master Du Dian will be restored from now on......" Barton read this, his heart was a little excited, Du Dian was completely blocked at the beginning, which made him very worried, but he didn't expect it to be unsealed now.

"Fourth, the slum poverty alleviation plan will be launched on the same day......"

In the blink of an eye, Barton said six in one breath, and finished the content in one breath before putting away the scroll.

The square was already full of thunderous applause and cheers.

In particular, the wealthy merchants, commoners, and others gathered at the outer edge of the square were thrilled from the bottom of their hearts, and among these six blessings, in addition to the reduction and exemption of the asylum tax, there were many other taxes, you know, these heavy taxes have always been a mountain pressing on them, but now they have been reduced by half, how can they not be excited and cheered?

Richelieu watched silently beside him, his eyes were a little complicated, he didn't know what Du Dian thought, he thought that Du Dian would take this opportunity to raise taxes in all aspects, squeeze the people clean, and gather all the wealth into his own hands, but he didn't expect that the latter was the opposite, instead of oppressing the civilians, but giving the civilians more opportunities and more help.

He didn't know whether it was good or bad for the Bright Sect to fall into the hands of Du Dian, a little devil, and at the same time he was a little ashamed that he was not as good as this insidious and vicious little ghost in this regard.

As for being a pope, I don't seem to be as qualified as him, shame!

When Kachi heard the words read out loud by Patton outside the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said respectfully to Dudian: "Young Master, your identity has finally been restored, and you can no longer hide it. ”

"The one who can save himself is still himself after all, and only himself." There was a hint of darkness in Dudian's dark eyes.
