Chapter 499, The Future Promise

Hearing Xiao Yan's explanation, Henry's face turned slightly red, and the lady behind him gently pulled him to wake up quickly. The Grand Duke of Bavaria bowed slightly to Xiao Yan and said, "Thank you for your explanation, and if possible, please accept my donation." Being able to allow you to prove piety to me, to be able to feel the warmth of the Lord, makes it impossible for me to reciprocate in any other way. ”

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said, "There is no need to prove your piety, Grand Duke, don't use donations to prove this." Like you and your wife, I am confident that at some point in the future your title will be given the title of saint. ”

Henry's body shook suddenly, and the words spoken by the young voice in front of him made him unable to believe it, but looking at the strength of this strange priest just now, he couldn't help believing it.

Saint? Saint!

Not just any nobleman can enjoy this title, the higher the nobles in the world, the more difficult it is to get the title of saint, but now the person in front of him can actually be sure that Archduke Henry will be canonized in the future! Although this person's tone of voice was very flat, and there was no difference between talking about canonization and other household matters, it was this blandness that made Archduke Henry's heart beat many times faster than before.

"Please tell me your name, please let me see your face. Your words leave me in disbelief, but I can't help but believe them. I'm going to donate to you, and even a barony can't express the fear in my heart. ”

Bishop Goger, watching all this from the top of the building, couldn't help coughing and whispering, "Is he prophesying again?" ”

Quister looked at Xiao Yan's eyes with an almost fanatical gaze, and he whispered in admiration, "Yes. Praise the Lord. Mr. Fryman is prophesying again. He prophesied that we would face a saint. Amen, praise! ”

Bishop Gogel tapped the back of his left hand and said, "He gave Henry enough capital, so he also gained even greater capital, does it mean that he has made a new choice?" Henry? Archduke of Bavaria, Sylvester, did not appreciate the son of this 'strong debater'. ”

After a pause, the cardinal continued: "There is no coronation of the Pope. The emperor of the Holy Empire can only be the emperor, not the holy emperor. Unless, the fate of the Pope has changed? ”

At this point, Goggle stopped extrapolating and looked quietly downstairs. After a while, the cardinal turned to look at Quister and asked, "Quist, can I trust you?" ”

"Yes, my lord, you can trust it completely."

Xiao Yan didn't know what Gogger and Quister were talking about upstairs. After hearing Henry's statement, Mr. Stick shook his head slightly. "No, Grand Duke, as I said, donations do not prove your piety, on the contrary, you do so I will also get the smell of [profit] in my body, and I don't like that." ”

Looking at Henry's expression of disbelief, Xiao Yan continued: "But I must explain that becoming a saint is not an easy thing, and you must do three things that can prove you in order to get the true approval of the Lord. ”

Henry hurriedly asked, "Please tell me, what are the three things?" Do you want me to give alms or do you want me to do the whole flag? Or something else, please be sure to tell me the answer. ”

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "No, I can't tell you this, because I don't know what the proof the Lord needs is. Maybe it's the flames, or the feathers, or the dragon scales, and I don't know anything until the Lord speaks his voice. ”

After a pause, Xiao Yan said again: "Don't be discouraged, Grand Duke, I will pay attention to you, if the Lord has a new request, I will appear in front of you and tell you what the Lord wants you to do." ”

Henry put a cross on his chest and praised aloud: "Praise my Lord, praise my Father, praise all things." I should know that all this is the Lord's creation, the Lord's kindness. Surely I will not break my vows, nor will I lose my piety. ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, the Henry in front of him, the later Holy Emperor Henry II, had only one daughter Agatha in his life. In recognition of him, more than a hundred years later, Pope Eugene III proclaimed Henry a saint. This is also a rare emperor saint in history, as long as you have a little understanding of the thousand-year history of Europe, you will have a deep memory of this episode.

After performing the prophecy to Henry, Xiao Yan turned his head to look in the other direction, and the earl over there looked a little afraid.

"What are you afraid of?"

Xiao Yan asked bluntly, "Afraid that I will throw this flame on you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the flame in Xiao Yan's hand disappeared with a bang, and the sudden disappearance of the flame that was extremely beautiful and holy brought to everyone was so great that a voice of regret sounded in the entire hall.

Xiao Yan did not take the pity of the nobles and priests to heart, he looked at the earl, and said, "When you are afraid to touch this flame, instead of being grateful for it, you are already farther and farther away from piety. ”

Without waiting for the depressed earl to say anything, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Okay, everyone, I think what should be explained has been fully explained, and if you serve the Lord with your heart instead of simple money, the Lord will surely forgive your sins." ”

They all answered together: "Praise, Amen, my Lord! ”

The auction, which had been interrupted by the Count's revenge, was held again, and this time the nobles who had been granted access to the library were even more enthusiastic. With a Grand Duke by their side who may be canonized in the future, how will the reputation of these nobles be enhanced if they can be in the same circle with such a pious person?

"I hope to be able to buy all of this jewelry, because the money will be used to build a women's monastery. And the women's convent is exactly what the Lord has promised, and my practice can also please the Lord. ”

Standing in the middle of the library, Henry whispered to his wife, "Let me think about how much gold I would need to buy these jewels?" Lakh? Or more? But I'm also a little worried, dear Kangenda, will the Lord punish us for buying too much jewelry because we are too extravagant? ”

Princess Kangenda, who was standing beside him, replied in a low voice, "Weishenme, don't you ask the priest just now?" He will definitely give you more advice. Henry, Weishenme didn't invite that priest to the cathedral in Munich? In your capacity, it shouldn't be a problem to get a good ordination for that devout priest, or can we build a separate church for that devout priest in Munich? ”

Henry turned his head to look out the door, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, dear, that gentleman is not a member of the teaching staff. ”

Kangenda subconsciously covered her mouth, stared at her husband with wide eyes, and said, "My lord, are you telling the truth? A person who can use divine arts, and who can use high-level divine arts, is actually not a clergyman? ”

Henry smiled slightly and said, "Of course, my dear, I also have my own sources with the Holy See. If I'm not mistaken, the gentleman just now should be the one who had a lot of influence in Tosto some time ago. ”

"The Lord's walk on the earth?"

Henry nodded and said, "Of course, who else but him can make the Lord send down miracles?" Who else but him hears the voice of the Lord? It is said that the person was not recognized by the Holy See as a priest, and could only walk the continent in a secular capacity. Preach the gospel of the Lord to every sinful or godly person. You see, just now his voice was heard in the entire hall, almost all the nobles of the Holy Empire, and the voice of the Lord appeared through him in our ears. ”

Kongenda quickly drew a cross on his chest and said, "Oh my lord, praise! What a glory it is that we have come so close to hearing the gospel of the Lord. And the gentleman actually said that you will have the name of a saint, and if that gentleman is really what you call the Lord's walk on the earth, then his prophecy is......"

Henry smiled meaningfully, interrupted his wife's words, and whispered, "Don't guess the Lord's will, but here we need to pray and praise the Lord's voice." Praise! Amen. ”

"But don't you want to know who that gentleman is?"

"Emperor Bixia knows who he is, and Lelia knows who he is."

Henry looked at the jewelry elsewhere and said, "When he thinks I can know who he really is, he will definitely appear in front of me, and any meeting before that will put me and him in an awkward position." ”

Although Kangenda was only a princess of a small duchy, her political wisdom was not much weakened by this, and Henry's words sounded a little incompatible, but the Grand Duchess quickly understood the meaning of the sentence.

Knowing who the Lord's walking people on the earth were, such a thing could only be known to emperors and princesses in the world, except for the clergy. As the Grand Duke of Bavaria, rashly asking about the true identity of this person would be seen as a challenge by the emperor. And taking the initiative to reveal his identity to the Grand Duke of Bavaria would also be seen as a betrayal by the emperor. So Henry and the Lord's walk on the earth was very tacitly not continued, but saved the suspense for later.

The point is that this Lord's walk on the earth said that he would be present to Henry in times of need. If so......

Kangenda turned to look at her husband and whispered, "You know? ”

"I know, of course, I know."

Henry said calmly, but the spark of surprise in his eyes appeared from time to time, proving that his heart was far from being as calm as it appeared.

"If he were the Lord's walk on the earth, his words would surely be fulfilled, and I await that day to come."

"I've been waiting for that day to come." (To be continued......)
