Chapter 370, The Rite of Succession of the Holy Maiden
"You mean, Naranamo may be the murderer of the Holy Female Candidate???" said Jeruth in disbelief, First Son! Naranamo! If it is really the murderer of the Holy Female Candidate, this is a big deal! If the evidence is conclusive, his position as First Son will not be guaranteed!
Du Lei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure that he killed someone, because there was a black shadow at that time, and I couldn't catch up, but I can be sure that the white shadow I saw that night was Nalanamo!
"Then it is strange, we saw him go out of the city that day, how did he appear on the holy mountain? There must be a very big secret in this!" said Jerusus, puzzled.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, the Holy Maiden's Inheritance Ceremony will start tomorrow morning, and we don't have enough time to investigate this matter, so I think it's better to let it go for now. The old godfather listened to the conversation between the two, and did not speak, and finally spoke.
Du Lei looked at the old godfather, and really didn't think it was reliable for the people around Jerusus, Yelusu seemed to understand what Du Lei was thinking, and said, "The godfather is the only person I trust, Brother Du Lei doesn't have to doubt it!"
Tomorrow is the inheritance ceremony of the Holy Maiden, Du Lei is lying on the bed, tossing and turning, according to the secret revealed by Jerusus, I am afraid that if there are no other problems with the inheritance ceremony, the position of the Holy Maiden will definitely be Peggy! Because her physique is the purest body that is most in line with the power of the Holy Maiden! This is also why Du Lei wondered why Peggy did not have a deep belief in the God of Light, why she was still chosen as the first holy woman! Because this has nothing to do with faith at all! It is completely a matter of relying on her physique! Even if you believe in the dark god, as long as you have the right physique, you can make the inheritance ceremony complete!
"Who!?" A black shadow appeared outside the window, Du Lei looked at it intently, and immediately chased after it!
The more I chased Du Lei, the more familiar I felt that the other party was very familiar! He was the black shadow that night! If we could catch him! We should be able to know what happened on the Holy Mountain that night!
After chasing a few streets, the other party stayed in the shadows on the side, as if waiting for Du Lei, "Who are you!" Du Lei looked at the other party and asked with a frown.
The other party did not move, nor did he speak, "Who killed the candidate saint candidate that night? Is it you? or the man in white?"
The other party still did not respond.
"Meow!" Mao Xiaobai flew over with lightning flashing all over his body, and the other party seemed to merge with the darkness in an instant, and he couldn't find the other party anymore. The thunder and lightning flashed around Mao Xiaobai's body, illuminating the darkness, but there was still no trace! "Meow?" What about people?
"What's wrong? What happened?" Yelusu gasped and ran over, just found that Du Lei rushed out of the room, Yelusu also hurried over, for fear that something would happen to Du Lei, and it would be difficult to be framed and arrested in the Punishment Knight's Palace!
Du Lei shook his head and said, "It's the man in black that night, and he disappeared again." ”
"Disappeared?" Jerusus, disbelieving, stepped forward to look around, but found no trace, "Alright, let's go back, in case we are seen by the patrol again, and explain again." ”
Du Lei picked up Mao Xiaobai, there are many magical powers in this world, such as Yue Lan'er's deception magic technique! The other party must have some special ability, otherwise it is impossible to disappear from his eyes like this!
After Du Lei and Jerus left, in the back of the corner of the wall, a black figure slowly appeared, looking at the departing Du Lei, and then quietly disappeared into the night.
Today, the people of the Holy City are pouring into the streets, converging at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and the ceremony of the succession of the Holy Maiden is almost as grand as the coronation of the Pope!
Because of the relationship with Jerusus, Du Lei became one of the few people who made an exception to go up to the Holy Mountain and watch the inheritance ceremony of the Holy Maiden up close!
"The Succession Ceremony is about to begin, please keep quiet, during the ceremony, no one is allowed to move around at will, interfere with the ceremony, violators will be placed in the Holy See's Punishment Knight's Hall of Arrest Warrant!" Bishop Gabriel, the head of the four cardinals, announced to the crowd.
The old saint wore a white robe and slowly walked out of the holy hall, followed by seven candidate saints who were also wearing white robes, each candidate saint was a virgin no more than twenty years old, and after thousands of selections, ten would finally enter the final inheritance ceremony!
However, because of the previous incident, there are only seven out of ten candidates!
"The position of the Holy Maiden represents the highest title of all the nuns who believe in the God of Light on the mainland, and represents the messenger of communication between the nuns and the gods, but even if the divine envoys are old, today our Holy See selects the best nuns, and there will be one who will inherit the position of the Holy Maiden! The will of the Lord will guide the new holy woman to lead the nuns to coexist with the light!" said the old saint to the statue of the god of light on the top of the mountain.
In front of the Papal Palace, the Pope, wearing a crown on his head, wearing a golden robe, and a staff of light in his hand, nodded slightly.
"Candidate for the throne, the ceremony is about to begin!" declared the Patriarch Gabriel.
Seven girls came to the central square between the Papal Palace and the Holy Maiden's Temple, looking up and facing the eighteen-winged statue of the God of Light, holding the silver cross on their chests in their hands, Peggy turned her head slightly, looked at Du Lei on the side of Jerusus, and opened her hands slightly, holding not only the cross, but also the heart-shaped kernel!
The four cardinal archbishops stepped forward, and after the saint knelt and prayed, she slowly stood up, the scepter in her hand exuded a bright white light, and slowly rose, the four cardinal archbishops glanced at each other, and at the same time stretched out their hands, the wand in their hands emitted a strong element of light, and the four pillars of light shot towards the scepter in mid-air!
"Wow!" The scepter was like a huge ball of light, and a ray of light shot straight into the eighteen-winged God of Light statue! The white statue began to emit a rich light, and even the surrounding air began to twist and tremble, and to outsiders, it seemed as if the statue had come to life! All the believers under the holy mountain knelt down one after another, shouting "The God of Light has descended!"
After all the light power on the scepter shot towards the eighteen-winged statue of the god of light, a circle of light rose above the statue of the god of light! The wings behind it emitted points of light, and suddenly, from the holy book in the left hand of the god of light, a series of magical symbols emerged! No one could understand it! Du Lei frowned, this kind of symbol always feels weird, right! The core of the mountain giant! The symbol that lit up on the core at the beginning! It seems to be of the same type as this symbol! Although it is not the same, Du Lei can be sure that this must be the same kind of thing!
