There is no real wrong in this world, and there is no eternal right. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone is like a dancer walking on a tightrope, trying to keep alive and swaying from side to side.

...

This day is a turning point in history that later historians call the 'Day of the Holy Return'.

If the 'Day of Divine Punishment' heralds the birth of the Church of Divine Light, then the 'Day of Return' will symbolize the true rise of the Holy See!

At noon, the blazing sun turns Victory Square into a furnace, and the smooth and clean rocky floor is full of spectators.

The crowd was filled with the heat and the smell of sweat that the breeze would never blow away.

But even so, no one will leave at this time, everyone is desperately squeezing forward, hoping to find a better position.

It's not just Victory Square that is so crowded, it's the pilgrims from all over the kingdom who almost drown the huge city of Lydney!

The sheer number of believers paralyzed almost every street in Lidney.

A nobleman who had been invited to watch the ceremony sat in the carriage and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Even the groom and his attendant servants and guards froze in place.

No one would have imagined that a pope's coronation, which in their eyes did not mean much, would attract millions of faithful to the city!

In order to cope with the crowd, the royal family even allocated an army of 1,000 people to maintain order!

But these heavily armed soldiers were like a small boat in the waves of the ocean in the face of such a large number of believers.

In order to prevent the believers from squeezing into the palace, a soldier tried his best to feed, his neck was swollen, his sweat was raining, and even the hat on his head was squeezed down!

He swore it was the first time in his life that he had seen so many people gathered in a spectacular scene!

Oh, my God!

I can't imagine the terrible consequences of these people rioting in the city!

Hogg helped Nicole, and the two stood quietly on the balcony of the palace, looking at the fanatical believers in the city.

The founding queen looked into the distance with deep eyes and a pleasant and calm voice, "Tell me, what do you see?"

Hogg also stared at the sea of people in the distance, silent for a long time, "Fanatical believers, and..."

Seeing that her husband was reluctant to continue, Nicole pulled back the hair in her ears and picked up Hogg's unfinished words, "There is also a threat to the royal rule." ”

The palace steward walked behind the two of them at this time, holding a letter in his hand, and bent down slightly, "Your Majesty, there is an anonymous letter for you, and the coronation ceremony will begin in one hour." ”

Nicole walked into the room reflexively, although her expression remained unwavering, but the shock in her heart could not be receded.

Even though she had already thought about the number of believers that would be attracted to this day, the sense of crisis that came from her heart grew stronger when she saw the crowd of people that could not be seen at a glance.

In just six years since the establishment of the royal family, in terms of influence, it is not even one-tenth of the church!

Even on the day of her official coronation, there was never such a crazy populace!

But at this time, he could not help but regret it, and with the help of the power of the church, he quickly cut through the chaos and quickly established the Holy Beran Kingdom.

Today's church has become a giant tree rooted in the north!

In the north, any power that wants to compete with the Church has to weigh it in their hearts, even the royal family.

Thinking of the first pope who had disappeared for five years, if he was still in the north... I felt a chill in my heart.

Countless times she has been awakened in her sleep by the growing strength of the church.

She even dreamed that she was sent to the gallows by that person herself!

With that person's means, if he wants to ban the royal family with the church, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time.

But thankfully, the genius has fallen, and he is dead.

Otherwise, Nicole would not have dared to imagine how far the church would have developed today in the hands of that person!

Taking the letter from the court steward, Nicole nodded slightly, "I see." ”

The court steward bowed and left the room.

Hogg walked up behind Nicole, "Did you send it from the south?"

Tearing off the fire paint, Nicole opened the envelope, although it was only a few lines, but it made the queen who ruled a country stunned in place, because of the shock, her body seemed to lose support, and she took two steps back, and the letter paper slipped from her hand to the ground.

"It can't be!"

Hogg hugged Nicole and hurriedly relieved, "Don't get excited, what's going on?" After finishing speaking, he picked up the letter paper that had fallen on the ground.

When he saw the contents of the letter, his hair stood upside down!

That nightmare-like figure has returned at this time!

...

Even as Archbishop of Saint Yin, Moran, like Samieh, does not seem to have been invited to the coronation of the new pope.

Sitting on the pews of the Cathedral of Santa Lotta, time has left a lot of marks on Moran's face.

"Your Excellency, is it possible that at such an important moment, on behalf of the Holy Knights, you don't want to go to Lidney for the ceremony?"

Samiaeh stood in front of the huge cross, as always, his voice a little hoarse and emotionless, "But you're not going to participate, are you?"

Moran smiled, "I know very well what Theodore is thinking in his heart, if he is elected Pope, we will not have a good life." ”

With a slight pause, "How are you thinking about the plan for the Northwest Diocese to become independent? If I can get your..."

Before Moran could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Samier, "Your Excellency, I will not agree with such an idea that will cause a religious war, and if the Pope is here, he will certainly not agree with your plan. ”

As if with some regret, Moran got up from the bench and shook his head, "Originally, I thought you would have the same thoughts as me... But now it seems that it is a bit of a pity. ”

In the empty chapel, a faint echo makes the place even more deadly and silent.

Moran glanced up at the 'Holy Light Punishment' drawn on the top, sighed, and walked out of the door.

...

At this time in Lidney Cathedral, Frankie was sitting in his study, and the upcoming coronation of the Pope did not cause the slightest ripple in his face.

Reggie looked at his original top boss and felt slightly proud.

After today, when Lord Theodore becomes the Pope and the Holy See is reorganized, I am afraid that his position as archbishop should also be moved.

occupies the position of the central diocese, but has always been in opposition to the royal family, and deserves to end up like this.

Serving the Light?

If the Light is really that miraculous, how can the first pope explain it?

At least Reggie never believed in the Light.

With his hands behind his back, Reggie had a smile on his face and a flirtatious tone, "Let's go, Archbishop of the Holy Law, the coronation ceremony is about to begin." ”

Frankie raised his head and looked at the young man he had cultivated with one hand expressionlessly, a faint holy power appeared around his body, and his voice was cold, "Reggie, aren't you afraid of being punished by the holy light?"

Also stimulating the Holy Power, Reggie didn't care about it, "Punishment, it seems that His Excellency the Archbishop still hasn't seen the reality clearly, here, only those who hold power can represent the Holy Light!"

With a disdainful look in his eyes, "A pedantic believer like you should have been purged from the ranks of the archbishop a long time ago! Don't talk nonsense, those adults have already arrived in the square, you shouldn't hurry." ”

Frankie forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, if it weren't for the fear, he really wanted to purify this heresy now!

Closing the book in his hand and slamming it on the table, Frankie snorted coldly and left his study first.

Reggie looked at the back of Frankie leaving in a bad mood, and sneered in his heart, Wait until I take you from the position of archbishop, I have the means to clean you up!

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage, the two made their way through the flow of people to Victory Square.

Thousands of believers in heaven were excited and sang a song of praise to the Light!

Singing soars into the sky!

The various nobles who came to watch the ceremony had already taken their seats in the stands, and the envoys from the Enomosen Kingdom, Count Gallo, looked at the grand scene in front of them!

The shock in my heart is almost indescribable!

That's the power of religion!

A powerful force enough to subvert the rulers!

And those magnificent temples that I visited before!

Compared to this Church of Divine Light, the Vulcan Cult in the south, which is all over the place, is simply a bunch of clowns!

At the same time, Count Gallo was already thinking about how to report the matter to His Majesty the King, but no matter what, he must stop the Holy Light Church from infiltrating the south!

And he was going to advise Rudolf IV to use all force to prevent the missionaries from entering!

Any force capable of subverting the ruling class should be nipped in the bud!

Many of the nobles who watched the ceremony expressed their unprecedented shock at the gathering of so many people!

Some people are already talking in private, I'm afraid the royal family will not have such a huge appeal in the north!

Even the nobles who maliciously speculated about the Church were already thinking that if the Church put the big hat of heresy on an enemy, without waiting for the Holy Knight or the Guardian Knight to do it, these fanatical believers alone would be enough to trample the opponent into pulp!

At this time, Nicole I sat on a high platform, gold and white, and the dress was similar to the religious dress, representing the royal family's goodwill towards the Church.

Hogg wears a dark green military uniform and stands to Nicole's left.

In front of them stood two unarmed guards.

The faces of the two members of the royal family were tense at this time, without the slightest calm posture before, although the content conveyed by the letter just now, although they did not dare to guarantee that it must be true, but only one thing was true, that person would most likely return to the north in the next few days!

What made them even more nervous was that no one had heard of the original pope alive except for this secret letter from the northern border.

Could it be that the person knows something and is deliberately hiding his identity?

But in any case, the coronation ceremony at this time is already on the verge of happening, and the situation has developed to this point, and no force can stop it.

Nicole was already worried that in the middle of the coronation, the first pope would suddenly appear in the square!

At this moment, in the center of Victory Square, in addition to Moran, four archbishops stood with their hands down, and behind them were a hundred regional bishops dressed in black and gold uniforms.

Ten holy knights wore heavy blue armor emblazoned with sacred emblems, and their greatswords stood on the ground, their hands resting on the hilts of their swords, guarding the right side of the 'Coronation Path'.

Ten other Guardian Knights, dressed in bright silver armor and in the same posture as the Holy Knights, stood on the left side of the 'Coronation Path'.

And at the end of the 'Coronation Road', on a table made entirely of marble sits a heavy canon gilded with gold, a cross with fine iron openwork and diamonds, and a pure white holy phie.

The canon symbolizes God's mercy on the world!

The cross represents the supreme authority of the Church!

The pure white holy phi means the gift of duty!

Master the third and you will be crowned Pope!

In addition to this, at the other end, a crystal container is placed on a cylinder made entirely of gold.

When everyone arrived, the almost boiling square instantly fell silent, such a sacred ceremony, no desecration is allowed!

At this time, hundreds of thousands of eyes were all focused on an elderly ordinary priest.

A priest from a southeastern village who has no background but is proficient in holy power and is loved by believers, Dobbs.

The elderly priest walked up to the four archbishops, put his hands on his chest, and whispered, "Only the light endures." ”

After the four returned the salute, Dobbs bent down slightly, turned to look at the believers gathered around, and his voice was rapidly expanded under the blessing of the Holy Power, "Archbishop of the Holy Sound has abstained from running for the Pope, and under the witness of the eyes of justice and faith, the all-knowing and all-powerful Holy Light, the election ceremony begins now." ”

Calm, emotionless voices echoed across the silent square.

After saying this, Dobbs took the crystal container placed on the golden pillar, and reflexively walked in front of the first regional bishop, "Please write down the archbishop you have elected with a pen in your hand, and then put it here." ”

After receiving the ballot, Dobbs went to the second regional bishop, and the whole voting session lasted for more than an hour.

In the scorching sun, the foreheads of these high-ranking regional bishops were covered with sweat, but no one dared to reach out to make superfluous movements.

According to the tradition of this world, the coronation of the Pope, which is equivalent to a king, should have been carried out in secret, and not in this square, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people.

At least for those bishops of aristocratic origin, it is simply a shame to be 'observed' in this way!

But only such a coronation ceremony is the result that everyone wants.

First, in order to avoid religious wars as much as possible, and secondly, because each archbishop has only a majority of supporters in his own diocese, and if it is held in secret, it is likely that the faithful elsewhere will not recognize the status of the new pope.

So this kind of election ceremony is really helpless.

You know, even the most powerful Sunnah archbishop in his hands could not have the powerful political and religious influence of the first pope who raised his arms and shook the earth!

The long voting process finally came to an end when the nobles in the stands were drowsy. (To be continued.) )
