Chapter 6: The Earl of the Crown
The young man walked up to the altar and came to the Pope with all the eyes of all.
He spread his right hand into a palm in front of his chest and bent down slightly.
"My glory and light are with me. β
The young man's voice, with the blessing of the peak strength of the Pope's holy throne, reached the ears of everyone in the square, and every word was clear.
However, the boy's tone did not have the slightest warmth, and it could even be said that it was cold, so cold that it was impossible to hear his proper belief in light.
The square fell silent all of a sudden, and no one chanted this phrase to express their belief in the light.
It was a slogan that made people feel high, but when it came out of his mouth, it made people shudder!
The Pope nodded lightly and said, "May the light protect you for the rest of your life." β
Under the gold that symbolizes light and the white that symbolizes holiness, the boy stands silently, and his dress in pitch-black leather armor looks out of place on the altar.
His sense of disobedience is becoming more and more different from ordinary people, and it makes people feel more and more curious.
The Pope turned to Dobaroque and whispered an order, and Dobaroque made a "do-the-obeisance" gesture before stepping down from the altar.
I squeezed near the altar and stared up at the boy named Kane.
He is a non-believer, and only a non-believer can appear casual and rude in front of the Holy See of Light.
I didn't want the Pope to find me, so every time he glanced at me, I lowered my head.
The Pope's voice sounded again: "Warrior Kane, you have brought back the kidnapped Holy Maiden, you are the pride of the Belese Empire, your deeds will go down in history, and I canonize you as a ...... on behalf of the Holy See of Light Earl (the title is not important in the text, there is no need to care). β
"Thank you, Your Holiness. The boy's voice remained cold, clearly indifferent to the title.
The Pope was a little surprised, and looked at the young man again, with a look of pity in his eyes.
The people under the holy altar muttered, roughly saying things like "this son is not a thing in the pool" and "this son is young and fame is not good, and he will become a great weapon one day".
Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied with the young man's reaction, so if you canonize the earl, you will die if you are grateful!
I had a vague feeling that I had seen him somewhere, but I couldn't remember anything.
In the end, my mind hurt when I thought about it, so I simply didn't want to.
At this time, a cardinal took a few steps forward under the Pope's signaling gaze and said to the young man: "Count Kane, I apologize for informing you to come to this event, the Holy See only arrived at the border yesterday, and you hurriedly returned to the capital by teleportation array, and you didn't have time to rest, but in order to let the general public know the good news, I hope you can understand the reason why the Holy See did this." β
This passage will not be said by the Pope, otherwise it will affect his demeanor.
The young man's voice finally warmed up, and he said respectfully, "Lord Berendo...... I can understand that the Holy See of Light is doing this. β
Cardinal Belendo smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Count Kane, you are a warrior with great potential, the Holy See admires you, do you have any intention of joining the Holy See?"
The pope's amplified blessing was not turned off, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Everyone looked at the boy, and the boy shook his head as everyone began to wonder about his choice.
Cardinal Belendo looked a little embarrassed.
The people once again gave full play to the characteristics of the melon-eating masses and began to discuss again.
"What an idiot he actually refused?
"It's so hateful, why does this make the Pope embarrassed?"
"Alas, such an illustrious boy must not like to be restrained...... Heβhe nodded?"
"Yes!" he nodded in agreement!
On the altar, the young man nodded suddenly, as if he had received some kind of instruction.
He said in a deep voice: "I am willing to serve the Holy See of Light...... Potency ......"
"Wise choice! If you choose the Holy See, the light will choose you. Cardinal Berendo's brow furrowed, and he turned his head toward the Pope.
The Pope nodded approvingly, and Berendo retreated to his seat.
"Kane, now tell me about the experience of saving the Holy Maiden, and I will conclude with what the Holy Maiden said to determine the truth, and then decide the size of the reward you deserve. β
The Pope finally asked the confusion in everyone's minds.
How did he rescue the Holy Maiden from the sinister Elenni Empire?
The boy was silent for a moment, as if organizing the words.
He glanced to the left and right, as if seeking some kind of direction, and then said solemnly: "After the news of the Holy Maiden's abduction by Elleni spread, I was worried about the safety of the Holy Maiden, and wanted to see if one person could save her.
When I arrived at the capital of Elleni, I found the Holy Maiden in a certain castle, and I sneaked in to find the Holy Maiden......
As a result, the saint refused to leave, so I had to knock her unconscious and forcibly take her away......"
"She won't go?" the Pope frowned.
"Yes, she said she was going to help the people of Ellen through a crisis. The boy replied honestly.
"What crisis?" the Pope found out that the Holy Maiden was hiding a lot of things.
She didn't say anything...... I didn't ask either......"
The teenager's answer almost caused the Pope to suffer a heart attack.
"Uh~ Then how did you sneak into the capital of Ellen?"
"Your Excellency, I entered the capital of Eloni directly in a temporary teleportation array. β
"You're lying, the Alenni Capital City has opened the [Sky Canopy] to block the signal of the illegal teleportation array, what about the temporary teleportation array......"
"That temporary teleportation array has been approved by the [Skycanopy]......"
"Oh?"
"I bribed the Skydome Administrator......"
The young man replied impatiently, tired of the Pope's questioning.
"Forget it, you don't have to be reluctant to explain, how can the canopy administrator be short of money...... Let's talk about what happened next. The Pope's face was a little displeased.
"When I took the Holy Maiden to the temporary teleportation array, the teleportation array had already been destroyed by the robbers who had kidnapped the Holy Maiden, and I had a confrontation with him...... He was so powerful that I couldn't beat him, but I found that he cared about the safety of the saint, so I threatened the saint's life to get out......"
As soon as the words ended, the scene suddenly resounded with voices of national dissatisfaction and anger, and they all blamed the boy named Kane.
I'm also very upset, you knocked out the saint to take the saint away, I can understand it.
But I can't bear it if you threaten the robbers with the life of the saint!
When is your life as important as a saint?
It is your honor to die under the knife of the robbers!
You are blaspheming the light in doing so!
The scene of indignation was quieted down after the Pope's several indicative coughs, after all, the young man brought the saint back, and the merit outweighed the demerit.
The young man ignored everyone's angry gaze, and continued: "I have carefully considered the action to save the Holy Maiden, and in order to prevent accidents, I have prepared a spare teleportation array, which is located in a certain village in the Haken Desert, and I have taken the Holy Maiden for several days in the desert......
The robber hired a super mercenary named Kana, who was discovered by his mercenaries and Areni soldiers when I found a backup teleportation array, but Kana was no match for me and couldn't stop me from activating the teleportation array......
Unexpectedly, the backup teleportation array was damaged, teleporting me and the Holy Maiden to the orc tribe......
At that time, there was a tribal conflict between the orc tribes, and I assisted the Orc tribe of Metal to defeat the Orc tribe of bones, and with their help, I embarked on the road back to China, until I arrived at the border of the empire yesterday in the Gothic steppe. β
It was obviously an extremely difficult process to return to China when you think about it, but he said it lightly, as if he had taken the whole thing as a task.
