Chapter 10: The Guardian Knight

Seeing that it was Pope Nicholas who spoke, everyone was stunned and extremely shocked, including those cardinal archbishops, only Hadros smiled slightly after being stunned, as if he had expected it.

Baptism performed by the Pope himself is not only a matter of great honor, but more importantly, the meaning behind it.

First, he will not be any faction, but will be directly subordinate to the Pope, as his descendants. Secondly, the vision of Pope Nicholas is famous.

For so many years, no one who has been praised and recognized by him has been nameless, and those who have been baptized by him have become famous people in the world.

Previously, the people he had performed baptism, no matter how low their status, were considered declining nobles. The only commoner who was baptized in his hands is now even more famous: the Divine Knight Mars.

If this thing is really carried out today, it means that Qin Shaofu will become the first civilian to be baptized by the Pope after Mars.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Bishop Roncali was the first to object: "Is he just a commoner, or is he ...... Descendants of the Orientals, how can you personally come and baptize him. ”

"Exactly. His Majesty, he directly became a lord knight, which was a bit inappropriate. Bishop Fabio was also opposed: "Although there are also knights who increase their merits by completing the tasks of the Holy See, he is the only one who kills one person, or even the head that falls after picking up someone else's killing, and becomes a knight of lords." ”

"If you still let the crown personally perform the baptism, I am afraid that the knights will not accept it. ”

Not only the two, but the other bishops also agreed, each with different reasons, even Bishop Andrew also frowned, as if he never thought that this would be the case.

When the crowd was boiling, Pope Nicholas raised his hand, and the chamber immediately fell silent. After glancing at everyone, he said unhurriedly: "When I baptized Mars back then, there were more people who opposed it than today, and there was still the royal family that day. ”

"When I baptized Mars, the environment was much worse than it is today, inside the stable. Therefore, I also arranged for Mars to be a dragon husband for three years, which is much worse than that of Lord Knight...... Is there anything else you have to say?"

No one spoke again, much less objected. Not only because what Pope Nicholas said was reasonable, but also because he was willing to explain, it meant that he had made up his mind.

The pope represents God, and the pope means that God wills, and what God wants to do, mortals cannot object.

"Ready, let's go!"

At the behest of Pope Nicholas, someone immediately began to prepare.

"Qin Shaofu, come up!"

Hearing Pope Nicholas shouting to himself, Qin Shaofu hurriedly walked up along the stone platform with great respect and stood still in front of Pope Nicholas.

"Magnolia Holy Maiden, come up!"

Hearing the order, the holy woman also walked up along the stone platform and stood beside Qin Shaofu.

"Take a step. ”

Pope Nicholas took the Holy Maiden a step forward, stood beside him, and then said: "For every Holy Maiden, there should be two guardian knights, to be chosen by yy. Today, I'd like to pick one for you, what do you think?"

The saint was stunned for a moment, immediately understood the meaning, and without much hesitation, nodded and said, "It's glorious." “

Maybe Assad was not killed by Qin Shaofu, but she still remembers that at that moment of crisis, it was this man who stood up, and she even remembered that when she negotiated conditions with Assad, it was this man who gave her a chance to survive first.

He may not be a powerful guardian knight today, but he is definitely a brave and fearless knight.

Pope Nicholas said to Qin Shaofu again: "You have the blood of the Oriental, and you have a lot of fate with the Magnolia Holy Maiden, she is a Chinese from the Linhu Basin. Today, I want to ask you to be her guardian knight, regardless of light or darkness, war and peace, life, old age, sickness and death, always protect her, are you willing?"

When he heard Pope Nicholas talking to the Holy Maiden earlier, Qin Shaofu already knew what was going to happen. In the few breaths, he had already thought about it in his mind.

A person who aspires to be a knight, he naturally knows the meaning of guarding a knight. It was a form of semi-allegiance, and the fates of the two were linked from then on.

In normal times, the knight will do his own thing, fight for his own destiny, and will do whatever it takes to protect the object of his allegiance when she is in need.

The allegiance does not have to be extraordinary, and many knights are also tempted by the encounter with a beautiful commoner woman and swear allegiance because they want to protect her.

However, most of the allegiances are noble people, princes and nobles, male and female, and they will give more opportunities to the guardian knights, so that the guardian knights will also get more power to protect the people they want to protect.

Suddenly, he will become the guardian knight of a saint, and the witness is still the current Pope Nicholas, Qin Shaofu couldn't ease up for a while.

When Pope Nicholas asked again, Qin Shaofu nodded again and again: "I am willing." “

He has the blood of the Oriental and will become a knight, and the Magnolia Holy Maiden is the Holy Maiden of the Chinese people, and she is the person he should protect.

At this time, someone was already waiting with a golden bottle of holy water.

Pope Nikolai looked at Qin Shaofu and nodded: "It's started." “

After Qin Shaofu knelt down on one knee, Pope Nicholas took Bai Yuyao's hand and put it on top of his head.

"I, Nikolai, under the light of God, the one hundred and fifth Pope of the Holy See, the Custodian of the Staff of the Holy Spirit, and the leader of the Holy See, baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. “

"From this day forward, are you willing to accept God of Light as your Savior, to be brought under the door of God of Light, and to live a holy life according to the teachings of the Bible?"

"I do!"

"Do you believe that the Blood of Christ can cleanse you from sin?"

"I believe it!"

"Will you be crucified, buried, and resurrected with the Lord?"

"I do!"

"Are you willing to keep the knightly virtues, humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, honesty, justice, soul?"

"I do!"

"Are you willing to obey the laws of the knights, not for wealth, not for selfishness, but for justice and justice, only for those who need our protection and help?"

"I do!"

"Are you willing to become the guardian knight of Bai Yuyao, the Holy Maiden of Magnolia, regardless of light and darkness, war and peace, regardless of birth, old age, sickness and death, and protect her forever?"

"I do!"

"May the God of Light bless you!"

Pope Nicholas and the Holy Maiden withdrew their hands, and then lifted the golden bottle, slowly pouring the holy water from Qin Shaofu's head.

The moment the holy water touched his hair, Qin Shaofu bit his teeth violently, and his whole body trembled.

It's not that he hasn't seen baptisms, Victor is a priest and doesn't know how many people have been baptized. He has also come into contact with holy water, which is in the name of holy water, which is actually ordinary water.

But today is different, when the water is poured down, it is like boiling water. It's not because of the temperature, but because there's a power in it, and it seems that the power of holiness is incompatible with oneself. The power of mutual repulsion hurt deep in his soul and made him miserable.

The saint sensed his situation and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing!"

Qin Shaofu endured it with all his perseverance, even if it was such a severe pain, he would never let himself lose his temper. He didn't understand why, Victor had never been baptizing people.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the knight's opportunity is right in front of him. Once you show discomfort, you will think that it is a heresy, let alone become a knight, and you will not even be able to save your life.

Pope Nicholas did not feel anything, recited the words of prayer in his mouth, poured the holy water, and then sat back on the golden throne.

"Congratulations, Lord Knight...... Qin!"

Qin Shaofu hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head to hide his pale face due to pain at this time: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Pope!"

Pope Nicholas nodded, looked at the cardinals again, and said slowly.

"This time the Angel Holy Spirit advent place, I want the last one, to ...... Lord Knight Qin. “

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Hadros, who had already walked to the door and was about to leave, also stopped when he heard this, glanced back, showed an intriguing smile, and left without looking back.
