408 Dharma Protector
Qingyu did not go south with Song Qingyi, but stayed in Chang'an City. He went to the sacred mountain of the Cult of Creation God and saw stones. The Cult of Creation had already learned of the death of Pope John II and was holding a funeral.
John II had already arranged everything, and while he was still alive, all the affairs of the church were under the care of the head of the church. Although the coronation has not yet taken place, the bishop of the Templar has taken full care of the affairs of the church. Of course, it is not justified before he is crowned, and there are others who can compete with him, and the first one is the Adjudicator of the Inquisition, who holds the most powerful power of the Cult of Creation - the Legion of Judges.
At the funeral, Qing Yu met for the first time the famous ruling bishop who made the cult creepy away. He is not tall, with ordinary facial features, wearing a high hat, and he is not angry but powerful.
When he saw Qing Yu, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly, and then restrained his smile. Qing Yu was surprised, because he didn't have any contact with the adjudicating bishop, and the other party shouldn't know him.
The stone was dressed in a white robe with a purple priest's tie. This shows that he has not only been promoted to the rank of purple priest in the priesthood, but has also been officially ordained as a priest. At this time, he was standing behind the Templar Bishop, and his bare head was particularly conspicuous.
Inarius looked solemn, his eyes full of sadness. He knelt in front of the well-dressed coffin of Pope John II. For him, John II was both a teacher and a father.
The funeral was crowded with people, and Emperor Haotian also came, and bowed respectfully ninety degrees on the coffin. No matter what fierce competition exists between the royal family and the Creation See, John II is the greatest reliance of all mankind, and this hundred years of peace comes from the handiwork of this deceased old man. Now that he is gone, the demons are immediately ready to move.
At the funeral, the Templar announced in public that a knightly order of about 30,000 men would be formed to go to the front of the border, and that an exclusive priest would be sent to support the front.
This news made Emperor Haotian and the rest of the people very excited. The adjudicating bishop and some of the other cardinals looked at each other with anger on their brows.
It appears that the decision of the Templar Bishop was provisional and that no one else had been ventilated.
Qing Yu played with all this, but didn't pay much attention to it. At the funeral, he saw Xuanyuan Valve's people coming, in addition to Xuanyuan Min, who had been in the capital, and Princess Gaoyang came to pay respects, he also sent the eldest prince Xuanyuan Yi to come.
Xuanyuan Wuji did not appear, and now, the empire has broken out a war with the demons in the south, and the orcs in the north have not been quiet, and I am afraid that they will not miss the opportunity in vain at this time. As the supreme military commander of the battalion due north, it is unlikely that he will leave.
The funeral was huge and lengthy, and the people braved the rain to see each other, and the continuous crowd stretched for more than 30 miles. The Soldiers and Horses Division of the Capital and the Admiral's Mansion of the Nine Gates have dispatched a large number of troops to maintain order. Qing Yu was also wearing a vegetarian and sent him all the way, but he didn't expect to get the honor of holding a coffin.
There were only twelve people who could support the coffin, and ten of them were from the Creation Church, all of whom were cardinal archbishops. The other two are Emperor Haotian and Qing Yu. As the supreme emperor of the empire, if it was other popes, it was unlikely that he would be able to send the coffin away, but for John II, he took the initiative to ask for it.
After the funeral was completed, the Templar Bishop left the green feather.
In the small study, the Templar Bishop sat on the main seat, and the adjudicating Bishop, Ignatius, and the four other cardinals were seated. Except for Qing Yu, the others are all powerful figures in the Creation Holy See.
The Templar said, "I guess you are confused about what you can do with the coffin. ”
Qing Yu nodded heavily.
The Templar continued: "This was appointed by the Pope during his lifetime, and now I officially declare that you will be the protector of the next generation of the Church, are you willing to do so?"
Qing Yu was even more confused, he didn't know what the position of Dharma Protector was about, and asked, "What kind of work does the position of Dharma Protector do?" ”
"The protection of the Dharma is a long-standing tradition of the Church, there is no specific work, and its core is to protect the safety of the next generation of popes. ”
"How can you afford such a heavy responsibility if you have low strength. ”
"Rest assured, not now, but later. Now, just give you a spot. ”
"What are the powers and benefits of serving as the protector of the Dharma?"
The adjudicating bishop snorted with some dissatisfaction: "The size of the power depends on the size of the event. In normal times, it's equivalent to an ordinary bishop. ”
Qing Yu was still a little hesitant, the most important thing was that he felt inexplicably wonderful, and he didn't know why the Creation God Sect chose him. Ignatius's voice was already heard in my ears: "Accept it with confidence, this is the arrangement of the godfather." ”
Inarius has been promoted to the Holy Domain, he has always been the Grand Knight Chief, and he controls more than half of the Knights of the Creation Holy See, and he was originally only a ninth-order Star Sea Stage powerhouse, although he has the strength to fight the Holy Domain, but he is still a little incorrect, and his words are not good. It is only because of the appointment of the Pope that this has maintained its prestige.
If the Pope is immortal, if he does not advance to the Holy Realm and the new Pope comes to power, I am afraid that someone else will take up this important position. Qing Yu still trusts Inaxius.
Qing Yu thus became the protector of the Holy See, and the ruling bishop gave him a token, not gold or wood, with the word "protector" engraved on one side of the seal, surrounded by flames, and on the other side was a cross with two crossed swords and surrounded by evergreen vines.
Shi and Qing Yu chatted alone for a while, and Shi said, "After a while, I'm going to apply to go to the border." ”
Qing Yu had already seen that this orphan he had picked up from Wind and Snow City was already very ordinary as the status of the Creation Holy See today, and if he stayed in Chang'an, he would definitely have a bright future.
"Why do you want to go over there?"
Shi smiled honestly and said: "Wolf Wazi and Huo Shan have both gone, I estimate that you are going to go soon, it is too boring for me to stay in Chang'an." Once we go to the border, we have the opportunity to fight side by side. ”
Qing Yu laughed and said, "Okay, then we'll see you at the border." ”
