Chapter 109: Great Prophecy (5)

The Confessional Hall of the Basilica of San Nebiro. It is one of the most important places in the Cathedral of San Nebilo in Ciudad Fernando. There have been many well-known figures in the history of the Church of Light, and some of the items they carried during their lifetimes have been placed here for future generations to pay their respects to.

Cardinal Henry walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and from the look on his face, it could be seen that the Henry Cardinal was in a very bad mood. Not far from Henry were his confidant Ferdinand, along with four ecclesiastical guards in ornate armor.

"My lord, what are you hesitating about?" Ferdinand looked at Henry's appearance at both ends of the rat, and couldn't help but say, "It's all at this time, just go straight in." ”

"No, no!" Henry heard Ferdinand's words, and he almost subconsciously stood up and shouted, "Divine power is not so easy to obtain, I must wait, wait." ”

"What are you waiting for? there are at least 500 guards around here who are only loyal to you, and as long as you get that book, you can immediately have that kind of power, and then we can ......"

"No!" Henry shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there can only be one person at a time for the inheritance of this book, and as long as he doesn't die, I can't possibly do it." ”

"That's better than ......" Of course, Ferdinand had to give advice to his master wholeheartedly, but some words were still inconvenient to say, and Ferdinand just pressed down with his hand to reveal what he was thinking.

"Can you guarantee success? Don't forget how that terrible frostbone dragon was destroyed. Moreover, after all, he is the only agent of the God of Light in this continent, and if you do this, isn't that looking for death?"

Hearing Henry's words, Ferdinand remembered the identity of that person, and suddenly felt at a loss, he thought about it, but couldn't think of any way, so he had to hesitate to ask: "What then?"

"It's simple, Ferdinand, let's wait. Henry's face suddenly showed a triumphant smile: "His body, it will definitely not be delayed for a long time, the only thing we have to do now is to wait." ”

"But, didn't that Dodge say it wouldn't last long?"

"Hmph, you don't understand. Henry said disdainfully: "If he doesn't say that, how can he let us go, if we don't leave, he can only stay here." Besides, even if the orcs fight, we are believers in the Supreme Light God, do these orcs dare to fight against the gods?"

"Stop!" came the voice ......of the guards outside the courtyard, close to the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Ferdinand's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly, "What's the matter?" Before the guards outside could answer, Red's voice sounded in everyone's ears: "It's me, the eighteenth archbishop of the Church of Light, Red." ”

Red strode in, Ryan and Allendo followed closely behind him, one on the left and one on the right, more than 20 church guards holding halberds in a semicircle behind Red, but they didn't dare to get too close, but they looked a bit like the stars holding the moon.

The first time Henry saw Red, his heart couldn't help but tremble, because the clothes worn by Red in front of him were completely different from before, when Henry saw Red just now, Red was just wearing an ordinary priest's robe, and now, Red's dress has completely changed, he wears a crown full of thorns on his head, and he wears a black bishop's robe with gold trim, and a pale yellow shawl embroidered with black tulips on his shoulders, and in Red's hand, he holds a scepter, and the front end of the scepter is carved out of an angel with six-winged wings。

Henry didn't need to look closely to know what the scepter looked like in Red's hand, he didn't know how many times he had seen it up close in the decades, and even acquired it many times in his sleep. Henry's eyes showed a hot gaze, he looked at the scepter in Red's hand with fascination, the seraphim at the top of the scepter was a male, he was white, holding a long sword in his hand, looking at the front with a resolute face, the whole statue was vivid, even every feather on the angel's wings was lifelike. Soon, Henry's breathing became rapid, because he suddenly understood one thing, that is, Iber had died, otherwise this Seraphic Scepter, which symbolized the status of the archbishop, would never have fallen into the hands of the second person, absolutely not.

"He, is he gone?" asked Henry suddenly.

"Yes. ”

"His power has been passed on to you?"

Red didn't speak, but nodded firmly. In that tragic moment, Red finally chose to face it bravely, and after some strange ritual, Red received the inheritance of Master Iber. This inheritance is not entirely based on strength or experience or life experience, which is a very strange feeling, and in this way Ibel made Red understand what the divine power is, and personally feel that powerful power, and whether Red can do that step in person depends on Red's own efforts.

It's like Red is going to a place he has never been to before, if he walks slowly, he may reach his destination, but more often than not, he will take a fork in the road, the wrong way, Lang will spend a lot of time, and may even encounter great danger and lose his life. And Iber is very familiar with the environment there, and his use of this way of inheritance is equivalent to drawing a map to tell Red how to go, as for whether Red can use it and whether he can understand it, it all depends on Red's own understanding.

"Damn!" Henry cried out in a sudden gaffe, "Why? Why! Why not me? Why you! For thirty years, I have diligently given my all for the entire Church of Light, I love the delicious Bordeaux wines, and I love the smooth skin of women, and I can enjoy everything that the nobles can enjoy. But I didn't, and since I became the old guy's assistant, I never drank anymore and never touched the opposite sex. For more than ten years, I only ate a few pieces of toasted bread every day, drank a glass of water, and slept on that cold, hard wooden bed, and I lived no worse than those ascetic priests!"

Calling this, Henry suddenly pointed at Red and said, "But you, you bastard who has defiled the glory of the God of Light, what have you done all these years, fooling around with that little girl from Faras, drinking, fighting, peeking at those noble ladies taking a bath...... But why, why......"

Two lines of tears flowed from Henry's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Why did that old thing choose you in the end? Could it be that the suffering and sins I have suffered for so many years have been in vain? The Church of Light has greatly increased its power in the past ten years, and its influence in the world has also become more and more powerful, and even with my assistance, he will achieve a higher reputation than the emperor!"

Henry wanted to continue, but Red spoke leisurely: "You ask yourself, is all this you have done just for this sacred cause?"

Henry was speechless, and Red continued: "Yes, I do have a lot of criticism in my reputation, but how many of those rumors are true? And you, all this you do, just for the sake of power. ”

"Henry," Red said lightly as he faced Henry, "My teacher Eber asked me to convey a message to you, he said, you should not be a priest, if you were an official of the Empire, maybe Chad's position would have been yours a long time ago." ”

"Hahahaha......" Henry raised his head and burst into a wild laugh, and he shouted loudly, "It turns out that all this is just a dream." However, I am not without the power to fight back, Guardians, give me all my strength to stop them!"

As soon as Henry's words fell, he heard a whistling sound in the air, and he looked up a little strangely, while Ryan and Allendo's faces changed drastically, they had been in Thor's Fortress for a few months, and they had long been accustomed to hearing this kind of sound, and they knew what this sound meant.

"Bang!" a fifty-kilogram boulder fell from the sky and smashed the two church guards directly to the ground, blood and internal organs burst out at once, staining the companions beside the two hapless guards.

"Be careful, it's an orc catapult!" Ryan warned loudly, but he didn't need much explanation at this moment, the bloody scene in front of him had frightened those church guards, although these guards had undergone rigorous training, but they had not personally experienced war for 200 years, and their training was more of a ceremonial nature, and now seeing that his companions were smashed and killed by the boulders that fell into the sky, they immediately became chaotic, and they all dropped their weapons and fled, and the scene was chaotic.

Ryan and Allendo immediately stood apart and listened to the sound in the sky, the stone projectiles thrown by this catapult were so powerful that unless they were prepared in advance, they would be smashed with fireballs, or directly dodged, otherwise even if Ryan was hit by them, it would be very miserable. Red didn't care about Henry anymore, he began to bless everyone with all kinds of protective magic with a solemn face, although he got the inheritance of Master Iber, but his own strength did not change much, at least before comprehending those things, Red was only a priest who had gone through half penance.

Cardinal Henry's eyes were straight at the mess on the ground, and he couldn't even listen to Ferdinand's loud cries in his ear. "Do they really, really dare to be rude to the servants of the God of Light?" muttered Henry, "are they not afraid of God's wrath?"

"My lord, I don't know if they will be punished by God, but if we don't leave, we will be the unlucky. ”

"Get out of here!" Henry pushed Ferdinand away, who wanted to forcibly take him away, he turned his gaze to the worship hall, and whispered: "To go or not to go, the result is no different, it's better to fight! Even a person like Red can get the inheritance of the archbishop, can I not get the inheritance of that book?"

Henry's eyes lit up with a frenzy as he strode toward the worship hall, kicked the door open, and disappeared into the hall. On the one hand, Ferdinand didn't want to die in vain, but on the other hand, if Henry really gained that power, he would escape now, and he would inevitably be liquidated. Faced with a dilemma, Ferdinand simply turned his heart on the side and rushed into the worship hall.
