Buck was not too nervous this time, because after these heavily armed Ukrainian soldiers confirmed the identity of the Patriarch, they did not let them get out of the car, let alone confiscate the search and inspection items, and the military vehicles were more like acts of protection along the way, and even gave a phone call to contact for confirmation.

The old priest now comforted Buck in turn: "Are you still going to stay in Ukraine? Come with me to Kyiv, since we have come all the way down like this, accompany me to witness it at the end, and then leave Ukraine, now I can guarantee your safety, as if you have protected me many times in the past few days." ”

From the moment Buck left the Tatars, he felt some changes in the Patriarch's feelings: "Do you have any new ideas?"

The Patriarch nodded: "The two pastoral capitals of Kyiv asked me to meet now, our previous appearances in Donetsk and Crimea have now spread all over Ukraine, and this behavior has been interpreted a lot, whether it is Russia, local rebels or independent regions such as Crimea, they have their own statements, of course, Ukraine is the most, and you, as the only person who accompanies me, should naturally show up." ”

Buck dared to contact his wife by phone at this time, and Natasha briefly approved the act: "Almost, we should delay for two or three days at most, and we will fly to Asia as soon as possible...... Now it looks like things have fermented a lot. ”

In fact, it has only been seven or eight days since Buck entered Ukraine along the Belarusian border, and the trip that he originally secretly planned to go around to complete the two major tasks now seems to have become an event that has attracted attention from all parties after Lord Gussef joined.

What exactly is he doing as the leader of the Orthodox Church in the troubled regions of eastern Ukraine?

Along the way, they made appearances in the scattered towns to reassure the refugees, while both sides of the war in Donetsk said that they had felt the blessed aura of the Patriarch and considered themselves to be righteous teachers.

Later, in Crimea, where the confrontation was most intense, the Patriarch had no contact with the authorities at all, but only traveled on his own and then left quickly, so the news of his return to Kiev has made headlines.

As a spiritual leader with a lofty status, all parties have expressed great respect for such a fearless journey through many war-torn urban areas and to the front line to understand various situations, which both NATO and Russia have a formal attitude, not to mention the new president of Ukraine, who has just come to power and is not optimistic about anything.

It is estimated that all parties are waiting to see what Patriarch Gussef will say after inspecting such a large circle of war-torn dioceses.

In Ukraine and Russia, where Orthodox Christianity is widely believed, the message sent by the Patriarch is still very appealing, which will definitely be of great help in stabilizing the hearts of the people.

But the road from Crimea to Kiev was not so simple and quiet, at least along the way, churches in major cities went to the side of the road to greet the Patriarch, and Gussef also complied with the priests' request, talked and hugged one by one, and put on the Patriarch's black gold-rimmed robe, hat and staff, but he refused the high-end car and returned to the dilapidated Lada car that Buck stole at will.

This is in stark contrast to the Catholic Pope's famous Mercedes-Benz fiberglass bulletproof luxury ceremonial car, where the gesture of sticking out of the hand-cranked window glass to wave to the parishioners on both sides of the road has also been left in countless mobile phones and cameras.

Although the number of military vehicles and civilian and church vehicles joining the convoy is increasing, and it seems to be a large convoy, Buck is still a little worried about the behavior of cold guns, so he basically sweeps by, drives a little fast, and the time for eating and resting is disturbed.

He was still a little nervous, until the convoy arrived in the capital, and encountered the largest crowd of greetings along the way, and it was quite peaceful.

Maybe this journey has been all under the eyes of the people and the media, and no one dares to engage in any conspiracy again.

It's a little deserted in terms of a mezzanine welcome, and it's almost a sea of enthusiasm, especially when the little low, old Lada drives along the way of police cars and motorcycles into the huge square in the center of Kiev, where there are roaring cheers, as if World War II has been won, and there are waving Ukrainian flags and all kinds of religious slogans everywhere.

Buck, who had been wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a scarf since Crimea, had been unnoticed in the driver's seat, but he was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and the two formally dressed Ukrainian Patriarchs spread their hands together on the platform that had been set up at the end of the square, waiting for Lord Guseff to arrive.

Buck sat quietly in the driver's seat, and the white car slowly drove to the edge of the platform surrounded by everyone, at this time the car was not a means of transportation at all, but more like a symbolic tool carrying status or holy relics, symbolizing that the patriarch of this micro-service tour returned from the front line of all dangers, and wanted to give everyone, all those who are now confused and disgusted with the chaos of the country, an attitude.

When all the chaotic politicians and the endless separatist rebellions reverberate over Ukraine, the people can only hope that religion and God can give them a clear answer, what will the future hold?

When Lord Gusseff was respectfully opened by the clergy and went out, there was a tsunami of cheers, and Buck sat there observing his movements, feeling that the old man seemed to be a little different from before, a little less indifferent to the clergy, and a little more humane waving around.

Buck didn't get out of the car with honor, just there, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of believers in the audience were standing, just he was sitting, what a style.

Lord Gusseff only whispered a few words to the clergyman next to him, and he slowly walked up to the stage with his staff in the cheers of everyone, and the clergyman came over to Buck's side and whispered: "The Patriarch has arranged for you to follow me backstage, and after the meeting ceremony, he has something to ask you to attend." ”

Buck's hooded appearance was a bit sneaky, thinking that Guseff should not harm himself, so he nodded, opened the car door and went out, but he was still a little wealthy and reached out to bring the small backpack he bought in Crimea, night vision devices, satellite phones and dash cams were all inside, of course, those priceless record cards were on his belt, and he was hesitating whether to bring the two spears in the back seat, and a clergyman had already wrapped it in a blanket in the back seat and took it out to stand next to him.

Yes, someone even helped to get the things, and Buck calmly followed.

It's a bit like the makeshift platform that I watched the music festival concert in Canada, but it wasn't so tall and not so big, it was a blue and yellow background curtain symbolizing the colors of the Ukrainian flag, and in front of the background with the Orthodox cross flag, the three patriarchs stood side by side, more than a meter taller than the people in front of the stage, and the closest people stood on the side of the stage, much more disciplined than the audience watching the idol performances at the festival.

Buck was brought to the side of the backstage, so that he could fully see the stage and overlook the crowds of people around him, maybe Kyiv and all the people around him who knew the news came, after all, after Buck and the old priest left the Crimean checkpoint to inform here, there was about ten hours to arrange, and more believers arrived.

What the hell is going to be like here?)
