Chapter 111: Back to the Light
Ten hours later, Constantine appeared in the Augustan Holy See.
By this time, the clergy from all over the world had rushed back, and the entrance to the hall was already crowded with people.
Seeing Konstantin get out of the way, the priests got out of the way and cleared a way for His Excellency the Secretary.
After seeing Konstantin enter the elevator, the priests gathered around again and began to talk about the rumors about the new August.
The entrance to the sixteenth floor, which usually does not allow outsiders to enter or exit, was also full of priests at this time.
A few of the surviving whitecoats were gathering to discuss something,
The elevator door opened, and Konstantin came out of it, and the people immediately surrounded him.
"Your Excellency Konstantin, you are finally back......
His Majesty the Great August was in a coma several times, and each time he woke up he asked if you had returned.
Lord Constantine, please accept my Allegiance to you personally..... Edinho"
The first cardinal knelt down on one knee in front of Konstantin, and the cardinal behind him immediately knelt down when he saw this.
Seeing that the white bishops were all kneeling, all the priests at the entrance of the entire sixteenth floor knelt down on one knee in front of Konstantin.
Konstantin did not accept this, he saw the stitches and walked past these people, and said as he went:
"Let me go first......
Sula, your pants are zipped open......
Excuse me, and I must first go over to see His Majesty the great Auguste......"
Seeing that Konstantin was about to enter August's exclusive private area inside,
The door in front of him suddenly opened, and Sauron, whose face was bandaged, stepped out of it.
After the two men looked at each other, Sauron sighed, then moved out of the way and said to Constantine:
"You're finally back, Your Majesty August has been waiting for you for a long time - Lord Constantine......"
Konstantin smiled at Sauron and said:
"You recovered so quickly?
They told me that you were badly wounded.
I thought it would be your turn to see off His Majesty the Great Auguste......
Don't mind, Lord Sauron, I'm just kidding......"
Sauron took a deep breath, and then said to Constantine with some helplessness:
"Your Excellency Konstantin, today is destined to be a sad day......
You shouldn't smile like that,
Although you are about to become the new August Majesty.
But as a cardinal, I still don't think you're the way you are......"
Konstantin scratched his hair and said with a grin:
"I can't say that the next Auguste may not be me.
Dear Solon, my friend......
Let's make a bet,
Perhaps tomorrow I will call you the great Auguste......"
Sauron gave Konstantin a strange look, and then said with some unwillingness:
"An hour ago, when His Majesty the Great August awoke,
Addressed to the entire Augustian congregation.
You were still on the plane at the time, and in your speech you had already been named the next August.
At least 20,000 clergy heard the ......
It won't be long before His Excellency Constantine will be renamed His Majesty the Great Auguste......"
As he spoke, Sauron also knelt down on one knee in front of Konstantin.
Just as he was about to swear allegiance, Constantine smiled at Sauron and said:
"Don't worry......
Before I officially sat on the throne, it was unknown who the next Auguste would be.
Sauron, you're waiting for me here, don't go away....."
As he spoke, Konstantin grimaced at Sauron, then turned and entered August's exclusive area.
At this time, August was lying on his bed, and he had four or five tubes stuck in his body.
Relying on these few pavilions, he is kept alive......"
The room that was originally forbidden for others to enter and exit was now seven or eight more medical staff, trying to find a way to stretch the old man's life a little further at the end of his life.
Seeing Konstantin come in, August seemed to feel it.
He was still asleep for the last second, and the moment Konstantin walked into the room, he opened his eyes.
"Gentlemen, you may leave.......
I can hold on until now...... That's it. ”
The doctors, who were also followers of Augustus, saw that His Majesty the Great Auguste had spoken, and after they turned to him and saluted, they left the place.
After seeing that there were no outsiders, August beckoned to Konstantin and said:
"Come and help me up.......
When did you become so shy?
This day will come sooner or later, and you can succeed me as Auguste, which is already a very perfect ending......"
Just as Konstantin walked over, and I don't know if it was back to light, August actually sat up on his own.
One by one, he unplugged the tubes that had been inserted into his body and was helped to his feet by Konstantin.
Konstantin says:
"Didn't you say you're fine?
I've heard that you're in the best condition of the three people rescued, how did it change all of a sudden......"
"I'm too old......"
After a sigh, August continued:
"The old ones don't have much ability to recover......
Sauron and Gonzalez were able to recover little by little, but I was getting worse little by little.
I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you to come back......
You're here to help me get dressed, we're one last step away from becoming the new Auguste.
Don't want that, but that long.
I took it from the hands of the previous Auguste.
After a few years, you're going to pass him on to the next August......"
On August's instructions, Konstantin opened the wardrobe.
Among the dozens of head dresses inside, find the dirtiest and oldest dress.
I don't know how many years this dress is,
The background color should be white, but now it has a layer of dirt on it, and it has become brown.
Konstantin helped Auguste change into this dress, and then heard the old man, whose life was about to come to an end, said:
"You follow me to the Templar,
It was there that the great god Augustus passed the position of head to the first Augustus.
This is a ritual of our Old and New Augustian heritage......
I will tell you the greatest secret of Augustus,
This secret can only be known to August......
When you pass on August, pass on this secret as well......"
The Sanctuary was a forbidden place for Augustus, and no one was allowed to enter or leave except Augustus himself.
Whatever the reason, no matter who you are, entering the Templar is a dead end.
During World War I, the Holy See was once regarded as a cult and was attacked by the artillery of country D.
August was in the church at the time, and in order to save him, Cardinal Merlin stormed the church.
As a result, after August was rescued, he still ordered Merlin to be executed.
Since then, no one has dared to trespass on the Templar.
