The Consecration Hall of San Nebiro Cathedral is one of the most important places in San Nebiro Cathedral in Fernando City. Many famous figures have appeared in the Church of Light throughout history, and some of their belongings are placed there. Here, for future generations to pay homage to,
Cardinal Henry was walking around the yard with his hands behind his back. It could be seen from the look on his face that Cardinal Henry was in a very bad mood. Not far from Henry was his confidant Ferdinand. , and four church guards wearing gorgeous armor,
"My lord, what are you still hesitating about?" Ferdinand looked at Henry's confused appearance and couldn't help but said: "It's time now, let's just go in."
"No, no." Henry heard Ferdinand's words. He stood up and shouted almost subconsciously: "Holy power is not so easy to obtain. I have to wait and wait."
"What are you waiting for? There are at least 500 guards around here who are only loyal to you. As long as you get that book, you can immediately have that powerful power, and then we can..."
"No." Henry shook his head and said, "If I'm not wrong, this book can only be inherited by one person at a time. As long as he doesn't die, it's impossible for me."
"That's not as good as..." Of course Ferdinand wanted to advise his master wholeheartedly, but it was still inconvenient to say some words. Ferdinand just pressed hard with his hand and revealed his inner thoughts.
"You can guarantee success. Don't forget how that terrifying Frost Bone Dragon was eliminated. Moreover, he is the only agent of the God of Light in this continent. If you do this, aren't you seeking death?"
Hearing Henry's words, Ferdinand remembered the identity of that person, and suddenly felt at a loss. He thought for a while, but couldn't think of any way, so he had to ask hesitantly: "What should I do?"
"It's very simple, Ferdinand, let's wait." A victorious smile suddenly appeared on Henry's face: "His body will definitely not last long. The only thing we have to do now is to wait."
"But didn't that Dodger say he couldn't hold on for long?"
"Humph, you don't understand." Henry said disdainfully: "If he doesn't say that, how can he let us leave? If we don't leave, he can only stay here. Besides, what if the orcs come over? We are the supreme Believers of the God of Light, do these orcs dare to fight against God?"
"Stop, ouch..." The guard's voice came from outside the yard, and there was a dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Ferdinand's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "What's the matter?" Before the guard outside could answer, Reid's voice rang in everyone's ears: "It's me, the eighteenth Archbishop of the Church of Light, Reid."
Red strode in, with Ryan and Allendo following closely behind him, guarding him on the left and right. More than 20 church guards holding halberds surrounded Red and the others in a semicircle. But he didn't dare to get too close. Instead, he looked a bit like stars holding the moon.
When Henry saw Red for the first time, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, because the clothes on Red in front of him were completely different from before. When Henry saw Red just now, Red was just wearing an ordinary suit. Priest's robe, and now, Red's attire has completely changed. On his head is a crown covered with thorns, and on his body is a black bishop's robe inlaid with gold, and on his shoulders are embroidered robes. A light yellow shawl with black tulips, and in Red's hand, he held a scepter. An angel with six wings was carved on the front of the scepter.
Henry didn't need to look carefully to know what the scepter in Red's hand looked like. He had seen it up close many times in the past few decades, and even obtained it many times in his sleep. Henry's eyes were filled with heat. With divine eyes, he looked at the scepter in Reid's hand with fascination. The seraph on the top of the scepter was a male. He was all white, holding a long sword tightly in his hand, looking straight ahead with a determined expression. The entire statue came to life, and even every feather on the angel's wings came to life. Soon, Henry's breathing became rapid, because he suddenly understood one thing, that is, Ibel had passed away, otherwise this symbol of The Seraph Scepter with the identity of Archbishop will never fall into the hands of the second person, absolutely not,
"Is he gone?" Henry suddenly asked,
"Yes."
"His power has been passed down to you."
Red did not speak, but nodded firmly. At that tragic moment, Red finally chose to face it bravely. After some strange rituals, Red received the inheritance of Master Ibel. This kind of Inheritance is not entirely based on strength or experience or life experience. This is a very strange feeling. In this way, Ibel made Red understand what sacred power is and personally felt that powerful power. , and whether Red can achieve that step himself depends on Red’s own efforts.
It's as if Red is going to a place he has never been before. If he walks slowly by himself, he may reach his destination, but more often than not he will take a side road or go the wrong way, wasting a lot of time. , and may even encounter huge dangers and lose their lives, and Ibel is very familiar with the environment there. Using this method of inheritance, he is equivalent to drawing a map to tell Red how to go. As for whether Red will Whether you can use it or understand it all depends on Reid's own understanding.
"Damn it." Henry suddenly lost his temper and shouted loudly: "Why, why, why not me, why you, for thirty years, I have worked diligently for the entire Church of Light, and I like delicious Bordeaux wine. , I also like women’s smooth skin. I can also enjoy everything those nobles can enjoy, but I don’t. Since I became the old guy’s assistant, I have never drank again, and I have never been in contact with the opposite sex. For more than ten years , I only eat a few pieces of toast every day, drink a glass of water, and sleep on that cold and hard wooden bed. My life is no worse than that of those ascetic priests."
After shouting here, Henry suddenly pointed at Red and said: "But you, you bastard who has tarnished the glory of the God of Light, what have you done in these years, hanging out with that little girl Faras, drinking, and fighting , peeking at those noble ladies taking a bath... But why, why... "
Two lines of hot tears flowed from Henry's eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Why did that old guy choose you in the end? Could it be that all the suffering and suffering I have suffered over the years have been in vain? The Church of Light In the past ten years, his power has increased significantly, and his influence in the secular world has become greater and greater. Even with my help, he will achieve a higher reputation than the emperor."
Henry wanted to continue talking, but Red spoke leisurely: "Ask yourself, is all this you have done just for this sacred cause?"
Henry was at a loss for words, and Reid continued: "Yes, I do have a lot of criticisms about my reputation, but how many of those rumors are true? Don't you contribute to them? No matter whether I am drunk or indulgent, in my heart, I will always believe in the supreme God of Light, and as for you, everything you do is just for power."
"Henry." Reid faced Henry and said calmly: "My teacher Ibel asked me to tell you something. He said that you should not be a priest. If you are an official of the empire, maybe Chad The position has long been yours."
"Hahahaha..." Henry raised his head and let out a burst of laughter. He shouted loudly: "It turns out that all this is just a dream. However, I am not without the power to fight back. Guards, give me your full strength. Block them."
As soon as Henry finished speaking, he heard a whistling sound in the air. He looked up strangely, while Ryan and Allen's expressions changed greatly. They had been used to hearing it for several months in the Thor Fortress. This sound, I know what this sound represents,
"Bang." A fifty-kilogram boulder fell from the sky and directly hit the two church guards on the ground. Blood and internal organs burst out, covering the companions around the two unlucky guards.
"Be careful, it's an orc's catapult." Ryan warned loudly, but at this moment he no longer needed too much explanation. The bloody scene in front of him had frightened the church guards. Although these guards had undergone strict training, they It had been 200 years since they had personally experienced a war, and their training was more of a ceremonial nature. Now that they saw their companions being killed by huge rocks falling from the sky, they immediately became confused and dropped their weapons and ran away. The scene It's a mess,
Ryan and Allendo immediately stood apart, listening to the sounds in the sky. The stone projectiles thrown by this kind of trebuchet are amazingly powerful. Unless they are fully prepared in advance, or blast them with fireballs, or directly avoid them, it will not matter. Even if Ryan and the others were hit, the consequences would be very tragic. Red didn't care about Henry anymore. With a solemn face, he began to bless everyone with various protective magics. Although he received the inheritance from Master Ibell, he himself His strength has not changed much. At least before he understood those things, Red was just a priest who had gone through half of the hard training.
Cardinal Henry looked at the mess on the ground with straight eyes, and even Ferdinand's loud shout in his ear could not be heard, "They really, really dare to be rude to the servants of the God of Light. Henry murmured: "Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"
"Sir, I don't know whether they will be punished by God, but if we don't leave, we will be the unlucky ones."
"Get away." Henry pushed away Ferdinand, who was trying to forcefully pull him away. He turned his gaze to the worship hall and whispered: "There is no difference in the outcome whether you leave or not. It's better to fight and thunder. Things like virtue can be inherited by the archbishop, so doesn’t it mean that I can’t get the inheritance of that book?”
When Henry said this, a look of fanaticism appeared in his eyes. He strode towards the worship hall, kicked open the door and disappeared into the hall. However, Ferdinand saw that Henry still refused to give up at this time. , there was some hesitation in his heart. On the one hand, Ferdinand did not want to die in vain, but on the other hand, if Henry really gained such power, he would inevitably be liquidated if he escaped now. When he was in a dilemma, Ferdinand simply put his mind to it. Yiheng also rushed into the worship hall,
