…
"Your Majesty, the construction of the Mystic Lock Technique has been completed." Archbishop Bolton reminded in a low voice, "We can begin."
Pope Pella IV nodded and glanced at his servants.
The latter quickly trotted to his side and raised the crown in his hand.
The latter picked up the crown, slowly put it on his head, and then walked out of the cathedral.
"His Majesty the Pope has arrived————"
Amidst the blast of trumpets, the main door of the cathedral opened in response. As the dazzling sunshine outside poured into the hall, warm cheers rang out in the square.
All eyes were instantly focused on this prestigious and powerful person.
With the support of many attendants, the Pope walked out of the church slowly and stepped onto the podium that had been set up. Tens of thousands of believers in the square bowed their heads to him in high respect, and he knew that there were many in invisible places, such as the streets and taverns outside the Holy See area, and even other fiefdoms in the Holy Wing Islands. The people, just like believers, are looking forward to him bringing new light to the church.
He is one hundred and thirty-six years old.
In office for more than 40 years, he worked diligently to open up the church's soil and push the power of the Dragonborn to new heights. During this period of time in charge of the kingdom, the war between the Sacred Wing Islands and Natantine came to an end. Ranjith Oceania and the Sand Boat Republic retreated in front of the Dragonborn. The power of domestic plutocrats increased steadily, and a large number of factories sprung up. It can be said that everything is moving in a good direction.
It's a pity that Pera IV always has a trace of regret in his heart.
That is the lack of an earth-shattering event in his managerial career.
For example, the previous pope unified the entire island and led the countries in the Sea of Tranquility to sign maritime laws and establish mutually recognized rules for diplomacy and trade. The last pope, with his outstanding achievements in summoning gods to appear in the world, ushered in a new era of Hera's protection of the world.
There is no doubt that the names of these great leaders will be sung by the church forever.
The only thing Pella IV lacked was such an opportunity.
But now, he seems to have waited for the opportunity.
At the moment when the hearts of the church are most shaken, he recreates the miracle of Hera's arrival, and uses the gathered will of the believers to completely defeat the mage tower that is about to move, so that the glory of the Dragonborn can continue for the next hundred years - this is what he does The Pope has an unshirkable responsibility!
"Everyone, I believe you have heard about the disaster that happened in Azure Castle."
"The Son of the Holy Spirit was unfortunately murdered, and the city was almost destroyed because of an evil disaster."
"But I must tell you that there is an essential difference between this incident and the past evil disasters. It is completely a premeditated and purposeful man-made incident! Yes, someone not only caused this murder, but also polluted the Holy Son. Their souls are used to create the most ferocious and terrifying evil spirits!”
"Their only purpose is to attempt to subvert the church from its foundation!"
The pope's voice rolled over the Vatican area like thunder, and continued to spread, and he was responded to by overwhelming shouts!
"Find out the truth and punish the culprits severely!"
"Those who are enemies of Hera will only die!"
"There are people who dare to associate with evil spirits? Your Majesty, please order us to destroy them!"
Pella raised her hand to silence the shouts, "Of course, the church will never allow any evil spirits to cause trouble in the land where the sun shines, whether it is naturally formed or made by humans. Anyone who violates this prohibition, that is, He is the unrelenting enemy of the church! Next, let’s ask the goddess Hera to witness the beginning of this holy war for us. From today on, the church will launch a purge operation in the Holy Wing Islands and even the countries of the Sea of Silence. As long as they are evil believers, Or potential blasphemers, regardless of whether they participated in the evil incident in Azure Castle, the Tribunal will completely wipe them out!"
"Now, let us pray for the coming of Hera!"
The Pope raised his scepter and pointed it straight to the sky.
All the believers in the square suddenly knelt down.
They clasped their hands in front of their chests, closed their eyes, and chanted softly together.
"Uh... should we do the same?" Wu Yue asked, tilting his head.
"No, you just have to watch." Olina's eyes were all focused on her brother at this moment. When she saw Oren closing his eyes and praying like everyone else, she actually felt a sense of reluctance in her heart. .
His brother should not belong to the gods.
He already has a better place to be.
Amidst the prayers of everyone, a series of incredible changes took place inside and outside the Holy See.
For example, the flowers in the flower bed lifted their branches and stood up toward the sky one by one. The air was also filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, making the guests feel like they were in a wonderful fantasy.
"How is this going… "
Wu Yue swallowed in disbelief.
He saw with his own eyes that the wine glass that had just been half-drunk was filled up again, and the aroma of the wine was even more attractive than before.
"This is a sign that the gods are about to appear." Olina murmured, "According to legend, in Hera's kingdom, the sky is always clear, the flowers will always be in full bloom, and all kinds of delicious food are inexhaustible. , inexhaustible. Could it be that...the goddess Hera intends to turn the entire city of Sheila into her kingdom of God?"
Suddenly, a pleasant string sound came from the sky.
Olina raised her head and looked around.
The scorching sun that was hanging in the sky just now has disappeared.
Instead, there is a piece of pure white gauze - it spreads out around the sky, both as if it is wrapping the clouds and as if it itself is composed of clouds.
And in the center of the tulle is the figure of a woman.
She occupies almost half of the sky. There are no words to describe her vastness and magnificence. As long as the gods stretch out their hands, they can embrace the entire city of Shila.
"The gods are indeed still there."
"Let me just say, the sun is still hanging in the sky every day, how can the sun god be devoured by a mere evil demon."
"It seems that the rumors about Azure Castle are not credible. Our worries are indeed unfounded."
There were whispers in the VIP area.
The wealthy businessmen who were originally doubtful now looked more pious, as if they were going to donate all their property to the Church of Hera in the next moment.
Ah... yes, this is what it feels like to be bathed in the light of the Sun God.
Pella IV opened his hands and dedicated himself to the goddess Hera without reservation.
He felt that the power returned to his body. As long as he concentrated his energy a little, the powerful magic would sweep the world according to his will.
The church will definitely win this battle!
…
"Has the time come?"
In the observation room of the cathedral spire, a human face gradually takes shape in the mirror. It squirmed and opened its lips, issuing a murky question.
"Yes, let the Mage Tower also join in the prayer." The tall figure in front of the mirror raised the corner of his mouth, "Who said that evil is not a belief?"
