"Another one?"
Sensing Chunjun's sword light, the dozens of auras glanced at him. Soon, someone nearby recognized Yuan Changqing's fluctuations.
"In just ten years, have you broken away from the shackles of the flesh and appeared in the form of the Holy Spirit?"
Laughter came from the blurry light: "I didn't expect that the Soul-Living Sword Chapter could be practiced to this extent in your hands. Isn't there any more talk about taking a person's head with a Thousand-mile Flying Sword?"
"Mr. Liu Si?"
Yuan Changqing's shadow slightly cupped his hands: "Long time no see."
The man known as Liu Si smiled and said nothing.
Among the nine surnames of Dongfang's Dragon Vein, in addition to Yunlou Qingshu who had arrived in the Holy City a long time ago and was sitting at the VIP table to watch the ceremony, there were also Yuan Changqing who had arrived with a flying sword, and Liu Si who had arrived in the form of a fantasy beast. .
Among the nine surnames of Dragon Vein, Liu is famous for her expertise in summoning factions.
It's just that what Liu's lineage is good at constructing is not living creatures, but the rumored ghostly shapes.
Compared with demons that actually exist and are available for reference, invisible ghosts that only exist in legends are more difficult to control.
The demon is alive, but the ghost is the soul of death.
The technique of cultivating yin energy and raising ghosts in the fragments of one's own consciousness is unique.
It can be said that among the nine surnames in Longmai, the Liu family is the least popular. They deal with coffins and graves every day, feel death, often sleep with dead bones in the graves, and stay with the dead every day.
Some people say: People of the Liu family definitely prefer talking to the dead than to the living.
Once a member of the Liu family appears, they will inevitably bring with them headless ghosts, dead ghosts and other chilling things. It's okay for ordinary people. If they are the elites of the clan, they often create formations of hundreds of ghosts walking at night and evil soldiers crossing the border. Fight out.
Even if they are just passing by, people infected by animal nature will probably become seriously ill, and those with weaker health will have to stay in bed from now on.
Not to mention, the people of the Liu family all have "surly" written on their faces and are extremely difficult to deal with. Even if they are both of the blood of heaven and man, others can only stay away from them.
At this time, Liu Si went out on patrol on behalf of the family leader, and transferred his consciousness to a ghost that was raised to the level of a fantasy beast. It exuded substantial Yin Qi and miasma in mid-air. If it was not deliberately restrained, it would be possible for several miles around. Everyone inside will be filled with fear and fall into chaos.
Yuan Changqing didn't care what his plan was, anyway, he just came to take a look and then left.
I'm afraid everyone who comes here has the same intention.
Sensing the etheric fluctuations of the Holy Spirits in the sky, several auras rose up in the Holy City, which could be considered as greetings to each other.
At this moment, the holy city is crowded and noisy, but the sky is not empty as seen by the naked eye, but is very lively.
From the observation of the Central Temple, it was as if there were dozens of suns patrolling in the sky of the Holy City.
After reaching the scepter level, you have entered the path of immortality. If you want to live forever, you must replace your body part by part with etheric organs, and even go through various transformations to place your consciousness on other objects. among.
Each school has different methods, which are superior to each other, but the effect is the same.
The strong men coming here at this moment are all holy spirits who have turned themselves into ether and turned into nothingness. In order to show their goodwill, they did not bring much power here. More people just relied on various alchemical equipment to focus on the Holy City.
Not only humans, but also all kinds of weirdos in the etheric world are watching this human event.
For example, there are giant whales in the clouds, stone birds that can speak human words, eyes that appear as bodies of fire, and so on...
They can even be found on the VIP seats in the Holy City.
In the front row of the VIP seats, there was a figure with the head of a rabbit, wrapped in vague mist.
It speaks the common language skillfully and chats happily with the people around it.
It represents a strange race in the etheric world. They often appear in the material world as merchants, selling strange things produced in the etheric world.
People often see a shop selling strange items in the wilderness. Some people buy a box and take it back. After opening it, they instantly age by dozens of years. There are also people who bought a broken bowl from someone they didn't know when they went to the market. When they got home, they found that they could get a bowl of gold sand by pouring water into it... Most of these weird stories come from them.
These strange creatures in the etheric world cannot be said to be living creatures, but rather like legendary landscape spirits. Their logic and concepts are very different from those of humans, making it difficult to communicate with them. But the things they dig out from the etheric realm are very valuable to musicians, and they even need to be hired as guides when exploring the etheric secret realm.
The one who comes here today is one of the leaders of those merchants. They also have large transactions with the Holy City every year. They are invited here when the new pope ascends the throne.
This time the enthronement ceremony was different from the past. It was held in such a hurry in just a few days, and even the countries were only given a symbolic notice. The envoys sent by various countries were still on their way, and the ceremony had already begun.
Such a sign is not good news for all countries.
In the past, Ludovic was a radical representative in the Holy City, advocating that the Holy City should rule the countries instead of the current lame and ridiculous parliamentary system. His rise to power means that a new round of games is about to begin for all countries.
And the conflicts that were alleviated by previous popes will become increasingly acute...
But for Ludovic, this may not be a problem at all.
In other words, he doesn't care at all what the human world will be like or what system it will use to survive...
To God, mortals have no meaning.
The same goes for the personification of Ludovic.
In the sanctuary, Ludovic sat in front of the mirror and looked at himself.
He is wearing a white robe, a ring of thorns on his head, and the corners of his clothes are decorated with verses from the Holy Scriptures in lapis lazuli. He is graceful, noble, and extremely majestic.
"Do I look holy?" he asked suddenly.
"Yes, Holy See."
Behind him, the attendant who was arranging his clothes smiled and responded: "Holiness is the crown of the Holy See."
"wrong."
Ludovic shook his head, "Mortals create the divine, but the divine does not belong to mortals."
He stood up, stopped looking at himself in the mirror, and pushed out the door.
Outside the door, there are countless believers cheering enthusiastically. They looked up at Ludovic on the steps, with tears in their eyes, and knelt down to worship.
In the distant Papal Palace, the huge bell on the bell tower was rung, and the choir sang carols on the high platform, which resounded throughout the city.
In the hollow gold ball, the spices are burning, and the fragrant aroma and smoke rise from it.
Two priests held gold balls hanging on silver chains and opened the way ahead, leading Ludovic to the Holy Temple.
Along the way, beyond the separation line of the garrison, countless believers occupied every gap in the street, kneeling on the ground, worshiping Ludovic's retreating figure.
An inconspicuous priest walked out of the crowd, showed his certificate, came behind Ludovic, and reported softly:
"Something happened."
"where?"
Ludovic smiled and waved to the crowd.
"Underground Palace, Samuel was injured last night." The priest replied: "Ye Qingxuan somehow took out the shackles, held Samuel hostage and tried to escape, and almost broke into the third floor."
"Then what?"
"I used my hands and feet to catch him, but four masters died."
The priest looked a little flustered: "We have suppressed him at the lowest level. Three forbidden masters have deployed the barrier. This time, it is absolutely foolproof."
"Don't worry, I don't blame you."
Ludovic sighed softly: "After all, he is Ye Lanzhou's son. I originally expected him to give me a little more surprises. Maybe I had too high expectations for him? Forget it, I made a fuss once, I should just settle down now. ”
The priest replied uneasily: "He is still trying to break through the seal. We dare not kill him, there is no way."
"It's just a child's temper."
Ludovic smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Go and bring that little girl over to keep him company. He will be obedient."
The priest hesitated for a moment and replied: "But before... Hermes didn't allow us to touch her."
"so what?"
Ludovic glanced at him expressionlessly: "The Holy City has changed its owner. Tell him that if a loser wants to stay here, he must at least understand some rules."
"yes."
The priest did not dare to say any more, so he respectfully left, took ten steps back, and then turned around and left.
In the crowd, amid the cheers and shouts of countless people, Ludovic raised his hand and smiled at the believers.
"God bless you, son."
Through the armor of the garrison, he reached out to touch a child who had lost both arms, and said to his mother: "He is unfortunate, but now he has been blessed by the Lord, and he will be God's defender in the future."
"Thank God."
The child's parents wept bitterly and knelt in the dust, worshiping Ludovic's figure.
Ludovic smiled, turned and walked towards the central square and towards the high platform. During the solemn hymns, the bishops bowed their heads respectfully and offered their loyalty to the new rulers of the Holy City.
"Is this your new leader?"
At the VIP table, the Ether with the head of a rabbit asked the people around him strangely.
"Exactly."
Beside him, Yunlou Qingshu nodded: "How does your Majesty feel?"
"We don't understand humans, nor do we understand human rules." Wei Qi replied: "He is different from the previous leaders, which makes me very confused."
"Every leader is different." Yunlou Qingshu said, "This is normal."
"I hope so."
Wei Qi stopped talking.
On the high platform, amid the solemn chants, Ludovic took off his crown of thorns, and then held up the solemn crown.
The inner lining of the crown was stained with dried blood, carrying a faint fragrance.
"That's good."
Ludovic murmured softly, smiled, and put the crown on his head.
As a result, it became solemn and solemn.
Like a collection of all the sacred things in the world.
Amid the roar of the crowd, he smiled, raised the papal scepter, and showed everyone the two crossed keys on the scepter.
A handful represents the road to heaven.
A handful represents the home of souls on earth.
Beyond everyone's expectations, there were no surprises or any setbacks. The enthronement ceremony was completed so smoothly, as if it was destiny.
From then on, he was the new pope.
In front of the podium, he smiled, looked down at the lambs he would shepherd, and said calmly:
"A few days ago we suffered a great tragedy."
"In just a few days, we carried this misfortune and were reborn from the fire. Just like stone turning into iron in the fire."
"My coming here today represents more than just the birth of a new pope."
He paused, smiled, raised his scepter, and solemnly declared: "On behalf of the only God in the world, I am here to tell you and give instructions to this people and this world..."
"—A new era is coming!"
