Royal Dragon City.
At the northern foot of the sacred mountain, four knights in pure white armor were walking on the mountain path carrying a crystal coffin.
With solemn faces, they walked, bowed their heads and prayed silently. The armor on their bodies glowed with a hazy white-gold light under the sunlight, full of radiance and holiness.
Turning a mountain pass, came to a guarded post.
An old man in a red priest's robe was waiting there.
If you understand the costumes of the Glory Church, you will know that only three cardinals are qualified to wear the red priest's robe.
Seeing the crystal coffin, the cardinal sighed slightly. The color of sorrow and compassion on the old face carved by the years became more and more intense. The light echoed away.
Gradually, the top of this mountain was shrouded in the white golden holy light.
The guards of the sentry raised the gate.
The cardinal turned his head and walked straight through the open stone gate, and the four coffin-carrying knights quickly followed.
Behind the stone arch is a picturesque valley.
It was a bitter winter, but the weather in the valley was pleasant and warm like spring.
Colorful wild flowers bloom on the green grass, like a magnificent ribbon.
A clear stream flowed out of the mountains, and the pure stream hit the round pebbles, and fell into countless crystal clear water droplets, and then rolled into the flow of nowhere, and disappeared in an instant.
The cardinal walked along the stream to the depths of the valley, and the melodious bells faintly rang from the sky, echoing in the valley.
咚——咚——咚——
The atmosphere became more solemn, and even the colors on the roadside gradually became monotonous.
The original colorful flowers slowly turned into a unified white chrysanthemum, and under the breeze, waves of white flowers seemed to be waving to the returning soul.
The cardinal continued on, and soon came to the end of the valley.
Among the white chrysanthemums, there is a magnificent cemetery.
A white waterfall hung from the entrance of the cemetery, and a golden rainbow light hung over the cemetery in the sound of splashing water.
This is the Holy Sepulchre of the Glorious Church.
Inside are buried the successive popes of the Glory Church, as well as the believers who have made outstanding contributions to the church.
It stands to reason that the Archbishop of the East like the Duchess of St. Pros is not eligible to be buried in the Holy Sepulchre, and she did not seem to have made any outstanding contributions during her lifetime, but Pope Gregory personally issued the decree. , Agreed to let her enter the Holy Sepulchre to rest in peace.
Obviously, the pope wanted to send a signal by this-
he is very angry!
Very serious consequences!
Entering the Holy Sepulchre, a team of Templar knights pierced out their long spears obliquely, intertwined in midair.
In the resonance of the holy light, deep and solemn prayers echoed throughout the valley.
The cardinal walked out of the gun forest, stopped in front of a figure wearing a golden priest's robe, bowed and saluted:
"Under the crown, the body of Archbishop Kate has been served."
Pope Gregory nodded without speaking.
The four coffin knights continued to move forward and put the crystal coffin into the already dug tomb.
咚——
The bell rang again.
Pope Gregory took a few steps forward, stood still in front of the tombstone, and said:
"Death is not the end, but another beginning.
Only when your body is occupied by the earth can you really dance.
Only when you come to the top of the mountains do you really start climbing.
Only when you leave this world can you shine like a star.
The Lord said, don't be afraid, go forward! "
咚——
The soil was slowly scattered, and the tomb was slowly filled in.
The brilliance of holiness rises from the cemetery, forming a straight beam of light, going straight to the sky.
After a while, the beam of light dissipated, and everything was quiet again.
In the Holy Sepulchre, the Templars left one after another, leaving only the Pope and the Cardinal.
Pope Gregory looked at the tombstone of the Archbishop of the East and suddenly said:
"Turnance, can you understand my anger?"
"I feel the same way as you, my crown!"
Cardinal Turnans nodded calmly.
He knew very well that it was not the death of the Eastern Archbishop that really made the Pope angry.
Of course, the archbishop of the East was brutally murdered, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the prestige of the church.
However, the death of an archbishop seemed to be less important than the misappropriation of the church’s exclusive "tithe tax" by the nobles in the East to cover military expenses.
For any organization, fiscal revenue is the top priority, it is the lifeblood, and it is an untouchable scale that must not be touched.
And Archbishop Kate was able to enter the Holy Sepulchre to rest, naturally not because of how much she made during her lifetime. This is actually a signal sent by the Pope to the outside world.
The changes in the east, the church will never let it go.
It's just this time...
"They are trying to dig the foundation of the Glory Church. We must make a strong counterattack to frighten those who are ready to move!" Pope Gregory said coldly, his eyes full of undisguised murderous intent.
Turnance's brows frowned more tightly, and he only listened carefully to his advice:
"Under the crown, the invasion of the orc army is imminent, and the Glory Empire...can't withstand a civil strife!"
"I understand." Pope Gregory nodded, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest. "So, our counterattack must be restrained, but it must be fierce enough!"
Turnance looked up at the pope and asked, "Did you have a plan already?"
"Yes." Pope Gregory took out a scroll and handed it to Turnans, and ordered, "You leave as soon as possible and go to Winter City."
"Okay." Turnance took the scroll and was stunned. "Winter City? Didn't you go to the East?"
"No, the root of the changes in the east is in the north, or more accurately, the guardian of the north-Earl Anglia. Therefore, our counterattack should also be directed at this person."
"Yes, under the crown! Your will will be carried out!" Turnance leaned over to salute, then turned away.
Pope Gregory spent a while in front of the tomb of the Archbishop of the East ~ www.novelhall.com~ and then walked towards the depths of the Holy Sepulchre.
Until the end of the Holy Sepulchre, Pope Gregory stopped in front of an old tombstone.
Looking at this tombstone that has been baptized by thousands of years of wind and rain, Pope Gregory's face turned hideous, as if a furious beast about to choose people and eat him, he roared:
"Look at what you did! Is this the result you want?"
Pooh!
A mouthful of thick sputum was spit on the tombstone, just covering the name of the owner of the tombstone.
But with the passage of time, that name eventually appeared again—
Peter Messier.
This is the name of the first pope of the Shining Church.
