quicksilver blood

Chapter 546
When the sun rose to its highest point, the holy city of Frankfurt was already covered by a silver halo.

The earth is nourished by light, exuding a jade-like soft light.People were dressed in formal suits, with pure white cloaks, with strange abstract patterns painted on the back, drawn vertically from the nape of the neck to the end of the cloak.

To describe it, the pattern is somewhat similar to a long-handled scepter.

The scepter was entangled tightly by thorny chains, and the chains spread out like wings on both sides of the scepter.And at the tip of the scepter, it is decorated with a slender cross like Roland's scepter.

Above the scepter, there is a mysterious eye-like pattern suspended, surrounded by chains that spread out to both sides to form a concentric ring.

It was the emblem of the Three Saints, plus the scepter symbolizing Roland.

That is the believer of Saint Laurent—the believer who follows the rites of the three saints, believes in the principles of the world, and abides by Roland's "Comments".

They are witnesses of miracles.

They call themselves commandment keepers, and they are the first group of orthodox believers who believe in the Three Saints and Roland in the new generation.

"Listen to Saint Laurent's commandment, for he will speak the most beautiful words! He opens his mouth to speak of righteous things—"

Guderian's old and majestic voice sounded from above.

He is the host of this holy meeting.

Attending the ceremony as an officiant at the holy meeting that Roland's believers participate in once a week can only be done by a bishop or higher.In the local churches, when the priests held the congregation, they could not explain half a commandment, nor could they claim to preside over it. They could only call themselves "St. hold holy convocations in the capacity of the priests.

And being able to preside over the holy congregation in Frankfurt, the city of the highest and most sacred miracles, his identity is beyond doubt.

That is a right that only the Supreme Bishop has.

Half a year passed, and the theocracy changed.Although Guderian did not become the pope he longed for, his status was still the supreme bishop second only to Roland.And compared to when he was the supreme bishop of Tire half a year ago, he is obviously much younger now.

Compared with people like Duoduo and Gaharad, he may not be so devout to Tyre, Roland, or even the Three Saints.But it doesn't matter, he is the person who knows how to run the Holy See and how to cultivate believers.It can be said that Tire's church can persevere, except for the inhumanly powerful Jupiter IV, who has more than [-]% of the rest of the credit.

Although Guderian has neither strength nor prestige, he is the most powerful heart of an administrative system and a roaring engine.Roland has no doubts that if Guderian chose to enter politics when he was young, he might be able to achieve the position of one person under one man and above ten thousand people.

As long as there is Guderian is enough.Even if his loyalty is not as guaranteed as Sira, but with Duoduo, Sira and Claudia, there is no need to worry that he will usurp power while Roland is gone.

Standing on the high platform built by the branches of oak, Guderian held Roland's "Commandment" in his hands, and shouted to the believers with a melodious and powerful voice, like singing ancient ballads, or like a song floating out of a theater troupe. Opera: "As we have seen, the land from here to there is filled with the glory of Saint Laurent, whose glory covers the heavens, and the earth is filled with praise—"

"—he is the king of the earth!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the voices were neat as if they had been rehearsed.

"Saint Laurent gave us his land, as we give wealth to our children. He protected it and made it flourish. Those who sow with tears will reap with joy! Those who bring seed with tears will rejoice Come back with the sheaves of joy!"

"Praise Saint Laurent for his miracles, praise him for his great virtues!"

"Believe that Saint Laurent will end hunger and injustice. He will forgive us as we forgive others."

"Therefore shout the name of Saint Laurent, praise him with stringed instruments, praise him with the sound of horns, praise him with loud cymbals, praise him with loud prayers—"

After Guderian finished speaking, he raised his hands and looked down at the believers.

All the believers stretched out their right hands at the same time, connected three points on the forehead, throat and heart, and then placed it on the left shoulder.

This is a ritual dedicated to Saint Laurent.It means devoting your soul, life and will to Saint Laurent and never regretting it.

"Saint Laurent, holy!"

Everyone spoke at the same time and shouted in unison: "Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!"

"——Saint Laurent, holy!"

Eventually, the ceremony ended with seven praises in a row.All those who participated in the congregation left in an orderly manner.

Only then did Guderian heave a sigh of relief, and slowly descended step by step from the seven-foot high platform, and walked back to the cathedral on foot under the escort of the knights.

Although in his capacity, even riding in a carriage in the Holy Land is not a big problem, but Guderian, who has always abided by the motto of "being cautious in words and deeds", will not take any oversteps because of greed.

He is very aware of his identity.

How did he sit on the position of the Supreme Bishop, and how could he keep this position—all of these, Guderian kept in mind.

Even though Her Royal Highness and Sir Sira both teleported away from the cathedral with the assistance of the young wizard last week, there are at least two wizards, one old and one young, in the cathedral, as well as an undead priest named Dodo who is Roland. .As long as these people are still there, Guderian will never reveal any clues.

But when he first entered the cathedral, Guderian saw an unexpected person.

"Chrisses?"

It was an old man who could only be described as shriveled.His hair was gray and tarnished, his eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were shaking like restless rodents, and his shoulders were bent.Like an old man who has aged to the point of stupidity, staring at a certain place, muttering something.

After hearing Guderian's shout, he turned his stiff neck slowly, staring at Guderian with a wet and sticky smile: "Ah... Your Excellency Guderian, may Saint Laurent watch you."

He is the Bishop of Chryses, the former Cardinal of Tire, and a fanatic of Tire.

He is a remnant of the old days.

Ever since the followers of Tire and the temple were almost fully accepted by Roland, Guderian and other former Tire cardinals felt their hearts were trembling.

At that time, everyone thought that he would rush forward and try to die with Roland, or secretly kill Guderian, who betrayed the glory of Tyre.

However, Chrissy did not do this.

As if he was really overwhelmed by Roland's great miracle, he sincerely submitted his faith to Roland.

Undoubtedly none of Tell's Cardinals believed his tales.But no matter whether it is the divine magic that detects piety or the witchcraft that detects lies, it can be concluded that he believes in Roland from the bottom of his heart.And they are limited to their own position, and they are unable to report their former colleagues.This matter had to be left alone.

After Guderian was appointed as the supreme bishop by Roland, he made many attempts on Chryses.But he was fooled by pretending to be crazy.Chryses is always elusive. As a bishop without a church, Chryses has no rights and no obligations at the same time. Guderian hardly sees him for several months.

Even this time was the first time he saw Chrises after Roland left Bansa.

Chryses, who had been hiding from him for several months, reappeared in front of his eyes, but Guderian's heart was full of dissatisfaction and disgust for the first time.

——Aside from other things, as Chrises, he should not have the right to enter the cathedral.

"Who brought you in, Chryses?"

Guderian frowned, resisting the desire to stay away from this shriveled and dirty old man, and asked coldly.

A vague premonition emerged in his heart.
