Scepter of Thorns

Edward woke up, with the altar in front of him, his back against the pillar of salt, and the people in the stands were busy.

"Go back." He walked down the pyramid, "I think I have to take a good rest and hand over the documents over there to Mufujie."

※※※

This is the most complete visit from the Holy See.

The miracle did not announce the empire this time, but the people buried in the Holy See had already reported the news to the cabinet, so there were two royal guests sitting in the seats next to Edward in the sacrifice.Edward flipped through the roster handed over by Wei Ye and found information about the two men.

Fran Monkey Taikoo, 41 years old, the youngest prince of the Guangming Empire.

Sariye Monchitaigu, 23 years old, No. 14 prince of the Bright Empire.

He raised his eyebrows, then turned the page of the roster.

Young believers gathered in twos and threes to discuss news about miracles and the Son.Edward glanced over their names one by one, and finally settled on "Bender Conns".

After his mother died in the service of the Holy See, he was recommended by several hall masters to take on the new position of Holy Son.Edward doesn't like Bender very much, the main reason is that Bender grew up in the Holy See since he was a child, and he has a kind of fanaticism for the light belief that others can't match.He is a victim of the brainwashing education of the Holy See, and he has thoroughly inherited the characteristics of foolish loyalty and self-esteem.

Conns was only 19 years old, but he held the record for killing 54 dark creatures.He was obsessed with this legal slaughter, and unleashed unspeakable violence on dark creatures, but he was awarded a sacred medal for it and was encouraged to continue.However, the most important point is that he is the eldest son of the original master of the Hall of God's Punishment, and he has a high status in the Holy See.

And he is also one of the popular candidates for God Envoy.Bender is handsome enough, unlike Edward, his hair color and eye color are pure golden light blue, and his height is only one punch shorter than him.His crazy worship may move God, and his good family education makes him patient enough, but his unintentional gestures reveal the arrogance of the superior.

Edward handed the completed roster to his followers, and then walked to his carefully decorated seat.But no matter how gorgeous and comfortable it is, it is just below the top.

The lighting here is good, and there is enough light for believers to control.Edward expressed tactful apologies to those who wanted to talk to him. He needed a relatively closed place to feel the breath of God, so when he leaned back in the chair, he manipulated the light to isolate himself from the surroundings.

Edward closed his eyes.

However, at this moment, he felt that his enchantment was completely destroyed, the noise disappeared, and everyone's vision was dim. They groped and walked to their seats to sit down. Edward lowered his eyelashes and held the armrest. Ten fingers tightened.

miracle.

The so-called miracles cannot have the real body of God come.Because all the main gods are unified and isolated in the God Realm, the only ones who can freely enter and exit the two realms are the envoys or the gods whose power has been weakened by half.

Tiny dots of light floated in front of people's eyes, gathering together and gradually illuminating the darkness.It was the angel who came, and his figure appeared on the altar.Because he has the imprint of "invisible and unspeakable", all non-God people can't see his face and hear his words, and the will of God sent by him will be directly conveyed to the sea of ​​consciousness. can receive.

So what he conveyed is——

[Edward Daulsas, accept the baptism with me, and canonize it as an envoy of God, which is irreversible. ] Light once again made a comeback, domineeringly occupying the altar.So everyone saw him standing up slowly, then knelt down on one knee towards the figure standing in front of the pillar of salt, "I, Edward Daulsas, accept the order."

It's not that he didn't predict that he would become an envoy of God, it's just that he subconsciously thought that the main god would skip the top of the Holy See, but now it seems that he miscalculated.

But he hasn't lost yet.

Edward turned around, bowed slightly to all the guests, and summoned Weiye.Wei Ye presented him with a golden scroll, and Edward held the scepter horizontally in his right hand and said, "I am going this time, the Pope is vacant..."

"Wait a minute." Sariel, who was sitting by the side, stood up and slapped her palms a few times, "Shouldn't we congratulate His Majesty the Pope first?"

After he made his first statement, the applause rang out, and all the guests expressed their blessings with sincere smiles, whether it was sincere or false.

The new envoy was not happy to be interrupted, but before he could speak, Sariel smiled and said, "Then, on behalf of the Monchi Taikoo royal family, I will present my father's will."

Edward felt that he could not go on like this.

According to the prince's approach, the Holy See will eventually become an appendage of the imperial power.An envoy is not omnipotent, at least he cannot manage the affairs of the human world, he must control everything in his own hands before going up.So Edward turned the scepter upside down and fought back.

"Your Highness, let me remind you that the affairs of the Holy See are not under the jurisdiction of the empire." When he saw the upside-down scepter, the old man sitting in the corner of the second floor slowly stood up. One of the elders who survived in the water, at the same time, he was also the father of the former queen, Augustine Yin.

"You are too serious, it's just a suggestion."

"It doesn't matter what it is, a good knight always yearns for the light."

"Everyone tries to be good, but in reality that's a small part of it."

"The Holy See has the conditions to train those who are unwilling to be mediocre into the few outstanding ones." Augustine's cloudy eyes flashed, and his wrinkled brown skin was like a dry branch.He is thin and hunched, tightly wrapped in a large robe, but no one dares to underestimate his combat effectiveness, just like the frenzy of locusts gnawing on green grass is chilling.

Fran opened up on the explosive conversation: "Actually qualified mentors can do this."

"But only faith can maximize human potential!" Augustine did not give up the debate because of his insertion, he retorted, "For civilians, faith curbs the emergence of evil thoughts; for soldiers, faith ignites the defense of the country." fanaticism. The duty of the Holy See is to defend everyone’s beliefs and to prevent the evil from knocking on the door.”

Before the two of them could speak, Edward pointed the scepter at the golden scroll, "I announce that as the former Pope, my successor is Mufuja Marmara."

The golden scroll lit up, turned into a spot of light and flew towards a young man beside Conns on the third floor.Mu Fujie showed a stiff smile and bowed slightly, not paying any attention to the surprised eyes of others.

Sariel was stunned, and Augustine sat down as if he had completed his mission, and no longer entangled him with this seemingly correct argument.His short stature was covered by the seat, and he was no longer seen.Fran reacted much faster than the young prince, and he shouted before the cheers: "Your Majesty, please think carefully."

"Is it because I disagree with the king?"

"No." Fran quickly denied, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "It's just that we think Conns is the most suitable candidate."
