[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

Fern Cathedral occupies a vast area, making it more grand like a palace, but the people living here are not secular emperors, but devout believers who believe in God, so the feelings brought by the buildings are more ethereal and contempt The majesty of everything.The church is divided into many parts, and each part has its own function, and you can’t walk around without permission or authority. An informal identity like Samuel can only enter the ordinary monk’s residence behind the church, and even Entering here is also specially approved. Although he can enter in other churches on the way, but here, he is not only a small person, but he has not even officially joined the church.

That's right, it was when someone mentioned it that everyone suddenly realized that it doesn't matter how pure Samuel's blond hair and blue eyes are, how powerful his holy art is, and how much he has the demeanor of a holy son, he has not formally joined the association, and swore to God's respect and love, therefore, before the Pope's assessment and becoming the Holy Son, he had to temporarily add a project, that is, baptism.

Baptism is also time-consuming.In the single-divine area, everyone believes in religion, so people are baptized by the priest of the diocese three weeks after birth, and become the people of God. Since the war of God, because everyone is born a believer, it has been a long time since adult catechumens have been held. Although Samuel is not yet eighteen years old, he is not considered an adult, but the situation is similar. Therefore, Fern was busy looking up classics before preparing to baptize Samuel. Seeing that Samuel should How to arrange.

Before the ceremony was confirmed, news came that the pope would baptize Samuel himself, and everyone was in an uproar.As the highest believer under God, the Pope is old, and now he doesn’t appear in front of people except once a year on Holy Days. Now he says he wants to baptize Samuel himself. Shocked?Not to mention that with the announcement of this news, another related news came out: after Samuel was baptized, he also established the position of the Son of God.

Samuel has lived in seclusion since he came to Fern.He was not familiar with Fern, and he was afraid of making mistakes because of his unfamiliarity, so he wanted to maintain his aloof image. Moreover, although there were rumors about him, he felt that it had nothing to do with him.He is like a prop. In a series of publicity plans of the Holy See, no one has asked his opinion, and no one has come to discuss with him. He just needs to stay obediently, just waiting to accept the instructions from above.

Not dissatisfied with such a weak situation where he has the right to speak, Samuel is now buried hungry and thirsty in the library of the Holy See.Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy can lead to a hundred battles. He has to read and memorize the various teachings and history of the Holy See before he can master it to the point where he can use it as his own weapon.He warrior positions himself as a "debater", just waiting to use his three-inch tongue to change some bad views on life.

He felt the urgency again now.He was previously imprisoned by Paliulius in Kil'jaeden, and after hearing the news from Coleridge, he was passionate about the idea of ​​helping the world and the people, and with his shallow wisdom, he made a decision. As for the plan of becoming the Son of God, as for what to do after becoming the Son of God, he only had very shallow thoughts.Now that he is about to become the Holy Son, he has personally experienced the combat power that church knights can exert beyond his own body driven by faith, and even smelled a trace of gunpowder smoke in Fern, the place where the faith of the single god area is concentrated. How can he not be anxious when he learns from those bishops who intend to befriend him that the Holy See does have a "great" plan?

A dream that is too great will indeed be light and unreliable on the way to realization. Before coming to this continent, Samuel, who had been living an ordinary life, was somewhat lazy and selfish, never thought about it. He couldn't bear to see There were too many casualties here, and the people were killed for reasons he couldn't really understand, not to mention that it didn't give him a very good impression.Maybe it's because he already regards this place as his home, this place where he lives in real life.

Samuel's baptism was scheduled for the middle of the month, and some clerics had counted this day, saying that it was a perfect day for important ceremonies.The ceremony is open, because baptism is not a big deal, but the establishment of the Son is, not to mention the presence of the Pope.Three days before the ceremony, Samuel was told to cleanse his abdomen, drink only water, and wear a robe made of coarse cloth to meditate in a quiet room, thank God and pray to God.

Edwin and Xiaohua were not allowed to spend these three days with Samuel. Although some monks promised to take good care of them, Samuel was still worried, and repeatedly asked them to take good care of them.The two pets that followed Samuel spread along with his blond and blue-eyed name. Although there was no history of the Son raising pets before, who made Samuel speak eloquently, saying that they had been with him since he was a child? He symbolizes harvest and wisdom, and metaphorically pulls out the name of God to speak.

The name of God is really very useful, as long as it is reasonable, the expression and posture are more impeccable, and most people dare not question it, because they believe that God does exist and will punish those who lie.Samuel was not afraid. After he started impersonating but was not punished by the "God", he comforted himself that the so-called God couldn't control him at all.

Samuel has been hungry for three days. He always eats delicious food. These three days reminded him of the days when he was under the control of the couple when he was here, and he couldn’t get enough to eat, let alone the clothes on his body. Deliberately poor quality dungarees, Samuel bets he's scratched red from the exposed fibers.Fortunately, after knowing that the Holy Son here does not need to be a vegetarian, Samuel felt that it was only three days, and he could bear it.

Finally endured until this time, Samuel came to the scene of the ceremony with a hungry stomach, the square where the public assembly of the Holy See of Fern was held.Although it is held openly, not everyone can come to participate in the congregation. Except for the clergy of the Holy See, there are only some senior ordinary believers who have been screened.

Samuel saw the Pope for the first time. Whether in Samuel's world where the average life expectancy is gradually increasing or in this fairy tale land with poor living conditions, people in their 70s can be called twilight years. Even with the blessing of holy magic, the old Pope looks very energetic, but he slowly His stride and wrinkled face are showing people that he is in his last days.

Samuel originally thought that according to what he saw, the higher the position, the more luxurious the attire, and the old pope should also be gleaming with jewels, but he was dressed as plain as an ascetic. The gowns are made of extremely precious fabrics.With a kind and kind smile, he stood in front of Samuel like a grandfather next door, rubbed his head, and boasted:

"What a good boy."

... more like the grandfather next door.

No nonsense, the Pope directly announced the baptism began.The baptism process is not complicated. The newborn baby here is splashed on the baby's head by the priest dipped in holy water. Because the newborn baby is extremely pure, it only needs to be marked with God's mark.However, according to the records in the classics, Samuel converted halfway like this, and he lived in a sinful and blasphemous area before, and needed a more thorough baptism, so he needed to sink into the holy water in front of everyone, so that the holy water could not pass His whole body completely purified the breath of sin.

Isn't it just holding your breath, Samuel said it's okay.He took a deep breath and lay down in the stone jar specially made for him. He counted silently to two hundred in his heart. The water was released by the pope and led into the gutter. On Samuel's head, read slowly:

"Samuel Arthur, I baptize you in the name of God. You must remember the grace of God and do what He tells you to do. God hates you."

Samuel crossed his hands and caressed his chest, and then said:

"I am already a citizen of God, and I am willing to be driven by my God."

In this way, the baptism was completed. Samuel was led by the monks to the room next to the square, where he dried off the water and changed into another set of clothes before going back.Next, is the ceremony to establish the Son.

Compared with the baptism, the establishment of the Holy Son was the most important thing. The audience who had been standing quietly under the stage just now became excited, but this time the ceremony was much more grand and cumbersome.

First it was a long prayer, and then it was done under the guidance of the Pope following the postures that had been memorized. Samuel, who was wearing a white robe embroidered with the sun and the moon, finally reached the last step.He stood in the middle of the stage and swore once again how he would be loyal to God, how he would dedicate under the leadership of God and other routines. Only then did the pope take out the divine music book, one of the holy relics, which is different from the divine music that is widely spread today. Biography, this book is the earliest book that records the words of God. It has supreme power in the legend of the single god area, and it is also a holy artifact that must be present every time the Pope and Son are established.

In every ceremony, this holy vessel with an old cover and an ancient history, but still strong, will emit a white light that expresses permission. Without this white light, no matter how good the candidate is, the ceremony will not go on, because This means that God does not approve of them, but after so many years, the white light still shines every time. People never worry about this, but they will think about another thing.

It is said that when a pope was succeeding, the divine music book emitted a strong light, and it lasted for a long time. Later, he made a career and influenced the surrounding countries with barbaric beliefs. Kudos to this Pope.

Later, every time people participated in the ceremony, they held the expectation of seeing this scene. Unfortunately, there were only three recorded cases of this kind of event in history, and each time, great people really appeared.
