The end of an era (2)
The death of the Han Emperor did not delay the convening of the pre-war meeting. Without any convening, Virge did not participate as an heir. After obtaining Alberrecht's Ken, he escorted Lucien to St. Vancetis as an empire and participated in the coronation ceremony of the new pope.
The City of Glow has a portal that goes directly to Saint Vanses. It took half a day to go, and Lucien and Victor arrived at the headquarters of the Light Camp, the most famous floating island in the southern continent.
Next to the portal, the welcome priest knelt all over the ground, and the periphery was surrounded by church knights.
This is not the first time Lu Xien has seen such a scene, but this time he is the protagonist, it is always a bit unfair.
. Seeing Lu Xien who was stunned by the dark head. At the front of the crowd, the only consul in red who did not kneel down, he woke up Lu Xien who was already in a state of stagnation.
"I want to meet the Pope." Lucien felt that Anal's death was not just as simple as being assassinated. Victor analyzed that without an insider, it would be almost impossible to kill the Pope in the headquarters of the Light Clan. Even if the assassination is stronger than Anal, it is impossible to break through the barrier that is stronger than the Wind Temple from the outside.
"Your Highness, the coronation ceremony has been prepared long ago. Please move to the Great Hall to refute Lucien's request expressionlessly. Before the coronation, Lucien, who serves as the Paladin, could not order the consul.
I will check Anal's body in person. You should follow these guys first to avoid their suspicion.
Something suddenly touched his shoulder gently, and the cold feeling invaded with telepathy. Lucien paused and went to the Great Hall as the consul said, leaving the matter of checking Anal's body to Victor, who had been invisible before entering San Vancetis.
The crowd surrounded Lucien, who was about to succeed, left. Victor, invisible, looked around and his eyes quickly locked in a building not far away. The dark aura was radiating from the gaps of the building. Although it was very light, in a place full of light power, this dark aura was very easy to identify. What's more, Victor himself was a dead soul and was very familiar with the dark power.
Bypassing the two unaware knights at the door, Victor sneaked into the closed door and put a cleaned and washed body on the bed; it was the newly-dead Pope Anal. The dark force radiated from the Pope's corpse.
After confirming that there were no traps or magic circles in this small prayer room, Victor walked forward and untied his gorgeous outer robe. After uncovering the layers of wraps, the secret hidden in his chest was exposed. Although it had been modified and treated, it could still be seen that there was a small slit in the heart, like a cut by a sharp object. This should be the reason for Anal's death. The mixed toxin condensed near the wound. Even if it died, it still eroded the skin and muscles little by little. Darkness could be seen covering the wound with the naked eye. The source of power of Victor was very familiar with the power of the undead.
The undead's hand? Or "After Alberrecht made the undead the heir, he challenged Mara's bottom line again and cooperated with the undead? This may not be the case, but in this way, he knew that my true identity was also a question for Mother Yong.
What exactly does the madman want to do? If he wants to become a god, he shouldn't do so many actions that would anger God. Could it be that I guessed his intention wrong? No, no, if I didn't want to replace him."
Victor grabbed the sudden flash of inspiration in his mind.
I got it! I finally knew why he was doing these strange actions. His was indeed temptation, but the object of temptation was not me, but Mara. Damn, he was so crazy that he had such thoughts.
The troubled thoughts were interrupted by the breath of life that suddenly approached. In addition to casting a protective barrier for himself, Victor squeezed out of the gap in the window in a gasified form. Just as the net left, the door was opened, and a high-level priest rushed into the prayer room, Ruju's eyes swept back and forth in a small space.
"The Eland Sacrifice, no one came in."
"No! I feel an unknown aura. You immediately notify Lord Bairente, saying that the dark lurker has not left and is still in the holy city. To prevent the second assassination, it is best to activate the Holy Prayer Formation to purify all the unclean things in the city." The priest who did not show an invader deliberately said this loudly, intending to warn the dark creatures lurking nearby. The Holy Prayer Light is a large magic array that combines attack and defense. Although it consumes a lot, it is a light spell that even the high-level dark clan cannot resist. If you don't want to die, it's best to leave Saint Vassetes as soon as possible.
Victor left the place where Anal's body was placed and walked towards the portal. Alberrecht's orders arrived at the Holy See first before it and Lucien. He did not show up for a long time, so it was difficult for these church members to be suspicious.
The device that touched the portal and pretended to be teleported from the net, Victor appeared swaggeringly in front of the left-behind Knights and the priests. Many church members who had never seen him opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at a human male covered in death breath, heading straight towards the Great Hall where the coronation ceremony was being held.
"Stop!" Come back to your senses
"Before the sirens rushed to Bu, blocking Victor's way, the other sirens also rushed to the sirens, and the sirens surrounded the demons, and a murder incident was born. They would not cause any damage to the new pope who was being crowned. The priests also hurriedly sang various protective barriers and blessing spells, preparing to assist the knights in destroying the bold and absurd undead.
"Stop it all." A loud shout made the knight and the priest who were ready for attack turn back at the same time.
"It's Davia, it's been a long time since we saw the visitor." Seeing the visitor, Victor couldn't help but curl up. The arrival happened, which saved a lot of trouble.
"Captain, do you know this undead?" In the third year after Lucien was promoted to Governor, Anal recalled Davia and promoted him to the commander of the Holy Sword Knights, replacing Lucien, who has been stationed in Precia for many years.
"They have never seen you, so please don't blame your highness." Davia, who has always complained about Victor, bowed severely, and his actions caused an uproar. As the leader of the Holy Sword Knights of the Church, the future Paladin was so respectful to a dead soul.
Many people have guessed Victor's identity, and the tense atmosphere has immediately disappeared.
"I was delayed in something and did not come with Lucien, which caused unnecessary misunderstandings. This was my fault, but even with a smile on his face. Victor, who was the dead, still did not add any favors to everyone watching it.
"His Excellency Lucien is in the Great Hall, and the coronation ceremony is about to be held. Please go here. Davia raised his hand and the crowd around Victor immediately dispersed. Under the leadership of the Knight Commander, he walked towards the loud Great Hall, and noticed a special sight. The lich turned around and saw the middle-aged man who had been called a sacrifice. He only saw him looking at him with his brow.
Hum" I am not afraid of recognizing it. With the title of the next Emperor Notting, no matter how devout believers are, they have to consider the serious consequences of attacking me. What's more, "the brother of the new pope. This identity has also made those radicals stalemates stop moving forward. It has not been a day or two for Rushien to have a harmonious relationship with his half-brother. Except for the reckless madman like Alberrecht, anyone with a little bit of thinking should not attack me at this time.
With a smug and arrogant expression on his face, Victor came to the innermost part of the Great Hall. Seeing it appear, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief. He took the high crown and long staff symbolizing the Pope from the red consul.
The bell rang again, this time to celebrate the birth of the new pope.
As Notting's envoy and future emperor, Victor stood closer to Lucien than anyone else. With his wide sleeves as a cover, Victor explained to Lucien some of the situations he had just discovered.
Anal was killed by the undead, and I did not find the Holy Eye in his body.”
Could it be that it has been taken down? Waving to the church members, Lucien kept smiling on his face. No one would have thought that he was having an unaware of the spiritual communication with Victor beside him at this moment.
No mistake. As a dead soul, I am extremely sensitive to the power of light. The power of light on Anal's corpse is very simple, unlike the state I should have when I wear the Holy Eye for a long time, which is completely different from the last time I met him.
This is abolishing the monster. The first holy object of the church and the Pope holds the palm of his hand is an iron rule. Even if he leaves office unexpectedly, he should be handed over to the new pope. The consul gave me nothing. Could it be that they are insiders? Lucien has always had doubts about Anal's death. He did not even have the Pope who was confident in defeating him. Who could he voluntarily remove the eyes of the divine?
Don't stay there, since the ceremony has been held, please exercise your privileges quickly.”
After being crowned, no one could stop Lucien from checking out Arnal's body. Victor was quite looking forward to what kind of rhetoric the group of red-clothed consuls would use to fool Lucien.
"Barreant, I want to see the body of His Excellency Arnard, who, to me, is like a grandfather.
The old man in the red consul did not object anymore this time. After the order was conveyed, the crowd immediately gave up a way. However, the direction was not the small prayer room where Victor had sneaked into, but the building dedicated to the stopping spirits after his death.
Just as Lucien took a step forward, the stone under his feet suddenly turned white, and the whole city trembled slightly, as if it was about to fall from mid-air.
"Victor!". Realizing the source of this powerful force, Lucien hurriedly looked at the lich beside him, but he found that he looked free and without any panic.
Don't worry, this little bit of force can't kill me. My whole body is composed of sacred objects. Apart from my own will and attacks from sacred objects, no power can disintegrate my current form.
