It's still morning, but as the sun gradually gets higher, the time is getting closer to noon.
As mentioned before, the day when the new king of the empire is officially crowned and ascends the throne is a specially selected auspicious day. And with auspicious days, of course there will also be good times. To be honest, due to some special reasons, when the eldest prince and his luxurious honor guard arrived at the lakeside, they arrived slightly earlier than the scheduled time.
But it doesn¡¯t matter. If you come early, just wait. Safety first
"Your Highness, please board the ship. The Pope and your lords are waiting to greet you on the other side."
"My lords, please come here. Please show your invitation to the ceremony and cooperate with us to conduct a simple identity check. It's just a formality, thank you If you don't have an invitation, the temple would like to apologize in advance. Please follow the requirements of the Bright Knight. Step aside for now, we will find a suitable place for everyone to watch the ceremony around the lake, thank you for your cooperation"
"Haha, you should, you should, thank you for your hard work"
¡¡
The lineup of the luxurious honor guard is indeed luxurious. Princes, nobles, family members, accompanying guards, as well as wealthy businessmen and celebrities who want to watch the ceremony from a close distance so that they can become familiar with each other, or ordinary people who just want to join in the fun, etc., all gather together. The lakeside pier was tightly surrounded.
The number of places to accompany the eldest prince into the temple to watch the ceremony is limited and has been decided long ago. Of course, it is impossible for so many people to board the island. To be precise, most people here do not have invitations to attend the ceremony that represent boat tickets. But since they are already here, it is naturally difficult to drive them away directly.
Fortunately, the temple was well prepared for this, and continuously sent out manpower to guide and separate the two groups of people with invitations and those without invitations in an orderly manner. After inspection, the former was invited to board the big boat on the shore. The latter was directly pulled to the slightly higher mounds around the lake in general. The scene may seem chaotic, but the chaos is orderly and everything is under control.
Of course, this situation occurred mainly because of the abnormal cooperation of everyone. This is an important moment for the new king of the empire, the eldest prince, to be crowned and enthroned. The location is still in the Millennium Temple - under the joint pressure of the two major forces, I believe that even the most stupid person would not dare to make a fuss here and now. What trouble is coming.
soon. About a hundred lucky people accompanied the eldest prince and boarded the boat on the shore in two groups. Amid countless envious, jealous and hateful looks and loud cheers, they set sail and sailed slowly towards the islands in the lake.
Seeing the lake shore being left behind in the distance, the eldest prince and his party, who had arrived safely, finally calmed down the slight anxiety in their hearts. Immediately, the excitement and excitement began to rise uncontrollably
Coronation and enthronement!
Even though the current situation of the Bran Empire is not good, and can even be described as bad, it is after all an ancient empire with a glorious history of thousands of years. And can become the new king and completely control this giant empire. The eldest prince naturally had reason to be excited.
As for the big figures and nobles at the top of the imperial authority who came with them, they also had sufficient reasons to be excited. You can actually board the ship and stand here. Witnessing the coronation and enthronement ceremony of the eldest prince with your own eyes represents the most profound qualification. You must know that if everything goes well, this qualification can at least ensure that their family will continue to prosper for a hundred years!
"If all of you here are not decent people who have seen big scenes and have enough experience, I believe they will definitely raise their arms and shout at this time to vent the ecstasy in their hearts
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Father, I did it! Without your nod of approval and without your confirmation in the edict, I still managed it by relying on my own actionsBrother, what are you doing now? Still alive? Are you still stubbornly resisting in that small southern town? Haha It doesn't matter, I will prove to you that only I can lead this empire and bring supreme glory again! must¡¡
Looking down at the white waves splashing up on both sides of the ship, the eldest prince clenched his fists and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. For a moment, he was full of energy and arrogance¡ª¡ª
Half a sound,
"Welcome, His Majesty, the future king of the empire."
"Thank you very much! Thank you uh, thank you to the Pope and all the bishops for your warm welcome." When the bow of the ship touched the island pier, the old Pope led more than ten red archbishops to come forward to greet him. The eldest prince obviously could not calm down the excitement and ecstasy in his heart immediately, so he was a little rude in etiquette and stuttered a little when he answered.
Fortunately, he didn't react slowly. After a deliberate pause, he readjusted his mentality, looked up at the kind-faced Pope, spread his hands with a slight self-deprecation and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was a little too excited Well, when I was a kid, I After fully understanding the meaning of my identity, I prayed devoutly to the gods many times, praying to the omnipotent gods to protect me and successfully obtain the title of my father.Love, become the crown prince! I'm just the crown prince, but this is the goal I have been working hard for before, but I didn't expect that I would come here so quickly, and in this capacity" Pointing to himself, it was self-evident.
"Oh, that's not surprising." The Pope replied calmly and gently after hearing this: "God the Father is merciful, and He always gives more to believers who pray to Him. Besides, Your Highness, you are enough." effort."
Well, if you include poisoning his father and murdering his younger brother, the eldest prince has indeed worked hard enough and fought hard
Raise your hands and bow, standard believer etiquette: "Thank you, Father God, for your gift."
Seeing this, the Pope smiled and nodded, seeming to be extremely satisfied with the pious gesture shown by the eldest prince. At this time, the red archbishop on the side stepped forward and saluted: "Perhaps your highness already knows that the coronation ceremony will be held on time at noon and will be held in the main hall. Before that, your highness needs to take a shower and change clothes"
After a pause, he looked at the eldest prince who nodded repeatedly, and then said with a smile, "Of course, it's still early before then. So if you don't mind, Your Highness, we can briefly visit the island with you first."
"This is my honor." Of course the eldest prince would not refuse, and nodded with a satisfied smile.
????????????????????????????????????? The above dialogue, which is meant to be mutual compliments, actually represents the current relationship between the temple and the empire - helping each other, and everyone is prosperous!
This is the South, not the North where the foundation of faith was messed up by Tang En. The influence of the temple here. Still as powerful as ever.
The empire needs this kind of powerful influence. Especially in this special time of internal and external troubles.
As for the Temple of Light. Its own nature determines the choices it can make. It is just a religious group, not a political center. Just like a vine, even if the vine is jaw-droppingly powerful, it will always cling to the tree. The so-called choice is just to see which tree is strong enough
And when both parties understand this in their hearts and agree with this tone, everything becomes easier to talk about. What follows is,.
During the greetings here, the accompanying nobles disembarked from the boat one by one. I almost finished the inspection again.
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a secondary inspection. That¡¯s not surprising. After all, there was still some chaos on the other side of the lake just now, and the inspection was more just a procedure, not careful. But now that we have actually arrived at the Temple General Assembly, the situation is naturally different.
When the time comes, Tang En's identity as an assassin has already become famous all over the world, and his superb level of disguise is even more known to everyone. The intelligence department here in the temple is not just for nothing, so they are naturally prepared for this. Therefore, including the eldest prince, everyone who came from the capital counted one by one. Everyone must undergo careful and tedious checks to confirm their identity before disembarking
Fortunately, the results are good. After careful inspection, there were no errors.
???????????? Then, under the introduction of the eldest prince, the accompanying nobles came forward one by one to salute and meet with the senior officials of the temple. There was inevitably another round of polite greetings, let¡¯s not mention them for now. Immediately at the invitation of the latter, a group of people started to visit the temple headquarters while chatting and laughing
To be honest, there is really nothing to say about the scenery. The temple is just an island. The nobles who live a good life are well-informed and will not be surprised by this. Of course, no matter whether you are interested or not, you will always have to do superficial work, so the atmosphere is not bad
After a while, the group visited the center of the island and turned around the corridor. A huge figure sculpture carved from flawless jade suddenly came into view. It seemed to reach the sky and the earth, and it was majestic and majestic.
"That's the statue of Father God incarnate! Well, I want to pray in front of that god. Is that okay?" The eldest prince's eyes flashed upon seeing this, and he suddenly turned around and asked.
The Pope nodded happily: "Of course, God the Father will not reject the prayers and worship of any believer." After a pause, he looked up at the sky, "That's also the direction of the main hall. It's getting late. After His Highness finishes praying, The coronation ceremony can almost begin."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Pope." Bowing in salute, the eldest prince shrugged and smiled, "I am not afraid of your laughter, Pope. I have been really under a lot of pressure recently The current situation in the empire is not optimistic, and the barbarian army on the north bank of the Lenau River is ready to move. According to the analysis from the military department, there should be some changes in the other side in the near future! I think it will be another fierce battle by then, alas"
The Pope still looked calm and comforted: "Victory will belong to the light! Your Highness, don't worry. According to the agreement, the temple will fully support you and your army, guard the Lenau River, and never give the evil heretics from the north a chance. Dyeing the land in the south.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the best thing, I¡¯ll represent you?The Empire thanks the Pope and your Lordships for their support. "After a pause, the eldest prince looked at the temple complex in the distance as if casually, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I wonder how Xia Wei'an the temple traitor is doing now? "
The pope raised his white eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and finally understood what the eldest prince really meant, and replied with a smile, "Still in custody, nothing unusual." Immediately, he turned his palm and pointed at his feet, "This is the Temple General Assembly, blessed by God. Earth. No matter in the past, present, or future, no one can cause chaos within the sight of Father God!"
"Haha, that's good, that's good" They are all smart people. If there is any loss of face, there is no need to put it on the table. After hearing the confident promise made by the Pope himself, the shadow of crisis that had been lurking in the heart of the eldest prince finally disappeared completely.
Yes, where is this place?
The Temple Association! The thousand-year foundation is no joke. If we only talk about the number of masters, no force on the mainland dares to say that it can overwhelm the temple. In other words, if there is a safe place on this continent, it must be the Temple of God!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Assassin Tang En, who has never dared to show up or even try to sneak into the temple, will always make some noise despite his harsh words a few days ago, hasn't this been proven?
Completely at ease, the eldest prince laughed and waved his hand in a false invitation, "Your Holiness, please Oh, be careful of the stone steps." The towering statue was not far away, and the main hall was even closer to where everyone was, only separated by a long road. It's just a stone path with long railings.
Step on the steps and walk up the stone path. Perhaps because of his mood, the eldest prince suddenly found that the surrounding scenery became more pleasing to the eye.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Of course, the bluestone path and white jade railings are not very attractive, but the large ornamental ponds on both sides of the stone path are different. The crystal clear light green water, the exquisite rockeries in various shapes, the free coming and going of ornamental fishespecially the unique variety of water lilies that are different from other places. The fluffy green leaves cover the sky and the sun, and the holy lotuses are proud and proud. The blooming atmosphere makes people look at it and feel that it can only be viewed from a distance, but not played with. It is truly beautiful.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this place?" Seeing the eldest prince beside him slow down his steps a little, and then following his gaze, the Pope couldn't help but smile knowingly, simply stopped, moved a few steps sideways to the railing, and asked.
If the Pope knew the art of prophecy and knew what happened next, he would definitely not have taken these few steps, come to the railing, let alone ask this question - it is a pity that he claims to be the spokesperson of the gods, but he After all, he is not a god!
"This is the world-famous temple scene, the Holy Land Water Lotus, right?" The eldest prince sighed, stroking his palms, "It's really beautiful!"
"Haha" After hearing this satisfied admiration, the Pope, who was already in love with this scene, couldn't help but nodded happily, smiled softly, opened his mouth and was about to say something, when his turbid pupils suddenly shrank,
Boom¡ª¡ª
The water splashed and the lotus broke!
The god of death is coming in an instant¡ª¡ª
