The Imperial Army did take advantage of this time to explore the interior of the Holy See.
The villa where the Holy See is stationed is not arranged by the Royal Capital, but is the territory that originally belongs to the Holy See of Light. The villa is located on the edge of the Royal Capital, covering an extremely large area, and is usually used to brew wine.
Because of the rebellion launched by Prince Lille, the imperial army went around to suppress the rebels.
Afterwards, some people wanted to enter the villa to investigate under the pretext of searching, others disguised themselves as rebels and sneaked into the villa, and some imperial troops openly stated that they needed to go in and conduct a search.
Except that the other villages were harassed.
Some people also came from the Royal Capital Church.
The church did not restrict those people from entering and searching, but when they wanted to approach the church temple, Catalina stood up.
The reputation of the Inquisition.
It blocked everyone very directly.
No one even tried to fight for it.
Because, even though the Heretic Tribunal appears only a few times in history, every time they appear, they are bound to be accompanied by bloodshed.
What's more, among these incidents, there are many vague rumors involving the San Valo royal family, which undoubtedly portrays the existence of the Heretic Tribunal as more mysterious and dangerous.
They are not crazy.
They just lurk quietly in the darkness, like ferocious beasts waiting for an opportunity to strike.
If you don't come out, you'll be dead. If you come out, you'll be killed.
The vengeance of the Holy See of Light, especially the vengeance of the Heretic Tribunal, is strong and terrifying.
In addition to the Holy See of Light, the Imperial Army seems to be probing the thoughts of other forces, violently intruding into the territories of many wealthy and noble families.
All night long.
The royal capital was extremely lively.
It was not until dawn that he gradually rested.
…
…
Xu Shuo stayed up all night again.
He thought about it carefully.
It seems that since I came to this script, I have been either rushing all day or staying up all night. This workload is simply more terrifying than when I stayed up late and worked overtime.
Also worth mentioning.
At dawn, a message finally came from the Knights of the Sun.
They had already arrived outside the royal capital.
However, because they had not rested for several days and nights, and were trapped in the valley and consumed a lot of energy, the knights were all a little depressed.
Therefore, they temporarily stayed in a forest outside the royal capital city, intending to repair it for a while.
This is not bad news.
After Xu Shuo read the news, he stood up from the throne, tilted his head and stretched his shoulders that had been lying on his side for a long time, and then walked straight out.
Catalina, who was sleeping on the steps, noticed his movement and opened her eyes sleepily.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Going out to crown the new king."
"oh……"
Catalina responded and planned to continue sleeping.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she realized something and woke up with a jolt.
Crown a new king?
Is it time?
After Catalina came back to her senses, she saw that the young man's back was almost disappearing, so she quickly got up, patted her cheek, lifted up her skirt and trotted after him.
But when she came to the top of the temple and looked through the window, she saw that the sky outside seemed to be still very early.
Catalina thought drowsily.
The coronation ceremony seems to be at noon?
But at this time, several believers had already entered the temple in an orderly manner, holding different exquisite clothes in their hands and standing outside the hall of the temple with their heads bowed respectfully.
Xu Shuo had already entered the hall and allowed the believers to bathe and change his clothes.
The coronation ceremony for the new king.
Regardless of whether it is sincere or pretentious, the pope's dress must not be too careless. After all, this is the facade that represents the entire Holy See of Light.
So dressing up is a must.
But this coronation ceremony was different from the past.
So at most, you can wear a simple outfit that is convenient for movement under the fancy dress, but no matter how you look, you must look good.
Xu Shuo yawned.
He obviously didn't feel tired after being busy these past few nights. He even used a magic to wake himself up when he came up just now.
As a result, this group of people are now struggling to organize their outfits.
He felt very sleepy for no reason.
It's not just him.
Catalina was also taken away to get dressed.
However, as a secret envoy of the Heretic Tribunal, Catalina was much lighter than Xu Shuo no matter how well-dressed she was. At most, the nun's uniform was a bit more gorgeous.
Time passes slowly.
Three poles in the sun.
Just grooming took several hours.
So at this moment, Catalina finally knew why this person said he was going to be crowned so early in the morning - the coronation, which started with washing, did indeed start early in the morning.
Catalina dozed off.
It ends there.
It was simply stuck in time.
She looked up drowsily, and her eyes were flashed by a piece of golden light coming out of the golden light.
The attire of the Pope of Light is white and gold.
The silver-white bottom robe will reflect the bright gold under the light. The clothes are embroidered with complicated patterns, like some mysterious magic patterns. On the shoulders of the clothes, there is a bright golden shawl with shining background, and the edges are hanging. White tassel.
And in this gold and silver attire, the only different color embellishment is the floor-length dark red cloak draped behind her.
The cloak has a silver surface outwards, with long silver-white hair hanging on it.
The priest's robe is of a straight-cut style, with many exquisite and gorgeous ornaments piled on it, making it sparkling when walking.
But probably because the young man is very tall, the overall appearance does not look too bloated.
Catalina stared for a long time.
Then she spoke slowly: "You look just like the Golden Square last night. It's called the Golden Square, right?"
Xu Shuo glanced at her after hearing this.
Then he looked at the priest standing next to him.
The teaching attendant immediately stepped forward, pulled off the golden brocade cloth in his hand, and then handed him a brand new sun crown.
Xu Shuo put it on himself and adjusted it until it felt comfortable.
This sun crown is still half-covered.
But it is even more luxurious and gorgeous than the one the pope usually wears, with carvings, gold and jade, and the symbol of the sun crown is even twice as big as his head.
Look from afar.
It's like wearing a sun on your head.
After wearing the sun crown.
Xu Shuo turned his head and looked at Catalina again.
Catalina: "..."
Catalina thought for a moment: "It looks like this church."
At this time, the teaching attendant respectfully handed over a golden scepter.
The scepter is about one foot long, and the top is also the sun crown symbol of the Holy See of Light, but there is also a suspended light ball in the center that is slowly rotating, emitting a gentle and bright shimmer.
Xu Shuo held the Scepter of Light.
The light of the scepter floated slightly, and for a moment it seemed like the light of heaven and earth, and the invisible power of faith spread to the surroundings.
Catalina was speechless.
She thought to herself, even if she was the Messenger of Dawn, she wouldn't be dressed like the God of Light in this world, would she?
The Pope of Light at this moment is like the supreme and noble God of Light.
Sacred, solemn, sublime and great.
Catalina: ...I feel a little sore.
…
…
The Holy See of Light is already waiting outside.
Catalina is still accompanying Xu Shuo.
However, Catalina no longer has to hold his hair today.
Because the ingenious acolyte specially helped the Pope to braid his hair shorter. Although the long silver hair still hung down to his calves, at least it would no longer drag the floor.
This time the Holy Seat of Light.
It's open air.
The Pope sat solemnly on the golden throne, and the emissary of the Inquisition stood beside him with a stiff face, accompanied by a trumpet.
The Holy See was raised from the church.
The road leading to Fort Tantino was lined with dense crowds of spectators.
In the royal capital, even ordinary people can dress up on such a day. They hold flower baskets in their hands and scatter flowers along the streets with smiles on their faces.
Catalina stared intently.
But in fact, with countless people watching, her whole body was too stiff to move.
Unlike the person next to him, he actually had the leisure to tilt his head slightly, holding the sun crown scepter in one hand and resting his elbow on the armrest of the Holy Seat to support his head.
If it's not the occasion, it's really inappropriate.
If the priest hadn't been watching from behind.
Catalina doubted that this person could just cross his legs out of boredom.
In fact, just tilt your head.
The priests' eyes were already darkened.
Catalina twitched the corner of her mouth, the white gauze hanging down from the crown of her hat blurring her face, so she quietly squinted at the surrounding situation.
"Yesterday I saw them eating melon seeds and watching the fun. Why did they learn to spread flowers to welcome them today?"
Catalina complained in a low voice.
Xu Shuo slightly curved his mouth.
"You have to do the whole thing when acting."
His lips didn't move, but his voice reached Catalina's ears clearly.
The Royal Capital is the only place where the Holy See cannot penetrate faith.
It can be said that the Holy See has not yet been able to determine what the people of this place think of the Holy See.
Whether you are watching a show or watching a show, you are welcome in the aisles.
This can all be disguised.
It all depends on the will of those in power.
…
The Holy See walked very slowly.
It only took a quarter of an hour to get from Biezhuang to Tantinoburg last night.
But today it took a full hour during the day.
The coronation ceremony was also held at Fort Tantino.
As the royal palace of the empire, Fort Tantino was not only the residence of the king, but also the meeting place for imperial administration. It was also the largest library in the entire empire.
According to the coronation process of previous generations of kings, the new king should go to Guangming City Church in person.
Although today is different from the past.
But even if you don’t go to Guangming City.
Logically, the coronation ceremony should be held in the Royal Capital Church.
However, in a euphemistic tone and a strong stance, Walder XVIII expressed that he wanted to place the coronation in Fort Tantino. If it was inconvenient for the Pope, he could give the blessing in the church.
Listen to what these words are.
The Pope of Light has already arrived at the royal capital.
Now it's just a matter of changing to Fort Tantino for the coronation.
Is it possible that they can continue to refuse?
The priest would sneer and agree.
…
…
At noon.
Prince Simon is all dressed up.
He stood in front of the Gate of Pallas in Tantinople, dressed in the attire of the new king, with a tragic look on his face.
There is no sense of crowning joy.
When his brother Lille visited last night, Prince Simon, who was already in Tantinoburg, did not suffer any harm, but he was still frightened.
At midnight.
He once again plucked up the courage to look for Walder XVIII.
Prince Simon tremblingly explained his incompetence and cowardice to his father. He said that he did not want to become the new king, and it did not matter to whomever his father passed the throne to.
However, his father said only one thing to him.
That lets Prince Simon know.
There is no way for me to turn back.
Before Dawn.
Prince Simon said to his wife: "You don't need to participate in my coronation ceremony. After dawn, you can leave the capital with Hora and Ivan. Father will not stop you."
Simon has been a prince for more than thirty years.
Now they have both children.
He never thought he would become a king.
Just a pity.
The royal family of San Varro has no blood ties.
Accompanied by a horn from afar.
Prince Simon came back to his senses, took a deep breath, sniffed, and stood at the Gate of Pallas watching the arrival of the Holy Seat of Light.
Gate of Pallas.
This is a door to victory.
After the battle between humans and elves thousands of years ago, the first generation of kings who established the San Varro Empire was crowned king by the Pope of Light in front of the Gate of Pallas.
But since then.
No new king could be crowned at the Gates of Pallas.
Prince Simon is now the second.
But looking at the bright Holy Seat slowly approaching, he seemed to see a huge guillotine striking at his head.
Four sides of the Gate of Pallas.
There are countless wealthy nobles who are ready to make a move, and they are royal brothers and sisters who either grit their teeth or look covetously at him.
They were still looking glamorous, and they seemed unaware that the danger behind them was approaching.
The Holy See of Light arrives at the Gate of Pallas.
But he didn't stop.
The Holy Seat, supported by dozens of people, climbed up the steps until it reached the highest point of the Gate of Pallas, and then descended from the high stand, where the sun fell on the shining sun crown.
Then two rows of knights stood in front of the holy throne, and the sacred and solemn Pope of Light was lifted up by the maid beside him.
There was a burst of cheers.
In addition to the nobles below the Gate of Pallas, there were also crowds coming with the Holy See further away. They threw the flowers high, as if cheering for the coronation of the new king.
The Pope of Light held the scepter and looked down at everyone, with brilliant light falling from the sky.
I couldn’t tell whether it was sunlight or the radiance of the gods.
Simon didn't know for a moment.
This is his own coronation after all.
Or the coronation of the Pope of Light?
But this sudden thought really made him shiver with shock and make his skin crawl.
"The light shines brightly."
The Pope on the high platform touched his forehead lightly with his fingers, and his cold and solemn voice seemed to be spoken by him, but also seemed to be blown by the breeze and spread to the minds of everyone present.
In an instant, the Gate of Pallas fell silent.
This is a very strange power.
Prince Simon felt his heart became quieter.
"Your Highness Simon."
The Pope's voice sounded again.
Prince Simon suddenly came back to his senses. He immediately stood towards the Gate of Pallas, and then solemnly walked towards the steps step by step under the singing and cheering of the royal priests.
Walder XVIII was not present at the coronation ceremony.
But no one seems to care about this issue.
Because this coronation ceremony was extremely simple, so simple that it seemed like a joke.
Only the Grand Duke of the Council guided him on what to do, guiding him slowly to the Gate of Pallas, then stopped three feet away from the Pope of Light, knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
Prince Simon felt as if his head had been put under a guillotine.
Not waiting for the crown to fall.
Is waiting for the guillotine to fall.
He stared closely at the lime-white ground, his heart was beating wildly, his thoughts were in a mess, and he was also in a mess.
at this time.
A shout came.
"Wait a moment!"
…
The code made me cough to death today.
My colleague was even worse, she lost her voice.
