The emperor of the Deschanel Empire, "Dechius the Birth", is said to have been born as a sacred event. His mother, Theodora Domitius Sicion, did not The uterus, but the mouth, because Diodora's amniotic water broke that day and surged up along the intestines. Unprotected, Decius had to follow the direction of the amniotic fluid, so he swam into his mother's esophagus. , and swam out, by the way, using breaststroke. God knows how he learned breaststroke. When the mother vomited out Decius, the future emperor, there was a nun standing next to her. So, under the witness of the latter, the amniotic fluid became the holy water for baptizing Decius.
This is almost a miracle.
The emperor's mother, Theodora, was a traditional aristocrat of the Deschanel family. She had the noble blood of the West Ken family. She held seats in the Senate for generations. There was an emperor before Dachius, who is now the emperor. second.
Today, the connection between the pope and this traditional Eastern emperor is still inseparable. According to unwritten historical customs, when the pope consecrates his office on Rita Salen Island, the Cathedral of the Nativity needs to send a messenger to the emperor. In addition to bringing good news, it also required the emperor's oath to defend the papal authority with all his strength.
The pope had already experienced three emperors, and when faced with the third emperor Decius, the latter's age-defying cunning often made the pope feel powerless, and it was often difficult to communicate with him.
However, the fact that another person was canonized as a saint forced the Pope to face this difficult matter again.
So Daikius, who was high in the Blue Palace, received this letter.
Facing the letter, Decius didn't sleep all night.
After this widely praised emperor personally confirmed this matter in the Pope's handwriting, in addition to thanking and praising the Lord, the only thing he thought of was to once again call on the entire world of true religion to form an army of truth and start a vigorous campaign to restore the Holy Land. .
"Deschanel is different from before." The emperor stood up and said to himself.
Indeed, as he said, after the hard work of three emperors, the empire has repeatedly won the battles with the tribes of the Giant King World. The northern border has become farther and farther away from generation to generation, and domestic reforms have continued. This has lasted for thousands of years. The ancient empire is now full of vitality.
On the contrary, the Sola Empire, which had been reborn for hundreds of years, was built with the help of the alliance of kings. However, as the old holy king gradually faded away, it became weaker and weaker year by year, so that it lost the holy land of the Lord and commemorated St. Venaka. The city of Na fell into a city of wisdom desecrated by the pagans.
The emperor, who had an idea, immediately decided to summon Patriarch Deschanel, not in the palace, but in the royal garden. He had to test the latter's idea first.
The lush royal garden with elk escaping everywhere,
A middle-aged man wearing hunting clothes and purple robes stood on the hillside. Next to him stood a man of similar age wearing a monk's robe. He was the youngest patriarch in Deschanel's history - John Yoo. Lius.
Emperor Daikius drew his bow string and pointed towards the looming elk among several big trees. The wind blew the grass, covering their tracks.
"Your Majesty, in addition to you today, His Royal Highness the co-ruling emperor will also summon me." John said respectfully. In front of this enlightened Decius, he did not have so many constraints.
"Teach the deputy emperor to wait all morning."
Decius said, shooting an arrow towards the dense forest.
The tip of the arrow pierced the sky and trembled, and when it fell into the distance, the howling of the elk could be heard.
"Even if the deputy emperor has the patience to wait all morning, I still have to go back to the church at noon." John said when he saw the emperor picked up the dagger and was about to go up to kill the trophy.
"Yes, it is your bounden duty to serve the Lord and the gods." The emperor stopped and immediately asked: "John, when were you so busy that you didn't even have time to hunt with me?"
"While I am determined to serve the Lord and the gods," John replied, "Speak to me quickly, Your Majesty. You are not wearing your golden leaf crown."
After receiving John's reply, the emperor no longer hesitated and said directly: "John, I think you already know that someone in the Holy Land has been canonized as a saint, praising our Lord."
"By the grace of the Lord, by her mercy." After reciting two verses, John nodded without hesitation, raised his hands and made a ring ceremony, and said: "This is a more important event than your coronation and enthronement. , how could I not know."
"Today, the bishop of Rita Salen Island confirmed this matter with me." The emperor said.
The bishop of Rita Salen Island naturally refers to the current Pope. In addition to my great father, the human spokesperson of the Lord and the gods, there are also titles such as: Holy Father, Archbishop of all people, Supreme Father, etc.
"This is not surprising, the pope has always been a pious and learned man," John said.
John and Decius had known each other long before the coup. The former endorsed him in the name of Patriarch Deschanel and persuaded the gatekeepers to surrender on the night of the coup, allowing Decius to He broke into the palace without bloodshed, gouged out the eyes of the late emperor and his eldest son, and imprisoned him.
Afterwards, John defended Decius as the Patriarch in the Senate and the Imperial Congress, and publicly pardoned the emperor's sin of murder.
After Decius was crowned, John only asked him for a small promise.
"The key is not the Bishop of Ritasaren Island, my friend." The emperor turned around and looked directly at John, "but the Holy Land."
As the words fell into his ears, John pricked up his ears and kept performing the ring salute.
"It's time for us to go to recover the Holy Land." Emperor Daikius said slowly, with a serious look on his face.
John performed the circle of worship one after another, saying "Lord" and "Lord" incessantly.
After a while, John reconfirmed the determination in the emperor's eyes, took a deep breath, and asked in a low voice: "My emperor, are you talking about the Army of Truth?"
"It is the Army of Truth, those barbaric bandits and the believers who restored the Holy Land..." the emperor said.
"Lord, the barbarians are more difficult to deal with than the pagans." John couldn't help but utter this proverb, and then recited a few verses, then stared at the emperor feverishly, "When will you call on those barbarians and accept the Lord's scroll?" His Majesty the Emperor of Gu, born Daikius!"
The emperor gathered up the bow in his hand and put it aside, and put the dagger back into its sheath, letting the vultures in the sky peek at the dying elk on the grass.
"After the Senate passes the sacred resolution," the emperor also performed a ring ceremony and continued: "John, I promised, under the witness of the Lord, that I will definitely clear the door to the Holy Land. Now dozens of For the first time this year, someone was canonized. I think the Lord is already urging me to fulfill my promise to you."
"Praise her." John took a deep breath again and kept doing the circle salute. "The Lord's arrangements are really unpredictable."
