Crown of Silence

Chapter 506 A new era?

"Another one?"

Sensing Chunjun's sword light, the dozens of auras glanced at him. Soon, someone nearby recognized Yuan Changqing's fluctuations.

"In just ten years, have you broken away from the shackles of the flesh and appeared in the form of the Holy Spirit?"

Laughter came from the blurry light: "I didn't expect that the Soul-Living Sword Chapter could be practiced to this extent in your hands. Isn't there any more talk about taking a person's head with a Thousand-mile Flying Sword?"

"Mr. Liu Si?"

Yuan Changqing's shadow slightly cupped his hands: "Long time no see."

The man known as Liu Si smiled and said nothing.

Among the nine surnames of Dongfang's Dragon Vein, in addition to Yunlou Qingshu who had arrived in the Holy City a long time ago and was sitting at the VIP table to watch the ceremony, there were also Yuan Changqing who had arrived with a flying sword, and Liu Si who had arrived in the form of a fantasy beast. .

Among the nine surnames of Dragon Vein, Liu is famous for her expertise in summoning factions.

It's just that what Liu's lineage is good at constructing is not living creatures, but the rumored ghostly shapes.

Compared with demons that actually exist and are available for reference, invisible ghosts that only exist in legends are more difficult to control.

Demons are alive, but ghosts are dead souls.

This technique is unique in cultivating Yin Qi and raising ghosts in the fragments of one's own consciousness.

It can be said that among the nine surnames of Longmai, the Liu family is the least popular. They deal with coffins and graves every day, feel death, often sleep in the graves with dead bones, and stay with the dead every day.

Some people say: People of the Liu family definitely prefer talking to the dead than to the living.

Once a member of the Liu family appears, they will inevitably bring with them headless ghosts, dead ghosts and other chilling things. It's okay for ordinary people. If they are the elites of the clan, they often create formations of hundreds of ghosts walking at night and evil soldiers crossing the border. Fight out.

Even if they are just passing by, those infected by the animal nature will probably become seriously ill, and those with weaker health will have to stay in bed from now on.

Not to mention, the people of the Liu family all have "surly" written on their faces, making it extremely difficult to deal with them. Even if they are both of the blood of heaven and humans, others can only stay away from them.

At this time, Liu Si went on a patrol on behalf of the family leader, and transferred his consciousness to a ghost that was raised to the level of a fantasy beast. It exuded substantial Yin Qi and miasma in mid-air. If it was not deliberately restrained, it would be possible for several miles around. Everyone inside will be filled with fear and fall into chaos.

Yuan Changqing didn't care what his plan was, anyway, he just came to take a look and then left.

I'm afraid everyone who comes here has the same intention.

Sensing the etheric fluctuations of the Holy Spirits in the sky, several auras rose up in the Holy City, which could be considered as greetings to each other.

At this moment, the Holy City is crowded and noisy, but the sky is not empty as seen by the naked eye, but is very lively.

From the observation of the Central Temple, it was as if there were dozens of suns patrolling in the sky of the Holy City.

After reaching the scepter level, you have entered the path of immortality. If you want to live forever, you must replace your body part by part with etheric organs, and even go through various transformations to place your consciousness on other objects. among.

Each school has its own different methods, which are both superior and inferior to each other, but the effect is the same.

The strong men coming here at this moment are all holy spirits who have turned themselves into ether and turned into nothingness. In order to show their goodwill, they did not bring much power here. More people just relied on various alchemical equipment to focus on the Holy City.

Not only humans, but even various weirdos in the etheric world are watching this human event.

For example, there are giant whales in the clouds, stone birds that can speak human words, eyes that appear as bodies of fire, and so on...

They can even be found on the VIP seats in the Holy City.

In the front row of the VIP seats, there was a figure with the head of a rabbit, wrapped in vague mist.

It speaks the common language skillfully and chats happily with the people around it.

It represents a strange race in the etheric world. They often appear in the material world as merchants, selling strange things produced in the etheric world.

People often see a shop selling strange items in the wilderness. Some people buy a box and take it back. After opening it, they instantly age by dozens of years. There are also people who bought a broken bowl from someone they didn't know when they went to the market. When they got home, they found that they could get a bowl of gold sand by pouring water into it... Most of these strange stories come from them.

These strange creatures in the etheric world cannot be said to be living creatures, but rather like legendary landscape spirits. Their logic and concepts are very different from those of humans, making it difficult to communicate with them. But the things they dig out from the etheric realm are very valuable to musicians, and they even need to be hired as guides when exploring the etheric secret realm.

The one who comes here today is one of the leaders of those merchants. They also have large transactions with the Holy City every year. They are invited here when the new pope ascends the throne.

This time the enthronement ceremony was different from the past. It was held in such a hurry in just a few days, and even the countries were only given a symbolic notice. The envoys sent by various countries were still on their way, and the ceremony had already begun.

Such a sign is not good news for all countries.

In the past, Ludovic was a radical representative in the Holy City, advocating that the Holy City should rule the countries instead of the current lame and ridiculous parliamentary system. His ascension means that a new round of games is about to begin for all countries.

And the contradictions eased by the previous popes will become more acute...

But for Ludovico, this is probably not a problem at all.

Or rather, he doesn't care what the human world will be like, and what system it will survive in...

For God, mortals are meaningless.

The same is true for the incarnation of Ludovico.

In the church, Ludovico sat in front of the mirror and looked at himself.

He wore a white robe, a ring of thorns on his head, and the corners of his clothes were decorated with scriptures from the Holy Scriptures with lapis lazuli patterns. He was graceful, noble, and majestic.

"Do I look holy?" he suddenly asked.

"Yes, Holy See."

Behind him, the attendant who was tidying up his clothes smiled and responded: "Holiness is the crown of the Holy See."

"Wrong."

Ludovico shook his head, "Mortals create holiness, but holiness does not belong to mortals."

He stood up, stopped looking at himself in the mirror, and pushed the door out.

Outside the door, there were countless believers cheering wildly. They looked up at Ludovico on the steps, tears in their eyes, and knelt down to worship.

In the distant papal palace, the huge bell on the bell tower was struck, and the choir sang hymns on the high platform, resounding throughout the city.

In the hollow golden ball, spices were burning, and rich aromas and smoke rose from it.

Two priests held golden balls hanging on silver chains, leading the way in front, leading Ludovik to the holy temple.

Along the way, outside the isolation line of the garrison army, countless believers occupied every gap in the street, kneeling on the ground, worshiping Ludovik's figure as he went away.

An inconspicuous priest walked out of the crowd, showed his certificate, came behind Ludovik, and reported softly:

"Something went wrong."

"Where?"

Ludovik smiled and waved to the crowd.

"Underground Palace, Samuel was injured last night." The priest replied: "Ye Qingxuan somehow took out the shackles, held Samuel hostage and tried to escape, and almost broke into the third floor."

"Then what?"

"It took some effort to catch him, and four masters died."

The priest looked a little flustered: "We suppressed him at the bottom, and three forbidden masters deployed the barrier. This time, it will be absolutely foolproof."

"Don't worry, I don't blame you."

Ludovik sighed softly: "After all, he is Ye Lanzhou's son.

I originally expected him to give me more surprises, maybe I expected too much of him? Forget it, he made a fuss once, and now he should be more obedient. "

The priest replied uneasily: "He is still trying to break the seal. We dare not kill him, there is no way."

"It's just a child's temper."

Ludovico smiled slightly, waved his hand and ordered: "Go and bring the little girl to him to keep him company, he will be obedient."

The priest hesitated for a moment and reported: "But before... Hermes didn't allow us to touch her."

"So what?"

Ludovico looked at him expressionlessly: "The Holy City has changed its owner. Tell him that a waste wants to stay here, at least he must understand some rules."

"Yes."

The priest didn't dare to say more, respectfully said goodbye, and turned around and left after taking ten steps back.

And in the crowd, facing the cheers of the crowd and the shouts of countless people, Ludovico raised his hand and smiled at the believers.

"God bless you, child."

Through the armor of the garrison, he reached out and touched a child who had lost both arms, and said to his mother: "He is unfortunate, but now he has been blessed by the Lord and will be a defender of God in the future."

"Thank God."

The child's parents cried bitterly, knelt in the dust, and worshiped Ludovik's figure.

Ludovik smiled, turned and walked to the central square and the high platform. In the solemn hymn, the bishops bowed their heads respectfully and offered their loyalty to the new controller of the holy city.

"Is this your new leader?"

In the VIP seat, the rabbit-headed ether weird asked the people around him.

"That's right."

Beside him, Yunlou Qingshu nodded: "How does the envoy feel?"

"We don't understand humans, nor do we understand human rules." Weird replied: "He is different from the previous leaders, which confuses me."

"Every leader is different." Yunlou Qingshu said: "This is normal."

"I hope so."

Weird stopped talking.

On the high platform, in the solemn hymns, Ludovico took off his crown of thorns, and then held up the solemn crown.

The lining of the crown was stained with dried blood and had a faint fragrance.

"This is good."

Ludovico whispered softly, smiled, and put the crown on his head.

Then, it became solemn and solemn.

It was like a gathering of all the sacred things in the world.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, he smiled, raised the papal scepter, and showed everyone the two crossed keys on the scepter.

One represents the road to heaven.

One represents the destination of the soul on earth.

Unexpectedly, there were no accidents or setbacks. The coronation ceremony was completed so smoothly, as if it was destined by heaven.

From then on, he was the new pope.

In front of the podium, he smiled, overlooking the lambs he would shepherd in the future, and said calmly:

"A few days ago, we suffered a great misfortune."

"After just a few days, we were reborn from the fire with this misfortune. Just like stone turned into iron in the fire."

"Today, I came here to represent more than just the birth of a new pope."

He paused, smiled, raised his scepter, and solemnly declared: "I want to tell you on behalf of the only God in the world, to tell the people of this world and this world..."

"--A new era is coming!"
