187 Light Festival
These precious isolated books are undoubtedly the collection of the Holy See.
Faced with Osborne's rejection, the Pope suddenly smiled bitterly, and let Osborne stay in the underground hall of the Cathedral of Light all day to practice. After all, there was a little harm. This child read too many books and had few contacts with the outside world. His thoughts were too simple. The dogmas in the book seemed to him an insurmountable code!
"Osborn, have you ever thought about it? What would happen to this world if the Holy See disappeared?" The pope sighed and looked patiently at the handsome young man and said, "The chaos has poured into the mainland. You are very clear about this. Some time ago, powerful 'dark creatures' emerged everywhere, making countless strong people run around in a hurry. Even you put on a mask and secretly went out to perform tasks much more than before..."
"And this is just the beginning! Compared with more terrifying 'dark creatures' in the future, those trolls wandering around are just the overtures. The evil wizard who hides in the canyon to create trolls is just a jumping clown on the eve of the chaotic era of the entire continent! People think that the Holy See is inaction, but it is just because we know more about what is the most important... we must find a prophet to save the entire continent!"
"The Holy See of Light has never escaped, but rather a group of people standing at the forefront of the catastrophe..."
"It's a pity that now, the Cabinet Parliament has made some small moves, inciting the people, boycotting the Holy See, excluding and persecuting churches and clergy in various places... This is a huge crisis. If the Holy See cannot survive, then when the real chaos breaks out, there will be no barrier of the Holy See, and the innocent people who die will be tens of thousands of times more dead than they are now!"
"And you, Osborne, you are facing such a difficult choice now... If you stand up and act as a prophet for the time being, the Holy See will survive and thousands of innocent people will be saved; and if you refuse, the Holy See will no longer be the Holy See will be in the future when chaos comes. At that time, people can only ask for blessings on their own, and the dead will be a hundred times more than they are now!"
"The essence of light is kindness, mercy, and saving the world... If you commit sins alone, but you can save thousands of innocent people, I believe the goddess will forgive you..."
After saying such a long story, the Pope stopped speaking, but left Osborne some time to think.
And the young man was in deep entanglement at this moment, and was a little helpless!
"You are right, save thousands of innocent people..." After a while, he seemed to agree with the Pope's words, but his face was still quite entangled, with a little red glowing on his fair neck, "But deception... it is indeed what the goddess does not allow. Father, I can't do it, really can't do it..."
"Then I'll do it."
The Pope looked at Osborne's difficult face and sighed, "From today on your own, you will keep silent, and I will tell you all the lies. In this way, you will not have to commit the crime of deception..."
"Father!" Osborn looked at the Pope in shock.
"I will tell the world that you are a prophet, and I will tell you all the words that may violate Genesis. You just need to stand quietly by your side." The Pope walked over slowly and gently stroked the young man's fluffy blonde hair. "Child, you are pure, and your faith cannot be defiled, so let me be this evil man."
"No... Father, you are not a wicked person. It is truly great that you are willing to make such a sacrifice!" Osborne's voice was filled with crying voice.

One day later.
The headquarters of the Holy See, the Cathedral of Light, located in the capital of Carl, announced a grand festival of light!
It is a grand religious ceremony.
Even though the cabinet had begun to attack churches in various places, the Holy See's Light is still a huge figure for the time being, one of the two pillars of the kingdom, with great influence! After just one day of preparation, more than 90% of the important figures of the entire Karl court and representatives of major forces were invited.
At the same time, the Holy See also invited countless civilian believers to watch the ceremony. Just looking at the crowded crowds outside the cathedral, you will know that there are no less than 100,000 civilian believers gathered here...
The pastors of the Moon Church of the Sun, which belongs to the Holy See of Light, and the fanatical believers of the Inquisition, as long as those in the capital of Carl, all of them will be present!
Even many believers from other parts of the kingdom were taken to the capital of Karl with purple gold flying boats and rushed to participate in this light festival, just like a pilgrimage.
The sun quickly rose to noon, when the sun was at its strongest.
The Pope, the person who claimed to be closest to the Goddess of Light, appeared on the rooftop of the highest steeple tower in the cathedral.
The Cathedral of Light is a "retro" shape, and the hollow area stands the largest statue of the goddess of light on the entire continent.
The rooftop where the Pope stood was very delicate, just in front of the navel of the "Statue". Since the Statue was a posture of holding hands in front of the chest and bowing his head to pray, it looked like she was smiling and looking down at the Pope. When people looked up, the huge stone statue of the Goddess of Light connected to the sky and the earth was exactly the background of the Pope.
There is no doubt that such a scene naturally makes people feel respectful.
The goddess of light created the Urenos continent, and was the creator of all races and the only Creation God. This is recorded in the history of many intelligent races, and there is no doubt that the pope appeared in such a position as a confirmation of the identity of the "spokesperson of God".
However, among the crowd, on the most luxurious viewing platform, some of the luxuriously dressed people sitting in the middle area sneered at the Pope's behavior of using the goddess's colossus to create momentum and looked dissatisfied.
They were the cabinet ministers who surrounded the little king of Carl XVI...
Only they know best that the Holy See of Light was trying to change something and struggle for such a large festival at this time.
However, the indifferent attitude of the Holy See in the face of the troll disaster in the early stage has really hurt the hearts of many believers. It is too late to try to save them at this time?
It was not until the Pope that another thin and delicate blond figure appeared next to him, who was wearing a mysterious gold and silver mask and a pure white robe without any marks that the cabinet ministers vaguely realized something was wrong.
The rooftop of that tower is known as "the mercy of God"! Except for the popes who can preach there, even kings or sub-legendary priests are not qualified to climb up.
Who is that blonde young man? Why can he stand beside the pope?
However, before the cabinet ministers could react, some people were already exclaiming among the believers from all over the world who came to participate in the Light Festival.
"The goddess is on it, that mask... I've definitely seen it somewhere!"
"I have seen it too! I am a entourage of the Iron Bird Bogia family. This mysterious man helped us repel a terrible tide of corpse ghosts! His mask image is still engraved on the wall of merit in the Cliff City!"
"I'm from Haiyan City. I have seen this mysterious man purify a heartless black ridge sea dragon and save dozens of fishing boats! The black ridge sea dragon is a terrifying monster close to the sub-legacy level..."
"Stop talking about it. The Jincheng Wall family still offers a public reward for this person, saying that as long as he appears, he will immediately offer 100,000 Jintata Towers! He also betrothed a noble girl as a concubine to thank him for helping to remove the stronghold of the Abyss Church in Garden City! Even those who can provide his whereabouts can receive a bounty of 100 Jinta Towers..."
