188 Unexpected
Standing on the rooftop of "God's Pity", the pope's loud voice spread.
"I am honored to invite everyone to witness this unprecedentedly important festival of light..."
"527 years ago, the great 'Knight King' Carl united many kind races on the mainland to defeat the lava dragon and establish the great 'Karl Kingdom'... At the beginning of its founding, this Cathedral of Light was immediately built, and its history was as long as the Knight Castle..."
"300 years ago, the four legends worked together to eliminate the Black Dragon and once again saved the mainland in dire straits. Among the four, the legendary priest, the ascetic monk, Samuel Marcellus, made an indelible contribution! The Light Priest's profession he founded saved the lives of countless ordinary people and adventurers."
"184 years ago, the pastors decided to spread the mercy of the goddess of light more widely, so they established the Vatican of Light! To this day, churches of all sizes are spread all over the city and villages. Even the poorest people can enjoy the gifts of the goddess of light for free in the church, bathe in the holy power, relieve illness and relax the soul."
"The great goddess created the continent, and the successor of the power of light—— has been silently guarding the continent."
"However, many people have forgotten that the darkness has never faded..."
"The Great Sage left a prophecy three hundred years ago - 'When the moon reappears, chaos will surely pour into Urenos, and humans and all races are once again facing the age of darkness! The long river of time will be shrouded in fog. Only prophets have eyes to see through the fog, and only prophets can guide all races on the continent toward the only bright future!'"
"Do you remember the moon-multiple night a few months ago? Since then, the sea tribe has reappeared, trolls are flooded, corpses are revived, and powerful dark creatures in various places are constantly growing... All signs show that the prophecy of the Great Sage has come true! The terrible 'Dark Age' is coming!"
"The world has forgotten the warning of the great sage, but the Holy See of Light never forgot its duties. From the night of the moon, the Holy See of Light mobilized all its forces to find the prophets in order to lead mankind and all races through this catastrophe. Today... I am very happy to tell you a good news, the Holy See of Light has succeeded!"
"Prophet, now stand by me!"
The Pope finished speaking in a joyful voice and moved half a step behind, giving up enough conspicuous position to the young man with gold and silver masks beside him!
The latter pursed his lips and did not speak, but looked at the Pope with gratitude and complex gaze.
But the Pope's words fell into the crowd below, which instantly triggered a dead silence...
The huge square was filled with people, and for a second, it became silent.
But then, the crowd burst into a "boom"! After a brief silence, this important news completely ignited the audience!
There are doubters and happy people, but more people are wandering between doubts, constantly asking people around them about what they are arguing about, desperately trying to figure out everything.
On the most luxurious viewing platform, the group of cabinet ministers were also full of surprise.
With the status of this group of people, of course they know the "prophecy of the great sage" and the meaning of the "prophet". The informants placed in the Holy See also had secret news, telling them that the Pope was trying hard to find the prophet... But no one expected that the Pope had announced that he had found it at this time?
The informant said that until this morning, pastors from all over the country were still looking for prophets...
"It's fake..." Among the group of luxuriously dressed ministers, the maritime minister with capable black short hair and appropriately dressed in fine clothes gritted his teeth.
"In order to win back reputation and believers, it is indeed possible to find a puppet to divert attention." The representative of the Palace Mage Group, the thin white-bearded magician, also nodded.
At this time, the Pope stepped forward again, raised his hands high, and slightly calmed the crowd's boiling.
"You may have doubts, but God's servants cannot lie. Article 26 of Genesis, 'Lie is sin, and deception is sin!'"
"Today, at this moment, I assure everyone that the people around me are the prophets of the Great Prophecy!"
"Osborne, take off your mask."
After saying this, the Pope nodded to the blonde young man, after a moment, he took the mask from Osborne and... suddenly threw it into the air!
He smiled slightly, and with his right hand holding the scepter, he bounced his fingers, and a large light shone into the air, projecting a huge image on the white clouds. It was the "gold and silver mask" that magnified countless times. In this way, the mask image was displayed to everyone.
The mask, with the golden left half of the sun and the silver right half of the moon, combined with the strange luster, gives people an extremely holy feeling.
"Some people know this mask, and some people have never seen it, but it doesn't matter..." The Pope's voice was calm, "Today I happened to invite several important guests who know its origin to tell you. Next, please invite Ms. Lehman, Duchess of Borgia in the Cliff City! Please invite Viscount Chapman, the head of the Golden Walls family in Garden City! Please invite General Patton, 'City Wall Crusher'!"
Three names in a row are all extremely prestigious among the people!
People hold their breath.
Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed in conservative but beautiful and elegant, a man with a beer belly wearing a silk jacket and a pipe in her mouth, and an old man sitting on a two-wheeled cart and being pushed by a maid, appeared on several other towers around the Pope.
Before they could speak, the faces of the group of cabinet ministers on the luxurious viewing platform had become very ugly!
There is no doubt that since the Pope invited these people to testify, no matter whether the blonde young man is a real prophet or a false prophet, he may be able to convince a large group of people to believe it...
Sure enough, after the three of them spoke, the crowd quickly became much smaller.
The three big names' speeches were simple - they all admitted that they had seen the masked youth and witnessed the three outstanding achievements of the masked youth!
In the City of Cliff, one force uses powerful advanced light magic to disperse more than 100,000 tides of great corpse ghosts!
In Garden City, I went deep into the underground ruins alone, and by finding and removing the hidden deep Abyss Church stronghold!
In the wilderness of the northern half-orcs, facing the evil shaman composed of one hundred half-orcs, an "sewn limb beast" that is infinitely close to the sub-legacy level, successfully purified it!
These three achievements are already shocking enough... Not to mention, there are more varied rumors in the crowd that are spreading rapidly. Some people claim that they have seen a masked young man destroy a "heartless black ridge sea dragon", and some people say that they have seen him destroy the "dark spider" and so on...
The blonde young man looks like he is only eighteen or nineteen years old.
And if these achievements are true, it would be a bit terrifying for a young man under 20 years old... At the age of eighteen or nineteen, normal people are at most intermediate adventurers!
"Prophet! Please save us!" A believer suddenly screamed in a frenzy among the crowd!
However, not many people agree... more people just cast strange eyes. Although they were a little shocked, their unreasonable outstanding record made them a little difficult to accept for a while.
"I'm Osborne." At this time, the blonde sighed and finally spoke.
He was unwilling to lie, but he remembered the Pope's advice - when the three big men finished speaking, he only needed to show his strength!
Osborne opened his hands, and the mark of light appeared between his eyebrows, and fifteen stars shone brightly! And he also floated slightly into the air, and the holy power of light in his body poured out wildly. He did not use any skills, but simply emitted the holy power!
But from a distance, the blonde young man floating in front of the huge statue's lower abdomen was like a dazzling little sun.
At this time, something strange happened suddenly.
The entire stone statue of the goddess of light that was hundreds of meters high suddenly burst into bright light!
One pair, two pairs... eight pairs of huge translucent light wings slowly emerged from behind the Statue of Light!
Immediately afterwards, they bent forward slowly and closed until they surrounded Osborne's body... In the distance, it looked like the goddess of light gently embraced Osborne with her wings, and her lowered head and smiling mouth were also very similar to the mother's "little bitch" in her arms.
Such a scene!
The founding of the Kingdom of Carl has never happened 527 years ago!
A true wonder!
miracle!
Not to mention the crowds watching the ceremony below... Even the Pope was completely stunned at this moment.
Originally, he just planned to let Osborn show his strength and let everyone see his strong talent for light as an advanced priest at a young age, so as to make the identity of "prophet" more convincing... But the Pope himself did not expect the change in the statue of the goddess!
An absurd thought emerged from the pope's heart.
What a joke? Could it be that the "replacer" I cultivated in advance in order to prevent the prophets was the real prophet? That was a big mistake!
Even the Pope was shocked and could not speak for a moment.
It is conceivable how dumbfounded the others should be...
The whole church was completely silent.
It took a long time.
"Prophet! Great Prophet! Please save us!" The fanatical believer who was the previous one suddenly shouted at the top of his voice again!
And this time, everyone was shocked, as if they were awakened! They actually crawled down one by one...
"prophet!"
"prophet!"
"prophet!"
Chapter completed!
