please don't believe me

"Father Wayne, condemned for heresy!"

Faster than Wayne is the Pope!He stood up with a loud and majestic voice, and the majestic posture of holding up the staff was extremely oppressive; then the staff swiped in mid-air, pointing directly at Father Wayne!

Wayne seemed to be taken aback by his sudden action. Before he could react, the archbishops had already said: "Yes!"

The Pope's decree, the Holy See agrees, this judgment has been confirmed.

Wayne, who was staring blankly at first, suddenly passed out, and his body limp and fell on the red carpet.Dai Bowen waited for a while, but the system did not report any errors. It seems that this Wayne is indeed the "host".

Sigh... idiot.Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows and canceled the customer service 00X judgment process.At the critical moment just now, he also called out the system's judgment procedure; if the Pope didn't react fast enough and was dragged into the water by Wayne, Dai Bowen would be the oriole behind the mantis.

Looking at the figure that fell on the ground, Dai Bowen guessed that the other party might have been sent back to the other end of the timeline, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

After being switched, the original owner's body will fall down directly?Will the original owner come back?

Dai Bowen was quite interested in watching how the current mess would be dealt with after the original owner came back.It's a pity that he didn't have this chance. The archbishop had already come over to test Wayne's breathing, and after confirming that there was no serious problem, he was carried out.

The Pope sat back on the throne: "Let the Holy See announce today's ruling to the public."

The archbishop next to him nodded yes.

Witnessing a trial, the quasi-bishops who were bluffed by Wayne's shock were still a little shocked.The archbishop walked across to Dai Bowen, and patted the shoulder of one of the bishops-to-be, who obviously hadn't recovered from his senses, expressing consolation beyond words.Then he glanced at the other quasi-bishops separately, and after nodding with them to confirm that it was all right, he walked to the Pope's seat and talked with the Pope in a low voice.

After a while, a knight who carried people out turned back into the auditorium: "Pope, all archbishops and priests, the time for the ceremony is coming soon, please move."

Immediately the quasi-bishops stood up, followed by the other two archbishops who were still seated, and finally, Pope Sarnlich also stood up from his throne.The archbishop who had whispered to him earlier took his staff and handed it over with both hands.After the pope took it, he lifted it upright in front of the right and walked down the steps.

The golden staff symbolizes authority, the stern and solemn expression is hidden under the veil, and the cassock and robes are slightly swaying with the steps.The two doors of the auditorium were simultaneously pushed open by the holy knights, and the Pope set out from here to the auditorium where the ceremony was held.Not far behind him, followed by three equally solemn archbishops and four quasi-bishops.

Passing through a hallway and a hallway with a glazed dome, everyone came to a wide corridor.This is one of the main corridors of the cathedral, and it is decorated more luxuriously and sacredly due to the coming of the pilgrimage day.Carpets with red background and gold pattern are spread all over the end, the walls are decorated with portraits of successive popes painted by famous artists, and on the white marble decoration booth near the wall, there are exquisitely carved biblical figures.Even though there are high windows for lighting, long-lasting candles are quietly burning on the exquisitely scattered candlesticks.The soft firelight can not only play the role of embellishment, but also emit a light fragrance, which makes people feel calm.

Here, the four quasi-bishops bid farewell to the pope.They were about to be blessed, and they had other things to prepare, and the direction of entering the auditorium was not in line with the Pope.

Pope Sarnlich said goodbye to them gently face to face, and said a word or two of encouragement.

The last one is Dai Bowen.

When approaching the Pope, even through the veil, Dai Bowen could feel the almost focused gaze.He groaned inwardly, but didn't show it on his face.

He had a face-to-face ceremony with the Pope, one left, one right, and another left.The soft veil rubbed against his cheeks, and the man's hot breath was right next to his ears. Even though he couldn't see it, he still felt that the man was smiling.

As if to test his conjecture, when he touched and left for the last time, a man's very soft laugh came clearly from his right ear.

Dai Bowen squinted his eyes where the Pope couldn't see, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then disappeared.

"You are one of the contributors to what happened today." The pope laughed softly when he left Dai Bowen's ears.

"Overrated." Dai Bowen faced him face to face, looked at him through the veil, and replied in a low voice, "I only did what I should do."

The pope's eyes changed slightly, but it was not obvious under the veil: "No, what you have done is better than I expected."

Dai Bowen pretended to be puzzled: "Huh?"

"We have a tacit understanding, don't we?" The Pope whispered meaningfully, "Isn't it great to meet the expectations of both parties in this way?"

Dai Bowen smiled slightly: "If you are talking about blessing me to become a bishop later, I can only say that I am really looking forward to it."

He lowered his head while talking, making a gesture of bowing his head to send the Pope off.Their conversation was already a little longer than the others, and Dai Bowen didn't want to cause any complications.

The pope smiled vaguely, and left with the people first.

Dai Bowen raised his head and looked at the direction the other party was leaving, his eyes gradually became sharper.

He... got it?

Pilgrimage Day, to put it bluntly, is a bit like a super-large-scale Sunday.

The auditorium was full of seats, and there were people from the Holy See, representatives from various provincial churches, and more "special believers" such as the royal family, nobles, and prominent people.There are also some true believers who, based on their various experiences, were arranged to sit in the auditorium under the chance meeting.

Of course, the royal family and several prospective bishops who were about to be promoted sat at the forefront.The representatives of the royal family may have been greeted in advance, and seeing that there were only seven quasi-bishops who should have been eight, they did not show any doubts.On the contrary, the quasi-bishops who knew that Father Wayne was taken away last night, but did not participate in the trial, couldn't help but quietly looked around after they sat down.

Dai Bowen and the others knew about it, but they didn't say a word until the Holy See officially announced it.

The tower bell rang and the ceremony officially began.

All the spectators stood up, and the front door on the right side of the auditorium was opened by two holy knights. The Pope with a wand came through the door, followed by three archbishops.They walked to the front of the stage and saluted one by one, and then sat on the throne on the steps.

An archbishop did not sit down, but walked directly to the podium.At this time, the Holy See is on duty for him, and he needs to be responsible for the presiding process of today's ceremony.

After a brief self-introduction, he roughly mentioned the list of important guests present, and briefly explained the process of the entire ceremony.After finishing these general openings, the archbishop finally started the first item of the ceremony—leading everyone to pray together.

Regardless of whether they were pious or not on weekdays, everyone sitting in the auditorium clasped their hands on their chests and recited the congratulations following the words of the archbishop.

The archbishop is not in charge of the lecture after the prayer.The Pope got up, walked to the podium with his staff in his hand, and began to explain the scriptures in a kind and majestic tone.His explanation is not as detailed as the priests in the past, and there will be no interactive form. It is not so much a lecture as a speech that integrates the content of the scriptures.The pope's thoughts are clear, his sentences are fluent, and his tone is uneven, which is really easy to attract people's attention.

What's more, he added a few small cases about believers, and the protagonists of these cases also came to the scene today.Hearing their own deeds from the Pope's words, some believers almost fainted with happiness.

Dai Bowen listened to the Pope's speech with great interest, and didn't bother to analyze the effect of what he said and the direction of that sentence.It is also quite interesting to appreciate this speech as a pure audience, regardless of professionalism.

This host... should be very convincing at ordinary times.Dai Bowen took advantage of the pope's gaze seeming to sweep over - there is no way, it is really impossible to confirm where he is looking through the veil - and smiled slightly at the pope.

The activities were carried out one by one, and soon it was time for the new bishop to receive the Pope's blessing.

This job is actually very simple. Go up in order to receive the Pope's blessing, and you will be officially a bishop.Later, when the scene transitions, the Holy See will send a new bishop's attire, and then follow the Pope to the balcony of the church to accept the worship of the believers, and it will be officially over.

Dai Bowen's position is in the middle and back.When it was his turn, he stepped forward and knelt in front of the Pope, kissed his fingertips, and let the holy water drip on his head.

Father Doring's blessing was no different from anyone else's.

"...May the Gospel be spread throughout the earth."

Dai Bowen was taken aback, the sudden broadcast of information in his mind made him barely hear the Pope's last words.But his expression was still serious, as if he was listening carefully.

After the Pope finished his speech, he stretched out his hands to support Dai Bowen.This was just a routine action, but Dai Bowen couldn't ignore the other party's gaze fixed on him, as if thousands of words were condensed in it.Even though Dai Bowen walked out through the side door according to the procedure, he still felt like a pain in his back.

The moment he disappeared at the door, he couldn't help turning his face slightly and glanced in the direction of the Pope.

But his footsteps did not stop.

An hour later, the viewing balcony of the Holy Land Cathedral.

The Pope stands in the middle.He held the staff in one hand, and waved the other hand slightly as his body turned.Under the balcony is a square where thousands of people crowded together just to pay their respects at this moment.Wherever the pope waved, warm cheers erupted. Even though some people were too far away to see clearly, they were still moved to the point of tears by the believers clasped their hands together.This is not surprising, many people trek across mountains and rivers to the Holy Land just to see the true face of the Pope.

Although there is still half a hazy white veil in front of the pope.

Accompanying the Pope were originally three cardinals, but after a while, seven younger faces came up.

The crowd cheered again, they all knew that this was the new bishops.

Dai Bowen stood beside the Pope, posing with a gentle and amiable smile, and beckoned to the people downstairs.His new cassock is still gold-rimmed and white-bottomed, but the cassock has been replaced with a purple-bottomed gold-patterned velvet texture, which makes people more noble and holy.

It was difficult for Dai Bowen to describe his mood at the moment.He has been cheered by countless audiences, but before that, he never thought he would get such reverence.Although most of this reverence came towards the person beside him, Dai Bowen was still shocked by this fanatical and pure atmosphere.

It seems that there is no need to do anything, no hypnosis, no suggestion, no language inducement, as long as you put on this dress, countless people will trust your words unconditionally.

Religion... Dai Bowen looked at the dark crowd, his eyes flicked across their crying or smiling faces, and he felt emotional from the bottom of his heart.

The Pope glanced at him sideways, and suddenly laughed softly, "Your patience has exceeded my expectations."

Dai Bowen turned his head blankly: "What did you say?"

Because the believers downstairs are so enthusiastic, it is actually difficult to hear what the other party is saying even if they are shoulder to shoulder.

The pope moved closer and said in Dai Bowen's ear, "I said, you are very suitable for this attire, and you will become an excellent bishop."

Dai Bowen smiled meaningfully: "I will work hard."

The pope frowned under the veil.The words of the person in front of him were always specious, which made him unable to confirm the question in his heart: "Maybe we can..."

"Pope Sarnlich," the Archbishop called from behind, "It's time, please move!"

The pope's words were interrupted, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to say goodbye to the people, and turned back to the corridor.He still has a lot of things to do and a lot of people to meet, so the unfinished words just now can only remain silent.

Dai Bowen and several purple-clothed bishops stood in the corridor to watch him, and a long line of dozens of people followed him.

Mills said, "Let's go, too."
