Tyrant Code

After everything was ready, Gordon stepped into the carriage and headed to the chapel with the lord and his wife.

No one other than baptized children and their parents are allowed into the chapel.So Brian was left at home, and he was probably still asleep at this point in time.

The carriage drove steadily towards the city. Gordo looked out the window and found that at this point in time, citizens in twos and threes had come out for activities.Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a simple and elegant building.It was a not-so-high building with three arches, and the doors were covered with cloud-like reliefs.Large stained glass windows are inlaid on the light gray walls, and the slender buttresses that are dense like bouquets stab towards the sky and meet at the top of the sharp tapered tower.

When Goldo got off the carriage, Ma Xiao came over to help him.

"...Is this the first time for Lord Gore to come here? Although this is only a small church, it was built by the citizens with six years of raising funds." Ma Xiao introduced, "It is imitated from the St. Peter's Cathedral in the imperial capital. Its architectural style. But I heard that the style of this small church is still less than one ten-thousandth of that of St. Peter’s Cathedral.”

It is simply unimaginable how magnificent and elegant St. Peter's Cathedral is.However, the cathedral, which sounds very powerful, is not available to everyone. Generally, it is only open to use on occasions such as the king's enthronement, the king's marriage, and the death of the king.

But in such a remote city, it is quite enough to use such a small church to handle the christening ceremony of a group of children.

After the lord and the lord's wife got off the carriage, Goldo followed them and entered the chapel, where he found many people standing inside.Judging from the decoration, there are commoners with less affluent families, as well as aristocrats or wealthy businessmen like Goldo.But among all these people, Gordo is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.

When the lord's family walked into the church along the lily carpet, the whispers in the church disappeared for a moment.All the people bowed to the lord's family, bowing their knees and bowing their heads very respectfully.

The lord waved his hand, telling everyone not to mind his presence.As he spoke, he patted Gordon on the shoulder, like an ordinary old father who worried about his son.

There were more than a dozen children standing scattered in the church. This was the first time Goldo had seen so many people of his age.These children should all be born in the same month as him, but only a small number of them are as fair-skinned and tall as him.Several of them looked too thin, or their skin was black and yellow, and they looked like they were used to hard work.

Several curious eyes cast on Gordo.But when he touched his luxurious outfit, he looked away as if he was burned, and dared not stretch his head to look around.

Soon, two priests who assisted in the ceremony came and led the children to another room.This is to take them to change into uniform attire, so that the holy water will be poured later.

He was about to walk in that direction, but someone patted his shoulder suddenly.Gordon turned his head subconsciously—it was actually Atrium.

His teacher was wearing a platinum gown, with blond hair standing up unusually high, holding a roll of parchment in his hand, on which was probably a list of attendees for the christening ceremony.

Gordon: "...?"

Atricia pointed in the other direction: "You can go there to change clothes. There are two compartments there."

Goldo: "...OK."

It seems that this is the special treatment that only nobles can enjoy in the legend, right?

Gorduo walked in the direction that Atricia pointed, and found that there were indeed three or five separate compartments behind the door, but he was not the only one behind the door.

It was a boy with black hair and dark eyes like him, with slightly curly hair, three or four centimeters shorter than him, with healthy apple-like cheeks.

The boy was dragging his cloak, and when he saw Gordo suddenly open the door, he seemed to be taken aback, only to hear a "ding", and a small golden object fell from his hand.After he really saw the person coming, he bowed solemnly: "Master Gore."

Gordon: "You know me?"

The boy blinked, with an embarrassed smile on his face: "I'm Alfred from the Barton family. My father is the lord's adjutant..."

Gordon felt a sudden suffocation.He really couldn't remember the names of the uncles around the lord's father.Not to mention the names of those uncle's sons.

But he still smiled back and said, "Hello, Alfield."

Alfred breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was shocked to learn that my birthday is in the same month as yours. It's an honor to join you in the ceremony. Ah...you choose the compartment you like first, I'm the same wherever I am."

Goldo nodded, without further excuses, he picked a room at random, locked the door of the compartment, and began to change clothes.

A neat white linen robe and trousers lay on a wooden table in the cubicle.The shape is a bit like pajamas.Gordoli took off his clothes neatly, and after putting on a robe, he found that the size was just right.

Then he heard an annoyed murmur from the next door.

Gordon knocked on the wall of the cubicle: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think the robe is a little too big...I was going to use a brooch to hold the excess fabric in place...but mine broke."

Alfred whispered.

Gordon suddenly remembered what the boy dropped when he entered the door.I'm afraid it was broken at that time.

Gordon thought for a while, and found a brooch from the clothes he had drawn. This brooch was made of pure gold, and it was engraved with the crest of the Moran family - a shield and climbing on vines. rose flowers.Goldo slid the brooch along the gap on the floor of the compartment: "Lend it to you. Return it to me after the ceremony."

After a brief silence, there was a cheerful answer.

Alfred: "...Thank you!"

Gordon nodded, opened the compartment door, and walked out.

Generally, people do not wear their coat of arms at christenings.But for Alfield, it is an honor to wear the family crest brooch presented by the lord's family during the ceremony.

Not long after, Alfred also walked out happily.He put the brooch on his chest and folded the overly wide neckline to hold it together.

He'd wanted to find someone to change into a suit that fit...but he didn't want to do that at all now!

Gordon walked out of the compartment, stepped through two arches, and walked towards the central hall.There were already many children in the same attire as him.They stand in a row according to their position.

Gordon stood still in his place, and after a while, there was another person beside him.The man smiled and waved at him. It was Alfred who had just met.

Gordon laughed it off.

The familiar figure on the podium in front of him was his teacher, Atrichia Horne.At this moment, he was solemnly fixing the parchment in his hand on the marble slab, his fingers in white gloves stroked the thick book spread out beside him, and announced in a low voice: "The ceremony has begun."

All the children spontaneously knelt down and began to chant hymns towards the white statue of the Holy Lord.

"Holy Lord of Mercy,

wash away sins,

pure white soul,

I pray for your coming. "

So repeated three times.Several priests held gold utensils in their hands, splashed holy water, and then used their knuckles soaked in holy water to draw crosses on the children's foreheads.

Gordon closed his eyes, and there were wet water stains between his brows.I don't know if it's his illusion, but when it was his turn, the priest who made the sign of the cross was gentle, wasn't it at 01:30——

Goldo opened his eyes slightly, and found that it was Atricia who took off the gloves and came to perform the ceremony for him.

The white and clear knuckles brushed between his brows, as lightly as the wind blowing the petals of a flower.

The next step is to perform a symbolic whipping.

Gordon watched Attricia take out a black soft whip from his waist... He always felt that there was something wrong with this scene?

However, before Attricia's obviously weak whip fell on him, the door of the chapel opened with a bang.The golden sunlight swayed into the church, and an old man with bare feet and white robes and a stooped body hurried in with a cane, followed by many young men in the dust.

Everyone looked at him unexpectedly, and some even exclaimed subconsciously.

"This is... this is Lena!"

"Lena? The seer from the south?"

"He once predicted many disasters, and I heard that the king intends to consult him about the fate of the country..."

"How could such a person appear here?! Behind him are his followers..."

With a stern face and without saying a word, Lena successfully opened a road surrounded by believers, walked directly to the central hall, and stood behind the crowd who were undergoing the baptism ceremony.

"Stop, stop... stop!"

Lena hit the ground with his crutches, and the dull echo echoed in the empty chapel.The children stopped singing hymns and looked in Lena's direction curiously.

Lerna pointed at the statue of the Holy Lord with his crutch: "Holy Lord! A son of darkness has descended among you... He is the reincarnation of the devil. He will eat us, drag our souls to hell, and sacrifice them to the gods. Lord of Darkness!"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire chapel was deposited for a moment, and then boiled up.

"how is this possible……"

"Oh, my Holy Lord..."

"The prophet means that there is a son of darkness who is being baptized?! Who is it?"

People started talking.

Atrium stopped making the sign of the cross, stood up, frowned, and looked at the prophet named Lena with mentally retarded eyes.

"The Son of Darkness..." he asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Goldo: "..."

Goldo thought to himself, it can't be me, I'm an atheist, and I don't do sacrifices.

I saw Lerna leaning on a cane, step by step, and began to wander among the children in flaxen robes.He was extremely thin, which made his wide-open eyes even more terrifying.A few timid children were almost scared to cry by him.

When Lena's gaze passed by Goldo, he obviously paused.But soon, he turned his gaze to Alfred next to Gordon, and stayed on him for a longer time.

Alfield moved with some discomfort - the golden light on his chest flickered away.

Lena frowned, and suddenly took a deep breath, pointing the cane at the confused Alfred, with a hoarse voice:

"...It's him! The devil's son disguised among the sheep!"
