[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

The Grace Festival is held on May [-]th. Legend has it that God created spring on this day, saying that the day before and after this day is spring, so that people can grow grains and raise livestock for food and clothing.

Samuel calculated carefully, and this turned out to be the second year he came to this continent.It was also spring when he came. Looking back on this year’s experience, it’s hard to describe in words. If it’s like Samuel’s Chinese teacher here, every semester when school starts, he will be asked to look back at the past and look forward to the future. I can only make it up, write tens of thousands of words eloquently, and then sincerely regret that I didn't study hard before.

It's only been a year. In the past, he felt that the year passed so quickly. He didn't do anything. The year was over. It was nothing more than waiting for the holidays. Time was gone, but now, every day is passing It's urgent, it's burning.

As the Son of God, Samuel had a privileged seat to watch the vote of the Cardinal Council.Sitting above him was the old Pope, who was in his last days as Pope. He still smiled kindly, as if the tension in the air next to him hadn't affected him at all.Samuel had some sympathy for the old man, but the sympathy only passed for a moment, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.The plan for the war was brought up by the old man, and he also initiated the previous arrangement. After today, he will enter the monastery of the Holy See of Fern. Once he enters, he cannot come out again.In that monastery, countless popes who have not held a funeral have been buried. Of course, the Holy Son of the past and the blond and blue-eyed who were not chosen as the Holy Son will also die there.

But Samuel didn't want to go in, even if it was too early for him to think about it.

Voting is held in a meeting room inside the Cardinal's House.The conference room was very large, and it was packed with a large group of people.In addition to the fixed number of cardinals and archbishops at 12, there is no limit to the number of cardinal priests and cardinal deacons, as long as they meet the qualifications, they will join, but even so, the number of priests at these two levels in the entire single-divine area is only [-] There are only two of them, the youngest is just thirty, the elderly is already dying, and some are lying on a stretcher, already paralyzed and unable to get up, and some who really can't make it back will be sent by the communication crystal The ball is passed in real time, and three people have to supervise to ensure that it is the person who voted.

It is said to be a very important matter, but it has really started, and voting is also very fast.Hanging on the wooden board in front of the meeting room, four names, including He Bosi, are engraved. The voting time is 10 minutes. After all the votes are collected, the votes will be counted. After each name gets ten strokes, it will be drawn outside the ten strokes. A box is framed.

He Bosi had a smile on his face, completely different from the nervous cardinal sitting next to him. He gave people a sense of calmness, not the calmness of arrogance. Instead, he gave everything to God, and he just had to wait. sense of devotion.

Samuel noticed that many people showed admiration after seeing Bosi Ho's behavior.Only Samuel knew that Ho Boss was so calm because he had already decided that even if he could not become Pope, he would take the risk of becoming a despised schismatic schismaticist, and he would still advocate his return to primitive religion.

Becoming the pope on the one hand, and being a schismatic on the other, no matter which side is in the end, they are all very bold.

The twelve cardinals have the same votes as ordinary members of the Cardinal Council, so there are 310 five votes in total.When the voting was over, Samuel knew Hobbs had won.

There are ten squares behind He Bosi's name and there are seven remaining votes, which is exactly one hundred and seven votes. As for the others, do they still need to be counted?

Losers are never seen again.The atmosphere in the Cardinal's Council suddenly changed and became beaming—at least on the surface, everyone was like this, even the three losers.Samuel did not squeeze into the congratulatory crowd, but just looked at He Bosi from afar.

——For our ideals.

——For my ideal.

The coronation ceremony of the new Pope was a week later, because the Pope's clothes and the crown needed to be tailored according to the individual's size, and the old king had already replaced his Pope's clothes and replaced them with ordinary priest's clothes that did not represent the rank.This week, He Bosi will be with the old Pope to conduct various business handovers. Only after the official handover can He Bosi be called the Pope with confidence.

At the Pope's handover ceremony a week later, Boss wore all the full attire except the papal tiara.The scarf-shaped scarf tied around the neck, the sacrificial cloak worn over the long white robe, and the pope's scepter inlaid with the pattern of the sun and the moon carved out of a single piece of gemstone.Because it is formal attire, it changed He Bosi's simple image in the past, but became radiant instead, and his own temperament did not become vulgar under the background of these gorgeous attire, but appeared more noble and compelling. See.

Under the watchful eyes of the representatives and senior clergymen sent by the countries in the single-divine region, the old pope took off the papal crown on his head, and put the crown on He Bosi's head with a half-bend. At the same time, he left the scene and went directly to monastery.This is not cruel, on the contrary, in the eyes of believers, this is a supreme honor, and only the former popes can get the honor of serving God wholeheartedly - they once dedicated their lives to the Holy See, now, it is their last time , dedicated to God.

The former Elijah Hobbs, according to the usual rules, became St. Hobbs.His name was temporarily taken away by God, and he was given the special name of a saint.He Bosi stood there, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, but he described it as dignified.

Listening to those people's praise for the new pope, Samuel praised him and said that Hobbs would definitely usher in a new heyday of the church.Isn't that right, Samuel shrugged slightly, thinking to himself, people are not just creating a new era. By then, I'm afraid they will never remember the admiration they felt today, and instead regret voting for him today.

After the excitement, Ho Bosi, who had already changed into his normal clothes, had someone call Samuel over.Samuel watched him intently, and suddenly smiled.

He hasn't changed, which is of course good.

Samuel didn't care what era Ho Boss wanted to bring the Holy See back to, and what ideas he promoted. Anyway, Samuel knew that from the Shenyin in the Shenyin Biography, this person was really magnanimous and somewhat Confucian. It's the feeling of not conspiring with each other. If this proposition can be realized, it will be very good for Samuel. This is a must for peace!

They had a conversation in the study, and He Bosi introduced several bishops to meet Samuel. The next day, Samuel boarded the chariot dedicated to the Son of God, surrounded by the Knights of the Son, and left Fern.

Samuel looked listless in the carriage. Although he had just gotten into the carriage, he was already thinking about the painful days in the carriage in the future.Edwin hasn't been close to him for a long time, and at this moment, he is pawing firmly on Samuel's lapel with his paws. The whole body of the white cat is lying in Samuel's arms, squeezing Xiao Hua so hard that he can't get close, and Xiao Hua is so angry After pecking at Edwin for a long time, he was defeated by his feigning death.

"I suddenly felt that the few people He Bosi asked me to meet, at first I thought they had the same opinion, but now that I think about it, I don't seem to know what He Bosi is going to do."

"Such a big matter, of course, should be treated with caution, even if you can't fully disclose it to your cronies, it is estimated that you have to infiltrate his claims step by step."

"Then how dare he let me know?"

"Maybe it's because you're already on his kill list?" Edwin joked, earning Samuel a snort of laughter.

"I don't know, I can't help but believe him when I look into his eyes... He can probably see what I'm thinking, thinking that I'm with him, although he's actually very wrong— —He is for God, and I am for man."

"It's fine that he's harmless to you." Edwin thinks that although Ho Boss is very dangerous, it's not harmful to Samuel, as long as Samuel can cleverly refer everything he will do in the future to God. .

They don't say this anymore.Samuel, who was shaking uncomfortably in the carriage, closed his clothes and lay down, thinking that luckily he was not on a hurry now, and could stay in each city for a few days.

News of the new Son, Arthur Samuel, starting his tour, spread rapidly as his carriage began.Samuel took the fixed route that all the previous Holy Sons set off from Fern, so people on this route had been looking forward to it a long time ago, and it was rare that such impetuous and agitated behavior that could not restrain their emotions was not affected. The rebuke of the priests of the church, because they all expected to see the Son quickly.All of a sudden, the faith everywhere became stronger again, and began to believe that God had never given up on them.

Samuel's route takes Fern as the midpoint and begins to circle around and expand outward.Because the Holy Son has not appeared for many years, believers have expressed their desire to see the Holy Son, so Ho Boss ordered Samuel to go to some small and medium-sized cities that he would not stay before. This is the first order issued by Ho Boss after he became the Pope. , was echoed by the majority of believers, who said that the Pope is too considerate of the people's sentiments, and he is simply not too wise.

Of course, Samuel knew very well that this was actually a necessary means for He Bosi's claim to be subtly influenced.

This time, there were several extra carriages in Samuel's convoy, which contained the Shenyin books printed with He Bosi's private money.Of course, this book of divine music is not the holy artifact of the Holy See, but the biography of the scriptures of divine music that is widely circulated in the single god area, minus the part of the biography, and looking at the new and old handwriting inside, you know that He Bosi has been preparing for this for a long time up.
