The Dark King - Chapter 625

The dawn was shining on the bell tower of Martha square. Several soldiers on duty who stayed up all night were bathed in the morning light. Their bodies were slowly restored to some warmth and vitality. They relaxed and thought that in another hour, it would be time to hand over at seven o'clock.

At this time, a sudden sound of horses' hooves came. A dozen knights in bright silver armor galloped from the road outside the square. They rode all the way to the bottom of the bell tower. The first middle-aged Knight restrained his horse rope and looked up and said, "listen to the soldiers on duty. The Pope will hold a blessing ceremony here in an hour. Now, it will ring for life Everybody. "

The soldiers on duty were stunned, then happy and excited. They didn't expect that the pope would come here in person, which means that they can have a close look at this great man. This is a kind of glory!

Dong, Dong, Dong

The melodious bell for blessing rings. Unlike the normal morning bell, the bell needs to ring eighteen times in a row.

When the bell rang far away from the square, the residents nearby immediately woke up from their sleep and heard the continuous bell. Some older people had not counted them one by one. Judging from the duration of the bell, they could tell that it was a blessing bell. They immediately woke up their wives and children and prepared to go to the square early to seize a good position in front of them.

There is a difference between praying sacrifice and praying Festival. Praying sacrifice can be held at any time, but it must be held by the cardinal level elders in the Holy See of light. It is usually held in the black snow season and when the rain is frequent to pray to the heaven and the gods to avoid pestilence and disaster.

For ordinary people, it's hard to get lucky in praying sacrifice.

With the sound of the bell, the Knights of the Holy See came to the square to build a prayer altar by dragging wood and shelves with their carriages. These wood and shelves were finished products, which only needed to be assembled.

With the passage of time, more and more people gathered on the square. In a flash, the whole square was full of people and noisy.

"Monseigneur, time is running out." A shouldered Venus young knight bowed his head.

Ernorin nodded slightly, glancing over the crowd under the altar and whispering, "wait a minute, your holiness is always punctual."

"Yes." The young knight nodded respectfully.

At this time, a sudden commotion spread outside the square, followed by a cry of excitement. When El Noreen heard the commotion, he immediately looked at the past, and was relieved. He saw an old figure in a splendid gold robe coming slowly, clutching the ancient cane Scepter symbolizing authority and honor. It was Pope Richelieu!

Behind him, followed by two bright knights, one with flowing blonde hair, was obviously of noble origin. The other had black hair, about thirty or so, and looked mediocre.

The Knights of light stationed outside the square immediately stepped forward to guard the Pope. The crowd, especially the nearest one, was so excited that they wanted to jump on the spot, but they did not have the slightest idea of rushing to embrace. The dignity brought by the robe and Scepter made people dare not to be profane.

"The pope

"It's the Pope who holds the prayer service. My God, I see his holiness."

"The Pope is so benevolent that he himself presides over the blessing offering."

The crowd was moved by the sound of surprise.

In the corridor separated by crowds, Richelieu and his two attendants walked all the way to the altar.

"See the Pope." El Noreen bowed respectfully.

The young knight on one side was also busy saluting.

Seeing his most trusted confidant, Richelieu nodded slightly and said, "how long is there?"

"Return to the Pope, there are five minutes left," El Noreen said respectfully

"I don't seem to be late." Richelieu smiles. "Is everything ready? Blessing words and holy books. "

"It's all ready." With a respectful face, El Noreen looked up at Richelieu. His eyes swept over his body, but there was no sign of injury. He felt a little relieved and said in a low voice, "Pope, I have seen your instructions. I don't know..."

"I'll talk about it later." Richelieu raised his hand and interrupted his low inquiry.

In response, El Noreen nodded, raised his head, straightened his back, and looked at the Square ahead, waiting with the Pope for the countdown of time.

In the process of waiting, El Noreen suddenly noticed the two bright Knights beside the Pope. Their faces seemed strange, and there was a black haired man among them. His hair color had always been a slave or a civilian. He did not expect that he could mix with Richelieu.

He looked twice more, and saw nothing strange. Then he looked away and looked at the bell tower nearby.

The huge mechanical clock hanging on the clock tower slowly counted down to seven o'clock.

With the sound of the bell, the blessing ceremony began.

Richelieu received the blessing words and holy books from El norin. His expression was solemn. He began to read the solemn opening words according to the procedure, and then the blessing words. This blessing word is not a few words, but a very long one, which is extracted from the blessing chapter of the Bible.Du Di'an stood behind Richelieu and looked at the square in front of him in silence. When the blessing words were finished, all the people and Richelieu entered the stage of prayer with their hands clasped and their expressions were pious.

Half an hour later, the prayer ceremony finally ended.

Richelieu said to El Noreen, "let the rest of the people go away. You come with me."

"Yes." El Noreen noticed the difference in his expression and said solemnly at once.

Richelieu took El Noreen to a nearby tavern and ordered the accompanying knights to clear the tavern and keep watch outside. Then he took El Noreen and dudean and another Valet, Noyce, into the tavern.

When El Noreen saw the two attendants coming in, he frowned and said, "you two, go out first. I have something to talk to the Pope."

Richelieu waved his hand and said, "no harm, they can be trusted."

El Noreen was stunned and could not help looking at the two knights.

Richelieu coughed slightly and said indifferently: "someone in the Vatican tried to assassinate me. Fortunately, I didn't succeed. However, I can't return to the Vatican when I don't know who the murderer is. Therefore, it's up to you to take care of the big and small affairs in the Vatican for the time being."

"Are you all right?" El Noreen said eagerly

Richelieu shook his head slightly

"The Vatican is the safest. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if you were out there? Otherwise, I will send more people to protect you, and let the bright King protect you personally. "

Richelieu waved his hand. "I don't know whether the murderer behind the assassination has anything to do with the king of light."

He clenched his fist and clenched his teeth. "If you let me catch who it is, I'll make him look good."

Richelieu patted him on the shoulder. "If you have a chance, help me pay more attention."

"I will." With a solemn look on his face, El Noreen suddenly thought of something and said, "I'll send a few more of my confidants to protect you, otherwise you'll be outside..."

"No, it's enough to have them protect me." Richelieu waved his hand.

El Noreen could not help looking at the two attendants again, with a trace of dignity and jealousy in his eyes. He knew that Richelieu did not fully trust him, but he trusted them all. Otherwise, he would not have given himself to them for protection at this critical moment.

"You have to protect yourself when I'm gone." Richelieu has a special meaning tunnel.

El Noreen looked at his eyes and felt as if he wanted to tell himself something. After thinking about it, he should remind himself not to be assassinated by the murderer behind the scenes.

After taking off his splendid robes, Richelieu took on a simple coat from dudean, put on his hood to cover his face, and turned away from the tavern. He took dudean and Noyce along the street, circled seven or eight streets, and then returned to the castle by the moza River after turning to the suburbs.

"Well, I'm doing ok?" After entering the castle, Richelieu took off his hood, breathed lightly, turned to dudean and said, "I said everything you asked me to say."

"Not bad." Dudean said casually, ignoring him. He quickly ran up the stairs and came to his room. When he saw helissa sitting on the bed, his heart settled down.

He went up and took herisa's little hand and took him out of the room and back down the hall.

Richelieu said, "what are you going to do next?"

"In the dark Vatican, do you have eyes and ears?" Tudian looked him in the eye.

Richelieu was slightly stunned and hesitated. However, he thought that the matter had come to an end. He could only win the trust of dudean by offering a few ears and eyes. He immediately said: "there are two. One is the elder of the ninth district. He is the man I sent to the dark holy see. The other is Riley, a strong general under the sword king. He is the person I put in the sword king and used to be the most outstanding genius sword of the Holy See Master of art. "

Dudean's eyes moved and glanced at him. "The best. You've been sent to work as an undercover. I'm quite willing."

Richelieu said with a wry smile, "I just want to sharpen him. If the sword is not used, it will rust sooner or later."
